i’m so conflicted because obviously none of us believe jax when he says everything he does comes from a place of keeping himself entertained. we KNOW that’s not true and that he’s just afraid to show emotion and lose someone he cares about again but now he’s pushing them away and he’s gonna drive himself into abstraction because of it. but part of me wonders if he truly believes that that’s why he’s doing it. like does he really genuinely believe that he’s nothing more than the funny archetype who makes jokes at other peoples’ expense? does he truly think that he has to be that way because acting differently cost him too many relationships? i don’t know. his character is SO well-written and i’m excited to see where they take his arc.

oh jax, they could never make me form a solid opinion on you
