Timeline MHAU

I've mentioned this post in one of my Tyler Galpin posts before and i've finally gone and made it.

Jackson Jekyll is... I have beef with this character.

Let me roll it back a little. My beef is the fact that Jekyll and Hyde was meant to be the duality, good and evil - Hyde was literally Jekyll's evil side given sentience in his own mind... Tyler follows a similar structure with the Hyde being a literal monster while he is able to appear human and normal.

This isn't about Jackson's story, this is purely about what he is and my annoyance with how he's written. I think he's a fine character but in my opinion, if you're writing a jeckyll and Hyde style character, you should have one side be morally bad and the other morally good - whatever that means to that character.

instead Jackson is a nerd who plays sports by day, and a DJ with impulse control issues by night sorta thing... there isn't really much in terms of a start difference really other than one being an extroverted fire guy and one being introverted human.

Also I get that his dad is a fire elemental thingy but they could have used that to make him a bad guy. have him be a terror, a bully who burns people books or scares people with his fire... a shy nerd/asshole bully switch swap would work so much better for Jackson than what he is currently...

also just reading the wiki about him, they need to get his family tree straight, the only constant is his mom is the jekyll-hyde and dad is a fire elemental with grandpa og jekyll-hyde on one of their sides, heath is his cousin but in some versions its on his moms side and other versions its on his dads... its like deciphering the Addams family all over again, who is fester related to? which side is Grandmama from? does Pubert exist? is Pubert just Pugsley in another universe... my poor brain.

In all honesty, the only reason this post is here is because I remembered Jackson exists while writing a Tyler post at one point and had some beef after reading his wiki and being reminded about his dumbass alter ego...

In the book, Hyde is not the "bad side" of Jekyll. It is merely a kind of mask and pseudonym that Jekyll uses to commit morally dubious acts. (for the time) It was a way for Jekyll to pretend that it wasn't him, but some other person, who was a "criminal". That's why Jackson and Holt aren't a "good side and bad side".

my phone camera really loves blue boy, it makes things like x2 brighter when he's in frame. I plan on adjusting his skin tone with eyeshadow if I can find some for cheap soon! he's more pale and desaturated irl. idk if that'll affect him more in photos tho...

So the Snow Queen is actually the classic Snow Queen, and Daring takes on Kyle's role, and the girls have to save him before the queen marries him. And yes, the Snow Queen is an adult. She's considerably older than Daring, like in her forties, and he's just eighteen.

Like the guy was saying that Holt was unreliable and was giving the fellow monsters a straight up warning about him.

Then the next thing he knows/"wakes up" to is that he's in prison. Probably wondering what Holt did. Heck, that point, he didn't even know that Holt was being framed.

And the thing is, he can't even ask how he got there in the first place right when he wakes up because that'd alert the cop that they're one in the same.

Then all of a sudden, he's at a normie school and actually enjoys being able to fit in, which was a short-lived experience. But then he's not totally safe as loud music forces him to temporarily transform into Holt, despite all the struggling because who knows what could happen to him if anyone found out.

Because quite literally the last memory he had was being forced to switch over to Holt by Lilith. After that, Holt was the one who experienced the Trick or Treatment.

Then finally out of nowhere, he's at a party and Claire kissed him.

Like this dude couldn't catch a break the whole movie, then he suddenly gets a new love interest. He basically pulled her by doing (almost) absolutely nothing.

Also, speaking of what he doesn't remember, how do you think the monsters or even Claire broke it to him that he was about to die/be beheaded?

And you know we could talk about Holt's perspective too but it's just a bit more...grim.

At first, he's fine and happy that he's free, but most importantly, he's eager to get revenge on the humans trashing their school.

Then next thing he knows, he's being arrested by the police for something he didn't even do, and got put in a cell. The last he remembers is that his headphones were taken from him, which basically cut him off literally and figuratively.

After that, he transformed abruptly when he heard loud music blasting through the human school, then presumably blacked out again when it was over.

Out of the blue, he's back when Lilith the monster hunter awakes him and corners him. Then it's announced that he's going to be killed by an outdated execution method. Which was inching closer and barely got out of with the help of his friends.

Then when he goes in to flirt with Claire at the party, he's just rejected when she puts earmuffs on him.

So yeah Jackson's perspective is more amusing while Holt's is straight up traumatic. Then he got rejected to add salt to the wound. (Guy got cock-blocked by his alter ego lol)
