This is why in shows like adventure time you can’t just skip a “filler episode” because it’s not interesting enough or because the lore seemingly isn’t present. I understand skipping on a rewatch but at least once watching these episodes are sometimes crucial. Though I’ll be honest, I stuck through the whole show directly to the end since I was barely a teenager when it ended so I’m sure that impacted my opinion somewhat

Finn’s arc throughout the show is probably one of the most interesting ones I’ve seen. He starts out as your regular goofy protagonist wanting to just have fun and go on adventures with his friends, but after some time the curtains start to fall for his reality. He learns about his consequences and tries to amend for them as well as grow as a person.

I think it might've been worth mentioning the episode in between the breakup and the apology, the episode "The Red Throne," where the Flame King and Flame Lord take control of the throne and Flame Princess and Cinnamon Bun (begrudgingly) ask Finn for help. In this episode, Finn, to put simply, is a douchebag. Barely acknowledging the severity of the situation(Flame Princess was poisoned, in very weak state, and just lost everything), and bragging about how he's been "working on himself" while also asking out of pocket inappropriate questions to Cinnamon Bun like "Is she seeing anyone?" and "Do you think I still have a chance with her?" I think the contrast between Finn in that episode and Finn in this episode really puts a lot more meaning behind Flame Princess saying "You've really grown up."

[@TheZexal]

Exactly what I was thinking too, especially because Finn gives a very insincere apology again in this episode, only to follow up by asking if this meant him and FP could get back together now. In most other shows, this is where the audience can expect the protagonist to really apologize for real this time and finally learn and become better, but I really respect the AT writers for subverting that expectation. They give Finn many chances to make the same or similar mistakes time and again because truly acknowledging your faults and changing for the better is much more difficult and non-linear than many storylines are willing to depict. And even before this episode, I really like that from the inception of their relationship up to this point, the seeds of red flags and subtle toxic traits had already been sown all throughout the seasons.

[@BeachioSandschannel]

[@50Steaks68]

I never thought of it that way but yeah

[@rompevuevitos222]

Probably should be mentioned that what is being considered a "wet dream" here is just that he sees Flame Princess fighting as amazing. He just really liked it when he saw her fight and wanted to see her do it again. Even in the sneak peak at his adult self. He always liked combat and he is dangerously unfazed by mortal danger. (Which does make sense when you consider he grew up in OOO fighting monsters)

[@yepthisisthechannel]

Yeah, I meant to put a bit more emphasis on that, but thanks for mentioning it! I was gonna say the exact same thing. Since he grew up fighting monsters and villains, seeing his partner be good at a passion of his only made him more attracted to her.

[@deedeekreep9139]

[@kidprime6863]

But even if Finn only instigated the fight to decipher what the Cosmic Owl was trying to say, it still gives me a rotten taste in my mouth that Finn took pleasure in it at the same time. He even said that he felt "strange pleasure" in it and doesn't understand why. They character assassinated Finn and ruined his relationship with Flame Princess for the sake of drama and adult humor. If they didn't like these two together, couldn't they have written a better break up?

[@krowbutt]

@@kidprime6863it’s supposed to leave a rotten taste in your mouth. finn grew up with many people watching the show, and the writers showed the dangers of toxicity in a relationship, and showed that even good people (finn) can do bad things. if you believe it was for “drama” and “adult humour” thats your choice, it’s storytelling, and thus, subjective, but if it was just for “adult humour” it would not have been such a long running plot point

[@rompevuevitos222]

@@kidprime6863 What are you talking about? He is a teenager having a "weird dream". The whole show puts emphasis on growing up, and this is him growing up. That phase IS part of growing up, not a joke. They broke up because the relation just wasn't good. Flame princess was a love-starved ex-prisoner. Finn was a confused teenager with a love for violence and adventure that wasn't very socially smart. Finn never met someone like her, and she never met someone like Finn. So both had interest in each other. But just because there is interest doesn't mean the relationship will magically work. They had different goals and wants in life.

