my stupid, messy, and long-winded thoughts on jake having a crush on drew

to get it out of the way LOL: CANONICALLY, jake doesn't have a crush on drew. obviously. BUT this is just me taking how jake acts and trying to answer the question "but what if he did haha" bc im delusional like that. that's also why this essay is a lot more casual than my other ones (not much shorter tho, SORRY ABT THAT). probably won't talk abt canon events as much (other than the drakeup), but still lmao

ME, PERSONALLY, i think that jake would develop a crush on drew probably around freshman year-ish. bc, as ive said before, drew was the first person to want to be jake's friend. im sure it meant a lot to jake, especially bc we can assume that it was drew who talked to/approached jake first!!

(and lol, if jake started crushing on daisy bc she was the first person encourage him in middle school, itd only be natural for him to develop a crush on drew after he defended him from bullies, bought him things, and in general was his first close friend???? jk LMAO, but the point still stands)

i think the way jake would go about his feelings... he simply wouldn't do anything about them... besides hide them away and act like they were never there. but then again, that shit wouldn't work out, bc those feelings are so engrained in him.

bc jake really cares about what drew thinks, which is why he kept quiet about his past and his passion. and the crush would definitely be a part of that. like it's smth jake would view as "bad", and he would think that it's just an additional reason for drew to drop him. that's why, i think, he'd never purposely act on his feelings or anything. maybe the occasional gay thing will slip out of his mouth when drew's not around to hear it, but nothing actually intentional?

anyway. sing along if you know the words!!! JAKE LIED TO DREW IN AN ATTEMPT TO KEEP HIM!!! 🎉🎉

jake hid his passion for music and his crush from drew so they would be able to stay friends. bc, to him, it was the only way that drew would ever "like him back", even if it wasn't romantically. (he's wrong ofc, bc drew has a massive boycrush on him. but jake doesn't know that)

basically, all of that basically means that the one thing jake didn't want is for drew to call him a freak/for drew to leave. it just sucks i guess, bc everything jake did to make that not happen... became the exact reasons why it did happen.

and if we're gonna talk abt canon some more... i think this crush would add to jakes internal conflict throughout the series. like yeah. jakes got the club and he can be his full self with them, but since drew is his first friend (who he developed feelings for!!!), he finds it hard to let him go. which is why he sort of tries to defend/excuse the jomies, up until ep7 ("they're still my friends ... they're not like that all the time.")

TL;DR??? imagine my last jake-centric essay but 5x worse 👍 sorry this is so scatterbrained LMAO i just. have a lot of thoughts abt jake-centric drake, if u couldn't tell

#bro idek #like this is genuinely the messiest thing i've ever written #like there's a lot to say and im not sure how to say any of it #so if idk. if u understand this ur a real one #but feel free to ask abt anything #the music freaks #drake tmf

WAUGH I wish I got inbox notifs on mobile >:( anywho i WILL answer them all original ask game here

4 - Ever made your own chumhandle?

pistachioPigeon didn't start as one (it was a... Voltron reference...) but it's morphed into my own! I like it, it's comfy

14 - Least favorite Alpha kid?

I hate to say that- while I adore her so much- I don't think about Jane as often as I do the others. Her narrative is super good still, and she's still very high on my list of favorite characters, but she doesn't occupy my mind as much.

18 - Favorite Beta troll?

I'm NOT a Vriska apologist i SWEAR i just like her she's 13 your honor. I don't even have an explanation I just like her story a lot. it's that or kanaya (obvious virgo who latched onto her when he was like 12 because same star sign)

21 - Least favorite Beta troll?

... gamzee. I just, I think he's fine in story, but just the cumulation of the Gamzee-ness makes my brain fizz over him. again like with jane he's fine and i love him but just. not as much as the other trolls

25 - Favorite Alternian ancestor?

The Dolorosa <3.. i'm still a virgo fan at heart but it's more than that, she's just the catalyst for everything- if she hadn't rescued the signless as a grub, if she hadn't raised him as alternia's first mother like... alternia wouldn't be the same. her fury over her son like HOO

33 - Favorite pale ship?

davejade. this is 100% influenced by the best friends amv but i don't care they should be friends and supportive!! they're super good friends before-game and they don't necessarily need a romance!!

