A Lil' Sth Because I Adore Jack ;-; | Sketch/redraw Of A Screenshot From One Of The Episodes ~

(trying to explain babyjack in the destiel language so they can understand what I’m saying)

so you see it’s like if dean’s one-off improvised “baby in a trench coat” comment to cas in 6x19 got taken far too literally and everyone decided that either Cas or the show would be better off as an actual baby in a trench coat being babysat by Sam and Dean instead of being a former angel of the lord and later member of team free will. so they completely ignore his actual character and relationship dynamics to keep the baby thing going, make it almost entirely impossible to enjoy or engage with any content about him because it’s all nothing but the same baby-Cas being babysat drivel and there’s no sign of nuanced discussion to be seen.

maybe it gets switched up with Bobby as the babysitting uncle instead of Sam and Dean but that’s as different as it’ll ever get. eventually trench baby Cas gets so over-saturated within the fandom that it becomes regarded and touted as the show’s own gospel truth instead of the silly fandom joke it started as. destiel is of course completely nonexistent, because Cas is a baby and dean is his babysitter-dad and that’s weird, right?

but if you try to say “hey no, that’s actually a grown ass gay man who loves dean romantically and he’s an equal part of the family, this baby stuff was never real and the canon textual evidence actually shows he’s a grown ass gay man who loves dean,” you’ll get thrown in the corner with a shame collar because everyone is still so insistent that their baby-being-babysat dynamic is the real textual deal. mmkay?

HOLY WOW

hi this was finished months ago I’m just lazy sorry

don’t have anything coherent to say so have an assortment of old shitposts . The usual

need him in a way. not telling you which one

Do you think that because Jack is Lucifer’s son, he was able to sense that Sam is his true vessel and that’s why he called him father? Sam probably felt familiar to him, like how dogs can always recognize their moms, even after months/years without them. I’m sure that’s why he gravitated towards Sam physically more than anything, even if he tries to copy Dean. Jack is trying to be good, so of course he’d copy the Michael Sword rather than Lucifer’s true vessel.

it's literally so insane to me like jack is introduced calling sam father. he's the son of lucifer. his relationship with sam is directly tied with fatherhood. he's like sam in all the ways that put him at odds with his father figures growing up and throughout the show. he specifically chooses be his caretaker on the basis of trying to do better by child who is like him. jack's textually referred to as sam's son by other people and by himself and by jack and by his actual father lucifer and they have a confrontation about it literally part of the plot hinges on the conflict between jack being sam's son and lucifer's (sam's tormentor) son. like. being jack's father has narrative significance to sam. if anything the show refering to dean as jack's dad is a favor to him as the ProtagonistTM. we DID watch a completely different show godbless

I don't know if this is an unpopular or rare perspective on Jack, and I'm a huge over-analyzer, but I think that he purposefully makes himself more naive as a way of making himself likeable/less intimidating.

Like at first he's genuinely new to everything and doesn't understand what's going on, but I think he starts "masking" fairly early as he notices people react well to certain things and react poorly to others.

An example that stands out to me is his expression and the way he holds himself.

At the start, he has a "scary" expression reminiscent of the Kubrick stare. His head is tilted down, chin in, and eyes furrowed. It seems to be his default state, as he reverts to it when he's overwhelmed or just focused strongly on something else, like when he uses his powers.

However, at the police station he ends up getting his first positive feedback (lack of fear/nervous response) from his body language

Being down on the ground, he looks up at the officer and ends up with his head tilted up and his eyes unfurrowed. With his mouth full his expression also changes compared to how slack his face was before.

Then when he wakes up in the cell with Sam, he's back to his normal expression and angry about Sam tazing him, and Sam apologizes and explains why.

What's interesting to me is what Jack does next -

He sits crosslegged like he did earlier, despite being on a bench, and apologizes back. Because he just learned from Sam that if you hurt someone and regret it and want them to forgive you, you apologize and explain why it happened.

And he gets into the last pose that worked for him - legs crossed and tilting his head up, because it makes him look less threatening. And it works, it relieves some of Sam's obvious fear.

(part 1)
