Interesting how I can compartmentalize a lot of specific events, people, and feelings behind doors in my mind; yet, my mind runs like a spider on a web full of thoughts, running from one thought to another and the web is full of flies.

Im realizing the spider is in my house. I thought it was only a web and the spider, but when I had to break down important things in my life, I built a house and created the space for each thing so I can dig through it in therapy.

He Is Legend - Endless Hallway North Carolina band He Is Legend is one of the most underrated post-hardcore / metalcore bands in the genre, and I don’t know why no one knows who they are. They came to prominence in the early 00s with their debut album, 2004′s I Am Hollywood, and they had some success with their first two albums, but they changed their sound a bit in the mid-00s before taking a bit of a break and coming back in 2014 with Heavy Fruit. That was my introduction to them, where I was able to get an advanced copy of the album through Tragic Hero Records, even though I knew who they were, at least sort of, anyway. Heavy Fruit was a really cool mix of sludge, groove, and metalcore, but with traces of hard-rock, southern-rock, and post-hardcore, too. I’ve been keeping up with them since then, and I really loved 2019′s White Bat, so I was really looking forward to their latest album, Endless Hallway. Released this past week, I’ve been spending a ton of time with it, and I’ve been excited about it ever since they surprisingly announced it a couple of months ago. White Bat was a great continuation of what I’ve been hearing from them since 2014, but it had some more energy in it. They injected a punk-like energy into the record, and it was a rager. It would have probably catapulted them to more fame if it weren’t for this thing called the COVID-19 pandemic that started a few months after the album’s release. The pandemic really screwed up a lot for bands, but I’m glad they’re back with a new album, because it absolutely rips. Now I do have some issues with it, but I love it a lot more than I have problems with it. There are a lot of things I enjoy about this album, but the things I dislike are a little too hard to ignore. I’ll talk about that stuff later, because I really want to express that this album is great, and He Is Legend is worth listening to, or that Endless Hallway isn’t an album you want to miss. For starters, let’s talk about their sound, and it’s pretty similar to White Bat, but there’s even more energy and punk-like fervor on this record. The album immediately opens up with “The Prowler,” and it just sets the stage for the whole album. Songs like “Lifeless Lemonade,” “Honey From The Hive,” “Return To The Garden,” “Sour,” and “Animals” are utterly fantastic, combining the best parts of the band together. Some tracks have more of a punk energy, whereas some emulate hard-rock sounds, but other tracks have a bit of a metalcore bite to them, at least on top of their sludgy and groove metal backbone that they’re known for. The southern grooves are very prevalent on this album, too, as this album has some tasty riffs on it. Vocalist Schuyler Croom’s voice has aged like fine wine, and instead of having this gruff and rough as sandpaper voice, he has this nice middle ground where it’s on the rougher edge of the spectrum, but he has a good sense of melody, too. There are a lot of catchy hooks on this thing, and a lot of the songs I mentioned are very catchy, so they’ll get stuck in your head if you’re not careful. The hooks are seamlessly combined with the heavier parts of the songs, and a lot of the songs on here ebb and flow throughout each other. It might start off as a sludge metal track, but you’ll hear some metalcore, post-hardcore, groove metal, and hard-rock elsewhere on the track, sometimes at the same time. These guys have a very unique sound, and it’s only gotten better with time. That leads me to my biggest problem with Endless Hallway, and that’s its sound, even though I just praised it to hell and back. I love it, but this album has the issue of having one sound and sticking with it, so the whole album is variations on that one sound; their sound is unique, but there are only so many times I can hear similar sludge riffs and southern rock riffs that build into a punky hook, or feature a metalcore breakdown in the bridge. It all just runs together after awhile, which is a shame, because their sound is great. It’s unique, but it’s kind of one note, so to speak. The album is also way too long, clocking in at 48 minutes. It’s a doozy, and by the end, I’m sort of tapped out. The closing track is great, but I’m done with it by that point, where it all sort of runs together. I’d still recommend it, but if the album were shorter, it would be way higher on my yearend list. It’s still a great mix of sludge, groove, southern rock, metalcore, and post-hardcore, but they have a formula and every song utilizes it. It just runs together after awhile, despite how good it is, and how much I enjoy it. These guys are one of the most interesting bands in the metalcore / post-hardcore circle, so if anything, it’s worth a listen, because these guys deserve to be more noticed. It’s so shocking how they’re still so underrated, but this album is killer, despite its lengthy runtime and how the songs all run together. It doesn’t matter much when the album is this good.

