Why I No Longer Support Anton Morrow Or Blessed Be The Wicked

Okay, we're finally doing this. As always: Do NOT harass anyone involved. This is not what this post is for.

So, this has been a long time coming. I know I keep repeatedly saying that I don’t wanna cause drama but at this point? It’s not even a drama anymore. There’s a glaring issue that’s been circulating the fandom for a while, and up until now, people have either been ignoring it completely or are too scared to say anything at all — which is understandable. I’m frankly scared to be finally making this post. But with most of the fandom beginning to speak up on this, now is a better time than ever. 

You’ve all most likely seen my latest, very angry, Jeff rant post, and some of you might have already put together as to who it was about: Anton Morrow, the creator of Blessed be the Wicked.

If any of you remember the whole “mistype” situation that happened in 2024 revolving around BBTW, you already know I have gotten into a bit of a spat with him before. Then it was all cleared up, and we were chill. But now, with all that’s been happening, I’m starting to question that situation as well.

When it comes to creepypasta, you gotta acknowledge and respect both sides of the fandom, because more often than not, they tie together. Anton, however, doesn’t do this at all, creating a space where people feel unsafe and uncomfortable like they have to walk on eggshells. 

We are not mad at the fact that you are trying to make BBTW horrifying, grotesque, and realistic. In fact, a LOT of people were hyped for your project. No, we’re mad that you have to be an asshole about it. Shaming anything that doesn’t fit into your view of what a character SHOULD be, hating on the fandom way more than you claim to love it, villainizing characters that should not be villainized, like Jane, who’s a VICTIM of Jeff, not doing proper research (apparently not knowing that Clockwork was an SA victim despite her being your “favorite character”), being a fucking hypocrite (hating shock value yet using it in your work as well), and most of all, claiming to be bringing back the old roots of Creepypasta when you don’t even understand or know what those roots are. 

This fandom has ALWAYS been cringy, weird, and unrealistic. I mean, we have a tall faceless man in the woods, a magical black and white clown, and a guy whose skin turned completely white because of BLEACH. This fandom was never realistic! 

You can only use the “I mistyped” or “you all misunderstood me” excuse so many times.

Are you telling me you didn’t mean ANY of this?

Like, if I recall, David Near’s, MBK’s, Pastra’s, AND Ekatlani’s Jeff’s are NOT soft boys at all. But you refuse to acknowledge that, don’t you? Because even if they are closer to what you claim to be looking for within a Jeff rewrite, you still hate them because they weren’t what YOU THINK the character could be. 

But somehow, that’s not even the worst part. No, the worst thing has to be what you’ve done to Leech. Characters change, I understand that. My personal gripe with her not being the character I initially was excited for anymore is just my personal bias. What’s NOT, however, is the relationship you’ve put her in with Tyrant. 

Now, I’m all for toxic relationships. I’ve written them myself, but this? This is straight-up fucking grooming. It’s non-consensual, and you straight-up called Tyrant PREDATORY. 

And the fact that you tried to edit your post to hide what you said first tells me all I need to know.

Not to mention, you continuously like to bring up how much YOUNGER she is than the other two (Context: She's in a poly relationship with Tyrant and a character named Marc)

This goes past a toxic relationship, this is straight up fucking CREEPY. You admit that Tyrant is using his VICTIM, cause that’s what she fucking is, as a way to feel like he’s not all the negative, that “he deserves love.” No. Just no. 

I’m disappointed. Tired, angry, and disappointed. I thought you were a cool guy, Anton. I thought all of you were cool. I was genuinely excited for Blessed Be The Wicked, as I’m sure a lot of the fandom was. But you showed your true colors the moment your project began to get popular. 

Not so politely, fuck you. And if all you can do is complain about is the fandom having fun, fuck off.

I said I was going to start talking about the rewrites I have, and what better way than just start with the poster boys, and I do mean boys!

Welcome to the first entry of my Creepypasta rewrites, I introduce the rewrites for Woods, Keaton and a variant of 2015, as well as my own original Jeff! We'll talk about this in chronological order.

Before we get into it I do have to preference there is a lot of lore that I'm not going to fully dive into here, cuz as you'll notice I have excluded a Jeff variant, as I'm saving Hodek for his own blog entry. My takes on Jeff depict the variance as a cult worshiping the original Jeff the killer, with Woods and Keaton at the head of it, well, Keaton is the REAL master mind.

Hailing from 2013, we have the ever well-known and (not very) beloved Jeffrey Woods, the second ever recorded Jeff The Killer. No I actually had a lot of difficulty figuring this one out, because he needed the biggest rewrite out of all of them, and frankly, I had fun and adore the end result.

