a soft, warm smile makes it over her lips as she sees the person that one of her best students goes on AND on about. she finds it adorable, in his little voice, all the things that he finds cool about his dad. “ jeremy, then.” she says quickly, correcting herself. she needed to write that down somewhere. she shook his hand with a bit of a chuckle, he was one of the few that she was actually excited to talk about. “ it’s fine. believe it or not, my card has been pretty full tonight. “ with another soothing laugh as she sat down herself and pushed a folder towards the man. “ these are your son’s projects. he’s quite fond of drawing and he’s been doing this thing where he’ll draw a little heart on his favorite people where there heart would be. super cute and he’s just so good. i barely even have to ask him to do something.” she said, cutting herself off as she realized she’d been rambling. AGAIN.
“i believe it– if this is the second half of the evening, and there are still this many people here? i guess i’m glad i didn’t have to fight the crowd.” five seconds in the room with this woman, and jeremy already knows that she is the best possible thing for his son. as a kid, when he thought teacher, he thought old and mean and not invested in the class’ success. but ms forbes is warm and bright and inviting. hell, he feels encouraged just sitting there! it’s little wonder his boy is always talking about school and wanting to be at school– sometimes more than he wants to be at home. seeing the folder, he perks up and leans forward, beginning to thumb through ricky’s works. some of these, he’s seen before, but several are news to him. “most little boys in our neighborhood save up their allowances for candy and baseball cards– ricky saves his for colored pencils and sketch pads,” he shakes his head in disbelief; it still baffles him how lucky he’s been. his aunt jenna always said he’d end up raising a child just like him– so far, this was one of the few things they had in common. “how is he with his classmates? we’re having trouble with making friends at the park– he doesn’t want to run around and play with the other kids.” thinly veiled concern is etched on his face. it’s his turn to ramble. “he’ll sit at the picnic table and if they come up to him, he’ll talk. but he won’t go out of his way to engage them. is that normal? i mean, have you noticed anything that he might be having trouble here?”
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.
