House of Leaves: The Distinction

I posted this on r/houseofleaves a few months ago but seeing as Reddit is the shit hitting the fan right now I’m going to post it here.

Hi everyone. I found it interesting that throughout the book, a distinction between the house (the physical, literal house on Ash Tree Lane) and the house (The endless black hallways) is never established, or, at the very least, that establishment is implied, and then broken.

Navidson’s lack of construction knowledge and hubris leave him as somewhat of an unreliable character in the first few chapters. That is until one of my favorite sections, 1/4”. Just to recap, Navidson discovers that the house is now 1/4” larger on the inside than the outside. This is foreshadowing that the Black Hallways are not just contained to beyond the doorway. Tom, with his years of experience and tools (as well as Reston) discover that the house is, in fact, 5/16” larger than the inside. This is a funny moment of subversion as well as terrifyingly concrete evidence of strange activity.

And then, there’s the door. The door covers the second hallway’s entrance, locked behind four color-coded keys. This door served no purpose other than peace of mind. To me, Tom and Navidson saw it as a way to keep “whatever may be inside” out, but Karen hoped it would keep Navidson from going inside. At this point, the reader may believe the inhabitants are safe from “whatever may be inside.” But they aren’t.

The hallways are like a tumor or a parasite. The inhabitants think they cut it off, but they haven’t. The entire house is the black hallways: it is either “pretending” to be normal, tied to perception of its size, learning how to be larger, or something entirety different. Honestly I could write entire essays on some explanations for why the house starts out seemingly docile (the tunnel from the parent’s room to the children’s) and then by the end starts literally consuming the characters. Anyway, the house starts off shut out behind this door. But it is revealed that it is metastatic. No distinction is made because there is no distinction. The entire house is the hallways. Rooms and walls stretch, floors fall into oblivion, things are “eaten.”

One possible explanation could be that it is Karen and Tom who harm the house. It is only after these two characters are gone that it starts to actually hurt Navidson. Karen’s fear is almost crippling, yes, but she uses various methods to make the house more home-like, and the house rebels against this by dematerializing her feng shui. And by the end, she is the one who truly “beat” the house. Tom, on the other hand, hurt the house by being himself. He was scared and used humor and love to fight back against it. Almost making the house mortal, calling it “Mr. Monster.” It’s unknown if these things even harmed the house at all, but it apparently did somewhat “quell” it. That’s really besides the point, but I just wanted to comment on something of note.

Evidence shows that the Hallways have existed for a very long time and seemingly do not need a “residence” to exist, due to stairs (ftairs!) appearing. The House on Ash Tree Lane is just a vessel for the facsimile inside. It can literally stretch space within itself, but its effect ends outside the walls.

Another thing to note: the blue coloring of house is related to this. Not only is every single mention of the word, English or not, colored inside, but it’s blue colored on the cover and back as well. When you close the book, the house is still there. It’s not contained within the pages, the House has completely engulfed the book. Like how the darkness engulfed the entire house on Ash Tree Lane.

hii max 🤞🏻🤞🏻

i am here to request liam lore. literally all of his story compressed into a small little sandwich if that’s ok. i love complex characters and just wanna gobble them all up🙁

hihi!! this is a great question because i hate that i didn't dive deeper into liam's backstory in future ghosts despite the fact that he has always had lore in my head. i just never went into it in fg for some reason 😭

so! liam was born and raised in reston. his mom was always a teacher and was a great mother to him, but his dad wasn't great. liam's dad was in the military for a lot of liam's life, up until he was in second grade. liam only saw his dad a few times per year before that, so he barely knew him. but when liam was in second grade, his dad came back home. he quickly started to wish that his dad would leave again, go back to the military, and never come home. his dad was abusive to both him and his mother. he was a drunk, but a casual type of drunk that didn't interfere with his work life. the kind of drunk that only the family has the misfortune to see and experience. to the world, liam's dad was a veteran, a good man, and someone to honor. to liam, he was a monster.

liam started to realize that if he didn't act out, his dad still took his anger out on somebody, and usually, it was his mom. so liam was angrier than he had ever been before, and the anger never went away. he would take out his anger on kids at school, push everyone (including rosie, who had been friends with since kindergarten) away, and cause all sorts of trouble. then he would go home and get in trouble with his dad, because it was better him than his mom, right?

