Some highlights from the Be More Chill book brought to you by me
Ps: Y’all these are just the parts I marked as I was reading, my personal favorites. Don’t evaluate the book just by looking at these. And I didn’t include any big spoilers so don’t worry!
Page 35,
Jeremy: You think we should go?
Michael: Are you asking me out?
Page 54, (it pains me how little boyfs moments are in the book)
Michael’s there, in the school parking lot. He managed to borrow the car from his parents and have it waiting for me the day I asked for it. I hug him.
Page 80,
I’m masturbating still, watching a video, but it’s not like I’m masturbating to Michael. I’m multitasking masturbating.
Page 109,
The gayer it feels, the better your posture. -The Squip, 2004.
Page 110,
Jeremy: Well, that card is only for emergencies.
Squip: You are an emergency, Jeremy.
Page 111,
Jeremy: I kind of hate Keanu Reeves’s voice. Can you switch to, ah, Brad Pitt?
Squip: We couldn’t get his rights. You sure you don’t like Keanu?
Jeremy: Uh...
Squip: C’mon, just listen. Isn’t it soothing?
Page 135, (we love supportive Squip)
After twenty reps, with the Squip encouraging me and telling jokes, I’m so tired that I roll into bed without thinking about jerking off.
Page 138, (book Squip is superior)
Ms. Heere: Freedom of expression doesn’t exist for minors, Jeremy, which is what you are.
Squip: Tell her to go f _ _ _ herself.
Page 161,
I jump in the field and kick my heels together.
Squip: Let’s never, ever see that again, okay?
Page 170,
“Heere?”
“Yo.”
It was so simple... I don’t know how I didn’t think of it before.
Squip: It’s not your nature.
Page 174, (First of all Jeremy, rude. But at least he’s standing up for Michael, that’s something, right?)
Squip: Don’t bring him.
Jeremy: Nope, I’m bringing him. I want him along on this one. I’ve wanted him along the whole time, but now I finally have the clout to bring him.
Page 179, (I just LOVE their friendship)
Jeremy: I don’t think we have anything to worry about.
Squip: That’s because I calculated it for you, stupid.
I know. Thanks.
Page 208,
Christine: What’s yersquip?
Jeremy: That’s... my... imaginary... friend,
Rich: Huh, yeah. It’s what he calls his p-penis.
Jeremy: Would you shut up?
Christine: You have a name for your penis? Boys really do that?
Squip: Yeah. Rich’s is named Li’l’ Cheese Head.
Jeremy: Yeah. Rich’s is named Li’l’ Cheese Head.
Page 233,
Jeremy: And the house was on fire?
Squip: Well. Not all of it.
Jeremy: What the f _ _ _ ? What am I supposed to say to that?
Squip: Probably “No, no, this can’t be happening?”
Jeremy: This can’t be happening!
Page 235, (I love how Squip keeps roasting Jeremy’s parents)
Squip: You have bad parents, you know that?
Jeremy: Why?
Squip: They should have prepared you for situations like this. I’m not programmed to counsel human shock and sorrow.
Page 280, (Michael being sarcastic is what I stan)
Jeremy: It keeps log of all my thinkings.
Michael: Thinkings?
Jeremy, hitting him: Whatever.

HOGWARTS SCHEDULE MASTERPOST because I haven’t done one of these yet (and because nerinelunacyran asked for one)!
First row is pretty explanatory (Years 1 and 2, look at the captions.) Third year on each take up a row, because they need two schedules to deal with the electives. The only way for the electives to make sense is for ‘elective’ to just be a slot in their timetable, and because each house shares a timeslot with another house, and both have two options, during every timeslot there are four elective options (so Monday period 3 of year 4, both Gryffindors and Slytherins can choose between Care of Magical Creatures, Arithmancy, Divination, or Ancient Runes). This way, a student from any house can take any combination of two electives. It’s complicated, but it works. Hermione Granger is special and kind of fucked up.
