In 1945 World War II had kept front line nurse Claire Randall and soldier husband Frank apart. Now that the war was concluded, the two embarked on a second honeymoon. Not only did Frank hope to reconnect with his wife, but looked to reconnect with his family’s past so chose to visit his ancestral home. Things seemed to be going well until Claire suddenly found herself hurled back to the year 1743 where she met one of Frank’s ancestors. ("Sassenach", Outlander, TV)

Have you visited all these celebrity graves? I've obviously visited some of them – several I visited just today – but not all.

Maybe next time I come to LA, I should visit Forest Lawn Hollywood Hills for the first time, and see Debbie Reynolds and Carrie Fisher's tomb and Judith Barsi's grave, among others.

Name: Oliver O'Rourke Species: Human (Pre-Lamia) Occupation: Art Teacher Age: 33 Years Old Played By: Gray Face Claim: Sam Claflin

"My family? Turned into luggage. Tragic, yes. No, not really…"

TW: Parental death

It’s just so easy for a small town to coil up around a person. Wicked’s Rest always had too tight a grip on Ollie. He grew up restless, from his bouncing knees to his daydreaming mind, and somewhat smothered by a mother and grandmother who only seemed to get more overprotective the older he got. But as a child, that house at the very, very edge of Worm Row seemed almost magical, like his grandmother’s fascination with the Flat and her host of historical paraphernalia, or his mother’s tender adoration of the Museum’s collection. The shine wore off, though. Soon, because kids are cruel, what’d once been earnest and exciting turned embarrassing; he was quickly, chronically short on friends, self-confidence, and space. As for his father, and everything beyond Wicked’s Rest - Ollie had hardly known his dad long enough to miss the idea of him, but… he could understand wanting to skip town, sometimes. Even just to see! He was always made to feel some sort of bad, though, for even thinking of everywhere he read about, far from home.

So he didn’t. Not out loud, anyway. Like he didn’t complain about schoolyard bullies, or that particularly, yes, small town kind of loneliness - the low ache of spending your adolescence in a claustrophobic world where you knew everyone, forever, and never really got the chance to slough off the stories life left you with. Like that kid whose dad dropped out of parenting to start a band, or something. Or Weird Willa’s grandson, yeah, the hoarder who ran the Serpent’s Flat tours. Or the boy whose mom freaked out over the craziest stuff. Like, cried on the field because he took a soccer ball to the head and needed a couple stitches. And pulled him out of every sport forever. And chased down the school bus because she hadn’t realized the marine biology field trip was leaving town; just for the afternoon, but no, she reamed that teacher out right on the highway. And so on, and so on. 

By the time Ollie was this close to escaping high school, he was sure he needed to escape Wicked’s Rest, too. College seemed like an excuse, yes, but - a good one. Maybe the best he’d get. So Ollie simply lost his application to UMWR, and quietly started packing. When an acceptance letter came back, his family couldn’t believe it. In a bad way. How could he go? Didn’t he understand? 

Understand what? That he was supposed to spend the rest of his life managing their unresolved crap, whatever it was? That he ought to give up on going anywhere, or doing anything, because they were afraid to? That he knew they didn’t think he’d make it doing whatever he did, anyway? That wasn’t fair, his mother insisted; it was only that he really should consider the risks, the cost. None of which anyone but Ollie seemed able to define. More than ready to prove something, he left that old house on a bad note that never quite stopped ringing in his ears. 

It wasn’t his family’s fretting that brought him back to Maine. He was fine on his own. (Obviously. Not flinching away from risks and costs of any kind, ever.) But they weren’t. His grandmother was getting older. And that house needed more and more work just to stay standing, leaning heavier on the Flat by the year. So he’d visit, take care of things. And go back to his cats and classes, in Portland. There’d always be another round of students getting up to their elbows in acrylic paint or staging a new play or practicing the heck out of their next concert number. And… summer? And the next relationship he’d get cold feet about for no good reason. And talking his mother out of her vague, frantic spirals of worry. Even if he still didn’t understand what she was so afraid of, he could at least recognize the patterns; the regular reticulations of her anxiety, so much like his own. And not. Still goddamn mysterious. But predictable, at least. Life, in general, was predictable. At some point, that had stopped feeling stifling. Couldn’t notice how tightly his sense of life had constricted if he didn’t go wriggling too hard against the flow. 

But Serpent’s Flat did some writhing of its own. Suddenly, his mother was… gone. An accident? Willa couldn’t seem to say, exactly; she just begged him to come home, stay home. He did, for her sake. She seemed to think it was for his. It’s been several months, now, of weathering both the raw shock of his mom’s death and the nearness of his grandma’s. Even her ever-odder questions and ever-deeper frowns were some kind of comfort. Then it came: what felt like a final talk. And what a talk it was. Apparently, his mom had been murdered, hunted, because she - because something had gone wrong, like it hadn’t for ages. Apparently the O’Rourkes had a problem. Apparently, that problem was… why wasn’t she laughing? Why wasn’t this insane explanation for everything from jaw pain (stress, clearly) to back aches (more stress, clearly) not one last, hilarious joke? Weird Willa, always a riot. Spinning another story. Their story.  No; not really. No way. He said so then, and he reminded himself, again, as his skin crawled all the way through his grandma’s funeral, her desperate certainty haunting him like a headache. Which he still has, as he carries on clearing that hoard-cluttered house that nobody in their right mind would ever buy, and getting ready to head back to work because he’s out of bereavement and sick leave and then some, and… everything else he needs to do. It’s just a headache. Just stress. Clearly.

