#their universe is literally prismo’s fanfic

I think it’s fitting and hilarious that Fionna and Cake, two characters essentially created for a fanfic, love fanfic tropes

Some bits I deemed important from the Fionna and Cake section of the art book!
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
The season 6 model definitely looks better than season 3! I think in general the proportions are a lot nicer.
And then there's also a whole mini-scrip that was Pen and Natasha's original working of their first apperance! There were a lot of blacked out swear words, which is kinda interesting? I'm not really sure if there's a reason for that, none is given in the book itself. It plays out similarly to the actually aired episode, except Fionna rescues a guy named Prince Perfect from a slime monster. Other than the obvious, some other changes were Marshal Lee and Prince Bubblegum (Prince Lollipop at the time) were kinda just. trying to get PP to snap which is pretty funny. If you all want, I'll make a second post with pictures of that!
<-->
Now for the stuff regarding the issues regarding Fionna and Cake and why I think the miniseries will be able to handle them a lot better!
Genderswapping and it's relation to gender stereotypes is a genuine issue!! Having Fionna and Cake be based on that is frustrating, but considering how long ago their first apperance was I feel like we can safely assume (I hope?) that what Natasha and all of the people working on the miniseries have different views on the concept of gender and the identities that come with it! Plus, considering that we'll have a lot more general time to flesh out this new world as well as let Fionna and Cake separate their personalities from these stereotypes.
Regarding Ice King being the sort of in-universe creator of the two, that isn't exactly the case either! There was literally a whole weird episode that ended up with the conclusion that yeah, they actually exist in another world and their adventures are beamed into Ice King's dreams! No idea why still, I don't think we ever get an explanation for that but whatever. I highly doubt Simon would be writing about them either, he's definitely separate from Ice King at this point and honestly he doesn't really strike me as a guy who would be Like That. If anything, he's most likely going to find Fionna and Cake's realm through a good ol' Prismo Time Wish, not some weird self-insert fanfic adventure
Plus, we can't forget that AT hasn't disappointed us with the Distant Lands series! Considering all the wiggle room they got for relationships and such, there is no reason for them to change Fionna and Cake for the better! I genuinely trust the AT team to fix their past mistakes, and I trust the miniseries to be good!
TLDR- I go on a tired ramble about why I trust the AT team to fix the issues regarding gender swapping and generally make the miniseries not weird!
(Sorry for making this so messy, I haven't really written big opinion posts much? If you have anything to say that contradicts me, I'm glad to see it! Gender and the issue with stereotypes in characters is interesting, plus I find it awfully important to know if I'm coming off as rude!)

Nobody did the DVD fic commentary meme, but if I want to talk about my writing, I’m just going to do it. So... It's time for some DVD Fic Commentary That Nobody Asked For! (confetti)
I'd like to start with What Could Go Wrong/Run, an Adventure Time fanfic set in the Reverseworld AU created by fridjitzu and coffee-elemental. Reverseworld is an AU I really love that swaps Finn and Simon's roles, so Finn's an ancient, mentally ill ice wizard, and Simon is a teen hero in a post-apocalyptic fantasy land. I love reverse Simon a lot. He’s a nerd.
I've got a whole series of stories based on episodes, and this one is based on the two part season six opener, Wake Up/Escape From the Citadel. I got excited about this as soon as the episode aired, but I wanted to wait and see where the show was going, and find out was up with Finn's dad. I’d hoped to get a bit of backstory when The Visitor aired, but when there turned out not to be much there, I just went ahead and wrote the fic.
Holly (fridjitzu) told me that the parent in the Citadel is Simon’s mother, Petra, and that she has a history with Simon’s awful ex-mentor, O’Malley, who is also there because he crashed Prismo’s party. So that’s what I put in the story. Otherwise it’s pretty similar to the episodes. But with different characters. Also there’s a penguin. And Simon’s magical augmentation that gets ripped out of him is in his chest.
