Might archive this blog and remake it into another sometime tomorrow or maybe even tonight. the backstory is going to be canon-divergent, at least in the sense that it wont be handled like the cartoon it was originally meant to be, where every insult and punch in the fave is laughed off. Here, things are going to hurt, and i love the headcanon that jack bounces back from everything as much as the next member of the fandom… but it’s just not relatable to me

should i get rid of jack’s self-harming during the ages of 12-13? is it too much? i know whenever i ask things like this, everyone tells me “just go with what feels right for you” and i understand that but im just afraid people are getting tired of the changes i keep making.

Also i made this blog like a year ago now?? and jack, and ME, has grown stupendously since then? the way he acted initially when he first met your muse(s) isnt the way i imagine him now. all those inappropriate comments and frankly stupid shit i wrote him doing is a reflection of where my mind was at at that time, not his.

@endlessconqueror remember that one time jack was dancing like a moron and nerg called him pathetic? i dont blame him. i dont mean to sound all whiny and shit and i prob need to lighten up but i wish i could start over with all my muse’s relationships but i dont to put that kind of hassle on everyone

oh and btw i almost killed myself yesterday night during a breakdown but my dad and bf kept me away from the bathroom where all the pills are at

𝒳𝒾𝓃 𝒜𝒾:

Jack studied the other man. Not too tall, not too short. Muscular? Hard to tell for certain with that deep green suit which covered so much skin. Long, straight red hair–on a Chinese man? Most likely dyed, but then again his eyebrows matched the color, so who knew–and vividly blue eyes, almost as bright as Kimiko’s, if not exactly.
“It’s a pleasure to meet you as well, mister Hu-Shun,” he outstretched an arm for a firm handshake, businesslike, “But I’m a bit confused. What exactly is your proposal? I’ve never really thought of how my line of work could be applied to a casino, of all things. Perhaps I’m just thinking too small.”
He blinked, suddenly, tilted his head ever so slightly, almost imperceptible. Something about Jun’s face seemed vaguely familiar. The shape of it, little nearly distinct minute details. Like it was right on the tip of his tongue, but the answer wasn’t coming. And his voice? The timbre…
However, in his mind, Jun and Chase Young were so completely divorced from one another, it did not occur to him to make any kind of connection. As for the necklace, he didn’t really register it as The One; merely glanced over it, and thought, Huh, looks like something I got for Chase once. This guy must be rolling in cash if he can afford one similar to it–if it’s truly authentic jade, that is.

   Seeing Jack as a stranger was difficult. Chase almost wanted to grab his hand, pull their bodies close and whisper who he really was. It was mildly shameful how Chase was willing to risk his reserved nature to do something like that, but he couldn’t help himself it seemed. Jack was his crown jewel of rubies and jade.

   Everything about him was perfect. Divine. God-like.

   Considering Jack’s nature, it wasn’t all a surprise. As Chase shook his hand he almost wanted to linger, but gave the perfect and firm handshake two people of business should give, along with an all too familiar grin and gaze as he pulled his hand away.

   “Please, do take a seat,” he says, directing Jack to do so, and sitting down himself. “Would you care for a refreshment?”

   Asking his question gave Chase time to think on Jack’s own question to him. He knew a significant amount of information on Jack’s line of work, from Jack telling him of things and of being around him when he was doing his work for his business. He remembered that Jack made strong technology for security.

   That could work as a valid excuse. Seeing as Chase had some unruly people stepping in to his casino, and the occasional threat from those that didn’t believe in his ability to win so easily, he could use more security. He clears his throat.

   “My proposal is something you can understand or possibly relate to, at least. Lately I have been having troublesome individuals that like to ruin the welcoming and casual aura I have emitted for my establishment, and I understand you have one of the best security systems…”

“I do,” he nodded, “And I do understand. I don’t need a drink right now, but thank you.”

