Finn completely forgetting everything that happened in pillow world always left me with a sense of unfulfillment but now I think it adds so much more to the episode, considering the first golb apearance
It's probably one of the few examples in media where (at least for me) the whole "it was all a dream and no one remembers anything" trope actually worked and wasn't unsatisfying
It also kind of hilariously foreshadows how nihilism Gold represents can be defeated by Adventures Time idea of and moving on and just keep living with no higher purpose.
@@MarioofSevenStars it's actually kind of an interesting theory that golb sees everything on they rawest form so to speak, so even further than what happened in his stomach
Wait does that imply they have reproduction organs? Are they pillows or life forms that resemble pillows? Do they have cells? Blood? Nerves? Erogenous zones? The dragon fin fought at the beginning was just pillows and feathers... *wait where do they get the feathers?!*
Golb's prescience and Finn's forgetfulness makes me wonder if Golb destroyed the pillow universe, which in turn erased that specific universe and everything directly connected to it. Memories anyone would have of it included..
Yeah idk i think it kinda defeats the themes if it is destroyed by an external force and it isn’t just that he isn’t there and it doesn’t matter anymore
As Jake said "now it's gone forever, so it's not real, and I don't care about it anymore." I don't think it matters if Golb destroyed pillow world or not, Finn dies there so he can't go back. It's erased from him because he's done with his time there regardless of Golb. He subconsciously gets Jake's lesson better than Jake does. Haha
I've always been very focused on families, especially the love of a parent and child. Because of that, I started ugly crying every time I saw the pillow kids, or thought too much about Finn forgetting them
The Box Prince has stuck with me since I first watched it, it serves like a reminder that some things aren’t as complicated as we make them seem. To just enjoy the simple joys of life, and to just live in the present. It’s one of my favorite episodes cause it’s so simple yet can be interpreted as a more complex idea
The fact that Finn manages to get lost in the Pillowverse, find a girl, get married, have children, embark on a quest to get back to his home-world, grow old, and die, only for this entire thing to be a dream... I was like "Huh?!"
Technically he loses his arm in other universes too not just future, It's like 'must happen' phenomenon, I never seen a version of him without a missing arm.
Honestly, considering how Finn was when he was 15, I don't think he would have recovered if he remembered his pillow family. That would have messed up even those who aren't chronic overthinkers like him.
This really hits home with something I keep trying to remind others in my life. Just because you know something isn't a big deal and you know that it shouldn't affect you as much as it does, it doesn't make the feelings less real and go away. Just because there are worse things in the world, it won't make the pain you experience less painful. Whether you stub a toe or break a bone, BOTH still hurt even if one is clearly more painful. You should be allowed to feel your feelings without others criticizing you and invalidating those very emotions.
Not to mention, Father Finn was voiced by Jonathan Frakes, Will Riker from Star Trek TNG :D The ending of the episode though, with the promise to remember after the dream... reminds me very much of Zelda: Link's Awakening, where much the same thing happens.
To make the frakes voice cameo even better, this episode is directly influenced by TNGs The Inner Light, where Picard lived an entire lifetime in a similar way. My favourite episode of both shows. alphanumeric.
The advice Jake gives Finn is by far the most helpful thing for a person with anxiety disorder to hear , I really wish this episode existed last year when my mental health was falling apart but I'm much better now so...Eh , I guess it all worked out.
As a fellow person with autism and panic attacks, the importance of being mindfully present is such an important and god damn difficult lesson. Darn electric meat sac gonna do what it'll do and we both have to manage it best we can.
Damn. I wasn't expecting a video I clicked on randomly since I haven't watched that much of Adventure Time to affect me so profoundly. I also struggle with being autistic and anxiety disorders making it impossible to live in the moment as I'm constantly absorbed by the past and future. I feel like I've been told to move on and start living in the here and now so many times before but something about the way you put it truly resonated with me. It's completely shook up my perspective on everything going on in life right now. I honestly feel the need to say thank you for making this.
As someone who has suffered from anxiety disorders and borderline I can totally relate. There's a TH-cam channel that I'm a big fan of and I used to sign their Patreon and when I did, I got a shout out in a video. I love rewatching videos that I like but I had to cancel my subscription to their patreon due to short money and I felt so guilty about it that I couldn't watch the video that I got a shout out for months. Yesterday I finally watched it again I realized it was just my head that was being hella messy and stupid. Now I singned the Patreon again and stopped feeling guilty cause I had no money to support a creator that I love. Feelings are weird.
