Actor Mark and Bryce fistfight when?
Markiplier and Brandon Rogers both had a Tumblr and they were mutuals.
Wilford talking to Dark
isn’t it so crazy that we’re all going to live forever
Do not test me, I will write a fanfic about this!
Cory, Mark, and MatPat got a job!!!!!
Something tells me this has something to do with the blood, but I could be wrong
WHAT DID YOU DO NOW??
(from Mark's Twitter)
Do you Mean: The Jims?
I did another :)
(I think we know why ‘Hero’ has a question mark after it)
When I saw the crystal thing, my eyes bulged out of my head like a cartoon wolf looking at a pretty lady, I was in shock! But yeah, thought it was interesting so I decided to post about it :)
The Pixar Youtube theory, Part 1: Escape with Markiplier
Hello! The first two I would like to tackle are the With Markiplier series and Escape the Night, and hopefully, next, I can tackle Iris and Sander's sides, talk about Dad Feels and Genloss, try and cross the talking points between them, and at the end I’ll make a post on how they’re all connected and what I think the timeline would be.
Note: I don’t know everything, this is just a theory, tell me if I’m wrong or if you like it!
Let's start with something big;
The houses. In Escape the Night season One, Two, and (arguably) Four are set in houses. In the first season, they contained the evil, trapped in the 1920s, but it sunk its way into Joey. In the second season, they broke a seal to allow them to leave the house, stuck in the Victorian era, and Joey dies and is revived by the crown of oblivion. And the fourth season is the afterlife. Or, I guess, an afterlife, set in a museum, where Joey decides to open Pandora’s box and gets trapped inside.
Now let's look at Markiplier Manor. It is Mark’s estate that he grew up in that has spirits and evil living in the house. Every time he dies, he comes back and gets closer to the entity. The entity then helps him come up with a plan to kill all his friends because the entity wants to leave the house.
Right off the bat, just looking at these two series, we see some obvious similarities. House is evil, has weird spirits roaming inside of it, and makes the people who own it murder their friends. And nobody leaves the house the same. They are still affected by this magic when they leave whether they’d like to admit it or not. Remember this, I’ll come back to it.
Every single time someone new is invited to the chaos, it always comes in a little invitation. Whether written by him or by someone pretending to be him, it always comes in a letter. And what do we get before ‘Who Killed Markiplier’ came out?
Exactly.
Evil house, invitation, good people turning into bad people, and death. In Joey's, there is a lot more beating around the bush, but it gives us a lot of information on how the world works. This leads me to my next point.
The idea of time not being linear, hoping through universes, and getting stuck in loops over and over again. Their dimension-hopping and teleporting back and forth between time all comes... from stones. In Mark’s Space series, you, as the player, replay events, restart over and over again, teleport to different times, and teleport to different universes. And it's all thanks to the warp crystal, this little, blue, glowing crystal tower. It was also used to power the warp core, which caused time loops and paradoxes, and the warp device, which allowed teleportation to different universes.
And now let's look at Escape the Night. Specifically, at the very end of season four, where Bretman and Colleen used ‘The cosmic sphere’ to open a portal and escape purgatory. And what is in the center of this device?
A little blue crystal tower.
This. This one little detail is huge! They look the exact same, they do the exact same things, and they both need to be attached to something to be used properly. And, when attached to something different, it does something different. When attached to the box in Heist, it gives you whatever item you want or need, assuming it takes it from a different time or universe. When attached to the warp core, it's supposed to cause the ship to warp to where it needs to go but caused a time loop in the process. When attached to the warp device, it teleports you to random points across the multiverse. All of the devices work, but it acts erratically and unreliably. But when attached to the cosmic sphere, it projects a portal that you can then walk through. No weirdness, no unpredictability, just exactly where they needed to go.
(My working theory is that the warp crystal needs to be in the cosmic sphere to work properly. If it isn’t, it will be unpredictable.)
The crystal was taken from the afterlife, purgatory. A place completely identical to this one, but slightly different. Darker, scarier, a place filled with spirits and evil, Dark entities.
Kinda sounds like Mark’s upside-down, don’t you think?
But the real question is which one comes first? Well, let's look at what time period each ETN season came from. The events of what happened in the show are linear to how they come out, but the dates of what happens change the timeline completely. Season 2 was the Victorian era, which was between 1837 to 1901. Season 1 was in the 1920s, very cut and dry. And season four was mainly set in the 1940s, but can go completely across time. We know this from the things collected from the different time periods. (Irrelevant for this post, but season three is set in the 1970s.)
And Who Killed Markiplier, according to Google, is set somewhere between the 1920s and the 1950s, meaning the order of events would’ve been S2, S1, WKM, S4, S3. God damn time fuckery, making my job hard.
