We see them kiss, sleep in bed together, and even explore their long-alluded to break-up. Marceline and Bubblegum’s relationship is at their most romantic, because for once, they don’t have to put up with network demands. Let’s get into the good stuff first: like BMO, the best aspect of this special is our returning players. I’d say it does its job at connecting everything on a decent level, but there are definitely some bits that work better than others. It’s a lot to take in, but most of it is tied together in a relatively satisfying way. Obsidian brings a lot to the table: an entirely new kingdom with new characters, a conflict in said kingdom, struggles within Marceline and Bubblegum’s relationship, Marcy’s relationship with her mother, a self-esteem allegory that spans across three separate characters, Bubblegum’s inferiority complex that mirrors See-Through Princess’s… etc. It’s jam packed with all kinds of moments that AT fans can revel in… in fact, it’s jam packed in general. It’s fanservice alright, but GOOD fanservice at that. However, it actually feels somewhat warranted for a couple whose entire romantic history was left to implications and Easter eggs for so many years. Obsidian ends up presenting their relationship in the same way that previous incarnations have – by giving the fans what they want. I had been pretty burnt out with their ship by the end of the series, and I wasn’t really craving much more between these two as a package deal. I’ve stated how I feel about Bubbline at least 30 times on this blog prior, but for the sake of sounding redundant, here we go once more: I don’t actively dislike their relationship, but was kind of bummed by how oversaturated it was in the show to the point of it being the driving force of including Marceline in stories. When the Distant Lands episodes were first announced, Obsidian was the one that I was looking forward to the least. Well, this was a long time coming, huh? It’s Bubbline time, babies!! Nyström, Anna Syvertsson, Iggy Craig, Mickey Quinn, Maya Petersen, James Cambell & Ashlyn Anstee And that's not to say that Link is a trans character, but I think he is a very important avatar for people to see themselves in that discovery process.Original Airdate: NovemWritten & Storyboarded by: Hanna K.
And going back to the gender discussion, I think people that sort of discovery within the game can mirror the discovery you're sort of seeing in yourself the progression of this character.įor a lot of transgender people that I've read about seeing that, seeing Link's progression, you know, throughout the game mirrors how they feel in their transition - to their transition. And if you've played Zelda, or any game, I think you'll realize discovering new things is like the main part of the game, right? If you're discovering secret passageways, you're riding a horse, which is my personal favorite part.īut that sense of discovery, I think, is really important. Yes, so one of the gaming developers, Shigeru Miyamoto, who also created Super Mario Brothers, like you said, he was inspired by his childhood in Kyoto, Japan, exploring the forests to create this sort of game.

And I think that's why it is such an important part of the LGBTQ plus gaming community. I've read several reports of people who have gone through that journey themselves playing.
And for someone maybe who doesn't know what gender they want to represent themselves as that can be a journey as well for them. And that's really important to the LGBTQ plus gaming community. So you can get all these sorts of head dresses and tunics and things like that, and really create the character that you want to see. And the way Link sort of avatar has evolved over the years is become much more customizable. So you are projecting how you see yourself onto this character. So the idea is that Link is this sort of silent character, right, he never speaks in any of the games, actually. But even the name Link is meant to represent a link between the player and the game. Now, of course, Link has he him pronouns in the game. So the games developers actually did say in an interview that they didn't want Link to be perceived as either a boy or a girl.
