🎸Cool things🎸

Starting off with a weird one (I was genuinely torn over this for a long time), I think that Jerry is the richest member of the club (D&D stuff is mad expensive, even the ‘cheaper’ stuff). Josh is a very close second, though. (Also, what not-rich person has the middle name 'Titus'?? Like, come on.)

His parents are probably big people in idk commerce or something, given they're away pretty often on business trips and the like.

I also think that Jerry is the most well-read member. He's had his nose stuck in large, thick fantasy books since he gained the ability to comprehend words (#my hyperlexic twin). He had nothing else to do most of the time, since his parents were (and still are) always busy, and he had next to no friends before the Eltingville Club.

Jerry’s grades are quite good; his parents make sure of that, but his best subject is most definitely English. The large vocabulary he has gained from reading all of those books really paid off, and his comprehension and ability to deconstruct themes are incredible because he's had to break down whole systems into simple terms.

He has a few bookshelves that are completely stacked with books, manuals (some of which he has written himself) with rules and explanations, and a few journals with story lines, character sheets, and world building for the club's roleplays that he updates frequently.

To Jerry, being the club's dungeon master is like a full-time job. You should see the sheer amount of effort he puts into it, how much money he spends at the copy shop printing off character sheets, and the sheer amount of hours spent awake trying to figure out the next big twist or villain his friends might face.

Before you ask, yes, Jerry does voice-act everything. And I mean everything (except the women characters. He feels that would be weird, especially if they’re supposed to be hot or romanceable.)

His vocal range is… okay. He's not Frank Welker or anything remotely similar, but you can tell the different characters apart most of the time. He thinks he does a very good villain voice, and the monologues and evil laughs are some of his favourite things to do. His narrator voice is just his regular, nasally timbre, although with a more dramatic edge (he wants to sound cool so bad, wouldn't have it any other way).

This is another weird one, but I like to think that Jerry sneak-disses his friends in the characters’ dialogue (especially if he's annoyed or mad with them). He makes the villains call them names or insult their appearances. Nobody really catches on, but Jerry knows what he's doing. He thinks it's really funny.

Jerry rarely plays the actual game of D&D himself; he prefers to be the dungeon master because he likes having control over the narrative and characters that he created.

However, there has been the odd oneshot where he let someone else be the dungeon master for once (I can't decide whether it would be Josh or Pete, but I'm leaning more towards Josh because it's more realistic, but Pete would be pretty funny, I think. Bill is banned from being dungeon master, sorry.)

When Jerry isn't the dungeon master, he usually roleplays as a wizard or some other kind of magical being (usually an elf).

He loves magic systems. He spends a lot of time planning and figuring out the spells and applications of magic in his worlds, fleshing them out with sometimes a little too much information.

As much as Josh hates to acknowledge it, Jerry is the writer of the group. And the illustrator, and the narrator.

Jerry has written a decent portion of their letters to companies (all under assumed names, of course), and sometimes helps the other members with theirs.

BUT! I do also think that Josh and Jerry collaborate on plots sometimes. If Jerry is super stuck on something (like a transition or side character), his first instinct (well, actually his second instinct, he usually goes on the internet first, but he would never tell Josh that) is to call up Josh and talk it through with him.

Josh has actually contributed to a lot of Jerry's world-building. They figure out the technology and government systems of the world together.

Okay, I'm being weird again (but all of them are weird AF, so it doesn't matter), but Jerry may or may not base some of his female characters off of girls he finds pretty from school or from around town. He only really copies their appearances, not their personality or anything (because he doesn't interact with them/know them personally), but still, it's kind of obvious sometimes.

Jerry usually gets Pete's opinion on these female characters. He shows him the character sheet of one and is like, ‘Do you think she's hot?’ and Pete's like, ‘Yes.’

This is because he finds Pete's taste in women to be the most ‘normal’ (in comparison to whatever Josh and Bill are into anyway).

Jerry does not involve Bill in his creative process whatsoever. Bill constantly tries to change what Jerry has planned; he calls it stupid or unfair (usually both) and is just an outright dick about the whole thing. At least Josh lays off when Jerry tells him that the thing he suggested won't work; Bill just keeps pushing it.

Anyway, moving on from Bill's radioactive negativity, Jerry also enjoys drawing from time to time. He usually just draws world maps, diagrams, and character icons, but they're all actually pretty decent.

100% the type of person to draw or write stuff while in class. He has his school notebook on one side and his personal one on the other, and goes between them.

Jerry got a lot of his other interests from his friends. A lot of the shows he likes to watch (Star Trek, The Twilight Zone, etc) were recommended by other members.

Throwing Joe in here because why not, but I think Joe likes Jerry the best out of all of the members. Well, he doesn't like him; he just finds him the least annoying (and the easiest to rip off).

Has Joe charged Jerry a ‘slightly’ higher price for something because he knows that Jerry is too anxious and awkward to argue or haggle with him? Yeah. Of course he has.

Because of this, Jerry often makes stuff for D&D himself. He often makes little figurines out of clay and paints them. Some of these have gotten broken during the club's various arguments, so they look a little bit… wonky (Jerry tried to glue them back together and fix them).

I think that Pete and Jerry work on their models for stuff together. Pete works on his resin kits, while Jerry moulds his newest wizard or shopkeeper.

Out of all of the members, Jerry is the most friendly with Pete. They hang out by themselves pretty often, they go to movies that Bill and Josh don't want to see, play video games together, and do other stuff like that.

Jerry's ‘beedee beedee beedee’ vocal tic comes from Twiki from Buck Squad; everyone knows that. But the reason why he has it is that he kind of relates to Twiki in a way.

Jerry has felt inhuman for a significant portion of his life, being ignored and bullied at school does that to a person, and the fact that Twiki is cared for and beloved by the cast and fans, despite him being a robot, makes Jerry feel like he's not a complete weirdo and that he deserves at least a little bit of grace for his quirks.

He relates to the fact that Twiki does a lot of labour, while Jerry's labour isn't really physical; he feels like a lot of his efforts are underappreciated or even ignored by the group. He wishes that they would acknowledge his efforts more, give him constructive criticism on his stories, or even some praise.

He also says the ‘beedee beedee beedee’ line just to be funny or lighten the mood. In fact, that's what it started as, a joke! He just said it so often it became a part of his vernacular, where it has stayed ever since.

The line just gives him a great sense of comfort in general. It's like a self-soothing mechanism, he says it when experiencing strong emotions (both good and bad, but usually bad) because it brings his mind back to Twiki, and thinking about characters and stuff he likes calms him down (or in more positive situations, makes him even happier or more excited). (Literally me).
