[artzychic27]

Have any fun facts about the science kids in scarlet beetle & Ikati black au or otherwise?

Marc:

This guy has always been tall for his age. In seventh grade, he was mistaken for a teacher’s aid

He got gum in his hair, let Marcel cut it out, and the rest you know

Makeover parties hosted by him, Cosette, and Jean

He doesn’t need heels, but he still wears them because they make his legs look badass

Used to wear glasses before he switched to contacts. He got bullied a lot, and his glasses were everyone’s favorite to flush down the toilet

Marc’s been a fan of Nathaniel’s artwork for a long time and had a little fanboy moment the first time he actually talked to him

Carries around scissors just to cut up his jeans

Competes in poetry slams and limerick contests… He throws up in private afterwards because he just spoke in front of a bunch of people

Considering joining the school’s soccer team during the spring season

He owns a shit-ton of jewelry so no one will question a certain brooch on his shirt

Jean:

Has been getting the lead role in dozens of plays and musicals since he was six and played JoJo in Seussical

Often auditions for female roles because he knows he can hit those high notes. He’s plays Christine Canigula, Annie, Matilda Wormwood, and Coraline

He wears sweaters and sweater vests primarily, and if he’s wearing a regular shirt, it needs to have a quote from a musical or playbill design printed on the front

His mom left him and his dad because… She was kinda the worst. She left to be with her lover and didn’t bother trying to get custody of Jean

They absolutely LOATHE Glee for the sole reason that Rachel Berry just… Is there.

Vice President of the theater club, assisting Myléne

A bit of a romantic

Developed a crush on Marc during their freshman year when he calmed them down when they were having a panic attack a few minutes before a show. After that, they just began noticing all these small things about him

He and Lacey have a “Black Eye Swear” Don’t ask, but it means they won’t tell other people a secret they tell each other under no circumstances, even if it prevents the end of the world

… Also, they crossdress

Lacey:

She’s cute, but badass

She loves thrill seeking and will be up to any challenge. Her friends all have white hair because of her

Lacey is the oldest of three and lives with her grandparents due to her parents dying in a car crash a few years back when she was twelve

Gets sunburned easily. Aurore carries a spare parasol for her

She likes rap music… That is all

Aurore:

She has the perfectionism of Meilin Lee, Light Yagami, Isabela Madrigal, and Bakugou Katsuki

Aurore has this need to succeed at every little thing due to her parents setting high expectations for her ever since was born from vocal lessons, to athletics, academics, the way she dressed, and even her hair when it started going brunette

Her friends keep trying to convince her to embrace the brunette, but her parents are still breathing down her neck

Her parents mean well, but they don’t realize the amount of pressure they’re putting on Aurore. It’s what drove their son away

She plays the violin, her little sister, Catherine can sing, and her brother, Rafael plays the cello

The Bellamy’s are almost like the Blight Family, overbearing perfectionist mother, silent but loving father, fraternal twins

Physically strong but oftentimes, emotionally weak

They Pride themself on being reliable and dread the day when people don’t need them

To cope, they do a little stargazing, embroidery, and oftentimes meditate

Doesn’t eat meat often. They’re not a vegetarian, they just don’t like the taste. Faux meat on the other hand? Delicious

Their parents are okay, but they tend to overwork Denise as the oldest twin and the strongest in the family, but Denise is too nervous to call them out and sucks it up whenever they have a muscle cramp

Makes sure Simon goes to sleep when he’s working on another video or doing some hacking. Just in case, they bring him some coffee in the morning

Tries not to be your standard spoiled rich girl, but… SHE LOVES GOING SHOPPING!

Indulges Reshma when she wants to go shopping. How can he say no to that face?

Is willing to fight an Akuma if he has to

Sometimes goes to the gym with Denise

A little cynical, but not on Max from Camp Camp’s scale… He’ll never measure up to such greatness and it stings

He likes grunge music, especially Riot Grrrl stuff… What? He support female empowerment and the death metal songs about periods get him through the week

Went through an emo phase two years ago… He doesn’t wanna talk about it

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.

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?

