What zodiac sign is Jake from Brooklyn 99?

Hello, Astrology lovers! So, if you’re into Astrology, then you know it’s Capricorn season! For all of the Capricorns out there reading this, please enjoy your time to shine. For everyone else, your time is coming up. As such, I decided to subjectively decide what character from the hit (former FOX series, now NBC series) Brooklyn Nine-Nine you are based on your Zodiac sign.

Aries: Terry Jeffords

Terry Jeffords is one of my favorites on the show. He has a lot of different parts to his personality, and I switched him around a lot before I settled on Aries. Like other Aries, Terry is extremely courageous and determined, sticking purely to his guns. He is very buff and works out frequently to stay in shape. However, he can also be impatient and short-tempered, being able to jump to his guns quickly and efficiently. 

Taurus: Norm Scully

Norm Scully, commonly known as Scully, is an interesting character. One of the oldest officers, he doesn’t do much around the precinct anymore. He is almost always accompanied by his best friend, Michael Hitchcock. Like Tauruses, he is devoted and patient, willing to wait a while for things to be completed. However, he also hates change, is stubborn, and is uncompromising. 

Gemini: Jake Peralta

Geminis, you’re Jake Peralta for one simple reason – canonically, so is he! In one of the episodes, he lets it slip that he is a Gemini. He’s very much a Gemini in his traits as well – he’s extremely outgoing and intelligent as well as very adaptable to different situations. However, he’s unreliable, nosy and extremely impulsive. He’s the central character of the show, so be happy you’ve got him! 

Cancer: Charles Boyle

Charles Boyle is a sweet little angel who deserves nothing but love in the world. Boyle is fiercely loyal to Jake Peralta, his best friend, and will do (almost) anything and everything Jake asks. He is also highly emotional and sympathetic, which can be a good thing or a bad thing. That being said, he can also be moody and insecure. 

Leo: Michael Hitchcock

Michael Hitchcock is an interesting character, to say the least. The oldest detective in the precinct – and the most collars in the history of the Nine-Nine – he has a lot to be proud of. Like other Leos, he is passionate and cheerful, even though he may not be the most hardworking. Hitchcock, like other Leos, has a large ego and is very careful of it. Despite having low compatibility, his best friend in the precinct, Scully, is Taurus. 

Virgo: Amy Santiago

Amy Santiago is known for her impeccable standards and area. She has everything neatly organized by the letter and is incredibly intelligent. As a Virgo, she is fiercely loyal and analytical, being sure of every calculation. She is made fun of by her peers for this in the precinct, but they are ultimately grateful for her attention to detail. However, like Virgos, she is all work and no play and is very self-critical. Santiago, really, is just one big ball of hard work and good intentions, and Virgos should be grateful to have her as their star sign. 

Libra: Madeline Wuntch 

Madeline Wuntch, for a lot of people, is the unofficial antagonist of the Nine-Nine. She is in a fierce rivalry with Captain Holt, angry at him for refusing her advances back in the day (he did so because he was, and is, gay). When speaking to the Nine-Nine and other departments, despite her dislike of them, she speaks in a very diplomatic tone, similar to Libras. She can also be very cooperative when the time is right. However, she can definitely hold a grudge (see her hatred of Captain Holt) and occasionally can be indecisive. She remains a humorous character when she appears on screen, causing a great back-and-forth between her and Captain Holt.

Scorpio: Rosa Diaz

Rosa Diaz’s personality can only be properly described as fiery. She’s quick to fight, and that makes her an excellent detective in a shootout. She is extremely resourceful, like other Scorpios, always seeming to have knives and weapons on her person.  She is exceptionally brave, which makes her an excellent detective, and can also be very stubborn. However, she is certainly secretive, as no one in the precinct knows anything about her, and she would like to keep it that way. She can also very much be violent, which can sometimes be harmful in her career. 

Sagittarius: Gina Linetti

Oh, Gina Linetti, a legend for the ages. Linetti always manages to have the most amazing lines and considers herself to be one the of the most fantastic people on Earth. She is idealistic, like other Sagittarians, and also has an incredible sense of humor. However, she is also very impatient and will say anything even if it will escalate a situation. Linetti is probably the most iconic person on this list, and it’s an honor to share a sign with her.

