I Remember You: Simon's Lament (Adventure Time)

[@bluguy4149]

Something that i never seen people mentioning is how strong Simon's will is, Farmworld Fin went mad minutes after puting the crow , Simon resisted the curse for years before finally losing it. really puts into perpective how strong he truly is and how much he cared about marceline.

[@ancientbruh]

youre right but also simon only wore it for minutes at a time

[@bluguy4149]

@@ancientbruh at some point he Just kept It on , we Can see when simon leaves Marceline It looked like he had started wearing It at ALL times.

[@alexdoll4258]

I think it's partly because of Simon's more gentle and calm personality, that is why even if he was mischievous as IK he never really did evil things, meanwhile Finn was impulsive, confrontational, emotional (in a more violent way) and prone to violence. This is why Finn went postal so quick compared to Simon in my opinion.

[@Skyte100]

And he's the only one that resisted the crowns desire to freeze the world. He is actually the most powerful character in the roster but he doesn't allow himself to use the full power of the crown.

[@globurim]

To be fair, Simon is more mature than farmworld Finn who is just a teen and probably can't handle emotions and the like yet.

[@ElderBugGames]

I think the biggest punch in the second song of the episode is the implication that the reason Marceline kept moving like in her first appearance was to avoid Ice King and what he represents to her

[@RaeontheLeft]

But it is also beautiful because, to me, it implies even as the Ice King Simon is still in there looking out for Marceline

You forgot to mention that this entire trip was likely whatever was left of Simon trying to tell Marcy about what happened to his mind. Ice King's whole idea of going to see her to write a song, the fact that he was caring the right clippings. And who even knows how many times he's tried to do this. A sliver of sanity inside a torrent of madness, trying to guide a single message.

[@commanderfoxxv7433]

I was 8 the first time I remember seeing this episode, and I watched it with my great grandmother. She never especially liked Adventure Time - she just thought it was a stupid kid’s cartoon - but she knew I did, and so she would always record it for me so I could watch it when I got home from school. This time, for whatever reason, she decided to sit down and watch it with me, and by the end, when Ice King and Marceline are singing together about the gradual loss of Simon and by extension their relationship to dementia, we were both crying. I didn’t know why it made me feel sad at the time, and when I asked my grandmother she refused to give me an explanation, saying I wouldn’t understand unless I figured it out myself. A few years later, she started showing signs of Alzheimer’s, and since then has been falling ever deeper into the haze of her own mind. I’m 18 now, and one of the greatest things I’ve found about getting older and *marginally* wiser is returning to old media and finding new meanings that were previously hidden from me as a child, and I realize now that my grandmother was probably crying because she knew she was already starting to lose track of things, and likewise I probably knew the same to some extent. Today, she oftentimes can barely remember my name, and as such I can scarcely bring myself to visit her anymore for fear of confronting the shell of what I’ve lost, but every now and then she has moments of sudden clarity - usually brought on by old pieces of media that she held dear in her younger days - where we can hold a coherent conversation and reminisce on what we once had, and those moments give me hope, however briefly, that she’s still there. I’m so glad I got to watch this episode with her while she was still all together, and I’ll never let go of the good memories she gave me. But sometimes I wonder, if I were to show her this episode, and I sat down and watched it with her, would she remember her grandson sitting on the floor of her living room asking why a cartoon was making him cry? Would she remember crying with him, knowing that to answer would only confuse and upset him? Would she see me then, 10 years after the fact, and know that I understand now, and would give anything to spend just one minute with her as I so desperately want to remember her? Would she remember me?

[@miab-p6874]

Thank you for sharing this. Your story made me tear up. This is so very touching and I'm sorry that this happened to both of you. If I could reach through the screen to hug you now, I would. Take care, man ❤

[@zoe6174]

That's both heartwarming and heartbreaking. Your grandma sounds so sweet, but sadly Alzheimer is terrible... I would try to show her the episode one more time, though.

