when there's smth strange in the new mark vid who you gonna call?

crackedegotheories!!!

(got thrown into a swirling rift in what I can only guess is the fabric of reality and told I needed to find an ax to help someone talking in blue lettered text)

You rang? (Side note, YouTube lost its notifications privileges with me, so I saw this message before I saw Mark's new video. It's probably the only reason I had enough time to type this post up before I head off to the airport, so thank you!)

Okay, to recap: We have a really weird drive by bee attack. No relation to the lore or anything, just bizarre. RIP, bee, you went out stinging. Then we have Mark talking about his love of being dropped into horrors beyond his imagining (not a masochist) and deep lore, before asking Lixian to show us something very deep--"throw them in the hole!"

Lixian says to the viewer, "I guess it's your turn to go into the hole" (my emphasis, we'll get back to that), before we go into a pink, flaming hole. It's tempting to draw the comparison to the wormhole from ISWM, but what's interesting is the color--the only time we see a pink wormhole in Space is when Wilford calls us a ride after ours, uh, was "mysteriously" stabbed.

Inside the hole, there are swirling clouds and flashes of blue lightning. Near the end, there's a break in the clouds that actually kind of looks like a side path to the left, but unlike In Space, we don't have an option of left or right here, we just plummet through the main hole to be met with darkness, and blue text.

"Help me", "Please, help me", and "Only you can find the axe."

Someone is asking for help, someone who claims that only the viewer can find the axe. So, let's talk about the axe, shall we?

First, we start with my boy, Damien:

In DAMIEN, the very first thing we see is Damien himself, chopping down a tree with an axe. This is apparently a daily thing for him, and he chops down a LOT of trees, but in the climax of the video when finally confronting Actor Mark, Damien doesn't have his axe. Instead, Celine arrives, using the axe to break through to Damien and, uh, giving it to Actor Mark to hold for a second.

Chronologically, the next time the axe is picked up is at the end of the fan game for Damien made by Lixian, just for Mark. At about the 48 minute mark, Damien/Dark sets his axe down as he's greeted by Wilford, which is then picked up by Lixian himself.

Lixian is scratched up, presumably from his fight with Lunky in 3 Scary Games #61 which has Lixian attempt to cage Lunky only for Lunky to break out.

It's in the following, unnumbered 3 Scary Games that we first see Lixian wield the axe, to split Lunky in half. (Brutal!)

He would then go on to use the axe in 3 Scary Games #64 and 65 to kill the horror abominations of Mark featured in those videos, and attempts to use it again in #66 only for it to bounce off.

Lixian tries to attack, and gets captured for his efforts, and we next see him in #75, waking up outside of the mysterious Plier Corporation and realizing he doesn't have his axe.

Since then, as far as I can tell in what time I have left to type this, the axe hasn't shown up again. It's missing, and someone needs our help finding it, but who and why?

Part of the explanation may lie with what the monster in #66 says at the beginning of the video: "The end is nigh. He has opened the door. The great Eldritch Plier is coming. Your end is here."

We get a hint at who this "Eldritch Plier" might be in 3 Scary Games #69, which begins with a man standing outside of a pink (!) portal, through which pops out Spider!Mark (one of the same creatures Lixian killed when he had the axe).

This man resurrects Lunky, its two halves barely clinging together, and the next time we see it is with Mark, who admits he doesn't actually remember making Lunky.

Lunky's most recent reappearance is in 3 Scary Games #103, where now whole again he uses the viewer as a sacrifice in his ritual to go back and seek vengeance, presumably against Lixian.

So the safe bet is that it's Lixian asking us to help find the axe so he can take on Lunky, right?

Except...why would he send us through a portal to tell us that? And why would he think we would be the only ones who could find it?

It would make more sense if someone else, someone who is well aware of the workings of the channel and the viewers' place in it, someone who may know of this Eldritch Plier and the danger he poses and shares his ability to summon portals, to do so.

Someone like one Wilford Motherloving Warfstache.