[@nach0699]

It's so funny. I had recently gone through this development myself. I'm now twenty years old, but a few years ago I started dating a girl, and we were both roughly 16-17 years old. Like Finn, I made stupid mistakes that ultimately broke her trust and left her feeling betrayed and disappointed in me. At the time, I wasn't really taking care of myself, and I surrounded myself with dark influences and had a very limited worldview. We were together for a year, and after a while I broke up with her. At the time, I didn't realize what I had even done wrong. Now over the past few years I've realized how I completely and utterly I failed in the relationship. Sure, I was a kid, and she was not perfect by any means either, but looking back I can only cringe at how awful I was with her. Earlier, the beginning of 2024, she reached out to me for the first time in years, literally. We started talking again and for the first time, I had the opportunity to apologize for being a terrible person to her and putting her through the stress I put on her. She forgave me and told me I've grown as a person, that I'm actually refreshing to be around. If anyone read this, let this be proof you can change yourself. Maybe you can't undo the past, but you can change something if you set your mind to it.

There is a watch guide on reddit that outlines what is filler, mandatory, recommended, etc... The fact that Bun Bun is said to be filler is mind boggling, this scene pulls all the weight needed to be recommended at least

[@BraxonGG]

In any case, I believe that taking into account what's filler or not is kinda the wrong way of doing this If you like the show and by extension it's world, then you would probably enjoy the "filler" episodes giving you more context on things and characters. Like, if you are just gonna be watching the absolute minimum because all you care about is the story going forward, you might as well just read some fan wiki, yk? Adventure time is nothing without its silly inconsequential adventures here and there

​@@BraxonGG I suppose. Personally runtime can be a barrier of entry for me, and super long form shows like Adventure Time tend to be an instant turn off in that respect. So for me to even begin to like the show and it's world by extension, I rely on watch guides to bridge the gap. Ended up using the watch guide, fell deep in love with the show about half way ish, finished it with the guide, then went back and watched all the filler, comparing it to the watch guide to see what I agreed/disagreed with...

But I wasn't clear and truthful, the person had thought that I also loved them as much as they did me. So after 3 months i finally told them I don't love them but see them as a friend and it wasn't a good feeling because the whole conversation was rushed, even though I was truthful i felt dirty and evil. Everyone told me "It's not your problem now" and things of the sort and instead of talking to them more I ran away from the problem not messaging them and going radio silence saying "I'm on Christmas break I'm too tired to talk to people". And now its 2025, I have to face to problem head on. Thank you for this video and opening my eyes. Have a great year. (sorry if the grammar here sucks I'm dyslexic)

I went through something similar, but on the other side of the story. I had just ended a relationship and entered another one. He had unfinished business and I was very intense. It wasn't long before we broke up, I saw him declaring to another girl. Our conversations were always awkward and now I know why, and decided that instead of a conversation, it would be better to walk away. At least in this case, I don't know. I wish you all the luck! This video made me feel better about myself.

[@snicksss]

I had a similar problem, except I rushed into the relationship without properly giving it thought. After a while they questioned if I actually liked them, so I was honest about wanting to just give it a try, because I wanted to believe that something could form, but in the end it didn't. My biggest regret was when I said something I didn't mean. I think I said things in a way that made it seem like I was just using them conveniently because they were the only person at the time who was willing to be in a relationship with me, but in reality it was *because* it was them that I was willing to give it a try. I enjoyed the time we spent together, and I wouldn't have even considered it if it were anyone else. But in the end I said all the wrong things in my apology without thinking before speaking and I've regretted it ever since. But now I'm wondering if it's too late to give a proper apology, because they are literally getting married now, so like, is it okay to bring up bad old memories when they are finding happiness? Wouldn't it be selfish of me to do that since I'm basically just trying to clear my conscience?

True, but change also doesn't happen overnight. It could take weeks, months, and years, and yet people still won't accept that the person could change.

[@adrienfialho1296]

@ i guess its just way too easy to say “im sorry” and not mean it. And how can we? I mean, we were taught since very little that if you feel like you did something wrong to say you’re sorry. But then, as we grow we eventually move past what we’ve settled in the past, intention change, the word and its meaning blur between what we feel and how we want others to feel about how we feel. When candid, it is felt, it’s in the delivery of the words, the waves of the sounds of our voices… and everything makes sense a little better

[@blanc6448]

@adrienfialho1296 it might just be because of youtube apologies feeling empty, but even myself, I wouldn't know what people would want from an apology. It's one thing to apologize, but what is seen as a good enough redemption to people?

