Since it’s graduation time again, here’s another cute piece with JD having made it though school without needing to move. Also giving Roland more to do since I haven’t done much with him yet.

It won’t be Boris Johnson, but whoever the new prime minister turns out to be, they will have been dragged into office by “economic orthodoxy” and its henchmen. Their mandate is pre-written in the data you have been deluged with about the impact of unfunded tax cuts, from the depreciation of the pound to rises in interest rates, and the untenable upward effect this has had on mortgages and rents. The charts have spoken – an ideological experiment has gone terribly wrong and must be reversed.

But it is a tale of two crises, and only one is being told. Attracting far less fanfare is another set of statistics about cold and hunger. More than a million people are expected to be pushed into poverty this winter. Their slide into deprivation will test an informal support network already stretched to its limit. Last week, the food bank charity the Trussell Trust launched an emergency appeal for donations because need for food banks has now outstripped donations. Charities like this, private citizens and schools are mobilising to bridge the gap.

The hole is too large to plug. Half of all primary schools in England are trying to feed children in poverty who are ineligible for free school meals because their parents’ income does not meet the threshold. But there are 800,000 of them. It can be hard sometimes to grasp the scale of the problem through bare statistics, but vivid and haunting details can flesh them out. Children are eating school rubbers to line their stomachs and dull the ache and nausea of hunger. Others are bringing in empty lunchboxes then pretending to dine on their phantom food away from classmates, too ashamed to reveal that they have nothing to eat.

If these children’s families can’t afford to eat, they definitely can’t afford to keep warm as winter approaches and energy prices rocket. How can children expect to learn with their minds impaired by hunger and cold? Over the past year, reading ability among seven-year-olds from poor families fell at double the rate of those from affluent families, their future prospects receding before they have even begun.

But my goodness, the scenes in Westminster! Kwasi Kwarteng sacked on a plane, Suella Braverman gone for a data breach, reported manhandling, jostling and shouting outside the voting lobby. And if that wasn’t already enough to drown out the rumble of tummies and chattering of teeth, Liz Truss threw in the towel, kicking off another attention-sucking vortex of new leadership speculation and horse-trading.

“I worry,” Naomi Duncan, chief executive of Chefs in Schools, told me, two hours after Truss resigned, “that the ongoing political turmoil will divert attention.” The solution for her is simple: to give one meal a day to all children based on need, not an income calculation that has long since ceased to be relevant.

It does sound simple, doesn’t it? But the sort of government that tackles poverty, hunger and cold is not the government anyone who matters is clamouring for. As the emergency intensifies, politicians and opinion makers are calling not for a firefighter to treat this as the crisis it truly is, but for a “grownup” to make those economic charts read better.

“The grownups are back,” declared Liam Fox, after Jeremy Hunt and Penny Mordaunt’s performance at the dispatch box last week. “If Truss cannot quickly sort herself out,” the Sun (of all papers) told us, ‘“the grownups need to get in a room” and “agree a peaceful transition to a sensible figure”. This trope exemplifies the detachment of both Westminster and Westminster watchers. As the country enters into the winter crisis proper, those at the top are looking for a leader with unspecified technocratic skills who, like a contracted management consultant, will be able to “stabilise” UK plc. It’s not the mouths of children that need feeding, but the markets.

If this new leader must have an ideology, it should be one that aligns with the aim of “fiscal responsibility”, itself a byword for reduced state spending. They must “look like a leader”, and enact whatever callous cuts they have to, preferably while exhibiting suitable regret at having to make “difficult decisions”. The result of this settlement is a chilling absence of politicians able to articulate the exceptional pain the public is going through. Also absent are any policies that would tackle the cost of living and energy emergency through higher taxes on the wealthy, or an economic stabilisation agenda that addresses the goals not only of those who want to prosper, but those who need to survive.

Even among a fuming opposition there is a sort of bloodless anger. “The damage to mortgages and bills has been done,” tweeted Keir Starmer as if the economic impact is being felt by pieces of paper rather than people. It seems everyone has understood that injecting feeling and channelling the fear and deprivation that stalks people every day disqualifies you from being taken seriously as a politician. The “adult” approach seems to be keeping the markets happy and achieving abstract “growth”, rather than also prioritising the security of those so on the margins they cannot benefit from that growth; those who will suffer most when the next round of soberly dictated cuts arrive.

