a confession i have to make is that i periodically get a boomerang subscription and periodically cancel it despite having access to pretty good illegal toon sites because every time i cancel it they send me emails with pictures of the characters crying and depressed talking about how sad they are and how they’ll miss me and it makes me laugh so hard the ten bucks or whatever is worth it
adventure time lore is insane. it starts off just being a goofy kids show that has magic for no reason, but then you learn that all magic users are manic and/or depressed (what betty calls sadness and madness). because it turns out magic is actually a cosmic force beyond mortal comprehension, that itself was learned from cosmic entities that predated the existence of time itself inside a sea of monsters. and “magic” really is just understanding more about the nature of the universe than most people. that, in a way, reality isnt “real” and understanding that allows you to mold it. and thats magic. but that drives you to insanity and/or apathy. and there are beings who hold significant cosmic importance who are more prone to magic. and the reason magic became prevalent on earth is because of a nuclear war a thousand years ago, which released the entity that represents the destruction of all life onto the world. and after a nuclear apocalypse this gave way to a new earth, where magic could thrive. but a lot of the beings we see arent even magical, theyre just mutants from what happened 1000 years ago. and humanity as we know it has been all but wiped out. but everything stays the same because cycles of war and violence continue. and it doesnt matter if its nukes or magic. everything stays the same, but still changes.
bwhat?
how do the stretchy yellow dog and princess made of candy figure into this
so the stretchy yellow dog believed his powers to be magic, while the princess suggest that it’s actually just a mutation. neither of these are true, what actually happened was that his dad got infected with alien eggs and gave birth to him out of his head which makes him half alien half dog and thats where the powers come from. this isnt revealed until way later on and his alien dad eventually comes back into the fold to give him an identity crisis.
the princess made out of candy actually is sort of a mutant. she was born from a giant mutated wad of gum called the “mother gum”- it came into creation during the war from the radiation and such. its a bunch of separate sentient wads of gum all attached to each other, PB just ended up being the first one to drop off from it and gain independence (along with her brother neddy). she eventually grew to be more humanoid, and as a little girl she began to crave community and family (like how things were with everyone in the mother gum). she’s also a genius who loves to play god, so she decided to just Make Her Own Family by frankensteining some other wads of gum. she lived happily and created a small community with them, though they eventually decided to try to overthrow her (keep in mind, she was still a little girl) by basically drugging her with “dumb dumb juice” which would make her more subservient. it didnt work. instead they got dosed with it, and got turned into different types of candy. they became the first citizens of her kingdom. from that point on as she “grew up” (loose term bc shes functionally immortal) she would grow her kingdom too. she would be absolutely ruthless about this of course. like a true mad scientist, she doesnt care about ethics, she cares about results. she would do anything it takes to keep her kingdom safe. including war crimes. no, im dead serious, she’s violated the geneva convention sooo much. she spies on not only her citizens, but other kingdoms too, and will absolutely resort to sabotage. she’s obsessed with keeping order and control. so she keeps her citizens (life that she created) intentionally dumb too. she creates life as science experiments and then discards it (goliad, lemongrab, etc.). characters will straight up call her a dictator. shes NOT a good person but shes quirky about it i guess. shes not morally gray shes morally pink
WOW I SURE LOVE MY DASHBOARD BEING COVERED UP WHENEVER I GO TO CHECK MY NOTES!!!!!!!! IF ONLY THERE WAS A BIG EMPTY SPACE FOR IT TO BE ON!!!!!!!!
tell me @staff what purpose does it serve splitting up account info and placing the halves on either side of the screen. Don’t you see how stupid this looks? Did you guys not study graphic design or any kind of design??? this looks and acts horrendous
The new layout it a whole mess. Thankfully Xkit can already help with a bunch of this! I’m sure it’ll give more options soon.
Vanilla Tumblr: (I have marked in red what can be removed. The tabs can be set not to stick, so you will really only see them at the top of your dash. Empty box on the left for hidden notifications and shop sparkle, i just didn’t have any. I’m EU so no Live for me).
Shoutout to the hackberry tree in our back yard that we think is dead every single spring because it puts out leaves like 3 weeks later than every other hackberry in the area but then later in the summer it’s always literally fine
Good evening to the next door neighbor’s American sycamore that they bought a lil over 25 years ago as just a stick, which is now like 70 feet tall and extends its branches vastly wide and made sycamore seedlings in every pot and flower bed I have.
She is one of the formative trees of my childhood. I remember, before the neighbors built the fence, sitting underneath her branches in a light rain and staying completely dry because of the protection of her huge leaves
Miss you, grove of black walnut trees that grew behind the hundred year old farm house where I lived as a kid. Last year I tore off a leaf from a tree that grows at the place where the road changes to gravel cut off by a cattle gate, and the smell brought the memory rushing back.
