Behold the neutrality of this globe, which carries us through space like a boat of castaways heading for shore: today a virtuous couple sleeps on the same bit of ground that once suffered a sinning couple. Tomorrow a clergyman may sleep there, then a murderer, then a blacksmith, then a poet, and all will bless that corner of the earth, which gave them a few fleeting dreams.

Machado de Assis, The Posthumous Memoirs of Brás Cubas (trans. Flora Thomson-DeVeaux)

If your grave doesn’t say “rest in peace” on it, you are automatically drafted into the skeleton war.

Alice: Well, that hardly seems fair -- what if you put "conscientious objector" on your tombstone instead?

Deity: Nerull, The One Who Sorts The Bones

It's said they found the god in the old tombs, in that forgotten quiet where long eras had worn away all the epitaphs. They drew in a breath of the still air and on their exhalation the god took flight into the world on vulture's wings. -The Silent Testimonies, book 1

A god not of death, but of the dead, Nerull presides those aspects of the mortal coil that lay beyond the Raven Queen's domain of mourning and memory. Someone must keep vigil for the departed long after their names have passed from the memories of the living, and so that duty falls to Nerull, who's chosen people are the spirits that have lingered in the world far longer than they were ever alive.

Beyond the dead, the vulture’s faithful are an eclectic lot. Itinerant gravetenders, scholars of forgotten tongues, Bonesetters who's experience with embalming helps them minister to the living.  To Serve Nerull you must first die, though this is often symbolic.

Unlike his fellow carrion-bird death god, Nerull's following does not frown on the use of necromancy, or the existance of undead. Ghost stories, whether vengeful or sorrowful are considered holy for the way their memory transcends time. The exception to this reverence of course are those trapped in suffering, and the "hungry" dead who feed on the living. Pain and want are after all the purview of life, and Nerull dispatches hunters and psychopomps to ease such spirits along their way.

Adventure Hooks:

While out on their travels the party encounters a procession of grey pilgrims, masked and shrouded, all silent save for the leader of their procession who carries a staff jingling with bells and welcomes the party to sit by his fire. He tells tale of conflicts across the realm, new and old, shared with her by her flock, and invites the party to walk along with them the next day if they wish to see something splendid. Should the party agree to such unsettling company they will walk until sunset when they come to a hillside dotted with loose stones, where one by one the pigrims will walk out and begin constructing their own cairns. The procession leader will thank them for their observance, not many are so kind to the unnamed dead, and will reward them with answers to five questions before departing on pallid wings.

After inexplicably befriending one of Nerull's agents (and possibly his daughter?) during one of their adventures, the party are liable to be put out when they don't see their favourite psychopomp for a while. Queue sightings of a foreboding spectre that's knocking one by one on the doors of the city at night, sending people into a panic. Imagine their surprise when it turns out this wraith has a message for them... their favourite omen of doom has been kidnapped by a necromancer and her boss (dad?) wants them to get her back.

The Vulture's work is never done, and this time he's decided to enlist the heroes for aid. Perhaps there's an undead spirit that needs to be quieted, perhaps there's something sinister at work in a ruin once consecrated in his name, perhaps it's just making sure they clean up after themselves after their latest stint of tombrobbing. Regardless, Nerull can offer the heroes something far beyond coin... closure with the dead, ensuring visitation with a loved one for some much needed closure.

Titles: The Vulture, The Bonesorter, Dead Ned, the weary reaper, the vagabond end.

Signs: Plants too dry to rot, the voices of the departed carried on the wind, skeletons rearranged into trees or gardens.

Symbols: A scythe or sickle entwined with flowers.

Sorry, I just wanted to ask if you received my propaganda for Dolores Hart. You don't have to post it of course, I read the rules :) but I was just wondering if you haven't posted it because you received it and didn't get to it yet or chose not to, or because you didn't receive it at all. It's completely uselss propaganda, more of an epitaph really 😊😂

Since this is anonymous I have no idea—I've received some Hart propaganda and it's in the queue, but right now I'm more focused on getting the new polls up. Sorry!

