-His full name is Jeremiah Ariel Heere
-Bisexual demiboy
-Despite Rich calling him tall-ass he’s only 5’7
-He’s extremely lanky, most of his height comes from his legs.
-Covered in acne and acne scars all over his face
-The SQUIP’s spinal stimulation left electric blue scars all down his back.
-He has some sparse freckles dotted on his face
-Michael helps him put on scar cream on his back
-Michael also likes to doodle on his scars and acne when he’s bored
-Usually he’ll draw flowers, or try to make constellations out of them to make Jeremy feel better
-Other times he just draws dicks
-Has anxiety, depression, and anemia which makes him bruise easily.
-He loves sea creatures!! He volunteers at the aquarium during the summer
-He has lots of nervous ticks, like biting his fingernails
-Often times after he’s bitten his nails to the core he’ll start biting his hand
-Brooke and Chloe begin to notice this and take charge. Brooke wraps his hands in ace bandages and Chloe gave him a guitar pick on a necklace for him to chew on when he gets stressed.
-Has a ton of stim toys and squishies, most of them sea creatures.
-Once upon a time he and Michael decided it would be cool to be able to skateboard. They got too small skateboards from a yard sale and Jeremy (being the klutz he is) tripped on the halfpipe. His teeth got so fucked up he had to get braces he still wears to this day. He usually has them the colours of the bisexual flag
-His hair is silky and curly when it’s short but if he lets it grow out it becomes easily tangled and just a MESS. It swallows everything, he’s lost like four hairbrushes.
-He started to get a crush on Christine in eighth grade. To try and impress her/get closer to her Jeremy auditioned for the school play. He was cast as Charlie Brown in ‘You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown!’
-After the SQUIPCIDENT the shit he received at school got worse. He wears long oversized sweaters for comfort and to cover up the bruises and scratches he gets from being beat up.
-He has dolphin fursona he made as a joke with Brooke and now everyone calls him a furry.
-He was always generally feminine, when he was little his mother even bought him a tutu. Jeremy hid his liking for these things for the fear of being teased but after the SQUIP he stopped caring so much about what people thought and decided to wear what he wanted. Even if it means wearing a skirt or a dress he just goes ‘Fuck it’
-Ultra sensitive to weather changes, he gets cold and sick super easily. When he’s sick he gets so weak he can’t eat soup with a spoon so he drinks it from a slushee cup.
-Halfway responsible for getting Christine high.
-Sold all of his mother’s Beanie Boos plus used his bar mitzvah money to afford a SQUIP.
-He gets insomnia and nightmares after the SQUIPCIDENT. He’s also scared of loud noises (fireworks, explosions, gunshots, people screaming at him, etc)
-The SQUIP comes back every month or so and Jeremy chugs Mountain Dew red till it’s gone. He drinks Mountain Dew Red regularly just to make sure it doesn’t come back.
-He knows how to play the guitar and is learning how to play the ukulele.
-Rich and him are really good friends. They bonded over all the traumatic shit they went through.
-He had to learn Hebrew for his bar mitzvah. He then learned Tagalog to learn what the heck Michael was saying. Michael and him now have full on conversations in Tagalog when they don’t want people to understand what they’re saying.
-Jeremy and Michael got matching sweaters but Jeremy’s says ‘L O S E R’. But after the bathroom incident he stitched over it and now it says ‘L O V S E R’.
-He knows how to embroider, sew, and mend clothes. He does it for fun now but his mother would often forget to buy him new clothes and he’d have to fix them himself.
-Jake and him were never on bad terms but after Jake started dating Rich they got closer. They’re track and field buds now.
-Brooke has adopted Jeremy as her and Chloe’s son™
-Cannot dance FOR SHIT.
-He’ll wake up from nightmares at four in the morning and hug his pillow till he calms down.
-He has to go to therapy after the SQUIP, he goes to the same therapist as Michael and their therapist is a lovely lady named Veronica.
-He’ll wear makeup but he’s not GOOD at it, he usually gets Jenna to do it.
-Jeremy’s got a little bit of a stammer, but when he was younger it was way more noticeable. He was really shy as a kid and stuttered out and mixed up his words all the time.
