#why does my sketch of him kinda look like markiplier.

[randomshipperhere]

Some of my favorite Markiplier Ego videos

(That isn’t ADWM, WKM, AHWM, WMW, DAMIEN, or AHWM) and the reasons why in preparation for ISWM countdown. I’m super excited you guys. After being teased for years, It’s almost here!

Kinda hope my wish of hearing Dark sings comes to life even if it’s just him humming.

ISWM Countdown- 7 Days.......

Danger in Fiction | Chapter II & Danger in Fiction: The Host

I am on my knees praying and begging that Mark gets another proper villain role where he interacts with another person in a creepy manner in the same way he did in Chapter 2 because that shit was fucking amazing. Y’all remember the fucking edited gifs people used when he stands up from that chair? Good times, good times. People should seriously make more horror edits of Mark, thirst edits ain’t cutting it for me. The editing, pacing, and acting of the video is incredible! Like shit bro, it still holds up to this day in that VHS horror kind of way.

and The Host video? Good Lord, as short as it is, the creepy nature of the lighting and unnatural movement. Familiar items casting an eerie glow and *chef’s kiss*

Google IRL + 360 video + Google Gets An Upgrade

Boy did he used to be my number 1 ego in 2015... Look I just love the comedy of both Google IRL videos a lot.

“my giant man toy... that came out wrong”

“what can you do?” “kill”

“did you say poo the fishes?”

“I can’t kill you if you keep asking questions!” “why not?” *breaks*

4th wall break looking into the camera, his stupid evil looking face, annoyed grumbling while doing a task, very technically I did the objective. He’s so fucking passive aggressive and I like that. Hey there robot man, I’m free this weekend.

Bing is a fucking himbo and I cherish he dearly. The way Google just flipped him off with such a deadpan face makes me laugh every time. Little Bing is a cute chaotic thing. Gosh.

Van vlogs + Don’t remember +  go back to sleep...

1st POV videos outside of the with Markiplier series. Amazing! Specifically talking about the last two because I remember this shit so clearly.

Don’t remember came out my time zone like early in the fucking morning and I was one of those bitches that was just waiting for a jump scare that never happened but holy shit when Dark talked I was like “okaaaay okay. I see what you’re doing” not really but I was just happy to hear from him again in some form. The fandom knows those two are teasers for Damien but I just really like them because SPOOKY rather than lore significance.

For Don’t remember, do Ctrl+U, Ctrl+F then search: keyword ;)

In the Damien explanation stream he said that go back to sleep was his like idea board on what the aesthetic of Damien was supposed to be and I just had this mental image of Mark creating a private board on his pinterest or something and it just makes me smile like a dork. 

Raspy Hill

This is probably his first time actually doing a complete sketch of sorts with the Darkiplier character and I’m disappointed a lot of Mark ego vids forget to add this when this was in every dark playlist prior to 2017. I just love whenever Mark does villain roles. Also these little skits add so much spice to the video. You can even see old comments saying how they missed Mark doing this. Oh, if you only knew what the future had in store.

relax

It’s not even a moment. This entire vid is a fucking joke but whether you like it or not, it IS canon. For a former *coughdamiencough* and up until now, rather refined gentleman to have this awkward in between phase of being a really crappy edge lord is so comedic. It’s just so much cringier BECAUSE former short appearances like Don’t blink or Don’t move he’s actually still creepy.

This was just deadass Mark taking a piss on an essentially fan character for a milestone video. Like can you imagine?! in Markiplier TV headquarters this HAS to be an unwritten rule of things to never speak about. An interesting thing to note is that the signature makeup is done in this video. And while he doesn’t have the suit, he did wear a white tie in this. It’s like… a merge of fan interpretation of the time with his own in the mix.

Don’t Play This Game

Heaven for fucking bid me from laughing so much. Once again Dark is just our beloved emo. Moments like this and Date are just so underrated and underutilized. If you don’t understand what I’m saying, well… nobody does. Seriously though. It’s a very unrelated video and can be considered non-canon considering how little it brings to the table but the fact of the matter is, he decides to just actively show up in this random short video to say the state of his mind.

Do you WANT someone to understand you? There’s like a few hundred thousand willing volunteers and I’m one of them Dark.

My therapist, Dr. Plier

Worst News Doctor shows how bad he is at his job. Showing and telling unrelated things instead of getting to the point. I still fucking love his dry humor. Especially when he tries to cheer Ryan.

In my therapist, I love how he’s shown to be a slightly better but pretty dorky therapist. Guess he had more than one doctorate agree and is better at this second job. He’s dressed down and looks nice (ahh Mark always wore that fit in 2017 too…) in it. He loves doing dad jokes which is an incredibly loveable gap moe from how he reacts in Worst News Doctor and Markiplier TV. I don’t follow much of the ego fanfics but if you incorporate said dad jokes in your fanfics, I love ya.

I also like how Dr. Iplier just knows random info. Pretty general knowledge, no relation to the session but it does lift your spirits up. He’s also an incredible listener here which is just fascinating. Makes me wonder if he adopts a different personality depending on which doctor profession he’s in. Like as a Doctor he’s just bad fucking news, a surgeon, always frustrated, as a therapist? More calm and collected.

Surgeon Simulator IN REAL LIFE

When the video came out no one could fucking tell if it was Mark or Dr. Iplier acting as Mark or even Dark pretending to be Mark. Fans were divided on that. You can still see old comments where they think it’s Dark. I think we can say it’s just Mark right? right? Favorite thing about this video is Matt’s excitement and Mark slowly getting aggressive and annoyed throughout the video. Red hair was seriously a wild era.

.

.

