The Amazing, Random, and Suprisingly Dark Land Of Ooo
For some reason this shows simple world fascinates me and I really don't know why. So because I love it so much and because I feel like you guys might too I'm going to show those people who have maybe only seen a few episodes everything you need to know about the beautiful and weird land of Ooo.
You may not of heard of Ooo's dark beginnings. Ooo takes place on post apocalyptic Earth due to the "Mushroom War" Some think of this as a conspiracy theory but it's been confirmed by the creator of the show.
The Mushroom War was a nuclear war between unknown armies for unknown reasons. It's named after the huge mushroom clouds that were a result of multiple nuclear bombs going off. Here in the opening we can see nuclear bombs and throughout the show you can find buried cars and scattered pieces of broken technology from today's times.
Few survived and most of those who did became mutated. Marcy and Simon (who becomes ice king) were some of the few who survived. Both are over 1000 years old when Adventure Time takes place and now have strange powers and skin coloring.
Almost all of human life was wiped out though. Finn has been thought to be the only normal human left.
As life rebuilt itself people and animals evolved into the strange and different types of creatures and races of people that are on the show.
After all of this the land became known as Ooo. Ooo is separated mainly into: The Ice Kingdom, The Candy Kingdom, Castle Lemongrab, The Wilberry Kingdom, Lumpy Space, Fire Kingdom, Cloud Kingdom. There are also many other places that don't belong to any kingdoms like: The Evil Forests, The Bad Lands, And The City Of Thieves.
Ice Kingdom:
Is ruled by Ice King. One of the only known buildings in the Ice Kingdom is Ice King's castle. The inhabitants of the Ice Kingdom are sparse and include penguins and a few other snow related creatures such as Snow Golem who owns a cabin which is the only building known besides Ice King's castle.
Candy Kingdom:
Is ruled by Princess Bubblegum. Princess Bubblegum and some of the first Candy People built the Candy Kingdom and the walls around it. It originally was built near a radioactive river which had to be buried in candy. There are many forests and mountains and grasslands that belong to the candy kingdom and anyone who lives there is taxed.
Castle Lemongrab:
was originally built by Princess Bubblegum for Lemongrab to live in because she knew he didn't get along with others. Lemongrab felt he deserved citizens though and used a candy life potion to create his own people called the Lemon People. Bubblegum creates Lemongrab 2 to help Lemongrab rule and not feel so lonely. Leomongrab eventually enslaves his people and eats Lemongrab 2 and the Lemon People who try to escape. Lemonhope is then sent and he with the help of the people explode Lemongrab. Lemongrab 3 is then created out of parts of Lemongrab, Lemongrab 2, and the Lemon People. Lemongrab 3 rules over the people today.
Wildberry Kingdom:
is a giant bush that is ruled by Wildberry Princess and inhabited by different berry shaped people. The whole kingdom is covered in trees and leaves and the outside is a bush with a tree like shape and a stump.
Lumpy Space:
is a cloudy cityscape inhabited by the Lumpy Space People. The portal to enter Lumpy Space is inside the Candy Forest (which is in the Candy Kingdom) inside a frog and requires a password. Some of the only vegetation are elm trees scattered across space. Most of Lumpy Space is purple and blue but "Make Out Point" is orange and green. The Lumpy Space people have a negative view of outsiders and the word "lump" is a swear word. Lumpy Space Princess is the princess of Lumpy Space and like all Lumpy Space People can infect people with "the lumps" by biting them with her teeth.
Fire Kingdom:
is made up of volcanoes and seas of lava. It's monarchy live inside the Fire Palace. Most of its inhabitants (including the Fire King) consider themselves to be evil. Fire Wolves are scattered in packs around the Fire Kingdom and can roam free. Flame Princess is the daughter of the Fire King and a ruler of the Fire Kingdom.
Cloud Kingdom:
is a huge land of clouds inhabited by tall cloud like people called (of course) Cloud People. There are also cloud shaped birds and animals. The Cloud Kingdom's ruler is unknown (if there's a ruler at all). Rainicorn and Finn go to parties here sometimes and that's really all that's known about it.
Evil Forest:
is a huge forest that doesn't belong to any kingdoms inhabited by a variety of hostile creatures such as mutated street signs and trees. The only real known item of value in the Evil Forest is the Crystal Apple which Tree Trunks, Finn, and Jake go to find.
The Bad Lands:
are vast lands of sand in the southern region of Ooo. The Bad Lands are filled with destroyed pieces of technology from before the Mushroom War. The Bad Lands are filled with small settlements such as the Breakfast Kingdom and the Slime Kingdom. It's also part of the Desert of Doom.
The City of Thieves:
is a dome covered city run by the King Of Thieves. The city doesn't actually have any laws and everyone is just constantly stealing from each other. The city's legend is that anyone who goes there will eventually become a thief.
The Tree Fort:
is the home of Finn and Jake. It's a huge hollowed out willow tree and is an outpost on the grasslands owned by the Candy Kingdom. Finn and Jake are taxed by the Candy Kingdom just like all the others. There are many cool rooms for many different purposes and it's filled with random furniture and things Finn and Jake have found.
The Grand Meeting Of Ooo Royalty:
is a meeting of the various rulers of Ooo besides the Earl of Lemongrab. The actual topics of these meetings are unknown.
Religion of Ooo:
The primary religion of Ooo is worshiping Grob Gob Glob Grod. Grob Gob Glob Grod or often just called Glob was a former deity from Mars. They were four brothers who sacrificed themselves to save Mars from a comet. There are other potential godlike beings such as Party God and Death.
Currency:
The currency of Ooo is two different types of bills: giant bills and regular bills and various coins. Some store owners prefer to barter.
Languages:
Korean: spoke by Rainicorns and occasionally Bubblegum.
German: "the preferred language of demons."
French: occasionally the Flame King
Many books are in Spanish and Latin and some Japanese phrases are used by Jake.
Well I hope you liked this. I really don't know why I posted it other then the fact that I just love how this random place isn't actually as random as you first think. Also I'm extremely bored.
EDIT: HOLY SHIT I CAME BACK TO CHECK AND THIS THING BLEW UP!!!! MATHEMATICAL!!! Sorry if I missed out on your some things. I'll make an updated version someday with EVERYTHIIIIING.

