"goodbye internet"

i will proceed to have a mental breakdown and fall asleep crying

MatPat

I had an entire mental breakdown in my room after watching the goodbye internet and my aunt thought I was giggling and listening to music.

Anyway to cheer somebody up here's this thing I found

Guys, I could be tweaking, but is the end of threadville where Rocky and oliver die a metaphor for how farmers have to put down dogs if they attack the livestock?

Yeah, our grandma has that mirror for a reason. I think supernob mentioned that in the puppet world, all puppets have four fingers. How many fingers are on that hand? That's right four.

Grandma knows something

On top of that, I've also been seeing theories that the entity is our grandpa.

Another threadville theory!!!

You know what? I've been wondering about the entity since the game came out? How do they know so much about the puppets? I don't think they're physically in threadville, so how'd they get enough information to write the threadville pages? I have a theory

Here, take a look at this:

No, no, take a CLOSER look

Look who it is!

What if "piper" is doing some sort of spying?

Now,I know this theory could totally be proven wrong in the blink of an eye, but just here me out!

This could also be a child if you observe the decor on the journal. I'd think a child is pretty easy to manipulate. So what if this entity has influenced "piper" in some way to get information on the puppets within threadville.

Also, very small Rocky theory:

I think there's a reason Rocky doesn't DIRECTLY live in threadville.(you probably know why)

Theory about Threadville!

( tagging @st4rry4543 so they can see it!)

So we know how Threadville is in this kind of other world right?

And that we came here because of our sweet grandmas mirror? Well..

What if Threadville was a show and the producers somehow made the mirror portal to film it? But our grandma (I’m calling her Rebecca now hehe) in a turn of events was trusted with the portal because she designed the puppets?

This could open a lot of questions and answers. Like it could explain how she even HAS a magical mirror portal in her attic, but it also raises the question…like- why was it concealed? Well I have the answer (for this theory)

Human interaction was corrupting the world.

Okay okay hear me out on this! The puppeteer guy could be like a person who..Yaknow ACTUALLY puppeteers the puppets? Or like I don’t know told them what to do? And they could’ve gotten trapped as a spirt/Entity in the threadville world. Because what happens when us, A technically human shows up? BAM! Rocky turns..

Maybe the world needs two technically humans to be in threadville in order for the corruption to work! And ALSOOO! My idea for where charlotte came from was that, Rebecca found a baby puppet and decided to like, Make it into baby Charolette! And she had to quickly get her to threadville without being there too long to actually start corrupting the world! Hence why nobody saw the “parent” of Charolette! And this could mean there IS an exit from threadville but only people who worked on the show and Rebecca know how to get out.

Might add on this later!!!

Seeya peeps

Threadville: theories and analysis

Rocky:

Okay, from what we've gathered from the trailers and other short videos, supernob we can easily figure out that rocky is being controlled or under the influence of the "entity."

From what we know(based on the threadville pages), Rocky is the "perfect candidate" for these 2 key elements

• strength

• weak mentality

It seems as if this entity here needs a thing's mind to be weak in order to fully control them. Rocky seemed to be easy to be manipulated. But how is the question. How does this "entity" break one's mind? Do they have a physical form? Or do they communicate mentally? I have no idea, but I do know one thing. This entity is extremely smart. Now, it doesn't take rocket science to write notes or pages, but for this thing to have a full-on plan on who it wants to control is interesting.

The only question I have is: What do they want? Has something happened to them, or are they just simply evil( I'm going with the second answer)

Veena:

Veena drops in the category of "potential candidate" because of her lack of physical strength and because her mentality is also quite weak.

But it was noted that her teeth could come in useful. Which makes me wonder. Why does veena look the way she is? Well, from her character card, we know that where she comes from, everyone saw her as a "freak" and she just wanted a place where she could be accepted.

Let's take a look at her child photos:

Yeah, she doesn't seem too happy. Maybe because she had a rather grumpy attitude as a child OR the more likely reason is because she's unhappy with what she's wearing. Notice how veena is much happier when we're in threadville compared to her younger self. That's most likely because she's a spooky girl! She loves spooky things. That's probably one of the things you can tell about her, right off the bat.

Oliver:

Oliver is a "strong potential candidate," mostly due to his physical strength

But it seems as if he has the strongest mentality out of everyone in threadville at the moment. That amazed me considering that his family is not in a very well state. Heck! We're not even sure if his family is alive. But we do know for sure that his dad is gone.

From what we see, oliver is pretty neutral with everyone in threadville. Except for veena because they are best friends.

