@woah-uhuh-uhuh-uhuh already made a post about this that you can go check out here but here’s mine with other stuff from the show I noticed from today’s bac bmc performance!
(these aren’t in any specific order it’s just by when I remembered to write it down)
they really said SCARY stockboy cause he had a knife and he yelled a lot
scary stockboy was playing the knife game before jeremy and michael came in
my mothers would be thrilled was added in
crystal pepsi was changed to ecto cooler (broadway version)
mixed up line during bmc pt 2: the “everything about you makes me wanna die” bit was accidentally switched with the “everything about you is so terrible” bit
whenever squip was controlling someone’s dialogue he mouthed along with them
chloe and brooke held hands a lot
there was a literal tango between madeline and zac during the squip tango
rich yelled “hey short ass where’s my money?” at aubrey during the mts reprise
dustin was shoplifting at the mall
the squip looked through files whenever jeremy did something wrong (think like tony stark with jarvis)
during gtikbi reprise christine had headphones on (she is so neurodivergent <3)
mixed up line during ilprl: “is this where you sign up for the play” “no this is where you sign up for the swim team”
the photo used during the mall scene is actually a photo of the real life menlo park mall
chloe pushes up/adjusts brooke’s boobs for the second dywr verse
one of the ensemble threw up in the hood of jared’s onesie during gtikbi reprise
the squip did stewart clarke’s opt up during tpc
michael started screaming when everyone else was screaming during the play
michael’s mailbox during the pants song said “mell box”
jeremy had an x-men shirt during vimh
michael has more than one red hoodie but they're all slightly different
after rich writes boyf on jeremy’s backpack he like does a kiss towards jeremy’s cheek (not like leaning in to kiss his cheek but more like a “mwah” noise)

Some squip squad headcanons! Sorry I had to do a lot on paper
Transcribing all my writing under the cut because it may be hard to read. Sorry about that
JEREMY:
Jerm has a tooth that got knocked out of place. It sticks out whenever he talks.
He also has smol bean hands.
Rich calls them “girl hands”
Michael thinks they’re good for hand holding
RICH:
Rich’s SQUIP loved the [internet] exposure from the fire. Rich took this as another red flag.
At the hospital, he secretly threw away the hospital food and ordered delivery instead.
He’s my ✨son✨
CHRISTINE:
Christine always wears an excessive amount of hair accessories.
She collects barrettes and pins. Her pins are all theatre references.
She breaks the fourth wall by having a BMC pin.
She will slap you hard if you say the name of the Scottish Play [even outside the theatre].
She watches OSP [Overly Sarcastic Productions].
MIDDLE DRAWING:
Autistic Jerm. ADHD Christine. They hyperfixate together. I love them.
JENNA:
The only reason I’m including Jenna is because, apparently, in the book, the character we know in the musical as Madeleine is Jenna’s alter ego…and we never actually see Madeleine on stage. So I NEED HER to be Jenna pls
MICHAEL:
Michael has a gaming YouTube channel. A headphone company sponsored him once. Now he has headphones.
Not only does he listen to reggae, he also likes alternative rock.
He hyperfixates over songs and bands for days on end and rants to Jeremy about them.
Hella queerplatonic with Jeremy.
He’s my ✨other son✨
BROOKE:
Brooke has social anxiety. Chloe helps her work through it.
Yes Pinkberry.
Outside of meta, Brooke has a great voice.
At one point, Brooke held the title for the longest hair in the school. She then cut her hair, giving the title to Chloe.
CHLOE AND JAKE:
They’re mad I didn’t include them :(

Michael and Jake is such a big brained pairing wtf. TELL ME MORE do they play on the same team in capture the flag? what sorts of shenanigans do the boys get up to? has Jake ever used charm speak on Michael?
AJHDJAJSJS YEAH! It’s actually. So funny how they ended up being a ship for this. Basically this all started because I listened to The Lightning Thief Musical when I was deep into BMC fic writing, and so naturally I start thinking of a Half-Blood AU but I could only really settle on godly parents for Michael and Jake (as well as Chloe but hers is Zeus, obviously, and I didn’t want to mess with Big Three Kid shenanigans)
So basically I was just writing random drabbles set in no partially timeline, messing around as most of my writing is. And they. Just kept wanting to kiss! So I let them. Also fun fact I’m a big Expensive Headphones (Michael/Rich) shipper and I started shipping them for the Exact Same Reason. These boys just all want to kiss Michael who am I to stop them?
ANYWAY TO YOUR QUESTIONS!!
They absolutely do play capture the flag on the same team and it obviously started during that time where Jake was just scared and attached to Michael and Michael wanted nothing mlre than for Jake to just pretend he didn’t exist like he did at school but Chiron obviously sees Jake has imprinted on Michael like a lost duckling and keeps them together at all costs. It works out.
Some shenanigans include Jake swiping weed from some Demeter kids for Michael, them locking one of Michael’s sisters into the armory with her crush, Michael slipping notes written in Ancient Greek into Jake’s locker, Knife Throwing. I also have the very vivid idea of Jake pestering Michael into trying out for the archery team since there’s a spot open now, and Michael jsuy shrugging it off and saying no until Squipped Up Jeremy says something rude about it and oh no now Michael has to do it. And Jake is just happy because he gets to watch his boyfriend be the best fucking archer ever and show everyone how cool he is (truly hearts in his eyes)
And then the charmspeak on Michael, the answer is a Yes. At least once on accident when he was still new and not aware he even had it. But he does do it purposely when he notices Michael spiraling into a panic attack, tries to smother it out before it can start by charming him into breathing and calming down. Works well enough but probably feels real funky and depending on the source can be a temporary solution. Jake would learn to use it sparingly, the Halloween Party is a good example of when he would do it
Also I can’t believe I forgot to mention this but Michael and Dionysus are actually lowkey buds. Is this partially because of George Salazar being both of them? Yes. But it’s also because Dionysus loves Pac-Man and so does Michael! And Michael would 100% sneak around to find his personal Pac-Man machine to play at camp.
And one last fun fact, Michael’s contact name in Jake’s phone is “Apollo But Gayer” and Jake’s in Michael’s phone is “Aphrodillinger”

