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 ► 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
www.poetryfoundation.org/poet...
The Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
www.poetryfoundation.org/poem...
Kubla Khan also by Samuel Taylor Coleridge

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

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.

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 ^^

You've remembered the rememberer to the extent you can recite it... Even just bits and pieces would be to much for my brain i can't even remember the words to my favorite song or piece which song is playing until the coarse comes in and even still the name of the song is out of reach for me i envy what the human brain can do and wish so deeply that I could remember if I could I would recite this daily but I've watched this video on repeat and come back to it every so often and cant rememeber even the name of the video if it wasn't saved in a playlist I made I fear id forget it ever existed I once remembered that it does exist but couldn't find it and panicked I felt empty and upon finding the video again had a heart touching moment only comaprable to a rebirth through religion my entire heart was clenched as if i had never seen this video pior but bits and pieces struck me as if they were lyrics in a song i had once heard passing by and to this day I come back to this video and cry my eyes out because I will never remember my heart breaks daily knowing that I know so little about my own surroundings and where I stand on this forsaken land I wish I could commit something to memory I sit here now knowing all I know could be lost tomorrow except for a few unforgettable things such as my love and the language I speak i once knew a good bit of Spanish but that has long since passed as did the memories of a younger me I'm 20 but my oldest memory is from when I was 15 its vague but thats when I met my love and so much had changed since then I should know but placing what haven't a clue I wake up and all that I know is i have a job and a love and family but id forget I have friends if they didn't text me id forget I like music if other people didn't play it sometimes if forget there's a world of wonder if someone didn't show me and ID forget the horrors of the world if I didn't see the news everyday the world I live in is so vastly different from anyone else's that my heart breaks when I remember that other people remember things when I hear someone singing from memory I feel envy jealous sadness and sometimes a weird sort of joy as i get to here that song for the first time again and again... I want to be a creator but I fear that I cannot make it muscle memory as they remember more than my brain does I want to make music art something that had a positive impact on the world but I feel negative towards even remotely trying to because tomorrow I will forget I even tried to tomorrow I will forget today and I simply cannot remember or even fathom how someone else can I cant process that people live in a entirely different world than I do it breaks me down and the only thing I have to build me up is hope and love and a dream that one day I won't have to remember anyways I can just exist and be free to forget as time passes and loved ones die and o forget they existed I can just sleep and forget and one day die

@@potatobros3347 You could try capturing your feelings and memories in drawings. In case you forget and want to refeel them or just simply remember them. Keeping a diary could also be a nice idea. Write a few lines every time you feel like it and it's done. By the end you'll have a tapestry of all your life from this point and you'll be able to go back to whenever whenever you like.

​@@potatobros3347 about that music thing, make your memories into songs. But as far as i can tell you know enough to do your work and all that is to do with English. So my thinking is that you tell yourself you don't know, but actually do remember, in case you didn't know, believes can shape the perception of your surroundings and since you believe that, your ability to remember is self sabotaged, after some time it becomes self reinforcing. Get some medical help because that is not normal, even people with dementia remember stuff, just not learn new things.

The path of humanity currently to lead to two destinations from my knowledge -either we stay on the path we are on right now till its point of no return, refuse to learn to look at where we are going and choosing to stay in the illusion of what we have in the present. Money, fame, that useless thing you bought off amazon the other day, they will be gone eventually. However, it isn't looking like we are seeing this. Most of the people who rule us and run this 8 billion gear clockwork we call society (and a lot of other people who do not have that responsibility) have proven to be some of the most incapable and close minded people (Ironically, the people in power who do the best job using it normally have the smallest share of power). Their is only a few years of that oil, and I doubt we will be liking the end result of its depletion. Where this path of ignorance and self destructive selfishness will lead to? Probably destruction and chaos. -However, Their is another path. If we allow ourselves to look to be successful in the long run of civilization on mass and treat power and control over society as a responsibility and put people of responsibility, intelligence, resourcefulness, determination, wit, bravery and good intentions for that task, we may thrive as a society and be known as the species who defied our own grave fate made by our elders hands, override our mistakes for the sake of a better world that could last for millennia or (if we nail this well enough) eons We have more power than any species that came before had. We can either chose to take that responsibility and improve our world to help the generations of tomorrow. Or we can choose to take the path we are on now, either killing ourselves suddenly, or slowly descending into madness chaos. Every day, every hour, every second of your life, your parents lives, your neighbors lives, your friends lives, your girlfriend or boyfriends lives, your coworkers lives we go farther towards the event horizon of our own fate at our own hands. We can still change it, as long as we don't pass that point, but every second that passes this change to the second path requires more power, more will, more determination, which all at once is becoming a scarcity among our world. The clock is ticking ladies and gentlemen. Every soul that takes up the will to defy our own ignorance is a slight push against the tide leading to destruction. with enough determination, wit, bravery, resourcefulness, responsibility and intelligence, we can reverse this path entirely and build a world beyond our wildest dreams.