[vocaloidsongpoll]

uh. here after a very belated realisation that a song submission needs. a song, specified, and not just a gushing of enthusiasm

i be the ferry submitter

please consider comfort zone by ferry :> it was a strong contended between this and 100 epitaphs, but while i prefer 100 epitaphs musicallyncomfort zone is able to stand independently more, i think

you are totally fine, honey!! reading your submission last night honestly brought a smile to my face. it's easily the sweetest, most passionate message i've ever received since i started this blog, and that's why i love to do this. i love getting to see how excited vocaloid fans get when they see their favorite song(s) posted, and i love seeing all of the support and gushing over these songs, no matter how short or how wordy they may be!

all of the songs you suggested have been added to the queue, don't worry!! it might take a little bit but they will be posted before the end of january!

never apologize for being passionate or enthusiastic about something, especially around here <3

THANKS A BILLION FOR FAB FREDDIE!

[Photo caption: LIVING MEMORY: A Mercury lookalike in the concert crowd]

A MAMMOTH musical tribute to pop legend Freddie Mercury had the world rockin' in the aisles last night.

World rocks to his pop tribute

By ISABELLE MURRAY

A billion fans in more than 70 countries were watching the show live or waiting to see recordings withing 24 hours.

More than 100,000 red ribbons fluttered in the capacity 72,000 crowd in Wembley stadium.

They were a symbol of AIDS — which killed Mercury — and a silent reminder that the mega concert was to raise cash for AIDS relief and research.

Mercury's own image loomed large over the start of the concerts.

Video footage showed him performing his hit Bohemian Rhapsody that had become the show's anthem.

Then the fans cheered, screamed, clapped and wept together as they watched dozens of other top names make their own personal tributes to flamboyant Freddie.

For three hours, the acts from Britain and America thrilled the crowd with their versions of Freddie favourites.

Elton John sang Bohemian Rhapsody again.

Seal had the crowd cheering along as he sang Queen standard Who Wants To Live Forever?

David Bowie and Annie Lennox boomed out a stirring version of the chart hit Under Pressure.

And, in the emotion charged atmosphere, fans wept when George Michael and Lisa Stansfield performed a moving duet of the hit These Are The Days Of Our Lives.

Finally, all the artists sang God Save the Queen, traditional ending to Queen concerts.

The concert — which sold out three hours after it was announced — had fans from all over the world scrambling for tickets.

The international audience included music lovers from Japan, American, Italy, Germany, Scandinavia, France and from all over Britain.

Queue

Hours before the stadium gates opened at 4pm, fans queued for miles to pay a small fortune for concert merchandise.

Legions of sweating caterers poured 26,000 pints of lager and 64,000 colas for thirsty fans.

Peckish punters scoffed 20,000 burgers, 15,000 hot dogs and 3,000 buckets of popcorn.

There were 200 medical workers, including five doctors and a surgeon and 300 security officers.

Backstage, there was even a masseur and accupuncturist ready to deal with the stresses of stardom.

[Photo caption: LIZ: Condom plea]

Liz pays homage

SCREEN legend Liz Taylor flew from Los Angeles with a moving epitaph to Freddie... and a chilling warning for the fans.

She declared: "He died before his time, but the bright light of his talent still exhilarates us."

Then Liz spelled out the AIDS message to her massive worldwide TV audience:

"Protect yourselves. Every time you have sex, use a condom.

"Straight sex, gay sex, bisexual sex. Always use a condom wherever you are.

"The world needs you to live. We love you. We care."

Queen guitarist Brian May pledged that Queen will carry on.

But nobody will ever replace the great man.

