Life Story (TL;DR version)

•Born in Newtopia, the youngest of four!

•Leroy grew up as a mischievous and short-tempered kid who wanted to scuffle with others and, as a result, regularly got into altercations with his peers.

•Leroy’s parents were not accepting of this behavior, so they whipped him into shape and taught him to be proper.

•He quickly became one of the smartest among his peers after “being tamed” and finding an interest in learning.

•Met Olivia due to the closeness of their families, became friends with her.

•Acquired a passion for creating things!

•Started dabbling in the art of creating tapestries and drawing.

•Decided he wanted to be an engineer!...via the coersion of his parents.

•Went to Newtopia University and studied construction engineering.

•Always busy, had multiple relationships but they never lasted as he was too focused on what he wanted and was too invested in his creative endeavors.

•The reason Leroy threw himself into his work in the first place was to distract himself from his less-than-ideal home life and also to gain the approval of his parents.

•Graduation time!

•Leroy finally snaps, cuts all ties with his family, and is only really close with Olivia from then on.

•Caught the attention of King Andrias at the age of 33 for his artistic work.

•Andrias commissions Leroy to make some tapestries for him, which he does. It’s a hobby/side job Leroy took on (alongside robotics) while working on becoming a construction engineer.

•Andrias loves the tapestries so much that he knights Leroy. Leroy catches feelings for Andrias but represses them due to believing he’d never be good enough for him.

•Leroy continues his work as usual, becomes a better engineer, ends up getting consulted by Andrias again to do some construction work around parts of Newtopia.

•Three years later, the Calamity Trio ends up in Amphibia. Leroy and Marcy collaborate on different projects in Newtopia and get along like a house on fire.

•Andrias ends up having Leroy do an undercover project on the bridge that he built with Marcy. The “undercover project” in question was a golden statue of Marcy, which Andrias later surprises her with.

•Leroy ends up taking a vacation…which turns out to coincide with Andrias reclaiming the Calamity Box. Leroy panics upon returning to a destroyed Newtopia and flees into the wilderness, uncertain of how to process the situation.

•After a month or so of living in the wilderness, Leroy finds himself in a colder region of Amphibia and ends up hibernating. Tucked away in a long-abandoned den, frozen solid, covered in a thick layer of snow…

•Five months later, Leroy emerges from hibernation in the middle of the night and is confused with why the environment seemed so…messed up? And where the did THE ENTIRE MOON go????

•Leroy goes back to sleep, believing that it was a nightmare. (spoiler alert: it wasn’t)

•Leroy wanders through the wilderness once more and is found by General Yunan. He is reunited with Olivia, who believed he had perished in all the chaos that occurred when Andrias reconnected the Calamity Box to the castle.

•Olivia and Yunan update Leroy on everything they recalled from the time Andrias reclaimed the Calamity Box to the departure of the Calamity Trio. Leroy is uncertain of what to make of Andrias. He doesn’t hate him, but he doesn’t quite like him…he doesn’t really know. He finds himself unable to form a full opinion on the former king.

•The information makes Leroy contemplate his life and reflect on what it truly is that he desires from it. He always put so much time into his work and his little hobbies that he didn’t fully connect with others. He shut himself in, shut others out. Sure, Leroy had a friendly demeanor with those who spoke with him, but there was nothing deeper than a polite acquaintanceship, save for his relationship with Olivia. But that was only because the two of them grew up together.

•Leroy ends up wanting more from life rather than just working alone all the time. So, with the funds he’d saved up over the years, he retires early, decides to throw himself into doing new things, and adopts a nomadic lifestyle, mostly to find himself and connect with others but also partially due to the fact that he was…homeless. His funds run low quickly and not everything he tried stuck with him, but one thing that did was acting.

•Leroy discovered a passion for theatre and ended up joining a small thespian troupe that consisted of frogs, toads, and newts, one of which was Hopediah Plantar. Leroy and Hop Pop end up becoming close friends, with Leroy frequently visiting him.

•With the fact that Leroy was trying out new things, he wanted to learn about gardening and farming. The Plantars (Hop Pop especially) gladly took him under his wing and, soon, Leroy realizes that he also loves tending to the land! He ends up becoming a uncle-like figure of sorts to Sprig and Polly.

•So, Leroy ends up acquiring a few skills under his belt. Artistry, robotics, theatre, farming, gardening…it prompts him to take odd jobs in different communities, with him never staying in one place for too long.

•After a couple of months. Leroy ends up in an agriculture-based town that is similar to Wartwood. With his adequate experience in farming, he is hired by a frog farmer who has a good amount of money and much more land than he and his family can tend to on his own.

