i am asking you cuz ur the jeremy guy ™ but what would happen to jerejean if they were both ravens???
hello bambam as the jeremy guy ™ i am legally required to tell you i don’t think jerejean would really be a thing if they were both ravens
they would grow to like each other, but it would be much slower going than in canon, for a lot of reasons like the environment and the difference in their respective positions but also because of what i said here and here once: raven jeremy (assuming he joined them after the banquet) would be clawing at the walls with 1. having just slipped his leash, 2. withdrawal (tetsuji wouldn’t accept anything that could potentially compromise his player’s game right), 3. crushing amounts of guilt, 4. having no one in the world who’d care if he lived or died, since he’d either lost or left behind anyone who would. since his primary coping mechanism is escapism, he’d lose himself in exy and so he could possibly come to resent jean and kevin for being known to be better than him even when they weren’t on the team at all (they’d be freshmen during his second year)
when he begins to get a bit of an idea of the actual extent of what they’re going through, this starts to change. raven jeremy wouldn’t be subject to the normal raven brainwashing that all the other ravens were because he’d be a little on the fringe pretty much as soon as he joined because he was a trojan first + the banquet stuff, which most of the non-pc ravens would hold against him. also, kevin would be biased toward him because of exactly that (and jean would have a crush on him), and he would’ve been especially self-destructive when he’d have joined anyway. so basically by being caught in the middle of the other ravens and the perfect court, jeremy would have a pretty unique perspective on everything, and this along with his experience with noah wouldn’t really let him not ask any questions. he’d definitely use his sunshineness as a a weapon and he’d definitely drive jean insane with his questions and he’d definitely incur riko’s wrath for all that but maybe not tetsuji’s
eventually this would let jean take him into his confidence (especially after kevin leaves) and i think i see them developing a sort of codependency involving mutual attraction but more importantly mutual trust and mutual overdependence, and while at the nest they definitely wouldn’t have any room for them actually developing their relationship apart from the bond they already had (because jeremy’s very happy being in situations that are terrible and unhealthy for him but not when they’re bad for someone he loves). and their lives would be a little too closely entwined for a healthy post-tkm relationship to be a possibility (i still see jean going to the trojans, and i think raven jeremy would join the foxes) (i also think raven jeremy kills riko but that’s a story for another time) (also this jeremy ends up with aaron just trust me on this)
