Darkiplier
Surface Pressure
Deep down he really does care about his “brothers”
He thinks he needs to keep up the tough guy act to make them think he isn’t afraid
He is
He REALLY is
He’s worried about the space/time continuum, keeping order, and making sure the ipliers’ existence stays a secret
He tries not to let the others see the tears that involuntarily start to fall as Louisa sings about her struggles as the strongest sister
Wilford
He probably heard all of the songs before watching the movie
He wouldn’t really cry for any of them in particular (feeling that he doesn’t necessarily relate to any of them)
However
He would look at certain egos to watch their reactions during different songs
He would notice the small things that happen and slowly learn more about his “brothers” based on the musical numbers and their lyrics
After the movie, he’d probably go and visit the egos that had the worst reactions (who got the most emotional or those who would straight up leave the room)
He did get a little bothered listening to “Dos Oruguitas” though
He didn’t get emotional per say
But watching Pedro die with the love song in the background kinda reminded him of when he lost Celine
Fortunately, he opted not to dwell on it too much
Actor
Waiting On A Miracle
This boy is INSECURE because of his breakup with Celine
Is he good enough?
Has he done enough?
Is he really worthy of anything?
He wants to be better
He wants his life to be better
But everything seems to slip through his fingers, coming back to resent him later on
He just wants someone to open their eyes and see that he’s worth their time, even if that person is Dark
Mirabel dancing on screen, singing about how she wished to be noticed as part of the family, made Actor tear up, wiping them away before someone could see them
Eventually, it got to be too much (especially seeing how Mirabel was pushed away by her family after trying to help them) and he left the room, using the excuse of getting more snacks
As soon as he entered the kitchen, he had a silent breakdown
Googleplier
Surface Pressure
I can’t really hear Louisa sing “I’m pretty sure I’m worthless if I can’t be of service” without thinking about Google and his first objective
Yes, his secondary objective is relatively important, but the first one is.. Well it’s his PRIMARY objective
If he can’t do anything other than hurt people, then what is the point of him being there?
His optics widen and his mechanical heart speeds up
“How do you feel?” survey pops up and he clicks on one
“I’m in this picture and I don’t like it”
Bingiplier
What Else Can I Do?
He’s imperfect
That’s all I really need to say, but I’ll continue
He’s always compared to Google and he knows deep down that he’s worth more than his search bar abilities
He doesn’t want to be perfect like Google
He just wants to be himself, which is hard when everyone is always doting on him for every mistake he makes
Isabella creating spiky plants and beautiful flowers in front of him makes his optics widen and he slowly smiles, feeling an odd mixture of happiness and sadness as he watches her accept her imperfections in spite of her family’s expectations
Dr. Iplier
He doesn’t really get emotional during the songs
However
When it’s revealed that Bruno has been shunned by his family because of his gift, he smiled sadly
“How unfortunate,” he thought, “for someone to be abandoned because of something uncontrollable and never be spoken of again for fear of taboo”
He’s seen patients in the hospital who never have anyone visit them
He always feels sad when he finds out that someone has been abandoned
He secretly makes trips to animal shelters for that reason, to visit the abandoned animals and give them some love
He gets happy again when Bruno is reunited with his loved ones who welcome him back with open arms
Yandereplier
Dos Oruguitas
He wouldn’t relate to any of the English songs enough to have a real reaction
He gets emotional during certain parts of the movie because he recognizes a lot of what’s going on in the Madrigal family (Toxic family roles and stuff like that)
He feels bad for the characters (especially Mirabel and Bruno)
But when “Dos Oruguitas” starts playing and we find out the heartbreaking truth behind Abuelo Pedro’s death
WHOOOO BOY the tears start FLOWING
He hates to imagine the pain Abuela went through, losing the love of her life
Yandere, being a very romantic man, can’t stand the thought of his own senpai leaving him
Like, she’s everything to him!
