'someone draw bdg as winter king' i say as i do so myself

[skipppppy]

So. About that new episode huh

[featherlouise]

It was like a vision from an angry god

Okay wtf the fact that the Winter King looks literally like BDG and he just so happens to be the voice for him is so uncanny I can't comprehend it.

The hair. The sass. The theatre. The singing. The insanity behind his sophisticated eyes. The Winter King is literally just BDG but he's blue.

I've seen a couple of posts making jokes about the Casting of the Winter King. You know, stuff to the effect of "I can't believe that if you mix Tom Kenny and Tom Kenny you get Brian David Gilbert" or "Brian David Gilbert is exactly at the midpoint between two flavors of Tom Kenny". And all of these posts are very funny, and I do like them a lot. This post is not meant to start an argument or criticize or complain about them as much as me adding my opinions and thoughts inspired by the thoughts these posts evoked in me.

Because, the thing is... I actually don't think describing the Winter King as 'the middle' of Simon Petrikov and Ice King is a fully accurate way to put it. This is certainly what his design evoke, I think that is how obviously how he presents himself but... after what he did I think he is actually even farther away from Simon Petrikov than Ice King ever was.

That's kinda why the Winter King has a different voice, I think? On a meta level. It's a subtle little reminder that this guy and this guy

Still have, on some level, more in common with each other than either do with this guy

And from an in-universe perspective, I think with the way he switches back to Tom Kenny just as his magic fades away and he's about to die...I think the implication is that the Winter King has been using magic to make his appearance more idealized and attractive. Most obviously in terms of height.

And he probably also did a similar thing with his voice.

Therefore, the main conclusion we must draw from this is that Brian David Gilbert is the most attractive man Simon Petrikov can think of.

just watched the new fionna and cake episode and I want it On Record I predicted Brian David Gilbert becoming a tumblr sexyman back in 2021

you don't understand the fucking scream I let out when I recognised his voice

[baconmoop]

Wow I love Simon petrikov

(They literally couldn’t have cast a better option tbf it’s uncanny)

ok but the winter king isn’t a tumblr sexyman because he’s a twink in a suit. he’s a sexyman because he’s voiced by brian david gilbert.

The fact that they didn't need to go THIS HARD on this musical sequence and they chose to anyway is just fantastic. Gave me that nostalgia of when the Food Chain episode in Adventure Time aired from just the animation style alone.
