Recently I had just had a Jarida burst, after years of being dormant and I was wondering how Jack and the rest of the guardians would react to meeting his daughter in the future and realizing he gave up his guardianship and immortality to be a human with Merida?
fyeah welcome back!
-puts on her glasses- Let’s see
Let’s say he already knows Merida and has a relationship with her, let’s say that Merida isn’t immortal and will eventually die or marry a “real” person. So because of that Jack would have to make the ultimate sacrifice (if it were possible). In this scenario Merida doesn’t meet her future daughter.
The Guardians would be understandably confused, bewildered and disbelieving; not to mention Jack may as well died again from the shock.
present/past!Jack wouldnt have thought about giving up what essentially took 300 years to accomplish and he too cannot believe what his future self did. How could he leave his powers, Jamie and the kids, his very identity behind?
But the more Jack gets to know his daughter, the more appealing the idea of having his own children wanders around his head. Lets put in a kind of Meet the Robinsons scenario so future!Jack isnt around thus giving past/presentJack! freedom to explore this probability. The more he sees the more he likes.
The more the Guardians see his chance in perspective about the idea; but they still dont know how to become mortal.... what ever happens?
Jack meets Merida after the mission (and being told not to tell her a word in the matter about you-know-what) and just sees her in a different light. And it’s so funny because he can see traits of their future daughter on her and thats.... heartwarming. That he could have that future.
And that would be a turning point I believe in how Jack sees his relationship with Merida and looks around for an answer to his immortality.
