He struggles to even look his brother in the face and bats around the topic rather tackling it head on, which is similarly understandable. Finn is a bit more open to the new alien-like Jake, though not by much. We’ve already seen in The More You Moe, the Moe You Know that BMO perceives change as something Earth shattering, rather than a natural part of life, so it’s no wonder that he’s so opposed to such jarring shift. BMO is a child at heart, and is understandably the least accepting to such changes.

Jake’s denial of such changes really shine through in the first few minutes, and it’s really interesting to see how each character acts in response to his new form. Now, with changes noticeably happening around him, Jake is terrified that such changes may result in a total change of his character, and his life. He’s always found comfort in the fact that those around him, including his brother and loved ones, have looked at him as the same person he was before. Over the course of the show, we’ve seen Jake go through several transitions, namely becoming a father. It isn’t necessarily change itself that Jake fears, however. As we witnessed recently in Cloudy, Jake struggles to be open about his fears and inner conflict, and Abstract takes it a bit further by showing his resistance to any form of transition around him, good or bad. Abstract exaggerates said denial to extreme lengths in the best way possible. On the surface, it looks like Jake is accepting change exceptionally well, though it’s clearly more so the denial that any change has occurred to begin with.

Trouble in Lumpy Space features Jake largely downplaying a potentially crucial life change, while Chips & Ice Cream has him ignoring a physical change almost completely. This has always been a consistent trait of Jake’s character, even in the earlier seasons and more comedic centered episodes.

We’ve seen him time and time again ignore significant changes in his life and as he attempts to treat drastic shifts as if they are easily manageable and barely noticeable.
