Do you ever think about how when BMO plays pretend, they favor nomadic/loner roles like a cowboy, a hard-boiled detective, a traveling salesperson, etc., which is pretty in line with their directive from Mo. But when they really are on their own (eg in BMO Lost) they immediately, desperately establish a family from their surroundings.
And how one of those universal struggles of people, especially in the context of growing up (including but not limited to childhood) is dependence vs. independence. Wanting a hand to hold and wanting to be able to drop it at will. And how some people need to hold that hand less often than others, and how some people really don’t want to even when they really need to.
Finn and Jake get frustrated with each other and try to solve a dungeon separately, only to be met at every turn with a challenge that they can’t face without the other. Marceline travels for a thousand years and settles down here and there and picks back up because the people around her aren’t constant so she doesn’t want to be either. PB and IK each create an entire kingdom because they’re lonely, and neither of them feel whole because, just like the quarters of Ooo in Elements, living in those kingdoms is too much like living inside their own heads.
Every episode of Distant Lands is about characters who both resent and long for the versions of themselves they used to be— the versions who needed other people, the versions who could still insist they didn’t — and have to reconcile with the fact that they never really stopped being those people, but also that they can never really be those people again.
Every major character in the series is building connections and love and safety using whatever tools they have, and distancing themselves with equal effort. So they’re all kind of just alternating between playing cowboy and playing house, figuring out how to balance both and where they fit in between.

I think I get what you mean. Some kinds of sounds make me anxious now.
That art is cool! Did you already have that art lying around? Or how long did it take you to sketch that?
Indeed indeed
Oh nah i drew that lickity split, it’s like an average of 5-10 minutes for something if I’m not distracted by my dash. I was known as a fast illustrator back in college and that’s just what it be.

ok. i just think using time travel/selfcest as a vehicle for forced character introspection is pretty entertaining. Especially if they have the horrific realization get that they either
a) became so much worse or
b) became/were happy
and either way it breeds some kind of resentment. And even better if they were pining for someone and obvs wanna know from Their Other how that person kisses (my favorite trope of all time). And Their Other either knows, or Doesn’t Know and they can’t figure out which is more upsetting. 
Anyway.

Content warning: talks briefly of sexual assault, ptsd, birthdays, and just raine rambling
Hey friends! I know I haven’t written much lately but life got busy (I moved out, am attending college, etc etc) but I just wanted to take a moment to talk about today. September 21st is my birthday, and for the longest time I hated celebrating it.
I don’t remember many birthdays, my fiftieth birthday I spent reeling from the trauma of getting sexually assaulted by my partner at the time, and having my feelings disregarded afterwards. I had come home and ate pancakes for dinner with my sister and her boyfriend fighting off a panic attack, I still can’t eat captain crunch pancakes three years later.
My sixteenth birthday I didn’t want to celebrate, I didn’t see much reason to. I was getting harassed and threatened by the local moms for liberty branch for a video of me on a pride float giving my partner at the time a kiss on the cheek. I spent my birthday anxiously watching a school board meeting trying to stomach the cake my parents got me, watching people come to defend a stranger while dealing with my ptsd. My friends eased my anxieties, my friend got breakfast from a gas station on our way to school, other friends bought me small presents and told me I’d be okay. My birthday suddenly felt a little easier to celebrate.
My seventeenth birthday I spent chatting with a guy who was older than me, having fallen into a toxic friend group online and struggling with ptsd. I had dreaded the day for the whole month, but my friends made the day easier. They got me gifts, and I couldn’t go into my classes without my teachers greeting me with a happy birthday and a small gift. I had thought no one would remember, but they did and made an effort to make a day I hated easier on me. I was helping to build a float with the dungeons and dragons club for home coming and when I got to float building the day after I was showered with belated happy birthdays and laughter as we put the finishing touches on the float.
And now, my eighteenth birthday. I’ve been living on my own for about a month now, yesterday I was depressed and tired from working myself too much trying to make rent and dreading my classes. But on my walk back to the apartment I stopped to get myself dinner and the smile of the kind man behind the counter as he took my order and gave me a student discount seemed to snap me out of it (along with the delicious pad thai I got). I was able to call and talk with my girlfriend and rant about my job, and at around 10 I was able to open my birthday gifts a little early (it was a blåhaj, incense sticks, a new holder, and a little book called “pet this f*cking puppy”) and talked with my roommates (two of my longtime best friends) about our days, laughing nearly to the point of tears before going to work on my homework. This morning I got myself Starbucks and when I checked my social media was flooded with happy birthday messages from friends and family. I’m going to go back home to have dinner with my parents and see my girlfriend.
What I’m trying to say is, it does get easier. It doesn’t seem much like it but year by year, it does get easier. Your birthday is something worth celebrating, maybe not to you but to those around you it’s worth it. I promise you, there’s someone who looks forward to your birthday every year it rolls around.

