Jeremy

Jeremy Barron, affectionately known as "Jbear" (a nickname he insists upon), is like your grandma's fancy silverware—reserved for special occasions, not for its monetary value, but because it's simply... special. While he hasn’t been abducted by aliens or retreated to live as a mountain hermit (yet—both feel oddly plausible), we only roll out the full Jbear experience during the most extraordinary moments. Why, you ask? Because his daily dose of sarcasm and razor-sharp wit might just be too much greatness for us mere mortals to handle.

Likes: Will calling him Jbear his whole life.
