#jacksepticeye ego theory

[cloakedbynight]

It just hit me that the "leaks" on the IRIS twitter page have not all had the same exact logo. I think that's something we should pay attention to, just saying.

Originally reading this I thought it was just "here's what it MIGHT look like" but now I'm thinking there's more. It's hard to tell the timeline of issue 0 but it sure does seem like Marvin's been tracking the different logos he's been seeing and each one is from a different universe.

hmmmm….

(this will contain spoilers for ALTRVERSE)

So, I was just looking through Jack’s Instagram when I saw him post this to his story

Now I was interested in what this movie is about since it’s October and… here it is. But one thing about the description caught my eye

As you can see the words ‘Laboratory’, ‘substance’ and ‘to transform her into an enhanced version of herself’ are underlined. Because…. Does this remind you of anybody?

Now, although Ion X never offered to give Jackie powers, his powers in the description of his comics are:

and yes- his powers are enhanced abilities that people have.

IDK I could be looking too deep. But it’s kinda fun to theorise and definitely makes me think that the fun and games in Jackie’s comics are dwindling down as we get to the end. As things are gonna get MUCH more serious

I know this is probably an old post so sorry for just appearing- a friend dropped it me in a server. I honestly heavily agree with all this. I think there is something more to Anti being evil just because. I just sense something deeper and more broken to him than what is really shown and all of this makes so much sense! i always thought when he mentions how we "replaced him" etc seemed way deeper than just anger. He was (and is?) angry about it. why wouldn't he be? However, i think there is a lot of pain behind it too. me and @statictay were talking about Anti because i saw this post:

on how we have seen Green Anti and Red Anti so if there is a blue aura (or Blue Anti) that would mean we see all three colours for computers and I know most(?) of us agree that the IRIS logo with three circles possibly represent the RGB. Static pointed out that Blue Anti turns out to be sad Anti and that contrary to popular belief- green means anger. Which honestly i can see, it makes sense too because Anti always seemed jealous which could stem from feeling "replaced" and "pushed aside". And like florenceisfalling said Anti went to go prove himself to be more powerful- which lead to him going way too fucking far with it. And that now he isn't really trying to 'prove' himself that he is powerful and should be feared. (maybe he is trying to make everyone fear/hate him because thats easier than tryna get ppl to love you) Whether, thats because he is now or what is really up to see. However, matured does seem best term for it. I also don't fully believe Anti is per say, evil. Not only because of above but, because Anti is not human. He knows we as humans have rights and wrongs and such but, Anti not being human and therefore not having the same morals as humans wouldn't see an issue with half the stuff he does. We know its bad and he knows we see it as bad or evil but, he doesn't understand WHY we do plus if it gets him his results quick and efficiently than he ain't gonna stop doing them really? This also leads on to my point that Anti was either created by IRIS in attempts to make WTCHR (possibly a failed experiment that went rogue) or IRIS trapped Anti and used him to create WTCHR (because of ANTImatter) therefore possibly being poked and prodded at before either tryna be killed or to just left to 'rot' for lack of a better term. Which, would cause a lot of negative feels- not only for others but, to themself which would link back to possibly why Anti always shows up in those types of vids. Wasn't one of IRIS first experiments linked to controlling positive and negative emotions? Which backs up Static's point on how she thinks the attack on IRIS seemed rather brutal and in rage which could link to wanting revenge (or it could just be Anti doing it on a blind rampage. Who knows?) but, I also want to link it to my idea that Anti attacking IRIS and then approaching Chase. With Anti's own worse experiences with IRIS he probably sees it as his way of 'saving' Chase. However, I also see it as that twisted over protective, possessive thing of "he is my toy only, only i can torture him" kind of thing. Seems rather in character for Anti, imo. Anti could have also done it because obviously IRIS want him for something, whatever that reason maybe, and Anti wants no part so he is getting rid of the threat where and when he can. Two birds, one stone.

Anyway, thought id have a ramble because I'm firm believer theres something a lot more complex to Anti than being evil just because and this is one of the best posts I've seen that sum it up on how I feel on anti as a character. Thanks to Static for sharing it with me and letting me know some of their takes on it aswell. It was really fun!

I think a lot about Anti because i have no life lmaoo.

i know im usually way too invested in my own batshit hcs to talk about canon but i am thinking some Thoughts about canon antisepticeye like. the fact that the only times we’ve seen him physically hurt someone he was controlling them from the inside. when he was cutting jack’s throat he was cutting his own. thinking abt how he said “there are no strings on me” with such pride, how he knocked on his chest so hard it must’ve hurt just to show that oh, look, he has a real heart now, has a body to wear. and i know we make fun of him for being a drama queen, i don’t mean to treat him too softly, but damn do you remember how upset he was about us “replacing” him. like yeah he’s evil and he’s scary and his laugh could give you chills but fuck i really think he’s hurt. i really think he was hurt and in the process of trying to be less weak and powerless he went too far, way, way too far

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.

[kalcifers-blog]

So I had the idea that all of the JSE Egos get possessed by Anti at some point- but all of their possessions look and work completely differently in comparison to each other because rather it being based on what's possessing them- Anti is utilizing what they perceive as their own worst traits/the image they have of themselves (in an extremely /neg way).

It's worth mentioning that it doesn't necessarily mean that these perceptions are true or not- the only thing that necessarily matters is that the Egos themselves think that it's true.

I'm going to go through each ego, describe what their possessions are like and go into detail as to why they're like that.