[@thenormalformalandhormonal8531]

When my grandfather had leukemia, it was hard for me to see him in that much pain. I was also scared that the next time i visited him would be the last. Instead of confronting what i felt, i isolated myself away. There is nothing in my life i regret more than putting off visiting him before i couldn't anymore. I understand why you don't visit her as often as you did before. Dispite whatever state she is in though, please visit her. She may not remember you, but thats not what is important. What's important is that you remember the love she had for you, and even if she doesn't understand, you show her how much you love them back, while you still can

[@Occultist_Anonymous]

thank you for sharing this with us, I'm sorry for what you lost, hug the people you love

[@ruthlesace]

I had to go through this with my great grandmother and her son my grandfather. It hurts, and always will, the best thing is to stay with them until they get very bad. My grandfather stated off by forgetting where he put things, ended up getting bad enough they had to take his license, then he'd forget how to get dressed and if diverting didn't do it for him he wouldn't be able to get it, throughout all of that he actually stayed himself he KNEW what was going on and who was with him he just couldn't think right or remember right. There a point though where they lose themselves completely, a little after the needing help getting dressed, once that happens that's when it's actually best to not go see them, it confuses and stresses them out allot. But sometimes WE need to keep seeing them, so do what you feel you need to, and I'm sorry you have to go through this too.

ice king always going after bubblegum (more than the other princesses) makes me believe that her being a scientist related that part to betty in a way (even if it wasn’t meant that way idk if it was but it does make me deal with him doing weird stuff better though) this is an amazing episode listening to the song always makes me emotional!

The Mother Gum also helped Simon with Marcy when she got sick, so his mind might also have recalled this as some close connection between them

The same can apply to Doctor Princess. Who I think is the second most common target of Ice King's affections.

[@Cri_Jackal]

PB is _weirdly_ similar to Betty on a lot of levels, her being a bit of an amoral psycho may have been the thing separating her from the normal human being that was Betty, but once Betty gets to Ooo she very quciky reaches the same level of moral disregard.

[@elesfinter9753]

You have to be there man, nowdays there's plenty of kids shows that try to blend serialized and episodic styles. But none are as special as adventure time. You just didn't see these tragic backstories with side characters in an apocalyptic world on a kids' show. It was unheard of. Adventure Time was so special because it respected kids' intelligence and not saw them as idiots, and it had the balls to do this kind of episodes which everyone loves.

[@zombinary3138]

Fr, I watched Holly Jolly Secrets the day it aired on CN expecting a funny Christmas special and instead I was left with existential dread and a sadness that I didn’t even have the exact source of until the next Monday ( because we only got one episode a week which sounds wild with streaming services nowadays lol) and then I was hooked. Every single week I’d wait just to see if it was another Simon and Marcy episode lmao. It also gave Marcy more character because before Simon and Marcy arc , she was kind of a jerk and not really easy to understand with the full picture.

This episode and the song "Remember You" really hit me hard earlier this year. I started watching AT for the first time and got to this episode just around when I started dealing with some really bad neurological issues. I was dealing with tremors, migraines, dizzy spells, and, yes, even hour-long memory gaps. In other words, I was "losing myself" like Simon did. I was off at college and didn't have many friends. I could barely leave my house. I felt so scared and alone. Listening to "Remember You" during that time made me feel seen and helped me get through so much. I can't explain in words how much this episode means to me and other people who have dealt with memory loss and dementia, whether in themselves or friends and family ❤

[@garrettviewegh9028]

Huntsman Avadear was the father Marcaline had. But Simon was the father she needed. Seeing his face every time, was like seeing the warped memory of the real father she’d lost. But after crying her heart out to lament one of the most selfless and compassionate humans left in Ooo, she’d been able to move on, and see that, while Simon was gone, Ice King still had that same kindness deep down.

i dont know if this is the episode to bring it up but i wish you had touched on the parallels of Marcy and Magic Betty. Marcy learns that Simon is gone and she can just be chill with ice king while Betty becomes obsessed with trying to bring Simon back. she almost became friends with ice king in the Patience St. Pim episode (i think). they both have fun being crazy but then Betty finds new hope of bring him back and rekindles her obsession. i would like you to talk about how Betty and Marcy are the only people who knew/miss Simon *and* now are left with ice king

[@luqmanfariswan4024]

I'm mad that none of them properly meet each other even when the series ended. Marcy could even try to help Betty deal with this grief and probably spark a mother-daughter dynamic that Marceline hasn't experience ever since she was a kid.

