I'm going to preface by saying I love the message! Most of the people I love already have resources because I've requested them off helpers and/or friends but here are some people with no and few resources - I'm sorry some of them are not main characters but it's rare that shows cast fat/plus size actors as leads!

Episode Review: ‘Obsidian’ (Distant Lands, Ep. 2)

Airdate: November 19, 2020

Story by: Jack Pendarvis, and Kate Tsang, Adam Muto, & Hanna K. Nyström

Storyboarded by: Hanna K Nyström, Anna Syvertsson, Iggy Craig, Mickey Quinn, Maya Petersen, James Campbell, & Ashlyn Anstee

Directed by: Miki Brewster (supervising), Sandra Lee (art)

Of all the many colorful characters in Adventure Time perhaps none has a more elaborate backstory than Marceline the Vampire Queen. In many ways, Marceline really was the writers’ gold goose, engendering complex story after complex story. By the time the series ended, the vampire’s life had in more ways than one been woven into the very fabric of the show’s mythology.

But because I am a Marceline fanboy—whose zeal for her majesty is rivaled perhaps only by Glassboy himself—I always felt like the show could have done even more with her backstory; I mean, when the series finale aired, there were still plenty of questions that had yet to be answered (What happened to her mom? What is Simon going to do now that he’s “cured”? How did Marcy and Bubblegum meet? Were they romantically involved before the events of the main series? How did it all go south?). Nevertheless, when "Island Song” played for the last time at the end of “Come Along with Me,” I forced myself to push aside this minor, fannish grievance and applaud the show for writing such an excellent character. I didn’t need for every last detail of her life to be explicitly shown on screen. I was happy.

But then, about a year ago, news dropped that one of the Distant Lands specials would really delve into the history of Marceline and Bubblegum’s relationship. In an instant, I tossed my stoic “I-am-satisified-with-what-I-received” mentality right out the window. We were going to get another Marceline episode, and it was going to dive back into her elaborate backstory!?! I could barely contain my excitement as I waited for the episode to drop.

Well, was my excitement worth it? Or was “Obsidian” a big ol’ let down—a tragic victim to grandiose expectations that were never meant to be fulfilled?

I’m quite happy to say that not only was “Obsidian” a remarkable special in its own right, but it is arguably one of the strongest episodes of Adventure Time, period.

The plot of this episode is fairly standard, as far as Adventure Time episodes go: Glassboy (a new character voiced by Michaela Dietz, the voice of Amethyst from Steven Universe) accidentally sets a giant fire monster named Molto Larvo loose on the Glass Kingdom, and Marceline and Bubblegum—who we learn have been living their best cottagecore life together in Marcy’s cavehouse—are forced to save the day. But the series’ writers take this otherwise quotidian adventure idea—a story which, at least on paper, could have easily fit in during any of the show’s many seasons—and employ it as something of a Trojan Horse, using it as a pretense to delve into both Marcy’s traumatic childhood and her and Bubblegum’s romantic history. And, boy, is it a ride!

With regard to the former story thread, the audience learns that sometime after the Mushroom Bomb detonated, Marceline and her mother, Elise (voiced this time not by Rebecca Sugar, but by actress Erica Luttrell, who played Sapphire in Steven Universe), roamed the wastelands in search of shelter; after Marceline’s mother came down with some sort of sickness, she sent Marceline to be on her own. Elise was hoping that this would spare Marcy the trauma of seeing her mother die before her very eyes, but due to some communication issues, Marceline never learned what became of her mother. As such, Marceline began blaming herself for “leaving” her mom to die in the wreckage of the world. This plot thread is perhaps one of the bleakest that Adventure Time has ever explored, and the show does it masterfully, balancing the darkness (e.g., Marceline’s mother coughing up blood) with bright spots of comedy (e.g., the "wazzup” dog) that never feel distasteful.

