#the evergreen show

[inbarfink]

When talking about the distinction between Simon Petrikov and the Ice King,  it’s important to remember that originally, the Crown wasn’t trying to turn Simon into Ice King -

It was trying to turn him into this guy.

At the time, the Ice Crown - or rather the Wishing Crown - was programmed with Gunther’s wish to become Evergreen. So everything related to making the current wearer like Evergreen is a very direct result of the Crown’s Magic. The physical changes -

And the obsession with the name ‘Gunther’ -

And maybe some of the irritability and anger issues -

That is something the Crown is very directly forcing unto its current wielder. 

But everything else?

Ice King, personality-wise, was not much like Evergreen at all, or even like Gunther's view of him. And Ice Finn of the Farmworld Universe was also pretty different from the both of them.

At the time, I remember people assumed Ice Finn’s behavior is more indicative of what the Crown is actually trying to do with its wielders. That Ice King is so different because of Simon’s subconscious resistance against the Crown - while Finn’s much younger and dumber brain is a lot susceptible to the Curse’s influence to become some sort of mad world-conquering emperor of ice and snow. 

But, with the context of the Crown’s actual backstory. That doesn’t seem very likely anymore. I think what’s actually happening there is that the Crown is just trying to make its wielder an Ice Wizard on par with Evergreen (who was the Actual Goddam Ice Elemental) and that means pumping the wielder’s brain so full of Magic, Madness and Sadness to a level that is bound to overwhelm anyone.

And Simon’s and Farmworld Finn’s very different behaviors after putting on the crown is indicative, more than anything, of how their psyche reacts to Madness and Sadness in general. You know, Finn has a very proactive and kinda aggressive personality - and you add Crown-induced-Madness-and-Sadness and a compulsion to use Ice Magic as much as possible and you get all of…. this 

Meanwhile, for Simon, the compulsions of the Crown originally filtered exclusively via the language of protection 

As his madness always manifested as romantic obsession 

And using goofy humor to try and deny the pain he’s going through 

Because that’s how Simon’s mind specifically reacts to being flooded with so much Madness and Sadness.

That’s why there’s so many parallels between Ice King and the sort of mistakes and screwed-up stuff Simon does right now! He’s even kidnapping people again!

Because the Madness and Sadness of Ice King might’ve been induced by the Crown, but now Simon has plenty of personal home-grown Madness and Sadness inside him - and it’s no surprise that Curse-Induced or not, his mind reacts to it in a sorta-similar way. (Although obviously not as intensely, again, there was a LOT of MMS in the Ice Crown).

Now as for Ice Thing, and the fact that he seems to be actually rather well-adjusted under effects of his version of the Wishing Crown. I mean... not by the time of the 1000+ Era, but that’s literally eons in the future and also maybe more Gibbon’s fault. Even if the Crown will eventually take some sort of toll on him, for now he seems to be doing pretty well considering his wish. I mean, there's still some sort of Loss of Identity stuff going on

But everything we've seen of Ice Thing (in the present day, at least) shows him as a friendly and cheerful individual that gets along well with others. A far cry from how maladjusted every single wielder of the Ice Crown acted.

At the very least, if there's any notable amount of Sadness in him, we really haven't seen it yet.

There might be several factors here:

First things first, I should acknowledge the possibility that it’s just that Orgalorg’s eldritch brain is better at intaking all that MMS juice. That could play a part, but I think it’s probably more important, at least thematically, to look at the distinction between ‘I wish to be Evergreen’ and ‘I wish to be Ice King’. 

First in the sense that while Ice King was occasionally mean to Gunter at times - he was generally much kinder than Evergreen ever was for ‘his’ Gunther. So, like, pretty much the one Personality Flaw of Ice King that you can directly link to the Ice Crown’s attempt to mimic Evergreen is the occasional anger issues.

And how they relate to Gunther’s view of Evergreen, so grumpy and controlling and constantly saying ‘NO!’

(Both Finn and Simon’s demonstrable not-crown-induced trauma responses can make them pretty short-tempered as well. So I’m not going to say this is purely the effects of the Crown. It still probably plays some sort of factor at why the wielder of the Ice Crown is Like That).

And that is not a factor in how Gunter views Ice King. For him, Ice King was a doting and loving father figure - so if the Crown was ever trying to implement any sort of specific negative personality traits, this is absolutely no longer a factor. Because the original Ice Crown was a reflection of Evergreen’s abuse, and now Ice Thing is a reflection of Ice King’s fatherly love.

Which is, itself, probably an echo or remnant of Simon’s own strong parental instincts. 

Secondly, while the Crown was trying to make the Ice King just as powerful as Evergreen…. Ice King was obviously not as powerful as Evergreen. Because he was already a second-rate copy of the Ice Elemental’s power, and because Ice King was often just too doofy to use his powers correctly and probably because some remnant of Simon’s original sensible self is subconsciously holding his powers back.

