su stans: but th characters being off model is intentional uwuwu its a stylistic choise uwuwu it gives storyboarders th freedom to use their own styles uwuwu who cares if connie suddenly has a big head or if lapis grew 3 feet in between scenes uwuwu
mmmmnn martin & finn’s characters are just. really interesting to me tbh heres me rambling a bunch
martin always pushes his problems away and never looks back? found his long lost son? just escape the citadel. dooming a whole species in The Visitor? gotta build this rocket. nope. bye. see ya (x)
but then finn realizes this, gets mad at him about it and launches him into space, but it doesn’t really leave him unscathed because now when he messes up he thinks, shit, i’m selfish like my dad
but he’s really not like his dad, because finn was Literally offered the choice to escape all his troubles and burdens and finn accepted that he couldn’t run away from everything and decided to accept everything in his life, the good and the bad, while his dad just. chose to fling himself off their plane of existence
(and semi unrelated but finn Does know how to face his mistakes and apologize for them, Bun Bun was a great episode)
the really fun thing i like is that when he realizes this, finn tries to use it to help others (helper genes hell yeah!!) and tells the other humans in the islands that it’s okay to feel pain, it’s okay to have troubles in your life and face them with everything else. (like frieda believed in, i guess. there’s more to life than just pure happiness, and that’s okay, that’s what makes it great)
it’s something martin could never do, it’s something finn learned to embrace, and it’s really fun to watch and god i love adventure time good fucking BYE
edit: semi unrelated too but finn and minnie’s dynamic is also pretty cool bc while finn learns to balance the good and the bad minnie doesn’t take problems very well either
she throws herself away (literally) into her Helper work and insists finn stays at the islands so he’ll never be hurt again
so, anyway, finn is great, and i rly love AT’s take on the Life’s A Big Grey Mess moral
I was working as a freelance contractor, fixing up care
homes for a while. It was a cash-in-hand sort of job and people always wanted
to get away as cheap as they could. One particular job took the cake!
Me: A job of this magnitude will cost you about
£XXXX.
Client: I’ve worked construction my whole life. I
know this won’t cost more than £300 in materials. What do you want for just the
labor? I’ll pay the materials!
Me: I want £XXXX [a third of my original quote] for labor, but unless you have the same kind of contacts I do, you won’t get
away cheaper if you buy materials yourself.
Client: Nonsense. I’ll pay you £XXXX (£400 under my
lowest quote). I bet I won’t even spend £300!
Me: Ok, but I want £200 deposit.
Client: I don’t have more than £200 on me right now.
You’ll have to wait until Monday for the deposit. Use these 200 today for
materials!
I had traveled across
the country for this job and already spent £50 on travel just for the quote, so
I begrudgingly accepted what I thought was a 4 day job, starting over the
weekend and ending on the Tuesday.
Monday comes, and the
client takes me to buy more materials.
Client: Well, this cost more than I thought. I don’t
have that much cash on me, it all went to materials.
At this point we had
spent more than £1000 on materials, and weren’t even halfway there. Because the
client insisted on only bringing £1000 at a time, we could only get so much
materials each day, and had to work on a day-to-day basis with what we got. At
the end, we spent 8 days working that job, because the materials kept trickling
in, instead of getting it all at once. I finish up and head home, leaving an
invoice on the client’s desk along with all receipts. A week later I call to see
why I hadn’t gotten paid yet (and this includes the deposit).
Client: Well, you took twice as long as you said you
would and the materials cost more than 10 times what we agreed on, so I’m not
going to pay you.
This is why I’m no
longer working as a freelance contractor!
once upon a time young young teenage me used to write fan fiction like my life depended on it, new fics every week and I had no idea there was someone out there printing out my fics and putting them in a box to read when they needed something to cheer them up
anyways fast forward to 20 year old me on my third date with Emily and she mentions offhand that she’s got this box of fic she printed out and saved
it’s a few months later after that and she shows me one of the fics in the box and holy shit that’s my garbage fic from so long ago
anyways my point is life is a fucking trip my dude
i still remember when we found this out. i don’t think either of us stopped yelling for hours
look it’s been eight years and I’m still like LMAO I MARRIED A FAN
This is the cutest thing I’ve ever read in my whole life
