Hello Misery Fellows,

Today, I have some cards from the House of Rot! Enoch and I were talking about the House of Flesh and needed to make some changes before we tackled that one, so we're skipping ahead a suit.

So past Anger and Bargaining, we're going right into Depression and Unreality. And we do so in style.

Each suit has had a color element going for it that really sticks it out from the others. Blades had the over the top saturated red blood. Wire had the orange-yellow wires all over. And Rot, as a dreamy escape from the other suits and Path of Misery entirely, is green-blue. And it's gorgeous.

I really love that each house, each suit, is getting a signature look so even if you don't know the different suit frames by heart, you get the clear feeling what it belongs to just by looking at it. 

• ⬛ The House 
  • The House of Rot is The Rotting Pit, where things sink down into death. This is the disgusting mass we slide into when we give up, when we feel nothing matters. And the rot, fungus, and mold here will steal our minds into nothingness.
• 0 The Folly 
  • In the House of Rot, our 0 is The Cocoon. We will slide away into our own place of isolation, and in doing so, remove ourselves from even the possibility of help. We didn't ask or yell, we merely slipped into nowhere. And here we will stay if we can't make a change. If we can't care.
• 1 The Portal 
  • In the House of Rot, our 1 is The Jelly Slit. When entering, people can see us going in. If they act quickly, they can grab us before we disappear inside forever. But we must also go in to get through. It is worth the act to try and stop people from going alone on this journey. There are other ways to feel this space than to disappear into it.
• 2 The Nemesis 
  • In the House of Rot, our 2 is The Feeder. This creature slithers over us, crushing us with its weight, as it feeds us shit. Depressive thoughts can become feedback loops, and in time our fear of ourselves, our sorrow, becomes an entity. But do not mistake it for merely what was to come, or what must be. When we see it this way, we do not even try to escape from under its weight.
• 3 The Wound 
  • In the House of Rot, our 3 is The Dreaming. This is existing purely in our minds, now. We have so disconnected from the world we exist in dreams now. And when we only live in our heads, we miss out on outside perspectives, the life of living, the world moving, shifting with other minds and experiences. Insularity is dangerous.
• 4 The Harmonic 
  • In the House of Rot, our 4 is The Rot Fields. The foundation of Rot is the gathering of our disgustingness, our depression, our mess, trash. We do not get rid of it, we simply gather into it. Then we begin to slip down inside it. It takes time, but eventually we are totally submerged. And on the way, we are alone, abandoned, or silent. We don't ask for help until it is too late. This is the substance of Rot, how it exists and continues to exist into the future.
