so I was rewatching Skyhooks last night, and I wanna talk about Ice King's bespoke suit.
First of all, he only gets one at the behest of Life Giving Magus. When asked, Ice King tells Magus on the phone that he's planning on wearing his blue muumuu on the date, and Magus insists that he needs a suit that will highlight his best attributes.
He does wear the suit on the date, and Betty seems almost hopeful, but Ice King looks very out of place, though he has quite literally stuffed himself into this suit (his beard is stuffed beneath the suit jacket)
During the date, Ice King is very confused, even to the point that he gets scared when Betty lashes out at him (in his thoughts, he says something like "she's freakin' me out").
And then at home, he tries to hide how disappointed he is that the date ended poorly by trying to downplay it when talking to Gunter.
And then Betty returns to try and meet him where he's at! And Ice King is so fucking happy
and then he's confused and saddened when Betty disappears. When Patience Saint Prim tells him that Betty's mom showed up and took her away, he says, "...Her mom?" and makes this face.
Then, we have this look. Ice King, but with Simon's glasses and a hidden crown. He even calls this a disguise—he knows that this is not representative of who he is.
Once Betty arrives, Ice King loses the suit jacket and lets his beard out.
Then, we have these shots where he's unshrunken the crown and (for some reason?) tucked his beard into his shirt.
and at the end of it all, when Betty betrays everyone and leaves Ice King alone again, we find out that the muumuu has been under his clothes this entire time.
this is a silly visual gag, yes, but I also think it's a really good representation of what exactly all of Skyhooks was for Ice King and Betty. Betty held out hope for Simon, and Ice King has been wearing that suit as a costume. He was hiding behind it. And now that's gone, and he is all that's left.

Lemonpink is...
...quite honestly the creepiest version of Lemongrab.
He was on screen for such a short amount of time, but every moment that focused on him was skin-crawlingly uncomfortable in a way few other, if any, LG moments reached.
You know it's not the real LG, but can also just tell when watching him (well, I get this sense anyway) that the "real" LG is just beneath the now rosy, sugary-sweet surface of his acidic body, howling and desperately itching and scratching to get out. He's sour not sweet, damn it!
I once saw a fanart where the "before" of the AT episode Skyhooks was portrayed and LG was covered in gum in it asking his mother something like "Whyyy mother?!" as an "elementized" Princess Bubblegum began to penetrate his usual lemon essence, I believe saying "Don't worry son, I'll fix you". In show she also alters it and eventually takes full control of it and him.
Can you imagine what that must have been like for LG when PB did that? His (as far as he could tell) fully sane, goddess of a mother literally deciding to change everything about him, down to his DNA. Must have been a horrific, emotionally devastating, painful body horror experience, I would imagine. (Especially considering how he's literally the opposite of sweet.) It was likely also yet another reminder that he was nothing more than an "experiment gone wrong" in the eyes of his creator. 🙁
Update: Here's the mentioned artwork below!
It's by TheFreakyPanda on DeviantArt and the short description they typed gives a little more context.
