Prismo kindly “musters” some new cheese crackers for Jake, as since he is a Wish Master, he can do that. In a panic, he runs over to Prismo to inform him that the cheese crackers are gone. Jake, a lover of food, eats cheese crackers until they run out. In the unsavoury category is the Lich, described as a “powerful undead being and the overall main antagonist” of the show. I will take as my case study the first episode of the sixth season, “Wake Up.” Taking place in Prismo’s Time Room, a party happens wherein many quirky and loveable guests, as well as some more unsavoury characters, congregate. Prismo, a shadowy pink figure dreamt up by an elderly brown man, appears for the first time in the first episode of the fifth season, “Finn the Human.” From Prismo’s first appearance in the series, there is a homoromantic relationship between him and Jake. For this piece, I’d like to focus on Prismo the Wish Master – my favourite character, voiced by The Big Sick’s Kumail Nanjiani – and Jake the Dog, examining their homoromantic, potentially erotic relationship. Because of this, the stretching, changing, malleable bodies of its characters, especially Jake the Dog, make total sense to the viewer. Adventure Time presents a hermetically sealed world – the land of Ooo. (Why, then, animation typically represents reality mimetically is another question for another day). Because animation is completely unbounded from reality, it can essentially do whatever it wants. My favourite aspect of animation is its ability to transform bodies into all shapes, sizes, colours, and textures.