Jeffrey Woods is still a story we know, and have seen time and time again, but there is a few major updates and differences to his origins. For starters, one of the major things I wanted to do and touch up on is his relationship and dynamic with Liu, and I went a step further to switch their ages, Jeff is once again the younger brother, with Liu being only a year older than him, making most of the stuff to come later make a lot more sense.

The other major change is the incident is no longer a birthday party, I rewritten and restructured a lot of the events without changing most of the beats, and this is the event I've changed the most, and it's aftermath, you see instead of a birthday party this takes place at a 4th of July gathering. The events play out somewhat the same, with his parents sending him to find his own entertainment and ultimately he ends up playing cowboys with some of the younger kids, before Randy and crew came onto the scene, pulling him away for a "chat".

Instead of guns or the flare gun this time around, no, Jeff is hit with some illegal fireworks, the incident burning him from head to toe, leaving him worse from where when the ambulance is finally do arrive and Randy is arrested. His pale skin is actually explained by the improper skin grafts, leaving him with ghostly pale skin, and in fact, he still has his eyelids. Rather than them being removed, his eyes are unable to shut properly due to a problem with the methods used to treat him.

In fact the events of the first murder are completely different, it is instead the family of Jane Arkensaw, leading to his parents seeing him coming back from the burning the house down, forcing him to silence them as well before visiting Liu. In this version of events there is no catchphrase, instead it's Jeff struggling to find any sort of comforting words for his brother, only what their parents used to tell them... "Shh. Just go to sleep." Before smothering him with a pillow and leaving during Liu's unconscious moments. Now homeless, and on the run, he's forced to fend for himself until!

Jeffrey Keaton, the third and most vile recorded Jeff The Killer, based semi off of the MBK version. He's more violent and manipulative, and audible stutter often signifying his enjoyment of his depraved actions. Unlike Woods, there had been something wrong with Keaton deeply from the start, hell it wasn't just him, his elder brother David was equally as vile. They killed their parents together, and wreaked havoc across the small town of Ferguson,

However, similar to his counterpart in the MBK-verse, he would be trapped in Krueger asylum and meeting group of colorful individuals. Helen Otis, Natalie Outlette, Katherine Knight, Diana Angels, and Owen Allaster. Eventually they would all find themselves free in the wake of Natalie's superhuman strength awakening. They broke out as a group, ultimately splitting up as Owen and Katherine returned to Slenderman, Jeff sought to find his brother, Diana Angels left to seek out answers to what she is, and Natalie vanished into the night.

Having split ways with his asylum gang, Jeffrey would find himself lured into an abandoned pizzeria, David strung up from wires, the mad head of the asylum was waiting for him, garbed in wolf mask and trench coat. The resulting class at ultimately end in the death of David and the first of many deadly experiences for Jeffrey Keaton.

In the aftermath of this, he would be indoctrinated and resurrected by Zalgo, infected with the demonic warden's influence, and ultimately coming to die multiple times.

Present day Jeffrey Keaton is a walking corpse, malnourished and rotting, bugs crawling beneath his skin and threatening to eat him from the inside out. He can only be described as a GHOUL, a zombie. His appearance began to resemble the ugliness inside of him over time, to be a reflection of the monster within.

He's long evolved from playing serial killing, now using the existence and concept of Jeffrey Hodek, he's formed a cult alongside Woods, calling themselves The Church of Smiles, which, unbeknownst to Woods, is a way for Keaton to highly rack up the amount of kills made in the name of Zalgo. The undead abominable aims to speed up his master's arrival, using the others as his pawns.

Our next stop is Jeffrey Coleman! A reimagined 2015, which is mostly the same for now, the only difference is that rather than the flare gun... He is suffering from a chemical burn that covers half his face.

Our final stop, the original concept. Jefferson Forester! The youngest of the jeffs here, and the most short-lived. Honestly I'm still working on flushing on his backstory, and general concepts for him...

I can't over say that I do have a lot of concepts for what he was during his time alive, but I do want to talk about him because he's how I started to like Jeff The Killer again. I actually originally hated the guy, and that just spawned from how I written a lot of variants were, and just the damage he did to the fandom as a whole. But, the goal for Forester was to create what I would like to see as the ideal Jeff The Killer.

Forester is an amalgamation of all that came before him, the stutter from keaton, a more thorough burning than 2015, leaving him a SCARRED mess, and he is the only one that actually has the catchphrase penned by Woods. He's twisted and chatty, he'll break you down psychologically before he takes your life.

