#Jeremy the snail

[moriartyyoushouldseemeinacrown]

This is Jeremy the snail. I now love Jeremy the snail. Let's make Jeremy the snail famous/nf

[grovesnail]

Jeremy the 'lefty' snail sitting with Theresa the 'righty' snail. Jeremy is a sinistral, or left-coiled snail, meaning his organs are reversed. He can only mate with other sinistrals. He found a left-coiled mate, with the help of Nottingham University, called Tomeau!!! His children are dextral (right-coiled) but scientists think that the gene lives on through the mother, so their children may be sinistral, or their childrens children. (yes, they are named after Jeremy Corbyn of the Left wing party in Britian.) credits to the university of nottingham and everybody involved with this project! read more about jeremy and his friends:

Jeremy munched upon the leaf litter on the ground, unconcerned with the world at large. What was it to him? What could intrigue him more than the taste of this fine meal? Lifting an eye stalk lazily, he took no note of the curious eyes observing himself. The strange creatures that wandered far outside his purview, within his plane of existence, but so far outside his realm that it was of no consequence to his mind or soul. If he was not to be eaten then he shall contain his focus to the detritus before him, which while not beneath the interest of those above him, was at least something of a combined interest to both man and snail. After all, who wouldn't want to know what the rarest snail on Earth ate?

sarah snook, kieran culkin, and jeremy strong all having a 2024 film that is doing well (memoir of a snail, a real pain, the apprentice) can be something soooooo satisfying

~maybe another TSC fanfic idea?

Jeremy often helps Jean shower once he realizes how much distress it causes Jean. They both wear swim trunks, and Jeremy washes Jean's hair and face and lets Jean lean on him any time Jean begins to panic.

Afterward, Jean sits on Jeremy's bed while Jeremy blow-dries his hair. Jean leans his head on Jeremy's chest and is overly aware of Jeremy standing between his legs to reach his hair while drying it. He's overly aware of Jeremy in a lot of ways since Jeremy started to take care of him like this.

Jean feels he's become almost addicted to Jeremy's gentleness, craving more and more of it, and knowing how likely Jeremy is to give it if he indicates he wants it. Jean thinks of how no one has ever been so gentle to him and that no one who's ever touched him intimately has done so without malice; and with that thought in his mind, Jean tells Jeremy, "You're always so careful with me." before asking Jeremy if he wants to sleep with him.

Jeremy is (not incorrectly) of the opinion that Jean may still be too vulnerable to be making decisions about sleeping with anyone and tells Jean exactly that. Jean didn't expect the rejection. Jeremy has been indulging Jean a lot lately and Jean has noticed Jeremy looking at him with interest, so Jean is a bit hurt by it and wonders if Jeremy said no because some part of him is put off by what he's learned about Jean's past.

Jeremy quickly quells many of Jean's worries by asking if he can take Jean on a date instead. Jeremy admits that he's never truly dated but that Jean means too much to him to be a quick hookup.

------

*They start dating and taking things at a snail's pace.

**It takes place during winter and includes a very precious first kiss after Jeremy takes Jean to see a ton of incredible holiday light displays, which Jean has never gotten to see before.

***They probably exchange gifts.

****At some point, Cat and Laila leave to visit Laila's family for the holidays.

*****And Jeremy won't let Jean be alone in the house, so he comes to stay for the remainder of their winter break.

there was this one phineas and ferb episode which i don't even remember the actual story of but in the c plot candace and some other girl got jobs at mr slushidog. and ofc candace wanted to impress jeremy but this other girl was just better than her at literally everything and she'd make fun of candace and call her a snail because she was so slow and candace told her she was even slower but she couldn't come up with a good comparison and they kind of dropped the topic. and then by the very end of the episode candace (out of NOWHERE) goes "hah, starfish! they're slower than snails!" and jeremy and the girl just kinda. stare at her for a moment and then the girl goes "oh wow you're so quick" and it's one of my FAVORITE jokes from the show and NO ONE talks about it

[kiwibirb1]

Yes, this is what I was trying to remember! Thank you for your snail knowledge, friend.

