so easily swayed

I have been asked before about the things I like about Jack, and I wrote a HUGE post about it only for the tumblr browser to refresh and make me lose everything I had written so it made me unmotivated for the longest time to write it down all over again 😭This time I took the precautions... *cracks knuckles*

His very first defining personality trait when we meet him is that he seems cold and blunt. And while that trait might drive other people away, it draws me in. This is probably obvious by now, but I've always had a thing for edgy and serious characters… 🤤 The whole "I don't need friends" attitude implies some level of emotional constipation, and the more unapproachable they are, the more it makes me want to poke at them. Like ok mr edgy guy why do you push people away!! Why do you prefer being alone?? I need to know!!

HIS SENSE OF JUSTICE. Additionally, I have ALWAYS loved characters with a strong sense of justice. Maintaining a high moral code and actually sticking to it consistently is difficult and genuinely admirable. I will never not get weak in the knees when he helps people in danger (THaT SCENE IN THE FIRST EPISODE OF THE ANIME WHEN HE LITERALY SHIELDS TWO NPCS WITH HIS OWN BODY) like a superhero… 🥹

The way he's so loyal and dependable… He shot straight into my favs after book 3 because he stood by Yuu's side THE ENTIRE TIME even though he had absolutely NO REASON TO and gained NOTHING from it. No ulterior motive, no personal benefit, just a pure and noble instinct to make sure they were safe. He offered Yuu and Grim shelter when they had nowhere to sleep (if I remember correctly book 3 takes place in november so it must have been freezing too) Idk this is just so huge to me. Imagine being magicless, your home gets seized, you have no money, and your friends already have too much on their plate to help, so you feel completely and utterly helpless. I don't know about you guys, but I would be freaking out. So Jack stepping in at that exact moment when nobody else could, genuinely felt angelic to me. I wish people gave him more credit for that.

I finally have the time to submit this!! This was made on August but I was so busy with school work >~
