My first contribution to the Resident Evil Fandom and of course it's another tiny ship 🥲

- Piers and Jake are enemies to lovers in the best kind of slow burn way. If you don’t believe me read Raccoon City: Redux on AO3 T R U S T M E

- I can’t decide if I head-canon Piers as gay or bi, they’re both kind of fitting. That’s makes sense in my head because I can totally see Piers crushing in a girl that can kick his ass, just as much as a guy. Though I feel like he’s had more boyfriends, and with being in the BSAA this did not help XD

- I head canon Jake as Demi/Bi. Jake grew up with a in and off message about love and what he wanted out of it. Because if that, he started messing around slowly figuring out he was into men and women but what he wanted deep down was someone he could truly fall for. Because of that he’s only vulnerable with a select people, such as Sherry. Homie just wants to find someone to cuddle and love :3

- Like IMAGINE if Jake’s partner for his campaign was Piers and they put effort into them-UGGGHH😩👌🏾.The heart to heart scenes would be TOP TIER. The character growth, the relationship growth. They should’ve hired me for re6.

- Anyways :3

- The teasing, the cute moments, the connection would’ve been so cute.

- Like Capcom made two characters that are literally junior versions of their two most ICONIC characters and they didn’t do ANYTHING with them?? You made Wesker Junior and Redfield Junior they just said, yeah they don’t need to interact :=3

- I feel like Piers took a little while longer than Jake to fall. A lot of authors, especially Ao3 authors have a common detail in Piers where he is more resilient to falling in love in general. (Which is a character detail I cannot even begin to go over)

- But besides that point, Piers was definitely the “Oh my god I’m in love” person of the relationship.

- Jake on the other hand-

- Lord have mercy

- Remember how I said enemies to lovers? Yeah homeboy was killing that trope.

- The constant teasing, jokes, etc, etc, etc.

- Piers could not catch a break (But deep down he kinda loved it.)

- My favorite thing for them is how Puppy could have started out as a insult and then it gradually started to being a cute nickname Jake just calls him and Piers gets used too over time.

Like read these lines with Jake’s voice in your head and you’ll see what I mean;

- “Awww, poor puppy.” (Mocking)

- “ You got a plan puppy?”(General)

- “Hey, don’t worry about it puppy..”(Cute, assuring.”

- “Cute puppy…” (😏)

- Like AAAHH

- The moment Piers and Jake become a couple they are ride or die. No questions asked.

- I’m talking standing up for each other, grabbing each other before one of them gets hit, hugging, Jake grabbing Piers hand while Piers sleeps.

- As the relationship brings to grow and they start become friend as well as partners on the field, Jake unconsciously grabs Piers’ hand to keep him safe, similarly to what Jake did in his campaign with Sherry.

- I once thought of this heartfelt moment while they’re getting into the friends stage where Piers isn is just slowly giving up during a mission, and then Jake starts to realize this and he’s in his head like:

- “Wait, he’s sax, I don’t like that.”

- “I have to make him smile.”

- Hear me out, picture this:

- Despite the area around him in ruins, Jake ignores it all the moment he see’s the look of disappointment and despair in Piers eyes. The hope in Piers’ body is draining.

- Piers goes onto talking about how he’s failing to do his job. How he can’t handle it, finishing off that he’s not enough.

- Jake is bewildered at this because the entire time he’s seen Piers, he’s stubborn, smart, and importantly determined. Honestly he was keeping Jake from giving up.

- It made Jake realize that he didn’t want to see Piers vulnerable like this. Not because he didn’t care, but he was worried in a way he’s never been before.

- Jake gets a soft look in his eyes and grabs Piers’ hand talking him not to sell himself short. That he’s doing an amazing job despite how at odds they are compared to the world. That they probably wouldn’t be alive without him.

- and the end it all off, Jake, without even being aware of it. softly tilts Piers’ chin up and looks in his eyes and tells him “I think you great, Piers.”

- Piers’s eyes widen and bit. They are the replaced with a soft gaze and he smiles softly. That’s the first time in the mission Jake said his name.

