I just finished the season finale of School Spirits and let me tell you the ending SHOOK ME! There BETTER be a season 2 or else I’m going to sue!!

[keep-your-eyes-wide-open]

For all of my #schoolspirits fans, Milo added a preview for the season finale on his Instagram story!!!

SCHOOL SPIRITS 1x07 SPOILERS:

-I know this isn’t the main topic I should be focusing on, but I like how they handled Simon’s love confession to Maddie (especially as a WallyxMaddie shipper).

-it seems clear (to me anyway) that Maddie doesn’t share the same feelings that Simon does and is trying to make sure that he moves on from her after he graduates. it’s obvious that she cares about Simon, but I truly don’t think she is in love with him.

-btw, when Wally told Rhonda and Charley that he could wait for Maddie I got all giggly!!

-there was this comment that I saw on a Tik Tok video a while back that said imagine Simon naming his first daughter Maddie and now I really need that to be cannon!

[keep-your-eyes-wide-open]

i have this wild theory about School Spirits (POSSIBLE SPOILERS):

-wally had a crush on maddie while she was alive, so he would follow her around while she was at school.

-the day that she was murdered he had been with her, so he knows how she died, (this would explain why he told her that it might be better not to remember what happened to her) but he doesn’t know who killed her (either it is someone who doesn’t attend/work at the school, so he wouldn’t know who they were, or he couldn’t see who the person was for some reason).

-I think that wally knows exactly what happened to maddie, but doesn’t want to say anything because he can’t answer who killed her. he clearly cares for her and since he doesn’t know who the murderer is he doesn’t want to upset her by telling her what happened.

-if for some wild reason this ends up being the case, I can’t imagine how awful it was for wally to watch the girl he likes get murdered and know that he physically couldn’t do anything to help. also, if this theory ends up being true there will be so much angst between maddie and wally.

Well 4 hours into the day anyways-

So that means there’s still a chance you could ask me out :D

[dandiliiontea-deactivated202105]

It’s INSANE to me how controversial romance novels are. Romance novels. Like, being openly a fan of them immediately opens you up to people constantly coming at you like “but don’t you think it’s ~limiting- and ~juvenile~ to have a genre of books with happy endings for women?”

Like.

No?

Why is it such a big deal to want to read stories where women have sex and then don’t die at the end? Jesus Christ.

Why is the concept of female characters being happy seen as less creative than female characters suffering? (Trust me, creating a world where women win in the end takes a lot more creativity and artistic vision lmfao)

Anyway, literary bros will pry my romance novels with their happy endings from my cold dead fingers.

[jennyredford]

Or die in the very beginning of the book. But no one calls out James Patterson for writing another formulaic thriller in which a woman is horrifically killed after getting laid and then some man solves her murder. Every. Damn. Time.

But hey, those romance novels where women get happy endings are so limiting, eh?

[dandiliiontea-deactivated202105]

Real talk: realizing how common it is for female characters to be punished for on-the-page sex with death was a big part of my embracing the romance genre. Once I noticed it I couldn’t unnotice it. It’s everywhere. A woman having sex in literature or non-romance genre fiction is the literary equivalent of a red shirt on Star Trek.

[roo-bastmoon]

It’s not just the sex thing, though that’s a key element. It’s that, in romance novels, the heroine gets to be cared for the way she normally would care for everyone else. It’s wish fulfillment in that her romantic partner will do emotional labor, spend a great deal of time thinking about her, or sacrifice his desires or fortune or reputation to be with her, or spend days nursing her back to health, or risking his life to save hers. In romance novels, you’ll find men taking care of children, talking about their feelings, putting effort into their appearance—even if they are adorably bad at it. Watch how many romance novel protagonists fall in love with a man who happens to be rich or handsome, but she didn’t give in until his behavior changed and he starts mentoring her, or providing for her, or being gentle toward her, nourishing her, listening to her, appreciating her… I suspect romance novels are looked down upon not for being juvenile formulaic “beach reads” but because they paint a fantasy world that leaves men feeling uncomfortable or even emasculated. But whether you’re a Midwest housewife or a big city CEO, women who read romance novels just want to read about men loving women the way women are expected love everyone else—with a nurturing and protective form of unswerving loyalty. Great sex they don’t have to die for is also a huge bonus, but the *romance* part of the novel is genuinely more about the woman being appreciated (for her beauty or spunk or intelligence at first, and then for all of her by the end).

THANK YOU.

[lyricwritesprose]

According to the website smartbitchestrashybooks, which analyzes romance novels to a great degree, one common element of the average romance novel is what they call the grovel.  That is, there’s a turning point near the climax of the book where the leading man says, in effect, “I hurt you.  I had my reasons, but they don’t make it right.  I am devastated that I hurt you, and I will do whatever it takes to make it okay again.  Leaving you is completely on the table even though I find the prospect horrific.”

And that’s a very important fantasy.  To have your feelings, your pain, be made so absolutely central to the narrative, to someone else’s world.  You could call it a power fantasy, but I don’t think that’s exactly right.  It’s a significance fantasy.  A romance story is a story in which the woman is the most significant damn thing in the book.

And when you think of it like that, you realize why some people are really, really threatened by it.

I love The Golden Girls.

[gholateg]

Ya’ll don’t have any idea how fucking brave and needed these plot lines were.

This was before Ellen came out.

This was before civil unions.

This was before Don’t Ask Don’t Tell.

This was when your ass could be fired, blacklisted, and shunned with no legal protections for even being hinted at being gay.

And the Golden Girls said “Fuck you, Fuck this, we’re doing it anyway.”

[silenthillmutual]

I think it should be noted that Blanche’s quote about AIDS is also “It is not god punishing people for their sins” and that the episode also deals with slutshaming.

[darkravn]

I don’t know if people realize how much activism these women did for gay right and during the aids crisis. If you think about it they were all long established in Hollywood and Broadway. They had tons of friends personally affected and dealing with the aids crisis. Estelle Getty lost a nephew. I think they helped plant seeds in people who watched Golden Girls that helped make things a little more normalized and mainstream.

[scififantasystuff]

I just want to clarify, because to those who don’t know the history, it could seem out of place: Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell was landmark legislation. The community fought hard for Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.

Maybe that can give you some small insight to how completely different the attitude was in the late 80′s, that being allowed to hide was considered a huge win. It truly was.

So the fact that this group of women, each powerhouses of media in their own respect, extremely recognizable and with everything to lose, stood together and said, “Hey. They are here. They are people. They deserve marital rights, friendship, and understanding.” was a Very. Bold. Move.
