The Promise Ring & Kids In America

My thing about the J/L and E/D breakups is that I see both sides.

J: We're gonna be apart for nine months. Long distance relationships are hard. I don't want to put us through that.

L: So that's it? We're not even gonna try?

Jay is understandably scared of long distance and knows there’s a chance they won’t make it so instead he just takes the easy way out. But in the end, thanks to Kitty, he realizes that he won’t know what’ll happen unless they try. That if he just gave up, he’ll just end up wondering what could’ve been. And honestly, that’s a really shitty feeling.

Leia, on the other hand, thinks it’ll work if they just gave it a try. That being in love is enough. Her dialogue with Nate just proves that belief:

L: Well, thanks for telling me all this, Nate. It's nice to know there's another hopeless romantic out there.

N (chuckles): Yeah. I mean, what's more powerful than love? Maybe lightning. But that's it.

L: Right. If two people are meant to be, then they can survive anything.

Neither pov is wrong. Jay and Leia both have different views on their relationship and that’s fine. Leia’s reaction when finding out about Jay wanting to break up is valid. Like just a few minutes ago, they were all happy and then the news just springs out.

Similar to Jay, Donna knows there’s a chance that Eric may not be in her future. And her doubts are understandable, because they’re only teenagers. They don’t know what’ll happen in the end. There might be a chance that they might not be together in the end. And she sees having that belief as a possible stepping stone to failure.

Donna: I don't know…not always…I mean, it's not like there's anyone else, but, sometimes I'm…by myself. I mean, all I mean is, I don't know! Neither of us does! And this ring is just a stupid high school promise. If we're meant to be together, then…we'll end up together!

And like Leia, Eric believes they’ll be able to make it in the end. That if they stay together and work hard at their relationship, they will stay together.

Eric: No! The way we end up together is by saying we'll be together and then…being together!

Donna: Eric, come on! We're together now! Isn't that enough?

Eric: No! I mean….I mean, Damn, Donna! If you can see a future for yourself without me, and that doesn't, like, break your heart, then, I, we're not doing what I thought we were doing here. And you know what? Maybe we shouldn't be together at all.

Eric’s hurt is completely understandable. Someone who he sees as the love of his life is saying that there might be a chance that he might not be in her future. But what he’s wrong about is that it won’t break Donna’s heart. To me, it seems like the thought of Eric not being there does break her heart. But at the same time, Donna knows there’s a chance they won’t be together forever. That if she only had that belief and things didn’t work, she’d be crushed. So she was just trying to prepare for all the outcomes.

Basically both these breakup scenes are nuanced and complex and to take Leia & Eric’s side over Donna & Jay’s or vice versa is a disservice and completely diminishing everyone’s experience.

[iamespecter]

Please forgive me for my sins and crimes against humanity for I cannot stop imagining the Jester and the Dentures making out sloppily in my Puppet AU (+bonus harlequilt/showtime in the cut!)

I also see the ragdoll in the mix half of the time because they share her equally (Healthy poly relationships, YIPPIEEEEE!)

[screams-of-the-damned84]

(flops on stage) i now present to you my very silly swap au,,,

essentially jasper is now the co-leader of the society who was bitten by a werewolf and is trying to hide it, jekyll is the uni student who got kicked out due to his experiments and then picked up off the streets, etc. jasper and rachel can’t communicate and jekyll and lanyon are living the world’s weirdest horror romcom you’ve ever seen. more info under cut hehe (feat. bad explanations and doodles)

in simpler terms, jekyll and lanyon swap narrative positions (?? is that the right term) with jasper and rachel respectively. (lanyons and rachels swap doesn’t technically work as well as Jekyll’s and jaspers does but shhhhh). Frankenstein becomes the mad scientist that attacks the society and moreau becomes jaspers idol.

longer explanation but WARNING!! it is 3am when i am typing this and i am terrible at explaining. it may be slightly incomprehensible.

so like jasper and rachel founded the society after jasper publishes his research and gets semi famous. two years before current events jasper is out on a research venture and gets bitten by a werewolf. he doesn’t want to scare rachel or the lodgers so he keeps it a secret (to his own detriment). flash forward to now and jasper gets a call to investigate a “creature” terrorizing the streets of london only to find hyde.

before jasper can process the dumpster man he is looking at hyde transforms back into jekyll. jekyll explains that while trying to prove his theory of spiritual alchemy at his university he may or may not have split his own soul. and got kicked out. and is now living on the streets.

jasper, not really knowing what else to do and kinda relating to the poor guy, takes him back to the society. he introduces his co-leader rachel, who pretty much keeps this entire thing up and running. (rachel and jekyll still become friends but she especially takes to hyde. that little brother shaped hole in her heart is still very much present!) then theres the lodgers (idk how they all swap) and then there’s lanyon, a university student at the society because it was mandatory for one of his courses. he is not enjoying it and would very much rather be breaking boy’s hearts back at school. lucky for him tho, there’s jekyll!

this goes about as well as you would expect. lanyon then spends the rest of his stay at the society trying to understand (and woo) the conundrum that is jekyll and hyde. it’s very fluffy and they learn to communicate like jasper and rachel in canon (yippee!)

unfortunately for jasper and rachel, they have been playing the “just friends” game for the last decade. im having a bit of trouble trying to flesh out swap rachel so i don’t really know if she’s in a lavender marriage like canon lanyon is or is estranged/divorced or just single but whatever the case is she likes jasper but thinks he just sees her as a friend while jasper is madly in love with her and is too scared to tell her. this problem has only worsened since jasper got bitten. everyone else tho is aware of how they feel about each other and are stuck witnessing their tortuously long slow burn.

(hyde and lanyon at some point probably come up with a scheme to try and get them to confess. it goes horribly wrong.)

so yeah. this au has been floating around in my head ever since i read the comic for the first time. it mainly came to be because of how well jasper and jekyll parallel each other and because i wanted to draw stupid fluff and older jasper lol.

if anyone has any ideas/questions/etc TELL ME!!!!! this is just a rough idea if you have a better concept go for it awhdvgevd
