reading some of other people's analysis of simon and the new stuff in fionna and cake makes me want to clarify that i use separate tags for simon and ice king/for petrigrof and ice king and betty's dynamic not because i think of them as fully distinct separate people (which they aren't) but bc since betty and restored simon both consider IK to be Not Simon and since IK can't remember enough to recognize the identity as his own, the situations/dynamics are different enough that i think different tags are necessary. hell, i think in the main series even by the end when ice king is pretty stable the only people who consistently talk to/interact with him As Simon are marceline and finn