Actually, Prismo is supposed to be the same character as in canon, which is why a lot of his dialogue is the same. Old Man Prismo’s dialogue is a little different to canon, because he is a different person. Prismo is synchronised with his alternate selves, but his waking self is not? I don’t know. The Lich also says a lot of the same things as canon, but he is supposed to be a different character. He just cares so little about things that aren’t him destroying all life in the universe that the differences in the AU barely affect his dialogue at all.
Here is an annotated excerpt:
Simon jumped to his feet as soon as they hit land and looked around for the Lich. He couldn't see it,
I usually have reverse Simon refer to the Lich as "it", because I did that inconsistently in the first fic I wrote, and decided to go with him preferring to refer to monsters as its. This is, of course, canon ever since the Ice King called Bella Noche an it in the episode Betty. (No)
but he could see the reason the Guardian had fell. There was a battle going on. All the greyified prisoners were attacking the Guardians. It was hard to tell, but Simon was hoping that the Guardians were winning.
Maybe it would have been easier to tell who was winning if I'd bothered to describe the battle at all. I've been trying to do better at that lately.
Also, “had fell”? That’s not the right verb form to use in this register. How did that sneak through?
He had to go help, but he needed a better understanding of the situation. And he didn't want to leave his mom.
This is more about her safety than being annoyed at her, but there’s a bit of both there.
"Simon," said Gunter. He looked a bit smaller than usual.
Probably literally, because he can change his size, but I never specified.
He opened and closed his beak a couple of times, then just said "This is bad."
I wanted to write better dialogue, but I was distracted by how good "Just promise me, if both my eyeballs get fried off, you'll fry yours off too" was in the episode. So instead he’s just speechless.
"It'll be okay," said Simon.
Gunter says the same thing to Simon at the end of the story. In universe that’s a callback to this bit, but out of universe it’s because Jake says it to Finn after Finn loses his arm.
Just as soon as they figured out what they could do about it. They could run away, probably taking the unmelted crystal chunk that some of the grey criminals had started swarming over,
Why are they swarming over it? What are they doing? What does Simon intend to do with it? Aren’t they on an unmelted crystal chunk right now? Explain, past me. It's pretty obvious if you've seen the episode, but if I’m doing episode rewrites, I should commit to them.
but what about the Guardians? And the Lich was still out there somewhere.
"Yeah, listen to, uh, Simon," said Petra.
Was that "uh" theatrical, or did she really not remember his name until Gunter used it? Probably the second.
She'd been lying facedown where the wave had left her.
She's the only poor swimmer in the group. Gunter is a penguin, and Simon was raised by penguins and has a fish for a girlfriend, so they're both excellent swimmers. And O'Malley can probably swim pretty well because he’s an Irish setter.
She pushed herself up into a kneeling position and wiped her face. "When the last Guardian dies, the fighting stops."
Martin says this in the episode, and the battle immediately finishes with Martin getting hit by a stray shot. But here the battle lasts a little longer, because I needed the characters to talk first.
The Guardians were definitely losing, Simon decided.
I’m glad I can tell when I’m being stupidly vague now, because that’s the first step to not being stupidly vague in the next draft
"I gotta help them."
O'Malley made a loud groaning noise.
So there's this They Might Be Giants song and Homestar Runner short called Crystal Fortress where the singer tells Strong Bad to come down from his crystal fortress, while Strong Bad insults him. At the start of the second verse, Strong Bad groans over the first line because he'd hoped the song was over, and that's basically what I was thinking of here.
"Could you drop the hero act for five Grod-darn minutes?"
In this story, I wrote him as being genuinely concerned that Simon was going to get himself killed pretending to be a hero. That’s why, earlier on, he ran towards the Lich to try to convince Simon to run as well. But he’s still more concerned about his own welfare, especially if he has more than a split second to think about it.
"I am a hero," said Simon. "And I'm not your protege!
