I’m basic and have always wanted to visit the Stahl House https://stahlhouse.com/

I know it’s been featured in a lot of media but my favorite is it being John Stewart’s house in Playing by Heart because it just felt random (I think he’s supposed to be an architect so not random in context).

I've always been super basic and wanted to live in a brownstone. Dream big!!

(but I'm a realist so I know I need to find a new dream place 😂)

Modernism being associated with evil always makes me >.> because those supervillains are always evil geniuses who are defeated by being stupid and defeated by muscles. Brawn over brains lmao.

But man i want a modernist or post-modernist house. I am just so into the aesthetic, especially brutalism. I guess that makes me evil.

My grad school campus had a lot of brutalist structures and buildings on campus and gave me an appreciation for them. There's some beautiful structures all over the African continent; I adore the African Brutalism account on Insta.

I used to work across the street from the infamous 33 Thomas Street in NYC which has influenced a lot of shady organization HQs in media (also in reality since it's an NSA listening site called Titanpointe as labeled on Google Maps even) and that building is *chef's kiss* it's even influenced my own writing just by existing and being shady as fuck.

And since my internet has come back on after it's daily outage, here are some videos! And if you have ever played the video game Control, it was the inspiration for The Oldest House, but it's been the inspiration behind lots of creepy things.
