...Bubblegum is a Fool.



First, she created Lemongrab, for no discernible or logical reason. It was apparent to me that she had long since lost control of that horrible and worthless creature. So then she decided to give him some subjects to rule over - who he tyrannically abused as a form of "reconditioning". So then she created a SECOND Lemongrab! I mean goddamn - if you made ONE mistake, you don't go and make the SAME mistake as a form of fixing everything.



This caused Lemongrab to go crazy and mad with power, trying to overpower his other self and ruled over his subjects with an iron fist as a Tyrannical Totalitarian Dictator. And so, instead of raising an army to go in there and deal with Lemongrab once and for all, Peebles decides to free one of his prisoners, JUST because he has "Hope" in his name, and he's supposedly 'deep' because he plays the Harp. All the while turning her back on one of her long-time friends for this complete stranger! And of course this sends the already volatile Lemongrab over the edge, completely devouring the second Lemongrab and going completely crazy.



So they leave the Earldom - all the while, Bubblegum is cooing over her new little Boy-Savior, and ignoring Finn. So then she tries to educate the kid so that he'll be ready to free his people. Except one simple and tiny detail that they overlooked - This Lemonhope isn't deep or even good at all; he's just as selfish and self-involved as all the other members of his abominable race. He doesn't care that his people are living under a tyrannical dictatorship. And yet - Bubblegum keeps trying to FORCE this idealism on him, like she doesn't even realize how much of a lost cause it is!



So the kid runs away, lives in a desert for god knows how long - obviously representative of Moses after he is thrown out of Egypt. So he starts paling around with this Cloud Person; basically the Timon and Pumba of this situation. All the while he's haunted by the nightmares of his old life - and comes to the conclusion that the nightmares will end when he goes back and frees his people; not because it's the right thing to do, but so he can FINALLY stop thinking about it!



So he goes back - by some chance, he ACTUALLY defeats Lemongrab - he blows him the fuck up! BUT then, perhaps the stupidest thing that Bubblegum has EVER done in the entire series; she actually Sews Lemongrab back together!!! So he can get back to his selfish, lonely self; and probably go back to being a tyrant!

So then, after ALL of that, Finn AND Bubblegum still think Lemonhope is a good person and that he will stay to protect the Kingdom. At which point he says, "Fuck You guys - I'll see you in a 1000 years." And then she still sings a song about him.



Bubblegum has a SERIOUS God-Complex; to the point where she just randomly cuts the legs off of tiny creatures and grafts them onto other tiny creatures. Then she created this Demon Lemongrab and allows him to become a Fascist and run his kingdom of innocents into the ground - and instead of taking the responsibility to DO something about it, she instead chooses a Messiah to do her dirty-work for him. But as it turns out, her Chosen Hero is incredibly selfish who abuses his Freedom - but who can blame him, he suddenly had this HUGE responsibility thrust into him, and he was neither capable nor had the ability to do this responsibility. But by a 1000-to-One chance, he manages to succeed...And she goes onto revive the Tyrant who is the Target of this entire exercise, the goal of which has been to dethrone and destroy!



She's irresponsible, she's reckless, she does things on a whim! Not for the betterment of Science or her People - but because she chooses to! She takes away Cinnamonbun's Nightlight and it causes him to go on a rampage! And all the while, she is ignoring one of her closest and most loyal friends - who is currently going through the worst and most psychologically damaging changes of his entire life - and he's doing it All Alone! No one is helping him! If things don't change, Finn's sense of morality is going to be tragically skewed, and he's going to end up becoming a psychopath!

And plus - if she really was working for the benefit of Ooo she'd actually be helping Betty find a way to LIFT Ice-King's Curse and revert him back to his normal self. Unless she LIKES being kidnapped by him. With her supposed "Brains" she could've had this figured out by now, and is instead ignoring her problems to instead focus on a bunch of worthless and annoying Lemon People!!!
