Alright y'all, lemme be real fucking clear here
Jake Lockley is not evil, Jake Lockley is not "just a killer", Jake Lockley is not a bad person
Jake Lockley is a protector in a system that has been severely traumatized as a child and were not protected and taken care of like they should have been.
Yes, he seems more prone to violence than Marc or Steven, but that does not make him an evil, unfeeling person. He's doing what needs to be done to protect them. The times we know for absolute sure that he has shown up (episode 3 in Cairo, episode 6 in the final battle) have been times where the system was about to die. In episode 3, Marc had been knocked down/out by Harrow's followers, and when he comes back front they're on a cliff. It seems like Harrow's followers were about to throw the system off of a cliff, and Jake came front to protect them and keep them alive, and you'll notice that he left the teenager alive, and let Marc back front as soon as the immediate life-threatening danger had passed. In episode 6, Marc was again on the ground, after Harrow threw his worst trauma in his face, with his soul being pulled out of his body, and Layla was surrounded by Harrow's men. Again, Jake fronted to save their life, and then stepped back once the immediate threat to their life was handled
He is not a cold-blooded killer, he's a protector doing his best to keep their system alive when there are people actively trying to fucking murder them
Stop writing him as this cold, hard, unfeeling person. Stop writing him as participating in senseless violence just because he wants to
You are doing a disservice to Jake as a character, and you are waving a bright red flag over your head that tells systems "hey I don't know what I'm talking about but I'm going to perpetuate harmful stereotypes because it's fun for me!"
Fucking. Stop. It.

I can’t help. But it would be great if someone else would
The way I’ll make this Masquerade
Characters that have never experienced affection before, or haven’t experienced it in a long time, finally getting to experience it? Top tier.
Said character freezing up for a second, not really knowing how to respond, but not wanting it to stop? T o p t i e r.
Said character trying to clumsily return the affection in their own way, because this is Good and they don’t want it to stop? T O P T I E R.
These two scenes have the exact same energy and I absolutely hate it!

Bakugan fans, I delivered on my promise. I wrote the story where Alice and Masquerade are separate people after BBB and now they're living their lives as "adopted" siblings. This is just the first chapter of at least twenty.

I made Masquerade VERY dramatic in this fic. Like, he won’t calm down. I love him.
Alright. Fuck it. I’m writing a fic where Alice and Masquerade become separate identities after BBB and they have a sibling/mentor relationship. I want to see them bond.
