Hey Tink, I was thinking and in season 13, Jack is gonna be some sort of analogy of Sam with his demon blood, because he is half Lucifer so he'll make him progress in his character story line and probably the same with Castiel, by being different and starting to feel like he belong (based on interviews, if you want I can find a link but you probably saw them) but then I couldn't think of something for Dean. Maybe there isn't, but it seems a little incomplete. What's your opinion on the question?
Hi! I have written about this a lot but it’s kinda all over the place so I’m sorry it’s kind of just all in my “Jack the nephilim” tag!
For sure my view is that Jack mirrors all 3 of them and in that way will be the catalyst narratively for the plot to move TFW’s arcs towards endgame but also as their mirror will expose a lot about them and their endgames too, it’ll be mostly Sam and Cas in terms of PLOT as you say re: Lucifer and being between heaven/earth etc. and Dean in terms of the metaphor.
Ways I see Jack mirroring TFW:
Cas: Rejecting DUTY/ EXPECTATIONS. Cas is Lucifer’s light mirror so already is a step-father mirror figure to Jack, plus all of season 12 setting this up, but also he is his direct mirror with his choice re: Heaven/Earth, discovering who he is and what he wants from life.
Sam: Rejecting LUCIFER, destiny, blood forced on him that isn’t his choice. If Jack has a whole “doing some bad things” arc (and I hope he goes dark side around midseason finale to then be won back around by the finale), then feeling guilty for those things and it’s Sam who tells him that yes, he made bad choices, but he can choose now to make good choices and it doesn’t make him a bad person, he can let go of the guilt after a while, he can move forwards from this…. I WILL SCREAM!! :D :D :D
Dean: Rejecting his FATHER (I think it was @k-vichan who first made me think yeah, totally, last season was about mothers and this season about fathers, makes total sense), embracing found family and discovering and accepting who he is not what he is, finding a reconciliation between the light and dark side and coming together in the middle, accepting both sides.
So for Jack, if he is a true mirror for the boys and IF we are heading close in time to endgame… he might for example:
1. have a path to discovering who he is and what he wants in life2. have a down before the up storyline3. choose to reject lucifer 4. choose to accept found family
These are the main themes I hope and kind of expect from season 13′s Jack arc if we are moving towards endgame and he is going to be the catalyst to tie this up (let’s be real, I do at this point expect them but IF I AM WRONG I WILL BE OK WITH IT! I also like surprises! I don’t like it when it’s nonsensical but if it makes sense then wahoo! I’m wrong! Excellent! NO WORRIES!).
Also IF the show is going to continue for another few years then yeah Jack will probably end up bad and everything will go to shit in order for them to keep in the dumps and not get their positive endgame til the end.
