AUDITIONS INFO

if you want to be like mentally prepared on whats to be expected or something idk

---- all auditions here ----

actors/auditions FAQs

----

what you will be doing:

if you get a conducting video: you will be asked to sing along to a video of someone conducting. we are using conducting videos to make sure everyone is in sync, and i need to be sure you can follow conducting. it shouldnt be hard its sort of like a metronome you just need to be able to keep tempo, and understand when to start singing after a pause. there will be an example video (conducting along to the og soundtrack) and the actual backing track (conducting along to instrumental). please be sure the backing track is playing in the background and audible

if you do not get a conducting video: there will just be a backing track. if you dont get a conducting video dont stress about starting at the right time after a pause, just be sure you can keep tempo. we will still be using conducting videos for the actual remake, you'll just have to learn along the way if you get cast. please be sure the backing track is playing in the background and audible

----

what im mainly looking for:

your own portrayals of your character. im giving you complete creative freedom. say your line a different way, or faster or slower if you want. take a breath in the middle of the verse. make reaction noises. pitch your notes higher or lower if you have to go the troy iwata rich route. pretend youre actually doing the show live, some minor changes can be made here and there

you can keep tempo. of course if we have conducting videos it would be easier but if we dont, try your best and dont stress about starting at the right time after a pause. just be sure you can keep tempo while youre singing

not mic quality lmao. you dont need a professional mic or anything as long as whatever youre using is decent quality it should be fine. BUT please use whatever you will be using if you get cast. phone mic, singing recorder app, voice notes app, whatever

----

what you will need to submit:

MAJOR CHARACTER

REQUIRED:

an approximately 1 - 1:30 minute audio clip of a song from bmc. the required song for each character will be listed below

an approximately 1 minute audio clip of spoken lines of choice, recommended from bmc. i know there arent a lot of continuous spoken lines so you can just say your lines and pause when the other character is speaking if you pick a scene like that

OPTIONAL:

any song that makes you look good! give me anything you did best in, it can be from bmc but it doesnt have to. can be as long as you want. please be sure the video is fairly recent i need to see what you can do now, not what you could do 6 months ago

(edit we most likely will not be adding lgw)

-- REMEMBER I WILL BE ALLOWING A COUPLE MONTHS OF WIGGLE ROOM FOR AGES. you will just have to specify in the audition form

jeremy: required song: more than survive/voices in my head. take your pick age limit: at least 16 and up

squip: required song: the pitiful children age limit: at least 16 and up

christine: required song: i love play rehearsal age limit: at least 15 and up

michael: required song: michael in the bathroom age limit: at least 15 and up

rich: required song: the squip song. will NOT be required to screlt please dont kill your voice age limit: at least 15 and up

jake: required song: halloween. specifically his solo age limit: at least 15 and up

chloe: required song: do you wanna hang age limit: at least 16 and up

brooke: required song: do you wanna ride age limit: at least 15 and up

jenna: required song: the smartphone hour. will not be required to hit her high ass notes age limit: at least 15 and up

--

MINOR CHARACTERS:

REQUIRED:

a 30 seconds - 1:30 minute audio clip of a song from bmc. the required song for each character will be listed below

a 30 seconds - 1 minute audio clip of spoken lines of choice from bmc. recommended spoken lines for each character will be listed below

-- you guys are a little more relaxed lmao you wont have to do 1 minute clips. a little shorter is fine

mr heere: required song: the pants song. 1 - 1:30 minutes long recommended spoken lines: your choice but i recommend the argument with jeremy

creepy stock guy: required song: "it's from japan..." literally the only bit he sings. not sure if backing track will be provided yet recommended spoken lines: again literally the only bit he says

mr reyes: recommended spoken lines: idk anything he says take your pick. i dont think he sings

note: it is very highly recommended you are close to the og range of your character, so the sheet music writers dont have to transpose stuff and do more work. dont worry if you cant hit every single note! remember im being very lax with creative choices. this is from the concord records website so im assuming its accurate

you will be emailing your auditions files to bmcblr.remake@gmail.com and then filling out a form to verify your age.

JEREMY AUDITIONS: opens 29th may

EVERYONE ELSE: opens LATEST 10th june

----

IMPORTANT:

i WILL be asking for your age unfortunately. please dont lie about it, some actors are uncomfortable with certain ages and we have to respect that. also ill be able to tell when you start singing i promise you i wont share or remember it afterwards and i promise you i dont care lmao

speaking of remember there ARE age limits to all major characters. i might allow 2-3 months of wiggle room, 4 if we're pushing it, but you'll have to specify in the actual audition and ill have to check if your potential co-stars (wow CO-STARS we're getting serious huh) are comfortable with that

feminine and masculine voices wont matter! if you have a fem voice and want to audition for michael go ahead. if you have a masc voice and want to audition for brooke im not stopping you. as long as you can hit the notes well you should be good. if anything this makes bmc more gay and thats very on track with tumblr

there is a chance i will do callbacks and you might be casted as another character if i (or future casting crew) think you fit! but that being said please dont try to cheat the auditions and audition for one with the other in mind

there will be a "main" actor and an understudy who will also act as the characters squip in the play. the squip might have a main and then two additional others for the robot effect instead of just three mains, cause of different portrayals and whatnot. i might open additional auditions if there arent enough people interested in a character like jake and chloe, but AFTER the others are casted for the sake of fairness and all. if i dont, then the two other voices from the squip will step in

EDIT: we're not doing any of that lol

most importantly have fun with it! remember this is not a serious project we are just making our silly little remake

auditions will open a couple weeks later depending on the conducting videos cause lemme tell you end of school year is not the best time to do this

(this post will be edited if needed)

More for different characters on their way

[bazookapussy-stankhoe-5000]

BMC Headcanons

I have literally been thinking about this all day so

Christine knows sign language and taught Jeremy and Michael some and now they wont stop signing “i love you” at each other

(Rich doesnt know sign language and thinks theyre pretending to be at a rock concert)

Christine loves Disney and makes references all the time but Rich doesnt understand them bc hes never seen a Disney movie so she makes him watch a bunch of them

(his favorite it “Tangled”)

Michael drinks weed tea bc “I’m a refined stoner”

Rich is a musical buff so he and Christine sing musicals all the time together

Christine is also a history buff and her favorite musical is “Hamilton”

Rich is actually really good at sewing/cooking/etc bc his dad wont do any of that so he had to learn himself

Michael cronches bathbombs

(like if he and Jared existed in the same universe they would bond over cronching bathbombs)

sometimes Jeremy cries himself awake bc he misses his mom

Christine spends her weekends volunteering at the animal shelter and she spends so much time there they keep offering to pay her but she wont let them

