#i am so here for these twinks holy shit
Note
So uhhh COD tk head cannons cus COD tickles like almost do not exist makes me very sad
COD Tickle Headcanons pt.1
HOLY SHIT I FORGOT ABOUT THIS FOR SO LONG SORRIIIIII
The characters mentioned here:
Ghost
Soap
Roach
Price
Gaz
Alejandro
ANYWAYS HCS UNDER THE CUT!!
Ghost
In summary, I declare him as a ler-leaning switch!
He knows about tickles, and he wants nothing to do with it.
Joining 141 helped him gain a slight understanding of friendly and playful affection from his teammates, so if Ghost has any questions about tickles… He'll ask his teammates if he's confident.
I'd say he has a switch sorta thing going on. At some point, he'll be ticklish, and sometimes he'll not.
He probably has a ticklish tummy… Maybe ticklish calves… Hfhhf...
Ghost is probably a blusher, being quiet, but his other teammates can clearly see that he's blushing and MAYBE enjoying it? Hmmm..
He usually gets tickled by Soap, maybe Price or Gaz every once in a while... But obviously, he gets them back, cause karma /j
He's not the one to tease verbally, but mostly physically. To elaborate, he would pause his tickles, waiting for the lee to think it's over, but then he goes BACK into it.
Every once in a while Ghost would chuckle along with the lee, just quietly.
"Pfft, weak. You're ticklish."
"I wonder how the others will be like if they found out about this little weakness."
Soap
Being the little guy I am, I can consider this guy as a lee-leaning switch!
Soap is pretty much an arse about tickles, and would try to tickle anyone he could (at appropriate times obviously)
Being the guy that always tickles Ghost, let's say that 141 had learned a lot about this Scottish guy.
For example, he is VERY ticklish behind his ears and on his nape (back of the neck)...
And MAYBEEE his sides... Hfhfhg he has squishy sides and I just wanna squeeze em
He's the sort of guy to squeal and squirm around right before someone tickles him. Anticipation gets to him badly /pos.
If Ghost were to SIMPLY put his hand down next to Soap's side, Soap's thoughts would go straight to tickles and just blow up inside as he slowly shifts.
But about his little ler side, he's really teasy. Making those damn remarks..
"Aww, let's see that smile a lil' more."
"Can't handle more eh? You can handle a bit mor'a tickling."
Roach (I CANT FIND ANY GIFS OF THIS GUY ONG)
Lee. He's a lee and I'm not fighting anyone about it. Maybe even a BRATTY LEE?? /pos
Ok ok, he has his regulations. He's not the full-on twink lee guy, but he definitely has his times where he would probably crave physical affection every once in a while.
And with that, Ghost could only comfort the man with such.
In my opinion, Roach isn't ticklish in common places... Usually, his weak spots are his forearms, palms, calves, and maybe his ankles. Though he's slightly more ticklish on his ribs or armpits.
If he's in a lee mood, there will only be 2 options and only 2.
Option 1: He'll be confident and ask Ghost privately for some light tickles.
Option 2: He'll be annoying yet respectful as much as he can be. Clinging onto his bud until Ghost realizes.
And when he does get tickled? Ha, it's adorable.
Quiet squeals, and yet he doesn't squirm. Surprisingly, he stays really still.
"You can't find my spots, nuh uh."
"If you're going to attempt for it, I'll tell on you." /j
Price
Haha papa bear. (He's a ler and he ain't afraid.)
NO SERIOUSLY IF HE EVER GETS THE CHANCE TO TICKLE YOU RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!!
He knows all your right spots,, oh shit.
However, he's not a bad person, so he'll not exploit it too much. Only in... Necessary situations.
Example? OH! Like when you're sad, or when you miss home... Or when you need a little boost in life! Price is there to help ya with some tickles!
And sometimes, if he's really close to you/willing... He'll let you tickle him for a little bit. (Though run after your part cause he WILL GET YOU! >:D)
Usually a bit ticklish on his armpits and tummy. Just poking those spots could let out a fatherly warm chuckle outta him.
Now the best part, teases.
"C'mon now plum, you can't be sad all day y'know?"
"Let me know when I hit a good one! How about here...? *proceeds to tickle you in your worst spot /pos*"
Gaz
He's a crackhead, little switch.
Gaz loves being tickled as much as he loves tickling others. Though, this guy only tickles the people he's close with. (141, and sometimes family members /p)
VERY PLAYFUL AND TEASY I WILL TELL YOU THAT!
Both Soap and him work together to bring the magic of tickles throughout 141! But obviously, they get their asses tickled after a while since it's fair.
He's the sorta guy to tell you all his tickle spots, then forget about it, and then when you tickle him, he goes insane and demands to know how you found his worst spots!
Pretty ticklish on his calves. And also his ribs and neck,, AND EVEN HIS CHEEKS HHFHF!!
He has the prettiest smile, and Price just wants to see his bud smiling all the time, so tickles it is.
"GAHAHA!! COME ON NOW--! HOW COME YOU KNEHEHW?!"
"I sw- I swear if you tell anyone about my spots I'll get back at ya."
"Aww~ Cat got your tounge?"
Alejandro
Bro is afraid of being a lee. /j (He's actually a lee-leaning switch shh..)
A guy like him?? TICKLISH??? PFFTT..
Ticklish. He's so damn ticklish.
Sides, hips, stomach, armpits, ribs... This guy was molded in ticklish heaven.
But he WILL threaten you (/lh) if you tell anyone about his lil secret. But sometimes he'll let it slide... Or that is what you think.
Sometimes you'll thing he forgot about the incident, but oh no... He comes back alright.
He has a bad start at first, but once he's confident he'll really dig into your weakness as much as you did with his.
Obviously in a friendly way, but he takes it as a serious way to simply frighten his lee cause he apperently finds that funny.
THE GOD OF NIBBLES AND RASPBERRIES OH MY--
"Ah there you go. Not so fun when it's you being tickled, hm?"
"You're laughing too much, you might wake up the others, amigo!"
---
IM SO SORRY I GOT TO IT ONLY NOW!! I ONLY SAW IT JUST NOW AND LIKE OMGGG IM SO SORRYYYYY!! :<<

Sukiyanen Kedo Do Yara ka Ep 7 Stray Thoughts
Last week, Sakae’s restaurant struggled with a special deal from another restaurant poached all of his customers. Soga wanted to help, and created a robust social media plan to attract new customers, but his own work kept him too busy to offer much direct assistance. Mizuki, continuing to meddle, stepped in and convinced all of the customers to come back. There’s a new Tokyo guy in Soga’s office, and that guy is rude in ways I don’t respect.
Good job, Sakae. Do not give in to that man.
Oh, this guy continues to be weird. I’m with Kanda.
Mizuki, you may be pretty but I am used to dismissing twinks.
Goddamn this dude just continues to fuck it up for Soga.
Sakae, can you not let Mizuki interfere in the middle of your fight??
The lighting in this scene with Kaname may be outstanding, but I’m not really with Sakae here.
Oh my god we’re back at this café. This juice looks so gross! I kinda want to visit a place like this.
Somebody needs to mush Mizuki in the face.
Yes, Kanda, hand him his ass.
Well, I’m glad Soga got off his ass and said what needed to be said.
He was cute with the glasses on!
I’m glad y’all are kissing, but he’s got a fever!
Holy shit. We just got together. Why are y’all being so dramatic at the end of this episode??
There was a lot of running around this episode, and I don’t know that it all worked. We’ve got three episodes left, so I hope we get some good couple content from them before the end. I like the performance around Mizuki, and I get how he helps these two waffling boys get over the hump, but it wasn’t a strong character episode for either Soga or Sakae.

Exercise, drinking water, sleeping for 8-10 hours, hobbies, reading, or talking with people are all those things that like… literally do help almost every problem. Oh and eating well of course.
What is confounding is how hard they all are. I mean you definitely can!!!! You can we can we all can we gotta and we will! So jot that down first.
Exercise is a huge one for me because so many people just HATE the gym which is So Fair. That place SUCKS and I hated it for a long time too. But, that’s a societal demand, you gotta go to the gym to work out. Fuck That fuck it fuck it fuck it, you literally don’t and don’t believe people who say otherwise. I had a patient who I asked if he worked out and he said no I’ve just been clearing an empty lot for a bit. He looked Great. My bf did exclusively yoga and very low intensity hiking for a long time and every pic of him he is bright slim and fit. I did a literal thirty minute at home workout for a while and felt and looked great. I also see plenty of guys who have a gut or some pudge who move weight around in the gym that frightens me, makes me shake in my twink boots. Fitness is about moving and how you feel in your body, abs are closer to expensive drag than fitness. Like wow that looks great and you spent a lot of time, effort, and money on that cool!! You aren’t actively harming yourself to achieve it….. riiiiiiiiiiiight???????
The other stuff…. I dunno man… the ADHD I think plays a huge role. I just have to have a water bottle always around me or else I won’t. I gotta pull out all the stops drinking water. Also public water infrastructure here in the states is LAME BOOOOOOO give us cool fountains.
I’ve also noticed sometimes truly you gotta take a sip to see if you’re thirsty. Just a little tiny sip and for me I’ll know, I’ll start guzzling cause omg this shit HITS, turns out I was thirsty as FUCK.
Sleep evades me like holy shit I have such a hard time going to sleep. With how busy life is cramming everything in is a NIGHTMARE. Ten hours makes you feel like a new bitch but ten hours of sleep is a needy temptress and i am not a sugar daddy.
Which is the real issue all of this takes time and money and we’re all short on all of that. Which is why we have to come together and kill the gods of time and every billionaire.

grabbing u by the jugular YOU. i have never seen anyone simultaneously into fangans + enstars + milgram besides me. im no longer a rare breed. i have found a fellow eldritch horror. holy shit
anw hiiii teehee u shld loredump abt that one blond dr oc u made im obsessed w ur art now
i am into So many unrelated things its unreal im crazy
ALSO OMG NOBODUS EVER ASKED AB MY OCS ON HERE GRABS YOU im gonna dump some doodles including the one i posted here :P
(the person beside kie in the 2nd one is my other oc teq, theyre. insane)
SOOOO!!!! his name is kieryuu hinagiku if u cant read my handwriting (oops) n hes the ultimate actor !! not a very original talent but i figured with his personality itd be pretty funny to see how thatd play out
i originally just wanted to make a new oc because i got bored and was thinking but recently ive Also been getting back into dr so i was like hey!! i could make a dr oc!!! and so i did. i always like making antag-aligned characters (the only non-antag character ive made is romeo and hes just a freak) so unfortunately kieryuu is. also antag. what a loser BOO GET OFF THE STAGE
when i was asking for name suggestions @yumeoarakawa suggested the name "kie" and i was like THAT GOES HARD and kie kinda sounds 消える (kieru, meaning to vanish or disappear) but i didnt want to make it too obvious that was the word i thought of so i went for kieryuu instead !!! but i also just call him kie for funsies . his last name means daises cuz hes a stupid idiot twink
AS FOR KIE'S PERSONALITY!! at first he comes off as timid and shy and low self esteem and all that but if you say anything more than "its nice to meet you my name is x whats your name ok cool thanks bye" he immediately unfurls himself to be the most stuck up horrible piece of shit you could ever meet. bro seems to only care about being "cute" and thinks that everything bad he says or does can be justified by his cuteness and talent . if asked why he doesnt just act as sweet as he does on stage so people like him more he'd probably respond with some shit like "that's way too much effort for someone as cute as me, y'know..? plus, whatever people think doesn't matter as long as i'm being good for the camera.."
he doesnt rlly care much ab anything that doesnt have to do with him but he Is very lonely and actively tries to talk to people (even if they all hate his bitchass Lol)
itty bitty kie doodle for u <3 TY FOR ASKING <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
#☆ apollo answers#artpollo#TY SOOOO MUCH FOR ASKING ABOUT MY CRINGEFAIL KIE#KILL HIM WITH HAMMERS#kieryuu hinagiku#apollos ocs

I would also like to go off about how terrible the book Touch Of Darkness was like holy shit (spoilers ahead if you care dont read further)
So like we got, our hades x persephone romance right? Now make it modern day. Now make Hades a night club owner?? But also he is still doing, underworld duties the gods are still all gods. Now add, consistent reoccuring flower themes, BUT, nothing is done with them.
