title card with italicized white letters over a black background with the text "The Cat Who Tipped The Box." At the bottom of the frame an orange and white cat is peeking underneath a tilted orange cardboard box. A mouse peeks out from beneath the box. Another mouse watches from the SE corner. The composition is framed by a flowers, a long looping yellow ribbon and mouse faces.

NEW Adventure Time: Fionna & Cake episode THE CAT WHO TIPPED THE BOX, written/storyboarded by @killapede.bsky.social Graham Falk @jackiefiles.bsky.social & Jacob Winkler. Premiering November 13th on @streamonmax.bsky.social! (title card by @michaeldeforge.bsky.social)

I miss my friends who are parents of small children sometimes, but I love seeing how great they are at parenting.

The thing about Mamdani is that he’s a talented politician but not otherworldly or one in a billion, he’s just a competent guy with popular ideas who ran against an entitled piece of shit and to me it’s a lot more optimistic to imagine 1000 campaigns like his than to view him as a unique phenomenon

Made a little promo to celebrate Bat-Fam being out today!! I feel so lucky to have been a director on this wonderful show and to get to work with such an amazing crew! Bat-Fam is out now on Prime, hope you like it :)

title card with white block letters over a black background with the text "The Lion of Embers." At the center of the composition is a record player surrounded by fire with a pale orange fox and a white goat dancing around it. They are framed by tufts of grass and purple musical notes.

Zohran Mamdani’s Campaign Logo Looked Nothing Like a Campaign Logo The bodega-influenced visual language of an outsider campaign.

if you would like to know more about how zohran's look came together (designed by Aneesh Bhoopathy of co-op studio Forge!) please check out this great writeup in curbed

let me know next time yer back!!

I’m all caught up and I am losing my mind over my *favorite* AT character getting main character focus.

YES, YES. THIS WAS THE PLAN ALL ALONG.

Storyboard panel of Finn, looking rough as fuck at the top of Fionna & Cake season 2, lying on a bed of branches on the floor of a cave.

Two Huntress Wizards sitting next to Finn on the ground look up at an offscreen interloper (spoiler: it's a third Huntress Wizard)

The third Huntress Wizard squeezes the juice of an orange between her teeth into Finn's mouth. Gross. But hear me out

Actual Huntress Wizard: "Aaa hickory nuts"

And whatever this was.

Close-up storyboard drawing of Huntress Wizard's done face from Fionna & Cake season 2 Episode 1 - The Hare and the Sprout.

Upshot of uhh, Huntress Wizard?

Storyboard drawing of Huntress Wizard holding a flask of anti-venom at her tree home. Conk shelving lined with anti-venoms and other tonics cover the walls in the foreground. She looks over her shoulder at Finn who is lying on the floor under a grass blanket, head propped by a log and leaf "pillow"

Huntress Wizard reverently greets the Heart of the Forest with her hands over her eyes in the shape of goggles

More Fionna and Cake season 2 The Hare and the Sprout boards. Drawing Huntress Wizard feels like breathing to me now.

And another storyboard drawing of Simon Petrikov, having fallen on the floor on his toppled swivel chair, glasses askew.

Simon props himself up from the floor and looks over his shoulder cautiously.

Simon straightens in surprise at the sight of a Finn laid out on his classroom table. Huntress Wizard (out of her Wild Shape) roughly pulls back Finn's hair to reveal the grisly wound on his back.

I know what I'm doing.

A crop of a storyboard panel of Simon Petrikov from Fionna & Cake season 2 sitting backwards on a swivel chair to better ingratiate himself with the wizard youths.

Another storyboard panel of Simon. He "arti" give you the "facts".

Simon gestures widely and dramatically (still seated backwards on this swivel chair; he's very committed) to a blackboard with 'History of Magic Artifacts with Simon "Prof Kov" Petrikov' written on it in chalk. The Farmworld Enchiridion and a poorly-drawn Roman dodecahedron sit on a table in the foreground.

Simon, on the ground, sharply recoils at the sight of "Big Beagle!", actually Huntress Wizard in the shape of a giant eagle right behind him.

Time to post some Fionna & Cake season 2 work! Starting with some Simons from my boards for The Hare and the Sprout.

Recency bias maybe but The Crocodile Who Bit a Log is one of my favorite episodes of television.

Fionna & Cake season 2 episode 2 comes out tomorrow! 🐊🪵

Spotify stock graph showing a decrease of $28 in one day (Friday 10/24), the day after Spotify’s boycott became a trending topic on Bluesky. This is a roughly 5% decrease in value.

Y’all, Spotify’s stock price sunk by 5% in 1 day. YOU did this by spreading the word to boycott them for running ICE ads.

These billionaires only speak one language—money—so let’s keep up the pressure. Tell everyone you know to cancel their Spotify subscriptions. Send them to BoycottSpotify.com.
