SPOILERS!!! REFERENCES AND EASTER EGGS IN F&C ep. 9: CASPER & NOVA (1 of 2)

I hit the image limit so this post will be in two parts.

These last two episodes feature traditional Adventure Time title cards with intro credits, which is something the others haven't had.

There is a butterfly floating above Fionna when she enters the "Land of Ooo". The same thing happened to Cake when she entered Ooo, and to Simon later on, but this butterfly doesn't have a face on it like those. This is our first hint that something is wrong.

The Betty statue in the background of this shot is on top of a four-faceted object that sort of resembles Glob's helmet; an item that she used to gain her magic powers in You Forgot Your Floaties. Also in this shot are several gnome fairies from The Enchiridion and Billy's Bucket List, and of course Mrs Cupcake and genderswapped Chocoberry. Mrs Cupcake has appeared before but I think Chocoberry is a new design for this episode.

This is our first and only look at what Hunter Wizard would look like. Mostly the same as his main universe counterpart.

This species of dragon first appeared in Memories of Boom Boom Mountain and has been in several subsequent episodes. I'm not sure who the giant cyclops is. It could be a genderswap of the cyclops from Another Way, or perhaps the rock giant from Five More Short Graybles.

Lots of the text in this scene is hostile. There is this sign behind the counter, of course, but lots of the books on the shelf also have violent names.

This series loves giving us extremely fucked up Simons.

This background character looks like Phlannel Boxingday. It would be hilarious if that was the case, considering he is widely assumed to have been a disguise of Princess Bubblegum rather than his own character.

This might be genderswapped Tiffany. She's wearing Tiffany's pink shirt under her jacket. Maybe she has a masculine name in this universe.

We get a better look at the newspaper from the first episode, featuring Betty. It also features the fake butterfly from the dream which feels like a bad omen.

Marshall Lee's t-shirt features the cake pop from Princess Bubblegum's rock shirt, first seen in What Was Missing.

The Lich first mentioned being a Scholar of GOLB in the episode Whispers. In this episode it is confirmed that he has been working towards his goals in GOLB's name. But it doesn't seem like he's actually had any line of communication with GOLB this whole time. GOLB doesn't seem to appreciate The Lich's efforts to wipe out all life; and now that GOLB is fused with Betty, they certainly don't.

The Lich rips off Billy's skin to reveal his skeletal form, which is the same as it was in Escape from the Citadel, complete with the metal plate on his ribcage.

GOLBetty turns the Lich into a tetronimo, implying that all of the tetronimoes surrounding them were once powerful beings who defied GOLB; perhaps they are even all alternate versions of The Lich.

Shermy and Beth! This episode incorporates a lot of the extra lore that writer Steve Wolfhard published shortly after the release of Come Along With Me. It canonises the fact that Shermy and Beth are rebels who oppose the tyrannical rule of Gibbon, who is Charlie's future son from Daddy-Daughter Card Wars. This place is the Pup Kingdom, which is featured in the Come Along With Me title sequence and is a central part of Wolfhard's 1000+ lore.

These are the same kinds of soldiers as seen in Graybles 1000+ when Cuber interrupted the space wedding. In that episode, you only got a very brief glimpse of their jowls. This episode makes it more obvious that they are pups.

All of these pups in the windows are designs from Steve Wolfhard's "Every Pup Has a Power" series of drawings. They once had superpowers, but their powers were extinguished by Gibbon.

This is Jake's favourite mug from the episode Puhoy, and the house in the snowglobe is Tree Trunks' house.

There is a Shermy plush in this pile of junk. There might be some other recognisable stuff in that pile too. I think the popcorn machine is from something but I can't remember what, and the pool toy might be a reference to the Lub Glubs from Beautopia.

This is our best shot of the Pup Kingdom, with its space elevator.

Beth is a revolutionary communist confirmed.

Shermy Simon shouts breadballs, an expletive that he previously used in the episode Simon & Marcy.

The clouds in Fionnaworld are shaped like GOLB blocks while Simon is in the presence of GOLB. We also get a better look at all the glitched out buildings, like that door that leads nowhere.

I think the creature next to Gunter in this advert is a yeti from the show Summer Camp Island, which a bunch of Adventure Time alumni went to work on after the original show ended.

There is a poster for Super Porp, a fizzy grape juice introduced in the episode Dark Purple, along with their mascot Cheryl.

Jake is on these packages in one of the shops.

The Library looks incredible now. In the original show, only the top part with the dome could be seen sticking out of the ground. Either the ground has eroded away to reveal the rest of the structure, or the library has been greatly expanded over time.

