i do think what gets ignored about carrie as a character is that she’s an incredibly easy target to bully; she’s a chubby, sheltered acne ridden teenage girl who wears frumpy grandma clothes and regurgitates the jesus freak shit her violently abusive mother tells her. she has violent thoughts about her classmates and is uncomfortable to be around. she’s far more interesting being a victim that’s somewhat uncomfortable to be in the head of than a tragic waif. she’s not a martyr, she’s a child and a child who’s been victimised her whole life shouldn’t have to be kind and angelic to be recognised as a victim. suffering teenage girls shouldn’t just be presented on screen as toned down glamorous thin ophelias, suffering teenage girls can be fat and poor and think violently. i do think we need to examine why culturally we need teenage girls to be beautiful and kind to valorise their suffering and treat it as bad

last night i said "i feel like most bi male furries with long hair are usually eggs" and mark thought i said i said "ick" instead of "egg". so he got mad at me and was like "well i had long hair when we first met 😠" and i just looked at him like 😏. which in retrospect is an extremely funny conversation on both sides

Every time I see that last pic, I have to note that the funniest line is the one immediately after the highlight
