i’m crying so fucking much. i don’t want to take the experience of watching the finale away from anyone so spoilers are under the cut

i’ve been watching adventure time for 9 years. it’s been with me through my best times and worst times, through years of heartbreak and abuse, through everything. it’s made me the person i am today. and i feel good knowing that it’s not ending, not really. i’ll buy all the comics and keep watching reruns until the day i die.

i really didn’t think they were going to let marceline and bonnie kiss. i can’t really… express exactly what i’m feeling right now, because this means so much more to me than i could ever put into words. i haven’t stopped crying since that scene. it makes me feel like such a dork, but i know that bonnibel and i have always been one and the same and seeing her find happiness that parallels my own, now, brings me a sense of completeness i’ve never felt before.

my expectations were really high for this finale and somehow, it lived up to them. i feel whole. i’ll probably still be crying for a little while longer, though.

regarding where hands touch: there is absolutely no reason for a movie about a struggling biracial girl in nazi germany to have a romantic subplot, much less an overall focus. “this is a story that needs to be told” doesn’t seem like such a solid excuse when your deuteragonist who’s taking up half the screentime is a white kid racked by guilt for being a fascist. yes, supporting hitler was compulsory at the time, and if this was a true story, maybe we would have sympathy for the kid, but when writing a piece of historical fiction, you have control over how your characters are handled, and they specifically chose to write a nazi redemption story. even if the movie ultimately portrays nazism as bad, it’s just not appropriate in today’s political climate.
