Midnight Mass + Tumblr Text Posts (6/??)

Y’all I’m reading a book about the island that inspired Crockett Island and there’s a real Grace Pruitt 😭

Happy Midnight Mass-iversary!

To honor this momentous occasion, I'm doing a second update this weekend. Love you all madly - seriously, no idea how I've gotten lucky enough to know you, work with you, and witness all your brilliant talents.

Viva la Hamfam!

Chapter 7 Excerpt: Jairus' Daughter

“I think I should go,” you blurt out suddenly, unsure of where else to take the conversation.

“I’ll scrap the book. It’s fine. I’ll just get another teaching gig or something. I think that maybe I need to take Erin and – and I think we should go back to Chicago till the baby is born. I know it’s going to take some convincing, especially now that Riley’s here, but-”

“It’s remarkable! The frequency with which you try to run away from everything.”

“Low hanging fruit, Father. Fuck you and your high horse.”

Hey, who’s that in your profile pic?

Hii, it’s Hamish Linklater as Father Paul Hill from the mini series Midnight Mass. It’s sooo good, I definitely recommend checking it out :)

Midnight Mass (2021) Book I: Genesis

Ep1

Riley Flynn returns home to family dysfunction, familiar faces and a new priest at St. Patrick's. Elsewhere on the island, a dark storm is brewing.

was Crockett island named after Mr Crockett from Salems Lot ?

It was not! I drew a lot of inspiration from the real-life island community of Tangier, Virginia. Tangier is a very isolated community out there in the grey waters of the Chesapeake, and it's so contained that linguists study the community because it has a dialect that only exists there. The most common surname on the island is Crockett, named for the first permanent settler John Crockett. Another very common surname there is Pruitt. I took names from Tangier's history as well, including Charles Scarborough, a landowner who held the patent for the island in the late 1600's (Leeza, Wade and Dolly adopted his name). Tangier's mayor is James "Ooker" Eskridge. Tangier is accessible only by ferry or small plane (only during daylight hours). There are two boats, and one of them is called the "Chesapeake Breeze" (we named ours "The Breeze" and "The Bell"), and we almost incorporated the small landing strip for a Cessna in the show but it posed too many story problems later. Tangier has an uninhabited northern portion of the island that is actually called the Uppards, and it is indeed populated by stray cats. The story Warren tells about dead bodies poking up in people's yards on Crockett is also a true phenomenon that occurs on Tangier. The school, the general store, the fact that there are no hotels on the island, and even the church were all inspired by the very real circumstances on Tangier. I was so taken with this real life community that for a long time I wanted to shoot the actual series there, but it wasn't feasible.

They!

*In the confessional booth*

John Ward: Bless me Lord, for I have sinned

John Pruitt: What sins have you come to confess, Father?

John Ward: *proceeds to rant for 2 hours of the most traumatic experience a man can go through (which is the entirety of the game events)* So, what is my penance?

John Pruitt: ... Go see a therapist, please

AU where everything is the same except when Father Paul was telling Riley about his sister named Alice, he's actually lying and his sister is still alive and well and named Christine

Thirst Trap Interlude: The Green Sisters

Please forgive the tonal shift - THIS ISH BE SAD.

"Interlude: The Greene Sisters" cracked open in my brain and I had to get it down. It's just a little blip of a thing and the narrative doesn't necessarily rest on it.

In my defense! Erin & MC's moms took on a life of their own as did 1970's Crockett Island.

Seriously, skip this bit if you don't want to feel bummed - the rest of the chapters and story won't suffer because of it. It just needed airing out.

Anyway, the next *actual* chapter of Thirst Trap will be out shortly.

If you'd like an appetizer in the meantime, here it is.
