similar theory! š³
I have been thinking intensely about why Antiās appearances have been drastically different from previous times. There has been no zalgo in the descriptions or tags, glitches in videos havenāt really occurred, and while still using the RGB lighting, the prominent colour for Anti has now shifted from green to red (and purple).
There is the general agreement that Anti is a virus, both electronically and biologically. Once viruses invade a system - and are successfully fought off by the system- the host becomes immune to that form of virus. Hence viruses need to evolve and mutate in order to re-infect . While considering why Antiās appearances this time are very different I felt that this could be an explanation for the difference.Ā

Anti has evolved.
Heās better at hiding.
More undetectable.

JSE: zalgo text, missing egos, everythingās on fire, F E A R
Markiplier: THEDOORTHEDOORTHEDOORTHEFUCKINGDOOR WE ARE ALL DYING WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED
Thomas Sanders: ok but what other flavours of deodorant does Remus eat? Would he eat the good smelling kind or is it all just badness?
Since Iām stuck in quarantine and my entire states in lockdown and I really have nothing better to do. I am going to make it a goal of mine to take a screenshot of EVERY Anti glitch (as in actual Anti showing up), from SL 1 to whatever video I land on when this ends.Ā
So without further ado in no particular order-
In conclusion SL 1 Anti is very screamy and very smirky.
(course, Iām not perfect, so if thereās a screenshot you think I missed donāt hesitate to give me something)
Maybe that's the reason why Schneep saves Chase by being with his Family... He knew, if Chase didnt see his family, he turns into Anti!
So time is broken right?
Jack recently said this and it got me thinking;
So hear me outā¦.
Anti is Chase
I know Iām smoking
But time is broke according to Jack?
What if Anti is Chase after his kids and wife mysteriously disappear.
Anti knows what Chase is going through and knows heās going to be miserable with there still being a chance of him getting his kids back
So Anti, wanting Chase (also known as him), to be strong and powerful
Anti takes his kids to send Chase down the path of becoming the virus i.e killing Jack
Basically Antispeticeye is what Chase Brody will turn into without his kidsā¦.

Iām not sure if thereās a post like this already so Iām sorry if this is repetitive, but Iāve been giving this some thought lately, specially now with this:
One thing I always look for in a villain/antagonist is their motivations and their plan of action in accordance to them.
Whether itās the trope ofĀ ādoing bad deeds for āgoodā reasonsā (e.g. The Vulture, Wilson Fisk, Negan, Thanos, Killmonger) orĀ ādoing āgoodā things for theĀ ābestā reasons (e.g. Claude Frollo, Mother Gothel) OR ādoing everything to benefit myselfā (e.g. Kilgrave, Cruella de Vil, Firelord Ozai, Moriarty), O RĀ ādoing things with the intent of destroying the concept of good and bad deeds/reasonsā (e.g. Hannibal, The Joker), being able to feel as though the trope is natural for the villain themselves is whatās important to me.
Which brings me to the topic of Antisepticeye.
Again, these are just my thoughts so Iād very much like to hear anybody elseās as well. :)
Personally, with how Jackās chosen to progress Antiās storyline (which is by delving into the other egosā storylines), I think Antiās one true goal from the very beginning is to get rid of the other egos in an attempt to cleanse Jack of their natures, not because he seeks to control Jack, but to grant Jack more control of himself.
From the very beginning, Anti has done nothing but threaten either the viewers or the egos of hisĀ presence, especially with his first real appearance in Say Goodbye. I remember this is where the evil-demonic-entity-possession idea came to be (which I still love <3) but when I look at how he holds himself here NOW, especially with THIS line:
I think itās possible that heās not saying Jackās body was weak as an insult to Jack himself, but I think itās an insult to us.
Imagine if you had a really REALLY close friend, who was kind and caring but tends to overwork themselves for the sake of people who believe in them. You understand their point of view, telling you that this is what makes them happy, but you also know that nothing good comes from overworking so you stick by their side, placing your faith in them to know their limits.
But then they reach their limits, but still push on. They tire themselves, strain themselves to the core, while you watch the very same people who believe in your friend show no sign of noticing, no sign of caring, and even worse, pushing your friend even MORE out of his limit. And one day you say no, shut up, youāre wrong, THATāS ENOUGH.
Now look at this scene again, with that context:
The fact that his face is showing anger at the viewer instead of triumph over what can be assumed as a victory feels much more natural now. He glitches into a smile for a second yes, but think of it as a cynical smile. āHe thinks they actually care. You all think you care? YOU THINK YOU CARE?? I WOULDNāT BE HERE IF YOU DID. HIS BODY WAS WEAK AND YOU LET IT HAPPEN.Ā YOU WANTED THIS.ā
Hell, even stabbing the pumpkin representing Jackās gift to us (or maybe just us in particular) is the cherry on top.
In fact, if there is a masterpost of ALL of Antiās appearances (which Iām sure there is), try looking at them in this context as well. And heck, this is probably really grasping at straws but by the end of 2017 Jack has mentioned time and time again that he had gone in his own spiral of depression, one that he had slowly but surely worked through thank fuck. And around the time, I think most of the egos had started to disappear. Then came the start of 2018 and without the egos, Jack has been much more positive than he was before. HECK, PMA.
The fact that this Anti story and Jackās own personal life can get subtly interwoven like this is pretty fucking amazing, but if it wasnāt and was just a coincidence then whoops. :)
So overall, I think Anti thinks we donāt deserve Jack. His time, his efforts, EVERYTHING. There mightāve been a time when he did, especially since it was thanks to the community that Anti came to be, but then Dr. Schneeplestein happened, then Marvin, then on and on the new egos came to be and on and on the weight on Jackās shoulders grew. Jack became more Jacksepticeye than Sean McLoughlin, so what did Anti do? What was the only thing he could do?
Or more specifically, what is an antiseptic suppose to do?
TL;DR: I think Anti, at his core, is an Antivirus. He detects the threats to Jackās well-being, and he thinks the other egos are exactly that. So he tries to get rid of them all AND the memories that come with them. This leads to Jack being in a comatose state, but a safe mode state, and he continues his mission while he sleeps.
But now that most of said threats have already beenĀ āquarantinedā, all thatās left to do to make sure that any copies or connection attempts from outside fores (us) to the egos do NOT pass. And what better way to do this other than upgrading into a firewall?
So does this mean Anti falls under the trope of ādoing bad things for good reasonsā? Honestly, I donāt think so, at least not entirely. It could be argued that his true goal is simply self-preservation. To get rid of the egos not for Jackās sake, but for his. To come back to the state of mind where it was just the two of them, where at least it was somewhat peaceful.
But thatās just a theory. Iād love to learn more. <3

