Random Evidence That Princess Bubblegum And Marceline From Adventure Time Are More Than Just Friends (13 items)

  (#3) Marceline Basically Writes Bubblegum An Ode To Love

  In episode "What Was Missing," Marceline sings Princess Bubblegum a song filled with what can only be described as romantic tension. This is the first real glimpse into the Bubbline relationship that audiences get. From the ballad, the viewers can glean that the two used to be very close but had a falling out which still bothers Marceline.

  The Vampire Queen wants to make amends but doesn't think that her paramour feels the same way. Then it all gets too real for Marceline and she blushes in embarrassment. It's like the ultimate drama bomb.

  (#1) The Adventure Time Cast Has Pretty Openly Admitted To The Relationship

  At this point, Bubbline is basically canon. In an interview with fans, the voice of Marceline, Olivia Olsen, recounted a conversation she had with Adventure Time creator Pendleton Ward. Olsen says that the creator asked her, "You know they dated, right?"

  Unfortunately, it is illegal to mention a romantic relationship between women in some of the countries where the show airs, so any overt reference to the relationship would negatively affect the show, allegedly. Rather than lose viewers, the show keeps the relationship covert. With the show nearing its end, however, the possibility remains that Marceline and Princess Bubblegum's relationship will soon go public.

  (#7) They're Both Immortal, Which Makes Relationships Way Easier

  Mortality is heavily discussed in the Stakes miniseries. When Marceline decides to stop being a vampire, she also gives up her immortality. Princess Bubblegum tells her, "This means someday, you'll die. You know that right?" Marceline responds, "I guess it’ll be my last adventure!"

  The two continue their conversation and Princess Bubblegum conveys so much with so few words. Theirs is a relationship that will surpass even death. She notes:

  "You know I care about you. I think you’re making the right choice. Your natural lifespan is going to be richer and fuller than you can imagine. And someday, when you die, I’ll be the one who puts you in the ground."

  Finally, at the end of the series when Marceline becomes a vampire again despite her efforts to be human, she turns to PB and says, "Now I guess we get to hang out forever."

  (#13) Marceline Has a Picture Of Princess Bubblegum On Her Fridge

  Similarly, in the episode "Ketchup,"it's discovered that Marceline keeps sentimental photographs too. Taped to her fridge is as a different snapshot of her and the fair ruler of the candy kingdom.

   

  This is just another subtle allusion to their romantic relationship.

  (#5) The Show Often Comments On Their Shared Past

  The audience is usually only given glimmers of Marceline and Princess Bubblegum's history. It's apparent that they are both really old (about 1,000-years-old give or take). .

  In the episode "Varmints," though, the two reminisce about times past. We learn that the two used to be "very close" and that their falling out had to do with the ever-expanding workload that accompanies leadership in the Candy Kingdom. Because PB is such a control freak, it makes sense that her incalculable relationship with Marceline would end the way it did. The complex emotions explored in the episode make a lot more sense in a romantic context than a platonic one.

  (#2) Bubblegum Is Too Sentimental About Marceline To Be Just Friends With Her

  In the episode "What Was Missing," it is revealed that Princess Bubblegum's great treasure is actually a band t-shirt that Marceline gave her. In the episode "Sky Witch," it's apparent that Bubblegum's attachment to the clothing item is deeper than we might have expected. It's similar to Finn's obsession with his lock of Bubblegum's hair.

  Apparently, Bubblegum passionately sniffs the tee in the morning when she wakes up. Members of a platonic relationship don't usually breathe in each other's scent to start the day.
