#Codi don't look

Oh William...

What has happened to you? You used to be an admirable soldier.

While we don't know what happened to Wil right after WKM, I love this scenario and the angst it brings. Especially since insane asylums weren't known for being kind to the patients back in those years. And I was going to demonstrate that by adding a mask that doctors used to shut him up. I can imagine them, and even other patients (who would complain), getting sick and tired of Wil's rambling. Especially when he kept asking about his friends, stating over and over that it was just a joke.

That needed to stop, apparently. It didn't matter whether it was with the help of a mask, or through sedation. It was just a flip of coin on which one would be used whenever they got tired of the poor man.

Unfortunately, the only reason I didn't add the mask was because it was difficult to draw, X'D

I'm proud of this piece anyway, so I hope you all enjoy it!

*all he can smell is rotting. He has put up flowers and air fresheners everywhere. A teenager hops the ancient fence and climbs into the yard. This old house has been sitting here for years. The corpses were disposed here. (Sorry for the VERY creepy aspects I rlly wanna make an analog horror of mark’s serious characters) the one in blue is propped up in front of tea that has long been cold. The one cloaked in rage is sitting with her skeletal fingers sitting on the table. Long withered skin and bone.*

“hello?” *the young boy calls into the dark sand deathly silence. He holds out his phone, recording and talking to the camera* “so it is abandoned. Well here we are chat. The last time someone supposedly used this house was in the 1920’s they say a famous seer used to live here.”

Off in the kitchen, Wilford was busy whipping up a fresh pot of tea when a distant voice caught his attention. The voice didn't belong to his friends, however, which instantly made his eyebrows furrow together. Temporarily abandoning the tea to investigate, the fella took a peep out the kitchen window, only to see someone he didn't recognize in the front yard.

It was some teenager, to be exact. But what was...? Oh! Perhaps Damien or Celine know and invited him to the tea party! More friends were always welcomed, of course, so he better introduce himself to their friend, otherwise he'd be a rather poor party host. He was raised better than that.

"Well, you're certainly late to the party!" He said, loud as usual as he popped up behind the kid, unknowingly interrupting the video they were recording. "While I don't like people showing up late, I suppose it's better to be late than never showing up at all."

Happy 1 year anniversary, In Space With Markiplier!

In celebration, have this hit of angst!

[ardenwritesegos]

Ego Fears: Part 1

The entity from Who Killed Markiplier is said to prey on the insecurities and fears of a person. Therefore, each ego would have some sort of fear that it could prey on. (I’m not doing this for any specific reason. No, not at all…)

Darkiplier’s worst fear is a loss of control. Their whole existence was started by all parts of them having no control of a situation. Now that they finally have that back, they don’t want to lose it. This loss of control would include an inability to use his abilities or loss of control of not his body. After all, the entity within likely has the ability to take the reigns when it feels that Dark isn’t obeying. Don’t be weak. Prim & Proper.    As for insecurities, it can play on them not being able to defeat/kill Actor. Weak shell. Weak mind. Maybe it will make them see him when he's actually not there (this makes it hard for them to know when Actor is there and when it's their imagination, adding to their drift from sanity).

Wilford is already broken, so it's rather difficult for the entity to catch him off guard. However, it can easily trigger him by showing him an image of either Celine or Damien. Mayhaps, it could tell Wil that Dark has hidden them from him in an effort to break up their friendship/relationship. In addition, it may cause further death by Wilford's hands, due to the likely emotional breakdown that information would cause. It was an accident...

Engineer Mark is highly scarred by the events of the warp core. Because of this, the entity could play with him in many ways. For one, it could mess with his senses; make him think he's still in a loop. His mind would quickly drift back into madness, possibly leading him to take...drastic measures. Stop the wheel. Let us in. It also could play on his guilt about nearly destroying the universe. They would get into his head, whispering about all the death, all the destruction he caused. We can help you forget.

Well anyway, just wanted to get some of my thoughts out there. If you want more, please say so.

[wilfywarfy]

He's surrounded by darkness. Pure black. It's just him and his thoughts.

"Uhm... hello?"

He calls out, and yet no one answers.

"Is anyone here?"

Nothing.

"Someone? Anyone?"

"Turn around..."

He turns around. Met with a stranger.

"...who are you?"

"You don't remember?"

"I don't remember a lot of things."

The stranger steps closer, the only sound that of a cane clicking on the non existent floor.

"I see... let's just say I'm a very old friend..."

"You don't look old."

The stranger smiles. "You've aged rather well yourself."

"Why, thank you. It's the sugar and skincare."

"Ah, is it now? I'll remember that... Say, would you mind following me?"