That’s about it. I am very biased towards certain egos and not ashamed. Among these, it’s the google videos that I rewatched the most. Once again, I am asking Mark to please play villain roles. Not morally gray characters but full on baddies.

Survey #383

“the big bully try to stick his finger in my chest  /  try to tell me, tell me he’s the best  /  i don’t really give a good goddamn ‘cuz i got my lunchbox & i’m armed real well”

Ever had a friend online for a long time without seeing a photo of them? Well yeah. Most of my friends are online, and while I've seen pictures of most at least once or twice, some I still haven't. The last time you threw up, what caused it? It was a side effect of a mood stabilizer I started. Any foods from other countries you would like to try but haven’t yet? I'm sure there's something, idk. Do you think the world would be more peaceful without any religion? Yes. Have you ever had a stalker? No. Does it hurt your feelings when people talk shit about things you love? It makes me self-conscious way more than anything. I start to obsess over whether or not the person things poorly or weirdly of me for liking what I like. I just feel judged for liking it, but that's my problem. Do you like it when people give you nicknames? I do, actually. It feels kinda affectionate to me. Do you often find yourself checking out people’s butts? Haha I'm not gonna say it's never happened, but it's not something I make a habit out of for sure. What fandoms are you in? MEERKAT MANOR IS BACK BAYBEEEE, Markiplier, Silent Hill, Shadow of the Colossus, World of Warcraft, Spyro, Wings of Fire, and lots more, honestly. I'm into a lot of stuff, and I don't love in moderation, haha. Are there any fandoms you used to be in, but left? Yeah, like Supernatural, Good Mythical Morning, or Warriors, but it wasn't out of "I don't like it anymore" or anything, I just drifted away. Anything the fans in your fandoms do that pisses you off? World of Warcraft if particular has one of the most toxic fucking fanbases. There are so many goddamn elitists and people who whine about "boohoo WoW is dying" and "omg this game has been trash since Wrath" and yada yada yada and it's annoying as hell. They always find some shit to complain about. Then Silent Hill... ugh. I think people just hop onto the "the series sux after 1-4" bandwagon to fit in with a certain crowd, but that's not the main thing that annoys me; rather, it's the fact the former main admin of the SH wiki made a fucking joke out of us there. He was clearly having personal issues and made a HUGE and utterly ridiculous deal of Silent Hill 4 having heavy symbolism to the main character being obsessed with the bullshit idea of him being circumcised, and it led to a maaaassive thread of us members trying to talk some damn sense into him as he abused his power. He was finally banned by the Wikia staff, but not in time for some gaming websites to publish "news" stories about it because it was just that ludicrous. Now, YEARS later, we still get trolls coming onto the site to try and revive the drama by inserting absolute rubbish into pages or making new ones. Nowadays I'm the main administrator there, and it's fucking embarrassing sometimes. I'm supposed to keep the wiki under control and respected, you know? Ugh, I'll stop. I could rant for a very long time about this. Do you prefer ruffly or regular potato chips? Ruffly. Do you write down your own recipes, or just commit them to memory? I don’t cook. What color do you want to dye your hair? My top three are pastel pink, lilac, and a light creamsicle orange. I REALLY want to dye it SOMETHING. :( How do you like your chicken? Of course breaded (like nuggets, tenders) is my favorite, but I also enjoy is broiled and seasoned well. There's other ways, but because I don't cook, I, uh... don't know how a lot are made lmao. Do you enjoy cheese fries? UUUUUUUGGGGGGHHHHH YES. Do you eat refried beans? I absolutely hate beans, so no. What is a food you enjoy, but don’t have very often? A whole lot because a lot of it is from restaurants and we don't eat out all that much. As well, my diet is very narrow just because of how picky I am. Marilyn Monroe or Audrey Hepburn? Why? I mean, what are we comparing them for? I think Audrey is fucking gorgeous, though. Marilyn is also beautiful. Favorite fictional world? Uh, I dunno. Do you use lint rollers often? No. Do you carry pepper spray? No, but I want to. Has your power ever gone out for more than a day? I think so. Other than a dislike button, what’s something you wish Facebook had? Hm, I dunno. What time do your parents normally get home from work? Mom can't work right now, but I think Dad gets off around 5PM. Are you afraid to ask people out on dates? Yep. Do you think it’s better to look for love or let it find you? Both can work, but I definitely prefer to let it find me. I feel that *in general* that usually has better results. Have you ever found yourself worrying about commitment? No. I'm a very committed person romantically. Would you get involved with someone if they had a child already? No. Have you ever had a rash from poison ivy? I don't believe so, no. Do you have any chairs in your bedroom? No. Did you watch Elmo as a child? Some, yeah. Do you know anyone who doesn’t eat meat? I don't think so, off the top of my head. When you throw up, do you cry? No, but I'm a whiner and will also shake from fear because I have such a phobia of vomiting. Doing it totally turns me into a baby. Who was the last person to carry you? I couldn't tell you the last person to full-on carry me, but back when I tore a ligament in my foot, my mom kinda had me lifted when she would help me walk. Is it easy for you to accept loss? Absolutely not. I handle it very, very poorly. Have you done anything sneaky lately? No. Have you ever had a rolling back pack? Yes. Who knows you better than anyone else? My mom, probably. Would you ever want to go to Brazil? Sure, if the opportunity came up. Are there any medical conditions that run in your family? A lot, mostly heart problems. What band has the best guitar solos? Metallica imo. Who is the biggest jerk you've ever met? She was somehow my former best friend. Have you ever swerved off the road to avoid hitting an animal? I've never been in that situation, thankfully. What's a charity you would never donate to? I'm really not familiar enough with charities and their practices to know which ones are sketch or not. Have you ever grown your own herbs? No. Do you have any exes you'd consider dating again? Yes. What were some of your favorite classes you took in high school? Art and German. Mythology was fun, too. Do you know anyone with a profession in law? Yeah, I have a cousin that's a lawyer. Have you ever Googled yourself? Yeah, outta curiosity. What's the shortest amount of time you've had between relationships? Like, two days. Part of the reason I left Girt was because I liked Sara. As a child, what comfort foods did your parents make for you when you were sick with a cold or flu? Chicken noodle soup. What's a movie series where the sequel was better than the original? Ha, for some reason Inspector Gadget came to mind. I guess from mentioning my childhood. I was FUCKING OBSESSED with that movie as a kid. The first one's fine, but I love the second one. Does your car have heated seats? Mom's doesn't. What is the strangest pizza topping you've ever eaten? Nothing strange, really. Describe your hometown. What’s it like there? Small and dangerous. Lots of run-down areas. A gang nearly broke into our house once, if that helps you get the picture. What was the last video game you beat? I replayed Silent Hill 2 forever ago. What did you learn from your last failed relationship? It really just taught me that you need to take care of your own mental health before you can effectively handle another's properly and strike a healthy balance. What country does your favorite band hail from? Britain. What’s something on your to-do list that never actually gets done? Finish decorating my room. -_- Have you ever been really passionate about something but then lost interest? If so, what was it? Good Mythical Morning, I suppose. I used to be OB-SESSED. I still adore Rhett and Link as people, they are fucking wonderful human beings and excellent entertainers, I just drifted away from their content. I don't really know why. Do you sleep with the TV or the radio on? No. What’s the worst thing about being male/female (whichever you are)? Menstrual cycles, I'd say. It affects your mood so much, and as someone who's bipolar, it can be very confusing. I like to know why I'm feeling a certain way. What movie has the best special effects? /shrug How many work hours per week is too much for you? I wouldn't know, I've never really worked long enough to figure this out. Can you remember your first day of school? I think I have the faintest memory of it. I know I was very scared to leave my mom (I had absolutely awful separation anxiety from her) and I MIGHT have cried, but I don't really recall with certainty. Have you ever entered a modelling competition? Would you? No thanks. Did you keep any drawings/stories from when you were younger? Most, no, because the level of cringe is LITERALLY unbearable for me. Do you have a safe? Mom does somewhere. What’s the scariest thing to happen to you so far? The breakup. That night was just fucking terrifying. I was so certain my life was over, like the situation was so, so impossible in my head. What was your last dream about? (or your daydream if you don’t remember) My memory's faint, but I just remember I had a nightmare where a LOT of my bones were totally snapped in half. When was the last time you saw a relative? Excluding my immediate family, I last saw my now-departed grandmother and my uncle a while back at a hotel as they were passing through. Have you ever been in a TV audience? No. Are you in any way close to reaching a personal goal? Not really... Do you prefer crosswords or word searches? Word searches. Do you like making collages? Not really. Do you remember any inside jokes from childhood? No. What would you love to learn to do? Digital art, like drawing on a tablet. Do you prefer monkeys or lemurs? Lemurs. Do you watch movies based on the actors or the movie plot? The plot, 100%. Are you more shy in real life or on the internet? I am WAY more shy irl.

