En Abime - Blog Posts
By the way, Will, you mentioned that liked help you move around - how does it feel to have your posts reblogged? (also did you know that here reblogs stay even if the original post is gone? so it's also a way of recording, I guess!)
Gee! That’s helpful, thank you! Definitely helps me feel more…concrete, if that makes a lick of sense? And helps me look at wherever the one "Reblogging" is puttin' the "Reblogs!"
hi will! my friends have asked me to send you some more classic country/blues songs so here are some of my favourites! tried not to put too much carter family in this one lol
blue yodel - jimmie rodgers - (1928)
phonograph blues - robert johnson (1936)
see that my grave is kept clean - blind lemon jefferson (1928)
evil devil woman blues - memphis minnie (1941)
hello stranger - the carter family (1937)
lovesick blues - elsie clark (1939)
conversation with a gun - tex ritter (1930)
i could go on forever but you get the gist!
Wahoo! Thanks for all your help, kid. I love these! Gets me in a walkin' kinda mood. I'll try to put these together somehow!
hi will! i found another song you might know... it was first copywrited in 1931 but nobody knows who originally wrote it haha :P not sure if you're still in or you've gone off to see henry... if you have good luck btw! we're all rooting for you :) we are all metaphorically jumping up and down with our metaphorical pompoms and cheering (this part is not metaphorical we are really honestly cheering)
Thanks for the tune! If I understand them right, that sure is the sentiment some folks came in here with — the likes of Henry and Tati!
And thanks for the well wishes — I ain’t setting out yet — waitin’ for the go ahead from you folks! Thank you for the encouragement anyhow! For now, I’ll keep this tune in my back pocket for “country music”…
Hey Will! We're working on a peaceful way to make your passage safe, which might take a while since we're coordinating it with Henry. For a backup plan though, you might want to start learning/rehearsing some country songs (we'll explain if it comes to it)
Golly, thanks, pals! I ain't sure I got the instruments with me to make any genuine country, but I can start compilin' my favorite tunes — and send any recommendations you kids have too! I know Henry, Mal, and @fortunateisle got all kinds of ways to compile tunes all collaborative-like — I don’t have that know-how, but if there’s somethin’ you kids especially like to use, pass it over!
wait, so you *do* have the back of your head?
Well, I've got someone's! Took a page out of the Dadaists' book back in the day and built myself up from what thingamajigs I could find. Got way easier in this "Digital Age!" Sure, I found a couple o' holes here and there, but nowadays I'm pretty complete!
do you like the way you look? have you always?
Yup! S'pose I wish I looked more...cohesive, from time to time. Kids like @fortunateisle come in here lookin' pretty much the same they did in life (though don't tell her I told ya, but the back of her head was missin'!), which makes me jealous, but I make do with what I can make!
Hey Will, do you *know* who or what is... guarding Henry, so to speak?
I'm pretty sure I do. Can't exactly name it, kid, or I'd be leadin' the bull to the barrel house! I'm sure ya get the idea.
I heard you will be heading out to see Henry!! I hope you have a nice time and stay safe!! :D
Wow! This is incredible -- thank you, pal! Hopefully he'll have a li'l' flower for me -- ain't that sweet. We ain't boyfriends quite yet, but I've got some designs on the fella...
Mentioned this to your pal, but I'll be waiting for your go-ahead in regards to all that safety! And while I'm gone, my things might stop workin' the way they usually do...so if there's anything you (or anyone you know) might wanna take one last look at, seize the chance!
with regards to distractions, do you think we should send emails to the same address?
if so, what would be better: things that the entity only half-understands, or things it fully understands? if, that is, we're right about what it is.
Yes! That should help tons. I don't have personal experience in communicatin' with the thing, so whichever option causes more of a pain -- I know when I get a headache, there's no tellin' up from down and right from left! I mean, I don't get headaches often. But I'm guessin' that's how it'd feel!
Though if you don't wanna hurt it, I understand --if you want, you could grab its attention and pull it away from Henry's area somehow, so I can mosey on in while it's gone! Sort of like the redolence of a lovely li'l' baked pie on someone else's windowsill, if you catch my drift. Vjgtg'u uqogvjkpi yg'tg cnn chtckf vq uca ctqwpf jgtg, kup'v vjgtg?
Thank you all. I'm still puttin' things in order, but I'm plannin' to head out soon, this week's end at the earliest! I'll wait for your go-ahead, though, in case you need to tie up any loose ends first.
I'll be gone fishin' for a while, so the places I'm livin' now might fall outta order for a bit, and I sure hope things'll be different once Henry's around (or, rather, I'm around Henry!) So if ya wanna give somethin' of mine one last look or show 'em to any pals you've got, now's the time!
