our house... in the middle of our leaves¹

¹This is a humourous riff on the lyrics to the song "Our House" by the English ska-pop band, Madness. "Our House" is considered a working class anthem, which contrasts the bourgeoisie lifestyle of the Navidson family.²

²Alright, while the music stuff is factually correct it's still a huge stretch to connect the song and the family this way. Sometimes a corny joke is just a corny joke.

just got this email from the library confirming my reservation of house of leaves is finally available and i can't get over their decision to attribute it to the fictional made up author from the book instead of the actual guy who wrote it

concept art for a Johnny Truant (house of leaves) fortnite skin

[tentacle-therapissed]

Johnny Truant is the character ever actually and yall are missing out. He has mommy issues and TWO kinds of daddy issues. He lied his way into working at a fish canning factory at age 13. He goes on long-winded stream of consciousness rants about vaguely disturbing but largely irrelevant topics. He does too many drugs. He has tons of casual sex with women but all of them think he’s sweet. He saw a stray puppy on the side of the road and immediately fell in love with it. He only has one friend. He thinks he’s being haunted by a demon but he probably just has PTSD. A pretty girl said 6 words to him and he immediately considered ‘petitioning all major religions in order to have her deified.’ His only hobby is organizing and annotating an academic manuscript written by a dead old man about a movie that doesn’t exist.

picture that. in your dreams.

at long last: the house of leaves poster! I love this book so much. it is such a fucking pain in the ass to read at times but it's so so worth it.

notes:

why is fire so hard? why?

those are all my hands... more or less.

spent way too long squinting at blurry photos of hot oil scars for this

if I fucked up the stairs, no I didn't, blame the house

the God quote is my favorite but also wow there are so many killer lines I totally forgot about

johnny truant I love you will navidson I love you zampano you verbose bastard I love you too

every Lude/Johnny interaction ever:

Lude: Johnny you stupid whore come to the club with me :D

Johnny, internally: Club. Thats exactly the right word, because the droning cacophany of music, drugs and girls, all beautiful and all terrible at the same time are hitting me like a club, a blunt instrument from the side of the head. Bludgeoning me to death. Fuck. fuck. I am falling apart, like a vase hit by a baseball bat, or maybe a club.

Johnny, externally: ok Lude: YAY