hey be more chill peeps, i have a question!! about ships!
well first i have exposition lol.
so i ship richjake, bc i like the drama and angst that surrounds them. neither come from good homes, there's the whole "rich set a fire" thing, the foundation of their friendship is a lie bc rich was squipped. also i love jake (like, so much) and this is The Big Jake Ship so like. i naturally gravitated toward it.
i swing between whether i prefer stagedorks or boyf riends. ngl, i feel like boyfs (and also michael) is like... everywhere. you can't go anywhere in the bmc fandom without encountering it, it seems. which isn't necessarily a bad thing! it just gets... dull, i guess. (and like, no offense if you adore boyfs or stan michael. idc. you do you! im glad that makes you happy! it just isn't always my jam.) so i like both stagedorks and boyfs, but neither particularly much, just because it feels like they (with richjake) are the Big Ships.
(side note: you may ask, why doesn't richjake being Big and Everywhere bother me in the same way? and that's a great question! you're right! i don't know haha, sorry!)
i also! really love upstage!! like!! so much!! at least part of that is cause im a bit of a rarepair fiend, apparently. but again, it's about the Drama. i love thinking about jake in the hospital and the Development he's gotta go through. this is applicable to richjake too, but i like to think about christine bc she is so similar to me. i also think she'd hold jake to a higher standard than rich would. her being jake's "love interest" forces him to think about his actions, apologize, and change.
anyway, all that to say: what's the appeal of other ships?? those are my personal preferences, but i know that there are a lot of ships for this fandom! and it fascinates me! i tend to stick to richjake, upstage, stagedorks, and boyfs, bc that's what i'm familiar with. but i want to know what peoples' special ships are and why you love them! (especially like deere, or expensive headphones, or pinkberry, or cinnabun. but please talk about Any Ship i'd love to hear it!!!) so you can ramble or recommend fics (i'd love if you recommended fics ngl) or like do whatever! i just wanna know why people love the ships you love. also, if you have a different take on the ships i talked about, feel free to share!
anyway thank you in advance! i can't wait!

AT THE REQUEST OF @peanut-butter-and-theatre HAVE A BUNCH OF BMC HEADCANONS IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER
(Some of these are copypasted from my other posts dw about it)
After bad nights Jeremy naps during the day but ONLY if he's cuddling Michael and he always holds on way too tight to his hoodie and when he wakes up he always apologises to the polar bear at the back for crushing it (He thinks he does it mentally but sometimes it slips out and Michael doesn't say anything even if he thinks it's adorable)
Also!! Jeremy gets extra cuddly after waking up and will sometimes lean on Michael in the mornings 
When Michael has a bad day Jeremy literally RUNS to the closest 7/11 (because he doesn't have a car and keeps forgetting he has a bike) and gets all their comfort snacks and then they cuddle under the blankets while a disney movie plays in the background 
Jeremy LOVES musicals and belting out whatever song is stuck in his head and Michael loves his voice so sometimes they'll turn the speaker volume up in the cruiser and just SCREAM (Christine is also the cause of this sometimes)
Jeremy wears his earplugs in public but doesn’t actually play any music because he panics about it suddenly playing out loud. (Yes I’m projecting shut up)
Brooke has always wanted to do cheesy friendship things like make friendship bracelets and have sleepovers so when Christine makes her a loom band and Michael invites her over for video games (just the two of them) she almost cries
Rich knows how to skate- at first it was just to be cool but after he nailed an Ollie he’s learned to genuinely enjoy it
Sometimes Rich’s scars feel like they’re burning all over again 
Only once Jeremy gets used to a person is he comfortable with physical contact, same with Michael but when Michael gets comfortable it’s difficult to pry him off
Michael realised his feelings for Jeremy in 6th grade 
Mr.Heere has always wanted to write a book but he can’t write for shit
Michael is always wearing his headphones during school, sometimes they’re not even plugged in- just on his head. The only times he takes them off are to talk to Jeremy, and later the rest of the squad
Jenna was the first of all of them to actually go to therapy and she convinces Rich to try it out too, she’s set on convincing Jake or Jeremy next
Chloe actually crochets and knits, but after being bullied for her handmade satchel when she was in middle school she decided to switch to designer accessories instead
Chloe loves Heathers the musical - she heard it from Brooke who heard it from Christine and she’s been hooked ever since
Jenna and Jeremy watch Mean Girls together as a comfort movie
Jake moves in with the Heeres after a few months of living in random apartments by himself.
When Christine is upset, Chloe brings her to her garage and gives her buckets of paint and huge canvases she never used and lets Christine go ham with them
Brooke buys Jeremy a space themed binder after he comes out to her
Brooke, Jeremy and Michael are constantly swapping clothes without meaning to, Brooke and Jeremy will mix up cardigans sometimes, Jeremy comes to school in Michael’s hoodies and Michael tends to grab the nearest long sleeved thing from Jeremy’s closet when they’re in a hurry so it’s common for them to be wearing each others clothes
Brooke has a collection of rainbow clips in her hair she always gets from Christine and forgets to return
Both Jeremy and Brooke have a collection of coloured pens, Jake does too but he never uses them
Rich and Michael have a bi-weekly game night (Rich jokes about how the game night is less bi than he is)
Christine calls Jeremy ‘babe’ even after they break up, she just switches to a platonic one
Michael and Jake organised an experiment to see if the Squip was actually back or if Rich and Jeremy just heard the echoes of it by adding red colouring to sprite and telling them it was Mountain Dew Red (it didn’t stop the Squip, and both boys apologised afterwards for lying) 
Jeremy once beat up a guy for bullying Michael, he almost broke his wrist doing it but he claims it was worth it
Jake plays most sports in school but the only one he genuinely enjoys is basketball, he also likes being in debate
Rich actually wanted to talk to Jeremy and Michael a few times in freshman year but it seemed like every time he saw them they were having a moment™ and he didn’t want to interrupt (later he found out that they are just LIKE THAT and he totally could have talked to them sooner)
The entire school is convinced that Jake and Rich are secretly dating. They are not actually dating.
Brooke and Michael fake-dated at some point to make them both look straight before going SCREW IT and letting Michael hold his boyfriend's hand in school whether people cared or not

