What Would It Be Like If Gumball And Marshall Were Swapped?

Sometimes I imagine little Fionna meeting Prince Gumball and mistaking him for a human.

I mean, he looks a lot like a human (if he wasn't completely pink).

For you, what makes him different from a human, apart from the fact that he is a pink guy?

Well, first of all, the fact that he's made of candy and is alive and thriving despite not having bones or human internal organs. He can heal(?) his own wounds just by molding some gum around, and he has a really long lifespan, which makes him technically immortal, unless you throw him in acid or something. The way he was born and how he ages is different too. I think he would go through some changes like growing taller and losing baby teeth during childhood, but then his body stops changing at some point and his appearance remains the same from then on, so he has to make changes himself if he wants to.

He's always smelling like sugar too. Always. No amount of perfume can do that.

That's all I can think of for now :P Thank you for the ask! It inspired me to make fanart of them as kiddies so there you go 🫶

I only drew them as humans once so here's a little something

I don't remember this scene in the movie

Uhhhh happy Halloween :D

Bro gets arrested once and decides to make it everyone's problem

I've seen people redraw Sebastian over this meme dozens of times while I was working on this but I didn't want to waste all the effort I put on it mmhmjnmm don't mind me 🫠

Fionna and Marshall have their proper families...

Does your version of Gumball have a family?

If so, do you have headcanons (no spoilers from your AU) about Gumball's family?

It's Father's Day here in Brazil, you couldn't have chosen a better timing to ask me that lololol

I know you said no spoilers from my AU but the headcanon in question that I had in mind *is* a spoiler so- (⁠・⁠∀⁠・⁠) We're rambling about Gumball today, and i'm bringing my own OCs into this again, I hope you don't mind. I did some art :D

My version of Gumball does have a family, it's just,, , a bit of a complicated topic to him.

The candy people are already like his children, I guess he'd refer to them as “one big family” often, though there might be different opinions depending on who you ask. Some of them actually see him as a father figure, others as simply as their prince… I think there’s still a certain emotional distance that prevents them from calling each other a “real family”, so to speak.

Gumball still has Neddy/Nelly in my version, but she's his older sister in this. She's still a big gum dragon who needs Gumball's patience and support, though. The difference is that they didn't come out of the Mother Gum together, only Nelly did. She's the only close relative he has right now.

Gumball's backstory in this is the opposite of PB’s, so instead of coming out of the Mother Gum, he's a family member created to fill a void in his creator's heart instead. He’s a lab baby, 🎉 SURPRISE! 🎉

This is where the OC talk comes in, because I decided to create an oc to be his creator/technically parent/the other older sibling I mentioned in a different hc list about Gumball.

Meet Dulcine, this one tired gum thing who probably has coffee mugs with quotes like "don't talk to me until I finish this cup" somewhere. They also came out of the Mother Gum, and they're kinda like PB if things had gone south. And things went really SOUR-th. Get it? Hahahsgetjhhahahahshdsfs

“I want a little brother”, they said. “I'll get to have someone who's similar to me and test what I can and can't do in my lab at the same time!”, THEY SAID.

And, well, Dulcine does love Gumball to some extent, but they can be pretty mean sometimes, as they didn't have the patience required to raise a child. Or to manage having a lab with sketchy projects in it and a curious, clingy kid at the same time. Dulcine also started to test said sketchy stuff on him at one point... Needless to say that they're not really in Gumball's life anymore.

Ironically, Gumball was able to develop an interest in science and how to create people using candy later in life, despite his bad experiences. And he took over Dulcine's lab.

What is Gumball in Jackalope Fionna AU?

He's gum. A lot of gum. So much gum that it makes even him moody.

Everyone moved on but I stayed here

I love how she just had to touch him and he instantly went "must kiss gf" I hate them so much EUEUEUESHAHEKWHAH

I love your version of Prince Gumball (he's confort me).

Do you have any good facts about him um your AU?

Aww thank you! 🫶 I don't want to spoil too much about backstories yet, so most of these will be silly headcanons I have for him and that I made canon in my AU:

1. I like to think of Gumball as a very caring and fatherly person, and that he's quick to take care of people. He actually became friends with Marshall Lee and Fionna because of his need to take care of others. Because he and Marshall Lee are on strange terms, he's being more nurturing towards Fionna, but he doesn't try to play parent on her. Especially because she's a young adult in my AU.

2. His backstory is different from PB's, I took the freedom to change some stuff around everyone's backstories. The main difference is that he doesn't have an evil uncle/aunt who wants to lobotomize him, he has an older sibling instead. I drew them once on one of my fanarts of him as a kid but I still have to fully introduce them. Gumball was a clingy and sensitive child, but this combined with a caregiver who suddenly stopped taking care of him as much after some time and started being mean to him didn't do him any good.

3. He's taller than Fionna, Marshall Lee and Flame Prince. He's like 6'8 and I'm holding back the urge to straight up make him 7'0.

4. He doesn't feel much pain. He can lose a limb and he will barely feel it, but he can still feel body pains or headaches, though it's more like an uncomfortable feeling instead of actual pain.

5. Don't let his seemingly perfect attitude fool you, this guy does not sleep early 👉

6. He mostly listens to classical music, and I think he would really like the piano, but sometimes he'll just put on earphones and blast on some heavy music to relax. (He got it from Marshall.)

7. He plays with his hands a lot when he gets anxious. Sometimes he zones out too.

8. As you may know, I hc Gumball as Gray-aromantic. It's extremely difficult for him to feel romantically attracted to someone, and when he does, it's usually a messy feeling that he doesn't know what to do with. At the same time, he's a very affectionate person, who accidentally gives mixed signals but still.

9. He knows how to swordfight and duels with Fionna when he has time.

10. I don't know how relevant or meaningful this information is but I think that Prince Gumball and Breakfast Prince would have some kind of familial connection. Like, they would describe each other as "weird cousins who only see each other during important events", because that's how it feels like to me 😭

Uhhhh, that's all I can think of for now. I hope my English is understandable, and thank you for the ask!

Local scene noob checks to see if ur okay
