Oh right, this is reminding me—we’ve been listening to Heathers West End a bit to see how different it was from Broadway, and while we *do* have a favorite, WE really isn’t as bad as we’ve heard some people say it was?

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.
