They’ll Never Be Another Cartoon Like... Adventure Time

With the end of Adventure Time: “Distant Lands” and waiting for the next mini-series, “Fiona and Cake”, it has comes to an realization that they’ll never be another cartoon series like Adventure Time. While many people will say that there already is like Steven Universe, Gravity Falls, Amphibia, The Owl House, and other shows that came out in the 2010s, but there’s something about Adventure Time hits differently that many of those shows don’t.  

1) Growing Up 

Adventure Time has been going since 2010 and could’ve easily become been like Simpsons and Spongebob for overstaying their welcome and gotten stale, but instead the show decided to grow, taken risk and having their characters to develop as the series went on and looking at Adventure Time Distant Lands, specifally “Obsidian” and “Together Again”, it’s clear to me it has. 

Look at Finn Merten, he started out as immature adventurous boy

But in later seasons, he went through a lot such as 

Heartbreak 

Father issues 

Losing his arm 

Seeing himself die in front of him 

In those experience, it allowed him to mature to be more passive than aggresive

Then in “Obsidan”, He’s more calm and chill 

But what truly made me realize this is in “Together Again”, they showed Finn and Jake, who are the protagonists of Adventure Time, dead and there’s no ressurection, they stayed dead. It’s something that you don’t see in everday cartoon, most cartoons will show the protagonist older and what they’ve been doing the future, but for Adventure Time, they died.  

It just shows that Adventure Time can grow, even when characters finally pass on. 

2) The Land of Ooo

 What the show truly sells is it out lore and how much it offers. While it takes place post apocalyptic Earth, the worldbuilding is expansive and the lore can’t even compare to Avatar: The Last Airbender, but more to One Piece. There so much that the show has explored such as 

The society of humans 

Elemental beings 

The Crown 

MOs 

Kindgoms 

Mother Gum

Vamps 

Wizard City

and so much more

What I truly love about the series that there’s still so much to explore, espeically finding out there’s more than the Land of Ooo such as planets, and the multiverse.  

3) The Many Characters of Ooo

There are so many colourful characters in the show that are quite memorable, even characters that appeared in one episode. They are even given more depth and development that I didn’t expect to see.

Cookie wanted to be a princess 

Air helping BMO finding her way home 

The unexpected friendship between a Snow Golem and a Fire Wolf Pup 

Dirt Beer Guy (Root Beer Guy)  and Cherry Cream Soda never dated before they married, so they decided to actually date and see what an actual  relationship is

and there’s Cinnemon Bun that got a massive amount of development that actually from a goof in the Candy Kingdom to a royal guard for the Fire Kingdom

And there’s the character relationships that dear glob it’s amazing. Seeing  characters that you don’t normally see interacting is amazing like 

Ice King and Marceline, two secondary characters and creating an entire backstory that’s tragic tale.

It was clever how the writers did by showing a glimpse to their past in season 3 such as 

“Holly Jolly Secrets” 

and “Memory of a Memory”

Having a father and daughter relationship. It was very heartwarming to Simon has gain his sanity and visits Marceline and her bubblegum girlfriend from time to time. 

4) Philosphical Messages 

While there are many cartoon shows have philosphical moments like Steven Unvierse and The Owl House, Adventure Time has gone a bit deeper, making me believe that this show was than just a kid/teen show, espeically getting older. 

BMO wonders if  he grows up, will he remain the same or different. Will it change his body or change his soul. 

Finn questions if being borin is the greatest act of creation, what you supposed to do next and what’s the point making an effort if we “blow up”. 

Marceline thinks that there’s no bad people. Good people can sometimes do bad stuff and that’s bad, but if you do it once, it’s a mistake and that’s not bad

Adventure Time can really make you wonder about life. 

In conclusion, Adventure Time is one of those shows that can’t be mimic for it’s heavy lore, growth in the show and characters, deep messages, and the many colourful cast of characters. Adventure Time could’ve overstayed it’s welcome and can get boring like Simpsons and Spongebob, but it mange to stay fresh with ideas and take risk and that what makes Adventure Time enjoyable.