As someone who had similar experiences having social anxiety, I appreciate you sharing those experiences, makes it seem less alone. Even though I'm much better off these days than I use to be!
THANK YOU FOR TALKING ABOUT THIS EPISODE This one stuck with me for YEARS and the fact the show and everyone else seemed to have just forgotten it and left it behind as if it were nothing has been so jarring to me for so long now. This episode and it's implications have lived in my head rent free for far too long XD
Thank you for being vulnerable. I'm having a tough time sorting through all of my own shit (probably still trying to find any logic and equating it to meaning), but your personal struggles and where they've led you do resonate with me. I'll keep processing
"Blankets and pillows are used for bedding." Wow. I never got the innuendo on that. I was always like, "Well yeah, obviously, everything is made of pillows, so they use them for bedding too. Finn is just super nervous talking to a girl." Literally hit my man with the "I'd like to be used for bedding, if you know what I mean."
That ending breaks my heart after Together Again. That timeline is Literally the only time Finn could live without Jake. If he did remember that... Maybe he could've moved on in life. Assuming he didn't spend the rest of his life looking for Pillow World. Also, Rosalin was best girl. I will die on that hill.
For me, it's the cat prince episode. Because it builds up to a final battle only to undercut it when Finn realises that they're cats and don't really care about concepts of royalty
I've always liked this episode but never unpacked it like I have had with others, so this video actually made me appreciate the episode so much more than I already had. So, thank you for that. Which episode has stuck with me the longest is a hard question, as I feel like multiple have stuck with me. Though I'm going to go with the one that made me feel like a turning point for the show is happening when it released, which is "Astral Plane" as while story wise it sets up a lot, the mental side of Finn going through the meaning of creation was really changed my thought process a bit when I was younger. Love all of adventure time so much and thank you for all of your videos talking about it and Fionna and Cake as well. And thank you for opening up a bit at the end it was really relatable.
Honestly I never thought of Jake’s issues until you mentioned it cause he never really gotten over it till much later when his kids tried to get involved with him on their own.
12:30 What you said right there really help me with the sickness im going through and my throat, thank you for sharing this beautiful life advice and I bless you and your channel for a very bountiful future and hope other people growing up find this video and have the same relief I had when I was going through this illness.
Gotta say it was very interesting to hear someone describe their thought processes surrounding stuff like anxiety, people and social cues, and have it be verbatim to my own. I think including your own personal experience was a great addition to the overall idea of the video and really helped to facilitate your analysis and the point of the episode. Great job!
The closest comparison I can think of is superman the man who has everything. The idea of immersing one self in a false world only to lose or forget sound terrifying. It's like some weird form of dementia.
12:00 was the moment where i've never felt so relatable in a Sarcastic Chorus Video, i myself struggle with overthinking and anxiety, trying to logically come to the conclusions of why I'm feeling the way i do instead of just accepting it and moving forward. This was a good video and i thank you for opening up about this
I wasn’t expecting such a relatable & poignant life lesson out of this analysis. I’m autistic and struggle with the exact same things as you, thank u for this video as adventure time and philosophy are my main special interests rn! Great reminders in here!!
This episode somewhat made me ponder a lot as a kid. And no, it's not because of the whole "finn fucked a pillow" thing, it's the ending. The idea that your entire life was just a dream, one dream after another. Every time someone dies, they just wake up as a different person, and they only see it as a dream. As a 14 year old back then when i first saw this, it made me ponder of my own existence. Whether or not I'm just a dream. And this shit lasted fir 4 years until i came to the conclusion, "fuck it, we ballin". That shouldn't matter to me (yet). And plus, even if I'm a dream, my dreamer self is probably not going to remember me or my old life so I may as well just live in the present for all I know
The Adventure Time episode that's burned into my brain (in the good way) is "Dad's Dungeon". We know from the show, even up to that point, which was fairly early in the show's run, that Finn is a very capable kid growing up into a strong hero. Joshua's recordings point out how much of a squishy baby Finn was, and it highlights how much potential a person has. With the right guidance, any squishy baby can grow up to make positive changes in the world. That's how the best people in the world came to be. "I'm proud of you. You're gonna do great things in this world. I love you, son."
