how adventure time taught us to grow 

Adventure Time is a lot like life. You start and go in for the fun of it, then you get lessons you never asked for but needed

Love what you had to say!

I was already and adult when I got into adventure time, I found it so charming, the way they portrayed all these deep adult themes in the most childlike way

This show is that old? I thought it is kinda new. Tom & Jerry was my childhood. Spongebob. Courage. ❤

@@frost.0707 Yup, 12 years old.

That’s what “the vault” is for 😅

@@user-ly4ql8hz6c God the vault… when that finally gets cracked open it’s so wild

Haha this comment was genuinely hilarious 😂 I agree 1000%

@@presleybroadhead1308 I agree, too but how can we strive to be as courageous as Finn? He is a mere written character, meaning that he was written that way.

@@user-ly4ql8hz6c Explain?

I used to trip acid and watch this with my roommates. This is show makes me miss being a kid more than anything on this planet. I wish I were immature enough to still watch it.

“It seems unforgiven when a good thing ends, but you and I will always be back then.”

I'm 32 and still tear up most episodes. Such a good show.

@@taylorbrown3892 hell yeah, that's the good shit right there

​@@thescholarofcounterculture I'm 17 now and about a year or 2 ago I'd hang out with these two dudes, lets call them mordecai and rigby (wink). We'd start to hangout at school and shit, I honestly can't remember, we would smoke all day ride our push bikes around all night and blast a7x, Breaking Benjamin all the good shit, however on the odd occasion we would go mushroom picking. We would go out at the start of the night at like 8pm, pick for like hours man haha, and we'd eat them on the walk back to my friends house. I practically lived at my friends house during this one set of school holidays, I live in Australia so we have terms and then little holidays for 3 terms and then 1 big one at the end of the 2nd semester (this was during the big one), anyway during this time, we would wake up smoke talk shit have fun ride around drink all that shit, the best part is that we never went to parties and not because we weren't invited, we were just fine with it being only us. I considered these two people my first real experiences with best friends in a long time, I was always a quiet conservative person and these people just got me idk. On the topic of your comment "The Scholar of Counter Culture" this really resonates with me due to the fact that one day I had a really bad trip on mushrooms... so bad I threw up shook uncontrollably and was mentally scared for 10 or so months, crazy how losing your mind makes you reconstruct how you perceive your life's choices. Now I called these two friends mordecai and rigby because they were great friends but they also had a lot of growing up to do, and the more I sobered up the more I realised I had to as well, I wasn't going down a good path and a kick in the ass from a trip taught me that XD. I took up music im redoing yr11 and I'm working towards becoming a musician, not one that relies on drugs to create, but themselves... Life is an emotional roller coaster and I've only just reached the end of the queue.

Oh my god you gave me chills dude

@@maximusbalderaz8170 thanks it's my second favorite adventure time episode so I've thought a lot about it

Beautifully written

@@knob007 May I ask which one is your first?

@@Skullnezz my favorite is Thank You, it's just such a fantastic episode in every way

yo ailurus my favorite youtuber for stuff to listen to in the background

Oh damn you watch this guy too

Ayooo watchu doin here?

Yeah it was

Oh shi its you

A mature teenager

That is like one of the most common character developments ever lmao

Jake the Dog, Finn the human was a dark episode

@@anonymoususer638 it's never done right in tv shows though. cartoon network shows are too obsessed with keeping children immature for as long as possible, and netflix shows are too hyperfixated on making children become mature too quick with such fast development it's just not accurate

@@af2954 ever heard of ATLA?

i love how all of Finn's friends try to open his eyes for him but it doesn't work until he deals with the cave

I agree. I love adventure time but this episode is different, the concept makes me shiver in some far away yet near place, as if my eyes are closed and I am sitting somewhere infinitely returning to try again until I get it right

11 minutes where every frame has a purpose. I still cant believe this ep isnt more talked about

i really dont like it man sorry

dude in my opinion its the worst episode in adventure time

Literally y my brother liked regular show more than adventure time. He said “I don’t wanna turn on a cartoon and feel like I’m being taught” At that moment I realized that there are truly only 2 types of people in this world. The ignorant and the Apprentice.

