Edit: DISCLAIMER: This may only work if they are just hunting for …

Fionna & Cake is really blowing me away I am a mid-tier Adventure Time fan at best — I began a re-watch years ago and never finished. But Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake has really captured me, to the point that I might begin recommending it to non-fans, even if they don’t know the whole arc of the original series. Not only is F&C amazing for its creativity (which is very similar to…

I’ve found myself that every time I want to start a new hobby, I overthink it. Over complicate it and try to map out every detail before actually starting the journey. If whatever hobby isn’t breaking your bank, start it right away. Be kind to yourself and allow yourself to fall and get back up in your learning journey. Take the gym for example…
