Another jacket I made

I’m going to need the doctor to put a chair in his tardis not just bc he “has no friends” but because the number of girly pops he’s picking up from modern day earth he is bound to end up with someone with POTs on his hands and he won’t have a chair for them and then they’ll pass out on the console and we’ll have another wild blue yonder on our hands

hate to post the same content twice but oh my good god looking at old art vs new is so funny.

4 years diff. granted I was probably 11-12 at the time of the first. SAME FUCKING CHARACTER I CANNOT

never give up your dreams guys!!! one day that freaky scrawny twink will become hot well rendered man.

started reading house of leaves. damn, marble hornets did a really good inspired work off of it. absolutely fantastic book so far, 100% recommend it! though definitely not just a quick read, more a "sit down for an hour and mull over it."

Poragative is such a good word. Progateeeeev. My protagative. Prodagiv. Proragative. Prog. :)

HIYA I'm kingfisher or kugel, alt of @kugelblitzzed cause too many irls know it and I fear I STILL have shame (cringe isn't even real shoo go away.) probably most content will remain on my main but this more mini shit posts, life updates + the occasional headcanon. art, rambles, etc stay on main.

the first think my autism riddled 11 year old ass did upon gaining sentience was fixate the fuck out of creepypasta and look at that!!! 4 years later I'm back. just less cringe I'd hope.

I lose my absolute shit for tribetwelve (fuck adam rosner but noah could get it), currently rewatching everymanhybrid and binging nightmind's stuff cause heaven knows i love to ramble about lore.

don't be shy to say hi! I'm so friendly i swear.

HOW TO READ : HOUSE OF LEAVES

A small advice post on how to read House of Leaves, a notoriously confusing book.

01 , 100% read the introduction.

Going into the book, for some reason I got the impression that the introduction is just a foreword by the writer, talking about "blah blah the book was fun to write." However, the introduction is VERY crucial. This technically isn't a spoiler since it's the very beginning of the book.

02 , Lose the impression that Mark Danielewski wrote the book.

Yes, obviously he did write it, but to avoid confusion the reader should disregard that. In your mind, pretend that the key author is Zampano, and the annotations are from a version Johnny Truant stumbled upon. It sounds simple, but it avoids a hell of a lot of confusion.

03 , You're supposed to be confused.

Yeah. It's an intentionally extremely confusing book, so that only certain parts make sense later on. Many people read it multiple times over, so just trust through until the end.

04 , Read all the annotations.

Though they may seem incredibly long-winded and mean absolutely nothing, a lot of them are extremely key. Some people choose to avoid them and only read Zampano's works (which is fine too!), but for the best understanding I'd read the notes. Generally, don't bother with small citations to news articles. However, it is worth checking the annotations every time. For example, in chapter one there is a reference to Dante's Inferno written in Italian. There is a translation in the annotations!

05 , Most of the difficult layouts have small keys.

As the book progresses, the layout becomes increasingly confusing. If something is impossible to read, you're probably not supposed to read it. For many of the layouts that wind around the page, there will be small arrows guiding you. Just trust that the author will not make it impossible.

06 , Only pick up the book when expecting a long session.

House of Leaves is VERY much not just a "quick read." You wanna sit down for a hell of a long time for it and to make sense of it all.

07 , Again, read everything except from when told to check the endnotes.

Although, you can probably skip that 3 pages of names.

08 , You're supposed to feel anxious.

The writer is exceptional in this genre and creating emotion. When paragraphs are long-winded, it's intentional to make you feel as though it draws on in a ramble. When the statements are quick, you're supposed to be a little dazed. You might find yourself feeling lost with the annotations, but that's pretty much the point.

And most of all - enjoy!

It's very much a "push through" book, but don't read it if you find yourself absolutely bored to death. If you hate long books, House of Leaves might not be your cup of tea. I personally loved it, and so do many others.