Ngl, apologies are one of my biggest pet peeves, not because it's a bad idea or anything, you should definitely apologize when you do something wrong. The problem is how we are taught this. When I was young, I was the bullied kid, and people quickly learn that as long as you say "I'm sorry", then the teachers see the issue as resolved. No one learns anything, and just use the words to make empty or forced apologies that don't mean anything. Because of this, I ended up being emotionally reserved, developed anger issues, and have begun building trust issues and grudges. I never want to hear someone apologize, and I myself have stopped saying sorry. Instead, I actively try to help or undo whatever it was I was sorry about.

This really changed my view on how to properly apologize to someone... I remember watching this as a kid, pretty much the same as Finn.

I haven't gotten to this episode yet, I'm barley in season 3 of rewatching, but I feel like I understand the about of time and personal growth someone has to go through to not only apologize for something like that, but also the amount of maturity it takes to forgive something like that. It didn't make sense as a kid, because I hadn't made any long lasting mistakes like that before, but now that I have it makes sense. It ALL (mostly) makes sense.

Same here. I hurt someone. But we want different things. I want to go no contact, so I don't hurt them again. I've grown and realized I'm bad for them. They want me. I tried to talking to them about it but they said they needed me. It's so stupid. I wanna go no contact because I hurt them and they only wanna put themself in danger more. So I'll try to be safe for them, I'll fix myself for them.. but.. I don't know what will happen if I fail. What if they stay? So my new years resolution is going absolutely no contact with Frankie.

[@allfunandgamesuntil]

@Fredofbread you aren’t alone in this. i wish i could say more, but all i can say is im going thru smthn similar. if anything, boundaries are boundaries. ik it can seem selfish when you, the person who did the hurting, want to go no contact. but you’re doing it bc you care about the wellbeing of the person you hurt. which is what boundaries are meant to be about - wanting to make your dynamics healthy, even if there will no longer *be* a dynamic whatsoever when you go no contwct. (however: might be complicated if you’re only going to apologize to THEN enforce the boundary. be careful if you’re going to do what i did.)

[@Fredofbread]

@@allfunandgamesuntil This really affected me, I'm kind of glad there are other people who are dealing with the same- er.. similar stuff... But yeah. I mean the relationship didn't start out toxic. I am pretty sure they are masochistic.. I hate myself for it but I strangled them at one point. Turns out they took that as a sign to ask me out later. Yeah.. a lot happened and I hate every bit of me. I've tried my best to do more than apologize, make up for it, be supportive of anything and everything I can.. yet.. they still won't not forgive me and say they need me. I hurt them a lot (not physically of course..on purpose. I am clumsy and I ran into them a lot.) and.. I can't forgive myself. I plan on making 100 paper snowflakes for them and giving it to them and since their birthday is Jan 28th I wanna give them the birthday gift of never seeing or hearing about me ever again. At first I thought I may do this and admire them from a distance (not in a stalker way) and leave secret messages as a way for myself but.. honestly I'm debating just not even making the snowflakes as I've tried my best for them and I've failed. Just made it worse every time I try to fix it. I may just go non contact forever without saying anything else. As I've said before I talked about it but.. they lied and say they need me. I don't care if the think they need me, they are lying to themself. I think that if they give me a A-Okay for leaving them I'll go and kms. Which I won't. I hope whatever is going on with you will be okay, seems like you are trying to run away (just like me) without saying anything else and I am as you said, in the same boat. Sometimes apologies are the worst when the victims are oblivious to what the abuser, or hurter in this case, has done wrong or maybe they just don't care due to the illusion of rose tinted lenses. The person who hurt the other now has a choice, try and explain it, flat out just leave due to safety reasons or start manipulating/taking advantage of the victim. People never talk about how the problem person has a choice. Probably because we as humans are selfish so we usually will take advantage of others but if you are truly sorry for your actions you won't.

5:38 i kind of have the opposite problem where i have to constantly choose between staying true to myself, my values and what i believe is right and wrong Or staying friends with certain people I've always chosen to not accept things that are unacceptable in my eyes but sadly that lead to (and STILL leads to) a lot of burnt bridges and heartbreak on my end, but I'd rather keep my integrity than lose myself in keeping bad company

[@lemonlordminecraft]

I think about the "But I said I was sorry" scene frequently. I encounter far too many adults still stuck in child Finn's mindset.

