The lack of empathy towards Jack is killing me

People saying things like broke!Joke did much more for grandma than Jack is just pissing me off. It's not true

What Joke did was more emotional I guess. He spent time with her, cooked her food and got his dad to speed up the surgery to reduce the hospital bill...that will still need to be paid...which is what Jack is taking care of. And it ended up putting some distance between him and his friends & family

When you think about it, he's all alone. Or at least, he thinks so. And yes, I'm aware that he sort of made it that way himself because he doesn't want to rely on people to help his problems, but still. Him not asking for help is not because he doesn't think people can help him, it's because he doesn't want people to get involved and suffer any negative consequences because of his problems. And instead of feeling bad for him, people are annoyed/angry? I just don't get it

Joke doesn't feel alone anymore. He's still sad, for several valid reasons, but he bonded with grandma, Hoy, Tattoo, etc. And he's getting help and support from them without him asking

But Jack is the person people go to when they have problems. People ask for his help, not the other way round. He acts strong, like everything is under control (Tattoo saying "he has probably forgotten about his friends and grandma by now" was great to understand that they don't get what Jack is actually going through). They think that they are having it hard while Jack is fine

But he isn't. He was about to break down in the hospital room, and I like that Joke finally saw it. It was nice seeing the anger leaving Joke's body after seeing Jack's facade crumble a little bit. Now, Joke doesn't understand everything but he knows that Jack is hurting, which is why Joker will be back next episode. To (try to) save Jack

Jack is bottling everything up and I need him to explode, crash down (just a little bit because I love him and he suffered enough), then get back on his feet

Also I still think Jack needs a hug, like getting hugged. So far (if i'm not wrong) he's the one doing the hugging