Or, y'know, Dark. He might also be involved.

[amee-racle-ofmyown]

some of my own headcanons about @/qjel-01's ISWM monster!Captain AU:

monster captain can change their size slightly (based on the drawings of them with Mark but also outside of the Invincible 2 and how small the ship is compared to them)

the dark appearance and speckled pattern allows them to blend into the darkness of space and distant stars, when eyes are closed they can sometimes seem almost completely invisible

Captain has some degree of control over their gloopiness/solidness

they have a uniquely keen sense of direction, and very good vision

they are very old, and have travelled through many different galaxies

they are able to survive not just in the vacuum of space but in most planetary atmospheres and environments

they are accustomed to just flying through space for a long time without settling anywhere but they like to investigate planets from time to time

on some distant planets, there are civilizations who started to worship them, although they never really understood why

they get very curious when they come across a new species they haven't seen before

when they first met Mark, he was on a mission on a smaller ship with a small crew; something had failed and they were left drifting until someone could come get them. the enormous creature carefully dragged their ship to the nearest human space station

they kept hanging around space stations and flying alongside ships that Mark was on and the two somehow became friends❤️ they love and trust each other very much

human captains and crew members started accepting the alien creature's guidance and help

whilst Mark was busy building the Invincible II, the government and space agencies on Earth were having trouble selecting a captain to lead the mission of starting a colony on a new planet

eventually, Mark managed to convince them that his giant alien friend would be great at leading the crew

The Captain can be quite playful, but is aware that they need to be careful not to hurt the tiny humans :)

[my-ass-is-where]

Wilford? Have you seen Mark lately? Hes told a whole story about different dimensions, do you know something about it?

Wilford is picking some flesh from his teeth with the point of The Crystal from ISWM.

He looks at you with innocent confusion.

"Of course I saw Mark," he drawls. "He lives here."

Dark is watching Wilford warily, sensing something magic from the crystal and keeping some distance from it. "Mark hasn't visited recently. Wilford said the other day he met up with a Captain for an interview, but then also claimed it was him but the other him, so... I'm afraid we don't have an answer for you."

Not So Invincible: ISWM Fanfic

Chapter 3

Chapter 3: Never Alone

She awoke with a jolt, finding herself tangled in her bedsheets, on the floor of her apartment. While the nightmares were nothing new, they were still rather jarring to wake up from.

Of course, that would make sense as most of them ended with her dying. So, that was great.

She lay there on the floor for a long moment, looking up at the ceiling as she tried to calm her breathing. She knew after that, there was no getting back to sleep. There was no point in trying.

She forced herself to sit up, running a hand over her face to try and will away whatever tiredness was left. Her gaze flicked towards the clock. 3am. Wonderful.

A small sigh escaped her as she untangled herself from her sheets before getting to her feet, tossing the crumpled fabric onto the bed.

She could always get to work, start going through the plans on where to build what and when, though at this moment, she found herself unwilling to do so.

Maybe some fresh air would help. She doubted anyone was up at this time, might as well take the opportunity to actually go outside without the layers of her uniform.

She moved over towards the door, slipping on her boots and a hoodie, figuring the hood would give her enough cover in the dark if someone happened to be up and about. She would even be able to hide her hands in the front pocket if she had to.

Slowly, she made her way out of the apartment, pulling the hood over her head as she started to walk, making sure to avoid any of the guards that happened to be on duty. She didn't feel like talking to anyone at the moment, far too lost in her own thoughts.

She found herself heading towards the dining hall, thinking that maybe a cup of coffee would do her some good.

She slipped inside, walking through the dimly lit building towards one of the coffee machines, a bit surprised to see that it already had fresh coffee in the pot.

So, someone else must be having trouble sleeping....

She poured herself a cup, doctoring it up the way she liked before turning to head back outside to drink the hot beverage, only to notice a light coming from one of the lanterns that sat on the tables in the designated outdoor eating area.

