ADVENTURE TIME 9X18 BUBBLEGYM SERIES

In The Legend of Korra’s final episode, for example, Korra and her friend Asami come close to sharing a kiss. But Adventure Time started several years before other cartoons openly embraced non-heterosexual partnerships. Their connection - romantic connection - became less obscure as time wore on, and fans pined for a legitimate “Bubbleline” romance. Things started getting real once Princess Bubblegum revealed she still owned Marceline’s old shirt, from back in the good ol’ days. They were former best friends, and their feelings for each other may have been stronger than they could admit. It was a realization intertwined, and its true beginnings began off-screen Marceline and Bubblegum, as fans slowly picked up on, were more than just old friends who’d parted ways.

Over 10 seasons, Marceline the Vampire Queen and Princess Bubblegum of Ooo grew from prickly women with no patience for relationships into a pair that admitted a need for balance. Yet Marceline and Bubblegum’s romance extended beyond the threat against the kingdom. Romance is energizing, especially during the anxiety of wartime. With a vulnerable exchange and a hug, the women landed where many fans always hoped they would: They kissed, their love for each other finally cemented.

In an intense moment during the cartoon’s final battle, Marceline the Vampire Queen and Princess Bubblegum of Ooo found time to confront each other.
