jesse tuck is so sad to me. he is so lonely even if he pretends he isn’t and i just. the way he latches on to winnie because he has no one else to bond with that closely, no one new, not really. augh. and he is so so young. poor guy

Winnie was going to listen to Tuck. Really, she was, but when faced with the early death of a cousin, she made a decision to save both their lives. In any case, Jesse would be back for her soon and she was certain the caring Tucks wouldn't turn away her cousin. But Jesse never came back. More than a century passed and Winnie and her cousin learned how to get by on their own. Now Jesse's back in Treegap and Winnie's kind of freaking out.

entirely sure that the moment Jesse Tuck realized he was immortal he immediately ate a bunch of things that would otherwise kill him to see what they tasted like

source: that’s exactly what i’d do if i was immortal, like the very first thing

GIMMIE JESSE HEADCANONS!!!

YES LETS FUCKIN GOOOOOOOOOOOOO

ok he’s aroace i will die on this hill

doesnt understand marriages are anything other than besties premium (as an aro(spec) ace guy myself i thought this for a long time myself so im allowed to project)

he loves trees this is canon but i mean he can identify them really well, tell you what’s poisonous and what’s safe to eat

speaking of foraging for food the first thing he did when he discovered he was immortal is eat every kind of poisonous plant he could find (spoiler alert: he got violently sick and had a stomach ache for weeks, Miles said “i told you so” about a half a million times

in about 1897 he moved to New York for a bit and ended up taking part in the newsie strikes (he was York guys, trust)

in the 90’s he took up skateboarding and kept trying and failing to do stunts but got sort of ok at it (he’s our cousin Throckmorton guys, trust)

the biggest reason he has for needing to move is that he keeps doing stupid shit that would kill him and he can’t let anyone know he’s immortal

he still keeps Winnie’s toad with him, he named it Winnie 2 (the sequel/electric boogaloo) and talks to it just as he would his best friend from all those years ago

every once in a while he goes back to Treegap, New Hampshire and quietly checks up on Winnie’s family

he has eaten most things that would kill him if he wasn’t immortal, sometimes he just walks around drinking bleach through a straw because scaring people is funny (he still suffers the same consequences as with the poisonous plants, Miles still says “i told you so” about half a million times)

hes been literally everywhere on the planet just to check it out

he started writing things down and journaling after Winnie decided not to become immortal, that was kind of a reality check for him and he started taking into account how temporary everything is

the temporary nature of everything that isn’t him and his family doesn’t hit him often but when it hits, it hits him hard

he was at Stonewall, you can’t tell me otherwise, he threw a brick at a cop himself

PLEASE ALSO SHARE ANY OF YOUR OWN I LOVE THIS GOOBER

I could and might actually write an essay about the relationship between Jesse Tuck and Winnie Foster and how interpreting as more romantic (like in the movie) kinda ruins what is such an interesting dynamic and showcase of the way both of them have been stunted (Winnie by her mother coddling her and Jesse by having to hide from society due to his immortality.)

Doodles of the Tuck brothers I drew at my cousin's engagement party. The doodler urges never stop!!

I keep drawing Jesse extremely short compared to the rest of his family. So I think it would be really funny if the Tucks are all really tall. But they get like it comes in a growth spurt around the time they become adults, and immortality forced Jesse to be short forever.