My dad's passing was hard. Demntia made the final years of his life a malaise of melocholy miasma. The struggle to retain the thoughts of inspirational rhetoric he bestowed unto me was made harder each day, yet something during this time of caring for him happened... I ended up being the one to inspire. When I brewed his daily coffee, when we sat and talked, I patiently awaited for the waxing clarity of his waining mind to be brought forth. Sometimes I'd get to have my dad back for 5 minutes... those were the happiest days I could ever get. Sometimes he'd be gone behind the fog, and my hopes that he would return again kept me going. It's those short moments of talking to the real version of my father that made caring for him worth it. And though he never told me, I knew behind my father's eyes that he was always proud of the man I had become. I was fortunate enough to have my dad's " true moment of clarity" a full hour in which he dispelled nothing but the love he had for me and the lack of fear he had for going to the other side. I feel that whatever awaits him, must be better than being trapped in a vessel where the lights are dimming.

I have never understod poetry, I have never understod the art of it. But now, now i question that stance. I think after this I do understand poetry. 15 years old, death anxiety, a head that is fucking killing me, and a family I don't ever want to spend time with. I do not fear anything other then death and other people. I do not fear anything more then growing old and losing who i am, i do not fear any other thing more then losing my loved ones and freinds. But in the end i am selfish, i would rather live a 1000 years with only myself then live a human life with friends around me. One can't make an educated choice on this matter until they have lived a 1000 years, but the choice I am making right now is to fear death more then anything else. I want my thoughs, my mind and soul, i want me, to still be around when the skys turn red. I want me to still be around when we will have to leave earth because we could only live in the mercy of or sun for so long. I want to be on that rocket that takes us to a new world. I want to help with my knowledge and my strength. I want to se poeple change, i want to see children grow up. I want to experience everything there is to experience before i die. If i did not die before i had experinced everything i would stay forever. But i am mearly 15 years of age. I do not have the wisdom to answer the question i ask myslef, "When i die, will i be happy with my life or will i long for more?" When i die will i not stay longer, dont i want to do something more on this gods forsaken planet? Will i not want to keep feeding my human desires like i have done all my life and will continue doing? Nay, this 15 year old does not understand poetry. He does only understand that ofter this poem he was a crying mess not being able to get the fear of death out of his head. He does not understand poetry, I only understand my fears, and that I do all to well.

Okay, this is one of the BEST pieces of literature I have heard/read (?) in my life, until this point. It's so emotional, impactful, entertaining, and engaging throughout. I honestly cannot articulate my thoughts about this AT ALL. The ending, the language, the patches of humor and the plot twist, all of it so brilliant and wonderful and amazing! Probably no one will read this, but I feel the need to get my thoughts out there. Stuff I Thought of During the Video ---- SPOILERS AHEAD At 11:48 the friend of sorts says, ' in their empty heads,' and the main character was called empty head by his grandfather in the letter--so perhaps he was one of the people from the barbaric times, and his 'friend' is his grandfather? Or maybe the grandfather bit is a bit of a stretch? Idk. I'm still watching it through. EDIT: Woah! I love how the seven and eight were memorizing a certain book or speech, to jot down on their new homeworld--just like in Fahrenheit 451, and I know Exurb1a's fond of Ray Bradbury, so I think that's a neat allusion (whether intentional or not)! Or maybe I'm just overlooking into things... EDIT: HOLY---so he's old? That must be why the woman said, 'Look at what the centuries have done to your memory,' and she says that he was from the generation of the fall, of the old world. That must be why he's also referred to as empty head... by his grandfather? The description says it's about the fear of ageing--maybe the fact that one day everyone will be in a nursery, being taken care of by nurses and doctors while their memories fade and their cognitive abilities decline, they get a sort of dementia and live hellishly, and then die.