O'Malley said he was earlier and it's really bothering him.
I've beaten the Lich before, and I can do it again." He just wished he had a plan.
I should have had him at least start to come up with a plan here, but I guess he has had a hard day.
"See?" said O'Malley to Petra. "Never listens to me anymore." To Simon, he said "Be realistic. Your mom ain't even here."
Not sure what that line has to do with what they were talking about, but at least it moves the scene along.
"Yes she is!" said Simon, looking directly at Petra.
"Okay," said Petra. "I know what you're implying, but I do not remember having a son."
Petra actually figured it out earlier when she learned what Simon was doing there, but all she knows about whether she has any kids is that she doesn’t want to remember, so she played dumb. Now that Simon has basically stated that he’s her son, she doesn’t think she can get away with that anymore.
As mentioned in rewrite of The Visitor, Drifter, Petra is deliberately lying by omission by saying she doesn't remember having a son. She knows she probably has a child of some sort, but she doesn't remember it, so technically she’s telling the truth.
O'Malley looked between them, then burst out laughing. "You... You two are related! And you were calling me old."
I like the implication that having kids makes someone older than just living a lot of years.
A monster flew overhead, and they all ducked.
Trying to ground the scene in the place it's supposed to be happening, so they don’t disappear into the blank plane of endless dialogue.
"I thought, quick hands, must be a human trait," O'Malley continued. "Likes to talk, questions every minor thing..."
The idea behind this was that he didn't want to assume that everyone of the same species was related, because people have done that to him and it's annoying. He probably thought he might be her nephew rather than her son, though.
Petra sighed. "You don't know as much about humans as you think."
Everything Petra says to O'Malley is dismissive or insulting. I write her as bigoted towards non-humans, although she considers O'Malley one of the smart ones. I was going to say one of the "good ones", but...
"Sure, he didn't get your air of superiority," said O'Malley "But he got your skill set, all right." To Simon, he said "See? You come from a long line of career criminals."
I doubt Petra actually told him anything about her family.
Simon wanted to say that ancestry didn't matter, but all he could think about was his mother being a criminal like O'Malley. She might have denied being his mother, but she didn't look inclined to deny being a criminal.
I think he probably would have been able to respond if anyone else had told him that, but just being around O'Malley seems to be mildly triggering for him.
"You follow the Church of the Third Moon, then?" said Gunter to O'Malley.
Gunter jumped in because Simon was getting upset.
"What?" said O'Malley.
"I've never met anyone who wasn't raised Adrestian who calls Glob the Divine Quadruple G," said Gunter. "Adrestianity is obviously in your blood."
O’Malley calling Glob “The Divine Quadruple G” was just supposed to be a dialectal thing, but it worked too well for this scene not to bring it up again.
It's basically a fringe sect of whatever the dominant religion of Uuu is, and the central idea is that there's a secret third moon of Mars called Adrestia. In Greek mythology, Adrestia was the daughter of Ares and Aphrodite, and the sister of Phobos and Deimos, which the real moons of Mars are named after. Like Phobos and Deimos, she's associated with war, so it seemed like the best choice for a third moon of Mars. "Adrestianity" is a pretty obvious play on "Christianity". The name is a little close to Andrastianism from the Dragon Age games, but I don't think that's significant enough to change it.
"Maybe I'm not Adrestian like my folks were," O'Malley conceded.
I used past tense there because I thought his parents were probably dead, given his age. But afterwards I wondered how he knew that if he doesn’t get along with them, and how he reacted to their deaths. I wondered so hard I ended up outlining a whole story that wouldn't leave me alone until I wrote it out. And now it still won't leave me alone because I like the characters too much. Who wants to hear about how his brother-in-law would use Facebook if Facebook was a thing? Because I’ve figured that out.
"But you don't see me infiltrating the 37th Dead World just to say hi. Besides, anyone can be Adrestian, but sneaky skills like these two's don't come around every day."
