Oh yes, it would be perfect for the big collab project if everyone was on board. I played some of the ones from last year's HSO and they are just completely charming and look like the team had a lot of fun. Plus, like everyone has pointed out, it really just works for the characters.
Thank you! Yes, chaos is so great. I think it would be sort of a natural result of these kids' entanglements. They're all up in each other's business all the time so they can't do anything without pulling everyone along with them.
I see Jake's thing for Jade forming before he meets her in-game, during the time when they're sending letters back and forth and he's confusing beta!Jade with his deceased grandma. For him Jade is much more immediate and real than Rose and Dave are for Roxy and Dirk. Not only does he have faint memories of her holding him he can talk to her, but only in little scraps because it takes so much energy to send letters back and forth. So I see him agonizing over every little detail he puts into his messages to her. We see him working himself to the bone trying to get the rabbit right and it's not even for her! It's for John! Jake things John must be the greatest because that's what Jade told him and Jade is always right because she's just the best! That birthday letter he sends to John is so awkward and heartbreaking because he wants to meet other people so badly. But yeah, he rips all the uranium out of all his stuff to make that stupid rabbit just because Jade tells him it's important. It's almost fatalistic how he's focused on that goal and willing to doom himself to get it, I can see why some people think that he misinterpreted Dirk's lecture about the future to think he was going to die on 11-11-11.
Also this comic breaks my heart. I like to think Jake saved at least a bit of her hair and made something out of it like the Victorians. I wonder if he had anything of hers survive the house exploding. Maybe Dirk and Roxy could steal some of her things and send it to him as a gift, just so he doesn't feel so lonely? They both seem to get that it's important to feel a physical connection to your guardian figure, especially Roxy with alpha!Rose's scarf, so I'd like to think that they'd do something like that for him.
On a happier note, I'm also fond of the idea of Jade and Dirk being great buddies. You like robots and yiffing too? We have so much to talk about!!!
