#pepper mint

[mayapetersen]

It's been a week since Fionna & Cake Season 2 Episode 1 - The Hare and the Sprout released, so I'm gonna start posting storyboards! Simon's just a sweet old peepaw.

And some rough designs for shippuuden Cadebra, Pep and Blaine! I was pushing for the six stripes for Pep but it was probably a better call to keep it at five.

I've said it many times before, but adding in the rapid-aging aspect to Finn's poison situation was a very smart writing decision due to the way that, like, instead of keeping the audience separated from the emotional state of the characters due to our knowledge of how Finn is 'supposed' to die…

It manages to give us a taste of the genuine dread and uncertainty that the characters are feeling.

And thus also makes us feel a very similar relief when his death is prevented this time.

Of course, another thing that I said a bunch of times is that, like, there aren't many characters confirmed dead in 'Together Again' that are still confirmed alive in the 'Fionna & Cake' Era, but one discrepancy that does make it seem unlikely for 'Together Again' to be the immediate sequel to this season is the status-quo of the Candy Kingdom…

But, up until the last episode I still had that little spark of worry, that some sort of Wacky Adventure Time Shenanigans are gonna make Peppermint Butler the new Princess of the Candy Kingdom before Finn dies…

So it also feels very appropriate that just as Finn's life is saved and we know for sure that he's not gonna die in 'Fionna & Cake', we get this reminder that the world in which Finn will die will come eventually, and the steps leading to it are already set into motion…

A reminder both that, no, the mental struggles he went through since Jake's death will not be singlehandedly cured by Huntress Wizard perfectly…

But that doesn't detract from the value of the healing that was done, that while the grief and the longing will not pass until 'Together Again', he's still doing so much better mentally than he was before.

And also just a reminder that Finn's eventual death is inevitable. He is still a mortal man.

And seeing how most of his loved ones are immortal and are definitely going to outlive him (except Simon), they will all have to face the actual grief of actually losing him eventually. When we've seen so many hints through this season that they will not handle it well.

But still, this little reminder of what's to come is not, like, ominous or sinister, especially considering the rather happy conclusion of 'Together Again'. I'd call it more… Bittersweet?

Random fashion for wizard city kids. Refs and thoughts under the cut

Deb's outfit is based on Innocent World's Merry Go Round JSK in the bodice, and very loosely on Playing Card Gobelin JSK in the skirt. Plus an IW standing collar blouse I regret not getting, and Antaina shoes I own. Playing cards/suits motif + cookie/chocolate to connect to her BFF pep.

Peppermint's is based on Princess Chronicles' Night Prelude long vest/corset with styling inspired by perusing ouji model photos. I almost did jirai kei but I didn't think he would be the type to wear a skirt and I feel that ouji marries the goth + butler very well lol.

Blaine's outfit is based on the heavy layering and long skirts with sneakers I see a lot of voice actresses wear in Japan. Plus the crossbody bag they had on in some F&C concept art by Maya Petersen and similar sneakers they were wearing in F&C because they look cool. I think they look good in cool-casual clothes with an emphasis on trendy accessories.

Larry (Petersen? Idk but his last name is P. to me) got big and he's carrying on Spader's legacy by becoming the new red jacket wearing cool popular teen in town. Big selvedge jeans and a customized sateen bomber jacket, plus keeping the cool shoes going. But whereas Spader's outfits had a slimmer silhouette w/ skinny jeans, Larry's style is baggier and his shoes are more athletic than Spader's.

Hello, do you perhaps have any cadebra crumbs? Or doodles of other/side characters! I really love the way you draw AT characters 😞😞

Cadebra good

Making peppermint extract to make candy with!

I looked up how to make it, and you cut up peppermint leaves, put them in a jar, cover with spirit alcohol, close the jar and leave in a dark place for 6 months! I had this pepper mint invading my garden so I let it grow for this purpose.

I know that seems like a long wait but 6 months will pass anyway and this way I'll have peppermint extract for Halloween. When I first read the instructions I thought, isn't this how you make a tincture? And its NOT. It takes 2 weeks to get a tincture, and you start with dry leaves and have to flip the jar twice every day. Maybe I'll dry some and try for a tincture too, its good for digestion issues.
