#it’s a weird friendship coz he’s actually one of my mum’s old friends and he’s in his 50s 😂

[shanefilan]

Nothing better than seeing an old friend I don’t see often anymore and saying “love you” and having him reply “I love you more. No really, I do.”

It’s a big deal for my little insecure mind when I think I’m being annoying or over the top or whatever and I always thought he meant more to me than I did to him, but he introduced himself to my friends and called me his best mate 🥹

[drawingwithgreen13]

Things that don’t get as much attention in Be More Chill as they should (based on the original bootleg and audio)

Gonna put them under a read more coz this list is L O N G

Jeremy lifts his shirt up in his bathroom to look for muscles

Jeremy thinks of Robert De Niro as a ‘hero’ and a cool guy

Rich literally lifting Jeremy up by his shirt collar when Gerard’s legit 5′4

I’d say Jeremy sounds genuinely interested in play rehearsal but a lot of people already know about that

Pretty much all the shenanigans that go on during the first classroom scene, like Rich doing the finger-through-hand fucking thing to Michael

Jeremy outright says he has small nuts

Michael wears his hoodie all the time until he sees Jeremy

Michael knows about Jeremy’s thing for Christine and is supportive of him!

Jeremy writes letters to Christine

Rich doesn’t actually point to Jeremy when yelling ‘gay!’, he just holds his fist up (or he points with his pinkie, I didn’t see)

Jeremy gets surprised by Michael when the two are at the door to play rehearsal, which is where the line ‘I guess evolution's not for everyone...’ comes from

MICHAEL THREATENS TO MOCK JEREMY FOREVER IF HE DOESN’T GO TO REHEARSAL WHAT A NERD

Christine tries to make a joke

Christine knows about sex and makes jokes based on it (’You’re a virgin. First play rehearsal!’ ‘You never forget your first...play rehearsal!’)

All the shenanigans happening in the background of Mr Reyes talking about the play (Jake pumping his fist up when Mr Reyes talks about the sport team and RICH GOING ON HIS KNEES TO PULL A CHAIR UP FOR BROOKE TO SIT ON)

Mr Reyes hugging Christine after saying Shakespeare is dead

Jake trying to be smooth with Christine and Christine obviously being kind of bothered by it, but trying to be kind

THE LITTLE EXTRA PART JEREMY SINGS WHERE HE TALKS ABOUT HAVING A BREAKDOWN THIS BOY HAS HAD BREAKDOWNS FROM NERVES

Rich’s hips during ‘confidence’, you know the one

Rich slapping himself for talking with his lisp

Rich pretty much hinting that he has a small dick

Whatever those weird hand things he was doing were during the ‘it’s from Japan’ part

Slide-y slide-y ‘IT’S FROM JAPAAAAAAAN’

How when Rich sings the next part, a robotic voice plays in the background, almost like it’s his SQUIP talking...?

More hip wiggles

‘TEENAGE ROCKSTAR SPLENDOR’ AIR MICROPHONE AND MORE HIP WIGGLES

Jeremy is a clean freak by the looks of it (’Aren’t you gonna wash your hands?)

Rich’s dancing (THE SHIRT LIFT THO)

How Rich flushes the urinal at the end

All the shenanigans during Two Player Game (stealing controllers from each other, switching beanbags, Michael fucking Tickling Jeremy)

The boys like Nintendo!

Jeremy getting annoyed at Michael’s constant ‘coooool at college’es

Mr Heere entering his son’s room, knowing fully that there’s a guest in there, WITHOUT PANTS

‘Are you hanging out with a girl? Oh...hey, Michael.’

Mr Heere was gonna order pizza for them aww

Michael sounds genuinely concerned when Jeremy talks bad about his parents

Jeremy legit flips Michael off after he says ‘favouwite person’

Michael reminding Jeremy to get to the point during the SQUIP deal

Scary Stockboy is more of a drama queen than Mr Reyes, who’s a drama teacher

Michael’s ‘whatever’ look at Stockboy’s ‘I DON’T KNOW WHY!’

The fact that the ‘pumps’ line was improvised

Jeremy was willing to share the SQUIP with Michael

‘I like to think that some day, you’ll owe me one’ FORESHADOWING

Mountain Dew can apparently be sold in cups?

Jeremy likes chilly fries apparently

Jenna immediately going to record Jeremy spasming on the ground

(The rest is just gonna be from the audio now) Jeremy sounding high as fuck when he says ‘you look like...Keanu Reeves’

Eric not being able to do a British accent for the life of him

How fucking excited Jeremy sounds when he says ‘LIKE IN X-MEN??’

