History Heartwarming / ADVENTURETIME

* Heartwarming/AdvenutreTimeFionnaAndCake

** It's revealed that the way Finn truly sees Ice King, sometimes, is as the original man he was, Simon Petrikov.
** BMO is seen to Finn as an angel with a halo and wings - Finn really loves the little guy.
* This exchange:
-->'''Jake:''' ''(when Ice King turns into Simon Petrikov)'' That's how you see him? That's beautiful.

[[AC:Don't Look]]
* Finn acquires Hermit eyes that physically change whoever he looks at into how he sees them.
** Jake transforms into a tall LovableJock with a jersey, showing how Finn views him as an older brother.
** BMO turns into a green human boy, and then grows wings and a halo. He happily soars through the air for [[BrickJoke the entire episode.]]
-->'''Finn:''' BMO, you're my little angel.
** Shelby is turned into a textbook, stereotypical nerd. Despite how unflattering this seems, Finn genuinely sees nothing wrong with Shelby.
** Ice King transforms into Simon (Although he's ''still'' mentally Ice King). Jake says it best;
-->'''Jake:''' That's how you see him? That's beautiful.
** Princess Bubblegum's outfit just switches to a T-shirt, shorts, and a reversed cap. He no longer sees her in a romantic light and just a friend.
** He turns NEPTR back into a regular toaster, and its' played seriously. [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone Finn panics]] and [[LikeASonToMe adamantly states that NEPTR is a son to him.]]
* Finn feels so guilty about NEPTR that he imagines himself as a monstrous version of his father who thinks of others as tools, and runs out the tree house. Jake finds him and comes up with another interpretation for the Hermit eyes to console him; Finn's just ineloquent at describing how he thinks of others, but it doesn't make him a monster.
* Finn's friends gathering at the treehouse to encourage him in order change Finn back into his regular form.
** Finn reviving NEPTR by putting the Hermit eyes into him, creating an "Eye Pie" and changing everyone back to normal. [[ThrowTheDogABone Finn then puts NEPTR on top of his head and chants his name outside, with the others following him.]]

* Finn acquires Hermit eyes that physically change whoever he looks at as how he sees them.
** Jake transforms into a FriendlyJock with a jersey, showing how he views him as an older brother.

** Shelby is turned into a textbook, stereotypical nerd. Despite how unflattering this seems, Fin genuinely sees nothing wrong with that.

** He turns NEPTR back into a regular toaster, and its' played seriously. Finn actually feels guilty about it that he imagines himself as a monstrous version of his father who thinks of others as tools, and runs out the tree house. Jake finds and comes up with another interpretation for the Hermit eyes to calm him down; Finn's just bad at interpretation how he thinks of others and it doesn't make him a monster.

* A meta-example, but around mid-2018, [[ScrewedByTheNetwork after years of erratic airings]], Cartoon Network finally started to show love again for the series, promoting ''a lot'' the remaining episodes, "Diamonds and Lemons" (the {{Crossover}} episode with ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'') and "Come Along with Me" (the [[ExtraLongEpisode 44-minute]] GrandFinale).
** In the case of the finale which premiered on Labor Day, rather than showing the typical ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo'' marathon, Cartoon Network aired an all day marathon of ''Adventure Time''[[note]]Apart from a single ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'' rerun at 6am.[[/note]] featuring fan and crew favorite episodes, to bid farewell to the series that saved the network.
** After the final episode, Cartoon Network had a mini montage to honor the show and included a custom logo of the title with Jake bearing the words "The Fun Will Never End".
-->'''Finn:''' Let's always be stupid. Forever!

* Meta-example for both the fandom and the series. It was this for the fandom because they were happy that Finn and FP became an official couple, and for the series because this episode is, to date, the highest-viewed episode of the series at 3.5 million viewers, breaking the record set by "Fionna & Cake" by .2 million viewers.

