1. Meenah
2. Anti-Jegus
3. Alpha-Jegus
4. Aranea
So….this is a weird shake-up, isn’t it? Like…..really weird isn’t it? It was actually pretty hard because they were all So Close to each other, but I can’t put them all tied, can I?
Do I still like Meenah’s murder habits? No. But, she is energetic, engaging, I do like her “take control” attitude and confidence to match. As well as the fact that she absolutely adores puns and loves it when her friends pun too. Just that little kid moment, as well as being so out of it in fantasy land when she learned about her Beta-version that she didn’t even acknowledge Jake punching her was pretty funny. So yeah….I really do like her.
And…Anti-Jegus. He’s number two. And it was really hard not to put him to first. I get it. He’s a murderer. He is actively trying to murder AJ. And has successfully done so with her dream-self.
BUT
I still like him. I like his craftiness, the Trickster attitude he has, that underlining edge of danger he possess. I like his dumb childish nature of the fluff-porn. As dumb as that way, it was also fucking adorable. I like how he speaks his minds, 100% for magic, persistent.
Again, I am not ignorant on him not being a murderer, or even that he might “change his ways” on this. He is different from Gamzee because I feel like the current Gamzee we have seen has no soul nor emotions. And he is different that Scratch because Scratch was a condescending asshole that has perpetual smugness up his ass. At least, out of those two, AnJ can vary in other emotions.
This isn’t to say that I hate AJ or Aranea either. I love how AJ has a cocky winning side to her when playing their games like chess, and how she got frustrated with AnJ’s trick. I love how Aranea will put her foot down for/against her friend, how she gets angry over improper story telling. The are good characters, just that the other two really came out on top.