- IMAGINE IF THAT WAS IN THE GAME😩💀‼️‼️

This is getting super long. I am very normal about this humongous super duper ultra platinum rare pair. No it’s not 3:30 am, yes I’m getting sleep.

interesting art for my first post. enjoy

SO,,, JAKES WHOLE FUCKING CHARACTER ARC WAS THAT HE WAS DIFFERENT, BETTER THAN HIS FATHER, HE HAS ALL THESE FUCKING EXPECTATIONS PUT ONTO HIM THAT HES JUST THIS SHITTY ASS WESKERSPAWN MERCENARY WHO ONLY CARES ABOUT MONEY AND VIOLENCE OR WHATEVER— BUT HES NOT!!!! HES A GENUINELY GOOD FUCKING GUY!!! (SAVE FOR THE EDGY MISOGYNISTIC 2012 WRITING BUT THATS A WHOLE NOTHER RANT) AND WE SEE THAT HE DOES CARE ABOUT STUFF DESPITE HIS PAST AS AN ADOLESCENT RAISED NOT TO— THIS IN CONTRAST TO WESKER BEING SO UNREPARABLY BRAINWASHED INTO HIS SHIT IS JUST SO 👹👹👹👹 LIKE YALL HAVENT HEARD MY WESKER RANTS BUT GOOD GOD— JAKES WHOLE THING IS THAT HE OVERCOMES THE EXPECTATIONS OF EVERYONE ELSE AND IS LIKE A GOOD DECENT FUCKING PERSON DESPITE THOSE EXPECTATIONS. ON TOP OF THAT HE HAS THIS HUGE ASS EXPECTATION FROM EVERYONE THAT HES RESPONSIBLE FOR RIGHTING HIS FATHERS WRONGS— WHICH FIRST OF ALL HOLY SHIT, SECOND OF ALL HE DOES NOT HAVE ANY OBLIGATION, BUT HE TAKES ON THIS RESPONSIBILITY ANYWAYS— AND JAKE,,, POOKIE,,, BBYGIRL HE HAS THIS WHOLE THING ABOUT RELEARNING HOW TO CARE AND IT MAKES ME MISERABLEEEEEEEEEE

uhm 🫡 ANYWAYS,, AND FUCK— PIERS IS THE HUMAN REPRESENTATION OF WHAT THE BSAA WANTS OF CHRIS. IK FOR A FACT THAT CHRIS SEES HIS YOUNGER SELF IN PIERS,, HE SEES THE CHRIS BEFORE ALL THE SHIT HIT THE FAN- THE CHRIS WHO WAS DETERMINED TO FIGHT UNTIL HE WAS SIX FEET UNDER. THATS WHY HES CHRIS’ PROTÉGÉ. CHRIS KNOWS THAT PIERS IS CAPABLE OF WHAT HE ISNT, BECAUSE CHRIS IS A RUINED MAN AND IN HIS EYES PIERS HAS THE CAPACITY TO BE MORE RESILIENT THAN HE WAS. PIERS HAS ALWAYS BEEN A MARTYR PIERS HAS ALWAYS BEEN A TOOL… PIERS IS THE ACOLYTE TO THE GREATER GOOD AND HE IS UTTERLY DEVOTED TO SACRIFICE. 😱😭‼️⁉️🗣️

THEY ARE BOTH SUCH FUCKING ACCIDENTAL CHARACTER FOILS. AN EXPLORATION OF GENERATIONAL RESPONSIBILITY AND THE GRANDIOSE EXPECTATIONS OTHERS PLACE ONTO YOU. PASSING THE TORCH FROM SHOES YOU DONT FIT. THEY ARE SO 🗣️🗣️🗣️⁉️‼️‼️‼️‼️ JUST THE IDEA OF EXPLORING THAT DYNAMIC. THEY ARE BODY SO GOOD AND HUMAN! THEY R BOTH JNFECTED. THEY ARE BOTH TOOLS. THEY ARE BOTH RAISED TO BE SOLDIERS. THEY BOTH R TRYING THEIR BEST.

something something the younger crew are all narratives for Bioterror’s longterm impacts/potential/consequences— and that as the children/protégés/wards of the og crew, they had the potential to neatly wrap up a lot of messy/vague conclusions from earlier shit and even the implications of generational trauma we see CRUMBS of in the games!!!! ALL THAT AND THEY WERE ALL FUCKIN WASTED POTENTIAL- I’m talking about you Sherry, you Jake, YOU PIERS,,,,