when the world ended, it wasn't long before liam's dad did something stupid and careless while drunk. he got bit and died no long after. liam and mrs. johnson left their home with mr. johnson's body left rotting inside. soon after, aaron found them and they moved into alexandria. his life was good again. his life was peaceful. he was a good kid.

and then rosie arrived. liam didn't know how to act. he wasn't so angry anymore, and he had no reason to purposely get himself into trouble. but rosie still knew him as the kid he was before the apocalypse. so liam was stuck with figuring out how to act. he didn't know whether to pretend it never happened or to stick with the troublemaker persona he made for himself. so he was a little bit of both. he was trying to better himself, honestly and truly.

and then his mom died. and all of that went out the window. fury ran through liam's veins rather than blood. no one was there for him. too much was going on for anyone to notice him. but they all noticed rosie. rosie, rosie, rosie. everything was about rosie. rosie had daryl, maggie, rick, carol, rosita, everyone. she had everyone and he had no one. so he took it out on her. and he regretted it, and he didn't know what to do, so he ran.

he survived off scraps and the little survival skills he had for a little while, but it wasn't long before he found the reapers. they took him in. they cared about him. they taught him how to survive. his anger was still there, but it was dwindling. he was getting better.

when rosie showed up, he was surprised to see that he didn't hate her. his anger was there, but not toward her. he realized that the person he truly hated was negan. negan killed his mom, right? it was his fault. so he wanted negan dead more than anything in the world.

so he aimed his gun at negan's head, and we all know how that turned out.

this is not a little sandwich tbh but this is as little as the liam sandwich can get 😭

I am terrified tonight.

Tonight, March 5th, my president talk to France. God, I am terrified.

What is going on in the world ? Between Russia, the US and now Europe ? Fuck, I am european. It terrifies me. He's talking about creating a european army, to 'defend'. But fucking hell ! you can just see he wants to go to war, so he can stay president longer !

I'm going to put what he said -cause I found it-, and put the translation for the non-french speakers : "C’est notre sécurité qui est menacée. Si un pays peut envahir un autre en Europe, c’est la paix qui est menacée" -It is our security that is threatened. If one country can invade another in Europe, peace is threatened- Yay, national security, how nice ! You're going to cost us. Even if he says that it wont, it will.

"La menace russe est là, et touche les pays d’Europe. La Russie a fait du conflit ukrainien un conflit mondial" -The Russian threat is there, and affects the countries of Europe. Russia has made the Ukrainian conflict a global conflict- New world war ? Welp, I'm studying history. Never really intended to live what I'm studying...

"Qui peut croire que la Russie d’aujourd’hui s’arrêtera à l���Ukraine ?" -Who can believe that today's Russia will stop at Ukraine?- They won't. Unfortunately, in my opinion, unless Putin dies -and even then, nothing is sure-, they will continue. They will be world war soon.

"Nous restons attachés à l'Otan, et à notre partenariat avec les États-Unis. Mais l'avenir de l'Europe n'a pas à être tranché à Washington et à Moscou." -We remain committed to NATO, and to our partnership with the United States. But the future of Europe does not have to be decided in Washington and Moscow.- This is probably the thing I agree the most : peace shall not be made outside Europe. It is not a matter from the US to decide who's right and who's wrong. It is not to the US to decide who wins or not. But, arms race is not the answer either. Unfortunately, it seems we do no longer have a choice.

And you know what's even more terrifying ? My brother. He listen, arrived arround half the speech, and then tried to tell us that it was not so bad. That the world wasn't changing a super speed. That, no, our president wasn't trying, in subtext, to invite more people to join the army. He does not believe war can start that fast -we told him he could'nt wait 'till he finished his masters degree at the speed the world is moving, he doesn't want to believe us.

I am shaking, 45 minutes after the speech begun. I am terrified. I feel like I'm going to throw up. I am simply terrified. I would love this text to be one of my dystopian creation. Unfortunately, it is the world today. And fuck, I don't want to be in that world.

The bed should be large enough to fit your body length. Thus, take accurate measurements of the furniture to avoid inconvenience. Talk to customer service at the bed set shop Dubai for free assistance.