That quick assessment of the No Smoking shirt hit me really hard, because I had never picked up on that, and yet your assessment made a lot of sense, and the implications are profound.

[@777Rowen]

One of my favorite episodes of the whole show. I still get teary eyed. Great discussion

[@RoseMultiverse]

My grandmother (who has had iffy morals before so I have complex feelings about this) has dementia so I totally resonate with this in a way. She met me post-transition and said she probably once knew me, that I’m beautiful, but that she doesn’t currently know who I am. It’s bittersweet. 💜

[@SunBeeSmoked]

I read somewhere that this episode came about by pulling two character names out of a hat or something like that, it’s really cool that one of the deepest episodes and one that changed the trajectory of the show came about because they felt the normal character combos were getting stale.

[@SunBeeSmoked]

(Note: I could be totally wrong about this and it might just be a rumor, I never fact checked this one)

[@ShizuruNakatsu]

I still remember the first three episodes of Adventure Time I ever saw: "Trouble in Lumpy Space", "The Real You", and "Simon & Marcy"... What a spectrum of episodes.

[@FishFishoutFeet]

I love how ice king gets to say to Marceline what he probably always wanted to say for a long time "Please forgive me for whatever I do. When I don't remember you.". All these lyrics are what he's probably kept inside for the sake of small Marceline. But it's even better with the fact that he's apologising for someone he knows he inevitably will be, and all he can do is watch as all this will happen. And we (sadly) have proof and conformation of that person, right in front of us. The ice king. Who sees no meaning in those words anymore other than cool lyrics. I know probably everyone knows this, but I find it to be such a great and incredible scene.

[@hattoripool1533]

This is the one episode I remember basically changing everything we knew about the Ice King. And to be honest I kind of liked it even back then

[@ARandomEliatrope]

this episodes worst crime was the cut to finn and jake saying "whats going on in there?!" MID SONG. AND IN THE OFFICIAL SOUNDTRACK, IN THAT EXACT SPOT OF THE SONG, THEY MAKE THE SONG MUFFLED BECAUSE OF THEM SPEAKING. so there is genuinely no full version of the song with the two singing clearly all the way through just because finn and jake felt the need to make a comment in the middle of it.

[@KuroKitten]

I wrote this show off as mostly "not for me" until I saw clips from "Holly Jolly Secrets", which opened up a level of depth to the show I didn't think was there - but, it's how "I Remember You" followed up on that reveal that really sold this show to me; I still tear up every time I watch it. It truly set the tone for what adventure time was going to become, and recontextualized so much about the earlier episodes that made them worth watching for me.

[@learn2chillax]

