Why there will NEVER be another soundtrack like Adventure Time

[@characterofyours]

I think a major part of the sound shift in the fionna series is bc fionna was originally created by the person who made bee and puppycat. It's an entirely new world with characters that have wildly different personalities and backstories (it's not set in an apocalypse), so the sound is different, and the songs are more solid cause of the tighter rigid storyline. And it reminds me of b & p cuz the soundtrack is more indie and sparkly(?) compared to adventure time's acoustic and personal sound.

[@ilord4555]

Wish they just kept it like Distant Lands but oh wellio

[@toriel1770]

It appears that Natasha (B&P creator) did not work on the spin-off, she was just credited as the person who originally created the characters :( Still, I'd love to see what it would be like if it had a little more of her comfy style of music and animation!!

5:20 “transcribed by Cadence Hira didn’t feel like transcribing this one just listen to it instead” Transcribing at its finest

[@christofferoff]

There's one non diagetic song you missed that's much later in Adventure Time - Greatly Appreciated by Ashley Erikson (who did the show's credits theme). It plays over a montage of Martin and Minerva during Islands. I think what makes it work is that that montage is deliberately pretty mundane, telling the story of two humans falling in love, improving themselves for each other, starting a family - I think it works so well there because this montage is almost like a different show entirely from Adventure Time.

[@CadenceHira]

you're completely right, good catch!!

[@DoroNijimaru]

might include the Apple Pie song too from s2e8 it was only a few seconds long, but still maybe longer than Cave Song

[@jakehira9496]

​@@CadenceHiraby Ashley Eriksson of LAKE. Colours by Ashley Eriksson, check it out!

[@Blukeylukey]

honestly one of my favourite songs in the entire show

[@TeddSkylight]

*"I'm a buff baby that can dance like a man,* *I can shake-a my fanny, I can shake-a my can* *I'm a tough tootin' baby, I can punch-a your buns!* *Punch-a your buns, I can Punch all your buns!* *If you're an evil witch, I will* *punch you for fun!"* Is one of the greatest and the most beautiful song from this series that I have ever shed me to tears more harder than me crying myself to sleep.

[@timesphere5199]

I love how the music, just like adventure time, is messy and choppy at first but ultimately fits together with time. It is a very aquired taste and the show backs this up as well. The first few episodes may seem annoying and plotless but if you give it enough time you can see how the puzzle pieces fit and you can look back and appreciate how it prepared you for the moment without you realizing

[@nicholas3808]

Idk if anyone mentioned already but the Fionna and Cake theme isn’t actually an original! It’s a remix / re-arrangement of To The Top by Too Many Zooz! I lost my mind when I first heard it in the show, I was so excited!!

[@trevormiddleton1769]

Was going to say this too! Just one reason it's so different

[@Purp1e_Grapes]

No wonder when i first heard it, I immediately though of Too Many Zooz.

[@UnorthodoxIndividual]

I've always LOVED Adventure Time's score. I don't know like any music theory terms so I don't really know how to describe it, but there's a lot of recurring tracks that play throughout the show if you listen closely. I always liked that aspect of the series because of how memorable the tracks were. I'm kind of surprised that wasn't mentioned tbh lol. Great analysis regardless!

[@fatih3806]

You have good gravity falls vids btw

[@EpicJake0948]

Tim Kiefer used the Absynth (sadly discontinued) and FM8 virtual instruments for the music of the original series of Adventure Time. Those were both by Native Instruments The percussion from "Slipping Pieces" come from Absynth. "So So Spice" features synths from Native Instruments' discontinued Pro-53 synthesizer, along with a marxophone. Tim Kiefer sometimes remixed his own tracks for later episodes.

Before I even start watching this video, I want to say that I’m happy it exists. Adventure Time music is so unique and every time I want to take inspiration from it, I feel bad for trying to touch it. It’s so pure and childlike in nature that purposefully replicating it always feels wrong. Im excited to hear what you have to say about it, and maybe I’ll come back after I’m finished 🥰

[@SweeperCreations]

[@jeffscrungle6179]

Absolutely fascinating stuff, I always knew that the music in adventure time was really whackey and unique instinctively and the more I learn about this series the more I become fascinated by the bizarre cocktail of just art that is this show , how it is like fallout meets D&D meets non-essentialism meets Buddhism meets doctor who meets all the random shit in your grandpa's attic meets all the things you thought were cool when you were 12 etc, the music just also being the voice actor's doing stuff that feel so first take, it's so humanistic such a pure form of art and just like the show is messy, real, fun weird, free and unlike anything out there.

