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.

One detail I think is rather interesting is how I feel like Huntress Wizard and Simon are shown having rather contrasting approaches/mentalities in how they try to help Finn.

When Huntress Wizard finds Finn injured, she immediately takes him back to her place to try and help him all by herself. The only reason she even seeks out Simon is after learning that he can give her information on what happened to Finn. And after learning that information, HW does not bother to tell Simon anything apart from ‘forget everything you just heard’ and immediately charges off to the Heart of the Forest with what was clearly only a barely-thought-out plan to help Finn.

On the other hand, Simon promptly ignores what HW told him and enlists Pep and his other students to find any information on the Heart that could help Finn while also calling Princess Bubblegum and Marceline for further help. With the former immediately sending the Banana Guard to get Finn to the Candy Kingdom where she will be clearly devoting everything she can to help Finn.

I think the contrast here is pretty clear: Huntress Wizard is laser-focused on trying to help Finn all by herself and apparently not even thinking of asking for help. Simon meanwhile IMMEDIATELY tries to get all the help he can, reaching out to all of Finn’s other close friends, who in turn immediately start doing everything they can to help.

Heck, going off these first two episodes I get the sense that Huntress Wizard has never really become part of Finn’s close circle of longtime friends? At the beginning of episode 1 we learn that PB and Marcie didn’t even know that Finn and HW were ‘on again’, and that Marceline doesn’t have HW’s number. And later, Huntress Wizard needing a moment to clarify the ‘Simon’ that Finn is talking about feels like a pretty good indicator that she and Simon aren’t on any kind of first-name acquaintance. Basically, I think Huntress Wizard only really knows ANY of Finn’s other friends through Finn and has never become any kind of friends with any of them herself. Which certainly lines up with everything we’ve seen of her. Again, even her relationship with Finn has only ever been a pretty casual, on-and-off fling.

And given how Huntress Wizard’s clearly half-assed plan to charge off to help Finn all on her own completely, and quite literally, blows up in her face, combined with the parallels Fionna’s arc we see in the same episode, I feel like this could all be implying something rather interesting:

Given the very clear developing theme of ‘Needing to learn how to accept help from others’, what if it’s ultimately NOT Huntress Wizard who saves Finn, but instead the combined efforts of Simon, Pep, Princess Bubblegum and Marceline, plus any number of Finn’s other close friends? Just look at Simon’s reassurance to Fionna at the end of the episode; “He’s got a lot of people pulling for him”, not to mention Fionna’s rather unsettlingly projecting question of “What if they give up on him?” combined with what she later tells Baby Finn. It all gives the impression that Simon knows what he’s doing while Fionna has a lot of personal misconceptions to work though.

And let’s further consider the fact that it was this very conversation with Simon that inadvertently drew Huntress Wizard TO Fionna. Someone who right now seems to need just as much help as Finn does with a deeply ingrained belief that her friends wants and needs are what matter and what she wants doesn’t matter at all. The difference being that unlike Finn, Fionna’s own close circle of friends DON’T know that she needs help, and Fionna is clearly never going to be asking them for any. Meaning that Fionna probably could use help from someone with the same kind of dogged determination that Huntress Wizard has shown towards trying to help Finn, misguided it may have been.

So what if it’s not Finn who Huntress Wizard ends up saving by the end of the season, but instead FIONNA?

Both by helping her with her personal self-worth issues and maybe giving her a replacement arm, and who knows what else.

(and yes, I definitely consider this to be Fionntress foreshadowing XD)
