“Still Here Breathing”: Preview and Hypothetical Soundtrack.

So I said in previous posts that I am planning a crossover fic between Jennifer’s Body, Ginger Snaps and The Craft.

It’s working title is Still Here Breathing.

The story is going to be set in the same world as one of my crossover WIP’s Love’s Sacrifices (Carmilla: The Series/Pitch Perfect) and Mission to Silas (Ginger Snaps/The Craft/Carmilla: The Series/D.E.B.S); the latter is going to be a direct prequel to this fic.

While I’m far from actually writing down Still Here Breathing, I decided to write a hypothetical soundtrack for the story. Just something I tried experimenting with. I’d also give some tidbits for the story, and while this risks spoiling Mission to Silas, these spoilers are a Foregone Conclusion anyways (it is a prequel after all)

Tidbits.

1. The only thing I can guarantee from Mission to Silas is the survival of Brigitte, Sarah, Nancy, Bonnie and Rochelle. While I can’t spoil what happens to either the D.E.B.S or Lucy Diamond, I wouldn’t expect any of them to show up and lend a hand in the sequel.

Though I can see it being helluva story Brigitte and the Coven girls tell their friends.

2. Still Here Breathing is set to start weeks, if not months following the end of Jennifer’s Body (probably early 2010). As such, Needy will start off as a Hero With Bad Publicity with a Fugitive Arc.

To add insult to injury, Low Shoulder (or at the very least, Nikolai Wolf) is gonna be resurrected as incubi due to Needy bungling their murder. Not only are he/they antagonists, he/they remain Villains With Good Publicity for much of the story. 

The commentary of Nikolai Wolf/Low Shoulder being predatory celebrities preying on their fans is also taken up to eleven.

3. Both Jennifer and Ginger are gonna alive in this story; how I am currently keeping under wraps. 

I’m also planning on making Jennifer x Ginger a thing. One of the reasons I’m writing this story is to hook them up. Thinking of giving them an Enemies/Rivals to Lovers angle; think the lovechild of Jori (with Ginger as Jade) and Lumity (with Jennifer as Amity) and that should paint enough of a picture.

4. Megan Fox claimed she played Jennifer as a deeply closeted lesbian, so that's how I'd write her, with her dates/flings with boy being performative comphet. Expect much of Jennifer being a Gay Disaster, not being as confident with her sexuality as she’s letting on. 

If you are remotely familiar with season one era Amity Blight, you will have a good idea of what Jennifer brings to the table. 

5. All the expectant angst.

Especially with both Jennifer and Needy (while Jennifer x Ginger is a thing, Needifer is also one of the primary pairings of the story).

There’s also the expectant angst with the Fitzgerald sisters, but in a strictly sisterly subtext. There are some Ginger Snaps fans who try to put a incestous WLW spin on Ginger and Brigitte...I’m not one of those fans.

All these years being into Ginger Snaps (over a decade now) the only character is seriously shipped Brigitte with was Sam; as of Mission to Silas, I have also crossover paired her with Sarah and Nancy; along with AgentDiamond they’re the OT3 of the prequel

6. Speaking of Sarah and Nancy, this is another forgone conclusion “spoiler” from Mission to Silas - it’s in the stories fucking tags - those two are gonna be raising a kid. Along with Aunts Bonnie and Rochelle.

The kid in question is an alt version of Lily Schechner from The Craft: Legacy, with several alternations to her character; mainly that rather than be conceived by Nancy being raped, as per Zoe Lister Jones’ statement, she would be the magically conceived biological daughter to Sarah and Nancy. 

Seeing as she’s six at the time of the fic, other changes are to be expected, this being a different stage of Lily’s life. One thing I see her being so far, is a younger fan of Low Shoulder (to the absolute chagrin of her mothers and aunts).

Also, while Brigitte does hook up with Sarah and Nancy in Mission to Silas, I’m not sure they’d still be a thing at the time of Still Here Breathing. That said, I do see them still being close enough that Lily greets Brigitte as “Aunty B”, and Brigitte greets her as “Little Bean”.

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

A prequel to Love's Sacrifices and the upcoming Still Here Breathing.

In the days after Amy Bradshaw made her escape with Lucy Diamond, the two find themselves on the run. Forced to make an emergency landing in the county of Silas, Styria, as it so happens the rumors of Silas are of interest to the D.E.B.S Academy. While Amy's friends are assigned to this mission, they are reluctantly joined by a girl doing what she can to escape the curse taking hold of her life. What they don't know is there are people waiting for them at Silas, including a coven of witches who have yet to pick any sides.

So cards on the table, this is a side story I had on my mind for a while. I wanted to do a "D.E.B.S go on a mission to Silas University" thing for some time. It would be a prequel to Love's Sacrifices, and of course the main Carmilla series (being set about a decade before hand), which unfortunately means no Laura or Hollistien in this story.

That said, I also have been planning a crossover between The Craft, Ginger Snaps and Jennifer's Body, and wanted to write a story that set that one up, so I thought I'd kill two birds with one stone. The arcs here are gonna be setting up that story, from Brigitte's arc, to the explanation for Nancy's daughter Lily in the upcoming story. I am gonna be working this as a side story while I work on Love's Sacrifices and Unlife is Strange. 

It’s also going to be one of my shorter stories compared to the other two; probably having five or six chapters.

Some Canon Divergence; for all intents and purposes werewolves in this "verse" are different then how they are portrayed in Ginger Snaps; as in the change isn't permanent, and are closer to the werewolves of The Vampire Diaries, or Teen Wolf. Secondly, Lucy Diamond isn't as much of a public figure as she is in D.E.B.S - the academy is more clandestine and Lucy herself is regarded as something of an Urban Legend by the public. 