The mattress of the bed should be made of durable and smooth foam. When you sleep on the bed, it should adjust the shape according to your body structure. Inflexible mattresses would make your body produce pain and affect your sleep cycle. Memory foam mattresses are soft and long-lasting. 

You will have the option to buy a folding mattress. People who like to move the bed more often find the folding mattress convenient. Fold it and move it to the closet when not in use.

The lifespan of the mattress is also important because some of the beds become stiff after using it for a few years. The foam becomes tough and also changes the consistency. Choose a high-quality mattress brand made of good-quality foam. 

Invest in a good quality bed and mattress for a pleasant sleeping experience. Make sure to buy a comfortable sleeping mattress.

Home Disinfection in Reston and Ashburn, VA for Enhanced Indoor Air Quality

Maintaining good indoor air quality is a priority for homeowners in Reston and Ashburn, Virginia. Clean, fresh air not only contributes to a healthier living environment but also promotes overall well-being. One often overlooked aspect of achieving enhanced indoor air quality is proper disinfection. Effective home disinfection in Reston and Ashburn, VA, can significantly reduce airborne contaminants and allergens, making breathing easier in one's home.   The Link Between Disinfection and Indoor Air Quality   Indoor air quality is a complex interplay of various factors, including the cleanliness of the air. Proper disinfection is a critical component of this equation. Here's how it can contribute to improved indoor air quality:   1. Reducing Allergens: Disinfection helps control common allergens such as dust mites, mold, and pet dander. Regular cleaning and disinfection of surfaces can prevent the buildup of these allergens, reducing the potential for allergic reactions and respiratory issues.   2. Mitigating Mold Growth: Mold thrives in damp and poorly ventilated areas. By disinfecting surfaces in these spaces, one can prevent or eliminate mold growth, reducing the release of mold spores into the air. Mold spores are a common trigger for allergies and respiratory problems.   3. Controlling Bacteria and Viruses: Proper disinfection of high-touch surfaces like doorknobs, light switches, and countertops can help control the spread of bacteria and viruses. This is especially important during cold and flu seasons or when illness is present in the household.   4. Eliminating Odors: Disinfectants can effectively eliminate odor-causing bacteria, improving the overall freshness of the indoor air. This is particularly important in kitchens and bathrooms.   5. Reducing Particulate Matter: Airborne contaminants often attach to dust particles. By reducing the amount of dust through effective disinfection, one can also reduce the number of contaminants suspended in the air.   Disinfection Practices for Better Indoor Air Quality   Now the connection between disinfection and indoor air quality is established, the following are some practical disinfection practices for homeowners in Reston and Ashburn:   1. Regular Cleaning: Make cleaning and disinfecting a regular household routine. Pay special attention to high-touch surfaces, such as doorknobs, light switches, remote controls, and kitchen countertops.   2. Use Appropriate Disinfectants: Choose effective disinfectants against a broad spectrum of pathogens, including bacteria and viruses. Ensure to follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper usage and contact time.   3. Address Humidity Issues: Maintain proper indoor humidity levels to prevent mold growth. Use dehumidifiers in areas prone to excess moisture and ensure good ventilation to keep the air dry.   4. Vacuum and Dust Regularly: Regular vacuuming and dusting help reduce the number of allergens and particulate matter in one's home. Use a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter to trap smaller particles.   5. Invest in Air Purifiers: High-quality air purifiers can further enhance indoor air quality by trapping airborne particles and allergens. Look for purifiers with HEPA filters and consider units with UV-C technology for added disinfection.   6. Consider Professional Disinfection Services: Periodically, it may be beneficial to enlist professional disinfection services. These experts have the knowledge and equipment to conduct thorough disinfection, providing peace of mind.   7. Pay Attention to the HVAC System: Regular maintenance of the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system is crucial. Clean filters and air duct cleaning in Rockville and Potomac, MD, prevent the circulation of airborne contaminants throughout the home.   By incorporating these practices into the home maintenance routine, one can significantly improve indoor air quality. Breathing easier and enjoying a healthier living environment is well within one's reach.

Seeing Double

Summary: While trying to meet up with Roman in the Imagination, Virgil finds himself stumbling upon Reston... where he meets Roman. Believing it’s his Roman, he decides to stick around for a bit and learn more about about him and this new world he could explore. 

