"I don't think I've ever been this scared" I whispered

"Scared? Newt are you okay?" Y/n asks sounding genuinely worried

"Ohh uhhh I uhh Excuse me" I told her leaning the other way "I don't think I've ever been this scared and I just told y/n that"

"Then be brave" Thomas chuckled pushing me away so I was faced with y/n

"Are you okay?"

"Uhhh just nervous"

"awww me too"

"Okay, now the weak have left, I will tell you now my most hated thing in all theatre is callbacks and cast lists so when you audition I will give it to you or get you go ensemble, no waiting just straight acceptance or rejections. So Is there anyone brave enough to audition for Veronica?" Mrs Mary asked

Not a soul moved I looked and could tell y/n wanted to but she was too nervous and scared, she glanced at me and I used all of my bravery to give her a warm encouraging smile and she stood

"I would Mrs Mary"

"Y/n Y/l/n? Anyone else?" she offered but nope no one moved "Alright get up here" she said heading down to her desk "Do you know the soundtrack?"

"Yes Mrs Mary"

"Alright give me 'fight for me', from the top." She demanded setting up the music

It was obvious she was nervously holding her hands tightly in front of her waiting for her Cue, we briefly made eye contact and I did my best to give her a smile

"Why when you see boys fight, Does it look so horrible, Yet... feel so right? I shouldn't watch this crap, That's not who I am, But with this kid... Damn. Hey, mister no-name kid, So who might you be? And could you fight for me, And hey, could you face the crowd, Could you be seen with me and still act proud, Hey, could you hold my hand..."

Her voice was angelic, almost too good for the song, even her fellow cheerleaders seemed shocked and surprised by her performance I did my best not to let my jaw drop as she often glanced at me as she sang, she sounded so perfect I actually got teary

"That's enough Miss Y/l/n" Mrs. Mary said shutting off the music "Congratulations, You are Our Veronica Sawyer" She said offering her the script from the pile on her desk

"she did it!" I whispered shaking Thomas's arm

"Now you have to kill it as her JD" He said

"Ohh no. I can't be beside that. That. that was actually good, it'll bring the whole production down if she has to sing with... me."

Y/n grabbed her script and ran down getting hugs and congratulations from the cheer team she came over sat in her seat and gave me a big hug

"Uhhhhh...." I stuttered a little in shock but I was not wasting this I melted into her wrapping my arms around her sweet body and inhaling her sugary cherry scent "You did amazing, I knew you would"

"Thank you, I need to get learning" she smiled already opening her script

"Okay, so we have our Veronica. let's find her Jason Dean. If you wish to audition for JD Please stand up" She said

I knew I couldn't wait, I couldn't be a little bitch about it, even if I did think she deserved a better JD than me but I stood noticing I wasn't the only one as Aris had stood to him immediately giving me a dirty look as had Ben. Ohh fuck. I'm gonna die.

I nervously looked at y/n and she was surprised as she glanced at ben and aris before she turned and noticed I too was stood our eyes met and her cheeks went a little red I couldn't help blushing too

"Alright all three of you on stage" she demanded so we all headed up standing in a line with ben aris then me

"Mr Smith you do understand this will run into your track team time"

"I know, But you know art and shit," Ben said winking at y/n

"I take it you all know your script?"

"Yes Mrs Mary" Aris and I nodded

"Uhhh no can I just take a look?" Ben said

"You didn't prepare a song to audition with?"

"No, this was a kinda spur of the moment thing"

"use your phone" she glared "I want to Freeze your brain. You can start Mr. Smith"

"Okay" He nods getting his phone and literally googling

'heathers musical Freeze Your Brain lyric'

as the music began

"I've been through ten high schools, They start to get blurry, No point planting roots, Cause you're gone in a hurry" he sang

Ohh my god- I think my ears are bleeding, he wasn't in tune in fact so far out of tune if he had a map tune wouldn't even be on the map, like it tune is London bitch is in Tokyo not helped by his terrible attempt at on the spot choreography and karate actions so much so-

"Stop! Stop! Mr smith. if you are not going to take this seriously then please stop wasting our time."

"I wanna be Jd Mrs Mary"

"Sit down Mr. Smith. If you wish to audition I'd recommend a non-singing role" she warns

he left in a huff giving me a glare as he did

"Mr Hall if you would, from the last line," She asked

"My dad keeps two suitcases packed in the den, So it's only a matter of when I don't learn the names, Don't bother with faces, All I can trust is this concrete oasis Seems every time I'm about to despair-" He sang it made me feel even worse, he was good, really good, I mean it makes sense he was danny in grease and has been almost every male role in Le Mis, he was so good, and honestly he's the JD y/n deserves, they would sound great together and you know not to make the production a laughing stock,

she stopped the music again "Lovely very lovely, now let's hear Mr. Newton continuing on if you wouldn't mind" she says

I was beyond scared my feet were like needles, my legs jelly, my voice caught behind my throat, and butterflies in my tummy, as the music began and I missed the cue

"Some time today Mr Newton," she says restarting it

I honestly thought I was gonna hurl but I saw y/n her script on my chair looking eagerly as she smiled at me much like I did for her, and I just thought -

fuck it! I imagined my bedroom, when I'm home alone, like I'm in my underpants with my hair brushed singing to a screenshot of y/n's Instagram

"There's a 7-Eleven right there, Each store is the same, From Las Vegas to Boston, Linoleum aisles that I love To get lost in, I pray at my altar of slush, Yeah I live for that sweet frozen rush!"

I was... not that bad.

I was better than Ben but worse than Aris, I'm not as bad as I thought I was, I had performance energy, and passion as it were, and honestly, my bedroom must have some bad acoustics because on a stage I don't sound nearly as bad as I thought I did. Maybe its the tall roof, or the anxiety, or maybe it's y/n believing in me.

"Okay... that's definitely a tale of two JD's" she says checking her notes

"No hard feelings Newton, you weren't half bad" Aris whispered "But we both know there are perks to being a drama rat, and you might have the gusto for one good verse but I have the stamina for this show. besides you couldn't handle Seventeen you need training"

Aris Hall, Theatre kid. Master of the stage. Kinda an artsy dickhole. He's been the lead in every production ever run and proudly so. Theatre is the only club he does, the only part of his personality that anyone has ever known. He took the word theatre brat as a compliment and annoyingly he had the skills to back himself up. He even took drama and theatre theory as electives.

"I might not be as good as you but I would work every living moment for this show if I needed to, that kinda of passion can't be taught"

"It's called a hard on it goes down after a week Isaac"

"I have made my decision" she said and the room sat on edge he's right, he's a theatre kid. he knows what he's doing y/n deserves to be beside him on stage, well at least I tried, maybe y/n will take pitty on me or just be impressed I tried

"Congratulations, You're our Jason dean Mr Newton," she said

HOLY SHIT!

don't faint, don't faint!

"what!" Aris yelled "Mrs mary I have been in all the preoductions since I've been here"

"Exactly you've had your turn in the spot light, I did say you wouldn't get president for being a drama club kid" she explained "Mr Newton? will you take the role?"

"Ohh uhh yes, Yes Thank you mrs Mary" I smiled happily taking the script

I climbed down and Thomas gave me a thumbs up I quickly came to my seat and she gave me another big hug so I happily smiled and hugged her close savouring every moment of our cuddle

"EEEEEEEE! We're gonna be acting together! I'm so excited!"

"Yeah me too, it's gonna be really fun, guess we're gonna be spending a lot more time together"

"I think so" she giggled "I'm excited though,"

"Yeah me too, about the show and getting to uhh spend time with you"

"Aww me too newt" she smiled

"Right, now who what's to be a heather?" Mrs. Mary began "Let's start with Heather Chandler, Stand up"

And two people stood up Teresa and Alexandra

"Alright up you go" She told them and the two girls headed up

Obviously Teresa already kind of looked the part in her short skirt and socks and then Alexandra

Alexandra Bolton, the top of the bottom row of cheerleaders in the hierarchy above y/n but well below Teresa, was a theatre rat or as much as a cheerleader could be given the track meets and other such stuff the cheer girls too but even so it was a well-known thing Alexandra was on thin ice for taking theatre more serious then cheerleading. But she was a pretty good actress if a little bit of a diva.

"Alright, Miss Bolton give me candy store from the chorus" She says

"Honey, whatchu waitin' for? Welcome to my candy store It's time for you to prove You're not a loser anymore Then step into my candy store" She sang

"She's good," Y/n whispered

"I know, she'd be a good Heather"

"I think so too"

"Be on my girlfriend's side. Or else" Thomas leant over

"Seems fair" Y/n nods

"Yep, Teresa for Heather."

"Miss Agnes Chours again please" Mrs. Mary told her

"Honey, whatchu waitin' for?, Welcome to my candy store, It's time for you to prove, You're not a loser anymore, Then step into my candy store!"

"Hu," I said

"My girlfriend is not as good as I thought she'd be" Thomas sighed

"I mean I didn't want to say it... but kinda" I told him

"Interesting, you're both fairly good."

"Please Mrs. Mary I did ever so good as Fontaine" Alexandra pleaded

"You did, however, we are looking for some new casting,"

"My dad will buy half the seats just to see me so he doesn't have to sit next to people" Teresa said

"Teresa, You're out Heather Chandler," She says handing over the script

"Thank you" she smirked taking the script

"Well done babe" Thomas smiled giving her a kiss

"I look forward to killing you Teresa" Y/n smiled

"Thanks" she sighed

"Next Auditions for Heather Mcnamara,"

Alexandra stayed on the stage and Harriet went up and joined her

"Okay, Lifeboat if you ladies don't mind."

Alexandra Began of course "I float in a boat In a raging black ocean Low in the water And nowhere to go The tiniest lifeboat With people I know"

"Very nice,"

"She would be good again," Y/n smiled

"she would" I nodded

"She's not being my Heather Macnamara" Teresa glared

"Miss Toll if you would continue"

"Cold, clammy, and crowded The people smell desperate We'll sink any minute So someone must go The tiniest lifeboat With people I know" Harriet sang it was pretty good, I'd struggle to choose between them I didn't even know Harriet could sing

"What do you think?" Y/n whispered

"I'm kinda going for Harriet."

"I would but I'm scared of Teresa"

"That's fair she seems scary"

and we started giggling

"Miss Toll, You shall be our Heather Macnamara" she says handing over the script

"Mrs Mary" Alexandra complained

"Miss Bolton, you can audition or you can sit down"

"Fine" she pouts

"Alright auditions for Heather Duke"

Alexandra stayed on the stage and was surprisingly joined by Brenda

"Miss Young, this is not going to turn into another of your protest moments"

"I know, The guidance counsellor says I have to have something positive on my record or he won't let me graduate"

"Alright, Never shut up again Miss young if you can start"

"Heather choked, Bought the farm, She could not hack it, Now we need a strong arm, To run this racket, Heather's out, Who will rise? Gotta fill that vacuum, It's my turn, It's my prize, I spit lightning, Crack, boom!" Huu she's decent

"Miss Bolton continues"

"I bit my tongue so long, I learned to count to ten, My silence made me strong, I did my time and then, A house dropped on her head, The witch is dead! Ding dong!, Move bitch, this my song!, I will never shut up again, I will never shut up again, a Brand new day watching dreams come true, Well for me, not you Cause I'll never shut up again!"

and of course, once again Alexandra was really good,

"Heather Duke goes to Miss Young," she says handing over the script

"Ughhh!" Alexandra left sitting with Aris as the two pouted

This went on for a good while slowly casting the musical I had kind of given up now and got stuck into my script, and it kind of dawned on me as I looked at the script highlighted with all the JD lines. And it's uhhh it's just how much I have to learn in this script I mean I know the songs I'm not worried about that but I have so many lines. Until finally we cast the musical :

Y/n y/l/n as Veronica

Me as Jason Dean

Teresa Anges as Heather Chandler

Harriet Toll as Heather Mcnamara

Brenda Young as Heather Duke

Ben Smith as Ram Sweeney

Minho Lee As Kurt Kelly

Alexandra Bolton As Martha Dunnstoke

Rachel Mason as Ms Fleming and others

Aris Hall As Ram's Dad & Others

Thomas Stephenson As Kurt's dad & Others

and Everyone else in the ensemble with various names like punk kid, new wave girl and so on.

