Everyone connects Prismo's depression to Jake's death, and while that's definitely a big part of it, I think there's another factor: the loss of his only coping mechanism. Prismo started writing Fionna and Cake stories because he was tired of the monotony of his job as wishmaster. Chronologically, he started writing those stories around season 3 (when we first met the characters), they were a source of comfort to him. So losing his connection to Fionnaworld after the finale, coupled with the loss of Jake, led to Prismo having no outlet and just sinking deeper and deeper into existential depression. So Prismo's story shows us the dangers of engaging too much in escapism, but also why we need some of it in our lives.
I love this analysis! I bring up some points on this through his passion to protect the duo, but that loss of connection to his own creation definitely is important!
@@Kev-D-OGprismo has to be asleep because the way magic works in adventure time is based off the fact you need to accept youre apart of someones dream and nothing ultimately matters and thats what drives magic users to insanity. They know theyre not real. Prismo being aware he is nothing more than a dream within a dream and his cosmic importance would make him the most powerful magic user based off the shows logic thus why he can grant any wish and make entire realities
In addition to that he probably also enjoyed so many people engaging with Fionna and Cake. I liked to imagine that Prismo had been watching Ice King's readings, as well as everyone's reactions, and was probably at least somewhat happy or even proud with the small fandom growing in Ooo. Aside from feeling less trapped it's likely it gave him a sense of community, and legacy.
I really appreciate how Prismo has always been a subversion of godlike characters. He is kind to mortals and doesn’t dismiss them or ignore, he’s got limited powers but can still be very strong, and he also doesn’t fall into the whole “don’t befriend mortals” thing. He even ends up grieving over the loss of one, which I find super interesting. And while he’s definitely bitter and experiencing depression & burnout during FaC, he never loses his kindness or willingness to help others, and even ends up sticking up for the guy who was trying to shut him down the whole time. I’d love to see more stuff on him. Great analysis video too!
If Scarab is also currently a wishmaster in training and his shadow is on the wall with prismo, does that mean scarabs physical form is just… napping next to old man prismo?
Man, you're right. He did just make a copy of the world his friend lived in. I know Jake isn't just a dog, but I think anyone who's had a pet that doesn't live as long as we do can relate to that feeling of loss of a friend.
by far the most consistent message that adventure time has told is everything stays yet it still changes and prismo in this is the one who represents that here, he's still himself but he's had experiences that change how he approaches stuff, take his relationship with scarab, he's much more open and patient with him while still doing what he's been doing in the grand scheme of things
I'm hoping in season 2 (if they end up making one) they show how Prismo and Scarab manage to get along, and give us more insight on the two whilst they work together, as I have a feeling they've known each other for quite awhile!
I’d love to see that! Adventure Time is great at making characters feel like they’ve grown a lot so if we see any changes in The Scarab I’d be excited to see what they do.
Kinda hilarious how a cosmic wishmaster with the power to literally create universes at the snap of his finger can get depressed as shit. He just like me fr
I identified quite a bit with prismo during Fiona and cake, almost to an uncanny level. I draw for a living, barely making enough to get by on my own and leaving me with almost no freetime to draw for myself, only ever making stuff for others. I’ve been very bogged down this year, both with work and recovering from some pretty rough injuries and the trauma they came with, and recently I’ve been working on my own little world build, very adventure time inspired of course. It’s been my escape, my selfish little indulgence whenever I’m fed up with working for others and need time to reconnect with why I enjoy what I do. It doesn’t pay the bills or anything but it’s been my own little escape and it makes me happy, and learning that Fiona and cake was the same for prismo was pretty comforting in a way.
I can definitely relate to Prismo as well! As someone who has wanted to be a writer for most of my life, seeing him find comfort in making something just for himself was honestly really great.
Def interested in some sort of analysis when it comes to Beth and Shermy and that whole timeline, as well as the fact that that GolBetty put Simons conscious into the body of Shermy, which (I think?) is literally Simons home reality, just many, many years into the future, I think 1000? Just really interests me.
This sounds fun! I've never done a deep dive really into the future world outside of that doc that one of the showrunners posted on Tumblr, so I'll definitely keep this in mind for later!
If for Golbetty the future is so accessible, does that imply that Golb knew he would be merged with Betty? If yes, why he let Betty make the wish then?
