netflix hill house is a good horror show but why did they name it after this book like. it’s so not the same type of ghost story. tv hill house is haunted by ghosts that are very scary guys. hill house the book doesn’t have any ghost guys. the book characters were never a family, that’s kind of made a point of. and nell can’t be theo’s sweet innocent dead sister bc she’s theo’s jealous mean nasty wonderful toxic yuri life ruiner. call it smth else…
deeply unlikeable and unpleasant female characters are actually so important for the ecosystem and also as a good litmus test over if a person is Weird about women or not
I think there's a part of Ortega that is vindicated when Step reveals themselves as a villain. Like, they knew they weren't retired, they knew they didn't give up, knew they would never stop fighting. They just happen to be on the other side now. It's a tiny victory inside a greater loss. That fire that Ortega admired didn't go out, it changed.