FINALLY SOMEONE TALKING BOUT THIS, adventure time's soundtrack has been haunting me ever since the show was over. I've always praised the show's "vibe" and atmosphere but never quite understood what made it that good, until I stumbled upon an episode's soundtrack on spotify once. and it really is that. the weird instruments played at fun times, the oft pads when feelings get heavy. adventure time really knows what it's doing with its sound.

Very very glad to see someone talk about Adventure Time’s backing tracks. Because yes, the diagetic music is incredibly made, the background music has such a specific nostalgic feel that I fell in love with upon rewatching Adventure Time that Fionna and Cake sort of lacks. It’s in no way bad, but it’s certainly very different from the soundtrack of adventure time.

[@nse8189]

the leitmotif from everything in you 14:32 can also be heard whenever the portal opens 😭 do you also have a transcription of the bus stop scene? i noticed in the confession scene when Betty and Simon embrace, as the strings crescendo in the bgm there’s a soft piano accompaniment but in the alternate version the piano part is louder and is the same volume as the strings representing Simon and Betty were on equal footing 🫠

[@shiftybat7318]

You had it at 'dreamscape.' Anyone who loves this show but is somehow unfamiliar with an indie game called Yume Nikki (Dream Diary, a game made by a single oddball on RPG Maker) would be well advised to look up that OST or play the game. It all sounds and feels like familiar parts playing unfamiliar roles in a waking dream, where the crossing over a single axis can lead from jaunt-in-the-park to hairs standing on your neck droning. And that's part of the Adventure Time appeal, in that you don't know where the ride is taking you, whether today is a celebration of friendship, a half- forgotten memory, a coming of age moment of bravery and truth to the Self, or a deep fear locked in your Vault. The music defies convention just as our own dreams do while our slumbering brains try to make sense of the day.

[@whyis_hehere6638]

I'm currently doing a presentation on the music of adventure time for a class i am in and its so great to hear other peoples perspective on the music since there is very little to read about on line. the way i characterize the music is like each piece is a petri dish of music ideas. your just seeing these microscopic musical ideas swimming around each other in odd ways and its so interesting. its such a beautiful musical language Casey and Tim have

Question: At 12:36 it doesn't seem like the trumpet and sax parts are transposed. When transcribing a score for educational purpose, are parts from transposed instruments generally notated in concert pitch for the listener to analyze since it's not meant to be played?

What an excellent look at the wonderful music of this fantastic series. Before I comment on something specific I deeply laughed at the choice to not transpose "So So Spice" but displaying that choice by still including the sheet music using a whole rest. Genuinely hilarious on so many levels. One of the features of the original series musical style that I deeply appreciate is precisely the detail of it not sticking to a single genre both for mentioned reason of reflecting setting (whether an intentional, happy accident, or inbetween) AND because I myself tend to be pretty open to musical genres which likely the show had some hand in cultivating. I also realized that a lot of the music being diegetic felt positively reinforcing of my neurodivergent habit involving singing/scatting/beatboxing as part of stimming. Sometimes imitating or directly singing songs from the show (Dancing Bug trap beat? all the time) or riffing off them. The show had such a profound impact on me in every way it could. c:

Musician and fan of the show since the OG pilot hit KZbin here ! Loved the video. To me the music always felt like a weird mashup of musical snippets left behind after the great mushroom war by people who had never heard a complete song. Like the inhabitants of Ooo found traces of pre-war music without any context, explanation, or training and that’s what is influencing them. I initially preferred the weird score to the more approachable songs by Rebecca Sugar (“wtf, music that’s tonal and in time!?”), but I’ve come to really appreciate her stuff as well.

There’s one non-diegetic song in the show that was recontextualized as diegetic in the finale, which is the song played during the end credits. Naturally, there’s not an expectation that the opening and ending themes are diegetic. But the ending of the series connecting to the ending of every other episode, and with a song with such poignant and nostalgic lyrics, make for a powerful reification of the song.

