Dorene and Celine

Since Mark has given us permission to share the stuff he said about Dorene on the mixer, I’m gonna subject you to my own theory that has been stewing in my mind since I saw it and keeping me awake. And this one is kind of weird, so it’s either going to blow your mind or make me lose all of my credibility.

But first, here is a just slightly abridged transcript of some of the things he said about her concept (I tried to stay as close to the original as possible to avoid another game of telephone).

Dorene was a special case. Because I wrote in something, because it was story important, to showcase that you should not be awake during the initiation of the wormhole. It's bad. And clearly it's bad: you, the captain, were awake and everything is caused by that. Dorene is another person on the ship who was awake at the exact same time that you were. Everything that you can do, all the choices, the infinite choices that have been made, will be made or are made and are all simultaneously occurring, that happened to you – also happened to Dorene. At the exact same time. That's why Dorene, when you first meet Dorene, is kinda like “Oh, of course I'll help” even though things are glitchy and broken, that's why Dorene during the second time gets weirder and weirder, that's why Dorene the third time is already wise to everything that's happening. There are different points in time that Dorene has been experiencing in all of this chaos, but it has been happening at the same time it's happening to you. [...] Dorene is a colonist on the ship. But just like everything on this ship, and in this universe, and in this story, things can echo and get distorted as they go backwards and forwards in time. What Space is, it's a justification for everything to occur, that has occurred. The ripping open of this wormhole, the interweaving of these multiverses, the overlapping of concepts, the area outside the universe – you know, “the void”. All these things can exist simultaneously.

There is a lot to unpack here, but what stuck with me is the concept of her being able to make choices like we do and thus practically doing her own playthrough while we struggled to save the ship.

Maybe she went down a whole different path with universes that we didn’t even encounter there, but might have seen at a different time. And maybe even experienced another story or two from a different perspective than we did. She could even have gone through some older Markiplier projects since there is no clear timeline any more.

Now I might be going a little too far, but, you know how many of us made our own heistsonas or spacesonas or just any other kind of self insert OC? And even if we never drew them, we probably had at least a vague concept in our minds.

Guys. WHAT IF. She “played” through Who Killed Markiplier and DAMIEN as Celine.
