It's true that we sometimes mimic people we admire, or we take on the style of someone we want to like us, or even that we get inspired to be better people by love interests who give us new things to hope for...

But in some case, we unconsciously mimic people we feel connected to, that we feel more alike.

Jack sensed Dean's raw fear, his primal emotions, and despite everything that was going on in his life (humans considering him a threat, angels trying to kidnap him, demons trying to kidnap him, Princes of Hell wanting to use him to open monster worlds)...

...Dean is who he chose to emulate.

While Jack modeled his "look" on Cas, I think he's subconsciously drawn to Dean because he IS like him (emotionally). It's not forced. It's not an act. It just is.

Dean senses this too. It's why the initial "you don't think I can be saved."

#dean mimicked john because he idolized him THAT is true #but jack is more complex i think in that he has multiple ppl to choose from #jack wants dean to like him BUT part of his mimicry imho is because IS LIKE him at his molten core #i'm gonna go out on a limb here and say claire is the opposite...#she models her look on dean but IN FACT is at her molten core more like cas and sam (and esp like jimmy in how she wanna be important!!!)#claire and sam: https://shallowseeker.tumblr.com/post/741536204125765632/last-one-just-look-how-at-ease-dean-is-with #cas is in many ways his own bird... in between dean and sam's modes of emotionality #kaia nieves is def more like dean on the inside with her *i don't matter* mode of self-worth... it's why kaia and JACK get along #wayward sisters #jack stuff #emotional cores #jack and dean and mary #spn lost and found #spn the rising son #i think there is a THIRD ARENA i dont' talk about much #and that's their romantic lives... in which dean is actually like JOHN in this arena #and romantically cas is actually a little bit like mary in how he navigates #sam is his own bird romantically - very all over the map #i feel like jack's potential romantic partners were a bit like little rowenas... so I SUSPECT jack is like sam in his romantic arena #i feel like all have arenas: personality-behavior + emotional interiors + romantic inclinations that all reflect one another #in cute little ways
