#Escape from the Citadel

[clarity2electricboogaloo]

What the FUCK do you mean the weird baby thing I saw in adventure time episodes years ago was the lich

WHAT DO YOU MEAN??

[adventuretimetournament]

Escape from the Citadel: As the Lich frees the prisoners from the Citadel in order to create an army, Finn finds that meeting his biological father is more than underwhelming.

Joshua and Margaret Investigations: When Joshua is poisoned by a strange beast, it's up to the pregnant Margaret to concoct an antivenom.

Day in Fandom History: April 21…

Finn and Jake follow the Lich to the Citadel after killing off Prismo, which is a huge cosmic crime, where Finn meets his long-lost dad but how far does the apple fall from the tree? “Escape from the Citadel” premiered on this day, 10 Years Ago.

so I had a lil idea 

[deanpinterester]

as much as ppl like to meme on how fury road's plot is just "they drive across the desert and drive back" i think the simplicity is what made it work so well and gave it room to be a high octane over-the-top action movie. when i watch furiosa and see how much intricate backstory they're trying to fit into it i just can't help but realize how much that attempt at intricacy made the movie's pacing and structure very wonky

FALL. You are alone, child. There is only darkness for you, and only death for your people. These ancients are just the beginning. I will command a great and terrible army, we will sail to a billion worlds. We will sail until every light has been extinguished. You are strong, child. But i am beyond strength. I AM THE END AND I HAVE COME FOR YOU, FINN.

decided to look up some stuff about wilfrid voynich, of the manuscript, and finding a weird little book might actually be the least interesting thing about him

[timeconqueror]

Like the thing that's going to skew the whole thing to one side or the other is like

This has all been HWR's plan, right. But is he doing the plan to actually let the Multiverse be free, or let 'himself' be free, or is it a long-winded way of him bucking the responsibility of dealing with Kangs to God of Stories so he can just retire on a distant moon somewhere?

finn meeting martin for the first time and being so hungry for catharsis. thinks if anyone could give him relief, it would be his father who abandoned him years ago. and how finn’s unrecognizable even to him.

read this little article from 2017 and dear god the list of banned adventure time episodes is insane

[hunsa-jars]

Been binge watching Adventure Time (currently at season 3 ep 14) and aside from having the best time with it, it's kinda cool to see every episode without em being censored

Like

I'm really attached to the dub I grew up with, but a bunch of things were cut out, censored or the episode was straight banned after a while

Victims of the cut outs:

Body horror (for example the Magic Man turning a bird inside out in ep 20 Freak City)

Some instances of barfing

Spitting (for example Finn spitting on Tiffany in My Two Favorite People or Marceline spitting on PB in What Was Missing)

Some scenes of minor violence??

The word sexy (they say it a surprising amount of times)

Some close ups on grotesque faces

The Jake and Death kiss in Death in Bloom-

[milo-is-rambling]

Deep thoughts about rick and morty will forever be wormed into the middle of my brain

[adventuretimetournament]

Memory of a Memory: A wizard asks Finn and Jake to enter Marceline's memory in order to undo a sleep spell.

Escape from the Citadel: As the Lich frees the prisoners from the Citadel in order to create an army, Finn finds that meeting his biological father is more than underwhelming.

Here I am, hours later, still crying about Furiosa and Praetorian Jack. George Miller, Nico Lathouris, Anya Taylor-Joy and Tom Burke are geniuses. They completely sold me on just how much these characters loved each other.

Furiosa coming out of a nightmare, wielding a knife, to be caught by Jack. He doesn’t say it’s all right or that she’s safe, she doesn’t say it was just a bad dream. They don’t say anything. Jack eases her back down to her cot and they settle down, aware of each other.

Jack stitching up Furiosa’s shoulder in a hidden spot in the Citadel, Furiosa showing Jack the peach seed that she’s kept hidden in her hair for so long, proving that the Green Place is out there, asking him to come with her, pressing her forehead to his while cupping the back of his head, showing him her love in the manner of her people, and him returning the gesture. After fifteen years, she’s finally going home, and he’s coming with her.

And then...

Spoilers beyond here!!!

And then:

The battle of the Bullet Farm, which is where the strength and force of their love really started to batter me. Furiosa manages to avoid the ambush and get out of the Farm before the gate closes, and Jack could easily have slipped through the gate to join her, but he sees the enemy forces mustering and knows they’ll quickly be hunted down if there's nothing to stop their pursuers. He shoots off a green flare that clearly tells Furiosa to abandon him and get the hell out of there, intending to sacrifice himself so that she has a chance to escape and set off for the Green Place. Furiosa does drive off, but gets maybe five metres before she decides ‘fuck this’ and goes back in to try and save him. And she saves him from his pursuers and she saves him from falling to his death, and they get to their escape vehicle and drive off, with nary a word spoken or exchanged until they’re on the flat and heading for freedom. And even then, all that’s mentioned is what direction they should take to reach the Green Place. That's it. They don’t need anything else. They survived, they got out, they're together, they’re going to be all right.

And they almost make it. They almost get away.

When they’re captured by Dementus and forced onto their knees, there’s no special close up on them; mostly they’re on the edge of the shot while Dementus is ranting centre stage or screaming into their faces. They pay no heed to him. That love infuriates Dementus. He shrieks, he tears at them, but he can’t break them. He doesn’t matter. What matters is that they spend their last moments touching each other, leaning into each other, pressing their foreheads together, breathing deep, loving each other.

There are no parting words between Furiosa and Jack, no declarations or promises or screams of despair, but it hit me so hard and cut so deep that the second to last time we see Jack’s face, he’s craning desperately to see what’s happening to Furiosa, trying to get one final precious glimpse of her, before he’s quite literally dragged to his awful death.

We don’t see Furiosa’s reaction to her torture on multiple fronts, as she is strung up by her maimed arm and forced to watch Jack die. We’ve seen her scream and weep for her mother, but this moment is hers alone. It’s not for us.

How fitting it is that Jack saves Furiosa one last time, as his execution distracts Dementus and his crew from noticing that Furiosa has cut off her own arm to escape.

The last time we see Jack’s face is in Furiosa’s last nightmare.

Furiosa doesn’t mention Jack in her final showdown with Dementus, when she screams about her mother and her stolen childhood. But from what’s shown to us, I think that the spot in the Citadel when she imprisons Dementus and grows the peach tree in the midst of his emaciated, maggot-ridden body…is the same place where Jack stitched up her wounded shoulder, where she showed him the peach seed, where she asked him to come with her to the Green Place and he accepted, where she showed him her love in the manner of her people, where they embraced. Where she avenged herself and Jack, upon the man who destroyed their lives.

Where Furiosa now plucks the first fruit of the tree to bring to the Five Wives, whom she will bring with her to the Green Place.