Turtle Princess is dead and apparently a robot took over her empty shell and continues to work as a librarian. These are the first gun-books we've seen that also function as actual guns.

These are the pagelings from the episode Paper Pete. They're much larger than they used to be. They don't have many books left to protect these days.

Casper & Nova mention lodging in the seaside town of Scandia on their quest to find the crown. This is a reference to the fact that Simon and Betty found the crown in Scandinavia, as mentioned way back in Holly Jolly Secrets.

I hit the image limit! Link to the second part.

You know, if I had a nickel for every time I made an OC, that was an ancient monstrous or eldritch being, that took the human shape of a beautiful woman, and had a cult ...well I'd only have $0.15 which isn't a lot but it's funny that it happened 3 times. Introducing from left to right the pretty blonde girl next door Tiffany Newman, and casket for an eldritch being from @the-passenger-if . On the middle is Tihamah an ancient sea dragon/ Leviathan, I originally created her for an abandoned IF, Honey & Fire, but I liked the character concept of a dragon walking around in human form so her character developed and evolved into her own thing. On the right is Thuban The Harbinger of Calamity from @justpked Fell Star. Thuban is an ancient bestial creature of the void that weilds blood magic and chaos to ensure the laws of balance are maintained.

Despite the overlap in similarities, especially considering their names all begin with T, and they all have at least one noticeable mole/beauty mark on their faces in human form, they are quite different. Especially when it comes to how they became the objects of worship of each of their respective cults. Both Tihamah and Thuban's cults sort of developed by accident. In Tihamah's case, she unintentionally saved a coastal city when an invading armada got too close to her nest, and she slaughtered the entire naval fleet. The residents of the city she saved started offering her tribute in both thanks and in appeasement, so she'll continue protecting them. Tihamah just went along with it because they weren't going to hurt her or her babies, and hey, free food! While Thuban's duties as the Harbinger meant she was often regarded as a figure of fear and dread, others regarded her more as a protector since she'd often target groups and people in power that didn't heed her warnings and threatened the Laws of Balance. It was probably quite surprising for Thuban the first time a group of people showed up at the abandoned temple she was residing in, and she realized they wanted to worship, instead of kill her. Tiffany actively sought out her cult in an attempt to regain her former power so she could stand a chance against the Hunter and become the Apex predator again instead of prey. Tiffany quite enjoyed being revered, although she wasn't into wearing the robes like the other cultists. With time and effort Tiffany puts into her appearance, she's not going to cover up her outfit with shapeless robes, especially when wearing Calvin Klein!!

Creepy Cases of Casper High (Hunters, Dragons, and Damsels In Distress!)

Hello hello my cherished readers! Sorry its been so long since I shared my last case report. Just been busy with life and doing research in general to make sure I've got my facts straight. Anywho, to anyone who is just joining us now here's a bit of a refresher. Last time I shared a case with you guys we were discussing Casper High's very first major ghost sighting of a huge monster made of meat! Feel free to check out the full details of the case by following the link down below!

The official second sighting looks like it might have been more of a one off thing along with the third but I decided to include them anyway since I feel like all of them are important if we want to get a better picture of just how haunted this town is. It happened to Mikey in the library. He went to use one of the computer's in the school library to work on an assignment and ran into someone he didn't realize at the time was a ghost who turned around and attacked him! Luckily Mikey wasn't hurt, just gagged and hung upside-down by some kind of energy net that vanished into thin air a few seconds later.

According to Mikey once he calmed down enough to remember exactly what the ghost said to him, he referred to himself as Skulker. This might only be a code name though so I'll have to look into this further for another article.

Moving onto the third ghost sighting at Casper High this one is pretty incredible if you as me! Why? Because it was the first close up sighting of Danny Phantom himself and an honest to goodness dragon! A ghost dragon! That can only mean one thing folks, dragons are real is now confirmed! I mean think about it. How could there be a ghost of a dragon if there was never a living one at some point flying around?

But moving on...

Before I dive into our next story I'd like to preface this by saying most of these are based entirely on witness accounts that vary a lot in levels of detail which is totally understandable when you think about it. It's kinda hard to pay attention to the specifics when you're running for your life from a huge gout of green flames from the maw of a ghost dragon! Moving onto the case report itself the first reported sighting of this dragon was apparently at the Amity Park Mall in the Abyss clothing store.

There was a sale on the entire discontinued line of Fleecy-T blouses and somehow or another a customer wound up possessed and transformed in front of the very eyes of the acting manager on call at the time. Paulina said she sorta remembers being there that day too but was too excited about managing to guy the very last shirt they had left in her size to really pay attention to what happened when she left the store.

