MY BRAIN HURTS
15 years ago
General
Through a curious turn of events, I stumbled upon MS Paint Adventures last night. Yes, everyone and their parasitic worm has been telling me to read this, but no, OF COURSE I never listen unless I'm the one who's telling me to do things. That would make TOO MUCH SENSE.
Anyway I started reading Homestuck and I guess altogether I've been reading it for about ... nine hours? How is it even possible to have that much content in less than a year. It's just crazy. Wheels within wheels within wheels within ARGH
So I thought I'd take a break and read Problem Sleuth insteadbut I can't see anything from any of the stories other than Homestuck, except for the text, but what's the fun in that, HAHA DISREGARD THAT I SUCK COCKS and Homestuck is getting into my brain and if I don't stop I'm going to go insane and start thinking that maybe I'm just dreaming because nothing in real life could be that large and complex

FA+

Also Problem Sleuth is much longer and much, MUCH crazier than Homestuck. If Homestuck is burrowed in your head, Problem Sleuth will make it explode.
I'm, uh. I'm gonna be busy for a while now.
PLOT DEVICES and CHARACTERS
i love it so
....NURRRRRRRRSSSE!!!!...... <.<

Oh man does it ever.
I finished it weeks ago.
Still thinking about it.
Or maybe I'm just obsessing with a crazy book.
But, both get into your head, and they both contain related terms--house and home. They're also both kindof complex.
But with House of Leaves... I was just looking into a connection between it and the Pearl Jam album, Vitalogy. There are a lot of little things that make me thing I may be on to something. (Also, someone claimed somewhere, without any reference to back it up, that the author said he was listening to a lot of Pearl Jam when he wrote the book.)
A few months later, they moved into a new house. It was the same house in his dream, only it didn't have a basement--the same door opened onto the water heater.
When I was a kid, I had dreams a few times that involved finding a doorway in the back of my parents' closet that lead into another bedroom with a bathroom attached to it. It was pretty cool, but in the dream, if I was alone in the new room, it started to feel kindof creepy.
One thing I've wanted to ask of someone who read it--did you think of the labyrinth as being part of the house, or as something else? I noticed how they kept talking about it as part of the house, because in my mind, it was as if they went somewhere else--somewhere 'unheimlich' to borrow a foreign word form the book.
What if someone was unfamiliar with it?
Also, I just thought this up: What is bliss, for a cynic? "A sar-gasm!" *rimshot, then just shot*
No, one can not be TOLD to read MS Paint Adventures. One must discover it ON HIS/HER OWN.
My journey, for instance, began when I discovered Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff. The comic about the stairs has been posted everywhere. I'd seen it many times before. But it was only NOW, when the time was right, that I discovered that it was actually a part of MSPA.
No, merely TELLING people to read MSPA won't work. You must INSTILL THE SEED that will eventually blossom into a mature, succulent fruit.
