pondery/theoretical thoughts on the Fionna and Cake premiere under the cut

my suspicion is that the "cool ice prince" Fionna keeps seeing in her dreams isn't a version of Simon, but is rather a representation of Ice Finn, sort of like Gunter's pigeon dream avatar in Hoots. this isn't really based on anything concrete except that we see that he has blue eyes, which doesn't necessarily mean anything - mainly I just think it'd be really neat!

I'm not sure exactly who or what is responsible for the glitched-out "normal" world that Fionna Campbell is set in! right now I'm dithering between Betty, Simon, or the crown acting autonomously somehow. my spouse pointed out that the glitches are somewhat inconsistent, which leads me to believe that someone is actively maintaining the world, and that in the city gardens there don't seem to be nearly as many glitches.

I'm pretty sure that all the inhabitants of Fionna's world (I hope we get a better name for it 😅) started out as denizens of Ooo, rather than having been born human. I think that whatever force put them there wanted to preserve their personalities, so I think that most of their memories of the human world are translated versions of their actual memories rather than fully fake.

Gary's behavior and demeanor is extremely interesting to me! it's clear that he's still very himself - there's his usage of very precise measurements and his fixation on making candy-I-mean-biscuit people, but he also seems… not all there? most obvious is when Fionna rhetorically asks him how long they've known each other and he says "hmm, I don't know. I guess, like, forever?" but there's also the way he seems to be slow on the uptake at times - when Fionna eats his prototype before he can frost it he stares at where it was for two full seconds before looking up. currently I have a theory that he's acting a little weird because it's really hard to fit him into a normal human world and keep his mind intact! after all, if he's around Fionna's age then he's about 30, which represents less than 4% of his true lifespan. in addition to that, he's got a very atypical childhood and family tree and he's not in the position of authority he's spent the majority of his life in.

another thing that my spouse pointed out is that the fight with the bear comes across as extremely staged, especially in light of Finn openly referring to Simon as "bait" after he catches the mudskipper. currently our guess is that the bear was a shapeshifted Huntress Wizard, especially since Finn encouraging Simon to stab it in the heart is reminiscent of Huntress Wizard trying to get Finn over his aversion to killing in The Wild Hunt.

Finn does the Martin wink and it makes me sad! 😅

I really hope that the gum family show up, because I think they have a lot of interesting commonalities with the situations of almost every character we've been shown so far! I think that the setup of Dirt Beer Guy's tavern could very easily lead to this, since we see Punch Bowl and Crunchy spending time socially with Dirt Beer Guy in the epilogue of Come Along With Me. there's also the possibility of seeing Gary's family, which I'd be thrilled to bits by.

Ellis' expression when Fionna offered him the bagfood broke my heart a little :( on the plus side I love how he's living his purplest life!

a little quick comic (post Seventeen/pre Come Along With Me) you can't tell me Gumbald didn't make Fern keep tabs on Finn it's canon as far as I'm concerned

their soul buzzes like an old nokia tryna recombine itself when they get within like 10 feet

sorry fern ur stalking is useless u aint sneaky

my handwriting is awful sorry: "I know you're there, Fern. Are those people treating you right? Are your night terrors any better? I put your nutrient mix in a bush out front (of the house)... please come home."

I've decided to write a little additional oneshot for Keep Yourself showing how Finn went from "oml you're alive I'm gonna puke my grief up" to "hey Fern ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ"

he'd definitely have one-sided conversations with Fern stalking him and that'd help process it all/break Fern down a little from frothing rage to an exasperated "pls stop trying to help me bro" mood.

edit: the comic is done!

#keep yourself au #canon universe tho #adventure time #finnfern #fern the human #bro my eyesight is so bad today fuck MS #the gum family doesn't know Fern needs npk mix #the poor plant boy is HONGRY

Luffy Week Day 4- Emotion

One of the things I am most fascinated by in One Piece is the continuity between this small angry child, and the happy-go-lucky pirate he becomes.

I think it's all still in there, he just knows more now!!!

