Fiona And Cake - Blog Posts
Finished my Fionna and Cake oc fic. Here it is. Please for the love of god I need a reply in my life. Give me reviews! Yes, I am shameless!
Updated my Fionna and Cake show fic. Please! Tell me anything about it, I'm desperate and shamelessly asking for reviews at this point.
Also this meme.
The fact that Fionna is bragging about how many post-apocalyptic RPG's she's played while Simon's telling her not to do stuff and he's ACTUALLY survived in a post-apocalyptic world for who knows how long before he went completely insane...
Last little sketches before moving on, I really hope we get some more stuff though!! I do not even care what it is about! My brain craves Adventure Time Content!!
Petrigrof this, Gumlee that! What about Little Jay..... Jaytiny..... DestiJay ....help
The fit is sooooooooo....... ya know?
Okay, this may be silly, but we may want to pay attention to this.
Idk, maybe it's nothing, but Cosmic Owl has to use coins in order to enter dreams. This is speculation, but maybe he is "Profiteering" off of those coins? Now, this may never be revisited, but i feel like this was supposed to be seen. Am i the only one thinking this?
Also, did the Cosmic Owl (CO) know about the unauthorized Fiona and Cake Universe? Prismo and CO were bffs (if i remember correctly), and Cosmic Owl can see into Ice King's dreams. Would CO ever visit those dreams to visit Fiona's or Cake's dreams to let them know that their dream was a vision like he did for Finn and Jake?
Anyway, idk, maybe it's all just silly thoughts.
i do not usually draw topless men, but when i do....
My life has led up to this point ...

Fionna and Cake is out today!! 👱🏻♀️🐈🧊✨ You can watch the first two episodes on Max! New episodes every Thursday!
I boarded on a few episodes of the first half of the series 🌚 I really liked working on this show and I’m just as excited as everybody else to see the rest of these episodes! 💙
Simon Petrocov has two hearts, and the very existence of this fact implies that Golb possesses an infinite glitch, specifically when it comes to organs. Let me explain my horrific thought process.
During a spell, Ice King, trying to "steal Princess Bubblegum's heart," accidentally brought his own heart to life. If you watched the early seasons of Adventure Time, you probably remember him. Ricardio, the smooth talking heart.
But the one thing I didn't realize was that Ricardio actually never fused back with Simon, meaning that up until Come Along With Me, Ice King literally didn't have a heart. But once he was broken down by Golb, presumably, he was reset back to a time where he did have a heart. Because yknow, humans need those.
So basically, my thoughts are that it'd be insanely easy to harvest organs in Ooo if you ever came across Golb, and yknow, could survive that encounter without being zapped into puzzle pieces.
Maybe it only worked for Simon because Betty wished to have the power to be able to keep him safe at any cost, and maybe that means Simon literally doesn't have a heart anymore, and my whole theory is debunkable... But if that IS how it works: infinite organ farming.
I think this is a really valid criticism, OP! Though, maybe I'm just optimistic, but I actually took the ending in a different way. I do agree with you that a lot of these mutliverse shows and movies lately have had that pattern of, "lmao get good loser", in response to valid issues, which is absolutely infurating to see. It feels demeaning, handwavy, and just overall frustrating!
But to me, I think the story of FC was about stagnation vs. growth; and about how wish fufillment isn't quite the way to achieve life of your dreams. Both Simon's and Fiona's stories are about acceptance about the shitty aspects of their lives, but more specifically, they're about how that acceptance begins to pave the way towards joy. At first it seems like it's the same message, but when you look a little deeper, it takes on a different form. Especially once you take in GolBetty and the Lich into account.
Fiona wants nothing more than to live in a magical world, one where she doesn't have to deal with the infurating nature of modern life. But once she goes on her big ol' magical, life changing adventure, she realizes that the world she holds dear is special in its own right. Her joy doesn't come immediately. She definitely seems happier after seeing Gary and Marshall together and not trying to kill eachother- but I think her true development comes from her being able to finally fulfill her dreams; and then being given a purpose: to rebuild their world and town. Sure, it's a lot of responsibility, but she's Fiona!!! I don't think this girl will ever go back to a traditional 9-5 ever again. She's their world's hero now.
Simon, on the other hand, is a bit slower to change. Yet again, though, his story is less about acceptance and more about ingenuity. As much as I hate to say it, because Finn is in no way a "mental health king", I think he was on the right path when tried to take Simon on an adventure to make him feel better. What Simon needed more than anything was to know that he was still needed. That he still mattered. Even though he felt alienated, like an artifact in a museum, he still had a point to be on that shelf. What Finn screwed up, though, was how he went about it. Simon could've gotten through this period by just talking to Marcy and being honest, but he's far too scared of letting her see him that unstable again. But once he's able to talk to Fiona about it, and see for a fact, that his actions mattered: that the simple act of caring for Marcline kept the Vampires from taking over Ooo- he begins to develop.
