I have been rewaching lots of old adventure time episodes and is shocking how many times it has been sugested in the show that finn is abused in some kind of sexual way during the whole show.
The examples i can remember right now are:
Lumpy space princess forcing finn to do something more that just kissing (breezy -season 6)
Tree trunks (an OLD woman) calling finn sexy multiple times and wanting to marry him in season 2 -Cristals have power when he was just 12/13 years old.
A bunch of clown nurses forcing him to stay still so that other nurse could kiss his broken leg. Finn was screaming and trying to resist the whole time until he passed out. (Season3-My way)
A bunch of goblins forcing him to do pole dance to obtain energy. (Season 2)
A squeleton touchin his butt without his consent (season 1)
-And a moment that DOESNT REALLY BELONGS TO THIS LIST because he consented (maybe even it was his own idea) but always feelt "weird" in some way when the whole gang was trying to catch a vampire in stakes (season 7) and used finn as a bait and he acted all indefense but sexy as well for some reason? I like the scene anyways and think it was funny and finn's hair was soooo pretty but its also kind of weird that sometimes finn is sexualized in very random scenes like this one without a reason.

Adventure Time: Links Between Real Elements, Tarot, and Personality Types
In summary, these are the relationships between each element, the real life elements they respond to, and other associations:
Firstly, the parallels between the four elements in the show and the four elements in real life.
In the present day of the show, the candy elemental is Princess Bubblegum, a powerful and dominating but genius leader of the candy kingdom. The element air (in certain contexts) represents intellect, the mind, and the potential for great strength and power.
Fire is a simpler one, as the associations of the element in Adventure Time and the associations of the directly comparable real life element of fire are quite identical. Flame Princess, the present day fire elemental embodies concepts of passion, ambition, and energy. These themes are directly consistent with what fire represents outside the show.
Ice is a complicated element in Adventure Time. It's a very solid and strong material, shown constantly being used to create shields and protective domes over the magic users that create ice. Ice King creates his fortress out of ice for protection. This protective and stable representation of ice in the show links it to the real element of earth, which represents stability, resilience, and a foundation for growth and rebirth (especially relevant for the IK). The ice elemental around during the show is Patience St. Pim, who hardly appears compared to Ice King but still carries the same themes. She comes into the show out of a crystalised ice dome, and then returns at the end of her appearance. This is a cycle of rebirth, as well as evidence of stability and physical strength (of the ice dome). All linking back to what the element of earth represents.
Finally, slime in Adventure Time is shown in a relaxed and emotionally sensitive context. Slime Princess, the current slime elemental, is well known to be very affectionate towards the other characters and has a sensitive personality. The real element of water is associated heavily with emotion and other reflective concepts. The passive and liquid nature of the slime element itself shows other parallels to the element of water.
Next, the tarot parallels, which links nicely with the four elements discussed above.
Candy is the element of air, which is linked with the tarot suit of swords. Swords represent power and intelligence, and how the two must maintain a balance, with the possibility of being used for good or evil. Princess Bubblegum struggles with this balance herself as a leader of a kingdom and a science genius. Those two areas dominate her personality and the candy kingdom is founded on those two concepts.
Fire is consistently the same element, and is linked with the suit of wands. Wands represent energy, creativity, ambition, and determination. This fits in with Flame Princess and how the flame kingdom functions.
Ice is the element of earth, which in tarot is linked with the suit of pentacles. The suit of pentacles concerns physical matters, such as health and finance, as well as self-image and ego. It relates to how a person can create, alter, and transform their situation. This has strong parallels to Ice King, as he is struggling with his self-image after slowly losing his memories, and his efforts are evident in the way he shapes his surroundings trying to cope with his reality.
Slime is the element of water, linked to the tarot suit of cups. Cups represent the emotional side of life, love, and connections. Slime Princess, as mentioned before, is a very affectionate character and expresses love towards other characters quite often.
Finally, the personality parallels.
In one of Uncivilized Elk's youtube videos he discusses the links between the four AT elements and the four temperaments or personality types according to Hippocrates in ancient Greek texts. These four types were related to bodily fluids and how those affected temperaments. These temperaments and their associated personalities are as follows:
Sanguine (sociable, optimistic)
Choleric (excitable, impulsive)
Melancholic (thoughtful, moody)
Phlegmatic (peaceful, passive)
In reality, each person could be a combination of these or purely one type (being equally all four would be considered well balanced and healthy). Adventure Time takes these the extremes of those four temperaments and translates them into the four elements.
Candy, and the friendliness and outgoing nature of Princess Bubblegum, matches sanguine. It is considered an extroverted and stable temperament, consistent with how the candy element affects the citizens who get transformed into candy. Additionally, the four temperaments are each associated with an element, and sanguine is associated with air.
Fire is easily consistent with choleric, which is associated with impulsivity, energy, and aggression. This is clearly seen when the citizens and Flame Princess are transformed into the fire versions of themselves and are driven by the irresistible urge to fight. Choleric is an extroverted and unstable temperament, also associated with the fire element in real life.
Ice is depressing and slowed, consistent with the temperament melancholic. It is contemplative, passive, and accepting. When the citizens are transformed into ice (including Patience St. Pim in her new form), they find little resistance to a depressing acceptance of their fate. This temperament is introverted and unstable, and is associated with the element of earth.
Slime is the relaxed and content element, matching the phlegmatic temperament. Again, the transformed slime citizens are motivated by this, seeking a peaceful existence by being assimilated into Slime Princess, who embodies this passive state. Phlegmatic is an introverted and stable temperament, and is also associated with the element of water.

obligatory dukes childhood bedroom appreciation post, this bad boy can fit so many hyperfixatation headcanons
ignore Bruce on the iv this ain't abt him..anyway childhood duke hcs for your viewing pleasure
-classic fave of mine is that dukes career as a forever dm started when he ran a campaign for a bunch of older kids when he was like 10 at the library
-and dukes favorite place was DEFINITELY the library when he was a kid. it was like baby's first mutual aid. he always returned his books on time. If there was an event, he was there, elaine and doug made sure of it. he feels like a know it all kid, the type who got in trouble for reading books about wizards under the desk instead of paying attention
- older hc but I think her wrote warrior cats fanfic basically but w dragons instead I just know he did in my heart
-in we are robin duke mentions an old childhood dream of wanting to be a paleontologist (mainly cuz he liked solving things and putting pieces together) but I dully belive the pipeline went wizards > dragons > dinosaurs (baby duke basically thought dinosaurs were like irl dragons

Yknow the fact that most of the characters have implied that simon should go back to being ice king, because he was more "fun"
Feels like a set up.
Cus up till now nothing has given an indication that its a bad thing for simon to go back to being ice king, fuck even simon thinks its a better option DESPITE the fact that he has voiced that he wants NOTHING to do with ice king
Which make me realise that while we have heard simon express how bad it was while being under the crown and we know it was essentially 1000 years worth of torment, but we've never SEEN first hand how that torment was
Like there's a reason why the one person who has first hand experience being under the crown has such a disdain for it. Even now the only reason why he even wants it back is cus bro is hella depressed and just misses not being mentally aware.
So what im trying to say is im predicting theres gonna be an episode that shows us, or more accurately, fiona and cake the true nature of the crown, what happens in the minds of the people who wear it and what causes them to go mad,
Maybe it'll convince fiona and cake that this dude going back to being ice king is not a good thing, and they'll just have to accept that their world is okay as it is. Coming full circle to the theme of being yourself and finding value in your current situation.
Cus are you telling me the thematic conclusion for all this is to put a dude back in the mind prison that his wife tried so hard to get him out of just so their lives can be a bit more interesting?
