big ol’ lesbian subtext fyi

shit for real?

‘63’s The Haunting was one of my favorite movies when I was a kid and I finally got the book (a gift from my father’s bestie, whom I consult for everything sci-fi, speculative, horror, and macabre literature) but haven’t made time to read it yet

I prefer We Have Always Lived in the Castle, but I love them both.  I can’t decide which is actually gayer (though WHALIC is “gay” in a creepy incestuous way)  But Merricat is def. the originally misandrist cat lady.

OH LOOK PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT TWO OF MY FAVORITE BOOKS

I’LL JUST

INSERT MYSELF AWKWARDLY INTO THE CONVERSATION

HEY

HOW’S IT GOING

I’M THINKING OF SHIRLEY JACKSON AND TOUCHING MYSELF

WAIT

THAT CAME OUT WRONG

well I guess I know what my new breaktime reading book is

I bet that coldbitterness will chime into this lovefest at some point because I know she loves Shirley Jackson, cats, and amanita phalloides.
