Oh please give us more of the Dream House AU...I'm such a sucker for sentient buildings and (I'm assuming) that this is that sort of situation.
As always, your art is glorious and haunting. You have such a way with color!!!
HELLO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 FIRST OF ALL THANK YOUUUUUUUU FOR YOUR WORDS SKFVBKSBDVBAKDBVAKDVBAKDBKVADJV (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ)(´▽`ʃ♡ƪ)(´▽`ʃ♡ƪ)இ௰இஇ௰இஇ௰இ I- I love color shfbvkhsabdvk aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaOkieee soososososo here I come here I come… 
tagging @pursuingyourtrueself for the House too!!! sakdbvakbdkv
YOU ARE RIGHT!!!!! SDKBVKABDSVJKBAKDV SENTIENT BUILDINGS ARE TOP TOP, CHEF KISS FOREVER AND EVER MY LOVE
Tbh I did tried to do some comic…(which didn’t work sfkvbsjv mostly because I was having some shift in the way I draw and well skbvksvd)
Here the "comic" sdkjvnjksd -If I reboot it, im gonna go a different route
The premise is that, indeed, Dream IS the House, or at least the concept of “A House” in my brain, he is something that has been there, like, forever, you don´t know how or when or who did the House (since in the main story, it belongs to Johanna´s family, but she doesn’t really know about it either, and her family suggest that she should not look for info, its an asset, and well, who wouldn’t like to have a House where you can go to in summer/winter breaks?)
It´s so old that not even memories remain in its rooms. 
My main insp….as expected is…this vid…. THAT I NEVER STOP TO RECOMMEND SKDVBKADV
youtube
Since I saw it, it immediately clicked, its quite different, and at the time, whenever I saw this stuff or read something related to it, I didn't know how to put it, what to name it(?) and when I saw the vid, my mind went
Tumblr media
its not like a ghost story it is the concept of the place, simply being…alive….in some sense fbksjfb
The things that haunt them are the people that reside in them, isn’t that amazing????
Some sort like a parasite, or a symbiotic relationship (the video is ART and it explains SO MUCH BETTER than I could ever do!)
"You take care of me, I will do the same for you"  Contemplates the House
Gotta admit that this vid made me play some bits of Control JKSBDSBVKJABDVK
I SUCK AT VIDEOGAMES LIKE THAT AND YET I DID TRIED AJDVNJADV
ALSO HAVE YOU GUYS SEE THE MY HOUSE.WAD???? AMAZINGGGG
ALSO THE APARTMENT FROM SILENT HILL 4, WHICH, MY FAV SILENT HILL AND MY ULTIMATE BLORBO ALSO FOLLOW SOMEHOW THAT PREMIse
-A bit of…spoiler…I guess…
The apartment, to Walter (another character), becomes his mother figure, he was left there as a baby, and so, all his life, he thought of it as his mother, he went there always, and began the 21 sacraments in other to finally be with her (It) The apartment becames the womb of a mother, that safe space. It lives. It is a motherly figure, the apartment, in the game is the place where you return, and each time you leave, you have to go through this hole, like being birthed over and over and over again, and Henry (HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY) has to come back.
And it is like, very amazing imo, to understand that some objects do have life, not because we give it to them, but because they always had it.
They are just waiting, and least you expect, its happening.
SO DREAM IS A HOUSE AJKDBVJABDJVADV DREAM HOUSE DREAM HOUSE WUWUWUUWUWUWW
and tbh I´m not sure if to name it like that (originally it was named halp me 2.0) so Dream House....idk if its provisional or if its gonna remain like that..... kadbvkjbadv

-Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson ( HILL HOUSE, HILLL HOUSSSSEEEEE)
-Hereditary (mostly the vibes of being watched, feeling trapped on your "secure" place)
-Superliminal (game, mostly the vibes)
-Poltergeist (mostly the beginning and the way the family react to the events)
-Paintings by Dragan Bibin
-Gallows by Cocoroise (leaving aside the lyrics, the sounds...THE MUSIC AUUUUUUGHHHHHHHHHH PERFECTIONNN)