I understand your feelings regarding anxiety and autism cause I've had to face the same struggle with my adhd, and namely the rejection sensitive dypshoria that comes with it and how it continues to affect me to this day. Making me overthink, and the fear of overthinking making it even worse. Or the feelings that I'm annoying people around me because of my hyperactivity. When in reality I'm not bothering anyone. It causes me to hyper analyze my own behavior and things i say.
there's a theory that Pillow World was real, Finn got into it through a wormhole in reality, and the "it was only a dream" comes from the fact that Golb didn't just "chance upon" Finn in the nothingness, but was actively going towards Pillow World to destroy it/rework it into something new, and *that* is why Finn forgets everything. and like. that theory haunted me for a while.
I love hearing how deep and profound this episode is I don’t normally think about that stuff; I just watch shows to be entertained, but it’s amazing to hear about it from people who break down and analyze this stuff
I really appreciate the advice section. I'm in a similar boat with all those years of therapy, autism, stress and anxiety... I'm still learning a lot and have a lot left. I really love philosophical lectures for meditation, especially Watts and Ram Das. People always advise to distract from the fear, but the quickest way through is by embracing it and letting it teach and empower you
Jake the Brick: Another great episode to look at. There’s a lot to unpack here there’s two main points for me. With Jake it’s that certain ideas that may harm us and separate us from our loved ones for some reason and while sometimes that idea may feel grand, maybe we are the only thing holding that idea up. With Finn he’s the hero, he’s always the hero and by the end he learns that by (literally) giving someone space to work things out is what’s best and you don’t always have to be the one to fix things.
Ironically, the episode that stuck with me the most was the first Fionna and Cake episode. It was the first episode I watched in full and got me into the series. Yes I am still foaming at the mouth over the Fionna and Cake series as it gave the characters that drew me into the show so much room to shine.
11:18 Same here about the throat issues related to anxiety, nice to know I'm not the only one. Great video by the way! Hadn't thought about it like this when I watched it the first time
I love the quote you shared in this episode. I've never heard it before and that quote and just the solid advice you gave about feelings and moments in our lives makes this one of my favorite episodes. Thank you
15:32 tragic, but maybe not meaningless... If the kids are still around and all of that, even if he forgot, it had meaning... he had love, he made love, he loved his kids, and they will have that memory of him and tell stories to their kids It wasn't all for nothing.
the thing about fearing a panic attack, and that just leading into a panic spiral, is too goddamn relatable. even with meds and therapy, it still dominates my life. anyway yeah thanks for talking about that.
Hall of Egress is probably the episode of Adventure Time that stuck with me the most. You can avoid a problem even adapt yourself to live with the problem, but it’ll still bite you in the ass every once in awhile till you solve it. I really like that in Fionna and Cake Finn wears a blindfold again and it’s kinda like symbolism for Finn still being in denial about Jake and avoiding his feelings.
I thought this episode was just a recreation of an episode from Star Trek: Next Generation. I don't remember what the takeaway from both was, but I know Jean-Luc remembered his life fake life in the end, because the whole thing started with a cursed flute that took him back in time to a long dead civilization who wanted to be remembered as real people.
This video really spoke to me on a personal level. Ever since I'd discovered the philosophy of stoicism, I had always put the idea on a pedistal and would feel guilty about letting my problems bother me or mulling over a loss. It would often make me feel insecure about my sense of masculinity, but now as i'm a little bit older, I can see the balance between being logical and being human.
Having MDD and CPTSD, I intellectualized my feelings a lot. I thought I could table my feelings and get rid of them and never feel them again. And then I had a triggering moment in my life that sent me into a MONTHS long spiral and depressive episode. I learned that it was okay to be upset or bothered by something. And while I still struggle with feeling my feelings, I’ve gotten a lot more gracious with myself. Things still bother you, even if it’s a little bit and that’s okay.
The Adv Time episode that hit hardest for me was “I Remember You.” Probably would have anyway but certainly helped by the fact that I saw it just a month after my father was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. 😢
I Remember You. That episode hit me so hard, I had to draw fan art of it that night. I still openly cry when I hear the song. If you've ever had to watch someone you love slowly forget you, this episode will wreck you. I even had Tom Kenny (Ice King) sign my art, expressing to him how much that episode really meant, outside a silly little fantasy cartoon.