While she wanted to be alone, if someone on her crew was having trouble sleeping, she wanted to help. It was her job after all.

A small sigh escaped her as she made her way towards the doors to the outdoor tables.

It didn't take her long to recognize the hunched over form that was staring into their coffee mug.

''Trouble sleeping?''

The form jumped at the sudden voice, looking up in her direction and she was met with the exhausted and haunted gaze of her head engineer

''Captain?'' He asked softly, shaking his head some "No I just....there is a lot of work that needs to be done and I-"

She held a hand up "You know you can call me by my name. We're not exactly on the clock right now." She gave him a small, forced smile as she moved to sit across from him, though she made sure that she stayed mostly in the shadows.

"Right, sorry Cap- erm.... Vaz." It was a lot to get used to, calling the captain by her actual name rather than her title.

He mearly got a nod in response before Vaz continued. "Last I checked, nothing here in the mess hall needs your expertise, and I'm pretty sure staring into a mug of coffee isn't exactly work.... What's on your mind?"

Mark flinched at the question, keeping his gaze anywhere but on his captain. "A lot of things....It isn't something you need to worry about though. It won't effect my work, I give you my word on that."

"I'm not asking you as your captain, Mark. I'm asking as a friend. You....haven't seemed yourself the passed few days."

He seemed to perk up a bit when she mentioned asking as a friend. He had been lucky enough that the captain forgave him. He had been so sure that the chance of any relationship passed a professional one, had been lost.

''As a friend?" He asked, unsure, getting another nod as his response

"Of course you're my friend, Mark. After everything we've been through together.... There is no one I would rather call as such." She assured him, keeping her voice soft. "Now, what's going on?"

A brief silence fell between them as she waited for him to speak, his gaze once again going back down to the dark liquid in his cup, the warmth of the mug on his hands only doing so much to calm his nerves. Should he really be talking to his captain about this? Then again, she was the only one who knew what he went through.

She had insisted that they were friends.

"How can I make up for what I did....when no one even knows about it?" He finally asked, his voice quiet. In fact, it was quiet enough that he was sure she wouldn't have heard it.

''You have nothing to make up for. What happened wasn't intentional. You were just trying to help everyone get to this planet as quickly and as safely as possible. You didn't know what the warp core could do." Vaz spoke, keeping her gaze focused on him.

"That's the point, I didn't know what it could do. I used it anyway. Not only that, but I built the damn thing to begin with!" His voice began to raise a little and he flinched at his own tone. "All those people....all those realities...."

"Mark...." It hurt to see him like this, the guilt he held within him was beginning to consume him. Then again....was she fairing any better at this point?

"You built it to try and fix things. You never once intended for everything to get out of control. You didn't want anyone to get hurt, did you?"

He glanced up at her then. It was only for a second before he quickly looked back down "You." He muttered "I wanted you to get hurt. I-I was so sure that you had caused all this. That I had to be the one to stop you. The one to play hero...." his hands were trembling as he spoke, and without thinking, Vaz reached over to place hers over his.

This had him look up at her, the light of the lantern shining in his tear filled eyes.

"There were no heros or villains in this story, Mark. Just people who lost sight of things. We both found our way back, didn't we? We both managed to stop the destruction." She gave his hands a small squeeze.

"You're the one that stopped it. Not me. I was just going to start the cycle all over again. I thought I knew.... Captain, I'm just.... After everything, you shouldn't forgive me. We should have told the crew the truth. You should have me locked up and left me to rot for what I did."

She knew it probably wasn't safe to talk about all this here. There was a chance, although slim, that someone could overhear. Last thing they needed was for the crew to start questioning them.

She shook her head, finishing her coffee before getting to her feet. "Walk with me."

"Captain?"

"Come on, we can keep talking. But here isn't the best place to do so." Honestly, she may end up spilling to him about her own problems. That was yet another reason she didn't want to risk others overhearing.

When he didn't move, she gave a small sigh. "Well? You waiting for me to say Captain's orders?"

