Me when rewatching Upgrade and getting to the end and yapping to my sister about how while characters who aren’t there physically show up for their “I’m tired of being the person that everyone thinks that I am”s, Michael doesn’t not only because he’s being optic-nerve blocked, but also because he doesn’t care what other people think about him. He’s content with being a loser because he had Jeremy to be a loser with; he was satisfied with being seen as a loser with Jeremy when it’s just them and their video games against the world.

And that’s why Michael In The Bathroom hits that much harder. Because Michael wasn’t upset with being called a loser, he didn’t care about that. He was upset about losing his best friend.

GUYS. guys. for fucks sake oh my days.

JEREMY IS NOT A BAD PERSON.

BUT HE DID. A BAD THING. please stop defending the bathroom scene for shits sake im losing my mind. the whole point of that was to show michaels anguish and hurt over something BAD JEREMY DID. which is why the use of him saying "get out of my way.. loser" is so important. it's so critical because their relationship at the start of the show was constantly rehashed to be "two dudes and theyre total losers but they have each other"

also thank u to that one person who reblogged (@/puekjh) for mentioning that the squip was deactivated then. it proves how most of the damage to jeremy's mindset had already been done and would take time for him to realise what he was doing was wrong

JEREMY WAS MANIPULATED BY THE SQUIP. HE DID A BAD THING UNDER THE CONTROL OF SOMEONE ELSE. BUT THE POINT HERE IS HE STILL DID THE BAD THING. but by the end of the musical relationships are rebonded and stuff. please pay attention to the lyrics in "the play" for once in your lives

GOD THIS MAKES ME SO ANGRY. please. i feel the responsibility to say this because i love jeremy so much but pls stop misunderstanding his character. pls. please please please.

thats all love yall and stan jeremy :p

Michael in the Bathroom analysis

So i've been getting obsessed with Be More Chill lately, as you do

I listened to a few of the songs on and off throughout the years, mainly Guy that i'd kinda be into and Michael in the Bathroom, and MITB is my FAVORITE song in any musical so i'm just gonna infodump about why that is here bc this is Tumblr and why tf not :DD (tw: suicide mention, depictions of panic attacks)

So before this song, Michael is presented as a guy that doesn't give a shit. He's not popular, he only has Jeremy as his only real friend, but it's shown that he doesn't care about other people's opinions of him, he LIKES who he is. He's a catalyst for Jeremy's character, who always cares about what others think and wants to be liked, and is insecure about his character, and hates himself, which is why he took the SQUIP in the first place.

Now, Michael, in my opinion is an autistic-coded character. He stims and has tics as we see in MITB, he has special interests in videogames and comics, and he doesn't pick up social cues all the time, like in 'Two Player Game' when he doesn't realise Jeremy is going through stuff. It's shown there that Michael has a neat and straightforward idea for his future as a cool kid in college with Jeremy. But when he has that fight with Jeremy just before MITB, Michael's whole future, life and 12-year friendship with Jeremy comes crumbling down, after Jeremy called him a 'loser', a label that he used to take pride in. It's a drastic change that happens so quickly, which prompts him to have a panic attack.

With his psyce being utterly shattered, we don't see Michael in his usual positive, upbeat self, we see him as a vunerable, broken guy who had just lost his other half. As the song starts, Michael is initially angry at Jeremy, speaking roughly but managing to hold in his growing pain, as we see him have tics, push back tears ruthlessly, and cope through the door being knocked on which leads to overstimulation. But then he "looks in the mirror" and the mess he's in, and chokes on his tears. It finally comes pouring out. You can practically hear his anguish and despair. And after that, he speaks softly, but after the line "I wish i stayed at home in bed etc", he speaks roughly again, and talks about himself, not Jeremy.

Before this, throughout the song Michael sings it as if it’s Jeremy’s fault that he no longer wants to be friends with Michael, with the lines “through no fault of mine”, “ignoring all our history” etc. But now, he turns to himself, and sings the lines “Michael who’s a loner”, “god he’s such a loser” etc, basically turning the blame onto HIMSELF and saying ‘of course it’s your fault. Of course he would want to leave you.’ And the fact that he calls himself a loser, something that he took pride within himself, and says “I wish I’d off myself”, shows that under Michael’s upbeat and positive attitude lies a deeply troubled and insecure kid underneath, who in reality DOES care about what other people think and how he is portrayed.

That’s why Michael in the Bathroom is a masterpiece. It peels back the layers of an already established character and strips that character to their rawest and most vulnerable point, and George Salazar delivers all of those emotions masterfully.
