#this is what jacksepticeye's playthrough does to the human brain

[theeldritchcorporation]

determination.

ive been getting back into undertale and the Urge to draw Overcame my soul. my favorite traumatized child, frisk. hope you guys like it!

[teacup-captor]

Neat list you made!!! I'll respond in the same manner :D

Undertale got me into so many fandoms on accident, I think lol And yeah I love the D:BH mechanics, totally get what you mean about the story. Wish it didn't have as many quick-time events seeing as I have processing disorder (not an actual disorder*)

Oh my god yeah I have the same thing, I think it's because you're directly responsible for any consequences when YOU'RE the one playing? Like that makes it more real somehow? Our brains are bad at differentiating fiction from real life

Ohh!!! I recommend Jacksepticeye's playthrough! Gregg is also one of my faves, but Mae is my all time fave (Mae is my Bae /j) because I relate to her SO FRIGGIN MUCH I actually wanted to name myself after her for a while

OH MY GOD YOU KNOW ABOUT THE RUBBER DUCK THING YOU KNOW ABOUT THE RUBBER DUCK THING YOU KNOW ABOUT THE RUBBER DUCK THING!!!!! Personally for me coding is super understandable because I just read it exactly like a machine would read it, and I realized earlier that if you translate the code into human it becomes understandable for people who don't know coding as well :P Also the psychology behind the rubber duck thing is you have to explain what each and every line does so eventually you'll be like "And HERE it says this and that, which is supposed to- no hey wait" and then you realize there's an error in the grammar or that you've made a logical error yourself

Fair

OH MY GOD YOU KNOW ABOUT THE MUSICAL YOU KNOW ABOUT THE MUSICAL YOU KNOW ABOUT THE MUSICAL!!!! FUNFACTS RAPID FIRE: I'VE PLAYED PORTAL SINCE I WAS A LITTLE CHILD I COULD BARELY UNDERSTAND ENGLISH BACK THEN SO I NEVER KNEW WHAT GLaDOS SAID. I FINISHED PORTAL 2 BEFORE PORTAL 1 BC I'D PLAYED THEM BOTH AT THE SAME TIME JUST IN BETWEEN EACH OTHER, I PLAYED THE ONE I FELT LIKE PLAYING WHENEVER. IN THE PORTAL 2 LEVEL WHERE CAVE TALKS ABOUT BURNING PEOPLES HOUSES DOWN WITH LEMONS I DIDN'T FIGURE OUT THE RIGHT SOLUTION AND ACCIDENTALLY MADE ANOTHER ONE WHICH I USED FOR YEARSSSSS, I'VE MADE MY OWN PORTAL 2 CHALLENGE WHICH MAY OR MAY NOT BE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE, I HAVE ALL OF THE ACHIEVEMENTS, TECHNICALLY, BUT ON STEAM IT SAYS I'M MISSING ONE BECAUSE I REMOVED ALL OF MY ACHIEVEMENTS FOR MAKING THE CHALLENGE AND FOR SOME REASON STEAM NEVER GAVE ME ONE OF THE AUTOMATIC ONES, MY FAVORITE CORE IS WHEATLEY, SECOND FAVE SPACE CORE, THIRD FAVE FACT CORE. I HAVE AND WILL KEEP SAYING THAT THE MOON IS MADE OF YOGURT AND BROKEN DREAMS AND I'VE BEEN AN AVID PORTAL 2 THE (UNAUTHORIZED) MUSICAL WATCHER SINCE 2017

I LOVE THE OWL HOUSE SO FUCKING MUCH OUR SYSTEM HAS A HUNTER AND A FLAPJACK (OF COURSE) AND I STARTED LEARNING SPANISH PURELY BECAUSE OF THE SHOW. LUZ REMINDS ME SO MUCH OF ME WHEN I WAS 13 SHE TOTALLY HAS AUTISM AND ADHD AND NOBODY CAN CONVINCE ME OTHERWISE. I AGREE BELOS IS A CONFLICTING CHARACTER, I DESPISE HIM WHICH MEANS HE IS, IN FACT, WELL WRITTEN.