To include in your economic vision the importance of benefits, subsidies or improvements to public services to the wellbeing of those not able to fully participate in the housing or job market is somehow outside the parameters of acceptable politics.

But it is staying in that lane of acceptable politics that has resulted in our political and social crises. The delusion is that if we try just one more time with someone like Rishi Sunak, a man who flat out complained of funding being “shoved into deprived areas”, the right or right of centre will crack it. Despite the fact that this is the tribe which over the past two decades pursued the deregulation agenda of big businesses, allowed working conditions and wages to be run into the ground, slashed benefits, and failed to invest any money saved from painful cuts into, to take just one example, any future-proofing green energy that would have mitigated this winter crisis.

I wonder, even with attention constantly yanked back to the Westminster spectacle, just how many more chances the grownups can get away with when every day another adult or child starts to go without food, or another family bundle themselves up at night instead of putting the heating on. Just how much longer can people put up with a consensus that placates the financial system with an “acceptable” number of losers? Grownup politics is literally that: disregarding those who do not “matter”, considering the economically marginalised simply as collateral damage, excluding their passions from the cool halls of power and cultivating resignation to ever more suffering. But with their numbers rising and their pain intensifying, that may be about to become an impossible task.

JD growls as he lays on his sleeping bag, as Casey walks in to check on him.

Casey: You ok, dear?

JD: It’s April 1st isn’t it?

Casey: Not a big fan of April Fools, are ya? -kneels down to his level- Don’t worry, most we have planned today is that Easter Egg hunt for Liam since it rained on Easter.

JD: How nice. -weakly smiles, as he’s still thinking about something-

Casey: -caresses his forehead- Are you sure you’re ok?

JD: -resists purring like a cat because he likes his head petted- No… Dad tried to trick me into thinking Mom was still alive on April Fools a few days after she ate it.

Casey: …He what.

JD: Oh yeah, I fell for it. I was so excited, then he called me a sucker and said April Fools. I cried for a week.

-Casey gets up and starts to leave the room.-

JD: Where are you going, Mizz Braverman?

Casey: To dig up your father so I can break his fucking neck.

[blueikeproductions]

A little Thanksgiving adjacent thing in the Heathers AU. Jason experiencing what it’s like to visit extended family for the first time. Frank and Cool are from the 80’s Parenthood movie, and are Braverman and Duke’s maternal grandfather and cousin. Frank likes Casey and Shannen, but he’s always been iffy on the kids, finding Braverman to be too much of a goody two shoes, and Duke to be a spoiled brat. The two are good with kids (Duke surprisingly so), so Frank tolerates them for Cool’s sake, who adores them. He views Dan, Liam and Jason as “strays” because they come from different fathers due to Casey’s history, and his old fashioned way of thinking. He doesn’t some to realize he’s being hypocritical since he took in his grandson Cool like Casey took in Jason though. Frank and Jason so wind up finding some common ground and get along better during the visit though.

By this point, Duke has mellowed out enough and she, Braverman and Jason have a dysfunctional but caring sibling relationship when the three are together, which is shocking to Veronica since all three started off hating each other (that is JD and Dan hated Duke and Duke hated them).

[blueikeproductions]

A friend was showing me some news about an upcoming Mean Girls movie musical and how the author of the original book Mean Girls is based on isn’t getting royalties for both musicals, and I was surprised to learn Mean Girls is based on a book. I originally thought the movie was its own thing, and that the Heathers guys said “Let’s just do Heathers again without JD!” I mean… I guess that happened anyway but still…

Now I’m wondering if there’s a lost book Heathers was based on. (There’s not, at least that I’m aware, but let’s have fun with this.)

-In the future, an adult Dan Braverman is with an adult Veronica Heron at the Sherwood McClure’s reading over her completed manuscript for her upcoming YA novel based on their high school days. Their kids, a preschool aged Vincent, Victoria and Skye and 1st grade aged Liam are with JD and Martha a table over eating their lunch so the two can concentrate-

Veronica: -excited but nervous- Well? Whaddya think?