Jake is actually really good at school he’s just kind of a ditz

(like he’s a complete math whiz and can recite the entire Constitution w/o hesitation but he forgets things like the role of Juliet in “Romeo and Juliet”)

Michael plays the saxophone

Brooke drinks five cups of tea per day

(during midterms and finals she pours monster into her tea)

Brooke and Michael are really good friends

Jenna has a bunch of hamsters and has dedicated almost her entire room to them

Chloe is a cat person and her parents got her a ragdoll kitten for her eleventh birthday and they are literally inseperable

(she taught it little tricks and everything and it likes walks and baths but it will literally only listen to her)

Brooke is totally more of a dog person and her family owns a chihuahua and a newfie

(they like to sit on her lap specifically chihuahua on top of newfie on top of Brooke)

Rich is a complete nerd and loves things like “Lord of the Rings” and “Harry Potter”

Rich has a bearded dragon named Voltron and he likes to put wings he made himself on it

(Jake thought Voltron was a band)

every Halloween the squip squad gets together to go trick-or-treating and watch “The Nightmare Before Christmas”

(Jake refuses to throw anymore Halloween parties)

despite burning his house down Jake doesn’t care and he and Rich are still best buds

when the squip squad has sleepovers Brooke and Chloe do everyone’s makeup

(the guys get more excited about it than the girls)

Jake wears crop tops

Rich exclusively wears tank tops even in the winter

Rich also almost exclusively listens to 2000s bops and literally prays to Beyonce

Christine’s favorite scents are citrus

Chloe writes faster in cursive than she does in print

Michael has terrible handwriting whether it’s cursive or print

(like to the point that even he cant read it)

Rich and Michael watch anime together (especially “Voltron”)

Rich is terrible at video games without his squip

Jake calls Michael “Mike” even though he initially told him not to

“Michael’s gotten so used to it that he doesn’t care anymore and is actually surprised if he calls him anything else)

Christine and Jenna get really really excited about the holidays and buy everyone gifts

everyone celebrates Hanukkah with Jeremy

Rich absolutely hates eggnog because he only knows about the alcoholic kind that his dad drinks and he’s actually a little scared of it

once Rich becomes friends w/ the rest of the squip squad he celebrates the holidays with them every year

(before he didnt really celebrate bc his home life kind of sucks)

(also after he first celebrates with the rest of the squip squad he lovesthe holidays as much as Christine and Jenna)

without his squip Rich has no idea how to flirt of be in a relationship so he is incredibly awkward

Jake doesnt know how to dab and cant seem to get it right

(like this vine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4Hl6Rx-n_s )

Chloe insists on Brooke carrying her and it’s to the point that she’ll just lift up her arms and Brooke will pick her up

Jenna and Christine are the groups’ moms

Rich and Jake play Wii Sports together

if Michael and Jeremy are playing a game against each other Michael lets Jeremy win sometimes

Jenna runs a blog and is working on starting a project to save the bees

Chloe plays soccer

Brooke sometimes insists that she and Chloe have a movie marathon

(their marathons can span days)

Jenna and Christine are the Platonic Power Couple™ that everyone thinks is dating but really theyre just good friends

(both of them are hella ace)

(Christine is aro/ace and Jenna is an ace lesbian)

the group would go to pride together

(Rich would wear the bi flag as a cape)

(Brooke would paint everyone’s faces w/ their flags)

Jake’s the kind of person that would casually mention he’s not straight and then be surprised that youre surprised

Jake would fist fight anyone who made his friends upset

(except for Rich because Rich would have already fought them)

Rich wants to open a bakery when he’s older

Brooke wears a pan-colored beanie

(even at school bc the teachers dont care enough to tell her to take it off)

Jake has his left ear pierced

Brooke is really good at drawing and runs an art blog

Brooke is very empathetic and acts as the group’s counselor

Mr. Heere’s first name is Greg

(don’t ask why it’s mostly cause he reminds me of Greg from “Steven Universe”)

on father’s day everyone gives Mr. Heere a little gift cause he acts like everyone’s dad

Jenna is a fanfic writer

sometimes the squip squad gets together to play Kahoot

(it gets really competitive and friendships are tested)

Jeremy understands that grades are meaningless in the long run but still gets really stressed when he’s not doing well in school

Michael likes to quote really obscure movies that no one knows

Jake owns a melodica

(he also knows how to play the piano really well)

Michael insists that he and Jeremy take pictures together to put on holiday cards and send them to all their friends

(Jeremy wears a Hanukkah sweater and Michael wears a sweater that says “HO HO HOMO”)

Rich likes to stand on top of things to feel taller

Michael wears light-up heelys

Michael always forgets which is left and right but instead of making Ls with his hands he checks his headphones

Rich believes in leprechauns

(every St. Patrick’s Day he makes Jake go leprechaun hunting with him)

(Jake anticipates it every year and keeps the day free so they can)

Jake is actually really bad at using electronics

Rich insults Jeremy affectionately

(one of his favorite’s is “noodle-boy”)

(at first Jeremy was offended but now he doesnt care)

Jake has owned his jacket for a really long time and it’s falling apart but he refuses to get rid of it

whenever Michael has to say the word “squip” he purposefully mispronounces it (ie squemp)

Rich calls people “godfucker”

the squip squad celebrates the fourth of July and Jeremy’s house because Mr. Heere likes to grill hamburgers and hot dogs for them

(Rich likes to help him cook)

Brooke has two moms

Michael drinks milk straight out of the gallon

Jeremy keeps buying new patches for Michael’s hoodie

Christine has an obsession with button pins so everyone pitches in to buy her a button maker for her birthday

the girls like to go to the Ren Faire

Chloe makes her own incense

Rich has Jake help him make snowmen in the winter because he always makes the bodies too big for him to reach to put its head on

Jenna runs a joke tumblr blog that posts cringey facebook memes

Brooke taught Chloe everything she knows about makeup

Christine stays up late sometimes to surprise her friends with gifts she made

Rich asks Michael to teach him curse words in Spanish

Jenna basically lives in Barnes and Noble

(Christine would but she doesnt have as much spending money so she lives in the library)

Michael likes “Undertale” because it’s got a cool storyline and he adores the animation

(he and Jeremy do voices for it when they play)

Rich bakes cookies for everyone during the holiday season

everyone has gifted Michael a new hoodie at least once but he only ever wears his red one and no one can figure out why

Jenna is in the color guard

after joining the play that one time Brooke found that she actually really likes acting