I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. For me personally it became a huge comfort in 2017-2018 bc I was dealing with A LOT of shit at that time, so I'd spend every night in bed imagining me being Steven's twin and basically I'd just imagine hanging out with Peri (my fave :D) and in general be not okay but getting the care I needed so it helped so much <3

I KNOWWWW I HAVE BEEN DRAWING SINCE BEFORE I COULD HOLD A PENCIL (/srs, I started drawing with those like crayon balls that a baby can grip) AND I JUST NEVER STOPPED (considering adding the image of the gecko guy I've been drawing while we've talked)

I feel like the term in itself is descriptive but also I feel like it's more of a spectrum rather than a binary thing like people are making it seem like. If I have one particularly strong special interest, it'll be so intense that I won't count my other special interests as special interests for a while, but now that pretty much all of my special interests are about the same intensity I'm much more inclusive of what I count as a spin or not. Also there's just like a vague vague line between "strong normal interest" and "weak special interest" which I have so much trouble finding ngl (TOTES UNDERSTANDABLE. I LITERALLY JUMPED AND SQUEALED WHEN U MENTION PORTAL 2 THE UNAUTHORIZED MUSICAL AND THE RUBBER DUCK THINGY)

Okay fuck it if this post reaches 666k notes by the end of 2023 I'll practise basic self care

Why 666k? Because it's funny and impossible so good fucking luck

Solid Snake Impression: When did you first start watching Seán?

In early March 2017 when I found his Night in the Woods series!

Survival Hunter: What kinds of games/series do you like watching him play the most? (ex. puzzle, survival, horror, silly, short, long?)

I love watching him play story games because I can get really immersed even if it would be hard to play the game myself.

The Stanley Parable: What series have you NEVER watched?

I know this is like heresy or something, but I’ve never watched a full episode of Happy Wheels. I’m sure there’s other series of his that I don’t know about and haven’t watched.

Surgeon Simulator: Do you laugh when Seán rages at games, or do you get just as frustrated as he does?

Kind of both? I’m thinking about Getting Over It, where we all had a laugh but it’s so frustrating even to watch.

Life Is Strange: What series can you always go back to and pick up wherever?

The only series I can watch out of order, even if I’ve already seen it, are the ones like Reading Your Comments or Will You Push The Button where the order doesn’t matter.

Reading Your Comments: What’s your favorite thing about being in the community?

We have almost no drama, and when something does happen it’s resolved in like a day. Not that we’re perfect, but I’ve never felt sucked into arguments and crap like I do with fandoms sometimes.

Shadow of the Colossus: What’s your favorite series of all time?

I’m biased towards Night in the Woods because that was my first, but Stories Untold is up there. I’ve been meaning to rewatch it.

Subnautica: Have you ever gotten a game for yourself after seeing Seán play it?

Yes! Night in the Woods (before I finished watching his playthrough actually), Monster Prom, and Event[0].

The Sims: What series can you listen to in the background while you do other things?

Things like House Flipper which are kind of funny but not brain intensive.

Five Nights at Freddy’s: Have there been any games you wished he would’ve finished, but never did?

I wish he’d done more than one episode of Stardew Valley. You can’t “finish” that in a Let’s Play, but it’s a shame he didn’t get to make more.

Fran Bow: What’s your favorite horror series on the channel?

I haven’t actually watched a lot of his horror series. Probably Stories Untold if that counts as horror, otherwise Oxenfree.

Undertale: What video/series do you think has had the biggest impact on you?

In a meta sense, the NITW series had the biggest impact because it’s why I watched all the others. Watching Sean’s DDADDS playthrough was when it hit me how accepting he is, which was honestly a huge relief. Not that I thought he wasn’t, but it was still good to see.

Happy Wheels: What’s the longest series (in number of parts or video duration) that you’ve watched all the way through in ONE sitting? (If you’ve never watched a whole series in one sitting, what’s the longest series you’ve ever watched in general?)

I’m so bad about watching a lot of things in one sitting. I probably would have watched A Normal Lost Phone (two episodes) in one sitting if I weren’t watching them as they came out. I’m currently watching Detroit:Become Human, so when I’m done with that it will be the longest series I’ve watched in general.

