Instead of murder and existential horror, they make friend brackets Inspired by the Mandela Catalogue by Alex Kister / mandelacatalogue Second channel: @Solidusjj Patreon: / solidjj
Unironically, this man could be canonically defeating his alternate. IIRC: Alternates basically feed and thrive off the fear of their victims. By cementing his place in reality, that lad basically conquered his alternate (until he didn’t)
Well the alternates don't kill you. They just tell you a bunch of stuff and you eventually go insane and kill yourself. So this guys final moments were him getting fed up with abuse and knowledge and pulled the trigger on himself. Not so fun now
Sounds like a bit Jerma would actually do. "N-No chat I'm not gonna start talking to my alternate that's ridiculous. W-wouldn't that be funny tho, if me and him just started palin' around and bein' friends. A-All right chat, all right chat I'm just gonna strike up a conversation with him and see where it goes."
“I’m not gonna do it chat, I won’t have a friendly conversation with my alternate! Do it for half a billion off the debt? Make it a billion, no, two billion and you have a deal.”
Sooo........ Who's gonna tell this guy that the alternates are made of suicide victims whose flesh was twisted by demons sent by Satan impersonating angel Gabriel to take your place in society at the first suicidal thought you have so they can make more alternates out of your corpse. But yeah, they can't kill you, they need you to kill yourself, because in Christianity suicide victims go to hell, so you're now in Satan's jurisdiction. So you can totally speak with it face to face, the only problem is that it's only interested into talking you into killing yourself. But who knows, someone might as well try to be friends right? Good luck 😁👍
But like, how evil would it really get assuming its based off the assumption evil is just any unhinged malicious desire. For example Evil you: I am your evil doppelgänger You: no, impossible, that can’t be Evil you: search your feelings as you’d know it to be true You: if that’s the case I won’t let you hurt my family Evil you: why would I want to kill them You: what? Evil you: technically if I’m you then that means they’re also my family, why would I want to kill them? You: I don’t know, maybe because of the whole evil thing I’d assume you’d be unhinged and want to kill them Evil you: did you ever want to kill them? You: I mean no, but Evil: then why would I want to, I mean maybe I might just throw Jimmy’s legos in the trash because he wouldn’t stop taking my charger cause he wouldn’t shut up over Jessica dumping him, but I’m not gonna kill the guy You: I mean, I guess that makes sense Evil you: you know, you’re kinda messed up if you think the evil you would be that messed up You: can you blame me though Evil you: yes You: I thought you were suppose to be me Evil you: yes, you but evil and thus have no moral filters stopping me from condemning you You: huh. Evil you: yep You:…. Evil you:…. You: you wanna go shoot nerf darts at random people Evil you: I’d thought you’d never ask You: :D Evil: no really, I thought you’d never ask because you usually have too much restrain for that.
If this is the backdoor pilot to Mandela Catalogue's spinoff comedy sitcom, I'm down for that. A college fella and his alternate going on their wacky shenanigans around town.
That’d be hilarious Guy walks in, finds his alternate whispering some shit to some guy to get him to kill himself, and just looks at the screen like “Oh, Jeremy!” *laugh track plays, slowly morphing into screams*
I wish I had a DoppelGanger, I'd finally have a someone who doesn't abject to naked (if you don't count the "being covered in honey" part as clothing) zweihander fencing
Alternate me: enters my house. Also alternate: *gets message saying “you have provoked a gang war.”* the alternate “WHA-?” Me:YOU PICKED THE WRONG HOUSE FOOL
“Sorry your audio kinda bugged out for a bit.” “Oh no problem, just wanted to ask why?” “We’re in an analog horror series so yeah basically you gotta die for y’know, the scares?” “I know but wouldn’t that mean you’re killing yourself?” “Actually you got a point there.” “I guess we could just make it seem like I died, maybe when the weird audio thing happens again just hang up.” “Yeah sure that sounds good.”
This is real, this is captured audio of Jerma talking to his inner demons, the voices in his head. But for real this is amazing I love it, also good to know you watch Jerma.