I am so sorry for such a long post, but feel free to add on if you want

Part 2

So some nights later Jake (he tries very hard) to carry Rich out with him to Jeremy and Michael who has a saddle, both to learn how to if he can fly rich, and incase Rich doesn't know how to fly since hes yet to see Rich do it. Rich is also a bit bigger than Jake so to move quickly once they get out to the wilderness Jake sets Rich down and is happy to find Rich knows his name and follows when called (Michael while waiting knows Jakes arrived when he starts hearing " come on Richie, Richie, Richie, good boy almost there, youre remember Mikey? Mikeys got a nice surprise for us! Yes he does! Yes he does!) Jakes saddle is made with a specific horn and stirrups even because Rich will climb on walls and Jake doesnt want to fall if Rich does that Rich takes a moment to recognise Jeremy can't hear any noises he makes but they adjust quickly and play for awhile Jeremy is excited "the dragon is here!!!!!!! I smelled him on the fleshy dragon and he is here!!!!" Jeremys dad arrives and is excited "my son has made another friend!!!!! Friend is nice!!!" he thankfully only feeds Rich meaning no puked up fish for Jake and Michael It takes some work to have Rich hold still to put on the saddle ( hes excited to play with Jeremy) but as long as Jake keeps scratching him it works out Seeing Jeremy and Michael fly makes Rich a wiggly boi like he wants to fly but it takes Jeremys dad giving a nudge for Rich to attempt to even get off the ground Rich can fly but he just neeeded encouragement bc hes never done it before They end up flying for awhile and its really nice, Jake and Michael even race eachother acouple times Michael won Jeremys dad trailed after mainly following to make sure they were okay. -- Eventually after several days of racing and flying around suddenly Rich, Jeremy and his dad began flying off towards a place that seemed to be a whole nest of other dragons And there was a dragon called the Blue Death (squip) that it seemed all the dragons were feeding. If they didnt feed it enough a a dragon might get eaten Jake was very shaken up about this and honestly very happy that Rich wasnt going to be part of that if he could help it. Michael felt similar about Jeremy but both were worried about Jeremys dad who they couldnt exactly stop Eventually Michael amd Jake were given a ceremony to kill a monstrous nightmare so they could graduate Only Michael couldn't And because the monstrous nightmare was in an enclosed space it went after Michael who screamed in a panic because he couldnt calm down a dragon thats trying to kill him out of fear Until a certain flamewhipper dove in through the opening and curled around Michael before shooting fire at the monstrous nightmare to protect him Jake then hopped in through the wire above to stand by Michael and Rich Chloes parents were pissed, took rich to find the islabd with the blue death and Michael and Jake were left to think about the fact Rich was being sent into a death trap as was everyone else Christine admitted though that she thought it was cool and thats when Michael got an idea Christine was introduced to a scauldron named madeline (i wanted a shakespeare ref but also to include canon vmc characters for consistency) A dragon that was kept in the academy like Rich Jenna got a stormcutter she named Dustin Chloe was met with a Nadder/changwing she named Brooke Most movie events happen the same except Jake had to free Rich and the blue death destroyed the ship the were on, breaking both of jakes legs in the process and Rich had to carry him to somewhere safe Considered ideas though if not all of those are quite fitting to ur liking: Jake didn't get a dragon until he decided to obtain get a whispering death that soon after laid an egg. Unbeknownst to him a screaming death was born which he then named Rich upon learning such Rich is a potentially dangerous and destructive dragon but he thinks Jake is his brother so he wouldnt do anything unless Jake wanted him to. Jake: ow my legs hurt Rich: !!! D:

MORE THAN SURVIVE

- Jeremy looks so genuinely disappointed that his porno isn't loading in time for school to start

- I know that people giving Jer his clothes is done so Jeremy doesn't have to run around the stage putting his clothes on, but I like to think in real life they just float out of his closet and attach themselves to him

- The walk he does to the bathroom. Lil penguin

- Mr. Heere pls put pants on i know its a running theme but pls

- Brook sleepin in the bus

- the way everyone on the bus is doing their own thing: michael listening to music, brooke sleeping, chloe texting, jenna doing her nails, jake on the phone, and christine with her face in her script im dyin shes so cute

- the little dances they all do at the end of every lil segment

- uh rich hits jeremy in the nuts???? Rich thats mean

- you notice how when Michael goes behind the pillar, rich follows him all sly, opening a marker with his teeth, so you know that rich has already bullied Michael by the time he gets to Jeremy. He also shoots jeremy a look like "ill be there for you next". I like the details.

- Mack Book Pro Hard Drive

- literally when Michael puts his hand to his ear and does the arm thing when hes jamming out makes me wanna die its so good and pure

- you ever notice how relaxed Michael seems at all times? Like his movements are so fluid and open and Jeremy's are shrunken into himself and stiff. The way he slurps his slushie casually before telling jeremy its fine to be a loser and the way he is so bouncy and everything. Hes okay being a loser. Also the way his face lights up when he sees jeremy is quality

- jeremy slowly bouncin to Michael's beat because even though hes in school he still gets relaxed around his best friend

- michael going "euch" while still smiling idk

- michaels face when he sees it says boyf riends

- their lame ass handshake i love them so much. Like he doesnt even have to prompt jeremy he just raises his hand and jeremy knows. Imagine how often they do this i love it

- christine is me when the cast list is posted

- the way michael looks at jeremy like "eh?" And jeremy nods like "yeah!!!!!" About christine Hes so cute

- michael teases jeremy about it. When they say "Christine canigula" and michael does the waving arm thing like "go over there nerd" and jeremy kicks him a lil like "shuddupppp"

Thoughts on Be More Chill? (you seem pretty fond of it)