He blinked at Jun’s grin, briefly taken aback by how--familiar, it seemed. Handsome, small, confident. Like Chase. But still, how was he supposed to see a connection? Everything Jun was saying so far was perfectly normal.

Send me a ☯ for a random Good!Verse (v.1 or v2) starter.

   The days have gone by since Chase encountered Jack Spicer– completely different from how he first seen the man and it’s been days since their little confrontation. He could feel the rage and the sadness that Jack built up for oh so long at actions Chase has done to him. Chase was too frozen in place for a dignified response at the time.

   It seems his official change to good made him too passive, too submissive and coming to that conclusion sickened him. Changing his alignment shouldn’t yield such results but acting like his former self was bound to raise suspiscion that wasn’t needed. Therefore, Chase had to get away from it all. Having revealed his casino ownership to the other dragons, he was now there, with them as well.

   “Get a look at Raimundo,” Kimiko nudges Chase. “He’s playing pool.”

   Chase glanced over to the Xiaolin Leader, having a very poor game of pool against Clay. He couldn’t help but chuckle.

   “He sucks,” Chase deadpanned. “But… A+ for effort. He still can wipe the floor with me in Chess.”

   Chase liked talking with Kimiko. They shared similar ideals and similar vices– ie. the way they easily got angered, but being around her made him the most comfortable. Calling the monks his friends, still, he would have to get used to.

   “And… just like that, he loses. Wow,” Kimiko responds. “He looks devistated.”

   “Yes, because he’s losing all of his money to Clay,” Chase laughs. “And his pride. Can’t forget about his pride of course.”

   “Hey, dude, I can hear you!” Raimundo calls out to Chase. “You try challenging me!”

   “I would,” Chase begins. “But… I have important work to do, like making sure Omi doesn’t accidentally drink, and he accidentally doesn’t tell Boris about ‘this weird tasting concotion’. I don’t want a repeat of the last time, Raimundo.”

   “Lies!” Raimundo exclaims. “They’re in the buffet eating up all the shrimp. With my money.”

   “I said everything is free, mind you. I own this place. That means they tricked you and that they aren’t eating up all the shrimp, but in fact using the money for other things such as the dollar games for children,” Chase grins, winking.

   “…Excuse me for one moment,” Raimundo says, running out of the room.

   An hour passed since the Xiaolin’s antics from earlier and while they were still downstairs, Chase was upstairs in his office, going over some documents when a knock sounded, coming in was his assistant.

   “Sir, there’s someone here to see you. Your friends downstairs seemed very agitated to let him in, but there was nothing I can do, he’s a very important figure and–”

   “It’s alright,” Chase sighs. “Let them in. Go downstairs and tell my friends he is… alright. To a certain degree.”

He entered the room.

“Chase,” he started, then stopped.

“Well, first of all, I don’t know how many times I need to tell the Dragon Warriors that I’m no longer their enemy before they understand. And, second of all...a casino? I never pictured you as a gambler. Not even when you were evil.”

is it really so unbelievable for jack to earn that doctoral degree by the time he’s eleven? the reason i wanted it that way in the first place was to show his drive to prove himself. i dunno. aren’t there kids in real life like that?

please let me know what you think of the changes i’ve made to jack

As far as the change in race goes I think that that is absolutely fine. It makes sense that he wouldn’t be completely human since you choose to make the under eye markings natural. 

I only think that the languages and talents section need editing. Keep in mind that this is only my opinion so make of it what you will. Languages are difficult to learn perfectly/to be fluent in. I would suggest not that you decrease the amount of  languages he knows since he is an international business man, but maybe put a cap on how good he is at each language. 

The other thing I would consider decreasing is his talent section. Not the figure skating, he has shown he is great at that and I like the idea of him honing it and keeping it. However I think that I would focus more on his magic proficiency and less on talents like archery.

Anyways…..This is all just my opinion and I don’t mean to sound blunt or to offend you, so I’m sorry if any of this has.  

no you have a point. i’ve been trying to learn to tone things down for my characters lately. thank you!