Either way, being ‘like Ice King’ as Gunter sees him requires less Magic than being ‘like Evergreen’ as Gunther saw him - and therefore less Madness and Sadness. Leading to the wearer or, um, the eater being a lot more well-adjusted from the get-go.

And I think that the implication that Ice Thing has fused with the Crown, so there's never going to be another poor sap who puts on the Crown and gets Ice King'd. But if there is one somehow... at least the process is going to be less mentally detrimental that time around?

Maybe one day Simon could look back and appreciate how much he (or Ice King, or both of them, or however you want to look at the situation) is responsible for basically neutralizing the Crown that ruined his life in the first place.

shebbz i just want to say that you are single-handedly convincing me to watch mash... i know nothing about the show but ur chipping away at my brain like a misfolded protein

just make sure you watch it without laugh tracks

#it premiered in 1972 so don't expect 21st century moral sensibilities but it really was groundbreakingly counterculture #the hayes code ended 1968 and the vietnam war was on tv every night and to be adamantly anti-war was HERESY #which unfortunately makes a lot of parts of it sadly evergreen bc it feels like there will always be a war on tv you can't protest #whether or not every last facet of it still holds up it's very important to appreciate what worked and the effects it had #that goes with all ''old'' shows/movies/books as i'm sure i've said a million times while frothing about star trek or 20k leagues etc #shebbz shoutz #mash #shebbz editz #ask #we got another one lads

I finally watched obi-wan kenobi (2022) and I just keep thinking about... I keep thinking about obi-wan constantly talking to qui-gon, asking for him in the dark, begging for some sort of comfort from him, even if he never gets an answer. and vader/anakin still calling after obi-wan as he walks away from him again, twisted in hatred and obsession but still so -- desperate for him to hear it.

some part of you never does stop trying to call out for a parent even when all hope is lost, huh.

#it was a bit messy the luke part of the storyline was a bad call but other than that? got to see obi-wan look devastated for six hours. #hit the spot perfectly lol #star wars #obi wan kenobi #obi wan kenobi 2022 #anakin skywalker #I really liked a lot of the side characters too. and quinlan confirmed to have survived! I keep winning #I realize that qui-gon's force ghost appearance is meant to be because obi-wan is ready to let himself see him #rather than qui-gon actively choosing not to answer him until he decided he was good and ready #but truly it would be one of the cruellest and most in-character moves in the whole franchise if he did lmao #qui-gon showing up like 'I always knew you could do it' *after* obi-wan has had to struggle through and do it on his own is evergreen

you know what i'm still thinking about, is between nagumo spending more time with kasuga, and nomoto having a watch party with a stranger, this show had AMPLE opportunity to give us some ugly jealousy and miscommunication

and it simply did not

#tsukuritai onna to tabetai onna #maybe i'm stating the obvious here but i can't stop thinking about how much i appreciate this #the jealousy thing is an evergreen romance trope and it would have slotted in here perfectly you know? #i've never read the manga so idk what's changed if anything but this show just feels so character focused in the loveliest way #i mean obvs i get why romance shows focus on cooking up (lol) Big Moments so people tweet about it so they get more viewers and then money #and i'm not mad about that or anything like it is what it is #i just love it when characters get to. idk. breathe? the way this show lets them

Series: Some Things Are Evergreen

Ship: Leo Bardonaro & BJ Hunnicutt, Leo Bardonaro/BJ Hunnicutt (past)

Note: This fic comes chronologically before "Midnight Trepidations" but is meant to be read after its midway point (chapter 4). Consider it #3.5 in the Some Things Are Evergreen series. My hope is to write a handful of these little side stories that give us peeks into referenced events and hints about the future, fics that can make the world feel more lush and full but are not necessarily required reading to understand the series. I hope you enjoy!

It doesn't feel right either, for that matter, holding back his true thoughts from the page. Leo's always prided himself on not flinching away from speaking his mind—the good, the bad, the ugly—and Beej slotted perfectly into that rhythm in a way that no one else had. For two years that lasted as long as a century, there wasn't a single secret between them. How could there be? They were the only ones who could sink each other's entire lives before they ever really began. That kind of shit practically requires a blood oath. But if he thinks about it for a few seconds, he can recall the exact moment when he realized BJ was, in fact, hiding something, that their open-door policy had a very small message scratched into the doorframe where he'd never bothered to look.

Six years ago, Leo said his last goodbyes to the newly-wedded Hunnicutts, boarded a plane, and returned to his life in Philly permanently. He's maintained his silence through medical school, residency, pregnancy announcements, and his conscripted assignment to MASH 8225. But rumors revolving around the 4077th's most recent bug out—and a surgeon who was forced to stay behind—waver Leo's confidence that pushing BJ away to keep him safe was the right move, wrapped up in the fear that instead he might've died alone.

#this was a lot of fun to write and also i am very nervous about posting it but this is not surprising to anyone who knows me #like it or not leo i am making you a fully fledged guy even before you show up in the series proper #leo bardonaro #bj hunnicutt #bardicutt #notes of an old mistake #some things are evergreen #my writing