My Top Posts in 2022:

more obnoxiously specific bmc headcanons
- jeremy heere hates mint. he hated it before the squip, sure, but he really hates it after. he thinks its a horrible flavour and will never get it. he used charcoal toothpaste for a while but it fucked with his meds so now he just uses kids toothpaste. not that he’d ever admit that, because thats cringe of him, but hey. mans likes bubblefruit. 
- michael mell is a headphones only bitch. he hates earbuds with a passion and has gotten into so many arguments with jeremy over this. it is their one big debate and it’s incredibly funny. michael will only wear headphones and hasn’t let anyone wear his headphones in at least 6 years.
- christine canigula makes her friends jewelry. actually, she just does it for fun, but she ends up giving it to her friends. brooke has like 20 pairs of beaded earrings from christine just dropping them in her hands. michael has friendship bracelets clogging up his drawers and his arms from her. she likes giving gifts to them. 
- jenna rolan once ran a vaguely popular 5 seconds of summer fan blog when she was 12. she never told anyone about it but every so often it reappears in her memory and he gets embarrassed. she still knows how to edit photos and gifs because of it. not that she’ll ever admit it. 
- rich goranski wanted to be a band kid so bad. he started taking saxophone lessons when he was 10 and he managed to get pretty good at it but kind of lost confidence to actually be a band kid (especially with the whole popularity thing)
- jake dillinger is colourblind. not to an extent that’s dramatic, but he genuinely just. can’t tell some colours apart. he got frustrated as a little kid because people would tell him that something was one colour and he’d insist it was a different one. eventually he just made it his brand to not match anything so people don’t judge him as much. he doesn’t always mismatch on purpose, though. 
- brooke lohst goes through phases of starting to make crafts and learning how to do things like knitting, crocheting, and cross-stitching before completely abandoning them. she’s made a total of two scarves, one stuffed animal, and a sign for her moms kitchen. all the rest are works in progress she will never finish. 
- chloe valentine hates valentine’s day with a passion. because of her last name, she thinks its stupid and she’s heard every joke about it in the book. she wants to stab anyone that makes a joke about valentine’s day to her.

my obnoxiously specific bmc headcanons
- jeremy heere writes apocalypse of the damned fanfiction. he's surprisingly popular in his little niche of people and he's kind of proud of it, but he'd never admit it out loud because he thinks its cringey.
- michael mell is like... super good with a sewing machine. mans was raised by two moms and sews his own patches on his jacket, and he could probably make a good chunk of clothing if asked, but he wastes his talents on absolutely hideous pairs of pajama pants in horrible garish fabrics.
- christine canigula listens to emo music. sure, her main genre is showtunes and broadway soundtracks, but she's a huge fan of any music that has a shit ton of emotion behind it that she can scream sing in her car. (also, her car is definitely a yellow bug. or some other bright colour of bug. i'm correct and i won't take criticism.)
- jenna rolan can quote entire episodes of old kids cartoons. kim possible, phineas and ferb, winx club, total drama, you name it. she's scarily good at it, but it's kind of a nerdy party trick so she doesn't say it all that much. you know that video of prozd with peter pan? that's her with w.i.t.c.h.
- rich goranski absolutely loves painting. not exactly pretty stuff, but he likes painting walls and canvases and sometimes his clothing, too. his clothes usually have specks of paint on them he can't get off, and once a piece gets too bad, he makes them into the clothes he uses to splatter paint his garage again.
- jake dillinger is a huge marvel fan. he doesn't understand anything about the comics, or anything like that, but he's always one of the first people to show up to the marvel movies in theaters. when they're having reruns of the movies in theaters he sometimes goes just by himself, sits in the back, and enjoys it all over again.
- brooke lohst can NEVER find her pens. she has a bunch of them, and some of them are all glittery and bright, some have those little puffballs on the end, some of them are just normal pens. she loses them so frequently that a good gift for her is just... a pack of pens. she has cute bags for them and everything, but nine times out of ten they end up floating somewhere at the bottom of her backpack.
- chloe valentine is notorious at killing plants. she tries so hard to keep them alive, but no matter what, they always end up dead. even cacti. and succulents. if a plant is alive in her house, its probably fake.

My #1 post of 2022
the next person i see saying “he’s perfect i just hope they dye his hair!!” is getting nerfed. he’s a kid. the hair colour has nothing to actually do with the character. wanting to change the appearance of a child is weird actually.

