The Heathers + Veronica go to Comic Con
Once a year the Heathers and Veronica go to their local Comic Con
'Local' is a stretch, its obviously not in Sherwood bc why would anyone in their right mind actually go there, so they drive to Columbus
They make a little trip out of it, none of them want to drive there, spend all day at the convention, and then drive all the way back
They take Duke's jeep bc its the only car that can hold all the crap they buy
Its around a 3 hour drive to Columbus, so they leave around noon the day before
Duke drives, her jeep is her baby and she will not let anyone else touch her under fear of death
Chandler rides shotgun, she gets carsick easily and being in the front helps with that
That leaves Veronica and Mac in the back
Chandler is a backseat driver, she is constantly criticizing Duke's driving, and if she goes even a single mph above the speed limit no one will hear the end of it
She's a massive hypocrite bc her driving is very reckless, but she insists that she knows what she is doing, unlike Duke and her 'monster truck lookin ass car'
Duke of course takes great offense to someone insulting her baby and they have a fight which lasts for five minutes at most before they get over it
Because of this Veronica and Mac bring noise cancelling headphones and nap the entire time
Chandler is also the person who makes them stop every five minutes bc she has to go the bathroom or she's hungry or whatever
By the time they get to the hotel Duke is about to kill Chandler while she's just thankful that the ride is over
They stay at some upscale hotel near the convention center
Once they settle in, they head to the pool with the attached hot tub
Chandler and Mac relax in the hot tub while Duke and Veronica take a dip in the pool
As revenge for being a pain in the ass during the car ride, Duke splashes the cold water onto Chandler and laughs while she flips out
They dry off and head back to the room, where they get to bed early
They have to wake up early to get their cosplays on
Duke and Veronica sleep together while Chandler and Mac take the other bed
Veronica set an alarm for like 3am
When it goes off she has to rush downstairs to get coffee (and tea for Mac) for her gfs so they won't be cranky
They quickly shower and get their cosplays ready
Some of the cosplays they've done include
Kessoku Band from Bocchi the Rock! (Mac was Nijika, Chandler was Kita, Veronica was Ryo, Duke was Bocchi)
Duke had to be Bocchi bc she was the only one who didn't have a character who matched with her color
The Gaang from Avatar The Last Airbender (Mac was Aang, Chandler was Katara, Veronica was Sokka, Duke was Toph)
The original animatronics from Five Nights at Freddy's (Mac was Chica, Chandler was Freddy, Veronica was Bonnie, Duke was Foxy)
Duke and Chandler fought over who got to be Foxy, Chandler said it should be her bc red is her color, but then Duke guilt tripped her and she gave in
Disney Princesses (Mac was Belle, Chandler was Aurora, Veronica was Cinderella, Duke was Mulan)
Originally they wanted to do The Wizard of Oz but then they saw Wicked and Mac really wanted to be Glinda so they went with that (Chandler was the Wizard, Veronica was Fiyero, Duke was Elphaba)
They then cross the street and head to the convention center
Once they get in they head to the Celebrity Area
The convention isn't exactly the biggest or most prestigious, but they still get a decent few celebrities
They brought a few things with them to get signed like funko pops or posters, and they'll spread out and meet who they want to
Veronica refuses to get anything signed by the anime VAs who are there bc she is a sub purist and refuses to watch dubbed
Once they finish up there they'll usually attend a few panels before heading to the Marketplace, which is where they spend most of their time
While they walk around people are constantly coming up to them asking to take pictures bc their cosplays are just that good
They also sometimes see Betty, Martha and JD there
Betty and Martha usually go as Wesley and Buttercup (who could've seen that coming) while JD does just the weirdest ones like Slenderman
They buy so much stuff, it's just crazy
They have to make so many trips back to the room to drop off their stuff so they're able to carry more
Chandler buys the least out of them bc she's the least nerdy, but she gets the occasional poster, figure, or the like, which is something they all get
Mac gets so many plushies