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOYOURE DAMN RIGHT I'M FOND OF ITFirst of all Be More Chill the musical is different from the book. Some people disliked that, but apparently when Joe Iconic and Joe Tracz were asking the author about how to write it, Ned Vizzini said what made his book good was that he wrote it based on his experiences in highschool and turning the Musical version of Be More Chill into a more modernized version I feel like was a good approach and worked fairly well. A lot of the changes, since they wanted a more modern approach and wanted to explore the other characters, I thought were really good as they worked with what they had. Like the fact Rich lives in an abusive household, Or how they mixed details of characters in the books together to match the amount of people they had in their cast which in its own way did further develop the characters we're given like Jake suddenly being the one whos parents were on the run, and hes not just in sports but almost every extra cirricular.And this wasn't in the earliest version. As in Touching My Hand you get"Jake's already president of the model UN, been a football star since he was ten," And with that alone it wouldve been so easy to just write Jake off as another antagonist in a similar approach to the book where the most we get from him is that he's almost your stereotypical jock and the only thing that hints at possible change in Jake's character in the earliest version would be from the same song from Christine's view point"Dude's a pretty boy cliché as far as I can see," Where it could imply they were already adding more to Jake's character, or perhaps from the way we get that song its clear that we were already getting both Christine's and Jeremy's viewpoint.Another detail that I love is, everyone (except the squip for obvious reasons) is written as human. Jake feels like he needs to be the best at everything which seems like on account of what may have been pressure from his parents or just not wanting to dissapoint them and feeling like he doesn't have any other options in life, Brooke wants to be more than second best to Chloe because it makes her almost a shadow and she wants to be her own person beyond the second hottest girl in school, Christine's afraid of the impending doom that is having to grow up and head to college where youre expected to pick one thing you want to do for the rest of your life which she doesn't feel like she can do, Rich like Jeremy, wanted to be more than a figure you pass by in the hallway and it's clear that Rich's squip mightve been a last resort as he mentions being suicidal, Michael unlike Jeremy is quite happy where he is in life and sees it as maybe in the future they'll be cool it's only when Jeremy doesn't listen to Michael despite him trying to convince Jeremy he needs to get rid of his squip that hes upset and has a panic attack, and anyone can fight me on it but its also clear Jeremy wasn't the villian in this. He was scared and Michael ended up trying to tell him that the one thing currently in Jeremy's life that seemed to be helping him was actually trying to kill him which lead to Jeremy being defensive over it. Jenna wants to be friends with people, but people only lile her for the stuff she knows and don't personally care about her. Chloe clearly wants to be like Brooke and be more than the hottest girl in school but also doesnt know how to go about that, Mr.Reyes even was a teacher who wanted to be on broadway and probably had dreams as a kid to do that but now is teaching in a school in New Jersey and working at Hobby Lobby (a craft store) as a part time job, and Mr.Heere seems to suffer from depression as his wife left.And GOD I LOVE MR.HEERES CHARACTER BECAUSE anyone can fight me on this too MR.HEERE WAS THE HERO IN THIS. It would've been SO EASY for Mr.Heere to just say Jeremy was was being disrespectful and have it end in Mr.Heere showing up to the hospital and being mad at Jeremy for being that way or even having him go straight to trying to ground Jeremy. But instead Mr.Heere decides that it's because he hasn't been a good enough dad And that he needs to step it up for his sons sake and IF MR.HEERE DIDN'T DO ANY OF THIS HE WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN THE REASON MICHAEL TRIED TO SAVE JEREMY WHICH IS MEANS WE WOULDN'T HAVE "MICHAEL MAKES AN ENTRANCE!" THERES ALSO A TON OF HILARIOUS POINTS IN THE SCRIPT LIKE "Well IM JeREMY""There's neVER BEen a bETter tiME In hISTOry to BE a lOOOOOOOOOSEEeeer""Maybe you should watch the floor" "You don't have to do this. Of course I'll mock you forever if you dont" Christine: Are you okay?Jeremy: Hnnh?"I always...sweat this much" "Yeah! That was depressing." AND BEST OF ALLThe endingI feel like its common most people don't like ending because wellIts the end of the story we're given which isn't liked as much because it feels like the story is over and thats it, even if we know that thats not the case. It gives the feeling that Jeremys gonna go on to lead a happy and normal life with everyone even when we know better than to think that such a thing would be that easy where Jeremy and Rich can ignore their squips and feel like it was all a bad dream, and they manage to make that also clear in the end.The squips were supposed to represent mental illness and the intention of Voices In My Head was how even though everythings better is that it doesn't mean they just go away and I really love that they make that clear and how we get that sign that the squip isn't gone and I think the only reason we feel like it's the end is just because the major conflict is resolved hence why we don't like focusing on it.Overall I just love how they made everything work and they did a wonderful job working with what they had.

[actualbird]

bunch of bakunawa boy answers!!!

yes!! i like to think that while he’s still getting used to his bakunawa instincts fully manifesting, the closer it gets to the full moon, the stronger all his sea/moon longing gets. this translates into lots of sitting in the kiddie pool, looking at the sky with a telescope christine lent him, and hanging out with jeremy. 

plus his abilities also get heightened. i wasnt able to make it v clear in goodnight moon (aside from maybe like two sentences) since it’s in jeremy!pov, but mikey’s got Heightened Dragon Senses. not Too Much, but still better. his hearing and sight is better. he’s pretty damn fast. if he was a good swimmer in human form, his bakunawa form is that times fifty, times a hundred if the moon is full. while bakunawa magic comes mostly from the hereditary aspect within, it’s magnified by the moon, but nothing is Added. just strengthened.

related to above, it does get better!!!  while shifted, his eyesight is not just 20/20, but Really Fucking Good. like you know that post about the Nikon coolpix P900? that’s how good michael’s eyes are when he’s shifted. of course, when he’s human, it’s back to high grade glasses.

it takes him a while to learn this, but he practices partially shifting. like only shifting his hands to get claws, but without popping wings. when he finally figures out how to only shift his eyes into his golden, ridiculously good vision ones, he briefly entertains the concept of just keeping himself like that forever and ditching his glasses completely. but then he realizes that his dragon vision, while fantastic and very useful for when he’s in the air, is actually distracting and unsettling for day to day life. michael gets overwhelmed with the amount of stimuli his dragon vision picks up, put on edge by the high definition image of chalk dragging against a chalkboard or the barely visible stain on a shirt or how goddamn bright the lights are and and and---

yeah. he doesnt need his glasses, in dragon form, but he sticks to them everywhere else.

id like to think he’d hate them!! michael loves flying but with his own wings, thank you very much. 

it takes a long, long time for him to learn how to fly, and he cant get too high. airplanes get rather High Up There. for reference, most airplanes have a cruising altitude of at least 39,000 feet. the highest altitude regularly reached by a bird, the Griffon Vulture, is 37,000 feet. michael doesnt even try to get up that high because he’s heard the urban horror stories of harpies getting sucked into jet engines and meeting a gruesome death. no siree, i’ll stay a little bit close to the ground.

if ever he’s in a plane though, he can feel how high up he is, and he gets very antsy. i assume supernaturals should remain unshifted during flights, just so that everybody fits in the seat no problem, but when they take off, michael would just itch to let his wings out on instinct. 

