I'm very normal about differences in dynamics between Jeremy and the SQUIP in each version of the musical, so I'm going to yell at you about it. And about SQUIPs in general tbf. This'll get kinda long

Ok, so in my understanding, SQUIPs don't all interact with their users the same. Each SQUIP's personality gets generated(?) during first activation based on its user's psychological attributes to achieve the best possible result. I also think SQUIPs are inherently benevolent but simultaneously amoral, which is why they eventually mess their users up in attempts to improve their lives

Another thing that probably isn't super important to all of this, but I still feel should be mentioned, is that while I do think their personalities are individually generated, I still believe they are just that. Personalities. All the reactions aren't simulated for users' benefit. The human brain is like a supercomputer, so why couldn't an advanced supercomputer be like a brain?

With all that out of the way, moving onto Jeremy and his SQUIP

In general, the SQUIP experiences the world and makes conclusions about it largely through Jeremy's knowledge. Which is exactly why it calls him pathetic and similar things. Because it genuinely thinks this way about Jeremy because Jeremy thinks this way about himself. So the SQUIP sees this as a fact. Additionally, deprecation motivates Jeremy to change just so it doesn't continue. This is a good strategy from the SQUIP's point of view because it produces quick results in achieving its goal

Now, let's talk about the differences

Two River: Jeremy wants his life to become better/easier but can't achieve this himself and doesn't believe anyone will help him. Becoming cool is a nice daydreaming scenario he doesn't expect to ever come true. Up until he learns about SQUIPs. And then he sees the SQUIP as his Only Chance To Be Helped. Which is why the SQUIP becomes so self-assured and condescending. It is Jeremy's saviour, his light at the end of the tunnel. It is the only thing that can help this pathetic little creature of a user. And it knows this. So it behaves accordingly

Broadway: Jeremy is an anxious mess to the point where harshness from the personification of his Only Chance To Be Helped would just destroy him. This guy needs some meds and support. So, the SQUIP provides support. The SQUIP sets an example. The SQUIP sympathises (if not empathises) because its user is so anxiety-ridden that he's going to either start crying or have a panic attack. He needs someone to stabilise him, he needs a support system, and he needs encouragement

West End (or, well. I've only seen the off-West End bootleg, but I don't think they made any drastic changes to characterisation between productions): for Jeremy, not being a loser brings a sense of vindication. Near the end of Loser Geek Whatever, when he realises he can be popular amongst his peers, he enters a mental state that I can only describe as manic. My guy sounds like all his rational thoughts left him, and he's riding that high. Which I'm assuming means that when this was only a daydreaming scenario, Jeremy was also a little too invested into/excited about it. And since making Jeremy popular is the SQUIP's primary objective, the strongest emotion associated with this idea had to influence its personality. I'd say this SQUIP is very straightforward and collected by default, but when it needs to hype Jeremy up, or when they are getting closer to achieving their goal, it gets more unhinged to varying degrees, depending on the situation. And because getting closer to achieving the goal is a process split up into chunks, the SQUIP gets more unhinged a little more often than one might expect

just a collection of Stewart Clarke SQUIP's, nothing to see here you guys just my guy being a guy

[iloveplayrehersal]

This is the musical hellfire club. Like the Stranger Things one but has nothing to do with D&D everything to do with fire

[carrion-aac]

so don't freak out, and don't resist. and have no doubt if i assist!

completely self indulgent au of veronica sawyer (carrie hope fletcher) squip because it would be so fucking funny if jeremy looked up to her or found her cool for getting out of That situation and then basically got himself into That situation (without the murder)

[thesquirrelqueer]

I love when people post a meme or video by abi clarke because then I get to go “her brother played the squip on the west end”

[bemorechiill]

West end squip :3

i haven’t watched the west end ver yet, so i hope i did good !!

[in-newjersey]

I have mused on the mutability of theater allowing many actors to inhabit roles so this is not necessarily a dig at the West End cast, but I do want to comment on being pleasantly surprised that white, British, red-haired twink Michael didn't supersede or even challenge George as the fandom's "canon" appearance re: most art/fan-made content

[daz4i]

ok i just finished watching that video and i think. personally. maybe. we should start killing tony voters and broadway critics with hammers. just a suggestion tho no pressure ofc xx

was anyone gonna tell me the man who wrote the lightning thief's musical also wrote be more chill. or was i just supposed to hear it in a wait in the wings video myself

[crystalline-sanders]

i hate this stupid stupid outfit but boy is it fun to render WHYYYY IS the SQUIP wardrobe Like That

[tacccalb]

Literally cant shut up about this. Let me tell you how much i LOVE the broadway BMC compared to off broadway/west end

**YAPPING ALERT**

Will rolands whole like- his acting, even his looks absolutely catch the feeling of weird outcast. idk, i think the way his hair is styled, the way he talks and his fidgets they're all just so endearing to me. I don't hate Will c, and i mean, ive only seen snippets of off bway bmc, but to me will c just looks .... better?? like physically better??? and prettier than will r and yes thats a problem, i mean hes supposed to be a loser nerd who stammers why his hair so beautiful

now we hve the album. lemme tell u i would ALWAYS pick bway rather than original cast, heck i listened to the whole bway soundtrack for 8 days straight. original cast recording is well, fine, and more pleasing with the balanced melodies and stuff and all the extra acting parts cut off, but wirh BROADWAY?? you can absolutely feel the feeling poured onto the album, it has emotion, like a lot of emotion imo so much so its way more easier to imagine an animatic to it, idk why theres barely any bway animatics. and, they dont cut off some of the acting parts, like how jeremy fills up the flask with squips and mountain dew, or christines I LOVE PKAY REHEARSLA 👹👹 part LIKE. listen. hear me out i might be biased but cmon

typed it all out bcs im SICK!!!! and TIRED!!!! of people hating on bway version 💔💔💔 let us embrace will roland jeremy and embrace glasses jeeremmy... pls...
