Marshall Lee - Blog Posts

i know we just met but wanna be my plus one?

together, then

They look good in every multiverse

Gumball and Marshall have known each other for ages, right?

They must have lots of silly and funny stories to tell.

Can you tell us some?

(I'm terrible in english 💀)

love your art 💗💗💗

Awww thank you! 🫶💗

I'll give you three short little stories, totally not because I lack the creativity for this-

1- Before they started dating, they were in a "inseparable friends who occasionally did something romantic without thinking" phase. One night, they got tipsy at a royal party and were particularly clingy, Marshall Lee turned to him and straight up asked: “Don't you want to be my boyfriend or something?”

He asked this in a (half) joking tone at the time, Gumball just laughed and said “I'll think about it” as a response. The next morning, Marshall, now sober, was a little shy around Gumball all day.

2- Gumball created two types of candy bats while thinking about Marshall Lee, red jelly and marshmallow, and they used to call them "our children" for some time. The candy bats can still be found in dark places around the Candy Kingdom.

3- Marshall Lee once shapeshifted into a monster and started wreaking havoc on the Candy Kingdom just for Gumball to struggle trying to capture him and then complain about it endlessly to Marshall Lee once he was back in the castle, wearing his usual pretty boy form and pretending nothing happened. Gumball was pretty pissed at him when he found out that this was all just a big prank, while Marshall Lee was having the laugh of his life.

No doodle this time, sorry (⁠｡⁠ﾉ⁠ω⁠＼⁠｡⁠) but thank you for the ask!

Do you have any headcanons for the human version of gumlee?

Surprisingly, no-

At least not yet until season 2 releases and I put more thought into them :'P

But I have a lil doodle of them here you go

We need candy Marshall and vampire Gumball!!!

Waow okay anon imma give you a lil concept, sorry for making you wait too long 🥹

My current takes on Candy Prince Marshall Lee and Vampire King Gumball

I've seen some dark romances where vampires drink their partners' blood...

I wonder if Gumball has blood or if Marshall bites him for fun (or to drink his blood).

Would your blood also taste sweet?

I love them so much <33

And i love your art 💕

Aww thank you sm 🤲💖

My Gumball doesn't have blood because he's just gum, so if Marshall bit him, he'd just drink his color (does that count as blood to PG,, , idk) I think it'd be like only eating the filling of a Bubbaloo, and since it's just pure sugar and not that nutritious, Marshall Lee wouldn't drink it that often.

But he does bite Gumball just for fun a lot of times, it's like his love language at this point lol Gumball doesn't really mind because he wouldn't feel the pain or become a vampire if Marshall's fangs sunk too deep (don't ask me why i'm still thinking of a reason for that), so neither of them are intimidated by the act 🫴 If anything, Gumball just finds it funny because Marshall bites him at random, sometimes he'll bite Gumball's cheek after kissing him or have a quick chomp of his knuckles while they're holding hands and he has nothing else to do.

Sometimes Marshall will also have a nibble of his neck when they hug, Gumball's reaction is always something like "Did you just bite me? I felt something >____>" because, again, he can't feel the pain of his bites. I think he'd feel something like a painless pinch, but wouldn't be able to tell if Marshall actually bit him and was about to make him go out in public with a bite mark he didn't notice or if he's just messing with him lol

Here's a silly doodle of them for you 🫴

Only them matter (Halloween Edition!)

The old 2023 version ฅ⁠^⁠•⁠ﻌ⁠•⁠^⁠ฅ :

What would it be like if Gumball and Marshall were swapped?

Like, vampire Gumball and candy Marshall

(love your art 💗💗💗)

Omgomgomg I've been thinking about that swapping concept and I gotta doodle it someday because I have some ideas,, ,

What I imagined if Marshall Lee and Gumball swapped species: Marshall Lee would still be a candy prince, and Gumball would be the vampire king. Royal boys wow

I think Candy Prince Marshall Lee would be pretty calmer and less chaotic than his Vampire-Demon self, kinda like Human Marshall Lee from the canon spinoff but fancier. Not being raised in hell sure does wonders to a person.

But even though he's not a troublemaker, people would be quick to assume he's doing sketchy stuff behind closed doors... And they're right but that's not the point. He'd have this unusual aura around him, which causes people to have mixed feelings about him.