Honesrtly I think the best casting was Zart as stoner boy. He's gonna be doing some method acting I can tell.

I finished up with classes today and started on the way home as we didn't have rehearsals tonight to give everyone time to learn at least the first few scenes in the script luckily I don't really come in till just before fight with me. but still, I had a lot to learn. Am I regretting this? already? but... she's worth it.

"Hi Newt" Y/n smiled as she came from her class coming over with me to hide under the cover from the rain, her script in hand

"Ohh Hi y/n" I smiled

"You okay?"

"Yeah, just uhhh nothing- eager to get home that's all y/n"

"Yeah me too,"

"Did you need a walk home?"

"No it's okay my dad's picking me up he'll be here in a minute"

"Ohh no worries"

"I could ask if he could give you a lift? We could run lines in the car"

"No no, it's ok I don't want to be a bother"

"Well if you're sure newt,"

"So uhh you got any plans this weekend?"

"No, just learning my script and of course, Sunday is the gym with the girls"

"You girls go to the gym together?"

"Humm on Sundays practice floor routine and keep in shape and all, what about you?'

"Ohh I have work this weekend, just Saturday though I'm open Sundays mostly for homework and I guess learning the script now"

"Yeah," she smiled and a car pulled in honking its horn "ohh that's me, what time do you work on Saturdays?'

"Oh nine to five"

"cool, well have a nice weekend newt" she's smiled

"You Have a nice weekend too,"

"Maybe I'll pop by for a slushie tomorrow" She smiled giving my cheek a little cherry-scented kiss and I almost collapsed or came or I don't even know anymore

"Ubhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh-" was all that came to my mouth

"Sorry, I just figured we better get used to it. Right JD?"

"Uuhhhhhh yeah, uhh your right Veronica"

"See you" she smiled blowing me a kiss as she scampered from the door towards the car waving as she went I waved back to her and watched her climb into the car and drive away

"YES!"

I headed home through the stormy grey rain unable to stop smiling for a moment, blush had consumed my cheeks, my heart still racing, hugging my script in hand.

When I arrived home, I smiled widely and saw my mum, dad and soyna at the kitchen table.

"What are you so smiley about?" My mother laughed

"I. Am. Jason Dean!"

"Hu?" Sonya asks

"You changing your name?" My dad asks

"Awww I like your name, Isaac, We picked it out" My mother sighed

"I-I'm not changing my name" I told them

"You're trying a new personality? I'd recommend it. this one is shit" Sonya says

"Sonya! don't be mean to your brother!" Mum warned

"I got cast," I told them

"They didn't beat you up again did they!" Dad yelled

"No, I got cast not A cast" I sighed "Look let's just start again, I have been cast as Jason Dean. in Heathers"

"What's a heather?" mum asked

"Heathers the Musical the winter production at school"

"The winter production!" Mum smiled

"Ohh I didn't think you did drama club?" Dad asked

"I don't, But they needed more boys plus I love heathers"

"You nerd" Sonya snapped

"Ohh, needed more boys" Dad laughed winking at me "I get it"

"So who is this Jason Dean? in the production? is he in many scenes?" Mum smiled

"I uhh I'm in all of them. I'm the leading male role"

"Ohhh my goodness!" Mum smiled

"How the hell did you do that?" Sonya laughs

"Ohh and who's your leading lady?" Dad asks

"Y/n" I blushed

"Oh I get it" Sonya sighed

"That's great Isaac!" Mum smiled

"Good job Kiddo"

I woke up a little earlier than usual, fresh from my dreams of performing beside y/n, of cuddling her and kissing her and however we're going to stage dead girl walking ummmmm I'm so excited. I jumped out of bed and went for a shower, putting the soundtrack on to listen to as I brushed my teeth, stripping off and climbing into the shower making sure to give myself a good scrub as I was going to work today.

"Shut your eyes tight till you vanish from sight, let nothing remain! Freeze your brain!" I sang as I scrubbed soap up and down my body and as I did my hands found my hard on and I couldn't help rubbing over it "ummmm..." I smirked I poked my head out the shower checking the time on my speaker, I got time. So I turned it up higher and stood under the hot steamy water loosing myself in my imagination as my hand stroked my shaft slow and steady at first

"Hehe why hello my sweet boy" her voice Cooes her fingertips stroking across my chest

"Humm hello my darling" I smirked pulling her body close "what do I owe the pleasure?"

"Well I just wanted to make sure my lovely man was happy, ohh I see we have a big problem here" she smiled stroking my shaft

"Uhhh yeah we do baby-"

"Would my handsome boy like me to suck or would be perfer to go inside me?' She giggled turning to lean her naked body against the shower wall jiggling her ass at me

"Uhhhhh! Inside... you know I can't resist you darling" I growled kissing her neck and grinding myself against her-

"Uuhhhhhh! Uuuughhhhh!" I moaned my hips bucking forward my hand tightening as my erection softened and sent spurts of jizz down the shower drain "uhhhh.... Fuck" I gasped leaning on the wall to get my breath back, awww my fantasy was just getting good even my fantasy can't hold it together around y/n. I finished up my shower and headed to my room getting dressed and grabbing my stuff for work, heading downstairs seeing breakfast in the table for my mum and dad.

I grabbed some toast and a couple strawberries before giving my mum a kiss and my dad a hug

"Bye mum, bye dad. I'm off to work"

"What about breakfast?' She asked

"I'll grab a breakfast croissant at work" I told them as I scampered out the door and onto the street, I hurried my way to work having my strawberries and my toast before I got to work zart already here

"Till then trade?" He asks

"Deal" I nodded getting to sit at the counter while he stocked I just served customers felt with the hot food all of it literally just grab packet from box in the freezer but in heat lamp, or roller or whatever and just serve when ordered. We were busy for a while people heading off places grabbing snacks and breakfast stuff but of course by like nine it became a ghost town so I stocked all the hot food up, filled all the packaging bins, checked we had any deliveries and just sat in my chair listening to the hot roll roller whine in that way it always has.

I sighed trying to keep myself awake as even zart was now just checking slushie machines bored with little else to do

"Hi newt" I glanced up and immediately fell of my chair "oh god! Are you okay?'

I quickly got to my feet "hi y/n!"

"Hi"

"I wasn't doing anything so I fought I'd come and visit you" She smiled

"Awww that's sweet" I blushed "It is nice to see you,"

"Great, I'll grab a slushie and be right back" she smiled

When she picked out her slushie and came back we stood chatting for what felt like hours, but every so often serving the few customers that had come through, we chatted about everything and nothing about movies, shows, music, musicals and all sorts of other stuff but I couldn't help my smile unable to remove it from my face so much my cheeks hurt

"I uhh I I'm sorry y/n, I wish we could keep chatting but my shift is almost over"

"Ohh well, I'd be happy to walk you home if you let me?"

"ughh- if you sure yeah, I uhh I don't want to be any trouble though," I told her

"It's no trouble"

"I don't want you to go out of your way"

"It's okay I'm not doing anything, Unless you'd rather-"

"No no I want to I just don't want to be any trouble for you, I'd love to walk home with you." I smiled "Let me uhh just grab my stuff"

I grabbed my stuff and headed out with y/n, we walked side by side down the street chatting about next week when we would start rehearsals for the musical together until we got to the outside of my house.

"So this is me" I smiled

"Ohh I hoped the walk would be a little longer"

"Yeah, me too. sorry for not living so far away" I smiled even if the moment I said it I realized how stupid it sounded

"That's okay, maybe after rehearsals, you could walk me home?"

"Ohh yeah, absolutely I'd love too!"

"I'll plan it in then" she smiled "I'll let you go I've talked your ear off enough"

"It's no problem, I love getting to chat with you but I should probably go. Unless you'd like to stay you're more than welcome"

"Awww thank you but I promised my dad I'd be home for dinner, He's making chicken pot pie"

"Ohh, I uhh I love chicken pot pie"

"Awww I'll have to have a word with him then maybe he can make it for both of us in a week or two"

"Yeah, that sounds nice."

"Ohh here, I forgot to give you this yesterday" she smiled getting a little sticky note from her pocket with a cute flowery border

"what is it?"

"My number, so we can chat about rehearsals and all" She blushed

"Ohh yeah right course. I uhh I'll text you tonight"

"Great, Guess I'll see you at class Monday"

"yeah, are uhh are you busy Monday night? I thought maybe we could run lines?"

"Sorry cheer practice."

"It's okay don't worry about it"

"I'll see if I can get out a little early, just for you"

"That's sweet of you" I smiled

and In a wave of confidence, I moved closer and gave her cheek a gentle kiss over almost as soon as it started and I turned as bright red as a rose but she smiled widely

"What was that for?" she asks

"to uhhh to pay you back for the one yesterday" I blushed

"That's very sweet newt" she blushed moving closer and rubbing her nose on mine I smiled so widely rubbing my nose on hers too "I'll see you Monday" she smiled moving back and heading off down the street

"Yeah see you Monday" I gleamed trying not to get teary where I was just so insanely happy

"But I'll hear from you tonight?"

"You will, I'll text you I promise"

"You better" she waved

and just before she disappeared completely I blew her a kiss and she happily blew me one back.

I scampered inside shutting the door and leaning my back against it but my knees went weak and I slid down until my butt hit the welcome mat tears of joy flooding down my face as I hugged the little note close to my chest

"You alright?" My dad asks sitting in the kitchen with a coffee clearly just watched me do all that

"I'm fine dad." I smiled "Y/n walked me home"

"Ohhh I see." he nods

My proof that JD from Heathers had a SQUIP

It was late at night when I was listening to the Heathers soundtrack, when all of a sudden I came to the realisation that JD (heathers) has a SQUIP (bmc). (all according to the Heathers off-broadway soundtrack and the original bmc soundtrack)

Jason Dean 1) On September 1st, 1989, JD is a senior at Westerburg high school in Ohio 2) Lost his mother at a young age -- trauma 3) Moves from city to city often due to his dad’s work at Big Bud Dean Construction -- is a loner 4) Likes slushies from 7-11 which is a constant in his life

SQUIP 1) Super Quantum Unit Intel Processor -- a super computer made of math 2) Helps user achieve a goal and will go to extreme lengths to do so 3) Activated by green Mountain Dew, deactivated by red Mountain Dew (in the bmc universe, red Mountain Dew was discontinued in the 90s, not 1988) 4) Gets shut off by intoxicants -- alcohol messes you up, right?

JD and his SQUIP We can assume from JD going through '10 high schools' that he doesn't get chance to settle down in one place and make friends. High school is already a difficult place and it is made infinitely harder for him because he never stops in one place long enough. He went through 10 high schools in 3 years, that's over 3 high schools each year. He can't make deep connections with anybody because he doesn't have the chance.

Enter... the SQUIP

The SQUIP is programmed to make JD's high school experience less awful by showing him how to make short term relationships that leave a lasting impression on people, hopefully to make his high school experience more bearable. And the SQUIP carries out its task flawlessly. In Fight for Me, Veronica is immediately drawn to the attractive, loner bad-boy type because she finds him interesting. He rides a motorcycle for goodness sake! (This is similar to how Jeremy's SQUIP dictated his conversation to Brook). JD repeats what the SQUIP tells him to say. This happens again in Freeze Your Brain.

BUT

Before we go any further, it is important to note one thing. JD has found a way to temporarily shut off his SQUIP, and its not through alcohol like Jeremy suggested... its his slushies. His precious, precious slushies which give him a brain freeze, because 'who needs cocaine' when slushies are right there.

