Talk:Princess Bubblegum

Similarity
She looks a bit like Princess Peach. So far its like PB is Princess Peach Finn is Mario and Jake is Luigi.

Appearance
In Slumber Party Panic, because the candy people didn't find it odd that Princess Bubblegum was wearing a lab coat when she said "We're all going to have a slumber party!" It may reveal that she wears a lab coat as pajamas, but it is no the case because in Go with me she is seen in a nightgown.
 * Her pajama's are Marcelines rock-shirt. The Master&#39;s Voice 08:37, October 9, 2011 (UTC)

Real picture?
Is the one picture of 'infant Princess Bubblegum' real? KoolioPhoebe What the shizzle?  23:51, July 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes, it's seen on the wall in "The Duke" Dooby Dooby Doo-Bah A-Gent-G! Ask me how to stop shipping! 18:00, August 20, 2010 (UTC)

Princess Bubblegum's age
I saw it said she was 14 than the next day 18 and then it was back to 14. How old actually is she?

@bby


 * I reverted an edit saying that she was 14 because there was no source. Until someone finds one, it will stay the way it is. Her true age is unknown. Wad  dle   D33  18:14, November 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * To me, she looks about 15, her and Marceline look very similar in age, i have noticed. daddy, why did you eat my fries? 10:14, November 24, 2010 (UTC)

 * Until there's a reliable source, we shouldn't speculate. And Pen said that Marceline is (hundreds) of years old.-- 15:18, November 24, 2010 (UTC)

He/She meant in appearance. 00:54, December 10, 2010 (UTC)

She is 18.

WHY DID THEY HAVE TO CHANGE HER SHE WAS MY FAVORITE CHARACTER WHEN SHE WAS 13

Yeah i know she should've styed 13 im really really really POed at frederator still

Pic?
I see absolutely no reason why the picture in the character template had to be changed. PB wasn't 13 for all of the episodes except for "Mortal Recoil", so why is her 13-year old picture there? Can't we wait until next episode airs?...

Waddle D33 Talk Contribs ಠ_ಠ  22:59, May 4, 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, given the way the episode handled it, it certainly seems like this change is in continuity, at least for now. So even if it's not permanent, it reflects her current status. That's why I'm OK with it. --Cornprone 23:53, May 4, 2011 (UTC)
 * When people age, get a new haircut, or even just change the clothes they always wear wikias usually change the main picture for the person to show their current form. So... de-aging would count too, but if you think it is not permanent then it won't be this for long, though I agree with Corn that based on how the story went it seemed to be permanent in my opinion at least. felinoel  ~  (Talk)  06:08, May 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * I agree with WADDLE D33, we now princess bubblegum dosent stay 13 because of that piece of the story board for Door Jam (BTW its the first epiode of the third season not the 10th) so why chang the pic to 13! >:(
 * First of all, we don't know that, someone said that storyboard was storyboarded before Peables was changed so for all we know it was before they considered changing her age, and secondly it is her current age, if someone gets a haircut you don't show their old haircut as well as their current one in the infobox? felinoel  ~  (Talk)  04:03, May 9, 2011 (UTC)

I hope she does stay 13
ill be very confused if she reverts back to her 18 year old version after the mystery train episode (also finns b-day) finn stayed 13 why not pb tooFinnincarnate 19:59, July 23, 2011 (UTC)

that way fans dont get angy bout finn having a crush on her ands hes 13 and shes 18... so.. yea and cuse i want to see finn and pb be bf and gfAgamer00 02:53, May 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * But I figured the writers did that so they could date? felinoel  ~  (Talk)  06:05, May 5, 2011 (UTC)

I think she's waaay cuter when she's 13! I really want her to stay as well! She looks a lot better, and she's now Finn's age! 54together ~ 17:11, Jun 17, 2011 (UTC)

I hope she does stay 13 but after seeing the preview to "Too Young" and what I have gathered either Lemon head dies or she ages I think its about a 50/50 chance also the idea to make her young came after quite a few season 3 episodes where thought of so its basiclly a toss up ~ 18:52 Aug 2 2011 (EST)

the worst happened i hoped and hoped she would stay 13 but she is now 18 and i am really pissed off GGGGRRRRRRRR!!!!!

I know this really pisses me off. First they give you an awesome twist at the end of season 2 and you're left wanting to see more of her, and the next time i see her shes already firickin 18 again!!!! wtf!?!?!! GRRRRR WTF RAGERAGERAGERAGE!!!!!