I had some trouble editing this bit after I wrote it, because working out what it actually meant triggered my stomach pain. That's okay though, he probably didn't think very hard about it either.
Petra sighed again and said "That's great, Mal, but he's not my son. Can you see me with a kid?"
I would rate Petra's fitness as a parent slightly higher than O'Malley's, but only because she hasn't actively traumatised any children that I know of. Unless the reason Simon is afraid of fire is because she threw him into a volcano or something.
Also, she didn't bother lying by omission here because she couldn’t come up with something quickly enough, so she just did a normal lie.
"It's getting easier and easier," O'Malley responded, looking at Simon.
She set herself up for that one.

Story Prompts(?) i’ve kept in my mind
1. First of all. Yes, shtty grammar, so messy, i know. 
(Adventure Time Fanfic) Flame crown of the fire kingdom actually holds a very evil curse, slowly corrupts the user’s mind. This curse is placed to the crown to ensure fire kingdom’s growth by making the current ruler go evil and invade any land they can get. after the king got kicked out of the throne, it’s flame princess’ turn to rule the kingdom. Little did she knew if the crown is pure or not. At a random turn of events, FP suddenly decided to Invade Ooo, with a simple reason “this kingdom is still too small”. It’s up to the Ooo’s resident to stop this, and especially Finn to turn her back to normal. [ I thought this story when i was still 7th grade in Junior High School, when Finn x FP is still canon in the show]
2. ((another) Adventure Time Fanfic) After the previous incident (Fire Kingdom’s Invasion), Finn and FP’s feeling towards each other grows stronger. Years after years (of Finn’s struggle to find a way to touch FP normally(fire shield ofc) and FP’s constant explosion because of her unstable emotion, they got through it though), they decided to get married. Of course it ended up with a massive explosion over and over. You can’t count Finn’s burn marks all over his body. The proof of his love (cheezy, i know). Years again (finding a way to crossbreed against a human with a frickin fire elemental). They got a kid, twins in fact. They decided to name them Flynn(male) and Finnie(Female). Flynn is more like his father, more humanlike. And Finnie is more like her mother, a powerful elemental able to burn the earth down. Ooo’s in peace, with a few burn spots here and there. Until suddenly The Lich got his mind back at prismo’s place, successfully escapes through time and space to finn’s universe, and suddenly appears at the very center of Candy Kingdom. It’s up to Ooo’s full force and of course Finn’s family to defeat this menace of a king. [ i wrote this story after the continuation of the story above. Again, 7th grade, when a LOT of stuffs is still unexplained, such as Lich’s awakement(?)
Below is my stories and whatnot...
3. Original concept..... i guess.....(?)
In a busy day like the usual, an apostle came directly to the skies, grabbing attentions through the earth. They(gender neutral) suddenly announces they(the gods) decided it is finally time to end this nonsense(the world) once and for all. Which of course, people would panic, even sent many armies trying to “neutralize” this “entity”. Feeling enraged, he pushed a humongous Shockwave across the skies, giving a huge blow to the earth’s surface, resulting in various damages and “natural” disasters. After the world filled with only shouts of people below, the apostle thinks it again. And thought it would be amusing for the last entertainment. They sent down a male human baby, parentless. and announces that “This will be your last countdown to the brink of judgement, i will come back if this child dies by your hands truly” and finally disappears into thin air. Little did people know that the child have an very odd birthmark, much like a symbol. The child exactly arrives at a certain location. So this is where the story branches of how i would like the story goes exactly : 
a. Where the child is actually sent down to a remote village, and they secretly raise him until he’s old enough to talk, walk, and socialize. He realizes the he was reclused by the other kids, like “the cursed child that will brink sorrow and end to our village.” but he digress and tries to shrug it off (even though he secretly cries). years later he is old enough to take care of himself. and being reclused, he is only interested with his own world. He’s curious of the outside world. Stuffs happened(my excuse to be lazy), he successfully got out of the village, either by ran away from home or having permission to the elders of the village. Little did he know that the outside people, still searches(?) him, trying to find “the last human” all over the world. Especially an organization called ‘SCRUNIZATION’, tries to locate him all over the world and planned to contain him to a longer life span. When he got to the city a bit far from the village, everything was grim. SO many people are depressed. It’s like the city is near from death. Of course seeing this would sadden the sad boy, even his remote village is more happy and peaceful than...that. 
