The way martin reunited with two versions of his kid just to die 2 minutes later. And then Fionna keeping his jacket for the next episodes. This show is really destroying my mental stability.

FIONNA AND CAKE SPOILERS!

So I just watched the new episodes…

[anthurak]

Okay but what makes Bonnie's reply to Simon here actually HILARIOUS is the fact that I think we can all agree that the natural response to finding out that your arch-enemy whom you legitimately hate and don't actually have long, deep-seeded homoerotic feelings for is actually your lover in some alternate universe SHOULD be some combination of shock, disbelief and general confusion. That this prospect is something completely alien to you that likely never would have crossed your mind.

In short, the response should be pretty much 'What the actual jesus tap-dancing SHIT are you talking about?!'

But Bonnie doesn't do ANY of that. She doesn't seem confused or shocked or surprised at this. Almost as if the idea of her and Marceline being in love is NOT some out-there, alien concept in the slightest... Instead she just gets ANGRY at the prospect in probably-pretty-well-telegraphed 'I'm repressing some shit' matter.

In short, Bonnie's whole 'I would NEVER fall in love with her!' is about as textbook 'I hate her and also want to smooch her' as Marcie slaughtering her minions that dare to smack-talk Bonnie and I love it XD

#1 dad

Literally bmo is a character that makes my heart hurt like no other. A little robot with a permanently pure and expansive heart and imagination, built to be a friend. One of the things that hit me most in the adventure time series finale wasnt that everyone we had gotten to know was seemingly gone but that bmo remained thousands of years later. And him all alone in a world where everyone was just skeletons, moved to tears and self sacrifice. He is literally on cosmic entity level to me. Golb literally make him the eternal protector of childhood or some shit and make sure he has friends across every universe forever.

I saw this post from @marcydaydream and it really made me want to draw them with inspiration from Hanna K’s drawing (below)

Partially as a joke and partially as a for real analysis

My boy was born a dad huh. Like his literal first impulse after chasing Betty is to lecture her? Goodness. What an awkward man.

But also man, I just felt kinda bad for Betty because of course she's gonna apologize. She just got lectured. It's okay. Simon actually gets over his awkwardness and confesses though.

But here's the thing...

What's the difference in saying "by my side" and "by your side"? Note the word choice.

Maybe Simon would've gone on that trip with Betty if he had thought to. But he simply didn't think to. People are like that. They don't always think.

But by saying "by my side", he's not going to "her side". Betty would've stayed. That girl was deadset on him and she only needed a reason. But Simon didn't ask to be with her, he asked her to be with him - right where he's at.

Again, not inherently selfish, but again pointing to an overall clearer picture of their relationship. Betty fell for the guy who would not notice or question the fact that she will drop everything for him.

Like let's take that and compare it with adolescent Bubbline. Two very independent individuals who clashed so often because they were alone for so long that fitting someone else into their lives was hard. Their romance is centered around learning to make that space, to do away with walls.

If a more independent individual was placed in Betty and Simon's role, they would go on that trip and then come back later when they're done. They could balance the priorities between their pursuits and their romantic interests. (If it was Bubblegum, for example, she would pursue her scientific passions and obligations to the point that it became detrimental to her and Marcy. Again, a contrast to the Betty and Simon romance).

But for Simon and Betty, she had that space all set and ready - allowed it to encompass everything. And Simon lacked the understanding or the comprehension of how dearly their relationship desperately needed some walls, some limitations, and yeah, some boundaries.

So, yeah, it's realistic and not a fantasy romance. But it's not realistic in a kind way. It's not fantasy in that he sweeps her off her feet, and jumps on the bus with her. It's realistic in that their relationship wasn't perfect and all the little imperfections grew and compounded as imperections in relationships do.

Simon wouldn't wish for Betty to do this to herself. But neither her or him ever had the chance to know if they would have figured it out eventually. Or if Simon would just keep feeding Betty's habits and inclinations till death do they part.

[bedknees]

The fact that Simon's eyes are wizard white in his recounting of meeting Betty communicates to me at least that we're supposed to look at his flashbacks with skepticism. That this is his rose tinted, unreliable view of how it went down.

Something important is missing and I think that's the point. I don't know what the detail or details omitted would be, but I'm fully confident that's going to be a big part of episode 9.