Forester is egotistical and short sighted, he was the first one to come up with the idea of leaving carved Smiles as a sort of calling card for the church, and it's ultimately he that ends up creating this world's Nina. Ultimately, it's his ego that got some killed, for when Jack Revver came for him, he thought that nothing could stop him. I'll probably make a blog for him when I eventually return to fully flush him out.

So, yeah, I figured we start off strong with the poster boy(s) of the community. And I'm sure you've noticed them in the tags and their real names in thread, but there are plenty of pastas mention here that will get their own blog entries with time. Bloody Painter, Clockwork, Killing Kate, Zalgo Judge Angels and Nina Hopkins, all already have their own rewrites, and I'm actively working on the rewrite for The Red Artist

Hello everyone! In light of the Only Friends upcoming release, this NeoMark support account has organized a fundraiser for an MBK led ad for NeoMark!

Since this is the first time both of them have landed a main role, and the first time they work together as a cp, it would be nice to show them our support in... let's say a monumental fashion! We really want them to feel loved and appreciated for their hard work, and to know just how many people can't wait to see them together now and, hopefully, in the future as well!

Of course, the project is open to international fans. Here you can find the link to the form to fill out if you are able to donate! It also contains additional information.

Since I've noticed quite a few people here on tumblr are excited to see them work together, I volunteered to help spreading the word.

The ad would air a day before Only Friend's final episode and it would be displayed for seven whole days after that!

The group has prepared benefits for donors, but since they're based in Indonesia they are making the benefits optional for international fans, as each person would need to pay for shipping fees according to where they live.

Furthermore, they're holding a lucky draw! Whoever donates more than $25 will get an entry. The prize is yet to be revealed, but it's such a nice little bonus!

The project is supported by other groups, as stated in the photos.

Taiwanese fans can refer to @/mark_pakin_twfc on twitter or @/mark_pakin.twfc on instagram. Thai fans can refer to @/neobaseofficial on twitter.

If you can't donate anything to the project it's completely fine, help in spreading the word is just as important so just make sure to reblog!

Let's work together to support our boys!

Thank you so much for your attention!

Not As You Know Them: Recommended Reading Order

Please note this is a simply a recommendation to help things make the most sense, but whatever order you read it in (within reason) should be alright.

Titles link to the fic on AO3 - the numbers link to the relative post on Tumblr.

Surviving Five Nights -Something foul is going on at Freddy Fazbear’s. With creepy worn, old animatronics wandering around at night, something sinister creeping down the hall, and more questions cropping up with each passing night, maybe Yan should have considered getting another job.

01 - 02 - 03 - 04 - 05 - 06 - 07

Never Enough-It’s funny isn’t it? How just as you’re ready to give up on everything, as in absolutely everything, life throws you a bone…..to then beat you round the head with it.

01 - 02 - 03 - 04 - 05

Season One: Not As You Know Them -Dark found them, he’s brought them together under one roof, he’s offered them all the same protection from some unknown threat. But they’re all strange, unique people and other troubles are not far behind. How long can Dark really keep them safe?

Escape the Motherloving Nightmare - Stuck inside a deady game, Madpat and Natemare are fighting against some unknown opponent. Throw in a long estranged brother and an easily distracted drunken detective, how will they ever see who’s really in control?

01 - 02 - 03 - 04 - 05 - 06 - 07 - 08

[joels6string]

So it’s literally been years I’ve been on tumblr and I don’t quite know how it works so please forgive my lack of expertise - but just wanted to mention that MBK is so well written. The depth of the characters and the way the perspective/narrator shifts is so effortless and boy if the yearning isn’t so palpable! I wasn’t even simping Frankie Morales until I read your work! Selfishly I will say I am hoping there will be more soon. Keep up the good work!

Oh thank you so much!!! I’m so glad you liked it. This is so nice 🥹🥹🥹 I’m glad I could help you on your way to Frankie 🩵🩵🩵 he’s wonderful.

[onlylaboum]

cursed LABOUM-related news: former member Yujeong signed to MBK Entertainment.

it's not the same as the company that used to be called MBK; it's the new name of what used to be called T.S Entertainment. aka the label that physically abused the boys in TRCNG and failed several other groups.

i'm worried for Yujeong (obviously)

#Breaking: "Ten years ago today we launched the @MBK_Alliance to build safe communities." @BarackObama

Ten years ago today we launched the @MBK_Alliance to build safe communities and expand opportunities for boys and young men of color. I'm so proud of the work that more than 100 MBK communities across the country are doing, and can’t wait to see what they accomplish over the next… pic.twitter.com/9hqY6sWO9a — Barack Obama (@BarackObama) February 27, 2024 Source: X

“Oh you’re a Jeff fangirl/simp? You only love anime 0w0 anime boy Woods don’t you?! Ugh-“

Me, who’s teenage crush was motherfucking MBK’s Jeffrey Keaton the walking corpse: “Um… yeah let’s just leave it at that, I guess.”

