I Don't Know If This Is An Unpopular Or Rare Perspective On Jack, And I'm A Huge Over-analyzer, But I

I don't know if this is an unpopular or rare perspective on Jack, and I'm a huge over-analyzer, but I think that he purposefully makes himself more naive as a way of making himself likeable/less intimidating.

Like at first he's genuinely new to everything and doesn't understand what's going on, but I think he starts "masking" fairly early as he notices people react well to certain things and react poorly to others.

An example that stands out to me is his expression and the way he holds himself.

At the start, he has a "scary" expression reminiscent of the Kubrick stare. His head is tilted down, chin in, and eyes furrowed. It seems to be his default state, as he reverts to it when he's overwhelmed or just focused strongly on something else, like when he uses his powers.

However, at the police station he ends up getting his first positive feedback (lack of fear/nervous response) from his body language

Being down on the ground, he looks up at the officer and ends up with his head tilted up and his eyes unfurrowed. With his mouth full his expression also changes compared to how slack his face was before.

Then when he wakes up in the cell with Sam, he's back to his normal expression and angry about Sam tazing him, and Sam apologizes and explains why.

What's interesting to me is what Jack does next -

He sits crosslegged like he did earlier, despite being on a bench, and apologizes back. Because he just learned from Sam that if you hurt someone and regret it and want them to forgive you, you apologize and explain why it happened.

And he gets into the last pose that worked for him - legs crossed and tilting his head up, because it makes him look less threatening. And it works, it relieves some of Sam's obvious fear.

(trying to explain babyjack in the destiel language so they can understand what I’m saying)

so you see it’s like if dean’s one-off improvised “baby in a trench coat” comment to cas in 6x19 got taken far too literally and everyone decided that either Cas or the show would be better off as an actual baby in a trench coat being babysat by Sam and Dean instead of being a former angel of the lord and later member of team free will. so they completely ignore his actual character and relationship dynamics to keep the baby thing going, make it almost entirely impossible to enjoy or engage with any content about him because it’s all nothing but the same baby-Cas being babysat drivel and there’s no sign of nuanced discussion to be seen.

maybe it gets switched up with Bobby as the babysitting uncle instead of Sam and Dean but that’s as different as it’ll ever get. eventually trench baby Cas gets so over-saturated within the fandom that it becomes regarded and touted as the show’s own gospel truth instead of the silly fandom joke it started as. destiel is of course completely nonexistent, because Cas is a baby and dean is his babysitter-dad and that’s weird, right?

but if you try to say “hey no, that’s actually a grown ass gay man who loves dean romantically and he’s an equal part of the family, this baby stuff was never real and the canon textual evidence actually shows he’s a grown ass gay man who loves dean,” you’ll get thrown in the corner with a shame collar because everyone is still so insistent that their baby-being-babysat dynamic is the real textual deal. mmkay?

You let your brother call you a whore????

I’ve had very many partners in the past, so we both refer to me as a whore in an endearing way

I can see AlCal doing all of these and it makes me giggle

I kind of wish they had kept certain devily things about Jack. Like how when Kelly was pregnant with him she would burn when she held a bible. Like the juxtaposition of him being so innocent and ✋🙂 ‘hi I’m Jack!’ and then a bible literally lighting itself on on fire and burning in his hands and him being like ‘🙂… huh. Well that’s weird.’

Like I get none of this happens to him because it shows he’s good and not like Lucifer but I just think it would be a cute & funny contrast to him being so clearly adorable to also “oh I can’t wear the priest collars like my Dad’s do. They immediately try and choke the life out of me. Crazy right?!”

Or like the cross thing that Lucifer. He has to keep fixing the ones he passes when he’s working a case in a home so the home owners don’t notice and freak out. Whispering for the crosses with little tortured men on them to “stay!” As he backs away from it. ✝️👀

“How do churches do that thing? Like you know, the thing where the air shifts when you come inside like it’s trying to suffocate you a little bit and there’s like a constant invisible force trying to push you toward the exit? …. It’s just me again, isn’t it?”

Or asking if it’s possible he’s allergic to holy water because it makes him break out into welts when it accidentally gets on him. Dean’s like “…yeah. Allergies. 👀 that’s what it is.”