She is trying to collect a plush for every single pokemon, of which there are 1025, so she is constantly searching for the less popular ones and the ones only available in Japan
Duke and Veronica both are looking for collectibles, and they are both running ahead of the other to try and get a rare figure or funko before the other can see it
Duke is also a dice gremlin, and she can spend a good half hour looking through dice, trying to remember if she has this color or pattern already
One time Veronica bought a body pillow and Chandler was just so embarrassed that she refused to talk to Veronica for the rest of the day
Once they've scavenged the convention for all its goodies they'll return to the room and pass out as soon as they take off their cosplay
Once they wake up and have had their drinks they spend an hour trying to fit all their purchases into Duke's Jeep
It's like playing Tetris except they have to be extra careful bc if a box gets damaged then someone is gonna get mad

A Ninjago Heathers AU Idea
I adore Heathers with my whole soul(candy store, meant to be yours, dead girl walking and seventeen all ended up on my top songs of 2023 playlist for context), and I love ninjago with my whole soul(70k words of fics in my Google docs, so many hours spent reading and drawing for it, and multiple cosplays), so naturally I want to combine them. But I(probably)don’t have the patience for writing all that, so the skeleton of it is landing here
Cast:
Veronica: Lloyd
JD: Harumi(but like she’s the perfect JD change my mind)
H. Chandler: Kai
H. Duke: Cole
H. McNamara: Jay
Kurt and Ram: Nya and Skylor
Martha: Brad Tudabone
Ms Fleming: Dareth(it just…I don’t think I need to explain it)
Notes:
If you can’t tell, the whole thing is gender bent. tinylifeboat123 has a lovely gender bent Heathers au I used for inspiration/reference
And to clarify it’s still set in 1989
Okay but Kai definitely gives Heather Chandler. Like he would be popular, a mythic bitch, and sing lead in candy store
Similarly, I think Jay would make a great Heather MacNamera. Also, this would be a Gordon situation, as he is loaded because his dad’s an actor
Look, Llorumi isn’t a popular or generally liked ship(for good reason, I don’t ship them at all when it comes to canon), but idk to me they fit for Veronica and JD??? Like, especially Rumi being JD? She already blew up a building and murdered people in canon
Give me big fun at the Smith house please
Dead Girl Walking would play out differently specifically because I hc Lloyd as hella ace. It still ends in him and Rumi becoming official, but no sex
Blue would also play out differently since Nya is taken(yes by Jay) and Skylor just had her bf(?) die. They would try to convince him to do stuff with a girl(probably Akita but it doesn’t really matter), and when he refuses they spread a rumor that he said no because he’s gay. Cue Rumi using an uno reverse card in Our Love is God(idk maybe a mention about how they both are queer but the world doesn’t love them for who they are and people saying stuff like that are the problem?)
Dead Gay Son could go whatever way you want, but I would probably have it be about scruffshipping(Dareth/Ronin) because I hc Ronin as becoming Nya’s functional uncle post season 5
The dead trio would have a lot more dynamics with each other, considering there’s a pair of best friends, a couple(?), and a pair of siblings(something something Kai and Nya could have been the older siblings Lloyd never had something something)
I definitely could see Dareth leading shine a light. Seems like a very in-character thing for him to do.
Give me Jay having a breakdown over how he rides the bus because all his rides to school are dead. Give me Jay singing lifeboat. Give me Lloyd stopping Jay from doing that one thing in the bathroom. I need it. I NEED it.
The kindergarten boyfriend was Lloyd. He didn’t die, but he has so strongly left Brad behind that in his eyes he might as well have. This also makes the line “I’m so sorry” sooo much worse
Is 90% of this au just for the last 5 songs? Absolutely. They just fit the Llorumi dynamic. Like Lloyd realizes that she is crazy and her being stopped is far more than their relationship being saved. Does Lloyd wish they could have work out? Yes. Does he still try to save her until the very last second? Yes. Is there remorse from both parties? Yes. But in the end she's “beaten fair and square” and dies, and there isn’t a shoved in rushed redemption arc I’m looking at you Crystalized you butchered my girl.
Greenflower in beautiful(reprise)? Maybe a kiss???