The Jacksepticeye Power Hour: Are you following ego lore? If so, who’s your favorite ego and why?

I do follow Ego lore, but not as intensely as the true theorists because I don’t pay that much attention to background things. My favorite ego is currently JJ, though I love the others too.

Bloopers and Outtakes: What’s your favorite blooper of him you’ve ever seen?

Either “Robin! I’m drunk!” or “I need more volume in my curls.” Honorable mention: “My name Cletus and that’s my chair!”

The Last Guardian: What’s a video/series that always makes you feel warm and fuzzy on the inside?

So many? How do I even choose? I’m going to go with DDADDS.

Detention: What video/series/moment on the channel is the most memorable for you?

I almost have Marvin’s Power Hour memorized. Not intentionally, but every moment in that episode is iconic.

Night In The Woods: Have there been games he’s played/series that resonated especially with you as a person? What were they?

Definitely. Night in the Woods is the main series that did because it’s about mental illness and dissociation. Other one-shot games or moments hit me in the moment I watched them and left an impression. Sometimes I remember a moment from “What Remains of Edith Finch” and it still hits as hard as the first time even though it’s been months since I watched it.

Kindergarten: What have been your favorite voices for game characters he’s ever done?

Mae and Papyrus, but honestly every voice he does is gold.

Bendy and the Ink Machine: What games are you most excited to see him play in the future?

I hope he someday finishes the sequel to To The Moon. It’s fine if he doesn’t, but if it’s anything like the first it would be a nice heart-wrenching game for the channel.

Septicart Event: Have you made any good friends since joining the community?

Edit: I forgot to answer this one. I have made friends IRL that I probably would have had anyway, but we’ve bonded more by watching Jack together.

Far From Noise: Have there ever been moments when watching a video that he’s said something that you just needed to hear in that moment? If you’re comfortable sharing, what video was it?

I know this has happened on multiple occasions, but I can’t remember specifically. “Far From Noise” did come at a very appropriate time in my life though.

Doki Doki Literature Club: What series has taken you the most by surprise, and why?

Honestly, DDLC for obvious reasons. Life is Strange also surprised me because of how anticlimactic the ending was.

Human Fall Flat: What video/series makes you laugh the most?

The bloopers! I can’t breathe from laughing when I watch the bloopers.

Charity Livestream: What’s your favorite part of charity livestreams? (ex. the playing games part, reading donations, hitting goals, MadLibs, etc.)

I love having Sean on in the background all day while I do other things. Like he’s there and interacting with the community and I can tune in and out.

Simulacra: What series had you feeling the most on edge while waiting for the next episode?

I’m usually slow to watch series, so I rarely have to wait long. I do remember being tense while waiting for the second episode of A Normal Lost Phone.

The BOSS: If you were stuck in a video game but got to choose which one to be stuck in, what game would you be in, and why? (Optional: bring Seán with you!)

DDADDS! It’s a short game, I get to be a dad dating dads, and if Sean comes we can share custody of Amanda. I date Robert, he dates Craig, and everything is great.

God of War: What’s your favorite JSE community meme?

POSITIVE! MENTAL! ATTITUDE!!!!!

Tour Vlogs: If you could give Seán one thing (literally anything– a piece of art, a plane ticket, something you wrote, something from a game he’s played, whatever it may be), what would that one thing be?

A hug.

Stories Untold: What series have you gotten the most immersed in while watching it?

You said it! Stories Untold!

TIE: Has Seán had an impact on your mental health? (If yes answer to this can be as long or as short as you want)

Not only did Sean introduce me to Night in the Woods, which I played to get through a couple of funks, but he also indirectly introduced me to the concept of comfort gaming. Whether I’m watching him play something chill or playing something on my own, video games can be relaxing.

A Way Out: What are your favorite collabs of his to watch? (ex. Prop Hunt/GMod, Golf With Friends, Sea of Thieves, A Way Out)

Sea of Thieves is hilarious because it’s so broken and also pirates. Any time he and Robin hang out is always fun.

Detroit: Become Human: What game characters has Seán made you the most emotionally attached to?

Honestly, I think I just get attached to who I get attached to regardless. Like while watching DBH I got attached to Markus even before Sean started liking him.