I like to think he'd still have a vampire-like appearance, always dressing in black, shaping his ears and teeth to look more pointed and sharp… His kingdom would look different too. I'm thinking that he'd have something like living candy statues of Gargoyles perched over the walls of his kingdom instead of Gumball Guardians. People might get freaked out because at first glance they wouldn't know that the statues can move and then suddenly there's Gargoyles flying around their houses at night, and now they feel like they're being observed. I think Marshall would be the type to mess with stuff he shouldn't too, such as dark magic and whatnot. He's a little prince of darkness.

He's also made of marshmallow. Strawberry marshmallow.

Unlike Gumball, he “bleeds” when he gets hurt, like a strawberry jelly. You can't really tell if it's just his filling or if it's actually blood, because chances are that it's both mixed together. Sometimes the dark arts require fresh blood to be successful, and that's his way of solving it.

As for Vampire Gumball, I actually haven't put a lot of thought into him yet, so my interpretation is still a concept up to changes (⁠・⁠∀⁠・⁠)

When I think of him, I imagine a lonely and depressed king who fell from his glory after having his court and minion armies decimated. That kinda sounds like an embodiment of PG’s fears mmmmm

I think he would be less sweet than his usual self. He used to be a more authoritarian and rigid king, he doesn't tolerate reckless behavior, so sit your ass down and only seek for blood when you're actually hungry, not just because you can (he's looking at you, The Star /hj). He probably values discreet work when hunting more than outwardly imposing fear and power, for the sake of surviving longer. Some vampires don't take him as seriously as they should because of this lack of total freedom. This does not mean that he does not assert authority, however. He will smack you upside down the head if you disrespect him.

He would still have some of his original traits despite everything. He can't create life like PG can, but maybe he's still connected to it somehow. Maybe he spends more time studying humans than he kills them, paralleling PG being a nerd lol. Maybe he's kinda like the VK and likes to be around animals too, and has a fatherly streak in him.

He wasn't staked when the vampires were persecuted and no one has any idea where he is now.

Not sure how it would be if Candy Prince Marshall and Vampire King Gumball met. The vampire era would've automatically made them stand on opposite sides, with Marshall Lee looking for Gumball's footsteps and Gumball trying to stay under his radar and manage his bloodthirsty armies at the same time.

But let's say they meet when Gumball is already a fallen king and isn't as big of a threat. Marshall would try to become "allies" with him, keeping him around in case Marshall needs him and having some sort of symbiotic relationship with him, with the occasional borderline flirting on Marshall's part.

I guess Gumball wouldn't be too fond of Marshall's connection to magic and would be sketchy of his sweet-talk, at the same time he'd have a bit of a soft spot for him. “Sometimes I feel like I would have loved to have you in my court”, he might say to him.

Thank you for the compliment and the ask btw 🫶💖

How did Gumball and Marshall meet?

What did the two think of each other?

Most fan stories I've read show that they hated each other from their first interaction.

I love your version of this beautiful couple 💗💗

Ooooooo I was just thinking about their story together! I think I still have some tweaks to do with my own interpretation of them but I have some ideas.

I believe they met when The Candy Kingdom was giving its baby steps, maybe as a simple candy village or something, and Marshall Lee just stumbled across it one day. Marshall never did anything to actively harm it, but he didn't interact with anyone there, he was probably interested in something else, like the founde- I mean, the food there.

I think the candy citizens would be terrified seeing a dark shadow passing back and forth rapidly near their houses and stealing their candy, and he'd become some kind of boogeyman or the chupacabra to them lmfao (I like to think that some older candy citizens would still use his "legend" to scare the younger ones and make them behave)

They kinda start off on the wrong foot in this too, sorry anon 🙏 But it's just because Gumball now wants to catch this candy stealer and help his poor citizens have a peaceful night of sleep for once after weeks, and gets incredibly frustrated on the way. He finds a way, though. Either by setting a trap to catch Marshall Lee himself when he's shapeshifting, or by catching something else that unintentionally lures him... like a zombie cat who keeps showing up at the crime scene. (Or both too, I guess that works.)

Okay so now Marshall is mad (picture a small bat fuming that he has to be in a cage), his cat is mad, and Gumball is freaked out by the fact that there was a zombie cat wandering around his village and he didn't even realize it, potentially putting his citizens in risk of infection (Schwabelle wouldn't infect anyone tho, she's a good kitty), so now what? This nerd is going to study them, ofc. Especially Marshall Lee once Gumball finds out he's a vampire.