From what I've observed, oliver may feel threatened by rocky. Either because of his size or the fact that he knows what's going on. Notice how oliver didn't exactly freak out when he saw rocky in that state. Instead, he focused on guiding us through the tunnels. Is it because this has happened before? Does he know what's going on with Rocky?

Family in threadville: Oliver's and rocky's(maybe Charlotte as well)

Here are some images

Oliver's family: Evelyn(mother), jasper(Brother), and June(sister)

Maybe it's just me, but doesn't Oliver's mom look kind of sick in the first picture compared to the rest? Also, I realized something about the second picture. This was from supernob's Twitter, and the caption read: "You shouldn't blame yourself for what happened. There was nothing you could have done." What happened here? What could have occurred so bad that she had blamed herself for it? Was it something regarding oliver? Probably not. My best guess is that it had something to do with her husband. And is that fire reflecting off her eyes? Did her husband's death have something to do with a fire?

Oliver's siblings:

Realize how Oliver's siblings look NOTHING like him or his family. Could they be adopted? Of course, in the real world, people can inherent traits from their ancestors or other family members. So I guess that applies in the puppet word as well.

Rocky's family:

So, from Rocky's character card, we already know he's half bear half dog. But this photo of his parents confirmed it.

Here, wait a minute, take a minute to look at younger rocky

I don't have anything to say in regard to younger him he just looks adorable.

ANYWAYS-

I'm guessing his parents are still alive, but do they know what's become of their son? We know nothing about them. We're not even sure if they were good parents. But I wonder how they would react if they saw the state rocky is in now.

Charlotte:

Charlotte's character card says no one knows who Charlotte's parents are or where she comes from. So they just left their child there. Why? Was it because they didn't want her? Or because they really COULDN'T give her the proper care she needs.

THANK YOU FOR READING THIS THATS ALL I HAVE FOR NOW BUH BYE MY ST4R BABIES.

Game Theory: The Secret Life of Markiplier

(I’ve no idea whether Mat and his team actually check tumblr, but I thought I’d put my two cents out there anyway.)

MatPat, I love that you covered this!!! And I think you did a wonderful job connecting, covering, and pulling it all together! I want to welcome you to the very specific subset of theorists that have devoted their time to decoding the YouTube-specific world of the egos; we have a lot of fun here when we’re not on fire! A request before we get into the meat of this post: Cover Antisepticeye? I’d love to hear your take on him! I reccomend you start with Jack’s Sister Location series from October of 2016, and go from there. And hey, if you want to collab with someone who’s been tracking all this stuff for literal years, I’d love to work with you! I’m sure tons of us would. :D

Anyway, to my point: There’s a couple of things I wanted to talk about in your theory. Specifically, I want to address Wilford’s role in the backstory of WKM, the cabin, the timeline, and the composition of Darkiplier as a final character. Also, bonus personal theory at the bottom of the post!

First, The Colonel (whose name we now know is William Barnum) didn’t kidnap Celine. The general concensus is that they had an affair, and when Mark found out, Will was forced to leave, Celine left Mark and Will, and Mark became reclusive. It was only at Damien’s urging that Will even came to the poker night, and he still had a major beef with Mark until he snapped at the end of WKM. Now, this isn’t 100% confirmed, but it’s confirmed that Celine made a decision of her own accord to go with Will (Mark says this in the BTS for WKM).

(...lots of acronyms today.)

Second, that cabin in “Go Back To Sleep” could be a reference to another of Mark’s egos, The Host, formerly The Author. More thoughts on him in a moment.

Third, ADWM is ambiguously placed in the timeline, as there is barely a proper timeline at all. We the theorists tend to believe that ADWM happens sometime after WKM and now WMW (Wilford Motherloving Warfstache). 

Fourth, Darkiplier’s composition, for a lack of a better term. Darkiplier is, canonically, according to Mark (IRL Mark), Damien’s spirit using Celine’s power in the DA (Audience)’s body. It’s questionable how much of the house’s influence is present in Darkiplier as a final product, but it’s clear that that’s where his powers come from. So, basically, the spirit that was Damien was corrupted by anger, hatred, and the supernatural into a being bent solely on vengence.

Now back to the Host. Can I also talk about how it’s implied that Actor Mark (your Character Mark, but this is the community name for him) has children? Who are they and where are they? Here’s my personal theory: at least one of those kids is the Host. Where would he get his powers other than from the house? Perhaps his need to be a famous author came from a need to be acknowledged by an absent asshole father. And then maybe let’s take it a step further: how did the Author lose his eyes and become the Host, and how did he join Ego Inc? Maybe a vengeful evil spirit made a deal with him to finally get the attention he craves, and that spirit gets his power on his side?
