absolutely! best friends since havoc? double-handedly trying to revive the original movie musical? did both of them auditioning for and failing to get la la land finally push wingmen into happening? i'm in between a few different ideas of what he could be like but with the one i'm leaning towards, they have the controlling their own narrative thing in common even though jake tries to be more low key about it - he knows what people expect from him when they look at him so he plays into the hot dumb puppy thing to get the name recognition and financial security to produce the kind of work he really wants to be doing, thinking he'll have his own mcconaissance any day now, even though his own attempts at more serious fare have been questionable at best
