They’re not like all your other subjects, but their love has lasted several lifetimes. We’re celebrating love with these Princess Bubblegum and Marceline cosplays!
Adventure Time is another one of those shows that people are shocked I have never seen. Though I recognized most of the characters and the show’s signature art style, until today, I couldn’t tell you anything about the show itself, its plot, or its characters. I consider myself duly chastised because these Princess Bubblegum and Marceline the Vampire Queen cosplays have inspired me to correct that error in judgment!
The History of Marceline and Bubblegum
At first glance, the show’s art style wasn’t very appealing to me. (I know, I know… I’m the worst.) But after learning about the beautiful and nuanced relationship between these two amazing characters, I’m sold. SOLD, I say! From what I’m reading, their love is a story for the ages.
Marceline and Bubblegum are adorable together. Light and dark, soft and edgy, their contrasts are really wholesome and lead to some damn good cosplay. There are many different styles of cosplays out there for these two, and narrowing this list down was incredibly hard for me!
I’m particularly fond of this art nouveau-style collaboration—it’s absolutely stunning, and the quality of both the cosplays and the photography are breathtaking. The details are rich, and these ladies are giving major Lore Olympus vibes. I hope that you adore these cosplays as much as I do. And that you aren’t as ridiculous as I am for not having seen this show before. Go forth and rock; write some epic love poems for your partners… And enjoy these Marceline and Bubblegum cosplays!
Princess Bubblegum : What? Marceline : Even back when we weren’t talking, I was so afraid something bad would happen to you, and I wouldn’t be there to protect you, and… I don’t wanna lose you again.
Princess Bubblegum : Hey, I’m a tough gum. Nothing never happening to me, never. Marceline : I know. I’m… Girl, you phrased that so weird. Princess Bubblegum : I may have a concussion. [They kiss]
“It’s just–the way you act like nothing’s wrong, it makes me SO mad. You know that, right? It makes me feel like I’m the only one who remembers how our friendship USED to be, who sees how it’s changing.“
“And I know that you’ve got your hands full with your new kingdom, okay? I get that you’re busy, and I want you to be busy. You’re doing something so ambitious, so crazy…“
“I know you can do it. You’re gonna be the one who changes the world, Bonnie. I’ve seen it in you.““Listen, I’m gonna come by tomorrow, help you build those Candy Kingdom retaining walls. Maybe we can punch some ooze monsters while we’re at it, right? I’d like that. Right in the buns, yo.“
“You’ve been my best friend for so long, and we’re not gonna lose that. We’ll figure this out, Bubblegum.“
“My friend the princess. I think I could get used to that.“