Species
How is she a human hybrid? Is this ever stated? Just because she is humanoid does not make her a human/bubblegum hybrid? felinoel ~  (Talk)  15:18, May 5, 2011 (UTC)

Her first name is Bonnibel, according to Marceline.
I remember someone else later in that episode calling her Bonnie though? Didn't they? felinoel ~  (Talk)  15:18, May 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * unknown guy- they called her bonnibel not bonnie
 * But more than just Marceline called her it? felinoel  ~  (Talk)  13:34, May 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * That isn't how her first name is spelled. Her first name is spelled Bonnibelle, not '
 * 'Bonnibel' because that is the name of a brand Naruto fan 6 23:05, May 30, 2011 (UTC)Nfan 6
 * I think that spelling was confirmed by the storyboard. Also, Adam Muto accepted (or at least did not correct) that spelling on his Formspring. It may be a brand name, but it's also a normal though uncommon girl's given name as seen here.--Cornprone 23:35, May 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * Bonnibelle is the common German name of today while Adventure Time is set in the far future where things like what is common today would be mispronounced or misspelled in Ooo, like Jake pronouncing Mozart and Beethoven the way he did.
 * Anyways if I recall correctly, and I might not, I believe it was Peppermint Butler who called her Bonnie... felinoel  ~  (Talk)  23:47, May 30, 2011 (UTC)

Princess Bubblegum and Finn
does anyone know if she will stay 13? because she fits finn better at 13

24.119.53.121 17:23, May 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * Something this major is more than likely continuative. When Finn got his hair cut, it was still relavtively short when he pulled back his hat. Door Jam (a future episode) has a scene posted on the wiki, but that was several weeks before Mortal Recoil aired, so the change may still be permanent depsite this. I personally think this would make for a better story.

ChiChoo29 22:41, May 5, 2011 (UTC)

Sadly, such will not be the case, unless Pen listens to our pleas & changes the ending of "Too Young" & all subsequent episodes (meaning a huge delay in new episodes).

Even though PB be aged which is sad "Too Young" really moved the series forward especially between PB and FInn I think their is another reason why PB doesnt go out with finn other than their 5 year age gap but wouldnt be interesting if they somehow age finn 5 years it probably wouldnt last anylonger then young PB but it would certainly make an interesting episode. Guess Who??? 06:59 August 10, 2011 (EST)

Speculation
I'm sorry I'm new here, but is speculation allowed on this wikia? Because the recent edits have been nothing but speculation on this article... mostly about her age. I know Bulbapedia allows and protects speculation so I figure this wikia may allow it too? felinoel ~  (Talk)  18:22, May 7, 2011 (UTC)

Age
I think her age regression is definitely important enough to have on the introduction. I also think we need to keep the current picture of her, but also add a picture of her former age alongside it or underneath it, with a caption fully explaining which is which.
 * Please remember to sign your posts with four tildes (~), her former appearance is shown in the article, when a character ages they don't show the previous age at the infobox on the top of the page, this is her current state and so that will be her infobox image felinoel  ~  (Talk)  00:10, May 9, 2011 (UTC)

Speaking of age, let's talk about what happened tonight. We have a scandal on our hands! HOW DARE THEY! Just turn PB 13, then make her 18 1.1 episodes later! That's BS! Fortunately, she remains 13 in my fanfiction. BNSF1995, Alive since 1995 04:25, August 9, 2011 (UTC)

Nickname
How would this fit into the page. Finn's nickname for her was Preebos. See formspring comment and reply. -- Bunai82 (talk) 01:09, August 10, 2011 (UTC)

Important Message!!!!
Everyone listen up! Look up Adventure Time Season 3 updates on Google! There will be a video with a picture of Young PB and Finn in a future episode in the later season,not the episode Too Young! She turns back into being 13 somethime after the episode Door Jam! Hope this helps and please respond!

SHUT UP! Oh, I gotta see this! BNSF1995, Alive since 1995 06:04, August 12, 2011 (UT

Can you be more specific? Where is this image? Are you sure it wasn't on DevianArt? BNSF1995, Alive since 1995 06:07, August 12, 2011 (UTC)

Here, listen. After you look up Adventure Time Season 3 updates on google, click on video, and you will see a video with Marshall Lee that will say, BEST UPDATES EVER!!! Watch the video and during the video will be a picture of Young PB and Finn in a future episode. It's too good to be fan art, so it has to be real! Keep posting more comments!

