to clarify some things just because
this is a funny
i cant claim to know what the inspirations for myhouse were aside from, very obviously, house of leaves
yume nikki itself is inspired by lsdde, but i feel like its usage of wordless Suggested storytelling may have influenced my house, where you can try to piece together a story just from the spaces you travel- in yn you have multiple worlds like that, the first that comes to mind being the hit and run.
lsd dream emulator i feel may have influenced my house Independently from yume nikki, particularly with the way levels interconnect and loop back around on one another in a 3d setting
P.T. definitely belongs here like obviously but consider this: i forgor. and itd look weird if it wasnt a triangle. realistically, its Probably an even bigger influence than house of leaves. i mean, it's PT. its PT.
the complete absence, aside from HoL, of house-centric media is not an oversight because despite everything, myhouse really isn't about the house. the "haunted house" isnt the house itself, it's the doom map of the house- the building is irrelevant, what matters is that its the space Tom created. the reason the house's layout repeats itself everywhere isn't because the house matters, it's because that was the layout tom created in the original map that steve decided to update. do you understand THIS? the house isnt alive, the myhouse.wad is alive. there is a distinction and the distinction is crucial. the analog to the house on ash tree lane isnt the house itself, because there is no real world physical house present in the story, since its only about the mod based on said house. the analog to the house on ash tree lane, to This House (skinamarink acknowledgement), to the monster house, is the map.
thank you for coming to my tedtalk. its 6:30pm and i just ate subway after i started my day at 5pm having gone to sleep at 6 something am with a full xanax following a night of drinking red bull. i need to take my magnesium pills to balance my energy.
btw the gay monster house is something i'm doing myself stay tuned for that.

in truth i dont even know if we can legitimately consider myhouse part of houseposting... but i will anyway because it carries the same spirit. even if its about a doom map. like in fiction its about a doom map.
#myhouse#myhouse.wad#myhouse.pk3#if you people saw the original post youll see this too because we're all housefags who are in the tag looking for content that understands#it. and isnt just like WOW. LIMINAL SPACE. speaking of i think the inclusion of the backrooms and the pool area are a detriment to the mod.#at least the backrooms is a funny easter egg bc you literlaly have to noclip.#nothing major and i guess i only think that because i know about the annoying liminal space trends (emphasis on trends) i love that kind of#imagery and was interested long before their explosion in 2020. same with the backrooms. i was there in like 2018 thinking about the post.#before it all went to hell.#then again i experiened the same thing with analog horror.#perhaps nothing is sacred.#at least our little houseposting corner seems safe because to even care at all you need to understand its nuance#though that didnt stop people from ignoring what made the backrooms creepy and just adding levels and monsters to make an scp ripoff i mean#there is literally a wiki with like numbered articles and shit. its wild.#anyway. if youre reading this all the way down here hows it going? good day so far? do me a solid- go listen to a quick one before the eter#al worm devours connecticut. maybe you already know it but its one of my fav songs ever from one of my fav albums from one of my fav artist#not have a nice life in general though they rule but rather dan barrett who also did giles corey and black wing#did you know hes bisexual? its awesome. he made a song called guilt is my boyfriend. its really good. under the giles corey name