Jeremy’s first independent shirt choice was...a girl’s shirt. What does that imply with his fashion sense? Or maybe he’s so thin only girl’s tops can fit

Chloe making Madeline sounds like the person who murdered her entire family in front of her

How fittig Lauren’s singing style is for ‘Do You Wanna Ride’ like wow?

CHLOE SINGS WITH BROOKE LIKE WHAT, CHLOE WAIT UNTIL ACT 2

The scene where Jeremy is tiredly singing before going to sleep and the SQUIP calling him ‘slugger’

Chloe is, like...really selfish. The way she talks to Christine about Jake makes it clear she isn’t over him

Christine sounding genuinely upset that Jake didn’t go to play rehearsal, and not just sad-upset. She sounds legit betrayed

Jeremy and Christine slow dance Jeremy lifts Christine up and spins her do you see the love in his eyes when he’s looking at her

How well Will C’s and Stephanie’s voices go together

The SQUIP literally breaking ‘cause Christine said she liked Jake

The fucking volleyball line, SQUIP you’re gross

How convincing Will C’s crying is (side note but hearing him cry makes me think back to the fact that during one show he legit started sobbing during the ‘everything about you is so terrible’ line and the show had to stop to calm him down)

BROOKE IS A GOOD GF WHOEVER SHE ENDS UP WITH IN THE FUTURE IS LUCKY

‘Super old and kinda mean to women’

The SQUIP saying he ‘didn’t exactly’ kill Eminem, when in fact, it didn’t kill Eminem, at all. It just predicted a favourable possible outcome for it happening

This isn’t an underappreciated part but I need to bring it up. They straight up killed Eminem (this happened in the book too like Ned u good?)

‘Our future is so clear’ is Brooke thinking about her and Jeremy’s future together?

Whatever her and the SQUIP are doing to Jeremy to make him question his sexuality

WILL C LEGIT SOUNDS LIKE A YOUNG BOY OR A GIRL WHEN HE REPEATS THE ‘UPGRADE’S

Jake is a good boyfriend if kinda a dick at points

Jake Boyd can fuck me up

Eric going l o w when singing with Jeremy at the ‘Christiiiiine’ part

Jeremy gets overwhelmed by voices in his head

The SQUIP is okay to just...leave Jeremy’s head

Michael gets genuinly sassy when he’s upset

Despite Jeremy ignoring him all day, he’s still super excited and happy for Jeremy when he finds that the SQUIP worked

Jeremy literally stating that being honest doesn’t get him anywhere

How we never see Michael’s reaction to Jeremy optic-nerve blocking him? Like, we don’t know if he was sad or angry or confused or all three?

Brooke is a flirt when it coms to Halloween costumes

Jake has...a condom. As if that’s the only thing he’s bringing to the party

Rich has an older brother! Who happens to have a Jason mask

Also, a loaf of bread...

Jeremy being a n e r d with his costume

Apparently the SQUIP wears a Matrix costume?? There’s no bootleg with that footage but wow

Jake not understanding how to treat his girlfriend 101

Rich getting sad during the last ‘It’s Halloween’s

Chloe thinks Jeremy is cute

Chloe is, indeed, probably worse then Madeline when it comes to the sluttiness

Jeremy trying his best to be kind and polite even when Chloe’s pretty much on top of him

Chloe’s ‘flask’ is a baby bottle

THE SQUIP MAKES JEREMY DRINK IT CHLOE DOESN’T FORCE HIM

They actually kiss

The SQUIP actually speaking correct Japanese (and Eric speaking it well)

Chaos

Michael thinks his ‘clever disguise’ isn’t clever at all, judging by his tone

Jeremy and Michael had been friends for 12 years

Joe T took the part in the book where Michael said his BROTHER took a SQUIP and changed it so that someone ELSE’S brother took it instead (side note, this probably makes more sense considering Michael has two mums)

Michael thinks that Jeremy just wants sex with Christine

Will C’s acting is oof so good

Apparently Michael makes a lot of awkward movements with his arms during Michael In The Bathroom, which I find interesting

Also apparently Chloe’s the one knocking?

The scene where Jeremy and Christine talk o the couch

How upset Christine is that Jake and Chloe are having sex, so maybe Christine saw their relationship as more then just romantic...?

