Take this meme I made.

I joke that Good Jack is essentially hide the pain Harold cause his smiles look really fake and forced sometimes but it really makes sense when you look at Jack as a whole and the self-sacrificial nature of his good side.

Nosey ask! For canon aligned Jack

Jack, what are your parents like? Is everything ok at home?

@lindendragon || (X) || Jack

"My parents? Why do you want to know about them?" Jack doesn't want to talk about them, at least... not really.

"My mom's an actress, she's busy a lot, she likes sweets." Basic information, but he at least likes his mom.

His dad though... he could care less about him. He doesn't say a word about his dad.

"My house is fine, home is fine, state of the art lab in the basement, fully stocked fridge, best games and wifi, and plenty of room for experiments! Anything I could ever want!" He says proudly and he acts like he believes it!

Since people are all apparently very invested in toh's messages about ableism at the moment, and Sergeantsporks mentioned me in the discussion, I'm gonna talk about Cardinal lounge au a bit.

A very much known thing about Hunter is that he wants to help, but a subtle yet big part of his character is how he doesn't want others to go through the same suffering he endured. This is seen in the way he comforts and supports Gus at the end of the finale, and I always had a feeling that part of the reason Hunter was so dedicated to being the Golden guard is cause he wanted to protect the people of the Boiling isles from suffering the same thing he thought his family did due to wild magic. He fought wild magic cause he wanted to make sure nobody else got cursed or their families killed in a horrible accident. But of course it turns out Belos took that desire to protect and exploited it for vile purposes through lies and limiting his view of the world through the narrow slits of a mask.

So after canon, that desire ends up turning into him becoming a counselor and disability-activist kind of figure. He wants to give children the safe space and support and way to get out of a bad situation that he either never got or got very late. Part of the reason he was trapped with Belos is the ableism on the isles towards the magically disabled, making it practically impossible to survive on your own, so this is undoubtedly happening to others. So he wants to create a support system where people will have other options for survival, and won't be forced to rely on their abusers for survival or even be made to do things they don't agree with, with no escape in sight because nobody is willing to help you or even give you a job to survive.

Since Hunter was a key participant of the Hexside rebellion, he generally saw the school as a safe space for himself, both cause the school staff are generally accepting of him since they witnessed his rebellion firsthand, but also because Hexside was at the time of him first running away, in his own words, the only safe place he could think of, meaning this is one of the first places he ever felt safe in.

It's also implied he holds respect for the school faculty there in general, not only cause of his inherent respect for authority, but also likely since they stood with their students, cared for their wellbeing, as well as fought by their side for what was right. Not to mention Bump is very willing to make school reforms for the greater good and to fix systems that have been harming people, so there is no doubt in my mind that Bump would work with Hunter in order to provide accesible education to those that were denied it due to their magical disabilities, so they finally have a proper chance at life.

As another user said, Hunter can be a voice for powerless witches, and bring awareness to the hard situation society traps them in due to their ableism. Hunter can make sure that others like him have a chance to escape earlier than he did, that they have somewhere to run to once they can, so that nobody is doomed from the start like he seemingly was.

Hey, you like Raimundo along with Jack, right? And you're Brazilian. Feel free not to answer this if you don't wanna okay. I just thought you'd be best suited. Like when you commented on the "Rai" nickname.

I'm wondering if you perhaps have any thoughts or headcanons on him, family, hobbies, his inner thoughts, cause I wanna flesh him out for my fic and stuff. I'll give you credit for the ideas of course

even though I'm not that active in the xs fandom currently you've surprisingly come to the right person bc I've rambled a bit about raimundo hcs before to my friends. I had to dig up some discord messages to find all my hcs

I hc raimundo to be white-passing and mixed race, which is like the majority of brazilian ppl tbh. side note: in brazil "race" is defined almost solely by skin color, so like if I left my country it's possible I'd be considered a person of color because of my features, but in brazil I'm considered white. raimundo would be in a similar situation

so in these discord messages past!lucas has said "the only mentions of his background is that he has 8 siblings with a lots of aunts and uncles" and "he mentions that the 'rough' part of rio is his 'element'". now, I, lucas of the present, barely rmr this bc it's been forever ago since I watched xs, but I'm trusting past!lucas on this I think he would never lie to me. based on that I'm a fan of the theory raimundo is an orphan and grew up as part of the lower class. I don't think I ever theorized what the fuck happened to his parents, but I like the idea of him acquiring abandonment issues because of it. since he grew up poor I think he'd also have a lot of survival skills, knowing how to make due with very little, etc.

I actually just thought abt this but it's very uncommon for latino people to only have two names. I myself have four, bc the family names just keep adding on top of each other when u marry instead of being absorbed into the husband's name. so realistically raimundo would probably has at least one other family name

not exactly a hc but something interesting to note about mundo is that he is a good example of something we call a "malandro" in brazil. a malandro is a brazilian concept of a cunning anti-hero who outsmarts, deceives and takes advantage of others, usually for personal gain. describing it like this makes it sound like a bad word, but it has a positive connotation. like culturally being malandro is considered a good thing. we even have a saying that goes like "every day a malandro (in this case a scammer) and a sucker (in this case the one who gets scammed) leave their houses.", implying that if you're not the one taking advantage of others, you're the one being taken advantage of. I don't think this was intentional on the xs writers' part to make raimundo embody these traits so perfectly that r culturally significant to brazil but and I find it interesting.

similar thing to above we also have something called "gambiarra", which is like achieving something through improvised means instead of the "correct" (and usually more expensive) way. also very important to brazilian culture and I think raimundo would be adept in it

Last: post the last 2 sentences from your current project.

“Anyway,” Terezi says, seemingly sensing your discomfort, “I mostly came to check on you. But you seem to be doing alright, so I guess I’ll leave you to whatever it is a coolkid does alone in his room.”
