An eternally long lifespan w THIS FUCKED UP OF A MENTAL STATE IS SO SCREWED UP GHGH- Like poor Simon god damn…! u kno he’d rather just keep on not sorting out his baggage and trauma forever too cuz it’d be too complicated… too much… force him to admit things about himself and about BETTY that he really really doesn’t want to… better to just leave it all unexamined.. pack it all into lil boxes so he can just try to ignore it and pretend it doesn’t exist… HE GOTTA LIVE FOREVER W IT THO… *ME BANGING ON SIMONS DOOR AT 3 IN THE MORNING*: “SIMON U GOTTA ACCEPT URSELF!!!! LOVE URSELF!!!! ACKNOWLEDGE N ACCEPT EVEN THE “BAD” PARTS OF URSELF!!!! SIMON PLEASE!!!!! SIMON EVEN PPL WHO LOVE YOU AND WHO YOU LOVE CAN HURT YOU!!!! ACKNOWLEDGE IT!!!

I feel like I’m probably exaggerating the Betty ones cuz he #never really outright expresses feeling hurt by her. but also I feel like!!!! he’s the sorta guy!!! WHO WOULDNT EXPRESS THAT! #cuz he loves her!!!!! sO MUCH!! and she did so much and pushed herself so far and was trying so hard… and also she’s fucking basically d #dead now!!!! it’d be like. disrespectful of her memory…. to feel that. also what’s even the point of expressing that pain she’s gone!!!!! #she did all of that.. for him… how could he…. just. spit in the face of that #im writing those last few tags in the he perspective of simons mind btw… the things he tells himself…. #anyway gGHG MAYBE I AM PROBABLY PROJECTING MORE ISSUES ON HIM THEN HE ACTUALLY HAS BUT WHO CARES MAN #I’m allowed ghghgh- #I wanna draw art of Simon having a traumatic flashback to the ‘Dont worry ull be obliterated soon!’ line and hating himself for it #ice king isn’t him!!! it isn’t him! it’s not him!!! why does that hurt it shouldn’t hurt she wasn’t talking to HIM #BUT SHE WAS #SHE WAS… she didn’t think of the ice king as Simon but he IS… HE IS AND JUST. URGHGH

thinking about the fionna and cake finale and. i've been seeing people upset or annoyed that betty & simon's story focused on how simon had to learn to recognize that what they had was unbalanced and not necessarily fair, because they wanted betty to also realize that she placed too much of her self worth in simon, and they wanted her to learn to live for herself.

i think these people forgot about the episode in adventure time that does this. mainly because, at the end of the episode, it seems like she didn't learn anything at all.

In s10e11, "Temple of Mars," Finn, Jermaine, and Betty have to go through a mind maze to find Jake--and many parts of the maze are relevant to Betty's obsession with Simon/Ice King.

The second room of the "maze" has a chalkboard with a long and complicated equation on it. Betty tries to solve it, thinking it will help, while an Ice Thing messes up the equation as she tries to solve it, preventing her from doing so. It's meant to represent how trying to "solve" the crown's curse is leading nowhere, and that Betty is trying for a hopeless cause.

The last room is the most important to Betty's story, though--it's a window into her past, where she realizes that she needed to take more time for herself. She needed to focus on her, instead of dropping everything for Simon. She makes this realization and changes things for the hypothetical, maze room version of Betty--but naturally, this can't change the past. She's made her choices, and she has to live with that.

I think at the end of the episode, when she takes the "wrong" message away from all of this--she dedicates herself to trying even harder to "fix" Simon--it's mostly because she's scared to accept that she... not wasted, but lost so much of her life because she was so focused on what Simon wanted, or what she thought that Simon needed. She's also still under the effect of the Magic Man hat, so she's still affected by the sadness/madness of that, which likely twisted her view of the situation as well.

But then in the AT finale, she makes her choice to leave Simon. She does it through wishing for his safety, sure, but she still makes the choice to leave him. And in Fionna and Cake, what we see of her--or what's left of her, because we don't know how she's changed, really--is something bigger than what she was before. GOLBetty seems to have realized her own part in the unbalancing of the relationship between them. But that's not what Fionna and Cake is about--it's about Simon, and how he has to move on. Betty has already moved on by the time we see her again. She's showing Simon that, and she's showing him that he has to move on, too. But it's her choice. She could have stayed with him, but...

She takes the bus to the airport. And she takes it without him.