I love this show so much. Jake (voiced by John DiMaggio) is one of my favorite voice actors - he plays Bender, and Marcus in Gears of War!

Welp the ice king is human, he is just cursed with the ice crown, also he lived before the mutations of the great mushroom war.
dowahdiddydiddydumdiddydo
His status has been changed from human to wizard. The crown has changed him too much for him to be considered human

In the episode about Macy and Simon's past where she gets sick and the big pink glob gives them the soup, the pink glob is PB right?

Common fan theory
thegriffin88
Seems to be related. God that episode makes me cry. Their whole story does. I wonder if one of the writers had a relative with alzheimer's.
usernumber84
Yeah, that's Simon's bag. He was a way for one of the writers to work through his feelings about his grandfather descending into dementia.
thegriffin88
I knew it. That's a really sad thing to go through. What Marceline says in 'I Remember You' is too real.
ICanChangeMyUsernameWheneverIWantButIDontBecauseIAmGodDamnLazy
Ahh, it kills me every time seeing Marcy interact with Simon. God damn memory loss.
strongfkennedy
It made me teary too. Her song was really pretty.
Icantknit
I cry happy/sad tears when I hear that song
Fenderzilla
It's probably just an simple life form made of sugar, possibly the evolutionary ancestr of candy people.
Fenderzilla
The fact it helped them might be why Simon loves her so much
SsSsSs111112232
Yes, the author said so in comic con, it's on youtube.
sirkickass77
No i think that is the beginning of PB's family tree. Kind of like an ancestor that would later evolve into a humanoid like being like PB
NrarzMaster
This is correct and was confirmed by one of the awful adventure time games! The goo is like her parents kinda
smashpro1
Either that, or it eventually became her.

