I have no idea what Wayside School is

quasi-normalcy

It’s a trilogy of absurdist children’s novels published by Louis Sachar (the author of Holes) about a school that was supposed to be one storey with thirty rooms but is actually thirty storeys with a room on each floor because the builders were holding the plans sideways (and apparently this is how architecture works). Each book consists of a series of thirty loosely interrelated short stories about the students on the thirtieth floor, and there are a bunch of weird anomalous things that become running gags throughout the novels and, actually, now that I think about it, I can definitely see how Night Vale would have been inspired by this

Imo the cut of his jacket and the shoes he chose are pretty cool, but what I really love is that he’s wearing a green carnation. That’s the Victorian queer code, the symbol of gay solidarity from the nascence of western queer identity. I don’t know much about fashion, but that’s not boring me.
