* AdaptationalContextChange: A line carried over from the original story is Randy's "Oh no, I don't go for even, I go for winning!" Originally, this is Randy's reply to Jeff stating that they're already even since Randy got Liu sent to JDC after Jeff beat Randy up. In this rewrite, Randy initially sees getting back at Jeff as making things even for defeating him and thus making him a laughing stock, before hollering that he might as well go for more than that.

* AdaptationalIntelligence: In the original story, the doctor merely assumes Jeff's signs of insanity to be an effect of the painkillers. Mr. Patterson, who helps Jeff's recovery at the hospital in this rewrite, books an appointment for Jeff to see a child psychiatrist out of concern of his disturbing behaviour, but he concedes to Jeff's family's wishes to not go through with it since it would be on Halloween.

** Jeff's apparent reasons for turning insane in the original story are a mix of seeking revenge on the bullies and [[{{Sadist}} learning he enjoys inflicting pain on others]], and he otherwise kills his family for no reason (although his mother did plan to have him shot). In this rewrite, Jeff's vendetta against Randy is for causing his best friend's death, and after Jeff's accident, he's more {{reluctant| psycho}} to kill his family, coming to the warped conclusion that killing them is sparing them from a life of misery.
** Downplayed for the bullies, particularly Randy. While Randy, Keith and Troy appear equally vile in the original tale, this rewrite has Randy as their leader and the other two as his not-so-willing sidekicks who even reform in the future. There's not much to sympathise for Randy considering that he causes Ben's death, but setting Jeff on fire turns out to be accidental in this take instead of deliberate like the original.

** In the original story, Jeff is 13 while Liu's age is uncertain. In this rewrite, Jeff's entering freshman year at 14 while Liu is starting grade 8, presumably being a year younger than Jeff.
** The bullies are approximately 12 in the original story, while in this story they are all in senior year with Randy being 17.

Peek A Bangs is now a disambig, so I'm rewriting some examples.


* HidingBehindYourBangs: As a 19-year-old SerialKiller, Jeff [[InTheHood uses his hood to hide his identity before showing himself to Randy]], and with it down, his blackened bangs still hang over his right eye, made more prominent by a left side-shave. He's also adopted a more punkish look, with piercings and black ear gauges.



* PeekABangs:
** As young teens, Jeff and Liu have brown side-swept hair, which helps illustrate their SiblingYinYang. Jeff's hair sweeps over his right eye while Liu's hangs over his left eye. [[FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling Jeff is more short-tempered while Liu is more composed.]]
** As a 19-year-old SerialKiller, Jeff adopts a more punkish look. He has piercings, black ear gauges and a left side-shave, and the rest of his blackened hair (that isn't tumbling over his shoulders down to his stomach) still hangs over his right eye.



* SiblingYinYang: Liu and Jeffrey Woods somewhat contrast each other. One drawing shows that their PeekABangs mirror each other's, and Liu wears more orderly clothes than Jeff, who wears torn jeans and movie slasher shirts. [[FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling Liu exhibits better self-control than his older brother]], which he points out after Jeff had blown his fuse and fought Randy.

Karma Houdini example probably fits Karma Houdini Warranty better. Thinking the Stepford Smiler example overlaps with Broken Smile, just learnt that exists.


* BrokenSmile: Overlapping with StepfordSmiler; when Jeff reveals his outstretched bloody smile to Liu, he says he [[GlasgowGrin carved it himself]] in a playful, yet sad voice. His words and pained behaviour as he proceeds to stab Liu [[ReluctantPsycho suggest that he feels forced to kill his family]].



* KarmaHoudini: Double subverted. Randy isn't arrested for causing Ben to drown as it was thought to be accidental. Getting bleach poured on Jeff and [[ManOnFire setting him on fire]] (although the fire was accidental), however, has Randy spend years in and out of jail for the assault after he outgrows JDC. [[spoiler:Then Jeff and Ben get their revenge on Randy in the end.]]

** As a 19-year-old SerialKiller who's supposedly been on the run for 5 years, Jeff is described to be 6'0 with a lean build.



* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: Downplayed. For Halloween, Jeff's mother buys him a black hockey jersey with accents of red and white, and a Jason Voorhees mask at the center, with a Jason goalie mask to go with the costume. He wears the same clothes when he kills his family, but despite his SlasherSmile, he [[ReluctantPsycho doesn't appear too happy doing the deed]].

** Some drawings show characters with widened eyes and shrunken pupils in moments of shock, or otherwise in Jeff's case. Randy and his gang [[OhCrap wear the same horrified reaction]] when they accidentally burn Jeff alive. As Jeff's sanity weakens, his smile looks manic as his pupils get smaller, which eventually carries into his SlasherSmile. When Liu discovers Jeff's bloody smile, he has the same shrunken eyes as his brother, but from terror instead of insanity.

