I’m sure we’ve all been through that phase when you just want to make 30 minute thinly veiled monochrome allegories about your fear of ageing.
Books what I wrote, yo â–ș tinyurl.com/ycnl5bo3

Bonus trivia: This video is not finished. But if I don’t let it go now, I will be.
The beginning fell into my head several months ago. I assumed it would take a few weeks to make, at most. Little did I know it would sprout multiple heads and take over my life for two and a half months. If you didn’t enjoy watching it, take comfort that I didn’t enjoy making it. (Just jokez. Thanks for watching my stuff as always, and hope you’re well :) )

Bonus bonus trivia: The original title was supposed to be "The Nine Isles of Neverdead", but google told me Neverdead is already a thing; apparently a video game about demons and stuff.

I'm sorry this one took a while. I'm especially sorry to folks on Patreon. I think I told you it would only be another week about three weeks ago? Apologies, but I didn't want to put the thing out half baked.

A very, very big thank you to a friend who wishes to go by the name Jimmy Cakeshoes. When the editing was almost done, it was impossible to render the video because my PC kept having little meltdowns and locking up. One genius technical fix later from Dr. Cakeshoes and all was well. Big love to you, man.

The poems mentioned at the end are:

The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock by T. S. Eliot

The Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/43997/the-rime-of-t


Kubla Khan also by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/43991/kubla-khan

I fully admit to stealing that line from the end of The Great Gatsby.

This is my third time watching this, and I just realised that this story is presented in the PAST TENSE! This means that he has remembered, and is recalling what happened!

I’m rewatching this for like the 10th time over the years and just noticed that at 11:58 you referred to the ones who waged war as “empty heads” the way the “main character” was called at the beginning, alluding to the twist at the end. Such a great video

For poetry, I cannot write. But every night I take battle And every morning I fight The same war as my every kin And though repeated, I never win Through this existence, I cannot take solace The beginning, middle and end are all a terror As each one feels like an incredible error. In search for answers, I retire shaken and tired No original thought can bring the peace I desired And so, I return to your perception of life For poetry, I cannot write.

this is one of the greatest works i’ve ever seen – a pure, deep illustration of dementia & age and the art & prose conjurable by the human mind – truly amazing

It’s lovely that this was dedicated to his grandmother, also the ending might have made me tear up a little

I just had a wholesome thought about this story. Like pretty much every single time when I'm bored I recited The Rememberer in my head to the extent that I remembered it. Now, a moment ago I noticed it was written in the past tense and in the first person perspective from the grandfather's view. So what I got from that is that he remembered the whole thing. Since the story ended in him remembering poems and the old days together with his grandson I made this theory that they decided to write down all that happened that day, for the grandfather will have to return to the nursery at some point. So that would mean they remembered the day they had together and wrote it down so the grandfather could look back at that day and make sure until his last days he will at least remember he had a grandson. We just got to read that text they both worked on together, which, in my opinion, is a pretty wholesome thing. Maybe this was just really obvious and you people got all that immediately but well. It also took me about three rewatches to even understand what is happening ^^

Can’t stop crying starting from 23:00 till the end. This reminds me of my grandfather who has recently started to lose his memory and barely remembers me. But i do remember him and all the things he did for me. I love my grandfather and I remember everything for the both of us.
