I find myself relating to her a lot and seeing myself in her. While watching Adventure Time, I noticed her growth and character development. I noticed that in the later parts of the series where she starts to be more calm and be able to control her emotions more, I realized that it’s a part of growth and being human. You live and you learn. Making mistakes isn’t the only way to learn. Sometimes, you just get spontaneous realizations that help you become a better person. Feel better about yourself and be able to let go of the past and forgive yourself and forgive others too. Flame princess never ended up with a romantic partner. She dated Finn for a while but it didn’t work out. At first, when she and Cinnamon Bun started hanging out a lot, I thought they were going to end up dating or become a couple. They didn’t. They became a team. I appreciate Adventure Time for showing me and making me realize that not every partner has to be your spouse, not every soulmate is your significant other, and not every person that you click with is a sweetheart. The story of Flame princess was able to show me and help me realize that life isn’t about earning people, it’s about finding the right ones you connect with. Finding the people that help you grow and spread your wings. The bees in the garden that help your flowers pollinate At first, I thought Flame princess only had one purpose in the show. Which is to be Finn’s girlfriend. I love how adventure time made it clear that even if Flame princess didn’t have a lot of screentime, being Finn’s girlfriend isn’t the reason why she’s in the show. She has a lot about her that the show doesn’t show on screen but they do imply. I have a rant that I typed out when i just watched the show and im gonna include in this post. its the paragraphs bellow this paragraph Flame Princess I relate to her so much. The first time I saw her, I remember being happy that I could relate to a character. I mostly see myself in her. I saw myself in Flame Princess because I noticed her outbursts and how she can’t control her emotions. I think I’m the same. I can’t really control my emotions well either. When I saw her character development in the series, I don’t remember if it was what hit me or motivated me to do better, or if I just saw myself being like that and felt safe or at least felt more “normal.” I don’t know how to put it into words, but knowing that I’m not the only one who feels like my emotions are controlling me more than I’m controlling them, that’s when I realized I’m not… weird? I don’t want to say different because that sounds freaky. It’s more like… seeing Flame Princess’ character gave me comfort and a sense of belonging. I’m not the best at sharing how I feel or how my mind works, but Flame Princess was able to portray it neatly. I guess it’s not the most accurate description, but it was what gave me comfort and made me feel that there’s still room for growth. I’ve always thought that everyone grows emotionally at some point, and to be honest, it’s one of my goals to be the best version of myself. I think out of all the characters in Adventure Time, Flame Princess is the one who got the best character development, and that’s what I like most about her. The way I see her is that she doesn’t always know what she does wrong, but when she realizes it, or when someone tells her, she tries her best to do better next time. She wants to get rid of her bad habits and become the best version of herself. When she and Cinnamon Bun became besties, I was so happy because not only did she gain an actual best friend, she also had someone to grow with. A soulmate? She isn’t the type of person to think that she needs to be in a romantic setup to feel complete. She didn’t need a soulmate. She had herself, her heart, and her compassion. Cinnamon Bun appearing in her life was one of the best things that happened in the series when Flame Princess was on screen. You can see how gentle she is, and you can see how much she loves Cinnamon Bun. There’s no chemistry, there’s no attraction just pure connection and the desire to grow together emotionally. That’s why I relate to her so much. There’s no need to rush things, but there is a need to improve things. Things take time and effort. They don’t just appear like that. Sometimes, you just have to work on it and wait.
