Forum:Ice king's crown(theory)


 * SPOILERS BELOW*

well, simon and marcy just showed where i am and a few things start to make sense now so here's my theory about Ice king and the candy kingdom. My theory is that the crown itself is the actual ice king. As shown in Finn the human, the crown itself is sentient and can go so far as to grieve the death of it's wearer and activate it's powers by itself. This possibly means that the crown is actually a living entity that recognizing an individual as a friend instead of an owner. In both Simon and marcy and Jake the dog, the wearers of the crown exclaim that they are going to reveal the secrets of ice and snow in both situations as a well intentioned(yet chaotic) attempt to protect themselves and their loved ones. This shows that the crown is more of a chaotic good than evil. The crown also possibly creates a parasitic relationship with it's wearer. Simon says the the crowns magic is the only thing keeping him alive(although he nearly dies when Ricardio leaves his body so this may just mean it makes him ageless) But as simon he repetedly says that he cant remember what he does when he wears the crown. The ice king also has a completely different personality than simon. this may mean that the crown has it's own memories and is actually excited that it has a body to control. At some point in the crowns history it came into contact with a person named Gunter(gunther).Gunter may be the actual spirit of the crown, the crowns last owner, or the Spirit of the crowns child. Either way the crown has an obvious emotional(yet traumatic) attatchment to gunther. Marcelines Diary may also be another gift from simon and it may have belonged to the original Gunter as their name is on the front of the diary. Marceline also could have put this there due to the ice king recognizing her only as gunter for a short time before finally recognizing her as marceline. Refering to others as gunther may also be the reason betty left simon and the reason marceline frowned in the song "I remember you". This is more supported as marceline doesnt question why simon called her gunter twice in Simon and marcy as he's already called her gunter at least once before. The end of Simon and marcy also marked the final stage of Ice king's transformation as he no longer needed his glasses, his skin turned permanately blue, and his voice changed even though the crown wasn't even technically in his posession(it was thrown to the ground and left there while he grabbed the soup from the bubblegum creature.)http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20091227230730/adventuretimewithfinnandjake/images/archive/b/bc/20100401212842!Wiki.png
