Question: What do u think of the edits of you?😭

Good. I actually enjoy them. I think the ones that specifically have Nirvana or My Chemical Romance songs.

I moved recently to start a new job and part of my commute now involves one of those high capacity toll booths where a two lane road suddenly flares out into 5-7 lanes of total anarchy with no lines anywhere, and then narrows back down to two lanes again, and we're just supposed to sort ourselves out? Who designed this

anyway I dreamed up this helpful anatomical guide on the drive home

Watching supernatural for the first time in the year 2024

I finally rewatched The Turning

My thoughts, in summary, are:

Let Kate finish talking about her past. Stop interrupting her, you guys. I need to know what happened to her parents!

The creepy clawed hands stroking Flora's head on the movie's poster was Ms. Jessel's, weren't they? Was she protecting her? Was it Ms. Jessel who opened the gates in the end?

An ambiguous ending worked for The Turn of the Screw because it was a story full of ambiguity. The plot of The Turning is actually quite straightforward, and the ending was a disservice to all the buildup.

There really were ghosts in the mansion, but Kate was also being an unreliable narrator with her paranoia of Miles.

I think Kate was trapped in a cursed nightmare at the end, so the last few scenes were all her worst fears, i.e. the kids seeing her for the "broken" woman she was, becoming exactly like her mother, and so on.

Kate's nightmare in the end is actually Mrs. Grose's spirit haunting her so she cannot "terrorize" the kids.

I plan to write a crossover fic between The Turning, Ghostbusters: Afterlife, and Stranger Things, in which several multidimensional gates open across space and time, allowing the Fairchilds to call for the Ghostbusters help. The Party join in because they want to seal the gates properly without trapping anyone in the wrong world and time. It's my way of writing Kate, Miles, and Flora a happy ending.

if i may ask, do we as a fandom have a collective/common term for each of The Turning’s endings or do I have to just vaguely describe which one i’m talking about every time

Respectfully: yes, of course being sex-positive is incredibly important, but you know what's equally important? Being sex-positive without being fucking aphobic. It's not a herculean task at all; I see aspec and allo people alike who are absolutely able to do both successfully. But it does require a bare minimum amount of critical thinking.

You can defend kink at pride without saying or implying that sex is what makes us human, or that sex is a requisite for the "true" queer experience. You can talk about the indescribable value of gay bars without accusing anyone who isn't interested in them of being either a prude, creepy and antisocial, or a "boring virgin." You can stop arguing that any given queer person or group of queer people you dislike (perhaps even within reason) would be more progressive and less reactionary if they had more sex (and yes, this is a real take I've had to see on this website).

You can, and urgently, should stop pretending that sex negativity as a cultural force is caused by ace people — instead of you know, caused by cultural conservativism and cultural Christianity. And on the flip side, you can stop with that thing where you act sex-positive until you see an aroallo person wanting to have sex without a romantic (closed, nuclear) relationship — and suddenly, throwing all sex positivity out the window as you decide that they're a freak and a manipulator and evil incarnate. (Yes, you need to be kinder to even the cisgender heterosexual aromantic men. That particular discourse encapsulates the feedback loop between arophobia and radfem-lite beliefs, by the way, which is another thing the queer community here is horrible at avoiding in its rhetoric.)

So: sex positivity includes aro-spec allosexuals, who need it for precisely the above reason — because alloromantics demonize them otherwise. And sex positivity includes ace-specs who need it just to talk about their experiences, without getting called inappropriate for merely acknowledging sex out loud, let alone their own relationship with sexual desire.

(Have you already forgotten one of the biggest aphobe talking points in 2016? That aces acknowledging their identity in any capacity were "oversharing," and making people "uncomfortable" — and god forbid you ever mentioned asexuality to a minor?)

At its core, sex positivity includes accepting people can have morally neutral relationships with sex that you wouldn't personally want — and maybe even ones that might make you uncomfortable. And so much of this website seems perfectly able to understand this — or at least, preach this — until the second an ace or aro person shows up.

You're not allowed to exclude us from this movement. You're not allowed to twist this movement's intent to put us down. Kill this new wave aphobia in 2023 or so help me. We're not letting this community do this again.
