    I'm not sure there's much to know. Different kinds of sport fencing do things differently, but thrusting attacks are usually somewhere between legal and the only permissible type of attack. Using a pistol grip means that your thrust is lined up with your knuckles, so the basic movement is like a punch. I couldn't tell you anything about specific kinds of pistol grips, though.

    So I was watching the Patriot and the message that I got from it was it that its totes okay for children to shoot people as long as those people are foreign oppressors.

  • "you duck spawn, refined creature, you try to be cynical, yokel, but all that comes out of it is that you're a dunce!!!!! you duck plug!"

    I thought the message was "Mel Gibson kills Englishmen with a hatchet". As for your pick - that's actually a tricky subject, sort of.

    How did I guess it would have to do with that protein.


    It's one of a family of proteins that are named after hedgehogs.  Someone apparently had a sense of humor, and Sega hasn't C&D'd whoever did that (the way Nintendo did after someone named a cancer gene Pokémon).

    I thought that Chris-chan proved that years ago.

    Because the show panders to shippers.  Or something like that.


    Although writing erotic fanfiction is hardly enough to classify someone as a "creepy pervert."

    But virtually everything I found was PB/Marceline


    Most of the ship teasey stuff is between Finn and PB or Finn and Flame Princess

    It really doesn't, which makes the shipping wars all the more baffling.


    Though apparently the one writer liked to strongly imply Bubblegum/Marceline and got fired for it or something.

    It does. It really does.


    Haven't you seen virtually all of PB and Finn's interactions? Or every episode with Flame Princess starting with Incendium?

    Dude. That's like... the fandom's biggest ship, hands down.


    Hold on, if you give me five minutes, I can PM you with about fifty different PB/M images sitting on my Tumblr's dash.

    Why?



    It's only hinted at in one episode, while pretty much every other episode drops little PB/Finn or (post Too Young) PB/Flame Princess hints.





  • If you must eat a phoenix, boil it, do not roast it. This only encourages their mischievous habits.

    Presumably because people a) don't give a shit if the show doesn't support it very much, or b) they just like the pairing.


    That said, I hear that the staff themselves support the PB/M ship, so perhaps they're picking up hints you're not.

    Till shade is gone, till water is gone, into the Shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath, to spit in Sightblinder’s eye on the last Day.
    I've only seen the first season, but I know I've seen art of the pairing done by actual artists who work on the show, at least.

    I've never seen the show outside of the clip showing Marceline singing that song, but I know there's a 261-page Tumblr dedicated to the pairing, so...

    Oh my Glob.

  • If you must eat a phoenix, boil it, do not roast it. This only encourages their mischievous habits.

    Well, like I said, I don't even watch the show, so I'd be hard-pressed to ship anything.


    However, that song does make me wonder, and from what else people have said of the episode, it wouldn't surprise me.


    I mean, not trying to justify the ship or anything; be pretty dumb of me. But from what I know of it, it doesn't particularly surprise me that there's such a huge following for the pairing.

  • Definitely not gay.

    it doesn't particularly surprise me that there's such a huge following for the pairing.



    Why?

  • If you must eat a phoenix, boil it, do not roast it. This only encourages their mischievous habits.

    Because the pairing is particularly cute, which gives the relationship an edge over regular, kinda boring relationships.


    Because Princess Bubblegum and Marceline fit each other much better in terms of visual style than Finn fits with either of them.


    Because there's so few lesbian relationships in western media, even teased ones, that fans tend to grab hold of any ones with a decent support in canon.


    Take your pick.

  • One foot in front of the other, every day.

    The extent to which people take Adventure Time so seriously baffles me. I certainly appreciate the show and like the characters, but the whole show plays out like a chase scene between a clown car and a horse carriage full of otters. It thrives on chaotic, improvisational fun, and I think experiencing it otherwise is missing the point. 

  • If you must eat a phoenix, boil it, do not roast it. This only encourages their mischievous habits.

    I think it's silly to classify shipping as inherently something serious. Many people just have a bit of fun with it, artists might draw fanart for a variety of reasons (wanting to improve their drawing by mimicking an art style, just wanting to see the two characters, etc), fanfic authors might write fanfic for the same reason.


    Just a bit of fun for many people.

    Mind you, I only hear about shipping in context of the drama it creates.
