i was thinking about fionna and cake’s version of jermaine, and drew her this morning!! i posted her to r/adventuretime and she didn’t do too bad there, so i started writing stuff for fionna and cake world lol more headcanons below the cut :)

i originally posted her under the name “jasmeen” but i think corrine would be better suited for the sibling alliteration with cake :) huge thanks to some of the users in the reddit comments who helped brainstorm some of this!! lemme know what u think lol

fionna was adopted at birth by a (human) couple, cynthia and marlowe. cynthia works in the city’s forensics department and they both own a funeral home/cemetery. they have big hearts, and have a hard time charging folks for caskets and burials. they owned two cats, corrine and cake, and fionna took cake with her when she moved out, leaving corrine at her (now elderly and retired) parents place. if corrine could walk and talk like cake in this world, she’d be running the funeral home and going after people for the money they owe her elderly parents. it’s shitty work and they aren’t hurting for money, but things in this life aren’t free, right? her true passion is sculpture, and eventually she learns to let the debts go and focus on her work.

fionna’s biological parents, milton campbell and mallory mertins, had a nice relationship in the beginning. but when mallory gave birth to fionna, she disappeared from the city with her. having always struggled with her mental health, mallory’s post-partum depression became post-partum psychosis and she left fionna at a safe surrender site in her daze. her psychosis spiraled and she was sent to prison before escaping into homelessness. milton died not long after their disappearance, after serving as a nurse for his entire career and saving thousands of lives. he even had a newly built hospital named after him after his death.

gary prince was on his own at a very early age, leaving the abusive home of his aunt georgia, uncle larry, and cousin chantal. georgia goes on and on about all the wonderful things she was meant to accomplish if she didn’t have to take in gary and his sister, and chantal goes along with it all. larry at least is sympathetic and sends money to them when he can. as a result, most of the money gary makes goes towards taking care of his special needs sister, nadine.

marshall lee was extremely close with his father, elijah, before he died. elijah wanted nothing to do with hana’s money or work, and raised their son in a small home in the forest. marshall grew up knowing how to rough it in the outdoors, before his mother took him away from that life and into a stuffy, proper one. she sold the house he grew up in and he never forgave her.

flora never knew where she came from. her favorite activity is catfishing dudes online. she hates her appearance, and feels like she’ll never truly know who she really is. after the events of the show fionna and cake, she learns all she can about fionna by stalking her online. she adopts fionna’s backstory as her own, and even commits a few instances of identity theft against her. this torments her and she hates doing it, but feels like she has no other choice. her and fionna look strikingly similar, and it has made her actually start to appreciate her own appearance and feel whole for once.

phoenix fleming hates his mother, she’s a big preacher in the local church and raised him as strictly as possible. he was barely allowed to leave the house until he moved out as soon as possible, and discovered his love for raves and DJing. he now devotes all his time to being dj flame, and his mother refuses to let him be. his next door neighbor, miss bundy, is kinder to him than his own mother ever was, and brings him treats every day.

joshua > cynthia

margaret > marlowe

minerva > milton

martin > mallory

gumbald > georgia

lolly > larry

chicle > chantel

neddy > nadine

elise > elijah

phoebe/flame princess > phoenix

cinnamon bun > miss bundy

interdimensional familial relationships

#adventure time #fionna and cake #fionna campbell #finn mertens #sometimes you’re just a lil buy being raised by your own son a female version of yourself and a sentient tank #also i’m still not over how martin got to be a good dad for like 5 seconds before getting killed 😭 #thats her dad kinda!!!! and she doesn’t even know #i am deeply curious how the fem!martin situation is though. and male!minerva also #boy* dammit

[drifting-andromeda]

The way Adventure Time writes relationships is so realistic but also so, so tragic. Like, Betty and Simon were deeply in love, they'd do anything for each other, but 'doing anything' for each other manifests in self destructive behavior in the attempt to help the other.

Martin and Minerva worked so well together. Martin wanted to become a genuinely better person after Min bailed him out their first meeting. He tried so hard! To become a completely different person, to change his ways for Minerva and then later Finn who he so obviously cared about as an infant. Then when his past catches up to him it all falls apart. They loose their son and he looses his character development. He starts running away, Minerva gets sick and starts trying to keep living to help everyone else. No one has the full story of what happened between them.

There re so many other examples, like Marceline and Simon, Bonnie and Marceline. How Jake's death affected both Prismo and Finn, it's just ARGH I love this show so much

kind of crazy how both of finn’s parents ultimate choice when faced with death or continuing to live they chose “another mode of existence” instead.

for martin i can imagine he knew he’d spend the rest of his life running if he was allowed to, its a choice that doesn’t kill him but continues on the path he was on anyways

minerva when faced with death just saw it as not an option. she just wasnt going to let herself disappear because there were still things she needed to do, making herself into robot even if it meant losing her body… in a weird way it sets her on the path to living forever

and u know what. instead of settling down to rest in death, finn also followed in their footsteps. just looking for another way to exist

love the mertens a lot they are oh so desperately driven by the desire to survive n serve

Simon and Minerva is a funny ship, not many people can bond over ´´my last partner was very impulsive and thus became a being beyond human comprehension´´
