people love to take "it's spring, you're young, you're lovely, you have a right to be happy. come back into the world" out of context and turn it into something beautiful, but constance doesn't want to come back and helen doesn't actually care about her or merricat, not really. what if the world isn't worth it? what if we can find a home outside of it, within a story that doesn't have a happy ending in anyone's eyes but our own? maybe it's spring, and we're young, and we're lovely, and we do have a right to be happy, and the world has always rejected us so we reject it right back. maybe that is how we triumph and it's not inspirational to the mrs. clarke's of the world, because it's a rebellion against their conformism and hypocrisy, but that doesn't make it tragic. it makes it ours

one of my pet peeves with the way Shirley Jackson’s work is perceived in pop culture is when people is when people suggest Hill House or We Have Always Lived in the Castle as spooky season/fall/Halloween reads when they are so clearly a summer book and a spring book, respectively. does Eleanor saying “Time is beginning this morning in June” and Merricat saying “The sun was shining and the false glorious promises of spring were everywhere” mean nothing to you people??

"I am going to unalive them," says Merricat. "I am going to put unaliveness in all their food and watch them become unalive."