(dragon brain is simple. michael: in the air. wings: out. thankfully, logic obviously stops this trail of thought before anybody is forcibly removed from anywhere)

hhhhhhh!! this isnt even dragon instinct anymore this is just michael being a dude who cares for his best friend. “GO BACK HOME AND R E S T YOU CAN SCHEDULE UR FINAL SOME OTHER TIME JUST SHOW A DOCTOR’S CERTIFICATE” but jeremy is stubborn and insists he’s Fine and goes to school.

he is MISERABLE for the entire day but he trucks on through the headaches and the sniffling and the fever in spite of, not only michael’s protests, but all of his friends. 

during lunch that day, since Jeremy refuses to go to the clinic since he’d get sent home, it’s Take Care Of Jeremy Heere Central. Chloe lends him her cool jacket because Jeremy was a dumbo who forgot his at home. Brooke gives him a box of tissues that are so soft and dont irritate his noise, also a bottle of hand sanitzer with glitter bits in them. Jake does card tricks for Jeremy. it helps cheer him up. Rich (who im basing his werewolf-ness on teen wolf), helps Jeremy out with his headache by taking his pain through a not-so-subtle fistbump that lasts too long (rich had to be sneaky because jeremy wouldve never agreed to transfer his pain. jeremy is too out of it to even notice that fistbumps 1) dont last for 20 seconds and 2) shouldnt feel this blissfull). Christine draws a sigil on Jeremy’s hand that helps with the uncomfortable chill he’s feeling. Jenna cashes in a favor from the school ghosts to make sure that Jeremy gets to all his classes fine and doesn’t accidentally fall down the stairs in his exhaustion.

and Michael, well. for the first time in his life he’s a little bit pissed at his bakunawa powers, because all it lets him do is know and sense all the discomfort Jeremy’s going through from rooms away. he doesn’t have healing or runes or ghosts and he has nothing to give that the others havent given Jeremy already. so when class is over and Jeremy trudges through the hallway, he does what he can.

“Your place? Blankets, hot tea, and a marathon of Dogs 101 episodes?” Michael says. Next to him, Jeremy in all his stubborn sick glory smiles weakly, sincere all the same, and bumps his arm against Michael.

“Yeah,” he says. “That’d be awesome.”

(The whole drive to Jeremy’s house, the ancient, fearsome, powerful part of Michael’s brain purrs contentedly.)

jeremy never smokes pot ever… he’ll just kinda be there while michael gets high

michael has panic attacks,,, and jeremys always there to calm him down. he knows exactly how to calm michael down and usually after michael feels better they take a nap together,,

JEREMY has sorta like ptsd after the squip,, hes rly scared that hes gonna start avoiding michael by accident?? or the squip is gonna somehow come back and take michael away from him,, michael is always there to reassure him that hes never going anywhere,,

seriously jeremy and michael are so soft n they rely on each other and know everything abt each other??? theyre so in love and they have NO IDEA like it takes them SO FUCKING LONG to get together????

everyones like a Squad after the squip stuff,, they all feel safe w each other?? like they know that no one else will ever rly understand what they went thru. so they all rly rely on each other for comfort

michael sleeps in his basement and it’s really shitty like the floor is concrete and it’s cold 24/7. He has rugs scattered across the floor and in the morning he probs has to jump on them bc he doesnt want cold feet so he has to jump from one to the next,,, his bed is literally a mattress on cement blocks and wood boards… so is his desk.

Michael’s voice gets lower when hes quiet and tired,,, (jeremy thinks its hot but shh)

michael has hiding his crush for jeremy down to a fuckign science

Michael WILL BEAT THE SHIT OUTTA SOMEONE FOR JEREMY,, HE WAS FORCED TO TAKE KARATE WHEN HE WAS LIKE,, 12 Y/O AND HES NOT AFRAID TO USE IT….

jeremy and michaels first kiss is after michael kicks the shit out of rich for punching jeremy. once jeremy n michael are alone, jeremy just??? grabs michaels collar and kisses him bc holy shit he just beat up some guy for him??

the fight cycle: rich beats up jeremy, michael beats up rich, then jake and michael fight until someone breaks them up,,

Not a headcanon but something canon that people need to know: JEREMY IS A FUCKING FURRY I HAVE EVIDENCE YOU CAN FIGHT ME ON THIS BUT I PROMISE I WILL WIN.

[adrianvsart]

michael/rich headcanons (expensive headphones)

gfgvg these are trash but it's almost midnight and i really wanted to do this ???????? Ima sob these are gross but here this is just how i imagine it would go;

- soon after "michael in the bathroom" michael had accidentally forgot to lock the door when he went to open it previously but then didn't. rich accidentally walks in looking obviously nervous and they both kinda look at each other scared - rich looks around and pats michael on back and gives him a reassuring smile and quickly leaves (cause he kinda knew what it was like) and michael is kinda like "what?????" - they both make it out of the fire !! everything pretty much goes the same way as it does in the musical - the first time michael decides to visit rich in the hospital was like really nerve wracking ("what the fuck???? Do ?? I do??? Hes gonna fucking annihilate me, this is the end") but he was really determined because he really wanted to thank him - rich seems hesitant at first but they pretty much talk until visiting hours are over - michael starts visiting him in the hospital frequently since jeremys still a fucking mess with his damn squip - one time during one of these visits, rich just kinda looks at michael and squints at him and is like "are you gay? you and jeremy were/are dating right????????" and michaels like dying inside - "how do you know that?" "you just told me" "damn" - basically rich just kinda asks questions and michaels like okay with i guess though he still feels embarrassed that he was outed to him in that manner - rich explains himself and michaels like youre !!! bisexual !!! rich omg !!!! - ok so the rest of the musical plot happens and shit and everyone's cool - when rich tells jeremy about michael visiting all the time in the hospital, jeremys gaydar is like !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - jeremy immediately ships it - rich is like what the fuck????? Are you smiling about you fucking loser?????? - michael and rich are both fuckin oblivious and jeremy is like dyinfg - michael begins to spend more time with rich and he starts laughing at every joke he makes and such and michael doesn't understand why he's doin this but he still goes along with it lmao no homo - rich is like denying so much more but like he knows feelings are there but just like repress™ - one day jeremy and christine are on a date in the mall and they both see michael and rich like just talking and like jeremy just g l a r e s - and christine rolls her eyes and is like "just go do it" and jeremy is GONE in 0.000000000002 seconds - "heeEy youuuuguYYYYYYS" jeremy is awkward but hes like done and he needs to let them know that they're honestly gayer than two-player game gay at this point - they just laugh it off like lmao nice joke jeremy youre so F U N N Y - like pass by a few weeks and michael kicks down jeremys door at 2 am in a cold sweat - "holy shit you were RIGHT" - also bonus: A GUY ID KINDA BE INTO BY RICH SINGING TO JAKE ABOUT MICHAEL - and like a few days after, jenna overhears michael talking to jeremy about the whole thing and she tells chloe and brooke and she tells them not to tell anyone BUT C H L O E doesn't get the message and - the whole thing kinda gets out of hand and now basically the whole school knows - MICHAEL DOESNT GO TO SCHOOL FOR 2 WEEKS HES HONESTLY SO EMBARRASSED - jeremy is the only one who visits him bc ,, only he knows where he lives - "michael youre sobbing again" "shut the FUCK upGffbs" - eventually rich has like had enough of everyone asking shit and he honestly feels super bad for michael - he tries to ask jeremy for michaels address in the most CHILL way he can - he fuckin starts showing his lisp and stumbling over words - nice move nerd - jeremy gets the message and wishes him good luck - rich honestly just walks up to michaels door without any hesitation and just shrugs lmao what am i gonna lose now - michael immediately rushes to the door thinking its jeremy and fucking SLAMS the door as soon as he sees rich - "Dude what the fuck open the door" "no fuck you come back with jeremy" - michaels a fucking tsundere in some ways tbh - eventually rich convinces michael to OPEN THE G O D A M N DOOR and they kinda have a feelings jam and talk about it - rich confesses first and michaels like woah ok - OKAY THEYRE HONESTLY JUST REALLY GAY IN THAT MOMENT - at first they aren't sure if they should classify themselves as dating bc they kinda feel weird about it - spoiler alert they decide to just not tell anybody not even jeremy lmao - michael returns to school the next day and everyone's like trampling him with questions and jeremys like ok back the fuck off the poor homosexual - the only reason everyone learned about rich and michaels relationship is because once they were all having lunch and michael jokingly dropped a gay/dick joke which referenced their relationship and everyone just fucking FLIPS THEIR SHIT - "you fucking blew it michael"

