What is a Jellybean Dragon?

A Jellybean Dragon is a fluffy, friendly dragon that hatches from a jellybean-like egg. Their diet consists of fruits and insects, but they also love sweets and desserts. Their fur is soft and long, usually brightly colored, neat, and shiny. Jellybean Dragons are mostly gentle and happy, and love attention. Most are Great Dane-sized when they are fully grown, but some of them can grow as big as a cow. All Jellybean Dragons have pouches on their bellies, which they use to carry around food or younger JBDs.

Dear Dr Berkshire





By Umalia~

Hello there. My name is Vertebrate, and I am seventeen years old and I'm male. My birthday is the 10th March. Yeah, I'm not the prettiest bean but I'm me. My parents called me Vertebrate when I was born, because of my markings. As for my eyes, everyone asks me why they're pink, but to be honest, I don't know, I was born with them.
As you know, I am writing to you to apply for some counselling sessions because I currently have a real problem with distress and it has been causing me some issues in my life.
First, however, I think I should explain a bit more about me.



I was born in the state of North Carolina but I moved to England at the age of five, where I stayed with my parents in London. I went to school their, but I never really made any friends. I was really strange as a child, even now, I still am, so I don't really have many friends even now. I now share a house with a new bean in town called Lotus. Our parents were friends when I was little, so I moved in with her recently, when my parents got sick of me. Well, more, I got sick of them. My parents are awesome, but kind of clingy, so I left. Lotus is a pretty cool house-mate, if a little worry-full, but she's cool. She's the most amazing artist, and I really look up to her. I mean, I draw a little.




By Umalia~


Yeah... I have issues... Personality-wise, I'm quite grumpy, and I have a stinking attitude, according to Lotus and my parents, but whatever, since when have I ever really cared about this, I get so easily irritated. People just don't seem to know where they shouldn't poke their noses, and it is so annoying. Ugh, I just can't deal with people very well, especially annoying ones, like babies and stuff. Again, I have issues. My only soft spot is for Lotus sometimes, and for TV, my favourite shows are Doctor Who and Supernatural. I guess BBCs Merlin is okay. I am really antisocial, I mean, I don't do anything with myself, except annoy Lotus, she's so passive it's hilarious. Though, if anyone messed with her, I would definitely have something to say about it! Despite everything, I do actually care for Lotus. She's like a sister to me. Even if she is the most annoying thing ever sometimes. People are always saying that I'm really rude, and mean, but to be honest, I'm just being me. Despite everything, I am actually quite an emotional person deep down, it does kind of bug me that people hate me so much. I think that maybe if you can help me, I might get better. I don't cry, because my eyes are the way they are, they never seem to tear up properly, they only just seem to produce enough liquid to keep them hydrated! It seems to make people think I am totally emotionless, which makes me react in the way I do, making people not like me. It's like an endless circle.



A few random facts about me, my favourite album is Perfect Symmetry by Keane, my favourite song is the song with the same title as the album, which is incredibly coincidental, as you will see later. My favourite book is Hell's Heroes from the series Demonata by Darren Shan. It's the last book, and it is amazing. Horror books are totally ace! I love them, I will totally read Stephen King when I'm older, but stupid Lotus won't let me read them yet... UGH. She's really annoying sometimes, she hates me watching horror films, even though I'm seventeen. Though when she's out babysitting, I do watch them, a lot. My favourites are Shawn of the Dead and Cabin in the Woods. You can't tell Lotus though, she would kill me! I also have a weird thing for anime, mostly the slightly darker ones, my favourites are Soul Eater, Blue Exorcist, Black Butler and Death Note. Some of the characters remind me of myself in a way. I think it's pretty cool stuff.