In season one, the original manor, they ‘contained’ the evil, meaning it couldn’t leave the house. Or we thought it couldn’t leave the house until we see Joey leave the house being corrupted by this evil. Meaning that the evil needs to inhabit someone so it can bring others in. The longer in the house, the worse the effects get. The same thing with Mark’s manor. Two, unnamed, evil entities leave the house through both Celine’s body and your body.
What I’m trying to imply is that, maybe, Mark’s manor is the same house in ETN season 1. “But Devon,” I hear you asking, “How does that make sense? Mark would have to have owned the house at the same time as Joey for that to make sense, considering Mark grew up in the house and Joey ‘inherits’ it at the very beginning.” And to that, I say, “Consider the pockets of time.”
If Joey exists in this pocket of time and then leaves to go back to the modern world, that means the person that owns the house no longer exists. At least, not at that time. Mark was 28 when he made ‘Who Killed Markiplier,’ Meaning he lived in his own place for a while. Since Mark grew up in that time and that house, and since Joey abandoned that house in the 1920s, that means the exact events that happened in that house happened around 1948 at least, which puts us squarely in our timeline.
If Mark’s Manor and Joey’s estate are the same, then that means that the evil and the entities are the same beings. Just like how the warp crystal and the cosmic sphere are the same stone. However, I would like to add one last thing.
Cc! Mark has said that the entities not only trick C! Mark into doing their bidding but also convince Mark that it was his idea the whole time. That idea was to have Wilford kill him in a game of Russian Roulette, have everyone turn on him and kill him as well, and then him and the entity could take his body and get out of there. And I’ve noticed that death description fits two deaths in escape the night season one.
The death of Timmothy DeLaGetto, also known as ‘The Mobster.’
And the death of Arthur.
For those who don’t know, Arthur’s entire role was to manipulate the evil to do what he wants. He was ‘The butler’ of the house, convincing all of the other past owners to feed into the evil so he can do what he wants. It feels like he’s not just working as a butler for the owner, but a butler for the evil. He gets found out, the remaining guests free his brother, the brother then shoots the other two residents of the house along with Arthur.
If I were to guess, Arthur doesn’t like being dead. So after Joey leaves, the bodies get cleaned up, Mark and his family move in, and Arthur is forced to watch Mark, Damien, and William grow up in front of him. Arthur gets replaced with Benjamin, Mark falls in love with Celine, Celine after realizing the house is evil (Because she’s a seer) leaves the house and runs away with William, Damien becomes Mayor, Mark feels worthless and alone and kills himself.
Arthur talks to Mark, Arthur convinces the evil to bring him back, Mark comes back, Mark kills himself, so on and so forth. The entity that works with Mark being Arthur makes sense. He would know that killing Wilford like that would work because he’s seen it work. Once with the mobster and once with him. All he did was combine the two and convince Mark he came up with it.
When Celine comes into the picture, he’s ecstatic because he gets the chance to not just get his own body, but a more powerful body. A body that could do what his and Wilford’s couldn’t. Talk to the beyond and commune with other entities. So he changed the plan and had Mark kick out Celine and Damien from their bodies, forcing them to take yours when they die. But not without taking some evil on their way out.
But, of course, this is just the beginning. This isn’t the last time we see the evil. The evil spreads, and my god does it spread.
(Author’s Note: Joey needs better friends both in and out of canon.)

@heavy-metal-papillon I love this so much, I had to extrapolate
So, I said this in a post a little while ago, but Actor manipulates the shit out of Roman, constantly planting ideas of how similar they are and talking about how everyone else is going to abandon them so he should stay vigilant. And Roman, who wants to believe the best in his friends but is self-conscious (very notably in the series), trusts fully in Actor, loving his natural creative genius and his ability to create in general. And Actor loves how much Roman feeds his ego, so of course he keeps him around.
However, Janus sees right through Actor’s bullshit. (My characterization of Janus is a bit sympathetic, so hang with me.) He doesn’t necessarily like Roman, but he’s not stupid. He knows Actor is only using Roman. And, in turn, using Thomas. He isn’t quite sure what Actor is capable of, but he is not going to let Roman or Actor push him or anyone away.
So while Actor is trying to convince Roman to be his right-hand man and leave the others behind because ‘they’re just going to leave him anyways,’ Janus is working around the clock to A) Find out Actor’s true intentions and past (spoilers: it ain't great) and B) Make sure Roman is always hanging out with the other sides. In his mind, even Remus bothering him is better than Roman hanging out with Actor.
And Roman is confused, conflicted with everything he feels between everyone, but is none the wiser.
THEY SWITCH
Ah yes Antiplier and Darksepticeye my favs <3
Every time I read this post, I read in the ‘rap battles of histories’ voice
And everytime we kiss I swear I can fly

OH GOD!
RICH!! I MEANT RICH

Out of all of these universes, which one screams ‘Nepo Baby?’
