Continuing my incredibly sporadic and incredibly all over the place Adventure Time watch, it's really hitting me how Finn and Jake really are at completely different stages in life.
Jake had this whole other life going on before Finn became aware. Dogs in this world mature faster, age faster and don't live as long as humans. Jake went through multiple different phases, phases where he was cruel and reckless and even criminal. I had gotten used to Jake being this calm and wise center of the series that it has been eye opening to see that it was a multiyear long struggle to get to that point. And then Finn began coming into his own and wanted to be a hero and Jake changed again for him.
People have commented on the nature of Finn and Jake's relationship and it really does feel like a sibling pair in which there's a sizable gap between the elder and the younger. Jake does at times take on an almost parental role in guiding Finn. As Finn is growing up and really figuring out who he is, Jake is solidly in doggie middle age. While Finn is roaring with restless, reckless energy and trying to figure out who he is, Jake has mostly settled himself and is now making peace with his past and his future.
Jake's death is made out to be tragic but I bet he passed nice and easily of old age without want or regret. A peaceful death. But I believe the real tragedy was not in how Jake died but the fact that he didn't adequately prepare Finn for it. Jake had been the main pillar over the course of Finn's entire life. He has lost people and suffered a lot as teen/young adult, he couldn't imagine a life without Jake even though Finn would live long after Jake had met his natural end. I wonder if the two of them even realized how incongruous their lifespans were. Surely Simon or even the Islanders could have explained it to them. I wonder if it would have even mattered.
Finn did everything with his entire body and being, including love. He had decided early on that Jake was going to be his partner, best friend, brother forever and maybe nothing Jake or anyone said could have convinced him to move on.

Hello my lovelies! How are you holding up? It's almost the end of March, which is pretty darn hard to believe.
I really hope that you're out there having a good day. I hope your heart and burdens are a little less heavy today, even if they're not weightless. I hope you get a chance to take care of yourself even a little bit, whether that's a shower, or a meal, or a walk outside (or raiding the local target for discount chocolate)-- you deserve a break, and to get a chance to feel like you again.
Remember to love yourself my dears, just like we love you. You deserve all the darn love this crazy world has to offer. I hope you can see that, if not today, one day soon.

im sorry but felix is 100% the type of guy to think cats are mean and standoffish bc hes doesnt understand that you cant just treat them like small golden retrievers.
meanwhile farliegh is a cat person through and through. like you cannot tell me he isnt exactly the type of gay person to manage to gain the trust of even the most skittish standoffish housecat only for the owner to be like 'wrow, she hates everyone! howd you even do that' and he just shrugs autistically and continues petting the blob of fur now firmly lodged in the lap of his gucci pants
venetia would have some kind of pet usually deemed creepy crawly, like...a rat, a snake, a tarantula, a lizard, whatever. and then just start feeding parsley to a bearded dragon in her bra at the dinner table to scare the shit out of guests
oliver.....oliver collects taxidermy and diaphonized animals. and in childhood, he had hamsters. they all died comically horrible deaths. most of which werent even his fault.

amanita phalloides // death cap <3
this is the first time i'm posting a picture of fungi that *i* took, so no need to cite my sources here B-) anyway, i found these at the start of winter with my brother. it was really freaking bizarre, since i've hardly found that many mushrooms in person, but i found literally the most poisonous mushroom we know of. you can imagine i was going insane (positive) !!
