I am going to just go ahead and start off by saying this is the strangest pick I have ever made. I can’t imagine one stranger. It is odd to sexualize cartoon characters but sometimes it happens. It feels slightly wrong to do so to current cartoon characters because… they aren’t there for me, except Adventure Time is clearly in the game or trying to appeal to adults as well as kids. And it is not a show with anything resembling realistic looking characters, they are purposefully simple and crudely drawn. Yet here is Princess Bubblegum because… I have thought about posting her a million times before and end up giving up in my picture search as my brain moves on. It is hard to find good pictures to post of a character whose face is really just like two dots and a line. Yes the character herself is so complex. I think I am attracted to the subversion of the princess archetype. I have posted before about something in the collective subconscious that draws us to princesses. And I stand but that but at the same time PB is not really anything like that, she is, except for the fact that she might be evil, or at least morally flexible as she considers knowledge more important than humanity, really more likely to be the rescuer than the rescued. She is a scientist in a fantasy setting full of princesses and magical candy people. She is smart, competent, and mature. And since very early on I have found myself oddly attracted to her. I don’t have an explanation for it. I could go into a lot of stuff about her character, even if it is a feminist representation or not, how it is unique but honestly it would all feel a little like horse shit to me because the truth is… I just find her appealing and I don’t know why. I mean this whole blog is an exercise in intellectualizing lust and trying to over think things but some things even I can’t convince myself of. All I really know is today I want to fuck Princess Bubblegum.