Michael in the Music room
“I wanna dance with somebody!” Michael sang whole heartedly, snapping his fingers, and bopping his head to the loud beat in his headphones. He even went as far as to bounce from side to side with the rhythm. “I wanna feel the heat with somebody!” He continued, a wide smile on his cheeks, eyes closed, offering a bright picture of joy to anyone who happened to be standing in the doorway of the music room that Michael had originally thought was empty, but some lucky soul had opened the door just in time to see the excited dance that, normally, was a dance that was kept between his headphones and his locked bedroom doors, the very vision of ‘dance like no one is watching.’ Right now, Michael was warm, everything about him radiated warmth and comfort, he was naturally a light source. Warm brown eyes seemed to shine in the short, rare moments where the notes would rise in his headphones and they’d pop open as his arms rose up into the air, fist pumping in rhythm with the beat and his continuous bouncing. His energy seemed to fill the room and carry into the person watching, absolutely infectious in the best way possible, and for a moment it made the person at the doorway wonder how Michael hadn’t gotten popular yet. He had enough confidence and energy to top Jake Dillinger, and the person at the door knew he had just as much charisma as Brooke and Chloe. What popular crowd wouldn’t want this ray of energy walking along side them in the halls? It wasn’t because Michael was bad looking, anyone who glanced at him knew that just wasn’t the case, even if he wasn’t as athletic as Rich. When the person really thought about it, the only thing keeping Michael from popularity was probably his anti-social nature. They knew why Jeremy hadn’t gotten popular yet, he never put himself out there, he wasn’t charismatic, he wasn’t confident, even if he was a nice guy and decent enough friend. They sighed, knowing full and well that Michael hadn’t felt the need to be cool in a hot minute since he had Jeremy which.. was really sweet. He was loyal too. The person snapped back on track, right, she had to get what she came for. She rose the phone camera up and started recording Michael as he danced and singed around the music room, leaving her somehow unnoticed in the doorway, only stopping the recording when she felt like she had enough.. “Jenna?” Michael muttered in horror, blinking at her, seemingly froze mid-spin. She smiled from behind the camera, stopping the recording and lowering it. “Hey Mikey, don’t worry, this isn’t going anywhere it shouldn’t be. You’re good at singing by the way, I can see why he wanted a video of you while you were at it.” She hummed, turning to start and walking away. “Wait! I- wha- Jenna! Who-” Michael stuttered after her, face completely red. Jenna didn’t stop, she just turned, winked at him, and closed the door behind her. Rich definitely owed her for this, but the look on Michael’s face was almost worth it. Almost.

Be More Chill Masterlist
Tumblr media
All of my oneshots and longer fics listed alphabetically by ship/character; just click the link to go to the fic!
Be More Chill
BMC Soulmate AU Preferences: Soulmate preferences for the boys of BMC (GN)
Michael Mell
The Boy with the Pac-Man Tattoo: For the past year, this guy in Michael's class has been glaring at him. Then the school art show comes around and he finds out why.
The Cure For A Bad Day: After a shitty day at college, Michael takes it upon himself to make your day better.
Jake Dillinger
Shy: All this time Jake had thought you didn’t like him. It turns out that you’re just shy.
Strung Out: In a world where soulmates are bound by thin red threads, you���re burdened by being able to see and alter them.
Light Up My World: You may not be the most popular guy in school, but that’s not going to stop Jake from crushing hard.
Cute Faces: This wasn't your first party, but it was the first time that Jake Dillinger had approached you at one.
Rich Goranski: Ultimate Wingman: When Rich finds out about his best friend's hopeless crush on one of the theater techs, he makes it his mission to get them together.
Pins and Patches (Michael Mell X Jake Dillinger)
No Complaints (18+): Okay, so maybe Jake wasn't entirely sure how he and Michael Mell had ended up in his room when there was a perfectly good party raging on downstairs, and maybe he wasn't exactly sure how he ended up with Michael's tongue in his mouth, but Jake certainly wasn't complaining.
Expensive Headphones (Michael Mell X Rich Goranski)
Welcome to Starbucks: Rich has been trying to flirt with the cute Starbucks barista for ages, not realizing that it was the antisocial kid with the headphones that he'd always picked on.
It All Started With Apocalypse of the Damned (COMPLETED FIC): Even the people who didn't know Rich Goranski well could tell you that he was one of the most traditionally Alpha guys to ever step foot in Middle Borough High. He was strong and stubborn and protective of those he cared about. He was aggressive when it came to chasing down what he wanted, and his family line had no shortage of Alphas. Naturally, he and everyone else expected him to present as one. There's only one problem; Rich presented as an Omega. Now that he's classed as a member of the lowest secondary gender, it seems like the world is against him. Well, all except for Michael Mell, who had essentially taken over as his best friend after the S.Q.U.I.P. situation. Michael was there for Rich when no one else was, so for them to fall for each other is almost as easy as breathing, but will it be that easy to get together and stay that way?
The Greatest Showman (WIP FIC): Michael Mell has always been better at communicating through music notes than by talking, so it was only natural that he express himself by performing song covers online. Even after his best friend abandoned him to be cool, Michael was content. He kept to himself and focused on his channel. Then when his tormentor discovers he can sing and forces him to join the school's failing Glee club, Michael's life of avoiding the spotlight comes to an end. Can he lead the club to Nationals, or will sabotage be their downfall? And will he be able to balance a relationship on top of putting an end to the S.Q.U.I.P.ocalypse?
Party for Two (18+): When Rich asked Michael to help him get back at his S.Q.U.I.P, having sex with him was the last thing that Michael would've thought that he meant. But hey, if it allowed him to get a little more information about the computer chip in his best friend's head, Michael was willing to try anything.
Never Have I Ever: When Jeremy dragged Michael to a party, he assumed he'd spend the whole night alone in the corner, not that he'd get roped into some stupid ice-breaker game with the rest of the squad. On the other hand, maybe Never Have I Ever wouldn't be so bad if Jeremy didn't know all about Michael's little crush. Secrets get spilled, shots get taken, and Michael might even get the guy!
Canine Companion (COMPLETED FIC): Rich had never told anyone that he was a shapeshifter. It was strange, and different; who could say what would happen if anyone found out. Then again, using his gift to get closer to his friend/crush Michael Mell couldn't be such a bad thing, could it?
Dating with the Stars: When Rich Goranski comes across a famous face when swiping through his matches on a dating app it's natural that he's a little skeptical, but when he messages the suspected troll, he gets more than he bargained for and lands a date with a celebrity.