Dazai analysis

I think people tend to forget that Dazai is actually a depressed burnt out genius who has a problem with alcohol (whiskey) and probably smokes to numb the pain or even forget how numb he actually feels sometimes or so he started and then became addicted.

Dazai is basically a young adult, after all, and has a shit ton of trauma.

He's known in the Port Mafia as Demon prodigy and was raised by Mori himself.

When talking about him, the Mafia says "your blood is black. Mafia black, more so than anyone else in this country, "

And yet, we can see glimpses of hurt. We can deduce Dazai is hurt by everyone brushing off his suicide attempts. We can tell he doesn't actually want to form bonds with others because he knows he'll end up leaving and it's better to be hated than to have people crying his death.

He could have just left the Mafia, after all, and yet, he blew up Chuuya's car. Why do you think this is? Because Dazai knows Chuuya cares about him.

Dazai is scared of feelings and scared of even the idea of being loved and doesn't find himself worth it. This is the truth.

Even more, looking at how much he cared about Oda, we can deduce that at some point he believed he could be loved or accepted. But Oda died and I'm sure Dazai blames himself. He probably thinks that people who do stick to him will not end up well. He probably finds himself to be like a black cat—a misfortune.

"The greatest misfortune for Dazai's enemies is that they are Dazai's enemies"

He craves death—or, better said, he craves being free. Some might not understand it, but when you are suicidal, you don't necessarily crave death itself. No, death is too simple and too easy. You crave liberation. You crave the chains to be ripped apart, you crave freedom, from yourself, from people, from feelings. From everything that is considered life and actually brings you nothing but sorrow.

Someone who finds themselves in such situation doesn't think on a too long term. The moral compass is broken beyond limit and, as he said:

He wants to feel human. He wants it so bad and yet he's ingrained into himself and was even encouraged in more or less known ways that he is not human, from quotes like Demon prodigy to mafia black blood and we could go on.

Even more: Dazai respects Yosano and Fukuzawa. Yosano, who had to deal with Mori, just as he had to. It's quite of a bonding over the trauma, even if different. Fukuzawa is like an actual proper father figure he probably never had and seems to understand him yet trusts him. Fukuzawa gives Dazai a stability he probably never had, not in the proper way.

(as someone who studies the development of people, I can tell you that a kid who's not given stability by the important figures in their life ends up insecure)

We are given hints of him being a womanizer and yet only in the context of commiting double suicide with him. He's rather flirtatious if anything else and with how manipulative he is, he could make someone double suicide with him, but he wants a "clean suicide". I am indeed sure that he is probably a womanizer (yes, Dazai bisexual king in my opinion) and is indulging into such things to feel something other than numb or guilt or hurt.

Because Dazai does feel guilt.

He acts like a clown to entertain people, loves nagging at Kunikida, told Kyouka 35 people are nothing and people not being able to change is bullshit with Oda in his mind.

Dazai is complex and I'm not negating that he's bad. He is bad. He is toxic. He is everything you wanna call him. But he's also a heavily traumatized kid who became an adult and you gotta keep that in mind.

Dazai is relatable in the way most of BSD characters are. He's morally grey at best and the Mafia days haunt him.

Like it or not, Dazai is an amazing and very influential character.

“And in another— in the original world, you and I were friends.”

“Yes, you and I… We were friends.”

percy already has the necklace with no beads in the teaser and now i can’t stop thinking about how we’re going to see him grow up and get all the beads and make friends and create a home and a family in that camp and i can’t stop crying

Fellow Autistics, do you "feel" dirtiness?

Like when you touch something gross (even when there's no residue of it on your hands) & it's like your hand feels a surging sensation until you're able to wash it?

LMAO The life-size Hesh made me laugh 🥺🥺

I want that room 😭😭

(And Hesh's cardboard too, and the savannah the same )

I lost who the credits were from, but I got this from X !!