Freeze Your Brain This whole song is the SQUIP trying to make JD seem mysterious and edgy before JD freezes him out, is edgy and trauma dumps. He also mentions how when the 'voice in your head says you're better off dead' he just goes and reaches for a slushie - clear reference to the SQUIP telling Jeremy 'everything about you makes me want to die' and the final song 'Voices in my head'

Red Mountain Dew So we know that JD has a SQUIP at Freeze Your Brain. But how can he go from that to killing three students, threatening Veronica and almost blowing up a school. Well? The answer lies in the next appearance of JD - Dead Girl Walking. At the surface, Better chug that Mountain Dew seems like an innocent line, especially when compared to the context of the song. But it is this line that holds the key to the entire mystery, and it is Veronica’s order that leads to the death of her classmates.

Because there is a way to permanently shut off SQUIPS: Mountain Dew Red as stated in Be more Chill. At the time BMC is set, Mountain Dew Red is such a threat to the existence of SQUIPs that they get it discontinued. It is Michael’s obsession with 90’s drinks that saved the world from getting SQUIP'd. Though in real life Mountain Dew Red was discontinued in 1988, in the BMC universe it happened in the 90s meaning its possible that what JD chugged was red, and so permanently shut off his SQUIP

When he chugs the mountain dew, he, perhaps unknowingly, shuts off his SQUIP. There is no longer an external (internal?) force controlling him. It is the first time in a long time that JD can think and act for himself without the use of slushies.

From then on, we see his acts of violence escalate.

The Me Inside Of Me: Poisons Heather Chandler. She dies. Convinces Veronica to forge a suicide note

Our Love is God: Shoots Kurt and Ram. Manipulates Veronica to go along with him by lying to her

Seventeen: We ask ourselves: does he really love her? Maybe he does, maybe he's lying again. We don't know. He's unpredictable, we can’t trust him

Meant to be Yours And so, we come to Meant to be Yours. I've seen this song performed in many different ways but in the end it always comes back to JD who has finally snapped so we see him unrestrained and it is terrifying. Its this mix of rage and sadness which in him is a deadly combination.

He has lost his SQUIP which acts as his restraint and self control. Without it, we get the real, terrifying, movie-esque JD.

And then obviously later on if that wasn't enough he tries to blow up a school.

Timeline Its difficult to pinpoint exactly when or where JD got the SQUIP but considering he travelled so often it could have been anywhere. When going from Las Vegas to Boston he could have travelled through New Jersey (where bmc is set) before stopping in Ohio. Its possible.

This makes so much sense to me though. There are so many links that I can't not believe this (at least for the original off-broadway production). Did this convince you??

My headcannon is that JD's SQUIP looks like Christian Slater ok bye

So like, I know that the whole thing with JD’s character in Heathers is that he’s slowly going over the edge, losing any sanity he had left, but consider: JD was insane the whole time, and he was just using Veronica from the beginning.

During Candy Store, JD can be seen wandering around in the background, watching but staying out of the way

Freeze Your Brain is the same as always, except during the ‘forget in six weeks’ verse, he just gets this far away look on his face, and he forgets Veronica is there for a second, turning to the audience and singing for them instead

Constant fourth walls breaks

Before his character gets introduced, you can see him watching from the back or the wings, smiling slightly

Me Inside of Me is the big kicker for this idea, so it gets several notes

During the whole bit when the police find Heather’s body, not only is Veronica there to sing the suicide note, but JD is standing near the curtains, a small smile on his face as he watches the scene

He walks off stage as the scene shifts, but comes back on during the teacher meeting, and when Fleming says ‘are children are dying’ JD looks to the audience, smiles, and raises an eyebrow

During the school scene when Fleming is doing ‘healing’, JD and Veronica are slightly farther forward on stage, so the audience can see their expressions better

When Fleming calls on Veronica, JD visibly tenses, watching her with wide eyes, and he only relaxes when Fleming says ‘my god…’

Then as the kids are singing ‘and you and you and you’ JD smiles at the audience, slipping away from Veronica and towards the wings of the stage, staying in the audience’s view but making himself separate from the group

During the whole ‘heather’s dead, but she will live inside me’ bit, JD is mimicking the other students motions and moves, over exaggerating their joy, all with a smirk on his lips

On the ‘heather is’ beat drop, JD rips his copy of the suicide note in half, crumpling it up into a ball

As the song finishes on the ‘me!’ JD grins, tossing the crumpled note out into the audience before disappearing into the wings

During Our Love is God, on lines like ‘well burn away that tear’ and ‘they all will disappear’ he gets that look again that he had during Freeze Your Brain, once again singing to the audience

JD’s face is turned away from the audience when he shoots Kurt, and as the song pauses, his arm falls, the gun falling from his hands. But when he turns around for the ‘what the fuck have you done?’ He’s grinning

He looks genuinely confused at that line too, as though he doesn’t understand what Veronica means

When he sings to her, the last ‘I worship you’ and so on, he looks loving and caring, but as he turns back to the audience for the ‘we’ll make them disappear’ bit, he goes back to looking unhinged, grinning at the audience

As they sing the last ‘our love is god’ JD holds one of Veronica’s hands with his own, his other arm slowly raising into the air before cutting in front of him right as the song cuts off and the stage drops into darkness

JD can once again be seen in the background of Dead Gay Son, grinning and shooting looks at the audience

Same with Shine a Light (Reprise)

The rest carries on as normal, and he actually does regret everything during Dead Girl Walking (Reprise) and I am Damaged

He dies as normal

And then during the last chorus of Seventeen (Reprise) he walks out of the wings, staying close to them though, not fully coming onto the stage

He makes eye contact with Veronica, giving her a genuine smile

Then he turns to the audience, winking and giving them a two fingered salute before disappearing back into the wings

This is just my personal ideas about Heathers and JD in particular, cause I love his character but I want to see him like this, making him kind of like a director of the whole show himself. Like the puppet master moving everything exactly how he wants it. Idk if any of this made any sense, so I apologize, but I just think its cool. That’s all.

"Freeze your brain" from the Heathers musical is actually a really good example of JD's character. It gives background on his family situation and stuff, but it's also a really interesting look at his mind and how it works + what he's gone through and how he copes.

He sings, " I don't learn the names/Don't bother with faces/All I can trust is this concrete oasis."

He doesn't prioritize human connections, instead, he turns to a literal store. He loves the stability it provides in his rather unstable life. He talks about trust, throughout the musical (and film) he shows his contempt for other students, but once he decides to trust Veronica he latches on to her. He chose her, just like the 7-Eleven.

"Suck on that straw/Get lost in the pain/Happiness comes/When everything numbs"

He talks (sings lol) about numbing himself, which to me, alludes to his feelings about his lifestyle. He constantly hops locations, not finding somewhere to call home. He doesn't have friends, or connections other than his sorta toxic father. He's put up a guise of false bravado (is it?) about this, like he doesn't care, or maybe he actually doesn't. What is made clear (crystal?) is that his refuge provides him with a distraction from his father and his situation. He numbs himself, but at least it isn't with cocaine right?

"When mom was alive/We lived halfway normal../I learned to cook pasta/Learned to pay rent/Learned the world/Doesn't owe you a cent"

Okay, in the song he sounds so lighthearted, he's become used to the fact that his mother died/committed suicide/got killed. The lines lead from him joking about the things he's learned around the house. I don't think a 17 yr old should be paying rent, jeez his dad is irresponsible. But then he goes on to sound so bitter. I think that a part of him is okay with what his life is like, but he has also been hurt a lot.

He goes on to sing about building walls, walls that he wants Veronica to build. He wants to protect her, the fact that he kills people who had hurt her proves that he is VERY protective. She is such a positive yet hilariously cynical person, but she doesn't have the boundaries that JD has.

I have two more lines to rant about.

"Shut your eyes tight/Till you vanish from sight/Let nothing remain"

This is in the chorus, and it talks yet again about hiding, forgetting who he is, and protecting himself. More proof that he has physical and mental crutches that he uses to deal with his father and the shit he's gone through. I swear to god this boy has some form of PTSD. It's also partly about being invisible. Constantly being the "New kid" must be hard, year after year. In the song, he sings about how he moves every six weeks or so, and that must be tough for him. Never settling down, never getting out of the phase where he knows nobody.

2. "Shatter your skull/Fight pain with more pain/Forget who you are/Unburden your load"

Just a reminder that this is all about slushies lol. I totally have to remind myself that sometimes kldhgl. Literally, LITERALLY showing his tendency for violence. I mean for fucks sake, this boy killed three people, caused suicide to become a trend, and tried to blow up a high school. Maybe? Just maybe? it was a sign?? More talking of forgetting, and unburdening a load. This heavily implies that he has troubles that he wants to forget.

JD makes me literally so sad, he's a little hurt bean who needs a hug but also a boop on the nose because killing people doesn't pass the vibe check. Anyways yeah. This song is sort of deep but also about a gas station store. lol

More Heathers: The Musical (2014) thoughts - Freeze Your Brain

TW: Discussion of child abuse, neglect, self harm and self destructive tendencies, suicide, and murder.

The song ‘Freeze Your Brain’ is the fourth song in the Heathers soundtrack, and is sung from the perspective of Jason Dean (JD) and Veronica Sawyer. It rather unsubtly lays out JD’s backstory and current motivations, and fucking slaps. It is one of the most iconic and memorable songs for a reason! Freeze Your Brain makes no secret of the fact that it is exposition. The first line is literally ‘I’ve been through ten high schools, they start to get blurry.’ It is not hiding the fact that it is telling more than it is showing. But it doesn’t feel wrong, because JD is an edgy teenager trauma dumping on his new girlfriend, and that fits his character! He chides Veronica for being naïve (’You’re planning your future / Veronica Sawyer / You’ll go to some college / And marry a lawyer / But the sky’s gonna hurt when it falls / So you better start building some walls’), despite the fact that they are at a similar age, and that Veronica is also mildly cynical to the world (as shown in the intro song, Beautiful). This shows us that JD feels like he knows more than her, most like due to feeling mature for his age thanks to having to take care of himself for several years, presumably due to neglect from his father. JD’s life is constantly unstable due to his living circumstances. JD and his father move a lot (’My dad keeps two suitcases packed in the den / So it’s only a matter of when’), and so JD doesn’t have the time or willingness to make connections with other people. This is also what presumably causes him to feel that only himself and Veronica are worth anything, as other people are merely faces that enter and leave his life. In short, great setup for his later overvaluing of himself and Veronica, and motivation for murder! I also find it interesting how this foreshadowing is a form of showing in a song that is otherwise about telling. His living circumstances may also be an example of neglect and/or child abuse, although this is slightly vague. The canonical info is just that his mother is dead, meaning JD and his father have to work harder to fill that gap; however, the implication of them moving a lot, JD cooking, and having to learn how to pay rent is that his father is not fulfilling all of JD’s needs, whether from working long hours or from other issues. My interpretation of this is that this constitutes neglect, even if JD’s father was otherwise a good parent! JD’s unhealthy thought processes, self-harm, and later actions also make sense if we assume that his circumstances resulted in trauma and possibly one or more cluster b personality disorders (note that people with cluster b personality disorders are not inherently evil abusers, but rather a result of unstable childhoods). It’s unclear when his mother died and his current lifestyle started though, so it’s hard to make assumptions. The 7/11 and the slushies they sell there are a form of stability for JD. He finds comfort in the fact that the chain store is found all over the US, and therefore that no matter where he moves, he can trust that there will be one there. This is repeatedly stated throughout the song, as a clear parallel to how the rest of his life is constantly changing, The namesake of the song, his use of 7/11 slushies as a form of self harm (as he repeatedly states that drinking the ice-cold drink provides pain and numbness), is super interesting to me. JD states that he uses it as an alternative to more severe actions (’When the voice in your head / Says you’re better off dead / Don’t open a vein / Just freeze your brain’ ‘Happiness comes when everything numbs / Who needs cocaine?’). I think it’s also interesting how his constant advocation for abusing the drink could tie back into his feeling of superiority; unlike people who do drugs or cut themselves, he drinks slushies despite the urge to do worse, and he talks about it with this self-aware ironical and superior tone. This is mostly speculation based off of the tone of voice this particular JD sings with though, and may not be supported entirely by the lyrics. I also wonder if the writers of both the original movie and the musical were aware of the impact this scene would have on fans. Unfortunately, a lot of edgy teens took this song as more of an aspirational or self-reflective thing instead of the shortcut to JD’s characterisation it acts as. It’s one of the most popular songs to make animatics to as far as I can tell, although it might be beaten by Beautiful and Dead Girl Walking (Reprise). It definitely helped JD to soar in popularity, as the tragedy of his backstory provides an out for people to excuse or ignore his rather questionable actions as well as the murder, even though in the song itself he is encouraging Veronica to join him in his favourite form of self-harm. Overall, it’s a good song that does what it set out to do really effectively, and lives in my head rent free. It sets the bar high for the rest of the soundtrack, and helps JD’s later actions feel like something out of a tragedy instead of just a comedy.