34 - Favorite pitch ship?

erisol, going off of pesterquest- if they had a normal life without sburb maybe they would have turned out normal. OR egbert/davesprite if you want to go with the less popular favorite. they couldve made it work if they had any concept of kismesis

35 - Favorite flushed ship?

i'm not going to say the obvious answer (it's dirkjake) but-- yeah it's dirkjake. i dont think they're the best for each other but they're also perfect for each other. but they hate each other and are madly in love. but they're meant to break each other and meant to hold each other together. but theyre meant to be belittled and yet inspired by each other. maybe this is more vacillating in my mind but whatever they were written for each other

36 - Favorite ashen ship?

i don't think i have one particularly- i haven't thought about ashen ships a lot. i do looove love kanaya as an auspistice but she stresses herself out so much over it and auaughgh!!!

38 - OTP?

dirkjake OR pitch john/davesprite. peepsicola <3

40 - BROTP?

dirk and roxy best friends for life do NOT take this away from me

41 - Character you’d choose to be your moirail?

jake, so i could be his moirail back, because he needs it and !! augh. and i think he'd be a good friend who'd listen

42 - Character you’d choose to be your kismesis?

all of them would kill me no jk but in seriousness- if i could even be a match i would throw hands love vriska. if i could survive and also not be mlm i'd choose her. except she'd take it too far and still kill me anyways but oh well it's a death i'll accept

or. hear me out. hal. i think it'd be funny and i'd survive AND he'd just bully me all the time. it'd be so fun. i'd love to trade blows with him he'd call me an idiot in 500 words

43 - Character you’d choose to be your matesprit?

clenching my fist at this because i don't know. i love roxy a lot though in terms of if i had to choose someone. i could love them easily and i'd hope they could love me back if they'd choose, and i feel like our love languages would sync up well

49 - One character you didn’t like at first, but like now?

NOT to say her again but vriska. i used to be really bad at tying characters to narrative, so i saw vriska as a person first and just hated her for what she did. i've wrapped hard around now that i've matured. same with davesprite i feel- i used to not care about the sprites but i love him so much im a davesprite apologist no shame

50 - One character you liked at first, but don’t like now?

i don't have any that really fits this criteria i think other than the fact that i used to really enjoy the dancestors- and now im just... i don't care for them particularly. they're. they're just, you know. you know, right

53 - Alpha kids or Beta kids?

alpha kids i think- they're going through it and butting heads with their best friends in the universe and their story is a lot more relationship driven. i love the beta kids to the moon and back too of course but the love underlying all the frustration the alpha kids face drives me

65 - Have you read the Epilogues? Do you like them?

unfortunately, yes to both. it's definitely a slog of a read and i don't enjoy them 100%, especially since it utterly butchers so many characters and cuts down completed arcs, but i enjoy a lot of the concepts it brings to the table.

68 - Classpect you identify with currently?

knight of void! at the very least, knight of some kind- someone told me knight of mind and i sort of see it?

84 - Favorite Homestuck flash?

prince of heart: rise up OR unite synchronize. i can watch both of those on repeat so much

99 - One unpopular HS opinion you have?

it's probably not too unpopular, but homestuck to me is kind of a very adult media. as in, i will refuse to tell minors to read it. i'll tell people in majority to read it if they know what they're getting into, but, seriously. discussing it with minors- while not really preventable unless i seek out adult only spaces- it makes me feel kind of wary? i saw a discord with the ratio of minors to adults at 3:2 in favor of minors and i was suuuper uncomfortable with that.

also i love hs2 </3 i love yiffy and the new kids and whatever the fuck dirk has going on why did he make himself JACKED it's so fucking funnyyy. except yknow the fact that they ruined his relationship with gender in the epilogues but whatever--

100 - One popular HS opinion you agree with?

i couldn't think of an answer but the boyfriend said snakebite piercings dirk and they're right

Chapter 2: Caution, Gators can eat humans.

Synopsis: The wishes for a new mystery after the sudden decrease in Seoul sends the teen mystery group to a town nearby. It’s own name justifies itself, and let’s just say: things don’t get pretty when JK (the anonymous caller) sends them on a chase.

Series Masterlist

------------------------------------------------------

Absent-mindedly, the man continued to drive his SUV through the bumpy roads of Gatorsville, a small town just miles away from Seoul.