Please this isn’t directed at anyone I just find it amusing lmao

[beerecordings]

Bee! I just got an influx of dollars and was able to purchase like, a reasonably nice microphone setup, so I’m gearing up to do more podfics, among other things. Do we have any fan favorites or Bee!favorites that people would like to hear recorded? Some of the contenders from last year were Punishment, the “Jackie uses Anti as self-harm” story, and The New One, I think it was called, the Eric Derekson story, since it was my first exposure to your stuff. There’s always MBK, of course, and this whole thing kinda started with me wanting to try and record MBC, with different Siri voices reading the asks and having the boys’ real names glitched out and whatnot. Any thoughts or preferences?

wow, that's exciting! well MBC and MBK would both be huge projects, but then again you should do whatever sounds most fun. how could I decide when the options are all mine?? I'd love to hear anything you made.

[nathantheauthor]

Yeah, with the new art drawn for me by the creator of Blessed Be The Wicked, and with the fact that we have another member of Ripper Inc stolen from the proxies in the pipeline... We need to talk about the boss, it's about time to dive into the other surviving founder and the CEO. The main director.

I cannot wait to dive into the psychological horror elements of his character, to show off how I deal with a character being self-aware, what it means to see the fourth wall. For everything I'm going to show so much off, I am taking notes from The Suicide Squad (comics), Hell Boy, The Strange Tales of Oscar Zauhn, Lovecraftian Horror, as well as David Near's "Morgue Files" and MBK's Jeff The Killer Audio Drama universe.

Get ready for the Jack Revver mega blog post coming anywhere between Wednesday and Friday, I'm very excited to share this with you all.

[universepersonagens]

( ooc: +18 ) Os fãs não param de falar disso! Parece que Yoon Minki/Minki Dang-Blanchette, mais conhecido como Yoon Minki, entrou para as redes sociais, sabia? Dizem que ele parece tanto com o Kim Younghoon! Ele nasceu em 09/09/1995 na cidade de Jeju, Coreia do Sul e atualmente tem 26 anos. Ele trabalha como trainee com foco em vocal na Cultural Media, deve ser muito talentoso… Ah, você quer seguir ele? Procura por @uv_minki e fica de olho nas novidades.

DEMAIS INFORMAÇÕES.

Etnia: coreano.

Personalidade: A determinação é uma das características mais fortes de Minki, ele nunca desiste do que se propôs a fazer e, às vezes, isso é mais um defeito do que uma qualidade, já que ele não sabe a hora de desistir quando algo está dando errado. Depois de tantas dificuldades, Minki se tornou alguém que lida bem com coisas ruins, as tornando rapidamente em piadas, por ter saído tão cedo da escola, a "burrice" acadêmica também é uma característica marcante dele.

Trainee desde: 2009~2010 em MBK Ent, 2017 em Rainbow Ent (empresa falsa) 2020~2021 em F4M e desde 2022 na Cultural Media.

Limitações/dificuldades: Com os anos de treinamento e experiência que já passou, era de se esperar que Minki restasse apenas com as dificuldades mais difíceis de serem resolvidas: na dança, apesar de poder considerado um idol dançarino mediano, ele ainda é um pouco duro e tem dificuldade com expressões, o que também afeta sua atuação, o tornando um ator difícil de trabalhar, Minki também não passa de um rapper mediano, apesar de conseguir copiar a maioria dos rappers ao fazer covers ou se apresentar, em 13 anos de experiência, Minki ainda não tem a sua "cor" no rap, em produção, apesar de já ter feito muitas, suas músicas são sempre conhecidas por soarem genéricas e não terem uma marca própria, em modelagem Minki já é uma negação; Dificuldade em modelagem, mediano em quase tudo exceto vocal.

Fofocas/rumores:

Minki já foi fotografado diversas vezes próximo a Bonnie, integrante do Nephentes, o que já gerou rumores de namoro bem controversos devida a diferença de idade dos dois, por Minki não ser muito famoso, esses rumores nunca foram levados a sério e nenhuma empresa se deu ao trabalho de esclarecer que os dois são irmãos.