Capricorn: Captain Raymond Holt 

Captain Raymond Holt is the first openly gay and black captain of the Nine-Nine, and he does it with style. He is shown to express very little emotion, but he is a very good captain. Like other Capricorns, he is very responsible and has incredible self-control. However, he can certainly be a know-it-all in fields he knows a lot of and can, on occasion, be condescending. Holt’s character is both big in the canon of the Brooklyn Nine-Nine, but also important in representation of real life. 

Aquarius: Doug Judy

Doug Judy is the only active criminal on the list. He’s the famous Pontiac Bandit, a car thief that has only stolen, you guessed it – Pontiac cars. Judy is a friend of Peralta, a friendship that was created after Judy escaped him three or four times. Aquarius is also my sign, and I am very happy to share a star sign with him. Judy can be definitely described as original and independent, two of the core personality traits of Aquariuses. However, Judy certainly runs away from emotional expression – he is a criminal, after all – and can be aloof. 

Pisces: Kevin Cozner

Kevin is Captain Holt’s husband, and while he is rarely an occurring character, when he does appear he is very funny and is a source of comfort to Holt. Kevin is incredibly compassionate and artistic, as he is the head of the Classics Department at Colombia University. However, Kevin can also be fearful, and he worries over Holt’s job and Holt’s safety. Kevin is a very fun character when he appears, and Pisces should be happy to share a sign with him. 

I hope you all enjoyed this funny little list, readers! Are you happy with your choice of character? Is there anyone you would have switched around? Let me know!

Astrology is fun. This is coming from a Gemini whose horoscope is never right. This aside, I thought it would be fun to combine a fun hobby with one of my favorite shows. (Mostly, thought, it's because I just finished Season 5 and am currently having withdrawals.) With that, here's your fav NYPD Precinct described using zodiac signs.

**Just a quick shoutout to NBC for saving this gem of a show. Also, if astrology bugs, you should go watch this show anyway because there's representation and it makes me cackle on a regular basis.**

Lord knows this boy is always on his Aries bullshit. Whether it's lighting things on fire, being an unknown level of impulsive or making everything into a competition, he always finds a way to make it Aries season.

A classic Virgo: everything has its place, and, if it isn't in its place, then the world might as well burst into flames. While kind and hardworking, she's overly critical of others, but, most of all, herself. And no, you can't borrow her pens--you're just gonna mess them up.

If you ain't talking your credit score, I don't wanna talk. Captain Holt makes sure that practical matters are prioritized above all else. What's the line between discipline and condescending? Capricorns don't care. They draw the friggin' line.

Charles' undying loyalty to his friends makes him a textbook Cancer. Especially his unconditional love to Jake. Only a Cancer would willingly get frosted tips to match and support their best friend.

Reliable, patient and kick-ass. Maybe she won't open up to you emotionally, but Rosa is one of the best long-term friends you could have. Don't freak her out though, y'all, this girl is an earth sign; any sudden change will get you a punch in the throat.

The Libra is cooperative and diplomatic, perfect for being a Sergeant as well as the voice of reason for the rest of the squad. Lord knows that he can draw inspiration from anything, be it a good book, puzzle or a yogurt.

While creative and passionate, Leos are stubborn and will often refuse to comply with others if they are not being actively praised or admired. Makes sense as to why Gina does everything on her own terms. You will always see this girl come out on top.

Whether you think astrology is a literal science or complete bs, there's no doubt that it's fun to talk about. Go watch "Brooklyn Nine-Nine," it's on Hulu and is absolutely wonderful. And, as a bonus, I'm pretty sure Hitchcock and Scully are two halves of Gemini twins. Ya know, they just eat more and like to take their clothes off.

Student Life

It used to be that if you loved comic books, video games, books, or the like, you get shoved into a locker by a member of the football team or a cheerleader. And if you also didn’t do their homework, you’re marked as a social outcast for the rest of your school life...if you weren’t already one anyway. But nowadays that seems to have taken a rather big change. Now if you don’t like this certain pop franchise, you’ve been living under a rock or not "hip" with current trends per se. Or if your opinion/level of knowledge isn’t the same as the majorities, you’re not a true fan or some other derogatory word and you should go die; the internet’s words, not mine.

(Somehow, that's a tame insult from the internet.)

Admittedly, it’s not hard to see why. Let’s look.

