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.

[ID: Scum Villain fanart of a modern AU. Luo Binghe and Shen Yuan are ice skating, and Luo Binghe grins while half-falling onto Shen Yuan and saying bashfully, "Sorry... I just don't think I'm getting it." Shen Yuan laughs nervously and exclaims, "Ahha... it's OK. That's what I'm here for!" He thinks, "Holy shit, how is he so... solid?!"
The scene cuts to Ming Fan scowling and saying, "I should tell him that Luo Binghe used to play ice hockey with me." Ning Yingying grins, "I think A-Luo would actually kill you."
Next, a comic starts wih Shen Yuan pulling a blanket around Luo Binghe's shoulders and saying, "Like this." The two are both blushing, and their breath puffs out in the cold. Then Luo Binghe sweeps Shen Yuan into an embrace to also cover him with the blanket, making Sen Yuan shout, "That's not what I showed you!" Luo Binghe smirks, "It isn't?" End ID]
it's been literal years since either of these episodes aired so I can't possibly be the only person to notice but like. this is an intentional parallel, right. it has to be.

Alongside the commentaries, the guy who ripped the Camp Camp Blu-Ray ripped just about everything else, including the most adorable Blu-Ray menu I have ever seen, and I saw no harm in sharing it with you all.