#adventure time #fionna and cake #simon petrikov #betty grof #adventure time analysis #fionna and cake analysis #idk. thinking thoughts. #they're so important 2 me. they are so in love #they had to MOVE ON and they have to LIVE WITHOUT EACH OTHER and they have to do whats right for themselves and im so normal abt it i swear #and betty made that realization earlier than simon did but she was too afraid to admit it until now #and she was right!!! and simon recognized that!!! and he let her go!!! and she wanted to go!!!! im so. augh. #also hot take but some ppl saying they wanted betty to “realize that she was also at fault” are just taking the whole situation as like #“uwu simon didnt do anything WRONG betty never TOLD HIM how was he supposed to know it was happening so really its HER FAULT” like girl no #they are both at fault. she shouldve done something but he shouldve noticed #augh. im unwell about them. anyways

It's funny how people will say Princess Bubblegum deserved what Winter King did to her like she didn't get multiple episodes learning that being a psychotic controlling dictator for the sake of keeping her people safe isn't a good thing and that instead she deserves 100 years of madness because some nerd decided it would be easier to literally dump his problems on someone else

#trust me i love simon hes literally my favorite fictional character of all time but he WAS WRONG FOR WHAT HE DID #i dont care that he had an amazing voice that has literally nothing to do with his actions #the fact that some people unironically think he did nothing wrong because hes “hot” makes me furious #i feel like im living through the oncler age for the first time #fionna and cake #simon petrikov #princess bubblegum #winter king #candy queen #a chapstick original

*blows a multidimensional kiss* For Scarab (Patreon)

#Doodles #Fionna and Cake #Prismo #Scarab #More things I cannot believe but this time me edition: I didn't even?? consider?? shipping these two until I saw other people doing so?? #The heck they have such fun cat and mouse dynamics and Scarab is so cute #I dunno I guess I just thought he was standalone hot lol - which he is! But I've always been more for relationships huh #Well no time like the present! #I love how not subtle the everything FnC is about how they knew Exactly what they were doing when they designed Scarab lol #But he's also got that goofy nerdy-looking alt form when his face opens up! He's got a little bit of something for everyone lol #For me it's the shoulder-chest-waist measurements but his tongue is good and gross too lol #As for Prismo he finally gets some company! Hopefully it'll keep him more accountable and Scarab will get to goof off a bit #I think it's a good arrangement for both of them honestly I hope they're very happy together haha #Even if it's just in a silly friend/coworker flirting kind of way I think it'd be good for them to be silly together :)

2023 in review! I made an effort to try more things and it worked mostly (at least for TV and movies). New things, new-to-me things, and new installments of old things all had characters to love even if I didn't necessarily feel fannish about them, and I'm hoping 2024 does, too.

#but yeah no I had a lot of fun with some of these #mp100 is now fully going down as one of my favorite works of art ever. i mean it. i'd stick it on a shelf with discworld. #trying Nida Manzoor's work was SO GOOD like if edgar wright knew how to make girls lovable I meant to only try one episode of WALP #and then I marathonned it all in one night right into the sunrise and I do not regret it #(look I love edgar wright but) #i had my issues with GO2 and Fionna & Cake and HxH (which I finally tried yes I am late) but still they had babies in them #one piece and the last of us did like major progress for proving those mediums *could* be adapted and not suck so seriously kudos #I didn't go into Barbie expecting it to Solve Capitalism and The Patriarchy so I appreciate what it did do #Nimona was just gorgeous #Across the spider-verse is so good it's hard to say anything about it #Peacemaker is obnoxiously good and Chris's breakdown near the end really got me #Bottoms & Marry My Dead Body & Ying-Yang Master: Dream of Eternity are just fun okay don't think about it #the strange planet show was sweet and peaceful to watch #and even with a 40% budget cut OFMD has my heart and ed is The babygirl of all time for me #thanks for reading these tags if you did and I hope you have a good new year #art i'm proud of

i can't believe there are people who hate pudding- god forbid women do anything and have complexity and trauma, huh?

#like did you not watch the same thing as me #'she almost killed sanj-' well a lot of characters we love started as villains ???? your point ???' #i don't think you can understand pudding in a fundamental level if you don't have mommy issues bc istg #GIRL WAS MANIPULATED HER WHOLE LIFE EXCUSE ME????? #wci did not say 'fuck abusive parents' for some of you to hate my babygirl #also sanji has done questionable things during this arc too like they're literally parallelisms IT'S NOT HARD TO UNDERSTAND #'she erased the memory of the kiss that's selfish-' do you even understand media literacy #one piece #charlotte pudding #whole cake island

Do Gabriel and v1 fish together?