He got to his feet then, not entirely sure where they would be walking to, but he didn't have the energy to ask. Or to even argue.

"Lead the way."

Vaz nodded then, knowing just the place to go to talk where no one would overhear them. Where they could just....clear the air about what was troubling them.

Heading outside of the safety of the forcefield that surrounded the colony, she began to lead him deeper into the forested area.

"More than once I've found myself unable to sleep, so I decided to wander a bit." Vaz admitted softly as they walked.

This concerned Mark, as they didn't exactly know what could be out there. She shouldn't be going off on her own.

"Probably not the best idea, I know. But I can handle myself." She assured him before allowing silence to fall between them. She used the time to think on what to say to him.

He shouldn't blame himself for what happened. She had just as much part in it as he did. She could have easily vetoed him using the warp core, and that would have kept this whole mess from happening.

"I'm not the one who figured out how to stop it, you know." She finally spoke, going back to the conversation they had been having before they started their walk. "In fact, I was completely clueless on what to do."

He glanced over at her then, brows furrowing some "What do you mean it wasn't you? Who else could have figured it out? Was it that Lady?''

Vaz shook her head some "No. She was just as clueless as I was." She stopped walking when they reached a clearing in the trees, the moon bright enough for the both of them to see clearly in the night.

"Then who could it have been? She was the only other one able to follow us...."

"It was you, Mark. You were the one who figured out how to stop things. You were the one that figured out the cycle."

"I....don't understand. I wanted to go back and fix things from the start. How could I have been the one to figure it out?" It was clear that he was confused by what she had just said.

"It's....a bit hard to explain. But it was an older you that told me not to let you go back. He may not have been the you standing before me right now, but he was the you that you would become. He wasn't some....other version. No....he was you."

He looked at her for a long moment, as if trying to process what she had just told him. "That....makes no sense, you do realize that, right?''

"With all we went through, an older you is the one you find hard to believe? Dear God, wait until I tell you about the other yous I ran into."

''I guess not." He muttered. He was silent for a long moment, looking around the clearing they had stopped in. A small stream trickled through it, the soft trickling of the water was rather soothing when combined with the soft chirps that sounded similar to Earth's crickets.

He shook his head some, a small sigh escaping him. "Even if I did figure out how to stop it, I caused it. Nothing will change that."

"Well, no. But if you want to blame yourself, you're going to have to blame me as well." Vaz spoke, moving to take a seat on the ground by the stream. "I could have easily denied use of the warp core. I didn't."

"Because you trusted m-"

She held up a hand, looking up at him. "Look. What happened, happened. We fixed what was broken, and something tells me that throwing that crystal into that wormhole, reset everything."

She found herself rubbing at the scar on her hand as she thought about the crystal that had embedded itself into her.

He opened his mouth to argue, though quickly shut it and took a seat next to her. "I'm sorry...." He muttered. "I know you say that things were fixed and that it wasn't completely my fault. But we can't be sure everything was reset.... And there were things I did that were my fault. Things that I had complete control over."

He waited a moment to see if she would say anything before continuing. "I doubted you. Began to hate you. Each time I died in that place, the resentment grew. I....I wanted you to know how I was suffering." He took a shaky breath then.

''Any time I saw you, I did whatever I could to stop you, not only because I was so sure of myself that you were the one that needed to be stopped, but also because I was so angry...."

He looked down at the hand that she was rubbing, flinching a bit when he saw the scar.

"I didn't give you a chance to explain. I took the crystal from you and...."

Vaz reached out and placed a gentle hand on his shoulder, much like how she had done the moment she realized everything was over.

"I thought once things were fixed....once we got to the planet....I could forget. But I....I'm just so...." a few tears escaped his eyes and he looked away.

"I know Mark. I am too." Vaz pulled him into a hug, needing the contact. If he pulled away from her than so be it, but they were both spiraling. "I'm tired too...."

It was a bit of a surprise to her when Mark tightly wrapped his arms around her in return, returning the hug with one of his own.

