Before the storm posting…. Amberprice posting…. Lifeiststrangeposting….

Are you interested in watching Adventure Time, but intimidated by the thought of watching 252 episodes? Have you watched the series before, but want to watch again without any filler episodes (unless it’s Bubbline, of course)? This is for you!

After seeing a request in the ATimers tag, I have compiled a list of all the Adventure Time episodes that contain major plot, important backstory, major characterization, and/or Bubbline moments. I have also included optional episodes that I think will increase your understanding/enjoyment of the show (I put the reason next to it; if it says something about being an arc, backstory, characterization, etc., be warned that not watching may make the major plot points of the show a bit more confusing for you). 

I condensed the show down to 128 of the 10-minute episodes (69 episodes if you don’t watch any of the optional episodes). Optional episodes are in italics. Episodes with Bubbline moments, characterization of Marcy/Princess Bubblegum (PB), or major backstory/plot related to Marcy/PB are in bold. Anything with a an asterisk (*) can be watched at any time (order doesn’t matter, though you may still want to watch it in the same season). 

I hope this helps someone out since I spent three hours putting it together! Without further ado…

I love blue period because it takes art so seriously with stakes as high as your average fantasy shounen manga while being so relatable.

Yatora on the grind making still lifes all summer in volume 1? mood

Yotasuke’s art related social struggles? i was always an art kid, been there

Yatora literally having allergic reactions to the stress of art cram school? call me Izuku Midoriya cause if i have exams and an art piece being worked on on the same week one more time i’ll wreck my arm beyond functionality.

this manga makes me feel represented because i, like Yatora, have complete brainrot except for ‘art’.

Characters who aren’t canonically gay but whose behaviour makes no sense unless you read them as gay

I really disagree with the idea that Will would be ok with liking boys if he didn't love Mike and that Mike would be ok with loving Will if he wasn't a boy. Maybe it's a snappy sounding post but it's also just...not true? Acting like Mike is The One™ with internalised homophobia and that Will is completely chill with his sexuality completely goes against canon.

Did you guys forget the bullying and abuse Will experienced because people thought he was gay? The van scene? Canonically, the only thing stopping Will from feeling like a mistake is the fact that he loves Mike. Because Mike makes him feel like he's not a mistake. He makes Will feel like he's better for being different. If being gay is be unnatural and bad, how can his love for Mike be so beautiful?

Will is becoming ok with his sexuality because he loves Mike, not in spite of it.
