HOWEVER!!!

Recently my friends are streaming us playing AA1-5 or Rise from the Ashes (*cough cough* here’s the plug come check us out we stream AA on Saturday evenings usually around 8 PM CST *cough cough*), and we started really expanding onto bits particularly around Jake Marshall, you know him, the police officer who screams Texan cowboy but is actually from West LA. I personally never thought much of Jake when I played RftA for the first time almost 5 years ago now, but MAN we were putting so much extra headcanon/lore stuff on him that he’s grown into an almost immediate favorite despite only seeing him for one session. Some bits include:

- He has a nut allergy

- He’s trans

- He takes his testosterone through his flask

- He has a horse named Pistachio who holds Jake’s epipen and can shoot a gun with her mouth

AND MOST IMPORTANTLY-

MARSHOE

THAT’S RIGHT, WE NOW HAVE A CRACKSHIP AMONGST OUR MIDST- AND I NEED YOU ALL TO HEAR US OUT ON THEM!! Two people in the force who do canonically know about each other and have implied-interactions??? Plus I think they’d be INCREDIBLY silly together, why not?! Please indulge in the sillies with us, this isn’t anything super serious, it is a crackship after all! But as someone who has been a hardcore fan of the series for a little over 5 years now, I think it’s super fun! Honestly kinda boggles my mind in the almost 20 years since RftA I’ve never seen art or fics of these two together either. So I’m contributing dang it!!! HERE’S MARSHOE, ENJOY SOME OTHER SKETCHES!!

If you wanna see more Jake Marshall lore, I’m gonna drop our highlight reel from our last stream, it includes more bits I didn’t list above and our origins in Marshoe :)

"It has been frequently remarked that it seems to have been reserved to the people of this country, by their conduct and example, to decide the important question, whether societies of men are really capable or not of establishing good government from reflection and choice, or whether they are forever destined to depend for their political constitutions on accident and force. If there be any truth in the remark, the crisis at which we are arrived may with propriety be regarded as the era in which that decision is to be made; and a wrong election of the part we shall act may, in this view, deserve to be considered as the general misfortune of mankind."  - Alexander Hamilton "Hence it is, that such democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security, or the rights of property; and have in general been as short in their lives, as they have been violent in their deaths." - James Madison  "Among the strange things of this world, nothing seems more strange than that men pursuing happiness should knowingly quit the right and take a wrong road, and frequently do what their judgments neither approve nor prefer." - John Jay
