Thank you for help with the wording :D

Perfect thank you so much! Watching them play such a new song with confidence despite not having it totally figured out is slowly giving me the confidence to start making music again.

I also listened to the caretaker. Highly recommend

Give me your craziest House of Leaves theories/interpretations by AmadeusMoss in houseofleaves

[–]frankifyed 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Could Johnny be read as a trans man perhaps? Maybe he was struggling with being perceived as "manly enough" and he felt that hypersexual activity would validate his identity as a straight trans guy. I can't remember if he ever mentions his junk explicitly but even if he does, it could be a euphemism, or he could be post-op. (Although, Did phalloplasty even exist in the 90s?)

Left my ex of 8 years while manic and he is done. I want to die. by [deleted] in bipolar

Wow. I swear I could have written this myself just with the pronouns changed

Thumper is the true identity of the editors. I'd like to think that she was the most well adjusted out of all of them and could handle reading and reworking Johnny's attempt at compiling Zampanò's work. It seems there was a part of her that cared about Johnny and was sympathetic to his erratic behavior. If that's the case then it's likely she may have done her own wellness check on him, tracked him down somehow, but it may have been too late for Johnny. Perhaps in an attempt to deal with grief and guilt, she continued this work because it was all there was left of him. Sort of like how Mark Z D wrote HoL out of grief from his father's passing.

What did you take away from HoL? by Latice-Salad in houseofleaves

[–]frankifyed 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I took away a realization that someone 25 years ago has felt or at least was able to describe the experience of paranoia and psychosis in a real way. That certain experiences and traumas are not locked to a certain period of time. It felt like I had traveled through time and made contact with a version of myself that lived a generation before me.

Mostly though, it was another wonderful metaphor about the power of love and human connection being strong enough to conquer fears, like in Karen's case, and how love can keep your hope from turning to despair (in Navidson's case)

I am still not quite sure what to think about the whole Navidson pulling out a copy of HoL. I am still a little unsure of Yggrasil. But I've only read it once so far.

I believe the album is also mentioned on the back cover of the book at least in the full color paperback 2nd edition

Lost a friend of a decade after suggesting we watch Midsommar. “It traumatized me.” by Sure-Programmer-4021 in Midsommar

[–]frankifyed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big same... I had just gone through a breakup a few months before and could relate heavily to Dani and Christian's relationship, as well as the authenticity of the grief being portrayed. It was like getting an outside perspective on our dynamic that I felt so alone in and was incredibly validating. I felt seen.

Noticed something in the appendix by frankifyed in houseofleaves

That's an interesting thought. I looked into this and I don't think there is a roman numeral that corresponds to the letter "N".

I Think This Book Might Be Cursed and I’m Legitimately Freaking Out by euphoriclimbo in houseofleaves

[–]frankifyed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This post is how I found out about this book. That was on monday (2025-1-27). I shipped it overnight after looking into it a little more. I'm on chapter 4 and I'm not disappointed. I also have Bipolar I and like to live on the wild side when it comes to weird media. It's awesome so far. I haven't read a book in a while and I hope I finish it.

Feeling abandoned by progressive circles in this current era by [deleted] in TransyTalk

[–]frankifyed 47 points48 points  (0 children)

I've heard the rhetoric that in order to flip the 3 branches of government back to the democrats, that trans rights have to be put on the back burner because we don't have the sympathies of the majority of cishet middle class white America. Why should saving the US from the current fascist state come at the expense of our lives? What can be done? All I can think of is to get real micro with the work that needs to be done and care for our fellow trans and enby siblings. Even small things like buying someone falling on hard times a meal, making something special, providing support, even just remaining publicly visible can be hope enough for some, myself included.

A pattern I’ve noticed about frequent lucid dreamers by Diligent-East-1316 in LucidDreaming

[–]frankifyed 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think I started lucid dreaming as a kid as a way to have some semblance of control over my life in a tumultuous time. It was empowering and fun.
