Jeremy Frost

Jeremy Frost is a Freezelandian-Shopper king penguin who claims to be a scrub despite his love of orange juice in order to win over the scrubs to somehow get praise in the Penstubal Post. As an avid disliker of all things and penguins labelled as bad in the Penstubal Post (or so he claims), he routinely speaks out against Shopper Vice President Chill in public places in his home city of Hilnit, Northern Shops. Jeremy also runs an online blog in which he echoes Penstubal Post articles, often also giving commentary on what has been reported and said. This has led to Frost becoming a well known figure in the local area, where many residents of Hilnit know him as the local scrub, while the local scrubs look up to him as a hero of the Northern Shopper scrubs. Only a few snoopy penguins have discovered Jeremy’s secret, and, as much as they try to tell the scrubs, they refuse to believe this fact.

Hatched to a king penguin family in Fanon City, Freezeland in 2000, Jeremy Frost became aware of the hatred towards orange juice held by Freezeland’s population, due to its associations with Khanzem. Although living in Fanon city, which is mostly inhabited by lesser penguins, orange juice was still banned in the city. However, in his younger years, Jeremy would drink illegally smuggled in orange juice, and would grow a dislike of the Freezelandian government and its policies. In 2011, Frost would leave Freezeland for Shops Island, where he was able to freely drink his favorite beverage. However, his time on the island would get shaky, and in 2014 Jeremy moved to Hilnit, Northern Shops, where he still lives today. In 2018, Frost read an issue of the Penstubal Post, and decided he wanted to be featured. In order to achieve this, Frost hid his love of orange juice, and routinely made a fool of himself by promoting the newspaper’s views in public.

Early Years
Jeremy Frost hatched on April 18 2000, in Fanon City, Freezeland, to his parents Chad and Charity Frost. When he was a chick, his parents gave him orange juice that they had bought off the black market. This would lead to his love of the drink that still goes on to this day. He attended a local public school when he was a chick where he was taught Freezeland’s history, including the Khanzem War and the enslavement of high penguins. Frost asked his history teacher why orange juice was still hated despite the fact that the war ended nearly ninety years ago. The response he got was not clear to him, and he would continue to enjoy orange juice. Jeremy also enjoyed maths when he was at school, and was put in the top set for it. After graduating school, Jeremy Frost went on to study mathematics at Fanon City University. After receiving his diploma, Jeremy considered continuing at university and studying for a masters degree when he heard about the creation of a new country: Shops Island. After preparing for the big move and acquiring Shopper citizenship, he would move to Shops Island.

Shops Island
Jeremy Frost arrived in Shops Island in 2011. After working in a fast food restaurant for six months while he was settling into the country, Jeremy got a job as a programmer for a military contractor based in Shops City. As he was in Shops Island, a country where orange juice is not banned, he was able to freely and openly drink orange juice, whereas before he was forced to purchase in secret down dark alleyways. In an orange juice bar, Jeremy met some new friends, named Carson, Nancy, and Chris. The four penguins frequently hung around and attended events together for the next three years until one fateful day in 2014 when Chris found out about Jeremy’s orange juice antics in Freezeland. Jeremy, Carson, and Nancy told him that it was not a big deal and that Jeremy had moved on from this. Unfortunately, Chris was not the penguin to hang out with law breakers no matter how long ago they broke the law, or how ridiculous the law is. This led Chris to cut ties with the other three penguins. Around this time, Jeremy was laid off from the company he was working at as they were cutting staff. These changes prompted him to relocate again. This time it would be to Northern Shops.

Yow
Jeremy Frost moved into Northern Shops in late 2014. It was there and then when he decided to rebrand his reputation. At first he tried to act normal, he drank his favorite drink, orange juice, and got a new programming job in Hilnit. Things were very normal for Jeremy for the next four years, until one day in 2018 when he was browsing the internet. He was looking through obscure news websites when one caught his eye. It was the Penstubal Post. Intrigued, Jeremy read through the newspaper’s articles, and began to wonder what would happen if he was featured by the newspaper, despite being a big fan of orange juice. Jeremy decided to find out. He began an online blog called Jeremy’s Scrub Talk, in which he would give his commentary on Penstubal Post articles from a scrubby perspective. His blog began to gain traction, but it was not enough for the Penstubal Post to feature. So, Jeremy decided to become even more outspoken. He went outside to a public space in Hilnit and began to preach scrubby views. This led to bystanders booing and throwing rotten tomatoes at him. However, a few scrubs listened. To this day, one can still see Jeremy preaching in the street, surrounded by scrubs, while a crowd of normal penguins boo and chuck things at him.