My grandma passed away this week, not too much older then yours. I was okay till the dedication at the end. I haven't been able to cry about it yet, and you've gave me freedom to do so. She experienced wars, and her husband going off to war, and her the fear of her son's being drafted. She experienced famine, and drought, and plague. She nursed the sick back to health and she mourned the ones that she couldn't help. But she also experienced peace, and love, and community. She lived to do crafts and arts and coloring books with me and my siblings and cousin. We baked cookies and read books and watched movies. And she loved my family, she loved her children and grandchildren, and even got to live to meet her great grandchildren. She never raised her voice, or got upset. She never didn't have candy to sneak to the kids. She was always knitting, and making gifts and cards for Christmas and birthdays. She was strong, and wise, and she had love and kindness to give to everyone she met. She took care of strangers even in her old age until they had to take care of her. And in all of my 20 young years of life she didn't miss my birthday once. I love you Grandma. And I hope I'll be able to see you again someday.

@@juniper2739 I just found that it's about a "fear of ageing." I use philosophy(even art/music) to find understanding about meaningful and difficult subjects about life. I have criticisms about the utility of Poetry to convey meaning; mainly how it can communicate anything concisely, concretely, explicitly. I don't find Poetry useful for that reason, It works a lot like "Music" which allows its meaning to penetrate a person deeply, but i still don't know what it means... If the truth about the subject matter was easier to find in bedded within its communication, i'd like it, i can't find it so easily with poetry.

Thank you for this wonderful piece of art.

My grandmother had dementia too before she passed away, she forgot her home, her life, her being. But the one this she remembered was me. As she lied on her bed I was the only one she could recall, but as I was a child I was not there when she wispered my name then pass away as she did so. Though life has treated me harshly, and faded my emotions, this is the only memory that makes me cry. I wish you the best pantalimon, and remember; only the things no one remember, truly dies.

Yeah it's really hard. Dementia is a bitch. My grandmother had it the last 10 years before she died, gradually worsening. And I spent three years looking after the elderly, it's one of the most horrible diseases to witness. Don't forget her, go and visit her. So many families avoid going because they can be crazy and difficult, but it will make her day every time. Until she forgets who you all are... :/

I clicked on this by random chance yesterday, the day that my grandfather died. He was 98 and 3/4 years old, his birthday a mere 2 months away. He was every one of these things your grandmother was to you, and he was the last of a generation. I am currently crying and I just wrote what I felt. Thank you for this, I didn't realize I had all this feeling in me since I'm still numb at the moment. I love you granddad, you never gave up on me, and because of that, I don't think I'll ever give up on me either. Not because it's what I'd have done, but because it's what you no doubt are still doing. Thank you for believing in me, for telling me how proud you were of me every single damn day that I saw you, and for blessing me with story after story and knowledge and wisdom and care and love and joy and remembrance and all these things I can now only realize I took for granted. I will find the words to speak at your funeral, and I will muster the courage to stand up and do so, because ill be damned if its hard or if ill fall apart, because you were worth it all from the start. I was born into a family that loved and cherished me, headed by a man with the utmost dignity. And while I sit here a blubbering mess, crying and thinking of all that I missed and the days together I'll no longer get to have with you and the memories of your voice speaking my name that will only ever exist in my mind from now until forever, do I find some semblance of the words I wish I had told you. I love you granddad with all my heart, you were not just the head of our family with a big heart, but a friend and father that chose now he would part. I hope you're with grandmom up in the clouds and feel safer and warmer without a care in the world. I hope you two dance into infinity together and happy at last, no longer by the world now beneath you. You've given rise to a family that loves you deeper than ever and that feels broken but able to carry on your legacy. And as one of the only two children left with your name, my brother with the same, will I carry myself into the future with pride and with dignity that only you could have given me. I am afraid of the world but know that I can because I've had the best damn family in all the land watching me carefully and guiding me gently with a kind tender hand that I could always feel softly. So thank you for the life you've given me and the blessings of your words. Thank you for letting me travel with you and talk your ear off till the sun sets and the night takes the sky. Thank you for being my biggest fan and for loving me always, and for believing in me when the world seemed to have nothing left for me. Thank you for seeing the possibility and willing to bet it all on me, so you just watch from up there in the sky cuz I'm gonna make you damn proud. I fucking love you granddad. I'll see you when I see you, and thank you for having a birthday.

@mdsalimshahedshajid 2 года назад
@mytoenails I think this is referring to Aristotle's way of describing how conception works where he said that semen curdles inside the womb and form a baby much like how rennet is used to form cheese from milk. From the line 'ditching the milk' I'm thinking that the people in the story are infertile. They can have sex but won't get pregnant. That's what I got from this line.

@@DistantSon.2 Agreed. I read it as them having ditched the milk in that they're no babies suckling on their mother's teet no more and that they replaced it with debauchery & booze like one (mostly) does as a teen. And as you said, Aristotle was a seeker of answers, much like the protagonist in the story, so it's just a witty jab in line with the rhyming scheme of the story.