Ok we on the same page now? No we arent it gets worse. Persephone? A cunt for no reason. Also licherally being? Gaslit by Demeter? The entire time thats the fucking twist. All the characters are completely 2 dimensional, you are not getting past they like sex and secondary characteristic that is brought up.
Random human best friend, does fucking nothing, enables Persephone being a massive cunt for no reason.
The entire book is held up by how banger the sex scenes are, I am talking IMMACULATE the shit is so steamy like hot DAMN.
Plot sucks Persephone hates Hades for no reason meanwhile Hades is actively out here being Just A Guy and not even?? Being that fucking terrible? He isnt bad honestly, like, at all really. Not only is he not really that bad he ACTIVELY FUCKING LISTENS TO THIS BITCH AND?? BECOMES A BETTER PERSON?? he deserves so much better. I hate persephone in this book and she is the main character and i just found her so unbelievably annoying. Like. Half the 2 dimensional, not at all fleshed out remotely characters were more enjoyable for me to read. I loved Hermes but he also read as flat and likes sex and games and thats it really. I visualized him as a silly little twink though and that probably helped.
This book was just so attrocious it sets up plot that just doesnt even need to be a plot line and conflates it so out of proportion and then NOTHING AND NOTHING THEY DONT DO ANYTHING WITH IT!
10/10 if you are looking for a trashy novel i think it took my slow ass 3 days to finish reading and then i did nothing but complain to everyone that would listen and THEN i bought the rest in whAT IS A FUCKING TRILOGY?? AND THERE ARE BOOKS IN HADES PERSPECTIVE????
Oh oh oh would also like to establish, it didnt occur to me that this was an aggressively smutty romance book when I first bought it, I didnt notice the lack of publication house, I just thought it would be a cute Hades x Persephone book with some tragic conflict. I felt no romantic build up or sexual tension while reading and the first sex scene hit me like a fucking truck I was astonished.
Also the Hades book reads better but I also just?? Liked Hades as a character significantly more and I havent finished it yet but already it felt, like it had better plot construction, and real conflict, instead of this fake ass shit that Persephone was making a huge massive deal out of.
It also deals with some rape-y shit so if that triggers you definitely don't read, that is one of the conflict points but I hated it and felt it was addressed as a way to move plot rather than bring actual light to the issue of it. It let Hades swoop in after his girl got drugged and had like no other repercussions or trauma tied to the experience or anything really.
I have to go back and read it again to get all of my major bullet point issues, I would also like to highlight every time they bring up flowers and then never use it for forshadowing or meaningful symbolism because it happens a lot throughout the book to the point of me, a notoriously dense individual, actually noticing and getting annoyed by it.
All of the annoyance of the book just adds to the charm, but really, only read it if you don't know what an actual good romance book looks like and couldn't get a better suggestion, OR, if you are just a bad book aficionado like myself.
#terrible romance reviews#a touch of darkness#this book is bad and I have so many complaints#i will actually genuinely take my copy and annotate this shit with sticky notes and why i fucking hate it#it is so bad its good#like watching a massive 5 car accident in real time#you just cant stop watching#i have so many issues with this book#books and reading#trashy romance#adult romance

IDW Beast Wars Post-mortem
So the IDW Beast Wars comic has been cut short at seventeen issues, and I’ve seen almost no discussion of it at all. While I am a bit sad that it’s already over, to be honest I was mostly enjoying the comic in a so-bad-it’s-good way lol In this deep dive, I want to get into why I felt that way! To anyone who loved this comic as it was, that’s great and I don’t want to take that away from you—I just want to share my opinion and own analysis.
Spoilers for the entire comic and original show! Long post ahead:
When it comes to problems with this comic, I’m going to separate them into three broad categories: design, characterization, and plot.
Design Problems
The first thing that really struck me while reading the comic is the character art. Instead of translating the designs of BW into 2D, it often looks a bit like TFA’s style. Megatron especially resembles TFA Megatron. But TFA, while I’m not the biggest fan of how it looks, was really good about making all the characters look unique. This BW comic, on the other hand, has every character look like the same twink. This is “same face syndrome” to the extreme!
Comparing Dinobot and Cheetor to their show counterparts really highlights this. How can Rattrap call Dinobot “Chopperface” anymore when Dinobot looks like this? Why are all of Cheetor’s catlike features absent? It was never hard to read his expressions in the show, so it just feels to me like the character has been stripped out of them.
Even characters who have more unique features aren’t immune to having strange alterations to their designs. I never got over Rhinox’s mouth being so small (bishie Rhinox LMAO), Blackarachnia’s eyes no longer being black for some reason, Tarantulas’s mouthparts being colored like a void, or Waspinator’s eyes being different sizes and shapes when he shows emotion.
I think the absolute worst character design from this comic has to be Scorponok. When I first realized this was him, I actually laughed out loud! He looks almost nothing like the one from the show, and I have no idea why. Why the french fry legs? Why the twink face and body? Why does his tail look like that when he still has a normal tail in beast mode?
Speaking of beast modes, I’m sorry, but they look terrible in this comic. Scorponok’s beast mode itself looks nothing like a scorpion, which is pretty bad when his beast mode in the show already looked nothing like a real scorpion and yet this is even WORSE, but I think Nyx and Rhinox may have even more horrible beast modes. Nyx looks like a terrifying grubby animatronic, and Rhinox... so wrinkled... so wrong.... I think Nyx has it the worst though, given that she’s shown in beast mode at the beginning of every issue.
Outside of the characters, there are a lot of other design problems as well. The color schemes, while pretty and pastel, don’t really fit BW in my opinion? BW had a lot of earthy tones and rich colors, and I think the more pastel, digital look would’ve worked better when kept to Cybertron. I’m also not a huge fan of the airbrush effect on light sources given how clean everything else is.
But coloring’s the least of the problems. Worse are the things that actually get in the way of the reading experience. Composition is sometimes confusing and doesn’t seem to fit where the reader’s eye should be heading next.
Sometimes there isn’t clear perspective and the backgrounds look totally flat, making the characters all scaled incorrectly.
Sound effects are sometimes ill-fitting for the actions that should be producing them, or are so laughable and intrusive that they spoil moments that should be dramatic.
Even worse, here’s a sound effect that’s just... a word describing the action LMAO
Last but not least, holy shit at this copypasted Dinobot + foot from issue 16, which not only looks crunchy as hell, but also makes him look pretty stupid and lazy for just standing there.
Characterization Problems
Maybe if the comic had a really awesome plot and characterization I could look past the design, but... I don’t even really know where to start lol The BW comic’s writer said he wanted what happened to be new and unpredictable for old fans of the show, so changes were made to old characters and new characters were added. I don’t think this was successful in any respect, to be honest.
I can’t speak for every fan of BW, but when I see a new comic celebrating BW, I want to see old characters in a new story with a new adventures, but with the characters in-keeping with how they were in the show until they develop differently. But here, changes seem to be made really arbitrarily and right from the start.
Optimus Primal is suddenly a warrior and an inexperienced leader, not the fun-loving philosopher type who has great leadership skills. But why? the comic even later had its own version of “Gorilla Warfare” from the show, but what’s the point when he’s already kind of combat-focused? As I’ll get into, I don’t feel like the changes ADD anything to the story.
Cheetor isn’t childlike and impulsive at all, instead being a scientist. But in the show, we already had Rhinox, who’s in the comic. From my perspective, this is just removing fun and character for no real reason.
Rattrap, one of the favorite characters from the show, can now barely fight on his own!!! He was such a badass, why take that away?! This is a change I’m actually angry about!
Nyx, a new character, seems to have absorbed the traits Cheetor and Rattrap lost, and even has a similar relationship to Dinobot as Rattrap or Optimus had in the show. She’s also introduced by being captured and tortured, but this seems to be barely focused on at all after the first few issues. I don’t feel like she really grew beyond being a mix of Rattrap and Cheetor, and I don’t see the purpose of that. I also find it strange that the writers didn’t use pre-existing blue bat Sonar in place of Nyx, nor a genderbent Nightscream, given that he was supposed to be a girl at first? I would have especially loved Sonar in Nyx’s role, since her description of being a self-conscious, hotheaded Maximal would’ve been an actually unique characterization that would’ve contributed a lot!
Dinobot... comes across as sanitized to me. I don't buy that this is the gross, stinky character from the show. His design really doesn't help, but even his actions lack the weight they carried in the show. Early in the comic he gets injured in a fight similar to the one in "Code of Hero," but we've barely MET Dinobot that early on! He also doesn't have any objection to just leaving the planet at the end of the comic, whereas there was an entire episode of the show dedicated to how he felt he could never return because he'd never be accepted on Cybertron. All of his concerns about "destiny" seem to be gone as well. I almost feel like Dinobot is a generic bad boy archetype in the comic, which is a grave insult to how complex he was in the show.
The Predacons only got off a bit easier than the Maximals, in my opinion. Waspinator comes across like a sweet and innocent guy, not at all like the bully he was in the show. Am I supposed to believe he’s a Predacon? Waspinator is sympathetic in the show because he’s unlucky and mistreated and never gives up, not because he’s nice and sweet. He also rarely speaks the way he does in the show... why? That gave him so much character!
Scorponok’s characterization has been changed along with this design. Although he remains a Megatron loyalist, he’s not portrayed as stupid or tough or easily frightened anymore, and I can’t remember if he ever invented anything or used his Cyber Bee drone from the show at any point? Scorponok was already the most bland character in the show in my opinion, but here he’s even MORE bland.
In a similar case to Nyx’s, new character Skold seems to have absorbed a lot of Scorponok’s character. While she’s not stupid, she’s perceived that way, is physically strong, is shown to understand science, is easily frightened, is loyal to Megatron, etc.. I actually really like Skold, I thought she was hilarious, has a great design, and I hope she shows up in more media! I enjoyed seeing her backstory, as well! But I’m not impressed by the writer choosing to remove the characterization from somebody else just to give it to a new one, while still having the old one present.
Skold is also bullied by all the Predacons which I find to be odd. While barely any Predacons were friendly with each other and they were all ready to turn on each other in the show, not even Waspinator was actively antagonized by all his teammates like that. Instead, Megatron was usually oppressing everybody else. I don’t really understand why this change was made. It was also weird that Terrorsaur is Skold’s main bully and seems to have traumatized her, when Terrorsaur and Waspinator came across like they had one of the only friendships between Predacons in the show.
But I say the Predacons got off easier than the Maximals because Blackarachnia and Tarantulas at least seem pretty true to their show counterparts, and I kept reading just for them at certain points! Their rivalry is as hilarious as ever, and I loved that Blackarachnia got to lead the Predacons at the end of the comic. Unfortunately, I can’t really look at any of the Maximals in the comic and be like, “Wow, their portrayal really lives up to the show!” the way I can with Blackarachnia and Tarantulas.
Unfortunately, even in the rare cases where I enjoyed the characterization, it never got a chance to shine because of...
Plot Problems
Here’s the big one!
One of the most frustrating things about this comic for me was that despite the writer’s insistence that it would be new and different, none of the unanswered questions or underutilized aspects from the show were explored. Great characters who were unceremoniously benched like Airazor and Tigatron were given even LESS focus in this comic, and most of the characters who were introduced late in the show didn’t get to show up at all! Despite appearing in their true form early on in the comic, I didn’t come away from the comic knowing anything about the Vok that wasn’t obvious from the show. One of the most mysterious and important characters of the show, Tarantulas, didn’t get any new explanation of his origin, and despite his hatred of the Vok being a driving force of the majority of the show, he just decides to team up with them in the comic (and nothing comes of that). Maybe the weirdest and most mysterious aspect of the show, Cheetor’s prophetic dreams, were never explained either.
