If simon went to the bus with betty, he wouldn't have found the crown, he would probably live a happy life with betty but eventually die with her because of the mushroom bomb, and he doesn't have the crown to protect himself or betty (at least he got to live with betty), marceline wouldn't be raised by simon so she becomes evil and doesn't kill the vampires, human race goes extinct because of the vampires, finn isn't born (which is a really important thing because he is the embodiment of good), the lich emerges and without anyone to stop him he succeeds. Simon is a catalyst comet.

Hello! I'm just a stranger on the internet, so I doubt I can provide some insight that will genuinely help, but I'd love to at least try! Truth is, there's nothing specific that we're heading towards in life. I think trying to find that 'big thing' will only drive us mad. We live to survive, to see tomorrow, but we forget that now is more important. Sometimes when I feel like I'm in a cycle, I stop to think about now. Sometimes I'd go outside just to watch the stars, Sometimes I'd stare at the clouds or appreciate the pond a bit more. Sometimes I concentrate on the feeling of my clothes and my babygirl's purring. Sometimes I just experience a little harder in the present, and it feels good. There will be times where you're stepping towards something big. Then there will be times where there's nothing happening before the next big thing happens. But what's really neat, is feeling the moment, and appreciating what's so easily ignored nowadays. It's corny, yes. But I love those moments of clarity, stepping towards nothing so i find myself wanting to experience everything

Or that Betty became Golb. This story just revealed the truth of their relationship. Simon and Betty were no longer an actual thing long ago. They both made their decisions and had to live with it. They both decided that their dreams were more important at the time than each other. This isn't to say that they didn't love or still love each other, but that in reality, sometimes people you love become "somebody you used to know." And you move on from that.

so you were trapped having to watch your identity fade and go insane for a thousand years, your one true love, who you once thought was gone returning and sacrificing herself to bring you back to sanity. You devoted years of your life into studying how to bring her back, turning it into an obsession, finally coming face to face with her only to realise you stopped her from her fully potential, yet she still followed you unwaveringly. seems like a normal tuesday to me

A beloved parental figure who is able to move on from his grief thanks to the friends and family that they made along the way as well as saving the world multiple times with their kindness and being able to see to see past their mistakes and be able to find new life even in an unfamiliar world sounds like a wild adventure with a good cathartic ending. Keep your chin up, buddy. Your just starting your arc.