"We need to pull up for gas." The father made his way to the abandoned gas station, allowing his daughter to walk for a bit with the puppy.

The small puppy ran off into the bushes; the girl followed suit and called its name.

When she managed to reach her hand in, it met a pair of red fiery eyes back at her. Shocked, she jumped backwards and cried for help.

"Dad! It's a monster!" In disbelief, the man refused to believe her, but met the same sketched black-green lizard pattern with glowing eyes.

He didn't manage to say much, but got himself into the car and drove off in a hurry leaving whatever the creature was back in the dark.

------

"I'm bored.." Sunoo plopped backwards and landed on top of poor Sunghoon who was resting comfortably on the floor.

"What's up with Seoul, there hasn't been a mystery!" Jungwon soon joined Sunoo, crushing Sunghoon as well, making him cry out.

"Yo Jake, help me!" Jake helped the boy, picking him up and throwing him on the couch with you.

"Heeseung what's this?" You picked the magazine that was crumpled between the two couch cushions; part of you wished you had left it once seeing the front cover.

"It's a trap illustrated! Where do you think I got the inspo for this beauty." He flaunted the cords hung onto the metal crates.

"And who exactly do you expect to catch?"

Right on time, the delivery man got himself hung onto the trap set on the front, simply handing him the package once Heeseung managed to open the door and let him free.

"It's a package."

A loud thunder banged against the windows, letting the rain and its friends make itself present in the home. With caution, he opened it revealing an object covered by tissue and an envelope stamped in red with [JK]

"I swear JK gives me the creeps." The group opened the rest of its contents and found a gator skinned bag in the box.

"Maybe a trip to Gatorsville wouldn't hurt. Safe travels."

"This doesn't make sense. I thought Gatorsville didn't make skin products anymore." Jake observed the purse, handling each nook and cranny with care.

"Gatorsville? Like as in actual Gators?" Sunoo tried setting himself apart, clearly intimidated by the idea of gators.

"150 years ago, miners had moved to Gatorsville in search of oil and gold. Instead, they found the abundance of gators in the area, and mounted businesses on the farms which made them rich. They sold products everywhere, but when there were no more gators, everyone moved out. It's practically a ghost town."

"Then I'm assuming we have a new mystery?" Heeseung smiled and led the way out the door, at least before all six of you found yourselves captured in the same trap as the delivery man.

------

"Let's look around." They split into their usual teams, and trailed off.

"So, Jake, how do you like it so far?" You realized you hadn't learned much about the boy besides his past in Australia and his cute dog that visited occasionally.

"To be honest, it was really boring before Sunghoon invited me to come along. I'm glad I've got people who make life interesting." His small eye smile reassured you and you kept exploring the area.

From afar, Jungwon, Heeseung, and Sunoo found no hope of a mystery and made their way back to the remaining three of you.

"I guess JK sent us on a wild goose chase. Let's head back before it's too late." You gladly hopped back into the van and when Heeseung turned his key, the car wouldn't start. He trudged back and opened the car to see his engine had gone missing.

"Uhh...guys!" Sunghoon walked out, first witnessing the same event.

"H-how is it possible?" The six teens huddled around the missing spot, and turned around with a blinding light flashed forward.

"What do you exactly think you're doing!?" A man in his late 50's stepped out of the tow truck, and his eyebags and cuts on his upper eyebrow clearly signaled he wasn't here to talk much.

"Our engine is missing, think you can help?"

"And why should I?" He punched his knuckles and caused Jungwon to step backwards with Sunoo.

"Cause you're a mechanic?"

"Right. Well you're going to have to wait until tomorrow morning anyway-I have to wait for Seoul to come deliver a new one."

As the teens tried to call their parents, they received no response. They were either busy or didn’t care, clearly comforting the goofy timeline of teen chaos and drama.

"Just call Jay, maybe he can come." Hesitant, you dialed his number and received no response.

"He probably fell asleep. We're gonna have to stay the night." A neon sign was perfectly hung on the side of a building.

[GATOR INN]

"Hello, anyone there?" You clung onto Jake who just like you, preferred to lurk in the background while Heeseung and Jungwon took the lead.

