As much as I love the idea of Will wearing Lee's flannel after his death, I much more prefer a scenario where he was constantly trying to steal it when Lee wasn't looking. Lee got fed up with this gremlin child (affectionate) trying to steal his clothes (he knows that he should toss it out, burn it, but he can't bring himself to do it; it holds way too many memories) so he gets a green flannel and embroiders it with little sun symbols.
He hides it in one of the secret rooms in the infirmary, because he can't have any of his siblings – or worse, a spy – stumble across it in his cabin. He leaves it here and makes a promise to give it to Will on his birthday.
Over a year later, Will tries to find a place to hide – no one should see their head counselor and head medic cry. He finds this room and remembers the talks about it and how it was one of Lee and Luke's secret hideouts. He wants to leave; he doesn't need another memory of what it was and what it could've been. But his gut tells him to enter and he finds a neatly packaged box.
There's a green flannel and a note:
For my little brother, Will
— Lee
P.S. stop stealing my clothes!
He never takes it off.

Shrines to St. Michael.
"Mountains figure prominently at the mighty ganglia of the story of Christianity... As Jesus prays atop the holy mountain, the other world intersects with ours as the divine comes down to the human, as the eternal touches the temporal and mortal. And that other world is the ultimate reality, not this one. No wonder that St Michael, ‘Quis ut Deus,’ has his shrines on lofty peaks; no wonder the Celts worshipped on hills and mountains...
The spirit of the Archangel Michael permeates discussion of the world of the Celts—shrines such as Skellig Michael on precipitous mountain-tops in the cold and wet Celtic desert; early connections with the ancient Eastern world; guardianship of Tuscany, Provence, Normandy, and Cornwall; safe-keeping of wanderers and hermits; motifs of spear, sword, and stone; waging of the war in Heaven and the downfall of Lucifer; the communion of the Grail."

Michaelmas
Tumblr media
St Michael Expelling Lucifer and the Rebel Angels by Peter Paul Rubens (1622). Source: Thyssen Bornemisza Museo Nacional website
Today is Michaelmas (literally the Mass of St Micheal). Michael is quite different from most saints in the Christian calendar in that he is a supernatural being - an Archangel - charged by God with protecting the holy sites of Judaism and Christianity. His ultimate act of divine defence was to save Heaven itself from the beautiful but evil Archangel Lucifer and his insurrection against God’s rule. Michael led the loyal Angels in a mighty battle against Lucifer and his rebel Angels, defeating him and casting his rival and his acolytes out of Heaven and into Hell. On the long descent, Lucifer and his followers were corrupted into Satan and his horde of devils. Embarrassingly, the would-be King of Heaven landed painfully on a bramble bush leading him vengefully to blight the brambles at the end of September every year.
Michaelmas was characterised by many end of Harvest fairs , where people traded in jobs, livestock, gossip and drinking. Frequently the farm workers travelled to the fairs to spend the money they had earned in the late summer bringing in of the harvest. As a result the fairs frequently became rowdy alcohol-fuelled events, leading some organisers to formalise the violence. At Kidderminster and Worcester, an hour of fruit fighting, called Kellums, was allowed between the standing down of the old bailiff and the accession of his successor. Michael, as mentioned yesterday, as a muscular and powerful Christian figure, was often conflated with pagan gods. His commemoration at St Michael’s Mount, near the attested old pagan site of Glastonbury Tor, is unlikely to be a coincidence.
The main dish at Michaelmas was goose, either arising from a mishearing of St Michael’s Biblical reading (the Latin phrase ‘esse intentos’ became ‘goose intentos’) or because Queen Elizabeth I celebrated the defeat of the Spanish Armada with a feast of cooked goose every Michaelmas. Neither origin myth is particularly credible. More likely, geese became payment in kind to agricultural workers at the end of Harvest.

I was just watching your darlings (2013) and I genuinely thought (for majority of the movie) that the character david was played by david harbour. only to be told by the credits that the character david was in fact played by michael c hall 😭 i'm so sorry michael c hall- man who I have literally seen in the flesh on stage, and who is in one of my all time favourite TV shows. you do kind look like david harbour though and I mean that as a compliment 😭😭

I’ve said a few times already that this list or that list is my favourite. But this is such a fantastic collection of books! Fear in the Blood: Tales from the Dark Lineages of the Weird edit. Mike Ashley | 25 / 03 / 24 – British Library Publishing Timothy followed, in his dream, and saw the ungainly, yet agile creature clamber in through the cat-flap… He could hear the flip-flop as it went up…

As we approach 2025, Michelle has spent some time reflecting on this last year and what lies ahead. It's been a mixed year for her, not without it's pain, anxiety and loss but also some incredible moments of promise for the road ahead. Throughout it all we all need strength. A tower of strength, St Michael's Tower on Glastonbury Tor.
