generally i keep my egos pretty close in appearance with just like scars and haircuts and things separating them but man i do love me some change over time headcanons. like completely bizarre, random changes that just make them look less and less like Jack as time goes on, so like Jackie is just getting steadily more red-brown hair, and then a nice russet, and then full-on ginger by the time he’s like six years old. Marvin’s eyes are larger than they used to be and a slightly different color too. JJ’s hair is getting curly and his hands don’t look like Jack’s. Henrik’s pretty sure he’s getting shorter and he is NOT happy about it. Chase erupts into freckles and his face softens. None of them have the same nose anymore. Marvin has these mean sharp eyebrows now and it’s not just because he plucks them. Chase swears his ears stick out more than they used to but he also thinks he’s getting handsomer. JJ’s wisdom teeth grow in for some reason none of them understand and Jackie gets the wrong blood transfusion cause they could have sworn he was B+ two months ago. Henrik sighs and fixes it, complaining about how he has to be the one to always take care of everyone else before fainting from a sudden fruit allergy four days later.
And Anti, you know, Anti stays the same. Anti always looks just like Jack. and he kind of watches from a distance and sees them, fluctuating and whole and alive, and wonders what it would be like to let the idea of being Jack go and to see if he could change on his own. Maybe he’d get taller and his mouth would thin out and his eyes would take on a permanent heterochromia or even a nice rich brown. His fingers would grow longer and slimmer around the hilts of knives and his whole body would shift slightly, his hips narrowing and his shoulders rising up. He kind of likes the thought of it. To move, like human beings move.
But he doesn’t need that kind of weakness. And anyway, he has his goal. So he’ll just stand back, waiting to strike, watching Jameson’s eyelashes get longer and Marvin’s canines sharpening and Chase fitting into size nine shoes. Jackie doesn’t need glasses anymore, a development Henrik complains about at length in a voice slightly lower than the rest of theirs. It means nothing and everything. They’re their own people. At the end of the day, they still look like brothers.
Wolves are huge!!
While walking the dog yesterday, we found the tracks of a pack of wolves that had passed across the edge of our property. (I live out in the highway in Alaska.) I took a picture of my hand next to a wolf track for comparison.
Now here’s a picture of my hand with one of our dog’s tracks:
And he’s not an especially small dog; he’s a 55-lb retriever mix.
And the dog’s tracks next to wolf tracks:
Wolves are huge.
Draw Dark M O I S T (this is a joke ajdsbd)
I’m sorry my brain only saw ‘draw dark moist’ and I blacked out
This is incredible! It makes so much sense!
An incredibly dumb thought came to me when I figured out how to solve the password for aheistwithmarkiplier.com. Dark said that he put in the secret codes into every adventure in this story. HE put the codes in HIMSELF.
For a while I’ve been wondering. Mark said that William, the Actor, and Damien are basically characters borne out of different aspects of himself. And so I was wondering how the hell then does Dark relate to Mark’s charitable side? If Dark is a mutation of Damien, corrupted and angry, what does that say about Mark and his charity? Well, I’ve got it! It all makes sense to me now! Because of this stray thought because of Dark’s ending with the heist!
Willford is boundless, unrestrained creativity. With no one to hold him back or to make him settle down, he will do the most outlandish wild things, even if that means violence. Wilford is in essence the love for creating and imagination.
The Actor is unrestrained ego. He is charisma and the face and the smile that you adore. The Actor is the one you see on the screen and while the other two are always there and are always present, the Actor is the one who gets the credit. The Actor is what you see, but that is also all he is. A transient face. The Actor is in essence the love for Mark’s own self. But not necessarily in a narcissistic sense either. Because in order to know who you want to be and what you need to do to make yourself happy, you must learn to love yourself too. Or at least the person you want and pretend to be.
Dark IS restraint. He is knowledge and patience and anger and restlessness and rules and order. Dark operates unseen, unknown and unacknowledged. He may indulge himself every once in a while, but he has work to do. And the work is never over. Besides indulgence is what the other two are for. Dark cares more and more deeply than the either two do. He is the restraint that keeps the other two from doing anything that they will regret. He keeps us, the audience from ever getting hurt. He may play games, but ultimately keeps us from seeing the worst of the world. Dark is in essence the love for others and the audience especially.
Another way to put this. Wilford is the writer. Mark is the performer. Dark is the editor.
Dark IS the editor! Of course Dark’s always mad! He’s the editor! He’s the one who has to do the freaking WORK! He has to tie everything together. Make everything cohesive. Make it not insufferable for the audience. Because he cares about the audience. He has to schedule. He has to think. That’s why Dark is his charitable side. He cares about the audience. He cares about everyone! And he might get sour about it, but he cares, you know? In the end all three parts need one another to be the Mark that we all genuinely love.
My heart just melted the cuteness is too much
My first comic based on this post that @markiplier posted a couple of days ago. this took me a while but it was definitly a learning curve and I hope to do more things like this because Chica and her hooman are just too precious for this world!
that one extremely homoerotic painting of a babylonian man listening to a babylonian twink playing babylonian harp. that one
Let's see if it'll work