you're right that expensive headphones is the best BMC ship. Absolutely yes 💙💜❤️
think of all the glorious post-squip fluff these two bring though??
while waiting for jeremy to wake up, michael eventually starts talking to rich. he’s reluctant at first, because rich straight up bullied him. but he remembers that rich also had the squip, and he decides to give rich the benefit of the doubt by starting some very awkward conversations.
and i mean, awkward conversations. these two find it really hard to find a common ground at first because it seems hard for them to get over the whole squip thing. it takes a while for michael to realise that he blames rich for the whole thing. it takes rich even longer to open up about why he got it, and why he let it take over his life. michael can’t hate him after that.
but when they start talking, boy do they talk. jeremy starts to feel left out, as he’s so used to having michael’s attention all to himself. he finds it difficult to share at first, but michael soon puts him in his place. (“dude you didn’t talk to me for weeks, i think i can have another friend.”)
rich’s heart kind of swells when he hears michael say this. he hadn’t found it easy to make friends before this, and jake and the rest of the squip squad came into his life after getting his squip. (michael is the one to reassure him that they’re still going to be his friends after, and that they’re going to love him even more than before, because how could they not like the true rich goranski?)
they don’t rush into anything, rich will outwardly talk about how hot michael is, but michael just laughs it off. they work on building their friendship, and they’re always spotted sitting beside each other at lunch or chilling smoking by the bleachers together. it isn’t until when prom comes around, that something shifts in their relationship.
as soon as rich decides he wants to ask michael to the prom, he panics. he asks everyone and they all have different opinions - jenna thinks he should go all out and have a huge promposal in the cafeteria. brooke offers to help him buy some flowers, while jeremy insists it should be a vintage video game from the store michael always drags him to. jake tries to pass on his flirting advice, while chloe pretends she doesn’t care, but is really rooting for the two of them to get their heads out of their asses and realise they’d be cute together. christine tries to come up with the perfect playlist, and rich actually tries to use this.
but he’s doing homework in michael’s basement, since he offered to help rich with his schoolwork since he was struggling, and michael laughs really hard at one of his stupid jokes, and rich blurts it out. michael doesn’t hear at first, and rich freaks out because he can’t believe he’s ruined it. but when he asks michael again, he smiles and places his hand in rich’s. “dude i’ve been trying to ask you for weeks.”
seems rich was too in his own head to miss the subtle hints michael was sending his way. in fairness, he didn’t think rich would miss the “so are you going to prom with anyone?” he asked on a regular basis. and the equally as subtle “it could be fun if we could go together?”
they have the best night ever. jake wins prom king, and michael helps rich spike the punch. they dance all night together, and rich even convinced michael to slow dance with him. they sneak out early to have their first kiss under the stars on the football pitch. because rich is adamant that michael deserved some romance. and it’s perfect, michael wouldn’t change a single thing about it.

Playride(Christine x Brooke)
Game Theory(Jenna x Jeremy, although I like this one a bit more as QPR than romantic-)
Hot Pants(Mr. Heere x Mr. Reyes)
Apocalypse Play(Michael x Christine)
Expensive Skates(Michael x Rich x Jeremy)
Meremine(Michael x Jeremy x Christine)
The Squip x Jeremy's Macbook Pro Hard drive(this one is a joke and I blame a friend for it)
Squip x Squip ships. I like... Literally all of them. Although Rich's Squip x Jeremy's Squip is really high up there for me.
Background character ship time
Kropp Tops(Rich x Dustin)
Jake x Dustin(does this have an official name?)
Janice x Rashidra x Talia(Aka the three bg girls played by the guys during The Smartphone Hour)
Karl x Troy
Michael's moms aren't even an option anymore I like have to because they're canon.
And I mean I ship Boyf Riends but like it's only in AUs so... Like... I don't really feel like I need to put it here.

I love giving bmc ships alternative names. boyf riends is cozy purple cause michael wears a red hoodie and jeremy wears a blue sweater so comfortable clothing + blue + red = cozy purple. expensive headphones is patched up cause michael has patches on his hoodie and rich had to be “patched up” from the fire (also patched up meaning healing for both characters). rolohst is iced tea cause brooke likes frozen yogurt and since jenna is associated with gossip, tea is another word for it. it’s fun.