"Hmm... I don't see why not."

The stranger holds out a hand. He accepts. He and the stranger walk. To where, he doesn't know. It's simply forward.

"You truly don't remember me?"

"Unfortunately not... should I remember you?"

"It's been a long time since you've made a memory with me. I don't blame you for forgetting."

"Wait, let me try and remember! Uh... Greg? Are you Greg?"

"Heh, no, I'm not."

"Bill? Steve? Dave?"

"No, no, and no."

"...damn."

"It's alright. Don't beat yourself up over such a thing. I'm sure it'll come to you eventually."

"Well, if I don't know who you are, then why are you here?"

"I... I simply felt like you could use a friend. Being in the dark is no fun, is it?"

"Hm. No, it's not."

"Let's walk and talk then. Make the dark a bit less boring."

He agrees. He asks the strangers question, and the stranger provides answers. Questions about music, movies, food, life, anything that came to mind. They talk. Like old friends.

"Wilford."

He looks at the stranger, confused.

"Yes?"

"...you don't have to blame yourself anymore."

"I'm sorry?"

"I can feel it, you know... deep down, in that heart of yours... you hurt. You've hurt for a long time. A pain that you didn't know how to heal."

"...what do you-"

"William..."

"..."

"You don't have to blame yourself anymore. It's been years. Decades. Decades you've lived with this pain... Pain you don't deserve to suffer through anymore."

"...he said it was my fault."

"Don't listen to him... he's gotten into your head enough. You have to forgive yourself."

"But they're all-"

"I know... it's okay... we don't blame you, William... we've forgiven you a long time ago."

His friends gives his hand a squeeze.

"You have to forgive yourself, William."

"But it's all my fault."

"It's not... you need to see that it's not... you were a victim of this story... just like everyone else. Not everything you did was right... but that doesn't mean you deserve to suffer any longer. Please, William... It's time to forgive yourself."

He feels himself stirring.

"It's time to forgive yourself."

"Wait, no, please, don't leave!"

"Forgive yourself."

"How? Please, tell me-"

"Forgive yourself."

"Damien!"

---

He awakens.

"...who's Damien?"

WHOEVER DID THIS I LOVE YOU

[emilyrox]

ooo, now i kinda wanna hear your mack headcanons specifically-

Mack Headcanons/Theories :D

Gender/Sexuality

Trans man + Polysexual

Real reason: because I said so

"Logical reason": Mark and Mack are similar, but not the same. I headcanon Mark as a cis man + pan. So Mack, being similar but not the same, is a trans man + poly.

When we First Meet Him

I like to think that Mack had a feeling that we were from a different universe. That we were not his captain in that universe. But he chose not to say anything about it.

So like...you know how when we point out that he's not Mark he glitches out and is replaced with Mark? And how in every other universe we're in, whenever we mention the warp core or not going back in time to Mark, that universe glitches? What if...if someone were to tell us...that we weren't that universe's captain, we would also glitch out?

Now I'm not saying Mack didn't say anything because he wanted to "protect" us or anything. Kinda sorta the opposite.

I think Mack is such an a-hole to us because his captain in his universe is a mega asshole.

You know the "ending" in part 1 where we constantly beat up/boss around/bully Mark to the point of driving him insane? Yeah. That's Mack's captain but like...50x worse.

So when he sees us, while he has a feeling that we aren't his captain, and sees that we aren't acting like his captain right now, he thinks that we may start to act exactly like them once we reach the new planet.

And he's fucking sick of it.

He decides the only way to prevent us from going dictator on him...is to become a dictator himself.

"Great Job, Mack!" Route

In the route where we do let Mack take the lead, while he is dictator, the only person he seems to be actively hurting is us. He does use our torment as an example to the other colonists as what will happen if they also go against the colony, but no one else seems to be actually punished in that scene. The other colonists celebrate when we are about to be killed by firing squad, as they also believe we had caused them much harm.

Not saying no one else was harmed by his rule as dictator, but it seemed like the only person he truly wanted to torment was us. Because he thought we were similar enough to his captain.

Remember when I mentioned the "ending" in part 1, where we constantly bossed Mark around, blamed him for everything, punished him for every little mistake he made, etc.?

Yeah, this scene is the reverse of that. We are now the ones being constantly bossed around, blamed for everything, and punished for every little mistake we make.

Because that's what Mack's captain did to him.

This was Mack's revenge on the captain. Although we are not his captain, we are similar enough that it still feels satisfying to him.

"You're Not Mark" Route

Speaking of "similar enough"

I mentioned how when we say he's not Mark, he glitches out of existence because it's that bad of an identity crisis.