bro i really be out here thinking about the beauty of the heathers soundtrack in the year of your lord 2020 don't i. it's like. when i first listened to the musical i thought the songs were really good (because they Were) but now? now that i've lived more and had more high school experiences and know more i really just relate to the soundtrack So Much More. and maybe not even relate but understand and appreciate at least. so, in order of appearance, but excluding certain songs (this is a long one boys so strap in):

fight for me is catchy and funny and nice But Also. veronica,,,,,,,, i understand so much better now,,,,, i too want someone to fight for me,,,,, [itsaboutthedesireparksandrec.jpg]

freeze your brain b like: hahahahah slushies and brain freeze and dead mom but its REALLY about how jd has a sucky life and a lack of support and good outlets for his emotions, not to mention lacking all the stability a teen in hs deserves to have

OUR LOVE IS GOD H O LY S HIT anyway i love this song (esp the choreo bc its amazing and so so so so so so so good but thats a different talk) and the ways that jd is manipulating and lying to veronica and how he genuinely believes that he is doing whats best and helping veronica. all the subtle manipulations and small lies and parallels and word choice and tone choice AND HOW JD COMPARES THEM TO GOD AND I- [poeticcinema.jpg]

seventeen is so real (even if you and your bf havent killed three people in faked suicides). the desire to just Be Young? act your age? be children and carefree? in this society? it's more likely than youd think

shine a light/lifeboat/shine a light reprise are all so good at highlighting just how alienating anything can be. from being an outcast to popular to dead. and also it just shows some fucked up kids and thats always fun.

IM CRYING KINDERGARTEN BOYFRIEND IS MY FAVORITE SONG FROM THIS MUSICAL OKAY I JUST-

it starts out silly, you know? a little bit of reminiscing on the past, on simpler times. and god dont we all think about this? if you watch the production then youll notice how that song always gets some laughs in the start (esp at the description of ram appearing on a pegasus). but. but. the raw feeling in that song? the desire for simpler times? for a better situation? for a boy she loved once? its deep and sad and agonizing and Real and i just love it a lot okay

BRO OKAY SO MEANT TO BE YOURS REALLY HITS DIFFERENT WHEN YOUVE BEEN IN A RELATIONSHIP THATS ENDED BADLY. the way he talks????? the way hes so obviously damaged and insane?? the way he talks about veronica and their relationship????? its terrifying. idrk how to describe it but the way he talks about her and what he would do for her and what he thinks is best for her is just So Scary when you have even the slightest bit of real life experience to tie to it.

and then you have i am damaged which shows the other side of this relationship and how utterly destroyed veronica is at that point. she believes she deserves to die for dating this boy who manipulated her into committing murders wtih him and then Covering Them Up with him and implicating herself in that. well, more specifically, she believes she deserves to die because despite all that, despite the murders and the death and lies? she'd loved him anyway.

and in between that and i am damaged she takes the bomb and attempts to BLOW HERSELF UP!!!! heres the thing. she didnt need to do that. she could have dropped the bomb and left and not been injured. but she believed she'd just killed jd (the first murder she knowingly and willingly took part in) and at this point it is redemption for her. no, not redemption. atonement. she believes that she needs to make up for everything she'd done while with jd.

but then jd comes in and takes he bomb from her and takes her place in what she'd planned to do and he dies. he is damaged and he knows this but the thing is that i know he did not die to be atoned or redeemed or even forgiven. he died bc he loved her so much that he was willing to let her forgive him in death. and so that she could live and be alive. he did not care about being redeemed or regret what he'd done. but he cares that veronica did.

and when you get to the reprise of seventeen? the simple desire to be kids? the hope that even after everything she's done she still deserves to be happy and alive? i'll be damned if i don't know that feeling well.

#long post #heathers #heathers the musical #jd #jason dean #veronica sawyer #thesnekspeaks #im literally so invested in this musical im gonna go ham #jdronica #TECHNICALLY

Heathers | Sweet Pea

A/N: As I said, I was rewriting Riverdale’s Heathers episode with focus on Sweet Pea and Reader as JD and Veronica Sawyer, and the rehearsals for the musical rather than everything around it (and if it’s the drama around it, it’s drama between Sweet Pea and Y/N). We’ve been robbed of the masterpiece that is Sweet Pea singing Meant To Be Yours. I mean??? That song is amazing in both the off-Broadway and the West End prodcution and Sweet Pea would’ve looked SO HOT singing it and going all completely mental! I did add some characters as friends of Y/N that are part of the musical too since I wanted an appropriate character to play Martha other than Toni (????) who really does not fit the role of Martha Dunnstock. So, I think it’s going to be a six parter and I’ll try to upload one every night at 7pm. (can’t promise anything though) Lemme know if I need to make a taglist and who to put on it! :) Enjoy, kiddos!

Words: 1711

Pairing: Sweet Pea x Y/N

Warnings: cursing, angst

Act one: Freeze Your Brain

Every year we do a different musical at Riverdale High. Last year, we did Carrie, but this year, we’re doing my favorite musical ever: Heathers. If Cheryl Blossom hadn’t claimed the role of Heather Chandler, I would’ve auditioned for it. Mainly so I could yell ‘Shut up, Heather!’ at pretty much any given moment. But I did get the role of Veronica Sawyer which is kind of a more important role than Heather Chandler. I mean, Heather does die quite early on. “I’ve asked Evelyn to step up as co-director,” Kevin Keller, who always directs the musicals, says at our first day of rehearsals. I liked him as director in last year’s play and I think he and Evelyn will be a good team on this year’s musical too. However, Betty Cooper does not agree with that. “Why don’t we introduce ourselves and the parts we’re playing to get Evelyn up to speed with everything?” Cheryl gets up from her chair, clearly wanting to be the first one to go. “I’m Cheryl Blossom and I’m obviously playing Heather Chandler.” I roll my eyes at her. Being ‘theater-nerd’ means not getting along with the popular kids such as Cheryl Blossom and Betty Cooper. It’s not that I hate them, I just don’t want to be friends with them. I mean, it wouldn’t click between us anyway since all I ever do – according to most jocks – is talk and think and dream of musicals. If I didn’t know any better, I’d think they’re assuming I always sing when I speak. Misconceptions about theater kids. “I’m Veronica Lodge, and I play Heather McNamara,” the rich girl with the raven-hair introduces herself. To be honest, Veronica did play Chris in last year’s play and she was honestly amazing. Her voice is to die for. I would ask her to join the drama club, but I’m too scared to. “Betty Cooper, I’m playing the third Heather; Heather Duke.” Then Reggie Mantle clears his throat, clearly wanting to go next, “Reggie, AKA jock Ram Sweeney. Going to bro it up with my bud Arch here. Just two single straight dudes doing some theater.” Once again I have to roll my eyes back at the annoying toxic masculinity-filled jock behind me. “And I play Kurt Kelly,” Archie then says with a small smile. He seems to be annoyed by the antics of his bro. I chuckle at the two boys, earning a glare from them. “You do know Kurt Kelly and Ram Sweeney are actually fake outed as gay by JD and Veronica, right?” I ask them with an amused smile on my face before turning back to Kevin and Evelyn. “I’m Y/N, and I play the ever so lovely Veronica Sawyer. Outcast, turned Heather, then blowing up my boyfriend.” Margot and Ella, my two best friends from drama club give me a sly grin. They both have the same idea as me; neither one of these guys knows the script yet. “Hi, I’m Sweet Pea,” a guy behind me then says. He’s one of the only Serpents with a vital part in the musical. The other Serpents are part of the ensemble, which is also important. But Sweet Pea’s role is one of the biggest, along with mine. “I play Jason Dean, or JD. Veronica’s bad-boy love interest who apparently blows up?” I turn to look at him and give him a nod that tells him he should believe me when I say Jason Dean gets blown up in the end. My eyes glance down to his neck where his Serpent tattoo prominently decorates his skin. I don’t mind the Serpents as much as the other Northsiders did. I didn’t mind when they transferred to our school whilst others picked on them and nearly got them suspended. I don’t hate them but I’m not friends with them either. I just don’t care. I mind my own business, which is theater most of the time. “I’m Jodie Smiths,” the girl next to Margot says. Jodie is also part of the drama club, but we’re not really great friends. I mean, we tolerate each other, and we do what we’re told when we have to do a scene together. But it’s not like I would invite her for a milkshake at Pop’s after rehearsals. Not like I do with Margot and Ella. “I’m portraying Martha Dunnstock in Heathers.” “Fangs,” another one of the Serpents raising his hand as he speaks up, “Hipster dork.” “Toni,” the girl Serpent then speaks up, “New wave girl.” “I’m Josie,” another Northsider girl goes, “And I’m the republican girl.” “Hi, my name’s Margot and I play the role of Stoner chick.” “And I’m Ella, playing the role of preppy kid.” I give my two best friends a wide smile. I’m proud of both of them for making it into the cast even though most of the popular kids claimed the other roles. A few other Serpents and Northsiders tell Evelyn – and the rest of us – what their role in the ensemble is, but I don’t even listen anymore. I’m too filled up with excitement to get started on my favorite musical ever. And then nerves start kicking in when I think of all the scenes I’ll have to do with Cheryl Blossom, Betty Cooper and Veronica Lodge, but mostly the ones with Sweet Pea. I have to make out with Sweet Pea. On stage. “Okay, let’s get started on vocal warm-ups and we’ll sing a few songs from the script to get us started,” Kevin suggests as he claps his hands. “Y/N, Margot, Ella and Jodie, why don’t you guide us through vocal warm-ups?” The four of us nod and get up off our chair, urging the others to do the same. We then teach them the sounds we always make during drama class to warm up. “Good!” Kevin then exclaims when we tell him they’re ready. “Let’s start with Beautiful then. Veronica Sawyer, take it away.” I nod and head up the stage, along with the rest. We don’t know any choreography yet, but it’ll be better if we’re up there to sing the songs. “September 1st, 1989. Dear Diary: I believe I'm a good person. You know, I think that there's good in everyone, but—here we are! First day of senior year! And uh... I look around at these kids that I've known all my life and I ask myself—what happened?” That’s how Heathers: the musical always starts, and that’s how this adventure starts too. “And you know, you know, you know Life can be beautiful You hope, you dream, you pray And you get your way! Ask me how it feels Lookin' like hell on wheels... My God, it's beautiful! I might be beautiful... And when you're beautiful... It's a beautiful frickin' day!” I belt out the last note just like Barret Wilbert Weed does on the cast recording of the Broadway show. I feel like Barret Wilbert Weed or any other Broadway actress I’ve looked up to since I was a child. The ensemble belts out their last note too, getting Kevin, Evelyn and Sweet Pea up on their feet and clapping. I’m not entirely sure whether it’s just for me or for the entire cast, but it still gives me a wicked feeling of pride. “Y/N! I was obsessed with everything you put in that performance!” Evelyn exclaims when the clapping had died down. “Damn, girl! I’m so glad we casted you!” I can hear Betty scoff behind me, but I don’t care. All I care about is that they liked what I did with the song. Even though it’s just what I always do in my shower when I sing that song at the top of my lungs. “Yes! And ensemble was good too!” Kevin then adds to give them some compliments too. “Let’s just go in order of songs, so Candy Store next!” he informs, so I get off the stage and grab my water bottle to drink. I just have one line to say, but no singing in this song, sadly enough. I only go back on when Fight For Me is on and stay on for Freeze Your Brain. I hadn’t heard Sweet Pea yet as this song is his first one in the whole show. “I've been through ten high schools They start to get blurry No point planting roots 'Cause you're gone in a hurry My dad keeps two suitcases packed in the den” My eyes widen a little when his voice chimes through the auditorium. He has a nice singing voice. Pleasant to listen to. Very soothing. “Care for a hit?” he asks, spoken this time, but still part of the song. It takes me away from my thoughts about how good his voice is. “Does your mommy know you eat all that crap?” I shoot back, and then he goes back into singing. My breath hitches in my throat when his voice grows louder and the notes get higher, but he hits them perfectly. I figured he could sing a bit since he got cast as JD, but I didn’t expect him to be this good. My knees even buckle a little at the way he sings ‘Veronica Sawyer’. All of a sudden, the boy becomes more attractive to me than he already was. I mean, he’s not bad looking, but the fact that he can hit all of those notes makes him twice as attractive. He makes me jump out of my thoughts when his voice grows softer and more vulnerable. “Just freeze your brain Freeze your brain Go on and freeze your brain...” His eyes meet mine when he goes, “Try it,” in a spoken voice, just like Ryan McCartan who sings it in the off-Broadway version. Then applause bursts from the auditorium, making me jump a little. I had almost forgotten we were still in rehearsals. “Damn, you’re good,” I mumble, and hope he doesn’t hear. But judging from the little smirk that pulls at the corner of his mouth, I think he has. From that moment on, I knew this musical was going to change things in my life. Whether it was making new friends or playing the role of my dreams, it will change everything.