I f you want to understand music theory on a deeper level, highly recommend listening to Piano Concerto No. 1 in E Minor by Frederic Chopin and think about someone that died in you life you were close to. Chopin wrote the piece after his wife passed away and putting your mind in a similar state brings out the emotions on the piano and genuinely brought me to tears thinking of my Grandfather who passed away when I was young but the bond was strong. Cried in a Band class full of students and so did many others. Truly I wouldn't be in love with producing and music as much as I am without this piece. Always on my top 5 favorite pieces of music ever composed, under MF DOOM of course!

@@CadenceHira oo, you're intimately familiar then. i'd love to share this theory i've been working on. this is actually a much older version of it, but the current more fleshed version is a jumble of my own notes attempting to map out things chronologically in certain universes and is less readable in its current state. this version only goes up until about the finale of the show proper, then was gonna add a more written out part with f&c and wyatt's wish, but went to chronologically map out all the elements and kind of got sucked into the universe fleshing it out, so never yet went back to write the ending, but i have so many more details to add now before then anyway. but anyway, all that is just me fleshing out a universe that is significant for the theory, this written out part has the skeleton that holds it together though. i haven't read full through it in a bit though, so some certain elements within that significant universe in the theory may be slightly outdated. it's um, really long, so youtube will probably make me break it up. hopefully my formatting makes sense, i used emojis to indicate what universes we're jumping in/out of~