‘Popular people are messed up!’ Christine isn’t popular

The monster on the couch making weird noises along with Christine and Jeremy, and all of them laughing

Christine pretty much admitting that she may have feelings for Jeremy, too

Ok I wanted to make a post about this by itself but I need to mention it here, too. When Jeremy says ‘I thought we were friends’, do you hear how angry he sounds? How...almost selfish he sounds? It’s like the SQUIP made him act like he was entitled

The fact that apparently Rich wasn’t drunk or high during the party, so his actions were done while he was sober

Jenna’s ‘WAaAaAoOoHh’

Chloe straight up lying to Brooke about the sexcapade for the sake of them to maintain their friendship

How quick Brooke is to forgive her

How scarily accurate school tragedies are treated during The Smartphone Hour? Like, people make a big deal out of it, only because it’s drama. Like, seriously, the ‘R-I-C-H, can’t you see just how much I love your tragedy?’ almost gave me chills

Jenna, Chloe and Brooke all say Rich is their best friend for no reason? They just say it just ‘cause? What’s up with that huh

Mr Heere is so broken and lazy that he doesn’t even know his own son is starring in a play

How they kept the SQUIP giving Jeremy instructions, like, they didn’t forget about that good job Joe

Jeremy can drive, apparently? Unless that was the SQUIP’s doing like in the book

Jeremy sounds so frustrated with his dad for all the times he wasn’t there for him, due to his mother leaving. In my opinion? He totally deserved to say that

Paul sounds like he’s crying when the first part of ‘The Pants Song’ is playing?

HE LEAVES THE HOUSE WITH NO PANTS MR HEERE ARE YOU GOOD

What shirt is Michael even wearing

He and Jeremy like Weird Al!

The fact Michael tries to hide the blunt from Mr Heere

The fact that Mr Heere thinks its incense

When Mr Heere says ‘do you love him?’ and Michael responds with ‘...what?’ he doesn’t sound like he’s been caught, it sounds more like he’s genuinly confused as to why he was asked that, so maybe it wasn’t intended to be romantic?

Mr Heere calls Jeremy a little shit and I love that so much

Michael is aware of how much of a ‘not-dad’ Mr Heere has been and calls him out on it

Again, how school tragedies are really treated is scarily accurate. It’s clear Christine’s saying what she’s saying because obviously you’re an asshole if you ignore the person in the hospital from a fire, even if you never talked to them

‘Break a leg!’ ‘Not cool’

Jeremy saying that Christine didn’t help him figure himself out, right after she asked. Wow Jeremy way to be an ass

Mr Reyes being the understudy for two characters like damn

(I forgot to talk about The Pitiful Children so I’ll talk about it here) how quickly Jenna is ready to take a SQUIP, thinking it’s a drug

The SQUIP thinks that showing sadness is a human error

ALSO FORGOT TO MENTION THIS EARLIER BUT THE SQUIP WEARS DIFFERENT OUTFITS

How Joe T literally couldn't’t make it anymore obvious that the drink for the play was gonna SQUIP the whole cast

Mr Reyes wants to go to Broadway

The SQUIP’s mock sigh

Michael literally refusing to give Jeremy the MDR ‘cause he wants an apology

The SQUIP blocks Jeremy from speaking

How they’re both arguing while the SQUIP makes Jeremy physically fight Michael

Michael likes to eat eel

Jeremy and Michael are jealous of each other

Oh yeah uh Michael is high throughout all of this

How Will C’s voice breaks when he says ‘I’m SORRY!’

‘Actually, that doesn’t sound weird at all’ Jake what do you like to watch online

Jake says ‘Upgrade! Upgrade! GOD, I love me!’ 

Chloe thought Jeremy slept with Brooke

Michael doesn’t like girly stuff by his ‘ugh...’

Jenna seems to have been given the power to tell what happens through her mind or something?

When Christine sings about wanting to be with Jeremy. I’m like 95% sure that’s not just her SQUIP telling her to say that

Jeremy made Christine drink the MDR, not knowing that it was gonna get rid of all of the SQUIPS. He willingly offered to sacrifice his happiness and freedom for the sake of freeing Christine. If y’all think that he just has some sorta puppy crush on her, I don’t know what to think

Not super unappreciated but Michael screaming with the others ‘cause he’s freaked out

How casual Rich is when Jeremy wakes up in the hospital

Rich decribes the SQUIP as a ‘shiny, happy hivemind’ 

Rich refers to himself by his full name, and not just ‘Rich’

How quick he is to assume Michael is Jeremy’s boyfriend

‘I’m sure some special someone will be lucky to have you, Rich’ is Michael hinting at something, here?

How fucking excited Michael gets when talking about how the SQUIP was destroyed. Like, this boy loves tech and science so much!!

When Jeremy asks why Michael came to help him even after all the stuff he did, Michael immediately responds by saying his dad also helped.