[[AC:"BMO Noire"]]

** In a Meta way, a rather cute comment on [[http://www.avclub.com/articles/you-made-me-gotcha,84095/ AV Club's review of the episode]]:
--->'''La Pipe:''' Actual parent here! My family just started getting into this show: apparently there's good school playground buzz in the elementary school set about this show. My (possibly gay) five year old LOVED Lemongrab. So take that how you will.

[[AC:"Who Would Win"]]

** Lemongrab crying "MOMMY!" as the monster is squeezing out his life-juices. In a meta way, it shows that he DOES view Princess Bubblegum as a parent, and DOES hold her in a certain amount of high esteem.

** A meta example. Both Lemongrabs are seen as [[TheScrappy extremely annoying, mean, stupid, and crazy]] by most fans. However, when Lemongrab ate Lemongrab 2, pretty much ''everyone'' was horrified... and at the present moment, the fanbase is sincerely hoping that Lemongrab 2 will be okay. The ones who actually believe that Lemongrab 2 died are [[AlasPoorScrappy mourning his death]]. Considering that both Lemongrabs are the most hated characters both in the show and by the fans, this sincere concern for the well-being of Lemongrab 2 is very heartwarming.

* In a meta way, the collective fandom outrage, even from Lemongrab's fanbase, over Lemongrab 2's current state.

* Susan Strong/Kara's old friend, Frieda, finally gets the chance to fulfill her dream of exploring the world. And this time, Susan gets to go with her.
* In more of a meta example, the montage of scenes from previous seasons. Adventure Time is gearing up for its series finale, and seeing all of that stuff from previous episodes is a reminder of all of the good years AT has had.

** When Marcy at first thinks it's her teasing Bubblegum about her handwriting that's caused her to be upset, she immediately looks worried and tells Bonnie she didn't mean it.

-->'''Betty:''' Simon, I know who I'm leaving you for!
-->'''Simon:''' Who?
-->'''Betty:''' (leaps through the portal) You dum-dum! (kisses him)

* Seeing LSP and Johnny growing closer, with Johnny even calling LSP his "GF" (i.e. girlfriend) when a Banana Guard asks him why he's so chipper.

--> '''Jake:''' [[FunWithAcronyms TMLO]], Princess!
--> '''Bubblegum:''' What's that mean?
--> '''Jake:''' "That means lay off." Finn's feeling this one out solo-style. Give the kid a chance.

-->'''Kim Kil Whan:''' Take care, Dad. I'll call.
-->'''Jake:''' ''I'll'' call.

** For all of the {{Tear Jerker}}s, FridgeHorror, and {{Funny Aneurysm Moment}}s created by "I Remember You", there's at least one great moment of Fridge Heartwarming. Remember, even the song points out that the crown's magic is what kept Simon alive, meaning it's because of the crown that he even lived long enough to meet Marceline in the first place. At the time, Simon had watched the love of his life leave him, he had just witnessed the end of the world, and he's currently helpless to stop his own sanity from steadily going down the tubes, yet he still goes out of his way to comfort a little girl, give her a parent figure when she needs one the most, and undoubtedly saved her life as well. And he wouldn't have been able to do it without the crown; for all of the misery that thing was putting him through, he was determined to make ''some'' good come out of it.

* Just seeing Simon and Marceline's past relationship and him acting as her father figure is enough to give the coldest heart the warm fuzzies. And the main plot was just that Marcy was sick and Simon wanted to give her some soup. The climax has Ice King being forced to wear the crown to protect Marcy from the {{Nuclear Nast|y}}ies, while singing the [[Series/{{Cheers}} theme song]] he sang when he played with her to keep his mind under control. '''[[SugarWiki/AwesomeMoments And he succeeded]]'''... [[TearJerker For the most part.]]

** The fact that he actually knew by heart some of Finn & Jake's random quarks and habits, even when they didn't actually know a thing about him.

* PB and Marceline's progression from hostile rivals and bitter Exes’ into pretty much best friends gives us genuinely sweet moments especially after seeing their breakup in Obidian.

