WAS PEPPERMINT BUTLER TRYING TO MAKE A DEAL WITH THE DEVIL

Quite literally in fact.

This means that Hunson Abadeer is not the literal devil, but rather, a transdimensional wannabe ruling over his own evil empire.

So, if the Nightosphere…

Should have payed more attention to those episodes.
The new enemy is going to be the devil himself. He’s going to possess CB and everyone is doooooomed.

Doom Time?

 You know it.
Finn’s going to go all mecha and kill satan himself.

Oh my god

Finn is in fact the second coming of Jesus

And he’ll go and slay the Antichrist

Holy mother of god.

WHELP

EVERYONE REJOICE

I swear I will love AT so much if this turns out to even be partially true

Sorry dudes! While Good and Evil is somewhat clearly defined in AT, what is defined as “God” and the “Devil” are pretty vague in the world.

Take for instance the opening scene:

Here, Peppermint Butler was trying to summon a Shadow Demon. Around him was a Bull, a Lion and a Winged Man. In Iconography, these represent three of the four Christian Evangelists:

  • The Bull is Luke the Evangelist. The Bull represents sacrifice.
  • The Lion is Mark the Evangelist. The Lion represents courage.
  • The Winged Man is Matthew the Evangelist. The Winged Man represents Jesus’ human incarnation.
  • The Eagle is for John the Evangelist. The Eagle represents mankind’s goal of union with God. (x)

Peppermint Butler was summoning on a downward pointing triangle. A downward pointing triangle symbolized:

  • The Holy Trinity (Father, Son, Holy Spirit)
  • Water element
  • Female energy
  • “Descent into the physical world” (x)

Now, Peppermint Butler already seems powerful enough; I doubt he needs to make a deal with any devil. He seems to be trying to bind the shadow demon, that is, he’s trying to control it. That explains why Cinnamon Bun is inside the Amber Casing that originally housed the Lich.

Controlling demons is a staple in the magical arts (like the Lemegeton). Demons have all sorts of responsibilities and have different powers depending on their rank. I won’t even guess what Peppermint Butler originally wanted before Broco arrived.

*  *  *

What is God and what is the Devil remain rather vague in AT. There are creator gods (Grob Gob Glob Grod), messianic analogs (Abe Lincoln), Lords of Evil (Hunson), but they never behave as what is expected of them (Hunson tries to be a good father and loves Marceline, Abe is all weird and spastic).

As AT is inspired by Dungeons and Dragons, you can tell who is good and evil based on their actions. But they differ from D&D by characters having no “natural” alignment. Except maybe the Lich, nothing is ever programmed, or hardwired. They’re totally free individuals.

Can you think of another AT character that is expected to be Evil but in reality is very much free?

As for the relationship aspect (including Finn’s reactions), I’ll let other people more qualified analyze that.

EDIT: I originally noted an Eagle was missing. Revelationdis corrected me. I’ve edited this post to reflect that. Thanks dude! :)

Q:I really appreciate that you used Dad's Dungeon as an example. Considering the dilemma Jake went through, it will really help me a lot in the character driven portion

leax

You’re welcome. Jake’s conflict is really interesting. It shows the hold our parents have over us even after they’re dead. And whether or not it’s our gratitude we have of them that becomes compulsion to follow them against our better natures, their influence in undeniable.

On thinking about it some more, we’ve already seen that powerful influence from way back in the episode “Crystals Have Power”! Jake freaked out that his destiny was to hurt people! Even though it has always been to the contrary!!

Episodic References are cool and all, but thematic references? These people are pretty awesome for doing that :)

On Writing Adventure Time Fics

image

I’m always cheering people on when they plan big projects. It takes guts to do something like that with all the unknowns present. Good luck dudette!

The advice in the next lines are largely my understanding on how I would go about solving the challenge you’ve presenting. It’s not the be all and end all, but it’s something to think about as you go about checking the opinions of other people (like the venerable writer HVK)

Fan works are nice because you can do whatever you what with the characters, from faithful recreations to Prebubs beheading Marcy. No one approach is better than the other, but there is satisfaction to writing characters as close to the show’s personality as possible, because if you think about it, it’s their personality and actions that drew you to the characters in the first place.

breakfastkingdompubliclibrary: Fan Comics Rec: I’ve fallen in love with Illeity’s AT comics.  Not only are they beautifully composed and colored, they also pay wonderful attention to character complexities and provide credible bits of missing backstory (especially for PB, Marceline, Finn, Ice King/Simon and Flame Princess).  The comics work in famous quotes and song lyrics, managing to be gently philosophical while still retaining the humor and playful spirit of the series.  I especially like this last aspect because I think it can be really easy to lean too heavily to the serious side when exploring character dynamics and relationships; I’ve seen a lot of really good AT fanworks that nevertheless lose the irreverence that’s present even in the darkest episodes of the show.  Illeity also does some sweet Gravity Falls comics that posit Mabel and Dipper’s world as a prequel of sorts to Ooo. TL;DR version, if you love Adventure Time, do yourself a favor and read some of these comics.   DeviantArt Tumblr Thanks :)  To paraphrase Camus: “Existence is rebellion.” The world too tragic and violent? Be decent and struggle to be happy. Fandom brimming with inaccurate characterization and Marceline/ Simon angst-fest? Do your best to portray REAL people and draw Marceline and Simon brimming with love. Annoyed by people freaking out over the lack of Marcy in “The Suitor?” Discuss the needlessness of any on-screen confirmation to make a ship meaningful and promote the episode with excitement. Create. Laugh. Cry. Rebel :)

Q:I know you don't watch anime that much but have you heard of the very recent anime 'Shingeki No Kyojin'? I'm not an anime junkie either but this anime is so mind-bogglingly amazing and so freaking awesome that it just made me want to spread the word around. I politely implore you to at least check it out when you have the time and tell me your own thoughts. But I think I should warn you that it's not for the weak of heart and stomach if you do decide to do such a thing. Thank you very much.

paragonflynn

The tumblr of my brother’s girlfriend’s cousin reblogged a few posts on it, but I never paid much attention until I’ve seen your recommendation, so yeah, I’ll check it out soon. 

The fact that it’s not a plot that just goes on and on (like One Piece) is something I can appreciate as well. Cheers!

Q:You also like Reed Richards as an Aspie? I THINK I JUST DIED AND WENT TO AWESOMEVILLE (the proper name Heaven has once they put some thought into serious marketing)

hvkryter

Yeah! It’s hard to explain, but making Reed Richards an Aspie feels like a satisfying choice for his character. :)

Q:Can you ship five characters(from any anime, manga, cartoon, or comic) into a family of five? It can be of any combination. ex: A father, a mother, two daughters, and a son. A single dad, a grandfather, a daughter, and two dogs. An aunt and uncle, a single mother, two sons. ect.

wondftba

Wait, do you mean romantically shipping family members from different series? Or do you mean doing a crossover of characters from different series with a family dynamic?

I’ll assume you meant the latter. Of course it’s possible, but you’ll need some kind of explanation on how they can exist in the same universe or how a character can become a son but still have the same personality, history, etc. When people read fanfics, they usually have a prior understanding of a character’s personality and history.

You’ll be spending too much time trying to explain that so instead, you should have the characters keep their histories and somehow have them live in an apartment, interacting.