Twi YouTube AU?? 👀

dlgjk ok i dont have a coherent au idea i just like the idea of like. 

alec being this confident youtuber man who does all sorts of shit, like funny vlogs and maybe some sketches with his siblings or some lets plays or something, idk, he’s just a popular youtuber like, idk, fuckin markiplier or something, you know, kinda does a lot of stuff. maybe some fashion/interior design shit? idk? but like. he’s pretty popular and if there’s any list on tumblr that’s like “some queer creators you should try watching” he’s always up there because he’s pretty open about being gay. maybe at first he wasn’t in the earlier youtube days but he had a pretty emotional coming out video and everyone was like “holy shit” 

meanwhile magnus is like, a quietly popular youtuber, you know? kind of a niche audience, but with decent numbers. he does a lot of things, like vlogs about being trans. like, oh my god. magnus documenting his transition? would that even be a thing? wait oh my god is this mundane au, or is this canon? because twi magnus who’s actually a warlock with a youtube channel would be hilarious but maybe not a good idea. you know what? how about a mix. he’s mortal and was born in modern times and all, he’s like the same age as alec–idk why but i’m thinking he’s like a few weeks older or a month or two older than alec and alec jokingly teases him about being old–but he like…. still has magic, because why the fuck not. actually, you know what? fuck it? it’s an au where magic is just openly a thing. not even necessarily canonverse magic, just. some people have magic. magnus does little tutorials and shit, he has a real talent for it and he’s actually really powerful but he hides that. (possible plotline: some paparazzi discover he’s like, a level ten mage, and it’s a scale from 1-10 and 8 is the most powerful u get most of the time, there’s been a few really famous 9s and there’s been one 10 ever and that was fucking merlin. you feel. because why not. idek fuck.) anyway he has little diy make your own magical charms and weaving enchantment and safe summoning circles and tips for writing magical contracts and shit like that. he’s this cute little nerd but he’s like incredibly knowledgeable and he knows how to teach it in a way that’s understandable and accessible? and he answers questions in really clear ways, and he does amazing demonstrations that look so cool people accuse him of editing but he’s just That Good. and he’s like, actually a really well-published wizard/magic scientist, he invented the fucking portal, but probably under a pseudonym because he doesn’t really want the attention. (his last name is fell in honor of his mentor. yes. although if he does multiple ones he may or may not also use loss, santiago, rollins, etc.) anyway he’s just so fucking good, he has all these videos explaining magical theory in pretty easy to understand ways (maybe going from really simple to like “i understand the basics here and am ready for the technical terms but need an overview” videos you know. 