yes! Glitchy Boy is one unpredictable mf! Like his creator
Thomas Sanders: Oh wow guys I just picked up a prop for my next sides video and WOW are you in for it hahaha itās going to be great and youāre all going to be so excited!!

Us: Sweet! Weāre really excited!
Markiplier: yeah thereās a big project. coming soon. and by soon, likeā¦. whenever I get to it.

Us: Thatās awesome! Take your time, dude! Canāt wait!

Then, Anti is the one, who broke that fairness... This also means that every sketches we see, that involve with The Egos, all happens in Jack's Mental World! Beside, we dont really see Egos see each other that much... They just mention one and another... And if that's the case, then, maybe the reason why Jack is in a Coma... Cause of all the events happening in his head... Ever since Anti entered, The System is completely destroyed, maybe he isnt talking about Computer System... But Mental System.
Edit:
Also... Anti is a seperate Ego from Jack, he lives within Digital and Mental... (Which is why we can see him appear in Jack's videos, without Jack noticing it, and see him and Jack/Schneep in the same room) and Mental (Cause of the short films/sketches Jack made of him ex: Dark Silence and Chase)
Disclaimer; I donāt actually believe Jack is diagnosed/has this mental disorder, this is just a theory and is not meant to be taken seriously.
Multiple-Personality Disorder; A rare dissociative disorder in which two or more personalities with distinct memories and behavior patterns apparently exist in one individual, otherwise known as Dissociative Identity Disorder.
Chase Brody, Antisepticeye, Dr. Shneeplestien, Marvin the Magnificant, and Jackaboy Man. These beloved alter egos belonging to a man near and dear to all our hearts, Jacksepticeye.
Have you ever noticed how easy it is for SeĆ”n to switch between characters? Maybe he isnāt doing it on purpose. Maybe these alters are created to get him through things.
Chase Brody, fun loving and energetic, possibly an alter meant to get him through hard times
Zen good doctah, comes around when Jack decides to play games involving medical situations. Jack doesnāt know how to do these things, but Shneep thinks he does, so he takes over.
Anti, an alter who possibly acts as an embodiment of pain and the lack of control Jack feels in his life.
Marvin the Magnificent, maybe meant to give SeƔn that feeling of control he needs through magic.
Jackaboy Man. Meant to help Jack feel like he really is saving his fans, because I donāt know about Jack, but if a whole bunch of people said I saved their lives, Iād be worried that I would mess something up they would stop feeling better by watching me.
But yeah, thatās my theory. I know it was short, but Iām not very educated on the topic, so yeah. Hope you all like this, and remember that this is not meant to be taken seriously.
I couldnāt get this idea out of my head, so did what I do best and drew it messily! :D
Remember when Chase suddenly got transported to the parking garage?
And then Marvin saw Anti and Chase together in the car when he was looking into his crystal ball?
What if Marvin WAS actually the one that teleported Chase hours into the future in a safer location to prevent Anti from trying to get to him?
Edit: AND TO ADD TO THAT, MARVIN IS ALSO TRYING TO DISCOVER TIME TRAVEL. HE MUSTāVE FOUND A WAY TO SEND CHASE A FEW HOURS INTO THE FUTURE.
So i got a quick theory !
What If JJ jolly jaunts happened at the same time as dark silence
Hear me out
What if JJ was performing the whole show to chase's kids that's why JJ had chad with him right? Kinda explains it
And when anti possessed JJ that's why the kids began screaming because well...it would horrifying to watch it
That's why there were kids laughter at the beginning because they were watching the begining of the show and then it turned into screams as anti got involved as we all saw in the video
And anti has the ability to change to look of the body he possess like he kinda did to henrik in kjse..idk man
And then chase came and hell happened after