#I may color this but I love the lineart enough I'm gonna put it off for now hahaha #luffy week #luffy week 2024 #luffy #monkey d. luffy #one piece #one piece fanart #my art #me: 'hey should i draw him wearing a shirt or n-' My friends who don't even watch one piece: 'no shirt duh' #when you know more and are more powerful and grow up made of rubber and nothing can hurt you and people love you for the first time #and you have brothers and family and loss and hope and the gum gum fruit inside you and a hat from shanks and a goal to work towards #maybe then you can laugh even when you're angry #maybe then you don't feel so scared and helpless #IDK I JUST THINK ITS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF ONE PIECE #TO ME PERSONALLY #-holding up monkey d luffy- I JUST THINK HES NEAT #gear 5 #oh hey this is my first time drawing gear 5

just

the way Normal sees a chance for kindness and someone to find solidarity with in the same creature that caused Hero's childhood to be irreparably marred by trauma and blood, but she doesn't even suggest Normal turn away from it and even offers to help if he really needs it lIKE

#dndads #dndads 2 #normal oak #hero oak #fanart #kineticallyart #for me the Oak family hits this balance of being just enough drama to be spicy without dying if I sink my teeth into it #Like if I try to stew in the Stampler/Marlowe drama I will surely die #but the Oaks are like long lasting cinnamon gum #anyway sorry i feel like I vanished for a week and a half the last ep hit me real hard and I made a whole new oc world about it #trying to steer myself back to current projects instead of staying neck deep in that one

cue GumGum not knowing Kyborg's arm was metal (and detachable) and just thinking he has a skin condition or something and one time kyborg just takes his arm off to itch underneath or some shit and GumGum's just like "WHAT THE HELL" and the party dies laughing while GumGum screeches at them like "IS THAT A THING PEOPLE CAN DO?? COULD I DO THAT THIS WHOLE TIME??"

that's it, that's the post

Eddie and Dustin sitting in Eddie’s van, parked outside Family Video, where Steve is behind the counter.

Eddie, who has been uncharacteristically quiet all morning, finally speaks up when Dustin reaches for the door handle.

Eddie: I think I’m dating Steve.

Dustin: What?

Eddie: I’m not sure. It’s just a possibility. I could be wrong.

Dustin: But how? When?

Eddie: Well, I went with him to his cousin’s wedding, because Robin couldn’t go, and it was really nice, we had a really good time. We laughed a lot, we ate and then we danced.

Dustin: Danced? How?

Eddie: We pop-locked.

Dustin: No, was it a fast dance, slow dance, group dance?

Eddie: A slow dance. What the hell is “group dance”?

Dustin: The hustle, the hora.

Eddie: No hustle, no hora. It was a slow dance, a waltz. Steve can waltz.

Dustin: Steve can waltz?

Eddie: Steve can waltz.

Dustin: Look how you just said, “Steve can waltz.”

Eddie: What? I’m just saying, I’m surprised that Steve can waltz.

Dustin: That sounded more like “I’m surprised I still have my clothes on.”

Eddie: Oh, stop.

Dustin: Well, what else happened?

Eddie: Nothing. We spent the evening together. We danced, he drove me home, then he asked me to a movie. All of these things individually do not add up to dating but together, I don’t know. And there was this moment, when he drove me home, where I thought…I don’t know.

Dustin: Did you say yes?

Eddie: When?

Dustin: To the movie, did you say yes?

Eddie: Yes.

Dustin: That sounds like dating to me.

Eddie: But maybe he didn’t mean it as a date. Maybe he just needs to get out of the house and since I’m currently one of the people sitting at home thinking, “if I could only find a man like Aragorn” he picked me.

Dustin: Okay, woah, this is Steve.

Eddie: I know.

Dustin: Our Steve. We see him basically every day. He’s part of our lives.

Eddie: I know.

Dustin: I mean, everyone will know, they’ll know if you’re together, they’ll know if you’re not together.

Eddie: Ugh I know.

Dustin: You can’t just date Steve. When you’re with Steve, you’re with Steve. And if it doesn’t work out, it will be really bad for both of us. I mean, how do you feel about this? Do you want to be dating Steve?

Eddie: Okay, look. We’re getting ahead of ourselves here. I don’t even know if this is what he’s thinking. This could be a totally innocent situation and then we’ve done all this what-if’ing for nothing. Let’s just go in there and see if anything’s weird, okay?

Dustin: Okay.

-

Steve, who has been watching the entire conversation from inside: Everything okay?

Eddie: yEs *said while suddenly stepping back and accidentally knocking over a glass gum ball machine. The glass shatters, sending gum balls everywhere as they disperse all over the floor.*

Steve: …I’ll get the broom.

Dustin: That was a little weird.