I have a queue of nearly 100 posts on this blog and the Roman Dog Epitaph happened to be posted today? Shut the hell your mouth

[mah-e-tamaam]

Popular by their performance, art of singing. Meet the transgender from Kashmir, lived a shrouded life. Praying for peace. I wonder what could be the epitaph, 06-11-2022.

Body and Soul fought,

Do they?

Maybe, maybe not.

Whenever they do, it's prolonged

Feels unending, like a maze,

Every path leads to nowhere.

Why? Why all this?

When we are being controlled, governed

by everyone, everyone but ourselves. When they decide your place, they decide which one is your queue.

But when we overpower, that is courage,

You are courage, always were.

Now that you are not around, He will have you,

with all the love and comfort we couldn't give you,

now He will see you like you were, like He made you.

Rest in peace 🕊️

Time comedia del arte

This is Natter Dam Dam Hoppa from My Homies Tv . I’m next to Jefferson medical center. Here with me Dr. Psyciamo Psyso. The one that link stupidity to a painful illness and call anyone that feels dumb or stupid to come and get body suite made of plaster.

Pp: yes, it was me. we can see a long line of dumb people and will increase during the evening and more idiots will come to get in plaster.

NDD: And why do people need to wrap themselves in plaster? Sounds strange. Agree with me, Dr. Psyso dumbass idea, coz how can stupidity be a painful disease?

Pp: Yes yeah Dam Hoppa dumbness can easily kill And also can kill, kill too

DDH: I see it’s also contagious

Pp: what?

Let me gives you an example. Week ago we got a dead guy name John a young guy that stick his head near The blades that mixed the dough at the food processor factory after one of the stuff said that the dough smells bad. Instead to shut down the mixer he stick his head, nose first. As the blade got his nose, quickly he became part of the dough, a bloody Jhon dough the speed of the blade pool him and he been grinding in second. The moron got the title John Dough.

DDHopa: Hehehe what a dumb this John Dough so no one saw him I mean what a perfect way to be Anonymous after John becomes Dough Himself. I guess his loved ones are going to bury Dough John and write an epitaph: Our love one, Dough John Dough love share but dies prematurely anonymous

Pp: and yesterday a young lady with burning wounds after she was babysitting two little babies she fell asleep while smoking and she burned the whole house with the babies she babysit. Immediately when she felt the smoke she couldn’t find her phone to call for help, so she ran down to call from the house phone. Instead it was the microwave buttons that she push to call for help. Until she realizes she calling using microwave the fire spread and the two babies, Barbie & Queue burned to death..

DDH: wait what, you telling me that the Young kids that burned named Barbie Queue ?

Pp: yes sir Korean twin, a boy and a girl. It was heartbreaking to watch BBQ parents moaning their lost twin, in particular their mom that cried: No mo BBQ all burned no mo no mo BBQ. And here in our Medical center we hold few stupid workers too. One nurse that heard the mom approached the morning mom, hugged her and said. It's ok you can come on the weekend I promise we're gonna make you BBQ, even better than the BBQ that burns, right after the invitation BBQ fell on the floor, fainted.

So as I already mentioned I recommend to anyone who thinks he is dumb enough to come and we will cover him head to toe with plaster.

DDH: so now I get it it’s painful disease when they practiced their stupidity then it becomes dangerous, nevertheless painful. And what you offer as I understand is to cover them with plaster to avoid the pain that might be inflicted on them at sort distance time. You know, I always was curious what is more severer to be stupid or dumber ?

Pp: good question I’ll try to simplify it by comparison to an occupation say dumber is prostitute and stupid is stripper

DDH: hey hey hey please do not offend prostitution occupation they at list making money, by charging to unload the males poisons. Like a waste management

Ddh: Very respectful occupation

Pp: Indeed my friend didn’t think like you, either way dumber are the worst stupidity can be linked to many naïve people.. and half of the one standing in the long line are the one that must feel the thrill of being covered head to toe with plaster…

And together they say:

THE DUMBASS DUMBER
