The fact that Main-verse Ooo is as good and as kind as it is (relative to the other universes shown so far, at least, it's obviously not perfect) all because of the same character that starts off as the OG series' antagonist, the person we were made to see as the bad guy (albeit an often ineffectual one) for several seasons, is making me lose my mind.
Imagine finding out the guy you spent your childhood beating up and saving princesses from is in fact a driving catalyst behind you being able to exist, and not only exist but also live in a world that knows what kindness is. All because that man, the same man who you've witnessed do terrible things, once met a little girl and taught her how to be good.
Simon's story really shows us that even if you lose your way and forget how it is to be good yourself, the world keeps the memory for you. That act of love Simon showed Marcy by protecting her and seeing her as more than the monster she thought herself to be created ripples upon ripples, small at first but eventually enough to help give their wreckage of a world—a world that easily could have been forsaken, its goodness overlooked because of its inhospitable remains—a chance to grow into something beautiful. Because of those very same ripples Simon created, the people of Ooo grew up in a world where they know enough about kindness that they were able and willing to spare the 'bad guy' some, to see beyond the wreckage and allow him to grow too.
In saving Marceline, Simon helped to not only to save the world, but also himself.

I just love q!Mike so much cause he's canonically arospec, is green and black, and has fucking emotions and doesn't hold back in expressing them and he has a bestie that's been by his side his whole life and cares about that bestie so much he tortured someone for hurting him and like I have never felt so seen in a character before? (Besides Lilith TOH <3)
It feels like such a breath of fresh air to see such a close platonic relationship and a character who doesn't fall in love but he has can and will kill for Pac and the greatest part about it to me is that as far as I know cc!Mike doesn't even know the word aro he probably knows nothing about the aspec community and I feel like it just shows how easy it is to write us and yet ppl like sob and scream and throw up at the thought of not being able to write two characters in a very useless romantic plotline

ngl younger ppl (heck even older people) that takes someone's age out to shame them for doing "cringy" stuffs (eg. self shipping, ect...) is way more cringe

I find it just a tad bit concerning that I've seen several teens (14-16) watching all of Hazbin Hotel (which is essentially rated R) and openly talking about it in school. Like absolutely loving it.
And I hear them talking about it and they are definitely not getting the points right and specifically taking it in a negative light that they see as positive (specifically with characters like Valentino)
Don't get me wrong I LOVE that show but it's rather.... Mature... For younger people 😭 especially those specific people. Like just because it's animated doesn't automatically make it for GA
ALSO BLUE EYED SAMURAI- THEY'RE ALSO WATCHING THAT LIKE PLEASE GOOD GOD
