Heard some important information on Twitter today, and thought I’d post it here for anyone who may not have heard it. This is actually a thing, devised by human rights organisation called Karma Nirvana.

Reblog to save a life?

heya! could you continue the prompt where the hero and villain had revealed their relationship to the public? im super curious as to what happens next!

Hmm, *looks back and forth between stranger and Villain with a knife in my hand* … What does happen next? Oh, OH! Yes, I has an idea.

Wait I messed up! Here’s the previous post.

Hero rushed to the hallway to find Villain rolling around the floor with a stranger, and it was clear by the pain on the Villain’s face that they were hurt, straining to keep a secondary knife from falling down onto their face.

Hero snapped. Weeks of pressure, anger, and fear finally curdled together and met their breaking point. They ran at the stranger and tackled them away from their lover. They were on top and managed to snatch the knife from their blood-soaked hands. Everything seemed to slow around them, for a terrifyingly numb moment, they were without morals. The knife went down into their right shoulder and the stranger cried out in pain. Hero twisted it relentlessly.

“Leave us alone!” Hero screamed down into their face, the final word was drawn out and as loud as they could manage. It was only after that outburst that the red curtain came away, drained out of them, and Hero realised what they’d done… how much worse it could have been. They felt a hand grab onto their arm and realised it was Villain, trying to stop them from hurting them anymore.

“It’s okay,” Villain managed, “Breathe.” As quickly as it came, it was gone. Hero threw themselves away from the stranger, trying to scamper back from the blood on their hands. The blood. The blood! They couldn’t look away, couldn’t think straight. What had they just done?!

“S.See!” The stranger stammered, “They’re turning you into a monster.”

“The only monster here is me, and you’d best get out here before I have to drag you inside and demonstrate,” Villain snapped.

The stranger dragged themselves to their feet and ran down the street as best they could.

Villain winced and tried to take a deep breath before slowly getting to their feet. Their face drooped with nausea, but their heart sank seeing Hero. They had their knees close to their body head in their hands and they were yanking at their hair. Their breathing was uneven and tears flowed freely amongst their shallow breaths and hiccups. 

Tucking away their pain as best they could, Villain approached Hero and out a hand on their cheek. “It’s okay. It’s okay, shh… We’ve got CCTV if he tries to lie. It was self-defence. You can’t get in trouble for that. Deep breaths, please try to take some deep breaths.”

Villain took Hero’s bloodied hand and pressed it against their chest. They could feel Villain’s chest rising and falling, fast, but deep even breaths. The only problem was, they didn’t know how much longer they could keep it up. Their own wound was bleeding badly and the initial numbness was quickly wearing off. When the stranger had first attacked, Villain managed to swat it away, but the stranger managed to plunge it into their left side.

Hero seemed calmer, to at least have their breathing under control. “Listen, sweetheart. I really need you to keep your head. We need to go, and I’m bleeding. Can you go upstairs and get me the first aid kit and the money out of our room? Bring them back here, then ring [Henchman] for me. Ask them to drive here and get us.”

“I can’t just run away from this…” Hero moaned.

“You’re going to have to. Either way, the first aid kit, come on, focus for me.”

Hero shook themselves out of it and the severity of what they’d said clicked into place. They saw the wound on Villain’s side and suddenly rushed upstairs on all fours to get it. Villain fell back and leaned against the wall. Breathe, they reminded themselves. It looked like Hero and Villain were going to have to help each other out of this mess. And for what? All because some group of insignificant strangers decided they didn’t like the fact Villain had found someone to care about, and now they were hurting Hero.

It was pushing them far too close to Villainy again, and if they kept pushing, Villain was going to make the entire city drop to its knees in fear. They would not hurt Hero.

So that was an interesting 4 minutes of a staring contest

What I liked about it was the subtlety, cuz we’re used to somewhat spotable things right? But This was all character and expression work

I mean look at this

That change from kinda nice, a small twitch and then we have a not so nice boi looking at us. If that’s not amazing idk what it.

Cuz nothing indicated a change in character apart from that twitch. And like clockwork we immediately knew what was going on, at this point were trained to know on sight what’s going on.

And his words to us, telling us we HAVE to know what happens, WE have to watch to the end. Not because he wants us to, but because we need to see what happens. He’s got us figured out too, and that means we ain’t in control like we think.

We may think we are, but then again if a puppet can’t see the strings it wouldn’t know it was a puppet…

*tense laughter*

I’ll Get To The Bottom Of This Notes

NOTE: Gonna mention some things I saw from @dumbthinmint​, @rogue-of-broken-time​, @lilakennedy​ and a few other people so if I forget to credit them for the discovery, I’M SORRY, but I’m late to the party here so anything in these notes is stuff we already been knew courtesy of other JSE Theorists.

SO ANYWAY, THE BULLSHIT™:

I stopped pegging this as suspicious not too long ago, but during Mayhem A LOT of the most fire-inducing videos only had a title written by Sean or a game name, not both like we usually see (ie: Dark Silence, Try To Fall Asleep, etc…). Today’s title is “I’ll Get To The Bottom Of This…” which obviously has no game name in it, not even an “x games, 1 video” thing. Not to mention that title in itself is highkey giving me “He’s hinting/talking to us through the titles again, just like October 2016″ vibes.

