Happy Halloween season! Here's another stab at my own take of Carrie White, based on her book description. I'm super happy with how these turned out! I'd love to tackle some of the other characters in the book eventually, especially Margaret!

EDIT:

Now available as an art print here!

One of the most frustrating things about film adaptations of Stephen King's Carrie is the repeated omission of one primary feature of her appearance: her weight. She is not thin; she has bad skin, greasy hair, and frumpy clothing. However, upon the night of her prom, she is able to transform herself into someone considered to be attractive: whilst still being fat.

By continually casting thin, beautiful women in the role of Carrie, the films 1) imply that fat women cannot believably have Cinderella moments without shedding any pounds and 2) remove one of the most crucial aspects of the story: audience introspection.

The films do not force us to recognise and challenge our biases. We do not see ourselves in the bullies, who are humans, for better or worse -- as represented best by Sue Snell and Chris Hargensen. We do not see ourselves as being capable of what these teenagers did to Carrie, because their insults seem comedic and far-fetched to us, parody beyond relatability: Sissy Spacek and Chloe Grace Moretz do not elicit any implicit revulsion in us. They are thin, and beautiful, and the bullies' motivations in harassing them are outlandish and superficial beyond empathy.

However, if Carrie were to be kept fat, the audience would finally be forced to look inward and to recognise the ugliness in themselves that is instilled by societal norms. Instinctually, society rejects fat, unattractive women. Carrie, were she to remain as she was in the book, would elicit the same reaction from general audiences as she does from her classmates at school.

No longer would people be able to distance themselves from their own disdain for women and girls like Carrie by sitting safely behind the absurdity that is an attractive female lead being ridiculed for their appearance. They too would exist as Miss Desjardin did in the novel: sympathetic, pitying, but ultimately put off by Carrie, solely because she does not fit the requirements of modern, aesthetic womanhood.

People would finally be forced to reconcile that with themselves. How much more resonant would Carrie's retribution be if audiences finally felt the full impact of its being directed at themselves just as much as it is directed toward the ill-fated prom attendees? How important of a discussion could it have inspired even back in the 70s?

Even still, Hollywood is too scared to fully sit audiences before a mirror. Even still, we are unable to accept the lessons a novel like Carrie offers without having its protagonist altered nearly beyond recognition. How long will it be before we are able to portray the tragedy of Carrie with all of its nuances intact? How long before we are able to feel the sting of injustice just as sharply when a protagonist is fat as we do when a pretty and thin protagonist is injured?

I'm still waiting for the Carrie modern audiences need to see.

Carrie doesn't scare me because it's scary, there's nothing really scary horror wise about Carrie, it scares me because of how real the situation is. Sure, real people don't have TK powers, but real people do have the same relgious trauma, and back then there wasn't really anything she could say about it. You have to really think about Carrie, because it was a time without cell phones or social media, and because of that Carrie didn't know if what her mother was telling her was true or not. You have to think, Carrie was a sheltered kid with no friends and an abusive mother and there was nothing she could do to escape that situation other than what she did do a prom, she found a way out. And I think the sad thing is everyone saw it coming, but no one did at the same time. In my opinion, Carrie White does not wrong, even if she did kill people. It was coming to them eventually.

Soft Interior

PAIRING: Carrie x Male Reader (Romantic) (Fluff)

SUMMARY: (Y/N) is as cruel as they come, yet he has a special spot for Carrie in his heart.

At first Carrie was scared of you. A guy who has no patience, an unstable temper, and a foul mouth. You got in to constant fights with other boys from your class, and every girl, popular or unpopular, had a strong “opinion” of you.

It took Carrie a long time to realize, but everyone else saw how much kinder you were to her; your favoritism was so blatantly obvious that Carrie’s obliviousness got her builled even more, which just led to you beating up more people.

Carrie falls for you once she notices what you do for her behind the scenes and when you’re with her. After you two started dating she’d make sure you didn’t get into as many fights, not liking your bruised up face. You’d respect her wishes until someone insults her. You’re a handful, but Carrie is happy to have such a protective and loving boyfriend.

- Fin

The top image is fanart I did of Book Carrie back in 2013 and it makes me really happy to not only see the growth in my artwork, but just that I've gotten to a point where I can better depict what I'm imagining. The bottom designs are what I wanted to draw in 2013 but just didn't have the art skills to accomplish yet haha!

Most of the time when I see Fluttershy drawn as a human, her clothes look like Carrie White's

If Carrie White was a Nitro...

More details under the cut!

-I wanted her main color to be a more muted pink, but a little lighter than the marker I used 😅 Initially, it was going to be red to match her prom dress in the book instead of the movies, but since Nuclear is already red, I decided to instead try to go for a darker pink for a nice in between.

-I believe Lattice Light City is also in Maine, which is where Carrie takes place, so it's not too far distance between them (We're ignoring the 100 year difference in events for this AU)

-Carrie's story mainly follows the book, but instead of dying in Sue's arms at the end, she gets medical help and is somehow calm enough to not kill everyone again

-Of course, the story is all over the news, so Redman goes to check it out and finds the terrified and incredibly powerful Carrietta White in the hospital. He convinces her that if she comes with him, not only can he keep her from prison, but he can help her control her powers and make things right

-(I have her age as 19 here bc I forgot she wouldn't need to be cooked like the others, since her powers are natural. Maybe this happens right after the Nitros go under and she just stays at the lab and learns?)

-Because of how her powers exploded at senior prom from all the pressure, her code name is Detonator.

-I imagine she's really close to Steven, as the two are quiet and overwhelmed sometimes by the noise the other Nitros can make

-Diego, of course, is a ball of sunshine that helps convince her to come out of her shell a little bit. He gives her the hope that things can be okay

-Megan and Carrie bond over being the only girls on the team, and of their powers being capable of causing a whole lot of damage

-I think she'd shy away from both Brunos at first, due to them being so bold and loud. But as she gets used to them, they start to get along

-Carrie's biggest hindrance is not knowing how to communicate at all, and overcoming the trauma of both her mother and what she did at prom

-She's the only Nitro who isn't directly connected to the Blades somehow, and the only one who is her own reason for her family's death (even though Margaret definitely deserved it, and Carrie stands by that)

-Being with the Nitros helps her learn what love actually is, and what it's like to have people there that care about her and aren't going to punish her just for existing

I might add more later on, but this is all I have for right now!!!