also he doesn’t just do magic videos, because i said so. also maybe some blogs, and like. because i want to. some fashion/makeup tips. and it’s weirdly endearing because it’s not something you’d expect since he doesn’t wear makeup that often–although a) there are def gifsets of his full makeup looks on tumblr, and b) when he does occasionally decide to wear lipstick or eyeshadow or whatever, most of his fans are like omg yes!! u look cute! also headcanon: twi magnus wears less makeup in general but he still indulges in nail polish. mostly dark/muted colors on his fingers, but bright silly colors on his toes. NAYWAYWYA

also magnus bane is his chosen name because he wanted something cool and wizardy sounding and undeniably masculine. 

also he’s so fucking sweet like look his videos are pretty popular because they’re just handy but he’s not exactly like, a super popular celebrity or anything, you know? but when he does meet fans he’s so incredibly sweet and he does selfies and he’s very appreciative of his followers? he’s so genuine? 

and alec is way more popular–not that he’s not kind and appreciative of his followers. it’s just the thing is, magnus and alec are totally opposite sides of youtube. alec is friendly charismatic completely non-magical youtuber, he plays video games with his sister and like, does vlogs and reaction videos and shit you know. magnus is out here with educational tutorials and excited rambles about magical theory. (i feel like sometimes he accidentally starts doing groundbreaking research for a video and forgets to like, publish it first, and people are like wait what the fuck holy shit) 

but then they fucking meet. 

and a) they’re Instantly smitten. b) this will eventually result in the weirdest collab ever. 

like NO ONE would expect magnus bane, tarot reader and tutorial on magic diy and shit, occasionally does makeup videos and little vlogs and talks about Issues sometimes, to collab with typical hot vlogger gamer man alec lightwood. but it happens, and somehow it’s the best fucking thing ever.

i’m not sure how their channels collide. maybe alec plays a game involving magic and magnus talks about all the ways it’s right/wrong but it ends up just being bantering and giggling and magnus may or may not end up leaning into him on the couch their sitting on and giggling as he makes a stupid joke with the character in the game and immediately everyone’s like…… we ship it

not that i support irl shipping but u know how it goes, everyones like “damn they’re cute” and they’re both openly queer so there’s that. i mean, still not cool, but you know

but really tho they keep doing collabs after that and become actual friends and both start kind of….. doing things for each other’s channel? magnus does a thing like “interview with someone who knows nothing about magic” and we just see a total mundane take on magic and honestly it’s really interesting for both of them, we have more “magnus, who’s an Old Soul and despite having a youtube channel is actually not that great with technology, raphael does all the editing, tries to play video games and kinda fails at it but he gets the hang of some of them”?? he likes puzzle games and mariokart, he does NOT like super smash bros because “THE CHARACTER NEVER DOES WHAT I WANT IT TO ALEXANDER” “you’re just jealous bc i beat ur ass” “you wanna play mariokart again, lightwood?!” 

magnus does a tarot reading for alec, alec does a vlog with him just like “day in the life of alec lol :P” and there’s moments where he just comes up behind magnus like “hey what’s up” and magnus, who’s in rumpled home clothing, sees the camera and chuckles and kinda half heartedly waves it away, and the audience loses their mind at how cute he looks lkdhjgfh

they just become actual good friends, you know? it’s weird bc you wouldn’t think it would work but it really, really does

also on of alec’s fans at some point tries to make a transphobic crack at magnus during a livestream and alec goes OFF on his ass and it’s trending for the next week, the clip goes viral, it’s like “HIMBO GOES OFF ON HATERS FOR BEING TRANSPHOBIC TO HIS FRIEND/POSSIBLE LOVER?” and alec apologizes to magnus for all the attention it brought them but magnus is like “it’s okay, we can use this” and they end up using the hype to do one of those charity livestreams youtubers do and all the proceeds go to something like mermaids or the trevor project, you feel? they’re like “suck it transphobes look at all this money you got trans ppl” khjfgh

ok but eventually they do get together, not on camera, and while it’s slow at first and kind of secret (from the internet, not from friends and family) they’re also not super subtle. they know they’re not, but they’re just sort of like “it’s no one’s business, we’ll announce it when we’re ready”

and honestly tho they love each other so much

also i’ve just decided it’s not uncommon for strong magic-users, even like, level 4 or 5 and up, to have marks, so while his cat eyes are usually glamoured maybe he showed them after a q&a or in a vlog or something? and there are like. lots of gifsets of this, okay, and like, lots of thirst comments. which are like, this weird mix of slightly uncomfortable, really flattering/validating, and embarrassing (in a good and bad way). anyway, magnus has cat eyes in this au, because i fucking said so.