Buckle in dudes this is gonna be a long one

Chase Brody:

Chase to me has the most unstable variation of the possessions. His plays on the fact that they're constantly questioning their reality and feeling like a danger to not just himself but to those around him. Right now it's unclear if Chase has been experiencing alcoholism or his unstable view of reality before Anti but I do think Chase's entire life has been nothing short of turbulent it's a constant crashing rollercoaster, with the carriages shaking uneasily and sparks flying everywhere and the only thing he's able to do is hold onto the ride and hopes he gets to the end of it unscathed. Chase's possess has ALL of this on full display- it's the closest thing to the original Anti and it's far from pretty.

Visually I think the closest thing to Chases possession is Jinx's Hallucinations in Arcane. They're made up of the faces of his lost family mocking and taunting him while everyone else can only see Chase as an extremely unstable individual with unnatural eyes

[This shot in particular with the glowing eyes is what I imagine P!Chase to be like]

Marvin The Magnificent:

Now I've already briefly shown how I imagine Marvin's possession- and if I'm being honest it's my favourite one!! Marvin would by far be the hardest Ego to possess out of all of them, he's the only one with actual knowledge on Anti and the only one with the power to fight back against him. With that I think that Anti would only be able to possess Marvin with the help of IRIS- be honest, IRIS would JUMP at the opportunity to see what effects Anti could have on an individual with magic the way Marvin does. However, Marvin's biggest flaw is definitely his arrogance and his isolation. His "trust nobody" mindset has left him cold and uncaring to others and in my opinion this is something that he doesn't do because he enjoys it- something about Marvin screams that he wants to be able to connect with others but can't at every turn and that's what is portrayed in their possession. They're cold, robotic and uncaring. Their magic has been locked away deep in their subconscious because Anti knows it's too risky to let them utilise it. They've been forced into a state that's far removed from who Marvin really is. In a way it would make sense with how much of Marvin's memories have been tampered with for god knows how long- at a certain point there's only so much of yourself you can lose before you become unrecognisable to yourself.

The inspiration for P!Marvin is Chipped Catra from She-Ra Princess of Power

JackieBoy Man:

Jackie was by far the hardest to come up with- mostly because I couldn't come up with something that narratively would make sense. But I came to the conclusion that Jackie's worst perception of himself would come from the idea that he's not a true hero and only hurts the people around him, that he's a danger or a monster. That his powers make him a threat rather than a saviour. I personally think this would be a lot more effective if Jackie was possessed after an experience that left him doubting his role as a hero- maybe he couldn't save someone or someone he was trying to save and ended up dying instead. His grief and self loathing would come together into being possessed into being a weapon.

P!Jackie is nothing short of a weapon made for destruction- something that was designed to destroy. Part of the horror would be for him to wake up from his possession, only to realise that the ones he cares about the most and the only people he has left are now afraid of him and wants nothing to do with him.

The idea for P!Jackie is Infected She-Ra from She-Ra Princess of Power

Henrik Von Schneeplestien:

Henrik was another one that took me a while to figure out but I did eventually get to it!! Henrik would come from his insecurities as a doctor, the weight of people's lives being on his shoulders day in and out would wear him down over time and the idea that he could be at fault for the deaths of many whether he could've actually saved them or not plays in his brain so much its unbearable. Henrik's possession would take form as moss- or a general depiction of something rotting, a walking contamination that he can't heal or fix and he knows he's the route problem and to keep everyone else safe he'd need to remove himself from the equation. For the most part I don't think he'd be aware of how far his corruption goes, at first he'd write it off as being unwell, overworked maybe, but he has seen the others get possessed and harmed by their own possessions and he would never let himself succumb to that. Doctors do make the worst patients after all.

The inspiration for this has came from The Corruption in The Magnus Archives and Belos from The Owl House

Jameson Jackson:

JJ's possession is the one I'm most proud of and it's the one that's the most loyal to his debut in 2017. However the way I perceive JJs possession is that he is almost the exact same. But it's not him. He's fully conscious and aware of everything around him but he's trapped in his own skin with movements that are not his own. He's forced to watch and able to do nothing when those around him drop dead by his own hand. And the worst part about all of it is that Anti is clever enough to make him continue his daily routine, to carry on as normal. To let JJ see those closest to him not notice that something is deeply and horrifyingly wrong, that the person they're interacting with and bonding with isn't who they think they are. And no one notices. And there's nothing he's able to do about it. It's a play on his fear of no one really seeing him for who is is, no one notices something's wrong because they didn't know him to begin with. The entire experience makes him think about how much he actually spent time with these people. How much of him do they actually see and how much of Anti has painted over that.

If anything I might tweak Chase or Jackie's possessions slightly because they are extremely similar to each other??? BUT part of me wants to keep the similarities between them a constant thing because I personally see them as being two sides of the same coin

JJs possession was inspired by The Stranger and The Web from The Magnus Archives

… 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.

[septicwriters]

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!

A S K THERE.

Did the Title Change?

Okay, I know I'm going crazy here. With the launch of the new comic and Lore of the Egos from JackSepticeye. I decided to go back and rewatch some of my favorite videos and theory videos from MatPat.

But like the title here says and I have to ask this because I know it's been over 5 years ago Mayhem (May 2018). Is it just me or did the title of the Video change?

The First Screen Shot is from MatPat's Filme Theory Jacksepticeye Must Be Stopped (Iris Project). Now, at first, I thought MatPat just got confused with the name of the title so I went back to see for myself.

The Second Screen Shot is literally from the capture of the actual video! My Multi-Fandom Fiends, did the title of this video change?

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?!?!

[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.