The episode I still talk about is when Jake threw a party for Fin on the train and the train ended up plummeting off a cliff only to be caught by sheer luck by a massive pile of gelaten. Fin then asks Jake if he had planned that and Jake just says so no we could have died there, the episode ends with Fin looking up at that cliff realizing how precious his life is and how it all could have ended with no big fight no goodbye just full stop train fall splat.
This ep is AT’s take on the Star Trek: TNG episode “The Inner Light”, which is one of the best episodes of Trek ever made. AT did lived up to the task of making their version great as well. There are more Trek references in the ep as well, like Frakes being Adult Finn’s VA, and also the hermit guy is voiced by the same actor as the Grand Nagus in Trek. The following episode to this, “BMO Lost” has Levar Burton (Geordie) as the voice of Bubble/Air. Also, Finn playing the flute after this is a reference to Picard after the Inner Light. I’d love to see a comparison video analysis of the two versions. Like in the Inner Light, the world that Picard experiences is doomed to end because of a supernova, and the whole community knows it. It gets pretty existential as well. Puhoy also has one of my fave AT one-liners: “i remember.. when i was dad,” “im not dead yet!” Great video!
Genuinely, your description of your anxiety is the most similar, all the way down to worrying about inconveniencing strangers. Its almost a relief to hear someone describe an experience so similar
Are you not aware that in this society women can do no harm, especially with how cute you are? Why worry when everything you do is excused by simps who think they got a chance if they defend you no matter what you do? Looks fade, beter make use of them while you can, take over the world with your simp army @@carolinekaufman2210
This is reminiscent of Jake and Finn's entire life and afterlife. Finn still through his entire life, didnt want to let go of Jake who passed away decades before, and Jake had already moved on and was enlightened in the afterlife as fulfilled. Finn learned to let Jake go, and Jake learned to hang onto his attachment to Finn, and they were able to reincanate together.
I do believe the knife storm is because of Finn's not wanting to go to Flame Princess and actually working it out because if you notice that they don't try to stop the night storm even though we have a reason why it happened. And also because the Adventure Time World kind of works on how you view things and you can literally mold the fabric of reality. And we also know within lore that Finn is a cosmic powerful being there's a high chance when he wanted to do a little bit of escapism and imagined being alone in a empty void because it's the Adventure Time world something had to fill that empty void
This was a great video. Makes me want to rewatch that episode lol I loved that you talked about your experience with your struggles too. Glad you've been kind to yourself 💕
Finn completely forgetting everything that happened in pillow world always left me with a sense of unfulfillment but now I think it adds so much more to the episode, considering the first golb apearance
It's probably one of the few examples in media where (at least for me) the whole "it was all a dream and no one remembers anything" trope actually worked and wasn't unsatisfying
@@airplanes_aren.t_real Golb ate those food.
It also kind of hilariously foreshadows how nihilism Gold represents can be defeated by Adventures Time idea of and moving on and just keep living with no higher purpose.
it makes me feel empty but at the same time.. it's gone, it's not real, so we shouldn't think much about it because we already learned from it :D
Dreams are a whole other life.
I like the fact that this is the only episode where Golb acknowledged the presence of someone, he was really like "Dude wtf???" When finn passed by
Imagine if golb thought "even he is too crazy for me"
golb: Was that the blue comet?
@@MarioofSevenStars it's actually kind of an interesting theory that golb sees everything on they rawest form so to speak, so even further than what happened in his stomach
GREAT SARCASTIC CHORUS 👌 FLAME Princess AND FINN RELATIONSHIP SCATTER.
Maybe because Finn touched him in his way back to Ooo?
Gives whole new meaning to the term "Body pillow".
The only difference is that it actually felt love for him 💀
@@A_Hylian_Not_An_Elfhide it from the weebs 💀
What if someone made a body pillow of Roslyn
@secoreymcfarquhar9551 I think I'd buy it as my first, and possibly only, body pillow, just for the humor.
you could say he is "bodying" that pillow.
The greatest lies us humans ever told ourselves is that you have to stop making pillow forts at a certain age.