The line "You do not get to choose whether or not I exist!" still hits hard for me bro.

For multiple reasons:

1. He realizes that we know he's not our engineer, also confirming to him that we aren't his Captain.

2. He's meeting the fate that we would have had if he pointed out we weren't his captain.

3. Us dismissing his identity not only hurts him because of the paradox/warp core, but because of how his captain treated his identity.

Headcanon that Mack's captain, along with already being a mf asshole, was also transphobic. Constantly deadnaming and misgendering Mack just to piss him off and invalidate him.

So when we dismiss him like "You're not Mark. You're not real", he loses it.

We unknowingly just did exactly what his captain would do.

Miscellaneous

I know I said that it seemed like we were the only ones Mack wanted to hurt while he's dictator. But I also hc that he immediately sent all homophobes and transphobes to death.

Fav drink: Diet Coke (he's played by MatPat it has to be)

Fav food: Mac and cheese (No it is NOT just for the pun. I'm also projecting my favorite onto him.)

Doesn't know what fnaf is, but if he were introduced to it he would become OBSESSED. (Once again, MatPat)

In this universe, Mark is Theory Crew.

In our own universe, Theory Crew's real name is Mack.

So Mack and Mark basically just swapped places in this universe.

If the Captain knew that they probably would've just gone out to seek Mark as theory crew.

As a bonus, you get a fic idea I've thought of that takes place after the ending of ISWM! :D

Post-Canon Fic Idea

At some point after the true ending of ISWM, the captain somehow ends up in Mack's universe again. I imagine some kind of conflict/battle/whatever happens, including them running into Mack's captain.

(I headcanon that this universe's captain is played by Jacksepticeye, since he was originally cast to play Mack but couldn't due to Covid)

They're both appalled by each other. Mack's captain thinks we're weak and not as strong as them and a pushover. We realize they're a gigantic asshole and the reason why Mack treated us the way he did.

Doesn't excuse his actions towards us, but an understanding is made.

The Cap tries to convince Mack to leave this universe and join us in ours.

"...Why?! Why should I?!"

"Because things will be better there. You won't be trapped with that asshole anymore!"

"...No...things won't be better...because you're just like THEM!"

"How!? How am I like them?!?"

"You both think I don't exist!"

[flashback to the "You're Not Mark" route]

"...I'm sorry."

"...wait, what?"

"I'm sorry. I was just...trying to fix things in my universe...I needed to get to my version of the head engineer so we could fix a paradox. I guess I just...assumed...based on your attitude towards me, that you wouldn't help if I told you..."

[there's a pause for a moment]

"...Well, then...maybe I...shouldn't have assumed you would act like my captain...maybe then, it would've worked out better for you...for us...I'm sorry..."

"...Maybe your captain shouldn't have been a lil' bitch."

[Mack releases a small laugh]

"So...wanna join my crew?"

[Cap reaches their hand out to Mack, offering him to grab it, if he wants. Mack hesitates. Suddenly they both hear a distant shouting. It's this universe's captain giving orders to someone]

"That lesser version of me will not get away with this! Find them now! Oh, and if [deadname] is with them...bring [improper pronoun] to me as well. I'm sure helping an alternate version of me disrupt my colony counts as treason. And both of them will be severely punished."

[Cap and Mack both exchange terrified looks. Mack looks back at Cap's hand. He grabs it.]

"Please..."

[They run off together. Possibly more action happens idk. Wormhole/portal opens. They jump through. We're back in our universe. With Mack.]

That's what I got so far, @frayro-called-frey!

[silver-halloween]

Just Darkiplier things.

[fettucine-afraido]

Okay um- what if, what if modern day Damien and Eric were to meet up?

Damien feeling bad about how poorly Eric is treated and one thing leads to another and Damien is Eric's legal guardian.

[emilyrox]

Dark: Hi i'd like to talk to you about your car's extended warrenty

William: wtf

William/Dark

[faecaribou]

Bonus:

Do not seek help from THE monsterfucker Wilford Warfstache 😭

[respect-the-stache]

I'm sorry for not be Chatty Cathy lately, especially since it is- or was? Maybe was... Or perhaps not. I'm quite sure at the moment... Nor do I fully understand why I am in such a funky mood...

..It doesn't really matter I suppose. It'll go away in the end anyhow. So don't you worry, dear fans- I'll perk right back up as soon as Halloween draws near, I swear!

[weirdmixofweirdness]

There are so many characters I love in the fictional world that I’d absolutely hate in real life.

(Ex: Actor Mark, Warfstache, Darkiplier)

the actions I’m willing to excuse from a fictional character is determined by the vibe of the whole show/movie/book
