THIS IS A JACKS LORE DUMP. VERY, VERY LONG OVERDUE, JACKS LORE DUMP.

THIS IS A JACKS LORE DUMP. VERY, VERY LONG OVERDUE, JACKS LORE DUMP.

This is a certified out-of-character post (also, small irl update)

Jacks was born in the 1700s, specifically 1789, October 31. Jacks is one of the time displaced kids at Camp Half-Blood, and is still getting used to how to use devices. They were kinda confused when Leo [Valdez] handed them a talking brick that made beeps and music.

After one day, after getting claimed by Apollo, they ended up becoming a medical assistant in their village. They were amazing at healing people. Some called them a "healer." Other said they were a witch that immediately needed to be executed by cutting off their head.

They (they being the village, not Jacks) ended up deciding to go down the witchery path when Jacks healed someone's arm, which was mauled by a Lycaon disguised as a regular wolf, and reattaching the dude's arm back onto his body without stitches. Not the smartest move, but then again, the person who got mauled was Jacks's first (secret) boyfriend.

(Quick b-t-dubs, Jacks is descended from Erebus and Hephaestus)

So, when they strapped them to a log, surrounded by spears and tinder, Jacks wasn't sure what to do. They could control small amounts of fire due to being a descendant of Hephaestus, shadow travel because of Erebus, and heal themself if they needed a way to fake dying (somehow).

They decided the safest option was hiding in the Underworld, shadow travelling down there. When they shadow travelled into the underworld, they were immediately met with good news, and bad news.

Good News? There was no longer a bloodthirsty mob after them with flaming torches.

Bad News? They were stuck in Erebus's pocket dimension in the underworld.

Now, I'm not sure if you have been stuck in utter, and complete darkness from 1802 to 2021 (~219 years), stuck at 13 and not being able to think properly, going insane due to isolation for what felt like eternity. But for Jacks? They mentally and physically stayed the same age for years.

They never grew up, they were alone and afraid, forgotten by everyone else until they were able to escape (somehow, idk, I'm working out the details on that as we speak).

When they managed to get out, Nyx and Erebus decided to have Mercy on Jacks, giving them a bracelet that transformed into a small, beaded bracelet, where if you snapped off a bead, the bracelet would transform into a Stygian Iron sickle, kinda like those farmer ones where you can hold it in one hand.

Not that it helped Jacks's situation, but at least they had a weapon to protect themself from everything around them.

Fast forward a few months, specifically a month (and a day) before their birthday, they make it to the rumored Camp Half-Blood. They've heard of it during school at some point through myths and rumors. Also, supposedly George Washington was a demigod, but they never taught that in their school (the teachers were so uncool for that tbh).

When they got there, a teen, around the same age as them, with vitiligo and pink hair. He introduced Jacks to Chiron, and showed Jacks around camp, then introduced himself as Tyler (if you followed my blog for a bit, you know where this is going ;] ).

Tyler was a cool, awesome son of Demeter, descended from Aphrodite (his grandma's side). Jacks was from Pennsylvania and Tyler was from Canada. The two weren't too different either. Jacks, inevitably, started developing feelings for Tyler. Though the feelings were small, and sometimes went away completely, Jacks really wanted to date Tyler.

Tyler ended up asking Jacks out two years after they met, and have been happily dating ever since.

Jacks was afraid of the dark, because of the shadow dimension in the underworld, so Tyler made Jacks a candle that would never go out or melt so Jacks would never be in the dark ever again.

Present day, Jacks spend their time with their friends Nico, Percy, Thalia, Jason, Hazel, Annabeth, Magnus, Toast n' Donut (yes, they're frogs, again, idc), Koi, Xea, Tyson, Ella, Mrs. O'Leary (dogs count, idc), Leo, Will, Hilal Khalil, Tyler, and his adoptive parents Davey M[atten]. Red and John H[arriet]. Red

If you read this far, holy crabs do you have a large attentions span. Either that or you're a nerd like me :) (or you're one of my mooties)

I love y'all (platonically), be safe, and I'll try to upload more often every other weekend. I have school stuff and I'll try to post around 6-7 A.M. EST. Also, thank you for tagging me in stuff on both of my accounts ( @ghostkingdiangelo) and this account. I'll catch up on all mah schtuff soon.

Thanks for reading again!

Tip for enjoying stuff just a little bit more :)

If you're so used to capturing pictures of nature, finding beauty threw a lense, like me. Use your juicy face peepers cameras to take mind images that you can enjoy them all the time.

I get it if there's like mind/memory problems that run in your family (like mine unfortunately), then cameras are amazing tools to help remembering stuff. Just a helpful tip, use a sharpie or any other permanent marker, mark the date on the photo and the backstory of it. So you and your family can have beautiful memories that can last forever 💛

I love my mind and my camera, and I'm grateful for remembering interactions, and using my camera to take pictures of my loved ones so I can always remember their faces.

Hope this helps for some people, and helps make your days better :)

(ooc: my in character posts are gonna end with #self destruct toads, just as a b.t.dubs)

I feel like I should post out of context quotes between me and my boyfriend lol

"Have you ever just wanted to... shove your finger in candle wax..." -Tyler

"No? Why would I??" -Me

"It feel nice on mah fingies :)" -Tyler

"I wonder, if you hadn't asked me out, what do you think I'd be doing rn?" -Me

"Probably doing what you already do?" -Tyler

"WRONG. I would be laying in my bed eating soggy cereal while I cry myself to sleep." -Me

"So... What you already do?" -Tyler

"I wonder what Will is doing, haven't seen him all day." -Me

From the other side of the cabin: "Nico, duh." -Tyler

"... Fair point." -Me

"Byee! Gonna hang out with Hilal and Nico today!" -Me

"What's so different about hanging out with them today?" -Tyler

"We get to talk shit about you... Just kidding. It's mostly about Kathy." -Me

"Oh, have fun then!" -Tyler

"I saw someone eating blue peanut- where's Toast?" -Me

"The blue frog frog you stole from Percy that you left out his cage and put on my bed?" -Tyler

"Tyler what did you do?" -Me

"I licked him and threw up." -Tyler

"I wasn't talking about what you did to him, I meant what happened to him?" -Me

"Idk, I was throwing up." -Tyler

This was fun, I should do this more.

Samson:

hey jacks, its me hilal.

i, uh, may have slightly burnt myself baking biscuits.

help :')

OMGG ARE YOU OKAY???

(ooc: Sorry for the late replies and stuff, I was at my dad's house 😔)

Please don't put ice on it immediately, it could cause shock depending on how bad the burn is. Submerge it into warm water, and slowly progress to lower and lower temperatures. After that, don't cover it. Covering it is bad or something (idk, it's been a while since I had to deal with a burn).

Hope this helps!

Its ghost king lol