[@ghostfieldwastaken]

this video honestly was a punch in the gut of relatability for me. i just got out of a 2-month long relationship with someone i thought i loved in the same way they loved me. they did everything for me and loved me unconditionally and i couldnt reciprocate and only learned why after we took a break for a bit. when we started talking again i felt this pit of despair that brought me close to doing something id regret for the rest of my life just to avoid the conversation, but we had it and decided to completely cut each other off. i feel this overwhelming sense of guilt still over everything, but itd be a lie to say i didnt feel relieved to get my emotions out. im still not over the hump that is the guilt in stringing her along for that long without understanding my own emotions, but im trying to learn how to forgive myself. it isnt like i didnt love her, just not as strongly as she did for me, and it kills me thinking about how long i let those feelings go unaddressed. i have a lot of my own issues i need to address too, issues that i didnt realize i had until i met her. im so grateful for her, but i wish to god she didnt have to be a lesson in the stepping stone of life. i miss her to death every day, but i know itll be okay. i know i still have a long way to go before i can truly understand the damage i caused and move forward in life to hopefully better things, but i still think i am immersed in the victim mentality and its so difficult to escape it. this video has been so eye-opening for me, and i know with more time ill be able to reflect on things properly and appropriately without feeling this way. thank you

[@vukara_the_frankencroc]

Instead of sorry, I actually wanna give you a thank you the past year. I’ve been dealing with a lot of trying to build myself back up after something really bad happens involving losing someone that I thought was a good friend, but turned out to be a hurtful bully it took a lot for me to build myself back up and get past some things, but watching this finally gave me the strength to both forgive myself and to let go and to acknowledge where I went wrong and what I’m doing right in the now just like flame princess said I’ve grown a lot ever since that moment I formed new friends became a lot stronger than I was before and I think this video really helped me take the final leap to let go and move on towards this new year so with that being said, I’d like to say thank you and I hope that your channel thrives and prosperous to levels you could never even imagine.

"How can you play victim in the hole that was dug, when you're the one holding the shovel?" Damn.

[@LiteDisc]

5:05 I disagree that forgiveness is *always* the healthiest option, I think there are some things you can do that are so boundary or morally wrong that the person will never forgive you, and that's totally fair, but I always think to a line that Scroobius Pip had in "Waiting for the Beat to Kick In," which was: 'If you can't forgive and forget, how's this, forget forgiving and just accept that that's it.' Whether or not forgiveness is a healthy option for the wronged party or not, acknowledging the feelings and attempting to move on from them is absolutely the healthiest option.

[@kaos1109]

Yes, that's for the most extreme cases, but it's not healthy to assume all cases are extreme cases. Sometimes the hurt is bad, like the example of the video, but the parties were able to move on, apologize and forgive, even if it took time (understandably so, since they were both kids at the time things happened). I agree with this point, forgiving can't always be the thing to do, but one must try to realize the extent of the wrongdoing, because when not even forgiving is an option, is actually abundantly clear.

[@derpkipper]

You didnt listen to anything he said after that dude. He says "forgiveness isnt one size fits all. You just need to be able to come to terms with what happened and move on and you dont have to reinvite that person in ur life." I'm paraphrasing here. I think u jumped the gun. I do the same thing sometimes but even at that I still gotta be real with u here

[@derpkipper]

That being said, i think I've been thru a similar level of trauma where the other person doesnt deserve forgiveness. Forgiveness i think is a loaded term. Most people mean that you should erase someone who deeply hurt you of their wrongdoings. I dont think that should be the association. I rly think what this person meant here was to be able to move on and let go, and if I'm honest...be able to forgive yourself for having gotten into that situation in the first place

[@etheriousjackal5577]

I remember back when I was a teen, I had wronged a friend and she eventually snapped and told me off so I kinda just ghosted her and we stopped talking. But later on, once I realized what a dick I was, it kept eating me up knowing that I never apologized even though it had already been months and how sending her a message would be extremely awkward so it was better left unsaid. But the more I thought about it the more bottled up my feelings got and I remember giving her a full apology like almost a year later and she was understanding and accepted it. It didn't really bring us all that much closer but it still makes feel so much better knowing that we left off at more friendly terms even if we aren't friends rn.