[nymphaerie]

good ending to my last post is michael gradually starts to hang out with the other kids, both through jeremy and by himself

 - he sits next to christine in history and she’s just so open and easy to talk to, and she can tell if he’s getting uncomfortable and she’ll leave him alone if he seems like he can’t do social stuff at the moment. sometimes if hes tapping a rhythm on the desk christine will hum along and theyll make a nice little song. the teacher has called them out for this more than once

- one day rich asks him if he wants to go to the arcade after school and michaels kinda iffy abt it at first but rich is like “jeremy said you’re a ddr GOD and i NEED to challenge you asap” and then michaels like!!!!!!!!! ddr!!!!!!!!!! yes!!!!!!!!!!! and then he agrees and rich gives him a big ol hug and it’s. nice. hes fun to hang out with because everything is just so exciting to him and if michael is excited abt smth, even if its not that cool to other ppl, rich will be excited about it too just because he likes hearing people talk about the stuff they like!!

- jake kind of scares him but he knows rich loves him a lot, so he doesnt Avoid him per se but he doesnt really directly talk to him that much. until he finds jake singing along to carly rae jepsen at his n richs apartment and they have a lip sync off. they’re chill from then on, plus jake is really helpful and like surprisingly ride or die for all of his friends so michael ends up feeling really safe around him

- chloe sees michael at lunch and compliments him on his nails. they have a talk abt cosmetics and stuff and both conclude that the industry is stupid as hell but it’s fun to put on makeup. chloe invites him to a sleepover at her house with brooke and jenna. he declines the first time, but after he sees the girls more he starts coming to chloe’s house every other friday night for makeup and gossip parties. sometimes the whole group comes (for another post, but they find out that rich and jeremy both look REALLY GOOD in dresses) and sometimes it’s just michael and chloe. (those nights they usually end up mutually pining over their bffs, but they also spend a lot of time making fun of shitty romcoms and eating lots of sour candy).

- brooke runs into michael at gamestop once and he’s kind of surprised because she doesn’t seem like a video game person, and as it turns out she’s just Really dedicated to zelda, pokemon, and animal crossing. they have weekly pokemon battles in the food court and visit each other’s towns a lot. sometimes brooke will come to michaels house and show him cool secrets in zelda (because obviously she has every game finished 100%) 

- jenna goes out of her way at lunch to sit next to michael and just Talk to him sometimes, if everyone else seems occupied and he doesn’t know how to join in. she knows how it feels to be on the sidelines of a conversation and wants to include him if she can. michael doesn’t care that much about the latest highschool drama, but they get some good talks in about their fav tv shows. 

everyone loves michael very much and jeremy is still his best friend and favorite person, he probably always will be, but it makes their relationship even better once michael finds new people he knows he can rely on too