Francoise-Dupont Performs Be More Chill- Rehearsal
More Than Survive
Adrien, without thinking, said ‘Mariiiii’ instead of ‘Christiiiiiine’, and would never live it down
When Alix wrote Boyf and Riend on Adrien and Nino’s backpacks, she got the idea to do the same with Marc and Nathaniel’s after rehearsal
Nino was actually listening to reggae on his headphones while singing (Turns out he likes it)
Kim and Alix nearly dropped Marinette when they carried her over to the sign-up sheet
Alix: STRAAAAAIGHT!
I Love Play Rehearsal
Marinette broke out into giggles a few times while singing this
Marinette: I also have a touch of ADD!
Nino: She actually does.
Instead of making the weird noises, she just did a backflip off of her chair, much to everyone’s shock
The Squip Song
Instead of going in the boy’s bathroom, Adrien and Alix go in a unisex bathroom
Alix did the rock and roll stage slide when she sang ‘ITS FROM JAPAAAAAAN!’
Alix needed a lot of water after singing that
Two Player Game
Nino and Adrien held hands a few times during the song, and Nino kissed his cheek when he sang ‘Is it really true? I’m your favowite person?’
Nino: Uh… No homo?
Alix/Rose/Juleka: Yes homo!
Nathaniel: Total homo.
The Squip Enters
Adrien may have blushed when Marinette held his hand while he was screaming
Marc and Nathaniel accidentally bumped into each other when walking through the mist from the fog machine
Adrien: You look like Calum Worthy and Rain Dove
Nathaniel: Our default modes. You can also have us set for Ruby and Sapphire
Marc: Tweek and Craig
Nathaniel/Marc: Or Yaoi boys with cat ears and tails
Be More Chill (Part 1)
Marc sang the first verse
Nathaniel died when Marc called Adrien ‘Boo’
Nathaniel’s commanding voice when he told Adrien what to do reminded him of his dad
Marc: Everything about you is so terrible (I didn’t mean in, you’re amazing)
Nathaniel: Everything about you makes me wanna die (Not you, you bring me life)
When picking out clothes, and Adrien picked out the girl shirt, Marc resisted the urge to roll his eyes when he had the point out the shirt was for girls (Screw gender roles!)
Instead of Madeline being French, she’ll be American
Nathaniel: Hey, Hamlet. Be More Chill
Do You Wanna Ride?
Adrien has to admit, Mylène made an amazing Brooke
Be More Chill (Part 2)
Nathaniel: Jeremy, you cant just listen. You have to obey.
And at that moment, Marc knew… That he was definitely a bottom
Adrien cried a little when he repeated Marc and Nathaniel’s words. They paused so everyone could comfort him and tell him he’s wonderful
Sync Up
Marc: You can’t lie to us, Jeremy.
Nathaniel: We’re inside your brain!
Kim and Alix were mostly doing finger guns and fist bumps when they sang
Mylene: I’m sure digging this new look, hella retro, and totally rad! That was English!
To make Optic Nerve Blocking happen, Max used a remote control to make the prop lockers move in front of Nino
Adrien: Feeling crisp and high and clean! And head to play rehearsal with Mari!
Marc: *Facepalms* Straight people.
A Guy That I’d Kinda Be Into
Marinette poured her heart out during this song
Her backup singers kept trying to get them to move closer together
All they could think was “COME ON! KISS!”
Adrien may or may not have blushed again when she sang ‘I guess a part of me likes to talk to you.’
Then he died when she sang ‘Is… Jake.’
More Than Survive (Reprise)
Once again, Adrien said ‘Marinette’.
The Squip Stalks (Instrumental)
The actors were just enjoying the eerie melody
Upgrade
Mylène: Isn’t the sun on the bleachers just bitchin’?
Surprisingly, Marinette didn’t kill Mylène when she and Adrien kissed
And Ivan didn’t want to mangle Adrien
Nathaniel: Now it’s time to go all the way and more!
Marc: … Fuck.
When Kim and Marinette were singing their parts in Upgrade, Adrien got just a little jealous when he saw Kim holding her hand, and dipping her
Marinette: I’m tired of being the person that everyone thinks that I am (She cried a little at this)
Loser Geek Whatever
It took all of Adrien’s willpower not to laugh or cry when singing this
To do Optic Nerve Blocking, they turned the lights off, then Nino ran offstage, and when the lights came back on, he was gone
Halloween
Mylène instead went as a sexy mouse
Kim as Lil’ Romeo
Marinette as Juliet
Alya as IT
Aurore as a sexy baby
Alix as Jason
Adrien as a cyborg
Marc and Nathaniel as Anime villains
Jeremy and Jake’s Dance Off: Adrien is an amazing break dancer
Alix was twitching and flailing her arms throughout the entire party, screaming for Mountain Dew Red
Do You Wanna Hang?
Aurore is a major lesbian, so doing this with Adrien just made her feel weird
Adrien was a little uncomfortable, so Aurore kept the touching to a minimum
Adrien: I can’t move my feet.
Marc: You’re welcome.
When Aurore made Adrien drink from her bottle, Marc and Nathaniel, having no idea how to speak Japanese just spoke Spanish and Yiddish
Kagami would be giving them lessons later
Michael in the Bathroom
Nino was wearing the CREEPS shirt, but with red letters
Adrien died a little inside when he called Nino a loser
Nino: I’m having my period!
Alya: … Take your time, honey!
Nino had everyone crying when he sang Michael in the Bathroom
It took all of Alya’s strength, and her friends restraining her to not run up on that stage and hug her boyfriend
A Guy That I’d Kinda Be Into (Reprise)
When Adrien asked if she would go out with him, Marinette was squealing and nearly said “YES! I LOVE YOU!”
But she kept that to herself and said her lines, while trying not to facepalm over and over
Smartphone Hour
Alya was actually on the Ladyblog when she was singing Smartphone Hour
Aurore got a little tongue-tied when she said ‘I’m sorry Jeremy made out with me at the party, but it was totally his fault, and let’s not let boys ever come between us again, okay?”
Alya: Hey everybody, have you heard? Rach set a fire, now go spread the word!
Alya’s vocal range had Nino blushing like crazy
Pitiful Children
Once again, Nathaniel got a nosebleed as Marc sang. Just wait until the night of the show when Marc would be wearing the outfit Marinette made
Marc and Nathaniel held hands most of the time
Adrien is a huge fan on BMC, but he still has no idea how the SQUIPS got in Rich’s locker
Alya forgot where she put her Mountain Dew
Kagami played her SQUIP
During the instrumental, Marc and Nathaniel’s backup dancers/singers were Kagami, Juleka, Rose, Chloe, Sabrine, Ivan, and Luka
The Pants Song
Adrien felt kinda badass when he called the student playing Mr. Heere a loser.
He imagined the student was his dad
After hearing the song for the hundredth, there was one thing on Adrien’s mind… He wanted Mr. Heere to be his dad
Instead of burning the momentos, Nino just cut them up
Student: Do you love him?
Nino: Yea- NO!
Student: Huh?
Akuma Class: Huh?
Alya: Say what now?
Adrien: … As a friend, right?
The Play
Marinette cried a little when Adrien (As Jeremy), implied that there was something wrong with her
Marc: I anticipated your resistance.
Nathaniel: … Fuck, I’m a bottom.
Sabrina played Mylène’s SQUIP
Ivan played Max’s SQUIP
On her cue, Alix skated across the stage screaming ‘I NEED MOUNTAIN DEW RED!’
Nino: MICHAEL MAKES AN ENTRANCE!
That immediately had students screaming and cheering
The fight scene between Nino and Adrien was a little awkward because they kept getting in weird positions
Nathaniel: … Gay?
Marc: Gay.
Chloé played Kim’s SQUIP
Aurore and Mylène held hands as they sang
Rose and Juleka played their SQUIPS
Alya: I know what you’re doing, Michael. I know what everyone’s doing! ALL THE TIME!
Nino got a nosebleed when she grabbed him by the front of his shirt
Everyone was a little out of sync when they said “I just feel so connected to you guys right now.”
Luka, as Marinette’s SQUIP, walked her over to Adrien and winked at the blonde
Marinette surprisingly didn’t stutter, have a breakdown, or scream when she told Adrien she loved him
And it was at that moment, Adrien started having feelings for Marinette
After Marinette drank the Mountain Dew red, the students just screamed and did some dramatic thrashing on the floor
Once again, Marc spoke Spanish, and Nathaniel spoke Yiddish as their characters were defeated
Voices in my Head
Instead of saying ‘I’m totally Bi.’ Alix said, ‘I’m totally Ace.’
Marinette: Who did yours look like?
Adrien: Two gay guys. Yours?
Marinette: Rocker boy.
When Marinette and Adrien finally kissed, this got the actors into a frenzy
Alya: … Okay. The song’s over.
Kim: Guys? We’re done.
Nathaniel: Rehearsal’s over.
Max: Hey. *Snaps his fingers* Hello?

