oh believe me i had to force myself to try and keep this paragraph short lol

So in 2012 Markiplier uploaded a short video called “Don’t blink” in which he stares ominously at the camera without speaking as a distorted version of his face appears in the background. A month later he posted a similar video called “Don’t move.” Fans decided to create a character based on these videos called “Darkiplier” as in “Dark Markiplier” and came up with lots of headcanons and designs and stuff for this non-existent character, that is, until 2017 when A Date With Markiplier made him canon and Who Killed Markiplier gave him a backstory.

#i’m just gonna take this opportunity to infodumping more #i didn’t mention markiplier tv because it came out after adwm & its. well. i mean fuck mark said it wasn’t canon for a long time #but then they referenced it in iswm so. i don’t know if it’s canon or not ngl #also in between adwm & wkm was darkiplier vs antisepticeye which is very much not canon but is still enjoyable if you can ignore logan paul #also also between dont blink/move and adwm was ‘relax’ in 2016 which iirc features the only footage of red hair darkiplier #and of course dark has appeared in ahwm and iswm as well- though in iswm he’s only a brief cameo #and the focus of the ‘damien’ video is darkiplier though it’s from the pov of inside it’s mind sorta #originally this post was going to include information about wilford as well but it was too long and ngl it just came down to i personally #prefer dark over wil. wilford though originated also in 2012 in ‘the fall of slender man’ and became a reoccurring gag character #he also received a backstory in wkm; and appears in markiplier tv; wmlw; ahwm; iswm; and the waia #as well as various videos pre-2017 where he was still just a gag character #also this is technically a headcanon but since the fall of slender man refers to a character version of markiplier it could be the first #appearance of actor mark since wilford is also in that video #if that is actor mark that makes actor’s first line ‘slender man aint got shit on my swag yolo’#crazwaz posted