•The farmer says something to Leroy that strikes him as odd at first:

”By the way, don’t let the big guy spook ya- he’s just here to make up for destroyin’ last season’s harvest.”

•Leroy shrugs it off and gets to working on the field, but soon finds himself face-to-face with the “big guy” that the farmer mentioned…

•It was none other than Andrias Leviathan.

•Leroy is unsure of what to make of Andrias, but treats him with kindness regardless.

•Initially, the two don’t have much conversation out of a few polite hellos and excuse mes and can you hand me thats. However, a few days later, Andrias and Leroy end up having to take shelter in the farmer family’s barn together due to a severe thunderstorm blowing in.

•Leroy, despite trying to keep a calm composure, ends up having a panic attack due to his fear of storms. Andrias helps him work through it and, from there, strikes up a conversation to keep the smaller newt’s mind off the bad weather. The two end up talking well into the night, laughing together and even disclosing personal information about themselves to one another.

•Their conversation came to an end when Leroy accidentally fell asleep against Andrias’s side. It made Andrias nervous at first, but he soon found himself flattered at the fact that Leroy was comfortable enough around him to doze off. Not wanting to disturb Leroy, Andrias remains still and ends up falling asleep as well.

•Little did they know, this night marked the beginning of a beautiful friendship…or perhaps, something more?

•Leroy starts regularly interacting with Andrias and his attraction to the former ruler is reignited. He intentionally changes his travel route in order for it to coincide with the path Andrias was taking to help restore Amphibia’s environment.

•After a few months of knowing Andrias, Leroy makes a plan to confess his feelings for him but keeps hesitating to go through with it.

•On one seemingly uneventful night, Andrias casually brings up the topic of kill-a-moths, which instantly launched Leroy into excitedly infodumping about them.

•Halfway through his passionate ramble about kill-a-pillars and kill-a-moths, Leroy meets the softened gaze of Andrias and starts to apologize for going on a tangent, only to be cut off by Andrias proclaiming his love for him.

•Leroy confesses that he loves Andrias back and, to the amusement and endearment of Andrias, gives him the speech he prepared that stated his affections for him.

•They become newt boyfriends!! Yay!!!

•The rest of the night is spent talking about kill-a-moths and kill-a-pillars, with Andrias asking Leroy if he knows more facts about them and watching him lovingly as he shot off into one of his exuberant, long-winded lectures.

•Their relationship has its imperfections from time to time, but overall, it is filled with communication, patience, trust, cheesy jokes, and an abundance of affection.

•Andrias initially refused repairs and only wanted to be around for as long as his body would let him with the damage he’d sustained. However, after opening himself up to Leroy and finding love in him, he also found something he’d lost so many years ago- his will to live. Andrias had already lived for over a thousand years, what harm would a few more be? This time, extending his life would be his choice- a choice made out of love and happiness, not guilt and fear.

•As Andrias’s vision worsened, Leroy took measures to help him cope with going blind. One of the things Leroy does to let Andrias know where he is by grabbing his hand and squeezing it twice, which Andrias responds to with a single squeeze.

•After six months of being together, Leroy and Andrias propose to each other while on a picnic.

•Leroy crosses paths with his older brother, Troy, and reconnects with him and their siblings after the four have a long talk together. As it turns out, all of his siblings ended up cutting ties with their parents and even had families of their own. They start making up for lost time and Leroy is thrilled to meet his nieces and nephews.

•BREAKING NEWS: NEWT MARRIAGE!!! Leroy takes Andrias’s last name.

•A month after they got married, Andrias finds an abandoned tadpole on the outskirts of a field he was tending to, left in a bucket of dirty water. He brought the child to Leroy and, after unsuccessful attempts to find his parents, the two decide to adopt him and name him Marcellus.

•Leroy and Andrias conclude that a nomadic lifestyle isn’t the best for raising a child, so they decide to settle down on the outskirts of Wartwood.

•Parenthood proves to be a lot for Leroy and Andrias. The two are afraid of being bad parents to Marcellus due to their pasts, but end up being much better fathers than they imagined. Leroy’s siblings and Hop Pop were there to guide them through parenthood as well.

•Andrias completely loses his sight. He still does whatever he can to tend to Amphibia’s environment despite the dignitaries’ insistence that he no longer needed to do so due to his blindness.

•Leroy and Andrias end up having a farm of their own, which they later pass down to Marcellus, who passes it down to his descendants, and so on.

•Leroy and Andrias spend forty-five long, beautiful, happy years together before passing away. They manage to meet all three of their grandchildren and all eight of their great-grandchildren.

