She's got a new addiction for every day and night

Something about the bastardization of the story time and time again proves that nobody in power really cares about the people who would resonate with King’s Carrie White. A girl so ugly and repulsive she’s been removed from her own story. The societal need for women and girls to be constantly perceived as attractive is what fuels a fair amount of her torment in the book, but that person isn’t even allowed to exist on the screen. We cannot empathize with her; it isn’t allowed. It’s fascinating to me.

They don't pelt her with used pads, just (unused) tampons, and not because of her weight but because they're in the shower when it happens and Carrie has just had her first period. She freaks out because her religious mom never told her about that, and the bullies think it's hilarious she doesn't know what's happening to her. I've always taken the pig's blood to be a callback to the opening scene. They were bullying her for a number a reasons, not just for being overweight.

This is it. The internet has come full circle. You can all go home now. We’re done.

also please know that almost all of these are by Carl Barks, a duck comic writer and artist who was so good that even though disney didn’t credit ANY OF THEIR ARTISTS FOR A LONG TIME (yes. I know. god.) people picked up that there was this one dude who was sincerely rocking the format and became so legendary that this anonymous creator was known amongst readers as ‘the Good Duck Artist’ or ‘the Good Duck Man’
