#my bmc writing

[keysmashing-bees]

I haven't seen the movie yet but this concept has been rotating in my head for a year now. So.

[woah-uhuh-uhuh-uhuh]

ref for my AU except i removed all the context because im too shy

[mono-socke]

are you ready for some squip angst ??

imagine the squip turning human after the events of the play and getting assigned to stay with jeremy and go with him to school and everything. yeah? but the thing is, whoever made them human expects them to actually become social and make new friends and go out with others and stuff, but the squip literally knows no one but jeremy properly. and turns out, they're actually not social at all ! so they basically just follow jeremy around everywhere, only occasionally even talking to other people if they approach them first (which rarely anyone even does because,, why is that stranger here out of a sudden? and why are they following jeremy constantly? weird)

like, the squip is basically super dependent on jeremy, but he eventually gets sick of them. he endorces it for the first weeks or so, willing to play the role of a guide for them while they adapt to being a human, but eventually he is just getting annoyed by having someone follow/cling to him constantly. he just doesn't get why on earth the squip wouldn't leave him alone

jeremy also still doesn't fully trust them after the events of the play, and maybe he suspects them to plot another evil plan of some kind ? anyway, he ends up snapping, telling them to back the fuck off and leave him alone ('for someone who used to be obsessed with making me social, you sure are incompetent at it yourself. find yourself friends that AREN'T ME')

and like,, the squip just doesn't know what to do afterwards. jeremy was the only person they knew, they NEEDED him to exist properly (when they were a squip, they LITERALLY needed him to exist and have an objective and all that, and thus overtime they've grown really dependent on him, leading to the point it's an issue) but now jeremy won't even talk to them ?? they can barely funtion at all as a human, how are they supposed to do it without help ?!

Timbern Be More Chill AU!

semi thought out plot under the cut

Bernard isn't exactly the most popular junior at Louis E. Grieve Memorial High School. Which is fine, all he needs is to get through the next couple years. He does have one problem, however. That is that Darla Aquista, the girl that he's obsessively crushed on for years, hardly notices him.

One of the popular guys mentions something about a highly advanced technology from Japan—a Super Quantum Unit Intel Processor. Something that'll get rid of all your problems, make you cool, get you the girl. He'd hook Bernard up with a Squip for just one upfront payment.

His best friend, Tim, wasn't all for it. $600 for some pill-sized supercomputer? Definitely a scam... but Bernard had to try.

Bernard, left alone after taking it, was shot with pain throughout his entire body. Once recovered from his writing in agony, a Chaos Monster, a rumoured creature that existed in Gotham, beings that served Dionysus, stood before him. He'd always had a sick fascination with them.

The creature was degrading and snide, spewed hurtful words about Bernard, but he promised a future in which Bernard was 'chill'. One where Darla was practically begging to be with him. And could that really be so bad?

Next thing Tim knew, he was being ignored in the hallways, as his online chat messages were left unanswered. He really needed to figure out what this Squip thing is.

Tim may have access to Bat tech, but he doesn't need Bruce getting involved, so he goes directly to the only other person who could help: Dick.

Dick knew of them. Of course he did. Some friend's friend was driven insane trying to get it out. And apparently all Tim needed to save his friend was Mountain Dew Red. Should be easy enough.

rewatching night at the museum for the first time in a while and wow. i missed this film.

[wackydoggs]

promised myself that i wouldn’t post this until the oomf this was commissioned for posted their fanfic that this goes along to BUT they gave me the go ahead to post this so i absolutely will (because be more chill has been eating at my brain for literally a year now and i, for some reason, have not posted any of my other art for it)

so anyway. have some boyf riends with no context (except for the fact that it DOES have context that has… yet to be finished written)

Happy holidays everyone. Idk who came up with the Hispanic Chloe hc but whoever it was ur so right

[sansquip]

some quick sketches at school and i tried to update the michael design. hoodies are weird. so are faces

also, thumb reveal!

[thingsaday]

In emergencies, the SQUIP software was authorized to override its host’s motor functions to get them out of danger. But what about a case where a host’s body was still alive but they were just… not there anymore?

How was the SQUIP to know that Jeremy wouldn't want to come back?

TLDR: Jeremy gets in a crash. The SQUIP tries to help. Things get worse before they get better.

what's ur favorite bmc fanfic ever

OOOH okay this is a good question.