The second sighting of the same dragon was on campus that night at Casper High where it destroyed the girls bathroom (although this wasn't discovered until later the next day by the janitor cleaning up the mess left by the first dance of the school year) then flew off to the football field where our next two witnesses, Dash and Tiffanie, saw Danny Phantom rescuing Paulina. My guess is he saved Paulina from the dragon at some point when the bathroom was wrecked which would explain why she was out cold at the time. The dragon was then defeated by our local ghost hero and the rest as they say is history! I also wonder how they replaced that whole row of bleachers...?

To end things off, I found out there was another ghost sighting the same night by Tucker Foley and the DJ in charge of the school dance's music. Tucker didn't tell me much apart from that he was really taken aback when this ghost girl just floated up to him, insisting on enjoying the last dance with him. As for the DJ, he noticed them while getting ready to pack up his gear once the last song finished and noticed the girl Tucker was dancing with looked out of place in her get-up, aka a medieval styled gown not to mention her feet were literally gliding across the dance floor. Well, assuming they had been ever touching the ground to begin with!

Tucker tells me she was surprisingly mellow and sweet but at the time his nerves were a bit frazzled from trying to help his best friend Danny Fenton keep his parents from getting too talkative about certain happenings at school. The rest of their little waltz is a bit of blur though so Tucker couldn't tell me any more than that. As for why Danny's parents were chaperoning the dance I'll leave that to your imagination since I doubt it's a very fond memory for the poor guy.

But there you have it! I really wanted to make up for my long absence here's three Creepy Cases of Casper High all rolled up into one! And now that puts our total of ghost encounters so far at 4! First was the meat ghost, second was this ghost hunter guy Skulker, third was the dragon, and fourth was this mysterious ghost girl who according to Tucker's description of her might have been nobility or maybe even a princess! Not only that but she bears a striking similarity to the ghost dragon as far as their color aesthetic so could the two of them be connected somehow? Looks like that is yet another case for me to take a closer look into for a future post!

Bad Batch Headcanons from the Upside Down

In honor of the Season 4 finale, it's time for some Bad Batch headcanons! And not just ANY headcanons, mind you, but something very specific...

What Song Would Help The Batchers Escape Vecna?

(Note--I've chosen 1980s specific songs here to fit the era depicted in Stranger Things, but if anyone wants to do a modern song edition, feel free to post it and then link me to it. Anyways, on with the post!)

Crosshair--"Every Breath You Take", The Police (1983):  The combination of angst and underlying creepiness seemed to fit his general life situation after season 1, as he looks to have become a nameless but willing participant in the military industrial complex-turned dictatorship, but also misses his old squad so much even though sometimes, it's like he's only there to watch them do their thing and then fly off into the sunset.  As this was also the song playing during the Mind Flayer's last scene in ST Season 2 where it's watching all those meddling kids find their dance partners, this song could also hint at Palpatine "watching" everyone else, never mind manipulating them a little at a time like he did with Anakin Skywalker.  Either way, a certain clone is now firmly under someone else’s control, and nobody knows when (or even if) he might ever break free...!

Echo--"Take On Me", A-ha (1984):  So...the lyrics were a little vague for this one, but I took the basic message as, 'I might have to leave you behind soon, but I want to come back and visit you again, so mmmaybe if you'll hang out with me now, you might enjoy my return later on.'  Fitting words for somebody who was able to aid in his own rescue before, and could easily do so again if he had the right people by his side.

Hunter--"It's Hip To Be Square", Huey Lewis and the News (1986):  If there was ever a song that a hardened fighter could dance to with their foundling daughter, this would be it.  It's got an upbeat tempo and funny lyrics, and on top of that, I can imagine Hunter trying to embarrass the rest of the Marauder crew by singing along on rare occasions.  In other words, Spherical Dad to the bone...so much so that he wouldn’t hesitate to run back toward whatever portal it takes to get himself back home.

Omega--...okay, it’s finally confession time.  I had originally chosen “I Think We’re Alone Now” by Tiffany, if only for its ties to the heroically dysfunctional Hargreeves siblings from ‘The Umbrella Academy’ and that dance scene where one of their members moves around like a puppet on strings, kind of like another sibling she would just HAPPEN to know.  After the end of the first season, though...?  Her mindset would have definitely changed, and that mindset leads me to "We Don’t Need Another Hero," Tina Turner (1985):  This song plays at the final credits for Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome, a post-apocalyptic tale where the title character has to deal with a dictatorship fronted by a woman; a near-theocracy fronted by children; and then a close conflict between the two societies in which parts of each are broken down and then rebuilt, albeit with a cautious unity between the two--but, in an unexpected twist, the main protagonist that was supposed to be the ‘savior’ actually has no direct hand in this long-term redemption of humanity, which...brings me to my main point for this character.  Given that Omega last witnessed an act of mass destruction by a growing military dictatorship, and of her own home planet no less, is it possible she could begin doubting the protection of most of her brothers even to the point of losing confidence in them?  Or, inversely, will she honor them when the situation demands it, but then grow a little at a time to start making her own decisions, and not use them as emotional crutches in the end?