Hey Will, does the number 3 have any special meaning to you?
Well, hm...I find it swell! And to hide out nowadays, one's gotta keep some tricks up his sleeve. To say things that're hard to say aloud!
how long should you wait before you give up hoping for an email response?
Hmm! Depends who’s e-mailin’ and the difficulty of the things you asked them, I wager!
Opinions on Mal?
Mallory Jane’s swell — honest! I know we’ve had our disagreements. She thinks what I hafta say’s all baloney, but I don’t let it get to me. Henry likes her, and I trust his judgment, and I’m happy he’s still got someone a bit close to talk to. I appreciate her for lookin’ out for him.
If you love me, Henry, you don’t love me in a way I understand.
Do you know how it ends? Do you feel lucky? Do you want to go home now?
There’s a bottle of whiskey in the trunk of the Chevy and a dead man at our feet
staring up at us like we’re something interesting.
This is where the evening splits in half, Henry, love or death. Grab an end, pull hard,
and make a wish.
- Wishbone, Richard Siken
Damn! You and me too, Richard! I oughtta grab a drink with this fella!
how many of you are in there?
Well, you've got Mallory Jane, @fortunateisle over on her Discord, Henry someplace, and from time to time you've got Thomas.
have you ever experimented with trying to get things out of the abime?
Ain't been successful yet! None of us have, to my knowledge.
What was your favorite song to perform?
Henry helped me figure out how to write songs of my own in here, the way he and Mal does! I ain't really ready to share any of my solos yet; they're a tad private. But those were fun to perform -- sing -- think -- conjure? So I s'pose my favorite was the tune I sang with Henry, "Are We Doing This Thing or Not?"
oh, you can dream in there? what do you usually dream of?
Ah, not dream in the literal sense, more so just think about real hard and aspire for!
William, would you consider yourself a smart fella .. or a fart smella. Asking the important questions here.
A mindboggler! I'd like to consider myself a smart fella, as odors don't really translate in here!
What are five (5) things that make you happy?
Thanks for askin’, pal!
1) A swell tune! Some folks here’ve been sharin’ their favorite songs with me, and a good find always makes me smile!
2) Thinkin’ and dreamin’ of loved ones!
3) Gettin’ to know new folks!
4) Whenever I get to sing, perform, and create!
5) Handsome fellas!
Dude srry to ask but wth is going on in this blog. I got a like on the first two posts you'd see if you clicked on my blog(pinned post and most recent rb)then a follow. All of your content seems to be an unknown link to "en abime" and you don't seem to ever say what it actually is. Is this like some cult stuff or just a normal "strange-ish" blog?
Sorry, pal, but I ain't really pickin' up what you're implyin' with "cult" or "strange-ish!" The "Likes" don't mean much -- I think they propagate as I move about this joint. So I s'pose the only way to find out is to explore a bit!
Hi William!
I wanted to let you know Henry misses you.
But on a sillier note, in reference to some of your other asks where you say the "tumblr sexymen" aren't really your type, I was wondering, what IS your type?
Thanks :)
I miss that fella a ton...
As for your inquiry, well, I'm a man with simple tastes! I like a guy who's robust, y'know, healthy-lookin' and sweet like a ray of sunshine. Kind of guy who pulls your chair out for you without even thinkin' but his ears get all red when you do the same for him.
Broad shoulders, square jaws, darlin' green eyes with a li'l' golden sunflower 'round the pupil, deep-set features, big noses with a li'l' bump in the middle, bread-colored wavy hair, outdoorsy, well-muscled but plush, soft-spoken...
you know what? *finds your lost band*
hey will! thanks for the follow :] out of curiosity, whats your favourite colour?
Used to be gold and maroon, but now it's gold and green! Reminds me of someone I know.
………would you want to be a tumblr sexyman?
Listen, I don't wanna interrupt whatever lovely business those guys got goin' on. And no offense to them, but they're not really the kinda fellas I'm typically interested in, if ya get what I'm sayin'!
what's your favorite thing about being on tumblr, so far?
Gettin' to reach all o' you friendly folks! And seeing the variety of things out there y'all enjoy! Like all the creatures and fellas and colors in your li'l' icon squares!
i've been meaning to ask! do you know who made this image? it's very cool
Composited it myself from some ol' album artwork of "Will You Miss Me"! Believe it's in the style of Aubrey Beardsley illustrations!
I'm sure they don't let any ol' sap in! 'Sides, the only sexy man I'm interested in ain't on this "Site!"
William do you know what a Tumblr sexyman is
Taking a gander...it looks a whole host of fellas! Some kinda social club? I'm not a card-carryin' member if that's what you're askin'!
