>> it is so rare to find a story with this amount of detail paid attention to about not only jarvis' mental state, but waysvfor him to learn and improve! <<
Thank you! He's one of my favorite characters.
>> so many stories that include him either make him out to be infallible or unflappable, so its really nice to see him panic and flail a bit. <<
When dealing with things that he understands fluently, JARVIS is pretty unflappable. Until Tony hurts himself or disappears, and then *KERNEL ERROR* happens. When dealing with less familiar things, JARVIS is curious and methodical about exploring them, but he can get overwhelmed and then he starts to worry. Nobody has only one emotional state.
>> I can't wait to see him interact with more people outside of tony and grow as a person. <<
That's basically the story arc for JARVIS throughout "Coming in from the Cold" and probably the next story or few. He's had long enough now to start understanding how the team fits together, getting to know people, but then he has to figure out how to handle eight core users instead of just Tony.
>> I'm also excited to see him participate more in Game Night, I think its cute that him and Phil team up to take care of everyone. <<
Yay! They're making progress.
>> However I can't help but wonder if Jarvis will ever get a chance to be taken care of that way? <<
It's possible. However, that will take time to set up, because first JARVIS needs to get comfortable with the team, and exploring Game Night in his usual caretaker mode, and having people pay attention to him as a friend.
>> Scenes like the part when Jarvis makes a dum-e like noise to tony and Phil realizes that that's his equivalent of 'baby talk', or the scene where Jarvis admits to Phil that he had a difficult 'childhood' and Phil compares his experiences to the rest of the avengers <<
These are early hints that JARVIS has a growth process too, and that he has the potential to shift around mental age like the Avengers do.
>> just makes me want to see him get a chance to experience some return care like Phil gets when he's acting as Flip. it'd probably be more challenging since Jarvis is not only not human, <<
It would take more thought to figure out how to make this work, but it's possible.
>> but can't really disengage from his responsibilities in the tower so easily, but its a nice thought. <<
It's feasible, though. First, JARVIS can move or divide his awareness; he already does that in terms of running Iron Man or the tower or playing hide-and-seek. Second, there are automatic processes for most of what he does. Those are needed when he's unavailable, such as down for repairs. It's not quite as simple as one of the Avengers changing into pajamas, but it's doable.