Fr fr
I stoped it, and I didnt master it to create my own pillow world, tragedy 😞
pillow forts were huge when you were a kid, now its no as big :/
It's hard to top Community's pillow fort episode
Even as a kid, I was thinking: "How the hell did he get a pillow pregnant!? TWICE!"
Wait does that imply they have reproduction organs? Are they pillows or life forms that resemble pillows? Do they have cells? Blood? Nerves? Erogenous zones? The dragon fin fought at the beginning was just pillows and feathers... *wait where do they get the feathers?!*
Or the fabric,that is their skin? Do they have cotton plants?
With all the crazy stuff that happens in Adventure Time, pillow pregnancy is where you draw the line?
This was a show that has trees made of cotton candy there’s a point where questioning is a waste of time
We had alien/other dimension being dog head pregnancy at some point so i can accept this
I'm surprised that he didn't mention that his pillow kids had the same names as his farmworld kids
It's kind of wholesome to think that fin already knows what name he wants to give his kids
Golb's prescience and Finn's forgetfulness makes me wonder if Golb destroyed the pillow universe, which in turn erased that specific universe and everything directly connected to it. Memories anyone would have of it included..
This is pretty much canon, just not explicitly stated
@@orbboom6119 maybe it's because the main Adventure Time universe is still active?
Yeah idk i think it kinda defeats the themes if it is destroyed by an external force and it isn’t just that he isn’t there and it doesn’t matter anymore
As Jake said "now it's gone forever, so it's not real, and I don't care about it anymore." I don't think it matters if Golb destroyed pillow world or not, Finn dies there so he can't go back. It's erased from him because he's done with his time there regardless of Golb. He subconsciously gets Jake's lesson better than Jake does. Haha
understandable
Finn getting the life he deserved only to forget he'd ever lived it is truly tragic.
Wait, THIS EPISODE WON AN EMMY! If any episode deserves an award, it's "I remember you."
Fr 😔
💯
Ikr! We was robbed!
It was one of the many that won
I prefer this episode. I remember you provides a lot of exposition and character building but I think puhoy is more imaginative and creative.
I've always been very focused on families, especially the love of a parent and child. Because of that, I started ugly crying every time I saw the pillow kids, or thought too much about Finn forgetting them

It's basically the one star trek next gen episode where that happens to picard.
All that in a span of 11 minutes plus a B plot on the side with BMO and Jake
And both Finn and Picard can play a flute
I think it was real considering golb was there. He doesn't just chill in people's dreams so I think that universe was erased.
I just realized fin with pillow arm is a prediction of his future to actually loses his real arm lol
For real
there's so much foreshadowing it (off the top of my head i can think of farmworld finn and that one scene in king worm)
Technically he loses his arm in other universes too not just future, It's like 'must happen' phenomenon, I never seen a version of him without a missing arm.
@@badumba5511So, his arm loss is a canon event
Honestly, considering how Finn was when he was 15, I don't think he would have recovered if he remembered his pillow family. That would have messed up even those who aren't chronic overthinkers like him.
Honestly. It made sense to me. He thought he was trapoed there forever and he moved on

As a 14 year old back then when i first saw this, it made me ponder of my own existence. Whether or not I'm just a dream. And this shit lasted fir 4 years until i came to the conclusion, "fuck it, we ballin". That shouldn't matter to me (yet). And plus, even if I'm a dream, my dreamer self is probably not going to remember me or my old life so I may as well just live in the present for all I know
As someone dealing with Anxiety, thank you for sharing your experiences. It was extremely comforting and helpful. ❤
11:06 Huh , explains why I sometimes feel like I'm listening to a therapist while watching your videos
The Adventure Time episode that's burned into my brain (in the good way) is "Dad's Dungeon". We know from the show, even up to that point, which was fairly early in the show's run, that Finn is a very capable kid growing up into a strong hero. Joshua's recordings point out how much of a squishy baby Finn was, and it highlights how much potential a person has. With the right guidance, any squishy baby can grow up to make positive changes in the world. That's how the best people in the world came to be.
"I'm proud of you. You're gonna do great things in this world. I love you, son."
I understand your feelings regarding anxiety and autism cause I've had to face the same struggle with my adhd, and namely the rejection sensitive dypshoria that comes with it and how it continues to affect me to this day. Making me overthink, and the fear of overthinking making it even worse. Or the feelings that I'm annoying people around me because of my hyperactivity. When in reality I'm not bothering anyone. It causes me to hyper analyze my own behavior and things i say.
