[otomes-and-tears]

Wondering what your thoughts and opinions are on the rest of the jerk squad boys, especially Nate?

Know that asking me this was a mistake because I’m RABID for them. I’m FOAMING at the mouth and shaking just at being asked to ramble about my boys because I am plagued by thoughts of them that I’m absolutely going to unleash upon you now.

This is not going to be coherent at all. I apologise for that.

By the way— since I already talk about Shiloh way too much, he’s not going to have his little section here. If you want to see my rambles about him, please check my masterlist!

I’m probably going to talk about Jeremy separately because…. I actually haven’t finished his route. It’s the only one that’s left.

Since you asked about him first, Nate is one of my favourite boys. I have a special place in my heart for him because he kind of reminds me of my girlfriend, and I do think that his dynamic with JB is one of the most entertaining in the bunch. He’s always snapping back at her and it’s so fucking funny. Every time they’re out together I keep getting this mental image of JB being strapped in a baby leash with Nate trailing behind her like an exhausted parent.

Like Shiloh, he’s also a character that I think about a LOT, particularly about the way he handles (or does not handle) his emotions and his obsessive need to have control over everything around him.

I think it’s really telling that Nate continuously strives for perfection and frequently neglects his own emotional needs when he practically raised himself, admittedly saw the school as his home, and when we know for a fact that he was seen and treated as a mini-adult throughout his life.

Like, you cannot tell me he wasn’t praised endlessly as a child for being independent and self-sufficient and then when he grew older people were constantly exasperated that he was too independent and didn’t know when to ask for help when needed! Nate is probably endlessly confused as to why something that was touted as being such a good trait for a good portion of his life suddenly became a problem.

Anyways, I think it’s kind of tragic how he spent most of his life at that school and I legit teared up when they graduated. It’s also very sweet how despite being a perv and living to make him uncomfortable, JB is surprisingly respectful of his boundaries regarding physical touch and doesn’t push him to kiss or hug her. Yeah, she teases him about missing the perfect moment but she’s happy to let him decide when he’s ready to do all of that!

It’s also nice that she tries to support him, even if she isn’t exactly good at it. SHE’S TRYING HER BEST BC THEY LEGIT LIKE EACH OTHER EVEN IF THEY BOTH HAVE ISSUES!!

Regarding Everett… I didn’t expect to like his route as much as I did, but he has SO MUCH ANGST POTENTIAL.

Like, his whole relationship with Nate? The fact that he’s a momma’s boy?? HE WAS REJECTED BY PRAN In like, the WORST way possible??

It’s just, chef’s kiss. A whole lotta angst wrapped inside a tiny, hipster-shaped package. Pure perfection.

My only issue with his route is that the whole time, I felt like JB was getting in between him and Nate. This is my headcanon, but I feel like after high school, if JB and Everett don’t immediately have an explosive, dramatic breakup there are only two possible routes: either he leaves her for Nate or they add Nate into the mix.

I’m sorry, but no other alternatives compute for me, not after their conversation in the tunnel of love. That shit goes way past just a codependent friendship.

I think I’ve mentioned this once before but Bae is likely my second favorite jerksquad guy. I can’t really explain why his condescension is so funny to me, but it might be because my favorite parts of the game were the group meetings and Bae’s borderline paternalistic attitude towards the other characters (because he’s mAtURE and knows what’s best for them) and his sarcasm made for some really great dialogue and some of the funniest scenes in my opinion.

Just as a side note— I played xoxo blood droplets and Bae’s route made me realize how much potential he has to be a yandere in an au! And now that I’m thinking about this I NEED to write about it. Even if it’s just headcanons or something.

I love him in game. I’d probably throw hands with him three minutes into a conversation if he existed IRL. I sent my girlfriend screenshots of his sons of his scenes while I played and she said that I was a bit like him. It made me reevaluate my life LOL

Okay so, I’m going to be real with you: Pran is my least favorite of the boys. I’ll admit that when I played through his route last year I kept complaining about not having that much fun and not liking him a lot as a character. My view changed as I got to the end of the game:

Pran’s is still my least favorite route but he’s one of the most interesting guys to analyze.

In the end, even if it took me a bit to get into it, I still ended up enjoying it immensely anyway.

I think what made me dislike him at first was that, ironically, I think that Pran as a character works best in group scenes. He’s a contrarian and he’s very quiet most of the time, which makes his very occasional interjections some of the funniest moments in the meetings, but that’s also why I didn’t find his dates as fun LOL

I think that with the other characters I had a better time because how they played off JB during their dates, while with Pran it was funny to see JB trying so hard to engage with him or get a rise out of him just for him to barely react (and it makes the instances where she does manage to catch him off guard very rewarding) on the first few times, but it started to get old for me. There’s only so many times I can hear him say no, and that he doesn’t care before it gets annoying.

For me the highlight of his route was seeing Shiloh have a weird, one-sided beef with him. Shiloh pretends to like everyone but this is where he draws the line apparently 😭

Anyways, you might be wondering why I said he’s one of my favourites to analyse if I didn’t have much fun playing through his route. That’s mostly because of his backstory, which I genuinely find to be fascinating.

