"Archetypes"
Jax x F! Reader
Warnings: It's Jax, Jax may be OOC (somewhat seemingly soft on reader, crush lol), reader is referred to as AFAB/feminine (I always write for fem readers), nothing explicit, guns (but they don't go off or anything), use of [your name], takes place in ep 6: "They All Get Guns", I followed the script of the part of the episode I used to the best of my ability (while changing things to fit the reader in, of course), short dribble sort of, lemme know if I missed anything :)

"So what's the point in pretending we're not?" Jax finishes his words as he tosses the gun at Pomni. Pomni fumbles for a moment, finally catching the gun, before walking over by Jax. "We're still people, though... right?" "I thought we were, at first, but as time goes on..." Jax turns and walks a few steps away, his usual smile forming. "... we just end up falling into our archetypes. Become part of the machine." He turns back to Pomni when she speaks up again, "What's your archetype then? The villain?"
Jax immediately lets out a scoff at that. "Listen... I add a key dynamic. I see how far I can push things," he reaches forward with his wide smile to push Pomni. "I screw with people," he fiddles with her hat, "and I break the fourth wall." He sends a look to the imaginary camera before turning back to her. "You know why? Cause it's funny! I do everything cause it's funny. Cause I am the funny one." "The 'funny one'?" Pomni's hat lets out a small jingle when her head tilts to the side in curiosity. "Yeah, Ragatha's the cheerful one, Gangle's the sad one, Kinger's the crazy one, Zooble's the grumpy one, and you... are the one who hasn't figured that out yet." He gave a harsh jab to her forehead, "We all just became archetypes. I, at least, have the self-awareness to choose who I am-" "What about [your name]?"
Jax tensed slightly before giving a nonchalantly casual look to the shorter jester. "What about [your name]?" "You didn't mention her archetype. What's hers?" Jax let out a little sigh before the smirk came back. "[Your name]'s the best friend in the movie. The one who's always closest to perfect but will never be perfect. The one who's always so close yet so far." But just as Pomni was about to say something, Jax turned away. "Now, you ready to go win?"
