In 'Adventure Time', Finn the Human (also known as Finn Mertens) starts the series at the tender age of 12. As the series progresses, we see Finn celebrating his birthday several times -- all the way up to a seventeen-year-old.
The show's creators took this far, fairly easily: Throughout, as he grows soon after reaching one milestone or another throughout life stages themselves first come into view and again at Rome' s Tonight the girl we once knew becomes the woman commemorated wih embarrassing new"belonging".
'Sussy' has shot up as a byword almost entirely thanks to a game called 'Among Us'. It's just a shorten form of "suspicious," basically. In the game, players now use it to "out" someone they suspect may be the Impostor. The phrase has gained currency and is now used in jest outside of the game as well—a way to poke fun at suspect behavior.
Fin is one of those side characters in 'Shingeki no Kyojin' (SNK) who doesn’t get much spotlight but still leaves an impression. He’s part of the Survey Corps and shows up during the Return to Shiganshina arc, where the team fights to reclaim Wall Maria. I always liked how he represented the 'everyman' soldier—brave but not overpowered, just doing his best in a terrifying world. His design is pretty generic, but that’s what makes him relatable. He’s not a titan shifter or some genius strategist; he’s just another guy trying to survive.
What’s interesting about Fin is how his presence adds weight to the story’s stakes. When minor characters like him die, it reminds you how brutal SNK’s world is. It’s not just the main cast at risk—everyone’s vulnerable. I remember feeling a pang during his off-screen death; it wasn’t dramatic, just abrupt and sad. That’s SNK’s signature move: making you care about characters you barely know.
Gigi Dandy's world is a rollercoaster of emotions, and their love story is etched with moments that leave you clutching your heart. The scene where Gigi silently watches Dandy walk away after a heated argument, their fingers twitching like they want to reach out but can’t, is pure agony. The tension is so thick you could slice it with a knife. Their love isn’t loud; it’s in the unspoken words, the lingering glances, the way Gigi’s voice cracks when they say, "I’ll always wait." Another gut punch is the flashback to their first meeting—Dandy, bruised and defiant, and Gigi, offering a hand without pity. It’s raw, real, and makes their later struggles hit harder. The moment Dandy sacrifices their dream to stay by Gigi’s side, only for Gigi to push them away "for their own good," is the kind of tragic irony that stings for days. Their love is defined by these messy, beautiful choices—where holding on hurts as much as letting go.
What kills me is how the story doesn’t shy from showing the aftermath. Gigi’s empty apartment, Dandy’s hollow laughter at parties, the way both still light two candles on rainy nights—because some habits are harder to break than promises. The most brutal part? They never stop loving each other. Even when Dandy marries someone else, the way their eyes flicker to Gigi’s ring finger says everything. The fic doesn’t give them a fairytale ending, just a quiet scene of them sitting on opposite sides of a park bench, sharing silence like they used to share dreams. It’s heartbreaking because it’s real—love isn’t always enough, but it never truly dies.
