I love my angry little man

anyway. can we talk about jack and the love he shows for his mom in increasingly devastating ways through the years? it isn’t surprising to me as she’s the one constantly present person in his life up until 1914, but listen. listen to me. he was sixteen. he was sixteen and his home just got shot to hell, he watched uncle die in front of him, he watched his father send them off with the intent to sacrifice himself so they could get away safely— and the first thing he does when they ride back and find his body is hold abigail while she cries.

he was sixteen years old and instead of having any sort of big reaction himself to what you could argue is the most traumatic event of his life, he immediately goes to console his mother. and we Know how bitter and angry sixteen year old jack is, but he doesn’t go after ross until abigail is gone. he doesn’t throw his life away and become exactly the man she did everything to save him from being until she doesn’t have to see it.

his thought process just breaks my heart there. he was only a kid but he saw his mother was heartbroken and he pushed aside everything he must’ve been feeling to take care of her. and if in littler ways, he’s Been doing that since he was a kid. jack’s nearly unrecognizable from his 1899/1907 self in 1911, but i see him hugging his mother while she cries over the death of her husband and i can’t think of anything but that little boy that made her a flower necklace just because he found some pretty flowers.

I followed part of the reference, but a friend served as my model for the hands

I'm going to render this soon
