i think princess bubblegum is (and has pretty much always been) neutral good and marceline went lawful good (before being turned) -> chaotic neutral (obsidian flashback era until the early seasons) -> true neutral (early to mid seasons till stakes) -> neutral good (season 7 until the end of the show) -> almost lawful good (end of the show and fowards)

What Became of Marcy and PB?

I thoroughly enjoyed the finale, but I was left with one nagging question that is still bothering me: what became of Marcy and PB? I’m not talking about their relationship status. (The epilogue of the episode makes it pretty clear that they ended up as a happy couple.) I’m talking about 1000 years in the future.

In an interview with TVLine, executive producer Adam Muto noted, "I don’t want to lay out their entire future ... but there are enough pieces there that you can kind of construct what their life will be like going forward.” If that’s the case, then let us follow the hints and try to figure out what became of our two favorite (quasi-)immortals.

Reader be warned: this post is full of half-baked conspiracy theories and cherry-picked data points, all assembled in a way that vindicates my theory that Marceline and Bubblegum are still alive in Ooo 1000+. I make no claim that this is 100% full-proof. I just don’t want to believe that they are dead!

Let’s start with the King of Ooo: BMO. After Beth and Shermy question the robot about what happened to Marceline, Bubblegum, Finn, and Jake, BMO responds that they “kept living their lives.” This, combined with the fact that Marceline no longer lives in her house and the Candy Kingdom is in ruins, suggests that the two are dead. But while this answer might seems obvious, it leaves a lot to be desired.

First off, Marceline’s cave-house being abandoned is not indicative of anything too major. Remember, she used to live in the Tree Fort before eventually abandoning it, too. By the time that Ooo 1000+ rolled around, she could have easily moved to another locale. In fact, I would argue evidence within the episode suggests that sometime (probably awhile) after the Tree Fort was destroyed, Marceline gave her cave-house to Finn, Jake, and BMO, and then likely moved in with PB (given that at the end of Stakes, Bubblegum offers to let her move into her castle, an offer which Marceline initially declines, but implies she might one day take up). Not only would this be thematically fitting, as it was she who “gave” Finn and Jake the Tree Fort in the first place, but it would also explain how some of Finn and Jake’s belongings found a home at the house (1) and how BMO came to be in possession of a few of Marceline’s items, like her DARE shirt, sunscreen, or Simon’s broken glasses. These were items that Marceline probably didn’t care that much about (2) and consequently left behind when she moved.

Perhaps a bigger issue is that Marceline, for all intents and purposes, can’t easily die—if at all. She is immortal, and while she has her weaknesses, it’s unclear if they truly are lethal weaknesses: we’ve seen her survive being exposed to sunlight (“Henchman”, “What Was Missing”), cut in half (Stakes, “Everything Stays”), bombarded with garlic (”Henchman”), and poisoned (Stakes, “May I Come In?”). You might be asking, ‘The previous Vampire King was killed? Could not someone have staked Marceline, too?’ Unlikely. We know from Stakes that the Moon—the vampire from whom Marceline derived her healing powers—could survive being staked in the heart (remember, she was only defeated when Marceline absorbed her vampiric essence, not when she was staked). Marceline absorbed the Moon’s power, therefore it follows that Marceline can’t die from being staked. Perhaps Marceline had her vampiric essence removed by Bubblegum, and she grew old and died, just like her fever dreams in Stakes? While this is certainly a possibility (we know that Bubblegum can remove the Vampiric Essence from Marceline, given that we have seen her do it), it negates the main themes in Stakes, which focused on Marceline coming to terms with her immortality and learning to love her lot in life. If Marceline can die even in her undead state, then all the suffering unleashed upon Ooo during Stakes was for naught, and that just doesn’t seem like something Adventure Time would do.

And what of Bubblegum? We know that Bubblegum’s biological age is correlated with her candy biomass (“Mortal Recoil”, “Too Young”). This means that her “rate of mortality [is] decouple[ed] … from chronological age,” heavily suggesting that she is ‘biologically immortal’. This concept—which is a real thing, fyi—does not mean that she can’t die, just that she won’t die from old age (3). Thus, she likely lived hundreds of years into the future after the age of Finn and Jake, probably into the Graybles 1000+ world. This is implied by the state of the Prizeball Guardian: it looks rather pristine, in comparison to pretty much the entirety of Ooo, suggesting it is a somewhat new creation. Given that the guardian was almost certainly created by Bubblegum (I mean, just look at it), and the guardian is new-looking, it suggests that Bubblegum herself was alive at least recently (4). (This is also suggested by admittedly non-canon drawings that Steve Wolfhard made clearly showing his belief that Bubblegum is alive in the Ooo 1000+ world.)