I got bored again so you get Nimona headcanons

I’m fully convinced that Bal is denser than a neutron star

He’s liked Ambrosius ever since he met him and when he was a teenager he was fully convinced those feelings were unrequited  

All the while Ambrosius was asking him out like every other week and making plans for their damn wedding 

Poor babe had to be kissed on the fucking mouth for him to even consider that Ambrosius liked him back

When he finally caught on he woke up half the institute with his realization because he literally screamed 

He got really excited and asked Ambrosius “So you love me yeah?” 

Ambrosius was out here looking for hidden cameras because no way in Hell can this man be that clueless

He let Bal believe that it was a new development because he didn’t have the heart to tell Bal that he was just slow on the uptake 

He accidentally let it slip to Nimona and she never let him live it down

The boys absolutely made breakup playlists during the movie 

Olivia Rodrigo and Taylor Swift were their best friends during that time

When the dust had settled and they forgave each other and themselves they played the playlists and laughed about how stupid they were (and they both pretended not to notice the tears in their eyes)

I’m fully convinced that the trio has the dumbest sense of humor (which is my sense of humor) 

Bal has a bad habit of taking his arm off and leaving it in the most random places 

Whenever someone asks where his arm is he’ll say “Which one?” Or “I don’t know love where is my arm?”

At first it caught Ambrosius off guard but now he just chuckles and says “Fine be like but don't ask me for help when you can't find it later” 

Bal will normally scoff and tell him he won't (they both pretend the conversation never happened when Bal asks him to help him look for it)

One time they were watching a firework show and Nimona turned to them and said “Remind you of anything?” 

The boys just sat there not knowing if they wanted to laugh or cry so they took turns doing both 

They kept making that joke and Ambrosius threatened to call them firecracker if they kept it up

All they could say was “You act like that isn’t a sick ass nickname” 

Whenever the smallest inconvenience happens Ambrosius always says “I wish the director stabbed me that day” 

Like this man could misplace his keys and look down at the ground and say “Do me a favor come back and kill me for real please”

The first time he said that Bal spit out his coffee and all Ambrosius could say was “You’re not helping this situation hun”

Honestly, I have no clue how old Ambrosius and Bal are but if I had to guess I would say 20-26

And because they’re both really young and Nimona hasn’t matured past 14 I feel like they would have a very complex relationship with her 

They have very paternal instincts when it comes to her but they also act like older brothers 

They’ll threaten to ground her if she sets another piece of bubble gum on fire (which she laughs at) but they also aren't afraid to mess around and roughhouse with her 

Sometimes Nimona and Ambrosius will be messing around and jokingly picking on each other and the next thing Nimona knows he’s being picked up like he weighs nothing and tossed on the couch 

Whenever Nimona annoys the Hell out of Bal while he’s working Bal will just pick him up and place him outside of the lab

And there have been plenty of times when Ambrosius isn't scared to tackle his little ass to the floor 

Oh she’ll make sure they regret it because she could easily snap them both in half like a twig but sometimes it’s just fun to play fight (Ambrosius calls them her zoomies)

They’ll bicker over who actually cleans up around the house and whose turn it is to wash the dishes 

But they’re also able to have these incredibly deep conversations that go late into the night 

They’ll get into very intense fights and then five minutes later Ambrosius will walk into Nimona’s room and leave a tray of cut fruit without saying anything 

Whenever the boys are working from home Nimona will hang out with them

She jokes that she’s “blessing them with her presence” and most of the time they let it slide because she doesn’t really do anything 

She’ll bring snacks drinks games and a phone charger but she doesn’t talk a lot she just hunkers down and waits for them to be done with work

Whenever the boys ask why she does this she’ll shrug her shoulder but the truth is she finds their company incredibly comforting

Stop cause the image of Criston helping Alicent with soothing Aegon down because he’s crying. She’s so young and she’s already pregnant with Helaena and its just all so much. So Criston picks up Aegon and rocks Aegon back and forth until he falls asleep

Oh my god…

Criston always be the father that her children needed. He’s there for it all. When they’re born and when they have their first day of school and are nervous. He’s THEIR dad!