Yes it is PB. She was the protector of the "Last Survivors".

One of us! One of us! No, but I do hope you end up liking up. I appreciate it more now than I did when it first aired.

I used to feel the same way. It eventually grew on me. I especially love the deep spiritual and psychedelic references.

Trust me. I thought the exact same thing. I watched a few more episodes and ended up binge watching it over the summer.

Princess Bubblegum spoke German on several occasions.

I just realized this. Peppermint Butler is basically a demon. I think Princess Bubblegum might be. It would explain her longevity.
AmArschdieRaeuber
But also maybe because she's made out of gum

THERE IS SO MUCH MORE. Adventure time has in my opinion the best lore out of anything ever. It is deceptively dark despite fun colors'n shit
thevraptor
Yes, but this post does a good job with the basics nonetheless.
TheThingNoNotThatOne
I think the best part is that you have to glean the overarching history of Ooo through background details. It's so good at world building
LordofGoats
As I've been reading all these lore posts, I kept thinking I'd like something less overt, where the world just is. Tada! Adventure Time!
strongfkennedy
The Simon and Marcy episode actually made me teary.
bosssaucexcellence
I cry everytime
channelranger
Simon and Marcy is sad, yeah, but I remember you is just pure feels. That's the one that got me hooked on the show.
strongfkennedy
Maybe that's the one I'm thinking of. She sings to him and yells at him "don't you remember?"
channelranger
That one would be I remember you. Simon and Marcy is the flashback one to when they were still traveling together.
strongfkennedy
Aw shit. Just watched it again. "Marceline, is it just you and me in the wreckage of the world? That must be so confusing for a little girl"

I don't know about that. The Elder Scrolls lore is pretty damn awesome.

The story of the Ice Crown, from Evergreen to Simon, is worth a whole separate post alone.

If you like Adventure Time's expansive lore, check out Steven Universe. Similar style and all that. You won't be disappointed.

I agree with you completely, especially since its Rebbeca Sugars creation who used to be a writer and storyboard artist for adventure time.

What about the Nightosphere? Also there was that great episode with Urgence Evergreen and Gunter that fills in a lot of info post war
tripofalifetime
I agree this post misses out on a few things. Urgence evergreen (therefore ice, fire, bubblegum, and slime) are all pre- mushroom war
AlxEverett
And how could we forget the Wizard kingdom?
jimmythehat1
probably because it's WIZARDS ONLY, FOOL!
SophiaLemonGrenade
Actually, since Simon found the crown before the Mushroom War, Gunter and Urgence are pre-human history. Which is really just even weirder.
jimmythehat1
see, that's where it gets confusing. I feel like it's gotta be somewhere in between human history and Ooo because of the elementals. and
xBurrito
The whole show is crazy confusing there's so much backstory to it all. It's insane. I love it O.O
JohnSmitheson
Nah it was thousands or millions of years before modern times and waaaaay before the mushroom wars. Gunter was a dino or something remember?
jimmythehat1
come back once the mushroom wars kicked off [presumably awakening the Lich, and maybe even the comet hitting again]
jimmythehat1
true. I think the confusing aspect was a few episodes later when they mention the "comet" having a 1000 year cycle. It just seems odd to
jimmythehat1
think that wish magic becoming reality and the comet hitting resulting in a reality closer to our own normal one [with no magic] only to
jimmythehat1
the crown/comet collision is the start of "wish magic" spreading and augmenting the existing elementals.
SophiaLemonGrenade
I do agree that the elementals make it seem that way. I don't know, Ooo's chronology is hard to track.
jimmythehat1
Part of the fun I guess. Just hard to believe that wish magic would lay dormant and be triggered by nuclear war, comet hitting, and the Lich