Man, your talk [up to 8:54 since I paused to type this out] made my 2 brain cells connect and realize something. Marceline, despite all the pain, still chose to interact with Ice King going forward after this even if Simon is long gone (at least for the time being as far as she and we the audience knew). One could argue Marcy calling him "Simon" shows a sense of denial that he's gone but Marcy doesn't try to get her Simon back, but gets to know Ice King potentially even seeing him as a looney father figure (who, mind you, she wanted PB to accept him during that dinner sess despite the kidnapping history an such), even if she's calling him a name that he doesn't remember going by. This is a interesting thing to realize when you remember Betty and then her transition into Magic Woman. Betty but more so Magic Woman, desperate to get Simon back, ignores Ice King being a person, HIS own person. To give credit where it's due, MW did try to see Ice King as a person as per Magic Manticore's advice (since the person she's looking for is likely long dead or WILL die without the crown or so keeping him alive in a twisted way). It's unknown if MW would've liked Ice King after spending enough time with him because remember when she tried, Patience St. Pim fucked it up by kidnapping MW to use as a battery and then that mess lead into the Elementals Mini Series and by the time MW tried so again, she had a means in front of her to get Simon back and maybe if if the temptation was there and if she had more time, maybe things would've gone differently. Or maybe not. It's interesting to note that, I think Marcy is able to move on since she knew Simon as a young kid and even as a Vampire Demon who may also suffer from MMS (magic, madness and sadness). If the vampires don't count for magic in nature, then it makes a decree of sense why Marcy didn't go off the deep end sooner, if they do, Marcy has her Restraining Bolts in the form of PB (childhood romance/a long living person who'd understand Marcy the most when it comes down to it), Finn (a reminder of the good she did of her past, her lost humanity, humanity itself, etc), etc. Now thinking about it, if it's the latter, maybe that's another reason why Marcy has Ice King in her live again, bonds may ease MMS's symptoms and make said person feel grounded in a way. 11:15 HAMBO Can we talk about the doll symbolism rq? (Hell this sounds like a fun video idea, haha) Hambo was given to Young Marcy by Simon, showing it's and Simon's emotional care for Marcy growing up even if the latter ends up gone but then her asshole ex, Ash sold it, show how he doesn't care for Marceline, only for PB, another ex of Marcy's to give her back Hambo from the Sky Witch, despite Marcy leaving out the details of why she asked for PB's help (and as later on revealed, they had a bad break up on both ends having their own issues). PB still helped despite not understanding a toy's value but DOES still care about Marcy enough to know that "It means a lot to Marcy, so it's still important." And then it's Marcy who gives up Hambo for good to help out Simon, and it ends up bringing Betty into the future, to sooner give Simon a happy end. Marcy willingly giving up Hambo says so much. She's repaying the kindness Simon gave to her centuries ago and also, it feels like Marcy was mentally okay enough to do so, since she actually has a friend and support group now even if she still has issues to work through to show that she cares and such. It's so beautiful to me. 11:42 "She has to deal with a constant reminder..." You putting this out also makes me think. I cannot help but feel like with how Marcy, likely having a form of PTSD from getting turned, she has to wake up everyday living through that but by seeing Simon's poems, she able to sooner make peace there and accept what happened. It felt like a step she had to take before trying to take the future steps to try to self improve (removing and later accepting her vampirism). Also, idk if some people are unhappy Simon came back at the end of Adventure Time to stay but I'm happy he did. Marcy has suffered so much in her life, she deserves many bones to be thrown at her to get more happy endings in there. Also Also, it's probably obvious from the essay I wrote, lmao but Marceline is probably my top favorite character in the show. At first glance, I just found her cool and awesome but over the years, I found myself relating to her beyond surface level, especially when the Stakes! Miniseries happened and beyond. Feeling so lonely and sad, and while wanting friends, feeling like they cannot understand your struggles and on some level, you don't want them to because then, they'll become as damaged and broken as your are, and you don't want that for people you care about. And also the fear of losing them due to the truths about you. So even if you have friends, you emotionally keep them at arm's length. But to anyone feeling that way, things do get better and like with a lot of things in life, you have to fight to get her happier ending. Marcy is truly my Queen, and one of my favorite Queens in animation history.

[@cyndaquinn159]

Man, it really makes sense why this is a universally loved and appraised fan-favorite. With all the emotional beats and just the right amount of humor sprinkled in, this is definitely one of the top 5 best episodes (for a lot of fans, I'd say). I remember watching this episode for the first time as a young teen and it felt like I gained consciousness. It will always have a really special place in my heart! Have you ever considered doing an episode on Blank Eyed Girl? It's legit my favorite episode of the show for it's great jokes and humor.

Then Rebecca sugar would give me Steven universe which fully changed my perspective and outlook on life and would further shake up the animation industry to have a large focus on telling emotional stories.