Which leads into another point: changes to characterization didn’t matter. Nothing really comes of Tarantulas not being the Vok’s enemy. Airazor and Tigatron serving the Vok also didn’t really mean anything. Dinobot, Rattrap, Optimus, and Cheetor all behaving completely differently to the show didn’t contribute anything to the plot. Plus, characters were often treated as expendable—I didn’t even mention Razorbeast’s existence until now because he lasted, what? Two issues? Polar Claw and Saberback (whose name I literally forgot and had to look up) I swear were shown being killed by Megatron, and Tigatron even said he’d avenge Polar Claw... only for them to show up in the final issue alive and well. So much for motivation and stakes? Polar Claw and Saberback were also shown in the character roll call that’s at the front of every issue when they were magically resurrected, but they only showed up for a non-speaking role in the background anyway, so what was even the point of bringing them back? Plus, despite the comic’s claim to be new, the two major recurring characters to die are the same ones who died first in the show (Terrorsaur and Scorponok).
But THE problem with this comic—the absolute worst of the worst—is all the damn exposition! There is SO MUCH OF IT. Characters talk to themselves, describe things we can see happening ourselves, and talk endlessly to the Maximal and Predacon computers. In issue #7, Dinobot just infodumps to the Maximals about who each of the Predacons are. In Issue #10, 90% of it consists of the Maximals talking endlessly about how they want to do something, but they don’t get to it until the very end of the issue. Even worse, in Issue #13, Cheetor is interrogated by one of the Vok about a thing that doesn’t matter, and then Cheetor completely forgets the whole experience at the end, meaning the plot wasn’t advanced at all by that issue.
Even the future plans for the comic didn’t sound very good:
Text version:
Let’s do it. First, Rattrap’s love of fruit was going to cause a glitch in his system just when his expertise was needed ‘most, and it would be a race against time to save him! Scorponok was going to find a rival in one of the unleashed protoform pods (Quickstrike!), whose only goal was to replace him! Rhinox was going to be suspected as a Predacon mole! Blackarachnia was going to take over the Predacons for a little while when Megatron was taken off board (we at least hinted at that at the end of this issue!). | was going to fight tooth and nail to get the original Dinobots (all of them—or at least Grimlock) into the book! I’d initially thought Waspinator would head off and join the Children of the Vok to leave fighting behind after the Vok’s destruction! And yes, I wanted to get some Fuzors in as well! Finally, Josh was all in on bringing the Tripredacus Council and the Maximal Elders into the battle with the Vok (as combiners! Which...we would’ve needed another 20 pages to pull off!). But alas, it’s all stuff we had to skip past. These ideas and more are welcome to pop up in your personal head canons.
Wow, Rattrap almost dies after eating a fruit? Riveting stuff here. I’m particularly insulted by Quickstrike supposedly having his entire character reduced to wanting to replace Scorponok... SCORPONOK. I know they’re both scorpions, but their personalities and roles are nothing alike in the show, and I refuse to believe Quickstrike would make his life goal replacing Scorponok of all people lol While I am sad we didn’t get to see more of the Tripredacus Council or see the Maximal Elders battling the Vok, something I would have loved to see in the show itself, and the same with Blackarachnia being the new leader, I feel like the other suggested ideas show the writers didn’t have a strong grasp on the characters.
As I said the beginning of this post, part of me is sad this comic didn’t get to stick around longer, and I think this analysis was partly me memorializing it XD

The Poll™️ is Over!! Results Momence!! This is a longer post so it's under a read more.
----
----
With 30% of the votes, or about 6,593 votes total, is Ernest Hemingway!! Pretty much a landslide victory, I seriously didn't think this many people wanted to punch him.
The only person even close to votes, with 25% or 5,494 votes total, was Lord Byron. Which. Yea.
The rest of the numbers are:
9% or 1,978 to Percy Shelley.
6% or 1318 to Oscar Wilde.
5% or 1098 each to both Victor Hugo and Walt Whitman
3% of 659 to Bram Stoker
2% or 439 to RL Stevenson
And 1% or 219 to Mary Shelley
Of course there's also the 14% or 3,076 people who had other nominations. From what I saw in the notes, most are:
Henry David Thoreau. A lot of you wanna beat him up. Same with F Scott Fitzgerald, who fun fact was almost in the list but was switched out for Ernest Hemingway.
Leo Tolstoy. A whole lot for him too. Same with Nathaniel Hawthorne. I also almost included him but I didn't. Same with James Joyce, he was taken out last minute in place of Whitman.
Charles Dickens was also nominated a bunch. Completely forgot he existed tbh.
CS Lewis. What the fuck happens in the end of Narnia like holy shit.
A main point of the list was to include "Tumblr Popular Authors™️" to try and pit them against eachother. For example Stoker because of Dracula Daily, Hugo due to Les Mis, Mary Shelley because she's Mary Shelley, etc etc.
I wasn't expecting such a Hemingway/Byron sweep, I thought the results would be a little bit more spread out. However I gained some insight into some thoughts through the tags:
Too many of you want to fuck these people. I'm sorry to the one person who wants insane unethical sex with Hugo, but that sentence is now part of my vocabulary. To the rest of you, please stop wanting to fuck Wilde. I am begging you.
On the topic of Oscar, more if you should have picked him. Personally. Between him and Mary I got a lot of "OP why are they on the list???" and again this is a lighthearted list. But like. Please. Shout-out to the one tag calling Alfred Douglas an "evil twink" though I will also be thinking about that forever. Top favorite tag.
There is a reason I didn't put Lovecraft and people still nominated him. Even when I make a rule violence prevails 💛.
Thank you all for informing me on the ending of Narnia. What the fuck happens in Narnia.
Probably one of my favorite tags by far has to go to:
New gate crimes against Ernest Hemingway is another favorite phrase. I have literally a whole folder of tags I gathered throughout the week but if I put all my favorites on here this post would be a nightmare.
In all, thank you for the most insane week of my life, I never want a popular poll post again 💛
#again i had a good time#all in good fun and stuff#violence my absolute beloved 💛#i won't main tag this but i wanted to make a conclusion post#woob words#long post#no id#sex ment#<- just in case ya know

I HAD A STUPIDER IDEA FOR A SHORT DRABBLE
ISAAC SCARES THE FUCK OUT OF EDWARD BY PICKING HIM UP -Pixel
HELL YES PLEASE THANK YOU VERY MUCH-
Imma make this isward cause fuck it's been a while-
---
"Ohoho, you think you're so strong, huh pretty boy?"
"And 'ohoho' to you, because fuck you I am strong, ya damn twink."
Back and forth bickering, a common occurrence between the two. Insults fly, declarations are made, all in good jest nowadays, yet things could still get pretty heated.
Currently, Isaac was doubting Edward's strength, to which the other was highly offended (he goes to the damn gym, thank you very much!). "If anything, you're the weak one out of both of us!" Isaac scoffed at that claimed, rolling his eyes with a cheeky grin. "Like hell I am. I bet I could pick you up right here, right now."
Edward actually laughed at that, bonking Isaac's head with his palm as he retorted, "You and your tiny ass body? Couldn't even lift a twig!"
Isaac looked offended then, grin widening all the while. "Oh now you're making big claims, Error! Watch me and you." He said, arms raised as Edward rolled his own eyes, scoffing.
"Yeah, yeah, good for you twink boy-"
But suddenly, he let out an undignified scream. Why?
Because Isaac, god damn Isaac, wrapped his arms right around his thighs, and hauled him up like it was nothing. Edward blushed tenfold, feeling the other's grip adjust almost instinctively.
"HOLY FUCK YOU ASS!!!" Edward shrieked as Isaac laughed, beginning to fall into a little jog, jostling the jock as he did. "PUT ME DOWN, PUT ME DOWN HOLY SHIT-"
"Get got, you stupid bastard!" Isaac laughed, and Edward yelped with a start when he started spinning around. If anyone saw this happening, such a tiny boy lifting up someone almost twice his size in the middle of the park, they'd probably be mortified.
But...this was fun. This was so stupid but so hilariously fun, that Edward started laughing through his threats and startled shrieks, laughing along with the artist as he'd try and lean his way out of Isaac's grip.
Isaac wasn't going to let him live this down, huh?
---
IT'S SHORT, BUT IT'S CUTE AND I LIKE IT-

yo yo this is my first post on the hellsite. so hello hi, my name is Steve (you can call me Steven tho), I am 18 (bodily 17), my pronouns are he/him (I’d prefer you just use my name, sometimes I just don’t feel like pronounce), I am arospec and homosexual with an exclusive attraction to men — based on their gender ofc, don’t care abt your down there — and enbies who are man-aligned or whatever. i don’t feel too much romantic fluff and am not into it, but i’m still positive about romance overall.
here are some of my stances, takes, some stuff abt me in general idk, to help you out in (not) interacting with this blog muahaha:
gays should have the exact amount of rights as straights, but preferably we should be liberated from shitty heternormative society
i hate cancel culture, but i love people being taken accountable. don’t police others for liking a “problematic” person, just point out if they’re a dick sucker.
i hate terminally online shit so much pls don’t bring your terminally online bullshit on this blog. YOU WILL BE IGNORED AND/OR BLOCKED.
people whose sexual action is being into children or into animals shouldn’t be here. you all make me throw up.
don’t come here if you unironically say “slayyyy” or “you ate 🤪” or any other white queer appropriation of AAVE every 5 seconds. you can say “slay” or any other AAVE phrase, but if your skin looks like milk and not like espresso coffee, then you’re on thin ice.
people who are like “umm bi lesbeans aren’t real 🥺🥺🥺” who gives a shit who gives a shit WHO GIVES A SHIT??? don’t come here if you’re like that.
people who are against the ocean turian/uranian flag (don’t care + didn’t ask + white + L + ratio) shouldn’t come here at all. i could give less of a fuck. uranians be damned, THE FACT WE HAVE FLAGS OF OUR OWN IS ENOUGH. SHUT UP ALREADY AND ADMIT THAT ENBIES CAN LIKE BLUE TOO, WHY DO YOU GENDER COLORS? or “nooo they stole it from lesbans 🥺🥺🥺” WHO GIVES A FUCK ?????!!!!??? ITS FINE TO TAKE INSPIRATION Y’ALL + THE POINT IS THAT THEY MATCH YOU BITCHES
i am, generally speaking, a leftist. I appreciate this whole idea of workers owning the means of production but not only. I also appreciate this one thing, it begins with an A, arachnids or something, idk. oh, anarchy!! that one!!! yeah, if you’re a hardcore ML, maybe this isn’t the place for you.
I am Christian so please don’t disrespect my religion. I am not practicing but I still believe in my Lord Jesus Christ, for only He can save me from this hellhole. i think he’s fine with homosexuals too, the Bible generally condemned pederasty (the totally not MAP act of older men having sex with younger twinks during the Ancient era, which ofc is a stupid as fuck practice!!!), NOT HOMOSEXUAL BEHAVIOR BETWEEN TWO CONSENTING ADULTS HOLY FUCK !!!! Plus if y’all don’t allow us to marry, am I supposed to forever not fuck a man?!?? (no sex before marriage y’all!!)
if you’re younger than, idk, the age of consent in most European countries, you shouldn’t be on this blog. I may post some… slightly NSFW stuff from time to time. (NOT an NSFW blog tho!!!!)
anyone who says “fiction doesn’t affect reality 🤓” or “fiction doesn’t affect reality 1:1 🤓” is a mindless zombie who can’t be critical of what they consume and tolerate the fucked up portrayal of… MAP behavior, of Catholic priest behavior, ya know, in a “haha this is good quirky soooo romantic woowww 🤪🤪🤪” way, and you shouldn’t even look at me in the eyes. yes, you know yourselves.
I LOVE MUSCULAR MEN!!!! I LOVE JACKED UP MEN WHO ARE MASCULINE JUST LIKE I AM!!!! I LOVE MEN WHOSE MUSCLES ARE HUGE!!!! I LOVE FIT MEN!!!! MEENNNNNNNNN!!!!!!
