An Alpha Kids Fan Blog

She pretty much grooms Jane with tech for most of her life. Like, Jane is raised to take over her spot.

And it's presented as this lifelong dream, but she is never seen really questioning why she wants to. Just that she would change things if she were in charge.

But, it's like, her connection to Crocker Corp is also tied to her agency, and it is initially presented as this ambitious career goal, suggesting that this girl knows what she wants in life and is going to make it happen. But we literally see her agency taken away by The Condesce (Thief of Life) when Jane is forced to become Crockertier. And it really puts into question whether she ever really had a choice at all. Cause as we see in the credits, she goes on to recreate Crocker Corp anyways.

Like, damn, Condesce really did successfully program Jane at the end. Because we haven't even talked about how Beta Jane was literally raised by her, and had to go through years of abuse. Alone, mind you, after Beta Jake runs away (oh look, how thematic of him lol).

Beta Jane does open a joke shop, so there is an underlying theme of being a business owner, but I think it's the lack of choice Alpha Jane is granted that's what's interesting. Because Jane could've possibly wanted a quiet life like her counterpart. But she isn't given that choice because she was thoroughly brainwashed into becoming the heir of Crocker Corp.

Roxy: Indie game designer or freelance programmer. I can't see her tethered to a job. She would defo be self-employed. She has also dabbled in fanfiction, and I can see her seeking a creative outlet (Very much inspired by her dead Mom's creative works.) Roxy putting their elite gaming and programming skills to use, such as designing games or being a sort of coding nomad, just makes the most sense to me.

Jake: Keeping in mind the Snapchat credits. I think Jake establishes Skaia Net and retires in his twenties. He would set himself up to go globe-trotting. But then he realizes he doesn't actually enjoy adventuring every day and returns home to establish a movie studio, opting instead to produce movies. Because this boy loves movies. He helps finance Dave's early directorial career.

Jane: I mean, she would defo become a CEO. That is her lifelong dream, baby. However, I think she would likely pursue it at such an early age that she would seek fulfillment elsewhere and turn to philanthropy. And then fund and lobby in the political environment. However, this backfires, and she ends up usurped in a corporate coup. Not taking it lying down, she decides to dig up dirt on her enemies and ends up uncovering a worldwide conspiracy. That's when she discovers her love for investigative journalism and makes a pivot. (I just really want gumshoe Jane lmao)

A lovable dork who is a bit of a tool who struggles to reject the hopeless suitor (Jane) as he chases the affection of the emotionally unavailable love interest (Dirk). All the while, he has to go through hoops and obstacles via the splinters.

And Roxy is the best friend who tries to keep their friend accountable and will also reluctantly listen to their relationship drama.

Even though you can tell they would really rather do anything else but that.

"i guess...." Is so telling lmao. (Once again proving that they are still anti-DirkJake, but a great friend.)

Like Ro-Lalonde is trying to sabotage Dirk's chances with Jake before they enter the session. They are doing everything they can to get Jane to confess, and even slips up to Jake, mentioning that Jane has feelings, in an attempt to force his hand. They push Jane so hard to get her to confess that they out Dirk.

Although unbeknownst to Roxy, Jake has his own subconscious desires at play (he calls Jane's feelings' unrequited,' to Roxy ffs), and AR is doing his own thing.

It's great cause Roxy and Jake are playing checkers, while AR is playing chess, lol. But ignoring that... While it does partly have to do with Jane being her best friend, it also has to do with the fact that she is trying to eliminate Dirk's options, bruh. They really are "The" anti-DirkJake shipper.

I mean, if we were to take the trickster stuff into account, and how the Juju brings out the worst traits of the Alphas, then it's sufficient to say they didn't, in fact, get over Dirk, and couldn't care less about his relationship with Jake. (Which, yeah, like, they mention even before then, that they didn't believe Dirk and Jake would ever work. Which is a fair observation, but also I can't help but think it's also something they've been banking on too.)

Like, Roxy still engages in a metaphorical SA moment with Dirk, where he repeatedly tells them no. And Jake describes their actions as someone trying to steal his boyfriend right from under him. (Also, again, these two needed more screen time. Like I think they can have some good interpersonal conflicts given the chance, and how they both have similar issues with cowardice.)

God, Roxy is such an interesting character because while the majority of fandom tries to make them out to be this toothless good guy. They're pretty selfish. Like a masterclass of evading responsibility and not owning up to their actions to the people they need to actually apologize to. Like they confess all this to Jake, but Roxy never actually talks to Dirk about it. And their other examples include when they blew up Jane's computer. Or not apologizing to Jane about how they told Jake her feelings, or apologizing to Dirk for outing him to Jane, or apologizing to Dirk about Rping with Ar after he told them to stop, and so on.