Tech-- "Danger Zone," Kenny Loggins (1986):  Folks, this is pretty self-explanatory.  This song came from a movie about hotshot pilots.  It’s been chosen for a hotshot pilot.  The singer even has a pair of fancy sunglasses on at one point.  So...would it be too much of a stretch to use this song in aiding said pilot in escaping a bloodthirsty menace from another world...?  I certainly hope not!

Wrecker--”Never Gonna Give You Up,” Rick Astley (1987):  ...Yes, he would use it as a means of trolling the others--surprise, surprise--but given that this is originally a song about romantic devotion to one’s partner/significant other, it definitely could be used for devotion to one’s brothers/sister as well.  Especially if those siblings are literally what stands between you and getting devoured by an eldritch horror...!

So....my stupid ass was up at 12 in the morning and was thinking:

Imagine these girls being friends as adults?

And yes, I am legitimately serious about this AU, OK. This is what happens when I think too much and consider everything in a fictional relationship.

So, where to start? Well, I guess we see what happened fictionally after S1, S2, and S3.

Annabelle Stephenson as Miriam Kent

Miriam Kent: Mayor's daughter, competitive and attention seeker. Miriam just gave up on Zane and that was it. If Zane wanted to chase a loner like Rikki and hang out with her stupid friends, then that's his choice...but then again, can say friends be "stupid" when they're mermaids with magic powers? Yeah, years with video blackmail she managed to preserve through upgraded phones (seriously, who locks someone in a house and forgets windows is overlooking the pool!?) and a near-death experience with being frozen alive (That's the only conclusion she could come up with) made her more prone to keep away and saving Zane from them (though she's sure he was a victim as well when she thinks to that time he was severely sunburnt!). She eventually graduated and traveled to Paris to tag along to fulfill her dream to be a fashion designer. But she struggled, being a small fish in a big pond, and felt envious as Tiffany moved ahead as a model. They fought and suddenly, Miriam was alone. The experience somewhat humbled her (but she remained a bitch). She ended up catching up and becoming an accomplished designer graduate and returned home to the Gold Coast after a few more years in France. Feeling inspired after returning home, she created a clothing line which she labels Land B4 Seas (a jab and revealed bitterness to being ignored for a mermaid) and starts an online boutique. Later on, a friend invited her to a gallery opening for a popular artist, but not finding the artist impressive. She ends up walking into a different gallery opening and comes across beautiful underwater artwork that inspires her& buys against her better judgment. She asks to meet the artist, who reveals her name to be Charlotte...

Brittany Byrnes as Charlotte Watsford

Charlotte Watsford: Artist, daughter, and second-generation failed mermaid. After what happened in the Gold Coast, it was safe to say she developed low self-esteem and morale for herself and went to therapy...and never fully recovered. Transferring school and graduating someplace else, she did try to avoid anything from her past. Mermaid merchandise, handmade jewelry, blonds with blue eyes? She veered from. It was a miracle that she began painting again. Taking a job as a part-time art teacher while working as a street artist. Eventually, she felt it was time to sell her older artwork for her mermaid days and found herself recognized by an art collector passing by and fallen in love with her underwater work. From there, she not only grew with her craft, but Charlotte started doing small art galleries. She enjoyed using her other (land) subjects, but the collector, her agent, and curator agreed that her best works were the underwater. So lifelike, it was as if she'd swam deeper even experienced divers can go yet so personal that it spoke to another's sense of personal depth. By inconvenience, Charlotte's already small gallery opening was booked with a Mother's, so the rented space was shared (and it didn't help that the opposing artist was more popular), but it was by chance that a wondering fashion designer invited to the opposing gallery wandered into hers and brought all her underwater artwork and introduced herself as Miriam Kent...

Alice Hunter as Tiffany Brown

Tiffany Brown: Former underappreciated sidekick to business partner and model. Tiffany grew up with Miriam on an equal footing, but it was her shy demeanor that caused the unbalance as they got older. Tiffany followed Miriam to Paris, which was the beginning of the end of their friendship. Tiffany flourished as a budding model while Miriam struggled as a design student, and an ugly fight ensued and they parted ways. Tiffany came back to the Gold Coast to study business (the ability to read a contract is a powerful tool) and started investing in small businesses while she modeled at an agency. It was during a shoot that one of the models bailed and endangered to be scrapped for good when she just picked a random girl off the street, who turned out to be, just, an ethereal beauty! After explaning the situation and borderline begging, the girl stepped in for the shoot with a strange request not to do anything involving water. After the shoot, Tiffany was grateful for her help and asked to pay her back. She gave her her number for lunch on a piece of paper and signed it, Bella H. ...

