World War 1 ASMR English Officer Reads Poetry (1917 ASMR) - Trigger Warning in Description

[@jazzcat00]

A day before death, no man could avoid it in these trenches. Some wounded and already dying or those suffering in their minds of hope for home just to steady their bleak looking fates. Sitting alone but in a close group staring up at the night sky a man sat with me, spoke calmly of what was and would come. He shared his melencholy poetry which spoke honest about this hell that we suffer, we shared a smoke which was my first. I watched him try to lift the mood with trivial talk, but I just stared ahead listening and smoking. He seemed to accept my silence. He gave me the title of friend, and that was when I finally looked at the man and tried to say something he just cut me off kindly with a chuckle some drink. I stared at a man who felt he would die. I..His only friend. I remember his smile yet I never knew his name. He was indeed my friend. ((Wrote this out of inspiration)) (Wonderful work, you did such a great job with the subject and your skills continue to grow 😺)

The war ended just a week later. He was only 25. Lt. Owen's story is important and fascinating, and he left behind a small window to the true maddening hellscape of war, a reality most of us will never comprehend. But one of the most important things to consider is the fact that every last soldier who was and will be killed has a life that is just as full and meaningful and valuable. Every single one is the main character in an important story. Every single one matters.

Jim, you are literally THE most versatile actor I know of. It’s like you can somehow even slightly change your facial structure for different characters. Also: do you have an Amazon wish list for props and equipment? If so, I would encourage you to seriously consider sharing a link to it on your About page. I am certain that many of your subscribers (help me out here, guys!) would love to support you and your work by providing what you need to continue creating amazing content, and I believe you could anonymize your surname (?) and address (or have things shipped to an Amazon Locker). I think this would only work for items shipped directly from Amazon, not third party sellers, since third party sellers would need the buyer to provide your address. I guess you’d have to confirm that all this is possible; your privacy is super important, especially since your channel is exploding. If you feel shy about posting the list, you could explain that it’s at the urging of your subscribers. 😊 I believe that your overseas friends can make purchases from Amazon UK, pay in our own currency, and the items would be shipped from the U.K.; I’d be happy to make the experiment. Anyway, please consider it. We want to support you! Edit: I know you have Patreon too, (and everyone should support Jim there!!! He has ONE tier- $1!!) but since Patreon is subscription-based, an Amazon wish list might be an additional fun one-time way for your subscribers to support your work. 🙂

Jim, that's great. Piercing. Touching. Deep. Minding that Wilfred Owen was killed exactly one week before the signing of the Armistice, exactly before the war was ended... I'm crying again.

Thank you for speaking about this.

[@cassiopeiadee9306]

Someone commented on your second knight video that it was like a new genre, "personal intimate theater," which I think is the perfect term, and it was on my mind as I was engrossed in this performance. Thank you for the opportunity to emotionally engage with this and reflect on loss, death, and matters of meaning and existence. Enriched to read more about Wilfred Owen and his life and poetry which I was not familiar with, made my second watch even more poignant and mournful. You share Owen's real-life chin dimple! I am shocked that you largely improvise your videos, in one take no less usually--what a gift. "We battle daily...every person has a battle that they must fight...win or lose...it must be fought." May we all have the strength to keep on fighting...

That's damn close to immortality, at least in my book. Thank you, Wilfred Owen. What a gift. And thank you, Jim. Hats off to the both of you gentlemen. 🖤

Hi Jim, I’m new to your channel and have been incredibly moved by your skills. This video in particular almost moved me to tears. My grandfather fought in WW2. He joined the navy at age 17 after convincing his father to lie saying he was 18. Thankfully he did come home, but I never asked him about what he experienced. I regret that now that he’s gone but I have a feeling he never would have told me anyway, being his youngest granddaughter. My point is: I want to thank you Jim, for honoring the brave men and women like my grandfather and the men and women who never came back home. ❤️

[@JimASMR]

Thank you so much. 🤗

[@sarahriddle7211]

This brings back so many memories. When I was in college I worked in an archival department. While there my department provided valuable information of first hand accounts of WWI, specifically letters, photographs and journal entries. Myself and my fellow student assistants actually transcribed the letters and diary entries used in a documentary that was made from our collections. That job made me fall in love with information science, which is what I am earning my masters in now. The accounts of those soldiers, many of them younger than me, we're just haunting, especially the letters of those who's loved ones never made it home.

[@JimASMR]

Ah, paleography? A difficult job. I can only imagine how difficult it must have been.

[@sarahriddle7211]

Jimち ASMR actually most of the handwriting was very legible. Some of the older documents we dealt with, especially the ones that were written within war camps, were much more difficult. I can’t say I blame those, though...you can't stay at that work for more than two hours at a time or migraines are certain.

[@madameghostie]

Beautiful as always, Jim! Such excellent work. My heart clenched when he asked if we would deliver his poems to his family. I wish I could have sat there all night with him listening to him read them; dawn be damned. Brilliant, thoughtful, and poignant. Thank you so much for this. 💖

Okay. Right now I am staring at my computer's screen, trying to figure out what to say. Actually, I think there are no words to express how I felt during the video and how I feel right now. I am devastated (positively speaking, of course). I got goosebumps and tears in my eyes since the beginning, but as soon as I heard you hesitate while speaking, I couldn't stop myself from crying. And I cried throughout the whole video. It just felt so real, so comforting and distressing at the same time. I imagined myself smoking that cigarette with you and being there, in that foxhole. Jim, I watch a lot of ASMR videos, but I have never seen anyone with such creativity as yours. Your sensitivity and thoughtfulness are precious and I am really, really happy to be your subscriber.

My great grandfather was 16 when he went into the British army. He walked 22 miles to the nearest recruiting station and later got sent to fight at the Somme. He took a piece of shrapnel to the shoulder, and he never had use of that arm again. Luckily he survived the war and led a nice life back in England. I never got to meet him, but I really wish I had so I could have written down some of his experiences. It’s so sad that we have no one heart from the Great War to tell us their stories. So many have been taken to the grave that deserve to be told!

Or sitting in a confessional and confessing sins (doesn’t have to be very serious ;)) Or something with an aura like the short film made by Salvador Dali „Un chien andalou”?

Absolutely brilliant, beautiful and very powerful. I don't think anyone else could have tackled this subject matter with such tact. You truly have a gift. Might I suggest a concept for another war themed video: you are one of many soldiers stuck in the sinking ships at Peal Harbor and have to make peace with the fact that you may not make it before you can be rescued. It's a very heavy subject, I know, but I have absolute faith that you could convey their story with unmeasured dignity and grace.

Very heavy - only worry would be that I'm not American 😗

I’m a military history major and I got so excited seeing this in my notifications. Thank you for putting the trigger warning & for giving a beautiful tribute to those who lost their lives in defense of their countries. 💕

The poem you read was one we analyzed in class, and it's a very beautiful poem. I'm glad you chose it!

Lance Corporal Schofield reporting for tingle duties, sir! This is an INCREDIBLE roleplay! I love "1917," and I recently became acquainted with Wilfred Owen's poetry, so this is perfect. Thank you for this! It's one I'll be revisiting many times! :D

[@JimASMR]

My pleasure, Lance Corporal.

I currently study Wilfred Owen's selected poems in school so to see this video, I've been genuinely intrigued. Props to you for this.
