Rewatching Adventure Time, I can't help but think so much Princess Bubblegum discourse would be non-existent if people actually watched the show to completion instead of randomly hyperfocusing on some of PB's bad deeds.
There's a very bizarre and commonly held belief that Princess Bubblegum did terrible things and got away with it, that nobody held her accountable. When the show makes a point, repeatedly, that Princess Bubblegum is well meaning but deeply flawed, and to some characters, straight up evil.
I see fans point to "The Cooler" a lot as proof that PB is an irredeemable character, and while it is her worst act in the entire show.... I think people forgot that that was the point. Near the end of the episode she stops spying on people in Ooo because it was an invasion of privacy. In another episode she's called out for exploiting some aliens and lets them go. She feels ashamed that her own people are terrified of her. She loses her entire kingdom, and realizes she needs to get her shit together.
I'm pretty critical of shows that are way too lenient on flawed female characters but Princess Bubblegum isn't one of them. She's awesome, and heavily misunderstood.
people claiming every black man protagonist is boring & that's why they don't care about him, and then they try to cover themselves claiming "well it's the writers fault they made him boring they're the real racists" maybe all of you are racist did you ever think of that 😑

When the time is right, and my power is assured, I will slaughter Gortash upon your altar, where I myself hope to die when the world itself is gasping it’s last.

Father, you made me to be the last soul alive.
there's just something about mutually assured destruction, you know?
I opened a new procreate canvas to do a silly cute meme redraw and that is not what this is! oops!
Finn Wolfhard being #1 M*leven anti for the 9483716 time he’s so me
Listen to this man’s voice he sounds so bored when he mentions the letter and as soon as the girl’s like oh you mean the fake letter? where she’s pretending? he’s instantly going “yeah yeah yeah exactly yes yes yeah” verbatim and starts making fun of Mike’s disconnect with El 😭 I just know he was thinking thank god there are people who get the letters weren’t a cute romantic thing and he doesn’t have to go along with any fawning