Thoughts on Rich? In case you want a break from all the boyf stuff you get.
RICH!!!! I LOVE HIM :3333
this boy,,,, i talk about how jeremy was manipulated a lot on here, but rich,,,, dear lord. he had his squip for two years. the mental toll that the squip is believed to have on jeremy, who only had his for a few months,,,,, it’s gotta be at least ten times worse. the guilt jeremy has? RICH BURNED DOWN HIS BEST FRIEND’S HOUSE IN A DESPERATE ATTEMPT TO ESCAPE THE ONLY WAY HE KNEW HOW, and JAKE BROKE HIS LEGS SAVING HIM. he was hurting enough to attempt suicide, and failed, and made things worse. imagine how fucking much that’s gonna hurt him now? 
not only that, he wasn’t his true self that whole two years with the squip. he was under the direction of the squip, everything he did was directed to him. he has to live with going two years without having been himself (massive massive identity crisis) having to learn how to function without the squip’s help, and Also, the squip helped with his homework, so he essentially missed out on two years of education without learning shit. and public education is broken, but i would imagine schoolwork would become so difficult without the squip, not even knowing anything they’re doing and not having the foundation of the past two years, not knowing how to study,,,, if he doesn’t fail out of school it’ll be a miracle. 
he was also in relationships that weren’t really real, ive talked about how his relationship with jake wasn’t real, it was all something the squip cooked up and the rich jake knows is really just the rich the squip allowed him to be. thus, they’re two very different people, and for two years jake was friends with basically a lie. and also HE BURNED DOWN JAKE’S HOUSE. so something tells me that jake, plausibly, would not want to be his friend anymore, and i don’t blame him, as much as i love rich. and what about brooke, or chloe? on top of everything else, he’s also loosing the people he’s known for years.
ON TOP OF ALL THAT, he told jeremy to get a squip. he has to live with the guilt not only of burning down his best friend’s house and his best friend breaking both legs, and ALSO all the bullying he did under the squip’s direction, he has to live with the guilt of making another person hurt like he did. 
AND ON TOP OF ALL OF THAT, HE HAS A CANONICALLY ABUSIVE FATHER HE HAS TO DEAL WITH.
ALL OF THIS, but the fandom doesn’t care about that shit, no no no no no (except some people who Do, im gonna promo some rich fics at the end of this for you). but by and large, people don’t give two shits about rich and make him the meme character, and the fire thing is just ‘oh well jake forgave him and that’s that! now they’re dating ☺️’ and they largely shove him into the background of squip squad fics.
the fandom wants to uwufy michael so goddamn much, but rich is the person who is hurting the most out of anyone (including jeremy) after the squip. they never have him hurt, they never discuss what rich has been through, it’s all michael & jeremy all the time. like??????? it baffles me beyond words. they give michael abusive parents (despite canonically having loving mothers) and never go into rich’s CANONICAL ABUSIVE FATHER.
okay, sorry for that behemoth of an answer, im gonna link some rich fics for you now :3
mal de coucou series by penguinpatrolerarmy (two AWESOME rich fics, multichapter, one of which is complete. cannot recommend this shit enough. the author also has a TON of other good fics id recommend you check out)
and god, oh god, this goddamn weather by CupcakeOfAwesomeness (contains expensive headphones, it’s VERY DARK, an au where rich keeps reliving halloween.)
i don’t really have any others (i admittedly don’t read bmc fic very much anymore) but if anyone else has any recommendations please send them to me!