[@Jiebidayo]

"it hurts to lose people in your life, but what hurts even worse, is losing yourself in the long run" that hit deep

[@z3r0out]

In my short time on this earth, I've done a fair amount of wrong. I either thought I was right or I just didn't fully understand what it is I did wrong. I spent a good while saying bad things about the other party because I wanted a reason to be right. I eventually realized I needed to grow up. After a lot of time to think about things and to work on myself, I was going to make up for what I did and the things that happened. Yeah, it was awkward talking to ex partners and old friends who parted ways after everything, but it felt good when things were settled. Funny enough, every person I reached out to was chill and we let bygones be bygones. I feel a lot lighter nowadays, and I'm going to keep working on myself

[@A_Nanny_Moose]

After finishing the show as a kid, I went back and watched this episode over for years to understand it.

[@MynameisnotGraey]

I think my favorite part of AT is their take on morality. The only thing that can be considered true, incarnated evil is a monster with one drive to eliminate all life. But the INCARNATION of good? He’s just a messed up kid, that always just *tries* to do the right thing. But he never had true malice in his heart. There’s so many things you can get from that interesting dichotomy, and it’s place in the lore.

[@Hero_IRL1]

5:26 I have a hard time doing that, i’m always so hell bent on getting that person back in my life that i’m not even focused on apologizing, I just want them back for myself..I definitely need some work in that area

I think the key is to realize what about that person made you feel like you needed them and whether or not it is truly worth trying to get them back if you can learn to find it in yourself. Best of luck friend.

[@LucasMiddleNameandLastname22]

i adored Finn having such a character arc throughout the show and coming to make mistakes, learn, adapt, and grow up, i always interpreted him being always referred to as ''Finn The Human'' to not just be a title, but referencing how he IS as a character and how he changed.

[@skythigh]

I'm so happy to see somebody else talking about this specific scene. Finn is a great character not only because he's a big-time hero but also because of moments like these. He didn't apologize to rid himself of guilt or to gain FP's company in any capacity; he apologized simply because it was the right thing to do. His compassion for others drives his character.

[@boostedjamiera]

this hit very close to home for me since i recently lost one of my best friends of nearly 6 years because i was immature and blind to how i was hurting them. i've spent months reflecting and growing, fixing the parts of me that caused it to happen in the first place, dealing with the guilt of what i did, but i haven't been able to get over losing them. they were a very large figure in my life for a long time, and losing them also cut me off from some of my other friends, which basically flipped my life upside down since we go to the same school. this video got me a little closer to accepting this loss and moving on, thank you so much. i also really have to watch adventure time...

man. i've been looking for those kinda videos for a long, long time. it seems like as time passes, people are getting less and less empathic, less and less sensitive and caring less about their own feelings. as the episode, this video says a lot in just a few 7 minutes. might be one of the most humanized videos I've watched in a long time. congrats man, really touched me and made me think in a lot of things that were just freezed among these stupid reels that we're addicted

I’m glad it struck you, and I’m happy to be making videos that get people thinking. Wishing you the best. :)

[@wolfcl0ck]

Very solid video. I appreciate the additional thoughts analyzing how things like this work in a real-world context. You're very right in how, while Finn and FP were able to rekindle some friendship after making up, you can't always expect the best outcome like that to happen in real life, and that's okay, because that's how life works. Sometimes, even when both sides understand that the other side has grown up and truly regrets what happened, there's no way to rekindle what was snuffed out. And that's okay. Life is fluid. To move on is to prove that one has learned what they needed to learn. It's a very, very difficult process to do. I know full well that I personally haven't moved on from a lot of emotional baggage that I carry even though I need to because to do so is just very, very difficult. But hey, that's part of being human.

[@verdeon493]

The difference between a honest apology and a fake one is just the acknowledge of the feelings of the other person. If you apologize because you feel bad or because you wanna fix things or even if you want to stop the sadness of the other person, you are doing it wrong if you don't acknowledge what the other is feeling and the reasons behind it.