By Umalia~


My main hobby comes from Lotus, I draw a lot, but a lot differently to Lotus. Lotus works with oil paints and natural things, I draw manga. I was never amazing at art in school, but that was only because I couldn't be bothered to do anything the teachers and the dumb school wanted me to do, I would never really bother, but when I was by myself, I would design characters and begin to write my own manga and comics and stuff, I used to have so much fun with it. When I was little, I would draw comics, but as I got older, I began to draw proper manga and stuff. I started off, not so good, but in the end, I actually got pretty good. I still randomly write my own stuff, and I would really like to maybe start a webcomic, but I am not fast enough making things, so I can't. My dream is to become a famous manga artist, there is nothing I want more in the world, except some people who actually care for me maybe... But that is my dream career, though I won't ever get there, probably. The publishers will probably hate me, and never publish my stuff. Well, it can't stop me dreaming I guess, as hated as I am, I still have the right to do that. At least, I hope I do anyway... The world has gone to the dogs recently, so to be honest, I don't even know anymore...




By Umalia~


That went off topic, anyway, er... Well... My family background was really quite good, it doesn't have much to do with my current need for your counselling, Doctor. From my parents, I had a very good childhood, parenting wise. My parents were very good to me, but they didn't ever know about my condition. It has only really gotten worse over the years. Well, I guess I should really explain my reason for writing this letter in the first place. I am after counselling because I have very serious OCD. The thing that is distressing me the most, though, is the fact that I can not stand it when things are not symmetrical. I hate it, and whenever something isn't symmetrical, I tend to freak out, a lot. My room is the worst! I have to spend such a long time making sure it is totally symmetrical. It is a total pain because it is pretty large. Lotus' room is so much worse though, my OCD is so bad that I can't even set foot in there. I have been wondering if hypnotherapy or something would work, so I decided that I would write in to try and get myself a counselling session, to see if I could try and get my OCD fixed in some way. Symmetry isn't the only problem I have either. My writing has to be completely and perfectly neat, if it isn't, I have to cross it out and rewrite it. Also, if I take a test, or something, everything about it has to be completely and 100% correct. If something about it is wrong, I have to do it again. It is the same with my spelling. If I spelt one word wrong, or made one single mistake in this letter, for example, I would have to start the entire letter again. It's beginning to affect my life in massive ways. I haven't managed to get myself a solid job yet because of it. It is a serious condition for me, and I really need help with it. {I have already written this letter three times previously...} It is really distressing for me, and shouldn't be affecting me quite in this way, so er.., Yeah





By .holly99.

So, what caused my overly exaggerated form of OCD, well, I can't say for sure exactly, but I have a sort of idea of where it started. When I was younger, there was this one bean who lived near me, a boy. I had no idea what his name was, or who he was, but he had a center parting and deep black hair, completely symmetrical and it just looked so perfect. I looked up to him so much, and I always wanted to be more like him, when he moved out, a few weeks later, I began to organize myself in a crazy manner, everything was just symmetrical, and I have a feeling that this was where it had begun.



It may seem strange, that I am suddenly writing about a problem that I have had all my life. Well, currently I am staying with Lotus, and her owner Burn, but the council of our town don't really think Lotus is capable enough to look after me any longer, because of my condition, and I really don't want that to happen, I love living with Lotus and Burn. Okay, Burn is the worst cook ever, but Lotus is pretty good. Burn is great at looking after Lotus, she cares for her so much, Lotus has already been integrated into the communtiy, even if she hasn't exactly been there very long, she's made loads of friends, and even has a crush on another bean... I won't disclose who of course, that's Lotus' business, but if you accept me for councelling Dr Berkshire, I may let it slip... Hehe... Maybe if I stayed with Burn, she could integrate me into the community, and actually help me make some real friends... Maybe I might even find myself a boyfriend or girlfriend {Yeah I'm bisexual so what}. I would just really like to stay with Burn, so please take me in, I beg you. Wow, reduced to begging now. Ugh.



Thank you very much for taking the time to read this Dr Berkshire, I have enclosed some images and things of myself and some more stuff, I would like it if you were to reply to me as soon as you can, er... Thanks.
From Vertebrate~

I'm your Psychiatrist, Olivionary. Can you tell me a bit about yourself?

Uh, hi. I'm Grose Skellington, but my friends call me Rose, and the Bullies call me Rose from the dead. I am a 15 year old YFS A Jellybean Dragon and am currently suffering from mange, which, uh, seems to be causing alot of distress. It also causes some bullying, which has brought me down so much that my Doctor has, um, diagnosed me with Depression. The mange has caused alot of fur to fall out of the back of my neck, this has caused the bullying - everyone thinks I look like a, um, Zombie. They think that I am dead. I feel as though everyone is prejudice towards me and judge me for being me, I can't change the fact that I am ill and am constantly on medication.