tell me all about your ocs 😠 i’ve only seen one so far and they’re so cooooool!
SOBS OH MY GOD FJJSJFJSKR
so uh yes the one you've seen is my comfort oc, miyuji chikara 🥺 they were the first decently written oc i've ever made for a big fandom!! no, homestuck doesn't count
i have some general stuff about them (which i will be putting after) but i literally made a fucking document of all the headcanons (or facts ig) about them because i had no one to ramble to 😭😭 i’ll format these like headcanon things to make it shorter HAHAHAHA
more about miyuji chikara
warnings: lance gets very ramble-y bc they love their ocs
Tumblr media
i forgot to add but the downside of their quirk is that it sometimes overloads their senses and causes migraines, which is why they need more concentration
miyuji learned how to dance since they were a child due to their quirk
their parents died of diseases (for plot reasons), so they stayed in the foster system from the age of 7 to the age of 11 before being adopted by a single dad
their adoptive dad (hakue chikara) is quirkless and is in the police department as chief inspector
they learned how to skate at the age of 12 after receiving the skates as a birthday gift from their dad
the sign on the back of their vest is called a "coda" which is a passage that brings an end to a piece. it's their way of saying that "my groove's gonna end y'all"
there are times where they have a sensory overload, so they wear noise cancelling headphones and talk in sign language
they suffer from mild adhd and is taking medication
their personality is basically a combination of jeremy and michael from bmc except no weed SKSKSKSK
they aim to be an underground hero so that he can work at a cafe he works at full time in the future

BMC Fic Recs!
i have enough time, boredom, and underrated fics in my bookmarks to put this together, so here you go! none of these fics are the ones on every rec list with hundreds of kudoses and comments, so maybe leave some if you read?
give it time and you’ll be fine - burnsides (6830 words)
including one of my favorite ever christine characterizations, a realistic portrayal of her adhd and weirdness without making her silly and stupid for the sake of it and without infantilizing her. the author’s michael characterization is also excellent, striking the balance between the fact that he’s happy with himself overall and the fact that he gets anxious and has breakdowns, without straying too far in either direction. their friendship is treated well too; usually it’s a “they don’t get along” or “they’re best friends immediately”, but this takes them from point a to point b smoothly and realistically.
but who could call you wrong? - zeitgeistofnow (5121 words)
adorable expensive headphones fic with rich as a vampire. the jokes are fucking hilarious, the romance is really cute, their characterizations are great, the background friendship is wonderful, and i’m in love with the chickens. (yes, the mells raise chickens. tell me there’s a better headcanon than that.) 
heart heart head. - heartshapedcookie (3039 words)
post-canon squip squad interaction fic. the characterizations of literally every single character are so on point, it literally feels like it’s been pulled straight from canon with their tics, dialogue, thoughts - the whole works. the language and metaphors are so pretty too, and we deal with the fact that they’re not all gonna be friends immediately, even if they try, and the aftermath of the squip syncing them all up and the connection formed there.
bet you’ve got a bone to pick with me - memorytheservant (13975 words)
set in the october of their senior year, we get to see how much jeremy and the rest of the squad have moved on from the whole squipcident. i’m literally in love with the characterizations in this fic, they feel so authentic i swear the author could secretly be joe iconis and joe tracz. the balance between “it’s been a year and they’ve changed and moved forward and become friends” and “it’s only been a year, there are a lot of things that are still haunting them and their relationships aren’t perfect” is struck beautifully. and jeremy’s jewishness is actually acknowledged in this fic - portrayed totally naturally and as an important part of him, in fact. also, jeremy has a therapy bunny. it’s literally the cutest thing i’ve ever read.
jeremy heere and (failing at) the art of being charming - hamelott (8225 words)
rich/jeremy fluffy coffeeshop au! this is literally so cute, and their characterizations are great and hilarious on the surface but even better once you dig deeper, and their relationship growing through this killed me. and the background characters and relationships (michael and jeremy’s friendship and michael being hella into jake) are just as wonderful as the main characters of rich and jeremy.
Sleepover - BackyardPodcast (1317 words)
a michael and christine friendship, they’re at a sleepover where they discuss things such as discovering their queerness and how michael may or not be in love with christine’s ex-boyfriend. their characterizations are so spot-on, their interactions are super cute, the whole discussion about michael’s gayness and christine’s aromanticism literally hit so hard i lowkey cried, and michael’s crush on jeremy is treated in a healthy way.
Just a Really Bad Night - Snovi (6844 words)
a zombie apocalypse fic in which jeremy comes back from a trip not okay, and michael becomes even less okay than jeremy because of it. can’t talk about the plot too much without spoiling it, but the interactions between jeremy and michael murdered me, and i was sobbing all the way through the end. warning for vomiting, death, guns/shooting, murder, and suicide. (yeesh that sounds heavy but it’s a really really good fic.) also note that it’s tagged as boyf riends but the relationship is actually platonic
