What if u could just lift up Jake as if he were some kind of cat- (prob only Elwood can actually do that)
Merely based of an image of Dany kinda lifting John up (said image under the cut)
This one is so funny to me bc
Look at their faces oh my god these fucking idiots/pos

I feel like it's instrumental that Dave Strider never sees Blues Brothers 1980 in his formulative years bc if he saw Joliet Jake rip his shades off of his face, the shades he and his brother Elwood Blues never take off, even while sleeping or entering a hot sauna with 10 other grown men, and he sees Joliet Jake on his knees ripping those shades off and looking up at his jilted ex Carrie Fisher with soulful eyes, Begging for her to believe him so that Carrie Fisher doesn't kill he and his brother with a machine gun (long story) and sees the way Carrie Fisher melts and loses all anger that would be it. That would alter the course of Dave's relationships forever. Every time he'd really want something he'd have a little voice in the back of his head going 'pull a joliet jake'

I mentioned before that I headcanon the Blues Brothers as transmasc, but my more recent headcanon is that they exist in the same universe as the musical Chicago. In that case they could very well have ended up in a queer organization in 1970s Chicago led by an elderly Roxie Hart and Velma Kelly, who of course would've fully encouraged Jake and Elwood in their transition and in their musical careers:
Roxie: Hey you can live the life you like, boys. Velma: Just—neither of you do the spread-eagle with your brother's honey, okay?
After Roxie and Velma leave, the brothers presumably have this exchange:
Jake: Elwood, before those two got together and started doing vaudeville, didn't they both kill their husbands? Elwood: Well, Velma was charged with murdering her husband and sister. Roxie was charged with killing her boyfriend when he dumped her, but she was married to a different guy. Neither of them was convicted— Jake: Eh, even if they weren't convicted, it's still damn cool. Also now that you mention it, didn't Roxie's husband leave because the guy she killed knocked her up? Elwood: That's what the press said during the trial. But the funny thing is, nobody who knows her ever said anything about her having a kid. I actually went to the library and looked through the birth records in the papers, but I didn't find any mention of one. I assume she didn't carry the pregnancy to term, one way or another.
Then Billy Flynn, even older than Roxie and Velma (and also gay because no shit sherlock) shuffles by and mutters to the brothers: "She wasn't actually pregnant. We just cooked that shit up for the press. I probably shouldn't be telling you that, but I've only got a few more years to go, so what does it matter if this gets out? Just more limelight for me and the dame."
Also, since there's nothing I enjoy like a good fix fic for problematic source material, I'm officially declaring that Mary Sunshine is by now a proud Trans Elder™ whose final articles are about the Blues Brothers: first after Jake's robbery, and again after he and Elwood had that legendary car chase.

How complicated it can be for Jake is to understand [Annie's Spanglish] when speaking
And about the relationship they have, it's better not to even ask them.
Jake:
"I admit It, sometimes You surprise me"
Annie:
"Te lo dije Jay Jay. Don't Worries vato, I can fix it. When You live on The barrio You Even learn del 'negocio prohibido'. De esa manera la raza quedó satisfecha con el pago. Nomás que quede entre nosotros, alright?"
In fact, who WOULDN'T be confused by that?
Anyway, the context here is that in the movie, Jake tries to convince the banda that they are going to play their show at a specific place, and Jake lies because they are going to a Contry bar (Something that Jake HATES, he's too "Bluesman" to be playing other types of rhythms)
They get angry with him since what they were SUPPOSED to have earned, they had to pay for the beers they drank.
Then, within my selfship lore, he makes a mistake again since they go to another place closer to Ska. Something Jake isn't very socialized with. Annie put him to rehearse with Elwood, And they manage to win over the público.
The pay was not good so Annie made a bet with the manager to get paid what they really earned. But they didn't count on her cheating, Jake was the only one to know.Therefore, he kept the secret quiet.
Extra: Annie nicknamed him "Jay Jay" and has no resentimientos contra él, no matter how sarcastic he is.
Also, I made the drawing on his birthday BUT I FORGOT TO UPLOAD IT ON THAT DAY 🦆🦆🦆💥💥💥
(She's shorter than Jake, but I made the excuse that she's on a tarima).

This movie was so funny. I still haven't watched the sequel since it wasn't as well received. Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi are also together in Neighbors (1981) which I've been meaning to watch. I love actors that do multiple films together. <3

I just rewatched The Blues Brothers for the seventh time, and it still makes me laugh.
Also here's Jake. Because I (platonically, I hate that I have to say that) love him.