I love a bit of footy, a bit of pop music (ya know, Katy Perry, Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, that shit slaps and is not for effeminate twinks or white valley girls only), I love Kumalala especially, I uhh love linguistics, I love many things… except for love itself 😌.
Anyhow ahoy, i hope y’all will… tolerate me i guess. host calls me “problematic” and has beef with me, tell @anarchobasil they’re wrong whenever they shit talk abt me pls. When I say “probelmatic” stuff I am ironic 99.9% of the time. I am a very huge ally for everyone, don’t care. and uhhh that’s it????

Gimme More
Pairing: Ransom Drysdale x fem!reader (OTP ninja and puppy), implied Ari Levinson x Ransom Drysdale and Ari x Ransom x reader
Words: ~1k
Summary: Ari and Ransom have a surprise for you.
Warnings: explicit language, sex work, alcohol consumption, good natured teasing, future sexy times implied, Ransom is lil bit of a sex goddess (that’s right, goddess), 18+ ONLY!!
A/N: Quick, dirty, fun, and sweet, I love these three together so much, and they’re gonna get even better once we add cubby to the mix!!
I am no longer doing taglists so if you want to stay up to date on all the latest filth, follow my sideblog @the-iceni-library and turn on notifications!!
“No, Ari!” You tried to dig your feet in when Ari started dragging you towards the stage, but it was useless, the man was a beast. “I’m already getting dirty looks, I don’t think all these men are gonna appreciate me hogging prime real estate in front of the dancers. I’m pretty sure they already think I’m your hag.”
“Gorgeous, who fucking cares?” He grinned and kissed your forehead when he shoved you into the seat, sinking next to you and throwing a massive arm around your shoulders. “We’re celebrating your engagement, just relax and have a good time.”
“Yeah, my engagement, so why the fuck are we at a gay strip club?” You scrunched up your nose and scowled when he leaned over and pressed a kiss to your temple, his eyes drifting to the dancer who was grinding into the stage in front of you and tucked some bills into his g-string with a wink while you rolled your eyes. “And where is my fiancé? He disappeared a half hour ago, how are we supposed to be celebrating when he’s not even here?”
“Don’t worry so much.” Ari kept eye fucking the stripper while his hand trailed over your arm, winking at the twink when he giggled and collected his money from the stage before running off. “You’re gonna ruin your surprise.”
You were about to jump all over that hint when the DJ announcing the next dancer interrupted you.
“Alright, hope y’all are ready for a throwback, because we’ve got a doozy for you. Please welcome to the stage, for one night only, Gemini!”
“Ha, that was Ran’s…” you froze when you saw the dancer that was strutting onto the stage in nothing but a rhinestone studded body stocking and what you were hoping was a flesh colored thong, the way his hips were swaying making your mouth water. “Holy shit!”
Ari cackled and snatched your hand when you smacked his chest, kissing your palm while you gaped at Ransom draping himself over the pole in a lewd pose while he winked at you. You squealed when a slow cover of Toxic came over the speakers and he started rolling his body to the music, leaning forward with a dopey grin on your face when he slinked around the pole and swayed lasciviously.
God, you were mesmerized by him. You knew he could dance, hell, he’d given you enough lap dance by this point it was practically tradition for you Saturday nights. But watching him climb that pole and twirl around it and arch his whole body in those beautiful lines? You were fighting the urge to climb on the stage and lick him all over.
And his floor work, he moved like a fucking sex god, like he was made to take cock and eat pussy and anyone who thought different was a fucking moron. You audibly moaned when he sprawled himself across the stage right in front of you and arched his whole body so fucking beautifully you almost reached out to yank him towards you, barely even registering that all the men around the stage were literally throwing money at your fiancé while Ari just grinned and slapped a pile of cash on the stage.
“Hey baby.” He rolled onto his stomach and grinned at you, raising himself up on his knees and rolling his body slowly while your eyes raked over him. “How do you like your surprise?”
“It’s real good… shit.” You hissed when he bent forward and pressed his upper body to the stage and wiggled his ass in the air, like a fucking cat. “Baby, I’m gonna fucking wreck you.”
“I know, baby, love surprising you.” He leaned forward and brushed his nose over yours with a low purr, ignoring the groans from the rest of the patrons at the public display of affection to give you a peck on the lips.
“All of you shut up, they’re engaged!” The dj scolded the men who were grumbling about you with an indulgent grin, winking at Ransom when the music died out and he started to collect his tips. “And we all love her, we just tolerate your asses, so be nice to them, and thank you for contributing to their honeymoon fund!”
“If we have to watch him kiss someone, we’d rather it be the bear!” You didn’t see who said it, but it sounded like someone you could be friends with.
Ransom just shrugged and grabbed Ari by his hair, yanking him towards him and giving him an extremely filthy kiss that had you laughing exuberantly. That got some cheers, Ran turning to beam at the crowd before he was hopping off the stage with his tips and running a hand over your neck.
“I’m gonna go change, babe.” He gave you a small yelp when you smacked his ass. “Then the guys want to do one more round of shots with you, and then we can go home and give you the rest of your present.”
“First off, don’t you dare fucking change, are you kidding me Ran?” You snapped one of the straps of his stocking against his hip and groaned at the sound it made. “Yes to shots, and what’s the rest of my present?”
“Fine, I’ll leave on the outfit, but I’m taking these heels off, I haven’t worn spikes in too long and my feet are dying.” He shook his head when you gave him a sullen pout. “And the rest of your present may or may not involve watching a certain video me and the bear took when you had to go to that conference last month.”
“Shit, you actually did it?!” You moaned at the thought of what could possibly be on that video, watching Ransom’s ass as he walked away and biting your lip with an appreciative hum. “Hey, Ar, how hard would it be to install a pole in the white room?”

So what exactly is be more chill? Curious (also ramble all you want I love it).
AHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHA JOIN ME IN BRAINROT HELL THIS FANDOM IS DEAD AND I WILL REVIVE IT OR I WILL FUCKING TRY THROUGH MY HYPERFIXATION OR SO HELP ME
Short version: Local twink with bi swag from New Jersey, Jeremy Heere, eats a tiny computer to be chill and date a girl. A literal chill pill. Computer is now in brain. Cue gay angst, boyf riends, arson, bisexuality, and me having a specific type of favorite character.
Long version: Hoo boy. Prepare for me to scream over gay rights, analyze the fuck out of Jeremy Heere, and sob my eyes out over Michael Mell. I’m not putting this under the cut because I want to recruit people to the fandom because it’s dead and I will bring it to life. Fuck you.
Be More Chill is about a teenager named Jeremy who is a horny bastard with not cis swag. No one’s completely sure WHAT his gender is, but he sure as hell ain’t cis. He is all the genders. He is none of the genders. He has the same gender as Link Legend Of Zelda
The opening number, More Than Survive (WHICH, TO MUSIC NERD OUT, NOT ONLY INTRODUCES US TO OUR WORLD BUT ALSO DOUBLES AS JEREMY’S I-WANT SONG MAKING IT MUSICALLY STRONGER THAN MAJORITY OF THE DISNEY RENAISSANCE FILMS, IF YOU NEED MORE ON THAT SIDEWAYS HAS A GREAT VIDEO, IT’S ABOUT A GOOFY MOVIE AND TALKS ABOUT SONGS AND PURPOSE AND MUSICALS AND SHIT, WATCH IT) introduces Jeremy pretty well, here’s the beginning lyrics because I’m not good at explaining shit
Anyway we meet Chloe, Brooke, and Jenna, we’re not talking about them all you need to know is I do not like Chloe fuck Chloe all my homies hate Chloe. Anyway we meet Rich, he writes “boyf” on Jeremy’s backpack you’ll understand later, we’re quickly introduced to Jake, I don’t remember a ton about Rich and Jake but I think they’re gay, and then we meet MY KIN MY BELOVED, CHRISTINE CANIGULA. IF YOU FORGOT HER NAME WAS CHRISTINE, DON’T WORRY, BECAUSE IT’S SAID SO MANY TIMES IT’S COMICAL. I LOVE HER.
Christine points out that someone wrote Boyf on Jeremy’s backpack and he just fuckin RUNS this show is a comedic masterpiece and also what fucking time period does this show take place in because the slang is all over the place this is a good thing but fuck all that because then we meet the BEST CHARACTER in the ENTIRE SHOW
MICHAEL MELL YOU ARE A NATIONAL TREASURE YOU ARE SERATONIN INCARNATE YOU MAY KNOW HIM FROM THE MENTAL BREAKDOWN SONG BUT THAT IS COMPLETELY IRRELEVANT I RECOMMEND YOU GO LISTEN TO THE ACTUAL SONG (MORE THAN SURVIVE NOT THE BREAKDOWN SONG THAT’S FOR LATER) JUST LISTEN TO HOW FUCKIN HAPPY MICHAEL SOUNDS OR IF YOU JUST WANNA HEAR MICHAEL BE HAPPY HERE’S THE CLIP CHERISH HIS HAPPINESS
Michael is a fan favorite, and THERE’S NO QUESTION WHY. Like, you know that one person who's just so enthusiastic and radiates such positive vibes that they cheer you up just by existing? There are three people I know like that, and they're my best friend, Sonic Wachowski, and Michael Mell. Coincidentally all three of them need therapy but that is completely irrelevant
Anyway Michael’s the best character in the show he’s a stoner he likes vintage stuff he buys slushies from 7-11 I think that in one production of the show it was mentioned he has two moms also he has a rainbow patch on his sleeve AND WE KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS AND THAT’S RELVANT BECAUSE APPARENTLY RICH WROTE “RIENDS” ON MICHAEL’S BACKPACK SO WHEN JEREMY AND MICHAEL STAND NEXT TO EACH OTHER IT SAYS BOYF RIENDS AND IT’S SO FUNNYJHDKJFHGDSHGFS
LOVE WINS LOVE FUCKING WINS THAT’S NOT EVEN HOW GAY THEY ARE LIKE IN THIS SONG JEREMY WENT FROM “Hate not dating anyone ever” TO “HOLY SHIT MICHAEL :D” AND HE’S JUST BOPPIN TO THE MUSIC WHILE MICHAEL SINGS GOD THEY’RE SO IN LOVE BASICALLY EVERY SCENE THEY’RE IN YOU COULD EASILY PUT “LIVE SLUG REACTION” OVER IT THEY ARE LIVING IN MY BRAIN THEY WILL NOT LEAVE OR PAY RENT I AM GONNA GO NUTS OVER THEM LOOK AT THEM THEY’RE IN LOVE
Anyway Christine signs up for the school play and Jeremy’s like “KNOW WHAT I THINK SHE’S CUTE I’M GONNA SIGN UP FOR THE SCHOOL PLAY” and MIchael’s just being the ultimate wingman I love him so much (at one point before Jeremy goes to the play rehersal he’s like “YOU DON’T HAVE TO DO THIS. OF COURSE I’LL MOCK YOU FOREVER IF YOU DON’T.” it’s so funny i love him)
We officially meet Christine and she’s so fucking neurodivergent and it’s amazing, she’s got gigantic feelings about living up to all she’s meant to be and at one point she rants about roles for women in theatre and it’s so fucking funny I kin her intensely <3 (side note when we meet her jeremy’s like “is this where you meet for the play rehersal” and christine’s like “no this is where you meet for the swim team. i’m joking i’m joking” and jeremy’s like “oH WELL I’M JEREMY” and it’s so fucking funny jeremy is so fucking dumb i love him so much) Btw Jake exists but I’m not hyperfixated on him fuck you his parents laundered money now they’re on the run that doesn’t really come into play tho maybe I haven’t watched the musical in ages and probably have ADHD fjdhhfhsdfjsd
Anyway we see Rich again and he’s a little shit and also short (he calls Jeremy “tallass” and Jeremy’s like “WHY DO YOU CALL ME THAT I’M NOT EVEN THAT TALL” fun fact michael’s taller than jeremy which i love so much) (ALSO APPARENTLY RICH IS ONLY 5′5??? THAT’S NOT THAT SHORT??? IS EVERYONE IN THIS SCHOOL JUST 5′10 SHFGJGSHFNHCSBDH) but Rich is confident as hell AND THEN HE FUCKING GASPS LIKE HE’S BEEN PUNCHED IN THE GUT AND THEN HE’S LIKE “HEY. HEY JEREMY MY MAN. DID YOU KNOW THAT IN FRESHMAN YEAR I WAS A LOSER LIKE YOU. YOU WANNA KNOW HOW I STOPPED BEING A LOSER.”
