#{pre sequel}

This comic took too fucking long so I am just giving it how it is, feeling mad how Jack doesn't look like himself sjshwh

I got the idea cus I kept going around scavenging for one mission in Pre - Sequel and safes kept respawning money inside them. I got way quicker money in that game than in Borderlands 2 in span of first 20 minutes... Jack either saved the economy or made it worse,,,, who knows.....

And also I know New U stations aren't canon but what if </3 /silly

Also - I'm still happy with the backgrounds since they're most detailed I drew on phone yet, so

Blood Runs Through Tuhi "The longer she spent looking at Liselle, the more her wordless expression evolved from second to second. Surprise, relief, anger—all flickering by in the nothingness of her face."

First effort (2020) Three years have passed, Liselle's appearance has become completely different.

Now this work is perceived as a sketch, it has funny mistakes, plot and spatial. - plot salarian turned batarian - strange vehicle

Roland - Leslie Odom jr.

Lilith - Kate McKinnon

Mordecai - Richard Cabral

Brick - Dave Bautista

But like he didn't have to call you, tell tell you he had to restrain angel, what do people do when they're afraid of someone who could easily kill, she was a kid with powers she couldn't control and had just accidently killed her mother.

He had no one and some of this discussion has come from talking with @villainousqueenofhel , he was still more closer to John at the time, he did what he thought he at the time was right, he was probably afraid she'd kill him to, but he didn't wanna lose her.

Who the hell would be okay with suddenly becoming a widower and single father and it's because your child is acting on pure emotion out of fear, you can't reason with a screaming crying child until they calm down.

Im probably mixing some stuff into this rant from that one side mission in Bl3 and stuff from the pre sequel, god the portrayal of John's complete descent into the madness of (king) Jack mwah chefs kiss beautiful acting, that end speech from Jack fffff, Dameon that's just beautiful work there , just like his god damn hero speech.

Anyway back to my rambling , again none of the characters in bl2 are good , think about it you're like Jack you want to be the hero of this story as you play....killing shooting destroying, helping with clan wars...sure there's optional missions results but that's you getting to choose your own morals or you're going with the one that gets you the better gun cause Come on who the hell hasn't looked up who they should give it to for the better weapon.

But I just think it's interesting he calls your vault hunter, he wants you to understand, like in some way your opinion matters, like he's not proud of it and he's somewhat ashamed that he had to, of course the madness maybe he even saw it as them working on a project together....I do YES remember that he has that pissy fit about wanting the warrior now before someone tries to point that out.

Jack was absolutely not okay , he absolutely was toxic alot of the time but considering fucking circumstances, he was a prisoner of it, it's that whole inexcusable understandable thing again and no not everyone turns out like that but people handle things differently and not always for the better.

We don't know if he ever went back and apologized to her after that message, it's a piece that for all your Vault hunter knows has been completely taken out of context.

Jack Hates traitors, will fucking end them , but as you're helping Angel end her life, he's practically screaming who gives a crap about the key just leave her alone, gonna kill an innocent girl, tells angel he'll forgive her...

And then to the discussion pretty much about how the nearest fast travel is like at thousand cuts, she could have been blocking the signal or he could have been frantically fighting slabs or what ever to get there with loader bots in tail as he runs or makes his way there who knows might have even stolen a buzzard to get there .

Angel who's never had to live in the real world, who's watched through cameras and listening devices, Jack didn't know how to help her , at first the containment may have even been because he didn't know what to do but as time went on it twisted into having her help him charge the key, in his delusion who's to say he didn't see it like them working on a work project together, perhaps it's a stretch but it's also a possibility right?

But anyway she uses the word friend as much of a manipulation tactic as much as Jack would use it no doubt, she wants you to promise her that you'll kill him.

Now yes could be just because she hates him for everything, that's completely valid, I'm open to all interpretations.

Buuuuut what if she knew how sick he was, like the madness, the torment in him, the pain he thought he was hiding that only your child ever seems to notice of they see you enough, personally I can usually tell if my mums tired, sad or angry just from a sigh...so like yeah...you know small things, maybe she even partially wanted him to be free of everything...Jack was beyond help by the end of Borderlands 2 that there was no other way it could have ended.

He was never going to want help he couldn't trust anyone.... honestly considering pre sequel like three people just straight up betrayed him in one go.. Moxxie talks about kicking his plastic surgery ass to the curb.... um yeah one , Lilith half blinded him and severely fucked up his face , bitch you'd have work done to if it happened to your tits.... anyway my brain is just jumping everywhere this was supposed to be a post on the fact Jack actually wants to defend himself to you.

But in bl3 moxxie is all oh I was with him before he was Rich and it's like right but you wanted him to cash roll your casino, you're a serial cheater, plus when you want that casino the man has been dead seven years get over it sugar (it's perfectly fine if you like or love her btw these are just personal opinions) we all like to talk about Timothy probably being the one to be the one with the banging sex life , maybe that's just one of the things about Jack when he's actually in a relationship he keeps it to that one person.

Or he used to...him and Nisha were probably very complicated, or she laid down the rules of that relationship and was honest about the fact she'd fuck someone if she felt like it and that it was because she was honest and didn't lie , she wasn't always there Jack was busy he got it and handled it.

Jack never actually lies to you, for all his shittery he doesn't lie , even in the animal preserve he's like Why lie to them they know we're gonna mutate the hell out of them... okay I think I've rambles enough, all this shit just keeps going around in my head There's probably other things I've missed like how Jack said he was going to let the Merrif live but he had to kill him or he was gonna get killed.

And how it was the fact people kept betraying or trying to shoot him in the back when he tried to show mercy that he learned to never trust anyone and stuff...

Just like don't come on here though okay and be hating on me just because I find Jack's character interesting.

Yes he's trash I know but he's definitely complicated , fascinating, and definitely at times funny trash , still love him as a character though and filling in gaps with all these thoughts.
