JACK-APEDIA

I don't really know where to begin as I'm writing this. I want to say the first time I laid eyes on him was...? Sometime late March 2024, around the 25th, maybe. I spent the first few days just browsing his wiki and watching YouTube videos for information, and was quickly enamored, especially from the sound of voice. His voice. Let me tell you, his voice alone does a lot to me--it's one of those voices that I generally like a lot, similar to that of Cookie Masterson from You Don't Know Jack (ironic, I know). Anyway, I watched a playthough of Tales on the 29th and got sucked in and there was no turning back. I soon bought the games and then played Tales myself.

Anyway, apart from my attraction to his physical qualities or what have you, I also appreciate how complex he is as a character. I know a few heads get turned when I say that this guy is like, genuinely the worst, and I don't have time to get into that right now but it's okay. He and I have a lot in common, I'd say. We have a lot of the same flaws, disordered thought processes, everything. In fact, this can piss me the hell off, but it helps me realise a few things about myself and what I need to work on. It's easy to cope through my own problems through art with him, get messages across. He understands me, and I understand him. That's a big, big part of all of this.

I don't want to make this page too long, I just wanted to do the one page where I can throw everything I can on there. Did you know that, before he became CEO of Hyperion, he was a programmer for the company? He is intelligent. Like, scarily so, and that reflects in how he's shaped the people and world around him, but it's something that draws me towards him, too. I wanted to relearn HTML & CSS for him, but I used the help of outside sources (like how this was a template), but I changed a lot of things to make it fit. I think, considering my skill level (not too great), he'd like seeing the progress I'm making. :)

Welcome to my evil OC x Canon selfship. There's a lot I can write here, but I think this is something you can check out for yourself.

I want to start off this part by explaining why they're called "corporate jargon," and it's pretty simple. I myself am an avid fan of linguistics, wordplay, language and the like, and have implemented this quality into Laith, the OC in question. Jack is a CEO... so he's, y'know, corporate. "Corporate jargon" refers to the kind of ~slang~ that's used around the office, things like synergy and pacesetter, you know, stuff like that. Apparantly people hate business jargon, but I am such a fan. I myself am a business major, so I think it fits. I sometimes just call them "Jargon," which I think still works anyway cause it kinda contains Jack's name in it. I dunno. Just work with me here.

I call them "evil" because their relationship & dynamic is just so, so messy. But it's fun! Trust me. The art featured here is stuff I commissioned from Pukaon on Tumblr!

Self-explanatory. I literally have two more things coming in right now, so not everything is featured here....

As of today, 10/29/2024, the following officially-liscensed Jack-related merch is featured: McFarlane Toys action figure (2017), Limited Edition Rvckvs bust (2015), Funko Pop! Borderlands 3 Metallic Gold GameStop Exclusive (2020).

Featured below: ...the fucking body pillow (2024). Payser says hi and is asking for you to save him. I don't even look at him most of the time I have him tucked in between the bed and the wall. Trapped.

I am currently waiting on: ANOTHER McFarlane action figure sorry... this one is one I found that was already out of the box that I can take out with me... I am too scared to get the one who's in the box out. Loot Crate Exclusive Light-Up Mask Replica (2016)

Also featured: The AMC Exclusive CL4P-TP popcorn bucket for that god-awful movie (2024), Mad Moxxi TUBBZ Cosplaying Duck (2019) <- SPEAKING OF the Handsome Jack TUBBZ is literally my favourite piece of merchandise there is of him ever. IT IS ALSO THE HARDEST TO FIND. I want it so so so bad and I WILL HAVE MY HANDS ON IT SOME DAY.

Unofficial merchandise: Mostly all fanmerch lol. But I have an itabag!!! As much as I would love a Jack-focused bag, I couldn't find much but I am super content with the bag I currently have :D I take it to school. I also have a Hyperion sweatshirt, kinda like the one he wears himself.

Fanmerch includes: Buttons of AI Jack (x4) & Rhys (x2) from Tales, Timothy (x4) & Rhys (x2) from BL3, Animal Crossing Tim & Moxxi Acrylic Charms, all by StartledStarShop + TPS & Bl2 Handsome Jack heart buttons and a Jack/Nisha charm by BoldEgoist, although the latter item is from a fanzine that had this charm listed seperately... but I really like it!!

I'm currently waiting on a custom-made charm I ordered myself after commissioning a design of Jargon... you can see the art of them in the corner of this page!
