Okay but a serious question.
Is there literally any canonical evidence for Jake being a history buff, or is that just a headcanon that bb!me got really committed to?
Like, I am fine with either one and I will not be moved on this matter, Jake is a history buff, but seriously, which one is it.
He never explicitly mentions liking/studying History, but he can name half a dozen battles (several of which I, a decade older, don’t remember) off the top of his head in book 17, and knows the specifications of an aircraft carrier aT LENGTH, SERIOUSLY SO MUCH LENGTH on that one Ax book.
I’d say well-supported fanon.
*fist bump* Thank you my friend, you’re a champ.
Also in #33 he goes off on a rambling monologue that suggests he knows military history and has deliberately been studying famous leaders.
I know there are other examples. At one point he talks about how General Sherman revolutionized warfare, I think. (#31 or 47? IDK.)
I’d say Jake deliberately studying military history out of necessity (not passion) is cannon.
All right, awesome, I knew this couldn’t be something I’d made up wholecloth.