@@renatocouto1308time travel can get really fickle really fast. I think the creators just wanted to implement Beth and Shermy. I dont think they worried too much about Glob's powers questions like that cus you can go down a deep rabbit hole full of unanswered stuff :)
I think the series has a lot about escapism, and being selfish/selfless, and when each one is okay. Fiona and Cake are literally escaping their world, into worlds of magic and mystery. They get to run away from the mundane. But in the end, they come to terms with reality, and decide that they dont want it to go away in favor of some fantasy. Simon escapes into the bottom of a bottle, running from the loss of betty, the scary new world, and the actions of his past. He even tries to escape into self sacrifice, by trying to put on the crown. But in the end he comes to terms with his reality, and decides that living for himself day to day is worth doing. Prismo is stuck in a sort of interdimensional hyper bureaucracy literal a cubicle job, basically doing IT. He seems to be fine until jake dies, and then he has a hard time coping with that, and escapes into watching videos of his friends doing stuff. But I dont think he actually fixed his problem. In the end, he was vindicated. He wins. The Scarab gets punished, sure. But a ton of people are still above the scarab. Prismo just finds out that there are potential consequences to being lazy about his work. But he also is entirely justified in making unauthorized universes now. He got rewarded for doing so in the end.
With how much Adventure Time (specially Fionna and Cake) play with the idea of fiction as reality and stuff like writing and rewriting as power in the world this idea Prismo that works similar to a person having lucid dream where you can control everything and do anything And also a fan creator that loves the media he enjoys so much that he wants to make his own original interpretation after only being able to do what others ask him to do (sth he finds only as a chore and is not passionate about) is fantastic.
I think Prismo is the idea of Enlightenment like many other theories talk about, coming from the mind of someone who has left all desire and ego. No wonder he liked Jake, Jake died and found peace in the 55th dead world. Dude has had no one like him in probably Eons, or whenever he overtook the job of Wishmaster. The whole series really felt like it taught me, or helped me, to "Move On". Everyone moves on, Simon, Prismo, even Finn sorta does in his way. (or will if the series continues)
A lot of people making videos keep saying prismo is watching different universes with a still alive Jake, but I don't think that's the case. It just has to be watching his favorite person at different times. The Finn he is seen with has shorter hair, shorter beard, and is not as beefy. These are clearly things used to indicate a time in the past. Adventure time constantly used the length of Finn's hair to indicate the passage of time. The beard is the big giveaway. Beards take significantly longer to grow. Also, if it was a different universe why wouldn't prismo try to make friends with more alive Jake's? Probably because they aren't his Jake, so why would he watch other Jake's if it's specifically his Jake that matters to him? Putting this together I think we have to assume he is simply watching Jake's past adventures. Seeing his friend in some of best moments.
It really hits me what you said about escapism helping build a community and as a way to cope with personal problems. I was very depressed and lonely before I found a dragon pov book series called wings of fire and that world sucked me in to the point of making my first proper fanfic. And through that fanfic I managed to meet all sorts of people who have bonded with me through my characters and eventually connected to me. Through that world I have managed to meet a lot of important people in my life now and I can finally say that I have real friends who actually care about me.
Theoretically; Prismo is a character in the dream being had by the sleeping man. We learn, in season 6, Episode 19 "Is That You?", that the sleeping man is Jake from a different universe (but the original sleeping man is Prismo). Since Jake has died, Prismo is trapped in a sort of limbo as if there is life after death
Aside from this being a fantastic video content wise, your soothing voice mixed with the background music made for a very chilled watch and listen. Keep it up bud
Maybe talking about B-Mo? Is B-Mo keeping themselves stupid deliberately to stay happy? Seems like little guy has it all figured out like Jake. There’s gotta be a reason she’s never seen being down for too long.
That sounds fun! BMO’s always been a super fun character, but I agree that there’s a level of depth that people don’t really discuss because of the more comedy focused nature of his episodes.
This is a very well-made video but there was something I couldn't get over and I mean this in the most sincere, kindest way possible: You look like a Skyrim character.
Oh yea if you didn't know "sleeping prismo" is actually "sleeping old man jake" which explains why they are so close. Prismo is the manifestation of Jake's subconscious.
Man, I love this analysis of Prismo! This is great! What’s your opinion of Scarab? Do you think he was really the bad guy? I mean yeah he’s rude but he was really just doing his job. Idk theres a lot of qualities to him that makes him both good and bad.
