Anonymous asked: In my mind I will forever refer to Jake as "Roach Boy"
Oh my God, the YELP of laughter I let out when I saw this, you have no idea. Roach Boy, with a Roach Motel on his head.
On a somewhat related note I think it’s fucking great that he gets called Big Jake, like, point me toward the fanart where Jake is just. A big dude. Not fat–he’s an athlete, even if he’s not great at basketball–but just big. I have a friend who’s a football player (like…one of the positions that does a lot of running, I know nothing about football) and he’s like six foot and he’s ALWAYS been a really huge dude, tall and broad shouldered and kind of benevolently looming at all times, even when we were Animorphs-age. Draw me Jake like that dude. Just. Real tall and real broad through his shoulders with real big hands and generally kind of unsure about what to do about it. Talk to me about how he goes from kind of cheerfully slouched (I know a lot of friendly huge dudes, you know the slouch I mean, of like “I’m really tall and I’m trying to look approachable”) to ramrod straight and menacing as fuck during the war. He goes from being totally friendly and adorable to…genuinely kind of intimidating?
…listen, I’m sorry for this drastic change of topic, I just have a lot of feelings about Big Jake.
