Nothing Is the Same Anymore: In the chapter of the same name, Jermaine believes this about his own life because of the effects that his psych ward evaluation and subsequent diagnoses of depression (and later autism) had on him and his family.

Shout-Out
 Choosing Death / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: Several. Jermaine is/was obsessed with Danny Phantom, which is what kickstarted his above-mentioned love of ghosts and desire to be a paranormal/supernatural investigator in the first place. Jermaine's view of Heaven is heavily influenced by Looney Tunes, Tom and Jerry, and All Dogs Go to Heaven. Jermaine's view of Limbo/Purgatory is influenced by Pokémon, the above-mentioned Danny Phantom, and Being Human (US). During his stay at a mental hospital in "Nothing is the Same Anymore," one of the things Ayla brought Jermaine was a Scooby-Doo plushie.