Future
In the year 2025, Jeremy was in Wizzint, Moon Island, attending a scrub convention. He had brought a suitcase full of orange juice that he had intended to drink in secret, away from the eyes of his fans. The the first day of the convention was a success for Jeremy, he had given three talks on various topics, one ironically being on the evils of orange juice. The night after the first day, Jeremy left his hotel room and walked through the streets of Wizzint, looking for a place to satisfy his orange juice addiction in private. He had found a quite street, and opened up his suitcase and took out a box of the orange citric acid. He was taking a swig when he saw a penguin walking down the street. To Jeremy's shock, it was Penstubal himself, walking home from the Penstubal Post. Penstubal recognised that Jeremy was wearing an orange T-shirt with a yellow star that he got from the scrub convention so he immediately knew that Jeremy was a scrub. However, Penstubal was not upset at one of his followers drinking the concoction believed by him and them to be the drink of intolerance and hate, instead, Penstubal believed that the reason Jeremy was consuming the orange juice was because he was trying to get an idea of what it is like to be a melonhead. Penstubal though that perhaps Jeremy wanted to understand the behaviour of his imagined enemies in order to inside their circles and maybe even take them down. Penstubal told Jeremy that he would write about him in the Penstubal Post. Jeremy was thrilled! For the last seven years this had been his dream, and now it was finally being realised! Jeremy was so excited by this that he could not sleep that night. The next day, he went to the local convenience store to pick up a copy of that day's issue of the Penstubal Post. After spending the next thirty minutes looking for an article about himself, Jeremy realised that all he got was two sentences. They read: "Northern Shops Man drinks orange juice despite being a scrub to understand melonhead behaviour. This could be key to taking down melonhead circles from the inside!" Jeremy was shocked and disappointed by this. Just when he thought he had achieved his life's goal, all he got was just a footnote, not an entire article. After that, Jeremy's blog went silent. Nothing went onto it for the next eight years, until Jeremy announced he would be closing it forever.

Involvement
Jeremy Frost is known for his online blog where he goes to great lengths to prove that he is indeed a scrub. His blog posts commonly feature a link to a Penstubal Post article, followed by his commentary on it. This has garnered the attention of many scrubs, and has attracted a cult following among them. Unfortunately, Jeremy only wishes to interact with scrubs on his blog’s website, and this has led many outsiders to claim that he is in an echo chamber. Indeed, many readers of Jeremy’s blog also seem to be in an echo chamber, and some outsiders point out that they seem to be even more scrubby than before they started to read Jeremy’s blog. Naturally, the blog has received a lot of trolling from internet tolls who seek out to make fun of Jeremy for seemingly blindly following the Penstubal Post. Other more curious penguins have looked through the images he had posted on the blog and found that glasses of orange juice can be clearly seen in the background of almost all of them. It was this that ultimately led to the discovery that Jeremy is not a scrub, but in fact a poser looking for attention.

Jeremy is also famous in Hilnit for his public preaching of scrubby values. Sometimes he echoes what he has said in his blog, and other times he will say something completely new. Local scrubs in the area treat this as an event that they attend regularly and can often be found standing or sitting around Jeremy while he preaches. This often attracts other locals who are less than happy to know that Jeremy is preaching scrubbery in their city. For this reason, Jeremy’s speeches are often interrupted by booing or something, normally a rotten tomato, being thrown at him. Despite the interruptions, Jeremy still goes on talking about things such as why Kermit is a Neo-Naughtzee or how the Illuminati is controlling Antarctica. This has made Jeremy one of, if not the, most hated penguins in Hilnit. The few scrubs living in the city defend him to the death however, as they see him as some kind of hero for the scrubs of Hilnit, unaware of Jermy’s true motives.

Reactions
Naturally, Jeremy Frost’s online blog is subject to trolling and harassment, not just from melonheads, but also from penguins who find joy in trolling penguins like Jeremy. Some penguins have tried to dox Jeremy, which has led to the discovery of his love of orange juice. There is, after all, a reason for those random orange juice glasses that can be seen in the background of his photographs. After this was discovered, a few niche media outlets picked up on the matter and labelled him as an “attention seeking faux scrub”. This angered Jeremy, who posted on his blog after hearing about his media coverage that he detests the “anti high penguin Khanzem drink”. This ultimately led to more trolling at Jeremy’s expense. Jeremy’s public speeches have also gained controversy. The City of Hilnit has warned Jeremy that his speeches were causing overcrowding in the streets, as well as some violence. Most Hilnit residents are unhappy with Jeremy’s public speaking, however the local scrubs support it. In 2020 a Hilnit based scrub organisation raised money to pay for a stage in a public park (disregarding the fact that the park is city property) for Jeremy to speak from. Unfortunately for him, this has caused normal penguins to lurk around the stage waiting for him to come and make a speech so they can ambush him. Occasionally they may also vandalise and steal parts of the stage.
