So although I believe in Mom Friend Jason™ like everyone else, I feel like Zack, despite his impulsive parkour-ish ass, is the one to always notices the smallest change in the others first, like he can just tell when Trini's parents are being especially hard on her, or Jason's dad went on another rant, and is always able to come up with a thoughtfully simple way to cheer them up. I think it would take more for Jason to notice something was wrong and is more of a pep-talker, but Zack, man. Zack.
TRUE!!!!!!! zack is so much more aware than ppl give him credit for. and like....he’s never forward abt being supportive? but he tries to make his friends laugh when he notices their distress, and he gives them distractions in whatever form they need.
like, kim has a really rough day w/her parents. its just...bad. (she never talks abt her family issues, either, but zack can see right thru her.) so he asks her to teach him some ~cheerleading~ moves so that he can fight better and she spends the better part of the afternoon teasing him for his inability to do some of the things she does (even though he 100% can, he’s just trying to make her smile)