A silence fell between them for a long while, in fact, she wasn't entirely sure how long they stayed there like that, holding onto one another as though they were each other's life line.

She could feel him trembling now and again, as if he was attempting to hold back his tears. She felt a few of her own tears escape her as she tightened her arms around him some.

They were both so exhausted at this point, it was hard to keep in all the emotions that threatened to drag them under. They both had kept things bottled up for so long.... It was about time they both let it all out. They deserved that much. They deserved peace.

"Here I am wallowing in my self pity, when you went through just as much shit as I did...."

"Mark...." her voice was soft as she spoke, slowly pulling away.

The head engineer roughly wiped away the tears that fell on his sleeve. "You have trouble sleeping too, huh?"

She opened her mouth to say something, wanting nothing more than to finally release all the negative thoughts and feelings she had been experiencing.

A chance to finally  talk about everything that was constantly on her mind. But would it be fair to unload all of this onto him? He was going through enough as it was. Did she really want to add to it?

Before she had a chance to say anything, both of their communicators crackled on. "Captain, Mark, I need you in Cryo, as soon as possible."

A small sigh escaped her then. Well, at least she didn't have to decide now. "We'll be right there, Celci."

She looked back towards Mark then, a small frown tugging at his lips at the interruption.

"We can continue this later....sounds like Celci needs a hand. She wouldn't be contacting us this late otherwise." Vaz got to her feet, holding a hand out to help him up.

He gave a small nod, taking her hand and hoisting himself up. "You're right.... Let's go."

They both headed back towards the colony as quickly as they could. "I'll meet you at the shuttle. Don't want to show up to work in my pajamas after all." Vaz spoke, already heading towards her apartment.

"Yeah, alright. See you there." Hopefully, whatever was going on in Cryo would be an easy fix. He didn't know if he had the energy for anything else right now.

OH MY GOD??? LETO????????? YOUVE WATCHED IN SPACE WITH MARKIPLIER TOO?????????????? AND AHWM???????????????? I KID YOU NOT I HAD A THREE YEAR HYPERFIXATION ON MARKIPLIER LORE. THE REASON MY NAMES ERIC IS CUZ OF THAT ONE MARKIPLIER EGO. I MET MY PARTNER AND BEST FRIENDS VIA MARKIPLIER LORE. IM JUMPING OVER THE WALLS IM SO EXCITED TOU ALSO KNOW ABT MARKIPLIER LORE

That's fucking amazing.

My roommate @tryhardsars was also obsessed w Markiplier when we first lived together and forced me (<- was literally completely willing) to watch all Markiplier series/lore. I loved it. I enjoyed it as a casual viewer and as a film major. ISWM is absolutely incredible, genius even. I never got into it as much as she did unfortunately but I definitely liked it. But yeah I know all the lore now.

🍓

🍄 (yes I did this on purpose)

🍬 (yes I am enabling you)

☁️

🩷(not on the list just wanted to spread some love 😊)

🍓- How did you get into writing fanfiction? --- I kind of just... have always been doing so. From the moment I first started adoring certain shows or movies or books as a kid, I've been writing fanfiction. In fact, it took a very long time for me to even learn the term 'fanfiction' and realize "Oh. That's what this is. Neat!" (I believe I was very early teens when I first saw the term online.) From the moment I first started writing stories (which came about very shortly after I first learned how to write at all) there was only a short year or two time where I wasn't writing fanfiction. (Hell, my mom still has those short, one page stories I'd write back then. I don't know if it was simply a typo on my part or if I was just really morbid, but they almost always ended with 'And they died.'😂)

🍄- Share a headcanon for one of your favorite ships or pairings. --- (lol, of course you did. And for that, I'm going to give more than one heh~)