He’s basically a textbook example of avoidant attachment, which is due to the severe neglect he suffered as a child. Honestly, I could make a whole post about this alone if anyone is interested.

That coupled with having to adopt a mentality where nothing he ever did or said was ever right, because either his parents or grandparents would get upset, which led to him always being quiet or choosing the contrarian option, and you get a pretty fascinating character to think about. It’s interesting to examine his relationships through this lense: it makes complete sense that Pran has a difficult time engaging with JB and connecting to her emotional needs. The few relationships he has maintained exist out of necessity! And he tries so hard to push her away, in the same way he pushed everyone else away, but she just refuses to leave. Refuses to accept defeat. She’s fully determined to figure him out and make their weirdass relationship work and it’s something I admire JB for. That girl is a TROOPER.

Hello! So I'm still playing XOD and love it very much. I just had a lightbulb moment that I don't THINK I've seen confirmed but may have just missed -- is the deal Pran made with his grandparents that made him agree to go to SSB and not just refuse to leave the house that Jeremy has to go also? Are Pran's grandparents paying for Jeremy to go to an insanely expensive private school because Pran won't go without him??? I love them so much.

I'm glad you like it! Yes, Pran's grandparents are paying Jeremy's tuition, haha.

[ofoceansandtombsanew]

My OL/XOD thoughts spurned by your post is Qiu joining the Jeremy&Pran squad. Moody bitches unite <3 "Fuck the world" mindset havers. They would enable each other into being better in a twisted, roundabout way. Most terrible trio to be around as an outsider but they make it work

Loved your tags adding to the chaos!

Honestly, Step 2 Qiu would be the perfect fit for a friend group with Jeremy and Pran. They all hate the world but are great at tolerating each other. Jeremy was persistent in being Pran's friend, so was Qiu. Now they're all stuck going to the same boarding school, hating everyone else.

Qiu still flirts with being popular, however, since unfortunately their aloofness sadly makes cool in the eyes of a good chunk of the student body. And to Everett who really went from Pran to Qiu, an absolute legend. But Qiu stands by their homies. If you beef with Pran and Jeremy, you're inherently beefing with Qiu. So Everett can't catch a break if Qiu is in the Misanthropic Trio. The Populars cannot get this star of the halls even if they were to beg.

But compared to Pran who can't tolerate Shiloh at all, I think Qiu would be right there with Jeremy in being able to tolerate him but still not considering Shiloh a friend or someone they'd be interested in knowing.

As for Nate, he's Tamarack's childhood friend no matter who develops a romantic interest in her. If it's someone other than himself, he's twice as much of a jerk to them than usual. Tam has no 7 evil exes you have to defeat to date her, she just has her asshole childhood friend you have to get through. And if it's Nate himself crushing on Tam, he has to defeat... himself.

ROUND 1 MATCH 82

Raul propaganda:

“Raul is a well-known movie star who is one of the Parasites (men deemed as undateable by the marriage agency you work for) - while most of the guys' problems are things like being hung up on an ex, too into work, or too judgemental to be dateable, Raul's flaw is that he's just really really into mythology and gets super enthusiastic about it which turns people off. They call him the Obsessed Parasite. The player character is a goddess of love and when she reveals knowing about myths, he gets incredibly excited and invites her to join his mythology research club. He's really interested in hearing her opinions on interpretations of myths and folklore even if they differ from his, and all he wants is to discuss the things he likes with someone who's willing to listen and understand. He's used to casual flings due to not being very interested in a relationship, so the MC is the first person he ever finds himself really, really invested in being with. Genuinely he's just a super passionate guy who's learning about love alongside the main character - in one of his endings he ends up becoming an author writing about mythology and it's super cute !!”

Pran propaganda:

“IDK why Jeremy was the XOD rep last time when his bestie is right there and even more dateable.”

Idk I just..

Why pran wearing the goofy outfit!!!!!!!

(Might draw them in the goofy movie fits because I’m actually unhinged.)

[regulusstarz]

Jeremy x Pran headcanons!

first time posting.. im totally cool haha..

This is my first time ive really written in this format, so sorry if it kinda sucks. I tried to keep it as close to canon as possible, but there's only so much you can do with those two stubborn silly billies..

» The confession took fucking LONG. Eventually JB just couldn't stand to witness that anymore and decided to play matchmaker.

» Jeremy would've probably confessed after JB pushed him to it. Pran would've been too stubborn and internally scared of messing up the friendship to do it. (JB used the fact that Jeremy could just tell Pran she forced him if he didn't reciprocate as a way to get him to finally do it).

» JB was not allowed to be there after the confession. Pran needed some alone time after it, but did accept Jeremy's confession eventually.

onto when they're actually dating!!

» Dates would probably be just hanging out like they always did. Pran sketching something while Jeremy does his own thing. Maybe they occasionally comment on something, but it's mostly just quietly enjoying each other's presence.

» Because of Jeremy's germaphobia, they don't actually really touch much. Pran is already a well-known person to him, so he can do little touches like laying against one another or holding hands for a couple minutes, but can't bring himself to go further than that.