There's a nonzero chance that Finn and jake needed to wash one of the pillows in the fort after this.
Well he is voiced by Jonathan Frakes haha
I would love to get a pillow fort that cool to cheer me up. That just looks cool.
would you fuck it 💯💯
there's a theory that Pillow World was real, Finn got into it through a wormhole in reality, and the "it was only a dream" comes from the fact that Golb didn't just "chance upon" Finn in the nothingness, but was actively going towards Pillow World to destroy it/rework it into something new, and *that* is why Finn forgets everything. and like. that theory haunted me for a while.
The personal part of this video hit super close to home for me, so, thank you for that
To get a family one needs : bed bedding partner
Finn with missing an ingredient: lets wing it
😂😂😂😂
I love hearing how deep and profound this episode is
I don’t normally think about that stuff; I just watch shows to be entertained, but it’s amazing to hear about it from people who break down and analyze this stuff
If you were to tell me that adventure time would win a Emmy with an episode that has Finn clapping some pillow cheeks twice, I'd wouldn't be shocked
I really appreciate the advice section. I'm in a similar boat with all those years of therapy, autism, stress and anxiety... I'm still learning a lot and have a lot left. I really love philosophical lectures for meditation, especially Watts and Ram Das.
People always advise to distract from the fear, but the quickest way through is by embracing it and letting it teach and empower you
Ah yes, truly the best ship, Finn x Pillow Princess
Jake the Brick: Another great episode to look at. There’s a lot to unpack here there’s two main points for me. With Jake it’s that certain ideas that may harm us and separate us from our loved ones for some reason and while sometimes that idea may feel grand, maybe we are the only thing holding that idea up. With Finn he’s the hero, he’s always the hero and by the end he learns that by (literally) giving someone space to work things out is what’s best and you don’t always have to be the one to fix things.
Ironically, the episode that stuck with me the most was the first Fionna and Cake episode. It was the first episode I watched in full and got me into the series.
Yes I am still foaming at the mouth over the Fionna and Cake series as it gave the characters that drew me into the show so much room to shine.
0:50 that is fire😂😂😂 that line is crazy
11:18 Same here about the throat issues related to anxiety, nice to know I'm not the only one. Great video by the way! Hadn't thought about it like this when I watched it the first time
Thanks for the advise man! Autism has really made me overthink so many things. And the episode truly earned that emmy
I love the quote you shared in this episode. I've never heard it before and that quote and just the solid advice you gave about feelings and moments in our lives makes this one of my favorite episodes. Thank you
15:32 tragic, but maybe not meaningless... If the kids are still around and all of that, even if he forgot, it had meaning... he had love, he made love, he loved his kids, and they will have that memory of him and tell stories to their kids
It wasn't all for nothing.
Mayors daughter?? Nono…
That’s Pillow Princess
the thing about fearing a panic attack, and that just leading into a panic spiral, is too goddamn relatable. even with meds and therapy, it still dominates my life. anyway yeah thanks for talking about that.
Hall of Egress is probably the episode of Adventure Time that stuck with me the most. You can avoid a problem even adapt yourself to live with the problem, but it’ll still bite you in the ass every once in awhile till you solve it.
I really like that in Fionna and Cake Finn wears a blindfold again and it’s kinda like symbolism for Finn still being in denial about Jake and avoiding his feelings.
I always think of Jake as more Taoist/zen Buddhist. Let go of what isn't affecting you now and live presently are big parts of those philosophies.
I think I needed a video like this on a personal level (Also, I love how kinda dark this episode is)
The show ended a few years ago and it is still teaching us new things every year
Love your content!😊😊😊❤❤❤
I thought this episode was just a recreation of an episode from Star Trek: Next Generation. I don't remember what the takeaway from both was, but I know Jean-Luc remembered his life fake life in the end, because the whole thing started with a cursed flute that took him back in time to a long dead civilization who wanted to be remembered as real people.
Don’t sweat the small stuff. Jake’s advice is great for mugs and failed jokes. Losing your family is not small stuff and should indeed be sweated.
This video really spoke to me on a personal level. Ever since I'd discovered the philosophy of stoicism, I had always put the idea on a pedistal and would feel guilty about letting my problems bother me or mulling over a loss. It would often make me feel insecure about my sense of masculinity, but now as i'm a little bit older, I can see the balance between being logical and being human.