Guys. In the finally When fiona blows the dandilon(sorry) to everyone. Cake/babyfin/squirrel inhales it too. Doesn't mean that their universe is magical
Huh...I didn't think of Prismo's evolution that way, I only focused on how he was in ep 4 and how he changed there ...mostly because I'm obsessing over Scarab so much teehee, he's such a contrast ! He's so powerful yet is made powerless multiple times, he's "composed" and "professional" but has severe anger issues and behind his mask is a little freak, he can't understand why everyone is sucking up to Prismo and thinks it's just because he's cool without understanding why ppl consider him cool : is it because as the Wishmaster he gives out everything ppl want while Scarab's got the opposite job ? Fine then ! He'll get that job and then ppl will finally recognize him as- BUT at the same time he doesn't get peeps so he thinks FINE I don't need friends anyway, I'm actually better than you look at me doing my job perfectly/taking you down for doing one bad thing and ofc ppl hate him now, but he wasn't always hated, ppl used to call him Scrabby and he seemed bummed out that nobody calls him that anymore-but Orbo and Prismo do, but Orbo cuz he doesn't take him seriously and Prismo was doing it to appear friendly because YeP nothing wrong here you can leave now :] And he does recognize that Keirosiphon or whatever his name is- made the best tea he ever tasted > succeeded greatly in his new chosen life, but not doing what he was supposed to do he's tamagotching him anyway and planning to roast him as "trash" ?? and then in his last anger outburst he literally does the same- sorry I meant WORSE than his colleagues did to get egged- cuz of the sick power trip it makes him feel ? While he's a bug and again, gets squashed or undermined man times. Also Tamagotchi eggs are a funny reference but also...pets ? like maybe he wants the company of the ppl he despises because he's lonely but he hates them because they hate him and so behaves even more like a prick which is why they hate him in the first place ? ANND at the end he does get to be in the time room, with the company of THE guy he hated (jealous) the most ? MAN. I'm in love haha look at me rambling again, sorry ! If you did read 'til there though, know that I'd love to have your take on Scarab :)
I mean hey, rambling just means your passionate! The Scarab is definitely an interesting character for sure and I’m excited to look more into his character on the rewatches.
@@chez_borgars I LOEV YOU TOO MARRY ME I can share some A03 fanfics I found if you want (EDIT: actually nvm there's too much- there's so many drawings and fics already omg i'm so friking happy)
@@flubble2473 HELL YEAAAG HIGHFIVE EMOJI also it's alright lol i've read almost every scarab and prohibitedwish fics I can find on ao3 methinks (Literally checking for new fics every couple hours I need to sto😭) I rlly hope we get a season 2 or a spin off with more scab
Hey Kev! I hope you're doing great, I enjoy watching ur content keep going bud. And if u can do a video about Prismo's boss please I'll be thankful have a great day
I'm not Sure if anyone else has asked this but, you talked about how prismo is a manifestation of a guy who is asleep but Adventure Time he comes back through Jake going to sleep in place of old man prism, what do you think that means about Jake, and or his relationship with prismo
Great question! So I didn't think about bringing it up because it simply didn't pop into my head at the time, but I think it could definitely further add to the reason he was so distraught about losing him. The two had such a strong bond that he basically entrusted his life to him, so I can easily see why he's so important to him.