🌳🍃🌳🍃🌳🍃🌳🍃🌳🍃🌳🍃🌳 🍃🌳🍃🌳🍃🌳🍃🌳🍃🌳🍃🌳🍃 when a wishmaster such as Prismo grants a wish, a new universe is not always created to fulfill the wish, but when one is, this wisher is removed from their origin reality and is placed or rewritten entirely into the newly created reality. the old reality continues to exist, but without them in it. this truth must be accepted. anything else (such as a copy remaining in the origin plane) would result in the wisher being unfulfilled. this is the way wishes are granted. we first see this in season 5 when the Lich from our world makes it to the time room followed by Finn and Jake. the Lich wishes for the extinction of life and is granted a world in which all biological life has been extinguished and what remains is a world of lifeless skeletons. 🦴💀🦴💀🦴💀🦴💀🦴💀🦴💀🦴 💀🦴💀🦴💀🦴💀🦴💀🦴💀🦴💀 the Lich dematerializes from the time room to the new universe as Finn and Jake watch. hearing what the Lich's wish was and thinking it was their own world that was affected they try to find a way to undo it. Finn wishes that the Lich never even ever existed and is granted a world in which the mushroom bomb never detonated releasing the mutagenic horrors of the Lich, instead going through an ice age and ending up with a less magic, more agricultural world. 🌾🌱🌾🌱🌾🌱🌾🌱🌾🌱🌾🌱🌾 🌱🌾🌱🌾🌱🌾🌱🌾🌱🌾🌱🌾🌱 Finn is rewritten entirely into that world as Jake watches from the time room. Now there are three worlds, the Lich's deadworld, Finn's farmworld, and our original Ooo where Princess Bubblegum is waiting for their return. Prismo, after bonding with Jake, feeds him what to say to resolve the conundrum with minimal repercussion. this wish will not result in the creation of a universe and therefore Jake isn't removed from his origin world. the reason a universe isn't created is because the specific wording used in the wish only affects entities in the time room and not an existing universe or entities within in. Jake wishes to rewrite the Lich's wish and to fulfill this, Prismo creates a copy of Finn and the Lich from when they were in the time room previously before they made their wishes. the Lich then wishes (as made to by Jake) for Finn and Jake to go back home to Ooo, so Prismo sends Jake and the copy of Finn he created (with no recollection of everything preceding) back to their original universe where the Princess is waiting. While the Enchiridion is spent, the crown gems return across the continent of Ooo to their owners. Prismo leaves Jake a note he can reuse as a portal to the time room when he wishes and over the course of the season, Jake and Prismo become a lot closer. * •° 🦴💀🦴💀🦴💀🦴💀🦴💀🦴💀🦴 in this copy of our world all biological life has been replaced with skeletons. the copy was possibly taken from earlier in the day as the characters in this universe (such as ice king) were doing different things (and at a different time) when they became skeletons than our versions were doing when Finn and Jake followed the Lich into the portal and before they returned. this means, this universe, while containing no biological life, still contains important artifacts such as the Ice Crown, the other crown gems, and the Enchiridion. While the Lich reigns over this desolate world, there are a few surviving sparks of life. while all biological life was hit, some technological life, such as Bmo and Neptr, were able to survive the fallout of the wish. while Bmo strived to keep the world alive, using skeletons as puppets or wearing symbols of the fallen in to fill in as them for their roles, Neptr aspired to save this world and their friends through greater means. rounding up the gems from the remnants of the royals, and using the Enchiridion found in the Bear's cave or Billy's crack, Neptr is able to open a portal to the time room. leaving this world for good, Neptr meets Prismo in the time room and makes his wish. | 💾💽💾💽💾💽💾💽💾💽💾💽💾 Neptr's wish to restore the world and his friends and family essentially works, but only to his perspective. a new world is created that is close to a copy of ours. some worlds, like farmworld or this extinctionworld, have a look that matches ours, while some worlds are, when compared to ours, aesthetically warped through some means or another. this is one of those warped worlds and we see it in s5e15 as well as many of the released video games. this world goes on to live concurrently to ours, but, like some of these warped copies of our universe that will be created, experience a more light-hearted episodical existence, where characters such as Ice King and Magic Man don't go through the same changes they do in our universe and can act as they would in the past. 💽💾💽💾💽💾💽💾💽💾💽💾💽 | Neptr has his wish fulfilled and is rewritten into this glitchworld, while Bmo stays with the Lich and the masses of skeletons that used to be our friends. Bmo, being the ball of sunshine they are, attempts to befriend the Lich and dons them the name Jerry. and, for near 15 years, the Lich sits on his mountain of bones, reflecting on his victory and what it means to achieve it. 💀🦴💀🦴💀🦴💀🦴💀🦴💀🦴💀 * •° 🌳🍃🌳🍃🌳🍃🌳🍃🌳🍃🌳🍃🌳 back in our Ooo, Jake and Finn continue to go about their lives. Finn learns that his human dad is alive and he can find him at the cosmic citadel. Jake, being good friends with Prismo by this point, consults him for help. We later find out Finn's dad, Martin, is imprisoned in the Citadel as a criminal. Martin, being in the citadel, means he is not in our universe when copies of it are made. there is no skeleton of his to show up in the Jerryworld universe, because there is only one cosmic citadel, like there is only one time room, and only one Golb. while not mattering in the case of the skeleton, it will matter shortly, because to get to the citadel Finn and Jake try bringing someone to make a wish. Shelby doesn't make the wish they wanted him to, but we learn from Prismo that it wouldn't have mattered, because you can't get to the cosmic citadel with a wish. Shelby's wish however was made and fulfilled, but not entirely exactly. when Shelby wished for a pony for his gf, a universe was created where the wish was granted, like how the Lich's world was made, a copy of ours with a tweak. Shelby became linked to that world instead of our own allowing phone communication with his new gf and her pony Speedboat from the time room. Prismo never ultimately sends Shelby to this new universe and Shelby returns with our boys to prime Ooo, but not before a lot goes down. to get into the cosmic citadel by committing the cosmic crime of killing a wishmaster, Prismo has them wake his corporeal form. but, seizing the opportunity, the Lich (the copy created from Jake's wish that has been chilling in the time room all season) not only wakes Prismo, but destroys his physical form as well, granting him access to the cosmic citadel where he is then taken as prisoner. Finn and Jake snatch a ride and they make it to the citadel where Finn's dad is. they free him, but the Lich has bigger plans, breaking out the highly dangerous cosmic criminals and bending them to his will. when blood from the crystal guardians, though, and its healing life-restoring properties, makes contact with the Lich, it refleshifies him and seemingly rebirths him as a big baby boy with no evident malice remaining. Finn's dad though (who we find out maybe isn't the best guy) has taken this opportunity to gather the now free cosmic criminals and stage a getaway. one of the criminals opens several portals, including at least one that connects to our universe (the one Martin and Jake are from) and Martin tries to take off. Finn, using the strength of his new cursed grass sword tries his hardest to hold on and keep him from pulling away. the pull from the voidcaster's portal is too much though. Martin absconds and Finn's arm is ripped clean off, still gripping onto Martin's platform as the portal closes. one of voidcaster's open portals gives us reentry to Ooo but we do so without Martin and without Finn's arm. we do however come back with Shelby (who was never put into his wish world by Prismo who is currently deceased) and the new baby Lich now named Sweet Pea. Sweet Pea is adopted by the newly wed Treetrunks & Mr. Pig, and Finn, Jake, and Shelby go back home. after going through several prosthetics and enough time, Finn's cursed grass sword (which bonded to his stump with the guardian blood) was able to recreate a fascimile of Finn's arm which could access the blade through a thorn in his palm. his real arm though existed somewhere in space with Martin presumably. time passes and the universe goes on, but without Prismo, at least, for now. 🍃🌳🍃🌳🍃🌳🍃🌳🍃🌳🍃🌳🍃 * •°