Fun Little Tidbits

•His love language is physical touch, words of affirmation, and gift giving

•Has never broken a bone

•Is a lover of all things related to kill-a-pillars and kill-a-moths; frequently makes art of them and will go on giddy tangents about them if given the opportunity

•His favorite season is autumn

•Is an avid lover of hot tea, bubble tea, coffee, iced coffee, and bugaccinos

•Has issues with focus- sometimes he is easily distracted and can’t concentrate, other times he gets so fixated on something that he’ll forget to eat, drink, or get proper rest

•Terrified of thunderstorms due to a particularly traumatizing incident in his childhood; often likes to be held close by Andrias when the weather gets nasty

•Squeaks, typically when startled- the pitch and intensity of the squeak depends on how alarmed he is (Andrias finds it adorable)

•Has serenaded Andrias multiple times while drunk, much to the former king’s amusement and endearment 

•Favorite musical is Newtsies (Amphibia’s version of Newsies)

Bug Saver Squad Journal

I’ve been going through old boxes of mine and I ran across a little paper notepad stuffed in with a bunch of toy bugs.

Now, a little backstory. As a child, I was super into bugs. Hugely so. So much so that I decided to create a club with my little brother. Our mission was to rescue bugs from harm and help convince other people that bugs were amazing and cool and lovable and they shouldn’t squish them.

Thus, with this in mind, here are the journal entries I have decoded from my childhood scrawlings:

Here begins the journal of the Bug Savers Squad.

12/27/96

Saw a little white mite clearly running on a slug’s body.

12/30/96

Today I found a caterpillar. During winter? I ran for a bug bottle. For now on, I’m carrying a bug bottle whenver I go out, no matter what weather. I think the ‘piller is a buckeye. I’m attempting to feed it snapdragon. Saw a huge daddy-long leg in house. [Older brother] was going to kill it, but I convinced him to put it outside. Lost it in the house, though. The carpet makes long legs almost invisible! Took on my first assignment today. A row of squashed snails! It appeared the snails were all going to this patch of greens. Who killed them, and why? Snails are active at night, and no bike riders ride at night. The house’s people must be smashing the snails to protect their dumb plants! I will go there during the evening and remove all live slugs and snails to prevent any more lives lost. I don’t know how to punish these strangers though. We tried to punch holes in their lawn. I hope that was enough.

1/1/97

Raining well today. Went out worm searching. We saw and took a picture of a worm that appeared to have 4 rattle segments! We also saw a yellow slug with brown spots. We caught a snail that is blue and named it Blue Moon. Found another hammerhead worm (don’t know real name of species) today. That makes (?) more sluggish in rain. It had no hammerhead, but was clearly a hammerhead. Shorter than the last two. Recorded lots of information and let it go.

1/3/97

Tested the bug catcher today on a centipede. It worked! And at the same time we caught a tiny snail shell. 1/6 of an inch or smaller! Saw four bees at our flowers and a couple flies. Real sunny today, as if spring.

1/28/97

Some few monarchs stopped at a park for a while. We looked at them a while. Like to know why they hibernate when they have babies on milkweed.

1/29/2019

Found a neat beetle by our vine today. Caught it. It has a perfect heart on its back. Got pictures. It escaped. Found baby green caterpillars in evergreen tree. Just hatched. One stuck in web. We saved it. Saw stink bug. Our first this spring! Found snail eggs. Saw an egg:

Yellowish. Several already hatched. Must investigate.

Missed stuff: (I assume this note indicates the dates on the next few entries were from previous days and I had forgot to write them down until now)

1/26/97

Saw an earthworm as long as a garden snake and even thicker than one! Put in front lawn. Got worm bin. Will use soon.

1/27/97

Saw a baby grasshopper, ladybug & monarch. It’s like spring! Tonight we saw a baby longleg by the cupboard. Name: Marshmallow.

2/24/97

Saw monarch butterflies. Big pods on trees. Males have dots on back wings, girls don’t. I remember when I saved a stink bug from the swimming pool. Making a newsletter. Made a logo & motto.

2/25/97

Saw big grasshopper! Lots of beetles that are yellow with black triangles are running around. I remember I caught a lovebug. It had a heart on its back! Saw a mud wasp getting mud. Saw a spider web like this:

1: web

2: string leading to hiding spot

3: hiding spot made of silk

Genius spider!

2/26/97

Saved a bunch of baby caterpillars living in evergreens. Saw lots of aphids crossing sidewalk. Saw an aphid this big!

And a final bonus entry from ‘96, including a drawing of our club mascot:

12/19/96

Looked under rocks at neighbor’s yard. BEST spot for bugs. Lots of ant farms, giant milipede, mother & father earwig, & a baby black widow!

This is a repost on a new blog. The original post was on Jul 25, 2019.