Jeremy sounds like he’s happy crying when he sees his dad

‘It’s reassuring. He still doesn’t know anything about girls’ most people take this line as Michael saying he’s happy ‘cause maybe he has a chance with Jeremy. I think it was originally written as a sorta ‘oh, good, he still doesn’t know about girls, the SQUIP didn’t change him too much’

Mr Heere is legit good at romantic advice

Michael gives not very good advice, presumably because he, too, doesn’t know a thing about girls

‘Tell her that the exthites you thexthually’

The fact that Chloe mentions doing ecstasy is a cool nod to the book

Jeremy is, indeed, an acne boi

Jake is almost as 90s as Michael

The fact that Christine’s original SQUIP was Hilary Clinton raises a lot of questions

Since there’s no visual aid for this, I’m just going by what I’ve heard. Apparently, after Christine agrees to go on a date with Jeremy, HE KISSES HER.

Jeremy proudly confronts the SQUIP. You go boi

Holy FUCK this list was way longer than I thought but it was worth it. I wanna draw stuff for some of these moments in the future damn

When We Were Young - George Daniel CHAPTER ONE (bikes)

Hello everybody!

Posting my newest story, one about Georgie boy, on here to try to get more exposure! I usually write on Wattpad but it’s pretty difficult to get noticed among the billions of freaking stories! I’ve posted two more chapters over on my Wattpad account (telephoneyou) and I’ll probably post them here tomorrow but for now, here is chapter one.

Enjoy!

May, 2003

I squinted my eyes, my hand above them attempting to block out the sun. I was looking down the street for my friends, I'd been waiting about ten minutes now. It wasn't cold, but it certainly wasn't warm. About 21 degrees, Spring. Where were they? God, they took forever to do anything.

"Evie?" It was mum. "Where are they? Want me to call Denise?" She was standing on the porch of our house, not really yelling, her voice was just quite loud in general.

"S'okay!" I called back, still looking in the direction I was expecting them. "They'll be here in a minute." I knew mum would stand out until they arrived, she was worrying a bit now I could tell. She always worried about me, about my friends, I didn't know why really.

"What time did they say they'd be here?" She called again.

Huffing, I turned around looking at her. Mum was thirty-nine, forty next week actually. She was a kind woman and a really great mum to me and Lauren. I was thankful for her, even if I didn't always show it. She was pretty too, you know, for a mum.

Her medium length chestnut hair blew in the wind as she watched me. "Twelve," I looked at the silver watch on my wrist. "It's only quarter past."

I turned back and watched as some leaves on the ground blew with the wind-damn wind, I shouldn't have worn my lipgloss today. I pulled my blonde strands off my lips, great, now they were sticky and gross and I'd just washed my hair this morning.

"Evie!?"

"What mum!?" I groaned, turning around my response sounding ruder than I had intended.

"Evie, I'll call Denise to see if they've even left. I don't want you waiting out here if they haven't even left yet honey."

"Fine," I mumbled under my breath. Hitching my backpack up higher on the one shoulder it was hanging, I followed mum back into the house.

I sat on one of the stools at the bench while mum dialled the numbers she knew off by heart. She looked at me, the phone against her ear, waiting. I poked my tongue out, she laughed.

"Oh Den, hey, it's Mel." I fumbled with my fingers while I waited. I really needed to paint my nails again the blue I had on them was looking yuck. "I'm fine love, look ju-"

A knock sounded at the door. I jumped up as quick as ever and ran, opening it.

It was my best friend.

"Hey Matty!" His face was wide with a huge smile that I mirrored back. He had the same backpack on his back that I did except his was black, mine being pink. We got it together last Summer when we went school shopping with our mums.

"Hey Evie, you ready?" I looked over his shoulder and could see the others on my driveway.

I nodded. "Uh-huh. I was waitin' out the front for ages but mum made me come in, now she's on the phone to your mum." Matty laughed.

"Sorry! George couldn't find his helmet and his mum wouldn't let him leave without it."

"That's okay. Lemme just go tell mum I'm going now." I ran back into the house, mum was still on the phone to Denise. "Mum," I half whispered.

"Sorry Den, one sec," she put her hand over the receiver. "What honey?"

"Matty's here now, I'm gonna go."

"Okay have fun and be safe. Remember, dinner with your grandparents at six so please be back by half five at the latest."

"Okay mum, bye!" I waved and ran off before she could say anything else.

I greeted the others as we reached them, the sun beaming down on us, I had to squint again. Matty climbed onto his bike, I attempted to follow but he stopped me.

"One of my pegs broke yesterday Eve, so you'll have to dink on George's bike."

