Pizza Rolls Royce (Eltingville Club Animation)

Evan has my animation on his acc woah

I think Jerry's the kind of person who has a hard time stopping himself from clinging to the past. It’s why he somehow even reminisces about all the awful things that went down with the Club. He still focuses on how they used to be before things started getting toxic. It’s hard for him to see things for what they actually and not the idealized version he desperately wants it to be.

Jerry might’ve finally left the Club behind after the Epilogue, but I think he would still miss them even if he isn’t going back this time. I think it would still be really hard for him to let go emotionally, and it would take years to accept that everything that happened wasn’t okay.

I think that letting go of Bill would be really hard for him despite finding someone better who doesn’t treat him poorly. It’s not that Jerry doesn’t care about Mandi, it’s just that Bill conditioned Jerry to prioritize him over everything else. It’s why I think Jerry left Mandi in the riot to go save Bill first, regardless of how Bill treated him. Jerry responding that way even after years of having no contact with Bill is honestly realistic. The fact that it still affects Jerry just shows how severe the abuse that Bill subjected him to was.

I also think Mandi would be really upset with Jerry for leaving her and choosing to save Bill. She does understand why Jerry reacted that way, since it isn’t always easy for of victims to just leave their abusers. She’s still hurt that Jerry did that though, and I think it would take a while for her to forgive him even if she’s still trying to give him the support he needs.
