How “Adventure Time” shaped my well-being, as a person, artist, and aspiring animator The most significant time of my life didn’t happen in the blink of an eye, but rather it gradually came to me since my early high school years and until now at college age. Surprisingly, it’s not school-related. It was about a kids’ cartoon that hooked me up since my older brother introduced it to me, called “Adventure Time (with Finn and Jake)”. I know it turns people off because of how crazy, trippy and…

call him a tyrant. But before we get to all that, let’s start with a little background information.

The name Lenin was later adopted while doing undercover work…

called Terminator. We were really bad at it at first,but we gradually got better. We went to many restaurants such as Bubba Gumps, which is based off the movie Forrest Gump.

I knew almost all of them and I was shocked because I haven’t watched the movie in quite a while. We went to another seafood restaurant that was right next to the hotel and I had the most amazing shrimp alfredo.…

As seen in the prologue, he says that the gods may have been kings or leaders in the past. Snorri may have intentionally done this, or it could have been more of a bias of his intelligence. We don’t know if any myths are euhemerized for sure, but there is quite the possibility that some features have been modified, while the meaning…
