I drew this, so, I guess now I have to make a playlist. Because it DOES seem like a playlist cover, doesn’t it?

Jack calls his sister “cinnabon”
I don’t think even she knows what her name is supposed to be.
I have decided today that there needs to be more fanart of the mom so I am declaring this week “Jack’s mom whatever-her-name-is week”.
So I noticed that on this blog, I had ONE draft. It was months old and looked pretty terrible as far as I was concerned, so despite me never having published into the first place and therefore saving myself the shame, I redrew it anyway.
I will take this time to randomly say that the way I view “darkening” of characters is taking their most prominent character trait and twisting it and making it so apart of their soul that it is harmful.
In Jack’s case, it is not brooding and angsting and staring at the moon wistfully, it’s mischief. It’s reckless endangerment and tricksterhood. Dark!Jack, to me, is Anarchy Incarnate.

thank you <3
You might think it odd that a family at such a point in history and in such a place would have so few children and spaced so far apart, (You try to get as many out before menopause sets in. At least, that was my grandparents strategy and all.) but then you remember the EXTREMELY high infant mortality rate of the time (or high mortality rate in general), you were lucky if you lived to adulthood and doubtlessly MANY of the children in Jack’s village were well acquainted with death on multiple levels.
So there is a chance that Jack could have had more siblings but they were either stillborn or died in infancy or had a horrible accident or were born during a particularly bad famine and passed away from malnutrition and disease.
(Another explanation is simply impotency, but neither is more or less likely than the other.)
