Shelby The Prom - Tumblr Posts

There are a lot of things about the Prom movie that I don’t like, but this is a subtle thing that just bothers me. This may be a controversial opinion, but I don’t like the decision to change Kevin’s race. I have nothing against the actor, but Kevin was white in the musical, and that to me is important when you consider his relationship with Shelby. Shelby is a poc in both the musical and the movie, and in the musical, she is dating a boy who is most certainly white. Musical Kevin and Shelby are a mixed race couple, something that you don’t see much of when it comes to being represented, and making Kevin a poc in the movie takes away from the importance of that representation. Again, a lot of people are gonna disagree, but Kevin and Shelby’s relationship in the musical just feels like a small piece of representation that gets discarded in the movie.

Shelby: Kevin and I have done it but I’ve never…you know…

Alyssa, a lesbian: you’re going to hell and you didn’t even finish??

A super hero au of sorts where Emma’s power is mild inconveniences.

Sounds stupid, right? “What does this mean?” I hear you asking.

Well:

The day after Emma discovers her power, Kaylee just so happens to make a particularly nasty comment when they cross paths in the hallway. For the rest of the day, Kaylee is constantly picking out an underwear wedgie that won’t go away.

Nick tries to trip her when she walks past him in English and later, when he’s walking in the cafeteria, his shoelaces come untied and he trips on them. Not enough to fall, but he does have to go back and buy a new chocolate milk.

Kevin knocks Emma’s books out of her hands and laughs at her, he ends up getting a paper cut in Chemistry that same day. It’s right on the knuckle, the perfect spot to make a bandaid practically pointless.

Shelby mocks her in the locker room, calls her out for staring even though she was facing the wall. During history, Shelby gets a random period cramp, it only lasts a couple seconds and isn’t connected to her period at all, but Shelby doesn’t carry tampons with her to school and is terrified for the rest of the day.

After a fight, Emma’s feeling particularly petty. So during cheer practice, Alyssa keeps digging pebbles out of her shoes that seemingly appear from nowhere.

Greg decides to wake Emma up early with a pillow to the face, and he can’t seem to put his shoes on the right feet for the entire day.

Teachers that turn a blind eye to the bullying find hairs in their food, misplace pens and markers so they’re just a few too short during class, the vending machine doesn’t drop their food when they try to snack while on break.

During the whole prom fiasco, Mrs. Greene is always late to meetings because she can never seem to find her keys when she needs them.

The day after the breakup, Alyssa is on edge the whole day, waiting to stub her toe on a desk or to realize she forgot an assignment at home the day it was due. But nothing happens. The day is as normal as any other, maybe a little less with the absence of Emma, but she leaves the building that day without incident.

It’s not until after they get back together, and Alyssa asks about it, that Emma explains.

“You were already going through a lot,” she said, “the break was hard on both of us, I wasn’t gonna make you suffer more.

“Plus,” she started smirking, “I figured dealing with your mom 24/7 was probably more that a minor inconvenience.”

Alyssa to Kaylee and Shelby: Yes, I am homophobic. 99% of the problems in my life have been caused by a gay person!

Alyssa to herself: I mean that gay person was my dumbass, but still-

Emma, blushing: That’s ridiculous, Alyssa doesn’t have a crush on me.

Greg: Yes she does.

Shelby: Yes she does.

Alyssa: Yes I do.