* •° 🪱🔰🪱🔰🪱🔰🪱🔰🪱🔰🪱🔰🪱 when Shelby made his wish, a world was created to fulfill it. this world, like the Lich's world, is a copy of ours with a tweak. the world has Finn, Jake, Bmo, Neptr, Shelby's girlfriend, Shelby's girlfriend's pony Speedboat, but no Shelby. one wasn't created as our Shelby was meant to take that role. upon creation of the universe, these are the only two major changes (the loss of Shelby and the addition of Speedboat). when our Finn found out his human dad was alive, he was pretty on the fence about meeting him. Jake had to convince him and he was close to going the other way. it's possible a minor butterfly-effect-like change (such as Shelby's absence) could have him not going. this is indeed what happens as there is only one citadel and this copy of Finn doesn't have a copy of Martin. Martin portals to our universe and this universe doesn't have one (though it does have history from Martin in it). This Finn doesn't go to the citadel to meet his dad, doesn't witness Prismo's death, and doesn't lose his arm. but for a while, not too much is changed. most events for the first 10-20 episodes or so of season 6 don't go off too differently. the tree in this dimension will slowly lose vibrance over the season as it's poisoned by the Rat King who is never slain by Shelby's little brother, who is never born in this world. and Treetrunks and Mr. Pig get a divorce as they never had Sweet Pea to save their marriage. one thing significantly different that happens in this timeline regards the card that Prismo gave Jake to access the time room. while this Finn and Jake didn't witness Prismo's death, Prismo is still dead for them and the card only grants access to the empty time room. with no wishmaster, any normal being to show up there would have nothing to do but leave, but it wasn't a 'normal' being that accessed Jake's card from Prismo in the treehouse. when Magic Man (from Shelby's wish world) got to the time room, he zapped up Prismo's world editing software and made himself a world where he can be a jerk and mess with people like toys forever. | ✨🪄✨🪄✨🪄✨🪄✨🪄✨🪄✨ this is another one of the 'warped' worlds and we see it in s6e7. Magic Man leaves shelby's world and goes on to live in this newly created Magicworld which has copies of Finn and Jake and Bubblegum and all our friends and also takes on the more light-hearted episodical vibe with less significant character changes over time. 🪄✨🪄✨🪄✨🪄✨🪄✨🪄✨🪄 | while the first half of season 6 contains a slew of minor changes, everything hits the fan when Prismo's pickles run out, which do so in both this universe and ours. 🔰🪱🔰🪱🔰🪱🔰🪱🔰🪱🔰🪱🔰 * •° ⏳🕰⏳🕰⏳🕰⏳🕰⏳🕰⏳🕰️⏳ back before Prismo's death at the beginning of season 6 but after having had met Jake at the beginning of season 5, Prismo set up a special ritual in case he ever, for some reason, bit it. Jake received this special jar of pickles from Prismo in season 5 and the jar was copied when Shelby made his wish. this was in fact Prismo's plan. he knew at least one copy of the world had to exist for this plan to go off and Shelby's wish gave him the perfect opportunity to do so with authorization. Prismo, knowing what Finn and Jake were asking and seeing where it was going, seized this perfectly-timed opportunity to finalize this failsafe with the pickles, creating a world from Shelby's wish to do so. now, if all goes according to plan, when the pickles run out, they should hopefully do in both universes, prompting each Finn and Jake to perform the pickle ritual. Our Duo from our Ooo get it off a notch early and Jake ends up first in this time dream labyrinth, followed by Finn. Jake follows a path set for him by Prismo while a remnant of Prismo explains junk to Finn. Enough time passes that the Jake and Finn from Shelby's wish world show up from their pickle ritual (for now called Jake² and Finn²). while Jake² follows the path that Jake¹ took, Jake¹ reaches the end where a bed is stationed. when he sleeps in it, Prismo is dreamed back into existence and is alive again. Prismo however has Finn¹ wake him up. while he's doing this, Prismo is giving Finn² the same spiel. after Finn¹ wakes up Jake¹ and they leave the bed, Jake² reaches