Oh my god. Just sat and binged Fionna and Cake up to the 8th and current episode and I’m dying inside and I’m soooooo happy. Also SPOILERS AHEAD. If you don’t want spoilers, please don’t read ahead please, thank you. I’m going to cry over how much of a dad Simon is under the cut. I have a lot of feelings for him right now hhhhhhH

Ok, you’ve been warned. I’m going to talk about Simon a lot now so get comfy.

All I can say is. Oh my god, I’ve been wanting to see more of Simon for so long. For YEARS, dangit. And I am so glad I finally got it. On top of that, I am literally crying over how much of a cinnamon roll man he is (not that he wasn’t ever, obvi). But he is one of the most comforting paternal characters I have ever seen depicted in animation.

The way he was clearly growing attached to Fionna, and Fionna was growing more attached to him was absolutely hurting me in the best way. The way he continually tried to distract and comfort her when she was upset and blaming herself got me. The way he was ALWAYS keeping an eye on her and Cake, pulling them out of harm’s way, and trying to protect them (queue Simon stabbing a FUCKING VAMPIRE TO DEATH to protect Fionna, even though he had no extra powers and could have easily DIED), and need I even say the fact that he was about to put that FUCKING CROWN back on his head just so they could stay safe and alive?

And don’t. Don’t you even GET ME STARTED about Simon holding baby Finn and staying completely calm while he had a DANG KNIFE UP AGAINST HIS NECK???? Oh my GOD????

You guys I. I can’t actually handle it, I am legitimately going to cry. Characters like Simon are my favorite- deeply flawed, in pain themselves, and still somehow kind and loving towards others all the same.

Let’s also talk about how he knew something was wrong with the Candy Queen, and wanted mercy to be taken on her because he understood what it felt like to be in her shoes. He was so incredibly empathetic towards her situation. To everyone’s situations.

Trauma does one of two things to people, I’ve noticed throughout my life. Trauma either destroys them and hardens them. Or they do their best to make sure that they never take out their pain on others and do their best to still be kind. Simon. Is. The. Latter.

I have so many feelings. Way too many feelings. If they kill this man, I swear I am going to light the world on fire, they better not touch him—

((Also would anyone be interested in some emotional fanfiction with Simon being a dad because. Uhhhh that might be happening. Idk if I can control myself at this point and familial bonding is MY JAM))