Well, I'm not sure if I've stated so here or not (I know I've certainly shared with my best friend over Discord) but I imagine the DA and Damien pretty much fell in love at first sight. And my rendition of the DA doesn't believe in love at first sight lol, yet still got steamrolled with it anyways, realizing what the feeling was just two hours after they met - but being in denial of it being anything more than a crush for months after. Clearly, Love At First Sight took offense to the disbelief lol

Damien's cane and mayor ribbon were a gift from the DA upon winning the election. The ribbon was just a cheeky joke, there was no thought or intent that Damien would go on to actually wear it beyond a few hours after having it pinned to his suit in congratulations by a grinning DA once news arrived that he'd won. Yet, he went on to wear it all the time - regardless of what few people moaned and complained that he was 'bragging' or the like. It came from his Little Monster, so of course he was going to keep wearing it.

As for the cane, it has a sword inside - but only Damien's close friends and family know of it. The DA gave it to him as a covert means of self-defense (though he never had any need to use it) as Damien learned swordsmanship growing up for fun. (Yeah, I'm not the first person to imagine that Damien's cane is a sword cane, I know. In fact, I used to not care for the idea, but it quickly grew on me lol)

🍬- Post an unpopular opinion about a popular fandom character. --- (Oh, I LOVE being enabled to talk about this ssfvsfvsfvf thank you! I don't know if this is actually unpopular, or simply not spoken of/depicted as much, but)

Dark is NOT evil, cruel, cold, or manipulative.

He is miserable and depressed and drowning in guilt over what happened to the DA (regardless of the fault not being his) and wants revenge on the Actor - though he's quickly lost most drive to actually track the bastard down.

Not once has he ever harmed the viewer character. He's been cryptic, yes, and a little creepy in Date (though I take that portrayal with a grain of salt these days, as he wasn't properly developed as a character yet, it being his first canonical appearance and all) but on that same point, he showed to care more about the viewer's feelings over having shot someone than Mark did. If you listen to his dialogue (or read a transcript) when he and Mark are trying to convince us who to shoot, nothing he says is a lie. In Heist, he seemed only to want to wake the viewer up to the nature of what was going on, stuck in the Actor's games. He nudged us in the right direction with the clues to be found at each ending.

And with the inclusion of the implications given at the end of ISWM, he may have set the entire string of events of AHWM in motion deliberately to get a chance to speak with us to try to help us. Why else would he very likely seemingly attach the warp crystal to that box, which we would then after go to try to steal? Why else would he then simply pull us aside - separate us from Mark - and speak to us, rather than use the opportunity to try to get revenge on the Actor, who was right there?

Being the "villain" has never been his goal.