"What do you want!?" A woman appeared from the dark shadows of the motel stairs, letting her fingers trail against the handrail.

“A room?”

“We’re all booked.” The woman sat on the closest tool: filing her nails without bothering to look at the teens in their eyes.

“But your sign says vacancy.” Sunghoon pointed to the sign from before, the clear letters stating VACANCY.

“Alright, follow me. I have a few rules, the girly over there gets her own room. The five of you that remain can split into two rooms.”

“Wait, no. Jungwon-he’s my brother; we can share a room.” You gave a slight signal to Jungwon to play along with the game, and the woman simply handed you the keys and walked back.

Her bright red hair decorated in pink bows peaked from behind her, but disappeared almost immediately once she turned her head forwards to face you.

“One more thing, if you hear biting, screams, loud shrieks: ignore and enjoy your day.” Her loud hairstyle finally left the hall, and you entered the old furnished room with Jungwon.

“It’s clear this hasn’t been cleaned in months.” You dropped your bag on the bed, and accompanied the bag to find a comfortable spot to rest.

------

“I wonder why y/n would lie to the woman about Jungwon being her brother.” Jake sat on the nearby chair, pushing the cushion downward.

“He’s scared to sleep alone; and he’s basically her child.”

“I’m not sleepy.”

“Neither am I. Why don’t we head out and explore if there’s anything worthwhile in the Motel.” They grabbed their jackets and exited the room, finding Jungwon and y/n heading out as well.

The four bodies met at the center of the hall, confused, but not surprised by their need to exit the walls of the motel guest room.

“Clearly, smart minds think alike.” You scoffed at his statement and led the way out the lobby. There wasn’t much to see clearly. The van was parked on the curb, the sky was dark and covered in a blanket of fog; everything appeared in order.

The comfortable silence was quickly disturbed by subtle movements in the bushes.

“I-i think something is there.” Jake reached out to move the branches and get a clear image, but a creature jumped out causing them to fall on their backs.

“G-gator people!” Sunghoon picked up Jungwon, while Jake helped you up and led you away from the monster that was currently chasing you. You quickly made your way up the flights of stairs: pushing through the other flights that followed to your bedrooms.

The creature continued; its sharp claws gauging at the walls and leaving a claw nail stuck in the paintings that were nicely hung. Without hesitation, the four of you barged into Heeseung and Sunoo’s room.

“What are you guys doing here?” Sunoo barely bothered to look up from his screen when he witnessed the same creature enter the room, crushing the door that was once attached.

“Gator people?” In fear, all of you clung onto the windows from the edge. Your foots collected on top of a single mattress, throwing the closest objects towards the creature.

The room quickly went black. A red glow emerged from the corners from the room allowing the two gators to creep under the floorboards and take a hold of your right leg pulling it downward.

Your body slipped from the thin lifting of the window balcony, and soon enough it was being dragged from under the five boys, leaving you to scream.

Jake and Heeseung plunged forwards, each taking a hold of one of your arms to prevent the gators from dragging your body any further. Sunghoon took the liberty of stomping on the arms of the gators, making them retreat backwards. They slipped on their own tails and fell downward through the same hole they had crept through. You made your way up and looked at the gator skin dangling from your ankle. A white stuffing peeked through the thin fabric; the monster clearly wasn’t real.

“It isn’t real?” Before Sunoo could continue with his pondering thoughts, the two gators once more crawled from below and sank their claws into the boards. The six teens ran out the door and out of the motel.

‘COME BACK TO VISIT’ The tacky green sign hung on the side, and was the last part of their vision before securely making their way out of the Gatorsville. They turned their heads back to the issue, and saw as the gators came to an abrupt stop once they had exited the town. Slippery, and cautious, the duo hid once more and retreated back.

“That was close.”

“We have to go back, come on!” Jungwon, almost-excited like, pushed his older companions to the inners of town once more. They slyly hid in the trees until they found the two gators pushing large crates into a ship; one crate after another went inside.

“Here.” Heeseung managed to bust the crate open, revealing packs of gator skinned products. Each marked with the same tag from earlier, ‘100% gator.’

Sunoo rolled up one of his sleeves and picked a belt from within the crate, and without thought, he wrapped the skin around his own. After some moments, he released the belt from his grasp and let it fall to the ground with a small clank following afterward.

