god forbid women do anything like going to a haunted house out of loneliness and getting unhealthily attached to another woman and becoming the haunting itself and then driving into a tree. nobody even stopped her so why is that her fault.

“Don’t do it, Eleanor told the little girl; insist on your cup of stars; once they have trapped you into being like everyone else you will never see your cup of stars again; don’t do it; and the little girl glanced at her, and smiled a little subtle, dimpling, wholly comprehending smile, and shook her head stubbornly at the glass. Brave girl, Eleanor thought; wise, brave girl.”

Eleanor Vance should NOT have been at the club (she should have been at her little cottage with her white cat and her oleanders) (and her stone lions) (and her cup of stars)
#i'm rereading (re-listening) and i'm a mess#when a book is so good you're actively sad about how you didn't discover it earlier#the fact that you can't search this book without the goddam nnetflix series coming up first is a punishment against me personally#for my bad posts#the haunting of hill house#eleanor vance#shirley jackson

um. she haunt on my hill til i house?
finished reading the entire back half of the haunting of hill house by shirley jackson in one sitting overnight instead of sleeping and it had an interesting effect on my brane. thangkfully i thimk im still norgmal though
[image ID: a digital illustration of the character Eleanor Vance from The Haunting Of Hill House by Shirley Jackson, depicted as a pale skinned woman with wild, twisting brown hair colored red by the off-cast light of a bright scarlet sweater. She is depicted in two figures, both ascending a pitch-black iron spiral staircase. The foreground is cloaked by oak leaves and acorns, which dangle upwards as though upside down, and in the background there’s a faint impression of an upside-down tree. Both figures of Eleanor have their heads angled to stare straight at the viewer with almost inhumanly wide eyes- her mouth isn’t visible on either figure. The leftmost figure is near the top of the stairs, climbing with her back mostly turned, while the right hand figure is just peeking up from around the curve at the bottom. The right hand eleanor holds a brandy snifter with one pinky extended- the left hand eleanor holds a white teacup adorned on the inside with scarlet stars. the coloring is chaotic and sketchy, with lots of hatching and scribbled lines giving it an erratic feeling. With the way the foliage hangs upside down around eleanor, it almost gives the impression that she’s walking down along the underside of the staircase, descending rather than ascending. END ID]

They can't turn me out or shut me out or laugh at me or hide from me; I won't go, and Hill House belongs to ME.

lil comic practice with my favourite moment from The Haunting of Hill House, can't believe Shirley Jackson invented toxic yuri all the way back in 1958 <3
#the haunting of hill house#thohh#shirley jackson#comic#hhhhh traditional art messes with my perfectionist tendencies so badly but I do love it#case in point: literally just realised that the text describes Theo 'looking up' at Eleanor as she says this line#which imo is equally weird and homoerotic so the spirit of the line came through. but. ah well.#also I MADE IT TO THE END OF TERM! THE CROWD GOES WILD!!#there will probably be more art happening on this blog than there has been for the last couple of months#I make no promises but like also if I don't create stuff I will explode and die. badly <3#my art#✨️#eleanor x theodora#eleanor vance

eleanor vance wrapped
you got scared 8443 times
you held someone’s hand 329 times but never knew whose
you ran 5890 km through the halls barefooted
you crashed into 768 trees and not once did somebody try to stop you
you were lonely 5000000 hours