He’d become very protective of her after watching this movie, afraid of anyone taking her away from him
He’s fine with the movie though, loves the music for the most part
Yancy
Friggin ALL OF THE SONGS
He loves music and finds each of them so amazing
He also kinda relates to each of the English sung songs in their own way (except “We Don’t Talk About Bruno”)
WOAM: The want to be extraordinary and help others
SP: The need to be the tough one and look out for his fellow prisoners and weaker “brothers”
WECAD: The want to live life how he wants without being the picture perfect civilian that the world wants him to be
He thinks very highly of this movie and loves it to bits
He does eventually become frustrated with how often “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” gets sung by people both online and in real life
Like, he gets that it’s a catchy song, but still, give it a break
Illinois
Waiting On A Miracle
Yes, Illinois is a special adventurous and flirtatious boy
But not everything is really as it seems with him
His whole “Everyone falls in love with me” act is a facade
He’s trying to convince himself that he’s loved / cared about by someone
He took up adventuring to be different
To be a conversation starter
To be interesting so that somebody
ANYBODY
Would look his way and want to be around him
After all..
He wasn’t special or cool enough growing up to have many / any friends
He sees way too much of himself in Mirabel and ends up leaving the group for a few minutes to cry in the bathroom
Engineer Mark
Waiting On A Miracle
What else needs to be said?
If given pictures of Engineer and Mirabel everyone would say they were the same image
Insecure
Feels unwanted
Wants to be impressive and help those around him with his talents and ideas
Hides behind a false persona of happiness
THEY
ARE
THE
SAME
PERSON
He’s close to leaving the room but stays put, activating his space helmet which is also soundproof so no one can see / hear him start to cry
Poor man can’t hear “Waiting On A Miracle” without having a breakdown

Giving: Gifts
Based on how he treats you during ADWM, I'd assume he would like to give you things.
Like, dude was offering you dinner, saying he could take you anywhere, he could give you ANYTHING.
I also think he'd smile if he saw how happy you'd be to receive the gifts.
Receiving: Quality Time
Since he has access to anything and everything (except Mark's channel), he would probably just be happy if you spent some time with him
You two don't need to talk or anything, just be in the room with him and he'll be happy
Poor baby has spent so much time alone that he just needs to know someone's there for him nearby
Wilford Warfstache
Giving: Words of Affirmation
Honestly, this is one of the only things that makes sense to me
He uses so many nicknames for you (gumdrop, sweetheart, sweetie, honey, honey bunches, etc.) and loves to give you compliments
If you are the type to get super flustered when receiving compliments, he'll do it 10-fold with a smile
Receiving: Physical Touch
Mans doesn't even know what’s real or not anymore
Like, he watched his friends die (by his hands or otherwise) in front of him
Give him hugs because it will remind him that you’re real and actually right in front of him
Cuddles
Lots and lots of cuddles
He loves being the small spoon
Googleplier
Giving: Acts of Service
Nothing more to say really
I mean, he’s GOOGLE IRL
He genuinely likes helping you out
Especially if you’re the one who asks him to assist you in a task
Google likes to feel wanted and needed
Especially by you
Receiving: Words of Affirmation
Make sure you tell him how much you appreciate his help
Especially if you pair your praises with a tight hug and/or a kiss
He’s a pretty confident guy, but even the mighty Google needs a reminder that he’s wanted
Bingiplier
Giving: Quality Time
Though he’s not as reliable and (formally) useful as Google, he’s actually a pretty fun guy to hang out with
He loves showing you tricks and going out to fun places with you
Honestly, he’s just happy when you’re with him
It makes him feel special
Receiving: Words of Affirmation
Obviously
Poor baby needs to be told he’s good for something
Everyone compares him to Googleplier and it really kills his vibe
Please for the love of jimbalooshee tell him that he’s doing a good job
Tell him you love him
Say that he’s appreciated
JUST PLEASE LET HIM KNOW THAT HE’S NOT JUST THERE FOR DECORATION
He just wants to be loved and useful
Yandereplier
Giving: Gifts
He really likes giving you things
Stuffed animals, candy, flowers, body parts from a mutilated corpse, a new video game
Just whatever he thinks will make you smile
Anything for his senpai~
Receiving: LEGIT ANYTHING
He’ll love almost anything you do!
