Thank you;
for any part you read or perhaps
even for just scrolling through some of the art ♥️

if you have literally any questions or thoughts, please scream @ me /gen /aff

But I often feel like if you can find some enjoyment in his snarky, difficult and hONESTLY KIND OF DEPRESSING self, then maybe I'm safe too.

And though I feel super nervous to ramble about a character with such personal themes, I like to yap about him and appreciate it deeply that I could 🌹

Uni ✩ˎˊ˗ @cherivil.bsky.social · 12d

So, obviously my attachment to him is l o u d and unsubtle - it's also helped me build a connection to others in the past.
Frankly, I don't think I'd be getting married to my fiancé if it wasn't for the kindness and adoration he's showed Jack as a character ᵕ —<—) which is downright cringe

He's helped me write about some of the worst experiences of my life in a way I probably would not have found the words for - or seen for how dangerous they've been.

Having a muse to unpack my struggles through helped me a lot, especially as a kid struggling with communication and bad habits :']

Uni ✩ˎˊ˗ @cherivil.bsky.social · 12d

Much of his lore and experiences are reflective of my experiences with csa & gr//ming, moving out as a teenager, difficulties with isolation and connection

As well as his hypersexual trauma response, fascination with cross dressing and queerness - which all predate my own understand of myself _(:D」

WIP REFERENCE ART SORRY orz
His saliva and breath itself work as instant sedatives, making intimacy difficult.

Anything he drinks often takes on a dark, sparkly appearance - same goes for cigarette smoke he exhales. Dark blue with little golden specks floating about, inhalation making you exhausted

He struggles with trust, romantic relationships, attention seeking from dangerous people and self discovery!

As it turns out, being consistently poisoned by a demon for nearly a decade has had permanent effects on his body, making Jack's saliva have the same effect the tea had on him - drowsiness.

Uni ✩ˎˊ˗ @cherivil.bsky.social · 12d

SO, Jack ends up meeting some fellow mentally ill queers™ he lives with and struggled to adapt to non poisoned drinks and foods, becoming a healthy weight, trying to understand his childhood, etc

a feral goose that's a bit possessive of him also joins the party just in time as PTSD begins to hit🫰😬

With the help of his aunt Helena, a woman who skipped town shortly after Jacks father passed, Jack escapes his gruesome homelife & subsequently the demon Satin at the age of 16.

His escape is premature and Jack doesn't have the funds to reach his aunt, who is at the time in the army, just yet.

Uni ✩ˎˊ˗ @cherivil.bsky.social · 12d

Gradually poisoning him with tea, Jacks visits become frequent - to chat and have a friend to tell his stories to. He doesn't remember much else, but he knows they're good friends.

The other 90% of his story is unpacking 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙬𝙧𝙤𝙣𝙜 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 and becoming his own person outside of his hometown

Uni ✩ˎˊ˗ @cherivil.bsky.social · 12d

Having escaped just to play and to explore his homes surroundings, he captured the attention of a demon obsessed with collecting human souls - especially those troubled by loss or unordinary upbringings.

Satin invited the boy to his office for tea and biscuits, taking a school counselor-like role.

Jack's mother frequently mistook Jack for somebody he never knew. That, or she ignored him completely - though she felt antsy letting the boy go outside.

Jack took to learning about the world through play and by reading about it in books when he was literate 📖
Eventually, he wanted to go outside

Uni ✩ˎˊ˗ @cherivil.bsky.social · 12d

Jack-Hazel was named after his late father, Jack, who died during his mothers pregnancy. It was believed to be a random act of violence, the work of a young demented serial killer.
Though what really happened is much more complex. [Ask me I dare u] His death drove his already unstable mother insane.

Uni ✩ˎˊ˗ @cherivil.bsky.social · 12d

A GINORMOUS amount of me and my best friends sonic OCs from the 2010's & more recent human characters all have a massive amount of world building around them - Jack being only a small interconnected character with ties to his direct family, a small friend group, a childhood friend and his gr//mer.

Uni ✩ˎˊ˗ @cherivil.bsky.social · 12d

Throughout the years, Jack has had a dozen tweaks to his design, especially before 2020 - which are still sentimental to me!

I've adapted his original design to be how he looked as a child and some of the more effeminate versions are inspirations for some of his crossdressing looks :D

Uni ✩ˎˊ˗ @cherivil.bsky.social · 12d

Above is a moodboard with some influences from media I consumed as a child & throughout the years of his development that have impacted the character he's become!
Has has, above all, always served as a martyr for expressing childhood trauma healthily

THIS IS JACK, originally a sonic OC [I know] created in late 2014 as a hypothetical child of a sonic OC pairing on DeviantArt
He inexplicably became my most beloved character I've adored for over a decade ♥️

LETS ALLOW THESE BOYS TO BE REALLY PECULIAR INFLUENCES ON ONE ANOTHER 💪 maybe some trauma solace, a touch of shoplifting, perchance some really deep conversations

Uni ✩ˎˊ˗ @cherivil.bsky.social · 12d

SHFKJSDF the fact this has been a continuous problem throughout our entire history together is appalling, as a kid I could not shut up about him

lil uni would be appalled, I will correct this 🫡

My house spouse helped me a tinge with the anatomy of one of them .... yet I still ... somehow made it kind of janky on a second glance .. (≖_≖

Some loooong overdue owed art for my beloved scandinavian neighbor Muyullia [mostly on ig & tiktok] :D Thought I'd post it here so it doesn't get completely lost in the sauce of my files 🪴🪜

I would lay down my life for them
