💓💓 for Jack!

{ Learn To Make A Heart Flutter }

1. Be a terrible choice all around. Jack falls in love with tragedy constantly. The less likely it is someone will love him back, the more likely it is he’ll find himself rooting for them and adoring them desperately. This, of course, ought to keep him from pursuing them – and generally speaking it does work – but every now and again he has to try, because he’s a fucking idiot, and it goes to hell in a handbasket ever so cheerfully. One time, it even got him killed. But we don’t talk about that. 

2. Be fiesty. Jack loves spirited people. Especially if those people can go toe to toe with him on an intellectual front and get him dancing – he absolutely adores a challenge, and that might be why he has such a lamentable habit of falling in love with his rivals and people who prefer to belittle him and see him as mad rather than genius.

   It’s not because he enjoys being talked down to and insulted ( in fact, he hates both of those things! A lot! ) but rather, it is because the stimulus of having someone intelligent enough to actually challenge him – even for a bicker, or a minute, or a single nautical maneuver – thrills Jack to no end.

   The more exposure he has to these people who challenge him, the more likely it is that they will end up both becoming quite dear to him on account of the fact they keep him so cheerfully on his toes, but also, that they will in some terrible way, abandon or betray him, or worse, desperately need his help and sacrifices while simultaneously believing both matters to be owed them and thus, not worthy of even an iota of gratitude. But we don’t talk about that, either.