It's nothing but blasted fanart! YOU LIAR! BNSF1995, Alive since 1995 19:49, August 13, 2011 (UTC)

WTF make her 13 again

 * Okey, I really don't get this one. Why did they have to turn her back into 18 after everyone loved her as a 13 year old? GRRRRR I WANT 13 YEAR PB BACK NOW!!!!!!! BLLLLLAAARRRGGGGG!!!!! RAGERAGERAGERAGE...!!!!!!!Gunter.png 01:45, August 27, 2011 (UTC)

Evidence of her being half-human?
Where in the world does it exactly say that Princess bubblegum is technically half-human? (A link would be nice.)

She seems to be just a shaped piece of bubblegum with more bubblegum for her hair.

Spartan-112 : The Master  of Puppets  20:09, September 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * It doesn't? In fact it is more likely that she is the result of many years and a radiated piece of candy, since the lumpy space people are just irradiated space dust. felinoel  ~  (Talk)  03:04, September 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * Here's some evidence for you, Spartan. http://www.formspring.me/natazilla/q/165756650483913677
 * O.o.O.o.O 03:39, September 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't know if that is evidence since she isn't sure of it. This is like when they said that the Space Angel Princess lives in a kingdom of many Space Angel people atop a giant Space Angel Princess in space... but he also said he made that up... felinoel  ~  (Talk)  03:54, September 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * Maybe we should delete the information for now? If the information is merely plausible in validity, then I think that the info should be taken down until the info is confirmed. --Spartan-112 : The  Unforgiven 04:54, September 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * When she said "I think", she was referring to whether Princess Bubblegum was the only one of her species, not the species itself. -O.o.O.o.O 11:32, September 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * Or that she isn't sure of it. felinoel  ~  (Talk)  20:10, September 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * The reference of Muto is definitely an unsure one. felinoel  ~  (Talk)  02:35, September 11, 2011 (UTC)
 * I think he was unsure of how much human or bubblegum Princess Bubblegum was, he didn't doubt that she was a hybrid. -O.o.O.o.O 02:39, September 11, 2011 (UTC)
 * I remember that Cartoon Network once posted on her bio that she was the result of some [mad] scientist's experiment... Spartan-112 : The  Unforgiven 04:53, September 11, 2011 (UTC)
 * @OOOOOOOOO, You can't just assume that?
 * @Spartan, ...interesting? Did you get a screenshot or something?

 * Interesting indeed, I worry though about the legitimacy of this, since episode synopsis for Fionna and Cake got their info about the Land of Aaa off the internet and how this article used to call her a hybrid so they may have gotten that hybrid info from here... felinoel  ~  (Talk)  06:49, September 11, 2011 (UTC)
 * The plausibility of this info is outstanding, and I think asking several of the Adventure Time staff this very question of her being the result of some madman's experiment will clear this up a bit, more or less, that is. Spartan-112 : The  Unforgiven 07:58, September 11, 2011 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't quite call it outstanding but go ahead see if they respond. felinoel  ~  (Talk)  21:14, September 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * You know, I read that link, and I would say that it doesn't say anything about a mad scientist, just her being a hybrid of human DNA and bubblegum. Spartan-112 : The  Unforgiven 02:05, September 22, 2011 (UTC)
 * That's because she's not a result of a mad scientist experiment. [[Image:Cookinggumgum.PNG|40px]] O. o.  O.  o.  O 02:24, September 22, 2011 (UTC)

 * It doesn't say that anywhere people are just assuming it because why else would she be a hybrid. felinoel  ~  (Talk)  04:22, September 22, 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, it may seem like fan-speculation on my part, but perhaps the Mushroom War is a plausible cause? <font color="DarkGreen">Spartan-112 : <font color="Black">The  <font color="PineGreen">Unforgiven 21:09, September 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * Oh no I agree, it is just that the word hybrid makes people think evil scientist, not eons of mutation. Regardless of what I think though either way is speculation. felinoel  ~  (Talk)  01:46, September 25, 2011 (UTC)

 * Totally agree with you They obviously have something going on between them and NO im not shipping them Just because some people have bad blood doesnt mean they dated I mean come on something probably happended when PB and Marceline where younger (Marceline looking just about the same of course) It must have been pretty intense but come on people stop shipping Marceline and PB!!!

