Full offence, Carrie is the hero of Carrie. The villains got their comeuppance.

Ginger from Ginger Snaps

Jennifer from Jennifer's Body

That creepy doll Brahms or whatever

[abe_san]

the Brahms villain won't be the same ever again after the tiktok algorithm decided to spam the fan edit thirst videos of him

I don't even want to know!

oh man, I'm cringing at the images that produces.

bb girl Carrie truly deserved Prom Queen of 76 for what she did. She didn't deserve the ending she got; I wanted Carrie/Tommy endgame and I'm gonna cry forever about it that it didn't happen.

the scene with them dancing still makes me teary lmao

[kerosene_pill]

it makes me dizzy and all fuzzy inside at the same time lol And "I Never Dreamed Someone Like You Could Love Someone Like Me" is one of the most beautiful songs, I listen to it all the time, easily once a week lol

Lol a lot of Stephen King novels are more sad than scary (which is to say very sad bc they’re also very scary lol). I cried reading Pet Sematary, poor Gage 🥺

[kerosene_pill]

LOL funny you say that, let me direct you to my comment from round-up earlier today...

[soavantgarde]

LOL we’re kindred spirits 😌❤️

Have you ever read anything by Simone St James? I really liked The Broken Girls and The Sundown Motel. Not the same vibes as Stephen King but similar bc sad stories lol.

truly <33

and oooh no I havent actually but you already got me by saying they're sad. All my favorite fics are always the ones that fuck you up from how sad they are so if these can do that GIVE IT TO MEEEEE

Ginger also alternates between hero and villain and victim in that trilogy. But I do want her on the list just for slaying so hard lol.