Given that Bubblegum cannot die readily from old age, the only other thing that could have killed her, I argue, would be some sort of calamity. Ooo 1000+ looks pretty wrecked, and was not the Candy Kingdom destroyed? Yes, and in both “Lemonhope” and the intro to “Come Along with Me”, we catch glimpses of the ruins! But, if one peruses the storyboard of “Lemonhope II”, one will notice Tom Herpich’s purposeful note that the kingdom is “abandoned (not bombed out)” [emphasis added]. Indeed, the kingdom looks overgrown and desolate, but not like the site of a war zone (e.g. the main citadel is mostly intact, and a number of skyskrapers are unscathed, unlike others we’ve seen that we know were caught in the crossfire of war). This, coupled with the fact that the Prizeball Guardian exists suggests that, rather than having her kingdom extinguished in a war, Bubblegum loaded up her citizens into the Guardian, put them in what is effectively cryogenic sleep, and then abandoned her old realm (5). Why? We’ll come to that in a second.

But before we jump into that, let me entertain the idea that Marceline and Bubblegum are dead and living together somewhere in the afterlife, say, the 50th Dead World. While a sweet idea, it is complicated by the fact that Bubblegum is the embodiment of the candy elemental, and will almost certainly be reincarnated in the future. [I now enter into headcanon territory] Also, Marceline is the daughter of the Lord of the Nightosphere, a deathless entity. Given how much he wanted Marceline to “take over the family business” (“Daddy’s Little Monster”), do you think he’d really let her succumb to a mortal’s demise? Almost certainly, he would have had a few words with Death. While this is extrapolation beyond the text, I think it’s worth thinking about.

Now, let us jump back into the main discussion by considering BMO’s collection of Ooo memorabilia. Eagle-eyed viewers will note that BMO’s trove of junk is made up almost entirely of bits and pieces from the show’s past: including Finn and Jake’s clock, a King of Ooo figurine, Simon’s glasses, Carol’s elf drawings, Ice King’s drums, and a collection of princess crowns. While a handful of the items almost assuredly belonged to Marceline (e.g. Simon’s glasses, sunscreen the DARE shirt) and Bubblegum (e.g. one of the crowns), there is one item of immense sentimental value missing: Marceline’s ax bass. Surely, if BMO were to keep sentimental reminders of previous friends (notice, BMO has both the shattered remnants of the Finn and Jake clock, as well as Jake’s favorite cup, which has been glued back together) the robot would have kept the vampire queen’s most prized possession? Its absence suggests one of four things: a) Marceline is still alive and in possession of the bass, or Marceline was killed and the bass was b) buried somewhere (a la Finn’s robot arm or as a grave marker), c) carted off by scavengers, or d) returned to the Nightosphere. All are viable possibilities, but the fact that BMO tracked down some rather valuable items (GGGG’s groovy Martian headgear, the crowns of power, etc.), it seems strange that the robot could not have also tracked down the bass, given that BMO liked Marceline (“Ketchup”) and probably knew how much the instrument meant to her (based on their interactions in “What Was Missing” and “Ketchup”).

Given all the issues above, there is one answer that I believe solves the mystery: Marceline and Bubblegum are both alive, but have chosen to abandon the portions of Ooo that we know. Perhaps they are off exploring on their own, or perhaps they have left Earth far behind. Why would Bubblegum abandon her realm? Simple. She was ‘tired’. She expressed these exact same sentiments in “Varmints”, only after her citizens had ‘voted her out of office’. Perhaps by the time Ooo 1000+ rolls around, Bubblegum was once again exhausted by the duties of office (having ruled for 1800 years), but decided to leave on her own terms. Simply abandoning her kingdom would have caused it to quickly collapse (cf. “The Pajama War”), and every time she created and/or appointed a successor, they turned into a tyrant (”Too Young”, “Goliad”, “Bonnibel Bubblegum”). Thus, the only option left was to load up her citizens in a device that would keep them safe until she eventually returned at some point in the future to resume control of her realm.

