#i didnt forget that for the OB to happen the user must also use a lot of magic but i didnt know how to write this situation HAHA

[tinyfantasminha]

Imagine Jack overblotting because he saw his loved one in the school get hurt and he couldn’t do anything

[JOKING!! PLS DONT EAT ME!]

NO NO LISTEN EVEN THOUGH ITS A CLICHE ANGST TROPE I CAN SEE IT HAPPENING

(TW: mentions of injury)

I'm not sure if this was ever stated in canon but I'll have to guess that Jack's greatest fear is probably to become completely helpless; To be in a situation where he's unable to use his strenght to protect the ones he loves and himself. He trains religiously because he's building fortitude not only to his muscles but to his spirit as well.

Since Jack is also a mentally strong person, I don't think he would overblot over problems that are temporary or fixable; So in situations in which time would heal the wounds (either physical or emotional), he knows that as long as he stays by his s/o's side everything is going to turn out fine in the end.

So if he were to overblot, I think the situation would have to be of a much higher magnitude; It'd be something that would leave deep scars in both Jack and his s/o, ones that could not be easily repaired. His s/o would be deeply hurt or negatively affected either by the forces of nature or the will of fate... Possibly either in an accident or in a self-sacrifice act. Also there'd have to be heavy consequences, such as for example s/o's body condition being incurable, having amnesia and losing their memories of Jack, getting a curse that would last forever... And of course, the trigger factor for Jack to OB is the stricking realization that the situation could be avoidable. It could be avoidable if only he knew better, if only he noticed it sooner, if only he were fast enough, if only he were stronger enough... He'd keep blaming himself for not being able to protect them and for being so weak, which is the two things he's most deeply afraid of. And thus... boom, overblot.