This episode is probably my favorite Adventure Time episode. When I was younger, I didn't fully understand this situation, but now, at 20 years old, I really get it. Especially the part where Ice King says that he's "so alone". That hit close to home, since I consider myself to be truly alone as well.

in the song "Nuts", i legitimately thought the lyrics went like "i thought you were nice. but your really. really. REALLY. not" for like the longest time until very recently when a clip of it from the cartoon network channel was recommended to me and thats when I realized the actual words. Maybe I was too young to realize since Ice king did push her and started blasting the ceiling so it made me think she was singing about him not being nice but either way it fits into the situation. actually maybe the reason I heard it is the same reason people hear "concrete jungle wet dream tomato" in that one Jay Z song "empire state of mind" ok im done talking. carry on with your day.

small aside theory. I wonder if part of the reason she likes eating red is because the gems in the crown are red. I wonder if she ever wants to just try eating them to get Simon back.

[@MikeHunt-zy3cn]

No, it's because it is similar to blood.

[@CEOofAutism]

Damn been watching this show since I was like 8 but going back and watching the old episodes older was crazy this shit made me tear up.

[@frog2098]

really good video for whats probably my favourite episode of the show but thats a tough decision, this show was so good

[@GeograpyCat1013]

Omg this is one of my faves (episodes and videos)

[@GeograpyCat1013]

This episode hits harder when I watch it after I’ve watched Simon and Marcy because it makes it even sadder that Simon doesn’t remember marceline😭

[@maxdon2001]

Great video!

[@trinstonmichaels7062]

Adventure time was such a good show.

[@petreneagu5943]

Can you make a video about "Burning Low"?🤠

[@doctorpobrezahd3625]

God, Hylics has such a good soundtrack.

[@tilwondeathy7402]

[@craz2580]

I cried so fricking much when i watched this episode like ...

[@halffictionalfreak]

As a note bc I loved it: the hair in front of her face also parallels Ice king’s nose:D

[@crawlingtiara1095]

My favorite episode in all of adventure time

[@matthewlecompte9730]

I never watched the finally completely but did we see a scene of simon returned with marchaline?

[@Mayo_Nayoo]

i always loved ice king...

[@pharoahcaraboo9610]

i stopped watching adventure time around i think season 6, feeling like what i wanted the show to be and what the show wanted to be weren't really compatible anymore (it was the one where finn grew his arm back gosh i was upset LOL) but it's kind of amazing the show stuck with this plot thread for so long. i remember the ice king slowly becoming an actual character. and now he's still getting developed as simon as recently as this year.

[@lololol707]

whats the song of the intro?

[@AmpleSamuel]

Battle (Alternate) - Hylics 2

[@coconuthun_2159]

i remember seeing this episode

[@coconuthun_2159]

im here again..

[@t84t748748t6]

this episode made me wanne watch al the adventure time episodes before that i was what is this weird cartoon it explains the world is just 1000 years after the bombs fell the side charecter got unkown dept not just silly fantasies and it got me emotionally invested in the joke character by a good song

[@-Speed2411]

Anyone remember the Lich jump scare when this episode first aired?

[@SupaCD]

FIona and Cake isn't a mini series is it?

[@MossMothMyBeloved]

Why is Marceline wearing a shirt with a no smoking symbol on it in this episode

[@BambiTP-hy1tz]

I feel like ice king says i remember you alot but maybe im remembering wrong

[@Mystic-Midnight]

I kinda hope there is not Interaction between Simon and Marceline in the upcoming series because it would defeat the satisfaction of Come Along With Me's ending

[@thelvadam8811]

Why wouldn't you want simon and marceline interacting with each other?

[@Mystic-Midnight]

@@thelvadam8811 I meant it more of I didn't want ice king, I just wrote the comment real late

[@suzyroseblossom]

Id love to know what your favorite episode in adventure time is

[@AmpleSamuel]