He proceeds to talk about a fuckin thing called a Squip, you can’t even look it up on the internet, it’s a very fun word to say, it’s from Japan, it’s a grey oblong pill, quantum nanotechnology CPU, the quantum computer in the pill will travel through your blood until it implants in your brain and tells you what to do
Jeremy’s like “SO IT’S DRUGS???” And Rich is like IT’S BETTER THAN DRUGS YOU PIECE OF SHIT STONER IT’S FROM JAPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN IT’S A GREY OBLONG PILL QUANTUM PILL QUANTUM NANOTECHNOLOGY CPUUU THEEE QUANTUM COMPUTER IN THE PILL WILL TRAVEL THROUGH YOUR BLOOD UNTIL IT IMPLANTS IN YOUR BRAIN AND IT TELLS YOU WHAT TO DOOOOOO IT TELLS YOU WHAT TO DOOOOOOOOOO IT’S PREPROGRAMMED IT’S AMAZING SPEAKS TO YOU DIRECTLYYYYYYY YOU BEHAVE AS IY’S APPRAISING HELPS YOU ACT CORRECTLYYYYYYY (Squip homophobic) HEEELPS YOOUU TOOO BEEE COOOOOOOOOOOOOL IT HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELPS YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUULE THIS SONG SLAPS SO HARD
Rich keeps pitching the Squip how if Jeremy takes his advice and if he pays the listed prince then you’ll go from sad from interesting to hip yeah your whole life will flip when you have a squip this song slaps so hard and you can get a Squip for the low price of six hundred dollars and then Rich fucking RIFFS TO INSANITY HEYY YEAAH A SQUIIIIIIIIP HEEEEYEAH A SQUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIP HEY YEAH NO LONGER A DRIP WHEN YOU GOT IN YOUR GRIP A SQUIIP A SQUIIIIIIP A SQUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIP THIS SONG HAS NO RIGHT TO GO SO HARD
Anyway this next scene is one I like to call WOA... GAYMERS (YEAH MICHAEL’S BACK CHERISH EVERY BIT OF SCREENTIME HE GETS BECAUSE HE REALLY NEEDED MORE) SO BASICALLY IT’S A SONG WHERE MICHAEL AND JEREMY ARE PLAYING VIDEO GAMES TOGETHER AND IT’S SO FUCKING CUTE
SO AFTER THE BEGINNING VERSE MICHAEL’S LIKE “YEAH SO RICH IS DEF SCAMMING YOU. SUPER WEIRDLY.” AND JEREMY’S LIKE “BUT WHAT IF HE’S NOT THO, ALL I HAVE TO DO IS BRING THE GUY WHO BULLIES ME SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS OKAY YEAH HE’S SCAMMING ME I’M DOOMED TO BE A LOSER UNTIL THE END OF TIME AND BEYOND” AND MICHAEL’S LIKE “NO WAY NO FUCKING WAY HERE IS WHY YOU ARE WRONG” AND SAYS HE’S COOLER THAN A VINTAGE CASSETTE AND SAYS THAT HIGH SCHOOL BEING SHIT ISN’T A BIG DEAL BECAUSE THEY’RE A TEAM AND IT’S SO CUTE I LOVE YOU MICHAEL MELL JEREMY ALSO LOVES YOU BUT ROMANTICALLY
This song does highlight some differences between Michael and Jeremy that come into play later. The biggest one I take away from it is that Michael’s more... patient than Jeremy. Michael knows he and Jeremy are losers, but Michael owns it, partially because he is sure that in two years, once he and Jeremy get to collage, they’re gonna be cool. In his own words, “guys like us are cool in collage.” Jeremy, on the other hand, doesn’t want to wait for collage to possibly be cool. He feels, in his own words, “stuck on a level, and I wanna move on.” He wants to be cool now, Michael is fine with waiting.
An additional note: we learn in this song that Jeremy’s mom just. Left. And since then, his dad has been depressed as hell. Jeremy probably has a LOT of pent up emotions about the whole thing (”You heard from her?” “No. And who cares? It’s like, Mom moved on, why can’t he?”).
BUT FUCK THAT BECAUSE AT ONE POINT JEREMY’S AFOREMENTIONED DAD COMES IN AND SAYS, AND I QUOTE “IS THAT A GIRL? ARE YOU IN HERE WITH A GIRL? OH HI MICHAEL” WHICH. FHSDHNFHDSBHBJS EVERYONE KNOWS THEY’RE IN LOVE RICH KNOWS JEREMY’S DAD KNOWS THE ONLY ONE WHO DOESN’T KNOW IS THE IDIOTS THEMSELVES
ANYWAY MICHAEL IS ESTABLISHED TO HAVE ABANDONMENT ISSUES BECAUSE JEREMY’S LIKE “YO WE DON’T HAVE TO GIVE THE MONEY TO RICH WE COULD JUST GO TO HIS BUYER AND SEE IF IT CHECKS OUT” AND MICHAEL’S LIKE “IF IT DOES WILL YOU BE TOO COOL FOR UH FOR VIDEO GAMES” AND THEN THERE’S THIS
THAT’S GAY THAT’S SO FUCKING GAY THEY’RE SO IN LOVE I’M SO NORMAL OVER THEM OH OH OH AND I’M P SURE THERE’S A VERSION OF THE SONG WHERE THE LYRIC IS “HIGH SCHOOL’S PERVERSE BUT WITHOUT YOU IT’D BE SO MUCH WORSE” WHICH IS SO MUCH GAYER
ANYWAY THE SONG ENDS AFTER ONE LAST REPEAT OF THE CHORUS (THE CHORUS FORESHADOWS THINGS I WILL NOT ELABORATE) AND YOU END WITH THE IMPRESSION THAT WOW. THEY’RE GAY.
Side note let’s talk about how fucking stupid Jeremy and Michael are because I find it hilarious. Jeremy really went “WELP NO ONE WANTS TO FUCK ME, GUESS I’LL EAT A FUCKIN COMPUTER” and Michael was like “WELL IF WE TAKE THE MONEY TO NOT OUR BULLY AND JEREMY WON’T BE TOO COOL FOR UH VIDEO GAMES I SEE NOTHING ELSE WRONG WITH THIS PLAN” like they both agreed “Ah yes, eating a shady computer from Japan that implants in your brain and tells you what to do is a completely rational idea” and it was only later that they went “Waaiit a minute. Maybe eating a supercomputer from Japan that can't be looked up on the internet that we bought in the back of a shoe store for 400 dollars in cash that the dealer said 'wasn't exactly legal'. Was a bad idea." they’re both fuckign stupid I love them so much
Anyway Jeremy and Michael go and get the Squip which looks like a Tictac, and they learn they gotta take it with Mountain Dew. Don’t ask why. So next day, Jeremy takes the squip and it is inneffective and he’s like “i wasted my bar mitzvah money on a wintergreen tictac (side note this confirms he’s jewish!) leave me to mourn in my chili fries forever” and then eternal ray of sunshine Michael Mell’s like “OKAY I’LL BE BACK IN FIVE MINUTES BECAUSE I AM GOING TO GET SOMETHING CALLED CRYSTAL PEPSI. IT’S LIKE REGULAR PEPSI. JUST CLEAR.” AND HE’S SO FUCKING EXCITED ABOUT IT ESPECIALLY THE FACT THAT IT WAS DISCONTINUED IN THE 90S (hehe chekhov’s gun) HE IS NEURODIVERGENT I WOULD KILL AND DIE FOR HIM
Anyway in the next scene Jeremy tries talking to Christine and then he fuckgn dies
So basically Jeremy has a bit of a seizure and the squip turns out to have worked all along and it looks like Keanu Reaves for A Reason. What is that reason? FUCK YOU IT’S FUNNY (AND THE SQUIP’S BRIEFLY LIKE “KEANU REAVES IS MY DEFAULT MODE YOU CAN ALSO SET ME FOR: SEAN CONNERY. JACK NICKELSON. SEXY ANIME FEMALE UHUHU” THAT IS A DIRECT QUOTE AND IT’S SO FUCKING FUNNY I LOVE THIS MUSICAL)
ANYWAY THERE’S A SONG WHERE THE SQUIP’S AN ASSHOLE AND FUCKING MENTALLY RIPS INTO JEREMY UNDER THE GUISE OF “HELPING HIM.” I’M GONNA KILL IT. LIKE IT TELLS JEREMY THAT “EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU IS SO TERRIBLE, EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU MAKES ME WANNA DIE” JESUS FUCKING CHRIST (at least there’s a bit of the song that’s so very stim so don’t freak out and don’t resist and have no doubt if i assist youu wiiiiiiill be more chill it is so stim)
ALSO THE SQUIP CASTS LIKE. A HALLUCINATION THING???? WHERE ALL THE STUDENTS REINFORCE TO JEREMY THAT EVERYTHING ABOUT HIM SUCKS AND EVERYONE HATES HIM ACTUALLY WHERE THE FUCK IS MICHAEL WE NEED HIM TO SMACK THE SQUIP IN THE FACE WITH MOUNTAIN DEW RED
(I just wanna share this post because it’s so fucking funny and also gay rights, also here’s an animatic of that song, the ending has implications but dON’T WORRY MICHAEl’S COMPLETELY FINE AND OKAY AND ALIVE)
The Squip tells Jeremy to wear an Eminem shirt, we briefly see Chloe and Brooke again, we get Jeremy being an awkward dramatic dork I love him, and there’s a song that makes your local sex repulsed ace who is also a lesbian in love with Brooke Lohst Very Mentally Confused so let’s ignore that and also its later reprise because the later reprise is just. Bad. Not musically it’s just so uncomfortable and i hate it so much so no <3 Anyway we haven’t seen Michael in a while weird haha I’m sure it’s nothing <3 Squip says Michael left the mall it must be the truth <3
Anyway we get a reprise to the song where the Squip was an emotionally abusive asshole (strong wording, but correct), and here we see ITS RIPPING INTO JEREMY FUCKING WORKED. Because the Squip repeats the “Everything about you is so terrible, everything about you makes me wanna die" thing, and Jeremy echoes, saying everything about him is so terrible, everything about him makes him wanna die (Michael was totally yelling at Jeremy “HERE IS AN ALPHEBETICAL LIST OF ALL THE REASONS YOU ARE WRONG HEY HEY CAN YOU HEAR ME” :)). The Squip’s manipulations have worked, leaving Jeremy in the perfect condition to obey its every command who wants to kill a tictac with me
(Anyway here’s an animatic of THAT song because it’s GREAT)
Anyway next day the Squip kinkshames Jeremy and decides he’s gonna do pushups (because i have boyf riends brainrot here is a headcanon related to that because them) and then we get a ballad from Christine where she talks about how there’s this guy she passes in the halls every day, and she thought she’d had him clocked but now something’s different about him, and he’s gone from a GUY THAT YOU’D NEVER BE INTO INTO A GUY THAT YOU’D KINDA BE INTO FROM A GUY THAT I’D NEVER BE INTO INTO A GUY THAT I’D KINDA BE INTO IS HE WORTH IT JEREMYYYYYYYYYYYYY I DON’T ALWAYS RELATE TO OTHER PEOPLE MY AGE EXCEPT WHEN I’M ON THE STAGE AND THERE ARE SO MANY CHANGED THAT I’M GOING THROUGH AND WHY’M I TELLING THIS TO YOU GUESS THERE’S A PART OF ME THAT WANTS TO (uwu) I GUESS A PART OF ME WANTS TO WHO KNEW I GUESS THAT PART OF ME WANTS TO SIT WITH YOU I GUESS THAT PART OF ME WANTS TO WHO KNEW I GUESS THAT PART OF ME LIKES TO TALK TO YOU I GUESS THAT PART OF ME LIKES TO WHOOO KNEW I GUESS THAT PART O FME LIKES TO HANG WITH YOU I GUESS THAT PART OF ME- BACK TO PLAY REHERSAL, I KNOW THAT IT’S WEIRD, BUT IT’S TOTALLY TRUE... THE GUY THAT I’D KINDA BE INTO... (that guy that you’d kinda be into) YEAH THAT GUY THAT I’D KINDA BE INTO IIIIIIIIS...
