Formal Friday: let’s see your muse all spiffed up.

what did your muse look like in their twenties?

"Are you ready for this?!"

"Jesus Christ, what was I thinking!"

Sweet Child O' Mine - Guns N' Roses

A big favourite from Jake's childhood. He used to want to play guitar like Slash until he realised how hard playing the guitar can be. He kept a guitar in his room throughout his teens as a way to impress any potential beaus but that plan backfired when one of them asked him to play!

Danger Zone - Kenny Loggins

As they traversed across the country, Jake devised a code using some of his favourite songs to communicate with his Mighty Hawks. The opening riff of this song was used by Jake to warn the Hawks if they were straying too far for his liking (as in they were heading into a danger zone).

Every Little Thing She Does is Magic - The Police

Back when Erin was a toddler, Jake had to find ways to keep her quiet. Jake was borderline appalled to discover Erin liked his singing (he's OK at singing but knows he'll only ever be OK at it). This song was one of her favourite lullabies.

It's the End of the World as We Know It - R.E.M.

He's had this fucking song stuck in his head for the best part of five years. And yet, he can't hate it because it's mostly apt. What's worse is that he can't remember the words to the verses, only the chorus!

What's My Age Again? - blink-182

This song just fits for Jake's mindset from before the virus outbreak. Immature, self-centred, just looking for fun and nothing serious, all to a jaunty, bouncy tune!

Jake's favourite clothing and accessories

Before the virus, Jake was very focused on clothing labels. Everything he owned had to have some kind of designer label. These days, he's more concerned by how long his clothes will last, even going so far as to learn how to patch things up when he needs to.

His favourite accessories are the handmade friendship bracelets the Mighty Hawks have made for him. Cass found a kit of embroidery thread on day while they were going through a town and she taught the others how to make bracelets. Jake treasures him, wearing them constantly and showing them off proudly to anyone who asks about them.

.. what d&d class suits your personality?

College of Glamour Bard

You’re a storyteller at heart and you may have a bit of a Thing about attention and validation. You’re a natural improviser and you’re great at adapting to situations at a moment’s notice using whatever resources you have at your disposal. You can’t stand being bored. You’re very creative and you probably have a great sense of style. You’re honestly just here for a good time, and you live for drama.

The College of Glamour is the home of bards who mastered their craft in the vibrant realm of the Feywild or under the tutelage of someone who dwelled there. Tutored by satyrs, eladrin, and other fey, these bards learn to use their magic to delight and captivate others. You’re a natural performer who doesn’t mind being the center of attention. You’re a great admirer of beauty and you are the type to have a very carefully cultivated personal aesthetic. You might have a bit of a whimsical or eccentric side and some people might find you a little unusual at first, but you can usually win them over with your delightful personality. You love receiving compliments, praise, and validation but might have a hard time dealing with criticism or negativity.

Jake's Prom Outfits

If Jake had the chance, he'd wear a tux to the prom. But right now, he doesn't have a tux, or even a bowtie! After travelling around with the Hawks, Jake had to learn to cut back on his wardrobe, leaving him with limited options for the Redwood Prom. So he chooses the cleanest, less tatty looking items he has and is glad his former stylist can't see him now!

how many braincells do you have?

you have one (1) brain cell

be nice to it. it's the only one you have. maybe the only one you'll ever have. if it gets plenty of water and sunlight maybe it'll grow

[jakehawk]

what do you wear to bed? (photo encouraged)

[jakehawk]

once you're stripped clean, what's your core?

resounding truth

you have a goal in mind, and others brush it off right away... why does everyone always tell you to follow your dreams when it's actually their dreams that they want you to follow? your memory is weak, and your conviction is even weaker on days when you're reminded of how alone you really are. it's hard to go on without someone pushing you forward... is this what life is? a cycle of monotony, fuelled only by the desire not to trouble anyone too much with your passing? it would be nice to have something, or someone, to spur you on. i hope you find them.

what do you look like when you laugh?

What is/was your favourite pet or one you always wanted?

The Hawk family dog, Candy (named after John Candy, the Canadian comedy actor), will always be Jake's favourite pet. She was a sweet natured dog who loved belly rubs and to chew on tennis balls.

The Mighty Hawks

Jake never intended to become a parent. Not before the virus and not after it either. And yet, now he is a father of 5 rambunctious lil' scamps. Despite his former lack of fatherly instincts, Jake now loves his Mighty Hawks (the name being a play on the movie, The Mighty Ducks) more than anything in the world.

how tall are you? what's your zodiac sign (and do you think it suits you)? what languages do you speak? do you play any instruments?

"I'm surprised you didn't also ask what my favourite dinosaur is (it's stegosaurus) or if I could only eat one type of cookie forever, what would it be (Oreos).

"Onto your actual questions! I'm 6'2". I'm a Scorpio, which suits me because scorpions are cool. I speak English and maybe enough Spanish to order a beer. And I tried to play guitar to impress girls when I was a teenager. Long story short: it didn't work!"

How would a Fandom see you if you were a fictional character?

So Much Fanfiction

You have so, so much fanfiction, either because you're so shippable, or because you're hot. Maybe both. Probably both. You definitely flirt with everyone, either way. Tumblr and Twitter love you and showers you with queer headcanons. Reddit keeps a safe distance.
