Under the Candy Kingdom chocolate bridge in the waters, he discovers a diary wrapped in plastic, and spends the day entranced with the goings-on of a teenage every-girl named B.P.ĭespite being exquisitely written as an imitation of a teenager’s diary, the narrative is completely cliche, and that’s what’s fantastic about it-even though it’s the most basic checklist of pubescent growing pains ever (acne, social anxiety, angst), there’s still something compelling about it, both to the viewer and TV. TV interacts with the outside world much as he does in video games, teleporting and invisibilizing to avoid all forms of social contact. In one of his more astute moments as a parent, Jake sends him on a chocolate bar errand to the Candy Kingdom to get him out of the house. TV (coincidentally, voiced by Dan Mintz, also the voice actor for Tina Belcher) doesn’t look too happy battling Silver Dragons in a desktop RPG, or rather, running away from them in-game. “The Diary” centers on TV Rainicorn, whose overly basement-dwelling ways have Lady Rainicon concerned for the rotundest of her half-dog/half-Rainicorn children. “The Diary” works against that energy and explores fantasy as not just a valid method of self-discovery and socialization, but a necessary and brave one.

But in these now-infamous genderbent episodes, there’s a stigma against fanficcers the man behind Fionna and Cake fictions was none other than Ice King, and that’s a hefty insult in Adventure Time-speak. It’s the eponymous time again!Īlong with Tina’s ‘friend-fictions’ in Bob’s Burgers, the Fionna and Cake episodes brought fanfiction to the forefront of public consciousness, in a surreal and hilarious way that embarrassed many viewers. In Adventure Time‘s “The Diary,” Jake and TV become engrossed in an unfinished diary and puzzle together its unwritten conclusion.
