[spoopyandtired]

Current anti possession theory and how his mental manipulation works on Chase, Marvin, and the other egos.

Altrverse ramblings because I’ve got ego brainrot something fierce (Altrverse spoilers below cut)

I know there’s been a lot of lore changes since the 2016/2017 era egos so not sure if this will even be relevant but tbh just wanna get my thoughts down

I know it’s been pointed out before but I keep thinking about the “oh shit” knowing look the twins give each other when the man all in black is mentioned.

It makes me wonder if the whole “Anti gets more powerful the more people talk about him/say his name” thing from the early ego stuff is still canon and is the whole reason the twins decide to erase everyone’s memory and cover up the murder. Like if they have even a small inkling of how Anti operates maybe this is their attempt to kill the potential of people talking about him and making him more powerful. And is Marvin remembering what happened and investigating going to wind up just feeding into Anti’s power and making things worse??

I had kind of wondered back when I first watched Anomaly Found if that’s the reason Anti was called ALTR 114209 by IRIS, as a way of getting around saying his name. But then again we know other ALTRs go by numbers so maybe that’s not the case at all.

Tbh it’s also entirely possible that bit of Anti lore has been dropped entirely with new Red Anti™️ and is no longer relevant, but just something I’ve been thinking about.

… I had a realization.

For years,

and I mean actual years, across multiple different appearances,

Antisepticeye has broken the fourth wall on us. Claiming that he's shattered the veil between his own world and ours, claiming that he's bridged the gap between fiction and reality.

Up until recently? It's always been him coming through to our side of things.

…

But in this moment, at the end of the IRIS video?…

… he pulled us through to HIS side. Quite literally, straight through the camera from which we were watching.

There's a strange and exciting turn of the tables in this situation, especially with the whole IRIS setting wanting to test the limits of the possible. Lots to be explored in this universe, and we've just scratched the surface.

Hey, just had a thought. What if, at some point, we get a crash course through the ego-veres. And we see, like other ego characters that are not considered, "canon". Just like, Marvin drags Chase through the portal, and they see glimpses into other worlds. We see Robbie, S3AN, hell, maybe we even see Jack. But, we only focus on the six because those are the ones Anti is after right now. I think that would be fricking awesome!

MY IDEAS REGARDING ANTISEPTICEYE!!

Okay straight off the bat- I think Anti has never been human, I think whatever Anti is predates any human currently alive and possibly any human being that existed before then too. Whatever Anti is, it has existed for far longer than any human being could ever feasibly comprehend. But

I don't think they're a "God" or a "Demon" either. I think any terms humans have come up with in the past would only diminish the true scale of whatever Anti truly is. And to truly appreciate what Anti is, is to accept that you'll never fully understand. Whatever goal he might have is quite frankly incomprehensible to humans- it's like an Ant trying to figure out why a human would be mowing a lawn or what a lawnmower even is. All the Ant sees is the violent, gigantic machine beyond anything it's ever seen, tearing apart its home and its colony.

I feel like that's the point of Anti, we all love to theorize and draw meaning to things all the time, because it's human nature to want to know- I think Anti going against that very instinct is what makes him so terrifying. Anti needs us to pay attention, to keep feeding into him to continue to watch to see what he does next- it's like he's trying to get us to find a solution to the problem, knowing that we'll never find it because there never was one to begin with.

I feel as though Anti sticks in like an embedded thorn. One that's dug in so deep under the skin that the top layer has healed over- but the thorn is still there, maddeningly scratching away at your insides as you desperately try to figure out what's wrong. Figuring out the solution to your problem is to tear it out of you.

That's how I imagine Anti is to Chase. A thorn deep inside a long healed wound, only there to twist and pry into him, a sick reminder of the wound long after it's healed.

In my mind- the only real way to stop Antisepticeye realistically within The IRIS Project, is to accept that you never will.

So it's been a while since I posted, it's currently 2 am in my area and I'm running on 4 hours of sleep. But that's not the point because WHAT THE FUCK WAS ON TOTM TWITTER?! I can get behind on the ALTRVERSE teaser on Jack's twitter but TOTM?! What the heck was that foreshadowing?! Is it Anti? Is it a new coffee? The translated version of the code were "He's been different" and "I'm coming". Am I overreacting? Should I sleep?!?!

som anti and chase ( and jack)

An Easter there

Absolutely I'm dying😁

Sean has hinted that we don't know all the egos yet and it makes me think about how the glitching in JJJJ looks nothing like Anti at all, and well maybe it was never Anti possessing Jameson in the first place, and maybe he's not being possessed at all. The style of glitch looks moreso similar to the glitches in the film when Echo was speaking to Chase, and that's just based off who we know of so far. The pure grey glitch with Silent Night playing too; it looks like no one we know of but it seems to imply JJ can cause glitches all on his own. Eight, not six, we have eight. And we have no idea who is hurting who and who's tangled with what beasts. I can't wait to unravel all of this yarnball.

If I had a nickel for every media I've seen where the protagonist meets the antagonist at the end of a hallway I'd have two nickels, which isn't much but it's weird that it happened twice.

(technically I'd have three if you consider AF:CB to also be a "hallway meeting")

[appreciating-chase-brody]

So I have been pretty out of the loop when it comes to the Ego comings and goings. Last thing I saw was the Chase Video (and I swear it was not three years ago. It literally can’t be).

Point is, I just watched Anomaly Found…

YALL WHAT HAPPENED. I HAVE SO MUCH TO CATCH UP ON.

WHAT HAPPENED TO ANTI BEING JUST A LITTLE GLITCH BITCH. BRO IS HORRIFYING NOW.

[n-anon]

I just remembered this so now you have to as well /hj

Possible theory...

So, this came into my head and tell me what you think, and you can put your thoughts in the comments below, since the Help Wanted 2 trailer had the elevator from Sister Location and maybe the game might have some Sister Location...need to keep an eye out for a certain ALTR that might appear, just like his first appearance in Sister Location. But it's just a theory...

[darkipoop]

crack theory: anti and jbm are exes

[pxxppet]

Some suspicious screenshots. 👀 I definitely spy a person in there.
