Stewart Edward White (recorder and recommender) - The Betty Book: Excursions Into The World Of Other-Consciousness - Berkley -  1973

Carrie is fat in the book. Learning that completely blew me.

The use of pigs blood makes so much more sense. The reason she was bullied so relentlesly, even though she does nothing to nobody, makes so much more sense. The relationship with her mother makes so much more sense.

I know they aren't going to, but I wish they would cast someone fat in this new Carrie adaptation. From the articles I've seen, they are already speculating which skinny actress it's going to be.

How many times can they tell the story the same exact way? The answer: endlessly.

I don't know what's worse the total erasure of fat people in movies or the only story we get to see ourselves in are the love yourself fatty movies.

And for both we find out just to what degree, only in the post-show material lmao

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!

Simon Petrikov and Stanford Pines Comparison

(nerdy/proper/awkward) studiers of the occult

unwittingly led themselves to being separated from reality by their own research

have interdimensional entities of chaos as exes (geometric/strange # of eyes)

earned their doctorates and used their grant money to fund their research, then wrote books about their discoveries

Fiddleford McGucket is a close match too: like Simon, his repeated usage of a magical item on his head led to him losing his mind/memory and turning into a white-bearded “local kook”, his descent into madness documented in his long-lost video diaries

Betty Grof and Fiddleford McGucket Comparison

both geniuses in their own right, but sacrifice their own professional ambitions in order to support another genius who they’ve grown close to and admire. both relationships have an unbalanced power dynamic: Betty and Fiddleford idolize their partners whom are oblivious to it and don’t reciprocate the same level of dedication. Betty and Fiddleford become victims to the effects of Simon and Ford’s obsessions, and while the latter do too, the former do not recover in the end like they do

Betty #8 Facsimile Edition (2024)

[dommnics]

Here is a follow up to my previous book!Carrie designs. I tried to stick closely with the book descriptions, especially for Margaret, but some of the characters were left to my imagination. I was heavily influenced by the 2002 adaptation of Sue, as she's by far my favourite interpretation of that character.
