Popping Culture: Cast reveals Adventure Time secrets

Marceline & Princess Bubblegum have a history


Adventure Time fans, rejoice: that thing you thought, that notion you were wondering about, has been proven true!

Princess Bubblegum and Marceline used to date!

For those of you who don’t know what I’m referring to, Adventure Time is a cartoon series created by Pendleton Ward. It follows the adventures of two friends, Jake the dog and Finn the human, and their adventures in the land of Ooo. Two of their friends are also major characters in the show: Marceline, a vampire who sustains herself by draining the colour red from things, and Princess Bubblegum, the ruler of the Candy Kingdom.

Folllow me? If you don’t, check out an episode or two.

In any case, Olivia Olson, who voices Marceline, was recently interviewed about her character and explained how Ward admitted to her that Bubblegum and Marceline used to date. It makes sense, considering the many hints dropped throughout the show’s run. Like this moment, when Bubblegum is seen sleeping in — and sniffing — a shirt she got from Marceline.

Check out this video where Olson spills the beans.
