While I'm on my uploading spree, consider: scruffy, sleepy, pre-shaven bedhead Marvin (and Whizzer absolutely simping over him)

the only acceptable way to watch falsettos

[shiggybruh]

i be doing so fine and then someone says "photographer whizzer who was always the one to take photos so the only photos of whizzer with everyone else they have is the ones that trina took in the hospital" and i immediately trip and get ran over by a car in the middle of the living room

Marvin trilogy posting again

I noticed a difference between the In Trousers 1979 version of Another Sleepless Night and the 1985 version.

1979 version: “I know this girl. I call her my wife. She is my wife. She is my thorn in the bushes. No happy endings and no fuss. What a girl, what a saint, what a wife ain't is my wife. So I sleep in a bed too big for one person. I'm big for one person. But this bed is bigger than both of us...”

1985 version: “He never stops, this Whizzer Brown. I need my sleep. Five times a night, he’ll request it; I wanna rest it. (It will keep.) All he wants - what he wants, is a body that won't fuss. So we sleep in a bed too big for two people. It's big for two people but this bed is bigger than both of us.”

The 1979 version implies that Marvin is alone in bed, and so he reminisces on his relationship with his wife. The line “I'm big for one person. But this bed is bigger than both of us” refers to the fact that both him and Trina were out of their depths when they got together, but still Marvin feels alone. He misses having someone with him, even if he wasn’t attracted to them.

In the 1985 version, he is completely caught up in the passion that Whizzer provides in his life. He’s fulfilled but it’s taxing having to keep up with Whizzer’s needs. I always interpreted the line “So we sleep in a bed too big for two people. It's big for two people but this bed is bigger than both of us” as sex being the defining characteristic of their relationship. And later lines in the song reveal that Marvin believes this should make him happy, but it doesn’t. He still feels alone, despite getting what he thought he wanted.

I think that both of these interpretations really add to the lyric “Marvin always gets the things he wants, except the things he wants” Marvin has contradictory wants by nature, and it’s a huge part of his character development to realize what *specifically* he wants (ie. “I want it all” to “I never wanted, I wanted- I never, never, never, never, never, never wanted to love you!” to All I want is you”)