OK, listen up.
I am personally not a proshipper.
I am not an anti.
I am neutral.
here are my opinions that no one asked for
About Proshipping:
Only reason I think it's bad is because if it were real, it would most likely be illegal. But you can ship WHATEVER you want because those are YOUR CHOICES and it's YOUR LIFE
About Antis:
They are just like EW WTF IS THIS SHEEEEIT FUK U but like, I lowkey understand why.
There are some people who have triggers. And proshipping can set off some of those triggers.
So...
Proshippers, please put warnings if the ship could be problematic.
Antis, please stop sending proshippers death threats and hate or whatever you do.

Bonnie was not assigned a gender at birth but her concept of gender is so heavily based on her perception of human society and the narratives she creates around its ruins like. She is a woman by her own definition, informed by her interpretations of old human stuff, because who else could have defined “woman” for her???? Being a woman, to her, means being powerful and creative and taking care of your loved ones. Not to mention, there’s no way that little tadpole nub just grew into a human shape!!!!! She made herself look like her perception of a human woman/girl On Purpose!!!!! Gender is a puzzle and a series of observations, just like everything else about people and relationships and society. So like. Yeah when she first encountered the expectation that women/girls should have boyfriends, she trashed those magazines for her rat to shit on like any ambitious tween lesbian piece of gum would!!! But then someone she created herself reinforced that expectation, and then so did so many other people, and maybe she thought she had no choice or maybe she felt guilty or maybe she was just tired.
But again. We are all just fucking playing with little dolls in the game of life or whatever. Some more than others (……………… yeah Bonnie lol) BUT LISTEN gender is obviously a construct that we understand first and foremost through observation BUT our (or at least 20th century/PW’s generation’s) human perception of gender and the characters’ observations and interpretations do it are so goddamn important to every single character in this show. They are all performing a role and a big part of that role is gender. Once again BMO is the most flexible about this performance because BMO is the most childlike (emotionally/mentally youngest in this case bc obvs many children develop awareness and self consciousness around gender roles very very young) and therefore the least bothered by society’s expectations!!! Just like in real life!!!!
To start out, all Bonnie knows of femininity and womanhood is that mothers are women, and princesses are girls, and mothers and princesses are powerful and caring. And then she finds out that girls and women are supposed to have boyfriends, and that seems really wrong to her, but she has to be a girl/woman because she is a mother and a princess to the extent that she understands those roles!! Meaning not 100% in line with the human definition (mothers don’t raise their children the mammal way, princesses are inherently the highest rulers of their kingdoms) but rather based on her perception of it. Which like GET THIS!!!!! Our perceptions of human definitions of gender and societal roles ARE the definitions of those things!!!!!!!!! I wanna scream abt it it’s so fuckign interesting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyway tangent but in conclusion Princess Bonnibel Bubblegum is the most transgender character ever to NOT actually have any gender assigned at birth to be transing (unless the MG whispered it to her ig) and that’s just how cool she is!!

OMG NO WAY, the green one was my favorite too! My brother liked the white one (dragoon I think?)
I can't deceive you:( I don't use a fidget ring, just regular ones. I do still fidget them though
My sister liked Dragoon too, and the Pheonix one (red) , we use to battle it out all the time like that, now I can't stand the clank n clatter of the plastic arena and the metal disks.
lol! Its okay!! I have an assortment of rings
Tumblr media
