its bonkers

nuff said. bonkers. on the daily.

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…

if you never experienced the sensation of After School Poops did you even go to public school.

[thrasherbonk-blog]

my friend just got arrested

ok that’s a loaded statement. let me explain:

so me and my gang of upper middle class white kids were on our way to our schools football game when a friend (Frosty) from another school texted our groupchat saying “yo Blake just ruined his LIFE”. so Frosty goes to a christian school so we all assumed this guy Blake (who we know thru Frosty) like, threw a pencil at his teacher and got suspended. anyway so we were like ‘tell us later we goin to a football game’. anyway so we didn’t think anything about it and then the next day we hop on the Discord and when Frosty jumps on, all 15 of us are like “ok ok what’s Blake do” and there’s silence for a couple seconds.

“he stole a boat”

the chat goes boo boo nuts like what the fuck Frosty What The Fuck. and he’s like “he committed grand theft aut- *sigh* okay so Blake, Vance, and Michael [who we also know thru Frosty] found a boat on craigslist and then took Vance’s car and just took it. snatched it. for like, a week, they repainted and sanded it and then *wheeze* put it back on craigslist. “

the chat is hysterical

“so this dudes like, ‘where’s me boat’, and he sees it on craigslist and is like, ‘that’s me boat’ and then opens their dms and is like, ‘i wanna buy this boat’. and they show up to sell it and like, the SWAT team is chillin. anyway so they got arrested and they been kicked from school”

Frosty it’s 4 in the goddamn morning Fuck.
