Someone looking for Their Place in Life

come closer anon,

while there’s obviously no solid mention lol, building J’s characterization and habits is always good for the Jessa.

not thinking about them as much in the context of the video (shocking I know), I’m mostly just rotating the team/family dynamic of the squad and how it builds J to be this almost thankless older sibling. Someone who has to cover up the horrors of their actual reality while also being “naive” herself. Yes I’m taking that Santa joke and extrapolating it - J deserves to not worry and be whimsical too.

Key things I’m looking at and twisting in my jessa addled mind:

1. We know J has an awful attitude. Often times people see Tessas own personality and go “how did they get along.” Among other reasons I’ve already mentioned- being the closest two at the manor, Tessa was probably the only person to see that silly relaxed side of J. And it makes me scream

2.

whatever I’m normal, I’m so normal

3. J’s penchant for wanting to hang out with human skeletons made me feel some sort of way.

4. Her staring listlessly, perturbed even, over desecrated bodies… also made me feel some sort of way.

I have managed to nail an interview so well I heard back from them about an hour after the interview! it was an offer letter!

Tessa scampers off to the kitchen leaving J sitting in the living room surrounded by Tessa’s adoptive father and siblings. They were smiling, laughing, chuckling, and all having a good time. As soon as Tessa leaves the room all their heads suddenly shift to look directly at J with scowls. J sort of shrinks into herself in a bit of shocked fear.

Sister 2: “you treat Tessa good you hear?”

Brother: “no scratch on Tessa. No zingle scratch!”

Sister 1: “or ve rip you limb from limb!”

Tessa: “ok i’m back!”
