It's just a cashier job but a job's a job and it works for now.

It's so fun! I usually stay up til 3 or 4 AM now but it's nice to be cozy in bed and just read fic and get inside the stories. Yay fandom love!

Well there's not much to tell lol. I'm single and haven't been in love with anyone for two years. Mostly I'm not really in the place in my life for a relationship, I'd like to be more happy with myself and the way my life's going first. I do know what I'm looking for and it's kind of rare from what I've seen but I do hope to find someone someday. For now, I satisfy my romantic part of myself with fandom and I'm cool with that. Hopefully in a year or two I'll be looking for someone in California.

I knew you'd say that! :)

1) What is your opinion of this character? I LOVE Jack. I like how he's so controlled, how he's great at strategy, how he can take down people with his words and his badass spy skills, his love for Sydney who he'll do anything for, his social/emotional awkwardness, how he tries to be good with the darkness inside him, how he uses words and of course hot hot/sexy/cute he is.
2) Is he/she important to the general plot? Yes! In my opinion he is second only to Sydney and plays an important part in taking down SD-6, helping Syd and being involved in the Bristow-Derekvo-Sloane dynamics. I definitely think they could have used him a lot more; he should have gotten some more plots revolving around him.
3) Can you relate to this character at all? Do they grip you emotionally? Yes in both cases. I relate to his social awkwardness, the deep emotional love he has for his family (although in my case it's more close friends) and trust issues to a degree. I am deeply invested in Jack basically, probably the most of anyone in Alias because I care so deeply about the issues he has to go through and want him and Syd and Irina to be happy together.
4) How much do you like the fandom that this character comes from? I love Alias although a lot of it centers more on the SpyFam than anyone else. But I do adore most of the other characters and enjoy the plot. And the fandom itself has been really great so far with lots of nice, smart and interesting people so that's great :)
5) Do you ship this character with any other character? Or, are you particularly intrigued by their relationship with any other character(s)? (romance or platonic) Obviously I am all OTP shippy with Jack/Irina and I *ship* Jack and Syd in a platonic way as they gave me the same squeeful feelings when they get great moments together. But I enjoy him with everyone, he makes everyone more interesting.
6) Is there anything about the character you would change? The end times infinity of course. Um...I wish he didn't shoot Irina and had looked into it more before he did but I get he has issues so it works for me. Mostly I'd just give him more screentime/plots.
7) If you were in the fandom with this character or knew this character in real life, how do you see yourself interacting with him/her? (Would you get along well? Fall in love with? Dislike? Friendly rivalry? etc etc) I think it'd be kind of awkward and he'd be pretty formal with me. If I could get him to open up, talk about his family maybe we'd be friends (or at least I can dream...).
8) Does this character make the cut as one of your all time favorites (if you like) or least favorites? Well he's my favorite in Alias and top 10 favorite characters so yes, he makes the cut.
9) Would you hype up this character (if you like) or warn about (if you dislike) to someone whose new to the fandom? HYPE so much. SpyDaddy is definitely one of the best reasons to watch Alias.
10) Is this character popular with the fanbase? He seems to be fairly popular and most people seem to love him although it seems previously the Syd/Vaughn/younger people focus didn't give him as much time but I just recently got into the fandom so I don't know much. How can you not like Jack is my question.
