Drowning

Drowning

Jameson can hardly stand to breathe—no, he can hardly even stand, tumbling under wave after wave of input and information and noise. The constant noise. He cannot fathom how greedy this modern world is for its noise—as if they need to drown out the silence.

In silence, he is drowning.

Vehicles are honking, screeching, backfiring, roaring and rumbling. Streetlights flash. Advertisements in brazen colors and blinking signs on every window of every building. Strains of music tangle together from the doors of competing restaurants. The clashing smells of food, grease, petrol and cigarette smoke carrying further down the block could make one ill.

In the park nearby children are laughing and crying and shrieking and shoving each other, their feet thundering as they run through the hissing sprinklers. Their parents chatter and gossip on the creaking benches. Dogs are barking, yapping, shaking, panting, and growling, rattling the fence around their play area.

Jameson chokes up when he feels his telephone buzz in his pocket. There are so many telephones; they’re everywhere, all around him, ringing, beeping, blipping. Somewhere nearby there is the white flash of a camera. He stops up short, eyes blinded, and suddenly everyone is bumping him, jostling, touching. The stench of perfume and deodorant and sweat and body heat, closing in on him. The wind is picking up, whistling over it all, cold, unceasing, its pitch feverishly rising, rising, rising, rising—

When he first feels arms lock around him, he struggles. It’s the tactile equivalent of scratching in the walls, squeaking styrofoam, sandpaper tearing at his skin and he can’t breathe, he can’t escape, he can’t—

“Shhh…Shh.” Chase’s whisper is louder than the wind, louder than Jameson’s wild heartbeat. His shirt is soft and he smells like cocoa powder. “Hold onto me.”

Jameson buries his face against his shoulder and holds on tight.

Okay, so - here's a little theory. Bear in mind, I don't know everything there is to know about the JSE egos timeline. But there's something that's been on my mind after watching "Don't Make Eye Contact/Argentum Inanis" last night. After the fangirling: "Oh, there's Anti again! Yay!"

After researching theories and rewatching that video, a question never left my mind.

"How many times have we looked into Anti's eyes?"

Now, this may seem impossible to figure out, but bear with me. Most of the time (if not all) Anti shows up, he looks at US; not at the camera. Since we're so used to looking into Seán's eyes when he talks, it's inevitable to avoid eye contact with Anti. He knows that. Plus, when people talk to us, our natural instinct is to make eye contact with them because that helps us immerse ourselves in what the person is saying.

I can't speak for everyone, but in my experience, every time Anti has shown up, I lock eyes with him. And since I noticed in "Transference Part 2," the part where the man with the glasses talks about how crystals are everywhere, a glitch happens. Within that glitch, if you slow down the playback, you can see Anti and he can see you. At the last second, you can see Anti's left eye looking past the glitch at you.

So that brings up the question again: "How many times have we looked into Anti's eyes?"

Anti is sentient, a master at breaks in the fourth wall. He's watched Sean's mannerisms and keened into them. We're so used to looking into Seán's eyes when he talks to us or keeping our eyes on the face cam while he played games even before Anti. Even from day one when Seán played FNAF: Sister Location, you can see Anti looking past the camera at you.

Now, imagine this for a moment: A video like "Go on a Date with Markiplier," but replace Mark and Dark with Seán and Anti. Imagine Anti holding you captive and giving you choices. He'll be making eye contact with you most (if not all) of the time as he stands right in front of you holding his knife, degrading you - degrading us - and calling us his puppets.

From the very beginning, Anti corrupted us by looking into our eyes. That's how he catches you and lures you in. It's inevitable to avoid eye contact with him because we're so used to looking into Seán's eyes. Any time Anti is in the background, he always turns back to look at you - not at Seán, because he's always there, always watching. Even in the videos where you don't see him, you know he's there. Every one of Seán's videos gives me a feeling that Anti is still there.

And sooner or later, I have a feeling there will be a "Go on a Date with Jacksepticeye" video which starts out nice and sweet but ends with a glitch demon holding you captive and demeaning you. Or even switching from the "I love you for paying so much attention to me" to "I hate you for making me go through this circle over and over." Soon, Anti will get sick of the cycle and go for us next because we are the community Seán loves most.

That's just my theory though. Let me know what you guys think.

(EDIT: 11/22/21 - I'll put the clip of Anti from Transference Part 2, so you know I'm not crazy when I say you can see him looking at you. 😱)

Ooooh, could you do something with a merman Illinois luring someone out to see and drowning them? Like a siren?

His voice rolled with the waves, echoes carried on their course, as smooth, deep and silky as liquid gold, as clear as glass. He could already see the dazed wonder on the traveler’s face and the sway of their body to the song as they rowed their boat closer. Unrolling his rope of entwined seaweed and rigging, he tossed it out to them, chuckling as they took it up with eager hands – so very happy to be reeled in.

“You’ll be seein’ me in your dreams, even when your reality drowns…There’s a bright side to every wrong thing if you’re looking at me through the right eyes…Don’t be so shy, friend,” he urged with a dazzling smile. “Come closer. Don’t you want to share your adventure with me?” 

Follow me into the water…I’ll take you to the darker.

hypnosis with PuppetMistress Lydia and JJ (if your still taking prompts!)

“Everything else has slipped away,” she crooned as she twirled his watch back and forth. “There’s nothing in your mind except this watch and my voice. It’s easy to focus on me, isn’t it?” Gently she grazed the nails on her free hand over his cheek, chuckling at how his eyelids fluttered at the touch. “So easy. So easy to listen and relax and submit. Tell me you’re mine, baby.”

“I’m yours…” he echoed sleepily.

“That’s it. Good boy.”

Phantoms

Fantasy Masks AU: Chapter Two

A JSE Fanfic

Oh wow, second chapter already? :O Yeah I was really excited to keep writing this. Fantasy is my element; I’ve returned home. After wandering out into the woods for so long, Chase wakes up in an unfamiliar location. Where is he? Who are these strange masked people who have found him? And what happened back in his village? Answers will follow, as we meet new people…including a couple boys that us readers will know :D

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  

Chase woke up slowly, over the course of what had to be a few minutes. First, he was aware of weight, something pressing down on him. It was warm. And that felt really, really good. Because there was a coldness in his core that he couldn’t quite shake, sending chills across his skin. After the weight, sound came trickling in. There wasn’t much of it. Just some strange scratching sounds, and occasionally footsteps, which echoed. It was only after registering the echo that thoughts started to form. Where…where was he? How’d he get here? Last he remembered, he was…in the forest? It was dark. Was it nighttime? Chase found it hard to recall.

He finally opened his eyes. It was difficult; they felt weighed down. But he did it. And once his eyes were open, he saw…stone. Rough, natural stone, not stone bricks. The light was strong, but flickering. And completely unfamiliar.

Turning his head to the side was an effort, but he managed. He was on a bed, he recognized that much. With a few layers of blankets, including one made of fur on top. Again, completely unfamiliar. As was the rough stone room he found himself in. Some sort of cave…? But then why was there a bed in a cave? No, scratch that. There was a whole row of beds, he could see them extending to the side, along with a couple rickety wooden chairs. And, currently sitting down in one of those chairs, was a woman with a bird face.

“Wh…?” Chase tried to sit up, but the blankets were too heavy, and his body felt weak, so he gave up easily.
