having feelings about pimms but if Jack never dropped out of the draft so they don't break up so they continue to have a not so healthy relationship bc neither of them got the character building from canon and what if they came out together like jack and bitty bc parallels but they were super messy bc jack never went to rehab and Kent never got his cat or the hockey team equivalent of timeout away from jack to think about his crimes and they never figure out how to stop constantly competing against each other but also the world or how to address their own issues
basically what if they were stuck with each other and rotted each other from the inside out
#pimms#something so so interestimg about their dynamic is how much they had to hide themselves and how that carried over#because they dont share anything about themselves because so much of themselves is the other person#like. stone cold Jack but older and jn this wierd thing with playboy-esque vibes Kent#both of them end up performing except to each ither but then its like two open raw wounds rubbing against each other#like a broken bone that hasnt set correctly!! theyre functional but oh boy#they find recognition within each other and only each other and its fucking them up!!!#they go to couples therapy at one point and the therapist is like 'uh. um. :(' the whole time#jack#parse
