#also Marceline sings a Mitski song in this one

[cierv-o-robot-o]

I rewatched the show a couple of weeks ago and haven’t been able to stop thinking about this song since and I just found out it's a cover of a song ('I look up to you') by Lake so naturally I've been listening to their music all day and you guys should check it out too because it's all so beautiful

Ladies, gentleman, folks and trolls, welcome to the one and possibly not only, "Anon's Poorly Made Arbitrarily Chosen Ship Songs for Rock Branch Masterlist That Is Mostly Indie And Soft Rock With Some Punk Because That's The Anon's Taste In Rock Version 1.0 (Working Title)"!!!1!!!!1!

Rock Branch/Demo: No Choir - Florence + The Machine

(I have a million possible songs for them, but since I forced myself to pick just one I choose No Choir because of how down-to-earth and sweet it is. And it reminded me of Demo's friendship with the Classical trolls in Trollstopia)

Rock Branch/Val: Date With The Night - Yeah Yeah Yeah

Rock Branch/Petra: Enjoy The Silence - Depeche Mode

(Ps.: I do hd Petra as a lesbian but decided to include it anyways because other people may not and it could also work as queerplatonic)

Rock Branch/Synth: Marceline PT.2 - WILLOW

Rock Branch/Spider: Combat Baby - Metric

Rock Branch/Poppy: Hounds of Love - Kate Bush

(Still unsure about this one for them, but its a good and very sweet song nonetheless)

Rock Branch/Hickory: Black Hole Fantasy - The Crane Wives

(This song made me cry more than once, 10/10 would recommend)

Rock Branch/Lownote Jones: Solar Solar System - Lady Lamb

Rock Branch/Holy Darlin: Company - Daisy The Great

(Also not fully sure about this one, but I like it and I think it fits Branch's character so I'm keeping it)

Rock Branch/Dante: Heaven - Mitski

Rock Branch/Chaz: Curses - The Crane Wives

(Very much an unserious and joke entry because 80% of the reason I choose this song its because it has a clarinet. The 20% is because I can see Branch singing this song for any possible romantic interest, especially during a certain plot point but that's neither here or there)

I'm sorry for making you experience this cringe, I will retreat to my cave now and catch up with my college assignments for once. (Unless you liked it, in that case, you're welcome) /hj

Oh I love this so much. I super love the pick for Branch/Petra. I see her and Val and bi but I could also rock with lesbian Petra.

I love that you included Branch/Spider. I'm excited for Spider to actually appear. I think you guys will like him and his band.

I loved these, never apologize for this.

In season 8 episode 10 of Adventure Time, Marceline the Vampire Queen (voiced by Olivia Olson) performed a cover of Francis Forever by Mitski, in a singing competition hosted by Princess Bubblegum (unabridged here).

In an interview with KEXP in 2017 (around 10 min mark), Mitski went on to say that one of the producers of the show "emailed me and they were like 'Hey, can I use the song?' ... It wasn't through any licensing channels, it was just someone from the show emailed me." People also mistook Francis Forever for "that song Marceline wrote".

Olivia Olson also posted a cover of the song in 2018, without the drums from the original track, Clay Priskorn on bass guitar.

The only thing I remember about it are the characters. I definitely see why ice king makes you uncomfortable. And his voice also annoys me lol.

Aww you’re so cute. Sending you the best hugs and kisses, sweetheart. You know I wouldn’t make you watch it right? I’d have you put on whatever your heart desired. Although I might get distracted by how cute you’d look watching.

-🍸

Fare You Well Adventure Time - Final Review

On Monday September 3rd 2018 at 19:00 (EST) the 2010s Animation Renaissance era was over after Adventure Time ended. It was the foundation stone of eight years in which a generation that grew up watching cartoons could meet them again thanks to a great story. One of the tales from the mythical Enchiridion that became a worldwide cultural phenomenon.

Pendelton Ward’s creation was born on 2007 as a short on Nickelodeon, but that network didn’t think it was material for a full series. In a very clever move, Cartoon Network, where Pen was working on Flapjack (the mothergum of 2010′s animated series) on those years, did think it was a good series and gave Adventure Time green light.

In eight years Adventure Time went from the adventures of a 12 year old boy, Finn Mertens, and his magical shapeshifting dog, Jay T Dawgzone Jake, on a post apocalyptic world to a coming of age story that has nothing to envy of John Hughes movies.