Heathers AU MasterPost

So anyway, I made a post on one of my alts about a Heathers AU so I went and made one. Enjoy?

Character Assignment:

Heather C: TangoTek

Heather D: ImpulseSV

Heather M: Zedaph

Kurt and Ram: Cub and Scar

Martha Dunstock: Joe Hills.

Veronica: XisumaVoid.

JD: Evil X.

Contextual Changes:

-The Convex aren't creeps in this AU like Kurt and Ram are, just really shady business men. I'm not comfortable with that in my AU or portraying characters based on real people like that; even if it is just the character. Sorry.

-Joe isn't bullied for being fat (because he isn't.) He gets bullied for being weird. IE, 'who writes poetry for fun? Geek.'

-Unlike Martha Dunstock who has a crush on Ram (or Kurt if it's the movie,) Joe just wants to befriend Scar and learn how to make hella money.

-Xisuma (Veronica) and Evil X (JD) knew each other before the AU started but Xisuma hasn't really given him the time of day until now.

-Also they aren't a couple, just good friends.

-Dead Gay Son and Shine A Light were removed because they didn't really have narrative purpose.

-Anyway, this is based on the musical meaning if anything changed from the Movie, (IE, Betty Finn's disappearance) that also goes here.

Line Changes: (WIP, also I'm bad at lyrics. Feel free to comment or reshare with additions.)

Veronica: Things will get better, soon as my letter, comes from Harvard, Duke or Brown. Wake from this coma, take my diploma, then I can blow this town.

Xisuma: Things will get better, soon as my letter, comes from damn SMP Live. Wake from this nightmare, no longer have to care, then I can leave these guys.

(Tomcat)

Heather C: Mascara maybe some lip gloss, now we're on our way.

Tango: Leave the helmet, come on let's see you- oh you're kinda cute.

(Tomcat)

Heather M: Course if you don't care, fine, go braid her hair. Maybe Sesame Street is on.

Zedaph: Course if that's your schtick, fine, go suck his dick. Maybe get the gay pornos on.

(Tomcat)

The Plot:

It's the start of Season N. Xisuma's getting tired of being admin and has secretly planned this to be his last season on the server. His plan is to join SMP Live once it's all over. His friend Joe Hills (they've been friends since season 1) asks X if he's free to hang out after the recording day is over. X is like 'yeah, sure bud! :D' and Scar and Cub start bullying both of them.

Some time passes and X is chilling in an area he's not meant to be in. Team ZIT is also there and a hermit who isn't the owner of the area says 'hey? Are you allowed to be there?' Xisuma pulls out a fake I.O.U and says 'yeah, we have permission.' The hermit leaves and Team ZIT take an interest in Xisuma. They let him join team ZIT. (Beautiful.)

Meanwhile, The Vexes are leaving for about a week or so. Cub and Scar decide to hold a 'welcome to the new season!' Party at their base and invite Team ZIT+X. Tango peer pressures Xisuma into making a fake invitation to Joe Hills for the banter and Xisuma does it. (Candy Store.)

Anyway, Xisuma stumbles across Evil X winning in PVP against Cub and Scar. (Fight For Me.) After Cub and Scar either die or retreat (or both,) Xisuma says hello to Evil X and strikes up a conversation. Evil X is sad because everyone thinks he's evil and he has no friends. Xisuma apologises to him for treating him too harshly and banning him whenever he comes online and they become friends. (Freeze Your Brain.)

The Convex throw their party. Xisuma gets drunk and throws up on Tango's foot or something and Tango is ticked off. Tango's gonna PVP him and or grief his base, whichever takes ya fancy. (Big Fun.)

Xisuma goes to Evil X and climbs in through his window. They just hang out and play games all night and get to know each other better. Evil X suggests on kicking Tango out the server for threatening to grief Xisuma's base. Xisuma isn't sure about that initally but he eventually around. (Dead Girl Walking.)

The two go to Tango's base and offer him suspicious stew. Tango gets poisoned from it and Evil X 'jokingly' punches him and kills him. Xisuma bans him before he can respawn.

Xisuma writes a goodbye note to the server from Tango saying he's leaving. Nobody suspects Xisuma actually banned him. (Me Inside Of Me.)

After that kerfuffle, Scar and Cub go and try to get Xisuma to buy stuff from them. Xisuma keeps telling them to shove off as he can't leave as he's working on a build. Eventually, he gives up and goes to vent to Evil X. (Blue but the lyrics are so changed it's not even the same song.) Evil X suggests pranking Scar and Cub to get them back. Xisuma says okay and sends a message down the communicator saying 'hey, okay, maybe I do wanna buy from you. I'll give you 10 diamonds for (insert item) if you meet me in the shopping district behind Mumbo's shop at sundown.'

Anyway, Xisuma meets with Cub and Scar at sun down. He starts stalling because he didn't actually bring any diamonds. Evil X snipes Cub. Scar tries to run away. His communicator buzzes and he realises Cub was banned. He says he 'doesn't understand' and starts crying because Evil X 'banned his best friend.' Evil X kills and bans Scar too. Xisuma's like 'why'd you ban them? How did you ban them?'

Evil X explains he can ban people and always could but only in the window between being dead and respawning, hence why he always wanted to PVP everyone. Evil X forces Xisuma to write leaving notes for Scar and Cub. He doesn't care what's on it, just put the blame on them. Xisuma remembers that Tango was Cub and Scar's best customer so he says that they'd been planning to leave for a while but Tango leaving was the last straw. (Our Love Is God. But it's not because they're just friends.)

Xisuma tries to talk Evil X out of banning anyone else. Evil X feigns it working. (Seventeen)

Meanwhile, Zedaph is having a hard time trying to cope with Tango leaving. He's just finishing up a build and is mumbling to himself about how he's gonna leave the server once it's done. Xisuma catches him and encourages him to stay. Zedaph stays. (Lifeboat and Shine A Light Reprise.)

Joe tries to leave too due to Scar and Cub leaving. He actually does for a bit but is convinced by Xisuma over discord to come back. (Kindergarten.)

Xisuma starts getting worried about his plans to leave the server. He's beginning to realise that he's basically the glue holding this server together considering the fact that people have started to want to leave. (Yo Girl.)

Xisuma hides in his base to have his mental breakdown meanwhile Evil X is outside telling him about how he's going to destroy the server (ASMR.) Xisuma uses commands to make it look like he's left the server. Evil X falls for it and goes to nuke the server. (Meant To Be Yours.)

Xisuma goes to hunt down Evil X. Xisuma finds him in a big hole filled with TNT under the shopping district. Evil X monologues for a bit and Xisuma tries to ban him. It doesn't work. Apparently Evil X swapped their roles in the server, making it so that Evil X can ban people without killing them and X can only ban people during the 'dead but not respawned' window. Xisuma and Evil X PVP for a bit and Xisuma slays Evil X. (Dead Girl Walking Reprise.) Xisuma comes out the hole and Evil X sets off the TNT anyway. Evil X dies and Xisuma bans him. (I Am Damaged.)

Anyway, Xisuma, Joe and Zedaph become friends, the end. (Seventeen Reprise.)

IT’S HEATHERS TIME, BITCHES.

I am listening to the Off-Broadway version, the West End version is way further down the line.

“White trash,” the students at a school with a population of like one PoC say.

I’m just thinking about EMHS because of Heather M. Once this is over, I should listen to the EMHS playlist that I put together with Robin because it’d be funny. Only problem is that it’s like 8 hours long.

The ranking goes Heathers The Musical, Illegal Heathers, Riverdale Heathers, and Paramount Heathers. I don’t take constructive criticism.

I’m 79.69% sure that in LA Heathers Heather M told Veronica to sleep with her, and I think that should’ve stayed in there.

Is Heather M a bully? Yes. Do I love her regardless? Absolutely.

The fact that it took me weeks to realize that JD and Diggy from Liv and Maddie were the same person. It blew my damn mind.

Also, I love Ryan McCartan. His Tik Toks are top tier.

Freeze Your Brain is a whole mood and a half. Coping Mechanisms! Even though he still killed three people, that’s a minor detail

I’m pretty sure the general agreement is that Big Fun is the worst Heathers song, which is valid. I don’t hate it, I just don’t vibe with it that much.

JD: You don’t need drugs if you have a nice brain freeze

Veronica like an hour later: HEY, IS THAT WEED?! I WANNA HIT!

It took me watching a boot to understand “thanks Heather, but I don’t really have to vomit right now” and when I realized it I was like “:0”

I loathe the “dang dang diggity dang-a dang” part of Big Fun because of how many people say “oh, yeah, that song from Tik Tok” when I play Heathers around them.

Where does Heathers take place? Because my understanding was that it’s in Ohio, but then she said “ride up to Seattle,” which is a bit extreme if you live in Ohio. If she was in like, Oregon or some shit, it would make sense. But you’re going to go 2247 miles to get to Seattle cause some Junior in highschool said you’re dead? Idk Veronica that’s a bit extra.

Also Ryan McCartan’s Dead Girl Walking Pronoun Showdown where you can hear Barrett laughing in the background.

*One kid dies*

Ms. Fleming: Our children are dYING!

On one hand, Me Inside of Me is a very real song. People aren’t always what they seem, and you can never know what another person’s experiences are. On the other hand, this doesn’t really apply to Heather C in the musical. There’s no evidence pointing to much hardship from what I remember. She just fucking sucked, and I love her for that.

