Ok. Here I’ll be going over my theories on what a reversed version of The Life And Times Of Juniper Lee TV series would look like. I’ll be going over how each of the characters’ personalities are reversed starting with The Magical Elders and then how their Earth’s traditions changed because of it. Also, Spoiler Alert for The Life And Times Of Juniper Lee TV series. With that out of the way, let’s dive right in.

First, I’ll be going over the reversed world’s version of The Magical Elders who, in that world, are actually known as The Magical Supremes. As stated in the episode ‘Every Witch Way But Loose’, the canon world’s Magical Elders sacrificed their physical forms and became spirits to become powerful enough to empower touchstones to create a magic veil that rendered the world of magic invisible to humans thus stopping the war and saving the world. But, in this reversed world, The Magical Supremes did not sacrifice their physical forms and become spirits to gain power to save the world but rather to claim it for themselves…and they succeeded. They have been ruling the world with an iron fist ever since.

As shown in the episode ‘Out Of The Past’, Juniper is quite brave to the point that she willing to stand up to great evil. But this reversed Juniper, due to insane levels of trauma inflicted on her which I’ll get into later in this post, is too afraid to stand up to The Magical Supremes. Also, as stated in the episode ‘Out Of The Past’, the Te Xuan Ze is a living vessel for The Magical Elders’ power and are tasked with protecting the world. And, while in this reversed world, the Te Xuan Ze is a living vessel for The Magical Supremes’ power, they are instead tasked with enforcing The Magical Supremes’ will and acting as their top enforcer. And now, this reversed Juniper is that kind of Te Xuan Ze. And, unlike in the canon world, The Magical Supremes, Te Xuan Ze and the world of magic is not only known to the magical beings but also to the humans too. This Juniper is still allowed to go to school but school, in this reversed world, is only meant to teach people that they are noting but tools of flesh for The Magical Supremes. This reversed Juniper is not happy about her job and is desperate for someone to talk to due to her horrible life but, since she is The Magical Supremes’ Te Xuan Ze, most of the people are too scared of Juniper to talk to her. This Juniper is also tortured by The Magical Supremes any time she steps out of line.

As stated in the episode ‘Dog Show Afternoon’, the canon Jasmine is kind to the point that she wants to find a way to get her Juniper past the magic barrier that is keeping Juniper in Orchid Bay which also means that Jasmine is at least rebellious to the point that she is willing to break some of the laws of magic to help Juniper. But this reversed Jasmine is cruel to the point that she is willing to abuse and torture her own granddaughter Juniper to enforce The Magical Supremes’ will which also means she is blindly loyal to The Magical Supremes. But Juniper is not the only relative this Jasmine has brought harm to as I’ll explain in my next point…

As shown in the episode ‘Adventures In Babysitting’, the canon version of Juniper’s parents Michael and Barbara are quite ordinary people who have normal lives. But the reversed Michael and Barbara are both not-so-ordinary in the sense that they have been practicing magic in secret to take down The Magical Supremes for practically enslaving their family and the entire world. They wanted to get their children away from Jasmine and The Magical Supremes but they quickly realized that Jasmine and The Magical Supremes are too thorough when it comes to preventing escape for that plan to work. And they are also willing to take down Jasmine for enforcing The Magical Supremes’ will the way she did. Now, to go over the reversed Dennis, the reversed Juniper’s older brother. While, shown in the episode ‘Sealed With A Fist’, Dennis does care about her sister Juniper, he, as shown in the episode ‘Enter Sandman’, is not quite quick to show it. But this reversed Dennis is always quick to show his familial love for his sister Juniper. Also, as also shown in the episode ‘Sealed With A Fist’, Dennis can be quite silly. But this reversed Dennis is quite serious. Now, to go over the reversed Ray Ray, the reversed Juniper’s younger brother. As shown in the episode ‘Te Xuan Who?’, Ray Ray is quite bold and quick to jump into action. But this reversed Ray Ray is quite timid and prefers to avoid action. When this Michael and Barbara became aware of The Magical Supremes’ and Jasmine’s plans to kill them for having fulfilled their purpose of bringing the new are Xuan Ze into the world and thus outlived their usefulness to them and both of their sons Dennis and Ray Ray since The Magical Supremes and Jasmine consider them disposable for not inheriting the Te Xuan Ze mantle. This Michael and Barbera fought bravely to keep their children safe from The Magical Supremes and this Jasmine but, in the end, they were defeated. Then, Michael, Barbera, Dennis and Ray Ray were all killed in incredibly brutal ways by The Magical Supremes and Jasmine in front of the reversed Juniper as a twisted and sick way of teaching her what happens to those who are not of use to The Magical Supremes. This severely traumatized this Juniper to the point that she cannot bring herself to stand up to The Magical Supremes due to her fear of them.

As shown in the episode ‘The Great Escape’, the canon Ophelia acknowledges the injustices of the world and is quite cynical about it. But this reversed Ophelia, due to The Magical Supremes’ horrifying reign, has a bizarre form of denial where she constantly looks on the bright side even when there is really no bright side and she is incredibly dishonest with herself. This causes her to talk about The Magical Supremes’ horrifying policies as if they are no big deal. This Ophelia was also someone who wasn’t visibly afraid of the reversed Juniper due to this Ophelia’s cheerful denial as I’ve decided to call it.

As shown in the episode ‘The Great Escape’, the canon Roger is quite silly and eccentric. But this reversed Roger is serious and formal. And he is also devoted to The Magical Supremes’ reign. Also, he is someone who was not scared of the reversed Juniper due to him respecting her for being a prized tool for The Magical Supremes.

As shown in the episode ‘The Great Escape’, Jody is an optimist who looks at the bright side of things. But this reversed Jody, due to The Magical Supremes’ horrifying reign, is incredibly depressed. She is also someone who is not scared of the reversed Juniper since this Jody is too depressed to be scared.

I’d imagine that a holiday like Halloween that already prides itself on being scary in our world and in the world of The Life And Times Lf Juniper Lee would be unimaginably horrifying if reworked under The Magical Supremes’ reign. This different type of Halloween for everyone to find creative ways to scare and traumatize everyone around them into obeying The Magical Supremes’ policies. This, of course, causes a huge apocalypse of scares and trauma for everyone in the name of The Magical Supremes.

In our world and the world of The Life And Times Of Juniper Lee, the holiday of Christmas is a time of gift giving to the people you care about. But, in the reverse world, Christmas is a time of gift giving only to The Magical Supremes and all their most prized forces. It is a time of great sorrow where The Magical Supremes’ and their most prized forces’ subjects are reminded that everything they have is owned by The Magical Supremes.

Well, that’s all for this post.
