Happy Easter–but one more Very Serious Post–some beautiful truths learned by ageing out of an abusive household

*glances at title* Hello my friends! A glorious and blessed Easter to you all. I hope you have a wonderful day with your families. Remember O Thou Man 2023 is finished–I was only tagged in one post (here), so I didn’t end up doing a full wrap-up. But I hope you all enjoyed what I […]

Remember, O Thou Man Week 5: The Way of the Cross feat. one of my most ambitious fanfolktions

Tallyhi my friends! How’s the world with you? Hopefully not too busy? Taking care of yourself? *raises eyebrow* Good. Don’t burn out too hard. You need some energy left to have a fruitful Holy Week. In my case, any burnout that is happening is due to trying to prepare for a fruitful Holy Week. Choir […]

Remember, O Thou Man Week 4: Why Solzhenitsyn is in My Top 3 Historical Figures, feat. more ‘Four Last Things’ than some might be able to stomach

Tallyhi friends! How are you on this fine Monday to end all Mondays? *waits for response* Oh it’s not Monday when you’re reading this? I wish I could time travel. I’m a pretty patient person, especially with spreadsheets, so let me tell you I don’t say lightly that we are all sort of losing our […]

Remember, O Thou Man Week 3: A Lenten Meditation, as sketched out by the Hand of the Artist In A Soul I Once Knew

Title kinda says it all. If you’ve read the sister post, you sort of know what I’m about to do. If not, I don’t really know how to explain it to you, so I’m just gonna launch in. Actually, I take that back. I think this one needs some more clarity. Although first: hi. How […]

Remember, O Thou Man Week Two: I swear this discussion of Hadestown is Really Quite Relevant

IT IS REALLY QUITE RELEVANT. If I were a character in Greek mythology, I would swear on the River Styx. Just…read it. And then I dare you to tell me it’s not applicable. Also hi. How are you, my friend? Are you taking care of yourself? Just because life is busy and it’s Lent doesn’t […]

Remember O Thou Man Week One: Judas, Despair, and a Smattering of Fan Folktion

Tallyhi my friends! Now before you say anything: I did actually mean to start this out punctually. I meant to post this first post of the ‘event’ last Monday, or even on Ash Wednesday. Unfortunately, though, your girl fell horribly sick with the Doomful Virus that Shall Not Be Named. I’ve had it before and […]

Announcing Remember, O Thou Man 2023 (+ a few other things)

How is it already almost Lent again. Ahem. I assume a lot of you know the drill already, but in case you don’t, allow me to explain. And elaborate. And bring out new graphics. And ramble about some unrelated stuff. Tallyho! Lent is a Formidably Neat Thing So Lent, of course, is the period of […]

Fan Folktion: High Tragedy–feat. one of the saddest songs I know and some reflections on original sin therein

Good morrow, my merry friends. I hope all are well! ^don’t ask me why the super antiquated greeting. I have no rhyme or reason and that’s just the way it is. Okay so I’ve been promising you guys a fan folktion for a few weeks now. Here we have it. Without further ado, then, let […]

Farewell to the Liturgical Season of Christmas–macabre Victorian style

Okay, I am well aware that this post may have been far more apropos earlier on. But I didn’t think of it till now and I didn’t want to wait another year to do it because I really want to share these with you guys. But also Christmas is not quite over, liturgically speaking (it […]

Know the Novel Part Two: Within ‘And After That, The Dark’

Tallyhi, yis’ beauts. (To use the Colm Mcguinness terms. Erm, the latter bit. Tallyhi is a Grim only thing. I think.) I think the title is fairly self explanatory. And unfortunately, I haven’t much time to introduction and gallivant and all that, as I’m writing this in a stolen half hour on Sunday evening. So […]
