Laughing Jack gives Aeliana a show!

*This fanfic is underneath my folder titled “Creepypasta stuff”. Gacha Club character designs are under my forum titled “My character designs<33[2]”. Laughing Jack is a Creepypasta created by Snuffbomb. Enjoy!*

“Children of all ages, prepare to laugh until you can’t laugh at all, for I, the one and only LAUGHING JACK, will bring you a show of hilarity and awe the likes of which you’ve never seen before!” Laughing Jack beamed.

He then reached into a cardboard box and pulled out balloons, twisting and turning them into various animals. The undead children might have been bored if it weren’t for the fact that most of them were worriedly watching Aeliana (even the ones without eyes seemed to be watching) and some of them were trying to lead her away, but Aeliana stayed, watching with wide, soft eyes.

From out of his pocket, he took out a lemon meringue pie and pied his own face, something that he hated, but something that the children loved.

Well, only Aeliana clapped. The others did not, but again, the others didn’t matter.

After that, he let sparkles rain down from the tent ceiling, rainbow sparkles that morphed into stars, stars that morphed into tiny dancing acrobats and then, dissolved.

Laughing Jack then twisted and contorted his body into odd, peculiar shapes that no human could obtain, bending his elastic-like limbs in every which way, hearing only one little girl laugh and then…

He unbound himself rapidly and quite comically, he thought, saying with a grin:

“Anddd that’s a wrap, but don’t worry, my dear friends! We’ll have another show soon!”

By then, we’ll be very good friends. Laughing Jack thought, trying to keep much of his excitement contained.

Hello, My Friend!

Hi Vamp! I'm here to check out this new installment in LJ and Aeliana's story!

Ooo, we get a glimpse into the sort of "show" that Jack will put on for these children, at least the first time around! This feels so deceptively innocent and sweet, that especially with the dead children watching, that inherently makes it creepy too. It's like watching some of those old kids' shows or movies, knowing some disturbing lore behind the set or actors, and it's a cool angle to explore for a creepypasta story!

For a more technical review, I have no recommendations! Great writing job.

For favorite lines and parts, I would go with...

Children of all ages, prepare to laugh until you can’t laugh at all,


"Until you can't laugh at all" has SUCH dark undertones, that was an awesome and subtle spook!

Well, only Aeliana clapped. The others did not, but again, the others didn’t matter.


I love this to show how little Jack cares about these kids once he reaps what he wants from them—all his focus is on Aeliana, the live one who still has something to offer...

Laughing Jack then twisted and contorted his body into odd, peculiar shapes that no human could obtain, bending his elastic-like limbs in every which way, hearing only one little girl laugh and then…


Ooo, I get he's a doll so it's easy for him, but this still comes off as so whimsically creepy! Like a contortionist at a circus ^^

Overall, that was a really cool followup to Aeliana's storyline! Nicely done! :D

Thus concludes my review. To leave off, here are some inspiring quotes, courtesy of your resident Poe freak ~

"They who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night."
"Words have no power to impress the mind without the exquisite horror of their reality.”
"I would define, in brief, the poetry of words as the rhythmical creation of Beauty."

Thank you! I%u2019m going to add more to this at some point! :>

I saw Laughing Jack so I thought id come by for more since ei was reading about him last night.

Just a few quick thoughts tonight. I would have liked to see if the children reacted to ANYTHING Jack did, and if not, why did he continue to do it? Is it just necessity as a clown that he perform to Zombie children no matter what?
Alina shows up and is kind of the narrator, but besides the mention of liking his first trick kinda, she doesn't really do much. I did like that in one line she showed how foe her it was all about her entertainment. She had no feelings for the others.
It would be nice to see a little of the setting. Are they in a graveyard? A circus tent? Is it night time or day? Is the sunny weather an ironic setting or is the gloomy night fitting in being one of many combatants against Laughing Jacks attempts?
I find it interesting that in other stories he's much more violent but here he is just performing his clown duties. Although the ending seems happy it could be considered a double entendre and more of a threat than a hopeful expectation on his part.

Well, I have other fanfics that connect to this that explain this. He%u2019s really only performing for her. It%u2019s nighttime at his circus. She will be used later on but not yet.

Below is what she%u2019ll be used for.

Spoiler
He and Jason the Toymaker (another Creepypasta. I ship LJ with him) will later murder her and use her soul to power a puppet that will serve as their daughter.

Well that gets dark lolol