''Go to Sleep (A Jeff the Killer Rewrite)'' is, as the title suggests, a rewrite of the {{creepypasta}} story ''WebOriginal/JeffTheKiller''. It was posted in 2018 by Master_of_cringe_, otherwise known as Wicked_Darkness on Wattpad.

Jeff's just starting high school, and things aren't going well. Besides his younger brother Liu no longer being in the same school as him, his best friend Ben died last summer, and after beating up the one responsible for his death, Randy, the latter develops a personal vendetta against Jeff. The next time they meet leads to the incident that deforms Jeff physically and mentally into a deranged serial killer.

The story can be read on Wattpad [[https://www.wattpad.com/story/155501897-go-to-sleep-jeff-the-killer-origin-write here]] and the [=MrCreepyPasta=] Amino [[https://aminoapps.com/c/creepypasta/page/blog/go-to-sleep-a-jeff-the-killer-rewrite/kwoB_7x1CGugdgvQ6DPM73Y1zqx70ko1YqxUQ here]]. An official reading can be found on [=YouTube=] [[https://youtu.be/A7cYzIADzIM here]].

!!This story provides examples of:
* AbusiveParents: There are rumors of Randy having an abusive father. The 2nd time Randy meets Jeff, he's prepared to pour bleach on him, which he says his father has done to him before.
--> '''Randy''': One time my dad pulled a bottle of bleach on me. You know, a well-known cleaning product. He heard about all the shit I cause, though that dick is no saint. He claimed that I needed to clean my act up. So, he held me down and poured it all over me. It stung like a bitch but meh, I got out of it fine. So, now it’s your turn.
* AccidentalMurder: It was assumed that Randy got sent to JDC for pushing Ben into a lake, which caused him to drown. Randy says it was accidental, but Jeff doesn't believe him.
--> '''Jeff''': Y-you pushed him! What did you expect to happen!
--> '''Randy''': I didn't know that he couldn't swim, you dumbass!! If the cops didn't think it was my fault, then it wasn't my fault!!
* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: Jeff and Liu already know who Randy is since they saw him the day Ben died. In the original story, the brothers didn't know any of the bullies since they just moved into the neighbourhood.
* AdaptationalIntelligence: In the original story, the doctor merely assumes Jeff's signs of insanity to be an effect of the painkillers. Mr. Patterson, who helps Jeff's recovery at the hospital in this rewrite, books an appointment for Jeff to see a child psychiatrist out of concern of his disturbing behaviour, but he concedes to Jeff's family's wishes to not go through with it since it would be on Halloween.
* AgeLift: Downplayed, this rewrite slightly increases the characters's ages.
** In the original story, Jeff is 13 while Liu's age is uncertain. In this rewrite, Jeff's entering freshman year at 14 while Liu is starting grade 8, presumably being a year younger than Jeff.
** The bullies were approximately 12 in the original story, while in this story they are all in senior year with Randy being 17.
* BlindedByRage: Jeff's temper has caused him to get into troublesome fights.
** Jeff's outburst during an ice hockey game [[IShallTauntYou when an opponent insults him]] leads to a fight that suspends him from the match, and only at that point does the realisation of his actions hit him.
** Seeing Randy already worsens Jeff's fury, especially when he confirms that he's responsible for Ben's death, but when he suggests that he should've pushed Jeff in the water instead, Jeff enters a trance-like state of rage that Liu struggles to snap him out of. In the ensuing fight, Jeff pounds Randy in such a manner that even Liu says is too much.
* ChildhoodFriends: Jeff and Ben were best friends since childhood, so Ben's death hurts Jeff the most. [[spoiler:The two are reunited at the end of the story, as they team up to get revenge on Randy]].
* DistantFinale: The final chapter occurs around 5 years after the previous chapter, where Jeff becomes a killer. [[spoiler:A 19-year-old Jeff has become one of the most wanted serial killers in the country, and he finds Randy, as an adult drug addict, to get his revenge along with [[VengefulGhost Ben's ghost]].]]
* FieryRedhead: Played with. Randy's hair is [[NonconformistDyedHair dyed red]], and he's infamous for having a violent temper.
* {{Flashback}}: The third chapter is entirely in italics and shows what happened the day that Ben drowned. Jeff and Ben went on a camping trip but the former's attention was elsewhere just before the canoeing activity while Ben ran ahead, and by the time Jeff found the others crowding his body, it was too late.
* GlasgowGrin: Liu is horrified to find Jeff's carved smile gushing with blood when he takes off his Jason goalie mask. Jeff later carves a smile into Liu's face after killing him.
* HairTriggerTemper: Jeff always had anger issues, which were mostly minor but worsened after Ben's death, leading him to snap at the smallest things and go into a [[BlindedByRage blind rage]] at times.
* HorrorDoesntSettleForSimpleTuesday: On October 29th, the day before Jeff is admitted home from the hospital, the doctor Mr. Patterson tells Jeff's family that he may be facing psychological issues from his concussion and booked for Jeff to see a child psychiatrist on the 31st. However, the family convinces him otherwise to not have Jeff hospitalised on his favourite holiday, and he returns home on the 30th to celebrate Halloween with his family. Unfortunately, that Halloween night is when Jeff kills his family.
