hi im bored and have decide to curse you all with a really stupid falsettos/heathers crack theory i came up with one day.
i did research for this, i have a powerpoint made and on stand by and im proud of it if solely for the fact the my friend hates me for bringing it into existence
the claim- jason and j.d. from heathers are the same person
im gonna break this down through how jason eventually loses each parental figure
1. Whizzer dies which kicks everything off. Yay! :‘)
2. Mendel, being less careful in hiding his awful, and sometimes illegal therapist practices, for example, overcharging at $80 an hour when the average is about $20-$50 a session, breaking patient confidentiality, etc. He gets caught, loses his license, which puts strain on Mendel and Trina’s marriage and they get divorced, causing Mendel and Jason to lose contact.
3. Marvin more extremely isolated after Whizzer’s funeral and practically closes off contact with Charlotte and Cordelia, though the weren’t in as much contact anyways seeing as they both threw themselves into work to distract themselves from grief. Whenever Jason goes over they’re alright but distant, each trip getting shorter and shorter until he eventually stops visiting.
4. Because of his despair, Marvin starts to slack at work, ends up losing his job, and develops a drinking problem (mostly with Bud Light, a new drink that came out in 1982, to the point where Bud becomes his nickname, which is the name of JD’s dad :) ). He ends up creating his own demolition company out of necessity and it becomes very successful, causing him to have to travel a lot.
5. Trina (who was canonly suicidal before everything else went to shit) ends up killing herself by walking into one of Marvin’s to-be-demolished buildings. This leaves Marvin, who’s still emotionally distant as Jason’s only guardian.
After constantly moving around, they end up in Sherwood, Ohio where Jason takes on the nickname J.D. and meets Veronica, and the plot of Heathers ensues.
