the weekend's ere, so yknow what that means: rambling 'bout The Familiar by MZD! specifically, I wanna talk about the color of the banners under each narrator's tag and their significance

more info under Read More per usual, and pictures for each narrator's tag + banner will be included. of course, heavy spoilers for TF, but if ya haven't read the series but want to be spoilered, be my guest. i will tag HoL mainly because of one or two specific narrator banner(s) but it’s only tangentially related.

ok so as i said, each narrator has their own banner underneath their respective tags, and those banners, like the tags, have their own significance in relation to their narrator. i'll try to summarize each narrator's banner's significance right ere right now.

Xanther:

prolly the easiest banner to gain significance from. Xanther’s banner is black, which brings to mind of Luther, whose tag is black. literally by the end of book 1 we know that the two are pretty much foils to eachother, and as the series progresses we see Xanther acquire characteristics similar to Luther (more rebellious, starts looking people in the eye, killing people (indirectly, using the cat)). not much to say that isn’t already obvious.

Anwar:

Anwar’s banner is probably the second easiest to parse. his banner’s color directly correlates to Cas’/The Wizard’s own tag. this connection is first implied in Cas’ last section in book 1, where she catches a glimpse of Xanther in the Orb, and then explicitly stated when Mefisto, an ally of Cas and Anwar’s friend, show up in books 2 and 3 in their respective sections. again, don’t have much to say bout it.

Luther:

Luther has a yellow banner. it tips the reader off that Luther and Isandorno are connected, and it shows even in the first book (both are hispanics and their sections are probably the most violent and bleakest in portraying their world. again, like Anwar, this is later confirmed in book 2 when The Mayor, Isandorno’s employer, mentions Teyo, the employer of Luther. fun fact. in the orbit piece that Danielewski wrote, it’s mentioned that Isandorno would’ve travelled up north to Cali to meet Luther, which is interesting given Isn’s ‘curse’.

Özgür and Shnorhk:

yknow what forget what i said earlier: Oz’s and Shnorhk’s are the easiest banners to parse, given that Oz’s banner is Shnorhk’s tag and vice versa. in other words, they fuckin mirror each other! this gives anticipation that they will sooner or later encounter each other (and they do- in vol5), and it is amplified by Shnorhk’s own prejudice of Turks, no thanks to the Armenian Genocide.

jingjing:

imma be honest: when i first came up w this post, it was partially bc i thought jingjing’s banner’s color was the same color as text pertaining to the minotaur from HoL. but now that i have the pic up there, i realize it’s more of a pink color. course, there is still significance in that Xanther has tian li’s (an old woman who jingjing assists/lives together with) cat, jingjing’s want for pink balloons, and the two’s confrontation in the last book. that said, i wouldn’t completely disregard my own first assumption given that A) he is described in vol5 in terms related to the minotaur (red-routed eyes), and B) this banner’s color is too dark pink to be explicitly Xanther’s color: maybe a mix between pink and red?

Isandorno:

isandorno’s is simple at first: his banner matches Shnorhk’s tag. thing is, there isn’t that much to connect the two with all the material we got. only thing i have to say they’re connected is that they both seem burnt out/cynical, and their narrations are stated by Narcon 9 to be translated from another language (mostly, in Shnorhk’s case). maybe if the series went on Isandorno would’ve met Shnorhk when the former hails the cab that the latter drives?

Astair:

ok i’ll be honest: i’m not sure what Astair’s banner signifies. if we go by the usual ‘banner color matches another narrator’s tag’ shtick, it would imply Isandorno would play a significant role in Astair’s life (could you imagine) but Astair’s banner isn’t really yellow: it’s more of a lighter shade of orange. well, if Astair’s own tag is orange, then her lighter orange banner might signify how self-absorbed she tends to be in her narration (the seizure alert dog, for example, was more because Astair loves/wanted dogs and less for Xanther’s sake).

Cas:

last but not least: cas’ banner is a blue color. like Isandorno and Shnorhk, there isn’t much to connect Cas to jingjing, who has a blue tag. besides, jingjing’s is more of a lighter/pale blue, which connects him to the pale blues he starts to smoke. in that case, do you know what DOES correlate to Cas’ banner?

The House.

a bit of a stretch, yes, but i can say with 95% certainty that the color of house text is the same as Cas’ own banner. i have no idea myself what it means except Cas’ very last section in the whole series was titled ‘The Labyrinth’.

Yeah.

one last thing i realized halfway thru typing this goddamn post: none of the narrators’ banners are green. yeah Anwar’s own tag is green, but besides that none of the narrators has a green banner. even Xanther’s and jingjing’s tag colors kinda show up in other narrator’s sections (jingjing and cas, respectively), even if they’re not the same color. it’s noted that green tends to signify goodness and benevolence (Anwar being shown as a compassionate stepfather, green being tian li’s (and jingjing’s) thing, etc.).

#the familiar #mark z danielewski #… #house of leaves #really unsure if i should even have that tag cuz again it’s barely related #ah well who give a shit #anyways lets see how long it takes til i make another tf post

Hello Kitty, Kitty! 💖🎀✨

I’m so happy with how she came trough, as she’s my own little interpetation and I just went with my gut here! 💞

It’s the last day of Närcon, and it’s been amazing!

The panels were amazing, weather was great, and I’ve never been stopped so much for pictures and just people gushing over my cosplays, all three of them 🥹🩷

Finished sprousing up my Buffalo’s for the Hello Kitty cosplay for Närcon 🌸💫💞

Maybe I’ll try the entire Hello Kitty cosplay tomorrow??? 🌸💫💞

I usually suck at trying on finished cosplays before I’m literally at the con, and both Denki and Louise Belcher are ready and already worn, except Denki who has a new little outfit! ⚡️

#the Buffalo’s are gonna stay like that ofc #I’ll happily wear them like that #always #hello kitty #hello kitty cosplay #cosplay tag #irl tag #personal #rambles #narcon winter #narcon tag

Finally leaving for Närcon tomorrow!

First a long roadtrip tomorrow, then three days full of con fun, and then home again Sunday!

All of the cosplays have turned out great, I have a new dress for Louise with a better color, Denki has a whole new outfit including shoes in his colors, and the brand new Hello Kitty turned out cute as hell!! 

The weather is a little dodgy on Thursday, just a few hours of potential rain, and then it looks perfect elsewise!

She’s still in her icon era.

So happy for Her.
