I also think that’s why Anti plays on all these fears; the longer Jack isn’t in full control of himself, the longer Anti can keep control. tl;dr: Anti isn’t a manifestation of Jack’s fears, he just shows up when Jack’s scared, and tries to scare him more. (2/2) Thank you for listening, I needed to get this out.
Fear can be a powerful mechanism to catch someone in a moment of weakness, Anti can- and has- used this to his ultimate advantage against Jack many times before, and even against us.
I personally still like the idea that Anti is a manifestation of one’s specific fears (no- not just b/c Jack himself has liked that concept as well), but it also makes him a lot more wary and to be careful of. How can you fight against someone who uses your deepest fears against you? It’s very Pennywise-like.
(that’s right, theirs so much stuff I need to split it up.
Okay- I didn’t sleep last night- here’s what I found in the jse vids
1.
In the sister location sieries, anti more often then not appears when jack is upset or has a high of some other emotion, most notably anger
. For example while jack is playing the sister location mini game he comes across a platform- that unanounced to the player leads to certain death unless you jump
(picture of jack dieing) at first he’s not to upset? But then he goes off on how you shouldn’t have a jump right after a flat piece of land because it’s impossible to see.
And as he gets upset and express his feelings anti becomes visible on the screen
. Another example of this would be when jack is going up against bon bon– as he gets upset the screen slowly begins to glitch, the sound effects slowly becoming more and more prominent-but the second hand unit says something it cuts off. (His concentration is broken- the emotion was changed)
. Next isn’t an escalation of anger but surprise– jack is genuinely taken by surprise at the sudden destruction of ballora and it’s during the initial reaction we see anti peaking through(the same thing happened when jack found the 2 security guards hanging)
2.
Jack used babys dialogue to explain and express how anti behaves as a character–
“Their is something bad, inside of me”
Anti is INSIDE of jack- a manifestation- an amalgamation of all of Jack’s fears and emotions.
“My fucking decent into madness and depression-”
Well- that’s self explanatory.
“I’m pretending– Remember how I said I could pretend? The cameras are watching, I must be careful not to move.”
Anti is pretending to be jack- mabey he can pretend to be the other egos to? Idk, that part isn’t specified.
3.
in 2016 their was a video, (swimming in poop|pipejob) that heavily implied that anti was all ready in control
“Hi there. My name is Jack.”
(RIGHT after jack says this the screen glitches . Can be Seen blow & in video)
(yea, that’s how anti smiles- you can’t convince me otherwise)
4.
What I was able to get out of this
Anti is a being that feeds of of Jack’s emotions- but becomes stronger when the feeling is negative.
Anti wants jack to go mad- he is the driveing force of Jack’s depression (it makes sense because anti feeds of of the type of emotions depression comes with)
Anti told us in Fucking2016 that he was in control and we didn’t notice shit. (We “just watch”)
Anti has the ability to talk through other entities in people
Anti is a good actor
Anything else? Remember that this is just part one- trust me. I’m not even close to being done
All dominant species in the galaxy has something that sets them apart. From healing broken bones and severed flesh, losing 2/8 of our blood, to being infected by literally billions of parasites, Humans have the gift of simply refusing to die. It freaks the heebie-jeebies out of everyone else.
“They are such small, fragile things. In the face of something truly worthy of fear, what are they going to do?”
What a large question for such a little planet. Of course, the answer was obvious: they wouldn’t be able to handle it.
Intergalactic wars had always been fought, those with regenerative powers surviving and those with strength emerging victorious. Some did best running or hiding in the shadows. Each universal war was the same, a mechanical cycle among the stars.
Until a human wrench found itself dancing with massive, time-proclaimed gears.
All could feel the next war boiling up, threatening to spill over into disaster once again; however, one species known for intuition had a feeling.
“There is something off about this war. It isn’t the same as the ones that have come before: no, this is going to affect us on a greater scale than ever before, a scale that we can’t even comprehend, let alone prepare for. Heed my words. Do not fight this war.” The words were wise and well sourced. To the peace council, the answer was obvious. For the rest of the universe, well…
“Cancel the war? What a stupid notion. That council has never done a thing, and now it thinks it can just stop a war by speaking?” The fiery Glanth laughed as it shook its head. “We’ve been disrespected by the Anoric for far too long. It’s past time for us to take what’s rightfully ours!” The bar screamed its approval.
“The war is already won. The Glanth are cowards who choke confronted with conflict. Our hand is utmost: victory is viciously in view. Do not desist in your digilent duties! Fight for freedom! Reach for reputation! Life is limitless.” The Anorics roared in raucous ratification.
The war had begun, and it would not be stopped.
It was in all of this that the little planet was forgotten. Fragile creatures who hadn’t yet reached beyond their moon were of the least concern to anyone.
Wait…
They were only supposed to be on their moon? So why was one spotted among Anoric ranks? Another with the Glanth? Two more seen in the peace council plaza? How had they gotten so far without being seen?
An intergalactic announcement was made, decreeing that any human off of its planet was to be killed on sight. With war on the horizon, humans weren’t a risk anyone was willing to take. Besides, just because they could travel wouldn’t change they fact that they were weak. They’d be gone within the qop.
It had been 3 ½ qops since the last human was found. The war was at its peak. Life went on.
5 qops. The war was over. The Glanth did not win.
Neither did the Anoric.
The victors were from a little planet with a single moon. They had come in at the beginning of the fourth qop from all areas of the universe. They spoke in a tongue indesipherable by the best translators, with a military strategy that by all accounts made no sense. Yet here they were. They had survived persecution at the start of the war, and the war itself. Humans had the lowest casualty rate of any race in the war. They were struck down again and again, losing limbs and blood, but never once losing the fight in their eyes.
That’s when it clicked. When everyone realized. Humans didn’t need to be strong. They didn’t need armor or weapons. Throw them a length of rope and a degrading remark and you’ll find yourself at their mercy within the hour. Humans don’t just die. They fight until they cannot move. They scream until their lungs don’t remember air. They will pick themselves up until their fingers are worn away, bleeding reminders of their efforts. Humans aren’t human at all, and yet that is what makes them so alive.
This was spine tingling to read, I would love more 😄😄