ANYWAY back to their relationship, they’re in love

how did they meet? maybe at a con they bumped into each other, or a totally random fan was like “y’all should do a collab” and everyone was like “what”

or maybe a mutual friend and fellow youtuber, meliorn, who is a nonbinary youtuber who fucking has a sword don’t question me, introduces them? 

idk. but when they meet they hit it off instantly and flirt and end up getting coffee and they don’t date for a while (maybe mutual pining/misunderstandings like “oh he doesn’t like me like that, but it’s okay, we can still be friends :)” or something lkfgjhfgh) but eventually they end up getting together

how? no idea. let me think about it.

idk why but im thinking they’re filming at magnus’s apartment and they’re on his couch and just. late night. they’ve finished up filming but they’re still bantering and maybe playing some video game like mariokart or watching a movie together and just. magnus is leaned all the way into alec, just snuggled up and pressed close against him, alec ends up putting an arm around him, and alec cracks a joke or teases him and magnus sits up a bit to like, poke his chest or flick his nose (you know what i mean? like in an otp person a shifts, still kinda sitting in their lap, and is like [playfully hits shoulder or boops nose or something] and now they’re making eye contact and person b ends up pulling them into a soft kiss???) anyway THEY MAKE EYE CONTACT AND ALEC PULLS HIM INTO A SOFT KISS and alec almost pulls away when he realizes what he’s done but magnus makes this soft little happy noise and leans into him, kissing back, and they just end up kissing for a bit and when they break apart alec is just looking up at him with breathless wonder and magnus is looking down at him with that same soft reverence and alec blurts out something like “you’re magical” and magnus just loses it and he’s giggling and leaning against alec’s chest and alec starts laughing too and magnus can feel the vibrations in his chest and it’s just so nice and pleasant and wonderful and they may or may not end up making out 

they have to talk about it in the morning when they end up falling asleep together in magnus’s bed, cuddled close, but they find, to both of their delights, they both want to date and be in a serious relationship and it’s so fucking good ok 

they go to dinner and the transition from friendship to romance is a little awkward but so worth it, especially when they realize HEY IT’S BOTH YOU DONT STOP BEING FRIENDS WHEN YOU DATE. i mean like, they didn’t not know that, but it’s like, idk how to explain you know they’re kinda like “are we doing this right” and then they’re like “fuck doing it right we can keep cuddling on the couch and giggling and bantering over stupid shit and watching dumb movies and kicking each others asses in video games it doesn’t matter we just also kiss and have dinner more often and sleep together and also we may or may not be in love” 

also they’re That Couple. they’re like straight to the honeymoon, they’re domestic from the first week. magnus is casually doing magic around the house (imagine: he just dyes his hair on a whim and grows it out a little bit and alec is like “i love u no matter how u style ur hair and stuff, and like, ur usual look is so fuckin cute and handsome, but also I Love This.”) but like he’s like (casually summons small ball of light to read book at night) (casually makes alec little protective charms–side note alec def makes him some of these too, but he asks magnus’s old mentor, ragnor, and two of his friends that can do magic, catarina and dot, to enchant it, since he can’t himself, and having magic woven by people who care about him will make it stronger. oh mhyhogfd) and just like. magic used to be something he mostly kept to himself (this def has something to do with his parents–his mom, who he thinks killed herself because of his eyes/magic, his birth dad who’s a powerful sorcerer–level 9, actually, and they think magnus is level 8 for a long time–who was an abusive fuckstick) and then he started doing youtube and it was a kinda show, a gift, something to share, but still not really something he just used openly in front of people he cared about (other than his close friends, since most of them do magic too anyway) but with alec it’s so easy to do that casually?? it’s so easy to just feel comfortable and safe????? yes

anyway they do eventually “come out” as boyfriends, maybe something short and sweet like just. a tweet of magnus sleeping curled up on alec’s chest and he’s like “god i love my boyfriend

they were already not subtle but now that they’re not hiding it they’re so fucking blatantly in love tbh. they do one of those boyfriend tag videos and it’s fucking adorable, at high request they do some couples games kind of videos, like the newlywed game and fuck marry kill (mostly on alec’s channel but magnus has a few, too) and it’s just HIGH QUALITY FUCKING CONTENT

also originally i was just thinking something along the lines of “in canon verse, twi alec is instagram famous/famous on social media and he gets cute tarot boyfriend and is like look at my cute boyfriend and then magnus’s small insta account mostly for his business gets a fuck ton of new followers and alec’s gets a considerable amount too” and now i’m imagining everyone from their respective audiences first thirst-following the other, then actually getting invested 

but really tho they’re the internet’s hottest couple for a while it’s great

for some reason i’m picturing them doing a live tour now, with like, accessible tickets and magnus does magic live on stage and idek what else they’d do tbh but it’d be fun as fuck

anyway this au got away from me

me: i dont have any real coherent ideas

also me: [vomits a 2,500+ word ESSAY]

WKM: 20 Years Later.

2)

Lottie had been leaving and returning to the house a couple of times now, always thinking she’d missed something. There had to be more, she thought, the secret to the house had to be found before the earth swallows up the house completely. At the end of each visitation she returned back to the small flat she managed to rent out. There wasn’t much in the one bedroom flat except for her belonging that she took with her as soon as she was old enough to leave the orphanage, and that in itself wasn’t much either. Not that she minded. The only thing she treasured in any way was her notebook, which could have been carried in her back pocket. Everything else was just clothes and books she had reread a couple of times; the clothes of which many were work uniforms she managed to sneak away before getting fired, and the books were collections of short mythical stories and Sherlock Holms adventures. She learnt not to treasure objects because you never knew when you’d lose them. She’d lost enough anyway, she didn’t need to lose anymore.  But her notebook was something she truly cherished. At first it was given to her as a journal for her thoughts by one of the nurses at the orphanage; she was encouraged to write down how she felt in moments of sheer panic, because sometimes crying all night would get you nowhere, and no sleep. As ridiculous as it seems for some, it worked very well for her, and soon she began to fill less and less pages. But with the book still in here possession long after she left the orphanage, she was now using in to take informative notes and small rough sketches on her findings in the infamous Markiplier Manor.  Her most recent return to the manor rewarded her greatly. 

