Dearly departed and foolish mortals alike, fondest greetings and salutations!
Welcome, to this land of eternal Autumn!
( aka my self ship blog! :D )
My fictional other is Jack Skellington and I am here to doodle and muse over things about him that make me happy. :3
I've loved Jack platonically for many years, though recently it's evolved into a romantic love and now I'm having a lot of fun shipping with him! โฅ
Our ship tag is: #๐HauntedHearts๐ค !
Online I usually go by Riddle/Ramshankles. I'm thirty, I live in the UK and I enjoy drawing and writing for myself, I'm not great but I still have fun with it! :D
I'm a fan of bad jokes and spooky things. The silly and whimsical. The strange and unusual.
My whole life I've turned to fictional characters for comfort and belonging. Thankfully, my situation is much better now and even though I am working very hard on loving myself and healing from some unpleasant things, I still greatly enjoy and find a LOT of comfort in self shipping.
The Nightmare Before Christmas has been a great source of comfort and wonder for me ever since I first watched it as a child, it was a movie that my Mum and I used to watch together often and has had a special place in my heart ever since.
I am so excited to see everybody else's self ships! I want to support others who ship themselves / their self inserts / oc's with their favourite characters. You're valid and wonderful and I hope you're having a nice day. โฅ
You can search my blog for the 'my art' tag if you'd like to see my doodles, I'm pretty sure you'll be able to tell what I've drawn.
I'm not entirely sure what else to include here so if there's anything that you're unsure of, feel free to send an ask or a dm or something. :)
fyi: I consider my self ship as something along the lines of an incredibly self-indulgent AU and nothing more. I absolutely adore the source material, Jack and Sally have always been my otp and I LOVE them both dearly! My self ship is just a bit of fun BUT if any of my content makes you feel uncomfortable or unhappy, please feel free to block me so my things don't show up for you.
dni: proshippers, comshippers, bigots of any kind.
found this little Zero figure at dollar tree, and thought it would be a good scale for the MH Jack doll since MH pets tend to be tiny. I love how they look together, so cute
How do you think Jack reacted when he found out how badly Sally was treated by the Doctor?
Hello! :D
While there is what we learn in Long Live The Pumpkin Queen, you've handed me a mic to yell into so I'm going to do just that. ๐
(Assuming we are going off of TNBC, LLTPQ and perhaps TBFPK) I think with the gravity of the revelation, Jack would have gone through a whole heap of emotions very quickly before reacting.
I think Jack would feel some form of grief for the version of the Doctor that he'd grown up with and respected all of his life. This guy was the one to (supposedly) create Sally as well as teaching she, Jack and Oogie science, after all.
(We know how much of an impact the subject of science had on Jack and I like to think it's a special interest of his. We even see him trying to find answers to his many questions with chalkboard equations and test tubes as he's trying to dissect Christmas in his tower. I'd even go as far as to say that science is one of his go-to methods of problem solving... So I think he truly respected the Doctor and valued his advice.)
Have you ever been in a situation where you've known someone for a really long time โ perhaps your whole life, only for something to happen and their true colours to shine through?
Orrrr, perhaps you grow up and finally see your relatives and guardians in another light, for who they really are rather than just the role they embody to you? You get to finally see who they actually are as a person, especially when they aren't on their best behaviour or trying to win your favour. I think perhaps Jack might have felt something like that... But, like... In the worst way possible.
Still feeling that sting of betrayal (that he'd undoubtedly push aside to focus on the Doctor's terrible treatment of Sally), I could definitely see him wanting to verbally take out his feelings on Finkelstein but being the gentleman that he is, he wouldn't be so rash to just start yelling like that.
Jack is a master of scares, he can work out what makes people tick โ what truly frightens them... And I imagine he's able to apply that innate skill of deduction to other aspects of communicating with people. For example when he roared at Lock, Shock and Barrel while they were rough housing instead of listening to their assigned task. He knew that that was the best way to get their attention and get the conversation back on track.
Despite being able to take off his head, I don't think he'd simply lose it and blow up on the Doctor and that would be the end of it. I imagine Jack would end up feeling that sort of white-hot rage, the kind that makes you feel like your whole body is on fire because you know that injustice is taking place. On the outside it looks just like calmness and possibly even detachment, but behind the scenes he's already planning an exceedingly suitable punishment for the crimes against his beloved wife.
To properly enact justice against Finkelstein, he'd know to keep a somewhat clear mind despite his feelings. I do not think that Jack has a cruel bone in his body though I do feel that he'd take great satisfaction in sentencing Doctor Finkelstein to his punishment in LLTPQ.
Thank you for your question! Apologies for taking a long time to answer. (หถแต แต แตหถ)/
