More Hermes here.
Based on the myth in which Zeus gives baby Dionysus to Hermes. Apparently, this event fits into one of those types of common myths, because surprisingly it has several sources and versions and is even an element also present in Roman mythology. I don't know why, but I didn't expect it to have as many variants as I found (or, at least, that such variants had come to us in such numbers), although I knew there was a famous statue showing this (and I discovered there was an amphora also). Anyway, I'm not basing it on any specific version, just the basic idea of Hermes having a role in being temporarily responsible for Dionysus.
Dionysus's design has already been explained previously, I just made him a baby. As a result, the horns are smaller and there is less detail. Maybe the next time I make him an adult his design will change, but it wasn't this time since he's a baby here.
As for Hermes, I used the idea of the winged petasus since it's a typical symbol of his and in this drawing you can't see it, but I will probably also keep the wings on his feet. I checked amphorae that had Hermes on them and noticed that it's common for him to be portrayed wearing a chlamys as it's an outfit often worn by travelers, so I drew him wearing one too. Like Dionysus, Hermes is both represented in a younger form (without a beard) and in an older form (with a beard). I decided to go with the younger version, because my first contact with him in ancient sources was when I read Homer and Homer described him like that, so that was the image I had of Hermes. In this drawing you can't see it because of the clothes, but I usually draw the body in the sketch before covering it and for Hermes I used Olympic runners as a reference to get an idea of a physique associated with speed.

So, with the knowledge that the Magic Crown was imbued with the Wish to make its wearer into a clone of Urgence Evergreen
It becomes quite clear that the mental transformation of Simon Petrikov into Ice King was less of a direct effect of the Crown, but rather an indirect result of its various side-effects.
Simon lost his original interest in academia and research as a result of the Crown’s Madness clawing away at his Memory. Obviously the loss of his long-term memories straight-up made him forget the things he once loved and the things he once learned. And the degradation of his short-term memory made it hard for him to ever re-learn anything he has forgotten.
Other effects of the Magic-Madness-Fueled mental deterioration included an ever-shortening attention span and general childishness - both of which made it hard for him to pursue the sort of academic research that was once his bread and butter.
Meanwhile, Simon’s Sadness of losing Betty had metamorphosed through both memory loss and delusion into an obsession with Princesses. And this has also led into a secondary obsession with being attractive enough to be desirable to Princesses - Filtered through Ice King’s extremely limited and somewhat immature understanding of both relationships and gender roles. Simon replaced his original intellectual pursuits with chasing a very simple image of idealized ‘sexy’ masculinity that he was… probably never capable of pulling off, let’s be honest. But especially not as Ice King, not just due to his disconnect from reality - but also due to how simplified, shallow and kinda-childish his idea of being 'manly' actually is.
One of Ice King’s biggest hobbies is exercise, body-building and weight loss - because he wants to be a muscular hunk to attract the princesses. Although with his loose grip of reality, his idea of a ‘muscular hunk’ is more of an Emaciated Hermit.
This is the most obvious example of Ice King’s obsession with his own physical appearance, but certainly not the only one.
And such, despite not being directly ‘programmed’ too, the Crown turned the nerdy, hopelessly-romantic academic Simon Petrikov into the Ice King - A goofy silly idiot obsessed with being attractive to the opposite sex and fitting into a very shallow idea of idealized gender presentation. And therefore, the Crown’s effect on Simon can be absolutory considered to be a valid form of Bimbofication.

Marauders fic in which James' family adopts Sirius formally so he goes by Sirius Potter, years later he and Remus get married and Remus also takes the last name Potter solely to confuse people. They would absolutely abuse this and sign stuff just as 'Potter' to mess with each other or with the ministry. Any takers?
(today on 'is this funny, or am I just severely sleep deprived ?')
Look, I just want Harry to have a ridiculously big family instead of none at all, is that too much to ask?