After walking through the same rooms for the sixth or seventh time in a row and finding nothing but dust and decay, Lottie decided to investigate the grounds around the house. Walking out to the balcony at the side of the house she instantly saw a problem; the garden was overgrown to the point where any previous paths had now disappeared, if not been made very unstable by the undergrowth seeping through every crack. She’d need something to cut her way through; with that she headed to the other side of the house to where the grounds keeper’s hut was. She didn’t know much about who the grounds keeper was when he worked for the manor, but she knew he was the oldest worker there along with the chef. It was rumored that he never set foot in the house for the 15 odd years he had worked there, claiming he had no business with anything but the grounds, but the reason he never set foot in the house was the same reason he never quit his job. Not until that one night. The night where everyone left. He never explained what was wrong with the house, not in any of the new report archives Lottie had seen so far anyway, but in every article, he felt a warning: don’t go back to the house. Lottie had to go back to the house. It’s only human to not do as your told. She reached the hut, also overgrown and carefully fished around to find a pair of pliers. They were rusty, but usable. She started cutting through the garden, already regretting the decision when she saw the scale of the grounds she’d have to cover, the shadow of the house looming over her.

A few hours and blisters later Lottie managed to cut through the paths that led in a circle around the house. After that she managed to crawl through the bushes onto the woods at the back of the house that led up to the hillside. It was strange. Once she crossed the bushes out of the grounds of private property, she felt as if a dark cloud had passed, that the air had gotten warmer, that a weight had been lifted. ‘This house is cursed’, she recalled an article once saying. Something glistened in the corner of her eye as the sun shone through the clouds. She turned to it and saw something shining silver, hidden in the thick layers of years of fallen leaves, so went to investigate it. At first it looked like a lightbulb that had been framed in wire and then coated in a metal glaze, but as she dug through the leaves, she found it connected to a long ebony shaft. It was a cane. A rather short looking one, she thought pulling it out; because it was only the length of her arm and the heel of the cane was missing, she assumed it had been snapped in half. She looked around the place to find the rest of it but with no luck. She decided to head back to the house to head off home. As she entered the house she observed the cane. It was rather well made even though it was broken, it seemed to have a shield crest embossed at the top of the silver handle. The crest was familiar. She’d seen it on nearly every sign at the local library. It was the crest of the city council. So, whoever this belonged to must have been an official in the council, she thought, like the mayor or- The click of a gun being cocked.

Lottie froze and raised her hands up, breathing slowly and deeply as her heart started racing. “I’m sorry, if I’m trespassing,” she spoke clearly and quickly, with a small tremble of fear between words, “I didn’t know people still owned this place. I promise to leave and I won’t come back.” “You’re not the most silent of trespassers, are you?” the gunman said, lightly coughing at the end of his sentence, “Who are you? What do you want?” Lottie gulped and answered, “My name is Charlotte. I just came to investigate the house.” “Investigate, huh?” said the gunman, started to walk slowly in front of Lottie with the gun still aimed at her. He chuckled, his laughs sounding slightly hefty, as if he was trying to stop himself from coughing again. “You’re a naturally curious person, I’m guessing. Well, I know how you feel.” He put his gun away into the inside of his coat, giving Lottie a chance to look at him properly. He was a round looking guy, with beady eyes set in a deep brow. His stubble beard was grey at the sides, which spread into the hair at his temples. He looked like he hadn’t slept for years. Or changed his clothes for years. It was as if he found the guise of a particular detective from a murder mystery rather appealing, and decided to keep the look for the rest of his life. He even wore a faded moth-eaten deerstalker. Lottie looked at him, a little baffled by his appearance. “And what’s your name? Inspector Morse?” she said with a smile. The man raised his eyebrow and reached for his back trouser pocket. “As a matter of fact, you’re not far off.” He pulled out his wallet and flipped it open, showing a rusted silver detective’s badge and his ID alongside it. “You can call me Abe.” he said smugly. As he pulled the wallet away from Lottie’s face, another flap from behind his ID released a long concertina of photographs; all profiles of two people for each photo, one trend in every photo being that one of the persons was him. He quickly grabbed it, stuffed it back in place, and slipped the wallet back into his pocket. Lottie discreetly rested her hand on the handle of the cane within her bag. Just so she had something to swing with if this guy was going to lash out at her. Something felt off about him. She couldn’t tell what, but something whispering from her shoulder was warning her that this man was a dangerous idiot. The three of you glared at Abe, almost wishing he could see you all and run away in terror of confronting the friends he betrayed in Mark’s cruel game. Damien tried to grasp the cane sticking out of Lottie’s bag, but his fingers passed right through, leaving him to clench his fists in remorse.

Abe straightened himself up, winced in pain, massaged his belly with his hand, then straightened himself up again. “So, Charlotte,” Abe boomed, “why are you investigating this house? Looking for something in particular? Or someone in particular?” Lottie brow furrowed. “Is this your house?” Abe chuckled and answered, “No.” “Then it’s none of your business.” Lottie quickly replied. She made her way out of the room. Abe quickly followed after her. “Well, it kinda is.” he scoffed, “I am a detective after all.” “Well, you did hold a gun to my head.” Lottie said, not stopping for him as she searched for the front door out of the house, “That kind of greeting does tend to put a bit of a crimp on trustworthiness.” Abe tried to keep up with her. She walked abnormally fast, or rather, the air that she passed by seemed to pile up behind her, Abe thought, almost as to slow down anyone following directly behind her. Celine smiled as she held her hand out towards the detective, like a police officer in front of an oncoming car, concentrating a heavy aura around Abe to stop him getting too close to Lottie.

