RIGHT AND LIKE

there's huge significant parts of the story that show that the fact HE, specifically, became cursed, was something that changed the course of many events for the better like. We saw that if he was not there to protect and influence Marcy for the better, she would have been a force of destruction, and in that very same universe, someone else (I forget his name rn rip ...) putting the crown on drove him to be a force of destruction. Recapping farmworld, Simon used the crown to prevent the apocalypse at the cost of his own life. When Finn put it on later however, he was a force of destruction. Simon, in our main timeline becoming Ice King and essentially keeping that crown quarantined on his head prevented anyone else from obtaining it and inevitably becoming a force of destruction. Simon, even at his most mentally degraded, was stronger than the curse that anyone else would have fully succumbed to and hurt the world with, because he was a selfless person the ENTIRE time (just sometimes, his choices he thinks are in the best interest of everyone are coming from a more self serving place than he realizes. Which is not like. A sin. That's a pretty normal flaw to have when you like, deeply struggle with social cues and self worth,,,,) The WORST things he ever did as ice king weren't intentionally malicious and destructive, it came out of loneliness and just having some friends dialed his madness back so hard-core ik was a fully functioning person by the AT finale. I would go as far as saying if pb was the one who ever found the crown, she'd be a force of destruction too because of what we saw of her as candy queen running on ik's madness, which was mostly the same as what we know it to be except like. Ik never got to the point of literally trying to murder-suicide pb ,,, and her kingdom in that universe was also more fucked up than like, the ice kingdom, which was just ice king and penguins

It's SOOOOO fucking strange to ultimately frame Simon being worthy of punishment for like, some mildly dumb choices he made early in his relationship (that were newly added in the new series mind you, never something that was part of the backstory before 🤨) and imply that somehow led to him being cursed and it's his fault...??? But we KNOW it's not, because they were already together long enough to be engaged before finding the crown?? Betty wasn't even THERE when he found it? Winter King's story, as far as my speculation goes, suggests he would have absolutely found it with or without her in his life. (And WK fucked up big time but.. in sound mind (as sound as it can be only partially cursed) he chronically people pleases to essentially attone for the skeleton in his closet. I would stand by the speculation it was still better he did what he did than how the world could have ended up if ANYONE ELSE found the crown)

It's stupid!!!!! It makes no goddamn sense no matter how i twist and turn it, he didn't deserve that narrative dragging ALSO LIKE TAKE IT EASY ON HIM he was trying to off himself (by yeeting himself into the void) and then later trying to essentially just mentally off himself by re-cursing his brain and throwing his life in the can, like I think every little thing he ever regrets and hates himself for he served his time ruminating on it ,,
