How the last few episodes of Fionna and Cake have been
(No text version under cut)
I’ve been waiting a year to post this
I have not been the same since Zheng Yi Sao became a character in our flag means death. It means so much to me that pirate-related media is representing her more because I never would have known about her and she is too cool to be forgotten.
For years pop culture either portrayed her as the racist "submissive asian woman" stereotype or ignored her completely. It's infuriating. Now though we have a strong portrayal of her in both doctor who and our flag means death!! Let me tell you a few things about the rightfully named "Pirate queen".
On average, most pirates died 2 years after starting piracy. Edward Teach died after two years, Stede Bonnet died after one and Israel Hands impressively died around 8 years after starting, all executed. Our pirate queen died at 68 after a successful 9 year career. In fact, she only stopped because she was made to surrender and lived the rest of her years in effective retirement.
She inherited her late husbands pirate fleets and commanded around 1,800 ships. Blackbeard is believed to have a maximum of 5- likely because he didn't get along with people well enough to amass enough crews to run them. She had the largest fleet in history.
Zheng Yi Sao was a leader and undoubtedly one of the most successful pirates ever and yet we dare to forget her.

honestly, the best example of the mandela effect is the line hufflepuffs are particularly good finders, becuase i could have SWORN that it was part of canon. before i got into starkid i somehow knew that line, and swear that i read it in the goblet of fire or on pottermore or something, but i’ve read through everything possible and its just not there. ever.
there is this girl in my chorus class, and shes like a really weird harry potter purist, who at the mention of avpm told me that it ruined both harry potter and musicals (i don’t know either), and she refused to watch a minute of it. but when i said i was a hufflepuff what was the first thing she said?
HUFFLEPUFFS ARE PARTICULARLY GOOD FINDERS
I asked about it, and she told me she swore she read it in one of the books. when i told her it wasn’t, she was completely shocked and googled the line, and was shook when all that came up was avpm stuff. she told me she had never seen the gif before either.
in conclusion, everyone managed to learn this line and no one knows what happened. thank you for coming to my TED talk
very sloppy art of the iconic "boys night" panel from the fionna and cake comics (by natasha allegri) done with their series designs.
So there’s this experiment where researchers take a bunch of preschoolers and give them a marshmallow and they say, “ok, you can eat this now, or you can wait thirty minutes and then we’ll give you two marshmallows.”
And they leave them alone with hidden cameras and watch the struggle of willpower and it’s supposed to say something about delayed gratification.
And this thing gets used to explain why some people are better with money than others, or make various other better life choices. The Aesop here is if you can delay your satisfaction, you’ll get ahead.
But here’s a proposed version of that experiment that’s more realistic.
Give the kid the marshmallow and explain it all as above. Then come back 30 minutes later and say, “Sorry, actually we ran out of marshmallows, so even though you didn’t eat yours, you’re not getting a second one. Other kids got two, but you don’t. Also, every kid with fewer than two marshmallows has to give back their original marshmallow. Sorry we didn’t tell you that earlier now hand it over.”
Then call them back for a repeat experiment where you give them the same offer. See how many kids scarf that marshmallow down in two seconds flat because like hell they’ll trust you again.
