the fact that jean knew next to nothing about bryson but took one look at jeremy’s face and decided something had to be done about him is wild. the fact that he stood up calmly and yet waited for jeremy to react again, heard the panic in his voice, and acted, is telling.
“it is my place to assess and handle threats against you” is like the absolute best way of saying “I’ll protect you” that I’ve ever read.
and I know we all lost our minds over this scene because of what jean goes and does and APPROPRIATELY SO, but like…
I almost never see anyone talk about the fact that this is the first time jean has a protective instinct towards jeremy. and instead of something like “I’ll go talk to him” or “I’ll make him leave” . . . . .
nora really had jean pretty much go “cat, hold my monopoly money. I don’t want to get blood on it.” and then he went and THREW A MOTHERFUCKER OFF THE PORCH. and then held him against the windshield because bryson was too stupid to stay put. choked him.
again we all lost our ever-loving minds and squealed and screamed because HOW COULD YOU NOT? but nora set a wild standard for people everywhere because this was jean’s first time protecting jeremy and look at how extremely he reacted. raven or not, damn.
guys. peeps. that next book is gonna be gold.
Don't think about Aaron Minyard
Don't think about Aaron Minyard at the Foxes and Ravens match
Don't think about how he had to watch his brother be attacked
Don't think about how he only had enough time to shout
Don't think about how he wasn't fast enough
Don't think about him seeing someone swing a racquet at Andrew
Don't think about how he knows damn well that a racquet swung with enough force can kill a man
Don't think about how he remembers the weight of that racquet in his hands as he swung
Don't think about how he fought for his brother
Don't think about Aaron Minyard
People do not talk about the "only once" line enough. Not only is it hot as fuck, but Jean is under contract to not cause problems, to uphold the Trojans reputation, so he did that to redirect attention, to threaten, and to take control of the situation. Yes, he is still following every rule, but he is also warning him that is can and will break those rules if he needs to. The next time he swings, it will land. He's lucky the were not alone.
protective jean & his partner!!!!!
Been working on my OC's some more, finally got around to attempting to do Annaliese 😅 I fear she is too pretty for my level of talent
Mostly just bored sketches that I did while not paying attention
Jeremy having a really hard day and only has like 30 mins to spare before he has to be home, but he really doesnt want to be there, so he goes and sits in the parking lot at the girls/Jeans apartment. Jean comes out to grab his helmet and sees Jeremy, sitting in his car with his eyes closed listening to music just barely keeping himself together. Jean walks up to the window, tapping at the glass, startling Jeremy. Rolling down the window, Jeremy turns down the music with an embarassed smile.
"What are you doing out here?" Jean asks, noticing how red Jeremys eyes are.
"Oh, I didnt have time to go in, but... its easier to be here right now. I knew Laila would want me to stay so," Jeremy shrugs, to which Jean just nods, walks around the car and opens the passanger door.
"What are you-?"
"Do what you were doing. I have this." Jean pulls a small box out of his pocket, making a loose motion to the radio. He says nothing else as he starts connecting the com system to his helmet. Jeremy just stares at him, a warm comfort in his chest, then turns the music back up, watching Jeans hands as they screw in the microphone. They sit like that until Jeremy has to leave, listening to music and enjoying each others company. Still not wanting to go home, Jeremy says he has to go and Jean stares at him for a moment, seeing the color back in Jeremys face, then gets out of the car, and Jeremy feels just a little better.
The song in my head for this is
And it softly plays out while they sit together, Jeremy never taking his eyes off of Jean.
Some of my fav out of context quotes for my current WIP :
"I'm convinced your last brain cell is a ping pong ball and I'm pretty sure it had a hole in it."
"You hate me." [He says lovingly]
She smiles. (This one is significant for trans reasons 🥲)
"Your father could never hate you, mine could never love me"
"I don't think its often that 'foul' and 'beautiful' are used to discribe the same thing." (This pleases her)
"Mr. Jones has had to put up with you two brain-dead gentlemen for fifteen years..."
"Never anger. Jealousy, but never anger."
"I never meant to love you" (this one was devastating to write)
"...that coffin is where he belongs and I'm grateful that he is gone." (Get his ass!)