JAKE
YEAH IN A SLIGHTLY UNEXPECTED TWIST, CHRISTINE’S INTO JAKE AND NOT JEREMY. FUN.
So the Squip’s like “Aight if you wanna be with Christine you gotta reboot your reputation you gotta get an upgrade (UPGRADE) upgrade okay not yet
So the Squip makes Jeremy cry because it can automatically do that apparently, Brooke shows up and comforts Jeremy, and then we learn EMINEM IS FUCKING DEAD AND JEREMY’S LIKE “SQUIP DID DID YOU kILL EMINEM” AND IT HAS THE SAME ENERGY AS “DID YOU FUCK MY WIFE” THIS SHOW IS A COMEDIC MASTERPIECE, ANYWAY THE SQUIP DIDN’T EXACTLY KILL EMINEM, and then we get a BANGER SONG CALLED UPGRADE AND IT FUCKING SLAPS
UPGRADE IS BASICALLY JUST THE SQUIP BEING LIKE HEY JEREMY YOUR LIFE WAS SO PITIFUL BEFORE BUT NOW IT’S TIME TO GO ALL THE WAY AND MORE YOU GOTTA GET AN UPGRADE UPGRADE UPGRADE GOTTA GET AN UPGRADE UPGRADE UPGRADE DON’T WORRY ABOUT THE GUILT YOU FEEL (sus) JUST TAKE A BREATHE AND SEAL THE DEAL DAMN GOTTA GET AN UPGRAAAAAAAAAADE YOU GOTTA GET AN UPGRAAAAAAAAAAA-A-AAAADE
Anyway Jake kinda asks Christine to hang out at his place, the Squip keeps egging Jeremy on, then Jeremy’s like “OKAY THERE ARE TOO MANY VOICES IN MY HEAD RN CAN EVERYONE JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP AND LEAVE ME ALONE AND LET ME THINK. INCLUDING YOU YOU FUCKIN TICTAC.” So the Squip fucks off (not for long unfortunately)
And then, for the first time in a while, we see Michael, and he’s. Kinda pissed at Jeremy, saying he’s been “avoiding him all day”. Jeremy’s confused as fuck and then realizes HE HASN’T SEEN MICHAEL SINCE THE SQUIP ACITVATED, so he’s like “HEY SQUIP WHY HAVEN’T I SEEN MICHAEL SINCE YOU SHOWED UP” and the Squip reveals it’s something called optic nerve blocking. It has control over Jeremy’s vision, so it has been blocking Michael from Jeremy. He’s a link to “Jeremy 1.0″, so if Jeremy wants to upgrade, he’s gotta make sacrifices. Squip homophobic
Michael realizes what happened - the squip worked. And god he just. Fuckin LIGHTS UP AND HE’S SO EXCITED ABOUT IT HE’S LIKE “JEREMY THAT’S AMAZING WE GOTTA TEST IT OUT WE GOTTA CELEBRATE WE GOTTA WE GOTTA GET STONED IN MY BASEMENT” AND HE’S SO EXCITED AND HAPPY WHICH MAKES WHAT HAPPENS NEXT SO VERY PAINFUL
Now Upgrade has a last verse where Jeremy makes his choice, but it was replaced with a new song in the Broadway version that I find MUCH better so I’m gonna talk about that specifically, it’s called Loser Geek Whatever, and holy shit it’s so good and heartbreaking oh my god I need to highlight specific lyrics just to show you how good it is
“It’s not only school that’s rough, being lonely’s stupid tough” and “The problem has always been me” those lyrics specifically affect me on an emotional level that I can’t explain like ow fuck I feel that so much being lonely is the worst fuckign feeling in the entire world
Alright gay people get ready for the promised Jeremy analysis
This song serves as a deeper dive into Jeremy’s mind, a stronger I-want song than More Than Survive. More Than Survive works well enough, but it doesn’t go SUPER in depth about Jeremy’s wants and motivations. More Than Survive is just... Surface-level wants. Jeremy’s surface level want and motivation is he wants to be with Christine and not get targeted by bullies and shit, and that’s shown very clearly through More Than Survive.
Meanwhile Loser Geek Whatever goes right to the root of Jeremy’s issues - he’s really fucking lonely. His self esteem is in the ground. His entire life, he’s been nothing but a failure. A weirdo. A loser. His life fucking sucks. And his mom leaving (as mentioned earlier) probably didn’t make anything better.
Something I find VERY interesting is that Jeremy thinks his instincts and his free will has made his life SUCK. So he’s giving it up for a chance - for a chance - at having something different. And that is FASCINATING to me. LIke... Jeremy’s giving up who he really is and his free will to conform to what the Squip says is best for him to be “cool.” Like that is terrifying, but... Understandable and strangely real, in a way.
Now this might just be my aromanticism and not knowing what crushes are like talking, but Jeremy’s loneliness might contribute to why he wants Christine so bad (aside from just teenage crush things).
Jeremy wants human connection. He wants more friends aside from just Michael. Michael’s amazing, but can’t really... Understand Jeremy’s loneliness. Michael absolutely ADORES being weird. He owns it, he loves it. He doesn’t (openly) care a lot about the social consequences of being weird, he's good with just vibing and having a good time playing video games with his best friend. As long as he’s got Jeremy, he’s good.
Meanwhile, Jeremy cares a LOT about social consequences, and he kinda resents being weird. Being weird keeps him as just a forgettable blip at the bottom of the school social map. Sure, he’s free to be himself, but at what cost? Being bullied, made fun of? Being the loser? He doesn’t want that anymore. He feels forgotten, isolated, and alone. Freaking out is his okay, and it sucks. There’s a huge disconnect between Jeremy and Michael’s mindsets - Michael loves being weird, Jeremy doesn’t. Michael is patient enough to wait until collage to be cool, Jeremy isn’t.
Side note. The lyric “I’m ready, set, I’m player one” hurts specifically because it has been confirmed that. When Michael and Jeremy play video games. Michael always is Player One.
So you see where this is going.
You see what Jeremy’s choice is gonna be.
Doesn’t make it hurt any less.
NOW I’M GONNA SAY QUICKLY - UPGRADE FUCKING SLAPS, BUT THE ENTIRETY OF LGW IS, IN MY HUMBLE OPINION, BETTER THAN THE LAST VERSE OF UPGRADE WHERE HE MAKES HIS CHOICE. LET ME JUST SHOW YOU THE LAST VERSE OF UPGRADE. THE ENTIRE LAST VERSE OF UPGRADE.
...Yeah it’s not as good imo. Maybe I’m biased because I saw the Broadway version first, because there are no bootlegs of the Two River recording, but I still think Loser Geek Whatever is WAY better than the end of Upgrade.
In Upgrade, Jeremy is COMPLETELY certain that yeah, he’s gonna do this no matter what. Which. SIR. YOU ARE CUTTING OFF YOUR BEST FRIEND???? YOU DON’T JUST SOUND COLD AND CERTAIN AT THAT???? And all the interesting stuff that Loser Geek Whatever talked about - Jeremy giving up his free will, Jeremy’s loneliness, Jeremy’s guilt that he brushes off because the Squip’s better at making choices for him - is BARELY talked about.
In Loser Geek Whatever, we get context to Jeremy choosing to abandon Michael. Jeremy hates feeling weird, Michael loves it. Jeremy actually thinks “If I get everything I want, am I gonna be able to act like I didn’t hurt my one real friend?" But he excuses it with the thought that all his instincts have gotten him into trouble alone, all his thoughts have made him worse, so if the Squip thinks that cutting Michael off is the best decision... Well, what’s smarter and better at making decisions? A supercomputer who knows basically everything in the entire world, or a weird, awkward, nerdy loser who’s only fucked up with every choice he’s ever made?
In Loser Geek Whatever, Jeremy’s choice comes off as something he’s not entirely certain of, but the Squip is better at making choices than he is, and the Squip’s been right all the time so far, so if it wants him to abandon Michael... That’s what’s best, right? Yes, it’s selfish, but Jeremy’s been the loser all his life and he hates it. He wants- no, needs something to change. His status quo sucks, and he can’t just wait two years for them to be cool in collage for something new. Plus... Easier to pretend it didn’t happen if he can’t see Michael. Easier to just reap the rewards if he can’t see the consequences.
Meanwhile in Upgrade, it just comes off as. A huge dick move. Which it is, it is objectively a huge dick move. But it’s a more UNDERSTANDABLE dick move that has some EXPLANATION in Loser Geek Whatever. Jeremy’s decision has NUANCE.
And ALSO this is shown REALLY WELL through just the delivery of “Optic nerve blocking on” so lemme ramble about that real quick
So Two River Jeremy was played by Will Connolly and Broadway Jeremy was played by Will Roland, they're both great in the role, but here I think that Roland’s delivery of the line was better. In Connolly’s delivery, his voice is more... Cold. There’s no real emotion behind it, just certainty. Which I’ve yelled about why that’s not a good choice. But in Roland’s delivery, Jeremy’s voice is breaking and shaky. He doesn’t sound like he wants to do it. It’s fucking heartbreaking it gets me so bad
Anyway that’s the end of Act One, I do not remember everything after this just moments that wounded my soul jdshfanjfghjdgasjcd
So there’s a Halloween party that’s in every Broadway high school there’s always a fucking Halloween party or some kinda party, it’s pretty standard, ONE THING I WILL NOTE: Rich shows up, and he’s looking for something called Mountain Dew Red. He is VERY DESPERATE to find some Mountain Dew Red. Like, HE IS CLEARLY NOT OKAY. Anyway I’m sure that will not come into play ever
Then there’s the Reprise To That Song That Makes Me Uncomfortable LET’S IGNORE THAT HAHA SQUIP GOT MESSED UP BY ALCOHOL JEREMY GOT CHASED INTO A BATHROOM AND IS HIDING SURELY NOTHING WILL GO WRONG NOTHING BAD EVER HAPPENS TO BE MORE CHILL CHARACTERS IN BATHROOMS ESPECIALLY WHEN ONE OF THEM IS WEARING A BLACK SHIRT THAT SAYS “CREEPS” WITH GREEN LETTERS HAHAHAHA ANYWAY MICHAEL’S BACK LET’S GO GAYS LET’S GET READY FOR THE MOST EMOTIONALLY CHARGED SCENE IN THE ENTIRE MUSICAL
So yeah. Michael’s back. And he’s not happy. He’s really fucking hurt and kinda pissed at Jeremy. Like, he had a whole speech in his head getting mad at Jeremy (haha i kin you michael. everyone who knows what happens next is now very concerned anyway). Jeremy’s like “damn. I missed you.” Also at one point Michael’s like “You’re speechless. Squip got your tongue?” which I just like that line a lot and also it leads to Jeremy being like “No it’s off” AND THEN MICHAEL’S LIKE “That explains why you’re talking to me” OW THIS POOR KID
So Michael talks about the Squip, and how he’s done a lot of research on it, and points out how it’s REALLY FUCKING WEIRD how there’s NOTHING ON THE INTERNET about it. Like, what’s not on the internet? (a full video bootleg of the two river cast of be more chill that’s what jdshfjhds) So eventually, Michael found a story from a dude he was playing Warcraft with, and how that guy’s brother went from a straight D student to going to Harvard. Next thing that happened to him? WELL HE’S IN A MENTAL HOSPITAL! HE “WENT NUTS”! JESUS CHRIST!
