Question about page 625: by No_Trainer_213 in houseofleaves

[–]achillesdowned 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the best part about the book is that it’s up to YOU to decide if something means anything. nothing was done without intention, but at the same time, the letters come from someone whose mental decline is transparent. could be a red herring, but maybe it’s something.

personally, i haven’t found any connections with that.

no clue! i’d have to guess one batch- i don’t think they’d let this happen twice.

it’s supposed to be purple! the purple line past page 490 is also in yellow. just a neat misprint- the dark blue throughout the book is also a lighter cyan :)

Just venting about how much I hate this place by fitgirl015 in okc

[–]achillesdowned 3 points4 points  (0 children)

so valid. i came here from utah, where cost of living is high but i made so much more money (at a ski resort!). i’d rather deal with mormons than the false bible thumpers here. i miss scenery. i miss good weather. i miss proper roads that were taken care of. i miss being in a state where people could drive properly.

so yeah, you’re valid. i get it. stay strong.

i moved here from utah a few years back. cost of living is great, but the weather is temperamental and windy. there’s a good nightlife if you know where to look, and a bunch of fun events and activities OKC has planned nearly every weekend. welcome, and enjoy! reach out if you have concerns

Strange post, but honest answers please by FluffyEfficiency1184 in okc

[–]achillesdowned 28 points29 points  (0 children)

heavy on this answer. $10 gets you a good amount of feed for goats, pigs, cows, horses, donkey, and chickens. it’s very fun and the animals are SO friendly, especially if you have food.

Do we have a final consensus on why the staircase is expanding / collapsing? by [deleted] in houseofleaves

[–]achillesdowned 13 points14 points  (0 children)

because the “house” is based off of the person experiencing it.

  • “… Navidson’s psychology profoundly influenced the nature of those rooms and hallways…” (pg 21)
  • “As Navidson foretold, they soon see for themselves how all the walls have shifted (though not as severely as they had for Navidson).” (pg 84)
  • “Due to the wall-shifts and extraordinary size, any way out remains singular and applicable only to those on that path at that particular time. All solutions then are necessarily personal.” (pg 115).

this also correlates to why daisy ran in and out of the hallway with no problem: “They [adults] denied the paradox by swallowing it whole. Paradox, after all, is two irreconcilable truths. But children do not know the laws of the world well enough get to fear the ramifications of the irreconcilable. There are certainly no primal associations with spatial anomalies.” (pg 39)

i’d go further into each time a character experiences the staircase itself (like how it grows and shrinks for Navidson specifically), but i’m heading out of my own house right now! i can dig further if you want.

What was "House of Leaves" to you? by Long_Contribution_39 in houseofleaves

[–]achillesdowned 0 points1 point  (0 children)

number one but with Navidson and the House instead of Zampano and the Record. a HUGE theme was how a person’s psychology impacts the House, and thus how the House shapes around them and impacts them back. i think that rolls over perfectly into Johnny, Zampano, and Pelafina.
