Can I just say that I never thought I'd be reblogging so much Bubbline content in 2023. Like Obsidian back in 2020 was already a nice little treat. But to think that five years after the finale we'd have not just a revisit but a resurgence of love for Adventure Time. From a fandom that wasn't exactly dead, but was definitely dormant. I mean Bubbline shippers really fucking won. We went from a hypothetical backstory, to a confirmed history, to a slow burn handled with the utmost care. Concluding with confirmation to the audience that they were officially back together. And then they decided to show us their lives post finale and that was already shocking considering how the media treats sapphic relationships. Especially in animation. But then they gave us a spinoff show with the genderbent versions of this amazing ship and that's cool, I love Marshall and Gary. But they didn't just leave us with that, oh no. They ALSO gave us our girls, both in canon and as an au (which was phenomenal). And basically confirmed that they truly are soulmates no matter the universe. Even when they don't fall in love, their destinies are entwined. Like...that's unheard of. We're just barely getting storylines like that in live action. And they gave us that in a cartoon! And they weren't even a background ship. They were THE ship. I just... I've never been so happy. And the creativity that artists have now that we have more design choices and more outfits. It makes me cry every time I see it across ALL of my socials.
#bubbline#marceline the vampire queen#princess bubblegum#marshall lee#gary prince#gumlee#and i know they've added more sapphic storylines to animation#but it's still usually a subplot/throw away (korrasami)#or a kyd storyline with one of them ending up heartbroken (pearl)#or the show gets cancelled (owl house)#so to have bubbline go from a 'blink and you miss it' plot#to an in your face 'they're girlfriends' plot#and then not have it end with the finale and pretend like it didn't happen or wasn't important#like Obsidian was a whole half hour dedicated to them and who they were before the main show started#and then f&c could've left them out of it and just focused on gary and marshall#but no. the girls were still a part of it because their relationship is a core part of the show#I'll never shut up about them i fear#original post#vernalfey
