    I feel like princess bubblegum wanted him to have a harsh punishment because she didn't like being challenged for her authority/rule.
    Looking more into this makes it so much more sad. Jake understood his good intentions.

      It's also pretty messed up that she would make a candy orphanage that is sad most of the time and relies on her for happiness..she creates all the candy people herself..she set-up every aspect of candy society herself..what kind of Satanist is she to create children specifically to fill a role of suffering that inly she can, sparingly, bring happiness to.

      Considering how mad she gets when she gets voted out and replaced by the King of Ooo, and seeing what she does to the kingdom and her subjects in the future (as seen in that one Graybles episode) thats a pretty safe bet, she’s an all powerful dictator with a genius intellect, elemental powers, and a fragile ego.

    this episode really made me question gendered titles like Prince and Princess as a kid. Princess Cookie's reasoning for wanting to be a Princess and not a Prince made sense to me. It's funny, looking back I remember the ending scene and how it made me feel. I was just so happy for him.

    As a trans person I know what it’s like to feel that my identity is rejected by those around me. I relate so much to princess cookie as I know what it’s like to be laughed at for not conforming to expectations that society forced upon me. Boys, girls, or anyone else should not be forced into a box to please those around them. Cookie is and forever will be a princess in my eyes it doesn’t matter where he came from or what he is, he is a princess as I am a boy.

      No. It was never a trans allegory. Saying so would push down so many others that have similar experiences and cishet people. Cookie wasn't meant to be an allegory to trans people only.
      He was meant to be a character that made you sad because his dreams were crushed and he broke. He made you sympathetic and made you wish for a happy ending. If it was a trans allegory then he would change cookie type or some crap like that.

      .....I'm sorry did we watch the right episode? Cause i see it as how a person can take something simple and understandable and treat it like a massive insult, and treat that as a reason to do awful stuff, and than saying there "trauma" to get help from others. Princess bubblegum did nothing wrong other than find a small sweet child wishing to be like her cute, which like, who tf wouldn't!? And she was right to imprison him! Sure he did it cause he was sad, but that's mo excuse to kidnap and hold multiple people hostage and threaten there lives just for a crown, and than afterward, try to flee from arrest! Baby snaps to me isn't as tragic as everyone thinks, the saddest part of his Backstory was that he was In a depressingly boring orphanage but that's it. None of that being an excuse for what he did.

      @MakuO0o a. From how many people there are, the relationships, and the fact there are flat out parents with kids, it's clear she didn't create every single one of them so I still think she didn't directly make him like this. B. I will admit a life sentence was a bit harsh, but he 100% deserves a jail/dungeon sentence for attempted murder and assault with a deadly weapon, and kidnapping. C. Yes while perspective is important, it's not an excuse. Someone could have "thought" someone talked shit about them and than shot there freind in the arm for it. But their thought was wrong and what they did was fucked up so it shouldn't act as an excuse. Tho i will admit calling him just sad was too harsh mb. But still he should not be treated like some tragic character to aspire to see get happiness! I'm also glad he DID get his happiness, but I'm happy for it because he got a near death punishment and basically arrested and sent to a asylum. I like that cause he isn't excused. He still served time and was sent to an asylum which was deserved in my eyes. He's a tragic character, but the type that still deserves a at least semi strong punishment. At least in my eyes.

      Personally i think that stuff makes it perfect. If there were no flaws, no imperfections and it was all perfect sunshine and rainbows, I'd get boring and apathetic in a hurry and could push people to wondering why they live to begin with. Order with no chaos is dull and lifeless. Is it sad that there's areas like orphanages & crime areas? Yes there is, but they're necessary to keep the kingdom from turning into the actual good place from the show the good place.

      You'll notice throughout the show's running, there are some pretty bad ends and abandoned areas of the Candy Kingdom. Now, whether she let her priorities, other events in the Candy Kingdom's history or the expansion of the kingdom made it that way that she or her citizens just forgot about some of the bad parts. Or like someone else said, maybe it's to make those who live in those areas feel better when ever she comes around. But, as the show does detail, she is quite busy at times with invasions, quests of her own, helping out friends, science experiments etc.

    I like how Jake just shoved Fin off as soon as Fin waffled as to whether or not to help. He didn't betray Fin or doubt Fin's ability to understand. He just didn't spare time or interest in letting even a respected friend disrupt his humane decision.
    People tend to praise Jake for being so chill, but what makes Jake such a great character is the emotional maturity he exudes and his ability to live in the moment. He is very rarely in doubt of himself, worried about the future, or concerned with other people's lives in any non-empathetic way.

