lemme just talk about rebekah’s guilt for a moment. the guilt oh god the guilt she feels the guilt she’ll carry around heavy on her chest EVERY MOMENT OF EVERY DAY FOREVER because it’s her fault. she’s the one who took this beautiful soul who was so wonderfully human (so much so it completely entranced her) and she went and forced him into a life he never wanted. one, in fact, that he hated with a passion. just because she LOVED him because she couldn’t be SELFLESS for him and just let him die like he wanted. she’ll walk around drowning in that guilt while doing her damnedest to make sure he doesn’t see. because she’s gotta be strong for him it’s her job to protect him and offer a guiding hand through this. she’s the only one who can do it for him properly, the only one who can give him what he truly needs as he transitions into this new life as a vampire. and she will DIE before she puts any more on his shoulders. he’s going through so much and she will not — SHE WILL NEVER — make his burden even heavier by maybe making him feel like he has to be strong for her. so she will pick him up, pick up his burdens as her own. she will follow him and stay with him loyally and unconditionally. she will clean him up again and again if she has to. she will burn bodies and she will dig graves, all without judgement, all without trying to make him feel like he’s some kind of monster or that he has to be trying harder because he’s not fully in control yet. she will let him go through this at his pace, no matter how slow it is. and she will never treat him differently or expect the impossible of him during this. like you said, she will be his rock through and through. and during all this during every second she will be crush by guilt and fighting so hard to make sure he doesn’t know. and OH GOD. as he begins to settle into his new existence, as he learns control, as he becomes exactly who she knew he could be (with that same beautiful soul), her guilt will not go away. she won’t forgive herself. but as his suffering lessens more and more so will hers. and they will find comfort in each other. they will learn that just because they’re made of broken pieces it does not make them lost causes, especially in each other’s eyes. they’re the only people who won’t judge them for their jagged edges and difficult pasts because they’ve both been there and they both understand. they’ll learn that they’re not impossible to love and they’re not just misfits as everyone else sees them. they will start to find the light IN EACH OTHER.
in other news i’m already planning their wedding while crying.
this is an independent tvd roleplay account, with verses to accommodate both the book and the tv show series. my jeremy is canon divergent after season 2. in general, most of my verses are set specifically after 3x11 when jeremy is compelled by damon to leave mystic falls. this is the easiest place for crossovers to occur as well. i have seen through season five, but don't expect to see a lot of s4-8 on this blog. if you do, guaranteed it's not canon compliant.
two important plot items: i will never write the infidelity stuff of s3. and i won't write jeremy killing kol. these are personal choices.
this blog has existed on tumblr since early 2011, with the original url being gilbert-jeremy. i've also used the urls jeremysgone (post-4x14), jeremysback (post-4x23), and dontyouxdare (post s5 finale).
due to the nature of jeremy's story, you may find triggering themes featured here, including self-harm, mental health issues, drugs, alcohol, addiction, violence, abuse, murder, suicide, and death. this blog will NOT write ANYTHING related to rape/sexual assault. please tag your nsfw so tumblr savior can do it's job!
on the subject of tagging, please tag anything related to jeremy's death in 4x14 as stacey don't look. Same goes for audio posts of 'Come Home' by OneRepublic aka the soundtrack to Jeremy's first death. Thanks!
SHIPPING: i am equal-opportunity as far as shipping goes, but roleplay is about so much more than romance and smut. i am an absolute sucker for a good, honest, platonic friendship. relationships are all fine and good, but it's the friendships that weave in and out that make them really special. i will never force a ship on you, and i ask that you return the same courtesy. the only ship i will flat out refuse is romantic damon x jeremy.
ORIGINAL CHARACTERS: are my lifeblood. please have a simple bio accessible on your blog for me to read!
PSA: IF I CAN'T READ YOUR BLOG, I WON'T FOLLOW YOU. it is not my job to make YOUR blog legible.
STARTERS: if you want to tag me in a random starter, go ahead! just remember that don't know the plots of seasons 6-8!
MEMES: send 'em. i don't care if we're mutuals or not. i do not believe in reblog karma and honestly don't care if you 'use' me as a 'meme resource.'
CONTACT ME: i will always reply to anything in my tag- as opposed to my inbox. i'm not the best at replying to messages or meme requests for that matter. i don't have a discord or skype and don't really plan on getting either.
WARNING: my muse is fickle, and i won't always reply to things in the order i receive them. i will not put up with being guiltripped to roleplay- whether it's passive aggressive posts or sending 'poke' messages to remind me to reply. i will literally just unfollow you and be done with it. i created jeremy to be my safe space away from a toxic rp environment, and i won't allow anyone to compromise that.
while this is a JEREMY GILBERT blog, there are three versions of him you may find on here, depending on the universe you interact with him. see the FCs here.
MUN: hi! my name is stacey (she/her). i'm 26 years old, and my otp is jeremy x allison argent (teen wolf). you can catch me at my personal blog here or my personal twitter here!
ICONS: starting of march 2019, any srm icons i will be using for replies have been made by my roleplay mum rachie. all mooney icons are made by the lovely evie. don't steal 'em!
biography
Jeremy is the adoptive brother and biological cousin of Elena Gilbert. Depending on his timeline, Jeremy is either a medium (prior to the collapse of the Other Side) or a member of the Brotherhood of the Five (a hunter). His best friends are Matt Donovan, Tyler Lockwood, and Bonnie Bennett.
Prior to the beginning of the series, his parents died in a tragic car accident. His sister, Elena, was also in the car that night, but managed to survive thanks to Stefan Salvatore, who rescued her before she could drown. As a way of coping with the accident, he started dealing and using drugs, but soon stopped after the death of his first girlfriend, Vicki Donovan, who had supposedly died of an overdose. Following the murder of his second girlfriend Anna, Jeremy purposely overdosed on pills after drinking vampire blood in the hope of becoming a vampire so he could turn off his humanity. However, his attempt to become a vampire failed, and the blood healed the damage the pills caused to his system.
Jeremy was shot by Sheriff Forbes after Damon dodged the bullet, and was revived by Bonnie, who at the time was channeling the power of over a hundred massacred witches at the witch burial ground. However, the spell that caused him to be revived also gave him the power to see ghosts, causing him to be haunted by the ghosts of his dead girlfriends Vicki and Anna.
After experiencing multiple traumatic events as a result of the supernatural drama in his town, including being compelled by Klaus to stand in front of a speeding car, Elena feared for his safety and arranged for Damon to compel him to live with extended family in Denver.
