On the first day, you stepped into the house for the first time. From the moment you crossed the threshold, you could feel something was off. Was it in the hum of the heating turning on for the first time in years? The strangely melodic creaks of the floorboards? Or maybe in the slightly sticky surfaces of the kitchen? You couldn't tell - it always seemed like it was lingering right outside of your field of view, but never once could you quite put your finger on it.
You visited every room, making note of the state of disarray the house was in, of discarded objects and smashed pieces of furniture, graffiti and scattered leaves that littered the floor almost everywhere. You had composed yourself after the first wave of unease, but you would still hold your breath every time you turned a corner. After that initial visit, you set up your tent and inflatable mattress in the master bedroom. You had determined that the large canopy bed was solid, but its mattress was speckled with mold, no good to sleep on for the first night. You bundled up in a thin blanket despite the summer heat, hugging yourself as you struggled to relax. When your breathing finally slowed and tension finally drained from your body, I leaned over you, inches away from touching you, to feel the warmth of your skin. But on that first night, I let you sleep in peace.
animated movies i think everyone should watch at least once in their life
1) into/ across the spiderverse
so beautiful. amazing story, full of emotion and color. very cool mixed animation style, combining 2D and 3D. insane use of color theory, and full of detail and depth. 11/10.

4) puss in boots: the last wish
listen. you don鈥檛 have to watch any other puss in boots movies to like this one. you don鈥檛 even need to like puss in boots. another 2D and 3D animation mix, and it鈥檚 gorgeous. hilarious, and very, very good depictions of a lot of things (no spoilers). plenty of adult jokes packed in, too.
(netflix)
5) the house
honestly horrifying. three different storylines. very unclear ending and uncomfy all the way through. absolutely recommend, especially if you like don鈥檛 hug me, i鈥檓 scared. implications and deeper meaning in everything.