Likewise, when it comes to the story thread about Marcy and Bubblegum’s romantic history, the special does not hold back. We get to see “Bubbline” at its best and its worst. I have a feeling that the word “fan service” is going to be used by a lot of folks when talking about this episode. As the AV Club writer William Hughes notes, this word is usually hurled around like a pejorative, but it aptly describes the appeal of “Obsidian”. After all, this episode really is “fan service at its finest”—not only does it give the ravenous shippers the story tidbits that they have so long to see (e.g., the moment Marcy gave Bubblegum her rock shirt, Bubbline’s epic break-up), but—and this is very important—it does so in a way that is fundamentally meaningful. “Obsidian” does not feel self-indulgent, unnecessary, or pandering. On the contrary, it is overflowing with deep emotion that allows us to better understand how Bubblegum and Marceline really feel about one another. Sure, over the centuries that the two gals have bummed around Ooo, they have bickered and fought, but deep down, their love is passionate. In many ways, it is like the titular obsidian, which means that nothing short of an enchanted diamond pickax is strong enough to break Bubbline apart for good.

(It’s also quite nice that after seasons and seasons of tip-toeing around the question of Marceline and Bubblegum’s sexuality, “Obsidian” can explicitly focus on their life together, showing the two characters cuddling, kissing, and dancing. In terms of LGBTQ+ representation, it’s a huge leap forward, and I’m so happy that Adventure Time has had a part to play in normalizing queer relationships!)

Marceline episodes almost always featured a catchy diddy, but "Obsidian” really cranks things up to 11 by featuring a whole bevy of catchy songs, several of which are perhaps among the show’s strongest. The first right banger, “It’s Funny,” is the song that plays over the special’s credits. With a grunge-meets-riot grrrl feels, this track really sets the tone for the episode, signaling to the audience that we’re in for, as Lumpy Space Princess once put it, some “drama bombs.” The next standout is “Woke Up,” a brutally honest diss track that Marceline used both to contain Molto Larvo and break up with Princess Bubblegum centuries prior to the start of this episode. This song was written by pop rocker Zuzu, and it—as the kids say—slaps. Layers of fuzzed-out guitar and digitally processed vocals are used expertly to sell Marceline’s emotions and convey how, on the surface, she’s delighted to no longer be under Bubblegum’s romantic spell... even if her heart may not be so sure.

But arguably, the musical jewel of the entire special is “Monster,” a somber ballad that Marceline sings to Bubblegum when they find themselves trapped in the collapsing furnace and are facing what they believe is certain death. Written by indie pop artist Half Shy, this song is, in many ways, something of the inverse of “Woke Up”: soft, happy, and filled to the brim with a sort of love that few are lucky to receive and even fewer can honestly express. Not only does “Monster” finally cement Marceline’s real, visceral love for Bubblegum in song form (remember: almost every prior Bubbline song was either indirect or delivered by an angsty, heartbroken Marceline), but it also “tames” Molto Larvo, allowing him to metamorphose into a strange but harmless cat-butterfly critter. Just like “Come Along with Me,” “Obsidian” proves that the power of love and music will save us in the end—if not physically, then at least emotionally.

Regarding the production-side of things, there’s a lot of praise to doll out. First off, the look and style of “Obsidian” is gorgeous. While “BMO” opted to experiment somewhat with the classic Adventure Time art style, trading cel shading for an almost watercolor feel, “Obsidian” echoes the aesthetic of the original series. That said, there’s an undeniable animation bump—likely courtesy of that sweet, sweet HBO money—that lets Ooo and its denizens shine in all their glory. You can tell that Adam Muto, art director Sandra Lee, supervising director Miki Brewster, and all the members of the production staff really went above and beyond the call of duty. The episode's soundtrack, composed by Amanda Jones, as deserves a shout-out. Jones did an excellent job mixing the chiptune style of the original series with a bass-heavy rock sound that highlights Marceline’s starring role. Bravo!

