I don't care if she commits atrocities, bro, she's justified by the narrative

Some people don’t get that when a story “race bends” a white character to a poc it can make their character arc richer because alot of people see race bending as just “woke snowflake liberal propaganda” or whatever and not a storyteller looking find a deeper, more nuanced meaning to an already established character.

Like in the Carrie musicals she was always played by a white girl and then in one small production a black girl was casted to play her and all of a sudden everything about her shifted. It wasn’t just about an awkward girl being bullied it was about an awkward black girl being bullied and targeted because she was black in a predominantly white school. It wasn’t just about a girl being fed up with being bullied and taking her anger out on her classmates, it was also about how black girls constantly have to hide their anger in a time of their life when they’re supposed to be emotional. Her relationship with her mom and being beaten and forced into Christianity literally like a slave. Everything is suddenly more deeper now and it made me like Carrie even more while also making me be a little more critical of the original.

So people asking “If show and book Louis are the same then why do you like show Louis more but hate book Louis” it’s because his character is deeper now that he’s black and because of that I can see the flaws in the way book Louis was written. Also because he’s a slave owner. 💀

Some fanart of Book Carrie.

As much as I love all three film adaptations in different ways, I still mourn for a closer adaptation to the novel (Points to 2002 though for trying and 2013 until studio interference)

GOD HAS SEEN YOUR SINNING.

YOU'RE RUNNING OUT OF PLACES TO HIDE FROM ME.

it's not a fashion statement, it's a fucking deathwish - my chemical romance // gerard way performing in sydney, aus (cr. jess gleeson, 3/19/23) // carrie (1976) // the destruction - carrie: the musical (1988)

And now, for some much more serious Carrie art. I’ve seen several other people relate stained glass to Carrie, so I decided to do my own take on it!

This is based on my local production of Carrie: The Musical, which got me hooked on it in the first place. that’s why she doesn’t REALLY look like any other Carrie. :)))

someone take the barbie poster edits away from me. anyway girlie was in the right she deserved some vengeance. as a treat <3

carrie: the musical - 1988

I think Carrie White would make an interesting build for a dnd character. Wild Magic Sorcerer with Acolyte background??? A tragic backstory??? MOMMY ISSUES???? She’s primed to have a dnd character based off of her.

Guess I forgot to post about this drawing of Nari lamb as Carrie and Tom from the Carrie musical/movie/book

Nine favorite musicals.

I don't feel bad for the students who died at prom bc it's not carrie's fault they couldn't roll with her autistic girl swag

I swear, the number of dead musical teen characters these days could populate their own high school

Absolute shame that the blood squirting pig animatronic got cut from the 1988 production of Carrie The Musical

Broadway audiences would have died on the spot

I am Carrie’s no.1 defender till I DIE. “Carrie shouldn’t have killed them!!! She’s not innocent!!!!” GOD FORBID women DEFEND THEMSELVES 🙄✋