----

Virgil was, to put it quite simply, lost. He hated coming into the Imagination on his own, hated how absolutely massive it was and how it seemed to be constantly shifting and changing the further he went into it. But Roman had asked him to come meet him in the woods for a surprise, and he had looked at him with those big, pleading eyes, that it was hard to say no. He just wished that he had asked for a little more clarification when it came to the directions because he’s been wandering in these woods for what felt like hours. 

He was just about to turn back the way he came when he spotted a strange door carved into a tree. Logically, he knew he should just ignore it, go back to the Mindscape and just forget this whole adventure, but his feet were moving him forward before he could second guess himself. What harm could it do, really? Roman was always reassuring him that he was perfectly safe while he was here, so what could possibly go wrong?

What could go wrong is him stepping through the door and appearing in what felt like an endless wheat field, and when he looked behind him, the door was gone. Great… That was just great. He let out a long sigh, pulling out his phone to call Roman, but the call wouldn’t go through. Brows furrowing, he pulled up his messages to text him instead, only for the message failing to deliver. Even better! There was nothing left to do but try and find his way back on his own, so he picked a direction and started walking.

It wasn’t long before noticing the scent of freshly baked bread. Not what he was expecting, but it smelled delicious. His stomach growled at the thought of trying some, and he was moving towards it without thinking about it. None of his danger bells were ringing, he was still in the Imagination after all, so there was no harm in investigating further. And if he got a good treat out of it, then hey, he wasn’t going to complain. Maybe he’ll find Roman along the way, which will make this whole trip a lot more enjoyable.

The wheat fields slowly gave way to a forest, the soft chirping of birds filling the air. It was actually pretty peaceful, and Virgil found himself relaxing slightly. This wasn’t too bad, or at least that’s what he thought before there was the sound of rustling leaves nearby then a yank by his feet and he was hoisted up into the air. Once the world stopped spinning, Virgil wiggled a bit to look at his ankle to see that he had stepped into one of those classic rope traps and he was left hanging next to a rather large tree.

“Can’t believe I fell for that.” He let out a sigh, shoving his hand into his jacket pocket to get his knife.

“I did it! It worked!” A very familiar voice called out and Virgil paused, gaze shooting out to the bushes where Roman stepped forward. “I knew I could catch that pesky…” He trailed off as he locked eyes with Virgil, a confused furrow forming. “You’re not a rabbit.”

“Great observation Captain Obvious.” Several long seconds passed with Roman just staring, an odd look in his eyes. Virgil sighed, rolling his eyes at him. “You going to get me down or what?”

“Right!” Roman’s face flushed and he hurried forward to cut him down. 

Virgil didn’t have a chance to wonder too much about it before he was falling and hitting the ground hard. A hand was offered to help him back up and Virgil took it, letting Roman help him back to his feet. He was about to scold him for making him wander around for so long when Roman beat him to the punch.

“My apologies for the trap, fair stranger. There’s been a rather pesky rabbit in these woods that I’ve been tasked to capture, but it’s eluded me at every turn.” Roman gave him a friendly smile, holding out his hand to shake. “My name is Roman. It’s a pleasure to meet you.” 

Virgil’s brow furrowed, even as he reached his hand out without much thought. Was he playing some kind of roleplaying game? If he was, Virgil wished he had said something about it beforehand. He wasn’t ready to improv on the spot! He needed at least three days to prepare beforehand. “Uh… Virgil.”

The smile he got was dazzling, and it made Virgil’s heart flutter in his chest. As much as he didn’t care for this type of game, he’d play along for now. “It’s very nice to meet you.” Roman turned and, while still keeping hold of Virgil’s hand, began tugging him along. “You must be tired from your journey. Let’s get you back to town and you can rest and have some bread.”

The mention of food made Virgil’s stomach growl and he allowed himself to be tugged along. He’ll play along for now, Roman’s games were normally harmless, and if he was being honest with himself, he was curious to see how this game would go. He was putting his foot down if it ended with them fighting another Dragon Witch. He had to draw a line somewhere, and that’s where he chose. He wasn’t going through that again. But he was sure Roman would drag him along anyway, and he was sure to go along with him, despite his complaints. As long as they were together, he was sure to have an interesting time.
