be more chill iceberg because i got bored !!!

inspired by @yappyphantom

[nezumithewriter]

i just finished the be more chill book

was very uncomfortable the entire time but my biggest takeaway is "why did the squip even think interrupting a play during the middle of a scene to deliver a heartfelt speech to someone known to love theater would work"

[silkvn]

Enough about how Book Squip made Jeremy embarrass himself in front of an entire audience during the Play. We need to talk about Squip making Jeremy draw A FAKE V-LINE WITH SHARPIE?

“THAT LOOKS GREAT! TOTALLY EFFECTIVE!”

Book Squip I can’t do this anymore.

It immediately gets pointed out too 😞.

“Uh, birthmarks.”

My cringefail duo </3.

[your-stranger-halfblood-things]

Michael: Will you die for me?

Jeremy: Do you want me dead???

[thesquirrelqueer]

obsessed with the fact that in the bmc book, rich is described multiple times as being short and having a red streak in his hair and those are the ONLY physical descriptions for him

[jennazed]

So today I was kinda bored and decided to read the "Be More Chill" book to see if there were any differences between the book and the musical.... and OH BOY WERE THERE SOME DIFFERENCES!!! I wrote down some of them, enjoy (beware spoilers obviously)

Jeremy has humiliation sheets to quantiatively determine how much of an incel he is

Madeline is now Elizabeth?

Who tf is Mark, why does he exist, and why is Jeremy friends with him?

Everyone knows Jeremy wrote the letter to Christine, but now he wants to give her a chocolate shakespeare bc he is a total flirt (TM)

Jeremy's mom is around and has a divorce lawyer-ing firm with his dad now

Michael is a white boy with an asian girl fetish

JEREMY IS A THEATER KID! JEREMY IS A THEATER KID! JEREMY IS A THEATER KID! JEREMY IS A THEATER KID! JEREMY IS A THEATER KID!

Mr Reyes doesn't microwave his own hot pockets, he uses child labor to do so instead

Christine is super angsty like she needs an anger management therapist or smth

Michael's brother got a squip apparently and is going to Brown University

Oh btw, Jeremy's dad doesn't even wear underwear around the house he just lets his son see his junk?

Michael also has a knee fetish apparently???

Sadly, the play is the actual Midsummer's Dream and not a Midsummer's Nightmare about Zombies

Ok Christine is no longer angsty?

Nvm she is angsty again that was quick

Jeremy goes "Heh-heh." a lot

According to Michael, all girls are shirt thieves and should never be trusted

Ok Christine is no longer angsty again and apparently she is very specific on how relationships are supposed to be formed bc of course she is

The whole Halloween party is now a school-sanctioned event

Is Jeremy a furry? what does "sometime tonight I’ve got to find pics on the Internet of girls with tails" mean???????

Instead of dressing up as Juliet, Christine dresses up as a prostitute angel for the halloween party

Btw michael knows all about the squip from day 1, his brother has one

Rich does his whole ITS FROM JAPAN moment at the halloween party instead of while pissing

Rich's halloween costume is marijuana

the squip is no longer "top secret can't even look it up on the internet shit" bc there's like 361 results for it on yahoo apparently

Jeremy's dad might have been gay for Ben Franklin

Instead of using his Bar Mitzvah money, Jeremy steals his aunt's beanie babies to finance his squip

LORE!! The guy from the lady's running shoes place who gives Jeremy the squip, his name is RACK LMAO

Jeremy keeps his squip-shenanigans secret from michael so we don't get the awesome sequence "try to say something cool" "i think i just blew my bar mitzvah money on a wintergreen tic-tac" "yeah not cool" :(

RACK instead of the squip says the "You can also set me to Sean Connery, Jack Nicholson, Sexy Anime Female hehehehe" line. This change is devestating

"The gayer it feels, the better your posture" YOU HEARD IT HERE FOLKS GAY PEOPLE HAVE BETTER POSTURE

In the book, the squip can see into parallel universes bc quantum physics

Brooke is Anne

Jeremy flirts with Chloe instead of Brooke/Anne man they really changed a lot of stuff around yk

Eminem dies like immediately. That squip DEFINITELY killed him lol

Fun fact: Jeremy is NOT circumcised!

Apparently you just think about the squip turning off to turn it off wow

Jeremy now does pushups whenever he sees an attractive guy on tv instead of whenever he thinks about sex

SQUIPS CAN CONTROL YOUR DREAMS? THATS SO COOL!

lol the squip hates singing

Jeremy instead of the squip says "up up down down left right left right B A start"

wait Brooke is in the book? Then who tf is Anne???

Madeline is now Katrina?

The squip becomes murderous if you drink, i love it!

how does jeremy not know what a pheromone is but is perfectly able to memorize monologues about how humanity has stopped evolving?

Jeremy is a professional boxer and will punch you in the neck and make your gameboy say "dont fuck with me >:(" if you mess with him, remember that folks

Apparently the squip thinks acting like a dog is cute?

