stuff i remember about the qsmp before purgatory? (not in chronological order)
-> Spreen singing an apology song to Wilbur to which the latter flees because the former said "disputa" (it was probably the first thing I reblogged about it)
-> QUACKITEEEEEEE! WILBURRRRRRR!
-> Wilbur adopting Tallulah for the first time. I remember them picking names together- He thought about calling her "Sacapuntas", she mentioned how her favorite word was "Wednesday" and how "Tallulah" sounded like a pretty musical note.
-> Roier and Vegetta pulling up to a strip club and poledancing and doing sus stuff (as part of a plan to get Quackity to drop some huge stuff while drunk)
-> "All the eggs are going to die" or smth idk
-> Slime going on a killing spree targeting all the eggs and trying to brute-force his way into Chayanne's room
-> Philza, Chayanne and Tallulah encounter the Nightmare Stalker resulting in the biggest angst of the week
-> Cellbit coming to the qsmp and then slowly starting a feud with cucurucho
-> Cucurucho attacking Cellbit with a chainsaw
-> Slimecicle's trial for Juanaflippa's revival
-> Forever coming up and then immediately latching on to Philza and demanding that the poor birdman be his sugar daddy and then saying some line that spawned the whole yandere!forever whump phase
-> That one pic of 4halo
-> Quackity starting a school for the eggs with the intention of eliminating them (and then wanting to talk to Tallulah afterclass and Chayanne obviously protecting her)
-> Tallulah and Chayanne coming back home bruised, and then Quackity coming to Philza's home and begging him to hand over Tallulah
-> Something about Jaiden and Bobby venturing out and finding a space ship
-> Bobby dying
-> Jaiden giving Cucurucho orange juice(?)
-> Cellbit going on a whole ass villain arc where he betrayed his friends and family to get to the bottom of the federation
-> The Guapoduo wedding
-> When Cellbit confirmed he was a neko who would meow when he was nervous (i think?)
-> Roier threatening Wilbur by telling him he was gonna come to his house and kiss him
-> When it was confirmed that Jack was supposed to be invited to the QSMP (I still have some ideas about him brooo)
-> Hatsune Soot/Wilbur Miku/Miku Wilbur
-> Quackity making wedding preparations for him and Wilbur
-> Elquackity watching a kid (egg a1) jump into lava and die
-> Forever threatening to stab Leonarda
-> Philza vs the code eggs
-> Tallulah's first death (which if you didn't know slightly parallels Wilbur's death in the dsmp)

I. NEED HELP--
YOU ARE A VERY GOOD ARTIST WHO HAS DRAWN MARK MANY TIMES. HOW DO YOU DRAW HIS HAIR
I've been trying for SO LONG but I just can't??? Why's it built like that
Okay, look, I got very excited on making a tutorial that this kinda got,,, long. I promise I tried to make it succinct. I rlly hope this helps!!! I included how to draw him Mask On, How I Do IT, and The Canon Way.
Yeah, uh, I went a little ham. This was very fun, though. I like his character a totally normal amount (<- lies, I only draw this mf.)

Not to assign cartoon characters mental illnesses like some sort of Youtube Clickbaiter, but the way Simon is treated in Fionna and Cake feels specifically reminiscent of how our society is hypocritical about bipolar/manic depressive people.
I don't think this is controversial to say, but in the original Adventure Time Simon-as-Ice-King just felt like a general mental illness allegory. Not to say it was executed perfectly, since again it was a generalized allegory and often focused on the people around Simon VS him, but it did manage to cover a fair amount of nuances: acknowledging when Ice King's behavior was a reflection of the mental illness Crown and not Simon; the conflicting dynamic of growing up with a mentally ill Magically Cursed parental figure; Treat People Who Are Mentally Ill Cursed As People.
But in Fionna and Cake where Simon isn't Ice King anymore? And everyone is going on about how cooler and more fun and more creative Ice King was compared to Simon? It just seems like the fantasy equivalent to people fetishizing manic depression in creatives and saying stuff like "The pills will kill your creativity" and "What if Van Gogh wasn't depressed, wouldn't his art be so much worse?"
And in the show we see Simon internalize all these comments! Over and over again people are saying he's pathetic as Simon and can't do anything special as Simon, unlike Ice King. So between all of that and his own warped nostalgia of the past, he uses the slimmest opportunity to volunteer to be Ice King again, even if it hurts him!
The worst part is we know that rn Simon is damned either way. Depressed as Simon, the people of Ooo avoid him and don't try to connect with him, and he is too afraid of being a burden and reaching out to Marcy for help. And if he relapses turns fully back into Ice King? They'll treat him like a party toy for a while before discarding him when he gets "too crazy" and the novelty wears off, and he'll probably lose his only support network.
That being said at this point (Episode 4) it's hard to tell which direction all of this will go. Tom Kenny has mentioned how this show features the most emotional VA work he's ever done, so it's fair to say that whatever happens next in the series with Simon will be intense and even heavier than it already has been.
