MICHAEL CARRYING JEREMY ON HIS BACK
extra wholesome to make up for yesterday's angst fest
I was reading the lyric booklet along with the Broadway album and I found that SQUIP calls Jeremy bae in Be More Chill Part 1 and I'm not sure how to feel about this :/
Also does anyone else find the text is like, super tiny? Like, I had to borrow my mom's reading glasses. I mean I don't know if I'm just blind, this is a possibility, but like I swear I can normally read CD booklets? I dunno. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
thinking about the theory that all the characters/trains in stex are based off of people control actually knows in real life and they sort of insert themself as rusty in their dream.
pearl is obviously a girl they have a crush on. maybe shes a new neighbour , a new kid at school. maybe if we’re getting sentimental she wears a pearl necklace which gave control the idea of naming her pearl.
greaseball could be controls older sister , maybe shes a little mean to him sometimes , as siblings often are , maybe thats how she manifests as a big bully in their dream.
dinah is controls older sisters girlfriend , she probably thinks hes cute and tells controls older sister to lay off of them and stop being so mean. control probably thinks that dinah is too good for greaseball since shes so nice to them.
the other coaches could be their sister’s girlfriends friends maybe? they come round sometimes to hang out and are often pretty nice to control as well. i like to think their personalities manifest as their own type of train , like yes the irl dinah gives them snacks sometimes so shes a dining car , irl tassita is always telling irl greaseball to shush so hes a quiet coach , the irl belle is always having sleepovers so shes a sleeping car. etc. etc.
electra could be a new kid at school , a bully perhaps , the comps are their little posse. irl killerwatt could be a kid who gets in a lot of fights , irl wrench is someone who is always hanging around the medical bay , irl joule is a misbehaving child who maybe set something on fire once (dynamite truck) , god knows why irl volta is a freezer truck.
the irl freight are just the class clowns. a bit annoying to control but they’re still his friends.
momma obviously represents his mum.
the engines are maybe a couple more bullies , maybe theyre in the year above , control doesnt like them very much. they hang around with their older sister and are always teasing him.
thats just my thoughts on it. i think its a cool theory is all.

IT RUNS IN THE FAMILY by caswell on AO3
Jeremy Heere has had a lot of bullshit in his life. He’s been bullied, he’s struggled with mental illness, he was in a car crash that ruined his hearing- but he can cope with all of that at least moderately well. When he receives a letter from his estranged, domineering mother inviting him to her new home in Nacogdoches, though, the ground beneath his feet threatens to crumble.
Jeremy doesn’t respond at first. Should he tell him? Of course he should know, he’s his best friend, but… he’s not his therapist. It’s not like it’ll help. It’ll probably just be burdensome (because, after all, he is burdensome). Still, he finally answers, “I, uh. I don’t think I like my mother.”
Michael blinks, mildly surprised. “Really? When she left, you ran to my house sobbing.”
That’s true. That day was a blur- he remembers waking up, asking his father why he looked so sad and where his mother went, because it was Sunday, after all, so she should be home, and then it bleeds into the deep recesses of his mind and he can’t quite claw it up. But he remembers, too, Michael holding him in his arms, hugging him while he shook and sobbed and whined for his mother like a fucking baby. Michael, who had always been there; Michael, who always would be, like he’d promised him that day.
