After the success of the first gorgeous entry into HBO Max‘s Adventure Time: Distant Lands series, we’ve been eagerly awaiting the next chapter. Now thanks to the Comic-Con@Home panel from Cartoon Network we know more about what’s coming next: Adventure Time: Distant Lands Obsidian. And we couldn’t be more excited!

One of the breakout relationships from Adventure Time was the love between Princess Bubblegum and Marceline the Vampire Queen. Though the beloved show didn’t canonize the couple until the finale, this new hour-long special will explore the pair’s life and love. And during the panel, the voice of Marceline, Olivia Olson, shared her thoughts on the history between the pair and how the new episode will explore what comes after that iconic kiss.

As reported by Polygon, Olson spoke about the challenges Marceline will face when the pair returns. “I think a big arc for her in Obsidian is getting over some of the barriers she’s put up for herself,” Olson said. “Her story started way before the Finn and Jake timeline of things. She’s gone through lifetimes of ups and downs with different people, seeing them come and go, and her walls are up really, really high. […] She decodes some of those themes, because ultimately she can’t move forward with Bubblegum unless she tackles those issues.” During the in depth panel Olson also performed a beautiful brand new song “Monster” which will feature in Adventure Time: Distant Lands Obsidian.

We can’t wait to see what’s in store for the lovers. Will they can overcome their own issues to truly be there for each other? Here’s hoping! Keep your eyes peeled for more info on Obsidian, including a trailer, and release date of the new episode of Distant Lands, which will surely be coming soon.

Over the course of Studio Ghibli’s 35 years of movie-making, only seven of its theatrical releases have been directed by people other than the company’s co-founders, Hayao Miyazaki and the late Isao Takahata.

A woman scorned is nothing to play with. And a Jeep Cherokee owner learned that this week — or so we think. On Wednesday, a video began making waves on social media, showing a woman dousing the inside of a vehicle with lighting fluid, and nearly lighting herself up in the process. That woman has now been identified as 26-year-old Sydney Parham, according to Fox 2 Detroit.

The scene involving Parham started off giving peak Waiting To Exhale vibes, which is likely why people speculate that she was reacting to the actions of a deceitful partner. The scene quickly turned left when the flame intended for the car alone, ended up too powerful for the fire-starter who was caught in the act. The imagery of Parham being blown back by the explosion she caused is what made people all over the internet intrigued about her identity.

Many attributed the act to a Wisconsin woman, Kelly S. Hayes, who was taken into custody for a similar infraction. However Hayes, according to local outlets and a police report, is alleged to have set her ex-boyfriend’s Chevy Impala on fire, not a Jeep Cherokee.

“The MPD and the Madison Fire Department responded to the 2000 block of Greenway Cross late Tuesday afternoon following reports that a parked car, a Chevy Impala, was becoming engulfed in flames,” the police report stated. “A witness told responding officers that a woman, armed with a baseball bat, had broken out the car’s windows prior to dousing it with gas and setting it on fire.” Hayes was caught after a witness turned her license plate number into authorities. They used the information to track her down. The car was deemed a total loss.

In Parham’s case, the fire department and authorities were called to an apartment complex on Wednesday around 8 am following reports of a car set on fire. Deputies identified Parham as the person seen flying into the air in the viral video that social media users have been watching on repeat. They tracked her down through the video of the encounter that was uploaded to YouTube.

Fox 2 reports that Parham has been charged with third-degree arson, a felony, and is currently being held on a $20,000 personal bond. She’s expected back in court on August 5th.

Only time will tell if we get the full story of what led up to the event and how this story ends. Until then, the Twitterverse will likely continue sharing the video with friends and making memes to add humor to a very dangerous situation.