I have a friend who likes to take my headphones and listen to whatever I’m listening to, and I was listening to Blue and I think I traumatized her.

I wish that the Blue reprise was on the soundtrack because it’s funny as hell.

Throwback to when Our Love is God was my favorite song from Heathers. It’s like 50% dialogue, but I just jammed to the last part of it on repeat.

My dad finds the “we had to hide our gay forbidden love from a misapproving world” part the funniest thing ever. He heard it once, and he hasn’t let go of it.

“Ram, you’re just unconscious, right.” WELL, IF WE WAS UNCONSCIOUS, HOW THE FUCK IS HE GONNA ANSWER?! I get that it’s a rhetorical question, but it’s a stupid one.

The instrumental at the end of Our Love is God will forever be A Bop™️

“I never cared for homos much until i reared me one” is actually just my parents. Like, literally my parents.

In the video’s of them rehearsing Dead Gay Son, Veronica and JD are confused as fuck the entire time and I love it.

Dead Gay Son 🤝Love Thy Neighbor. They’re the same song, and I still don’t take constructive criticism.

Throwback to the time I sang Seventeen with a girl on my softball team, and then we just sat there staring at each other like “woah.” And if you know anything about my team, you’ll know that we’re all gay.

I feel like it’s a crime that I don’t know all the words to Shine a Light. It’s highkey a bop.

Okay, okay, okay. One time I was playing music with my mom, and I got Killer Instinct. And my mom said “her voice is so soft, why is she not singing about the struggles of peer pressure and anxiety” AND THEN LIFEBOAT CAME ON AND I WAS LAUGHING SO HARD.

Also the way that Heather M hugs Veronica after Life boat makes me soft.

I used to scream Shine a Light (Reprise) when I felt terrible because it used to make me laugh. I pick the worst songs ever as comfort songs, and I will continue to do so.

THE THREE GENDERS: KERRY BUTLER, AARON TVEIT, AND KATIE LADNER.

I hate when people say “I don’t like Kindergarten Boyfriend because it’s so stupid.” YEAH, THAT’S THE POINT. IT’S STILL SAD. IT’S JUST ALSO REALLY DUMB.

I’ve always been confused why JD says “date to the pep rally.” That’s not typically how pep rallies work. You don’t have a date to a pep rally.

I love that in the musical Veronica starts screaming back at her mother, but in the movie, she’s just like “chill out, dude”

Dead Girl Walking: SEX!

Dead Girl Walking (Reprise): DEATH!

Which is basically the entire musical.

I’m pretty sure that there are a couple lyrical differences in the I Am Damaged from the Off-Broadway version to the West End version, and I don’t know which I prefer.

I hated Heather Duke the entire show, but I simultaneously love her. Throughout the entire show, she sucks. But she’s a good character.

I love Seventeen (Reprise) because it makes me happy. Why? Idk, it just makes me smile.

Final Judgement: The line “sleep with me” should’ve been kept in.

Okay, but actually, Heathers is iconic as fuck, I think it’s a really good adaptation of a great movie.

#long post #brees favorite games #tw drug mention #tw death mention #tw sex mention #tw capslock #if i missed any triggers please let me know #im trying to make sure i tag triggers more often but please call me out on things i missed

Tsubasa: Oh my god, I’m the Karen in this friend group.

Itsuki: What? No, you’re the precious cinnamon roll. McNamara?

Tsubasa: Itsuki, that means that- Wait, who’s Ronnie? And who’s JD?

Ellie: I’m Ronnie, obviously.

Yashiro: I’m guessing that since Touma’s Duke, that makes me JD.

Touma: Seeing as how I get “Shut up, Heather!”ed constantly, I’m definitely Duke here.

Kiria: Who am I? Ms. Fleming? I’d say I’m Chandler, but in this scenario, that’s Itsuki.

Touma: Oh, you’re Ms. Fleming. 100%.

Kiria: shINE SHINE SHINE A LIGHT-

Tsubasa: Can you guys let me finish??

Kiria: Fine...

Tsubasa: Thanks, guys. Alright, so Itsuki, that means that you’re a mythic bitch, Touma’s got basically zero personality, and I’m just there. So Touma’s Bulimic and he’s throwing up so we’re helping him out and Kiria walks in and gives us all detention, but Ellie forges a Hall Pass and gets us out of detention, we invite her to join our little clique, we try to destroy Ellie’s childhood best friend emotionally by forging a note by her crush of 12 years that he liked him back because she’s overweight, Ellie protests and we sing an epic trio song about dumping her and joining us, Touma gets “Shut up, Heather!”ed and shoved down, he jumps up and joins us for the last harmony, she decides to join us, and we find out that Yashiro just transferred in and he’s immediately picked on by Ellie’s childhood friend’s crush and his best friend, Yashiro punches one of them in the face, the entire school’s does a harmony of “Holy Shit”, Ellie’s like “Damn, he’s h o t !” And sings an entire solo about how if he’s still alive after punching one of the school’s biggest bullies in the face, can they go out? So then there’s a huge party, and they’re at the local 7-11, so they can buy some corn nuts for the party. Yashiro sings this whole solo about how his mom died and his dad’s always moving him around so he can never make meaningful human connections, and also how he’s basically running the house because his dad doesn’t really do much, so he drinks a lot of slushies because he uses brain freezes as a way of self-harm, you yell from outside that Ellie’s taking too long, and so you all go to the party and Ellie’s having the time of her life. Me, you, and Touma then see Ellie’s childhood friend walk into the party, and then Touma tries to pitch an idea to destroy her and the “Shut up, Heather” counter hits two. So then after everything happens Touma brings in the pig-shaped piñata and says “Who’s this pig remind you of, especially the snout!” And then “Dang Dang Diggidy Dang-a-Dang” intensifies, then they dress the pig like Ellie’s childhood friend and then afterwards they pretend to like her so she’ll hit the piñata that’s dressed as her, Ellie realizes and grabs the piñata and tells her friend to go home, she does, and then Ellie’s like “I’m resigning my commission from the lip gloss gestapo” and you tell her that she doesn’t get to be a nobody anymore, she’s an ex-somebody now, and then she throws up on your shoes, you scream, and Ellie says, in the most epic way possible, “Lick it up, baby, Lick it up!”. So Ellie realized that she just committed social suicide, and decided that hey, she’s gonna die? Well she’s sure as hell not gonna die a virgin. So she breaks into Yashiro’s house in the middle of the night and he’s... he’s just down to fuck so let’s go. So then she’s asleep, and then she has a nightmare of you taunting her for being a slut because you know everything, Ellie wakes up screaming, she decides she has to apologize to you, and she goes over, grovels for mercy, and then she makes you a hangover cure because you said you’d think about it if she makes it, and so Yashiro makes a joke by pouring drain cleaner into a mug and saying that they should give it to you because it’s hard to tell in a mug that it looks wrong, she says that’s not funny, and goes to grab a mug, and it’s the drain cleaner one, Yashiro notices, but doesn’t say so, your last words are “Corn Nuts”, and then they stage it as a suicide and you haunt her, there’s a thing at school where everyone’s reading your suicide note and everyone’s happy meanwhile you’re screaming that everyone loves you now that you’re dead and everyone thinks you were a good person-

Itsuki: What the fuck?

Tsubasa: I’m not done! *deep breath* so we begin act 2 and everyone’s doing decently, and then I call Ellie and ask her to meet us at the graveyard, where we run into two drunk idiots that keep begging for consent to sex, Ellie’s immediately saying absolutely fucking not, leaves, and then Touma rises to power almost immediately, gets a dramatic solo because Ellie tries to yell at you to shut up, but since you’re a ghost he assumes she’s talking to him and does this whole solo where he says he’ll never shut up again and he and two other guys spread a rumor about Ellie doing the two other guys at once, Yashiro goes even more batshit and tricks Ellie again into killing the two guys that they say she did and makes it looks like they were gay for each other and killed themselves because the world would have rejected them, Kiria runs a whole assembly where she says she cares about saving lives when really she just wants attention, I volunteer to talk at the assembly, say “Jesus, I’m on the freaking bus again because all my rides to school are dead” I have my solo where I say I feel terrified at every turn about making the wrong move and losing every bit of my popularity, Touma goes feral on me for saying the truth, that the school is shit, and he drives me to a suicide attempt, Ellie saves my life and points out that if I was happy every day of my life, I’d be a game show host. Yashiro asks why the hell she saved me, Ellie says it’s because I’m her friend, Yashiro then suggests they kill Touma because he drove me to the suicide attempt, Ellie dumps Yashiro by singing that she’s done with all this murder bullshit, Ellie’s childhood friend jumps off a bridge, Touma makes fun of her and Ellie goes to the hospital to apologize, and ghosts of you and the two guys taunt her as Ellie’s parents come in and say that Yashiro told them about Ellie’s “suicidal thoughts” that he fabricated, and they showed her the copy of Moby Dick that she owns, which is filled with suicidal thoughts in her own handwriting, you go over her shoulder and go like “He’s got your handwriting down cold” and-

Itsuki: I don’t think I want to know the rest-

Tsubasa: I’m almost done! So then the ghost trio’s haunting the fuck out of Ellie and telling her that like. He’s coming for you and shit. And he is. Yashiro comes in through the window and then sings this entire solo about how they were meant for each other, and that he’s gonna blow up the school during a pep rally that’s about to start, says he’s gonna count to three before he opens the closet that she’s hiding in, goes “1, 2, Fuck it!” Pops the door open, sees Ellie hanging there, says he can’t do this alone but hey, if he has to, he’ll do it. So then Ellie’s mom walks in and screams, Ellie’s like “WAIT NO IT’S A JOKE”, heads to the pep rally, sings this whole thing where she says no one deserves to die except her and Yashiro, runs into Kiria who’s like “wtf Yashiro told me you committed suicide” and then tells her about the fact that the boiler room is under the gym, so Ellie goes down there, makes this entire speech about how she wishes they could have met before he was like this, they fight over the gun, Ellie gets it, shoots him, goes like “oh wait fuck I can’t disarm this”, brings the bomb out to the field and waits for it to explode so she’s the only one who’ll die, Yashiro runs in, grabs the bomb, tells her to get out of the way because he’s too damaged but she can still save herself, she leaves, comes into the school, dismantles the school’s social hierarchy, and then invites me and her childhood friend to binge movies.

Itsuki: Once again, what the fuck?

Tsubasa: I mean, hey, you’re the one who said I was McNamara.

Itsuki: You could have just said no??

Tsubasa: Not as fun. But, either way, if I’m the Karen that makes you Regina so that’s definitely wrong because-

Itsuki: I’ve seen Mean Girls, calm down-

Dead Girl Walking

Pairing: Sebastian Stan x Actress! Reader (Teather AU)

Summary: The reader is the sobstitute in a off-Broadway production for the Musical Heathers. The female lead can’t do the show, so she gets called in her place where she’ll met the male lead, a charming blue eyed man.

Warnings: musicals, cursing, mentions of smut, mentions of drugs, making out, Seb’s a little minx, other people from the Marvel cast are in here.

Word Count: 5007 (long AF)

A/n: Okay so the idea obviously came to me when I was listening to the song Dead girl walking from the off-bway musical Heathers. It’s my favorite song from the musical and where I find it really enjoyable and funny to listen to, it made me wonder how two actors would be dealing with the performace which is A LOT. I recommend you to see this video if you want to understand better how the dynamic works and to listen to the song.

The songs mentioned in order are Beautiful, Candy Store, Freeze Your Brain, Big Fun, Dead Girl Walking and Seventeen (reprise)

ps: Yes, that’s an actual gif from the show

(gif not mine)

It was a normal day, calm, average. You woke up, read a few times a script for a new audition, went out for lunch with your best friend, came home and started to read some pages of your last purchase, Stephen King’s Gerald’s game.