it and falls asleep dreaming Prismo again. Finn² goes to wake him up (as Finn¹ did to Jake¹) but Prismo has Finn¹ stop him. Finn², while he didn't explode like Prismo warned might happen, reformed into a sword with the consciousness of Finn while Jake² continued to sleep to dream Prismo into continued existence. Finn¹ and Jake¹ go back to their dimension with Finn² (now Finn Sword) while Jake² stays asleep in the time room. {[this does change what bubblegum said about Finn and Fern being exactly the same. Finn and Fern(Finn²) would have experienced s6e1-e19 as different beings with a few significant differences. this is not a plot hole however. Bubblegum, Finn, and Fern all couldn't have known this without discussing in-depth past events. it's reasonable for bubblegum, and even Finn and Fern to think that they were copies up until the pickle ritual until they talk about it. the major difference being that Fern never meets Martin, robbing him of some of what Finn went through, but giving him a different experience to have, feeling robbed of the chance to meet his dad, resenting that Finn did get the chance, feeling a hole like Finn does regarding their father, but experiencing it in a whole different way. this also means Fern didn't lose his arm, but it means for the first half of season 6 he continued to use the grass blade while Finn only used in in the tail end of season 5 and in seldom dire situations in season 6, Fern would be even more adept, having continued to use it as his main weapon for much longer.]} 🕰⏳🕰⏳🕰⏳🕰⏳🕰⏳🕰️⏳🕰️ * •° 🌳🍃🌳🍃🌳🍃🌳🍃🌳🍃🌳🍃🌳 in our dimension Finn and Jake return with the Finn Sword and the season plays out as we see in the latter half of season 6. Martin (whether voidcaster took him somewhere in our reality or a different one that he has sent leapt from back to ours) has made it to our solar system in a spacecraft of sorts. GrobGobGlobGrod mistakes it for the catalyst comet being early and off-course, imminent with collision with Mars. GrobGobGlobGrod sacrifices himself to divert what he thinks is the comet. Martin's ship crashes down on earth where it would later be found by Finn, as did Glob's helmet which would later be found by Betty who would use it in a magic transference ritual with this dimension's Magic Man turning her magic and him normal. Around the events of Glob's death though, another character in this realm experienced a tragedy. Bounce House Princess was popped by a porcupine and at the end of the episode we see Finn and Jake are on their way to offer aid. we don't see how this plays out, but what happens is they bring BHP to their newly revived boy Prismo for a fresh wish fix. Bounce House Princess, having to deal with this kind of thing her whole existence (being popped, being used for her body, having mud tracked in her), wishes that she could be a normal princess. | ⛲🦧⛲🦧⛲🦧⛲🦧⛲🦧⛲🦧⛲ Prismo grants her wish and turns her from Bounce House Princess to B'Onangutan Princess and creates a version of Ooo where she has her own kingdom. this is another one of the 'warped' and more light-hearted realities and we see it in s6e37. this explains how Finn has the Finn Sword in that episode. he has it when BHP makes the wish, so in her world he has that sword, while he wouldn't get it in Neptr's or MagicMan's world (or if he did it would be through an entirely different means ‹the sword is what Finn is when represented inanimately, seen in a vision by F¹ in s6e6, and transformed into by F² in s6e19, so it might be possible for it's creation to happen in other ways›«but this is just to explain if it happens to show up in a video game i haven't played so the game can maybe still fit as part of Neptr's glitchverse»). 🦧⛲🦧⛲🦧⛲🦧⛲🦧⛲🦧⛲🦧 | Bounce House Princess leaves our world and is rewritten into B'Onangutanworld or Waterparkworld or whatever. Betty becomes magic, Bubblegum losses her kingdom in an election, and Orgalorg awakens with intentions of absorbing the power of the catalyst comet, but is interrupted and defeated by Finn and falls down to our atmosphere turning back into Gunther. Bonnie eventually gets her kingdom back from the King of Ooo. and life goes on, in this dimension. 🍃🌳🍃🌳🍃🌳🍃🌳🍃🌳🍃🌳🍃 * •°

