fionna's arc has been so compelling to me this season. many of her decisions stem from insecurity & a sense of inferiority to the title of Hero she feels she has to, but can't, live up to. yes, she wants to help people, but deep down she also wants to prove she's not a loser. ( )
this self-indulgent desire to be a hero is also what’s driving her delusions about flame. she wants to help people, but mostly in order to feel self-fulfilled and desirable again. But it’s not a service to humanity if your motivation is self-serving