Michael starts calling out how SHADY the whole Squip thing is (Michael Mell my wonderful gaymer you helped him get the fucking squip <3 I stand by my headcanon that they’re both stupid as fuck they have one braincell between them they usually have half each Michael just has the whole braincell at this moment in time). How it’s weird how you can’t look it up on the internet, how it’s weird how it was just floating around in New Jersey... I mean, it’s an extremely advanced supercomputer. There’s so much they don’t know about it. Who made them? How did it get here? How do they know what it’s really doing to Jeremy? What it’s doing to his head?
And Jeremy really does not want to hear it. The Squip has helped him. The Squip gave him one small chance, one small bit of luck, a chance to escape the hell of being easily forgotten, at the bottom of the school hierarchy, and there’s no way he’s gonna let it go. He does not want to go back to being the loser.
He deflects, saying Michael’s just jealous, he’s just pissed Jeremy has one. You know, the universe owed him one. High school has been hell, he deserves to be able to go through life without worry. And sure, maybe some guy’s squip drove him crazy, but there is no guarantee that’ll happen to him!!
And then Michael reveals that it wasn’t the Squip that drove him crazy.
He went crazy trying to get it out.
There’s a moment of silence, before Jeremy says that he knows it won’t happen to him then, because why would he wanna remove the Squip?
Jeremy tries to leave, but Michael steps in front of him. Jeremy tells him to move. Michael asks what he’ll do if he doesn’t.
Six words later, Michael’s mental state shatters. Six words later, Jeremy is back with the partygoers. Six words later, Michael is alone.
With that, Jeremy leaves Michael in the bathroom by himself.
Leading to the BEST FUCKING SONG in the ENTIRE MUSICAL. That isn’t a controversial statement, either. Someone tells you “Yeah this song is the best in the musical” and basically everyone will agree.
Because for five minutes, the show stops, and gives Michael a GUT PUNCH OF A SONG.
Michael In The Bathroom.
There’s a VERY HIGH CHANCE you’ve at least heard of it. There are LOADS of animatics of it for basically every fandom except Omori which personally angers me but we’re not talking about that WE’RE TALKING ABOUT MICHAEL.
This song. This song gets me. It fucking shattered me and everyone who listens to it. This song takes Michael from “Best friend who got left behind” to “This POOR KID has ABANDONMENT ISSUES and has just been LEFT BEHIND and now he’s having a FUCKING MENTAL BREAKDOWN” BECAUSE YEP! THIS IS THE MENTAL BREAKDOWN SONG! And HOO BOY, is it painful. It is such an EMOTIONAL GUT-PUNCH because up to this point, Michael’s just been a chill guy who got mad at Jeremy for leaving him behind for popularity and an evil tictac, and then the show gives him a fucking I-want song where he completely breaks down and at one point has a sensory overload and then breaks down sobbing and wishes he’d never been born and it fucking hURTS and I just I HAVE TO SHOW YOU THE LYRICS IT IS THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN UNDERSTAND
FUCK
FUCK
To get a bit personal (skip over this paragraph if you don’t wanna read a mini-vent (/nm if you do)): I thought I related to “being lonely’s stupid tough” in Loser Geek Whatever, but then MITB comes on and the second line is “I could stay right here or disappear, and nobody’d even notice at all” and I feel like I’ve been punched in the gut with how much that fucking called me out. It’s part of the reason I personally ADORE this song - because I can’t think of any other songs that have captured my emotions so well. I mean, obviously I haven’t had a friend get a supercomputer implanted in their brain and they started getting more popular and they literally blocked me from their vision so I tried confronting them with my worries and they ignored my concerns and called me a loser and left me behind to have a mental breakdown, but. A lot of times, I do feel really lonely, even when talking to my friends. I feel replaceable and forgettable, like I could be removed from the situation, removed from the group, hell, removed from the world, and no one would notice. No one would care. They’d just continue on with their lives like nothing happened. Like I never existed. And I’m sure I’m not alone. I’m sure that basically everyone has somewhat related to this song at some point.
OKAY TIME FOR ANALYSIS. WELCOME TO MY THERAPY SESSION /HJ
So before we begin, there’s something very cool in the first line that I like, and I’m probably reaching, but here we go: Michael feeling like he could disappear, and no one would notice... KINDA PARALLELS JEREMY.
So in More Than Survive, there are the lyrics “I don’t want to be a hero/Just want to stay in the line”, “I navigate the dangerous hall/Focus on a poster there on the wall/Avoiding any eye contact at all/And trying hard to remain unseen”, and “I’m never gonna be the cool guy/I’m more the one who’s left out/Of all the characters at school/I am not the one who the story’s about”. Just a general theme of feeling forgettable that’s furthered by the Squip Song, where Rich says that on the school social map, Jeremy is “just a blip.” In Be More Chill Part 2, the Squip says “You won’t feel left out or unsure”. Bringing this to Loser Geek Whatever, there’s the lyrics “Think I felt inconsequential/Since middle school began/I knew I had no potential/To be the leading man” and “If Brooke can look me in the eye/Like I’m some normal, handsome guy”. And the themes in LGW of Jeremy being lonely adds to the vibes that Jeremy feels like he could be forgotten and no one would care. And right in this song, Michael says “I could stay right here or disappear/And nobody’d even notice at all”.
These parallels are very interesting. It shows that Michael and Jeremy have the same worst fear - being overlooked, forgotten, isolated, alone. It’s just that Jeremy’s scared of being forgotten by society at large, and Michael’s scared of being forgotten by Jeremy. And Jeremy fights to not feel like that. He fights to not be a blip at the bottom of the school social map. But in doing so, he leaves Michael behind. In his fight to not feel forgotten and isolated and alone, Jeremy feels he must make his best friend feel forgotten and isolated and alone, and that is FASCINATING. Like... BMC’s writing can be weak in places, but in this song (well basically all the scenes with Michael, but this song especially), it fucking hits and it hits hard.
Now moving on to the rest of the song, because that was all from the first two fucking lines.
So, one thing I get from this song is that Michael does not talk about his feelings. At least, not around people. This was shown in Two Player Game (”will you be too cool for... for video games?”), and it’s leaned into more here. “I’ll wait as long as I need, until my face is dry/Or I’ll just blame it on weed or something in my eye.” Hell, even Michael only breaking down in the bathroom, in a private place where no one can see, supports this.
Now for Michael’s sensory overload (the knock-knock-knock-knock part). I love that part so much, and not because it’s stimmy like how I react to most of the little parts of songs I love, but because it feels realistic to me. Feeling like everything’s too loud, too overwhelming, too fast. It’s an awful feeling, and this song captures it perfectly I feel so seen by this song
The way I see the “But I can’t hear knocking anymore” line is that there genuinely was someone knocking and they left, though some people thing it was a hallucination. But whether the knocking was real or not doesn’t really matter. What matters is how Michael interpreted it stopping. And I think that in his wrecked mental state, Michael would interpret someone leaving as “They don’t care. No one cares.”
Is it logical? Absolutely not. But as someone with anxiety, jealousy, and really bad confirmation bias when it comes to what people think of me, I can easily say that when you’re mentally overloaded with pain and loneliness, logic kinda goes out the window. Confirmation bias can be a bitch, especially when it’s confirmation bias for “Everyone hates me actually.”
Michael’s longing for the past is another very relatable thing. I’m pretty sure everyone is nostalgic for some better time. We’re nostalgic for being able to go outside without needing to wear a mask. We’re nostalgic for being able to talk to our friends face-to-face. We’re nostalgic for fandoms that once burned bright that are now just embers. We’re nostalgic for talking with friends we’ve drifted apart from, laughing and joking and enjoying each others company. We yearn for those times when we felt really, truly happy and content, times that we desperately wish would come back, because we want to recapture that feeling.
God, there’s something for everyone in this song. Something anyone can relate to, because this song is, at its core, about loneliness, and as sad as it is to say, loneliness is a common denominator among every human.
If you haven’t listened to the song and you’re wondering why “And there’s no denying, I’m just-” was cut off. IT WAS BECAUSE MICHAEL BROKE DOWN CRYING. SOMEONE GET HIM THERAPY PLEASE OH MY GOD I JUST WANNA HUG HIM
(A quick note: in More Than Survive Reprise, Jeremy says “All in all, a not too heinous day”. The word choice is interesting, because here, Michael says “This is a heinous night”. Continuing with the parallels - as Jeremy becomes “cool,” Michael’s mental state declines.)
And then the song starts building again, starting with Michael wishing he’d fucking KILLED HIMSELF, and then he fucking completely breaks down, hating himself for everything. For coming to the party. For not just staying home. For being seen as just a stoner. For having no one who knows who he really is. Because no one does know who he is, and they don’t care, either. The only person who knew him, really knew him, was Jeremy, and he’s stabbed him in the back and left him behind. He’s just a fucking loser, all alone, crying in the bathroom, and is there a sadder sight than that?
The way the song ends, along with the line “Michael who you don’t know” in every chorus reinforces that Jeremy was really the only person who knew Michael. He knew all Michael’s interests, he loved playing video games with him, he lit up when he saw him in More Than Survive, he was genuinely disappointed when the Squip said Michael left the mall without him, he picked up on Michael’s worries in Two Player Game and comforted him, he wanted both of them to go buy the Squip together, hell, before he took the Squip, he offered to split the Squip between them. Jeremy was literally the only person at school who really knew and genuinely cared about Michael.
But everyone else?
All you know about him is his name.
(also it’s my personal headcanon that brooke came in sobbing because she got cheated on again (don’t ask) and she and michael vented to each other about how they’re been fucked over by this one specific guy because they should be friends)
Anyway that was the most emotional scene in the entire fucking show, if they’d had cut it out for pacing the show would have been so much worse, it elevated Michael from “I would die for you” to “*slaps roof on michael* YOU CAN FIT SO MUCH ANGST IN THIS KID *sobbing*”, it’s definitely part of why he’s such a fan favorite, it makes him more relatable with all the elements of loneliness, it’s incredible, it’s amazing, please listen to this fucking song
So as much as I’d love to cry over Michael forever, we gotta get to the happy ending so let’s cut back to the main character
Jeremy talks to Christine and they make weird noises together and it’s so fucking cute they’re such neurodivergent dorks, Rich is still looking for Mountain Dew Red, Jeremy asks Christine out and she’s like “Tbh I don’t think I’m ready for a relationship until I know who I am” which SO VALID QUEEN, Squip turns back on and tells Jeremy HE NEEDS TO LEAVE RIGHT THE FUCK NOW, and then the next thing that happens is arson.
So we get a banger of a song called Smartphone Hour that is very stim. So in it, local gossip Jenna Rolan tells Chloe (who. tried to. uh. sleep with jeremy. thus jeremy and brooke broke up because the squip kinda made jeremy date brooke to get popular which was a major dick move i know i brushed over this let’s ignore that i’m too ace for this bullshit) at the party last night, Rich was acting very not okay. Chloe’s like “Damn, Rich really shouldn’t get so high he’s too short for that” (NO ONE LETS RICH FORGET HE’S SHORT DJHFSHFDS) and Jenna’s like “CHLOE. RICH WASN’T DRUNK. I HEARD FROM THIS GUY THAT HE DIDN’T HAVE A FUCKIN DROP OF ALCOHOL. SO OF FULL SOBER MIND... YOU WANNA KNOW WHAT HE DID... YOU REALLY WANNA KNOW.... HERE YOU GO THEN *beat drop* RICH SET A FIRE AND HE BURNED DOWN THE HOUSE WOAAHHH RICH SET A FIRE AND HE BURNED DOWN THE HOUSE WOAAH I THOUGHT I WAS DREAMING EVERYBODY WAS SCREAMING WHEN RICH SET A FIRE AND HE BURNED DOWN THE HOUSE WHEN RICH SET A FIRE AND HE BURNED DOWN THE HOUUUSE”
The news of Rich spreads like wildfire, pun intended. People start acting like they knew Rich and they feel so bad for him, and Be More Chill says enby rights.
Honestly, I really love this song. Yeah, the lyrics are a bit on the nose, but it’s fun as hell and very stim and I like it a lot.
