#Who Are You - Mun

Was no one going to tell me that Jason has a canon bio big brother named Danny Todd, who died while the two were on the streets together, or was I supposed to figure that out on my own in a deep TV-Tropes rabbit hole?

Look at him:

I need to find his comic and learn his storyline because it would be perfect for an idea I have.

[ask-looks-to-the-moon]

I'm going to throw rocks at five pebbles so that he becomes One Heap of Stone...eventually.

Random talking, but despite the problems I've had with the PPG fandom.

It's the only fandom where I have people who aren't exactly friends, and some who aren't even mutuals. But whom we both have a mutual respect for each other. The kind where if we saw each other on the street we wouldn't exactly start chatting but we'd give a nod of understanding at each other and go on our way.

IDK I don't have that in many other fandoms aside from Pibby possibly, but PPG I know that for sure.

Simon's joke of "soup of theseus" is so damn good & way more layered than most people think.

Okay so first- what is the ship of Theseus?

So amongst his many misadventures and legends the ship of theseus was a ship the Athenians believed connected them to the divine living person that was Theseus. The thing is, he was maybe Poseidon's adopted kid/the King if Athen's son and probably not real (or at least if he did his misadventures were super exaggerated as royals = divity stories are) but the fate the Athenians had for him & Apollo (the 6 labors is a fun legend that explains their connection and what the original ship may have been) was so intense, they would constantly give maintence as a form of religious worship to said ship on the island of Delos (where Apollo's most sacred sancutary is) every year it would dock to pay respects.

Btw we don't need to know the specifics of Theseus but he did infamously slay a minotar and Finn did have a good exchange with the Mannish Man to get the enchiridion aka the book that sets Betty & Simon on the paths they are on now so that's neat af

So if you've ever heard about the ship of Theseus being paradox- it comes from the critique that's always existed about that ship's maintenance & religious practices tldr if you are constantly replacing each rotted and borken part of a ship, is it still the same ship?

The soup is a paradox like the ship

That paradox exists in many many scifi and adventure stories like the Nier series & Ghost in the Shell but in this instance we got to first look at the joke literally. Farm world's Finn's wife's soup is the same as the ship. The original soup farm world HW made no longer exists on a technicality, but the way Finn and his kids continue to add on and consume the soup is exactly like the Athenians. It's about the intent of carrying on the memory and keeping the soup around to honor the dead rather than the soup's original recipe {which also is incredibly sad & imples that farmworld Finn is both coping and never learned the original soup recipe}. It's a beautiful way to honor their dead mom/wife and it makes you wonder if that Finn did die if his kids will continue the practice.

But the paradox goes beyond the soup & into our reality

A lot of people have noticed that Fionna's last name is Campbell and Campbells is a real soup brand that would've been around before the great mushroom war. When Marceline gets sick as a kid, Simon goes great lenghts to get her chicken soup- that only worked out because the primordial version of the Mother Gum assisting {which is extreme Bubbeline foreshadowing}. And in that scene the can low key is a campbell design. But what if I told you there's more?

In Cheers, the tv show Simon is seen constantly watching and referencing throughout the original run of Adventure Time & in the recent Fionna and Cake had Carla Tortelli work at a Canpbell's Factory.

Neat references aside the soup ends the moment the main trio hit the remote button and I have a BA in psychology & interest in childrens media and entertainment that I want to milk for once. Metaphorical intention is beyond relevant episode specifics but actually the foundation of Fionna and Cake when it comes to the paradox.

Simon making the soup of Theseus joke is the main problem Fionna and Cake has to address

If Simon can summon his & Prismo's au from his head without proper MMS (Magic, Madness, and Sadness) where does Simon the human start and Ice King end?

As viewers who grew up alongside the series, the majority of 25+ watchers are finding Simon, older Finn, and Fionna painfully relatable because good fucking god we are all traumatized because of the ongoing pandemic.

If you want to focus on the main topic you can skip this part. But if you want to get very serious for a minute, please stay. The majority of people wont to accept what I just said about the pandemic being ongoing because global governments pretending the pandemic is over, the rise of depression and escapism in real time at a social level at a global level but especially in the US where the series is being made, and the daily interactions we have with most people refusing to mask up {with a violent reaction} when there still isn't a cure for COVID has created the perfect enviroment for most people to not accept change or crave extreme change. Fionna and Cake tackles these 2 very common forms of how depression tends to manifest when it's not fully manic to be displayed through Simon (self isolation from poor coping due to loss, detachment from society, dwelling on the past to the point it effects social interactions, extreme forms of religious practice, etc.) and Fionna/Finn (pretending everything is fine, avoidance, going through the bare minimum motions to survive, escapsim and dream of grandure, not caring about sel preservation, no/lack of self control with sweets/coffee, etc.). And I've noted there's a subset of AT viewers who don't relate or find the depections too real to the point they're upset the show's tone isn't as light hearted as AT. The thing is when a global disabling event happens, unless you were under 10 when it happened and even then it's a 50/50 because you probably did lose or know somebody who did die these last several years, you will have some kind of trauma response to it whether you like it or not. Hell, some of you unknowlingly have a gap in your memory about 2020 specifically due to inconsistent sleep schedules that have nothing to do with the shrinking of the brain mass COVID causes that we all call "brain fog" and now that I pointed it out you're probably going to go stare at a wall for 5 mins {sorry btw, doubly if you have long COVID and this is how you found out what brain fog partially is}. As someone who's been dealing with depression since I was a child, it's okay to be not okay given the last several years and doubly if you've been conscious long enough to see the US freefall into fascism too {which I hope encourages those who weren't aware that's been happening to go look into that because we can't get into it right now}. Because I unfortunately know what manic depression can look like - if you find yourself relating to Simon a little too much during ep 3, please talk to somebody who is licensed and trained to do so {not me, I haven't done suicide prevention work since 2017 and am not licensed- I genuienly won't be enough of a resource} okay? Don't throw away yourself nor change yourself for others only. You need to work to accept the past, move on to live in the present, and change yourself for yourself. It won't be easy and resources are out there to not do it alone, alright?