Character Facts:

Personality: Creative, empathetic, perceptive, hard-working, finicky, perfectionistic, restless, stubborn

Ollie’s a vegetarian, and a squeamish one - he always did love animals. Which is unfortunate, given… yeah. 

In Portland, Ollie taught a mix of arts subjects across levels - studio art, music, some drama, mostly high school, a little primary, some community center stuff over the summers. Really, he’s been teaching in some kind of way for ages; he was one of those kids who showed the new art/drama nerds the ropes in high school, and spent a few teenaged summers as a swim instructor. Since moving back to Wicked’s Rest, he’s worked as a TA at UMWR for the summer semester to help make ends meet and managed to nab a contract at his old high school for fall. He’s hoping to get this whole alleged “man-eating snake monster” issue sorted out before classes start up again. Totally doable. Right? 

Most of his artistic hobbies have turned into work, and stopped being something he does for himself and the joy of it; besides those, his pastimes run outdoorsy. We’re talking gardening - picked up from the grandmother he’s just lost, in the garden he’s supposedly going to sell off with the rest of the old family house - running, hiking, and, yes, swimming. Nothing serpenty about that, obviously.

His maternal grandmother, Willa O’Rourke, was something of a local character; she worked as a very enthusiastic tour guide at the Serpent’s Flat Viewing Station, and was a notorious hoarder and patron of antiques stores, estate sales, auctions, and other opportunities to pick up “eclectic” goods. Looking around that old house he’s trying to pack up, it’s difficult to tell what’s family junk, superstitious (and occasionally supernatural) odds and sods, and/or the disorganized notes and clippings of an amateur historian.  

The O’Rourkes never allowed pets of any kind, despite Ollie’s childhood hopes; his mom feared having bite-size companions around might tempt her seemingly dormant curse out into the open, and Ollie’s, too. This, of course, was never explained to Ollie, who adopted a couple cats after he scored his first teaching contract. Vince and Theo have been weirdly aloof, lately; adjusting to the recent spate of extra-weirdness the town’s had going on, that’s all. Definitely.

Ohmme & V.V. Lightbody Live Show Review: Rockwell on the River, 7/14, Chicago

Ohmme’s Sima Cunningham

BY JORDAN MAINZER

For Ohmme and V.V. Lightbody, two of Chicago’s most prominent independent artists, last night’s show at Rockwell on the River provided opportunities for them to showcase songs from acclaimed 2020 albums to a live audience. Ohmme’s anticipated sophomore record Fantasize Your Ghost (Joyful Noise) and V.V. Lightbody’s Make a Shrine or Burn It (Acrophase) have distinct energies, the former a collection of breakneck art rock jams, the latter wistful and sneaky, but both are expansive, demanding to be played live.

Ohmme’s Macie Stewart

The performances of Fantasize Your Ghost songs were inspired. Sima Cunningham and Macie Stewart’s soaring vocal harmonies propelled “Flood Your Gut”, also rife with guitar distortion and progressively chaotic drums from Matt Carroll, while “3 2 4 3″ swayed with natural ease. And yes, Ohmme played old favorites, from the definitive stop-start anthem “Woman” to the machine-like sludge of “Water”; McConnell even joined the band for an encore performance of the rolling “Grandmother”. But Ohmme’s released newer material since Fantasize Your Ghost came out, and those songs were perhaps the highlights of the entire set. Post-punk burner “Mine”, a classic Ohmme display of tit-for-tat vocals and burly guitars, chugged along with momentum. I was ecstatic the band performed their rendition of David Bowie’s Blackstar highlight “Girl Loves Me”, complete with a crunchy guitar intro and Cunningham’s echoing yodel when yelping, “Where the fuck did Monday go?!?” 

Matt Carroll, here playing with Ohmme

As Ohmme is the type of band to never settle or repeat themselves, it was only appropriate that, faced with a cut-off time, instead of playing beloved Parts opener “Icon”, they opted for a cover of Jim O’Rourke’s “Memory Lame”. Cunningham, Stewart, and O’Rourke are kindred spirits in more ways than one, from their penchant for complex time signatures to their ability to collaborate across artists and genres while always leaving their unique stamp. Overall, they offered exactly what you’d want out of what was essentially a year-late record release show: No matter how much time had passed, inventive, singular renditions of just about everything.

V.V. Lightbody

V.V. Lightbody’s Vivian McConnell, backed by a band of guitar, bass, keys, and drums (also Matt Carroll), presented more raw versions of her material, without the languid, bedroom-recorded woodwinds of her records. The set was certainly heavy on Make a Shrine or Burn It songs: shimmering choogle “Car Alarm”, slow-burning, wise heartbreak hymn “If It’s Not Me”, the screeching strut of “Horse on Fire”. The band purportedly practiced only the night before, which contextualized the most triumphant moment of the night, the performance of a new tune. With Minor Moon’s Sam Cantor providing guitar, the band prevailed through a choppy, upbeat alt-rock song about bad time management, maybe called “Itinerary”. McConnell smiled as they nailed every bit. The song was an intriguing new addition to V.V. Lightbody’s arsenal, one that should further separate her from the (albeit self-described) pigeonhole of “nap rock” and towards the eclecticism of a band like Ohmme.
