#living house

[vnlucura]

when the house is consuming you but you are the house because all you’ve ever known is the house but you can never truly belong within the house or be a part of it in any meaningful sense. it resents you and hates you yet tells you it loves you and needs you. it scrawls your name in blood across its crumbling walls and lashes out in anger when you yearn for anything more. the house was there before you and the house made you and the house is you and the house is hostile to your personhood and even after you succumb entirely even after you surrender your last breath to it the house will never let you in.

Fun fact, as I learned from @polygonfighter apparently the movie Monster House as deep lore.

Like, legit, the now defunct website (As semi-preserved by the fan wiki) had a bunch of examples of similar living houses written up in an in-universe book, using the name of Domus Mactibilis briefly mentioned in the film, and there's a ton of unique living-furnishing entities connected to the main house in the tie-in video games, as can be seen here:

Makes me wonder if the concept was intended to be expanded into a larger anthology-type series based on the premise of "living houses that eat people," which is now something I'd like to see...

Do you get lonely?

Sometimes…i’m never truly alone in the studio, but that doesn’t mean I’m not lonely…I’m not able to really speak to the studio, so it’s all one sided conversation that makes me feel like im just talking to myself… the gifts are nice and I’m not complaining about it! Im honestly thankful for the effort! It’s just… sometimes I feel more like a pet who “needs proper enrichment” for its cage… I think the studio missed having people walking it’s halls… hearing the sounds of them talking and laughing in the recording room… everything it lost when it was forgotten… I think that’s why it tried to appear more welcoming and lived-in during my new life working here… but it was never able to fully hide the signs of abandonment and neglect… it’s trying so hard to convince me to stay, as if I could leave at any moment… not that I could if I wanted to… sure it’s safe. But it’s also possessive… even if I could go back, or leave somehow…I don’t think the studio would let me…

I don’t know… it’s an intrusive thought that comes and goes… I’ll likely forget about it later anyways… There is something that helps though. I like to create characters and write their stories! I enjoy figuring out the details. I flesh out their backstories, personalities, designs, fears, desires, until they sounded as real as you or me. I love it when a bunch of impulsive details that felt right come together to fit way better than expected! Instant serotonin. After this is done, I put the characters through various experiences in and interactions! Either for fun or just curiosity about how they might react. The characters tend to change a bit now and again during this time, but that’s to be expected when you’re working out their morals and limits… Inserting myself into stories never felt right, so I make my characters characters experience them instead. I watch them grow, make friends, go through various trauma, trauma bond, start a found family, have fluffy moments, etc… I adore them. I don’t care if that sounds embarrassing or “cringe”. I love my blorbos, as I heard them called, and I’d honestly like to see you cope with supernatural solitude any better than I have without going mad! thank you for your question caller, and thanks for tuning in…

Drawlloween 2022 - Day 8: Mind Your Manors

[ph-dm]

[liquidstar]

If my mom sees a significant amount of blood she gets lightheaded, and has fainted on some occasions. Once it happened when we were kids, I wasn't there to witness it but I heard the story from my dad. Basically my brothers, around 7 or 8 at the time, were playing outside while my mom was making their lunch, and she accidentally cut her finger. It wasn't anything serious, but it drew a fair bit of blood and she passed out. My dad saw this and rushed over, but he didn't really know what to do so he just sort of started slapping her to wake her up (not recommended, but he had no idea and panicked)

At that exact moment my brothers both came in from playing, and all they saw was our mom unconscious on the floor and our dad slapping her. So, like, without even saying a word to each other they both just INSTANTLY start whaling on him, like, full blown attack mode to defend our mom. Which obviously didn't help the situation, but she did wake up and everything was fine.

Now our dad says that he's actually really glad they attacked him over what they thought was going on, because it means he raised good boys. And I still think that's true, they're very good boys.

I once had a landlord offhandedly mention that his mother had set this house on fire before. He and his wife lived on the first floor, and i rented the third.

Apparently his mom didn’t like his wife. So she set their house on fire. The house i was living in.

He assured me that everything was fine now and that this was years ago, just kinda laughed, smiled, and said ‘You know how moms are’

Yes. I know how moms are. I know how fucked up moms are as well. I have known many fucked up moms and fellow children of fucked up moms.

Attempted murder through arson is not typical mom behavior, even for a fucked up abusive mom

Oh, and his mother lived next door 🙃

the fact that shakespeare was a playwright is sometimes so funny to me. just the concept of the "greatest writer of the English language" being a random 450-year-old entertainer, a 16th cent pop cultural sensation (thanks in large part to puns & dirty jokes & verbiage & a long-running appeal to commoners). and his work was made to be watched not read, but in the classroom teachers just hand us his scripts and say "that's literature"

just...imagine it's 2450 A.D. and English Lit students are regularly going into 100k debt writing postdoc theses on The Simpsons screenplays. the original animation hasn't even been preserved, it's literally just scripts and the occasional SDH subtitles.txt. they've been republished more times than the Bible

One thing which genuinely bothers me is Annabeth's perception in the fandom. How she's seen as this cold, stoic, emotionless, reserved and intimidating girl. When in reality, she's a character full of love.

Annabeth, who immediately cried and felt attached to Cerberus after playing with him for a few minutes because she wouldn't get to play with him again.

Annabeth, whose deepest desire, which the Sirens lured her with, is saving Luke and having a good relationship with both her parents.

Annabeth, who believed in Luke's goodness, even after all the countless terrible things he did simply because she had faith in his humanity.

Annabeth, who cried in Percy's arms before entering the labyrinth and refused to reveal the last line of the prophecy because it said to lose a love worse than death and the idea of losing any of her friends is too painful, heartbreaking and worse than dying.

Annabeth, who kissed Percy before parting with him in St. Helens because if he's going to die, she at least wants him to die knowing she loved him.

Annabeth, who took a poisoned knife for Percy during the war because she'd rather die herself than let him die.

Annabeth, who convinced Luke to switch sides by reminding him of the promise of family he gave her. Which in turn, influenced Luke's decision to end himself to destroy Kronos. Hello, she saved the world with the power of love.

Annabeth, who spent months after months losing sleep and searching desperately for Percy when he went missing.

Annabeth, who kissed Percy to eternity in public at their reunion, not caring what anyone is going to say or think. An asteroid could've hit the earth, and she wouldn't have cared.

Annabeth, who told Percy “I love you” when falling in Tartarus because if she was going to die, she wanted them to be her last words.

Annabeth Chase is a sweetheart, who has always felt things deeply and she's so full of love. And I think it's time we let go of the “cold-hearted annabeth” headcanon because it's not true, that's not her.

Review: Starling House by Alix E. Harrow

Author: Alix E. HarrowPublisher: Tor BooksReleased: October 3, 2023Received: Own (BOTM) Find it on Goodreads | BOTM | More Fantasy Reviews Book Summary: Opal has always been a little bit fascinated by the Starling House. Maybe it’s because it felt like a kindred spirit. Both she and the house are looked down upon and shunned. Or maybe there’s something more compelling lurking under those…