the decision to have Jake take an eternal nap to let Prismo live always seemed like such a bigger deal to me than Prismo Jake or Fin ever really treated it, I know technically Jake said it was okay but I wonder what the version of Jake that is actually sleeping would feel about it. As I'm typing this I'm also wondering what would happen if that Jake were to wake up, would we get a version of Jake back? One with less memories than the version of Jake we completed the show with Or maybe his body would just rapidly decay and time would catch up with him and kill him. idk @@Kev-D-OG
I like it a lot! But I don’t think he was flipping to AU I think he was literally rewinding his Tv vcr thing to watch his honors real adventures, like when he rewinded at simons place
Assuming theres not a prismo for every universe and theres just 1 singular one like the show heavily implies, why dont other versions of jake visit him? that questions really been bugging me and itd be cool to see you speculate on that
@@Kev-D-OG well I’m under the impression that if someone like Wyatt knows and can access prismos time room, and theirs infinite Jakes doing infinite things, inevitably one of them must enter it, and due to the time room being outside of time, technically it should happen instantly as soon as the last jake leaves due to their being a lack of time passage at all. That’s just my theory though
this is quite unrelated a bit but ive seen many people ship scarab and prismo like.. how would that work how would they bang? considering how prismo is just a wall tbh would scarab like tear him off the wall and get to slanging like hes a piece of floppy wet cardboard (when scarab isn't a 2d being like prismo)
HAI Fantastic video! I think yu would love my art discord! We have an adventure time Chanel! I drew a tattoo design for prismo n jack that im putting up later TODAY! May I send the link to yu? 🥺 IM 20 D.W! Just autistic lul
This is my escape and healing ❤️🩹 I lost my equivalent to Prismo and Finns Jake. My Male Cat Scrambles. He was my everything and the best man I’ve ever known. Waking up to sleeping with, playing and singing with him for 9 years. Our adventure has ended. Without Adventure Time I wouldn’t have had the skills to cope and understand how to say goodbye. Not to say it isn’t painful and hard. I can wrap my head around it and yeah!!! Escape by watching breakdown video essays diving deeper into truth and real feels from my favorite characters. Thank you for creating! Keep diving deep into it for all:ll the humans like me who need escape and understanding. ❤️🩹🙏🐈🐾

That's how I see God, tbh
If Scarab is also currently a wishmaster in training and his shadow is on the wall with prismo, does that mean scarabs physical form is just… napping next to old man prismo?
You know I was actually thinking about that during the editing process. It made me really curious too, so I'm glad to see I wasn't alone on that.
Omg yes some needs to draw that
@@beabea_arts Maybe the island even looks like The Scarab too 😅
Old man prismo is just jake eternally sleeping for him
@@BluenanaPhone nah jake kinda morphed into prismo after resurrecting him
Man, you're right. He did just make a copy of the world his friend lived in. I know Jake isn't just a dog, but I think anyone who's had a pet that doesn't live as long as we do can relate to that feeling of loss of a friend.
I know people who would get another pet really soon after they lost one, so I can definitely understand that.
by far the most consistent message that adventure time has told is everything stays yet it still changes and prismo in this is the one who represents that here, he's still himself but he's had experiences that change how he approaches stuff, take his relationship with scarab, he's much more open and patient with him while still doing what he's been doing in the grand scheme of things
Exactly! Love the way you brought Everything Stays into it
i want a spinoff show of prismo and scarab where they kiss, then i will die peacefully
In adventure time lore a version of Jake becomes Prismo, this is how Finn gets the Finn sword which eventually becomes Fern
That's true! So maybe Jake passing could be interpreted as a sort of existential thing for Prismo... That's pretty crazy!
Prismo watching the adventures of Finn and Jake on the tv felt like grown up fans of AT rewatching childhood show to feel nostalgia
I completely agree!
I'm hoping in season 2 (if they end up making one) they show how Prismo and Scarab manage to get along, and give us more insight on the two whilst they work together, as I have a feeling they've known each other for quite awhile!
I’d love to see that! Adventure Time is great at making characters feel like they’ve grown a lot so if we see any changes in The Scarab I’d be excited to see what they do.
You forgot to mention how he makes pickles because that’s an important part of his character
Very true. The artisanal joys of Prismo cannot be understated.

I can definitely see this being the case! I just didn't think about this because Prismo says "this universe has my favorite guy." Great point!
great video! i love how nuanced the writers tackle the theme of escapism is in this miniseries
Thanks so much! Yeah I thought the concept was really interesting and I definitely think I'm gonna talk about it more when I talk about Fionna.
I love you man, my favorite guy to cover fionna and cake and adventure time lore and facts. ❤

Since we got Prismo, I’d love to see a Scarab analysis. I feel hes deeper than alot of ppl give him credit for
I'll definitely keep this in mind!
I love the hat tower by the door

Fionna and cake and the depiction of depression
If I did a depression video, it would just be the whole show.
Honestly, this all feels so relatable.
Oh yea if you didn't know "sleeping prismo" is actually "sleeping old man jake" which explains why they are so close. Prismo is the manifestation of Jake's subconscious.
I did know that, but it completely slipped my mind during the scripting process. It definitely adds to their bond for sure!
He became my fave character since he was introduced
Dang this hits
Glad you enjoyed the video!
i like ur voice a lot man. ill subscribe just for that. you have A1 content too. but your foce feels good in my brain
Man, I love this analysis of Prismo! This is great!