Wait, what? PB is 14?
According to the provided info on this article, in direct reference to the DVD's special features, PB is 14? What the heck?

Initial introduction of this information would make you think that PB was 9 when she was de-agified. But she was blatantly described as to being "13" on the show, and the statement from PB as she joked "that was five years ago, silly!" confirms her age as 18 years old (13 + 5 = 18, if you needed the proof :P).

...Only two conclusions can be assumed from this: either the user provided invalid information, or this is a fault on the writers' part.

Can't be pregnant?
WHY can' PB become pregnant? I MUST KNOW WHY!!! felinoel ~  (Talk)  03:33, October 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * Where is that ever said? Besides, she has relatives (Uncle Gumbald) so family ties do excist in Ooo. Maybe some things should stay vague and mysterious? :) The Master&#39;s Voice 08:07, October 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * I think one of the formspring people said it, maybe Nat... the way I took it was that Candy People were artificially created which was why the Earl of Lemongrab had any right to the throne. felinoel  ~  (Talk)  08:17, October 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * Could be. What is wonder though, is why she has a great-ucle (grandfather or grandmother's brother) yet no parents are ever mentioned. Who was king or queen before PB then? I suppose it doesn't have to make sense. :P The Master&#39;s Voice
 * A lot of people with dead parents don't often talk about them? Though they could be out past Ooo somewhere exploring the rest of the remains of Earth or something? felinoel  ~  (Talk)  08:34, October 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * They could be yes. Maybe then they will return for one episode. Would be pretty funny. :) The Master&#39;s Voice 08:36, October 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * Btw: Maybe the rulers of Ooo CREATE their heirs? In that case, I sure hope PB creates one to replace the Earl of Lemongrab with. He would make on helluva annoying king. xD The Master&#39;s Voice 08:43, October 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * Since they are only as old as the amount of mass they have, PB could have once been the queen and full ruler of the Candy Kingdom before losing mass and de-aging. felinoel  ~  (Talk)  09:23, October 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * So what you're proposing is that Candy People can experience the same thing as Benjamin Button? Nice. That would certainly fill some gaping plot holes the creators left open (on purpose?) <font color="DarkGreen">Spartan-112 : <font color="Black">The  <font color="PineGreen">Unforgiven 18:03, October 9, 2011 (UTC)

 * Eh, it's not that hard to comprehend, The Master's Voice, we're just speculating certain aspects of the show that seem to be puzzlingly odd. <font color="DarkGreen">Spartan-112 : <font color="Black">The  <font color="PineGreen">Unforgiven 19:34, October 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * By making it even odder? Maybe if candy people cannot have children each king creates an heir themselves? I mean, PB does have a family because she mentions a great-uncle (who would be much older then her). If she has a great-uncle (who is the uncle of either her father or mother and thus a sibling to one of her grandparents) then she must have parents and grandparents too (or she had, at some point). Which means that candy people can have children, somehow, and so can Princess Bubblegum. That's the easiest explanation. The Master&#39;s Voice 19:43, October 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * I do agree with you when you say that the Candy People are able to create offspring, but all of this pondering is based on what Natasha or Adam said concerning PB's ability to procreate the way humans, animals, and microscopic organisms do: by sexual reproduction. They said that she couldn't give birth (which means she can't undergo sexual reproduction), which means that an artificial means of procreation exists for these Candy People. Maybe they're manufactured, like today's candy? You should also note that Natasha and Adam occasionally formspring buzzed, and that their statements are to be considered somewhat unofficial if it doesn't concern aspects of the characters that are seen on-air. <font color="DarkGreen">Spartan-112 : <font color="Black">The  <font color="PineGreen">Unforgiven 21:40, October 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * Calling someone your great uncle does not prove that kids can be had? Also no Benjamin Button could only age in one direction. felinoel  ~  (Talk)  08:14, October 10, 2011 (UTC)
 * A great uncle or aunt is a sibling to your grandparents - if PB has a great-uncle then she has grandparents and thus parents. Which means family ties, somehow, excist in Ooo. Like the Duke of Nuts and his wife had two sons. The Master&#39;s Voice 08:22, October 10, 2011 (UTC)
 * We are talking about Candy People not all the species of Ooo, also I said just because you call someone your great uncle does not prove they can have kids. felinoel  ~  (Talk)  09:06, October 10, 2011 (UTC)
