i think people's takes on jev being this like thousand year old creatura are fascinating and fit even my interpretation of his character and place in the story (as like. a representation of the setting at large. an archaic force being shoved into a simulation/loop/machine. cosmis horror kinda shit) but i also think it's 1. funnier 2. scarier 3. more emotionally scarring to imagine him as like. a 30, 40, 50 year old man. just a quirky little guy. he had a childhood, maybe he got picked up by seam as an urchin and they were a travelling magic act and clownery and judy n punch duo and they stole apples from the market and he climbed trees w his little paws before someone made him wear shoes. he was a brash teenager and he played the accordion and kept all of his trinkets in a little chest he used to sleep in. seam made his suits, from his own crayon drawings. he was a middle aged man disenchanted with his work and he sought shelter from the boredom in bothering others. and he ran away so many times and he slept outside and he helped seam make their own beer and mead and they still played the accordion and the hurdy-gurdy together. isn't it scarier to make him a normal man? who turns into what we see? doesn't that hurt more doesn't that make his character even deeper. he was just like you and this means That can happen to you too, grounding stuff like that is like one of the basic rules of horror. and then he just goes to jail they straight up lock a mentally ill guy with all those horrors in the basement - not an old-as-time-itself demon, not a savage beast, but. a man. jevil russian sleep experiment au.
again im not calling anyone out its just an interpretation ive NEVER seen anyone else come up with and i genuinely wonder why and if my other jev readings continue to be weird as fuck to other people
#jevil#its kinda like. a reverse dc joker situation. the jerker does get like. INSIDIOUSLY scary and mind-fucky when#you turn him into. i wouldn't say satan himself that takes the edge off. but something completely unknown.#im casually writing a batman script in my own continuity and i could never keep up w All The Lore cuz thats not what batman is abt to me#and i took most of my inspiration from a serious house on serious earth and. those intermission strips in snyder's endgame#where people from an asylum or a nursing home i can't quite remember that had encounters w joker#describe him as all sorts of things but not human. and not in like oh he's a monster but like That Is Not A Homo Sapiens#and they're not listened to because they were all suffering from delusions and hallucinations before that but#yea. i hate jerker origin stories i hate them with my whole entire heart. make him the unknowable. not even a demon not satan#nothing of folklore or religion not even a lovecraftian something-something. just an entity. maybe not even an entity. he's an scp to me#not even a character. just a concept with a design. an apparition made to teach humans a lesson#you dont know how he got here you dont know why you wont ever know when he'll be gone.#give me judge holden but even more amorphous and. not scarring me for life. but u get the idea#im tryyyiinnnggg to write joker like an apparition of a schizo psyche like my dreams.#my favorite song to 'write' j to is freefall by rainbow kitten surprise. and he's just a figment of bruce's imagination here#just a little more tangible. vague and wrong but it's j. probably. and it's bruce's pov. it's a couple lines of dialogue#that's j. jevil is the opposite.

MORE ANTONBLAST SPOILERS AHEAD
Annie:
- Is only in it for the chaos, like Jevil and possibly The Noise
- Has a bad cough (but it only seems to affect her when she’s resting or talking)
- Kind of reminds me of Niffty for some reason (Okay, I do know the reason; it’s the hair and the gremlin energy)
Nina:
- Is married to Danton (which, now that I mention it, makes it weird that I ended the last post with the “pick your man-crush” joke)
- Has the same line when dying in Antonball that Birdo has when defeated in Super Mario Advance (“How could you?!”)
- Could probably stab you with her nose
Brawlbuster:
- Is basically Rawk Hawk as a mole in terms of personality, but Tiny Tiger as a mole in terms of his boss fight.
- Has an attack where he charges across the screen an increasing number of times, like Shake King from Wario Land: Shake It! (the fact that he’s only vulnerable at the end of it makes it similar to Red-Brief J’s dash from Wario World, too)
- COMES IN WITH THE CHAIR (but only when he’s pissed)
Tallbuster:
- Is longer than Longcat and Tacgnol (but not longer than Lesser Dog’s neck at maximum stretch)
- Has a face like Fake Crash
- Goes to sleep if you don’t burn him at the start of his fight (maybe you know that, maybe you don’t, but I bring it up because it’s cute)
- Probably represents Sloth because his long body lets him be in two places at once, minimizing movement (now that I think about it, it’s weird this doesn’t affect how you fight him, although to be fair, the sleeping thing is already on brand for Sloth, as it means he can’t be bothered to start an attack pattern unless it’s in defense)
Smallbuster:
- Is tiny and possibly a child, you dingbat. (You’re lucky that I’ve dropped the whole “crush” aspect from the last post!)
