All You Need Is Love: a Seasonal Trip Down Memory Lane with "Love Actually"

I feel it in my fingers. I feel it in my toes. We're finishing out my picks for this year's Nostalgia November and ringing in the holiday season with the Christmas classic, "Love Actually."

Content Warning: Love Actually contains depictions of workplace sexual harassment, womanizing, infidelity, annoying early 2000s fatphobia, low-key stalking, and parental/spousal death. Also, it��s very early 2000s, so it hasn’t aged perfectly but it’s still fun. Viewer discretion is suggested.  If you’re under the age of 18, stay in a child’s place. There’s nothing for you here.  Note: I’m…

An Adventure Time fansong I composed inspired by an excerpt from the 2015 tie-in novel The Enchiridion & Marcy's Super Secret Scrapbook!!! which expanded on Simon and Marcy's story in the show and detailed off-screen moments of their life together through their perspectives.

In the book, Marceline writes this poem after Simon leaves her in Everything Stays, and it was the moment that absolutely shattered me to read years ago and made their farewell in the episode thrice as heartbreaking :'> So when I revisited this book a few nights back, I suddenly thought it would be a neat idea if I gave Marcy's poem it's own melody:

This was super fun and emotional to put together and I really hope you all enjoy this just as much as I did arranging it <33 (also I don't know if any copies of this book are still available anywhere but if you do manage to spot it I HIGHLY encourage you to get it, especially if you're really into the Simon and Marcy lore of the show like I am <33)

Text version of lyrics below:

You're my old friend

I don't want you to go.

Is this really the end?

Please tell me no.

You said your mind

Was getting warped and hazy.

Before I was blind

To all of your crazy.

I still love the old you

I want you to know

There's too much we've been through

Do you have to go?

I hope you find peace

I hope you calm down

Please Simon don't lose yourself

To the crown

Last night I watched Love Actually with my dad and my grandfather and his partner. And that movie...I may have never felt romance in real life, but that movie makes me feel things. It's a beautiful movie, and I have to salute Richard Curtis for writing and directing it. The movie isn't just about romance; it's just about love. Love between a jaded rock star and his manager, love between a step-father and his step-son, love that crosses the language barrier, love between siblings (Laura Linney's tragic but beautiful story), love that's lost it's spark (Emma Thompson and Alan Rickman's story), unrequited love, love everywhere. Just... it's love. And isn't that beautiful? Love doesn't matter if it's platonic or romantic. It just is. Love just is. And it's all around.

And it's got such a great ensemble cast. Hugh Grant, Bill Nighy, Colin Firth, Emma Thompson, Alan Rickman, Liam Neeson, Laura Linney, Martin Freeman, the list goes on. Nevermind the minor roles from Rowan Atkinson and Olivia Olson (who went on to be an amazing voice actress). It's the modern, romantic, british, christmas version of that 60s classic It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. Large ensemble casts, great comedy and sentimentality, long lengths, they're similar movies (and they're both of a great caliber). I love both movies, and we need more movies like them. That's my personal opinion, at least.

I am having an existential crisis right now.

Discussing with my friends' bands we would have liked to meet or have met, it occurred to me that I was primarily naming guitarists. I thought to myself, surely, I don't have a type.

Someone please tell me. What do we call this type of problem?

Martin giving Carlo the huge dog bed when?!? 👀

Martin telling him “no, that’s not for you,” when Carlo puts his bag of clothes from Erik’s house on the guest bed. Carlo, used to a bed, is taken aback.

He knows when he sees it he should be grateful to have a soft warm bed at all, lots of pet don’t. but it does look like an oversized dog bed and he is a little humiliated. That’s the point of course.

Elite Capture: Democracy, Power, Oppression

Marx and Engels (1848) believed that states and markets allocated resources as a result of a vertical class struggle, the rich against the poor. However, I argue that the more significant struggle is horizontal, not vertical. Echoing Gilens and Page (2014), I propose that governments intervene in the economy primarily to serve the elite.
