ALWAYS GETS WORSE

(( i have no idea when this was sent forgive me ;v;

you should come to my main blog at templeofthought for occasional jack content

also i feel a need to post his entire dumb backstory at some point for posterity ))

jack KNOOOOWS he isnt pleasant on the eyes (once you take off his everything). he has extensive damaging on his body even as a ghoul. and his face... his face has seen better days. he doesn’t wear the mask because he’s self-conscious but if his S/O managed to help him take it off the whole “sorry i’m actually terrible looking” is just an added anxiety to the situation

gjfgdjfgj when it comes to planning date nights he starts with a general idea and thinks its very exciting and cool but like the day of he gets last-minute ideas and tries to jam in those extra things, it can become a bit of a frantic dash but he’s not really stressin, it would even appear it’s fun to him. i think he’d be very preoccupied with thinking of how to make it most enjoyable for his partner and then the last thing he would realize is that he has to decide on what to wear because oh yeah. he’s gonna be there too

if someone is taking Him on a date and told him Chill, I got this this time he’d be so lost because someone doing something nice for him is a foreign concept. he’d just spend more time making himself presentable. and sitting still for like 45 minutes low key anxiously waiting

he’s into the classics like “dear” and “my love”. maybe throw in a sunshine. depending on who he’s with they might get 1 unique name

he has a metric ton of baggage and he knows not a lot of people are interested in handling that. similarly, he only has eyes for good-hearted people and he’s done a lot of nasty, brutal things that he feels he is obligated to tell them about, out of respect for them, and that could drive them away. he hasn’t 100% healed from massive rejection more than 50 years ago so getting rejected again is terrifying?? and unless he leaves boston with them his lifestyle is also generally precarious at best. essentially he has zero self esteem

jack definitely THINKS hes a lot more subtle than he is. as due to aforementioned insecurities he is very unwilling to make forward and obvious gestures, but he tends to act on impulse and whim so that means just the way he talks to them, how often he likes spending time with them, showing up with gifts for them, become indicators. jack is overall known for seeming friendly and generous so to many people it may not seem out of the ordinary

he’s into drama so going out of his way is generally the norm, whether it is by actual physical feats like a Spiderman Kiss or going at lengths to track down something they mentioned they needed/wanted. he will also find ways to sneakily take care of their enemies and problems, talk to people who know people to make their life easier. he lives for surprising his loved one so most things are done behind their back

he may hint at having a present or something planned for his partner that he builds up anticipation for while being awfully vague. like i said. he likes to surprise

he also likes to feel wanted so he’s also pretty adept at creating PHYSICAL tension by teasing

just play along with his flair and antics and he’ll appreciate it a lot. he likes compliments and reassurance. he’s often putting on a show so he doesnt take it for granted when it pays off
