you must be so exhausted.
I never figured out whether I like this one better in color or not AGRESSIVE SHRUG
Iām so fucked up about simon. His character arc in the main series was set up that ice king becoming a simon again was inevitable. It wasnāt a matter of if, but when and how.
but now that itās happened, itās the worst thing that couldāve happened to him.
he had friends! a special secret club of wizards he had matching rings and would go on roadtrips with! he wasnāt even really a problem anymore!
bettyās character is so fantastic. she traveled through time for him. She went insane for him. She become a god for him. But him being Simon was easier for her. Did she ever truly consider if it was what he wanted? Sheās not even there with him. Sheās not there and now heās Simon and heās more isolated than ever.
He lives with humans! At this point, Finn has known him longer as Simon than he knew him as Ice King. Ice King is just an old memory now. But Simon is over a thousand years old. āSimon Petrikovā is just an old memory too. Heās human again, but not really.
Whatās worse is how smart he is. Heās an intelligent and emotionally competent man. So he really, truly, profoundly knows how deeply fucked up his life is. Heās so aware of it.
wouldnāt it be easier? If he was stupid and naive and magical? does he miss magic? maybe not ice, but magic itself? would he try to learn? Does he remember the password to Wizard City? Would they even still let him in? thereās a school. He could learn magic again. but would he? Doesnāt Simon Petrikov like learning about magic?
Everything Stays. Heās still here. But heās different now. Everything is different now except itās not because the world stayed the same and heās the one who changed. He canāt go back. Except he did, in a way, and it wasnāt even his choice.