You were saying?
Having MDD and CPTSD, I intellectualized my feelings a lot. I thought I could table my feelings and get rid of them and never feel them again. And then I had a triggering moment in my life that sent me into a MONTHS long spiral and depressive episode. I learned that it was okay to be upset or bothered by something. And while I still struggle with feeling my feelings, I’ve gotten a lot more gracious with myself. Things still bother you, even if it’s a little bit and that’s okay.
The Adv Time episode that hit hardest for me was “I Remember You.” Probably would have anyway but certainly helped by the fact that I saw it just a month after my father was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. 😢
This is a good video. It's great to see a creator on the spectrum. I appreciate your analysis and vulnerability.
never noticed the foreshadowing of Finn's arm
I Remember You. That episode hit me so hard, I had to draw fan art of it that night. I still openly cry when I hear the song. If you've ever had to watch someone you love slowly forget you, this episode will wreck you. I even had Tom Kenny (Ice King) sign my art, expressing to him how much that episode really meant, outside a silly little fantasy cartoon.
I'd forgotten about sky raining knives😂. Like WTF.
A yes the deep episode that reflects on letting small things go and not overthink our every actions. By fucking a pillow. TWICE
Don't knock fuckin pillows till you try it
The episode I still talk about is when Jake threw a party for Fin on the train and the train ended up plummeting off a cliff only to be caught by sheer luck by a massive pile of gelaten. Fin then asks Jake if he had planned that and Jake just says so no we could have died there, the episode ends with Fin looking up at that cliff realizing how precious his life is and how it all could have ended with no big fight no goodbye just full stop train fall splat.
This ep is AT’s take on the Star Trek: TNG episode “The Inner Light”, which is one of the best episodes of Trek ever made. AT did lived up to the task of making their version great as well. There are more Trek references in the ep as well, like Frakes being Adult Finn’s VA, and also the hermit guy is voiced by the same actor as the Grand Nagus in Trek. The following episode to this, “BMO Lost” has Levar Burton (Geordie) as the voice of Bubble/Air. Also, Finn playing the flute after this is a reference to Picard after the Inner Light. I’d love to see a comparison video analysis of the two versions. Like in the Inner Light, the world that Picard experiences is doomed to end because of a supernova, and the whole community knows it. It gets pretty existential as well.
Puhoy also has one of my fave AT one-liners: “i remember.. when i was dad,” “im not dead yet!”
Great video!
I have ADHD, sensory processing disorder, anxiety, and OCD, and trying to logic through my emotions is so RELATABLE.
Genuinely, your description of your anxiety is the most similar, all the way down to worrying about inconveniencing strangers. Its almost a relief to hear someone describe an experience so similar
Are you not aware that in this society women can do no harm, especially with how cute you are? Why worry when everything you do is excused by simps who think they got a chance if they defend you no matter what you do? Looks fade, beter make use of them while you can, take over the world with your simp army @@carolinekaufman2210
The Hall of Egress makes you question everything.
This is reminiscent of Jake and Finn's entire life and afterlife. Finn still through his entire life, didnt want to let go of Jake who passed away decades before, and Jake had already moved on and was enlightened in the afterlife as fulfilled. Finn learned to let Jake go, and Jake learned to hang onto his attachment to Finn, and they were able to reincanate together.
This is such a cool episode and that ending hits in the gut so hard.
I do believe the knife storm is because of Finn's not wanting to go to Flame Princess and actually working it out because if you notice that they don't try to stop the night storm even though we have a reason why it happened. And also because the Adventure Time World kind of works on how you view things and you can literally mold the fabric of reality. And we also know within lore that Finn is a cosmic powerful being there's a high chance when he wanted to do a little bit of escapism and imagined being alone in a empty void because it's the Adventure Time world something had to fill that empty void
every video of yours i watch makes me want to be your friend more and more, the tism is strong
JD Vance loved this episode
That's the second time I've here of some experiencing a full life and waking up afterwards.
This was a great video. Makes me want to rewatch that episode lol I loved that you talked about your experience with your struggles too. Glad you've been kind to yourself 💕
Can't rationalize every feeling and thought you have? Skill issue.
Yes, I'm in therapy...
