This was the first video where Anti seemed enraged. Before he always had a confident, almost mocking tone when addressing us. Today he had a very aggressive, furious aura around him. He was very expressive in his movements, and he cursed at us. He blatantly threatened a certain boy… a favorite boy…
Anti is jealous of Chase.
A while back, Chase started getting pretty popular on here. Fanart, gifs, edits, theories and more were being made about him. We kept hoping to see him again. We were so focused on our happy lil Chase that we started paying less attention to our Glitch Bitch.
The community seemed to have a new favorite ego.
And Anti noticed.
At one point, Anti threatened Chase. He called him a “Fallen hero.” Because of this comment, the community did start to pay more attention to Anti, but in a… different way than Anti would’ve probably liked.
We stood up to him. We created protection blogs like @chase-brody-protection-squad. We made more fanart and theories about Chase. The community sided with Chase; we decided we wanted to see him happy with his family more than we wanted to see Anti again.
Him not being the center of attention is a BIG deal to Anti, because unlike Chase, Anti’s life relies on our attention. Chase was randomly created by Jack as a joke. Anti however, was created by us. He’s our creation, and if we all stopped paying attention to him, he wouldn’t really have a reason to exist if no one cared.
Chase and the rest of the egos threaten Anti’s survival. The more we care about them, the weaker Anti becomes.
Be forewarned, I am not usually the one doing all the research and whatnot. I don’t comb through videos frame by frame but this one… This one intrigued me. And I’ll tell you why.
There’s not a lot of solid fact on Anti. Sure, there’s lore that floats around, different head canons and ideas people have. But no one is really sure what he is or what he really wants. In fact, this ambiguity is part of what makes him so interesting.
But I’ve been in this family a while now, long enough to remember when the Anti hype really started up. Before Halloween, when he was an idea. We had Darkiplier, who basically captured our attention entirely until suddenly… he didn’t. Suddenly, theres this new, upstart glitch (or whatever he is, at that point we weren’t really sure) who waltzes in and immediately grabs attention.
This is what I find interesting about Anti. He’s narcissistic. He desperately wants us to notice. To take heed of his words, to hang on them like they’re all we have. He feeds off the attention, in both literal and metaphorical ways. There was an idea around his real debut on Halloween that if we ignored him, he would go away. But he didn’t. He crept into the cracks, making surprise appearances and keeping us on edge. “Was that Anti?” we whispered, “Oh god, what’s going to happen?” Because not only is he narcissistic, he’s a drama queen. He knows exactly how to play it to get the most attention. So he waited. He watched, he listened, he learned. We gave him all the ammunition he needed. We formed ideas, giving him power without realizing it. He grew stronger, as strong as he needed to be in order to execute the next part of his plan. The next victim.
Schneeplestein.
Now, Schneeplestein is not somebody we’ve seen in a while. For a moment, he seemed to have fallen by the wayside. This, i think, was part of Anti’s plan. He needed to revive a lovable character we all missed in order to make a statement.
From the moment the video starts, we’re clued in that something is wrong. Jack doesn’t usually do these videos, the Doctor does. Then, suddenly, Jack is sick and we are left with the Doctor. This arouses excitement for the return of a character but also a nagging sensation that something is still not right.
From as early as 2:23, we’re given signs that Anti is fighting his way into the spotlight
But while the image is glitching, we see that it is still Dr. Schneep.
Further along, in his diagnosis of Jack, Schneep mentions mood swings, saying “Always with the mood swings, one time he’s one person, the next time he’s a completely different person.” Thanks for that, Schneep. Another sign that there might be more than two people in this video. Somebody is trying to get in. He then says, “But this is the Jack we know,” followed by a harsh glitch of Anti, up close and personal, but only for a split second. The fact that the glitch was Anti in his true form, however, shows that he’s gaining ground.
You’ll notice that after an Anti appearance, Schneep always has trouble with his eye. Just the one.
In the next glitch, we see that maybe Schneep isn’t doing as well fighting Anti as he’s letting on. He’s bleeding from the eye that was bothering him earlier, and the glitch seems to go between himself and Anti. He’s fighting back hard, but it’s not looking good. And we’re only 4:22 minutes in.
Then, as he’s prescribes [Anticoagulant], he makes note that when “something gets inside your body and wants to destroy you from the inside out, there is only one way to deal with it. And that is schNEEPLESTEIN.” Followed, of course, by a glitch. A serious one. The demon eyes are out in full force and he’s growing more aggressive. Anti is winning, whether Schneep likes it or not.
I guess you could say he’s not “looking [him]self”.
This is the point at which Anti starts to assert his control. Schneeplestein’s control over Jack’s body (or however you think that dynamic works) is weakening, evidenced by Schneep’s discomfort in his arms and eye. Those aren’t mood swings, Schneep. That’s a demon. Oh, and this next little episode solidifies that too.
Ah yes, which is promptly followed by an alert that the stakes are even higher than before. Jack is in critical condition. “Save Jacksepticeye,” Schneeplestein says, looking straight into the camera. Coincidence? Eh…
Doctor Schneeplestein is tiring out. Saving Jack is proving harder than the thought, and the sudden Anti appearances aren’t helping. He’s grown desperate, saying “Whatever it is inside that brain, we need to get it out.” The stress level is high as Jack’s systems begin to fail. Schneeplestein is taking on some glitches that he doesn’t have. Anti is gaining more ground.
