Dive into the deep end, but don't forget your floaties!

After another long absence, a new Adventure Time: Fionna & Cake review is finally out.

Might have a new video out in the next few days.

hey elk! just wondering if you’re doing okay after the lack of uploads. you deserve to be happy dude!

I've been doing pretty crappy, unfortunately. Been stuck in a rut where I can't seem to record any audio (that I don't end up deleting right after). Can't offer any video ETAs, but there's a handful of half-finished projects sitting in my hard drive that I'll certainly continue hacking at some day.

She's special because the horns are removable so we can take off the cape.

Made a new saucier thumbnail for an old upload, because this is one of countless ways I procrastinate whilst in the middle of working on new videos.

Hello!!! I watch your videos all the time and my favorite quote of yours is from the Martin's Story video, "Adventure Time is amazing at retconning small minor details and making them retroactively more important." I'm a writer, so I think about this A LOT. i just wanted to ask HOW do you think they do it so well/ WHY do you think it works so well. Thanks so much :)

I'm tired and not gonna revise whatever I manage to write, so I hope my answer makes sense. 😅 I wanna quickly remind folks that retcons do not have to be contradictory in nature - that's not part of the definition. Retcons that are contradictory are pretty universally agreed to be bad retcons by default. So anyway, how I see it is... The Adventure Time world is really open and free, in the sense that its fantasy magic allows for pretty much whatever you want to happen in it. That aspect makes retconning a lot easier and reduces base-level inconsistencies in some cases.

The next one is purely my gut feeling. AT had new writers/storyboarders/etc. join over time while others left (like Penn himself), but it seems like everyone working on the show really loved it, so they put in a lot of extra effort and love when continuing its legacy.

AT has a whole lot of foreshadowing! Having occasional retcons (that aren't contradictory) feels like a non-issue when so many other events have plenty leading up to them.

AT retcons are often used as a means toward following up on established events or characters arcs (for example, Manfried & Crunchy & 'Punchbowl' were retconned as part of a new arc for Princess Bubblegum and to continue the Finn-Fern fiasco). So I guess I'm saying retcons that serve purposes beyond just the retcon itself are more likely to fit well.

Welcome to Adventure Time News

Hello, @j4gm here.

I used to report pretty heavily on the Adventure Time comics and other upcoming media on my main blog, but since Adventure Time ended there hasn't been much coming out. With the announcement of the new line of Oni Press comics and the second season of Fionna and Cake, I want to continue reporting on the franchise!

News updates will now be posted here, on adventure-time-news, instead of on my main blog. The folks who followed me for Adventure Time initially now have a more focused blog to follow if they're not interested in my other ramblings and reblogs :p

You can filter posts by the following tags:

#fionna and cake for everything related to Fionna and Cake.

#crew updates for news about people joining the Fionna and Cake crew and the second season's production.

#crew art for all the storyboard panels, concept art, fan art etc. that gets shared by the crew.

#adventure time ttrpg for news about Adventure Time: The Roleplaying Game.

#multiversus for news about Multiversus.

#prh books for news about merch published by Penguin Random House.

Do you have news about upcoming Adventure Time stuff that I haven't posted about yet? Got a question about Adventure Time? Shoot me an ask or a message!

See ya round!