But could not the Prizeball Guardian simply be a defense mechanism in case the kingdom is attacked and/or Bubblegum is killed? Possibly, but cryogenically preserving candy citizens would do them no good if their creator—the one who could wake them up and then take care of them after some calamity—was gone (consider, for instance, that during times of war or natural disaster, governments don’t load up refugees onto buses, anesthetize them, and then drive them around in circles for decades). Indeed, the Prizeball Guardian seems less like a disaster-evasion project and more like a stasis chamber to keep the candy people safe until some future time. The storyboard for “Graybles 1000+” seems to back this up: when Crunchy is removed from stasis, he mumbles, “What time is it? Did it work?” In other words, it is as if Crunchy was expecting to be displaced in time and to be revived at some future date, rather than simply ‘saved’ (7).

The theory that Marceline and Bubblegum are still out there sidesteps many of the problems we have considered. It explains why some of Marceline’ stuff was picked up by BMO, whereas other items of greater sentimental value (e.g. the ax bass) are missing. Likewise, it nicely explains what happened to the Candy Kingdom. But where did Marceline or Bubblegum go? That is the real question. Perhaps they hopped down to the Nightosphere (unlikely), or perhaps they set off to find parts unknown. Maybe the went to Mars. (There’s even substantial evidence that they might be in the finale’s intro sequence!) The Oooniverse is pretty much unlimited, meaning that so too are the possibilities. Given that the Prizeball Guardian was designed to one day ‘wake up’ all the candy citizens, it is likely that Bubblegum (and Marceline) will one day return to Ooo, but for now, they are outies.

Still not convinced? Think I’m grasping at straws? Then let me present one final piece of evidence. Into 2016, Cartoon Network released a bonus video on their YouTube channel that features Marceline singing a song about “someone kind of special” to her. This song is a cover/reworking of the shows ending theme, "Come Along with Me”, in which Marceline lovingly intones:

Run away with me And the poltergeists and ghouls. We can wander through the darkness And play by our own rules.

Run away with me To a cavern shaped like home Where we'll build our own forever And never dance alone.

[emphasis added]

While rife with similes and rich language, the lyrics of the songs are pretty easy to decipher: Marceline cares deeply about someone and yearns to literally run off with them, living forever in a state of happiness. And what’s the name of this song? Why, the “Happy Ending Song”! While one could argue that the song isn’t canon and thus shouldn’t be considered as evidence (6), I think it nicely foretells what Marceline and Bubblegum‘s future holds. For one thing, the song is a play on "Come Along with Me", which in many ways is canonically 'prescient', as it is the song that plays during the montage depicting the future of Ooo's citizens. By alluding to and building off this tune, I would argue that "Happy Ending Song" arguably absorbs some of the original’s 'prescient' nature post facto (8). For another, the very last shot shows two feminine figures silhouetted against the setting sun, holding hands. Notice that this shot follows the lyrics and Marceline’s dialogue, subtly implying that it is depicting some future event. Ultimately, both the imagery in the video and the lyrics themselves hint heavily that Marceline and her paramour (which the series finale finally confirms to be Bubblegum) end up living together happily, free from the cares of modern society, as they “build [their] own forever” [emphasis added]. This nicely echoes what Marceline told Bubblegum at the end of Stakes: “Now, I guess we get to hang out together forever.”

Long story short: I believe that Marceline and Bubblegum are still alive and kicking, but have left Ooo far behind.

Footnotes

1. For instance, the the weird diving bell that used to hang from the Tree Fort is on the porch. While Marceline certainly lived in the Tree Fort at some point in the past, it's not entirely clear why she would've hauled this item all the way to her house and then abandoned it. It's more likely that it was scavenged by Finn and Jake, who arguably had a much more sentimental attachment to the old fort.

2. But Marceline loved Simon like a father! Why would she leave behind his glasses? Likely because these glasses were the ones that Simon wore while he and Marceline wandered the wasteland (you can tell because the left lens is broken). When he was returned to his normal state, he likely got new glasses, and these older ones were forgotten about.