And then he says “Once one goes down, they all go down”. Does that sound important? I’m willing to bet it is.
Schneep is losing Jack quickly, and he himself has become compromised, showing more and more Anti-like tendencies.
And then, aND THEN!!! We get this gem….
My my, doctor. Are you quite alright? That eye of yours…. It looks familiar?
Ah yes… Well I’ll just leave that there…
From this point, Anti is gaining more control. He’s not just taking over the doctor, he’s running him out of the video. He overlays him, takes over the screen. “HELP ME” the doctor says
Dr. Schneeplestein can “feel it in [his] neck”
“feel it everywhere”
And the glitches are lasting longer now. Anti is growing more powerful as the video goes on. We’re feeding him attention, like we always have been. There’s nothing the doctor can do.
And then, he loses. But not just the game. Dr. Schneeplestein has lost the game, Jack, and the fight he was fighting the whole time. The fight he was fighting when he refused to kill himself. The fight he fought when he asked us for help.
But that doesn’t matter now. Because Anti’s won. And he’s pissed. Anti believes he’s smarter than we are. He’s pissed that we were too foolish to recognize his glory. Too dumb to see it wasn’t real.
“Who do you think you were watching this whole time?”
He’s not just talking about the different entities when he says puppets. We’re his puppets too. And he’s jerked us about so well that we don’t even know he’s doing it. He loves control, but he wants to be acknowledged–again, narcissism. He’s frustrated that we believed he was so weak as to just give up. He wants worthy puppets, worthy opponents. That’s why he issues a challenge. He likes it. He wants us to fight so he can win, because he believes with everything he is that he will.
I rambled on and on with this but spread it if you want. Be mindful.
So you know how the majority of us humans LOVE to talk? Like it’s not really about that we love the sound of our own voice, it’s more that we have something to say and we just have to spit it out right now.
In doing this a lot of us trip over words and blend them together so not even us can tell what we just said.
Other times we just simply forget what the word for something is and make up words for it. Example,
*most likely shouting up the stairs*
You: MOM, WHERE DID THE THINGY GO?
Your mom: What thing.
Y: YOU KNOW THE THINGY MA BOBBER THAT YOU USE TO MAKE IT WORK.
YM: make what work?
Y: THE MAGIC BOX THING.
YM: ….The tv?
Y: YES THATS IT. WHERES THE THING THAT MAKES IT GO.
YM: oh, the remote? Its on the counter.
Y: THANKS.
I feel like aliens would be so annoyed by this. Like, if you can’t remember all these words then why have them?! And I feel like they would absolutely hate it when we cant pronounce our own words.
NICK VALENTINE ROMANCE IS FULL OF AMAZINGNESS, 11/10 WOULD AGGRESSIVELY DOWNLOAD AND USE MOD AGAIN, OH MY GOD List of things he has said to me after sleeping together: “Whew. Yeah, that’s one way to get the coolant pumping.” “Goodness, you do that a little too well.” “Well, well. Aren’t you a sight for sore eyes.” “You certainly know your way around machines, don’t ya?”
I LOVE THIS FULLY-VOICED MOD SO MUCH (title of the mod is “Nick
Valentine Romance (PC)”, courtesy of *checks* modders BetteCorvega,
shadowslasher410, SigridStorrada, and kiddo95)
I love this so much because acknowledges people doing gender-stereotypical things of their free will isn’t bad.
In this case she’s cooking because she wants to and nobody else in the room is fit to. The fact she’s the only girl in the room is purely coincidence.
this also points out the importance of teaching your kids all ranges of skills and not just what falls into stereotypical boy/girl categories (i.e. stop sending our sons off to fucking college with no clue how to even do their own laundry or make something beyond easymac… teach daughters how to use a power drill, change a tire, or the basics of investing…)
encourage kids to learn things that interest them but also makes sure they move out of the house knowing basic life skills cause they don’t teach those in school very often

CHICKEN NUGGET IS A CHICKEN WING NOW BABY WE HAVE LIFTOFF!!!!!
The garden spiral is like a snail shell, with stone spiraling upward to create multiple micro-climates and a cornucopia of flavors on a small footprint. Spirals can come in any size to fit any space, from an urban courtyard to an entire yard. You don’t even need a patch of ground, as they can be built on top of patios, pavement, and rooftops. You can spiral over an old stump or on top of poor soil. By building up vertically, you create more growing space, make watering easy, and lessen the need to bend over while harvesting. To boot, spirals add instant architecture and year-round beauty to your landscape: the perfect garden focal point.
One of the beauties of an herb spiral is that you are creating multiple microclimates in a small space. The combination of stones, shape, and vertical structure offers a variety of planting niches for a diversity of plants. The stones also serve as a thermal mass, minimizing temperature swings and extending the growing seasons. Whatever you grow in your spiral, it will pump out a great harvest for the small space it occupies. I’ve grown monstrous cucumbers in my large garden spiral, with one plant producing over 30 prize-size fruits. The spiral is a food-producing superstar!
Stacked stones create perennial habitat for beneficial critters, such as lizards and spiders that help balance pest populations in the garden. The stone network is a year-round safe haven for beneficial insects and other crawlies that work constantly to keep your garden in balance—and you in the hammock. A little design for them up-front pays big, tasty dividends later.
