Look I'm not saying that the Simon possessing Shermy was planned ever since the original Adventure Time finale.
I'm just pointing out, that when Shermy started looking at random stuff at BMO's The King Of Ooo's house, the things he was most drawn to were... interesting choices:

I posted this Pawn Swan design here way back after the AT finale (The .png file says it was made in September 2014💀)

The first and second pass at the 1000+ library, I was reading Gormenghast at the time. I don't know if it's clear, but the intention was that this was /always/ what was under the main-series library? Haha I don't know if that actually makes sense honestly!

I always figured S&B would have a sealed off treasure/tool cache that Beth could access, like a bag of holding or a video game inventory. Who has which half is pretty clear. I drew this picture of inside Shermy's head as a joke to share on Slack, I'm happy it made it in

casper and nova being astrid’s ocs based on simon’s stories of his archaeological expeditions with betty is great actually, ties back into the original premise of fionna and cake being a fanfic book series and adds an extra layer to the story ending in tragedy by simon’s hand (also simon bonding with kids is always great :))

I wanna go a bit full-circle with a post I did right after the first two episodes of ‘Fionna and Cake’ dropped - about the nature of Simon Petrikov’s sense of identity. And more specifically, with how his titular episode centered around the ways his deteriorating mental state and the new context of his life has really torn away at everything Simon used to define himself as. 
Tumblr media
Because Simon Petrikov used to be a lot of things. He was an antiquarian and an archaeologist, a man deeply fascinated by the concept of Magic and the supernatural in a mundane world that ridiculed him for it at every turn, an adventurous outdoorsman, and a deeply caring and fatherly man.
But when we meet him at the start of “Simon Petrikov”, he has lost all the passion for his job - especially as he now has to perform it basically as a living museum exhibit. He is now stuck in a word filled with Magic and feels like the only mundane thing in it. He is unable to handle the sort of dangers you would find in an Oooian camping trip. And he made a little girl cry.

And there’s one more thing Simon used to define his identity as, and that is the one he ended up clinging to more than anything in that one episode, even though it was just as decimated as every other facet of his old identity, and the one that ends up jump-starting the plot. And that is being Betty Grof’s other half.
Tumblr media
So now, looking back at this second episode at the end of the series, it really feels appropriate that throughout his adventures Simon managed to rediscover these old elements of his personality, that all these aspects of his identity managed to get reinforced and validated…
For most of the series he was basically doing his old job again - travelling around, trying to discover and uncover an ancient artifact.
Tumblr media
And you can really see how he regains his excitement for research. 
Tumblr media
And by the end of the show, he ends up really rediscovering a passion for his work (and also realized that this Living Museum Exhibit set-up is not conducive for his mental health, which is also a step in the right direction).
Tumblr media
 
And he gets to show-off his understanding of Magic
Tumblr media
And by the end of the show, Simon doesn’t feel like such an outsider in Ooo anymore. Probably helped by the fact his cellphone connection with Fionna gives him that little connection to 'normalcy' he was missing.
Tumblr media
And he got to go on an adventure again, and handle it better than his Camping Trip Funtimes with Finn. Probably because he was around Adventure Novices Fionna and Cake, who were a bit closer to his ‘level’ than a crazy-seasoned adventurer like Finn
Tumblr media
And by the end of the show, you can see him seeking thrills on his own terms.
Tumblr media
And his ability be kind and fatherly and comforting was validated both by his constant interactions with Fionna - who isn’t a child, but is still a younger person who often needed his emotional support
Tumblr media
And also by a very grim reminder of how truly important he was for Marcy.
Tumblr media
And by the end of the show, he has managed to make a connection with Astrid, despite them starting out on such a sour note.
Tumblr media
But 'Simon Petrikov, Betty Grof's beloved'? That aspect of himself did get some validation, via him getting to share their love story with Fionna
Tumblr media
But it was not entirely validated, was it? That was the one aspect of himself that was actually challenged - the one part of himself was clinging to like a lifeline when he felt like he was falling apart, that was the one part of himself that he had to both recontextualize in his head and eventually realized he had to finally let go off…

ok but actually it was so funny when simon was like "I wonder what life would have been like if I never found the crown, if I had put aside my passion for looking for highly cursed ancient artifacts" girl you and betty would have both died at war.