Vampires are practically extinct since Marshall Lee also became a vampire hunter in this universe, but I believe that the people who managed to survive their attack long enough also managed to leave behind records about them, stating their habits, their abilities and whatnot.

I know that, due to canon events, this would probably be out of character in insane levels but,, , I like to think that Gumball would be thrilled to have met Marshall simply because he's a vampire. He's read the records and would've liked to study more about the vampires (both out of interest and because he'd try to figure out the most effective ways to take them down but that's for another day-). The only reason he stayed was because Gumball offered him food and somewhere to stay during the day so he wouldn't burn to death, and because Gumball wouldn't give his cat back until he was sure she wasn't dangerous. If she was safe, he'd give her back and Marshall Lee could do whatever he wanted after they were done.

Marshall Lee would be thrown off by all that because first of all, stranger danger, and second of all, what the fuck.

Marshall Lee was more suspicious of Gumball than Gumball was of him. Gumball just kept asking questions about his vampirism and studying his physiology. Stuff like checking his abnormally low temperature and slow pulse, examining his shapeshifting, reading the records all over again and playing checklist to see how many different skills Marshall Lee could score... It was weirdly amusing for Marshall to see Gumball so fascinated over things that had become normal to him.

I think they would start bonding once they find out they're both immortal, and they'd cling to each other because of it. Gumball would listen to Marshall Lee's stories and Marshall Lee would listen to Gumball's. He was still a little weirdo to Marshall, but a weirdo who's passionate about his interests and managed to create living sentient people out of food, that was impressive. Gumball thought of him as one of a kind. No pun intended. Maybe.

I think that's all I have to say about them right now :P Thank you for the ask! 💖🫶

Blind as a bat

What's the point of being so uptight if it only costs a vampire licking your face for you to lose your composure

headcanons about Marshall's relationship with his mother?

I sometimes wonder what Gumball would be like meeting her... I wonder what she would think of him

(Sorry my english is terrible)

I love your art <3

Aww thank you so much!! 🫶

I don't have a headcanon list this time, just a big ramble about what I think happened to them based on the crumbs from the How To Warrior book and my made up sources 🫴

I think Marshall Lee was a huge mama's boy as a kid, he was her evil little baby who'd torture demons left and right just to make her proud, and her constant encouragement of his cruelty made him strive to be an evil lord just like her.

But as Marshall got older, he started to get annoyed because it was the only thing she talked about with him, perhaps? And also something about wanting independence and questioning parental authority when you reach the teenage years mmmmmmm something like that.

His mother kept pushing her own agenda on him, and he was starting to reject it because he wanted to do his own thing, already creating conflict and some distance between them. I imagine Marshall Lee also started sneaking out of the Nightosphere after that. He wanted to see the world beyond rivers of blood and screaming demons. He was bored and annoyed enough at his mother's demands, and needed time for himself. And he was already somewhat familiar with Ooo because his mother took him there during his early childhood, if she got suspicious, he could just say he was burning someone's crops and poisoning their water, I dunno

Howeveeeer... I think that on one of those outings he got into some big trouble, like being turned into a vampire and simply not telling his mother, while she began to question why he was getting paler/grayer(??) and not eating anything other than demon's blood... Like, okay, that part wouldn't bother her so much (in fact, she would think he was doing it like the good old days) but I think at one point she'd be like "Why don't you eat the food I make for you with all my love and evil anymore, what's up >_>"

Congratulations, 🎉 it's a half vampire! 🎉 (she's not happy)

This probably triggered a big argument between them, they were both really frustrated with each other, and they literally live in hell, you can't expect these people to deal with conflict in a healthy way. Marshall Lee just decided to leave, he didn't want to deal with any of this anymore and he was spending more time in Ooo anyway. His mom didn't stop him.

I think Marshall Lee would be more spiteful so they still have a strange and awkward relationship. She can act as "friendly" as she wants, he won't budge. Also I don't think he would find out that she purposely distanced him from his father to try to mold him into the next lord of the Nightosphere. At first. Maybe. If he did, that would destroy the little relationship they still had.