Now you were chilling on your sofa, with your cat sleeping near your feet, when suddenly the cellphone rang, scaring the shit out of you.

You jumped a little scaring off your pet which ran away. You sighed and streched to reach your phone on glass coffe table in front of you. The number was unknown, but you answer anyway.

-Hello?-

-Y/n? Thank God, that’s the right number.- You recognized the voice of the director of the theatrical show you auditioned for, Heathers. Unfortunately you didn’t get the part, but you were called back to be a reserve for the main role.

-Theresa? Is everything all right?- you asked, sitting straight and putting your legs down the sofa, two of your fingers used as bookmark.

-Yeah it’s just, you got anything planned tonight? Or, well, right now?- the woman asked a little nervous. You could hear noise in the background.

-No, no. Absolutley nothing, uhm, why?- you basically jumped up.

-Perfect. Then we’ll wait for you at the theatre in like, ten minutes, yeah? See you.- Before you could ask anything else, she hang up.

-Fuck.- you cursed loudly, literally throwing the book on the table and running to your bedroom. How the hell were you supposed to be ready and get there in ten minutes, when you were in your pajamas, had messy hair and didn’t have a bit of make up on?

You think quickly and take from the wardrobe a military green dress and a pair of heel boots. Comfortable and quick, but still presentable. Then you rushed to the bathroom, brushed your theeth and your hair to make them look at least deacent. You decided to stuff into your bag you mascara and a dusty pink nude lipstick and you went to your car. You had already put on the musical’s playlist, listening to it while you drove there, just in case.

You arrived some minutes later, parked the car in a miracolously free spot and went inside. You entered the stage room and saw that the cast was rehearsing the song “big fun”. Theresa, which was at her director spot under the stage, turned around and when she saw you she motioned for you to come closer. You did, while the others continued to perform.

-I’m sorry, I’m a little late.- you apologized keeping your voice low. She shook her head.

-Don’t worry, our JD hasn’t arrived either.- she said with an hint of irritation, referring to the leading male part. She sighed recomposing herself.

-You can already imagine why I’ve called you, but still. Our actress for Veronica just broke her ankle, so she won’t be able to perform for a while. Are you still available? Tell me right away because you either would have to jump right on the stage and reharse all day until tonight or I’ll have to call reserve number three, which to be honest I wouldn’t be really thrilled to do.- she askedlike someone who definetly didn’t have time to lose.

You were in seventh heaven. You wanted that part so bad. You didn’t have a long resumee yet, and a show so popular like Heathers would’ve opened many doors to you as well as helping to make yourself know to the public. For a moment you didn’t even realized what she had just said. She gave you a side eye and you suddenly came back to your senses.

-Yes!- you said a little too loud, gaining a few eyes from the crew in the pit, but not from the cast on stage who were still singing. You calmed down a bit, before widening your eyes.

-Wait, you said tonight?- Theresa checked her phone while answering with a ‘yes’. You felt stupid for forgetting that.

-Tonight’s the premiere, honey. C'mon now, get on the stage, you have to rehearse and meet the cast.- you did as you were told, going up the stage. The guys were dressed with their own clothes and a man was on the piano. They were just singing and not doing the whole thing, which worried you a little, despite the fact that you knew all the choreographies and lyrics thanks to the rehearsals you did with the ‘backup’ cast. So you didn’t knew anyone from the actual one.

-Guys, we have our Veronica.- you head a few ‘thanks God’ and sighs of relief.

-Five minutes break then we resume.- she clasped her hands going off the stage to make a call. A little group of people came to you. There were two blonde, fair skinned girls and one with dark curly hair and dark skin.

-Hey, I’m Scarlett, I play Heather Chandler. Those are Elizabeth and Tessa, and they play Heather McNamara and Heather Duke. Nice to meet you..?- she efficiently introduced herself and the other two girls with enthusiasm. You smiled at them, waving slightly.

-Y/n. And well, you already know I’ll be Veronica Sawyer.- you chuckle a little and they smiled. Then two guys joined you introducing themselves as Chris and Anthony, which respectively play Kurt and Ram, the two stereotypical frat boy douchebags. But they were all but that, instead they were both quite attractive and funny, and nice above all.

Then Hayley, a nice british girl, introduced herself too and said she was going to play Martha. You honestly could’ve never pictured her as a stereotyped loser with a few extra punds like the character. She was too pretty and definetly not fat. She had curves and she was stunning. But you knew that the voice was the main requirement to be choosed in this type of castings so you imagined that that was the reason they choosed her. Also, the make up would’ve done the rest.

The director interrupeted your conversation saying that it was time to resume the reharsals, so you all got in position, this time adding the dancing to the singing.

You started with the song “beautiful”, then the Heathers trio sang “candy store” and so on, until you got to your personal favorite, “Dead girl walking”. It had gone all pretty smoothly, the director intervening a few times to give advices and correct something.

-Okay y/n, you’re on your own now, I’ll sing for JD. Start at the note.- the piano man said and you nodded, clearing your throat slightly to prepare yourself. He started to play and on the right timing you began to sing, standing next to him since your partner wasn’t there to perform and doing it on your own would’ve been kinda awkward.

You performed beautifully and at the end the crew even clapped. You knew that was one of the hardest songs, so you felt a pinch of pride at their reaction.You blushed a smiled grateful.

-I see you found my new partner in crime.- you heard a deep, amused, voice coming from behind you. You and the rest of the cast turned around. A guy was standing on the door jamb with a smirk. He was tall, had brown hair, a little long just under his ears, and they were pulled back. He was probably the most attractive guy you’ve ever seen.

-What an honor for you to join us mortals. And you guessed right, Sebastian. Y/n will be your Veronica. Probably for the rest of the plays.- Theresa said shocking you. Your head snapped towards her which was looking at you with a grin. You smiled widely, a hand covering your mouth from the surprise.

-What about the other girl?- you asked walking to her. She shrugged.

-We don’t know when she will be able to walk and dance again, plus, your talent is pretty much the same. Only you’re nicer.- she confessed, you shook your head a bit in disbelief and gave her a hug.

-Thankyou, that’s an honor.- you thanked her sincerely. She nodded and tilted her head to the side.

-Don’t thank me, thank your preparation. Now go meet your partner. He’s a bit presumptuos, but he’s good deep inside.-

You left her with the some other cast member and got closer to the group that surrounded Sebastian. Chris saw you coming and smiled.

-Hey y/n, congrats. We’re happy you’re going to stay with us.- you laugh a bit.

-Thankyou Chris, I still don’t realize it.-

-Aw c’mon, you deserve it. In any case, we’ll leave you talk, from Veronica to JD.- Tessa held your arm for a second before going away with the rest of the people.

At that point you were left alone with Sebastian. You felt a bit intimidated for some reason. You didn’t know if was for his confident behaviour or the amused look that he was giving you.

-Well, hello there.- he clearly checked you out, keeping his smirk. You understood that he didn’t mean to make you uncomfortable, it was just his way to be friendly.

-Hi.- you said a bit embarassed.

-I would say congratulations, but it would be probably the tenth time, so I’ll just settle with nice to meet you.- he offered his hand and you shook it a few times, a lopsided smile on your lips.

-Likewise.- he didn’t take his eyes off of you. Before you could talk again, one of the producers spoke to everyone.

-All right folks, it’s time to get ready. The people will arrive in two hours and the stage must be prepared. To the changing rooms.- Your eyes widened and your heart started to race.

-Hey now, don’t panic. You were amazing earlier. Just take a deep breath. It’s time to get ready. It’s going to be alright.- he spoke in a reassuring tone that made you automathically smile a little. He started to walk away, then turned back for a split second.

-Well, actually maybe a few drops of alchol would help, just in case.- you laughed and he winked at you.

You shared the room with the four girls. It was a bit chaotic, but everyone did their thing professionally and without losing time. After a good forty-five minutes of make up, which was included: foundation, mascara, eyeliner, blush, and a pale cherry lipstick. The red lipstick was actually a tint, because you would have to kiss a lot and certainly there wouldn’t have been time to clean the mess and re-apply it over and over.

The rest of the time was left for the hair to get done. First they tied up your hair with a few bobby pins, then applied a bald cap fixing it, and last but not least, they slipped on a raven black, shoulder lenght wig on your head. The hairstylist started to curl the black locks in loose curls at the tips. In the mean time the make up artist gave the last touches to the make up and then applied the tiny mic at the top of your forehead. applying some foundation to try to blend it better with your skin tone.

During all the process you talked and had fun with the girls. You found out that Scarlett was dating Chris, that Tessa was excited because her new girlfriend would’ve been here to see her perform, that Hayley was originally from London but came to New York because her dream was to be on Broadway and that Lizzie was from a family of actors but that she was the only one who sang.

When the hairstylist had finished curling and styling the wig, she applied a blue hairband with a very simple knot on the right side.

Lastly, it was time to get dressed. You thanked God when you finally stood up from the make up chair, you couldn’t take to be seated anymore. The costume designer took yout plastic covered costume from the trolley hanger and uncovered it.

-Tak off the robe, please.- the lady asked you nicely.

-Sure.- you responded right away taking it off. She passed to you a blue lacy bra and you rose an eyebrow. She shrugged.

-You know, that scene.- she responded, and you understood right away. She covered you with a jacket and you took off your current bra putting on the blue one. It was a bit tight, but it wasn’t uncomfortable thankfully. Then she helped you put on the rest of the costume which consisted in a plain white shirt, an electric blue elegant jacket, a light grey pleated mini skirt which barely arrived at your mid-thigh, a pair of white parisian stockings that reached just above your knees, and last but not least a pair of black heels. Not too high, thankfully.

You heard a whistle and turned your head. The girls were all ready except for Hayley which was still getting her, probably fifth, layer of clothes fixed. Scarlett wore red, Tessa green and Lizzie yellow, as their characters. They looked stunning.

-Look who’s gonna kick all asses tonight.- Tessa said. You all laughed. The costume designer helped you fit into a loose wool pullover with some ygly designs on it, then a scarf and an equally loose pair of brown sweatpants above your current costume. You started to feel a bit hot, but your told yourself that it was just for a few minutes of the first song.

-You don’t look bad yourself.- you talked back. Then there was a knock on the door.

-Girls, it’s time. Y/n on stage in ten.- a member of the crew opened the door and then quickly went away.

You breathed in and out to calm yourself down while you and the girls went to the backstage.

-So, all here? Good, good. So, just a few words.- Theresa spoke and you felt a hand on the small of your back. You tought that it was one of the girls, but you couldn’t be more wrong. You looked at your side, and got face to face with an incredibly sharp jawline. You turned back to look at Theresa, not wanting to embarass yourself, even if Sebastian’s touch was making you freak out a little.

-We worked very hard to get at this point. So behave and don’t screw up, kids. Love you all! And break a leg!-

A few seconds later you and the cast got called for the first song, 'beautiful’.

-See you later.- a shiver ran down your spine when he whispered in your ear. You looked at him. He had his hair back, just like before. He was now wearing combat boots, black jeans, a black t-shirt and a black long coat. And a smirk was painted on his face. The perfect Jason Dean.

You hated yourself for letting him have this effect on you, so you got your shit together and smiled seductively, gazing him straight in the eyes.

-Later, bad boy.- you teased referring to his role. had just a flash of his amused expression before walking away. You got on stage and began to sing.

- September 1st 1989. Dear diary…- at first you were alone on stage, then some extras joined you, then Ram got introduced.

Anthony wore a pair of blue jeans, a white t-shirt, nikies and a red and white bomber jacket with a big W on the left side. He hit the prop lunch tray you were holding with a fakely innocent ‘oops’.

-Ram Sweeney, third year as linebacker. And 8th year of smacking lunch trays and being a huge dick.- you talked to the audience as planned with an annoyed tone.

-What did you say to me, skank?- he got closer, menacing. You jumped a bit and put on a scared face.

