User blog comment:Adventure Time Noob/Why do a lot of people hate Flame Princess?/@comment-4661088-20120915053213

I am a Fubblegum shipper. I have hoped for a grown-up Finn to get together with PB ever since I saw the pilot in middle school, when I was a kid. Ever since Princess Bubblegum said, 'Well thank you, brave knight," and planted that kiss on Finn's cheek, and Finn literally DANCED with joy, I have hoped for an older, wiser, more mature Finn to end up with Princess Bubblegum eventually. And some day, I hope that Finn becomes Lemongrab's step-dad. Because Finn would be an AWESOME step-dad to Lemongrab.

However...

I LOVE FLAME PRINCESS.

I think that Flame Princess is a great character. She has clearly had a very hard, complicated life of isolation and seclusion, and has a hard time dealing with her anger and coping with her past. But she's actually a sweet young girl who just needed friends. Ever since she started hanging out with Finn and Jake, Flame Princess has become more adjusted. I really empathize with this girl. I want to see more of her. I want to learn more about her past and her relationship with her father. I want to know more about her relationship with Peebles. I wouldn't call her "underdeveloped-" I would call her "hiding." I like what I've seen of her so far, but I would like to see, and learn, more. We've already seen that she's a deep, conflicted character. And I know for a fact that there is an immense amount of growth and potential for this character.