“It’s fake, just look at my skin!” Sunghoon and Jungwon inspected him and found a pink rashing forming on his pale flesh. Sunoo was known for his skin sensitivity, and everyone knew that any fake animal product would send the boy into itches and scratches.

“The only thing we have here folks is a bunch of con-artists.” Heeseung sighs and makes his way to set up another one of his elaborate traps.

------

“Jake, now!” Jake quickly shot the arrow to the target, and it lunged to release the two boxes hanging by cords on the top side of the building.

The gators made their efforts to leave, but quickly were captured by the teen’s proud ploy.

“Got them!” Jake once more looked at the boxes with curiorsity, helping Sunghoon push it back towards the Motel entrance.

“Chief Kim.” The police man trudged through Gator Inn and found the huddled teens around two gator people caught in ropes.

“What is the meaning of this?”

“This Chief Kim is…” Heeseung pulled back the mask which revealed the owner of the motel inn and the scornful mechanic.

“What!?”

“That’s right. This is our home and when everyone left, we couldn’t just go. This is our home. So we started making cheap products to earn some money. We used the costumes to scare off yee visitors and get them away from our business. And we would have gotten away with it, if it wasn’t for you meddling tourists!”

Chief Kim quickly gave a nod which sent the gators to get sent to the back of his police car. They didn’t bother asking more questions and were about to drive off when Sunghoon rushed behind them.

“Wait! We need a ride!”

Almost on cue, the engine of their van made a growl, and the front lights illuminated their bodies. “Is it haunted?” Jungwon approached it carefully, and lifted the hood of the car; the engine was back in its place and now accompanied with a note hanging from the top.

“I hope you enjoyed your visit, but remember there is more to come. This is only the beginning of the puzzle. JK” The signature red stamp with bold letters JK glistened under the moonlight.

“More? I swear, this just keeps getting more creepy.” The six were left with nothing but to make their way back home, and who knows what they would expect next.

------

Note: Jay and Niki will be progressively included in the story line. I’m sorry for the long wait :(

Literally any of the fall themed f/o asks with anyone! Hope you're hanging in there darling 🧡🍂🍁

Thank you so so much, honey, oh my goodness💛💛I'd love to read some of your answers with Casanova; you might just have to reblog these asks too👀I hope you're taking care of yourself!

Answering the rest of the questions for Jakob because he's baby💛

🍄- What "Fall"("Autumn") aesthetic outfits would you and that F/O(s) would wear? (Dark/Light Academia, Swampcore, Mushroomcore, Earthcore, Cabincore, Forestpunk, Mosscore, Halloween, etc.)

Jakob might've at first worn dark academia outfits, since he used to be a well-regarded scholar, though those days are far behind him now. Cabincore is our favorite and first choice.

I see Jakob in lots of sweaters like this (modern AU since this wouldn't fit the time period, etc etc): :

he would be so plush and comfy and cozy. I'd love to snuggle up to him and put my hands under his thick sweater and let him keep me warm. I'm always freezing and these sweaters look so so warm. Jake would be my personal warm spot, where I can snuggle with him while he writes or at least steal a sweater from time to time whenever I need it. If he isn't around I can wear it so that I smell like him and am reminded of his presence.

🦊- Who is the more "cunning one"? And tell us a story about an instance.

We are both arguably cunning. After all, Jakob is part of a grift with his brother to swindle naive townspeople out of money by exploiting their fear and lack of understanding of the supernatural, therefore being cunning is a very necessary a part of the scheme. I have found my own ways of involvement in addition to their well-designed and effectively executed extortions; if poor townspeople believe in such nonsense as Jakob and Will described in their previous gig, perhaps they might pay extra to have a copy of Jakob's and Will's book signed by the famous authors themselves (though when Will and Jake have not held a public book signing, there's always a more dishonest means by which an unfortunate peasant might purchase an autographed collection of works believed to have been signed by the famous brothers Grimm.)

On the honest side of doing business, Jakob and Will do not like to sign every copy thrust in their faces, however, I can get the Grimms to sign anything I want, if I want. Many townspeople are quite grateful to me for being able to get them a signed copy, simply because I can lay on the charm thick enough to get both signatures.

🥧 - What is your and their favorite pie?

