touching my hand / guy id kinda be into - be more chill mashup animatic

in which some nerd consistently overestimates how much his crush likes him
yall read this:
upon listening to the deleted be more chill l song "touching my hand" I was disappointed that it couldn't make it into the final musical. (I like duets lol) I understand it was meant to be at the beginning of the play but didnt end up working in the narrative. So I tried moving things around myself to find a place where the song would be able to kind of make sense lol. i hope you enjoy what I came up with! also put some scenes to tie them together lol call me a screenwriter
This song is 'A Guy That I'd Kinda Be Into' by Stephanie Hsu & Chill Ensemble from the musical 'Be More Chill' and is claimed by WMG
on behalf of Ghostlight Records. Only the artwork and animatics belong to me.

Having the context, i think she was actually singing about jeremy, but chickened out at the end. Wow.

Yeah just say "you" instead of Jake and it lines up better

[@thesewinggeekmiri9029]

@@connorcountryman4178 THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING! I thought 'y'know, singing 'you' actually fits the rhyme scheme better, why didn't she--ohhh yeah, she was definitely singing about Jeremy and chickened out .'

[@galaxylatte1144]

ThEsEwInGgEeK miri from what I read the “jake” part at the end was supposed to not match the rest of the song. It was supposed to surprise the viewer to give the same experience that Jeremy was feeling in that moment.

pheobus apollo dude, *I* like christine who doesn't

[@_crystallize_]

O shit- I just realized that this has both the melody from "The Loser, Geek, or Whatever" and also the "am I ever gonna get with her for real?" Line also sounds like another run from Broadway BMC but I don't remember because _i don't like that version very much I just noticed that because the song's in my Spotify playlist djdndnn_

[@radxianixe]

yeah, touching my hand was a cut song from original bmc, so joe wrote loser geek whatever for broadway bmc inspired by this one :) tbh broadway bmc kinda ruined bmc for me, but if people enjoy it, who am i to stop them, right? overall, i like the original version more but there are some parts where the broadway one was better

Jeremy: She is touching my hand. She is touching my hand. She is touching my, touching my, touching my hand. She is touching my hand, I do not understand. What's the reason she seems to be touching my hand! Maybe this means she doesn't despise me, she doesn't despise me! She wants me to know the level of comfort she feels when she's near me. Just makes her sincerely! Want to never let me go! And her hand is willing to cool and find to just be chill and fixed to mine. That's feeling what I feel. I'm not projecting if I say, since we're connecting in this way. I'll probably, definitely get with her for real! I'll probably, definitely get with her for real. [pause] Jeremy: She stopped touching my hand, I do not understand that in the least, why she ceased touching my hand. Maybe she had a spasm or something, a spasm or something, and didn't realize that when she decided to withdraw her finger, that's breaking out linger. And part of me dies cause if she can't even touch my hand I'm not believing what I land. Is never gonna get chill. If the sensation of my skin makes agitation creep on here. Then am I ever gonna get with her for real? Then am I ever gonna get with her for real? Christine: Oh my god! It's Jake Dillinger! Jeremy: This is horrible! Jakes already visited top top model. You win. Been a football star since he was ten. Had sex with a girl named Madeline, who was probably French. Dudes got everything as far as I can tell. So why does he want this as well [if they were in be more chill musical Jake would come and tell Christine she was good] Christine: He said I was good, not just in it but good. while he smiled and blame. All the same, he said I was good. Jakes already president of model UM. Been a football star since ten. And had sex with that girl named Madeline, who pretends that she's French! Dudes a pretty boy cliche from what I can see, so why is he so interesting to me? Jeremy: It I was brazing like those guys, when she would gaze into my eyes! Then we'll look and never reveal. I'm fun and more, and worth a chance. At least I sort of think I am. But am I ever gonna get with her for real? Jeremy: [singing at the same time as Christine ] She is interested in him. And he can win her on a win. Am I ever gonna get with her for real? Christine: [sining at the same time as Jeremy] He said I was good, not just in it but good. While he smiled and blame, all the same. He said I was good but, will I ever really get with him for real? Together: god all for staying when I say that this has been a short passé. Jeremy: And I just want to hide away and just forget the whole ordeal cause I am never gonna get with her for real. Christine: But am I ever gonna get with him for real. Jeremy: No, I'm never gonna get with her, never gonna get with her for real. Christine: But am I ever gonna get with him for real? Jeremy: never gonna get with her, never gonna get with her for real. Together: never/ever gonna get with her/him Ever/never gonna get with him/her Never/ even gonna get with her/ him for real

[@jshankar2391]

shofi lmao I thought you said cat food like it was bad

[@picnicsandstars]

Man, I'm fascinated by how part 2 would have affected the show! In the final show it's clear that Christine likes Jake for his charm and earnestness, but here popularity is obviously a huge factor (without making her unlikable for it at all). I always thought the SQUIP was pretty stupid for thinking Christine cared about status but this definitely makes me reevaluate that. It would add an interesting layer to the "be yourself and don't worry about popularity" message if actually, no, there's good reason to believe that will keep you from the relationships you want. But it could muddy it up, too...I don't know! Just discovered this and it's so interesting to think about :D

[@SimoneJewelz]

I think it’s actually more like a miscommunication between Jeremy and Christine. Jeremy thinks that Christine likes Jake because he’s popular which only goes to prove his own previous convictions to himself and thrust him further down the path of improving his social status. But when Christine sings “he’s a pretty boy cliche as far as I can see, so why is he so interesting to me?” And the further context with guy that I’d kinda be into, Jake isn’t the guy she’d typically go for. She doesn’t like that he’s popular, she likes that he seemingly cared about her passion for theater and that her performance touched him.

[@SimoneJewelz]

But yeah, this song would’ve done great for making sense of Jeremy’s belief that he has to be popular in order for Christine to like him

[@picnicsandstars]

@@SimoneJewelz I definitely see that reading. I took it as her being attracted to that popularity in spite of herself, because she knows falling for the popular boy is cliche and shallow but the idea of being loved by someone popular overrides that. That's how I interpretted "always found him lame, all the same, he said I was good." But I also misheard "interesting to me" as "interested in me" so your correction muddies it

[@makicriesalot]

@@radxianixe but have you held hands with a stranger? It's fun, especially if it was on accident at first then both of you are confused but then you just look them straight in the eye and say "yes, I do." Then walk away as if nothing happened. Important.
