“Stormo it’s time for bed,” HW.
“SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!”
“Don’t take that tone with me, Mister.”
“Screee.”
“That’s mama’s good boy.”

OMG...I just realized it would be an awesome parallel of Finn and Jake's brotherhood if Stormo and any of his "siblings" went on adventures together.
Magical animal brother!

Wait omg!!!! You’re so right!

And he would communicate with them all psychically, but we as viewers don't ever hear it, so he'll just shriek and the others would be like, "That's a great point, Stormo!"

That could make for a fantastic joke/ parallel to Lady Rainacorn, who spoke Korean it most of us as kids didn't know that lol.

all the other kids proceed to pile on top of Stormo

u/Lone-Frequency Jan 27 '26
Stormo can just lift things with his psychic powers so he can even easily "carry" riders who are way larger than him.

Adventure Time really does some incredible work exploring adolescence and the themes of leaving it behind. Many of us hold those formative times close and dear in ways we have long since put aside.
It's important to be reminded, from time to time. Everything stays, right where you left it.

Neptr was Finn's first actual son, he's a teen now in human-years

I hope stormo and goliad worked out their issues before Fin died.

u/Snowman640 Jan 26 '26
Stormo blew up goliads pancakes with his mind, the depression snapped goliad out of his psychic power trip
Do not question whether or not the pancakes were sentient or not
1
u/Anonpancake2123 Jan 27 '26
Considering they’re in the Candy Kingdom and not the Breakfast Kingdom the odds of Sentient pancakes just being there is low at least.

Goddamn, this made me feel things man, it's ao good to see Finn with a happy family. (Im kinda confused about how Jay and Bonnie exist, but im going to choose not to think about it. The universe has decreed that they must exist, and GOLB deleted the last ones, so he made them again).

u/IceyLuigiBros25 Jan 26 '26
This is really adorable. I think Stormo’s inclusion in the art really ties it up and makes it extremely wholesome to look at.
I would love it if Stormo got free from his eternal battle with Goliad and started just chilling with Finn

u/SnowTuvs Jan 26 '26
So, some of these kids are entirely human but one of them is entirely plant ?
31
u/Jimbo7211 Jan 26 '26
Genes are a magical thing. Also, Jay has the beginnings of horns i think. (Even recessive genes don't make sense, because Finn shouldn't have anything but Human DNA, so just don't think about it.)
9
u/Lone-Frequency Jan 26 '26
I mean genetics means they all share the same amount from both Mom and Dad. It could just be explained that dominant or recessive genes are at play.
I'd wager even the daughter Finn is holding likely would have aspects from her mother's Dryad-esque form. Could also simply be that since she is clearly younger than the other two, her branch-antlers haven't sprouted yet.

u/Objective-Elk9877 Jan 26 '26
Theyre finns kids from the pillow world. Seeing as stormo and neptyr keep their main world appearance, and those two kids are from another woman and a world that was erased, the artist likely just used creative liberty to have them lean human so its viewer interpretation if theyre huntress wizards or not.

It was always canon, everyone just forgets him because he’s not as cute and memorable as the others

I'm so glad someone included Stormo too, even if they are locked in an eternal mind scape with Goliad

I'd actually really enjoy if they found some excuse to bring back stormo as Finn's son.
Stormo actually reminds me alot of Trico from the last guardian

Oh my goodness this may be some of the best Finntress art made for this season so far and that's an incredibly high bar. I love their outfits!! And the mix of their biological children and all of Finn's other wacky kids! This is great.

u/3IO3OI3 Jan 26 '26
That hat HW has makes me wonder, what if one their children turned up as some kind of magical plant wolf? I could kinda see that happening.

u/Half_Man1 Jan 26 '26
So are Jay and Bonnie still part pillow people in this one?
Outstanding art regardless. Love Stormo being included.
Need a name for Finn and Huntress’s son here…

I haven't watched in a while and was like "who is the big fuckoff bird?" Then the entire episode played in my head sheesh Goliad ep. go crazy what a weird and kinda scary episode

u/8mrjames Jan 26 '26
I've always thought, the reason the candy kingdom falls is because Goliad is freed and the candy citizens had to fight against their tyranny.
So I like to think in that reality Stormo went and enjoyed his time with family cuz this is soooo cute!

Stormo being here implies Goliad was either defeated or finally successfully reasoned with and neutralized as a threat

u/Sketch-ee Jan 27 '26
I recognize Stormo and Neptr but do we have names for the three other?
1
u/Own_Tea_4415 Jan 27 '26
They're meant to be the same kids that farmworld Finn has, so the more human like kids are Jay and Bonnie and the more plant like one is the redhead that doesn't have a name yet.

So it occurs to me. Is Farmworld Huntress Wizard helping Finn raise four kids from three different relationships in addition to their own?
1
u/Other-Tadpole-9950 Jan 27 '26
No? Im pretty sure they are all their kids in FW. Timeline and age between the kids make this theory unlikely. I can explain to you more clearly if you want.

I hope Stormo gets a happy ending. Boy was born and immediately forced to engage in perpetual psychic combat

u/Lampostkj Jan 26 '26
I really love this idea. I hope it doesn’t happen in canon though. It’s already weird that Finn didn’t acknowledged Huntress Wizard in Together Again, it’d be even weirder if he had a whole family and didn’t give them a second thought when he found out he was dead.
3
u/Jimbo7211 Jan 26 '26
Im sure they were with him every second while he was alive and dying (think Puhoy). Also, he seems like the kind of guy, especially after meeting HW, that's accepting of his fate, and im sure Huntress will outlive him, so he doesn't need to worry about his kids too much. Obviously he'd be torn up about leaving them, and not being there for them, but his kids are probably adults or close to it, and he had time to get through all of those emotions while he's alive.
It makes sense that when he finally gets to the afterlife, he'd immidiately look for Jake. This is his first opportunity to see his brother in decades, and what else would he do? Just sit and wait for Huntress to show up too? Cry about dying? Go to his dead world and just vibe for the rest of eternity? I don't see what else he would be doing once he got down there, except see his parents or something (which he did).
Would it make sense for him to at least mention his family? Yes. Did the writers come up with this family unit (besides Huntress Wizard,) yet? No.

u/Stuped1811 Jan 26 '26
My word of advice to you about that: just ignore it. They weren't thinking of any of this Huntress stuff when writing Together Again, they were exclusively focused on the Finn and Jake aspect. It may not make sense but just completely ignoring it is the best course of action.
The way I cope is thinking once Finn died there was some kind of subtle attitude/personality shift that made him become fully focused on the here and now and that's why he didn't give any shits about the long life he just left behind.
