Thinking about what Marvin would look like if the bad luck cat death omen completely corrupted his magic

im writing up some notes on the video and i notice something:
on the top it says “time meddling lead to dismissal”. SO ONE, WE KNOW HOW MARVIN PROBABLY GOT KICKED OUT.
and two, this indicates that the darker notes might be moreso personally from marvin than the rest of the notes on the pages.
like IRIS=Antimatter and the scribbled out words on the argentum inanis page
these events have been playing out over a long period of time. like canonically YEARS. so maybe what we’re seeing here isnt the first time of marvin using the silver empty but him reflecting on using it several times before and seeing what has been the result of it.
so marvin already has experience with seeing (and as the thumbnail shows) experiencing the black eyes that appear whenever in contact with anti HENCE “IRIS=antimatter”
and all the information about the creature under argentum inanis is blacked out because he knows first hand the dangers of it! maybe even blacked out for the good of others (like how Anti says “you all said my name” and how he feeds of the attention we give him. so maybe even reading information ABOUT him and what he is could be so dangerous it warrants never being read/brought attention to)
also this is slightly not related BUT I FEEL LIKE ANTI IS THAT CREATURE IN THE PIC! or at least some hybrid of that creature that took jack’s form and has been that way since SAY GOODBYE.
regardless, i think marvin knows that what he’s doing is definitely wrong and yet continues to look into chase and jack and schneep and the others. maybe the scene of him being surrounded by flames and possibly being possessed himself by anti
is a fortune telling of his doomed future if he continues along this path. but maybe he has to finish what he started, in order to make things right.
Spoilers ahead! You have been warned!
Let's start with the biggest revelation for me. AntiMatter.
We can see in Marvin's book, he has a magical periodic table of elements that closely match the Hermetical Table, implying that he's practicing (or at least researching) Alchemy. But there's one big difference between these two.
As @cyanacity (hope I spelled that right) pointed out, that symbol there is added. A new element that's official. Would Marvin have added it? Or is it a universal difference? As for what it is... We were shown this page as well.
Antimatter. Now antimatter is a relatively real thing. It's still something being studied and can be very destructive and volatile. While Matter is a positive, Antimatter is a negative. While in actuality they'd likely destroy eachother... Maybe in another universe, say one with magic, there could be something that prevents them from doing so.
If you're catching what I'm implying, this could mean Anti is an Antimatter Jacksepticeye. Hence the name. But this would also explain a lot of Anti's behavior too. Jack is positive, so Anti is negative, Anti is also volatile, destructive, terrifying, and does things not explained by normal physics. These two pages explain a LOT of what Anti is.
Either Anti is made of Antimatter, or was created as a result of experiments with it. He's literally the anti Jack.
This entire video, at least to me, helps explain a lot and hits at what might be going on in the future.... And maybe how Anti came to be in the first place. Though most of that is just speculation and has spotty or incomplete evidence.
I will say... These two images alone are of great importance and I'm surely going to revisit them.
Sooooo... I drew Glattbur