É dito que por todas as empresas que Minki já passou, ele sempre foi do tipo de ajudar os outros trainees com as suas dificuldades, é dito que por isso que, mesmo com os 13 anos de experiência, Minki não teve tempo de treinar todas suas dificuldades.

Alguns fãs reclamam até hoje com a Culture que ela não deveria aceitar um trainee tão velho, aí da mais quando seu tempo para ter que servir ao exército está tão próximo.

Trabalhos:

Como solista (passado): Pose - Kino

Trabalhos em atuação: Long Time No See (Gi Tae - 2017); Love After School (Bang Myung Rok - 2017); Monkey and Dog Romance (Lee Seongwoo - 2018); My Ex Diary (Kang Min - 2018); All-Boys High (Nam Goo - 2019)

Músicas que produziu (outras pessoas podem usar): Crush - Seventeen Devil By The Window - TXT A Song Written Easily - ONEUS After Like - IVE Maverick - The Boyz Roar - The Boyz Thrill Ride - The Boyz Bomba - Kai Jelly Pop - Boys Planet Shall We Dance - Block B Golden Hour - Mark

BACKGROUND/HEADCANONS.

TW: Menção a abuso psicológico, machismo (violência contra a mulher) e breve menção a rumores de pedofilia/incesto.

Nascido Yoon Minki, filho de uma ex-modelo de passarela e um CEO de uma marca de comida instantânea, o garoto desde cedo mostrava o amor que tinha pelos palcos e pela atenção, então não era surpresa para ninguém que um dia tentaria se tornar alguém famoso, o que ninguém pensava é que sua vida seria tão conturbada. Sua mãe e seu pai se divorciaram quando o garoto tinha 5 anos, a guarda ficando apenas com sua mãe e fazendo o garoto perder 100% o contato com o pai graças ao comportamento violento do mais velho com a família.

Com apenas 15 anos, em 2010, Minki fez seu primeiro debut, sendo um dos primeiros idols de 1995 a debutar, parecia promissor e Minki adorava a atenção que recebia dos hyungs, mas o investimento no grupo era baixo e os lucros eram quase ínfimos, para não dizer negativos, e a empresa foi obrigada a anunciar o disband do grupo sem nem mesmo um comeback. Apesar do tempo curto, o grupo também foi teve um passo importante na vida pessoal do garoto: o CEO de sua empresa era grande amigo de um estilista vietnamita que vivia na Coreia do Sul e este ajudou nos figurinos do grupo, essa conexão pouco tempo se tornou algo mais forte quando o estilista se tornou seu padrasto e Minki se tornou Minki Dang-Blanchette adotando o sobrenome do padastro e ganhando uma irmã mais nova.

Como artista, o garoto continuou a usar o nome "Yoon Minki", sem revelar a relação com a nova família, com medo que o sobrenome complicado poderia roubar oportunidades. Ele não desistiu do sonho, pulando de empresa a empresa como trainee por anos. Chegou a participar de realities como Produce 101 season 2, mas suas posições quase sempre eram baixas, sendo eliminado nos primeiros episódios. Em uma empresa, chegou até debutar como solista em 2017 e o sonho parecia estar dando certo nos primeiros dias, mas seu tão sonhado debut só durou uma semana, o CEO de sua empresa foi acusado de fraude fiscal e após a prisão da figura mais importante da empresa não demorou muito para também declararem falência. Apesar do fracasso, o debut auto produzido chamou atenção de outras empresas que começaram a contratá-lo como produtor e, apesar de não ser seu sonho, ele viu como uma oportunidade de conseguir mais visibilidade para seu trabalho, sua beleza também chamou atenção de diretores pequenos que começaram a chamá-lo para trabalho de atuação em pequenas empresas. Foi produzindo para outras empresas e atuando que, em 2020, o garoto foi notado pela F4M, se tornando uma trainee, devido ao seus anos de treinamento e experiência ele já era alguém conhecido como "All rounder" e isso chamou a atenção de muitas pessoas, que esperavam ansiosamente pelo debut dele e juraram que ele seria parte integrante do Redlhg, mas, por algum motivo, talvez sua idade ou o fato da sua proximidade estranha com uma das integrantes mais novas do Nephentes que gerou rumores, o debut nunca veio.

Levado pela determinação - e também pelo fato que não havia completado o ensino médio em busca do sonho, que Minki continuou tentando audições até seu histórico como ator chamar atenção em uma audição pela Cultural Media e, em 2022, ele se tornar parte integrante da empresa como trainee.