3. While Bubblegum fully admits in “Goliad” that she will likely one day die, it is heavily implied that she believes her death will come from some horrible accident (like the Lich possession), rather than just old age. Furthermore, Bubblegum and Marceline’s discussions about mortality in Stakes suggests that Bubblegum would outlive Marceline were the latter to turn into a mortal. Remember, that in Farmworld, Marceline lived 1000 years as a mortal before she was killed by the Mutagenic Bomb. This means that Marceline as a mortal in Ooo Prime would likely live 1000 after turning mortal again (with the 1000 years she lived as a vampire not counting, since she was essentially ‘stuck’ at age ~20). Putting these puzzle pieces together suggests that Bubblegum believes she can easily live another 1000 years.

4. Notice also that in “Graybles 1000+”, the interior of the Guardian is dark but not dusty or abandoned. In fact, it looks quite well-lived in (and the storyboard for that episode, described as “cozy”); this suggests that someone was living here not too long ago. Given Bubblegum’s love of knowledge (note that books are strewn about as if they were recently read), and the portrait of the candy kingdom on the wall, it is heavily suggested that Bubblegum herself was the one who was occupying the space.

5. You might asking: what about Neddy and his love of the Candy Kingdom tree? Is not the tree dead in “Lemonhope”? Yes, but you will also notice that on the Prizeball Guardian, there are trees very similar to that which grew out of the Kingdom’s main tower.

6. The song was neither featured in nor written for a specific episodes, per Adam Muto. However, because Muto is very good about confirming/denying what is and is not canon (e.g. “The Adventure Time comics are as canonical as a Funko Pop”), the fact that his answer does not immediately decanonize the song is notable. Furthermore, the song is sung by Olivia Olson (that is, the official voice actress of Marceline), and the video even features new footage (albeit, mostly composed of flash-edited scenes from “Marceline’s Closet”).

7. Also, consider how hopelessly bleak and cruel it would be for the Prizeball Guardian to have been destroyed in “Graybles 1000+” if Bubblegum isn’t around anymore. The candy citizens would either sleep for eternity, or die a la 2001: A Space Odyssey. Neither fits with the arguably bittersweet (but certainly not mean-spirited) world of Adventure Time.

8. Perhaps this is why Marceline ends her song by noting it is an example of how "totally deep" she can be.

* As an aside, I also like the idea that Bubblegum, before she left, gave her crown to BMO (after all, were PB to have effectively abandoned her post, she would have no longer needed the crown), jokingly anointing the robot the “One True King of Ooo”, or something like that. It’s fitting that a joke like this would be taken up by BMO and turned into a veritable legend. It would also serve as one last dig against the charlatan King of Ooo, whom we know Bubblegum hated.

AT FINALE THOUGHTS

OHHHHHHHHHHHMYGOODNESS.

OKAY. SO I JUST FINISHED WATCHING THE AT SERIES FINALE AND…. HOOOOOOOOOO BOY.  I just sat in silence and stared at my black computer screen after the episode ended for a long time… and my hands feel so numb.  I can’t believe Adventure Time is actually over. I’ve been watching this series since 2012 and continuously since 2015… so 6 years invested fam. 6 years and it’s over today.

I really loved this episode because of all the references that it had to all the past episodes.  It was really nice to see the AT continuity at work once more, and how everything was so nicely put together in the end.  

Another thing I loved about this episode was all the themes & metaphors, the themes circling around being the very last episode of the legacy that is Adventure Time.  The themes of: “going on a new adventure” but yet “the fun will never end”.  Even though it’s all over, we’ll still keep moving forward, keep living our lives, keep going on new adventures, but yet forever hold Adventure Time dear to our hearts and carry the memories of the past with us.  This also kind of reminds me of the Stakes theme, “different but yet the same”, “everything stays, but it still changes.”  

"You and I will always be back then.”

This song was just so bittersweet and tearjerking. Even if we haven’t seen each other for a long time, even if we haven’t talked, even if we’ve all gone our separate ways, we’ll always still hold the memories of the past, the precious memories of when we were together, dear to our hearts.  Even if 1000 years has passed, despite everything that will happen, is happening, has happened, when we look back upon our past memories, held up like a billion tiny picture frames, you and I will always be back then.  And because you and I will always be back then, that’s why, you and I will always be best friends.

“Time is an illusion that helps things makes sense. So we're always living in the present tense.”

