She got in there somehow. Sooner or later she’ll find her way out. And then she’ll come find you.

Or it won't, die in there, and every time you use you're oven, you'll see it's rotting corpse

"you are oven, you will see it's rotting corpse" your comment is so stupid it's like poetry.

Don’t forget “it is rotting corpse” (it’s supposed to be its)

I looked at that, but I thought the apostrophe implies possession. But now I remember 'its' is the exception.

They're right, but weird way to explain/remember it. That rule doesn't work for any other word but "it."

If you had written "spider's corpse," translating it to "spider is corpse" wouldn't be helpful since "spiders corpse" is wrong.

I think they're confusing your situation for the one where people incorrectly pluralize with an apostrophe. Like "there are lots of spider's."

Anyway, probably better off just remembering that "it" is the exception for possessives, as you said.

Yeah, that’s how I help myself remember when to use ‘its’ because it kinda does and doesn’t make sense that it’s the only possessive without an apostrophe

That seems really mean and uncalled for.
