#ice thing

Remember the winter king episode? Of course y'all do, there is a thing about it, Fionna and cake are FREEZING when they get there, they are shaking and trying to get some warmth, meanwhile Simon is walking on ice BAREFOOT

If you check the episode he is the only one not affected by the cold, which is kinda obvious, he was in the cold for a thousand years, he was ice king, whatever. Why am I mentioning it?

Because of this latest episode, where Simon visits the ice kingdom, where the ice thing is

A demon child I raised in the post apocalypse that is now a vampire

An adult human man who I used to harass when I was senile but took pity on me once I got better

The same adult human but a woman and from another dimension that exists in my brain but is nevertheless 100% real

Visiting the Ice Thingdom is obviously always gonna tag at Simon's trauma.

And Ice Thing has got to be Complicated for him because he's both the person who loved Ice King the most and an incarnation of specifically the parts of Ice King people miss now that Simon is back. Basically just this cheerful happy-go-lucky silly Ice Wizard without the misery Simon was living through and the harm he was causing. And also Ice Thing does still sees Simon as Ice King on some level, since he's his 'daddy'.

So with all of that considered, and the fact that Simon is here to just Sacrifice Himself to Cursed Magic to Save a Loved One in a slightly different way than before...

The fact that he did find it within himself to smile is still very sweet, I think.

I love adventure time I loved how this scene seems funny at first but it so fascinating

Like Ice Thing called Simon “daddy” he sees him as his father but ice thing wished to be ice king not Simon

And Simon listened and stared at the thing that ruined his relationships it’s obvious Simon likes being a dad. It quite obvious it was probably one of the next steps after Simon and Betty’s marriage but Simon had put on that crown and the mushroom war nuke had dropped.

Then surviving in the wasteland Simon found Marceline. She gave him that chance to be a father and he was good at it obviously or Marcy wouldn’t deal with him at all like she does with Hunson. Simon cared for Marcy for about 3-4 years till again he had to leave because of the crown.
