* LastMomentTogether: Simon reunites with Golbetty and is saddened as he realizes all the sacrifices he unintentionally made her commit for him. They then view his memory of stopping Betty from going on her research trip, though he changes it so that he went with her instead. However, Simon admits he can't change what happened and the two acknowledge that their relationship wasn't perfect, but they don't regret their love. They then say their goodbyes and Betty gets on the bus, becoming Golbetty and parting ways with Simon forever.

* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler: While Fionna doesn't get to be a hero like she wanted, she learns to appreciate her mundane world for its own merits, while the mundane world is now infused with magic to become a bit more like Ooo from the adventure, including Cake keeping her powers and speech, showing middle ground between a "Mundane" life and a "Magical" one. Meanwhile, not only does Simon ''still'' [[DidNotGetTheGirl lose Betty in the end]], but she shows him that their relationship, for all its merits, [[AllTakeAndNoGive was always too one-sided in his favor]], ending up like it did because Betty always had to sacrifice something for Simon. But she also tells him she's made peace with her choices, and gives him the strength to do the same, finally move on, and make the most of his new life rather than dwelling on the past]].

* OneManArmy: {{Parodied}}. At the end of "Cake the Cat", Fionna actually manages to invoke this trope despite clearly not having any combat skills, but it's because not only do none of the other people in the marketplace have any either, but most of them are anthropomorphised versions of incredibly fragile objects like twigs, balloons, and teacups. It's still enough to convince the little girl watching that Fionna is the real deal.

* AnAesop:
** "Never give up on your life because you think someone else matters more".
** While it’s perfectly normal to wish for something more in your life, you should also appreciate what you have now and make the best of it, even when not everything goes your way, instead of dwelling on something (or someone) you have lost.

* WorldOfTechnicolorHair: In Fionna's world, most of the magical characters of Ooo are normal humans, but they still often have hair of unusual colours similar to their alternate equivalents, such as Gary having pink hair, Fern having green hair (with flowers in it), and Ellis P having purple hair. [[spoiler: It turns out that Fionna's world is the gender-flipped Ooo of her original adventures after Simon Petrikov's sanity was regained, and the hair is a remnant of their original forms.]]

When she gets her wish, she’s obviously elated, [[spoiler:until her travels across the Multiverse with Cake and Simon make her realize that there might be a steep price for living out her fantasies, mainly how her actions and goals would affect in a negative light her loved ones, often by not taking into account about their opinion and feelings.]]

* ColorMotif: Some of the different universes visited throughout the series have different color palettes: for example, the universe in "The Star" features a wine-red hue that permeates the perpetual clouds blocking out sunlight, creating a sense of dread and illustrating the dominion of vampires over the land. In contrast, the world in "Jerry" consistently displays a strong brownish-yellow tone, symbolizing its status as a dry and arid wasteland devoid of life.