You know that snail who's shell was like counterclockwise or something so he couldn't mte with normal snails because his bits were in the wrong spot? And how there was this whole thing about finding him a mate? What if that was just an ace snail? Like he grew his shell the other way so that he would never have to worry. And then some stupid humans came along who liked his genetic mutation and forced him to reproduce (I can't remember if they managed to find him a mate)

Part one ^

lore under cut

Jesters leave their box after they die, like a snail, so Jeremy slid into one. He can’t run very fast and he can’t bite you but he did keep the shotgun in there. He does talk but it’s very garbled, so it’s a little hard to make out whatever he says. He does climb on walls, so keep an eye out. There’s a reference with him and props to anyone who can find it.

pickles is the scavengers companion, it started following him around after he saved it from a bunker spiders web (said bunker spider is now worn on the scavengers back). It seems to recognize the scavengers base as a hoard so it often wanders off and brings presents and food to it, and the scavenger can move and use whatever scrap it brings as long as he gives pickles a cut of his food. Pickles doesn’t yippee pickles goes gkamfbnabskcnamfkahs.

Really looking forward to the Chris Pine D&D movie, and I want to share some love for the original attempt at a D&D film from 2000!

Make no mistake, this is a so-bad-it’s-good film, with digital effects that are ropey as hell (especially when you consider that Fellowship of the Ring was already in post-production in 2000), a plot so disjointed it barely exists, (including a final battle that the main characters don’t even really take part in) and staggering levels of camp.

But it’s fucking charming.

Jeremy Irons (Scar from The Lion King) is the villain, an evil archmage who wants to overthrow an (not particularly benevolent anyway) empire with a plan that is never really clear but involves dragons?

Just look at this guy:

:readmore:

He walks about like that for the whole film, waggling his fingers slowly so you know he’s the baddie. He has an office where all the furniture and decor is made of human skulls and bones (a real location; I believe it’s a church somewhere?) and likes swooping his cape about. And Jeremy Irons himself is so bored, it’s hilarious. I seem to remember that in the dvd extras he’s interviewed alongside Gary Gygax and pretty much expresses open disdain for the whole process. He’s a serious actor! This is beneath him!

Elsewhere on the supporting cast, we have a henchman with spiky armour and inexplicably blue lips that are always pouting in a way that seems vaguely sexual; Tom Baker(!) as a wood elf Druid who only exists in order to say something vaguely mystic about dragons for 20 seconds before disappearing forever; and Richard O’Brien in full fey bastard mode as a camp thieves’ guild master who challenges the party to…find a crystal…in a deadly maze filled with traps and puzzles. Like in that game show he used to present…I forget the name. I wanna say Diamond Labyrinth? 😂

As for the party, it’s all delightfully one-note characters. We’ve got a rogue? bard? who goes from being a selfish dickhead to altruistic freedom fighter on a dime. Some dialogue suggests he’s some kind of chosen one, but the plot never actually explores or resolves that. Then there’s a wizard who doesn’t like poor people, an elf fighter who doesn’t like anyone, a dwarf who’s so out of it he barely knows he’s there and is never given any character motivation to explain why he’s travelling with these guys; and some dude called Snails, whose personality is…he’s scared? Basically Shaggy without Scooby.

These guys have to save a princess from Jeremy Irons, who wants to kill her because she has friendly dragons or something. But here’s the great thing: the party have very little reason to want to rescue her (most of them as non-mages are actively oppressed and even enslaved by the ruling mage class of which she is the figurehead) and they never actually *meet* her until the very end of the film, after the evil archmage has pretty much already been defeated - by the princess and her dragons btw, not the party, who basically teleport a magic wand to her and then just watch.

They rescue her because in order for the film to be a film, there needs to be an end goal, even if it’s totally arbitrary. And that’s what I love. Isn’t that just so reflective of a slightly haphazard campaign of Dungeons & Dragons with a party that’s hastily thrown together?

And there are more similarities that compound this feeling of watching some randoms play a home campaign. The plot as I mentioned is disjointed. It’s not a series of events that flows or has any kind of pacing - the movie is a series of 15 minute adventures that don’t really connect to each other or build to the ending. As if the director is a dungeon master arbitrarily stringing together modular adventure sourcebooks! Let’s storm a castle for reasons! Great, now let’s raid a tomb. No, I don’t know why. At one point a party member just bounces from the plot and is never seen again, just like that player in your group who never shows up and you all just move on.

It’s like the writers transcribed a home campaign, warts and all, into script form and then somehow successfully pitched it as a B-movie. Though the Chris Pine version will doubtlessly be a much better movie, Dungeons & Dragons (2000) is perhaps the most accurate possible dramatic presentation of D&D as it actually is in practice for most people playing it. What could be more charming than that?