Simon is more relatable then anyone will ever know I hate how relatable he is I wish I could erase the past and have my family back but even if I did not much would have changed just my relationship with my brother unless it would have stayed the same regardless I posted this video on Facebook saying all my trauma out loud finally telling everyone how I felt and saying this video describes how I feel then a family member I met 2 years ago shes my stepmom tho I hate the word mother or mom so I call her laura said to take it down that you don't need to put all your emotions out on Facebook for the world to see all I could think was if you knew the pain the loss the hurt I endored almost offing my self from the hate I received when I was younger cause of the beatings being told I was worse then the dirt on my moms shoes worse then the dirt on her shoes worse then the worms in the dirt things like that stick with you when she died whom she was actually my grandma who raised me I dremped she apoligised and said she was sorry for everything and that she loved me and hugged me and then I said I love you too that's all I ever wanted then a 3 years later my family who took me in broke there contract of privacy and told on them selfs trying to get me in trouble I was sharing no no photos with my boyfriend at the time whom I loved I told them they could watched 123movies on my laptop and instead they looked in my files and tried telling on me but I didn't know so my case workers asked them if they asked me or if I knew they said no so I was told by my case worker I had to leave and I could not stay i said but i want too their my family!!! please don't make me move they said you have too so i was heartbroken and told them i was not made and that i wanted to stay but the caseworkers said i had to leave then i moved in with my mom for a year she was horrible she was just like my mom i mean... grandma i hate the both of them for being so awful i was both of their unpaid maid and the difference is my mom also wanted money from me and worse i got sexually asulted by a random mover who i thought was kinda cute but turned out to just be a one night stand person btw it was orally cause i said no to sex with him and on top of that mom forced me to go to kongfu and she said i was not allowed to date i was 25 when this happened i am 26 now she quote on quote called the cops on my so i ran away and my next boyfriend/last boyfriend said i could stay with him i talked to his parents about everything and then i stayed with them for 2 weeks found a room for went twice then after 11 months of dating my boyfriend zach he proposed and then 2 months later got married and i was the happest i have ever been then i 3 months after getting married had a baby and btw not counting the sexual asult that happed earlier that year i actually married my husband as a vergin both of us it made me happy and i had my cute baby four months ago 3 months ago the cops told me the guy who did the oral thing got arriasted i had never had that happen before but to be honest it was no worse then being beaten every day of my life until nineteen i am glad my husband was and is the sweetest to me i feel so sad over everything i tell my husband a lot i wish i could forget everything from my past then i wouldn't be sad but zach always says i love you and I'll never leave you no matter what and i once even said you promise he said yes i promise even with all your baggage your stuck with me which made me cry tears of joy the sad thing is my brother is gone as in he does not want to talk to me my sister on nana and papas side of the family told me they were planing on replacing me anyways and that they really did just want me for money i asked nana do u love me and she said of course i felt like jesus when he got kissed but was being betrayed i have been stabbed in the back so much it breaks my heart and yet i still smile people look at me like i am strange cause i am kind and i compliment a lot and i am super nice but ik what it is like to be hated by literally your own flesh and blood all i have is my dad who i met 2 years ago for the first time and his wife i am unsure if my sisters trust me they always look so straight faced and ik they care its just they aren't like me and my brother David was on top of that all i got other then my dad and laura is my brother eddie he is also going threw stuff including abandonment he and his girl went threw things but one thing he said that hit home is that he needs hugs and affection and i hugged my brother and said i understand how you feel and i am sorry bro your going thru this. even tho i have my husband and baby its hard to get thru so much trauma and ik things will be better but until then i am trying me best. just remember you maybe the worst to some but your the best to others and if life is gonna be hell maybe those that care about you now is your little slice of heaven here on earth. one last thing simon even tho he does not exist is my best friend he is helping see my trama and an outlet for letting me give myself the advice i'd give to someone else and honestly its help God bless you guys and thank you who uploaded this video i watch it every day nonstop constantly on loop for a while each day then i listen to relaxing Nintendo music but finboror your video has helped me see the hurt and it kinda heals me its bitter sweet when i see simon with better he reminds me of me and zach as the now instead of what was and the pain he feels as my past and pain i love you and everyone in your comment section and everyone in this world even my enemies at least i can say my life was never boring heh oh well what can you do I am happy anyways i like to count my blessings along with the pain i carry on my shoulder kinda like a cross it hurts but were not of this world right so i guess its ok this pain is not forever their is no pain or sadness in heaven thank you Jesus for this life it was horrible at the beginning and now its super sweet and honestly as much as my past sucked if i did not happen the way it happened i would never had met zach and had my wonderful beautiful baby and God Jesus christ is beautiful too (smiles)

Who would have knew Simon AKA the OG ice king would have been my most favorite character in adventure time even know because of his backstory goes so far back and it’s so deep. Like he literally has seen so much shit bro. I could understand why he would feel out of place and having an existential crisis.

I regret not watching Adventure Time more as a kid, I have watched it since, but I feel like there is something I can relate to Ice King in this; he spent years in a sort of malaise of understanding for what he was doing, and when he got back he immediately lost everything he had all over again. Hearing about this show as a kid feels a bit like that state of semi-awareness of what's going on and wanting to connect these things to stuff you can relate to and understand with those around you, but just when you realize it's there, it's gone. And now you're simply watching the stones melt away in the rain as everyone else remembers them being lay. And here you are hearing about the time it all began from a third party. Great video btw