* Regardless of whether you see PB and Marceline's relationship as [[HoYay/AdventureTime romantic or not]], you cannot deny their progression from hostile rivals into pretty much best friends is a genuinely sweet moment especially after their fallout implied to be Bonnibel neglecting Marcy in favor of her kingdom.

** Nina is a loyal, loving pet to Gunther, but Gunther treats her like his master treats him, giving her attention when he feels like it, and forgetting about her when he doesn't.

* Ice King showering Gunther with affection after his attempted conquest of the Candy Kingdom. He might not keep his promise to pay more attention to him but it's nice he puts in effort... [[MomentKiller Assuming it's the same Gunter]].

* Ice King's determination about getting Gunther back from the kidnapper, going so far as to hop across searing hot rocks in a lava river when he can't use his powers; and his remorse he shows about treating Gunther badly.
* Don't forget the scrapbook of them celebrating Gunther's birthdays. And considering Ice King's mental state at the time, it says a lot.

* The end of the show is incredibly heartwarming: Lumpy Space Princess becomes queen, Gunther gets a girlfriend, Sweet P graduates from college, and some of the most tragic characters of the show such as Lemongrab, Simon Petrikov, and Normal Man are seen having happy lives. If you saw the series from the beginning, you know [[WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds how much these three characters suffered]], and seeing them getting [[EarnYourHappyEnding a happy ending]] is exceptionally heartwarming.

** After Jake tells Beemo to look after Finn, Beemo says: "If anyone tries to hurt Finn... I will kill them!" For a thing that claims to be incapable of real emotion, the little fella sure seems to get emotionally invested in Finn's plight.

-->"I like you. I just wanna hug you, and... sit on the couch and play B-MO with you."

** In the same episode, Beemo is wearing a soccer outfit with mud on parts of it. [[http://www.flickr.com/photos/84568447@N00/7158666708/ That is too cute for words.]]

* Beemo playing Cops & Robbers with Finn to cheer him up. It's absolutely adorable, especially the oversized robber costume Beemo wears.
-->'''Beemo:''' Gimme your bank account! Bang bang! Oops! *trips*\\

'''Beemo:''' (points at Finn) Reach for the roof, and give me all your gold bricks!\\

'''Beemo:''' (takes off mask) Don't worry, Finn. It's only me, Beemo!

[[AC:"B-MO Lost"]]
* Bubbles' marriage proposal to B-MO. It eventually turns a bit creepy, but it's still incredibly sweet.
* Beemo's love for Sparkle. Who knew a robot would have such a parental instinct, to the point of jumping off a bridge to protect a child?

* In the first "Adventure Time Annual" issue, there's a comic in which the Lemongrabs go on a picnic together to their own secluded lemon beach, which is inhabited by an assortment of lemon fish and other creatures, including a family of lemon seals which has just had a baby. They spend their day seemingly making the fish, jellyfish, and octopus into tasty lemon snacks. Finn and Jake interrupt them and are horrified, asking what the earls are doing with the lemon creatures. They explain that they were having a picnic, and ask Finn and Jake if they'd like to join them. In the next panel, they're all just chilling together, happily enjoying a picnic lunch. And int the background, it's revealed that the lemon fish that they'd "killed" is still alive (just differently shaped.)

** To put things in perspective, remember the ending in "[[AdventureTimeS2E2TheEyes The Eyes,]]" when [[LateArrivalSpoiler Ice King]] says "I'm still not happy?" This is the place where he's actually happy.

* In ''Hey Ice King! Why'd You Steall All Our Garbage?!'', not only do you check back in with the Snow Golem and the Fire Pup from "Thank You", but Finn and Jake build the Snow Golem an adorable Cloud Golem girlfriend!

