there is a very weird specific way i feel when i see people who are very passionate about a very niche thing get so extremely annoyed about average people making mistakes about it so they make a very condescendingly worded venty PSA about it.

like they use this very mean tone about something they are personally upset by that the average person has literally no reason to have ever even questioned before and it just... treats anyone who didn't take some specific college class as a total idiot personally out to purposely ruin their day, instead of remembering they're in a position to genuinely educate on an issue that is honestly fucking harmless.

#txt #they're right i just wish they weren't so unbearable about it outside of their personal/academic circles bc misinfo IS important to correct #an example being how we call pics with wild composition Renaissance Paintings when we mean... baroque i think? #idk there was some angry psa about it forever ago #that i obvs still remember and so i know every time i say ren painting it's wrong #but at this point 1) no one else is going to know what i mean if i say baroque painting and 2) the tone was soooooo #annoying that i kinda wanna keep making that mistake on purpose out of spite even tho it's wrong!! #which is Bad but.............................. if ur trying to bestow knowledge upon us mere mortals maybe don't be a dick about it jskldf; #i get it bc i have my own topics i'm like that for but i think if i were ever going to outright make a psa i would... #yknow........ #use a tone ppl would want to actually listen to me from because i know my annoyance is not what the world revolves around #it's not like tone policing where the person is like personally impacted by it on a foundational identity level #i'm not telling someone they need to talk about racism in a palatable way for white people #in Most cases this is just random academics who spend way too much time engaging solely with people in their field #who then have paper skin and glass bones whenever they interact with someone at the grocery store who #has no need to know anything about this #if you want to come across less misinfo you can educate people!!! kindly!!!!! #if you want to come off like a super smart pretentious asshole above us all then go for what i'm talking about i guess

#i THINK this is more votes than he got last year but i don’t remember and im too busy to find the post rn #edit: no he did worse in both votes and rank actually #i mean i guess that's to be expected since most of the engage cast ranked above him. but still. MAN... #tactician's log #heroes #cyl8 #gaiusposting #sumia actually did better than him. is the sumia renaissance finally upon us #im too deep in the gaius hole at this point but god what i wouldn’t give for brave queen sumia #although feh would probably just do dark flier or something. to avoid provoking 90% of the awakening fanbase

we've found it folks: mcmansion heaven

Hello everyone. It is my pleasure to bring you the greatest house I have ever seen. The house of a true visionary. A real ad-hocist. A genuine pioneer of fenestration. This house is in Alabama. It was built in 1980 and costs around $5 million. It is worth every penny. Perhaps more.

Now, I know what you're thinking: "Come on, Kate, that's a little kooky, but certainly it's not McMansion Heaven. This is very much a house in the earthly realm. Purgatory. McMansion Purgatory." Well, let me now play Beatrice to your Dante, young Pilgrim. Welcome. Welcome, welcome, welcome.

It is rare to find a house that has everything. A house that wills itself into Postmodernism yet remains unable to let go of the kookiest moments of the prior zeitgeist, the Bruce Goffs and Earthships, the commune houses built from car windshields, the seventies moments of psychedelic hippie fracture. It is everything. It has everything. It is theme park, it is High Tech. It is Renaissance (in the San Antonio Riverwalk sense of the word.) It is medieval. It is maybe the greatest pastiche to sucker itself to the side of a mountain, perilously overlooking a large body of water. Look at it. Just look.

The inside is white. This makes it dreamlike, almost benevolent. It is bright because this is McMansion Heaven and Gray is for McMansion Hell. There is an overbearing sheen of 80s optimism. In this house, the credit default swap has not yet been invented, but could be.

It takes a lot for me to drop the cocaine word because I think it's a cheap joke. But there's something about this example that makes it plausible, not in a derogatory way, but in a liberatory one, a sensuous one. Someone created this house to have a particular experience, a particular feeling. It possesses an element of true fantasy, the thematic. Its rooms are not meant to be one cohesive composition, but rather a series of scenes, of vastly different spatial moments, compressed, expanded, bright, close.

And then there's this kitchen for some reason. Or so you think. Everything the interior design tries to hide, namely how unceasingly peculiar the house is, it is not entirely able to because the choices made here remain decadent, indulgent, albeit in a more familiar way.

Rare is it to discover an interior wherein one truly must wear sunglasses. The environment created in service to transparency has to somewhat prevent the elements from penetrating too deep while retaining their desirable qualities. I don't think an architect designed this house. An architect would have had access to specifically engineered products for this purpose. Whoever built this house had certain access to architectural catalogues but not those used in the highest end or most structurally complex projects. The customization here lies in the assemblage of materials and in doing so stretches them to the height of their imaginative capacity. To borrow from Charles Jencks, ad-hoc is a perfect description. It is an architecture of availability and of adventure.

A small interlude. We are outside. There is no rear exterior view of this house because it would be impossible to get one from the scrawny lawn that lies at its depths. This space is intended to serve the same purpose, which is to look upon the house itself as much as gaze from the house to the world beyond.

Living in a city, I often think about exhibitionism. Living in a city is inherently exhibitionist. A house is a permeable visible surface; it is entirely possible that someone will catch a glimpse of me they're not supposed to when I rush to the living room in only a t-shirt to turn out the light before bed. But this is a space that is only exhibitionist in the sense that it is an architecture of exposure, and yet this exposure would not be possible without the protection of the site, of the distance from every other pair of eyes. In this respect, a double freedom is secured. The window intimates the potential of seeing. But no one sees.

At the heart of this house lies a strange mix of concepts. Postmodern classicist columns of the Disney World set. The unpolished edge of the vernacular. There is also an organicist bent to the whole thing, something more Goff than Gaudí, and here we see some of the house's most organic forms, the monolith- or shell-like vanity mixed with the luminous artifice of mirrors and white. A backlit cave, primitive and performative at the same time, which is, in essence, the dialectic of the luxury bathroom.

And yet our McMansion Heaven is still a McMansion. It is still an accumulation of deliberate signifiers of wealth, very much a construction with the secondary purpose of invoking envy, a palatial residence designed without much cohesion. The presence of golf, of wood, of masculine and patriarchal symbolism with an undercurrent of luxury drives that point home. The McMansion can aspire to an art form, but there are still many levels to ascend before one gets to where God's sitting.
