I was watching the US Olympic Gymnastics Trials the other day. American gymnast Jake Dalton made me do a double-take. Why? Because he is exactly what I always pictured the Pike triplets to grow up looking like. I mean exactly. He's like a doppelganger of three fictional characters whose looks existed solely in my mind.

Except for Jake Dalton is way more muscular (obviously. I mean, he is a gymnast.) I always pictured Adam and Jordan as kind of scrawny throughout their lives. Byron is a little pudgier, because he's a stress eater.

Not that I've spent any time thinking about this or anything. 

For your pleasure, some pictures of Jake Dalton. (And it's not just him. The entire US men's team is sooo not-ugly.)

Niiiiiiice. I never did quite pictured BSC characters like you did, though, so this is an interesting depiction!

Picturing the triplets as pretty as this makes fanfic a lot more enjoyable ;)

Ahh, I got excited by the title of this post. I'm a sucker for anything Pike triplet related. :P

I can see Jake Dalton as an older JAB. A friend of mine pointed out Ryan Taylor as JAB for an rpg we were doing, so that's how I picture the triplets as teens/young adults when I'm reading and writing fanfiction.

Jake Dalton is 23 I think, it's not a bad face to imagine when reading Pike-fic :)

US gymnastics + Pike triplets= A+ post. I can definitely see the resemblance.

And Byron is so a stress eater/stress baker. :P

Did you watch any of the trials? I'm kind of in love with our men's team, though bummed Chris Brooks was left off to make room for Sam Mikulak's pommel horse routine :/

Poot Byron. It's the stress of being a closeted teenager that begins his lifelong habit of stress eating.

Gymnastics is my favorite Olympics event, and I watched the women's trials. I'm really happy Jordyn Wieber made the team. The line up is really good, and I hope we have a shot at winning gold. It's been too long.

I'll have to check out more of the men's team on YouTube or something!

He's not my mental Pike, but damn, I wouldn't mind them looking like that...

I know, right? I must just love the triplets so much that I made them super hot in my imagination.