* •° 🪱🔰🪱🔰🪱🔰🪱🔰🪱🔰🪱🔰🪱 in the world created from Shelby's wish, while not diverting from our timeline too much early on, things really start to change when Finn and Jake never come back from the time room. Finn from this world turned into the sentient sword that Finn in the prime universe uses and would eventually go on to take on his own identity as Fern. the Jake from this world continues to sleep for eternity in the time room to dream Prismo into continued existence, which is why, though for much of this season the time room was dead and only Magic Man was able to do anything with it, it is now alive again with a wishmaster running it. without Finn and Jake returning, the card that grants access to the time room waits in the tree house for someone to feel they have a need to use it. and indeed there are those that do. the order isn't certain in which this all happens, but in some order or another, it does. Treetrunks, in this world, never adopted Sweet Pea with Mr. Pig and instead they got a divorce. she rebounded with Wyatt who was Waiting but that goes about as well as you would expect. she tries to fix things with Mr. Pig, but he's not ready to open himself up to get hurt like that again. Treetrunks, in a forelorn state, makes her way to the time room (through the card in the tree house) and tries to wish things back. | 🍇🌷🍇🌷🍇🌷🍇🌷🍇🌷🍇🌷🍇 she does get a world where Mr. Pig is again at her side, but at the cost of everything that was. it's all still here, but oh so different. Prismo had fun with this one. we see it in s7e28. this world has actually managed to connect itself to our prime Ooo as Booko explained dimensions sometimes do and our Finn and Jake and their Sea Lard explored it. (this also means that an episode of the world created from Treetrunks²'s wish exists with Polly as her VA which wouldn't be able to happen in any other universe with any new episodes that could be created.) 🌷🍇🌷🍇🌷🍇🌷🍇🌷🍇🌷🍇🌷 | Treetrunks (the little apple elephant) from this world is rewritten into Bushboots the apricot anteater in this new dimension and leaves this one behind. Wyatt, personally offended by her departure, makes it his mission to win her back. only he doesn't know where she went. he'll exist obsessively in this universe, ready to step on anyone to achieve his selfish goals, but will be largely unsuccessful for a wide expanse of time as this universe changes. Shelby's girlfriend, while unable to do anything for much of season 6, is able to confront Prismo when he returns to the time room and at some point she does. Prismo explains he donked and her Shelby is actually in a parallel world with a parallel her, buut he can grant her a wish fixing the problem. her wish does bring Shelby back (or creates a copy of him anyway)‹now everyone but Martin has a 2nd version of themself living in either the copy of Ooo made by Shelby's wish, or somewhere else in the multiverse like a universe of their own. Martin would also eventually discorporate in our reality, so fittingly he is the one without a copy.› Speedboat doesn't enter the wish reality with her, but a Speedboat is created in the wish reality. the Original Speedboat, stays behind and is eventually adopted by Sparkle, who, in this world, becomes a sexy hitman, but Speedboat makes Sparkle wonder what could have been if he had gone down a different path in a different world. | 🐻🏘🐻🏘🐻🏘🐻🏘🐻🏘🐻🏘🐻 don't know much about the world created to fulfill Shelby's girlfriend's wish, but Shelby, Shelby's girlfriend, and Speedboat live there now. the world is possibly entirely smaller in scale, or there are little villages like our Ooo has in some places, as Simon steps in one in the F&C finale. we only see it for a frame or two. 🏘🐻🏘🐻🏘🐻🏘🐻🏘🐻🏘🐻🏘 | with Finn, Jake, and Shelby gone, the treehouse gets pretty lonely. Neptr isn't cutting it for company, and Bmo wants his friends and family back. Bmo then ventures to the time room, to make his wish to Prismo. | 🍼🧸🍼🧸🍼🧸🍼🧸🍼🧸🍼🧸🍼 Bmo, wishing that all his friends would be back again and that it would be playtime forever, gets a world created where all the characters we know are baby versions of themselves and Bmo exists as the baby monitor. 🧸🍼🧸🍼🧸🍼🧸🍼🧸🍼🧸🍼🧸 |

Hmmm, I wonder why this title felt so familiar...... oh wait, it's the Never Ever series BY EMPLEMON!!! (downward spiral intensifies)

[@VoidSinister]

I just found out theres a follow up to my favorite show 😱

[@DragonTamerCos]

I don't know, I wish the actual score of the show got more attention. Those little modular synth bleep bloop tracks that just fade in and out of existence that makes up a majority of the actual soundtrack that isn't published anywhere. I really like those