Got carried away lol!!!

he would have this kind, soft voice, no malice or ill held in it, no sickly sweet pity, just a clear want to help, and she's just so tired that she hands over her firstborn without thinking twice about it.

he takes the little thing in his arms with such care and delicacy, the boys head gently cradled in one hand, making it look oh so tiny, his body tucked carefully to his chest. he's smiling and cooing at him the instant they touch, gently rocking him, making him soothe a bit.

he looks at Alicent like a dad reacting to meeting their baby for the first time, his eyes full of pride and love and adoration. he's met the baby before, but this is the first time he's held him, the first time he's truly understood just how perfect he is. Alicent made this little thing, and he loves her for it, for being so strong for so long. he's worried all this time, wanted to help her, to take on the little tike and give her a much needed break, and now he has to make her understand the very honor it is to even hold the babe.

he'll use a gentle hand to wipe away Aegon's tears, the soft touch soothing his crying until it stops completely. only then does he sit down, not too close but not too far from Alicent, knowing she needs a break and some space to calm herself, but that moving the babe too far away would only stress her more. he rock's the wee thing back and forth, back and forth, smoothing his hair and tracing over his teeny tiny little features with his thumb. just as the baby starts to fall asleep, he wraps him in his white cloak, his heart nearly melting when Aegon nuzzles his face into his armor, huffing softly at the warmth that radiates from it.

he'd spend hours holding the little thing, watching over his queen as she too slept, pulling her down against his shoulder, an arm around her to spare her from the rooms chill. both of his loves would be safe and well rested if he had any say in it.

he had sworn his heart to his queen the second she spared his life, a debt he could never repay, but now? now he swore himself to her and her children, he just had to, something in her heart decided it, and no amount of logic could sway it. he would always protect these two, from anything and everything.

just before he too could start to doze into that familiar space any warrior would know, resting but alert and on guard, he felt Alicent take his hand, pressing it to her belly, letting him feel the kick of the little babe inside. make that three, he would protect all three of them, and any more kids that would follow.

#he'd do anything to take the fear and tiredness from Alicent's eyes #anything to protect Aegon #to protect the babe in Alicent's belly #they're his family. he loves them more than they can ever know #he would die for them. go to war for them. but for now he'll serve as a warm place to rest their heads #he lets Aegon chew his fingers. I couldn't find a place to put it into my response. but I feel it very important to mention #alicent hightower #criston cole #pro alicent hightower #pro criston cole #pro team green #aegon ii #aegon ii targaryen #aegon targaryen #hotd #house of the dragon #this concept is going to melt me into goop someone needs to scrape off the concrete. like gum melted onto asphalt in mid july. #I loved writing this #after the first time he gets to touch her belly he takes any and all opportunities she gives him #he's addicted #he would talk to the baby everyday #wishing them a good morning and a good night #telling them they were already so loved #he tells alicent that too. everyday. he makes sure his queen feels just as cherished as their kids do #its his sworn duty

I’m honestly quite fond of the communication breakdown in Bonnibel Bubblegum — it feels very realistic on both sides, especially when you consider that on the level of emotional maturity everyone in the gum family is functionally a child, even if Gumbald/Lolly/Chicle are in adult shapes and Bonnie has been around for 30ish years

none of these people have experience with socialization! Bonnie’s barely started to identify that psychological needs even exist, and because of that she isn’t aware that they can be more complex than “being around people who can talk to you, share common ground, and are not overtly hostile”

and so when Gumbald cuts down the taffy trees for a city without asking because tending to them was hot and tiring work and he had big dreams, he doesn’t realize how much Bonnie will be hurt and upset! when Bonnie makes the butterscotch lake, she seems to honestly think that This Is Just How Things Are Done and that Gumbald will come around. they’re both operating under a pretty heavy illusion of transparency — they think that because they’re fundamentally on the same team and fond of each other, they all have the same long-term goals and will broadly agree on what to do. it’s only when they experience the friction of this mode of thinking that they realize that they want to be respected and honestly listened to

(we can also see Gumbald’s paranoia take root here — he was already ill at ease with Neddy’s existence, possibly assuming that Neddy was a precursor to himself/Lolly/Chicle, and seeing Bonnie make the gummy fish to entertain him made him wonder if, on some level, she viewed him as the same kind of thing as the fish)

so Gumbald comes to the incomplete realization that he doesn’t like it when people do things that affect him without consulting him, without understanding that he’s already done the same thing to Bonnie. he decides to ensure that Bonnie will be satisfied with things that don’t affect his plans… and while he’s at it, he might as well take care of Lolly and Chicle, since just because they haven’t yet hurt him doesn’t mean they won’t

and this leads to the confrontation between Bonnie and Gumbald, where he asserts their equality and she denies it, calling him “bad.” neither of them fully realize how similar they are, just as before neither of them understood how different. how could they, when they have so few others to compare themselves to?