Dan: -puts down the manuscript, grinning- Ronnie, I love it. It’s great. But if I had any notes… maybe change the title?

Veronica: -frowns, looking confused- What’s wrong with the title?

Dan: -holds up the manuscript and points at the title, written in the 1989 Heathers movie font- “My Life As A Swatchdog And Diet Cokehead” doesn’t exactly fly off the tongue.

Veronica: -sweat drops- Huh, yeah, it’s kinda wordy, isn’t it? JD said something similar…

JD: -off screen, next table over- Uh-huh! I toldja so, Veronica! -gets a French fry thrown in his face-

Doodle of @scrunchie-87 JD meeting my JD.

A continuation of sorts from this piece, https://www.tumblr.com/blueikeproductions/706273684420198400/a-heathers-crossover-where-my-version-of-jd-meets?source=share , where my JD meets missyasylum JD, OG JD and Elemental FA JD. The original thought at the time was the others being the ghosts of failed campaign JDs only Jason could see, similar to Veronica being haunted by Red Heather in the musical, but the added joke of Scrunchie JD talking to my Veronica instead suggests the other JDs are physically there… Perhaps Upside Down shenanigans because of my stuff also being a Stranger Things crossover.

Also cameo by Jamie Domenech, the Heathers OC of Morci whose animatics I’ve been watching lately. I love this dork and Jamie was sort of my personal go ahead to make Dan, Mrs. Braverman, Specs, Liam, Cheryl, Thrash, and Throttle for my own Heathers musings. I like to think this is simply this universe’s version of Jamie, and he’s part of Veronica’s friend group which consists of Martha, Betty, Dan, Specs, and later the Heathers, Kurt and Ram.

[blueikeproductions]

Since I see sexuality brought up a lot in Heathers I guess I feel obligated to mention what the gang in my AU are. I typically don’t focus on that in my own stuff, preferring to focus on shenanigans than dating (except for the rare occasion when the shenanigan IS dating), and I’m not huge or fully up and up on labels either so forgive me if I might confuse a couple.

JD: Straight with some asexual tendencies. A running gag is everyone, even the teachers, thinks JD is dating Dan, but the two shoot it down, especially when JD gets adopted into the Braverman clan as Dan’s brother. Any affection towards Dan is purely platonic and later familial, although JD does struggle with the concept of love in general, especially because of his empty, loveless upbringing since his mother Jocelyn died. JD meanwhile IS sexually attracted to Veronica, but because this is a new feeling for him, he struggles in showing his feelings well, as Dan can attest. Doesn’t care about one’s sexuality, only their character, but is extremely confused by the various labels and definitions. Later on, when he learns his little brother Liam is gay, he and Dan gladly support their brother, with JD happily putting the fear of God in anyone who gives Liam a hard time about it: child or adult. Dan: Bisexual, but doesn’t display that side of himself often. He very clearly has types: plus sized girls, and hunky muscular guys. He especially likes big arms on both. Breaking conventions, the nerdy Dan alludes to having had sex before, with both girls and guys, but it’s very few and far between because he’s not actively seeking a hookup like Red Heather, Kurt or Ram would. He has big crushes on Martha and Kurt, and ultimately falls in love with and marries Martha after college. If a different path was taken, he may have gotten with Kurt instead. Veronica: Bisexual. Discovered in middle school she liked girls also during an awkward gym class encounter, but because of cultural stigma at the time, largely keeps it buried. Her type is definitely the Heathers (although she would prefer a partner who is nice rather than a jerk), and those in Veronica’s circle like Dan and Betty like to tease her for her clear puppy love of Red Heather. She likes tall, thin but toned guys, partly why she fell for JD in the first place, but also places importance on intelligence (JD is very well read and book smart despite demeanor and appearance after all).

Betty: Bi-curious. Seems to be particularly interested in Green Heather, but it’s never reciprocated.

Tracey: Aro/Ace. Has no real interest in dating and is content to go by the beat of her own drum. Values friendship and family, having a strong friendship with Dan, JD, Specs, Veronica, Martha and her little brother.