they do!! i think this is one of the first truly calm hobbies that gabriel sees v1 engage in, and he's honestly surprised at first that the machine has the amount of patience that it does. v1 is constantly moving, it seems to have endless reserves of pent-up energy it can never rid itself of, yet when they go fishing...it's quiet, it will wait indefinitely without a single bite (to the point where half the time gabe is the one suggesting they try another spot), and it seems to simply enjoy the process without worrying too much about the reward. however, it's obvious it's putting its massive brainpower to use breaking fishing down into a science and it typically has at least a decent haul from a day's work (especially with gabriel, as sometimes it can be stubborn fishing in a bad spot that its algorithm predicted would do well lol) v1 is especially happy when this turns into practical work it can do on a regular basis, as gabriel can grow hungry after his fall and needs to eat occasionally to keep his strength up. it's a good break in their world, being able to wake up early and spend an entire day in near total silence just catching fish together (though it IS always a competition to see who gets the most) by sunset, gabriel decides how they'll make dinner, sometimes working together on a full spread and sometimes just throwing them on the fire to enjoy nightfall outside together :]

#i thought about doodling for this but!!! #i want to do a full piece based on the idea at some point #fisherman v1 means so much to me....love that little guy #it's a good reset for both of them though #though gabriel will NOT eat some of the more...odd catches #cake answers #v1 #gabriel

My ideal Petrigrof endgame would be kind of like the Bubbline route taken in Obsidian: together again, just working through their shit together with to to grow

yeah tbh i did wish they were given room to work things out in their relationship in a relatively normal, non-catastrophic way. i mean, they obviously had their issues, mainly due to miscommunication, but i still stand by the fact that what truly ruined their lives were situations that were outside their control (simon getting cursed and the apocalypse happening). for all that they were/are obsessed with each other or whatever, we can't really ignore the fact that 'letting go' of one another means, on their case, moving on with their lives while knowing that their partner is suffering under a magical curse, like, right now, at this exact moment. i'd say it's a bit hard to just shrug that off, so it's no wonder that they were never able to 'get over' each other

#ask #fionna and cake #at #petrigrof #like we can't ignore the setting when we're discussing their relationship tbh and the setting completely fucked them over #simon's curse is entirely due to bad circumstances while betty had some agency on her downfall #still though betty's actions were more reactions to a bad situation than anything else #like i'm sorry but if the love of my life told me that he wanted to die instead of staying cursed forever #and the only reason they stayed alive and cursed was because i made him do it and promised i'd save him #and then everyone kept saying i should just give up and accept him the way he is now because that's better and healthier #well. i would've turned into the joker too

I understand the people who DC in DBD when they find out the killer is the Clown, now. That's going to be me with the horrible fucking thing that's joined the franchise now.

#I have no issues with the STORY of chucky. I actually like it #my Major Squick just happens to be realistic inanimate object being given hyper realistic human features and or going on a murderous rampag #like stuff like DHMIS? LOVE IT IN CONCEPT. FUCKING INCREDIBLE. but then they do shit like cut open a cake and it's guts #or the irl puppets are now realistically bloody and gorey #I cannot #idk why! But I cannot see it. I can't look at it. Makes me nauseated! #it's like wet bread for some people #that's looking and interacting with shit like chucky is for me #now if it was cartoony and in like a comic book #or more goofy looking #THEN I COULD HANDLE IT #it's just it looking REAL. Like I COULD ENCOUNTER IT #that I have problems

[frozenhi-chews]

Me, a few months ago: Hmm...yeah. I actually think that I like Five Nights at Freddy's more than Undertale. It's just, a lot more fun and I've known it longer and-

Undertale Yellow:

Me: ....crud-

#have i posted this before? #idk its going up anyway #but yeah! i love fnaf don't get me wrong #but its somehow Undertale. its always somehow Undertale. or Deltarune. or at this point Undertale Yellow #idk what it is with this franchise that keeps its rooted place #like i might have to do some soul searching to see if i like UTDR more than Portal. which would say a LOT #the fnaf movie is what made me say that tho. it had just come out and i was in a BIIIIG fnaf mood #then it faded and i kinda floated between interests and then BAM #HALLOOOOOO FARMER- #yeah im blaming Stars #suddenly im back in an Undertale rut again and its making me Realize Things #goah dangit i love UTDR #the cake doth speak

haven’t had such a nice day in so long

#visited my childhood friend of 20 years in the city she had moved to #she picked me up from the train #then treated me to a delicious lunch and cake #we watched the start of the new gntm season #then she made my nails and omg I’m in LOVE #I’ve never seen her be this focused on something before agdhgj she did such a good job #we also had wine while doing that and listened to fun music #after we went to a cute immersive light show exhibition thingy #and then she borrowed me some of her clothes bc she had convinced me to go out #and my god was she cute and supportive and sweet about it #and I really really needed all that #she’s that friend that always gets hit on when we’re out if you remember That story of me being miserable #WELL the queue in front of the club was too damn long so we just went home again so that was great for me ahdjgj #all in all such a lovely day I adore her lots she made me feel so loved today
