Be More Chill used to be an off-broadway musical, but then earlier in the year they moved to broadway, even though i’ve been a super fan for a long time, a new crowd of people started to listen to the Off-broadway soundtrack on Youtube. It brought popularity to the musical, like i’ve said before, I’ve been a fan for a long time. BUT, the new soundtrack is really good, I really like it! they added two new songs, they also changed some of the lyrics in some of the song, like in “Voices in My Head”, although, they did not change one of my favorite songs “Michael In The Bathroom”. My favorite song they added was probably “Loser, Geek or Whatever”, it gave us a look into Jeremy’s POV, instrad of just thinking he’s a jerk. Okay that’s it! I love the musical!

WP10 Virgil, Deceit and The Dark Sides Theory
My theory on the dark sides is that Virgil, and Deceit used to be ‘friends’, back when Virgil wasn’t excepted by the Light sides (Princey, Logan, Patton and Thomas), however, since Thomas, the host, is a habitual worrier, Virgil still has a place at the table when it came to Thomas’s decision making. Virgil has been in the shadows along with the other dark sides, but he still aims to protect Thomas, even thought he knows he won’t be excepted, so he tries to make the other sides afraid of him, so that they wouldn’t learn about his intentions. Deceit, however, doesn’t care about Thomas and the light sides, and is kind of a leader to the dark sides, he’s mad at Virgil, but now that Virgil’s seen the light sides get along, he knows that he and Deceit aren’t friends, and that he’s a toxic friend. Virgil now stays in his room, not having either side, until however, then ‘Accepting Anxiety Part 1 and 2’, when he felt like he was finally accepted by the light sides. However Deceit still lurks in the shadow.
THIS IS A THEORY!!!
WP9 Musicals
Musicals are something that I like very much, although I’m not into the world that much, I still have quite a lot of musicals and have been is some before. The musicals I have been in are Newsies and Lion King. The musicals that I enjoy are Hamilton, Dear Evan Hansen, Be More Chill, Newsies, Heathers, Mean Girls, Lion King, Cats, and Falsettos.
Picture for Be More Chill
Hamilton is about our founding father that, lets just say had a troubling past. Newsies is about Newspaper boys going on a strike, because their boss raising the price without a word to them. Be More Chill, one of my absolute favorites, is about a boy who just wants to survive in high school, and takes a supercomputer to take care of it.
Picture for Newsies
Dear Evan Hansen is about a boy in high school, he has anxiety, another boy, Conner Murphy is a kind of toxic boy, he has anger problems and he kills himself, however he has Evans letter and its taken as a suicide letter. These are just a select few I wanted to talk about, but all the Musicals I listed are great and you should check them out, they have good music and killer story lines.
Picture for Dear Evan Hansen
WP8 Sander Sides
Thomas Sanders, the creator of the Sander Sides. Thomas is also the guy who did Vines and was super famous for them, until Vine was deleted. He now makes skits on YouTube, does things on Musicals, lets-plays. But I believe he got famous again over the Sander Sides, The Sander Sides is when Thomas talks about inner conflicts and struggles with one-self, however he does it as a skit, with himself, he has four characters Morality, Logic, Creativity, and Anxiety. They represent their own elements, Virgil (anxiety), Patton (morality), Roman (creativity) and Logan (Logic). However in recent episodes he mentioned bits about Dark sides, also a character named Deceit(we don’t know his name). My favorite side is… Anxiety, he has had some of the most character development out of all of the sides, along with Princey (Roman). I might do another post about my theory on Virgil, Deciet and the dark sides.
WP7 Michael Mell and Jeremy Heere
Although in my last post I talked about Be More Chill, I didn’t talk much about the relationship of my two favorite characters, Michael Mell and Jeremy Heere. Michael and Jeremy are two Juniors in high school. They are two of the more bullied students, although Jeremy is more bullied by a guy named Rich Goranski, one of the major popular students with his best friend Jake Dillinger. Michael and Jeremy have been friends for about twelve years.
“I had this really pissed off monologue,
an epic journey through twelve years
of friendship…”-Michael, the Bathroom Scene
Although Jeremy was a jerk to Michael (mostly not willingly) Michael still forgave him and they remained to be best friends, although the fandom of the musical ship him and Jeremy very much.
“Dude you are cooler then a vintage cassette”-Michael, Two Player Game
“Guys like us are cool in collage!”-Michael, Two Player Game
“Find the bad guy, push’em aside, then move on forward with your friend at your side, its a two player game, so when they make an attack! You Know you got a brother, gonna have your back!”-Both, Two Player Game
“You know that you are my favorite person”-Jeremy, Two Player Game
“And if you leave your brother behind, its lame! cause its a messed up world, but its a two player game! Hey!” -Both, Two Player Game
SBC7 My Dads Business Trip
Mostly every year my dad is part of a group where he and a few select people win a reward and go on a vacation with the company he works for. During that time the company schedules things for the group to do along with free time, for example, on night we’ll go to a certain restaurant and then next, they’ll let us do what we want. Every year, we all stay at the same hotel, with a breakfast place under it, it was usually very likely to see some of my dad’s co-workers at the dinner place. The Hotel was also along the line of many other hotels, with many pools, that my mother, brother and dad will hang out at with some room service. We also will just hang out at the hotel and relax, until we have dinner with my dads co-workers, bosses and various other people that made it.
