Hello, it's been a while. I am writing this post in order to make an apology for writing the story Eyeless Jack 13+ years ago. I know that the creepypasta community isn't as big as it used to be, but I still see that this site is active, and there are still people doing narrations of stories on Youtube, Eyeless Jack included, even though I was ashamed of the story after I wrote it and requested it to be removed from the wiki. My opinion has only soured since then, and I regret that I even wrote the story to begin with. This is one of those things where, if I could go back, I would stop myself from ever writing it. I'll have to elaborate on some things for further context:
First of all, I didn't even come up with the name "Eyeless Jack"; if anyone remembers the Pastamonsters comic on Deviantart, the person making that comic came up with the name - they had made a post with a compilation of sketches of different creepy images which were on this wiki, and the blue-masked character that was Eyeless Jack was called that in the post, and I ran with it, thinking that a story should be written just based off of that image alone (though I was the one who added the black goop coming out of the eye sockets; the kidney theft part was probably being subconsciously inspired by organ theft urban legends). When I wrote the story Eyeless Jack, I was twelve years old - I am twenty-five now, and this story was one of the things I regret the most in life. It's startling to me that, despite it being known that I wanted the story removed from the wiki because of how atrocious it was, people still do narrations of it and think it's good. You can even tell a child wrote it; in my bio on this wiki, I used my childhood nickname, and this account is named after a Pokemon character. I saw on the Villians Wiki that the invention of the Eyeless Jack story is credited to a guy named "Papa Pinche" - that guy is not me, I don't know that guy, that information is fake. There's also fake information that Eyeless Jack is a story from Canada - I was born and raised in the US.
When I was really big into creepypasta when I was younger, I would see people making fanart of Eyeless Jack and lumping him in with other characters. I am sorry that I wrote this story to begin with because of how it led to all these people making fanart and fanfiction of this character, and I only added fuel to the fire by just adding lore I made up off the top of my head (like Jack's last name being "Nyras" - that's just something I came up with out of nowhere when people were asking me about lore). Various creepypastas way back when, one way or another, treated morbid and awful subject matter very flippantly, and my story was among them. I am sorry I wrote this, and I am sorry it spread like wildfire and so many people liked it to the point of making fanart and the like. However, the username "Azelf5000" is connected to Eyeless Jack at this point, and I saw that even in 2016 long after I left this community, people were still coming to my wiki talk page on here asking me about lore related to the character or questions related to shipping.
If anyone is curious, I will not be doing a remake of the story. The whole entire thing, how bad the original was and everything else related to this, just left an awful taste in my mouth, I don't even want to see other people doing remakes of this. If I could, I would wipe all trace of it from the Internet. If you just sit and think about it, I have no understanding why people think it's good because of how the story makes no sense in numerous ways - as I said above, you can tell a young child wrote it. (For example, you have the ridiculous idea that a cannibalistic serial killer would stop to pose for pictures with you after breaking into your home and killing your brother). That's how it tends to be when you have kids and teenagers writing stories when they want to be "serious and mature" - they just throw in a ton of gore because, due to lack of life experience, don't know how to write a "mature" story; they think adding in a bunch of grotesque things makes it "mature and serious" - I was part of that mentality when I wrote Eyeless Jack, and, once again, I am sorry. I don't even like horror as a genre of literature anymore, anyways. After I post this letter of apology onto my account here, I am going to log out of it and never log back in.
Thank you for reading this letter of apology,
Joseph
