i lost count but this is still first ten episodes or whatever and we have body horror sexual peril just in your eyeballs. fuck. damn. they saved the heavy stuff for when their collective voice was refined but adventure time showed up to your fucking door with a relentless surreality that was almost awkwardly casual in a way that reminds me more of... fuckin daria sometimes than the usually kinda frenetic pace action cartoons of the time often had in my recollection.
the kind of world where you sometimes have to deal with pest monsters in the kind of groaning "i cant believe i sat down before i took out the trash" way
shout out to jake for establishing that rest is a necessary part of battling monsters. thank you for that, bro