We don’t know everything about the past or the people who lived before us, but that’s okay.  When 1000 years have passed, the past may be forgotten, our lives may be forgotten, people in the future won’t remember who we are, and sure that’s scary, but it’s okay.  Time is an illusion: life goes on forever behind and ahead of us - in both the past and the future.  Everything stays, but nothing stays the same.  Our own lives are undoubtedly short, but yet it’s important, not because of the fact that we need to be remembered and make a mark on the world, not because we need to write down every minuscule detail so that those in the future will know who we are.  Life is important because of the abruptly forgotten happiness and undeniable joy that we experience each and every day, in all of our waking hours. 

“Everything stays, but it still changes.”

Things will happen, happening, happened.  Adventure Time has happen, happening, happened.  Even if it’s over… no matter what, we will move forward and just keep living our lives.  We will move on to a new adventure, a new home, new struggles & new people… we will move on to a new journey.  So when it’s happening, enjoy the time we have.  But when it’s happened, we will never forget the times we shared in the past, the times we shared as best friends and lived so merrily.   Things will happen again and again.  They may be different, and they may happen to different people in different times, but they will be familiar.  Life will go on forever behind and ahead of us, and the people who lived both before and after us will be different, but yet familiar in the ways that matter.  Maybe one day everything will come to an end, but because we remember, because we experienced joy, because time goes on forever and we’ll find ourselves in the people of both the past and future…  that’s why the fun will never end.  So, just go out, live your lives, be brave, have fun, and enjoy the ride.

“Time will unbind our memory glue. And I’ll be as nobody-ish as all of you.  So don’t care about a thing now.”

Adventure Time tells us to always live in the present, have fun, and be happy.  Don’t care about the past, don’t care about the future. The past has happened, the future will happen.  All that matters is to have fun, right now.  Dance your heart out.  Embarrass yourself.  Wear those unused socks you’ve been afraid of getting dirty.  Use that untouched silverware you’ve been saving for a “special day”.  Don’t care about what other people think.  Ask someone out.  Go on 3AM spontaneous adventures.  Spend lots of time with your friends and family.  Cry.  Laugh.  Live. Love yourself.  Just enjoy your life.  Don’t wait for the future, don’t fall back on the past.  Enjoy it now.

“Maybe by next summer, we won’t have changed our tune.”

A new adventure is starting and we’ll keep living our lives, but you and I will always be back then, and we won’t ever forget Adventure Time.  I think this finale portrayed these themes in such a beautiful way through Shermy, Beth, and of BMO telling the story of 1000 years ago.

One thing I was really hoping for in the finale was for it to wrap up all loose plot ends & to have bubbline be canon lol.  And I think it achieved both! Although rushed for sure, this finale did manage to wrap up all the loose plot ends.  There are absolutely still a lot of things that I would’ve liked to see, more things I wanted wrapped up, more lead up, more character development, more plot & world building…. especially with the open ends that the finale left off. Of course there’s so more that I want to see.  I know there’s so, so, so much more story to tell, so many more adventures to go on, so many plot gaps to wrap up. But all in all, for once I can finally say, I’m satisfied with this ending.  And I’m glad the crew pulled off this ending, despite the limited time & lead up they had to do it.

I think Adventure Time has shaped my childhood as well as my adulthood.  To be honest, it’s the reason I want to keep pursuing art as a career today, why I’m striving so hard now to get into the animation/art industry so maybe I can create masterpieces such as this show.  It’s the reason I want to write deep, lavish, and loving stories for others to read or watch.  It’s the reason I want to become a hero… just like Finn.

Thank you for shaping me into who I am.  Thank you for teaching me how to be brave and how to be myself.  Thank you for everything, Adventure Time.

Even though Adventure Time is now over, you and I will always be back then.  Let’s go on a new adventure together, and the fun will never end.

Come Along With Me - 10/10

Adventure Time (2010-2018) - 10/10

Thoughts about the finale episode itself below read more. Obvs spoilers.

SO. THOUGHTS… jumbled order because my mind is a mess rn. Will maybe organize later

Shermy & Beth.  Descendants or future lives of Finn & Jake?  A new adventure. “Everything stays, but yet it still changes.”  “The people that come after us may be different, but they’ll be familiar in the ways that matter.”

BMO AS THE KING OF OOO

Having all that stuff in his house, including Grob Gob Glob Grod’s head, princess crowns, Finn & Jake’s signs….

