#Gunter was his baby and I'm willing to bet Simon hasn't spoken to him in 12 years

Calling it now that I think Simon is going to have to genuinely reconnect with Gunter and NEPTR and the other weirdos who kept him company in his time as Ice King.

#at #fionna and cake #simon petrikov #original #Gunter was his baby and I'm willing to bet Simon hasn't spoken to him in 12 years #Gunter loved him so much he used the crown to become another version of him #I think it could be a really beautiful way to explore the moments of love that existed in his life as Ice King #just some thoughts I'm having while rewatching a bunch of episodes from the original series. #Gunter is in most of ice king's scenes being his weird son #neptr also calls him papi #the man's mothering instinct stayed with him even in his insanity and he managed to find insane children to claim as his own #I just rewatched the Adventure Time holiday special with all the video tapes and I think those same tapes are going to come up #and Simon will notice that Gunter is with him in basically every one of them and realize #despite his soul crushing loneliness as Ice King he was never quite alone and maybe friends like Gunter still care about him #i don't think he should go back to being ice king i think he needs ways to make peace with every part of himself and his life #and also i really like Gunter i think he's a delight
