every time I remember that the most popular version of the haunting of hill house is the version that makes theo and eleanor sisters I'm just like
#considering the entire point of the book was that eleanor was trying to force these people into a quasi-sexual found family#that they had no intention of joining#and her realizing that she would never be able to recreate the sexual/familial connections she'd lost out on as an adolescent#or ever fully explore her repressed queerness with theo#was the thing that drove her mad in the end#making them all family members is... missing the point to a truly impressive extent...