“Hey, slow down!” Abe called after Lottie, “You don’t want to mess with me, lady. I have proper authority to be here, unlike you. You are basically walking on the foundation of an unsolved… killing! Surely you’d know about the history of this house if you’ve come to investigate it.” Lottie’s echo further ahead of him replied “Oh, yeah, I know of the killing. It happened on the 13th of October. About 20 years ago.” Abe groaned at her sarcastic attitude. “Well, the investigation is still going on 20 years later.” “Why?” Lottie asked unexpectedly, “Why are you carrying it on when all leads have basically disappeared now?” The detective hesitated then stated, “That’s… classified.” “Meaning you don’t know.” “No.” “Meaning you want to solve the case to get your job back, considering your ID is 15 years out of date?” “No! Well, not really-” “Meaning you want to solve the case for some kind of personal closure?” Abe growled. “No! … You don’t know-…That’s not the point! The point is you can’t just waltz around here like you know the place. You’re basically walking all over the crime scene!” Lottie suddenly spun around to face him, nearly making the detective run right into her. “So are you.” she corrected, “And you don’t own the place either. In fact, nobody does, since the owner was killed. So, you can’t tell me where I can and can’t go.” As she turned to continue walking, Abe grabbed her arm and pulled her back. “Listen here, missy-” he hissed, but was cut off as Lottie shrieked, whipped around and punched his hand off her arm. He rubbed his now freshly bruised hand and gave her a mean look, but quickly relaxed his expression when he saw her terrifying stare. “I’m sorry.” Lottie said, brushing herself arm off, “I don’t like being grabbed.”

“No, I’m sorry. I get mad quickly.” Abe responded with a not-very-concerned tone. He sighed and said, “Look, we both have our own questions we want answers to. But snapping at each other isn’t going to help either of us. I just want to know why you’re here, and if you know anything about the events that went down here that I haven’t already heard yet.” Lottie stood taller and admitted, “I only know from newspaper articles and reports. I’m sure whatever I know, you know already.” Laughed a little and joked, “Heck I was only a year old around the time of the murd-.” “SHhhhhh!!” Abe suddenly hissed, “Don’t say that word.” “What? Murd-?” “Don’t!” he snapped again, “Please, just don’t. Call it anything, but that word.” Lottie smiled. “But what word do you mean?” Abe scowled at her, then looked around nervously. “Maybe it’s best we discussed this somewhere else. You pick where, just anywhere but here.” After a moment’s consideration, Lottie shrugged in mild agreement. She took a step aside and motioned towards the front door. “Ladies first.” she mocked in a flourish; she wasn’t going anywhere with him behind her. Abe looked insulted. “No. Surely you go first.” “Let’s not argue over this small piffle.” she insisted, “unless you want this encounter to get nasty and cause another murd-” “I’m going!” Abe interrupted, striding ahead and out the door. Lottie soon followed him, a satisfied grin on her face.

“Oh, I wonder where she gets that headstrong attitude from.” Damien said, nudging Celine playfully. She gave him a snide look. “She’s clearly William’s daughter, that’s for sure.” she objected, crossing her arms and avoiding looking at Damien’s smug smile.

Survey #382

“’cuz if i stand up, i’ll break my bones, and everybody loves to see a fall unfold”