@@EgoX369 we keep on learning til we pass, but some people are just hard learners.

Anything you need homie, just reach out. There’s always someone willing to help🙏🏾

as a random stranger i think u should move back home and reassess life. im sorry it's been so hard recently.

It's going to get better. Just... Hmm. How would I put it. Just do what you think is right. And do what makes you happy.

You are capable of the challenges! Sometimes the best action is to continue removing and accept temporary sacrifices until You're able to afford the Life You want again! Trust the process! Thank You for being vulnerable and understand that You have a digital world You can connect to that offers and abundance of help and knowledge! I trust You will succeed in Life!

Storms will come, just make sure you have your rainboots, and your raincoot and you shall get thru

Some may say the new cartoons that got screen thanks to AT and others at that time are equally good or even better at giving this kind of teachings (as SU, amphibia and others) but AT does it so goddamn well, never felt forced, they didn't hesitate on giving Finn a very dislikeable personality before breaking up with flame princess and then paid out with episodes and character development like in this ep. Just flawless IMO.

a lot of foreshadowing is actually just clever ret-conning. like with Gumbald cutting down the taffy trees. It's amazing how they turned small details from the beginning of the show and made them into something truly amazing

Puhoy was crazy! Finn has lived so many lives in his one lifetime…

What episode

@@tsukimoon6837 puhoy

Fr tbh the internet is taking over I don’t think there will ever be an era like that again

@@chardan4499 probably never again

yesss adventure time & steven universe!

I grew up on Naruto and yu yu hakusho. Will 100% make my kids watch.

@@PotatoMadeOfRainbows adventure time yes, Steven universe?????? No

an adult in youtube whos not in his 20s thats rare

Your boy gonna be a great boy

It's very rare for a Big Cartoon Network show to be cheasy

😎 thnx man

I don’t think it’s the kids’ faults for growing up watching dumb RU-vid videos, it’s their parents’ faults for being lazy and not finding better ways to educate their children

@@Sagowie Exactly

@@cmrja04 nah kids now dont even watch tv they only have play games on phonse or ipads/tablets or computers

@@datuchakitiashvili215 blasting cocomelon on a the bus during mondays

you just have to make the jump. let the regrets of sitting back and letting other people choose how to lead your life drive you to make better choices for urself in the future. there is only learning. i wish i could say there was this big relief/sense of exit or "egress" in life, but there's not. life is ongoing, and the only thing that changes is what u decide to change. we are just monkeys walking on a big rock:) think of that when you are struggling to stop reacting. start acting. bless

The more new stuff you do, the easier everything else that you have already done gets

Flip a coin idk

Even if choices need to be made, they don't necessarily need to be made right. Take others' advice and opinions into account, but don't let them control you. Because while it is a great skill to learn from the mistakes and successes of others, it is the mistakes and successes you make yourself that truly teach you the full story of how an action will affect the world around you. Start small with actions with manageable or rectifiable consequences, and move upward, learning how it all works as you go. Eventually you will find an answer for every problem, at first it may not be the right one, but you will learn from experience and you will find a way to go about solving challenges that resembles you as a person and that you will be able to stand by whether they work out or not.

Do you guys think a therapist could help one find, see, accept and change alot?

The almighty legendary dirt rod is here. Didn't expect that

Wow, I sure didn’t except you here

Always good to keep remembering

No more egress

That give me the chills, since I have aphantasia, cannot see mental images, itñs thought provoking.

@@aldosahagun3350 that’s wild. So you can’t just have random fantasies? You can’t play out a scenario in your head?

@@BeverlyHighland as you say, but you can draw a lot without actually thinking that much (in words not images).

@@BeverlyHighland anyways let me thinking what a nightmare it should be to be blind for that much time, or actually imagine a lot of things... both sideas are creepy imo.

