You need a job job! (Go get a job job!) Oh, you need a job job! (Everyone job job!)

The thing that confuses me is people referring to M.Bubbles by she/her pronouns. Their design is incredibly androgynous, with the only female-presenting thing about them being their voice. Not to mention that Job Job’s art direction was made by Owen Watson and Owen Watson’s art style suffers from “Diverse selection of differing body types & designs and women”, so if Bubz was actually a lady: it would be super obvious and they would probably look something like this:

Most definitely

They're all SOMEWHERE on the LGBTQ+ scale

I mean, they LOOK like a messed up, murderous pride flag

I headcanon that all of them are queer you can’t change my mind

[bliz-lol]

I drew a more human version of the Wheel.

I also have a headcanon that the Wheel and [redacted] are the same person (just for fun guys, don’t take it seriously)

I was able to draw another Jackbox Fanart. This is the Green Detective from Weapons Drawn on Jackbox Party Pack 8. I had a crush on him for a while, and I really dig his design. So I decided to draw him and he looks fabulous! I’m gonna try to draw more Fanart of Jackbox Party Pack Characters. If you have suggestions on what Jackbox Game I should make fanart of, please let me know! But sides ahead, what do you guys think of this?

My Opinions on the Jackbox Games from Party Pack 8

JOB JOB is HILARIOUS

DRAWFUL ANIMATE is CREATIVE

POLL MINES is INTENSE

Wheel

WEAPONS DRAWN is-SWEET CHRISTOPHER

Hey, finding someone cute and them being wholesome aren’t synonyms. Give M. Bubbles the gun.

"I don't want to be a wholesome nonbinary character, give me a gun!"

-M. Bubbles, probably.

^ You ARE the wholesome nonbinary. All the guns in the world won't change that. If we find [REDACTED] cute, you don't stand a chance.

Guy: I'd sell my soul for a racing car.

The Narrator: (appears in a puff of smoke with a racing car) That can be arranged...

Guy: Meh, I changed my mind.

The Narrator: (disappears, pissed)

Helen: Guy, stop pestering Satan.

The wheel of enormous proportions from the jackbox party pack 8

The Wheel Of Enormous Proportions from Jackbox Party Pack 8 is just a little guy!

Job Job feels like it was designed to be sold individually.

And i’m not saying that because Job Job’s single-faucetly carrying the entire Jackbox Party Pack 8 on their back to the point where it should just be renamed to Job Job and Co. (i’ll get to that later), but because of how darn REFERENCTIAL IT IS TO OTHER INSTALMENTS OF THE SERIES!!!

And it’s not like in Mad Verse City where you can destroy a building called “Guy Towers”, or DODE telling the player to go play Fibbage if you run out of time: ALL OF THE PLAYERS ARE LITERAL REFFERENCES TO OTHER INSTALMENTS!!! 

That would be like if in Bidiots, all the paddles were silhouettes of other instalments, or if all of the humans designs in Monster Seeking Monster were exclusively made up of characters from previous packs instead of just the semi-scraped orange guy from Fakin’ it.

Out of the 21 idles that occur when writing down responses, or coming up with your resume: 16 are Job Job-esc, while 5 references other instalments. That’s 23.81% of the games idles being references. On it’s own, maybe it seems like i’m overreacting in the idles department, but add that onto the fact that these references are EVERYWHERE ELSE IN THE DAMN GAME!!!

This is probably the game to have THE MOST REFFERENCES TO PREVIOUS INSTALMENTS out of ALL of the Party Packs, nay, THE ENTIRE COMPANY’S HISTORY!! It’s frankly excessive, and would not be as distracting if it was it’s own standalone game! (which it frankly should be) It there was a mod that removed every asset that contains a reference to another instalment, not modifying them to remove the reference, REMOVING THE ASSET IN IT’S ENTIRETY and replacing it with a black box to still get the game working: the game would have a lot of black boxes, i’ll just leave it at that.

It feels like they were designing Job Job to be it’s own title, but then realized that they needed to make a Party Pack for that year and then just quickly took a bunch of scrapped ideas and stapled them onto Job Job. The casual fans certainly treats it like that’s the case.

I mean look at the Steam Community for The Jackbox Party Pack 8 and you’ll mostly see screenshots of Job Job and The Wheel of Enormous Proportions’ funny responses (something that can be emulated by a Discord bot as shown by their official Discord server), with the occasional screenshot of someone winning ether The Poll Mines or Weapons Drawn. Families aren’t hovering over The Jackbox Party Pack 8 asking “Hey, do you guys wanna play this pack?”, they’re asking “Hey, do you guys wanna play Job Job?”

To make a long post short: Job Job not only feels like it’s a standalone game by it’s quality compared to their Pack-mates, but also because of the unhealthy amount of references it has to other games, to the point where the players can’t even have their own identity or charm! 

Thanks for listening to my Talking Points. Rant over.

"And as for you... you're STUCK with me~"

Since I've gotten back into Jackbox Games, one new hostess that caught my attention was Laverne Caverne of The Poll Mine. I HAD to get to work on a design. I ADORE her voice, her quips are hella entertaining to listen to, and she's probably one of the more powerful hosts. She has her own version of the EYE OF SAURON for heaven's sake! Not to mention she happily lives in a cave FULL of monsters! Who knows how many people she's gotten killed in that cave! Maybe even more than [REDACTED].

Gushing aside, I felt like giving her a traditional witchy look, just with some added flare. It's hard to tell under all the shadow hands, but her dress has some layers to it. Her witch hat also has a little curl at the top. I'm sure I'll be drawing this lovely lady more often, so you guys will probably get a better look at her at some point. I made sure to add her special eye with her drippy pupil, complete with a little shine! I'm surprised more people haven't drawn this cave witch, she's easily one of my new favorites among the Jackbox crew.

Aww... One not very good situation happened to me... I deleted the tumbler to think about my drawing style, but in the end I can't go to it... I thought about it and decided... That for your sake I will return my old style, but I will improve it.. And, I will post this post with hashtags about the jackbox so that they know about it... Wait for the art! ^^