Ever had a friend online for a long time without seeing a photo of them? Well yeah. Most of my friends are online, and while I've seen pictures of most at least once or twice, some I still haven't. The last time you threw up, what caused it? It was a side effect of a mood stabilizer I started. Any foods from other countries you would like to try but haven’t yet? I'm sure there's something, idk. Do you think the world would be more peaceful without any religion? Yes. Have you ever had a stalker? No. Does it hurt your feelings when people talk shit about things you love? It makes me self-conscious way more than anything. I start to obsess over whether or not the person things poorly or weirdly of me for liking what I like. I just feel judged for liking it, but that's my problem. Do you like it when people give you nicknames? I do, actually. It feels kinda affectionate to me. Do you often find yourself checking out people’s butts? Haha I'm not gonna say it's never happened, but it's not something I make a habit out of for sure. What fandoms are you in? MEERKAT MANOR IS BACK BAYBEEEE, Markiplier, Silent Hill, Shadow of the Colossus, World of Warcraft, Spyro, Wings of Fire, and lots more, honestly. I'm into a lot of stuff, and I don't love in moderation, haha. Are there any fandoms you used to be in, but left? Yeah, like Supernatural, Good Mythical Morning, or Warriors, but it wasn't out of "I don't like it anymore" or anything, I just drifted away. Anything the fans in your fandoms do that pisses you off? World of Warcraft if particular has one of the most toxic fucking fanbases. There are so many goddamn elitists and people who whine about "boohoo WoW is dying" and "omg this game has been trash since Wrath" and yada yada yada and it's annoying as hell. They always find some shit to complain about. Then Silent Hill... ugh. I think people just hop onto the "the series sux after 1-4" bandwagon to fit in with a certain crowd, but that's not the main thing that annoys me; rather, it's the fact the former main admin of the SH wiki made a fucking joke out of us there. He was clearly having personal issues and made a HUGE and utterly ridiculous deal of Silent Hill 4 having heavy symbolism to the main character being obsessed with the bullshit idea of him being circumcised, and it led to a maaaassive thread of us members trying to talk some damn sense into him as he abused his power. He was finally banned by the Wikia staff, but not in time for some gaming websites to publish "news" stories about it because it was just that ludicrous. Now, YEARS later, we still get trolls coming onto the site to try and revive the drama by inserting absolute rubbish into pages or making new ones. Nowadays I'm the main administrator there, and it's fucking embarrassing sometimes. I'm supposed to keep the wiki under control and respected, you know? Ugh, I'll stop. I could rant for a very long time about this. Do you prefer ruffly or regular potato chips? Ruffly. Do you write down your own recipes, or just commit them to memory? I don’t cook. What color do you want to dye your hair? My top three are pastel pink, lilac, and a light creamsicle orange. I REALLY want to dye it SOMETHING. :( How do you like your chicken? Of course breaded (like nuggets, tenders) is my favorite, but I also enjoy is broiled and seasoned well. There's other ways, but because I don't cook, I, uh... don't know how a lot are made lmao. Do you enjoy cheese fries? UUUUUUUGGGGGGHHHHH YES. Do you eat refried beans? I absolutely hate beans, so no. What is a food you enjoy, but don’t have very often? A whole lot because a lot of it is from restaurants and we don't eat out all that much. As well, my diet is very narrow just because of how picky I am. Marilyn Monroe or Audrey Hepburn? Why? I mean, what are we comparing them for? I think Audrey is fucking gorgeous, though. Marilyn is also beautiful. Favorite fictional world? Uh, I dunno. Do you use lint rollers often? No. Do you carry pepper spray? No, but I want to. Has your power ever gone out for more than a day? I think so. Other than a dislike button, what’s something you wish Facebook had? Hm, I dunno. What time do your parents normally get home from work? Mom can't work right now, but I think Dad gets off around 5PM. Are you afraid to ask people out on dates? Yep. Do you think it’s better to look for love or let it find you? Both can work, but I definitely prefer to let it find me. I feel that *in general* that usually has better results. Have you ever found yourself worrying about commitment? No. I'm a very committed person romantically. Would you get involved with someone if they had a child already? No. Have you ever had a rash from poison ivy? I don't believe so, no. Do you have any chairs in your bedroom? No. Did you watch Elmo as a child? Some, yeah. Do you know anyone who doesn’t eat meat? I don't think so, off the top of my head. When you throw up, do you cry? No, but I'm a whiner and will also shake from fear because I have such a phobia of vomiting. Doing it totally turns me into a baby. Who was the last person to carry you? I couldn't tell you the last person to full-on carry me, but back when I tore a ligament in my foot, my mom kinda had me lifted when she would help me walk. Is it easy for you to accept loss? Absolutely not. I handle it very, very poorly. Have you done anything sneaky lately? No. Have you ever had a rolling back pack? Yes. Who knows you better than anyone else? My mom, probably. Would you ever want to go to Brazil? Sure, if the opportunity came up. Are there any medical conditions that run in your family? A lot, mostly heart problems. What band has the best guitar solos? Metallica imo. Who is the biggest jerk you've ever met? She was somehow my former best friend. Have you ever swerved off the road to avoid hitting an animal? I've never been in that situation, thankfully. What's a charity you would never donate to? I'm really not familiar enough with charities and their practices to know which ones are sketch or not. Have you ever grown your own herbs? No. Do you have any exes you'd consider dating again? Yes. What were some of your favorite classes you took in high school? Art and German. Mythology was fun, too. Do you know anyone with a profession in law? Yeah, I have a cousin that's a lawyer. Have you ever Googled yourself? Yeah, outta curiosity. What's the shortest amount of time you've had between relationships? Like, two days. Part of the reason I left Girt was because I liked Sara. As a child, what comfort foods did your parents make for you when you were sick with a cold or flu? Chicken noodle soup. What's a movie series where the sequel was better than the original? Ha, for some reason Inspector Gadget came to mind. I guess from mentioning my childhood. I was FUCKING OBSESSED with that movie as a kid. The first one's fine, but I love the second one. Does your car have heated seats? Mom's doesn't. What is the strangest pizza topping you've ever eaten? Nothing strange, really. Describe your hometown. What’s it like there? Small and dangerous. Lots of run-down areas. A gang nearly broke into our house once, if that helps you get the picture. What was the last video game you beat? I replayed Silent Hill 2 forever ago. What did you learn from your last failed relationship? It really just taught me that you need to take care of your own mental health before you can effectively handle another's properly and strike a healthy balance. What country does your favorite band hail from? Britain. What’s something on your to-do list that never actually gets done? Finish decorating my room. -_- Have you ever been really passionate about something but then lost interest? If so, what was it? Good Mythical Morning, I suppose. I used to be OB-SESSED. I still adore Rhett and Link as people, they are fucking wonderful human beings and excellent entertainers, I just drifted away from their content. I don't really know why. Do you sleep with the TV or the radio on? No. What’s the worst thing about being male/female (whichever you are)? Menstrual cycles, I'd say. It affects your mood so much, and as someone who's bipolar, it can be very confusing. I like to know why I'm feeling a certain way. What movie has the best special effects? /shrug How many work hours per week is too much for you? I wouldn't know, I've never really worked long enough to figure this out. Can you remember your first day of school? I think I have the faintest memory of it. I know I was very scared to leave my mom (I had absolutely awful separation anxiety from her) and I MIGHT have cried, but I don't really recall with certainty. Have you ever entered a modelling competition? Would you? No thanks. Did you keep any drawings/stories from when you were younger? Most, no, because the level of cringe is LITERALLY unbearable for me. Do you have a safe? Mom does somewhere. What’s the scariest thing to happen to you so far? The breakup. That night was just fucking terrifying. I was so certain my life was over, like the situation was so, so impossible in my head. What was your last dream about? (or your daydream if you don’t remember) My memory's faint, but I just remember I had a nightmare where a LOT of my bones were totally snapped in half. When was the last time you saw a relative? Excluding my immediate family, I last saw my now-departed grandmother and my uncle a while back at a hotel as they were passing through. Have you ever been in a TV audience?
