MEU DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU UNLEASHED. IM SO IN LOVE WITH HEATHERS

heathers is my current hyperfixation i love it so much the soundtrack is SO GOOD and although it does have dirty/extreme songs [Blue should just be cut from the track imo it could’ve been accomplished with just a scene and it makes me so uncomfortable but not in the good way]

i love the general story of heathers and it really speaks to me,, it’s the one thing i can think of that’s the best example of media being driven by the idea of suicide. but you know why? no one actually commits suicide. the “successful suicides” are MURDERS and the one suicide attempts FAILS both in the movie and the musical. it’s practically rubbed in your face that SUICIDE IS BAD AND SO IS MURDER.

veronica’s design along with the colours for the heathers are REALLY NICE and i love that even canonically veronica isn’t the prettiest girl [lookit me, i may have a perfect face but i’m chubby- it’s hinted that she may be as well]

hell there could even be SYMBOLISM of the three heathers. heather chandler is red because red is the closest colour to evil/hell/power. heather duke is green because green is ENVY and she shows that throughout the musical and movie that she is ENVIOUS of heather chandler. hell, her introduction scene is includes the line “paid for implants”. heather mcnamara is yellow because yellow is sunshine, is innocence, is joy, and that is what she SHOWS until that is DESTROYED by the death of chandler and the bullying from the whole school. she’s a cheerleader, HEAD cheerleader,  and that’s CHEER. that’s YELLOW.

jd’s character in the musical is SO MUCH MORE INTERESTING THAN THE MOVIE. i don’t stan for him because he is still fucked up and needed a lot of mental health, but in the musical i love the addition of him actually being in love with veronica. he’s distraught when he loses her, and he resolves to do the one thing that his dad taught him to do as coping: blow stuff up. he’s much more 3D to me than in the movie, in the movie he’s very flat but in a still entertaining flat.

heather m is very obviously a lesbian i mean she’s. she’s a sun lesbian and she’s probably in love with veronica and i love the idea that veronica dates heather m after she graduates and she goes to a closer college to spend time with her girlfriends heather m and martha

the whole musical is written very accurately to the movie itself, and they made a smart move making martha and betty finn one character, it fits much better than when i watch the movie and find myself not caring about matha as much as i do listening to her soundtrack and listening to “Kindergarten Boyfriend”. even now even though i’ve heard it dozens of times i still love it so much it brings me to tears. hell not to mention they don’t try to MODERNISE the musical either, even though it was made 22 years after the original. the references made, the music, the outfits, are ALL VERY 80S and that’s SO IMPORTANT. even if they missed out on the adorable outfits veronica wears throughout the movie, the costumes are on point, and VERY 80S.

the concept of heathers makes a very good au too as long as you don’t romanticise the relationship of jd and veronica. jd and veronica’s relationship is iffy to begin with and at the end of it it’s fucked up and abusive. 

at the end of the day, no one in that musical is perfect, either. besides the obvious flaws of JD, Chandler and Duke, every other character is imperfect in the most ugliest, realistic ways. Martha is still in love with a boy who loved her in KINDERGARTEN, veronica has her obvious issues with mistreating her friends because of popularity, McNamara stood at the sidelines while she watched her friends abusing and not stepping in, they’re all so ugly and raw after the intro song.