Indiana Evans as Isabella "Bella" Hartley

Bella Hartley: Former singer, mermaid, gelatin dessert makerand reclusive baby of the group. After saving the world from a comet, Bella thought keeping her friendship and relationship after high school would be easy. But nothing is rarely easy. For starters, a girl named Emma Gilbert enters (or re-entered, according to Lewis) the picture, watching the girls foregoing their crystals, learning how long the girls were mermaids and found herself essentially pushed out. She tried to find solace in Will but found out he was cheating on her and just...couldn't find it in herself to forgive him. And he took the breakup badly. Like "restraining order" badly. This led to Bella living a somewhat isolated life when she decided to move from the coast. However, she's found a strange side hustle using her powers to create gelatin desserts with Agar Agar Powder (seaweed) which she makes and sells out of her home. She hadn't talked to any of the girls or guys since. One day, she was out buying ingredients when grabbed off the street and asked to be a stand-in model. The girl asked her seemed desperate and Bella didn't see the harm in helping her, just as long as she wasn't involved in anything with water. The shoot was really fun and when the model, who formally introduced herself as Tiffany, asked how she could repay her, and to her own surprise, Bella agreed to lunch...

How they become friends:

Miriam flat out asks Charlotte to work under her as a designer. While both careers are technically art, Charlotte's resistant. So, she takes her out to eat after the gallery and got drunk bonding over boys not wanting them, failed friendships, and the lowered self-esteem they fought through. Charlotte ended up saying yes during the hangover the next morning.

Bella and Tiffany had lunch together and bonded over being underappreciated and unimportant in their friendships and relationships. Bella brought one of her gelatine desserts to the table and with one taste, Tiffany was already offering to invest in her side business.

Miriam and Tiffany ended up meeting again somewhere down the road when Miriam had created a lot of clothes that needed models in them and truly didn't expect the "T. Brown" she hired to be Tiffany. Initially awkward, Miriam powered through it and impressed Tiffany with her plans, who then impressed her with her understanding of business and gave her advice on how to grow if she planned on opening a boutique. The encounter would be the beginning of a bridge rebuilding between them.

Tiffany met Charlotte during the shoot and was impressed that her artwork was the inspiration behind Miriam's designs. Charlotte claims she's just a painter who's learning as she goes along but Miriam is a huge help. She shows Tiffany one of her paintings and Tiffany is quick to buy one.

That painting she brought from Charlotte ended up proudly in Tiffany's home and when Bella came over, she instantly recognized the artwork that could only match the insight of a mermaid. She wanted to meet the painter behind the painting and Tiffany just arranged a breakfast meeting for all four women. Meeting Charlotte, she easily doesn't expect her to be one, having not to drink from a straw and spilled a drink on herself. But the same can't be said for Bella, who gets hit with the drink and runs and...Charlotte follows and THAT'S how the two find out they share a past with a familiar group of friends.

Meanwhile, Miriam (who knows the signs) is surprised that Bella might be a mermaid but has no idea why Charlotte followed after her...or she does and doesn't want to admit it. She won't deny it: Bella's beautiful and if she wasn't already Bisexual, she would turn for her. However, she sees a bit of a loner attitude, which is a far cry from what Tiffany calls her ("the embodiment of living sunshine") but part of her couldn't help but be intrigued by the crystal around her neck. Maybe it's the designer in her, but she's never seen a gem like that before. Tiffany is a bit worried about how long the girls have been home, but Miriam stops her, saying Charlotte likely has her talking and will be out sooner than expected. It's an hour later when they return, Bella completely shamefaced, but apologizing for taking so long and blaming part of it on a conversation. As an ice breaker, Charlotte asked where they all went to school and it shocked them when they all realize they were all students at South Coast High, just missing each other shy of a few years and classes. Tiffany asks how she could miss both girls, but to answer that is a bit painful (especially because it regards being a mermaid and saving the world). Charlotte just calls it preoccupations and rotten luck, which Miriam is happy to drink to that. But when Tiffany starts talking and casually name drops Lewis, which catches Bella off-guard on how she knows him, which raises the question of how Bella knows him and Miriam just starts day drinking early because this breakfast was no longer just about chance coincidences.
