I think one underrated tragedy of Ice King's scars is that he probably took away Simon's sense of levity.
Like in his very limited appearances before Simon is consumed by the crown we see he's kind of a silly dude. In his introduction video, he only put on the crown in order to playfully tease his fiancee. Plus watching him make light of the loneliness and general misery for a young girl in a broken world. He was a dedicated man, who was generous and loved with his whole heart and threw himself one hundred percent into everything he did. He was also a fun lil guy.
But after almost a millennia of being a mad man, the brunt of every joke, someone who only existed as a broken caricature of himself and couldn't be counted on to take anything seriously, I imagine he was done with it. Now he wants to focus back on his academic endeavors, on his role as a father figure in Marcy's life, on being a proper adult. Any attempts to be silly could easily remind everyone - including himself- of Ice King, something he's eager to avoid.
So his jokes and jibes and general lightheartedness turned to sarcasm and self deprecating comments.

It started as a random idea, more like a throwaway thought, really. Tommy was just checking the weather for the next few days – his hot pilot boyfriend always likes to be prepared – while they were hanging out, and he casually mentioned that “it’s gonna be nice on Saturday, perfect barbecue weather,” which got Buck to mention how they often have family barbecues at Bobby and Athena’s. Somehow, the conversation spiraled, and Buck’s not sure who threw out a more concrete idea, but here they are now, standing side by side in Tommy’s kitchen, preparing food – Buck’s currently slicing veggies for a salad, while Tommy takes care of the meat – for the barbecue where they invited way too many people than Tommy’s backyard can probably fit. It really is nice weather, the sliding door leading from the kitchen to the backyard open and letting in warm sunshine and a soft breeze that makes the air feel cooler. They work in pleasant silence, the only sound is quiet music playing from the speaker, and Buck can’t help a fond smile when he hears his boyfriend hum along, so off-key Buck’s not sure he even knows the song, but it’s still adorable.
The silence is disrupted by the doorbell ringing, and before Tommy can even move, Buck is dropping the knife on the cutting board, wiping his hands, and sprinting towards the door, shouting an “I got it!” over his shoulder. He’s followed by an echo of Tommy’s fondly amused chuckles. So he’s a little excited, sue him – they haven’t had a family day like this in a while, and there was only one he brought Tommy to, all of their schedules not so easy to align. And today his whole family will be here, including their spouses and children, and Tommy invited a couple of his friends and their families, too, and it’ll be just a big, loud, chaotic get-together that he’s hosting with his boyfriend. Buck never hosted one of these before, and he’s really enjoying it so far, and he just wants everyone to have fun.

I made a teacher oc omg. I almost never make fan characters so I hope yall like her!! She teaches "compassion" and swaps the three into each other's bodies to make them "better understand each other's hardships. This was a way to integrate goofy bodyswap shenanigans into their world that spiralled further and further away from her involvement but oh well hehe
Thank you @dhmis-autism for allowing me to bounce off ideas <3 <3
More about her under the cut!
Understanding and compassion can and do take many forms within the three of them, but she only sees one way to express it and it's through very theatrical gestures that don't come naturally to any one of them. Her song would be all about how you don't know what someone else is going through, and that anyone can be secretly struggling.
A great message but executed in a heavily-watched and high-pressure environment to share the "right kind of vulnerability," and when she's inevitably dissatisfied by the trio's subtle way of caring for each other the shoes come out and she forcibly makes them to tour the dark part of each other's minds, and experience the physical discomfort of being in a completely different body, insisting that it's "dishonest" to keep things hidden between "close friends"
She doesn't like long stretches where her students talk to each other without her "guidance", and she quickly loses patience and her temper if she feels they're not expressing their feelings or compassion towards one another "correctly." Due to the vulnerability she encourages, even the smallest of her insults are shocking and very personal, gathered through her guided tours of each others minds
I would want her to be voiced by Becky but overlayed with Vivienne Soan's voice when she yells. I think it's fun like that.

Talking about the DPxDC crossovers—
You know what is better than "Bruce adopts Danny and/or his sisters after the Fentons mess up" trope? Jack and Maddie adopt the batkids after he messes up.
Listen, I love the "Bad Parents Maddie and Jack" Angst as much as the next phan, but this is way funnier, catarthic and likely to happen.
Just— all the batsiblings having fudge with hot drinks under an improvised blank fort the giant goofy man (their new dad, apparently?) made for them, on-site, and listening silly (real) ghost stories. Meanwhile, the short woman in a cyan hazmat suit is slamming Batman against the floor back and forth, like a kid playing with a doll.
