Hiiiii I Want To Hear About Your Thoughts With Jack And Death In Particular (your Posts Are Fascinating

hiiiii i want to hear about your thoughts with jack and death in particular (your posts are fascinating when youre dissecting him like a frog in a bio class <333333)

you're asking the right guy about this.

i think people forget that a huge part of jack's character is also in part how accepting and ready he is of death. he is pretty actively suicidal several points throughout the show!

going to sound insane here but i think the best showcase of jack's passive nature to his death is not in s15 where he's doing it in self-sacrifice. i think it is s14e20. moriah.

we watch jack actively kneel in front of dean. he tells him he understands. it mirrors back to s13e02. what is jack? he is a monster to himself. he is everything unnatural. unhuman nature is an episode title and it's all about jack. too angel to be human, too human to be angel, too wrong to be good. that's his own view! he welcomes death because he was never supposed to exist anyway! he's fine letting dean kill him there because he thinks dean deserves the chance of putting down another monster of the week.

dean doesn't. his free will wins and his love for jack wins. jack still dies, he just didn't die to the person he would prefer to die to.

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