Martha: Straight. 100% into men, no question. Values kindness above all else, with cute, squarish faces as a second. Is surprisingly progressive and supports Kurt and Ram’s relationship when she eventually figures it out.

Kurt: 100% gay. Initially hides it, forcing himself on to girls, but it’s clear both parties aren’t really into it. Is very playful with someone he likes, and leans into open relationships. Secretly dating Ram, but has an interest in JD and Dan. Kurt and Dan do have a mutual attraction, and the two did once share a night together. When Kurt is drunk and with Dan, all the inhibitors are off, he’s very touchy feely with him, and likes to show off his chest and abs, making Ram mildly jealous. Had a three way with Ram and Dan at one point.

Ram: Bisexual, but has more of a preference towards guys. Secretly dating Kurt, but harbors romantic feelings for Martha but can’t fully bring himself to pull the trigger. Like Kurt he forces himself on girls to keep up appearances, but usually is thinking of Kurt when having sex. Once had a three way with Kurt and Dan. His parents kicked him out and cut him off when they discovered he was gay after high school, and so he moved in with the Kellys for a while. Maintains a healthy relationship with his sister Kara who stuck up for him when the family fell apart.

Gold Heather: Pansexual. Is happy to be with people who treat her well. Had a mutual attraction with Specs until his death. Her future children are from different fathers, and ultimately stayed with a doting, unnamed girlfriend she met with in college.

Specs: Straight. Had a mutual attraction with Gold Heather, but couldn’t be together because of Red Heather, both because of Red’s authority and because of Red’s murder of Specs.

Liam: Pansexual. A baby during the events of Heathers, but as a teen in the 2000s, Liam gets into a relationship a boy in his class in Westerberg Jr. High. He and Levi briefly became romantic rivals, vying for the boy’s attention. Liam and Levi are best friends otherwise, practically brothers (despite being cousins).

Throttle: Considers himself “heteroflexible” if the body is to his tastes, but mostly pursues women. It doesn’t really matter the gender, he dislikes everyone equally and is only really in it for the sex. Seemed to have a genuine interest in Cheryl Rodgers despite this.

Thrash: 100% straight. Homophobic. No fat chicks. Is thick enough to not realize Throttle, Kurt and Ram sleep around with guys, otherwise he’d obliterate them from orbit. In an on again off again relationship with Red Heather. Had the two survived, they likely would’ve gotten married, calmed waaaaaay down, and had four children.

Green Heather: Bisexual but very repressed and doesn’t fully realize that’s what she is. A bit flirty but her Starscream-ish, mean girl habits get in the way. Does seem to be into Red Heather and Veronica, but doesn’t understand these feelings. Doubly so when she discovers her son Levi is gay later on, but for his sake goes along with it despite heavy conflicting feelings. Might have a slight humiliation kink to explain why she put up with being Red Heather’s doormat, but doesn’t realize this. Her son Levi was born shortly after high school after a fling with a popular boy at Kurt and Ram’s graduation party. Never married, instead married to her job and her son’s well being. Stress ate a lot in college and became more plus sized as irony to her bulimic phase in high school. Surprisingly loves being large and in charge.

Cheryl Rodgers: 100% straight and had an unhealthy attraction to Thrash and Throttle, Throttle being her favorite of the two. Tragically a bit dim, and doesn’t realize when guys are taking advantage of her. Has a male harem kink and secretly wishes Kurt, Ram, Thrash, Throttle, JD, Jamie, and Dan would be with her.

Jamie: Straight. Has a crush on Veronica, but unlike in the Morci Heathers universe, never acted on it. Wound up dating and marrying Cheryl in this universe after Thrash and Throttle died, and the two have a very sweet and loving relationship similar to Dan and Martha’s.

Red Heather: Pansexual but repressed. A lot of internalized homophobia because of her father. Deep down, she does genuinely care for Veronica and is highly jealous of JD, but she enjoys being a mega bitch too much to change for the better. Under better circumstances she may have romantically become involved with Veronica, but whether they would’ve remained together is a big question mark due to their very complex relationship.

