Brillig On A GrimDarkSouls Eve

 Seasons Greetings from the GrimDark~! I got another low light pic and music comp for your perusal. This piece of ambient music was called Apparitions of Ionielle and was probably made this time last year. Yeah I was going for a theme thing with Lamentations of Itriya.

Its that time when I guess I must get preachy about my hobby manifesto. Dont worry, it dont happen often. But here goes...

Here on this blog, we know what grimdark is really about - so grim, so dark as to become elevated to the point of absurd. Just like any Monty Python/Gilliam movie. The end of Time Bandits for instance... the kids parents explode from the essence of pure undiluted evil in their toaster oven! Warhammer was that too in the 80s. Well maybe the exploding evil part too, but... At any rate, Id like to think I am the firekeeper at the bonfire of absurdity. yes that is a Dark Souls reference, which might not intentionally be quirky fun. But really you must have a sense of humour to play a game where you are constantly looking at a screen that says "YOU HAVE DIED." Embrace the horror. And that is our manifesto here... beautiful mad absurdity. And that brings us to our present post...

The Red Queen has sent the Black Knight to capture Mad Alice. Her sentence is death by torture... or rather tart-ture.

 `No, no!' said the Queen. `Sentence first--verdict afterwards.'

`Stuff and nonsense!' said Alice loudly. `The idea of having the sentence first!'

`Hold your tongue!' said the Queen, turning purple.

`I won't!' said Alice.

`Off with her head!' the Queen shouted at the top of her voice. Nobody moved.

`Who cares for you?' said Alice, (she had grown to her full size by this time.) `You're nothing but a pack of cards!'
