anyone else rewatching this clip and feeling fucked up about it now

That voice, that laugh... ah, so beguiling. You may have served your purpose for what you were to become forgotten, but in my eyes you deserved more.

Heads up: this is a 60 minute video, so grab some snacks. The vampires of Adventure Time were based on tarot cards, and the influence of the Major Arcana creeps deep into the Stakes miniseries. Stakes was not just about hunting vampires; it was about Marceline’s personal journey of dealing with her immortal existence and finding the strength to keep going. Those whom Marceline fights against represent characteristics and elements in her own life, and this makes the Stakes miniseries a very holistic experience. The tarot apply toward Marceline just as much as they do to the vampires. Join me in this video essay as I explore the rich narrative behind Marcy and the vamps!

Please watch Adventure time: Stakes!

I really liked The Moon vamp that had the voice from the deepest pits of hell.

Vampire. I like The Hierophant.
