The Ultimate Cinnamon Roll Deserves Better

A lot of people don't like Jacob Frye, but I DO and anyone who doesn't and trash talks my darling British boy can see my secretary Miss. FightMeYou'llLose. She has a doctorate in Sassology.

Jacob is such a sweetheart and needs more love. I'm being serious. He needs more love. A LOT more love. I understand that his personality doesn't suit everyone, and to each their own but I can't help but get this feeling that the majority of the crazy, risky, and 'stupid' things he does are for attention.

Not because he's like an attention whore or anything who revels in attention like an egotistical narcissist/sociopath/psychopath. But he does it for attention in the context of: Evie getting more attention in their childhood and him feeling lonely and emotionally neglected as a result.

I mean their father favored Evie because she reminded him of his wife Cecily who passed away giving birth to the twins, and then Jacob I believe in his opinion was just...a spare child who he wasn't willing to "deal with". He kinda seemed to see Jacob as a spare child like - "Oops we had two and I only wanna be a dad to one, so the other one gets the short of the stick." I'm not sure that Ethan Frye blamed Jacob for Cecily's death and I can't confirm something that I'm not sure of, but I don't quite get that vibe. But I mean it could be the case as from what I remember Ethan was a harsh father to Jacob, and he certainly gained my disdain even though he was never present in the actual game.

I think he does the things he does partially because he is - AND I SAY THIS WITH LOVE - an ADHD having chaotic dumba-s, but in the best way. Evie is so 'put together' and 'well read' and 'intelligent' and 'perfect'. Meanwhile he's regarded as the 'dumb, younger, annoying, risk taking' baby brother. I don't think he's stupid either. He has a different kind of intelligence than his sister Evie which IS in fact noticeable. She is traditional, academic, and book smart and Jacob is more street smart, creative, and combat/tactical intelligence.

I am just of the opinion that Jacob Frye doesn't deserve all the hate he gets for being 'dumb and annoying'. Everyone has their opinion, but this is mine, and to me his behavior is a cry for behavior due to being constantly neglected and overlooked. The shadow of his older 'perfect' sister.

A view up Victoria Street in 1860 from Bank Hey Street with the Crystal Palace Room dominating the junction, it was later demolished during the 90's.

The building in the distance in the period photograph is the house of William Henry Cocker called "Bank Hey" which was built by his father Dr. John Cocker. Today the Victoria Street entrance to the Winter Gardens complex is located at this site.

Princes Bridge Melbourne 1867.

For the first 10 years the only method of travel between the north and south banks of the Yarra was by row boat or privately owned put.

The Princes Bridge was opened in 1850 and was one of the largest bridges in the world, it's 150ft span second only to the center span of London Bridge. The arches in this photograph were temporary, erected especially for the visit of Prince Alfred in 1867.

The first St Paul's can been seen in the distance, along with spires of St. Enoch's (since demolished) Wesley Church.

It was replaced in 1888 by today's bridge.