"You shouldn't, 'good' is a word I would never use to describe myself."
"Have you ever dug a grave?" (Hehehehe [menacing])
I want it so badly to be a step by step process. Starting out fully clothed with Jeremy washing his hair and arms the, maybe he realizes Jean can't stand water in his face so he just wipes him down with wet hands instead of trying to get him under the water. Maybe a week or so goes by and it happens again, but this time Jean's comfortable enough to take off his shirt, allowing Jeremy to wash his back and get the lent out of his scars. (As someone with a lot of scars lent is such a battle especially in spots you can't reach) By the third time Jean is able to close his eyes without being scared, letting the water rush over him without flinching. Two or three months into these occasional showers, Jean is willing to try to put his face in the water, but he clings to Jeremy the whole time, who holds a dry towel for him if he panics. And they get through it and Jean is learning that the water isn't what hurt him. Showers can be good. Showers with Jeremy are better.
desperately in need of a non-sexual jerejean shower scene with their clothes on. jeremy washing jean’s hair. jean realizing that water is not always meant to hurt, but it can even be relaxing. jeremy softly yapping non-stop so jean doesn’t get lost in his thoughts. help
Okay, I'm supposed to be sleeping but I need to make this or I'll die.
We're all talking about how this is the only universe where Jean lives, but the same applies to Jeremy. Throughout TSC and TGR there are multiple references of how Jeremy views his 5th year as his "last year". The most damming is this:
I think it's fair to say that Jeremy was planning to kill himself after he finished college. He'd be forced to do the LSAT, and it doesn't matter if he succeedes or not, Mathilda would never allow him to pursuit a career on professional Exy. Even without Jean, the Trojans would surely win this year Championships, and Jeremy would have the taste of the life he can't have. He'd be forced to abandon the only thing that brings him purpose and joy; the only thing that allows him to be himself without expectations; and do something he hates for the rest of his life. He'd reach his breaking point.
We know Jeremy is very close to the edge. It may not appear, mainly because of how hard he avoids dealing with his crumbling mental state. He's like this big, beautiful and lush tree that's completely hollowed out and rotten on the inside. It looks healthy and strong, but one strong wind and it topples like a piece of paper. Jeremy is on his last strings. He may not kill himself in every timeline, but he'd be like Andrew without Neil: joyless.
The only thing that brings him away from the edge is Jean. Jean is the one who gives Jeremy strength to confront his family. Beacuse Jean makes his life worth fighting for. The same way Jeremy makes Jean's life worth living.
They are truly meant for the other. They are soulmates in the purest, most literal form, for one cannot live without the other. Jean is destined to die without his Sun. Jeremy is destined to snuff out without his Moon.
Things I want to happen school bus graveyard
• Aiden to lose it and go apeshit one someone (phantom or a person)
• for Ashlyn to be genuinely happy for more than one panel 🥲
• Ben to say something (whispering or yelling, maybe sometime happens and he no longer cares what he sounds like/ how bad it hurts)
• ( specifically in the facility ) one of them to get fatally hurt and the others all desperatly trying to break out of their rooms/break the lock ( I dont really want anyone to die but I think it would make for a great scene for them to use like the dresser drawers or something to bust out)
• For Taylor to save the day via mechanical skills (escape car?)
• For the parents (specifically Jessica 😠) to finally understand the extent of what their kids have gone through
Sbg fast pass spoilers
This panel makes my brain release the happy chemical. Taylor is so gentle and caring and Logan is just a bebe, I adore them. Some pairings I really want to see more of are these two, Taylor and Aiden and Ben and Tyler. Logan and Taylor are just so loving and adorable, they give me such cozy vibes. Then the choas that would be Taylor and Aiden, she definitely lets him instigate her and rope her into mischief. Ben and Tyler seem like such a chill duo. Ben is pretty relaxed most of the time and I feel like hes not at all intimidated by Tyler's tough guy exterior. These two definitely would sit back and watch the choas of Aiden and Taylor unfold, only bothering to step in if it gets too dangerous.
Im both excited and nervous they are split up. We will probably get more backstory and moments of comfort but also I think the chapters might feel a little slower and I fear it might drag out, 🤷♀️