[@mr.handsomecoffeecup2406]

This is insane. I'm quite literally going through the same situation myself with my ex. It wasn't until I called her to apologize after months of no communications and a half assed apology. We're good friends and while my expectation was that we'd get back together, I'm happy that we both finally had a talk and clarified everything. I don't necessarily believe in fate, but it's weird how coincidental seeing this video on my feed was after trying to internalize what I was thinking and feeling after our talk. Thank you for the upload. Truly.

[@ItsChevnotJeff]

I would also like to mention that Finn wasn't alone in pursuing the dreams, as the moment he mentioned Cosmic Owl to Jake he immediately urged him to get the exact same dream again to see what it could mean, only for the Owl to twll Finn he fumbled hard and dipped, so it was a combination of both Finn's puberty kicking in and needing help, Jake's experiences with bizzare entities often resulting in more bizzare consequences, and Cosmic Owl just being in the wrong dream or something(we know in one episode he could choose any dream he wants as long as he has a coin for it and might choose to go to an entirely unrelated one for reasons outside his job, be it selfish or otherwise)

[@yepthisisthechannel]

I think the Cosmic Owl was there initially because this was a huge crossroad in Finn’s life. Was he going to act selfishly for his own pleasure, or work through his feelings and be open with FP about them? Once he had made his choice, the Cosmic Owl only said one thing, “you blew it”. The first appearance was almost like a warning saying, “Hey Finn, what you do next is going to carry great significance in your life”. Unfortunately, Finn and Jake have a pretty narrow view of these premonition dreams. Instead of really analyzing their meaning or personal significance, they think the best course of action is to recreate what is happening within the dream in real life. Even the Ice King ending the episode saying, “you blew it” showed that, yes, Finn had made the dream a reality, but not in the way he had hoped for.

[@cookieblobber]

In fairness though, he only showed up in the second dream after he intentionally pitted Ice King against Flame Princess and got her hurt. So by then Finn was already screwing up acting selfishly and should've tried to consider if what he's doing to be the right move since he was hurting someone he loved just to see the Cosmic Owl again. Him trying to get the third dream to happen only was just furthering the damage he started and could've stopped himself from

[@resolution7482]

To me, a real apology is taking time to humble yourself and accept to whoever that you're wrong, show regret, and promise to improve and make it up to someone while following through

[@xolaxander]

Thanks for this video man. I was going through a similar situation just like Finn’s a year ago. During my last year of college, I was texting this female classmate of mine who was my friend since the first semester we met. And one day last year, we were having our usual texting time just talking and joking. And when she asked me for this worksheet for our class, I gave it to her and when she said thank you, I said “your welcome my peasant.” After I said that, she took it to offense. Even though I did mean it in a disrespectful or offended way, it still made her feel comfortable and after that day she saw me in a different light. We didn’t speak to each other for a couple of days and when I decided to text her about the situation, she said that me not texting her back for those days felt like I wasn’t really sorry about the situation. And after I apologized two times and explained myself, the damage was already done. She told me that she doesn’t hate me or think of me as the worse person. But we couldn’t be friends anymore. During our last few days of college, she didn’t call, text, or ever spoke to me again. I was sad and angry at myself and also he because I felt like she should have tried contacting me to handle the situation. But I know at the end of the day it was my fault for not considering her feelings and realizing she’s not the type of person that jokes around like that. Even though it’s been a year already, I’m still going through a little bit of the process of moving on and forgiving myself. I know this message was super long but I really just wanna say thank you again and God Bless you for this video.🙏🏾

[@jazay591]

The worst thing you did there was make an awkward out of pocket joke. Ur main problem is profusely apologising and being so caught up in what one person thinks. Move on with your life, learn the social tact lesson you should learn, it's not a heavy thing, and get on with it.

[@jazay591]

Did you break up with her for a bad reason?

[@SirShady0201]