So this route of story mainly focuses on him discovering many happiness in a bulk of negative things around the world, while slowly the Org. locates him (His birthmark is very similar with the Apostle’s appearance(i can’t say what it looked like). The climax is basically him being chased by people from all over the world, with his head full of many bounties ‘alive only’. Much like Ragna The Bloodedge from Blazblue series. And maybe just the trash i am, slip some romance in there *incoherent laughs
and the B route which is
the child is already sent down in a packed city, so many people could witness it. The government of said city, progressively plans about this child’s factor from many stuffs. Such as average human life spans, his immunity to some diseases(which is very high ; he rarely, very rarely gets sick), to his mental and stuffs. They  planned which family, or at least “person” would be given a task this big, to adopt a parentless child, coming down from the sky, as the timebomb of their end. And honestly it wasn’t easy to do this, because many, and i mean MANY people already gave up hopes to live and stuffs, giving a hard way to keep the city moving. But an organization was made solely to raise this baby, called ‘SCRUNIZATION’ (from the word ‘scrutiny’ and ‘organization’, i know, so creative) decided to raise him instead. So, it was the start of this child’s isolation to socialization. Stuffs happened(again, my way of saying “i’m lazy to properly explain this part), he could talk, walk, and socialize(again).
Around the age of 5 years old, he noticed the absence of his ‘parents’, when he asks the scientist around his chamber, they would just sweat and gives off a panicked face and tried to ignore him, or kindly told him off. 
Around the age of 7 years old, he noticed the absence of people, other than the scientist that come and go from his chamber. He felt lonely and such. And of course the scientist noticed this.
[at this point my motivation to type is gone, so it’s just a blabbering of a simplified version of the story]
he became depressed and lonely overtima
new smart young girl came in to help observe him
he noticed the new girl, intrigued
given a task to socialize with him daily
being a genius, she’s an introvert don’t know much about socializing
tried so hard to talk to him
he was not interested (or at least, tried not to, he likes teasing her, her expression is funny he thought to himself)
she failed. Hard
he was more and more interested in the oppsite sex, especially this new lady
she was embarassed(?) to talk to him more
he thought it was enough
they warmed up to each other
have fun at each other
the boy grew feelings on her (being a trash i am to always throw in a pinch of romance)
oblivious woman is oblivious
tried so hard to seduse(more like being red-faced because being with her destroys his piece of mind)
failed terribly
the scientist realized his mood improved
the girl got different task in different sector
yadda-yadda sad yadda-yadda seperation
boy got sad
boy ask scientist. feigning ignorance
he mad, yes HE MAD
tempts to kill himself just to threaten the scientist to meet him with the girl, but still can’t
he got moved to that one chamber, filled with just sponge, and he wears that insane-people clothes
the scientist forgot one thing, his mental condition deteriorated if this goes on.
the apostle, seeing this, still amused
frees the boy
teleports the boy to nowhere, literally
and lets him decide if it’s better to kill himself away, or live a little bit longer.
after this, it was just a mental and physical struggle of him trying to live, and find the love of his life (*laughs)
[i wrote this when i was around 9th grade. It got nothing to do with religion and such.
The idea of ‘the last person on earth’ intrigued me a lot when i was that age.
and all i can do to deliver the story is through this mysterious apostle that i created. Seriously, they’re like my lazy explanation of all things inhumane and supernatural in an almost non-fiction story. Much like Ogre(?) from the mad father game (that popular rpg maker game)].
