we're not Nazis btw - awful.systems

you would never see a scene like this in a Nazi household

ok so this is driving me crazy

am I weird for thinking the circle of candles in the fireplace (in a house that’s allegedly unbearably cold) is weird?

is this… are these motherfuckers roleplaying a dril tweet

It’s weird, but it’s normal weird. It’s the kind of thing you see in design magazines and pinterest and the spruce. I don’t know if actual rich people do it but it’s definitely fairly normal middlebrow home decor.

(A lot of fireplaces in older US buildings are vestigial, often blocked up, and are inefficient at heating.)

it’s also definitely the sort of shit you see in some midmarket airbnb’s (because it’s in design magazines)