What’s your opinion of Scarab? Do you think he was really the bad guy? I mean yeah he’s rude but he was really just doing his job. Idk theres a lot of qualities to him that makes him both good and bad.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video! I'm considering doing a video on the Scarab in the future because a lot of people were curious what I think of him.

Oh shoot- you actually responded- uh hi :D

and ofc ppl hate him now, but he wasn't always hated, ppl used to call him Scrabby and he seemed bummed out that nobody calls him that anymore-but Orbo and Prismo do, but Orbo cuz he doesn't take him seriously and Prismo was doing it to appear friendly because YeP nothing wrong here you can leave now :]
And he does recognize that Keirosiphon or whatever his name is- made the best tea he ever tasted > succeeded greatly in his new chosen life, but not doing what he was supposed to do he's tamagotching him anyway and planning to roast him as "trash" ?? and then in his last anger outburst he literally does the same- sorry I meant WORSE than his colleagues did to get egged-
cuz of the sick power trip it makes him feel ? While he's a bug and again, gets squashed or undermined man times. Also Tamagotchi eggs are a funny reference but also...pets ? like maybe he wants the company of the ppl he despises because he's lonely but he hates them because they hate him and so behaves even more like a prick which is why they hate him in the first place ? ANND at the end he does get to be in the time room, with the company of THE guy he hated (jealous) the most ?
MAN. I'm in love
haha look at me rambling again, sorry ! If you did read 'til there though, know that I'd love to have your take on Scarab :)
I mean hey, rambling just means your passionate! The Scarab is definitely an interesting character for sure and I’m excited to look more into his character on the rewatches.
@@Kev-D-OG Ya ! heehee
YOU GET IT OH MY GOD
I love scarab sm I need more content of him actually
@@chez_borgars I LOEV YOU TOO MARRY ME I can share some A03 fanfics I found if you want (EDIT: actually nvm there's too much- there's so many drawings and fics already omg i'm so friking happy)
@@flubble2473 HELL YEAAAG HIGHFIVE EMOJI also it's alright lol i've read almost every scarab and prohibitedwish fics I can find on ao3 methinks (Literally checking for new fics every couple hours I need to sto😭) I rlly hope we get a season 2 or a spin off with more scab
Hey Kev! I hope you're doing great, I enjoy watching ur content keep going bud. And if u can do a video about Prismo's boss please I'll be thankful have a great day
Thanks so much for the kind words! The Boss is a concept that I think is really interesting, especially with how long they've been built up for.
Anything bmo related would be an instant watch from me!
BMO's an amazing character that I feel a lot of people don't deep dive into that much, so I'll definitely keep this in mind!
talk about the parallels between fionna and yuji itadori
I have to make the observation of missing the potential of naming this video "Escaprismo".
You know what… You're cooking
After Simon gets sent off by golbetty it looks like she gets.. smaller? That’s something I noticed
I talk about that in another video I did pretty recently actually! I’d definitely recommend checking it out.
@@Kev-D-OG oh ok, Thank you! I will
Crap I'm feeling like prismo just tired of my life
my favourite adventure time caracters: simom, prismo, the lich not in this order and the all mighty golb
Great picks!
@@Kev-D-OG thanks
Fern analysis would be pretty cool
That sounds great! I’m a big Fern fan, so I’ll definitely keep this in mind!
Wasnt there a universe where Jake slept in the bed so prismo can keep existing? Wouldn't Jake's death in that case actually take a piece out of him?
Just thought, if PRISMO creates multiverses, does he also create and design the suffering in those worlds too?
At least in my opinion, I don't think he does. I think the world is created without his specific input outside of the wish being granted.
@@Kev-D-OG I mean when he's creating them on his laptop, not for people making wishes.
@@JustinOToolei think its no different from writing a book or fanfiction. I'm sure you know that writers just LOVE to make their characters suffer.
my top 3 in order
Simon/Ice King
Prismo
Finn
That's a solid trio right there
I can’t remember but was the episode Fionna and Cake before or after Jake and Prismo first met? If it was before maybe they’ve retconned it now
Oh it was a whole season before yeah. They explained it pretty flawlessly though imo
So Prismo is relatable because of his escapism ?
That's just one reason, he was definitely relatable beforehand because he was just chill constantly.