Personality wise? I am the life of the party. I love bounding around and having fun, I guess you could call me hyperactive. I have always been a rambunctious boy and seem to be quite assertive until you stick a bully infront of me, that is when I, uh, literally try to hide. I become the shyest bean in existance when it happens. Otherwise I am very independant, I don't get on well in teams, simply because I become dependant on others. I, uh, love making friends, but I don't seem to make many anymore. I love the friends that I do have, Joby is my best friend, she doesn't judge me like alot of people do, she gets on with it and makes me feel better after a day of bullying. When I have a depressed turn, I always pick myself back up, occassionally with the help of Joby.

Hrm, I have quite a few quirks. Such as how I say, Uh or Hrm alot and groan when asked to do things, which only seems to add to the image of a zombie. Uh... I also am blind, I have no pupil, so I have no actual means of sight. I tend to drag one of my feet when I walk, mostly because I get bad pins and needles in that foot.

So, now I know more about you, can I ask some more questions? Yes? Ok. Are you here about your depression or something else?

No, no, not the depression. I've come to see you about how distressed I have been recently. Yes, I understand that the, uh, mange may be causing some of it, but to be honest I think it's something else. I think it's my fears. I'm scared of, um, blood and gore, ironic huh? With everyone saying that I look dead. Everyone thinks its funny, but not me. Even Joby finds it odd. I honestly don't feel affected by my markings, if anything they're insignificant, it just so happens that I resemble the living dead when I, uh, hate that sort of thing. I know I'm a boy and generally should be interested in it, but no that's a stereotype and that prejudice. So, uh, the pictures people leave on my Locker may be bothering me...

Another reason might be my, uh, irrational fear of my past. I don't understand why I am so afraid of what has happened, but am not afraid of what my future will hold. I, uh, may be a misunderstood bean but I understand the world, I know that it's never fair, I know not everyone will like me, I learnt that at a young when my family left. I'm just scared of how my family treated me. Sure I wasn't by myself, I had a rat for company most nights, I think it's a good thing I like Rodents. I wasn't, uh, scared of the rats, I was scared of being alone, that's what's stressed me out - I hate being locked in cars, I hate being left by myself, could that explain it?

Can you tell me about your past?

Yes, sure. I had a big family. I lived with my parents, uncle, 5 brothers[2 twins and my twin] and 3 sisters[ twins and a single]. We lived in a rather secluded part if town, no one really wanted to live there due to all the stray animals. My siblings never wanted to play with me, I was an outcast. My family had pretty normal markings, nothing like mine. I often ignored my parents warning of Do NOT play with the strays, that was how I got my mange. At first it was just an itchy ear, but it got worse and worse.

By the time my fur fell out my family had basically disowned me. I lived in a cold, damp room, but I was never hurt, I was left to be. I never liked silence. I didn't like the emptyness. Or the loneliness of it. I spent the majority of my time writing and drawing, usually drawings of myself, before and after the mange. I loved reading, especially the books, Rats and World War z. At other times I would train the rats, or atleast try, they were my only company. I didn't get educated appropriately and learnt from my books.

What do you want to do with yourself?

I want to grow up. I want a new home. A home where I won't feel like an outcast. Well, I have been welcomed into Joby's family, kind of. I'm not sure how her mother and brother feel yet, but hopefully they'll come round. I'm going to have a family. I'm going to write stories. I'm going to make art. I'm going to develop and become a confident bean who doesn't have to fear the bullies anymore. I'll be loved.

I'm going to have a place in someone's heart. And have a home.

Would you mind showing me some of those drawings you mentioned? How about some of your writing as well?

Not at all.

I only remember one of my poems.

Drip,
Drip, Drip,
The night is cold,
The floorboards creak,
And the rats, they squeak,
The wind begins to sing,
The darkness caves in,
Drip. Drip. Drip.
My home,
My only home,
Cold and Damp,
But it's still home,
The only real place
That I really know.

As you can tell, I was never very good.
