What’s your favorite thing about Be More Chill?
HOOOLLLYYYYYY BAAAAAALLLSSSSSSS
anon. you have unleashed a storm.
I LOVE BMC SO MUCH. BUT MY ALL TIME FAVORITE THING IS HOW EVERYONE IN THE SHOW FACES SOME SORT OF SOCIAL PRESSURE. EVERYONE IS MEANINGFUL. NO CHARACTER DOESNT HAVE A PURPOSE, SOMETHING THAT SOMEONE CAN RELATE TO.
Jeremy - He's the loser of the school. nobody knows his name, and nobody cares to. He's relatable because people feel trapped in themselves all the time, so they lash out at people they love and the people who TRULY care about them.
Michael - His BEST FRIEND abandoned him for fucks sake. Left him alone for popularity, and was expected to just forget and forgive? Jeremy flat out left him in ONE DAY. He's relatable due to the feeling of being abandoned, being left by the only person that you loved, being left by your "favowite pwerson."
Christine - She's shown as the Bubbly girl. Silly, can do no wrong, always happy. But she's not. She's not oblivious to anything going on around her. She sees that people are in pain, people are suffering, but she can't do anything about it, and it makes her feel useless. That's why she's relatable.
Brooke - She's always in Chloe's shadow. "The second hottest girl in School." And it upsets her. She wants to be seen, she WANTS to be loved. But everyone she's dated has tooken advantage of that love, even the person that she loved the most. She's relatable because of the feeling of being outshined, being someone else's shadow.
Chloe - Everyone sees her as some hot bitch, but noone cares to know her. To TRULY hear her. She makes bad decisions, she's mean, but she can be nice, she can be so goddamn nice. (not defending dywh...) She's relatable because of how people perceive her. People see her as an asshole, she'll fit that goddamn mold.
Rich - He's relatable because of the social pressure for people (mainly teenage boys) to be mean, to be bullies. If you're nice, you're some softy loser. People force themselves to be something that they're not, that's why he's relatable.
Jake - Popular. That's it. He's used for his popularity CONSTANTLY. Chloe only dating him for his popularity, Rich only befriending him for his popularity. And the one time he gets something that he's happy with, he doesn't know how to handle it and fumbles. He's relatable because even though he's popular, he's lonely.
Jenna - Always forgotten. Used for one thing, then ignored. She feels as if her only purpose is to please others. And if she doesn't? She'll fade into obscurity. She justs want to be a part of something, but can't even get that. She's relatable due to being used for someone else's gain.
i hope this makes you cry

do you have LGBTQ+ headcanons that you're particularly attached to? If so, which ones for which characters?
YES so many LOLLL under the cut cuz I rambled a bit. Also I'm afraid all of them are lesbian headcanons because I am + I really like analyzing stuff from that perspective. also sorry if any of these aren't very eloquent i'm not good at putting my thoughts into words but I hope this answers your question well enough!
And there's a couple more but these are like. the big ones i guess. or the ones I think about most often
Brick: Yeah obviously i was gonna say this. i usually headcanon characters as butch lesbians anyways but my friend headcanons her as a trans girl and i adopted that too and in my perspective its an interesting read on her character... it just means a lot to me i guess. i talked about this more in depth already (here and here) but idk if those held up/are still good. so you judge that for yourself but i guess it gives more perspective on that specifically
Courtney: She's so lesbian to me... i don't really know how to word this properly but like. her comphet goes crazy... it's like she's so nitpicky about how her boyfriends/male love interests act and behave that to an extent it seems like she doesnt even want a boyfriend. she's just performing heterosexuality by trying to make every guy that likes her into her idea of a "perfect man" but its not because she's attracted to a specific type of man, its bc she wants to be seen as the perfect girl and in her mind that's a straight woman (so internalized homophobia + comphet). like notice how she has a very specific idea of a guy in mind that she's supposedly into and wants to change duncan/scott/whoever else into but shes never actually into a guy like that. its only people who she would have to mold into being like that bc imo that's the only way she would be able to stomach being in a long term relationship with a man without feeling Wrong about it i guess
Jo: Admittedly her being a lesbian to me is mostly based off appearances, and I wouldn't call her good rep of butch/gnc women by any means, but she is to me. like you'd have a hard time convincing me of anything else. she's literally just a butch lesbian. Apparently people think this is stereotypical or something and yeah maybe but just bc it is doesn't mean butches will stop existing and i think it's nice we can find comfort/happiness in seeing masculine women in stuff we like as butches (despite how poorly the show treats them for being masculine)
Heather: She straight up just doesn't show interest in men canonically (except alejandro, who I see as a woman anyways) except when she's using it for strategic purposes/her own personal gain. I also think a lot of her disdain for romance from her teammates is not just bc she's unhappy and hateful but also because she's personally not interested in romance like they are (aka m/f romance). Also semi-related I've seen people say she was mean to lindsay/leshawna because she liked them and i personally hate that rhetoric, lesbian or not 😭 especially since a lot of her actions towards leshawna were racist and not just plain old mean. I do like heathsay though (<- I also like pinkberry (bmc) and I think they have a similar dynamic which is a discussion for a whole other post. but i thought yall should know)
Alejandro: I just think she's more interesting/her gimmick is more fun as a woman. She's a character I like already but its really just more fun to me to imagine her as a lesbian. And I headcanoned her as such already but one of my friends hcs her as an intersex woman and I thought that was really interesting so I just adopted that as well lol
Harold: trans girl + lesbian.. again this was initially adopted from a friend but I think it makes a lot of sense. Sorry for not elaborating on this one as much i do have thoughts on it but I don't really know how to phrase them right now? maybe ill elaborate another time idk I've written about it before but I don't think it's up to snuff enough to post on here (yet)