☁️- What made you choose your username? --- Okay, so. My mom gave me the nickname 'Lou' when I was in my mid-teens. There's no basis upon my name at all for why she did so. Even she doesn't know why she gave me the nickname. (She's just rather silly like that lol) At first I hated it, asked her not to call me that, but it just kept happening and I realized that it would undoubtedly continue to happen - not maliciously, mind you - so I kinda just gave in and had the thought of 'oh, I could make it into a different spelling of the word 'lunatic'.' cause, yeah, edgy teen lol. And I became very fond of it, making it my username across many websites and accounts. I always pair it with either the number 13 or letter 'm', cause 13 is my favorite number and 'm' is the first letter of my birth name lol

~~~

Oh boy, I get rambly. 😂😅 And you are entirely too sweet. 🥺😊 Thank you so much for sending in all the asks that you do, I really appreciate it.

[fangsofsin]

Funny! I am rereading once again for the bajillion-th and one time. I love P & P and I have enjoyed every adaption of it too. Sense and Sensibility has always been my number one favorite because I always related more to Elinor Dashwood and Marian Dashwood, meeting them in the middle. But anyway, before I ramble off let me think…

Fitzwilliam Darcy is a bit of an aloof, prejudice moments, jerk when we meet him (personal opinion anyway lol). But we have remember we are seeing Darcy through Elizabeth’s view. Her pride as a whole and against Mr. Darcy taints him in a way.

Kind of like how, we as the viewers of Marks channel, only have a view of him at his worst. Even after WKM, we only get views of a desperate and broken and angry man. With Elizabeth, Darcy doesn’t fall far from this painted view either. Darcy comes off very entitled and this is because of Elizabeth. She can’t see him past her own pride. Kinda like Actor Mark to Dark/Damien.

Now if we look at Dark, he’s not exactly the best character at times. He can be cruel, judgemental, angry, and mean. But we saw what drove him to that. Note that ISWM and AHWM and even ADWM, we the viewer and Y/N are being told a story run by Mark while Dark tries to come in and “help”. But his inflections are only coming off as him degrading us at times. His monologue in Heist is an example:

Same snake, different skin. Always spinning his yarns, his webs, his lies. I always thought you were trapped in his games, perpetually plunging down the rabbit hole of his stories. Helpless. Lost. I know the feeling. Perhaps I'm the crazy one. Perhaps we've met a hundred times already and you simply don't remember it. Perhaps you're tired of me repeating myself over, and over, and over, and over, and over, AND OVER AGAIN! Maybe you just miss my pretty face. It doesn't matter. People like you only want one thing... and it's disgusting. You want answers. Well... games were always his forte. But allow me this one moment of self-indulgence…. So much trouble... all for something so small. Do you really want to know what's inside this Box? The truth? Not the lies he's told you, but the truth? Well... I know how much you love a good game, so throughout this heist, I've hidden codes, several codes. Find them all and you'll get your truth. But that's all I'm gonna give you.

Some of it is a little degrading. It’s like he’s calling us stupid or ignorant/blind. Which Elizabeth’s pride was making her towards Darcy as well. Though not without Darcy causing trouble for Elizabeth’s view as well:

“I could easily forgive his pride, if he had not mortified mine."

This is the quote Elizabeth makes that has always stood out to me about her character. She’s quick and sassy here, giving Darcy his own taste of his prideful dishing from earlier.

Dark could probably have a change of heart like Darcy did. Darcy and Elizabeth are both lost in their opinions and pride that it takes outside influences and hints from around them that what they initially believed was wrong and they’ve been a fool. Dark and Damien and Celine have the common ground that they are right and their opinion’s and their goals are the only thing that matters.

Celine comes barging in during WKM and accusing and a bit pompous. Like she knows everything and is right. Damien doesn’t disagree completely with her but he comes off a bit naïve to everything and that’s kind of like Darcy and Elizabeth. Naive to Mark and Celine and William and even us the viewer because he can’t see past the view that his friends could never be anything but good. Darks fall is that he’s naive to what we do and do not know as the viewer, thinking we don’t see the cracks in Actor Marks persona or that we’re always willing participants and that he knows everything because he’s always right. Once again a similarity to Elizabeth and Darcy.

I’m sure there’s a better way to put it into words but that’s my look at these characters lol.

Hear me out🙇‍♀️

Darkipier and Mr Darcy have totally similar vibes. In something. Can't word enough to decide what exactly it is

Such the perils when you're an English philology major and you have to read Pride and Prejudice (having an absolutely delightful time reading it actually) while being a primarily Darkiplier fic writer

Once again I am curious of everyone's opinions

Do you perhaps have another fictional character you find similar to Darkiplier?

... Or Damien, y'all know I *love* Damien!

Why did The Author kill you off?

[randomshipperhere]

Don’t mind me thinking that depending on the person Yancy could’ve been waiting on you for a month or 3 years before you showed up in ISWM pt.2 and the implications of it.

My dash is an absolute mess rn between the Met Gala and all the In Space with Markiplier memes on it

I'm curious:

What was the first Ego you were introduced to (and the video you first saw them in, if they made multiple appearances)?

The first Ego I ever encountered was the Author, from Danger in Fiction. Mind you, there weren't exactly many Egos back then (hell, they didn't even have the name 'Ego' yet).

Gotta love how the trending tags rn are Met Gala, In Space with Markiplier 2 and the Gay Firefighters Show