people really think arya is going to hate sansa when they meet again, even going so far as to hate her, want her executed, perhaps even as far as kinslaying with her own damn hands. meanwhile arya-

When she thought of seeing Robb's face again Arya had to bite her lip. And I want to see Jon too, and Bran and Rickon, and Mother. Even Sansa . . . I'll kiss her and beg her pardons like a proper lady, she'll like that.

does NOT give a shit lmao she just wants to see her sister alive again!

I’m going to be real, reading house of leaves i was fascinated but incapable of fully understanding. The solutions were just out of my reach. I needed to know what x meant, what y symbolized. It made my head hurt but I was desperate for answers. It was beyond frustrating. I was trawling house of leaves forums from 2002 looking for any type of theory that unified the experience.

Within hours of officially declaring the book finished, having exhausted all of the appendices and footnotes, I got the phone call that my brother died. Needless to say, my search for answers was on hold. Later, I’d learn that one of the main catalysts for the book was the death of Danielsewski’s father. Reading that, it just clicked. I no longer feel any need to find answers. Theories are meaningless. It’s grief. That’s it. This is what grieving is like, this book, and you will never find something that makes it make sense (either the book or grief).

February 2023

Following the recent refurbishment of Disneyland's Haunted Mansion, something was added next to the armchair in the Endless Hallway scene. This is a bat in a cage directly inspired by a - yet- unused concept art by Marc Davis. This is a very welcomed addition for it doesn't disturb the ride and scene and directly comes from on of its original creators. This, the return of April-December, the one eyed cat statue and the upcoming arrival of Hatty at WDW leave some hope for the future of the ride, it's like a comeback to its origins.

So does Edwin actually remember every time he got torn apart by the baby doll spider?

Or does he just reform each time with the first thing he sees being his last body still being ripped to shreds by the spider but is thankfully spared from actually vividly remembering it tearing into him each time?

When Charles finds the non-bloodied version of him, Edwin actually seems somewhat surprised to see him like he doesn't remember having seen him just moments ago with his last face

Or do you think that he remembers each of the (probably thousands) of times the thing has chased him through the hallway only to catch him and feast on him again and again

This is exclusively talking about fiction. It's been a while since I've seen people talking about it, so of course that's when I've finalized my opinion on it: I think the Backrooms works better when there's some kind of Scary Grabber than when there isn't. And I'll immediately undercut myself and say that obviously different people are going to be scared of different things. From the many tumblr posts I have seen about it, it's pretty clear that letting one's own brain invent all kinds of problems can be more effective for some than some kind of creature that Gets You. I disagree. Someone slowly dying of thirst is not horrifying to me. Don't get me wrong, it is sad. It can be upsetting, especially if you get to know the character. But it isn't scary. Scary is waking up in the middle of the night and feeling your muscles twitch because you can tell that something is in the same space as you, but you just can't see it.

It's knowing, on a fundamental level, that you have been removed from the standards of modern society, to the point that you can be made into prey in a space that looks depressingly and alarmingly like your workplace.

Can you imagine? Just for a moment?

A lot of us talk about how much we hate our workplaces, and if you work in an office, you've definitely seen some Backrooms-ass spaces. We already exist there! It's already an endless void of shitty yellow walls and weird hollow music and ugly looped carpeting. That's not scary. That doesn't make my heart pound. If anything, it just makes me flatly angry, like a labor violation. No, there has to be something else, to tip it over the edge. There has to be something else in this place that's already miserable, unlivable, ugly, and unkind. I can live in an office indefinitely, I know I can, I already do. I have horrible anxiety, that will kick up until it doesn't, and after that I'm either dehydrating to death or making these ugly hallways my home. There has to be something else. Be it a boss telling me to pick up the pace or a monster that wants to kill me, these things give context! How can you possibly be afraid of yellow walls without context?