JD slowly shuffles downstairs to the kitchen a little later in the morning. He makes a wrong turn into the living room, and corrects himself, as he’s not completely used to the Braverman household yet, briefly still thinking he was in his old apartment. He toddles in to the kitchen seeing Dan get Liam in his high chair and then zip over to the microwave as JD tiredly sits down.

Dan: Morning, Jason~! (JD: -tiredly and a big tense- Greetings and salutations, Danny-boy.) I got breakfast ready for ya! -sets down the bowl of oatmeal before the former troubled youth.-

JD: -pokes at the oatmeal- I could have made us breakfast, y’know…!

Dan: -is over by the toaster and gets his strawberry Pop Tarts for himself and the baby food for Liam- Yesterday was a big day after all, and I figured you needed to sleep in after all the drama.

JD: -eyes Dan’s bandaged arm and slowly stares at his oatmeal, adding a bit of cinnamon to it- Slept in and still feel like shit, but I, uh, still appreciate it… Still, oatmeal, you remembered…!

Dan: -trying to feed Liam, but the baby is too interested in JD, and smacking his hands a bit on the table- Yeah, you said your mom used to make it for you. I thought it’d help ease you into things.

JD: -takes a bite, but finds something about it off, swishing around little round objects in his mouth- Hmm? -the objects melt and it suddenly tastes like candy- What the? -sticks his tongue out and wipes off the foreign object on to a napkin, finding a slightly dissolved dinosaur shaped candy looking back at him.-

JD: Danny-boy, what is this? -puts the candy back in his mouth, intrigued by the taste, and swishes around the mush in his bowl, finding candies eggs, some half melted, revealing more dinosaurs.-

Dan: -has a bit of baby mush on his face from Liam splashing some of it back at him, so he’s since given up and just started eating his now cold pop tarts- Oh, right. I know it’s a little silly, but I saw this new dinosaur themed oatmeal for kids when I was getting some things earlier this morning , and thought of you and got some for you~!

JD: Y-you got this for me? -looks at Dan’s bandaged arm again and blushes red, fighting back a bit of tears of happiness he’s kept largely repressed most of his life- I… don’t know what to say… -picks at the oatmeal sheepishly-

Dan: Heh, how about you finish it before it gets cold then? -wiping off the baby mush and tries feeding Liam again-

JD: … -eats with a little more gusto, lost in his thoughts. After nearly collapsing mentally yesterday, Dan and Veronica still came back for him and tried to help… Did JD deserve it? Probably not, he thinks, part of it lingering on how Bud didn’t really treat him as anything more than a pesky guest, as well as his role in the murders of Red Heather, Thrash, Throttle and Betty… But despite it all, Dan and Veronica were loyal, showing him another chance… A chance he didn’t want to squander whatsoever. A weak smile creeps on his face as he enjoys his breakfast with his best friend, relaxing a little at last.-

Heathers AU future careers weren’t really something I gave much thought to, but everyone is gainfully employed in a well paying job or just in a position where they’re well off and don’t need to worry about it (Mostly the remaining Heathers on the later, and the Sawyers chipping in to help their daughter’s family during financial downs early on).

JD is sort of the mystery because every other universe, he dies, so a future career isn’t really on his radar. Alleged commentary from Christian Slater suggests OG JD faked his death and is still running around to eventually reunite with Veronica years later and possibly conspire with her to murder a Heather like soccer mom clique…

I’ve been poking around Spy X Family and Buddy Daddies lately so I think we all know where this is going.

AU Jason Dean, post Heathers is now Jason “JD” Heron (Heron being his mom Jocelyn’s maiden name, which JD took in rejection of his father’s side), ultimately decides not to go to college, and works odd jobs around town to pay back the Bravermans’ kindness and later support Veronica when they marry. Veronica Heron is more of the breadwinner, working as a novelist, having written a particularly successful YA series very loosely “inspired” by her and her friends’ high school days.

After Vincent and Victoria are born, JD stumbles into a lucrative trade he excelled in… becoming a hit man. Turns out Sherwood and the surrounding areas have a very involved seedy underbelly, plenty of evil assholes for JD to exact vengeance upon.

