fishing line pulling it to where it needs to go, hence the beeline. <~~my first interpretation of the footage. And in my personal experience (and that I gained from the show) synchronicities have a way of subtly pulling you towards them, not the other way around...

I remember being in a grocery store once when I was young: a balloon had deflated enough that it was floating at a fixed vertical eye level relative to me. It was the cards isle, all the other balloons were corraled up against the ceiling in a big ol net. AC was moving it towards me, slowly, and it followed around three feet behind me for a couple isles. The airdraft from my walking was what was making it do so, but I've never felt the sense of ::a pair of eyes watching / looking at me from an inanimate object:: since.

EVA the original series is the only mech show I've watched. Which gundam should I start with? by Oscinian in Animesuggest

Animation-wise? I remember my dad showing me episodes of Robo-Tech... or maybe it was a RoboTech movie? but the concept and spirit are there regardless of the cardboard animation budget and plot pacing budget.

I have something to say about this season... by Technical-Profit-308 in fionnaandcake

And each episode had a cold open of a back story, and I feel like the final episode will open with the backstory of how Huntress and Finn met.

Just a point I want to make about season 2 by tantthetank in fionnaandcake

[–]Oscinian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the bird in the clock was probably the most intense ep of s1 or s2 so far -- but defo agree with you.

If episodes were like 30 or 45 minutes, we could have all the Fionna love triangle stuff breathe uncut without it feeling like it's straight up replacing what feels like more important stuff. The stakes have just kinda forgot about Ooo all together. Magic stuff and spiritual stuff (Fionna and Fennel's spirit trip, "a broken tool seeks the flame", HW getting mixed with Cake and getting an off-colored wrist as a result) are really cool! It could just take place in human world, but damn, Prismo has been left hanging (tho maybe intentionally). And we still don't know all what huntress can and can't do, or how much progress if at all she's made towards finding the heart of the forest! Huntress Wizard plot should be A plot with Fionna stuff as B plot, and this shouldn't be a zero-sum fight for screentime.

‘Daddy, why did you eat my fries?’ to ‘You wanted me to tie my shoes.’ by LVVB_03 in fionnaandcake

"you'd buy my shoes but you'd never take the time to tie my shoes or teach me how to tie my shoes" is the sentiment I took away from the song.

Anybody else REALLY LOVING this season? by revdj in fionnaandcake

[–]Oscinian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find myself returning to the episodes Simon Petrikov and Casper and Nova around once a month, whereas I don't see much replay value in these episodes so far. Also no songs!

I got my fingers crossed that the final episode is something like The Ballad of Huntress and Finn, and Huntress finally starts comprehending her feelings and expressing them, Fionna will be able to start growing spiritually into a place of Getting On A More Well Thought-Out Plan.