I actually went through this not too long ago. I was like 13-14 years old. There was this one girl I was head over heels with and that paired with social issues like autism just didn't pair well. One time I visited her to stay the night. We had lots of fun but when I left she suddenly stopped talking to me like before. Back then I never understood what I did wrong but nowadays I do. Like Finn, I did really stupid things and that ultimately was what broke the friendship. At the time I also tried apologizing, not fully understanding the consequences of what I had done. I honestly have no idea when but sometime we started talking again. I apologized once again but at that time I must admit I still didn't fully get it. I have no idea how I worded it but if I had to guess it was once again half assed and I didn't understand it. Let's skip to last year, we talked from time to time, not a lot but it happened. At that time all the shitty things from my past finally reached me. I understood how terrible I was and wanted to apologize to a lot of people I had wronged, starting with this one person. I started by telling her that I had wronged a lot of people and she was one of them. I went into detail that I understood what I did wrong and that I was truly sorry. After 7 minutes I finally had an answer. She told me that we all made mistakes and that the past is unchangeable. She followed up by telling me that it's okay and she has found her peace with it, has found a way to forgive but also apologized for her part in these mistakes from the past. After reading this I started crying, feeling relief as I was so scared all this time of even speaking about this subject. We did talk, yes but never was the subject mentioned. All the more was I happy though as I felt like this was a good and big step for me towards becoming a better person, better than what I had been. Change doesn't come immediately. It might not even come during your first try, as happened with me. Maybe it takes multiple tries. Hell, it took me 8 years. But trust me, my friends, it will happen but only if you allow it. Peace

You don't say sorry to be forgiven, you say it because the other person deserves to hear it.

[@franklensayce9943]

I met this girl during the quarantine, and we became lovers when I was 17. She was my first love, and at the start, I put in all my effort to give her the warmth and affection I thought she deserved. I wasn’t perfect, but I genuinely tried. However, things became complicated when she fell out of love, and it really broke me. I apologized, convinced myself I wasn’t enough, and begged her to stay. I even told myself I was willing to change for her, believing that was the only way to fix things, but looking back, I see now that I was manipulating her to stay, ignoring the fact that she was clearly unhappy. She kept telling me she was exhausted, that I was giving her mixed signals, and that we should go our separate ways. But I couldn’t accept it. I thought she was worth fighting for, so I became needy and lost myself in the process. I was too focused on her, trying to fix things, and it only ended up hurting her more. Eventually, she blocked me on everything and said she hated me, that my presence made her angry. After that, she got back together with her ex, the one she dated before me, and they’ve been together for two years now. For some reason, the thought that she hated me still bothered me. I eventually reached out to apologize, hoping it would give me closure and help me move on. Surprisingly, she didn’t block me immediately. She replied and said she forgave me, but that she had found someone else and loved him deeply. I told her I wasn’t trying to get back with her, just seeking forgiveness, but her response left me numb. I didn’t feel any relief or happiness-just complete emptiness. It hit me harder than I expected, and I couldn’t sleep afterward. I saw a picture on social media of her with her family and her boyfriend during Christmas, and it hit me hard. That was the kind of moment I had always imagined us having together-the kind of happiness I was hoping to build with her. Seeing it with him, though, made me feel lost. I didn’t know how to feel, but it stung to think that it was so easy for him to achieve something I had tried so hard for, and failed. It made me question everything, and I couldn’t help but feel like I had missed out on something I thought was possible for us.

[@Takoyakeeeeee]

This video and Finn honestly resonates with me well, about 4-5 years ago now I got out of a relationship that lasted for 4 years and it was pretty gnarly for me, and 14 year old me (yeah I know pretty young) was sitting there wondering why she broke up with me, after a few years of me being depressed, I finally realized that it wasn’t her or the world that was the issue, it was me. I always believed I was the issue when it came to our relationship ending, but I never truly understood WHY it was me, but after realizing it, I became better, I matured, and I learned as a human. I will never be able to say sorry to her, and frankly I don’t think I will either, so much time has passed, she’s moved on and I moved on, and we’re now living our new lives now, and I’m happy for her, so why bring up old dirt when we’ve already left it behind, y’know? Anyway I’m 18 now, and I can’t wait for what lies ahead for me

[@confusedjpg]

this video touches me to the bottom of my soul; i didn't really hurt anyone, it's a bit the other way around, but i do feel like a chicken running around with my head cut off and losing myself is probably what's going on. i'm not sure what to do and how to go about it, but i wanna go forward and get to a better point where i can appreciate more what happened and not lose my mind thinking about what COULD have happened. so, thank you, this is great.

