A marvelous adventure that ends with a warm, gooey cookie for your soul.

This summary reflects more on the last two episodes of the show, but leading up to it were the adrenaline-driven , musical fantasy, yaoi-romance that we’ve been wanting fan-serviced to us in a fionna and cake show (although personally I did call out that I would have still loved to see the modern life of Fionna and Cake just as well). Overall, episodes 1-8 were a perfect precursor to the its humbling conclusion.

I loved the reflection of Simon’s romance with Betty and the appreciation that Fionna came to have for her own world. For all the adventure and misfitting she felt, the reality that came to be became one that was embraced.

This parallels well even for Simon, as happiness comes from acceptance and gratitude. The little things, like enjoying a good cup of tea, texting your friends, and living life are all important. The feelings are not limited to anyone of any age or experience either.

It’s easy to forget that in the hustle and bustle of daily life, so I love the little reminder with the doctor that this is something we relearn and forget, especially if it’s something we’re not inherently born to think this way.