0:09 - “Look at it just sitting there, staring!” As Lila pointed out in this post, that has the same energy as what Anti said in PAX 2017. And “it” was referring to us, just as Anti was…

10:09 - Lights suddenly turn off and everything goes black. This reminds me of the door opening on its own behind him during Stories Untold…

10:14 - Voice says “Thank you for your contribution to this video”  forwards, but if you reverse the audio it sounds like it says “Thank you for contributing to his [???]” and none of us can tell if it says says “death" or something else. (Some of us are convinced it says one thing, and others are convinced it says another, we honestly need Sean to confirm what it is himself). You can listen to the audio here thanks to Rogue, and as Emily brought up in the post, if it DOES say death, it could possibly be a reference to the April Charity Stream Ego Poll, in which Henrik (1st place) or Marvin (last place) could very well be in danger if the poll results are used for something in the future. ALSO, this all hugely reminds me of “I will return when you least expect it.” from Eggs For Bart.

I for the life of me cannot hear any of the ideas we’ve thought of so far. I can only kind of hear “video” when the audio plays normally, and I vaguely hear “death” when the audio is reversed, but still don’t think that’s what it is. Someone PLEASE clean up the audio to make it clearer, post it and tag me?

10:19 - Facecam glitch. Frame by frame shots by @the-jackiebear​ here! I don’t actually think this glitch is an Anti Glitch because it looks different, but I’m noting it just in case, especially since it happened right after the voice.

10:21 - “Oh thank god you’re here, I thought I was lost, I thought I was all alone! I was in that darkness for 14 years!” Okay, first of all, the KJSE/Exiles siren is playing in the background during this. Big Oh Shit™ right there. Secondly, I get slapped with two different energies at the same time here– I get Panicked Chase energy, like the “darkness” is a reference to Dark Silence, but I also get Jack Finding Us energy, like after he was “EXPLORING AN ABANDONED HOSPITAL” like the video title says in Exiles, while the Exiles siren is playing in the background, he finally found us, like if we were some kind of Y/N in this whole story… I can’t decide which energy I get out of that moment more, and even while I’m getting those two energies I still feel like the entire thing could just be an innocent goofy bit like Sean does with each intro to a new game in these kinds of videos… REALLY wish he’d start giving us little nods somehow so we know when we’re right or if we’re over-analyzing something. :u

11:58 - “Hello? It’s me, Jacksepticeye, the guy who doesn’t do too well with silence! It reminds me of my relationship with my dad!” Alright there’s a lot to unpack here and we can’t afford to throw away the whole suitcase so here goes nothing– So, first off, “Hello? It’s me Jacksepticeye!” is EXACTLY something he said in Exiles (*gestures to the siren playing earlier*). Secondly, I’m trying not to imagine Chase calling himself Jack to keep his facade up while also mentioning he doesn’t do well with silence bc Dark Silence. But I’m also fully aware he could be making a “I’m loud and never shut up” joke. Thirdly, “dad” jokes are suspicious bc Mayhem was fucking full of them, but once again we should keep in mind Sean also at some point said smth about him not being close with his dad. Bottom line here is, this line was Big Suspicious™ to me but could very well be innocent to a degree.

We all know the gauges aren’t Anti-only anymore but he has the big ones in that he wore during KJSE and I am Big Nervous™. Normally he wears smaller ones I’m pretty sure,,, I’m paranoid,,,

23:50 - “Be extra vigilant, for there are always secrets and clues lying around.” I looked really hard at that magnifying glass reflection and for a split second I thought it was the table from Say Goodbye with the bookshelf behind it but I’m positive it isn’t (so please don’t say it was, haha) and I’m just paranoid because the very next second it looked like it was just Sean’s computer in front of him or something, I dunno but *squints*

I'm going on a date tomorrow, and my dad was asking questions. While he was I pulled up Instagram and saw this photo. My dad leaned over and said, "oh is that him?" And I just laughed and said no.

9 Ways to Tighten Up Your Novel’s Middle

Every year, we’re lucky to have great sponsors for our nonprofit events. Scrivener, a 2022 Camp NaNoWriMo sponsor, is an award-winning writing app that has been enthusiastically adopted by best-selling novelists and novices alike. Today, Scrivener director Julia Pierce is here to share some tips on writing your story’s middle:

We’re midway through Camp and around now, some of you may be starting to experience the curse of the saggy middle. This isn’t just a euphemism for what happens when the need to meet your daily word count target becomes all-consuming and takes precedence over your daily exercise routine. Nope, it’s that bit where the doubts about your story’s structure start to creep in… Is that storyline really as gripping as you first thought? Would the hero really make that choice…?

Unfortunately, writing the midsection of a novel is tricky—it’s where the hard work happens, the plot is driven on, characters grow and plans are tried (and fail). With this part taking up around 50% of the word count, a good rate of momentum is vital to carry the reader with you from your perfect beginning to the novel’s climax. So, how can you pep up your prose? Here are some tried and tested methods:
