#speaking of brooke and plants: thai constellation monstera feels like a brooke plant

[lohstandfound]

brooke & jake 5 7 11?

5. A has to get B a [birthday/christmas/whatever] gift. right now. what would they get? how long would they spend thinking about it?

hmm... i reckon sometimes jake has a hard time figuring out what to get someone as a gift. he'd take a while trying to figure out what brooke would like and every time he ends up getting her a plant of some sort (brooke adores them every time)

(brooke feels like the type of person who would buy/collect something just because it reminds her of someone, so she frequently has gifts for everyone)

7. are there any habits, mannerisms, practices etc. A does because of B? anything they do because they saw B doing it, or got advice from them about it, or something rubbed off on them? alternately, are there any little things B does that annoy them?

they finish each other's sentences /j

i think they would both be very touchy- or brooke is a very touchy person and jake definitely does not complain

i like to think jake has an inability to stay still for long periods of time, and i like to think he likes to keep his hands busy so he has this habit of tapping things (his pen on the table, drumming his fingers, etc) and sitting next to jake tapping his pen on the desk for an entire period would probably be enough to annoy brooke

i have forgotten everything i have ever thought but they are siblings your honor, they 100% annoy each other as such

11. what's something A knows about B that most people don't? alternately, what's something most people believe about B that A doesn't?

once again forgotten every single opinion i have ever had about either of these characters

but i have this concept that jake is protective/secretive of his writing and such (poetry, stories, etc), and you would have to be extremely lucky to be able to read something he's written

an extension of this- brooke and jake often have shared an english class with each other. they're frequently peer review partners and brooke has read a lot of his writing. english class and writing was one of the first things they realised they had in common that did not involve chloe. and it partially contributed to brooke examining her feelings and begin to not resent jake. i have Thoughts but they are not articulating at all

(poets fic jake and brooke >>>>)