** Keeper's pyjamas.

* The episode had two heartwarming aspects that were surprising, considering the fact that most of the episode was very dark and [[TearJerker somber]]. The first was Princess Bubblegum showing [[MamaBear concern and sympathy]] to Lemongrab. (The last time she and Lemongrab were together, they bickered and resentd each other.) The second was Princess Bubblegum making Lemongrab [[AdamAndEvePlot another Lemongrab so he didn't have to be alone]]. Lemongrab is genuinely happy and loved for the first time in his life, and [[WhenSheSmiles smiles a smile that would melt your heart]]. The Lemongrabs nuzzle their faces lovingly while making [[SugarWiki/MostWonderfulSound the cutest humming noises imaginable]], happily pardon the prisoners, and friendlily invite Princess Bubblegum and the others to "stop by any time." This episode was a big one for [[ButtMonkey Lemongrab]], and it had a ''lot'' of PetTheDog moments for Princess Bubblegum to LG.

* [[http://tylerkungpao.tumblr.com/post/35365952684 In a deleted scene]] Billy, being possesed by the Lich, reveals that criminals were sent through the Enchirideon into "The Crystal Citadel" a prison dimension. A Non-Billy possessed Billy sent Finn's biological father into the Citadel (though he was unlawfully accused) where he fights prisoners to this day. Finn says that Joshua, Jake and his brother's biological father, is his dad but figures out that dog people don't have human children. Jake embraces him and says he'll always be his brother and figured he would've found out eventually]].

* Jake [[ItMakesSenseInContext poking Lady Rainicorn's pregnant belly wih his thumb,]] earning him a sweet smooch!

* Jake's concern for Finn when he thinks that Princess Bubblegum is dating Brako. It's wordless, but you can see he's worried about Finn being hurt again. Fortunately, Finn handles it pretty well.

* Moe coming down to BMO's birthday party.Even if it really isn't Moe, and was just some scheme by AMO, you can't help but feel that Moe is the sort who would come down to meet BMO for his birthday, especially with just how special BMO is to him, and why he was made.

* A small one, but when the gang meets Patience St. Pym the Ice Elemental, Ice King briefly tries to impress her by making ice, only to basically just conjure a small Ice Cube. Finn immediately steps in to excuse him as "having used his powers a lot today" (which he has, digging into the ice cavern in the first place). Ice King is still an erratic weirdo, but Finn did actually try to make things less embarassing for him for a bit there.

** TheReveal of how Finn ultimately made it to Ooo. Some people that Martin conned came after him for revenge while he was with Finn. Martin got the two of them to a raft so he could get a safer part of the island but this activated the Guardian that was designed to keep humans from leaving. They got separated when Martin tried to fight the Guardian to keep Finn safe but the battle sent Finn adrift on the raft. He survived by using a breadstick wand that Martin showed him right before the attack. A moment of fatherly affection from Martin is the reason that Finn was able to make it to Ooo, [[HappilyAdopted where Joshua and Marget found him.]]

* In Issue 18, Finn, Jake, and the Ice King are all trapped in some sort of LotusEaterMachine by the Lich. It's actually rather touching to see their respective heart's desires: Finn ends up in the alternate-universe "Farmworld" seen in the season 5 premiere, going on an adventure to track down and destroy the Lich's parts with his buddy Jake; Jake ends up back at his and Finn's tree-house, where he discovers that Finn now shares his powers and takes the opportunity to relax with his friends and neighbors; as for the Ice King, what he desires most is to be reunited with his fiancee Betty.

-->'''Finn:''' OH MY GOSH! Come here! ''[hugs a giant potato, thinking he's Jake, but he soon realizes it's not him]'' What?

-->'''Finn:''' ''[confused]'' Jake? You okay?

* At the end of the "Elements" miniseries, Jake has returned to his true form as a monstrous shapeshifting creature after coming back from the dead. Finn, while initially taken aback, still sees him as his brother and hugs him while promising to get him back to normal.

-->'''Finn:''' I was really scared when you left. You're my best bro.
-->(Finn and Jake hug)

* "But first we will inform the children of our departure SO THEY WON'T WORRY ABOUT US WWWHILE WE'RE AWAY!" Cue Finn and Jake looking absolutely TOUCHED by the Lemongrabs's surprising sweetness. [[RealityEnsues However, being insane sociopaths, they do something destructive and threatening instead]].
