i am loving that take, and i think i may have phrased things poorly when i say that heather chandler didn't have those depths. i think there's definitely some veracity to veronica's idea that she detested her position of popularity and her existence as a two-dimensional figurehead as opposed to a real human being, i was moreso referring to the over-the-top paragon of goodness that they paint her as in TMIOM being a lie.

i see a lot of fan works sanitizing heather chandler so much that she feels almost unrecognisable. we're talking about a character who is first described to the audience as a 'mythic bitch' and people are afraid to make her mean?

she's so much more interesting when you take into account that cruelty. yes, heather chandler is a victim just as everybody else in the cast is, but that does NOT make her exempt from being a bad person. i think the musical downplays the abuse she subjects duke to by making duke comically unlikeable to the point where it feels deserved?

yes, she has redeeming traits. yes, the movie explicitly displays her being victimized (and being coerced into non-consensual sexual activity!). yes, she is intentionally deified after her death as a point of irony because the real heather chandler did not possess the depths that her fictionalised self did.

it's like saying that kurt & ram are secretly gay lovers. you completely miss the point of veronica & jd's forgery and it underplays everything their storyline is meant to point out about homophobia and toxic masculinity.

i appreciate that some people aren't willing to/aren't comfortable with acknowledging some of the darker parts of heathers as a story but the flanderization this fanbase performs sometimes is ridiculous.