This fits in with canon as much as I was able to make it fit with canon; she did not give this a second of thought, and it’s painfully obvious if you actually look into it. Fifth year Gryffindors have a class that starts halfway through second period, for crying out loud that’s what periods are for. So there’s some artistic license that I’ve had to take, and of course filling in all the blanks was entirely just myself. I tried to keep the fictional students in mind and not give them awful schedules, too – I have spreadsheets for each house for each year, as well, to see what the kids would groan about in September. I gave the first-years four periods instead of five, because 3:30 is explicitly stated for their flying lessons, and during one Oliver Wood is still in class.
As far as how the teachers’ schedules work out or how Years 6 and 7 work or how this makes any sense at all: it really doesn’t, but I’m working with what I’ve got :P
This was created for the Pottermorphs AU, but feel free to use these schedules for whatever you want – I’d love a link back to this post, though, since I hope it’s obvious just how much work went into these.
Logan: Ok, we just have to think straight to solve this…
Roman: But I’m—
Logan: Now is NOT the time
Patton: I’m not—
Logan: Not you too
Virgil: Logan, I—
Logan: NO
Janus: Bu-
Remus: I’m—
Logan: OKAY FINE EVERYONE THINK GAY JUST MAKE A PLAN
hello! do you have any good soulmate wolfstar recs? i LOOOOOOVE those, doesn’t matter what kind
Oh, the Librarian also loves these fics! Hope you enjoy the ones on this list!
The Electric Fizzing Prick Pistols, or Whatever by whitmans_kiss Everyone is born with Words on their arm that connect them to their Soulmate. James finds his, Sirius had everything figured out back in First Year, Peter doesn’t talk to girls anyway, and Remus thinks he’d very much just like to put his earmuffs back on and disappear.
Crude and Proud by @beesandjam Remus and Sirius are soulmates and whatever they write on their arms appears on the other person's.
fade to black by @elixirsoflife
a soulmate au where everyone has a tattoo of the first words their soulmate says directly to them on their left arm
Wolfy by Judeyjude There were three types of people: Kissers, Namers, and Tattooers. You either had a Tattoo that matched another's or a Name marked above your heart. If you didn't, then you were a Kisser, recognizing your soulmate at first touch or kiss, as innocent as the person wanted it to be. As soon as you were born, it was obvious which category you fell into. Sirius had a Tattoo. Remus didn't.
Moony by Judeyjude Soulmate identifying marks are like a fingerprint - every love is unique and special. Not one couple is the same as another, so there are no repeats in soulmate connections. One couple could write to each other on their arms, another could have matching tattoos that colored in when they met, and another could be deaf their whole lives until they made eye contact with their true love. The only consistency is that everyone has some kind of indication by the time they are sixteen. At 25 years old, Remus Lupin has given up the idea that he's destined for someone until James calls him one fateful night.
Check For the Shivers by @devnoel Remus never expected the first words his Soulmate would say to him to be out of a sappy romance novel. But this was just outrageous.
If you know of more soulmate fics, please share!
im lit so freaking happy
I'm still in awe that not even a decade ago (2014, a year before same-sex marriage was legalized in the US), queer representation in children's animation was at the point where The Legend of Korra ended with Korra and Asami holding hands in the very last seconds and the creator having to come onto tumblr to plead with us all to understand that these two characters are canonically queer, the crew just couldn't show anything more (and were heavily implied to face restrictions) and now, in April 2023, The Owl House ended with multiple episodes highlighting how the main character is openly bi, her love interest is a lesbian with whom multiple on-screen kisses were shared, her mother proudly wears a rainbow pin and has read multiple books on sexuality and gender, her mentor is openly bi, the mentor's love interest is nonbinary and uses they/them pronouns, the mentor's adopted son has a genderqueer 'dad', the mentor's sister is confirmed to be aro/ace, the main character's best friend has two dads who share an on-screen kiss, the main character's pseudo-sister blushes around a nonbinary teenager who also uses they/them pronouns, minor characters blush and react to others in ways that suggest that they are also queer, there are different flags everywhere, and the child-god of the cosmos who comes to visit them all from time to time uses he/they pronouns. That's on top of the Afro-Latina representation, the neurodivergence and disability representation, and so much more. Let's see how far we've come, indeed!
