Just because you asked, Jaboody. I attempted to repeat my Alpha Kids TED talk. Starting with Jane, then Roxy, then Dirk, then Jake.
Thesis: The Alphas are liars, they lie to you the reader, they lie to each other, they lie to themselves, and if you take them at their word you will literally miss The Point.
I cannot fucking believe I forgot to mention in the Jake Section that RIGHT BEFORE the janejake friendzone convo, RIGHT BEFORE, when jake is talking to roxy, he literally fucking slips up and refers to jane’s feelings as “unrequited” he literally says it
i love jake english, that lying bitch, i love him to fucking death
Someone asked me what I mean about the Alphas being liars. Coincidentally I did basically an extemporaneous TED Talk on the topic a while ago. There are a few details I would rephrase (my meta about Okay What Is BGD Really changes a lot) but broadly speaking, this is a primer on how The Alphas Are Liars.
Catch me here listening to Let’s Read Homestuck at work and laughing my ass off at Jane’s entire intro page but ESPECIALLY the “luckily, she’s not the type to hold a grudge.” like oh my god l m a o.