@@Kev-D-OG So he was relatable... because he was chill ?
I'm not Sure if anyone else has asked this but, you talked about how prismo is a manifestation of a guy who is asleep but Adventure Time he comes back through Jake going to sleep in place of old man prism, what do you think that means about Jake, and or his relationship with prismo
Great question! So I didn't think about bringing it up because it simply didn't pop into my head at the time, but I think it could definitely further add to the reason he was so distraught about losing him. The two had such a strong bond that he basically entrusted his life to him, so I can easily see why he's so important to him.
the decision to have Jake take an eternal nap to let Prismo live always seemed like such a bigger deal to me than Prismo Jake or Fin ever really treated it, I know technically Jake said it was okay but I wonder what the version of Jake that is actually sleeping would feel about it. As I'm typing this I'm also wondering what would happen if that Jake were to wake up, would we get a version of Jake back? One with less memories than the version of Jake we completed the show with Or maybe his body would just rapidly decay and time would catch up with him and kill him. idk @@Kev-D-OG
Oh, adventure time AND JoJo. yes I will sub
Ayyy! Thanks so much!
old man prismo is now Jake though so what does that say about the Jake/Prismo
I like it a lot! But I don’t think he was flipping to AU I think he was literally rewinding his Tv vcr thing to watch his honors real adventures, like when he rewinded at simons place
Oh! I never thought about it like that! That could definitely be the case.
I enjoy your video, but I do reccemend getting a louder mic. But you have good points 👍
Thanks for the advice! I’ll change the audio levels a bit for the next video.
Hmm if prismo is Thrird, then finn must be first. But who is the second place on jakes cool guys list?
Hmm... Was thinking Shelby or Jermaine off the top, but there's probably some other ones in there like Billy maybe even Lady if she counts.
hey! What's the background msic you use? I like it a lot
Assuming theres not a prismo for every universe and theres just 1 singular one like the show heavily implies, why dont other versions of jake visit him? that questions really been bugging me and itd be cool to see you speculate on that
I can see where you’re coming from, but I don’t see why they’d even be aware of Prismo in the first place.
@@Kev-D-OG well I’m under the impression that if someone like Wyatt knows and can access prismos time room, and theirs infinite Jakes doing infinite things, inevitably one of them must enter it, and due to the time room being outside of time, technically it should happen instantly as soon as the last jake leaves due to their being a lack of time passage at all. That’s just my theory though
this is quite unrelated a bit but ive seen many people ship scarab and prismo like.. how would that work how would they bang? considering how prismo is just a wall tbh would scarab like tear him off the wall and get to slanging like hes a piece of floppy wet cardboard
(when scarab isn't a 2d being like prismo)
1.Put a hole in the wall,
Or 2. Maybe Prismo could find a way to touch 3D objects or people, he can pick stuff up.
LMFAO I THOUGHT THIS VIDEO WAS AN AI COVER OF ESCAPISM WITH PRISMO 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭💀💀💀💀
OH NAH 😂😂😂 Song is a banger though regardless
I still dont get why people ship prismo and the Scarab but i find it cute
They have the history from being coworkers and are starting to develop some sort of bond, so I can honestly understand where its coming from.
Do a whole video on Finn also if you do dont add my commet 😄
I definitely wanna do an analysis on Finn in the future. He's a really great character and I thought his growth was very compelling.

HAI Fantastic video! I think yu would love my art discord! We have an adventure time Chanel! I drew a tattoo design for prismo n jack that im putting up later TODAY! May I send the link to yu? 🥺 IM 20 D.W! Just autistic lul
ME?
WHAT A FUCKN DILLWEED *JAKE**** IM A REAL ONE PLZ TRUST MEEE
This is my escape and healing ❤️🩹
I lost my equivalent to Prismo and Finns Jake.
My Male Cat Scrambles.
He was my everything and the best man I’ve ever known. Waking up to sleeping with, playing and singing with him for 9 years.
Our adventure has ended.
Without Adventure Time I wouldn’t have had the skills to cope and understand how to say goodbye.
Not to say it isn’t painful and hard. I can wrap my head around it and yeah!!! Escape by watching breakdown video essays diving deeper into truth and real feels from my favorite characters. Thank you for creating! Keep diving deep into it for all:ll the humans like me who need escape and understanding. ❤️🩹🙏🐈🐾