My Opinions on Be More Chill: The Musical

If you have never heard of Be More Chill, then I definitely suggest listening to it because I love the music and the story. Basically, Be More Chill is the story of Jeremy Heere, a junior in high school who is hopelessly in love with Christine Canigula. However, Jeremy and his best friend, Michael Mell, are the school’s biggest losers. When the popular clique (comprised of Chloe Valentine, Jake Dillinger, Brooke Lohst, Rich Goranski and Jenna Rolan) join the school play, Jeremy loses his only chance to bond with Christine. Rich decides to tell Jeremy how he became popular using a Japanese pill called a SQUIP. (It stands for Super Quantum Unit Intel Processor.) The SQUIP implants itself in the user’s brain and tells them how to act. Later, Jeremy decides to take the pill and it has a few side effects. The SQUIP blocks Michael out of Jeremy’s life, makes him date Brooke and shocks him if he doesn’t comply. This all leads up to Jake’s party where Rich sets a fire trying to destroy his SQUIP, Chloe almost forces Jeremy to have sex with her, and Michael has a panic attack after Jeremy ends their friendship. The SQUIP convinces Jeremy to give SQUIPs the whole school, but Jeremy backs out when Christine rejects the SQUIP pill. Jeremy tries to stop the SQUIP, but Jenna has already given the entire cast of the school play SQUIPs. Michael ends up saving the day and everyone who had SQUIPs become friends. Jeremy also gets a date with Christine in the end. Of course there are things about this musical that I would change, but there are so many things that I love about it. 

 One of my favorite things about this musical is the ending song, Voices In My Head. The song starts off with all the characters telling Jeremy different ways to ask Christine out, but Jeremy decides to do it in his own awkward way. The song can be used as a metaphor for dealing with voices that constantly make you doubt yourself and the SQUIP is the personification of all of Jeremy’s anxieties and doubts. And at the end of the song the SQUIP comes back and tell Jeremy that he can’t get rid of it that easily, but Jeremy continues to sing over it and try to ignore it. Throughout the musical, you can see different characters dealing with their own forms of anxiety and I absolutely love the fact that the writers decided to acknowledge the fact that mental illness won’t just go away with one action and that coping with mental illness is an every day challenge. Although the concept of changing yourself drastically to fit it is cliche, the musical tells the story in such a strange and interesting way that I have been in love with it since the first listen. 

 Another thing I love about this musical is that every single character has their own problems and that they're all flawed in ways that Jeremy fails to notice. For example, Jeremy sees Jake Dillinger as the perfect guy: academically and physically gifted, good at talking with girls, and rich. However, in the musical all of these qualities are turned on their head. Jake is completely awkward talking with Christine and their relationship was strained and often times sort of uncomfortable. In the song 'Upgrade,' Jake mentions to Christine that his parents won't be home because they laundered money and are on the run. Despite the fact that he has lots of money, it clearly came at the cost of having his parents live with him and having anyone take care of him. Although Jake is both academically and physically gifted, he continously bounces around from different extracurricular activities. Throughout the musical, we learn that Jake does Frisbee-Golf Club, Archery Club, Model UN and he was doing the play as well. A lot of fans have speculated that going from club to club is probably due to an inability to commit to something (or a fear of doing so). This is further proved by the fact that he and Chloe have an on-again-off-again relationship. Honestly, I completely love the fact that we are presented the characters through Jeremy's eyes in the beginning of the musical because Jeremy has a flawed view of all the characters- specifically Christine. Each character, even Jeremy himself, starts off as a cliche, but what the writers decided to do with each character breaks them out of that mold. 

 One thing that I would like to change about the musical is the portrayal of the girls in the musical. We don't get to learn as much about many of the girls as we do the boys in the musical. Christine is established to be an independent person who wants to discover themselves and doesn't really care what other people think. This is re-established later when she rejects the SQUIP pill and tells Jeremy that there is nothing wrong with her the way she is. However, we don't really get to see much of the other girls apart from Jeremy’s more skewed perspective of girls. Jeremy does romanticize the idea of dating a girl and it's shown by his obsession with Christine and the things he does to date her. I wish that they would have done more to develop the girls as more than just potential girlfriends. The writers did give the girls depth beyond just pretty popular girls but it still feels lacking when compared to the boys. I also wish that they had ended with Jeremy not dating Christine as I feel that would have given more depth to both characters. Despite these flaws, I love this musical and the message it brings. It constantly makes me question what I would do in a situation like Jeremy’s and it makes me wonder if I can even judge Jeremy for what he does. This musical blurs the line between hero and villian while also providing commentary about modern life and high school. Not only does this musical have a talented diverse cast and has some LGBTQ+ representation, but it also brings awareness to mental illness and the different ways in manifests in people. I think it's a great musical and I can't wait for its Broadway debut. If you've seen or heard Be More Chill, what are your thoughts?
