[heartlurch]

hey, I dont really use Tumblr that much but, I wanted to say that i fell in love with your at ( 2019/2020 ) drawings, i navigated through your pixiv and really liked them :) by any chance, are you still into adventure time? really wanna see more of your finncest pieces, or maybe hc drops bout 'em /nf

Glad my art has been enjoyable for years...! At this point, I've got so many 'eras', it pleases me to think people can revisit specific time periods of my work and still feel strongly about it, even if long since past... Art is amazing, isn't it? ( °ヮ° )

I am still into Adventure Time, yes. 100% truth!! Amusingly enough... recently, me and my wife have been rewatching the series from the start! We're currently on season 5 of our rewatch. Amazing how many episodes still hold strong for me, a delight from start to finish.... I get so nostalgic with the memories of what it felt like watching episodes for the first time, my earnest reactions, and what still holds true... and what emotions have evolved over time.

In a way, I feel like I can't emphasize enough how often me and my wife rewatch AT, and parrot lines at each other. We have a kind of obsessive memorization of the series... The whimsy of the world building still feels unique, inspiring... When there is a long pan across, The Land of the Dead, or the Nightosphere, it is incredible, how much there is to observe, there's so many microcosms of circumstance, many strange magics, creatures... I like how often you can suddenly be presented with a concept mid episode that is jarring, disorienting, and also quickly brushed past -- simply another aspect of Ooo... The characters accept so much as Simply the way it Is. So you're immersed into the wordless acceptance of crazy stuff. And uhh, frankly we enjoy even the sillier things lol, like it's just so AT when you are meeting a guy named The Farm and he's got a barn for a body and deposits barn animals mysteriously from his body. It's good back to back with the more haunting things, like the Lub-glubs in Beautopia...

That's all the broad appreciation... More specifically, we love FINN so very much, he is the perfect boy lol, amazing protagonist. I do not think we could love AT so much if it weren't for Finn being incredibly charming. Love watching him in his naivety in early series, voice cracking shrieky boy, and him mellowing out a bit as he goes through things... But never really losing the edge of, passion, instability, just is a thoughtful learned boy via experience. Dumb as a brick often enough too... kawaii.

I think I will always have an appreciation for AT as a result...

(I want to be mostly positive so I won't linger on this, but I should mention that my heart mostly lies with early AT, esp S1-3... Absolute favorites. I feel less about late AT, because it kind of loses what loved about its direction originally. I didn't like the finale... and I refuse to engage with any of the spinoff material. I feel like that's important to know... Er, just for clarification. I don't want 'I like AT' to be extrapolated as liking the Other Stuff. Because I Do Not.)

.... *smiles placidly* but uhh I do not really have any more art or HCs for FinnFern, I pretty much Got everything out that I wanted to, back in 2017-2018. Like uahh, everything in my pixiv stacks & posted on my AT blog, was all I had inside me for FinnFern. It was a stimulating ship at the time, but ultimately not my main interest... Selfcest tends to be like that for me. >>; Sometimes I play in the space, buut for Fern I found myself really saddened by his arc & unsatisfied by canon. So in the end I wish he could assimilate back into Finn, or, ideally, never come to exist in the first place... He is a Finn, so I wish he could live the Finn Life, without having to be bisected like that...

I believe the last romp I had with Fern, was conceptualizing him bonding with Marceline, and then having a kind of 3way dynamic in Finn/Marcy/Fern. Which was very fun and I still enjoyed. Though I haven't revisited that eitherrrr...

Ultimately, my heart lies with muh OTP that I've shipped since 2011, FinnMarcy...~ And their episodes are my absolute favs....~ Marceline is my Other ultimate perfect favorite character, playful bully girl, immature, displaced... tragic, unstable as well! Aching form abandonment... I love her interplay with Finn the mooooost... You get episodes as lovely as It Came From the Nightosphere, and as silly as Marceline's Closet... and, early series tomfoolery suchas Henchman. Go With Me man...... It still hits...... So my modern day rumination, new HCs and such, are for those two ww... *trails off...*

So-!!!!! I have no followups to FinnFern... and I do not think I will ever revisit it, but I still like the work me & my wife did for it back then... I hope that simply pouring over it is enough for everyone. (´･ω･`)

I played these games with my sister (she's never played before now) and I got SO FRUSTRATED with her bc she liked louis in ep1 but then got pissed at him when he was mad at aj for killing marlon 💀she brushed off when I explain it to her but she didn't forgive him and let him get captured... it makes me sad that people still don't bother to care about what he went threw with marlons death. let him fucking grieve GOD...