[@moritakaishida7963]

Forgiveness is only the healthy option if they've earned your forgiveness. You can move on without forgiving

[@idkwhattoputhere-w7i]

This really helped. I've done some AWFUL things in the past, and I always kept trying to make excuses for myself and never gave a full apology and always tried to sugar coat it. But, this really gave me a reality check. I didn't know how to truly forgive myself because I didn't understand the severity of my actions. I was too held back of seeing the past again and it made it hard for me to reflect. I kept wanting to make excuses for my actions because I wanted to seem like less of a monster. This video gave me a reality check. I can't make excuses for my actions. Sure, I was dealt so many bad cards in my life. But, it was my decisions to make those. Even with my extreme mental barriers making it harder for me to achieve better-ness. I got to accept people aren't going to forgive me, and it's a really hard pill to swallow. My whole goal in life was to make the world a better place by being able to help others, and after I hurt so many people, made it seem impossible. I have to go forward knowing forgiveness will take time, and tons of people will not forgive me. But, I can't just give up on myself or I'll be taking the easy way out, and I won't truly be sorry.

Wow. This got recommended to me at the exact right time. I've been going through a really tough period of life right now and it feels like my hole is too deep to ever get out of. I know all the things about not giving up and moving forward but, idk for some reason this just clicked something for me. My mistakes are my own but there is a way out. Thanks for making this dude, I needed to hear it.

I’m really glad it helped. Wishing you the best as you climb your way out.❤️

6 months ago I made a mistake that altered my life completely, i hurt many people in the process and finding forgiveness with myself has proven to be the hardest lesson I’ve faced in my 22 years. I know what I’ve done, I’ve grown up, I’ve learned, i have a better understanding of myself and the world surrounding me. Seeing this video has helped me in ways i cannot describe. Forgiveness is a battle fought on all fronts and you must learn that it is the only way, thank you for the insight. I hope to better myself everyday, and I will continue to fight for love and forgiveness

How could I possibly blame the wind for the mess it made when I was the one who opened the window? 6:10

I had stopped watching Adventure Time(and really TV in general) well before this episode, so this was a nice video to find as someone who had really liked Finn & Flame Princess together only for Finn to do what he did. Getting to hear that Finn really did grow up and learn from this was some nice closure for me on a storyline I never had any real closure on previously. Also you cannot hide from me, Trails/Kiseki music! I know you when I hear you! I think it was Under the Moonlight you used at the end, but I'm not entirely sure.

Great analysis! You explained it perfectly. Amazing video!

Thank you so much! :)

Just gonna toss my idea into the pile as a person who used to struggle with apologizing before: the hardest idea to wrap around is usually admitting that YOU are the one who made the mistake, especially if you have never made one so detrimental before. When you make a mistake, especially if you're a person who has never made one or hates making them, you think that you're a bad person or are going to become one, ultimately hindering you from apologizing. Mistakes shouldn't be thought of as the things that make monsters, instead they are the cogs that turn to encourage change. Avoiding mistakes and not acknowledging them hinders you from changing into a better person. Making mistakes is fine as long as you acknowledge what you did and understand what went wrong, and most importantly, understand how you are going to move on from it, and how you are going to forgive yourself for it

I was waiting for someone to comment that. Thank you👌

Thanks for making this video man, this show has so much to teach us still even after it ended years ago. People interpreting and then sharing these meanings is just as important as the show presenting them to us in the first place. Its a proper reflection thought through and through with the effort to make it visible. Cheers

Adventure time let's goooooo, this is a great video, I really like your voice, it's really soothing

[@yepthisisthechannel]

Thank you! It’s my voice, so I can never really tell if it’s nice to listen to.😂 I appreciate the comment. :)

[@OMEGAXD303]

@yepthisisthechannel yeah i get that lol, i don't really know how other people hear my voice either, i used to think i have a deep voice until i listen to my own recoding

Wow dude, this video hit very close to home in a lot of ways personally since I went through very similar experiences and I've been working on myself a lot, I remember watching the episodes when I was a kid and I never fully understood it when I watched them for the first time, now I realize what the writers we're trying to tell with Finn's Journey on becoming a better person and I can't help but admire that and this video explains and shows that incredibly well while still going straight to the point on what a real apology is...nevertheless all I want to say is thank you for making this video since I know it's gonna help a lot of people and it has given me at least a lot to think about, have a good day!

[@yepthisisthechannel]

Thank you so much! I’m glad it’s given you a lot to stew on and it warms my heart that it’s helping so many people. :)