Becuase of how paradoxial and fluid mental health (espeically undiagnosed depression) can be and how AT has it's own version with MMS, could Simon have unconscious MMS still because of Betty's with without a battery but can't tap into it because of his mental state? And could Ice King as we once knew him even be considered a proper person Simon could return too?

The original wish of why Ice King's appearance & abilities is the way it is IS because of Evergreen's impression on Gunter {Evergreen was one of the ice elementals of the past btw- go watch the original Adventure Time for that context}. So Ice King isn't even an original character, just the crown building off the wishes and manifestations of each bearer by emulating a warped version of Evergreen. And that's the main reason why I speculate Ice Thing aka Gunter the Penguin is chill af to the point he got married and can exist with less gems. His wish didn't build off of power to protect Marceline (Simon) nor the power to copy Evergreen (Original Gunter).

As the main trio jump from connected universe to connected universe, more Simons and crowns will appear that are even more removed from our Ooo's crown and it's version of Ice King or Ice Prince or Winter King will only manifest because of the prior and current wishes made. So if Simon does get a crown that isn't the Ooo crown, will the Ice King that once existed even be THE Ice King he wants to be? And will Simon want to be Ice King or an Ice King when the trio do return to his Ooo?

The crown and it's many versions is a paradox that can only be resolved if Simon and Fionna can work together but also set aside their depression to address what they both really want and what that wish's intention will do to themselves and those around them. In short, shit's deep

I applaud the team for Fionna and Cake for tackling such a layered problem and I'm excited to see how Simon's soup of emotions, Fionna's growth, & magic crown of Theseus is addressed.

So I was reminiscing over an old blog of mine and saw how much I used to write. Like it was a lot, and it was always with one or two people I always felt comfortable with. Sometimes I miss having that one or two friends who are like '

Detail plots, excited for a reply --- and talks about all the roleplays you do with each other. where we are so invested in the characters.

I just sometimes sometimes I click with at least one person.

🌸｡*ﾟ+. Life update under the cut! But in summary I've been busy but haven't forgotten the blog and will hopefully be in a better spot to focus on tumblr this next coming month! Have a lovely day everyone~!

Been working on my carrd teeny tiny bit by bit, but boy howdy does moving and all that comes with it take it out of me (preparing to move, the act of moving, and settling in) !! Good news though, I'll finally get my own room on the 31st, so I'll finally have space to set up my PC this coming September and get back to working on blog stuff! c: I've just been drained and busy and pulled so many different directions in such a small amount of time, that I'm just kinda not focused whenever I do have time to sit down and type stuff. I usually just wanna turn my brain off and games or nap.

Still gotta keep job hunting, repaint the room (it's my old room actually! And my cousin left it a downright mess... the walls are so scuffed ;; ;;), move everything in, and set everything up... and then I'll finally be able to start recouping properly! Came back from a trip to Disney with my sisters (that was fun!) and then I get to see The Fluffy on stage this coming Saturday, so the excitement is far from over for me-- not that it's a bad thing! I'm just... really eager to have a moment of... peace after all this pffft~ still looking forward to it, of course! I'm SO excited !!

I've also been sick with the plague (hurray) so I must have caught it whilst on the plane or during my time at Disney :c so my brain has been so scrambled and fried (just ask anyone who's been playing Overwatch with me this passed week LOL) Tina and Snow know firsthand.

All in all, I'm just really eager to do more than just play xbox and stare blankly at a wall all day, and instead, finally feel like myself again where I can reply to Guilded & Discord rp's, type more carrd bios, and then to also have my PC where I can make pretty graphics and get things flowing again!

Hope y'all have a lovely day! Hope to finally-- finally-- be back on here full swing soon enough!

So, do we think that having a child gouge out their own eyes would be too far? I read that and thought wow this really is how far tumblr is going these days. Please tag the trigger #tw eye removal going forward. Thank you, wish you peace and stability going forward.

That is hardly the worst thing someone has written in this series. I tagged it as gore and self mutilation. Do you also yell at George RR Martin for writing things that are 'too far' too?

this is the only time i’m gonna make a post about it because it’s in my rules anyway and i assume everyone who follows me reads them beforehand, but i truly do not care whether you choose to write the targaryens romantically or not. i understand if you don’t like that but the incest is normal for them and it is highly significant in grrm’s universe, and some people are gonna hate this, but it does seem a bit hypocritical to tune into a show like hotd where you can’t just ignore the fact and then be mad that writers/roleplayers continue or even acknowledge what’s canon in it. as if this isn’t all within the realm of fiction.

FINALLY!! ART!! i wanted to give a little rough ref to lilli's different phases! the idea for cartoon!v is that because she's a water fairy, she changes w/ the seasons!

for winter, there's ref to snowflakes/sharp edges and her hair would turn to ice cubes when braided, spring is free-flowing water w/ a lot of curves, autumn is mist (and directly insp by villa amalka) , and summer give her a really poofy dress and hair to mimic clouds!

i also think that dep on her form, it also gives her different abilities--- like as a cloud she can float, autumn can turn to mist, fun things like that.

i also thought of a scenario that on her first transformation, lilli had no idea that any of this would happen and was expecting to melt after a day of playing in greenland w/ her friends. luckily that wasn't the case!

also extra below for reluctant dad having a crisis:

somebody went to the icebox for a week after that.