As per my previous story, "A Halloween Treat", the coven of The Craft are still close friends, and Sarah and Nancy are a couple. Also this timeline will set Ginger Snaps: Unleashed months after the first film.

D.E.B.S: Why this movie needs an update.

I wrote a review for "D.E.B.S" for college and made a slightly modified version of the review for this page. You should be able to pinpoint where this version of the review becomes less of a college report and more of a fan discussion.

D.E.B.S is a 2004 romantic comedy spy film, which has a plot based around the D.E.B.S program. With a secret portion of the SAT's tests, students are selected based on if they have what it takes; the ability to lie, cheat, fight and kill. The selected students are recruited into the D.E.B.S Academy to be trained to be spies. Their top student Amy Bradshaw is assigned to lead a squad to stop and catch a notorious super-villainess Lucy Diamond, who has a reputation for being a dangerous threat, who has killed a number of agents in the past. Things take quite turn when Amy and Lucy actually meet.

The film was not well received upon its initial release, with largely negative reviews, and faded into obscurity. Despite this the film has long since developed a cult following over the years. It is noted to being one of the few mainstream films that has a main focus and positive representation of homosexual and lesbian relationships, in a time where such depictions were rare.

One criticism is the focus on humor, emphasis on the romantic plot, use of cartoon tropes, and minimal character development. The character who gets the most positive development in my opinion is the films ostensible super-villain antagonist, while the bulk of the cast are pretty one note. 

This can be alluded to the film not reaching it's intended audience, being a near decade before it's time, or perhaps the mainstream audience was expecting something different. If you watch the movie expecting it to be a fully serious and strait forward spy adventure movie, you may be disappointed; but one must understand going in that this is not a strait spy movie, this is a genre parody/satire/borderline deconstruction. And that's before it outright switches genres.

While the film is far from being a masterpiece, one word I use to describe this film is "Subversive". This subversion can be best demonstrated in how the antagonists and protagonists switch over the film; how we are introduced to a mysterious super-villainess who is supposed to be a threat to the known world, turning out to be a socially awkward bean who is more interested in making love than war.

The actual antagonists having an unsubtle parallel with religious groups who believe that conservation therapy can cure homosexuality. Yeah, I know the D.E.B.S issues where that Amy was in love with a supervillain that would cause them bad publicity, as opposed to Amy being a lesbian, but the symbolism is still obvious.

One of the secondary antagonists, Amy’s boyfriend Bobby, is rather ahead of his time; nowadays we’d can see him as a commentary on  quote — unquote Nice Guy's who think they are entitled to the girl, and owed their affections. This kind of behavior is only getting called out nowadays, and yet this movie came back in 2004.

Even with the subversion, it is a more simplistic film, and lacking in that much depth. It is more about the forbidden romance than a typical "Save the world" story. This is a bit of a shame really; can you imagine the kind of movie we'd get where the antagonists are an organization - claiming to be a heroic spy agency- that are trying to groom child soldiers with an aged elitist who is more concerned in publicity and reputation than actually stopping alleged threats ? Now suddenly the headmistress Miss Petrie is reminding me of Supreme Leader Snoke.

We get something like that, but it's actual execution is lacking, and for all it's satire, it doesn't go the extra mile it could have to be a subversive masterpiece. 

Now for the fandom comparisons.

I have heard some people try to compare and contrast between D.E.B.S and Kim Possible; specifically  AgentDiamond to Kigo, but for the life of me I just don't see it. My unpopular opinion regarding Kigo aside, I don't see that much similarity between these relationships. Amy isn't very similar to Kim, and Lucy isn't too similar to Shego (honestly Lucy is more how I picture a Drakken and Shego’ daughter growing into). The point is Amy and Lucy are too different from Kim and Shego to make a comparison.

Amy meanwhile reminds me more of characters like Buffy Summers and Laura Hollis than Kim. 

Amy’s characterization is that she is the top D.E.B.S student and Agent, and like Buffy is one of the best of what she does (even though we don’t see that much spy action throughout the movie, so how exactly she is the best we do not see or know, we’re just going to have to take their word for it). 

Honestly I am more reminded of Laura Hollis from Carmilla the Series when I look at Amy. Both just have this kind of geeky, kind of naive, air about them, who becomes more strong after initially acting tough, and both are journalist students. Mind you, Laura is a far more animated character; she has more depth to her, is more three dimensional and her character arc is told over the course of three seasons, while Amy is condensed in one movie. As a result Amy feels more like a audience stand in.

I think that’s the other problem with this movie; as the whole everything is rushed. Amy has just gone through a breakup and is all to quick to start her relationship with Lucy. Amy becomes more willing to stand up for herself, but she was only being kicked around for the third act of the movie, Lucy has a Love Equals Redemption arc, and the most developed character in the movie, but even that is condensed in under half an hour. 

As far as AgentDiamond’s actual relationship goes ? I see it as more of a high school version Supercorp. Mixed with Hollistien. I very rushed version of the two.

My final thoughts; what I liked most about the movie was its subversiveness, even though I didn't think it went far or deep enough to make it a masterpiece. That and the film was way ahead of its time. Personally I wouldn't mind seeing reboot to this movie; be it a movie trilogy or TV Series, updated to the present day. There is some good pieces for deconstruction aside from the romance, I just think they didn't go all the way with them.

That’s just my thoughts though.
