Can we get your thoughts on the latest episode! 🩷
Bold of you to assume a single thought has ever crossed my mind, but I'll do my best...
Overall I thought Thursday's episode was very, very enjoyable. I was guarded because I totally thought we were about to get a good old cat fight episode between Fionna and Fennel, but god damn did I love where they went with the gals. I was BOPPIN' to that Venus song, instant banger, and the absolute yurifest it turned into wasn't on my bingo card but hahahaha I was definitely here for it!
I really thought it was going to end with the girls happening upon Flame once sober, him getting immediately embarrassed/excited at the idea of a double F threeway now that they get along, and them both telling him to FUCK OFF before prancing away together into the sunset... holding hands. I mean, honestly! Not showing up for Fionna was one thing, but Fennel was at home worried sick sobbing her eyes out! Does he do that to her often? I'm not going to say he's a bad person, but clearly the only relationship he has time for in his life is with his work.
Outside of the adorableness of the double F adventure which I loved every part of, we got the parallel of the Hunter/ess duo which was so enjoyable. I wanted to eat Hunter's smug lil face up. The way Huntress just said "... I am a plant." expecting him to offer to help, and him holding out to force her to ask was so delicious hahahah say what you will about the poor boy's gender, he's got a pair of acorns on him. I can't believe she didn't lay him out flat again.
Obviously I'm sad we didn't get any Huntbunny interaction this episode, and I really wish we at least got a brief glimpse of Finn, but it was worth it for what we did get. I haven't been shy that I'm not crazy about the Fionnaworld plot of this fundraiser... as far as the new problem they're setting up for the next episode, I.E. Marshall being upset, perhaps I'm just too pragmatic but baby, the fundraiser isn't about you going on stage and confronting your mom with the power of music... it's about saving your twink's livelihood.
I understand it's an uncomfortable and embarrassing and messy situation for him as a whole, but why he can't sit this one out is beyond me. I actually thought Fionna's reaction was totally reasonable and probably what I'd say myself hahahahaha they went to HER for help with the fundraiser! She is bending over beyond backwards to make it happen and a success (including making deals with the devil), and I don't think the Gumlee squad is very grateful, but as I'm not sympathetic to their cause at baseline perhaps don't take my opinion with any weight.
Overall, I had a really difficult week IRL. It's hard to remain so fabulous when life is beating you down, so watching the new episode with my friend was so therapeutic that even if it was 20 mins of Fionna sleeping I'd probably declare it was a masterpiece. Thank you for asking, and I really hope you enjoyed it as well, my anonymous friend.
