Jake Writing Guide : 2024 Colourised!

Ok well, this isn't the prime year 2014 but I really wanted to make a concise and easy to consume guide for how to write Jake accurately since he can be quite the fussy tosspot if you dont know where to start. [ WARNING ITS A BIT LONG I INCLUDE JAKE DIALOGUE TO HELP WITH UNDERSTANDING WHAT IM SAYING. ] First off: drop the commas, and the apostrophes. He uses largely run-on sentences and has a sort of rambly sense of words. He does however use "these" every now and then and just as it strikes him tends to *Drag out the ole roleplayisms.* when it suits the situation.

Jake doesn't really tend to use old-timey slang but he does have rather antiquated ways of speaking, with a pension for more articulated language. He only REALLY breaks out the old timey words when particularly impressed or exasperated for emphasis. Usually, these words are british slang.

Note how he goes on a ramble that is slightly self-centred. He also spins stories similiar to how Dirk does, but without the ice-cold deal. Tossing in his own spin with his own words.

This one is just really fucking funny.

When hes particularly exasperated he leans into it MORE. Just really spreads it on thick. Like if he continues to say funny words you'll forget everything else and be distracted by his whimsy.

Jake is FAR more socially aware than people give him credit for but prefers to avoid tricky subjects hes not too comfortable with until he feels suitably ready for it, prefers battles he knows he can win so to speak. He also tends to think hes overthinking it and backtrack into ignorance. He overcomplicates things same as dirk does but rather than doing Dirks "yup thats a me problem. Im going to quietly stress about it now!", jake brushes it under the rug and tries not to think about it like a college student trying not to think about their outstanding academic paper and the promise of "Yeah, I'll do it later" (doesn't)

Note his more genuine understanding of why Dirk functions the way he does, well aware of the pros AND cons of having something like a combat machine hunting him.

His awareness of Janes crush and reluctance to deal with it:

Subsequent backtracking and denial of said premonitions, brushing it under the rug. Again, stating his reluctance to get into it because it's a situation he's not wellversed. Jake doesn't like being put into unpredictable situations, he prefers the easy road that won't inconvenience him much.

Also his desire to be seen as seemingly perfect and not have to dwell on others intents. Now this is something I don't see touched on as MUCH on writing guides for Jake English (then again the majority were made in 2014 so who can blame them.) But when Jake touches on what he views as MORE TABOO feelings aka ones which compromise the go-getter Adventurer image that arent BRAVE and GUSTO and GUNS, such as weakness, hesitation, he tends to pose back to the asking party as a question and reconsider his thought process. Like: Do YOU think its ok for me to feel this way? Why do you think that? Could you imagine me thinking something like that? He cares a LOT about his image and whats acceptable for him to be and to mask his difficulty in some social situations.

He doesn't like acknowledging that which might be sort of difficult for him to come to terms with, with the ye olde character trait of repression that him and John share, believing if he keeps his feelings buttoned up, they don't need to feel embarassed (aka: avoidance)

Hes also a fair bit more snarkier than fanon gives him hooks for. His subconscious takes the form of his best friend, but its commented as being “like hal, in terms of snarks”. Jake can also be the snarky customer to Dirk AND Hal, and Caliborn too. He's a gentleman to ladies (TO A DEGREE) but with guys he's not afraid to be more cutting with it. I am begging you on your hands and knees to drop the woobified jake english and make him slightly snarky and a bit offputting and weird. Jake grew up in the middle of a jungle and burned his grandmother.

Also he seems to be slightly aware of outside forces, note him calling attention to the fact he knows things he shouldn't canonically even be able to know.

Because Jake IS a little freak. He thinks corpse puppetry is funny. He punches what he thinks is fish hitler while ranting about movies. Hes funny as fuck. Hello.

However, with all of THAT out of the way, lets focus on some of the more ABRASIVE parts of his personality. While Jake is funnily charming with his old lingo and tendency to ramble, he has issues! One HUGE one is reluctance to fully FACE things he doesnt feel he has a full grasp on. He DOESNT like going out of his comfort zone, he DOESNT like talking about his emotions to people he really cares about or thinks has fallen for his manic dreamboat pixie persona, He's well aware people fall for it. He works hard to make sure people DO. But it sort of restricts him to that persona, he can't grow from it as long as he holds onto the idea that this persona hes chasing is the only way he can BE without being vulnerable.

Jake can be OVERBEARING, and not just that, painfully unaware when he's up his own ass! This critic he gives to Dirk applies to himself! The reason why he doesn't like brainghost dirk is because GOD forbid the man self-reflect juuust a little and find something that upsets him. Nope! Not going to deal with it. Just as quickly as he is to switch the thought that everyone loves him, he is just as likely to switch to think that everyone doesnt.

Anyways, I think thats all I have to say, Jakes words speak a LOT about his character, and I genuinely love him a lot. He has some words i think about a lot and hes genuinely such an awesome guy. I'll let a few choice pieces of dialogue from Jake himself close this out for me.

This was one of the last conversations we see with him. And I still think about his words a lot.

I'll probably edit this when I get the energy. But I think i covered most of it. Happy writing!

