My heart melts a little every time Finn calls Ice King ‘Simon’. Finn usually calls him ‘Ice King’, especially when Ice King’s being a nuisance or just, well, acting like Ice King. But when Finn’s more gentle or sympathetic to him, he’ll call him ‘Simon’. Of course, it doesn’t matter to Ice King because that name doesn’t mean anything to him, but it’s Finn’s little way of connecting with Simon, to connect with the part of him that’s still human.

okay so I loved King’s Ransom and the fact that it seems that Betty finally found a way to heal Simon through the crown apparently?? but I am extremely worried about Betty, if that’s the case
well I mean, she doesn’t seem insane, at least not entirely. which makes sense, considering that Simon took a very long time to fully lose his sanity himself, and Betty gained her magic powers not long ago
but it does make me worried that she might have been focusing so much on healing Simon, that she forgot about trying to find a way to heal herself, once this is all over (since she needs to wait, as she apparently can work better with magic through having it herself, instead of only studying it from afar)
and what scares me is that this might end up with some fucked up circle: Betty saves Simon > sacrifices herself in the process > Simon, now healed, realized what she did for him and sets up to save her instead > sacrifices himself in the process
and either repeat it or end it there
either way is fucked up and I’m worried