It’s been 1000 years since Finn & Jake huh…

BMO forgetting Finn’s name was really funny at first, but then it felt really bittersweet.  It kind of reminds me of this quote from Angel Beats: “Even if we forget the faces of our friends, we will never forget the bonds that were carved into our souls.”  Maybe BMO has forgotten Finn & Jake’s names and faces, it’s been 1000 years after all.  But their impact and their bonds on each other, are everlasting.

“Have fun on the other side of this door”

I feel like this is a direct comment to the viewers from AT itself… :’(

“What happened to Phil and Jake in the end? Or Princess Bubblegum?”

“Well, you know, they kept living their lives.”

… so bittersweet :’)

It’s so bittersweet to imagine a world without Finn & Jake, a world where they’re not there.  But they just kept living their lives, having fun…

I feel like the crew is trying to tell us to keep living our lives, even after the show’s over, even after the adventure’s over.  I love this ending.  Shoot, I’m tearing up again.

“Thank you for visiting the King of Ooo”

Honestly I feel like all these little things that BMO told Shermy & Beth were metaphors/parallels directed at us viewers.  The crew is telling us, “Thank you for watching Adventure Time.”

Really like the dream scene. I was very confused at first, but I ended up really liking it.  It was a chance for the crew to showcase and reference past episodes and characters.  And I also really like how the dream paralleled PB - Gumbald, Finn - Fern, Jake - Jermaine. 

I liked that in the dream sequence, Finn became a butterfly (his past life). Maybe Shermy is a future life of Finn?

BUBBLINE IS CANON

MY FAVORITE OTP SINCE 2015 IS FINALLY CANON WTF OHHHMYGOODNESS THE FEELSSSS

2015 ME IS REALLY POPPING THOSE BOTTLES RIGHT NOW

Yeah sure the reveal/lead up could’ve been better, but I’m honestly just so glad that it happened at all. I think I’ve been dreaming about this day for four years now

HOLY SHIT FERN 

HOLY SHIT BETTY

HOLY SHIT SIMON

WHY TF DID BETTY JUST DIE….???!?!???

I know she died saving Simon and destroyed GOLB but like WTF BETTY

“I always thought I’d go out saving someone.”

“No one gets to chose how it happens” -Simon

WTF WHYYYYYY SIMON. That’s hard…

“Please listen to me! We’ve been friends for a long time.” - Finn… Then PB immediately saw Shoko in Finn.  Shoko’s metal arm to Finn’s….  Once more all the feels.

“THEY’RE ALL DEAD!”

“Un-Make Me”

FERN IS FINALLY SAVED… his anguish is gone. FINN AND FERN FINALLY FACED THE VAULT. THEY FINALLY FACED THEIR FEARS AND GOTTEN RID OF THEIR FEARS.

Honestly I’ve kind of forgotten about the Vault until this episode. And I’m so so so glad that Vault was finally brought up again, and that BOTH Finn & Fern are finally facing their deepest fears.  I think that sends a really good message… to face your fears so you can heal.

WHY DID FERN HAVE TO DIE MY SWEET ANGSTY GRASS BOY HE JUST RECOVERED, DESTROYING HIS TRAUMA AND HE DIED… AND HE JUST WANTED TO SEE THE TREEHOUSE ONCE LAST TIME BEFORE HE DIED OH MY GOD I CAN’T

Finn planting the remains of Fern in the ruined Treehouse

AND THE REAPPEARANCE OF THE FINN SWORD…. TO MAKE A NEW TREEHOUSE.  a new journey… a new adventure. FERN WANTED TO SEE THE TREEHOUSE BEFORE HE DIED SO HE BECAME THE TREEHOUSE.  the feels are too heavy why is it raining

LUMPS & LEMON. W T F.

Honestly this surprised me more than the Bubbline kiss. Like WTF lol.

GOLB

OMG GOLB FINALLY MAKES HIS APPEARANCE???

Tbh I felt like the lead up to GOLB could’ve been A LOT better rather than just a quick flashback into Simon’s memory when he read about GOLB in a book.  But I guess the AT crew did what they could with the limited time they had.

GOLB BECAME BETTY THO???That scene of GOLB leveling up/becoming Betty WAS LIT AF… when everything turned black & white and chalky? OH MANNN I LOVE animations that do that.  Kinda reminds of Gurren Lagann or Evangelion lol.

SWEET PEA PROTECTING HIS PARENTS

I really thought that the Lich arc was going to take off again, somewhere, somehow, before the end of the series.  But I guess not, I guess the Lich will stay a Sweet Pea forever.