      He a little bit like uncle Iroh, his early life was a literal gang boss, had a terrible temper/ ver competitive, and just a full on criminal. But I'm guessing as Finn grew up Jake started realizing and understanding family values, cherish the ones you love with the limited time we have. So he became sorta zen by living in the moment and following his heart. Now I say a little like Iroh only because Jake still does make a lot of bad/bad hearted decisions. But that's part of life, nothing is pure.

Both of their aspirations were met with some form of denial by PB. But by the end of the episode, they both ended up becoming what they wanted to. Jake approaches Princess Cookie as a mailman. And Princess Cookie stands before him as a princess. Despite what PB said, they both received rolls that they wanted to.

    I don't hate PB entirely. Sure, she has plenty of shitty moments but a lot of Adventure Time characters have those, even Finn in that one episode where he tricks Flame Princess into hurting Simon/Ice King because of, um, "wet dreams" (This show is weird-). I can't even be that mad at her here. She probably just laughed because she thought it was cute Cookie looked up to her in that way. She probably would've made him a little crown if he really wanted one. Maybe not her crown, but at least something similar. I just can't excuse the fact that he resorted to kidnapping to get his way. Regardless of how you feel about PB, that wasn't excusable.

If he had told her how her laughing at his dream affected him, then maybe she could've apologized and explained the real reason she laughed. She could've told him that she only giggled because he thought he was cute and sweet and maybe add that if what he wants is to spread joy then he can do that with or without a crown.

Because it’s their idol they take the response at a much deeper level than what it truly is. Becoming obsessed. In proving them wrong or wanting hurt their hero like they hurt. Even though it’s just a simple dismissal. The only thing that mattered was their own perspective. It was their own perspective that made them into such a monster.
    Princess cookie is just a fractured mirror of his idol princess bubblegum. Flaws and all. Loosing Track of why he wanted to be a princess. To bring order and joy and hope to such a dark place to be adored and have his own presence light up a room.
    He got his wish except unlike pb princess cookie never found that person that made her see her flaws. Just a world that called him crazy.

  • @Yipper64

    Cookie is an interesting character. Mainly, he wanted something he couldnt have, for the right reasons, but the concept of what he wanted isnt logical. He *cant* be a princess, on account of being, yaknow, a boy. I suppose he could be a prince or king, but he'd have to marry into royalty or start his own kingdom.
    But that isnt actually what he wanted, because he never wanted to be a princess, he wanted to be a leader, and someone who others can rely on. And he doesnt need to be a princess to do that. Sadly he couldnt understand that, for whatever reason. Which honestly makes the ending for this character rather tragic. Only the *idea* of the dreams coming true, but, its all false. Only due to the fact the people around him where not sound of mind did he get validation for what is effectively, just a flower.

Bringing joy to people like she did to him and the other orphans that day. Princess Bubblegum could have had any title and Cookie would have wanted to be that. To him, all princess means is being able to bring happiness and spread joy to others. So when PB laughed at him that day, he took it as her laughing at his dream of bringing joy to others, not just being a princess.

    See the issue here is that people are completely willing to gloss over the fact that Cookie was *hurting people*.
    Cookie ostensibly wanted to be a Princess to make people happy, but was perfectly willing to put complete innocents at risk to get that.
    It’s a full on SWAT team hostage negotiation situation, and Cookie *openly has a club*.
    Of course they can’t just let Cookie leave? Think about how that would work in real life. A guy holds a bunch of people hostage and beats them with a club because he wants to be president and will only let them go if the title is handed over to him. He’s then convinced he can get what he wants by being the ruler of another place…but this is again only after holding and apparently injuring hostages.

    so obvi im super biased as a trans guy but like Princess Cookie is definetly a trans aligory (at least in most parts), like i could definetly see princess cookie as wating to be a drag queen or trans women. The biggest thing for me is that this lil orphan dude wanted to become a princess, which is basically held as the quintessential feminine roll, and an authority figure laughed at him. when you bare out a personal aspect of yourself, like revealing that you want to be more feminine or masculine, and someone treats it as a joking matter you take that shit to heart! like i had SO many teachers tell me i could be anything i want when i grew up just for them to immediately tell me "actually, thats more of a man's job..." & tbh thats probably something a lot of trans peeps deal with. Another major aspect for me is that Cookie drops their old name and matures into Princess Cookie, which wasnt even something i realized until I heard it in this vid.
