Bubbline
Marceline/Princess Bubblegum
The thousand-year-old vampire queen and the immortal candy monarch were exes before Adventure Time even hinted at it — a rock-shirt gift, a bitter song, and years of subtext that the finale finally confirmed with an on-screen kiss. Obsidian later filled in their breakup and reconciliation. Bubbline's decade-long road from coded to canon made it a landmark for queer animation.