Again, although his final development wasn't shown until the montage, I think that's simply because we haven't seen the last of Simon. Or Fiona, for that matter. They aren't being told to accept the fact that they have nothing to live for, but to find it.
It's a story about how wish fulfillment doesn't always work out for the best and that sometimes, the true slice of heaven that you've been craving was just a world where you felt like you had a place. It's one where even a god who can make all your wishes come true can end up depriving you of a purpose once it's achieved. It's one about how dreams come true in stranger ways, like Scarab becoming Prismo's apprentice and being given the chance to make his own worlds, too. It's one where even when given the chance to imagine a new reality with your lover, you know it's time to accept the one you have for what it is.
Still, absolutely valid analysis, this was just my take! :D
Wasn’t crazy about the Fionna and Cake ending
A lot of things were fine. Good even. this isn’t about something as simple as “Simon didn’t end up with Betty 😡” because frankly I didn’t ever see that happening. No, it’s about this wishy-washy message I keep seeing in all this multiverse media. Tell me if this one sounds familiar: our heroes are unhappy with some aspect of their lives, like maybe they’re struggling to get by due to bad finances. then they go on some zany, multiverse-spanning adventure where they eventually learn that their universe is just fine!!! and that they’ve got to make the most of it!! (Also usually the big problem is cheaply resolved, like it never even mattered.)
and frankly, this style of story, which we keep fucking seeing, is starting to sound a hell of a lot like “suck it up, buttercup! if you wanted a good life you should have tried harder. have you ever considered getting out of your own way?”
you see this in EEAAO of course. “oh is the world too financially cruel? is your mom homophobic? well have you ever considered just asking nicely about both of those things, you dummy?” And honestly in a lot of ways the ending of Fionna and Cake is even worse. Why should Simon be happy with his shitty job at the fucking human zoo? Why should Fionna be happy with working a shitty job her entire life?
and then you think about who’s actually writing and directing our oh-so-uplifting multiverse stories and it’s like. oh yeah. millionaires. successful people. who actually got what they wanted out of life. they’re not saying *they* should be happy with nothing, no no no. they’re part of the *special people* who get to dream. *you’re* the one who should be satisfied with nothing. and let’s take it even further why not. how many of these successful types even deserve it? how many of them even make beautiful things? not a lot!!
personally, being told by someone who’s living their dream that I should just be happy being a little scrap of nothing makes me want to burn down the whole world. and I would have at least preferred at least a drop of that catharsis in the ending of Fionna and Cake
Okay, the ending of Fiona and Cake was cute and all, but how the hell are the citizens of the real world Ooo gonna react when they see a show other than Cheers playing on their TV's ?!
Like, imagine waking up, constantly just watching Cheers, and then you hear the damn Law and Order intro for the first time. Like yeah, beating Scarab, and not dying horribly and painfully was cool and all, but I'm more psyched about the new cable channels.
Yknow, at first, when I saw the latest episode, I had been a bit disappointed with the route that they took Simon and Betty's romance; but after thinking it over quite a bit, I think I appreciate the route they took, despite how differently it makes me see the characters. Sometimes, the right thing for a story isn't always the best thing, just like how in life, not everyone makes the right choices all the time. Emotions make life beautiful, but they also muddle things up.
I've never been one for a teacher x student type romance. That whole power imbalance always leaves a sour taste in my mouth. Since Simon was just a guest speaker, it wasn't quite the same, but I think a lot of people, including myself, saw those parallels. But, I think the whole idea of unhealthy/obsessive/codependent love has always been centeral to their relationship.
Unlike some may assume, the unhealthiness doesn't stem from that part, though. Yes, there's a small age gap. Yes, Simon made a ton of mistakes. But with further analysis, nothing about it is painted as your stereotypical incredibly unhealthy teacher/student ship. Instead, it's their issues and strengths that create chaos.
There's nothing about their relationship that can be considered grooming, and I say this as someone who's personally been groomed. They didn't get into a relationship until after Betty tried to leave the second time, and there's absolutely nothing about Simon that screams "predator." You know how he is with Marcy and Finn, and pretty much every child he comes in contact with (when he isn't throwing away their favorite books). Hell, even Ice King had standards and lines he wouldn't cross. Their issues stem from their insecurities as professional nerds, and as two broken, lonely, people.