Oof, I'm sorry, anon. It is frustrating. Hell, remember when ep2 first dropped and so many people were butthurt and pissy that Louis was upset? At least there were a ton of people out here defending him and trying to help explain why he behaves that way.

It's kinda funny though that there are still people in the community who dismiss him in ep2. Not nearly as many as when the ep first dropped obviously, but I still come across posts and comments about it.

Like when I snoop around on reddit [because apparently I just never learn] there'll be posts where this gets brought up and you see shit like "Louis was a dick and he betrayed us!" and other various things of equal dingus quality. I assume at this point it's either new people saying this or people who willfully ignore the Louis side of things.

Like yes, random reddit dingus, I'm aware that Marlon wasn't the best guy around. We all know that he gave the twins away and murdered Brody, we were all there. But this whole idea of "Louis should just get over it because Marlon sucks and Clementine is perfect" is dumb?

It's like when people go back to S1 when Lilly lost her father. Yeah, Larry's a piece of shit and no one liked him, but he was Lilly's father and she loved him even though he treated her bad, and watching Kenny smash his face in was traumatizing? it fucked her up pretty good? and stuck with her and is a major factor in why she became terrible in tfs? and like....... No, Lilly, don't you get it?

Larry was garbage, so you should just get over his death. Why can't you just get over it Lilly, he was only your abusive father who treated everyone like shit, including you. Who cares if he was the only family you had left and your relationship was way more complicated than what we're initially left to believe. He was a terrible person, therefore your feelings about his death are completely invalid and Kenny was right all along.

And yeah, I know it's a little hmmm to use Lilly as an example due to what they did to her character in tfs but you get me.

because Marlon sucks and Clem can do no wrong, Louis' feelings and grief are invalid and he sucks too........... but like no.

Marlon was Louis' best friend for 8+ years. Louis had complete faith in Marlon, and blindly trusted him. He was heartbroken when he found out what Marlon did to the twins and Brody. He didn't wanna believe it. I mean, would you? Your best friend gets accused of murder and giving away the twins to become soldiers for some raiders, and is now threatening to kill your new friend? You wanna believe him because you don't want to believe he could do these things. It's a lot, and I don't doubt that Louis was overwhelmed with all this information and what was happening before him.

But when Clementine appeals to him, Louis gathers all the strength he has to step between them and try to solve this peacefully, to deescalate the situation because yeah, what Marlon did was fucked up and Louis isn't trying to excuse that? He's not trying to justify anything?

But then AJ murders him, and Louis witnesses the whole thing. I don't know about you, but that would fuck me up pretty good. He has every right to be upset and want both AJ and Clem the hell away from him.

God, and then the damn funeral.... yeah, great idea, bring Clementine and AJ to the funeral, that probably won't cause any issues, yep.

Honestly, I don't blame Louis for leaving when AJ starts talking about wanting to atone [or if you said he's justified, but like why would you?]. He's not thinking rationally, he's grieving, he's acting this way because he's hurting.... but hell, he doesn't even have time to properly do that. It's not like Marlon died and then he had weeks or months or years to work through that before the raiders came pounding at their doors.

Plus, he's got Violet constantly invalidating his feelings and grief because "fuck Marlon just get over yourself Louis you can be such a shithead" and the others probably aren't helping him much given how he's viewed and treated, and he can't talk to Clementine because things are still uncomfortable there...... so he's by himself coming to terms with everything.

Throw in his guilt over AJ getting shot and well..... it's not great.

But no.... Louis should just get over it. Marlon was a liar and a murderer and that means everything you had with him in the past 8 years doesn't count so..... get over yourself, Louis.

I cannot roll my eyes any harder.

Sidenote, but if you look through some of these people's other posts, they'll comment about how Luke didn't react to Nick's death in S2 and how bullshit that was, or how Clementine's behavior in ANF was understandable and we give her a rough time, or how Violet's grief over losing the twins or being captured is often misinterpreted and we should be more open and empathetic with her...

Now I'm not saying that these people only use certain arguments when it helps the case they're trying to make and ignore these same things when it comes to characters they don't like..... all I'm saying is that it's a little funny that you got what you asked for, but since it happened to come from Louis, you suddenly change your mind and decide he reacted TOO MUCH to Marlon's death and was just too mean to Clem and AJ.