In dental laboratories, exposure to crystalline silica can occur during procedures that generate suspended mineral dusts, e.g. dispersion of mixing powders, removal of castings from molds grinding, polishing of castings and porcelain, and use of silica sand for blasting. There is also a large list of toxic agents (acrylic resins, polymeric materials, etc.) used to produce removable and fixed prostheses, but also impression materials and more. Using personal protective equipment and other aids reduces the exposure to these potentially harmful agents.
We report the case of a 42-year-old male dental technician who began to suffer from a dry cough and exertional dyspnea after approximately 15 years of work. The operations he conducted for his job resulted in the generation of crystalline silica, aluminum, chromium and titanium dust. The worker did not regularly wear personal protective equipment and some of the above operations were not carried out in closed circuit systems.

Sheet molding compound process & Compression Molding
What is SMC?
SMC is a flat sheet-like compound manufactured by spreading long strands of chopped glass fiber & under-saturated polyester/phenolic/vinyl & acrylic modified resins to produce a high-strength moulding compound. SMC material is used in the compression moulding process. SMCs are generally used to mould parts in complex shapes. This thermoset material is suitable for making automotive parts, high-strength electrical parts, corrosion resistance needs, and various structural components because of its outstanding capabilities, surface appearance, and electrical insulation. SMC is normally supplied in rolls, which are split into smaller pieces called "charges". Compression moulding is a procedure that uses heat and pressure to create anything from basic shapes to complex mould products.
Compression Moulding process
Compression moulding is a manufacturing process in which a pre-determined amount of moulding materials are pre-heated and compressed into the desired form using two heated mould cavities. It is a high-volume, high-pressure moulding technique for complicated, high-strength fibreglass reinforcements. Thermoset composites are the most common type of material used in compression moulding & SMC is a thermoset material. It has the advantage of being able to mould large, fairly complex parts. Furthermore, when compared to other moulding methods such as transfer moulding and injection moulding, it is one of the least expensive; additionally, it wastes relatively less material, giving it an advantage when working with expensive compounds. Manufacturers who are used to working with metal parts will find it very simple to convert a metal object into a compression moulding part.
Process of making SMC sheet
Step 1. Paste Reservoir releases a measured amount of specified resin paste onto a plastic carrier film.
Step 2. This Film passes under a chopper which cuts the fiber (Glass fiber/carbon fiber) onto the surface.
Step 3. Once these have moved to the depth of the resin paste another sheet is added on top of the fiber like a sandwich.
Step 4. Later these sheets are firmly pressed together and then stored in a form of a roll at a pre-determined thickness.
Step 5. Then these sheets are allowed to mature for 48 hours.
Advantages of SMC
SMC is lightweight when compared to other materials from metal to BMC (Bulk Moulding Compound).
Being light in weight does not make SMC weak. It is robust, long-lasting & resistant at high speed.
While metals & minerals get easily corroded in acids & sea water, SMC is chemical corrosion resistant.
SMC is a flame retardant material. To achieve a high flame retardancy several additives can be added.
There is low emission of toxic smoke or hazardous gas from SMC.
SMC also outperforms other materials in terms of electrical strength, water absorption, and surface resistance.
The thermal stress is much more compact than that of metal.
The service life of SMC is more than other materials.
The simple process of SMC helps to produce in large quantities in a very short period.
Manufacturers can save money as there is minimum labour cost & less wastage.
Composites offer a high strength-to-weight ratio, which results in improved performance, easier installation, and better product transport, as well as lower environmental impact and fuel emissions.
Applications
The rising cost of cast metals is pressuring manufacturers to consider alternate materials of metal. As thermoset components have very unique properties-exceptional strength, lightweight, corrosion resistance, exceptional thermal properties, and electrical non-conductance it makes them more desirable over other materials available. The sheet moulding compound (SMC) market report analyses the growth, which is currently growing due to the above-mentioned reasons. Here are some fields of application:
Electrical & Electronics :
Electrical connector
Circuit breaker
Motor parts
Electric switchgear
Electrical insulator parts
Electrical junction boxes
Satellites Aerials / Dish Antennas
Automotive :
