First of all, I love the headcanons, they are so in character for them.
Second of all, do you ever think Jack or Nurm got into a situation when adventuring that caused them to need knowledge of "medicine"(Technically they don't really have medicine besides enchanted golden apples and potions, but whatever I like to think of it being more realistic sometimes) Like maybe having to bandage the other, or having to deal with the other getting a broken bone with any healing potions on them?

WAHHH THANK YOU ANON!!! I think about them a lot so I often end up dumping em all in, glad to see people liking em |:>]]]
Oooh this is an interesting idea!! They definitely would've had many happenings during their adventures where they'd need to heal their injuries, but not have any potions available as a quick and easy remedy. I'd imagine that they were particularly reliant on potions as a healing resource (which Vos would've been able to aptly provide) during adventures, and didn't break out of the habit even after their main potion master.. well.. yeah. Combined with their increasing wariness and anxiety around adventuring, I figure that they maybe would've started exhausting potions more quickly and impulsively during very tense encounters, quickly dwindling their supply and thus leaving them to fall back on traditional medicine.
Thankfully Jack still remembered his training at Sidekick Academy (still hearing his younger self whining about boring first aid assignments and how he was going to be an adventurer, not a healer) and Nurm remembered enough about Villager medicine practices (to which his past self would've groaned about needing to actually use for once). I can definitely see Jack needing Nurm to apply a makeshift splint and bandage him up after getting just a little too careless during a thunderstorm "[I told you to watch out for the skeleton horses!!]", or Nurm getting Jack to patch up some pretty bad wounds on the go.
They both take care of each other in their own ways, of course, and are incredibly patient whilst looking after one another. Nurm is an absolutely lovely and sweet caretaker, he often asks Jack to tell him if he's pressing down too hard while tending to his wounds. Jack tells him his pain tolerance is high enough and to just go ahead (the man still winces ever so slightly though). Jack meanwhile likes to tell stories and jokes to Nurm while fixing him up to lighten the mood, Nurm listening and taking his mind off of the pain. Although sometimes they have to break when Nurm laughs too hard or reaches out to pinch him for talking too much (or both).
didn't mean to ramble so much there. whoops🥺 I think about them so much man. thank you for the ask and prompting me to write about them more. I love them [:>))
SMOKE BOMB!!! *I cough and choke on the lingering dust*
Been thinkin WAY too much about "Too Little, Too Late" with Jack and Vos parallels FUCK
Oooh, went and searched this one up cause I haven't listened to it myself (I'm presuming you mean the Laufey song? Correct me if I'm wrong though, I'm not too familiar with currently rending songs myself lol) and. Yeah oh my god it's Them.
Jack reflecting on the lost relationship he had with Vos he knows he'll never be able to regain or relive, and vice versa with Vos (his spirit? maybe some part of him stuck around when they revisited the temple. who knows) watching Jack move further on in life and leave what they had behind to settle down.
The whole town is talking about how you've fallen in love
Jack settles down in Beacontown with Nurm after all his adventures, he also seems to be recognised enough for Petra to know his name. Also works with he fact that Jack and Nurm met in Pur'gan-Gah, and quite possibly married/had some sort of ceremony there.
I lay down my sword for fate, it's too little too late
Jack chooses to lay his sword down and accept Sammy and Vos's fate, knowing that adventuring is too dangerous to continue and that it's too late now that they're gone.
Guess that we're soulmates in different timelines/What if you leave him, throw me a lifeline
Definitely reminiscent of the obvious choice based nature of mcsm, but also reminds me of the big choice in (season two) episode one, the very first episode where we meet those two. You either choose to help out Jack (throw him a lifeline), or leave him to defend Vos (again, lifeline) and Nurm by himself and lose his eye. They also fall in the water afterwards to add to the imagery. More reminiscing on what their relationship could've been had things turned out different.
I know that you're happy, but it almost killed me
Well in this case, it quite literally did kill him [:>)
Or if I'd stuck around, I swear to god I almost drowned
This one's pretty self explanatory too [;>)
I lost my fight with fate, a tug-of-war of leave and stay
Again, Vos quite literally did lose his fight with fate, forced to stay trapped within the temple until he died. And Jack ended up not only losing his friends to the Admin's so called hand of fate, but was taken by him personally to either become his prisoner or his "Champion", suffering even further. Jack's constantly being caught between leaving or staying. He leaves his adventuring days behind to stay in Beacontown, after having his friends taken from him, only to be torn from that safety net by Romeo (who chastises him as Vos for "leaving" his glory days behind). He thinks he's been reunited with Vos once more only for that to completely fall out right from under him when Vos reveals himself to be Romeo, leaving him once again and trapping him in the Sunshine Institute/Terminal Space
I lay my sword down anyway, I'll see you at heaven's gate
This one's a bit more on the nose again, I don't have much to say except to quote that last chorus from Jack's Lament:
OH THIS IS SO CUTE!!! Wahh them and their creatures [[:>))))
(admittedly I'm not into pokemon and cannot remember Any pokemon past gen1 so they are all Creatures to me. But I love them so much)
Jack flexing with his pokemon and Nurm just looking to smug with his wrapped around him like a boa. The STYLE. Also them as pokemon?? Massive Nurm looking at Jack while he just rambles?? Yes!!!
Oh this is wonderful.they are wonderful. Thank you oncemore mr daimen pronounced damien (will that ever get old. we'll see)