As another production aside, I should point out that CN/HBO’s decision to make these specials each 44 minutes was the right call. The 11 minute format of the original series often left something to be desired when it came to plot development, as many an important episode was forced to end somewhat prematurely due to time constraints; conversely, the 8-episode miniseries format that the show experimented with during its latter days sometimes felt like too much time (Stakes, Islands, and Elements all had whole episodes that felt like nothing more than the show treading water). The length of “Obsidian”, however, was just right, giving us plenty of time to take in what was happening without ever feeling like it was dragging.

A final aspect of this episode that is worth mention is its many call-backs to previous episodes and characters. “BMO” was mostly a self-contained story that, due to its nature as a prequel in space, really couldn’t reference the Land of Ooo without feeling forced. “Obsidian,” however, throws in everything and the kitchen sink (Adventure Time superfan and all-around cool person Jagm has collected most of them here for those of you who want to see everything laid out nicely). Stand-outs for me include Choose Goose (someone who we really haven’t seen since season five) smuggling sketchy products into the Candy Kingdom, post-Ice King Simon trying his hand at open mic nights, Bronwyn as an adventurous hero, and Finn the (Adult!) Human complete with beard and scars! Of note, Jake does not appear in this episode, except as a tattoo on Finn’s chest. Many in the fandom are now speculating that the events of “Obsidian” take place after our beloved shapeshifting dog’s death. Oh say it ain’t so! Perhaps we’ll learn more in “Together Again.”

Mushroom War Evidence: Unlike “BMO,” which directly referenced the Mushroom War and its fallout (both literally and figuratively), this episode returned to the show’s roots by featuring gobs of explicit hints in throw-away lines or elaborate background pieces. Honestly, there is far too many to list here in a pithy paragraph, but some major references include: the reveal that the Glass Kingdom, like the Fire Kingdom, was created by ‘magic’ blaze from the heavens (almost certainly a nuke); the fact that Marceline and her mother wandered for a time in the debris-filled wastelands following the apocalypse; and the reveal that Marceline spent at least part of her childhood holed up in a bomb shelter surrounded by the bones of myriad dead humans. Honestly, while references to the Mushroom War have always been sad footnotes to an otherwise cheery show; in this episode, however, the references are very graphic, illustrating the sorrow and horror of mutagenic war.

Final Grade: As I said earlier, I’m a Marcy fanboy, so I’m horrible biased, but I don’t care. This episode rocked. Q.E.D.

SURE WE CAN RUB BELLIES

  Sometimes, the world is full of warmth. 

It is full of warmth when I wake up on Sunday morning, head full of pain, mouth dry and a slight air of vomit surrounding my being. Bronwyn had almost full bottles of red and we had much to say to each other. I constantly go to her with my questions regarding the intersection of artistry, love and patriarchy. But what do you want? she asks me, needing to understand my ultimate goal when writing. I bike home, burping,thinking and fumbling with the keys. 

On Sunday, I wake up around 7.30 to pee and to grasp the complicated reality of really needing to brush my teeth. Sometimes it seems like just drinking some water does the job of a brush, but red wine requires more action than H2O can ever provide. Slight mascara streaks aside, I was a Cinderella ready for some more sleep. 

I wake again. Sun is out, a warm man is next to me and soon I’m frying tofu and shoving large bites of beautiful tofu sandwiches into my hungry mouth. The bright red of beetroot spread, dark caramel of fried tofu, spring green of salad, red tomatoes with pale black pepper specks and light beige of fried onion rings and mushrooms. Fried tofu sandwiches seemed to counter the deep hangover I’d stepped into voluntarily, knowing, but not really fully grasping the consequences.

    After attempting to get to the end of Seveneves by Neal Stephenson (didn’t manage), I decided that showering might be the path to internal purification as well. But why not a bath? Good question. Why not? 

Warm Sunday in warm water.

