Thankfully Finn gets them to stay by singing a song about how Jake, Bonnie, and Marcy are all his best friends (during which Bonnie and Marcy sing in harmony together) and this song opens the door. As Bonnie is walking away, Marcy begins tearing up. After Bonnie's attempt to open the door fails, Marcy and Bonnie get into an argument and Marcy spits on her. This being the truth, it almost opens the door, but when Marcy realizes she was singing about making up with Bonnie, she freezes up and gets defensive. But I shouldn't have to be the one that makes up with you. I'm sorry that I exist, I forget what landed me on your blacklist. I shouldn't have to prove anything to you. The lyrics from "I'm Just Your Problem" give the first indication that the two had a romantic relationship, especially "Well, I shouldn't have to justify what I do. Or do you just not like me", which Marcy then began to sing the long remembered the song "I'm Just Your Problem". Marcy starts to sing, but Bonnie dislikes what she was singing causing Marcy to lash out and say "Oh you don't like that. Later in the episode "What Was Missing", a Door Lord steals the main characters' possessions and locks them behind a door that can only be opened by singing the truth.

Rather than making it a simple story of coming together, Obsidian depicts a bold, layered queer relationship.Īdventure Time: Distant Lands - Obsidian helped solidify Adventure Time’s legacy. Centuries later, after they’ve rekindled their romance, they have to return to the Glass Kingdom and confront the issues that led to that breakup in the first place.
