The fourth one in the series.
Did this while thinking of all the songs linked here: http://mahira-chan.deviantart.com/art/4-Affection-and-Insecurity-360068334
And as I mentioned there, I never thought of the song "I'm Just Your Problem" as related to romantic feelings---if you think that girls can't have extremely emotional, extremely stressful and bitter breakups with their platonic friends, then you've never been in that situation yourself.
We're girls. Especially in teenage years (which Marceline is in), we get overemotional over things, especially when it means losing a relationship of ANY SORT with someone who is very dear to us, and it can leave painful and strongly emotional residue for a very long time.
And denying this means shoving around people and characters into labels to suit certain stereotypes, which is hardly open-minded.
I know this isn't the best thing I've done by a long shot, but I was very happy to get the chance to draw Marceline. I wanted to draw her more feminine and classy and wearing a dress because she has appeared in these sorts of fashions in the show, and that tends to get overlooked since she's not as stereotypically feminine as some other characters, but she's hardly mannish in her tastes...opposite of how the culturally and ethically homogenous population of tumblr represents her.
