Oh god. I actually didn't watch this episode all because the "knife to the heart, twist" episodes always get me thinking dark thoughts D:
Really frickin' tempted to now though.
Grrrr. DAMN YOU PENDLETON WARD! WHY DO YOU KNOW HOW TO YANK OUR HEARTSTRINGS OUT SO WELL?
Actually this brings up something interesting I always wondered about: why Ice King never seems to pursue Marceline at all as a potential bride (to my knowledge). There are plenty of reasons of course (she'd kick his ass, she's technically way-old for his tastes, etc.) but I guess this might contribute to that. Some part of him remembers that lost little girl.
Too bad it's buried beneath enough psychological issues to make Joker proud.
[EDIT: OK so a quick Wikipedia search indicates that Pendleton Ward was not the writer for this episode, but I kinda wanted to scream his name anyway. As far as cool names go, Pendleton Ward ranks pretty highly for me]
Founded by girl geeks and members of the slash fandom, scans_daily strives to provide an atmosphere which is LGBTQ-friendly, anti-racist, anti-ableist, woman-friendly and otherwise discrimination and harassment free.
Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