Alternate: “And.. I don’t know man. I just feel like i’m an intruder in to your life. But you’ve just excepted. You never thought i was sus..” Jerma: *tearing up* “Dude, you’re my best friend. You’re not a giant enemy spider. You’re a surprise and a joy to my life. Like an onion ring in my box of fries.”
Now I’m imagining a Mandela Catalog AU where the Alternates act more like people than satanic monsters that kill for sport, using their manipulative powers for more productive things
Oh man I really enjoyed this very normal Jerma stream last night, he interviewed the SUS GUY live in front of thousands!! 😳 I'm glad as well that he found the key to beat the Alternates,: throw them to a meat grinder, thank you for the clip!
"Chat, no, I'm not- _wheeze_ I'm not an alternate! I'm not! ... Guys, c'mon, look- oh, MONKAS MONKAS- I'll- I'll let you p- I'LL LET YOU PEEP THE HORROR! Remember that? Look- I'll do it- I'll do it right now, watch. _twists into an abomination beyond human comprehension_ ... 'You look like a knockoff Slenderman Halloween costume'..... ban that guy. Ban that guy right now."
This could probably happen in canon because the alternatives try to make you react scared and afraid so they can attack you so if you react to them positively they can't attack.
"it is real shame that one of us has to yk die" "isnt this analog horror series. you got a recorder?" "yeah why bro" "record as i scream so people will think i just died" "genius bro"
Although The Good Life is where Rivers Cuomo really hit his stride, the Pinkerton B-side "Longtime Sunshine" showcases some of Cuomo's best compositional skills. Longtime Sunshine carries plenty of emotional weight within its melancholy lyrics, which detail the story of someone facing imminent death and thinking about what could have been had he not been put in this situation. The song was originally composed as the finale to Cuomo's scrapped space rock opera, "Songs From The Black Hole." The subject from the song is a character named Jonas, who was separated from his space crew (which contained his lover and his newborn daughter) to die on a desert planet being consumed by a distant sun. As the rest of the crew escapes, Jonas is faced with his own mortality as he is consumed by the star, wishing that he could have made it back to Earth with the rest of the crew, and later accepting his fate and hoping that the crew makes it home safely. Even separated from the story and events from Songs From The Black Hole, Longtime Sunshine is still a heart wrenching and beautiful song, and I would go as far as to say that it is even better than The Good Life, which, while still an amazing piece of music, does not hold a candle to the perfection that is Longtime Sunshine.
You know, now that I think about it, friendly alternates would be cool as hell, you have a pal who shares your interest, he could do things for you when your not in the mood to do them, and you'd do the same for him. Maaaan, now I really want a friendly alternate.
Yeah, i feel bad for the sus guy he probably wont last a second. Jerma will just put him in a meat grinder. We all have to remember that this insane maniac is in full control of all of his multiple personalities...
Alternates feeds off they're victims' fear And the guy was at worst....only startled So the video was basically the last moments of the alternate's existence.... R.I.P. Good Lad ripoff (2022) Died spending his time with someone that truly gets him
This feels like 2 people trapped on an island and one volunteered to be eaten so the other can survive and they’re enjoying one final moment before the guy kills him and eats him.
Jerma is the only person who would be stupid enough not to realize the other in this interaction is holding a 9lb automatic meat grinder, and he's the only person smart enough to bring a 9lb automatic meat grinder to this interatction
Ask him what’s 9+10, if he is an alternate it’s 19, because we all know that in the SJJCU (Solid JJ Cinematic Universe) that we are trapped in the twilight zone and that all math equations equal 21, and that everyone is aliens. Rookie mistake.
So in The Mandela Catalogue, The one on the right is called an Alternate, these alternates are demons sent by satan to manipulate people to killing themselves by psychological warfare.
It’s been confirmed by a few people (not sure if it’s canon) that the alternative can be befriended however they MUST feed off of your fear or they’ll die
Imagine that. There would probably be a massive discrimination campaign against them, they'd probably have their own civil rights campaign, an entirely different way to view other races, as they technically aren't even human. I'd be interested if a book or television series used this concept.
