And whatever this was.

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"

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

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

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

I know what I'm doing.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.
