Knowing that Simon is aware that Marceline and Bubblegum are deeply in love/sort of saved each other and that manifesting in Simon's head through Gary/Marshall is so precious. Like. Simon subconsciously romanced his daughter figure and her girlfriend in the gender swapped au stored in his mind, that is how much he knows it means to Marceline and how much he cares about her. All he wanted was for someone to save her.

its really funny to me that almost every appearance of betty pre-floaties and post-elements has her in a different outfit nd meanwhile simon has been portrayed almost exclusively with variations on the same damn suit forever and ever. he has a pet name for his jacket. your honor that woman has same outfit autism

cant even begin to describe how much The Good Place's thesis on how to be a good person changed how i view redemption arcs
like it's not about "is this character good enough to deserve redemption or are they too bad to get redeemed" it's about "is this character willing to accept that their behavior is harmful, to make amends for their past behavior if at all possible, and to try and become a better person?"
sometimes for the Drama it's satisfying or cathartic to see a character who's done shitty things get to have a big Sacrifice Moment where they save the day and gets to be remembered as a hero, but that's not actually a good redemption arc. being a good person is not a single task that you can check off once you've finished all the steps, and neither is redemption in fiction. there's never really a threshold of "this character is Good Now!" there's the character learning how to be better and trying earnestly to be better even when they're not immediately rewarded for it
that's why zuko's redemption arc (everyone's favorite, the Gold Standard of redemption arcs) works so well. learning that his worldview was wrong was an incredibly difficult journey for him, and even when he knew he had several missteps along the way. but making mistakes didn't prevent him from being redeemed! and it's not like all the characters unanimously agreed that zuko was good now. the choices zuko made that lead to his redemption all made his life harder, but he knew they were the right choices and he made them anyway
and it's why that one wizard teacher's "redemption arc" (if you can even call a sudden infodump of flashbacks an arc) in that one children's series fell flat: at no point was Alan Rickman's character trying to be better. at no point did he realize or care that his behavior was harmful. we learn at the very end that he was working against the main villain the whole time, but that doesn't explain or excuse how much of a prick to children he was or his made-up fantasy racism or anything.

IT GIRL - simon "ghost" riley x reader blurb.
genre: fluff
words: ?????
desc: where simon comes home wearing his balaclava to find you wearing his actual mask for funsies.
a/n: this is totally inspired by my post about turning ghost into a bimbo.
he usually kept his actual skull mask in his vehicle, but for some reason he wore it inside and ended up leaving it home. you kept trying to remember to text him about it, but instead, you just got into some all pink outfit that you had specifically bought for going to see the Barbie movie when it first hit theaters.
you stood in front of the full body mirror, his mask in your grip. you felt like you would get killed in an instant for putting it on if he were around, but you wont, he doesn't get out until MUCH later, depending on how much paper work from past missions from his most recent deployment he had to finish.
you slid it on with ease - trying to ignore the sensory hell of the skull plate pressing against your nose. - and just started giggling. you grabbed your phone and took a few photos of you in the costume, making sure to keep the photos under lock & key just in case he did come home early.
you went wide eyed when you heard the door open and close. you still had his mask on, and the all pink outfit. you basically froze where you heard the thud of his boots coming down the hallway.
you turned your head to look at him, and you two were just staring at each other before he let out an exhausted sigh.
"i really didn't expect to come home to this, of all things." he muttered, pinching the bridge of his nose and closing his eyes. this prompted you to very slowly take off his mask and walk over to him, handing it to him.
"sorry." you muttered, blush dusting your cheeks. he let out a soft sigh, carefully taking the mask from you before taking his balaclava and handing it to you.
"we can get you a balaclava if you wanna do that...just...not the actual mask, lovie." he stated, kissing your head.

all the really odd women and trans mascs on here seem to have access to an alternate version of fionna and cake where every episode is about simon petrikov rolling and smoking a joint

We as a fandom have established already that Winter King is all that Simon wanted to be when his curse was at its peak in a way (although very fake but I digress)
And I WANT YOU TO TAKE A CLOSER LOOK
I THINK IT'S JUST SO FUNNY THAT HE MADE HIMSELF THAT MUCH TALLER
AND NO IT'S NOT ABOUT HIS HEELS