His gifts are the things he’s stolen from you for his Senpai Shrine
He loves any compliments or comforting words you give him
He’s down for physical affection anytime and anyplace (especially in public)
Quality time is basically anytime
You’re his senpai!!
Dr. Iplier
Giving: Works of Service
Trust him
He’s a doctor
Just let him take care of you and he’ll be happy
He takes it upon himself to see that you’re happy and healthy
He does a really good job of it too
Receiving: Quality Time
He’s an ambivert
He spends all his extrovert energy at the hospital with his patients and colleagues
Then he comes home and recharges himself (hopefully with you)
If he's having a hard day, he'll invite you over just so you can pamper him
He loves coming home to a nice dinner then relaxing
Watching a movie and falling asleep on the couch together?
Heck yea
Late night cuddles if you're sleeping over?
Sign him up
Sometimes, he’ll decide to take a day off of works just so he can spend more time with you
Actor Mark
Giving: Gifts
Smug and rich(ish) boi
If he’s not too busy spoiling himself he’ll probably get you something (depends on his mood)
Don’t be surprised if he gets himself something better
He says he deserves it
Receiving: Words of Affirmation
After Celine left him he kinda became a little self conscious
He gets nervous that you’ll leave him too
That’s why he (randomly) buys you gifts
You are gonna need to constantly tell him that you love him and that you aren’t leaving him
He does love you too
It’s just kinda hard to tell at times
Yancy
Giving: Quality Time
Prison boi loves spending time with you
You’re his first girlfriend in a long time
Maybe ever??
He can’t remember
He loves showing you new dance routines and songs he’s been working on
Every so often, he’ll sneak out with you to the prison roof and just spend a few hours stargazing (like a date)
Receiving: Physical Touch
Touch starved baby
He only displays affection when you’re alone, typically speaking
He does have a reputation to hold after all
Yancy likes hugs
He loves it when you hug him from behind
Especially if you’re shorter
If you’re taller than him (over 5’ 10”) and rest your head on top of his it also makes him happy
It makes him feel like a teddy bear
Cuddling
Late night cuddles are his favorite
He also really likes kissing, but that is saved for when you two are alone or unless he’s jealous
Illinois Jones
Giving: Quality Time
He enjoys every moment you two can spend together
He’ll never admit it but he kinda hates being alone, so the fact that you decided to stick around possibly permanently??
Happy mans
He’s just happy to be around you
He loves sharing facts about different treasures or (if you see them out and about) different animals
He’s kinda like a golden retriever honestly (he gives off those vibes)
Receiving: Acts of Service
Help him pack for trips
Go through a trap for him
Take a heavier load when he’s tired
Anything like that
He really appreciates it
He likes to know that he isn’t the only one doing the work
He’s had lazy treasure hunting partners in the past and it WASN’T pleasant
Head Engineer Mark
Giving: Acts of Service
Have you seen this man??
He’s basically listening and ready as soon as you open your mouth
He feels happy knowing you trust him with a task
Or he’ll randomly do something helpful because he knows that you’ll be grateful
You yawn during late work hours?
He’s there with a cup of coffee
You can’t fix something on your own?
He’s there to fix it by himself or alongside you
Forget Illinois, this man gives off TRUE golden retriever energy
Receiving: Words of Affirmation
Everyone on the ship (except you) seems to hate him in some way
Tell him that he’s doing a good job and that he’s a good engineer
Please
He needs it more than you realize
He feels really bad about the whole Wormhole paradox incident
You gotta comfort this man every so often because he’s on the brink of a breakdown sometimes but he knows how to hide it
