The news hit hardcore Adventure Time fans hard. They immediately took to social media to start their long goodbyes to Finn the Human and Jake the Dog.
"Why does Cartoon Network hate us?" asked one on Twitter.
Others turned to the show itself to express their emotions, while still trying to see the bright side.

One had a very practical question. "What will we cosplay now?" Notice the all-caps emotion.
Still, 2018 is a long way away. Everyone, including the creative team involved, has time to get themselves together.
How about we take our cues from celebrity fan John Leguizamo and simply relish in our sincere love for the show?
My favorite cartoon written by writers who were high! #AdventureTime https://t.co/pvmRrUDnR9