* KarmaHoudini: Double subverted. Randy isn't arrested for causing Ben to drown as it was thought to be accidental. Getting bleach poured on Jeff and [[ManOnFire setting him on fire]] (although the fire was accidental), however, has Randy spend years in and out of jail for the assault after he outgrew JDC. [[spoiler:Then Jeff and Ben get their revenge on Randy in the end.]]
* LastNameBasis: A couple of people (the rude hockey player and Randy) refer to Jeff solely by his surname, Woods, particularly when they're angry at him.
* MalevolentMaskedMan: Jeff wears a costume which includes a Jason goalie mask all day for Halloween, and he still has it on when Liu finds him after he's killed their parents and carved a smile onto his face.
* ManOnFire: After dousing Jeff with bleach, Randy pours some liquour from a can of vodka onto Jeff. He then tries to light his cigarette with a match, but much to his horror, it slips and lands on Jeff, who screams as the flames nearly engulf him until he crawls to the nearby stream to put them out.
* PeekABangs:
** As young teens, Jeff and Liu are both illustrated with long brown side-swept hair. Jeff's hair hangs over his right eye while Liu's hair sweeps over his left eye.
** As a 19-year-old, Jeff has shaved one side of his head to stubble, while the rest of his blackened hair (that isn't tumbling over his shoulders at stomach length) still hangs over his right eye.
* PosthumousCharacter: Ben dies before the story's events, but it greatly impacts Jeff since they were best friends, and explains his hatred of Randy, who pushed Ben into the lake and caused him to drown. [[spoiler:Ben reappears as a ghost with a grown-up Jeff to get back at Randy]].
* ReluctantPsycho: Implied, Jeff is sorrowful while he kills Liu, saying he doesn't want to kill him yet feels he has no choice. He urges Liu not to struggle since he's trying to make it painless, wishing him to be in a better place with their parents.
* SecondFaceSmoke: When Jeff asks Randy why he isn't in juvie, the latter rolls his eyes and blows his cigarette smoke in Jeff's face out of disrespect.
* ShoutOut:
** Jeff is a big fan of horror films, and has seen all the ''Franchise/{{Halloween}}'' movies. Throughout the story, he's worn a ''Franchise/FridayThe13th'' shirt, a Michael Myers shirt, and [[RuleOfThree finally]] a jersey of his favourite slasher, Jason Voorhees, as part of his Halloween costume, with the Jason goalie mask.
** A senior student warns Jeff of Randy by referring to ''Music/RobZombie'''s take on {{Franchise/Halloween}} (since Jeff was wearing the appropriate shirt to suggest that he's seen it), comparing Randy to that of a young Michael Myers from those films.
--> '''Senior student''': It’s pretty much the same situation. Abusive father, whore mother, unstable home and siblings. Yeah, it’s a cliche but it happens in real life.
** When Randy catches Jeff wielding a hockey stick to defend himself against him, he mockingly asks if he's "trying to be [[Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles Casey Jones]] or something".
** Two other creepypasta characters appear in this story. Ben from WebVideo/BenDrowned is Jeff's friend who died from drowning, while their original stories are not connected. On the other hand, Jane Arkensaw, originally from a Jeff spin-off known as ''Jane the Killer'', appears here as Jeff's neighbor who saw him flee from his house the night he murdered his family.
* SparedByTheAdaptation:
** Downplayed for Randy. He doesn't die the second time the bullies encounter Jeff, unlike in the original story where he dies at Jeff's hands. Here, Randy lives to his mid-20s, but the story ends eith Jeff [[spoiler:and Ben]] about to exact revenge on Randy.
** Played with for Jane Arkensaw, Jeff's neighbor. While she doesn't die in her original story (which is a derivative of ''Jeff the Killer''), she barely survives being burned alive by Jeff. In this story, Jeff doesn't attack Jane after murdering his family, unaware that Jane called 911 after seeing him flee from his house.
* StepfordSmiler: Played with. When Jeff reveals his outstretched bloody smile to Liu, he says he carved it himself in a playful, yet sad voice. His words and pained behaviour as he proceeds to stab Liu [[ReluctantPsycho suggest that he feels forced to kill his family]].
* VengefulGhost: At the end of the story, [[spoiler:Ben's]] ghost accompanies Jeff in gaining revenge on Randy.
--> '''Jeff''': ''(to Randy)'' I'm not the only mistake you've caused. ''[...]'' I think you owe [[spoiler:Ben]] an apology.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: The 17-year-old Randy is described to have a bit of facial hair which makes him look a bit older than he actually is, adding to his intimidating aura.
* YouthfulFreckles: Ben, Jeff's younger best friend, is described to have a [[AddedAlliterativeAppeal fair freckled face]]. [[spoiler:He still has a childlike face as a ghost, but it's unclear if the freckles are still there in the illustration]].
