![]() ![]() 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!!
