You know what? I change my mind. Jake isn't the middle child.
Eliot is definitely the oldest. His persona oozes older child syndrome. Protective, strong-willed, controlled, but much more kinder and has a gentler side. Probably gets in trouble more often- because he's the oldest. Looks for danger or perhaps danger just comes and finds him.
Alex is the middle. Middle child would just drop themselves off on an island they never researched with health problems. Has that lone wolf vibe but seems to always find a team/ family. You can't tell me that spontaneously buying a business isn't a Middle child vibe. Plus, he seems to have middle child intelligence.
Now, Jacob is the youngest. He's has that gullibility that youngest have. There's hope for a better and brighter future. He's smart- but hides it. Almost like it was pounded into his brain (maybe not by El or Alex, but by somebody) to keep his smarts to himself. Plus, Jake doesn't fight the way Alex and Eliot do. But he does fight. Which gives me the idea that he has relied on his older brothers to protect him (and train him when they aren't there.)

due to light pollution slowly making the stars less visible do you think the clans when near chelford had some sort of “StarClan is forsaking us” ideas
do you think the lake has less light pollution? I bet the cats would be flipping their lids about brighter stars, maybe some “the ancestors approve of our journey, see they’re so happy”
Do you think light pollution would impact StarClan ability to do fancy mystical stuff like prophecies or would it not impact that
Erins give me your goddamn Lake Territory I can fix it
Back near Chelford, I think the cats were able to make the connection to humans. It was only suspicion at first, a stark difference between being in SkyClan territory and being near the Mothermouth. They would associate the Mothermouth as being holier, WindClan and ShadowClan would brag about their piety.
But it's direct correlation. Humans move closer, they set up their lights, and the stars fade. After SkyClan is torn up and the suburb ambles in, the light pollution becomes worse in less than 5 years. Generation turnover is high because of their short lifespans, but they'd notice.
And then, one day, the power goes out, and it stays out for several days. We'd call that a major blackout-- the Clans would call it a miracle. Suddenly "Silverpelt" (the milky way) isn't just a metaphor in kit stories. It's right there.
I think they'd see Chelford's lights, in that moment, like stolen stars. I think they'd reconcile that with boiling rage.
I'm reminded of one of the scenes in Paradise Lost of all things; where Lucifer is rallying all the fallen angels after they get their asses beat and they're laying in a bloody heap on Hell's brand new linoleum tile, and there's a sentiment... "We HAVE to fight God, because if we don't hate him, if we're not getting back at him, the only other thing we could feel is complete despair."
The journey had more stars than they'd seen in their lifetimes. More than their parents had seen in their lifetimes. More than their grandparent's grandparents had seen in their lifetimes.
I think the first time they see that, some of them would react with awestruck fear, digging their claws into the dirt, thinking their ancestors were coming for them now. Others would pray. Some would cry. Most would just stare.
A story starts to pass around; that the twolegs hadn't stolen the stars after all. They'd just come here... to wait for their children to find them.

ok so I’m fully onboard the summer beach vacation with Alfred
thinking about staying at a house on a private beach. Alfred watches you from the balcony as you sunbathe. when you catch him watching, you undo the ties of your bikini and head into the water
Ohh yes! He wouldn’t be able to keep his eyes off you at any point 🥵 which, why is that so hot, your man just so mesmerized by you he can’t stop peeking at you
Alfred having his tea out on the balcony, it’s warm and sunny and the breeze smells like the ocean and as he’s looking out over the water his gaze ends up finding you lounging out in the sun, sipping on the smoothie he made for you earlier and he’s content with the fact that you look so relaxed and happy
That’s all he wants, plus seeing the smile on your face when you catch him watching and wave to him, he’s sure you can see his cheeks get a little pink even from the balcony and you do him no favors in keeping his composure when you loosen the straps of that pretty bikini top you have on
He’s already thinking about undoing the strings of your matching bottoms, you’ve got them tightened into cute bows and as you get up and slip into the water, Alfred thinks he’ll watch you swim for just a little while before he heads down there to join you and show you how much he’s enjoying this vacation and seeing you so carefree
UGH I WANT HIM!!!
