"Absolve me, entertain me, wake me up, just distract me for two seconds while I pretend I don't know what's happening just over there"

Moving on, as a concept, is for stupid people, because any sensible person knows grief is a long-term project. I refuse to rush. The pain that is thrust upon us let no man slow or speed or fix.

The wizard of Waterdeep and Dead Papa Toothwort
If you know me, you must be aware of/haunted by two things: My brain has millions of connections for the most minor things in life AND I am fatally unhinged when it comes to anything that mingles folklorean horrors and literature. So when I caught note of the voice actor of Gale from BG3 - Tim Downie - recommending books or the folklore horror sort, I immediately crashed into reading one of them. Specifically Lanny by Max Porter. And given I really enjoyed Dead Papa Toothwort's depiction in the book, I thought; Why not let me connect all of this into on bundle that represents most of what went on within this one peculiar capsule of a singular brain cell?
Tara the tressym may also be a nod to my own two cats who kept me from refilling my tea when I read the book by sleeping on my legs entirely.

NEW PROJECT ALERT!
EXCLUSIVE: Benedict Cumberbatch has signed to star in Dylan Southern’s adaptation of Max Porter’s acclaimed novel Grief is the Thing With Feathers about a father and his two young sons dealing with the sudden death of their wife and mother.
Cumberbatch will play a young father whose hold on reality crumbles following his wife’s death as a strange presence begins to stalk him from the shadowy recesses of the apartment he shares with his two young sons.
“Having been a huge fan of Max Porter’s extraordinary book and Enda Walsh’s stage adaptation I was sceptical about a film adaptation. But the experience of reading Dylan Southern’s adaptation rekindled the cinematic memory of reading this most visceral tale of a family consumed by grief,” said Cumberbatch.
“Dylan has handled the deftness of Max’s kinetic poetry masterfully. It’s so well realised both on the page and in the deck and pitch. It holds all the wildly sharp turns of changing tones and colours between the domestic and mythic, between the despair, comedy, and every day of loss. It’s a thrilling read, and I couldn’t be more excited to be taking Dylan’s cinematic vision of it to the big screen”, he added.
“This is a genuinely meaningful story – but it’s also scary, thrilling, and subversive – and it achieves all of the above whilst remaining unsentimental. As a director, adapting this book provides the opportunity to combine striking genre elements with drama in a way that will not only move an audience, but will frighten them and make them laugh too”, said Dylan Southern (Director).
The feature adaptation, entitled The Thing With Feathers, is produced by Andrea Cornwell with SunnyMarch’s Adam Ackland and Leah Clarke. The script was developed with Film4, who will executive produce and co-finance. The crow figure will be created for the screen in collaboration with the sculptor Nicola Hicks.

How physical my missing is. I miss her so much it is a vast golden prince, a concert hall, a thousand trees, a lake, nine thousand buses, a million cars, twenty million birds and more. The whole city is my missing her.
Eugh, said Crow, you sound like a fridge magnet.

'Oppenheimer star Cillian Murphy has signed on to star in and produce a new Netflix movie, Steve.
The actor will play the role of the headteacher in the upcoming film, an adapted version of the 2023 novel Shy by author Max Porter.
Netflix has green-lit the project from Murphy's new production company Big Things Films, founded with longtime collaborator Alan Moloney. Deadline reports the movie will be shared globally on the streaming service, with filming set to begin this spring.
Steve will follow 24 hours in the life of the eponymous headteacher (Murphy), who heads up a last-chance school for troubled boys. Audiences will see the school head's mental health tested as he struggles to keep his students in line.
The screenplay, also written by Porter, differs slightly from his novel, with Shy's original protagonist being a 16-year-old student of the same name recalling one night at the school.
"The same events happen, we're just looking at them through a different lens," said Murphy of the change.
The Peaky Blinders star admitted he's a long-time fan of Porter's writing and his latest work Shy was no exception.
"It's something I've always chased down in writing — is something that has an actual visceral effect on you, an emotional effect," said Murphy.
"Max gave me that book in a proof edition before he finished it, and again it just broke my heart. They're the sorts of things I love as a reader and as a performer, so I really wanted to do something with him."
The actor has previously worked with Porter on the 2021 short film All of This Unreal Time and a stage adaptation of the novel Grief is the Thing with Feathers.
Steve will also reunite Murphy with director Tim Mielants. The two worked together on Peaky Blinders season three and the upcoming film Small Things Like These, which will debut at this year's Berlinale on opening night (February 15).'

Responsive to the light, I would call it. The type of person who is that little bit more akin to the weather than most people, more obviously made of the same atoms as the earth than most people these days seem to be.
Max Porter, Lanny