Back in the day, it was the norm that if you weren’t a straight, athletic white male, you weren’t that accepted in society; nor would pop culture admit you exist by not having representation. This was lessened if you were a white woman or African-American but even then…well, let’s just say every stereotype tends to start in the media. And that’s not even getting into the LGBTQ+ community.

Because of this, once the internet started getting big, many of these people turned to the internet for shelter and comfort. One of the sites many people turned to was Tumblr. But that came at a price; so many of these people became so territorial of their love for their franchises that they began to insult others and scowl at anything they deemed heresy. And those people were nothing but evil.

One big example is the shipping wars.

Shipping is derived from the ‘ship’ in ‘relationship’. Shipping is believing two characters belong in a romantic relationship. For example, if you believe that Peter Parker aka Spider-Man should be with MJ Watson, you ship them. But because of the who took to Tumblr for shelter, many people started shipping in a homosexual way. That’s not a bad thing by any means, but that meant those shippers became so protective of their ships that anyone that disagreed with them or shipped in a heterosexual way, were deemed homophobic and got insults, death threats and the like. Now, we’ve become the bullies. But instead of shoving people into lockers, we threaten to end their lives…for little more than a disagreement.

What zodiac sign is Jake from Brooklyn 99?

Of course, the existence of trolls and people who get offended too easily or just for the sake of getting offended hasn’t exactly helped that point; since many of those homosexual shippers fell into their trap hook, line, and sinker.

What happened? We used to hold our status of "geeks" with pride. But now, it seems like we’re now the ones that shove people into lockers. I get that you were bullied for being different. So was I; but now that difference is the new norm. And it seems we’re taking advantage of that in the worst way. We shouldn’t be like this. Let us be better people.

If you're lucky enough to be a mom or dad to a Brussels Griffon, you know you can relate to the following:

1. "Is that a baby pug?"

What zodiac sign is Jake from Brooklyn 99?

Um, no. Not even close. If you own a Petite Brabancon—aka a short hair Griffon—you get this on the reg.

2. Your pupperoni likes to be held like a baby, literally.

What zodiac sign is Jake from Brooklyn 99?

You know grabbing your dog by the tummy and holding them like some sort of peasant pup is a big no no. Brussels Griffons like you to support their little butts and use your arm like a cradle—just like a human baby. It's even better when they take their front paws and wrap their little arms around your neck. *swoon*

3. Hearing your little furry best friend snore might just be the cutest thing in the world.

What zodiac sign is Jake from Brooklyn 99?

SO. PRECIOUS. And they're probably just dreaming about you holding them.

4. But it's even better to hear your dog bark.

What zodiac sign is Jake from Brooklyn 99?

Your Griffon's bark is so tiny and soft that you've had people accuse you of taking out their voice box. Um, no. They come like that. Pint-sized.

5. Your dog does not play well with others. (Unless it's another Brussels Griffon.)

What zodiac sign is Jake from Brooklyn 99?

All that cuteness comes with a side of snob. Brussels Griffons usually only love their own kind. Being in a #GriffonGang is a very exclusive club.

6. But they still think they can hang with the big dogs.

What zodiac sign is Jake from Brooklyn 99?

Every Griffon owner has that panicky moment when their little pupper tries to playfully bite a Great Dane, Mastiff, or other loveable large doggo. You know it could be over in two seconds.

7. You know their favorite seat in the house is your lap.

What zodiac sign is Jake from Brooklyn 99?

They are the definition of a velcro dog.

8. If you weren't into beards before adopting, you definitely are now.

What zodiac sign is Jake from Brooklyn 99?

A Brussels' beard is just about the cutest little thing on Earth. They look like little old men.

9. You know that your dog is right on the line of really really ugly and really really cute.

What zodiac sign is Jake from Brooklyn 99?

Some days, you probably can't even decide yourself. (Just kidding, they are the cutest things to ever walk this Earth.)

10. You get told that your dog looks like Chewbacca/Gremlin/Alien/E.T./Dobby the House Elf ALL. THE. TIME.

What zodiac sign is Jake from Brooklyn 99?

They've definitely got a unique look. But it's one that melts your heart.

11. You've wasted your time trying to train them.

What zodiac sign is Jake from Brooklyn 99?

Brussels Griffons are the best dogs in the world if you're looking for a cuddle buddy and loyal companion. But they're a little bit stubborn. They'd rather have an hour long cuddling session on the couch than for you to try and get their rear ends to sit.

