Chomchom, Adventure Time and loooots of words

[Chomiczewska]

I have finally done it; it took me 3 years, but I have finally seen 10th season of Adventure Time! As well as the specials that started coming out last year!

There isn't any real reason why I didn't do it before, I still remember finishing season 9 and thinking "10th season will be finished soon, let's wait till then to see it" ... and then I just didn't do it lol But this year I got around watching and finishing, by my standards, a bunch of stuff and so AT also got its chance to get finished even tho I planned to do it last month

I'm honestly really happy that I got to the end of the show, I've been watching it ever since it first aired here back in 2011 and it's always been one of my favorite cartoons. It's also something that helped me learn english. Sometime, somehow in late 2012 I found a website that let you watch cartoons "very legally" in english. I really have no clue how I found it exactly, but I think I was looking for a way to watch AT, since somewhere in 2012 cable television stopped hosting cartoon network and so I couldn't just watch it on tv anymore. It just so happened that I found a working website in english before founding one in polish, 'coz looking on wikipedia when episodes aired it seems that by late 2012 Poland was already on 4th season, but I do know don't ask me how that the 1st episode I ever saw in english was episode 1 of season 3.

After finishing all the episodes that were out in english, I did eventually found a polish site tho, since back then I was really bad at english and so I knew what happened in some episodes based on animation alone, but more dialogue heavy episodes left me confused. I re-watched everything in polish and then for a year-ish kept watching stuff in both languages, until I got lost somewhere in season 5 and didn't know what I've already seen twice and what I didn't and since then I only watched the show in english.

I've said the show helped me learn english, but it's more like watching AT in 2 languages eventually lead me to watching My little pony in 2 languages as well and watching MLP lead me to english fan animation on youtube and comics on tumblr and that lead me into watching Doctor Who with polish subtitles in the summer of 2013 and somehow watching 7 seasons of that show made me a language genius in just 2 months lol Like really, in june I still needed google translate to understands simple sentences in the comics, but by september I only needed it when I encountered a new word. But even tho the show isn't directly responsible for improving my english, I do think it would take me much longer to get good at it if I didn't start watching AT in english back when I did.

I remember that after hearing "I'm just your problem" for the first time I really wanted to know what the song was about, but even tho the episode was out in polish, I couldn't find a clip or even lyrics for the song anywhere and so I put english lyrics into google translate and then in a word file I tried to fix all the broken sentances, so that the text made sense lol

Anyway, if you read all of the text about you might be wondering why did I type this and well;
1) I honestly just really enjoyed getting back into AT, even if it was to finish it and wanted to ramble a lil'. I especially enjoyed the 4 long episodes that came out in 2020/2021 they were really fun and them and as well as season 10 had a lot of call backs to previous seasons, so it made my brain gears move a little trying to remember where the stuff came from and what their story was
2) one of the task for Novemver check-up is to write an appreciation thread and tbh I feel like this is one of the main driving forces for me to actually finish this show, since ever since the task was posted it really made me want to finish it and then write a thread about it lol

So, to everyone who actually read all of this, here's your prize:

And if you're ever bored and feel like watching something, I'd say give Adventure Time a try if you haven't seen it; it starts of as one off adventures, but it eventually gets more backstory and it's really fun to discover it

Thanks for reading​

Congratulations! This was a cute read. I've watched some of Adventure Time a handful of years ago. I think I only watched 2-3 seasons, though... I had no idea they had that many seasons now! Maybe I'll watch it again someday. Maybe.