I haven't thought much about a meeting between her and Gumball, but I think she'd pull a Hunson and a "So this is your boyfriend huh >_> Can you still have kids with him tho <_<" kind of scenario would happen in this universe too

Like yes mother he can but can you not talk about it like he's not in the room YOU JUST MET HIM-

I don't think his mom would be homophobic before anyone wonders, but she'd at least question what was going through her son's head because Gumball is, at first glance, the complete opposite of Marshall.

Not only that but I think that Marshall Lee would've gone through a phase in his life where he wanted nothing to do with love and relationships because he's an "oh so evil demon and he'd be making a fool of himself if he ever thought about getting into someone's affections just like that" (which may or may not have resurfaced for a while after two awful breakups), but then he shows up with a boyfriend and he's really clingy to him... Y'know that scene from Deadpool 2 that's like "I'm just surprised anyone would date you, especially Pinkie Pie from My Little Pony"? That's it 😭

I think that's all I can think of right now, thank you for the ask 🫶

Happy Pride Month to THEM 🥹

They're so orange cat and black cat duo coded

Haven't posted in a bit but I tested a site that generates color pallettes using their names and doodled these boogers 🫶

I love how their pallettes just progressively got darker lol

Just two nerds nerding

Headcanons about our beloved Vampire King Marshall Lee?

(i love your art so much!)

Awww, thank you!! 🫶💖

Marshall Lee headcanons then:

1- His backstory is also slightly different from Marceline's. I really like the idea of him being raised in the Nightosphere with his mom, only visiting Ooo once in a while, and then permanently moving there for a freer life. I got that concept from the How To Warrior book! Baby Marshall was such a menace, I love him.

2- AU stuff but he and Fionna are roommates! The treehouse belongs to him, similar to how Marceline used to own it in Adventure Time, except he actually keeps it and lives there with Fionna and Cake. He moved his stuff to an attic that he was supposed to turn into a studio and made it his bedroom-house of sorts, he still comes out to have meals together and hangout. Schwabelle is also there, stealing Fionna's lunch every other day.

3- Speaking of Schwabelle, Marshall Lee adopted her as a kitten, and he was also the one who got her reanimated when she first passed away. He's unhealthily attached to that cat and WILL throw hands for her. Needless to say that he's a cat person.

4- He's Demisexual. I actually posted that on Twitter a while ago but not here uhhhh sorry then, he's one of us aces 🫶

5- He can't eat normal food because of his vampirism, it makes him feel nauseous and throw up. Normally he doesn't give a fuck, or he fills his food with red dye, he can still taste his meals even just by sucking out the color. He also drinks blood from time to time, because only drinking the red off things doesn't give him enough nutrients and it messes with his powers.

6- He's got a big sweet tooth. His favorite flavor is strawberry, and he also likes to drink maple syrup.

7- He often plays as a solo musician but I like to think that he's also in a band with a couple friends (said friends being ocs of mine but shhhh).

8- He can purr when he shapeshifts to his bat form (both small and huge), and he tends to get more cuddly as a bat. He curls into a ball like a cat does.

9- He hates getting sick, just the fact that he's still able to get sick even though he has healing powers pisses him off enough, but he also hates doctors and taking medicine. He spends like 2-3 days dying until he heals, or until someone drags him to a doctor.

10- He didn't inherit many demonic abilities from his mother, other than her soul sucking, but one that he did inherit is that he's able to move his body in a strange way, like Hunson does. He likes to scare people by rapidly turning his head back in 180°, which makes a nasty crack sound. Yes, he already pranked people by pretending to be dead with this amazing talent.

11- He watches a lot of vampire movies, he can go from tragic romances to the Rated-R ones. It's a personal interest of his that he doesn't share with anyone.

12- He can't get piercings or tattoos because of his healing powers, so he resorts to fake ones. If he could get a real piercing though, he'd get a tongue one.

13- He doesn't have a reflection in mirrors, so to be able to cut his hair and put on some dramatic makeup for concerts, he either trusts the process or gets a friend to help him. In addition to that, he often practices his makeup skills on Fionna's face, because she's closer and he likes to mess with her.

14- He likes to customize his own clothes, he knows how to sew and he has a lot of paint in his room for that. He also likes to draw posters for himself. He's pretty artsy.

Uhhhhh, what else, what else… I think that's all I have at the moment. Thank you for the ask!

Are we gonna talk about these two being Card Wars nerds and being so good at it that they actually injured two people + Gumball being The Floop Master