12. But you know they are as smart as can be.

What zodiac sign is Jake from Brooklyn 99?

Just because they don't like to be trained, doesn't mean they aren't smart little creatures. You know your Griffon is clever as can be. Whether it's convincing you to feed them more food, finding the best nap spot, or discovering the best little nook in the backyard, there's no doubt they are the sharpest tool in the small dog shed.

13. You know "the look."

What zodiac sign is Jake from Brooklyn 99?

Your dog always looks at you as if it's judging you. It's just their face.

14. Your dog has the biggest personality.

What zodiac sign is Jake from Brooklyn 99?

Small things come in big packages is right. You swear your dog is a literal human. Their faces let them show every thought they're thinking. So. Cute.

15. You love telling people all about Brussels Griffons.

What zodiac sign is Jake from Brooklyn 99?

Since adopting, you've basically become a spokesperson for the breed. The world would be a better place with more Griffons, for sure.

16. And you instantly bond when you meet another Brussels Griffon mom or dad.

What zodiac sign is Jake from Brooklyn 99?

You've started full-blown friendships just from sharing the same dog breed.

17. You could never ever imagine your life without them.

What zodiac sign is Jake from Brooklyn 99?

A Brussels Griffon is a life-long friend. They are truly the definition of perfection. They instantly fill your heart with so much joy and love.

18. Adopting him or her was the best decision you ever made.

What zodiac sign is Jake from Brooklyn 99?

Best. Friends. Forever.

Most days are 12+ hours starting at the break of dawn and not ending until the late night but I wouldn't trade a minute of it. Days might include during a scene 8 different times in 4 different camera angles all while doing mundane acts like walking back and forth on set or eating a burger. Some days if you’re lucky you can be featured, meaning definite airtime, and that’s just doing the same mundane things all while trying not to look at the big black camera that’s about 5-10 feet away.

Now I am by no means downplaying ANY of this because this is my dream job. They aren't kidding when they say its "movie magic". To see how the whole crew works tirelessly to set up one scene and in a matter of minutes tear the whole thing down and set up for another or how the camera men work with the people in lighting to get the right lens flare or move around the cast to get the perfect shot. There's just so much that goes on behind the camera that brings the whole production together.

If I'm being honest, the hardest part about being an extra is keeping a straight face. If you're filming a scared or sad scene, the first few takes might be easy to keep the façade up but on take 12, there's only so much head shaking and pouting that you can do before you crack. But I don't even have to think about the best part of being on set, it’s definitely the food! I know what you're thinking, what about seeing yourself on screen or the finished product? That my friends, comes in a VERY close second. The food that they cater to the background is what dreams are made of. In all my experiences, I haven't come across a bad catering.

What zodiac sign is Jake from Brooklyn 99?

My advice to anyone wanting to go into background work is, GO FOR IT. It's the funnest job I've ever had, the days aren't easy, and the work isn't consistent, but the experiences on set are the best memories I could ask for. I've met some of my favorite actors and actresses while on set and have even been fortunate enough to have made a quick appearance on one of my favorite shows, so what more could I ask for?

You suck for being a sucky boyfriend first and for most.

Just because I came before her doesn't give you an excuse.

You can't have your cake and eat it to.

Because of you, I know exactly who your girlfriend is or was. Mainly, because I have to look at her page to see if you're lying about your most recent break up. She is pretty, and skinny, and I envy her in every way. I envy her, because she has you, but you're so awful to her.

I know I shouldn't entertain you, but no one sees my side. They don't know how much you beg me, and pinky promise that you are single. Then I end up caving in, because I have feelings too. Just in time, for you guys to work everything out, and get back together: if you were ever even broken up at all.

It's just like clock work. As soon, as I fill the void that you left, you start trying to come back.

I get that it shouldn't be hard to ignore you, but it is. I haven't built my wall high enough just yet to keep you out. I shouldn't have to avoid someone I am so completely invested in, because I'm not their main priority. I'm not sure yet why I wasn't enough for you but I am constantly reminded of it rather it be your cute post about your appreciation and "love" for her or running into the both of you out at the bars. You're someone I can't hide from in this small town no matter how hard I try.

But from here on out, I hope you guys live a happy life. I pray that one day you become the amazing man she sees you as now. I hope you live up to every standard she thinks you're fulfilling already. I hope she never has to see the side of you that I have these past few months.

I truly hope you the best with or without her.