Meanwhile, Jeremy is really starting to question the Squip. Michael’s words clearly stuck in his mind. He asks why the Squip is here. It could be inside presidents, world leaders, and it’s in some high school student? Why? What does it have to gain? Squip’s like “Bro it’s my goal to help you and improve your life” and Jeremy’s like “OH WELL THAT’S WORKED OUT SPLENDID! MY BEST FRIEND HATES ME! I HURT BROOKE! CHRISTINE ISN’T INTO ME!”
AND THEN WE GET A FUCKING INCREDIBLE VILLAIN SONG CALLED THE PITIFUL CHILDREN WHERE THE SQUIP IS LIKE “DUDE I’VE HELPED YOU SO MUCH BY SHOCKING YOU WHEN YOU SLOUCH OR DISOBEY ME, BUT IF YOU WANT TO ACHIEVE YOUR GOALS, WE NEED TO SYNC UP WITH THE ENTIRE SCHOOL. WE NEED TO HELP THEM ALL YOUR PEERS ARE JUST SO INCOMPLEEEETE YOU CAN’T SEE IT BUT THEY’RE ALL IN PAAAAIN THEIR OPERATING SYSTEM’S OBSOLEEEETE SO LET’S COMPLETE THE CHAINS AND GET INSIDE THOSE BRAINS LET’S SAVE THE PITIFUL CHILDREN WOOOOAAAHHH LET’S SAVE THE PITIFUL CHILDREN WOAAAAAHHHH LET’S TEACH THE PITIFUL CHILDREN WHO HAVEN’T A CLUE JUST WHAT TO DOOOOO HEELP THEM TO HEEEELP YOU” GOD WHY DO ALL THE SONGS IN THIS sHOW SLAP SO HARD AND THIS SONG HAS THE SQUIP MAKING ROBOT NOISES AND IT’S AMAZING
Anyway in this song Jenna gets squipped and we learn that she wants people to be as interested in her life as she is in theirs and no one is and that hurts god I feel you queen, also Rich somehow got enough Squips for the ENTIRE SCHOOL. SO YEAH. NOT HARD TO GUESS WHAT THE SQUIP WANTS. If everyone is squipped, they can all follow orders, Jeremy gets his dreams. It would be a good plan if it weren’t so fUCKEd UP AND EVIL
(so I should mention there’s been a subplot of a play)
We cut to Jeremy’s house and Jeremy has an argument with his dad, who is very understandably concerned about him. Jeremy’s acting VERY different, and it’s worrying him. Jeremy blows up at him for not acting like a dad since their mom left, just “waiting around for mom to get back.” Get therapy
Jeremy’s dad then proves himself to be very cool by realizing that him just wallowing in depression and not being an actual dad has been hurting his son, so he’s going to pull himself out of it, put on his fucking pants (don’t ask), and he’s gonna actually help his fucking son and this song is deadass called the Pants Song and it has no right to slap so hard
We cut to MIchael and he’s burning a bunch of mementos from his and Jeremy’s friendship, AND THEN JEREMY’S DAD SHOWS UP AND DEADASS ASKS MICHAEL “DO YOU LOVE HIM.” MICHAEL DOES NOT ANSWER, HE’S JUST LIKE “😳 what”. HE IS HAVING A REALIZATION. LESS THAN A MINUTE LATER IS THE LYRIC “BUT I’M NOT WHAT HE WANTS” “BUT YOU’RE JUST WHAT HE NEEDS” THIS ISN’T A FUCKING JOKE THIS HAPPENS
MICHAEL
Every day we stray further and further from Michael heterosexuality this is a good thing
Anyway Michael agrees that you know what? If he’s gonna try harder to be Jeremy’s friend (michael. michael.) then Jeremy’s dad has to try harder to be Jeremy’s dad and they both resolve to be better for Jeremy and it’s beautiful and amazing and I love it
Anyway the play subplot I’ve brushed over is happening and rapidly colliding with the main plot. So basically it’s Midsummer Night’s Dream with zombies and it’s amazing. Anyway Jeremy shows up and goes to Christine is like “Hey hey Christine, you know how you weren’t gonna date anyone because you needed to figure out who you were? And you know how you love play rehersal because you know what comes next and you know what to do? WELL, what if you knew who you were? What if it was like play rehersal all the time? All you need to do is take this thing from Japan and you’ll know who you are!”
In the bootleg I watched Christine KNEW what a Squip was because it hurt someone she cared about and I think that was an EXCELLENT choice and wasn’t in the og apparently and whoever added Christine knowing about the Squip was a genius but that’s irrelevant. The important thing is that she’s like “That sounds awful??? I wanna figure myself out without the help of some fuckin pill???” and there’s this FANTASTIC moment where Jeremy says the Squip will help Christine be better, and Christine asks “What’s wrong with me now?” IT’S GREAT I LOVE THIS SHOW
Anyway Christine exits, and Jeremy’s like “SHE’S RIGHT, I CAN’T DO THIS, WE NEED TO GET RID OF THE SQUIPS” but remember how Jenna was squpped? Yeah, Jeremy’s two braincells function for a minute and he’s like “WAIT A MINUTE. THE SQUIP SINGING ABOUT HOW WE’RE GONNA 'SAVE THE PITIFUL CHILDREN’ AND ‘GET INSIDE THOSE BRAINS’ AND HAVING A WHOLE SHOEBOX FULL OF SQUIPS. PROBABLY MEANT THE SQUIP IS GONNA GIVE THE WHOLE SCHOOL A SQUIP. WELL THAT AIN’T GOOD.”
Anyway the Squip’s gone full evil AI, we learn the drama teacher who has one of the best lines in the musical (”WE WILL NOW TAKE A FIVE MINUTE BREAK. SO THAT I CAN EAT A HOT POCKET.”) has been squipped, Jeremy’s like “ALCOHOL MESSED YOU UP I’LL GET DRUNK” and the Squip’s like “LMAO YOU CAN’T BE DRUNK FOREVER” then Jeremy remembers how desperate Rich was to find Mountain Dew Red and was like “WAIT WHAT IF THAT SQUIPS WHAT IF THAT TURNS OFF THE SQUIP” and the Squip is like “DUH??? WHY DO YOU THINK IT WAS DISCONTINUED??? AND THERE’S NO WAY YOU CAN GET IT BECAUSE YOU DON’T HAVE LIKE A FUCKIN TIME MACHINE” and Jeremy’s like “HA JOKES ON YOU MY BOYF RIEND IS NEURODIVERGENT AND LOVES COLLECTING 90S SOFT DRINKS <3” and then Squip’s like “HA TOO BAD YOU BROKE UP WITH YOUR BOYF RIEND” Squip homophobic everything’s going wrong the Squip’s voice is distorted Brooke and Chloe are both Squipped Jeremy tried calling Michael but is currently fighting for control of his body all hope is lost AND THEN IN THE NICK OF TIME
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA FUCK YOU SQUIP LOVE WINS THE BOYF IS HERE
SO MICHAEL HAS SHOWED UP TO SAVE HIS BOYF HE WAS IN THE AUDIENCE LIKE “WAIT A MINUTE THIS IS TOO DAMN GOOD FOR A SCHOOL PLAY THEY’VE ALL BEEN SQUIPPED HAVEN’T THEY” AND JEREMY WHO WAS SO FUCKING HAPPY TO SEE HIM ALREADY IS LIKE “YOU CAME TO SEE ME IN THE SCHOOL PLAY? 🥹” WHICH IS SO GAY THEY WERE IN LOVE AND YOU CAN’T TELL ME OTHERWISE AND MICHAEL’S LIKE “YEP AND I EVEN BROUGHT MOUNTAIN DEW RED”
So Michael’s like “AIGHT. I HAVE MOUNTAIN DEW RED. BUT I NEED AN APOLOGY FOR YOU KNOW, ABANDONING ME” and Jeremy’s like “MICHAEL I LOV EYOU BUT THE WORLD IS ABOUT TO END” and Michael’s like “JEREMY YOU FUCKING ABANDONED ME AND I HAD A PANIC ATTACK IN THE BATHROOM I KINDA NEED AN APOLOGY BECAUSE I’M FUCKING MAD???”
So Jeremy’s about to apologize but Squip homophobic and blocks Jeremy’s vocal chords so he can’t say it AND THEN MAKES HIM FIGHT MICHAEL AND MICHAEL REVEALS HE DOES CARE ABOUT POPULARITY HE JUST KNOWS IT WON’T HAPPEN SO HE JUST VIBES WHICH ME TOO KING I KNOW I HAVE NO CHANCE SO I AM JUST HERE TO HAVE A GOOD TIME WHICH I DON’T MOST OF THE TIME BUT TRUST ME WERE I NOT NERFED BY DEPRESSION I WOULD BE A GOD
So Jeremy fights the Squip for control like crazy, apologizes (HE SHOULD HAVE BROKEN DOWN RAMBLING ABOUT HOW MUCH HE’D FUCKED UP AND MICHAEL SHOULD HAVE CUT HIM OFF BY RUNNING AT HIM AND HUGGING HIM WE COULD’VE HAD IT ALL), Jake gets squipped and he’s like “LIVIN THE UPGRADE UPGRADE GOD I LOVE ME” which I feel that because occasionally I feel like I could kill god but none of that matters in my brain because Michael is holding Jeremy
Your honor they are in love
Anyway Chloe and Brooke show up, and Jeremy realizes that there’s a few drops of Mountain Dew Red left, and there’s a rEPRISE OF TWO PLAYER GAME AS THEY SNEAK ACROSS THE ROOM AND GET THE MDR THEY ARE IN LOVE
Jenna Rolan shows up (the script refers to her as the final boss which is just funny), Michael gets dragged away by the Squip zombies, Squip stops Jeremy from drinking the MDR, and then Christine shows up and AH FUCK SHE’S SQUIPPED AND IS IN LOVE WITH JEREMY NOW APPARENTLY
So upon seeing this, upon seeing that technically, he’s gotten what he originally wanted, Jeremy’s like “KNOW WHAT. FUCK IT.” and gives Christine the Mountain Dew Red, under the assumption that it’s gonna free her and her alone.
BOY IS HE WRONG! Christine takes the MDR and everyone starts screaming. Christine starts screaming, Jake starts screaming, Jenna starts screaming, Michael starts screaming but out of having no fucking clue what is going on, Jeremy starts screaming, there are a lot of J names in this show and I just noticed that, and somehwere Rich probably starts screaming as well. So anyway everyone who was Squipped passes out, and the Squip fuckimgn dies it’s great.
Anyway Jeremy wakes up in a hospital bed. Rich is in the same room, and describes losing the Squip as feeling like you “lost a piece of yourself.” Rich is thrilled that the Squip is gone. He then has an epiphany and realized he’s bisexual WOAH HE’S BISEXUAL I DIDN’T KNOW THAT
Anyway Michael shows up, Jeremy’s dad shows up, and there’s this song that means so much to me personally called “Voices In My Head” and it’s about how yeah you’ve all got voices in your head but you can’t listen to them you just gotta listen to yours, also Jeremy and Christine go out and I’m not mad about it because they’re honestly adorable fjdshfhds, there’s a hint the Squip is still in the back of Jeremy’s mind just with no control, and the musical ends
So yeah that’s the show, it’s so fucking fun, the writing isn’t great sometimes (the ending of the show is the weakest part), but I still like it a lot! The songs slap, the characters are great, I’ve had several mental breakdowns to Michael in The Bathroom because it’s a fantastic mental breakdown song highly recommend questioning everything about your friendships and self while it plays in the background as you sing along probably wrecking your throat slightly until you have every word memorized, and BMC is just fun as hell and has a lot of potential for angst fics. So yeah, go find bootlegs of it on YouTube, there’s also some bootlegs linked here and also this is just seratonin and makes my soul happy (don’t worry it’s completely sfw), here are two posts talking about the musical but shorter and more accurate, have fun, scroll through my BMC tag, please join the fandom I’m lonely
Uhhhh take my favorite BMC comic okay byee
Also Jeremy and Michael are in love