» He knows Pran is secretly touch starved and wishes he could hug him, but his Germaphobia just makes him unable to do that. Just thinking about it makes him shudder.

» But Pran doesn't really have a problem with it. He knows how Jeremy is, and respects it. He would probably only do whatever Jeremy asked. The most he'll try to do is maybe simple hand touching (like fingers grazing one another), but even that would be extremely rare. He would feel way too guilty about making Jeremy uncomfortable to actually try and initiate anything.

» Jeremy didn't tell his parents and Pran didn't either. Jeremy because he didn't want to deal with his parents possibly making an even bigger fuss about his (boy)friend, and Pran because he thinks his family is not worth introducing Jeremy to. Jeremy already knows how shitty his parents are, no need to get them involved.

» But when Graduation comes near, they'd probably skip out on prom and go somewhere else togheter instead. Jeremy's parents would most likely want him to spend that day with them, but Jeremy either admits to Pran being his boyfriend in that moment and says they want some time alone (similarly to when you go to prom with Jeremy in XOD), or says that he and Pran had already made plans.

Sorry if they were short!! I tried my best. I'll probably get better with time ^^', i hope you enjoyed it though!!

Rising from the dead to make a post that no one but me will care about: assigning the droplets boys metalocalypse characters.

(The numbers didn't add up since there are 7 jerks and 5 dethklok guys so I left out JB and then I couldn't find someone that Nate fit. He'd be Charles if Lynn was out of the picture for sure tho)

Pran- Nathan

I swear I am not only going on designs, but that's definitely part of it (pretty big men ♡). Both are strong silent types with a lot of hate. Their general demeanor and outlook is similar. Plus, both canonically didn't speak (at least for a while) as kids (and the one scene of child Nathan reminds me of all the descriptions of child Pran). Both are some of the least academic/booksmart of the cast, also. Not everything fits (Nathan has a leadership role, passion, and a good relationship with his family, all unlike Pran), but they have enough strong basic similarities that I had to compare them.

Shiloh- Toki

Both are completely all over the map characters: are they sweethearts? Are they true genuine assholes? Are they somewhere in between? What is wrong with them? Are they okay? Both are very cute and childlike in presentation with a lot of unsavory traits underneath. Plus, both of of tend to be followers, going along with other people's random plans. Toki has more of a set characterization than Shiloh (who's kind of an enigma), but if anyone in the droplets cast fits Toki, it's Shiloh.

Everett- Pickles

I also debated Nate as Pickles but Everett works a lot better. Both are tiny guys filled with rage. Just anger and bitchiness in a tiny body. Pickles has had the most physical fights out of any character in his show, and the blood droplets kill levels confirm that Everett is the most violent of the jerks. Also, if Everett wasn't on constant watch by Nate, I think he'd absolutely be a party boy and drink a lot. The main difference in character is that Pickles has family issues galore and Everett is a momma's boy. Plus, Pickles is rarely an instigator and tends to just react to things, while Everett starts problems seemingly for fun. The comparisons are getting looser.

Bae- Skwisgaar

(I think JB also would've made a good Skwisgaar but I left her out of this) It's all about the confidence and self obsession. Both think that they are so fucking cool and want to lounge around and relax. They also both seem weak as hell (Bae is, and Skwisgaar seems to be, if his build and demeanor is anything to go on). Both have the utmost confidence in their own abilities and like to piss off their rival (either Nate or Toki) with that. The main difference between them is that Skwisgaar seemingly does a lot of work to be the best, he's constantly practicing guitar and he writes/works on the albums, whereas Bae kind of does jack shit and still thinks he's all that. Also, Bae's sex-adverse asexuality versus Skwisgaar's eternal ho phase lol

Jeremy- Murderface

I'M SORRY. This one is weird. I guess the main thing tying these two characters together is low self esteem. Most of dethklok and most of the xod cast don't really hate themselves- these two do. They also both have body issues, tied into that self hatred, that come up somewhat regularly. Both make everyone around them miserable, partially on purpose and partially because they are just Like That. The way they do it is different (Jeremy is a downer and Murderface just pisses people off), but it's the same general effect. There are a lot of differences, mainly that Jeremy is a germophobe and Murderface is nasty, but I had to assign someone Murderface and I wasn't losing the Pran-Nathan comparison so whatever ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Lynn- Charles

Just in role more than anything. Guy in charge of a group of assholes, who really does care about those assholes and puts up with all the insults and difficulty they throw at him. (Also hot. They are hot.)

Petition to put dethklok into an xobd-style dark comedy yandere dating sim/cyoa and to put the jerk squad in an adult swim cartoon with several legitimate music albums please and thank you

[buried-in-autumn-leaves]

When Aurora goes to Jeremy's graduation she's not surprised at all that he avoids her. She does, however, find who she's pretty sure is Pran outside the building. After confirming it is her, she passes on the gift she brought for Jeremy onto her. Because as funny as it would be, she doesn't want to actually upset her little brother.

(Also JB and Jeremy don't break up until after graduation in this timeline, and when she sees Jeremy getting flustered over this random girl in the audience she's like who the FUCK is that and that's why she's the only group member besides Pran to know ab that side of his family.)
