I Will Forever Think That Jack Helped Chase Filmed This Video And They’re Separate So Jack Laughed

In less than 15 minutes, I'm going to start a driving class and I already feel like I'm going to have a panic attack! Full on anxiety! I need to learn how to drive. I want to learn! But I'm scared that something will go wrong. Maybe I'm not ready or is just that everything is happening so fast....

Be Careful What You Wish For

Can I just… say something in regards to Septic ego lore? Because lately I’ve seen a lot of accusations being thrown this way and that about who’s good and who’s evil and who’s trustworthy and who’s a “puppet” and… honestly, this is frustrating me more than it probably should, but I need to let this out somewhere.

News flash: there isn’t a single ego that isn’t morally ambiguous.

There, I said it.

There is ZERO definitive, canon evidence that proves ANY of them to be 100% on the side of good or evil.

Jackieboy Man? He has a total of ONE (1) canon video on the channel, and it’s his first. That isn’t nearly enough content to be a proper judgement of his actual character, only enough for a first impression at best. Sure, he’s a superhero (and probably has the most arguable case for being on the “good” side), but even superheroes kill people sometimes, even if they don’t mean to. Where does that put him on the moral scale? We don’t know. We don’t know enough about him to know.

Marvin isn’t much better. He himself has only ever been in two videos canonically (his power hour and Try To Fall Asleep). And in his Power Hour, Seán was making no attempt to make a fully-fleshed out character. Hell, he calls himself “Jack the Magnificent” in it– the name “Marvin the Magnificent” wasn’t canon until the first SepticArt video, which was right after KILL JSE in 2017. Just one week shy of a full year after his first “appearance”. His Power Hour remains the only video in which we can actually hear him talking, and most of what he said was joking, exactly in line with Jack’s comedic style. Where does that put magical cat boy on the moral scale? We don’t know. We don’t know enough about him to know.

Schneeplestein? Don’t even get me started. Undoubtably the ego we’ve seen the most of in terms of video count and length (except maybe Anti, depending on how you count it), over his now two full years of existence, he STILL hasn’t proven himself one way or the other. For every evidence of goodness, there’s equal evidence of the opposite, and vice versa. Seán literally shifts this character around what we think he’s like at the time. (Seriously. Watch Bio Inc. #4 and KILL JSE back to back if you don’t believe me.) Where the hell does the “good doctah” fit on the actual moral scale? We don’t know. There’s enough evidence to point him in either direction– and Seán’s leaving it up to us.

How about Chase, then? Surely there’s only goodness in the sunshine dad, right? Wrong. Bro Average, TIE, and Dark Silence are all we’ve ever physically seen of him, along with Stories Untold #3 where we definitively heard his voice. The rest? Pure guesswork. Headcanons and theories about whether it’s him or Jack being thrust into nightmare after nightmare– neither idea has been ultimately confirmed or denied. And hell, when Chase did the drive by in Bro Average, there were real shooting sound effects along with it. Remember how people were theorizing him to be a mass murderer because of that? Yeah, that hasn’t been canonically disproven. So where’s the sad dad on the moral scale? We don’t know. We haven’t seen enough of him to know.

Last but not least, the silent boy, JJ. Probably one of the most debated in terms of moral alignment, along with Henrik and Marv. But, again– we’ve only ever seen him for, what, maybe five or six minutes, doing one very specific activity? And if you remember Silent Movie like I do, you KNOW that all of the text on the cards doesn’t suggest even a single time that this character is a new or unique one– in fact, it suggests pretty strongly that the character on the screen was someone who was already existing and was just thrust backwards in time, as well as into a different outfit. Yeah, there’s a reason it took Seán six whole months after that video to confirm him as canon and repeatedly denied that the character even had a name. And even though he’s arguably my favorite, I’m honestly 100% willing to bet that JJ wasn’t meant to become an ego at the time of his first appearance. Pile on the fact that Anti showed up and corrupted the video– leaving JJ very much alive while doing so– and where the hell does the silent boy’s moral compass point? We don’t know. There’s literally nothing that definitively proves him to be one thing or another– he’s totally ambiguous.

Now.

With that said…

All of you out there who headcanon any of them to be evil, or a “puppet”, or “on Anti’s side” or any of that– do me a favor, will you? Remember back to the Happy Halloween 2016 vlog that Seán posted after Say Goodbye. (If you haven’t watched it, I highly suggest that you do so, because it’s awesome.)