SWEET PEA IS BECOMING BILLY?!?!??

Marcy’s Mushroom War flashback

MARCY ONCE MORE RELEASED HER POWER FROM STAKES AND TURNED GOAT MODE TO PROTECT HER GIRLFRIENDDDD

Simon is finally, finally saved. Although they had to kill off Betty in the process… Not sure how I feel about this yet…

However, if Simon trying to save Betty now? The reverse is happening?  That ending scene when he went to visit Prismo… he must’ve been trying to ask Prismo for a wish to save Betty but Prismo didn’t know how, he just shrugged his shoulders.  I vaguely remember in the past that Betty has also went to Prismo to ask to save Simon.  So Simon & Betty kinda swapped positions now.  I just hope all the same thing aren’t happening all over again but with Simon instead of Betty……..

I LOVE BMO’S SONG. EVERYONE STARTED SINGING TOGETHER.  IN THE END, MUSIC HEALED AND SAVED THE WORLD.  YOU AND I WILL ALWAYS BE BACK THEN.

GUNTER BECAME EVERGREEN/ICE THING?????

Comment from Reddit: If Betty’s intuition was right, the crown reset back to it’s pre-golb state once it was no longer in the confines of Golb. So the crown went back to the default wish prehistoric gunter made; to be like Evergreen.

So like… is Orgalog still there? Orgalog = Evergreen?  Would have liked to have seen more details/light on this.

I mean he doesn’t look too evil checking out books at the library and marrying Turtle Princess lol.

I also would’ve like to see more insight about the Elements, since they were just recently introduced, and how the elements all come to play a part in everything.

Was also imagining a Jake death for the finale but I’m SO glad that didn’t happen. I guess Jake’s banana space prophecy dream was just a dream after all.

FINN IS ALMOST THE SAME HEIGHT AS PB.  FINN GOT SO MUCH OLDER & TALLER & MATURE.  WHY DOES THIS REMIND ME OF FMAB SO MUCHHHH. 

I LOVED THE REAPPEARANCE OF THE MUSIC HOLE. I REALLY REALLY REALLY LOVED THE FINALE’S USE OF PAST EPISODES/PLOT/CHARACTERS.

I LOST IT WHEN THE MUSIC HOLE STARTED SINGING THE ENDING SONG. THAT ENDING SEQUENCE D E S T R O Y E D ME. I CRIED SO MUCH.  Just watching all the characters go about their post-show lives… UGH these kind of ending sequences in any show ALWAYS GETS ME.  This ending just brought back so many FMAB ending sequence feels… :’)

GUNTER AND TURTLE PRINCESS…. WTF LOL

SWEET PEA GRADUATED

SIMON VISITING PRISMO TO ASK HOW TO SAVE BETTY :’(

PB & Lolly hanging out, being pals, singing to Neddy :’)

The fern tree/treehouse 1000 years later. Kind of reminds me of the 1000 years later scene from that one graybles episode.

Normal Man and Margles… I guess he never got to save her, but he’ll always remember her.  THE FEELS……..

GIRL SQUAD

BONNIE AND MARCY SNUGGLING IN BED TOGETHER.  MY GAY FEELS I CAN’T.  Also LOL Peppermint Butler’s “Dark Magic 101″  (wait is he still peppermint kid? lol)

Finn only one arm forever now?  Finn didn’t end up with anyone in the end, and I’m actually really happy about that.  It was SUCH a great choice to not force Finn into a romance, and I’m loving it.

Finn’s mom & other humans finally came to Ooo!!!!!!!

I liked how the entire ending’s theme is, “a new adventure”, “things will never end, everything goes around in a circle”.  This show will live on forever.  Especially with Shermy & Beth pulling out the Finn Sword Finn & Jake style.  “The fun will never end”.

“It seems unforgiving when a good thing ends. But you and I will always be back then.  Will happen, happening, happened. And will happen again and again. Cause you and I will always be back then. That’s why, you and I will always be best friends.”

“Everything stays, right where you left it.  Everything stays, but it still changes.  Ever so slightly, daily and nightly. In little ways, when everything stays.”

“Maybe by next summer, we won’t have changed our tune. We’ll still want to be with the butterflies and bees.  Making up new numbers, living so merrily….”

YOU AND I WILL ALWAYS BE BACK THEN
