do you have any general jack Thompson headcanons? but also peggy and Jack friendship hcs bc I love them.

WOW i have not thought about jack in a while but he's still my favorite rat bastard. i really love the idea that he (after the big lifestyle turnaround that started in s2 and i think would have progressed into s3, fuck you feige) becomes peggy's deputy director when she's promoted to director of shield. they canonically actually work really well together and have very similar styles of leadership/getting shit done, in the 0.5% of time they're not at each other's throats about something or other. i also would have KILLED to see him becoming reluctant friends with angie. every conversation they ever had would have been the funniest thing i've ever seen. get those bitches fake married undercover (they would have HATED it).

in terms of more jack-exclusive headcanons, i'd wager that he likely had a pretty rocky relationship with his dad where he was constantly trying to make his dad proud and just couldn't because his dad's standards were impossibly high, and his mom either died just kind of emotionally checked out somewhere along the line. (on a completely unrelated note to this, you might be able to tell that i'm an x-files blog these days. in my defense, this is a long-standing headcanon i've had). i also think that he probably doesn't ever get married, whether for married-to-the-job reasons or can't-maintain-a-relationship reasons or closeted reasons. however i do admittedly think that the idea of jack marrying like a doctor or some other kind of woman who could kick his ass and having like three to five daughters on whom he absolutely dotes (and who are always getting up to batshit insane national-security-level-shenanigans with the carter-sousa kids) is really fucking funny. he would have had to undergo really substantial character development in s3 for that to make sense though

sleepover asks!!! (i think? if this was just you popping by to chat about jack thompson i will also gladly take that lol)

I think I’m crazy.

Ok. so I’ve been stuck on this for 2 years now. I am 99.99% sure the original plan for Peggy’s husband was to make him Jack. He had a redemption arc and everything, he looked her type too (Blonde hair blue eyes, just like Fred & Cap)

Anyways so, I was rewatching Agent Carter Season 2 for the gazillionth time and considering the overanalysis i have done of this show this might be a stretch…

Sorry can’t build a coherent thought cuz… well im too excited while typing this.

Ok, so we know how Peggy called Manfredi an idiot for causing the death of like 6 guys cuz Whitney dumped him right? And then Daniel freaking sympathized with Manfredi calling him “a man in love”?

Yea well, I think they were foreshadowing.

Here’s my reasoning (stay with me here):

Peggy: “Mr Manfredi, we know you have a relationship with Whitney Frost”

Manfredi: “Yea everyone in town knows that. Everybody also knows that she dumped me for a crooked politician”

…

Ok. So here’s where i draw my comparisons. Literally everyone feels the tension between Daniel and Peggy. Everyone knows they want to be together. So obvious. Just like Manfredi and Whitney’s relationship.

But Whitney dumped Manfredi for her “crooked politician”.

We know Daniel ends up single despite the make out session they had in his office at the end of season 2.

Also, we all know Jack is… well he can be a bit crooked.

So my theory basically is that in the original planning, Peggy dumps Daniel for Jack for god knows what reason and that’s that.

Thank you for sitting through my brain finally unraveling, I hope this made some sense 😂

if i were the agent carter writers, i would have given peggy two boyfriends, and the boyfriends would have been boyfriends, and then she could also have a girlfriend or two, as well

Thinking about how Peggy never asks for Dottie’s real name or ever seeks out any identifying details about her this evening. It’s something that has always puzzled me about the interrogation scene. Considering that they’re looking at Dottie as a permanent fixture in their prison system, it seems peculiar that there is little to no interest in using her to uncover more about what they found of the Red Room in Belarus (knowing, based on reliable similarities, that Dottie comes from the same or at least a very similar background) and the type of person they need to look out for (and also… you lived next to this woman for weeks, if not months Peg).

But then I think of how Peggy approaches Dottie. “Fear is the one chip that little girls who grow up handcuffed to their beds learn to trade on. And I, for one, am not afraid of you.” And she uncuffs her. In full respect to Peggy, Dottie doesn’t try anything and, based on the conversations had on the other side of the mirror, they’re at it for a long time.

This idea of fear in mind, I wonder then if Peggy doesn’t inquire about anything personal about Dottie because she knows that there is very little that’s real about Dottie. Even just in her time in New York, she has been Ida Emke and Dottie’s whole monologue about ‘girls like you’ and how ‘now I can be anybody I want’ shows how transient the idea of identity is to Dottie and it’s a detail that Peggy has not missed. It’s even possible that Dottie doesn’t know who Dottie is and such a possible line of questioning could bring her even further from her goal (neutralising Soviet threats on US soil) than where she began. It’s not like Dottie really ought to be going anywhere anytime soon, and thus it is a line of inquiry that can be tabled for later.

And that is the difference between how Peggy and Jack approach her. Peggy outlines exactly what she wants from Dottie without flinching, knowing that there is more beneath the surface and respecting that that is a rough topic that is not conducive to her objective or her subject’s mental state. The subject is more likely to get cagey and evasive if asked about personal matters, so she asks about something solid, something she knows Dottie knows and something that opens a line of more personal communication wherein Peggy is in charge and control.

Jack, on the other hand, doesn’t know what he’s asking Dottie. He’s mimicking what he’s seen Peggy do but he doesn’t know why he’s doing it and that’s why Dottie can see right through him. He’s the stick and Dottie has been raised knowing only the stick.

Goodness I love this show.