Ngl I don't think I could give you a solid "here is the one (1) best fic ever" so here's a whole bunch that I've rated 5 stars in my fic document!

Stammer - Excellent 100k fic, if you're looking for something long. Basically it explores Jeremy and Michael's relationship from when they were kids til a bit after the events of the musical. Really good character piece <3

Jeremy drops out of college during December of his freshman year - REALLY REALLY GOOD fic-- one of my favorites from Beth Harker. Basically Jeremy undergoes a lot of panic attacks and self hatred (some brought on by what remains of the Squip) as he and Michael go to college together. About 10k words.

in the back of my brain, the voices all sound the same - Pretty short ~1k fic that explores the idea of the Squip changing shape into things like Jeremy himself. Forever thinking about the implications.

Play it in Reverse - Really cool podfic that brings in the musical aspect of bmc and acknowledges it! With the Squip's help, Jeremy tries to fix the events of the musical by changing the lyrics. About an hour to fully listen to.

flesh & bone - AU where Jeremy is an android and the Squip Squad find him and repair him. LOVE the dynamic of everyone in this fic, but it's unfortunately unfinished. About 40k words and still worth a read despite this.

Loaded, Recoded, Unsorted - Ngl I think this was the first ever bmc fic I read?? Anyways, it still lasts in my brain despite being unfinished with about 15k words in total. Basically, Michael slowly becomes a squip with all the fun psychological horror that comes with that. Honestly if you like this I'd recommend checking out more of Nez's work. Excellent squip horror writer.

The Mechanics of Compromise - Ngl pretty much everyone I've come across has read this fic and it shouldn't be a surprise that its on this list. Absolutely adore how they handle everyone's dynamics and manage to create a really fun plot as everyone recovers from the events of the musical. Another really good 100k+ fic.

Only One Is Mine - Holy shit this fic is almost coming up on 100k words. Anyways this fic is so so so good. Basically it deals with the rising squipocalypse after the musical as Jeremy accidentally fuses with his squip and has to learn what it means to be half human, half supercomputer. LOVE this concept so much and love how its handled. Honestly one of my all time favorite fics in general-- really cool stuff!! Shoutout to Jordan fr <3

Honorable mentions:

Ophiocordyceps nippon - TRAGICALLY short fic that meant i actually rated it only 4 stars but I thought I'd share because I am still thinking about it. Basically what if the Squip was a fungus.

Same As It's Always Been - I've only read 2 chapters, since it was coming out at the time I was reading it, but its finished now!! I really enjoyed what it was when it was coming out, so I'm sure it's still a good read. Basically Rich is forced to repeat Halloween Night-- time loop style.

so my madeline and chloe post from yesterday?

its on ao3 now. enjoy

[woah-uhuh-uhuh-uhuh]

high school is hell

[oldschool-analog]

Going feral for Bway The Pitiful Children rn like it’s SUCH a villain song it’s so good especially that instrumental break after Jenna’s part like omg… when u can hear the Squip in the back faintly singing ‘the pitiful children’ in the cast recording scratches an itch in my brain I didn’t know I had… Jeremy’s little voice growl(?) thing (idk what it’s called) on “LEt’s teach the pitiful children who haven’t a clue” after Jenna gets squipped in the cast recording… the official cast recording in general… THE LIGHTS AND CHOREOGRAPHY ONSTAGE O EM GEE!!! Dare I say it’s the most visually appealing song??

And the way the “everything about us is going to be wonderful” part and onward is calling back to Be More Chill Pt. 2….. and how switching from “everything about you is going to be wonderful/we love everything about you” to “everything about us is going to be wonderful/we love everything about Squips” is only reenforcing how at this point it’s like the Squip is literally a part of Jeremy now like it’s made itself into him and is taking full influence and control of him…. ITS JUST SO GOOD GUYS I LOVE THE PITIFUL CHILDREN!!!! THE PITIFUL CHILDREN!!!!!!

[rad-rat-with-a-tophat]

hey does anyone remember me talking about a bmc fic where chloe steals someone's yearbook to see what brooke wrote?

i wrote it

[nezumithewriter]

"Blue hyacinths; flowers that are supposed to grow on stems in bunches. According to multiple sources, they represent regret."

"The petals of said regretful plant littered the floor of the bedroom, as well as on his host's clothes, hair, and organs."

(this is another teaser for a fic I'm writing for BMC's 20th anniversary)
