Some beautiful photos from a trip to House On The Rock in Wisconsin. A very interestingly unsettling creative nightmare. A beautiful walk through the uncanny valley.
Only a couple of months later, I’ve finally started trying to sort through some of theses pictures I took using these fabulous paper dolls made for me by @cutestkilla!!!
This whole thing was for an unpublished portion of one of my WIPs in which Penelope and Baz are kinda-sorta tricked into going to Wisconsin instead of California, and where they meet a new friend who tells them about how his family’s annual trips to The House on the Rock were his introduction to the world of magic, and he introduces them to many of his friends therein.
I really didn’t take much time to find like the cream of the crop or anything, I honestly just wanted to get some of these out there 😅
(It was actually... so hard to choose which pictures to post. If I didn’t know better, I’d say that this was the first time I had ever used a camera in my life---None of the pictures are great, but there were kind of a lot of them...)
This was so much fun! Someday I will take pictures with the Halloween costumes that @cutestkilla also made for them, and one day I’ll maybe even get around to writing the House on the Rock portion of that fic! Possibly in time for Halloween 2023! 😆 We will see...
Penny near a giant carousel
Fuzzy Simon, giving us a better view of the giant carousel
Fuzzy Baz, also by the carousel
Can’t find any of them with the actual automaton orchestras, but there’s the sign...
Baz and Simon have to share a bed, obviously.
This might be my favorite of the pictures
Look at that guy! Such a fun dude
Gotta get the snacks in
IDK, just seemed right
Infinity room, hell yeah!
The fate’s confirm Penny’s lovability
This used to be another snack place, but now it’s just a big friggin’ pointless room full of tables and chairs...
Penny’s fortune
Baz’s fortune
Simon’s fortune
Shepard’s fortune
That’s all I think, I know it’s not much, but I am... quite sleepy. I assume that I will wake up in the morning remembering this post as a fever dream and being very confused by the choices I’ve made here.