JD True Lies his way around the gig to Veronica and Dan for awhile until he falls into a case that requires Veronica’s skills in forgery. Veronica and Dan had long since figured out what he was doing, and we’re waiting for him to confess to them, and reluctantly Veronica assists in JD’s current case. The case goes successfully, and soon Veronica starts assisting more often until the two become a hit man team cleansing Sherwood’s underbelly. Dan occasionally assists the two in cases (usually in a costumed “alter ego” out of mild self consciousness), but primarily focuses on babysitting Vincent and Victoria if JD and Veronica have a “weekend trip”. Martha is oblivious to what her best friend and husband get into, like in high school, and is just happy to have her nephew and niece come visit often.

Liam Braverman, Levi Duke and Felicia Kelly-Sweeny are the only kids to figure out what JD and Veronica actually DO for a living because they were visiting one day and found JD’s hit list and some suspicious forgeries he and Veronica absent mindedly left on the counter next to some bills. They try to… subtly ask Vincent and Victoria about it, but Vincent finds it silly his bibliophilic mom would kill people as she’s hard at work on her next book (which is true), while Victoria refuses to believe her old man would actually do anything that cool. The trio opt not to say anything to anyone else for the time being.

-Dead Girl Walking gag-

Veronica, climbing up a tree in what she thinks is JD’s back yard because she saw what looked like his motorbike: I need it hard, I’m a dead girl walkin’~

Veronica: -humming the song in a low whisper- Before they punch my clock, I’m breakin’ off your window lock~

-She gets up to the top window, and snaps off the window lock, and begins to open the window-

Veronica: Got no time t’talk, I’m a dead girl walkin’~! -opens the window, but the light clicks on to the connecting room-

-A slightly bemused pajamas wearing Dan is staring back at her, holding a confused Liam, who makes baby noises and makes grabby motions to Veronica-

-The lust drains out of Veronica and is replaced by embarrassment-

Dan: Whatcha doin’, Ronnie?

Veronica: Oh my goooood, Dan! I’m soooooo sorry! -buries her red face in her hands- I saw the motorbike out front and thought this was JD’s house…!

Dan: Nah that’s Ma’s. She’s got a bit of a wild streak. Used to be part of a biker gang before I was born. Apparently Ma and Jason have the same taste in motorcycles, ain’t that funny. -shifts the fidgety Liam in his arms-

Veronica: -still buried in her hands in embarrassment- -takes a deep breath- Oh god, I feel so stupid. -feels Liam tug at her hair- Ow! Way to rub it in… Wait, baby? You have a baby?! Dan: I’ve been in a couple rodeos, (Veronica: Wait, YOU have?!) but it’s not mine, this is my baby brother, Liam! He, let’s just say, squeaked through last year.

Veronica: Aawww. Why didn’t you tell me? He’s a cutie. -hair gets pulled again- Ok maybe not THAT cute. -blows a raspberry in Liam’s face who just giggles-

Dan: You were… really busy with Getalong Gang stuff at the time. I tried mentioning it to Gold Heather to pass it on to you, but I imagine ol’ Backdraft told her to shaddup.

Veronica: Now I’m embarrassed in a different way… But I got to meet him now, so that’s the important thing~ -boops Liam’s nose, who giggles-

Dan: Anyhoo, if you’re looking for JD, he’s down in Slater Apartments, West End Room 89. It’s actually a hop, skip and jump from here that away. -points right-

Veronica: Eh… -cradles herself a bit on the roof- Moment’s past…. Dan’s mom walks in: Daniel, honey, what’s going o-? …Veronica? What’re you doing on the roof, darlin’?

Veronica: H-hi, Miss Braverman…! Oh just making an ass out of myself apparently, I’ll just be going now. -shuffles awkwardly and tries to start climbing down-

Dan’s mom: Hold on, Veronica. You already made the the climb up here, darlin’, you wanna come inside? You look like you need a pick me up; I got a mean hot chocolate recipe that’ll make your head spin~!

Veronica: -lingers on it- …Ok, sure! -Dan helps her in- What a way for me to come visit, huh…?