If you're trying your best with the goal of being recognised as valuable in others eyes then you will always feel like you're hitting a brick wall. As soon as you start working for yourself and understand that your value isn't based off of others validation then things become a lot easier. Trust me, once you leave school the main thing you will notice is how the days get longer and the years get shorter I feel like I left school 5 minutes ago and its closer to 5 years now so it's important to focus on the future and what you want to do with yourself but it's equally important that you don't lose yourself in that search, from one stranger on the Internet to another, you do you, the rest will fall into place 👌

@Ryan Dinosaur I get that, but I also don't want to spend the rest of my life alone, it seems like people are able to find their best friends or partners by doing the littlest things and going from there but for some reason, it seems way harder for me doing the same just for anyone to call me a regular friend, like there's always someone better than me out there. I try to be nice, to be there for others when they need, so why can't I seem to get that same trust back? On top of that, even if I really did start working for myself, i don't know how far I'll be able to go. I'm most likely not going to be original or revolutionary, so I'm probably not gonna make a ton of money to afford whatever I want either. Having someone to support you in that case would help you to feel like you're at least doing something that matters to one person.

@@kntranced719 in fairness if you're still in school then you still have lots of time to find the person that'll appreciate all the effort you put out there, be that in the form of a relationship or a friend and you don't need to rush that. In regards to work and things like that, you don't need a lot of money to be happy, the trouble is that you can get caught up with things like that, as long as you can afford the things you need with the luxury of being able to enjoy yourself every now and then you're already doing better than most, set small goals and you'll achieve more of them, I just completely changed my career path simply because I wasn't happy and working for nothing and I got lucky but I know I won't ever make a million and I'm doing something that's common but I'll make enough to get by and that's enough, you shouldn't worry about things like that while in school.

@@ryandinosaur3089 I'm gonna be graduating highschool in a few months time and becoming 18, an "adult" even sooner in march. When I look back now, it feels like I've just been "going through the motions" when it comes to school, I did my work and not much else and I know that's the point but, I noticed that whenever we had group projects in our classes and I try to get to know others, most of the time they just kinda brush me off or when I'm doing particularly well in a subject and other students grades are low, then some would try to act nice and try to get me to tell them all that answers on study guides, assignments, etc and never really give any hard work back. For context: I'm on the Autism Spectrum, not sure exactly where, I just know I have it and have been in spe ED classes pretty much all my life and have had classmates of many varieties. Because a lot of the students I know there mostly keep to themselves, we were often talked a lot about behind our backs for not being like the rest or having any friend groups and people would try to use that to their advantage. It's come to a head sometimes when I've gotten into arguments with gen ED students over it and have had less than flattering words said at me. Now when I get out there into the world, go to college or something, others don't need to know I have Autism so they probably wouldn't look at me anyway but brings up another question: if I can't have an impact on the people I know now, how can I hope to have any on others who didn't spend the most essential years of their life growing up around me? Hope I'm not coming off as over-pessimistic but these are serious questions to me that I need to find an answer to at some point, or I don't know if I'll ever be comfortable trying to connect with others if seems to not matter in the end-

@@kntranced719 In regards to that I can't give advice on a situation I have no right speaking about due to having no official diagnosis myself and I don't want to step in the toes on an illness I know nothing about, I can say that I have recently made a very good friend who suffers with Asperger's and he is the most kind genuine person I know, if you are yourself and continue to be true to that then in time these people will find you and stick with you. In regards to 18 being 'adult' trust me, I'm only 22 and still regarded as a kid despite having my own little family, your peers will always regard you as a child no matter what so it's important to forget and ignore the whole age category of having things sorted of that makes sense. In just these small comments you have shown me that you're a kind soul and there's no doubt that you'll easily find the right people to surround yourself with in the near future, these people may surprise you with their appearance and they come from the least likely of places but keep an open mind, people are often caught up with a lot so they come across as rude and uninterested but if you look past that then there are a lot of people who will be willing to give you the same amount of effort you can offer them and more. And never apologise for coming across any kind of way my friend, you aren't over-pessimistic, you're expressing how you feel and that is more than most can do

It will be soon

that one too!
