[Adventure Time]

[(Anonymous)]

I was sort of disappointed the girl version of Finn had to be aged up/sexualized. It doesn't say much for 'See, girls can adventure, too!" when she has thigh high stockings and a miniskirt.

[(Anonymous)]

DA

Also what's up with the romance in that ep?

[(Anonymous)]

IDK about the miniskirt part. Many girls like wearing skirts. You can be feminine and skill kill monsters, right?

[(Anonymous)]

I'm sure the show's stans will jump on you, but yep.

[insanenoodlyguy]

I think the idea is that since girls tend to mature faster, Fionna is the same age as Finn but physically and emotionally more mature?

Also, considering nat's art style, it was just inevitable she was gonna be drawn that way.

[(Anonymous)]

She's not aged up. Girl's just often physical mature faster than boys. Also why the fuck can't a girl wear whatever the fuck she wants when she adventures. Or can only tomboys adventure? There is fucking nothing wrong with being feminine.

[sachiko_san]

I agree. Blame Nat. She came up with the designs.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't want the show (yet, and not for lack of harassment from my friends) but this really struck me too. Why couldn't the girl version be cute in a little girl way instead of a vintage pinup way.

[(Anonymous)]

because it was Ice King's fanfiction

[sensualcoco.livejournal.com]

See I thought she looked was 13/14. It's only her relationships with other characters that would make me think she might be older, but considering PG wasn't really PG, that's kind of distorted and not a really a good gauge.

Yeah, she was a little sexed up compared to Finn, but it didn't strain my suspension of disbelief. I could see a young girl wearing a skirt. The thigh highs gave me the impression of stylized long socks. It didn't seem all that out of tune. I used to wear skorts to play in.

I'm even okay with that episode being a little romantic, since there are a lot of episodes with Finn and Jake about romance. But if they made the next one with Fiona about romance too I will be seriously disappointed.

[(Anonymous)]

On the one hand, I agree, but on the other hand, I'm just really glad that she has actual legs, not those spaghetti legs cartoons tend to have.

[wauwy]

What people in this thread need to understand is the difference between

1. a girl or woman choosing to wear revealing clothes for whatever reason, and

2. a creator (usually male) putting female characters in sexy outfits so men can drool over them.

There was difficulty understanding this when it came to "Sucker Punch," too.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm tired of the "boys have dogs, girls have cats" stereotype. Why can't Fiona have a dog friend too?

[(Anonymous)]

Because everytime there is a genderswapped universe introduced in fiction, the cat and dog are always swapped (see Red Dwarf)

[(Anonymous)]

If Finn had a cat, I'm sure Fionna would have had a dog. Of course, I'm sure Jake would have been Jackie if that were the case.

[(Anonymous)]

ffs

[insanenoodlyguy]

Oh no worries. Lots of people ship the fuck out of this show.

Also have you been reading the Fiona and Cake comic? Nat's art is fucking boss, as expected.

[ex_paola492]

What Fionna and Cake comic????

[sachiko_san]

Maybe when next to each other, but PB has done some sadistic/weird things in the name of science. I also like that PB breaks the mold that girls who like science must be awkward and nerdy.

[sensualcoco.livejournal.com]

Ditto. Sometimes I feel like the only one who notices this. How cruel was the whole Goliad episode?

[cloud_riven]

I like that about PB, including the sadistic bit. She's kinda split between lawful neutral to evil/good, and I kinda wish there'd finally be an ep where she gets a background (how old is she, what's her deal with trying to maintain Ooo, etc.).

[brooms]

i feel bad about this, too. pb/marceline does zilch for me, but i hopped into the gumball/ml train exxxtra quick.

and massive tangent, but i've noticed recently that i seem unable to ship femslash pairings unless there's some ~wrongness involved (be it power imbalance or something like the sharon stone/adjani relationship in diabolique) and i feel a bit guilty about it, ngl.

why can't i get into friendly domestic lesbians? i'm all over bff domestic gays.

[(Anonymous)]

Hey, so, maybe this is a stupid question but I've seen like one episode of Adventure Time. Are the genderswap versions of the characters I see in the fandom canonical or just something the fandom likes to imagine? I need some context for them, please!

[(Anonymous)]

That's okay, because per secret #1, "squick" now means "people actually do like something."
