Writing meme: Marceline, Please forgive me for leaving you But it was something I knew I had to do I can feel the crown is making me evil And it’s the worst damn thing in the world to feel… “That barely even rhymes,” Simon said bitterly to nobody. I’m hurting myself and I’m afraid I’m gonna hurt you too So please forgive me for whatever I do- Musicians say the second hit is the hardest. Simon stared at his scrawled, mostly terrible lyrics for a long time. PLEASE forgive me- -Anonymous
*excited squeaking*
Please forgive me for leaving you
But it was something I knew I had to do
Okay! I love Remember You the song. I can’t beat that! So this is the same song, just…a different verse, I suppose. And, of course, it’s now remodeled as a suicide note. Because…
…well, I think Simon was pretty into music. Not just the Ice King, either, Simon. You can see his drumsticks in his bag throughout Simon and Marcy, and those drumsticks are one of the saddest things to me in the whole show. (I’m not exaggerating, they really are, for Reasons.) Course he’d leave Marcy a song, even a bad one. (‘Evil’ and ‘feel’ don’t really rhyme, after all. But I don’t reckon Simon’s heart was in the rhyming…)
And it’s the worst damn thing in the world to feel…
I love Sweary!Simon. I like to think everything we heard in Simon and Marcy was actually coming through Marcy’s seven-year-old filter and Simon was in fact constantly swearing, instead of ‘mother!-‘ing and ‘breadball’-ing, at everything and anything he encountered in the course of keeping Marcy safe.
I’m hurting myself and I’m afraid I’m gonna hurt you too
So please forgive me for whatever I do
Ah, the core of Simon’s character, in a way. How many times has that guy asked for forgiveness? Probably more than he needed to, considering the poor man tried so damn hard.
……Annnnnd lost anyway.