- Does machines, including one that has missiles. Missiles!
- The way she gives up at the end of her fight and just ineffectually charges at you like Ado in Kirby’s Dream Land 3 (or Adeleine in K64) is so cute
Maulbuster:
- Is the opposite of the dude in that one Aerosmith song (seriously, I thought she was a guy until I saw the name of the achievement for beating her, although I suppose I should have guessed it since she’s quite clearly a Brunhilda)
- Is the most foul-mouthed Brunhilda I’ve ever seen (seriously, she makes you dodge swears in her fight more than your visiting relatives when they bring their kids)
- Shakes the stage when she lands right before you finish her (which is easy to forget, since she’s the only Bossbuster this applies to)
Jewel Ghoul:
- Uses the player’s transformations against them like a Wario Land boss (his card-squishing move that puts Anton/Annie in an extended Tornado state)
- Is clearly inspired by various Cuphead bosses, especially King Dice and Glumstone the Giant
- Has a Dingodile-tier badass boss theme
- Will probably need a seeing-eye dog for several months because of the head cast
Freako Dragon:
- Has a Ripper Roo-tier wacky boss theme (the stock flute sound commonly used to represent Asian dragons is a cute touch)
- Also has a cue from Meat Circus in his boss theme (any “Psychonauts mentioned” comments?)
- Apparently vacationed in Brazil sometime ago (if you enter the casino’s hidden Brazil room and find the secret photograph, he’ll be in it even if you haven’t beaten him yet; you’d better believe me on this because I started a separate save specifically to test it!)
- Has a Raphael the Raven-ass final phase (although comparisons can also be drawn to the final level from Battletoads, the tower from Mickey Mania, and basically every level from Nebulus/Castelian/Tower Toppler/whatever name that game goes by in your region)
Ring-a-Ding:
- Is basically the Fake Peppino of the game (a boss that surprised players because he wasn’t shown in trailers, a boss with a monstrous final form, a pretty strong mindfuck the first time you see him, etc.)
- Is a BAB (Biblically-accurate bell) whose boss theme reminds me of the bells from the Futurama theme even though they’re not really that similar
- Cost me three hours of my life trying to get CRACKED in his fight just because of the slam attack in his final phase (the one laser ambush right at the end of the “flying” phase - immediately before the freefall - certainly didn’t help, either, and it wasn’t until after I got CRACKED that the patch nerfing that section went live)

*spamton has left...he rememberd where he left his keys and left you and jevil at the "December" puzzle to go get them*
J: uee hee hee, and there he goes :)
K: yeah...
J: oh this needs two people right? I'll get it, I'll get it!
*he jumps over to the other side and starts the puzzle*
G
K: hey jevil, why did you come here? I mean this is the cyber world there's surely something you'd rather do thats more fun then this.
J: probably, but I've done quite a lot of it before coming here.
K: already? How? We just got here like 30 minutes ago.
J: uee hee hee~
K: nevermind
A
J: besides while mischief, mischief and chaos chaos mean alot to me, there's something else I value much more. And that's REALLY saying something!
K: You tried to kill us for the sake of "fun" what could you possibly value more than that?
J: freedom
K: oh...I guess that makes sense
M
K: you do know your not really "free" right? You lost your mind and were locked away! That's not freedom, that's the exact opposite!
J: well maybe not to you. But there are different kinds of freedom you see, physical, mental, emotional, believable...quotable. ;)
E
J: there are different types of imprisonment too. all of them are awful but the worse of all is the kind that makes you think your actually free, actually free
K: what...do you mean?
J: you trust the jailor....you think their your friend friend...you wanna make them proud
O
J: they know this and promise freedom to you if you do what they say, what they say....but in reality your in a prison far worse then any basement
*as you walked pass another building you notice jevil's silhouette changed, it was still him but it looked stronger and more dangerous...almost demonic....you feel a chill run down your back*
V
J: anyone could be that jailor...but YOU could never be! Right Kris?
K: RIGHT! uhh I mean right, I'd never do something like that
J: uee hee hee~ I know you'd never, you'd never!
E
J: do you know why I know?
K:...
J: because you already know what would happen if you did...
R
*Does he know what happened? No, that's impossible. Nothing happened. Something almost happened but you chose no to let it happen...you feel like this time that choice REALLY mattered*
J: uee hee hee~ you should see the look on your face right now! You look like you just came face to face with the devil, the devil!
J: by the way thanks for helping spammy out of that rut. Your a real pal, a real pal.
J: I should probably go catch up to him, he's my teammate you know.
J: good luck finding yours!
J: BYE BYE!
*Jevil has left*