-Aagh! Nothing.- you responded quickly. You sang a few words of the chorus and then Hayley got on stage. She was almost make up-less and with some baggy and pastel colour clothes, glasses and and ugly liliac t-shirt with an unicorn at the front which could’ve easily made anyone at least two sizes bigger. She was almost unrecognizable.

-Martha Dunstock. My best friend since diapers.- you talked again to the audience, then to Hayley.

-We on for movie night?- she replaced her british accent with the american one and pitched her voice a bit.

-Yeah! You’re on Jiffy Pop detail.-

-I rented the princess bride.- she responded timidly. You laughed slightly raising your eyebrows.

-Ooh! Again? Wait, don’t you have it memorized by now?- you cross your arms against your chest, listening.

-What can I say, I’m a sucker for a happy ending.- she answered sadly. Then Chris came running from the right part of the backstage, and smacked Hayley’s prop lunch tray just like Anthony, and like him he was dressed with the same pants, shoes and bomber jacket except for his shirt that was grey.

-Martha Dumptruck! Wide load, aah!- he screamed mockingly.

- Kurt Kelly, quarterback. He is the smartest guy on the football team, which is kind of like being the tallest dwarf.- you addressed the audience again, gaining a chuckle. Then you returned to spoke to Chris.

-Hey! Pick that up! Right now.- you ordered loudly.

-I’m sorry, are you actually talking to me?- lucky enough that you knew that he wasn’t a real douche, because at this point you would’ve already slapped him. You noted to make Chris compliments later.

-Yes, I am. I want to know what gives you the right to pick on my friend. You’re a high school has-been waiting to happen, a future gas station attendant.- you said with the most insulting tone you could master. He furruwed his brows and narrowed his eyes a bit, looking down at you.

-You have a zit right there.- he states. All the extras laugh out loud and you all resume to sing.

Then after a brief instrumental pause everyone but you start to chant softly the name ‘Heather’. Scarlett, Tessa and Lizzie walk slowly on stage, almost in slow motion.

-And then there’s the Heathers. They float above it all.- you start to talk to the public as a narrator while you introduce them one by one.

-Heather McNamara, head cheerleader. Her dad is loaded, he sells engagement rings.- the spotlight is on Lizzie, then it shifts to Tessa.

-Heather Duke, runs the yearbook. No discernable personality, but her mom did pay for implants.- you continue, then do a shot pause and the light shifts on Scarlett, which was in the middle. Their costumes were basically the same: very short mini skirt, a white shirt underneath an elegant short jacket, parisian white stockings that reached above the knee and black high heels. The only differecies were the colours, yellow, green and lastly red.

-And Heather Chandler, the almighty. She is a mythic bitch.- the music gets a bit faster while you keep going. Another piece of song goes on and you get introduced to the Heathers, you ask them to sit at their table so that no one could pick on you and in the end they accept and decide to transform you. So while another chourus goes on, you four get behind the scenes and the costume designer is quickly at your side, helping you to take off the scar, pants, pullover and to put on the heels, fix any eventual crease and in the end she brushed a bit the wig while you put on a rosy lipstick. Just in time, you go back on stage after Scarlett, Tessa and Lizzie.

The song ends and there’s a little banter between you and them which want Veronica to give Martha a fake love letter form Ram to bully her. You refuse and they get angry, which leads to their song.

After another song, finally is JD’s turn to be introduced. He and Veronica meet in a gorcery shop and you start to eat some red licorice while he was drinking a frozen slushie. He looked charming. You were also having a lot of fun, which was ideal for your chemistry. A few lines later he began to sing.

-I’ve been through ten high schools, they start to get blurry. No point in planting roots ‘cause you’re gone in a hurry. My dad keeps two suitcases packed in the den, so it’s only a matter of when.- he begins, and boy, was he talented. You smiled at him, not only because you felt like it, but also because it was in the script.

-Freeze your brain, suck on that straw get lost in the pain. Happiness comes when everything numbs, who needs cocaine?- he sang a few words, then came back to talking.

-Care for a hit?- he raised the plastic glass, pointing the straw towards you.

-Does your mommy know you eat all that crap?- you smirked teasingly. He tilted his head to the side, raising his eyebrows.

-Not anymore.- he resumed singing along with the music. -When mom was alive, we lived half way normal, now it’s just me and my dad, we’re less formal. I’ve learned to cook pasta, learned to pay rent, learned the world doesn’t owe you a cent.- the note got a bit high and his voice changed in a more teasing tone.

-You’re planning your future, Veronica Sawyer. You’ll go to some college and marry a lawyer. But the sky’s gonna hurt when it falls, so you better start building some walls.- he sings the chorus towards the audience, then the song ends, and on the last note he snaps his head towards you, his arm stretched offering you the slushie.

-Try it.- the public applaudes and the lights go off, giving you the time to prepare for the next song. It’s a very crowded and messy song, set in a house party. At some point you refuse to obey Scarlett’s Heather Chandler and she says that you’re over. You go away from the party feeling lost. The song ends and the lights go off to give the time to the everyone in the cast to get away.

You were slightly getting more and more nervous for the next song, which woul’ve been a lot more challenging, both to sing and perform, considering that you had to basically ride Sebastian in front of the audience.

You were left alone on stage, if you didn’t consider Sebastian pretending to sleep on the higher stage behind you on a mattress.

-The demon queen of high school has decreed it. She says Monday, 8 am I will be deleted.- you start, the music fastening a little. -They’ll hunt me down in study hall Stuff and mount me on the wall. Thirty hours to live, how shall I spend them?- You walked near the lockers, your voice dripping worry.

-I don’t have to stay and die like cattle,I could change my name and ride up to Seattle. But I don’t own a motorbike.- you stopped suddenly, a lopsided smile sppearing on your face -Wait.- you looked at the audience.

-Here’s an option that I like. Spend these thirty hours getting freaky!- you hit the fist high note, pointing at Sebastian’s, fake, sleeping figure.

-Yeah! I need it hard, I’m a dead girl walking! I’m in your yard, I’m a dead girl walking! Before they punch my clock, I’m snapping off your window lock. Got no time to knock! I’m a dead girl walking..- the line getting softer.

You went up the stairs to the upper stage and walked towards him. He opened his eyes and sit up, straddled.

-Veronica! What’re you doing in my room?- he exclaims confused. You went closer and he got on his feet. Now he didn’t have shoes, had a pair of white boxers and a white tank top.

-Shh...- you put a finger in front of your mouth, shushing him seductively. -Sorry but I really had to wake you. See, I decided I must ride you 'til I break you ,'cause Heather says I got to go. You’re my last meal on death row, so shut your mouth and lose them tighty whiteys!- you start with a sweet tone that goes higher and stronger ‘til you hit the last note. You pointed at his boxers.

-Come on! Tonight I’m yours, I’m your dead girl walking! Get on all fours! Kiss this dead girl walking!- You pushed his shoulders with your hands until he got on his knees in front of you. The public laughed slightly.

He looked up at you, starting to caress your tighs with his surprisingly soft hands. They were going up and up, until he reached your ass cheeks. He wasn’t taking his gaze away from yours.

-Let’s go, you know the drillI. I’m hot, and pissed, and on the pill.- you snapped your head towards the audience, raising an eyebrow, gaining a chuckle. Then you returned your attention to Sebastian. -Bow down to the will-Of a dead girl walking!-

You both got on all fours and you gave him a little push to make him sit back, and crawled between his legs.

-And you know, you know, you know. It’s 'cause you’re beautiful, you say you’re numb inside, but I can’t agree.- You changed tone and got sweet, placing a hand on his heart. -So the world’s unfair? Keep it locked out there! In here it’s beautiful, let’s make this beautiful!-

He looked at you and smiled, then exclaimed -That works for me!-

An instrumental moment began, and you both knew what would’ve come next. So you just did it, without thinking too much. He cupped your cheeks and forcefully pulled you to him, kissing you. You responded right away, trying to think straight and follow the script you started to take off your jacket and then his t-shirt, leaving him in his underwear. If your faces weren’t stuck together you woul’ve probably been jaw dropping at his tanned and muscular figure, but there wasn’t time for that. You pulled away and started to sing again.

-Yeah! Full steam ahead,take this dead girl walking!-

-How’d you find my address?- he asked scared. The public laughed.

-Let’s break the bed! Rock this dead girl walking!- you ignored him.

-I think you tore my mattress!- again, the crowd laughed.

-No sleep tonight for you, Better chug that Mountain Dew! Get your ass in gear, make this whole town disappear!- you motioned a ripping movement with your arms and hands.

-Okay, okay!- he gave up, still scared.

You got on his lap, your legs on each side of his hips. The only thing that separated your intimate parts were your panties and his boxers, but it wansn’t actually enough.

-Slap me, pull my hair, touch me there, and there , and there and no more talking! Love this dead girl walking!- you hit another high note. This moment should’ve been arranged between you two before, like every performer ever does when he had to play scenes like that, but you had to improvise now.

It all happened rather quickly: He gave you a not-so-light spank on the butt, then put his hand in your hair and gently pulled to expose your neck, to the first 'there’ he cupped your breasts, then your ass and at the last one he tore open your shirt, that thankfully had clasp buttons and not normal ones.

In the end your lace covered breasts were exposed to him. You didn’t even had the time to blush, 'cause you started to ride his lap automatically following the script. He helped your movement with his hands on your hips.

-Love this dead girl walking!- you sang.

-Yeah!- you said together. -Yeah!- thrust -Yeah!- again.

-Ow!- he cried when you grazed on his neck with your teeth as you were planned to do, and then one last harsh thrust.

-Yeah!- you hit the highest note and the song ended. The audience cheered as the lights went down. You and him wnr behind the scenes while the crew collected the clothes and came back to the backstage, you didn’t dare to look at him as you both were getting dressed again with the help of the assistants.

The rest of the show went perfectly, even if you had a little bit of trouble looking in Sebastian’s eyes after that song. After the ’Seventeen’ reprise the show ended. You all came back on stage for the salute, and after that you went straight to the dressing room to change.

Scarlett was kind enought to let you borrow one of the two dresses she brought from home for the after party. You choose the first, which was mid-tigh, rose gold and sparkly, and had a collar to which the spaghetti straps were attached, leaving the back bare til the lower part. And abviously high heels. You fixed your make up and put on a quite deep shade of pink on the lips, then you were ready.

The girls continued to tease you about Sebastian. They haven’t seen the performance really well, but they did see the faces of you both when you came back to dress up. And that was enough. You shushed them while finishing to fix your now wig-free hair.

You arrived and many poeple made theri congratulations and compliments on your performance. Then you went outside to take a bit of air, your champagne in your hands.

-Hey. Nice play up there.- you had learned to recognize that voice by now. You turned around. He was wearing a suit, the first few buttons of his white shirt unbuttoned.

-You weren’t that bad yourself.- you smiled briefly. He inched closer and whispered to your ear.

-Y'know it was a miracle that I didn’t get hard on the last bit. Your pussy grinding against my cock like your life depended on it.- you blushed from head to toe. You felt fire on your cheeks and not only there, if you’d had to be honest.

-And I know you did enjoy that too. The little wet spot on my boxers is proof. Am I wrong, babygirl?- he asked, his voice like velvet. You were a bit taken aback, but finally decided to do something. Fuck it.

-No.- you answered. The courage, didn’t even know where that came from. All that you knew, was that in that exact moment his lips were on yours, his hands on your waist and yours on his chest, leaving the glass to fall to the ground.

Someone must’ve heard that, 'cause Chris went outside to check and found the two of you quite occupied. He smirked and closed the door, going to Anthony to retrieve those twenty dollars they bet on you two.

This was a bit of an experiment. I really like Broadway songs and this looked like fun to write, so I did it. Obviously the musical’s plot, characters and lyrics do NOT belong to me in this case. Hope you liked it ;)