"Oh, okay," I mumbled walking over to the newest member of our group, George. He had only started at our school a few months ago, I think he moved from some small town in America where he'd been living, although he did have an English accent like the rest of us. I didn't know him very well yet, we'd only spoken a handful of words to each other since he'd been hanging with us but he seemed nice, Matty and him got on well. "Do you mind?" George shook his head.

"Not at all, hop on." I did as he said, he was taller than Matty so I had to lean up a little higher. I stood on the two pegs and placed my hands firmly on his shoulders. It felt weird, different, but he was cool, I liked him.

We rode off down my street, Matty in the lead as always, George behind him and Ross and Adam trailing behind us. I looked behind me at the other two, Adam had some girl on his pegs too. I hadn't even noticed her till now. "Whose that?" I asked George.

"Who?" He asked, obviously unable to look behind us as he was riding. "The girl on Hann's bike."

"Oh, that's my sister Sarah, her and Hann are a thing...I think." I gasped, I had no idea. Everyone knew everything about each other in our little group. I made a mental note to interrogate Adam about it later.

"Are you guys close?"

"Who?"

"You and Sarah?"

"Oh, yeah I spose."

He didn't talk much George didn't. It was something I wasn't used to as I could talk the ears off anybody-as could Matty.

We reached our destination a little while later, the skate park. The boys liked to ride their bikes down the ramps and around the bowl. Sometimes I would stay on the pegs and ride around the bowl with Matty on his bike. It was scary but it was funny, I always ended up laughing too hard that we had to stop and he had to let me off. I didn't really feel like it today, didn't know why honestly.

"George, can I use your bike to ride round with Evie?" Matty dropped his bike to the ground, walking over to George and I-me still on the pegs behind him.

"Nah Matty s'alright I don't much feel like it today."

Matty frowned, eyeing me. "Why?"

I shrugged. "Dunno."

It was true, I didn't know. Ever since talking with George I just felt a bit weird and I couldn't explain it and it was bugging me.

I ignored the weird feeling and jumped off of George's bike, walking over in the direction of Hann and George's sister. It was nice to have a another girl around in our group. Lauren was usually with me and the guys but the last few months she had lost interest and started hanging around these really annoying girls from my school-I hated them.

"I'm Evie!" I waved at Sarah, sitting down on the concrete next to her. I pulled my backpack off my shoulder and put it in front of my crossed legs.

"Sarah," she replied.

Great, was she going to be a near mime like her brother?

"George said that you're his sister."

Sarah nodded. "I am."

I ran my hand through my long blonde locks. This was a bit awkward.

"You guys don't say much," I laughed.

Sarah smiled. "Don't we?"

I eyed her cautiously, uh what?

"Uh, no, not really. I mean, compared to me and Matty I spose," I laughed nervously. "We could talk to a brick wall for hours the pair of us."

"Are you and Matty best friends?" She asked. Finally! A question!

"Yep. I've known him since I was in grade four and he was in grade six, our families are really close."

"That's cute."

"Yeah..." I looked over at the boys laughing and having fun. Maybe I should have let Matty dink me on George's bike around the bowl coz I hated this conversation.

"How old are you?" Sarah asked me.

I looked at her closely for a second. She looked like George, only different. I think they have the same eyes, nice chocolate ones. Her hair is light, like mine, George's is a bit darker...more a mouse brown sort of colour.

"Twelve." I replied. "How old are you?"

"Fifteen."

I raised my brows. "Oh right, you're the same age as Hann." I laughed. "I forget he's so much older than me."

Sarah smiled, a bit wider now since I'd mentioned Adam. "Yeah, I am. You seem older than twelve though. Would have said you'd at least be Georgie's age."

Georgie, cute.

I shrugged. "I get told that a lot. I think I act older, I just have a bit of a baby face though."

"You do have a baby face," Sarah sniggered. "It's cute, I bet you'll have that baby face forever sweetie."

"It'll pay off when I'm forty!" I laughed.

Ross, Hann and Sarah left the skate park before me, Matty and George. Ross said something about helping his dad with the car and I think Hann and Sarah just wanted to go make out at his house or something.

We were riding our way back towards my house, me on George's bike again, Matty ahead of us.

"Your sister's nice," I tell him.

"I saw you guys talking."

"Yeah, I guess whenever there's another girl around I gravitate to them, there's a lack of them in my friendship group," I laughed.

"I like your nail polish," George suddenly mentioned. I held my fingers up from his shoulder, looking at the cobalt blue colour recklessly painted over my short nails.

"Oh, uh thank you."

"You're welcome Evie."
