#Ig I can't expect too much from 1985 but...it was in the book! It was one of the most important parts! They don't even live together in it!

I'm going to lose my fucking mind
#For context: I was going to make a post complaining about how lesbians don't have enough good musical theater duets
#(like we have the love songs from 'The Color Purple' which're alright but doesn't match the passion or desperation present in the book imo
#'Changing My Major' which is a great love song but doesn't hit that sweet duet spot
#'Dance With You' and the last verse of 'You Happened' from The Prom are sweet but the girls barely get to actually sing about each other
#Honestly 'Oh Well' from Love In Hate Nation comes closest to what I want but it ends on a bittersweet note unless you see the show live
#If only Elphaba and Glinda were canon...
#But anyway. I can't believe that there's an adaptation of The Color Purple coming in the year of our lord 2023 and this is
#how they're talking about Shug Avery. Her *role model*. Lock up your *husbands*. Ick. Pfaff.
#I mean they're going to be gay. You can't get around that. But Shug is the love of her life. Can we please talk about that in the character
#Don't mind me I'm just over here overreacting
#From what I've read one of the biggest adaptational changes in the musical is her reaction to Shug's affair.
#Like in the book Shug is the one light in her life. I sobbed myself to sleep over her nosedive in self-worth when they took a break
#In the musical she's just...fine with it? I get why that's more satisfying emotionally but I still think it undermines their relationship
#I don't get the curse thing either. I'm a little fuzzier on this part but in the book doesn't she just leave him and she's able to thrive?
#Then when he asks her to get back together she's able to just know that the worst with Shug or alone is better than the best with him?
#This book man. I hate that there isn't an adaptation as devoted to the Celie/Shug relationship as the book is.
#Hate that the only recommendation I've seen calling it a sapphic book was from someone who thought that Celie's letters were to her lover
#I remember watching this steamy adaptation of a Shakespeare play in soph Eng and seething because they only kiss once in the 1985 movie
#Ig I can't expect too much from 1985 but...it was in the book! It was one of the most important parts! They don't even live together in it!
#This was all to say I wast a lesbian 'Green Green Dress' a lesbian 'Home' a lesbian 'Natasha & Anatole' a lesbian Legally Blonde finale
#The list goes on
#I'm sure The Color Purple (2023) will be a good adaptation and movie. I will not pop blood vessels while watching it.
#Maybe I should just avoid press releases and the movie will surprise me in a good way.