[totem-but-shark]

i can't stop thinking about qfoolishs interactions with the golden cucurucho child, he had this certain lilt to his voice all day and was dropping such fascinating lines i've been clawing at the bars of my enclosure needing to dissect it. So I propose the perspective of viewing their interactions as qfoolish possibly projecting onto the goldernruchito

Even looking at just the line "You're just a statue, remember that", replace statue with totem and suddenly it becomes eerily similar to the feelings qfoolish has long been implied to have in relation to his own status of a totem. Are totems not also statues? I'm fairly certain he might've even described himself as some kind of statue before. He dehumanises himself often though subtly, he serves a purpose, one he has to fulfil. He's just a totem.

This comparison between foolish and the goldenruchito continues in the line "we're the same", id like to think qfoolish meant this beyond their golden skins. He's been known to empathise and identify with gold and totems before and they're lifeless, this is a living golden child. To me this could be qfoolish confirming he sees himself in the kid.

This becomes far sadder with the question "are you the only one of your kind?", with the context of qfoolish possibly projecting it's easy to understand what i'm implying. We've never seen another totem on the qsmp, hybrid or not. Not in federation notes, nor implied totem throwaway lore. Hell, even qfoolish hardly knows what he is. Demons are a species, they're able to find and identify each other and often stick together. There's understanding between groups of hybrids, shared instincts and experiences. And then there's foolish. Unique, painfully so. It makes me wonder if he'd ever seen anything like himself before, perhaps ever. He might just be "the only one of his kind". You'd see how this fellow golden being could really shake him up, maybe being a part of his fascination and fluctuating opinion on the kid.

This thing is like him, but not really, but kinda. It might as well be a totem, even if it isn't. He doesn't like it. It's just a child, all alone.

This isn't canon, but foolish isn't gonna give us anything so i take what i get. In my heart it's canon. Thanks for reading :]

Unpopular opinion (because a lot of people hate her design simply because she’s black and is a bit round): I love her design. Here’s the link: https://twitter.com/jmurfish/status/1687554282818531328

Rant in tags.

#Like I’m not joking people hate April’s design simply because she’s a bit chubby and she’s black and people automatically say it’s terrible #People on Twitter said she looked “obese”. #Obese how? I don’t see it #Tw fatphobia #tw racism #i didn’t see anyone complaining much about April’s Rise design. But I guess it’s because she was thinner #but here #Twitter #People on twitter piss me off so much #Rant #Tmnt #tmnt mutant mayhem #april o'neil #Not to mention they think oh she’s a little chubby therefore she’s not attractive. Like leave her alone she is a TEENAGER YOU DUMBASSES #I don’t get into TMNT but I have to point this out because hoo boy this is a doozy

run, godspeed

Sansa reaches out and runs a hand through his red curls, soft and forgiving, and she nods. “The King’s work will be done,” she whispers into his ear, and then she grips him tighter and kisses him on the forehead, hard and stamping: a wolf’s kiss. [Joffrey decides to teach Sansa Stark a lesson in gratitude. Sansa learns something else altogether.]

Ch:25 of Darlings and Dragons

Gods, he hadn’t thought about them like this in so long. What would they think of him now? Hermione would probably scold him for living in a cave of all things when he could go out and be social for a time. He remembered how she would complain about how he cooped himself up for too long, plotting and planning to protect them. “Let someone else help you,” She would say over and over again.  Most days, Harry would turn her down. No one knew Voldemort like he did. No one knew how he operated in those days, and how desperate he was to rip Harry limb from limb. No matter how much he tried to block his mind, dreams of the man's lust for his blood sometimes slipped through.  Ron would probably freak out that he kissed Voldemort, or that he was even working with him in the first place. He would yell at Harry until his face was blue then wonder if he had been eating right. Harry smiled at the thought of all the questions Ron would have for him about the food he had been growing, and how he could try to cook with it. 

🌈 Share something soft/fluffy from your WIP.

From a WIP that I wrote about 2 years ago and started playing with again. I got about 30kish in before i stopped.

Harry turned his head towards him, and blinked slowly. “I remember you. You made all the funny ghosts appear while we were at the party.” Thomas knew exactly what Harry was talking about, and tried not to show himself tense. Harry was thinking about the night in the graveyard when their wands connected, and they both saw the shades of the recent murders Thomas had committed appear. Thomas had the thought that maybe his plan was not going to go so easily after all.  “Not quite... Thomas replied, taking the washcloth to Harry’s forehead again.  “Do you remember me,” Harry asked innocently.  Thomas thought carefully about his answer, knowing that there were eyes still upon him. “Yes, Harry. You’re the one who loved flying so much that he was able to out fly a dragon.”  His eyes widened comically wide. “I do like flying. Where is my broom? I want to fly with a dragon again.”  “We can go flying later when you’re feeling better,” Thomas told him kindly. “Are you thirsty?” Harry nodded and Thomas helped him sit up in the bed to help him drink. Harry only got a few sips down before he started choking on the water, his eyes widening in fear and turning bright green. He struggled to regain his breath as his mind was thrown into another vision.  Minister Fudge watched horrified as the boy thrashed and fought to get away from an invisible attacker. Lucius placed his hand on the Minister’s shoulder and tried to guide the man out of the room, but he did not budge.