I love this question, oh my god. Okay, so, Jakob and I both prefer pie instead of cake. there's not many pies we don't like, but my favorite pie is cherry🍒 Jakob's is sweet potato (I hate him jk jk) no but he also loves brown sugar pie and apple pie (this baby can eat an entire pie by himself and usually will try to; it's the only treat for which he gets as excited as Will does.)

🦉- Do you listen to each other's advice? Tell us a story about your favorite instance of trying to give advice!

I am much better at giving advice than taking it. Jakob listens to everything I say and sometimes I wish that were an overstatement. His deepening relationship with his brother is something I've given him lots of advice on; the brothers fight a lot. It is natural, yet their bickering arguments run deeper than any kind of harmless quarrel amongst siblings. I've given Jakob advice on when it is necessary for him to stand up for himself; Jakob has difficulty getting Will's attention and punching him in the face is not a healthy means of doing so.

🍵- do y'all drink tea? If so, what kind? If not, what about it disinterests y'all?

I don't drink tea either, but Jakob does. It keeps him warm in the winter (he also keeps a lot of soup in his diet for the same reason.) There's not many flavors he won't try, but fruity flavors tend to be his favorites, i.e: blueberry and blackberry. He tried vanilla tea once and was surprised that it wasn't half bad. The only tea I will drink is chai tea.

☕- what about coffee? If yes, what sort? If no, what don't you like?

Coffee is too strong for Jakob and I (caffeine does not settle well with me.) On the rarest of occasions, when Jakob needs to be awake, he will drink just black coffee, but he hates the taste of it. He justifies it by stating that if he is "needed to be awake early enough to drink coffee, then I am unhappy anyway."

Questions are from: generalized F/O fall/autumn asks.

Don’t do this, please (Or How this guy got to be a loser both irl and in my writing)

When I got my book published, a dude I hadn't talked to in 3 years had the nerve to message me asking for a free copy. He also asked if my book was "autobiographical", and mind you, that showed me how little he cared, as he could have googled the title and see the plot. But he didn't, so he asked me if my book about British vampires in the USA was "autobiographical".

I obviously told him that I wasn't going to give him a free copy, and that if he wanted one, he could come to my bookstore and pay for one. He insisted, saying that we were friends.

"We are not", I said. "We haven't been for more than three years, and the last thing you did was beg for my forgiveness because you had spread lies about me."

He begged a bit more for a free book, and I told him no again.

"I wouldn't call you to do electrical work on my house then not pay you because 'we are friends', would I? That would be wrong. Then why do you insist on not paying me for my work?" I said. "If you want to read the book that much, pay for a copy or go to the library."

He then told me he couldn't afford a copy, and that I should give him one for free and then he would 'find a use' for it. I was like

At this point I thought he was trying to get a free copy to gift it to someone, probably his girlfriend (yes, he had one at the time. Unbelievable but true). I said no for a third time and he said something like:

"Ok, JK Rowling, no need to be that stuck up!"

And I replied something like:

"Excuse me? The fact that I am not her is why I can't afford to give you a free copy. I am an aspiring author, so pay me for my work or don't buy it."

Then he ignored that and tried to make small talk, which I wasn't buying. I guess he thought that if we were friends again, I would give him a copy. I cut him off immediately, and then he mentioned one of the lies he had spread (me doing oral to him, which I guess happened in his dreams, seeing as he confuses fiction with reality so much) and blocked me.

I LOVE WHEN GARBAGE TAKES ITSELF OUT!!

The point with this story is that, no matter how popular as a writer (or other type of artist), someone, somewhere, will ask you for free stuff. And that is not okay, especially not regarding smaller creators like me. I spent 9 months of sleeping 3 or 4 hours each night to write my book after working all day, and then 3 more months of revising and polishing it before sending to my publisher, and I got lucky they accepted it. Then began 3 more months of rewriting some parts, and the publisher's team spent another 3 months to get to the printed book. It has a lot of my time and work in it, but also other people's time and work, so asking for a copy for free is not only insulting me but also them.

Also a second point to this story could be: never piss of a writer. Because now I am going to make this dude a character* in another story and give him a very ridiculous, very painful death.

* The character name is Jake. Sorry all the Jakes, but I had to do it.