The first three seasons the Finn wants to be a hero no matter what the consequences. On fouth and fifth seasons, our little dude falls into love games of infatuation, teen love and broken hearts. Family and existential dramas are shown on its sixth season, in which the tone is darker and deeper. The final three seasons show Finn discovering who he is, why he has a heroic behaviour, learns to cope with depresion and anxiety with his other part, Fern, and, different to his younger self, learns that not everything has to be solved with violence.

Alongside Finn we have a cast that grew up with him and were key to the main story:

Bonnibel Bubblegum: an 827 year old princess that looks like a 19 year old one that learned not to be manipulative all the time and has to lean on her friends to solve her problems and chill out.

Marceline Abadeer: a +1000 year old vampire queen (that also looks 19) who survived a nuclear war and heir to the Hell throne that realises she can’t escape from her troubles all the time and need her friends beside her. Especially her loved one, PB.

Simon Petrikov/Ice King: he used to be an archaeologist cursed by a magic crown with antediluvian magic that turned him into mental insanity and looks for his fiancée/princess to say one last goodbye.

BMO: they have the purpose of entertain a young boy, the possible son of their creator that didn’t have because he also didn’t have time to make one, who have some journeys where they found out where they come from and learns about life and death.

Jake: a magical dog who efusively lives under the YOLO rules and skips way too much some important moments like his children breed. Through seasons he learns he needs contention and tries to be a better dad by supporting his pups.

The fight between good and evil can’t be absent from this epic tale. A bunch of major enemies appear such as The Lich as the personification of Evil on Earth, a Grass Curse that brings lots of problems in later seasons, the Vampire King that awakens after a thousand years, a wacky scientist who did hideous experiments on animals and humans and a primordial god that seeks destruction. There’re also other enemies who were defeated in one or two episodes.

Love is a fundamental element of the series. Finn went through infatuations and teen love, satisfy himself through a fantasy that pulls a break up with Flame Princess (his first girlfriend), his unloving dad and loving virtual mom and the spiritual conection with Huntress Wizard towards the end of the show. That feeling can also drive someone mad, like Betty trying to save Simon and almost destroying the world twice.

But the most notorious demonstration of love of the series was the one between Marceline and Bonnibel. Shown distant from the begining because of a mutual distance, they were getting closer and closer as long as the series was reaching the end and the climax was with a long awaited kiss during the end of the world after Marcy went bersek when she saw Bonnie almost dead after a GOLB monster attacked her. That LGBTQ kiss was very important for inclusive representation in animation, a taboo that is luckily disappearing little by little.

We can’t leave behind the crew who made Adventure Time possible. Pen Ward was in charge for four seasons until he stepped down. Adam Muto replaced him with profit the creator’s project. Storyboarders and writers staff that were in the series left to create big hits:

Patrick McHale: part of the core of what was Adventure Time on its first seasons, he did in parallel the extraordinaire Over The Garden Wall. A 10 part miniseries themed in Halloween that was an instant hit and every October is revisited by fans.

Rebecca Sugar: the best alumni for many fans. They left on Season 5.1 to create Steven Universe, CN’s powerhosrse nowadays.

Ian Jones-Quartley: he went with their girlfriend, Sugar, to Steven Universe. His short, Lakewood Plaza Turbo, was greenlit and it was renamed to OK KO. An awesome cartoon with 90s spirit on its own.

Julia Pott: she created a short that was premiered in Sundance festival called Summer Camp Island. It got an award and the network gave it green light for a full series. With her, many members of Adventure Time crew went there and has a tone that’s familiar with AT’s first season.

Voice actors were also a key role in their interpretation of characters. Big names such as John DiMaggio or Tom Kenny mixed with the aging Jeremy Shada that grew up alongside Finn so the production didn’t have to change his voice actor as it happens in many shows. And, as I did in previous reviews, Olivia Olson was amazing playing Marceling but also by singing: from mourning about the last fries on Earth to doing a terrific Mitski cover back on Season 7.

Of course, a big hit series can have big guest actors voicing characters. Names such as Ron Perlman, Neil Patrick Harris, Maria Bamford, Mark Hamill and many more also gave life to Ooo’s big characters.

We say fare thee well to an epic story. Nine seasons, or chapters, that explored with creativity real life situations ambiented in a post-apocalyptic world. A story that gave us back faith on animation, despite network’s mistreatment in the final seasons. A show that wasn’t only child’s game, because animation is for everybody. Listening to the Music Hole sing sweet songs, she rock our souls while we ask what time is it.