So I bathed, asked Seth to bring my book and read it in the silky water, mascara particles and loose leg hair swimming in the warm water with my tired body. Heavenly - yet soon restlessness recrudesced, so I rinsed myself and left. 

Since my slow heavy body shouldn’t have been constrained that day, I opted for a swimsuit and jean shorts and took off towards the wonderful café HOM where a writing workshop was to commence under the warm, caring, intelligent hand of Keith Jarrett. Exercises, exercises, laughs, curiosity. Lessons for writing from Keith: 

1. Go where your immediate instincts wouldn’t want to go. 

2. Find the praiseworthy. 

3. Contradict yourself, sometimes even sentence by sentence. 

4. Play with your location, play with the characters. Are you alone in this poem? Could there be several you-s?

     Me and Craig then walked to the tiny Thai restaurant and, although my Pad Thai came speedily, his curry took royal time, all of which was filled with warm banter, cracking jokes, talking bullshit. What joy talking bullshit is! 

What a warm Sunday.

Upon my arrival back, the bantersome four - me, Craig, Hannah and Nate - gathered by the door, then more friends arrived and soon we were talking even more bullshit! Always more bullshit! More idiotic conversations! More silliness and derailed approaches to topics! Let’s leave sense behind! 

Once the event ended, Sarah arrived and we shared impressions of that fly 70s sci-fi futuristic shit !! - a play directed by our fantastic friend Ncube where Seth also has a role as a drab alcoholic in the year 2123. When Nate exits speedily, I almost run after him for a goodbye hug (aren’t they a 100% customary by now?). You’re so physical, Sanna. True that.

  Soon, everyone had been hugged ten times, banters were running out of juice and my body was interrupting my brain mojo. Me, Hannah, Hamza, Seth and Yogi headed towards Sonnenallee. I removed my pants straight away and walked in the swimsuit (and a red official bitchass blazer, obviously. Trashy balanced out with classy). Much better - ever since the tofu sandwiches I was desiring more space for the tummy. 

Even the evening was warm, because Yogi came in for an hour or so and thus, life had handed us a 500-words-per-minute beautiful conversation machine. I nodded, took in, replied occasionally and drank water. The boys had made pizza earlier, so I had that piece of heaven with the conversation. 

Yogi left after realizing how late it was. I laid down into a nook on Seth’s chest and read, Seth relaxed with a League of Legends game and we would occasionally try to French kiss upside down and laugh when it didn’t work. 

      We then fucked. 

We then slept.

What a warm Sunday.

N.B. announces date to scrap front licence plates

The New Brunswick government is following the lead of other jurisdictions and scrapping front licence plates in the province.

New Brunswick's public safety minister announced Tuesday that as of July 15, front plates won't be required on passenger and light commercial vehicles.

“It's what the people wanted,” said Public Safety Minister Carl Urquhart. “Most vehicles aren't designed anymore for licence plates.”

Urquhart says he consulted with provincial governments from Nova Scotia and P.E.I., two provinces that don't require passenger vehicles to have front plates.

He believes it's the right move, despite the fact it doesn't save any money.

With the province saying the removal of front plates won't equate to savings for government or consumers, the change is drawing mixed reviews from motorists.

“I think it's a great idea,” said Peter Craig. “I drove for years in Alberta without it and had no problems. And I think it's an extra cost.”

Others disagree.

“If there's no financial change, I would like to see them on both front and back,” said Bronwyn Gallagher.

Driving instructor Sean Daly has some safety concerns about the move.

“I think it serves a purpose having them on the front and removing them, it doesn't serve a purpose,” said Daly. “It doesn't help law enforcement.”

The New Brunswick Association of Chiefs of Police says they expressed their concerns to government.

“Identification of cars will be a little bit harder, but they'll adapt,” Alain Laing told CTV News.

“Along with adjustment, it's going to take us some time to see how positive or negative it ends up being,” Daly said.

The Tories are also considering reducing the frequency of motor vehicle inspections from yearly to every two years.