NOOO! Some dude named Jason Finderman is the one who has his parents on the run for money laundering and hosts the party instead of Jake

Huh, no optic nerve blocking of Michael? Maybe this version of the squip is actually trying to help Jeremy

Poor Jenna :( she just wanted to talk about how Elizabeth is a slut and Jeremy turned her down

Apparently the squip is also a certified drivers ed instructor! Who knew?

JEREMYS DAD SAYS THE N WORD OK ITS PROBABLY FOR THE BEST THAT ONE GOT CHANGED

Ok smth is up with Jeremy, why is he confessing to Chloe while on ectsasy that he constantly dreams of her with a tail? AND WHY IS SHE KINDA INTO IT??

Fun fact: ectsasy turns the squip spanish

Apparently Chloe's boyfriend in the book is named Brock. Imagine going through 9 months of pregnancy and deciding that your baby should go by fucking Brock lol

Hugging legs is Jeremy's coping mechanism

I love this version of the squip: "TODO LO QUE USTED ES BUENO PARA ES SEXO DEL INTERNET." lmao

btw rich has a belly button kink

Rich named his pp Li'l Cheese Head

No michael in the bathroom moment, instead its more of a michael in a bathtub with an asian girl moment

Michael, who is still buddies with Jeremy :), rushes to tell him of the rich fire

I think rich set the fire bc alcohol + squip = murderous rage in this universe not bc he was trying to get it out

YOOO CHRISTINE IS GONNA BE A PSYCH MAJOR

Jeremy gets a therapist bc his mom freaks out when he tells her about the squip but the therapist is also squipped lol

lol all hollywood actors have squips, awesome

The squip's plan is to have Jeremy confess his love to Christine during the play in front of everybody but she calls him a loser… oof

The squip plans to write Jeremy's life story in a book and then have it kill itself with mtn dew red :O

THE WHOLE STORY WAS A BOOK JEREMY/THE SQUIP WROTE FOR CHRISTINE????? AND THEN IT JUST ENDS??????

That was one way to spend like four hours

[milolovesbmc]

Dude, can I just say this, I love your book!Jeremy design he looks like such a nerd and I love him for it <33

Here’s him in my art style !!

BMC BOOK RANT (I like it a lot)

tbh I feel like most people that find the BMC book too gross or the characters unlikable just... aren't in the age range? sure it's for teens in general, but definitely better suited for older teens. Characters may become annoying, but when you're in that moment in life (or you're already over it) where you can *really* understand the hatred and jealousy and selfishness of that age— you can't blame these guys. and the book does a good job of giving us plenty of perspectives, even if it's everything from Jeremy's pov!

I can't help but think most people who say it's just "porn with plot" are like 12 to 14 (but if you don't like it it's okay lmao even if you don't have a well fleshed out opinion idc). Because either way I don't get it? Unless you're on the asexual/aromantic spectrum (which I literally am! demi-romantic.) you might relate to all the sexual stuff— but not only that! I mean, all of the book is a metaphor for technology, which is so genius, and timeless! you could apply it to the current AI situation! It's a classic because it never gets old!

people say book!Christine is mean but... Honestly the only moment she was mean was maybe when Jeremy was telling her about the letter at the beginning? which yeah fair, she could have been nicer but it is also a weird thing to say, eh? the rest of the book, she was full of personality! and had great chemistry with Jeremy!

also Micheal, I might be biased because I kind of don't really like boyf riends (1. Because they remind me of me n my best friend and 2. idk they aren't good together) but I'm not that bummed that he wasn't as 'gay' as in the musical or 'nice' (which he is? he's much more sympathetic also?) or whatever. the asian fetish is definitely weird— but it's not like they act is normal... I will say I'm SO mad they didn't make him a weezer fan in the musical that would have been so fun. I just prefer book!Micheal because the fandom takes his musical counterpart and babies him to death (happens with all the characters honestly).

this isn't to shit on the musical, I love it! but it's completely different, It's a whole nother message. book might have not had the diversity the musical had (a bummer) but also like— it *was* the original lol. It's not like the author erased anything.

Overall, such a good book... like geniunly... really spoke to me.

The be more chill deleted websites

Last night, My friend @squippites , had informed me of these be more chill sites for book, that is long gone to time but can be accessed via the Wayback machine, these sites were:

these are all the sites and all are .com-based if you wish to find them and take a deep dive yourself, there's mostly info about squips, which we can take as probably cannon considering it was by the books creator, here are some of the amazing things these sites had shown. All of the voices the squip had/ the squip company was trying to get

The "squip cop" button, Im still trying to find out how you were meant to obtain this button as the site said you could, but a lot of the images links were broken

the "squiptionary" which has all of these great words that were made up for squips, including squiptes, squiple is my favourite though

a squip ad

the "creators of the squip" (the research paper was just about quantum computers in general)

these two fake products for the squip. one for helping people "make out" , and the other I'm still confused what its about

and finnally, I still wonder if this is true, and actually happened, and if anyone knows if it really happened, let me know the 2005 "squipfest" which was seemingly the most legitment thing on the site- cause it seems like it could of happened.

But these are all the photos i took on my first look around, I might do another look around again soon.