In that video, he talks about how he literally shaped Anti’s appearances and behavior around what the community thought of the character. He saw all of the theories about Anti killing him eventually, all of the ideas about him having fangs or being hooded or bleeding from his eyes. He saw what the community was thinking and took it upon himself to make it canon. And he hasn’t stopped doing this, either– Schneeple has shifted in character depending on how we’ve seen him. Anti has evolved around the games we wanted to put him into, whether or not he’s actually shown his face. Why do you think Anti even showed up at all in JJ’s video– it was Halloween and we were all wanting something to happen, right?

Keeping this in mind…

How badly do you really “want” some of these characters to be genuinely evil?

Because, if you want them evil, you’re pointing Seán very much in the right direction right now.

He sees exactly what the majority think of these characters, in the forms of theories and comments and gifts and art.

Listen, please let me make one thing as clear as I can: I do not mean this post as an attack/bash on anyone’s ego opinions/headcanons/what have you in any way, shape, or form– if my tone comes off at all as angry/hurtful towards anyone in what I say here, I sincerely apologize, because I truly don’t mean it that way. Everyone’s opinion is valid until definitive proof tells us otherwise.

But… if all of you out there who claim to really “want” a certain ego/egos to be evil, I’m warning you right now, this is going to be another “it’s all your fault” situation coming from Anti, and he’s gonna give us ALL of the sh*t for it. Because we COULD have chosen to make the egos help Jack instead of hurt him. We COULD have let the characters be good instead of conforming them into “something we wanted to see”. But no. Anti puts on his puppet show to please us, and this is exactly what people are asking him for. At that point, heck, we’ll probably deserve the sh*t he’ll be giving us.

That’s why I’m so damn adamant about believing that the egos are innocent until definitively proven otherwise. Because if everyone gets ahead of themselves and start throwing accusations around/condemning egos to puppethood, guess what? All of that now becomes fair game to be canon, and it’s exactly what Anti’s going to abuse to his advantage when he comes back in order to make us second-guess ourselves when the danger is in plain sight.

So friends, please,

be careful what you wish for.

(Holy heck, this post is long. Sorry for the read, I just… I’ve been keeping this in my system for too long and it needed to come out one way or another. And again, I don’t mean this at all in a ragey/hurtful way towards anyone, I just feel like a lot of people are getting a bit ahead of themselves, and I actually kind of understand now why Anti’s mad at being stuck in the same old monotony. Because it’s that predictable.)

Reblog to make Chase smile for a goddamn second

please reblog, the only things that that man does are crying and drinking, which are not too ideal

JJ's Charleston

Because of Strictly, I've been watching alot of different dances. As of right now, I've come across the Charleston. It's very fun, energetic and fast, but I really would like to learn how to dance it.

But above all, I just see JJ dancing the Charleston perfectly!

I really would like to see it happen! Animation, skit or even @therealjacksepticeye , anything really, I just want to see it.

But I understand if it's not possible.

To everyone in the YouTuber community

I’m considering just giving up drawing all together. Not because people don’t notice it, not because the people I draw things for don’t notice, that’s stupid. But, I figure it like this.

The YouTubers I draw for, Mark, Jack, Wade, all those guys, they have fan bases in the millions and among those millions are many, MANY talented and unique artists. I’ve seen what they can do, and it blows my mind that someone can create things like they do. They’re gifted people, really. Me? Not so much. Sure, my pixel art gets a compliment here and there, my chibis aren’t too terrible, but they are not good enough. I can’t compare to the multitude of fantastic artists in the communities. I’ve tried, hours upon hours, days upon days, to get better, to finally be good enough, to finally be worth something in the markiplite community, the septiceye community, the minion army, the bobblehead brigade, all the YouTube communities I’m a part of, it just won’t ever happen.

So many beautiful pieces of art, why the hell am I polluting the world with my stupid scribbles… You’re all fantastic people, really. Please don’t ever stop doing what you do best, making others smile daily with your art, your stories, your animations, games, just please make this world bright and beautiful cause it really needs all the light it can get. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to.

I’m sorry.

The feels! My poor little recruit heart! This is beautiful!

“Music was always a calling, a dream, But life isn’t always all cookies & cream. These friends they come, these friends they leave, It’s a cycle too common, too hard to believe. This world made of blocks was more like a cage, Another new script on every page. That journey is over, a new one awaits, My shoulders are free of these blocky weights. Close the gates, the fire’s gone, Hang the amulet, we’re done. It’s finally over, I’m finally free… Welcome to the real me.”