“If you have a vehicle on the highway, that vehicle is your responsibility,” said Urquhart.“It's not government's responsibility to tell you whether your vehicle's safe.”

But that's still being considered. As for front plates, the government says it will see how the change rolls out, and reassess if safety becomes an issue.

[kyanne-flint12]

Name: Serenity Storm Quartz-Flint

Age: 19

Birthdate: August 20

Zodiac: Leo

Parents: KyAnne and Trixanna Quartz-Flint (72 and 66 years old respectively)

Other Family: Valkaryie Quartz-Flint (sister; 25 years old), Bronwyn Craig (surrogate mother; 47 years old), Unknown (father)

Citizenship: District Two

Sexuality: Pansexual

Career: Trainer for District 12

Distinguishing features: Eyebrows, various small tattoos (most notably a lion on her finger and an elephant on her forearm)

Personality

Serenity is a high spirited, flirty, happy girl. She is rarely seen not smiling, not with a bounce in her step, a stark contrast to both of her broody mothers. She finds a way to bring light to any event or circumstance. She is always warm and welcoming, trying to make friends wherever she goes.

Bio

At fifty-three years old KyAnne Flint was adamant that she didn’t want another child. There were too many risks involved. She was in a state of perimenopause and she knew Trixanna would be following behind her in just another few years. But there was no stopping Trixanna when she put her mind to something. She wanted another baby and said she had the perfect solution. Surrogacy. Both Trixanna and KyAnne had eggs frozen decades before when it looked as if things might have worked out with them the first time round. If they could find a surrogate, then they could have a child that was theirs without putting to risk either of their lives or the life of an unborn child.

And so it was, Serenity was born. She was all wailing screams and high pitched giggled. Born with a mop of bright blonde hair and blue eyes, she was a doll from the beginning. Everyone loved her, everyone thought she was pretty, everyone enjoyed a new baby. The bright and shiny factor faded a year or two later, new babies for the Capitol to oo and aa over, but at home she remained a princess.

She was light in all the ways her sister was dark; creamy skin and blonde hair where Val had near black hair and an olive tone. Their only shared trait being their blue eyes, but even then Serenity’s were bright and youthful, her sister’s steely and cool. None of that mattered to the youngest in the household. She wanted more than anything to be just like Val. The adoring little sister, she followed Valkaryie around like a lost puppy. Val always tried to keep her distance though.

The years went on like that, Serenity playing the princess and adoring sister. When Val volunteered, Serenity was both awe struck and worried sick. She was only almost eight, but she knew exactly what that meant. Her sister might die. The Hundred fortieth games were stressful and a young Ser saw what it did to her mothers and she swore there, no matter how much she wanted to be like Val, she would never see the inside of the arena. This promise to herself was only solidified when Val returned home and a year or two later almost died. Ser woke up in the middle of the night to her sister’s cries once she’d moved back in and learned to comfort her sister. She’d crawl into bed next to the brunette and stroke her back, her hair. Anything to make her feel better. They slowly began to form a closer bond.

At age twelve, Serenity convinced her mothers to let her begin training at the Academy. She still didn’t want anything to do with going into the arena and doubted she would have to in a district with seemingly unending trail of volunteers. But Val had begun working at the Academy in the off season and Serenity wanted to spend more time with her sister. Eventually this training would serve to help her mother, KyAnne, when it came to the Games each season. She didn’t miss the way her mother was aging, so she signed up to be an official trainer for her mother’s home district. She could pick up the slack where her mother couldn’t and the other remaining District 12 victors wouldn’t.

Having more freedom in the Capitol with her new status brought on a more adventurous side of Serenity. She learned how to party and get her way, often sneaking away during balls and other events to get high or drunk. She was having fun, as she saw it, and avoided Val as much as possible at these events, citing her sister as a party pooper. In reality she was just too young to remember the dark path her sister had taken in the immediate years after her victory.