THE AU

How to train your dragon au Humans: Michael Jake Chloe Jenna Christine Dragons Rich - flame whipper Jeremy: night fury Mr.Heere: also nightfury fight me The squip: blue death (haha like red death) Brooke: Nadder? Changewing? Take this while I'm playing my How To Train Your Dragon Game SO Michael works as a blacksmith And so do his moms, Its kind of a family thing for them Michael, Jake, Jenna, Chloe and Christine are in training to learn how to slay dragons But theyre bad at working as a group, and on their own Christine and Jake tend to be spacey and were awful at keeping an eye on the dragons And Michael really just knows how to make weapons, not so much use them The people who stood the best chance were Jenna who honestly jyst likes studying dragons so she knows a lot about them And Chloe whos very good with weapons But those two couldnt work together very well. Mr.Reyes is dissapointed in his latest students. Michaels moms assured him its okay and if he can still be a blacksmith Its somewhat assuring, but not quite for Michael personally Jake would say his parents were dissapointed in him but they were taken by dragons, It wouldve made him a chief, but because hes so young Chloe parents were put in charge until Jakes old enough During a dragon raid one night Michael tried to shoot a Night Fury only to find himself horrifically missing and dissapointed in himself During said raid a couple dragons even go out of their cages A couple days later Michael went to gather wood only to find Night Fury scales Upon following them he found a A Night Fury with its legs wrapped up in a net in an odd way like it got itself tangled Michael with nothing else he can do with it, started to try and check out this strange dragon and document it the best he could. Only upon trying to look at its legs, unwrapped it just enough for the dragon to get away and found it didnt try to kill him. Because it was getting late Michael had to go home. The next day he went to retrieve the rope (he realized it could still be used) and noticed there were tracks assumedly from the Night Fury, but they looked bigger than he remembered Long story short Michael followed the tracks and finds the Night Fury. It doesnt appear injured but it appears VERY clumsy and occupied with a pond its trying to catch fish in. But Michael with a lack of planning for this to happen decides to start writing in a notebook the things he notices about the Night Fury from a distance. When he gets home he beings the rope back and lets his moms know he found it, (which theyre very proud of him for doing) So Michael starts leaving to study this Night Fury more, thinking he could be like the botanists that wrote the book of dragons and be really good at this. His moms are mainly happy hes found taking walks to be a sort of nice hobby He also notes Jake leaving late at night often as Michael comes back around the same time and maybe because hes really gay for Jake (this is relevant) After one very long day thats turning into night Michael realises something that he can't find an explanation for while watching this night fury hes dubbed Jeremy 1. Jeremy can't seem to hunt for himself but he seems well fed 2. Jeremy definitely doesnt match the size of the tracks he followed to him that seem to still match the shape of his foot Because he's stayed out so late though Michael gets his answer Theres the sound of a thud outside of the tunnel and in a panic he scrambles all the way inside the cave just barely out of the way to see another larger Night Fury to come in that definitely better matches the tracks he follwed The size difference suggests and same species suggests maybe this Jeremys dad. Which seems confirmed when he finds this is the the one who seems to be feeding Jeremy And it makes a lot more sense now Michael shot the net and missed hitting the Night Fury he was aiming for, but Jeremy was the one who ended up tangled up in it. For now Michael intends to leave but trying to go towards the tunnel doesnt go well when he drops his notebook Because of this in a matter of minutes hes stuck in place with a large Night Furry towering over him and huffing Michaels pretty sure this is it for him and closes his eyes regretting his life choices Until this Night Fury sneezed and proceeded to puke a fish on him like it puked fish up for Jeremy. And its clear he was just sniffing Michael and seemed to see him as a not a threat (unbeknownst to Michael its partially because Michaels been collecting NightFury scales that Jeremys been shedding and led to him smelling like him) Its also noteable Jeremy didn't take notice of Michael until his dad moved towards him. And as jeremys dad was getting Jeremys attention instead of making any noise he would manage to touch jeremy first to get his attention And until this point jeremy never took notice of Michael before when he he'd dropped things so appeared Jeremy had hearing problems which possibly had affected Jeremys abilty to hunt With this Michael came home very late and ended up having to tell his moms the truth who were very worried about him Surprisingly they werent mad considering they let Michael talk and explain how Jeremy and his dad didnt attack him and Jeremys dad even tried to feed him. Michaels moms thought this was interesting because nobody known anything about Night Furys before and Michael has the scales to prove it. They promise not to tell because Michael and his moms also know Chloes parents wouldnt be as understanding and if they heard Michael suddenly befriended dragons For now Michael keeps going alone to visit Jeremy who hes now found is quite friendly and even stops caring when Michael doesnt vary the scales with that makes him smell like a Night Fury If anything Jeremy gets excited the moment he can smell Michael and even starts saving food for when Michael shows up. (Though Michael just pretends to eat it and later bring it back to feed Jeremys dad) Over time it seems like Michaels been improving at the academy for (understanding) and "defeating" dragons, though Jake just seems better at dodging and being ignored by them Over time Michael even gets the idea to see if Jeremy can fly since hes yet to see it and one night hangs out to wait for Jeremys dad to also show up It's becomes apparent by comparison Jeremy has a weirdly formed tail wing which with a lack of hearing might mean Jeremy has some birth defects  [que some of Michael getting help from his moms to make a prosthetic similar to the movie] Michael then waits till Jeremys dad returns in hopes to fly with him and that way he can also count on him to teach Jeremy to fly assuming Jeremy hasnt been able to prior The first attempt is rough as Jeremy finds Michael cannot hold on if theyre flying upside down, but Mr.Heere is big enough he manages to grab Michael by the back of his shirt and carry Jeremy to the ground very carefully The next couple attemps was Michael and Jeremy learning to work together to fly and jeremy being taught to fly by jers dad who just so happy his son and the weird small fleshy dragon he's befriended are able to fly with him together Also in this time (maybe also because flying was way fun and Michael felt like he could do anything if he could help Jeremy fly) Michael finds the courage to ask out Jake and happen to run into him when Jakes returning home in the dead of night. Jake seems very frantic in getting inside which makes Michael very worried until he hears a squawk but not a bird type squawk And Jake panics and asks Michael to promise he wont tell anyone about what hes doing if Jake let's him inside Michaels says yes and next thing he knows Jake has pulled him into a kiss for a moment before pulling him inside One of the dragons that had escaped to academy during a raid was a red and light blue Flamewhipper, a dragon resembling a gecko and used to constantly drop its tail and paralyze people making fighting it hard Well, Michael thought it escaped like everyone else until suddenly said dragon has crawled down from the ceiling to try and eat fish and a plant called ceriman Jake seems to have in his backpack. Jake named this dragon Rich and admits during the raid he'd taken the time to free Rich feeling like the dragons weren't bad and they were essentially tormenting the dragons in there. However Rich ended up following Jake to his house. Possibly because Jakes house is warm compared to outside and Rich is very fond of crawling in and laying on Jakes jacket So every night since, Jakes been feeding Rich who has yet to leave on his own and seems to be particularly fond of Jake himself to the point Jake has been sharing a bed with him Which now explains why dragons lately have been ignoring Jake as he shells like another dragon Michael doesnt give specifics but says he has a similar situation occuring that his moms know about and decides to stay over with how late it is Rich steals part of Jakes bed Michael also offers for his moms to help Jake feed Rich but Jake declines saying hes worried Rich might not be fond of many people Later that night Jake also apologizes for kissing Michael saying he's been crushing on him for awhile and only did it because he was greatful Michael wasn't going to tell anyone Jakes explanation for his actions is a big gay mood for Michael Michael also asks if he can kiss Jake again Jake says yes and they kiss for a moment until Rich squawks at them because Jake stopped petting him The next day Jake is introduced to Jeremy who thinks Jake is another small fleshy dragon and tries to play with him also sniffs him heavily because he smells Rich and "where is other dragon??!! I can smell him but hes not on this fleshy dragon?!??" Michael explains Jeremy cant hear and has dad that typically feeds him, he also cant fly which is what Michael helps him do with his prosthetic sort of tail Jeremy pukes fish on Jake and Michael tells him he typically feeds it to Jeremys dad later at night Michael also tells Jake hes welcome to come by to visit jeremy and his dad as long as Michael's there too incase Jeremys dad acts differemt towards Jake smelling like a different dragon Jake also asks if Michael and his moms could help make him a saddel like Jeremy has but for Rich Part 1 bc it wont let me post more on this