When you're a student, especially one who's passionate about the subject matter you're learning about, you can't help but put your teachers (the good ones, I mean), on a pedestal. They're these untouchable gods who have somehow cracked the answers to questions you haven't even asked yet and who are there to guide you. And as a teacher, you want nothing more than to see a student thrive, be happy, and enjoy your lessons. There's nothing more satisfying than seeing your student take your lesson, and run with it, and go farther than you ever could. From the start, these two towed the lines of codependency.
Simon was laughed at by his fellow professors and other archeologists for believing that the Enchiridion existed; which couldn't have been a good feeling as a professional. Sure, after the expedition with Betty, he was rewarded with all the glory one could wish for; but that isolation must've been horrible. He must've been seen along the same veins as the "Ancient Aliens" guys, as a crackpot conspiracy theorist, barely deserving of his PHD. I can imagine just how much of a relief it'd be to have someone so brilliant as Betty agree with your findings, and be willing to help you prove once and for all, that you aren't crazy.
Betty seemed to struggle with connecting with her peers. I'm mostly gathering this from how willing she was to sacrifice everything for Simon, I'd bet he was the only genuine close relationship, romantic or otherwise, that she had. We (or at least I) don't know much about Betty's backstory, but I think at least that much can be surmised. In Ep 8 FC, she mentions her mother, and in season 9 or 10, we see her calling someone before she met Simon... But, that's about all we have for close relationships. How many people would you jump through a portal for? Become god for? Sacrifice your sanity for? To have someone you admire, think that you're basically the strongest, bravest person they ever met in the world and to actually be needed by them... From what we know about Betty, she definitely had a savior complex of some sorts. Happens to the best of us, but still. She got so used to sacrificing things for Simon that she never thought about going back to Australia with him to continue her study, or both studying different things together, just helping him.
They both gave each other what the world deprived them of: validation, love, and respect. But because neither of them had anyone else to rely upon, to provide them with those bare necessities, they became unhealthy for one another. Neither of them has truly lived without the other because they were eachothers home. Their food, water, and shelter.
So, in a lot of ways, I think it was for the best they added this extra layer. It helps you truly understand the imperfections of their relationship, just how desperate both of them were as two nerdy little archeologists, to find and keep the love they had alive.
Simon: A Relic of Time
I'm pretty sure I'm just becoming an AT/FC account, and y'know what? I'm just gonna roll with it. I was going to do a more thematic analysis today, but since it's my birthday and I only have so much time, I'm just doing a short one. I think it's interesting how Simon was once an archeologist/antiquities collector; and his character arc began in FC with him on display like the very same artifacts that he once collected. As an anthropology major, the whole idea of taking artifacts of long-gone civilizations to study is seen as normal, but it's also a hot button issue in the field. What right does one human have for the sake of science, yknow? Specifically, though, I find it interesting because it seems that the scene was meant to be taken less literally? Maybe I'm over thinking it, but I think the very idea of being put on display for the whole world to see, like a caged-up animal in a zoo, goes to show just how disconnected Simon felt with Ooo at the start of the series. He didn't feel like he belonged in anything other than a museum. Perhaps he tells himself that it's purely for the sake of authenticity and preserving the history of humanity as much as possible; but really, it's just another way that his past has left him chained and trapped in despair. The crown was never Simon's biggest threat, he was.
Thinking about the implications of EP 8, Jerry, a little too much. The idea that death without life is meaningless and life without death is terrifying. The concept of technology and ai surviving far beyond our mortal human existence, and the loneliness and confusion that stems from not being confined to time.
The idea of a bloodthirsty being, such as the Lich, getting absolutely everything he could dream of: all life eradicated in an instant, only to realize that he has nothing left to do for the rest of eternity. The idea of being the only other being in existence, made of metal and wire, and being forced to grapple with why YOU survived. Out of everything in the universe, the trees, the grass, the animals, the people, YOU are all that's left. You and Jerry.
To be in the room with the being that killed all life, and the one being you can't kill. Sure, maybe it'd be easy. You just need to hit them hard enough, and they'd be gone. Forever.
But then what's left?
You. Alone. You'd be the only tree left to fall in the forest, unable to make a sound. You can cut yourself down, but what, then? What. Then.
You see this creature made of electricity and love, talk about the world like it's still there. And for a moment, it makes you believe that you still have a purpose. To have one last person walking around in the fossilized forest is enough, because maybe, if they're lucky, they'd find an axe and cut you down. Maybe you wouldn't know if you could make a sound...
But they would.
