Brooklyn Nine-Nine Meme: [5/6] Jake and Amy moments

There’s a lead on the Nightingale strangler. We’re looking for a white male, 5'10", medium build, brown hair, small scar on his right cheek. His M.O. is he finds lonely women with no friends, poisons their food, and then guts them in his van. It’s pretty gnarly. Last seen wearing a salmon shirt, gray blazer, and witnesses have said he has trouble fitting lettuce in his mouth. Okay, where are you? Apparently has the world’s smallest penis and doesn’t know how to use it.

7 reasons why Jake Peralta is awesome, as explained by phil-the-stone:

1. He’s an inherently feminist character and it’s completely normalized. He treats his female coworkers as equals, and respects the hell out of them. Also, he has some pretty awesome platonic friendships with Rosa and Gina, and Platonic Only m/f friendships are v hard to come by in today’s media content

Okay hansolosbutt you asked for a list of reasons why Jake Peralta is amazing so you could give it to ur Mom and I’m HERE TO DELIVER bc quite frankly, if she’s only seen the pilot I can see why she’d dislike him.

OKAY.

1) he’s an inherently feminist character and it’s completely normalized. He treats his female coworkers as equals, and respects the hell out of them. Also, he has some pretty awesome platonic friendships with Rosa and Gina, and Platonic Only m/f friendships are v hard to come by in today’s media content

2) while usually despite his childish shenanigans he doesn’t really say anything particular offensive or gross, the few times he screws up he’s always ready to learn why what he said was Not Okay and grow and accept his screwing up and NOT DO IT AGAIN. This is really super important bc too often in comedy especially writers try to get away with sexist, racist, or otherwise nasty “jokes” by pawning them off to the signature “childish” “inappropriate” or “vulgar/out there” character, and yet never make an effort to correct the character when those comments are made, thus perpetuating the normality of those nasty comments. NOT THE CASE HERE, LADIES AND GENTS, and it is so, so nice. Jake’s always ready to learn when he’s crossed the line (which he actually RARELY does) and everyone else is ready to call him out

3) he’s not your typical suave attractive ~~~“male fantasy”~~~ hero type? Idk how to explain this coherently it’s really late but. He’s not Tough. He’s not brooding or angsty or edgy. He’s fun and goofy and a total Dork most of the time, and he’s got a big nose and a soft tummy and occasionally jumps into Terry’s outstretched arms. He’s also sensitive and emotionally vulnerable and, while in no way incapable of doing his job (which involves a certain degree of badassery) he does have a number of “traditionally feminine” character traits. And that’s shown as Completely Normal and a good thing, which is SUPER IMPORTANT.

4) while he did have kind of a shitty childhood, it’s stated by other characters (reminding him and the viewers) several times throughout the show that he’s still pretty privileged compared to a lot of other people, and he knows and accepts that

5) even though he’s almost pathetically in love with Amy since basically episode one, he doesn’t feel entitled to her in any way shape or form and when he doesn’t ask her out on time and she’s happy dating another guy he distinctly states that it’s her life and her choice and he’s happy that she’s happy (even though he’s metaphorically dying internally but nbd)

6) he punched his childhood hero in the face for making homophobic comments about Holt that one time

7) he’s a goofy ball of sunshine okay like yeah he comes off as a tiny bit of a jerk in the first two episodes but his character grows so much and is actually an amazing cinnamon roll and I love him s O m cu h save me