All the asks

A: How did you come up with the title to [insert fic]?My process for naming fics is eitherA) a joke name because i can't help myselfB) or a name that just sounds like "yeah that's a fitting title name"B: Any of your stories inspired by personal experience?Plenty! I try to follow the rule "write what you know" in a way to convey maybe something I've experienced, but also use it to write what I don't know about.For example I have a lower middle class family, but to write a more well off family i base it on things I've seen and experienced when younger like those times we got home from the grocery store and that first day with a ton of food and i felt like i wouldnt have to worry about eating a ton of it, or even back when i was younger (7) with a loft bed and having all my stuff organized with a spot in my room had me feel really content with my life where i felt like i had everything i wanted and couldn't ask for more. I had a 3d puzzle of the inside of a frog, an ant farm, a hamster, a framed picture of a praying mantis, a very small binder of pokémon cards, a room painted green and at that age and time felt like my life was really together despite not knowing how to articulate it. It felt like my own personal space that i had control of so to write a well of family i try to write in things that give off a similar feeling of a well put together room except a entire house that way where everything feels like it has its place. If that makes sense.C: What character do you identify with most?In Marble Hornets, Jay Merrick who just wanted to help everyone despite how many time those people tried to kill or hurt him.In Voltron, Keith in terms of not always feeling like I belong in groups and sometimes struggling to understand myself. Also Hunk whos a very caring person with a big heart.In Be More Chill i relate to Jake where in freshman year of high school i worked really hard to be the best in my classes to a point that id cry from stress every night.Jeremy feeling unimportant and more like a background character with nothing really notable about him compared to everyone else.Brooke feeling constantly like she's second best to Chloe and people using her.Christine being unsure of what she wants in life as she nears the last year of high school where she feels like she needs to decide.Rich while unsquipped seeming like he hardly knows how to handle himself in social situations and seeming incredibly anxious without a squip also being a big nerd D: Is there a song or a playlist to associate with [insert fic]?Typically if its a musical depending on viewpoint i listen to songs with those characters in it.In other things its songs that give me a similar feeling to the thing i'm writing (for example i imagine things as color pallets so i try to match them with the colors another thing gives me. Or the corresponding emotion i feel/need to feel as I write a scene.E: If you wrote a sequel to [insert fic], what would it be about?Starting From Square One? The sequel would be more of Rich adjusting to life without a squip and living a pretty happy life with Michael and them going about their lives be it them going to college and struggling or as adults with jobs and trying to figure themselves out during that since i kinda feel like life is constantly a thing of trying to figure yourself out.Out of the tons of Voltron Fics probably more on Keith being glara and the lives/background behind the galra species with how it affects keithIn hu it's hard to say. A lot of them would be hard to find a way to make sequels of but considering Starting From Square one is the only fic i managed make myself work on currently i wouldnt say its impossible to find/make sequels for any of those ficsF: Care to share a favorite hurt/comfort fic?For Be More Chill http://archiveofourown.org/works/11671890/chapters/26267448 Both because its from Michaels viewpoint and it definitely doesn't seem to go out of its way to make Jeremy a monster and make Michaels personality center around hsi panic attack like plenty fics do.G: Care to share a favorite crack fic?I'm not too big on crack fics because i personally love really long fics with character development. (crack fics are good, for me it's just my preference where most of the time i'm not in a huge mood for them) but i know this one has been p funny https://my.w.tt/UiNb/v4KNrRgajJ H: How would you describe your style?Id say i write in whatever sounds right in my mind while i'm reading to fit the mood of what i intend to portray. Its really hard to sayI: Do you have a guilty pleasure in fic (reading or writing)?Already answeredJ: Write or describe an alternative ending to [insert fic].Starting from Square Ones Alternate ending would be it ending where Rich snaps at everyone and it would have a sequel of everyone in the squip squad meeting Rich in college after not seeing him for an entire year. They'd find who took online classes because he didn't want to see anyone and was still pissed and during that time he had gotten several jobs and was barely even supporting himself with how his dad doesnt care for him. (potentially where he may take up selling drugs) and everyone does try to apologize but it takes awhile for anyone to convince Rich they actually mean it.K: What's the angstiest idea you've ever come up with?In Starting From Square One there was a scrapped idea of everyone actually hating rich and him trying desperately to convince them it wasn't his fault he started the fire only when everyone finally does get proof from Jeremy who actually understands Rich's struggle because he had a squip longer Rich hasn't gone to school in well over a week and has goes missing because he's hiding from his dad. L: What's the weirdest AU you've ever come up with?I based one on a dream i had which was like a Xiaolin Showdown, meets high school au, meets almost one pieceLike if you touched these specific items they latched onto you and gave you abilities that typically corresponded to an animal or gave a animals trait to you like enhanced sense of smell, stronger legs for jumping, wings etc. It wasn't fully thought out or planned so it's a very vague idea.M: Got any premises on the back burner that you'd care to share?Im writing bits and pieces of terraverse, its hard but i'm getting somewhere with it! There's others but they're like aus based off dreams that i'm yet to figure out how to explain or develop in a way they make sense.N: Is there a fic you wish someone else would write (or finish) for you?All of them tbhO: How do you begin a story--with the plot, or the characters?Typically plot first and then i'll add characters to match the plotP: Are you what George R. R. Martin would call an "architect" or a "gardener"? (How much do you plan in advance, versus letting the story unfold as you go?)It's a little bit of bothI try to plan in advance but as i write Point A going to Pont B i do find things in the story that unfold as I go and then proceed to go to my planning to find a spot to mention it again later.For example i mainly planned on in Starting From Square One that Rich would have known Michaels older brother from when he was a kid but didnt know his last name therefore didn't know he and Michael were related and as I wrote more in my planning it sort of unfolded as I wrote and became me writing in that Michaels older brother dropped out of college because of how stressful it was and Rich gos to stay with him and that's when he finds out michael and him are brothers.Q: Do you have any discarded scenes/storylines/projects?While writing if i decide suddenly I want to change something I take what i've already written of that version and paste it into a Google doc of scrapped ideas. That way if i can find a chance to implement them in another fic or other point in a chapter even if written differently i can have the general idea for what i may have intended to go off of.R: Are there any writers (fanfic or otherwise) you consider an influence?None in particular but I feel like a little bit of everything I've read and written influences my writing since i always find something somebody may have written i want to implement in a fic.Not like their idea. But small things like reading people write about Michael's parents did influence me to include Michaels parents in my fic. Not the same way they did but it was something i read that had made me stop and realize.I never considered what some of these character's families and cousins and such are thinking as they may hear about this from another viewpoint like Michael’s, Jeremy’s, Rich's, Brooke’s, Chloe's, Jenna’s, or Christine's.S: Any fandom tropes you can't resist?In voltron (before it became canon) i liked a trope that Keith isn't as angry as everyone makes him and actually is just really defensive and afraid of being seen as weak to everyone else because lance seems to constantly go to pick on him for things.In Be More Chill i stand by the Trope Jake is really smart just perhaps Ditzy and gets really excited over something and struggles to pay attention to the other details because of a long theory and research i did with all the extra curriculars jake did paired with his need to be the best. T: Any fandom tropes you can't stand?G o dIn Hollywood Undead stuff I always hated Aron being an unreasonable asshole by default.In Be More ChillJeremy's character being reduced to having been an asshole to Michael because it erases how they were friends for TWELVE YEARS and Jeremy in the bathroom did say "I missed you" TO MICHAEL. Or how Jeremy did have a lot of stressful shit happen to him minutes prior which made him get really defensive over the squip.Everytime people center Michaels personality around his panic attack i love 7 years to my life because they only go as far as Michael hates himself but never even delve into things like how Michael said to Jeremy how he wouldn't be glad to see him after he heard about his research on the squip Kinda like he anticipated Jeremy wouldn't be happy and Michael had a feeling Jeremy wouldn't outright be happy about it.(asks cut me off hold up)