And I don’t mean characters or the actual people themselves. I mean which universe has the most privilege and is annoying about it? Which one is most likely to shout ‘do you know who my parents are?!’ in the name of strive?

Me, looking at two characters that don’t know each other and are from completely different medias: Their relationship is so toxic 🥰
Wilford can rizz the fuck outta anyone whenever he wants, no constructive criticism on this post specifically please/j
Me when I get into three:
Me when I get into a fandom where a bunch of characters are played by the same person
It’s always
“Chase ‘n actor!!” “Chase ‘n Damien!!”
What about chase’n those bitches
Did you make your icon yourself?
I DID! I used PicsArt and here's the full image if you want it ❤️ (I tried to add the six characters from each which is why it may look a little weird, lmao)
your blog would have my day back in 2017 when i was deep into the SaSi/Egos/ALTRs crossover trenches istg :') i also remember i wrote a lenghty fic about the Egos and the Sides meeting and to this day people still leave kudos on it on ao3
Very funny that you say that, actually, because my brain has been so deep fried I’ve actually been working on fics of my own about a very similar concept. It's been very fun and, one day, I may post it. Who knows 🤷
Things I think about a lot in my fandoms that I can’t explain:
1. That one fangame that represented Darkiplier as a girl. (Paired with Damien and Celine creating Darkiplier, it makes my head go round)
2. I saw a post that I could’ve SWORN was a SanderSides rp post, but it was a Wilford and Dark rp post. And the only reason I thought it was the first was because of the use of “Storm Cloud” (Now I can only imagine someone calling out ‘storm cloud’ and both of them responding and being really awkward about it.)
3. “What are you gonna do? Punch me? You can’t fucking punch me.” (Blooper Remus. Iconic.)
4. Stan and Patton are, like, the same person. Just different fonts.
5. If they existed in the same universe, Chase would warn the others about Anti and everyones reactions would boil down to “THAT CAN HAPPEN??/WE CAN DO THAT??” (Mostly referring to the sides, Mark’s egos seem a little jaded. More of a ‘well, that might as well happen.’)
6. Does anyone else remember that one time that Patton said “Not all loops are bad. Fruit.”? Because I do. And I can confidently say that Dark and Anti would be furious if they heard Patton say that.
May add more to this, who knows 🤷
What if in space with Markiplier and Sanders Sides combined??
Chaos would ensue. This almost feels like a fanfiction prompt. I’m also going to interpret this as Thomas is apart of the crew and his sides are the different universes, but if this isn’t what you meant you can ask again and I’ll redo it. (Also, thanks to Markiplier lore, this is Canon adjacent!):
Patton would be in Stan’s universe. You, as the player, may never meet him, but to him you’ve known him for all your life. He’s downstairs cleaning up after dinner while stan puts you to bed with a story. Patton and Stan aren’t dating (At least not on paper) they just live together while they sort out marriage issues and this was the best solution they could come up with.
This is my first “hear me out” one, but I feel like Logan would be in camp counselor Mark’s universe. Not as someone that works there, but as someone who monitors the field trips for other students. Bro’s just doing his job.
There's only one place I feel like Roman would fit, and that's with The Sexbang crew? But like, that very specific rendition where they’re all midlevel boys from, like, Skyrim or something? That's the only place that makes sense to me. Jammin and living like royalty.
Another big ‘hear me out,’ but... Janus would be in the noir universe 100% That boy would fit in completely. A universe that's centered around those black-and-white mystery tv shows from the fifties where everything is shrouded in uncertainty? My boy would fit right in.
Virgil is in that emo-boy universe. I’ve completely forgotten what its called. It's the one where mark is crying on the bed listening to his Markiplier tribute video? It's that one. They’re friends.
I’m gonna be 100%, I have no idea where the fuck Remus would go. But hopefully, these ideas will be satisfying (or funny) enough for you: Remus is in the Heehoo universe, they are not friends and both are very territorial. Remus is the bomb in the bomb universe. Remus is in the same universe as Roman. Remus works under chef in that old man Mark universe. Most of what he makes is poisonous for human consumption, luckily most of his customers are aliens.
And that's all I got! Hope you like it, and I’m sorry it took so long to get to ❤️
I’m alive! I’m still going to post stuff! I promise! It's just one thing after another right now, so once I’m back on my feet I’ll be using it to stand and watch my blorbos as they rotate at maximum velocity :)
Which combo of egos/sides would you love see do a lets play together? And for which game?
That's a good question
(Multi-Fandom, Very long post, you know the drill)
I know these two people already exist in the same universe, but Virgil and Janus. I just think Virgil and Janus would be petty to each other the entire time, which is also why they’d play more competitive games.
I feel like a game I could see them all playing a little are games like Don’t Starve Together, Raft, The Forest or Minecraft. Very versatile, and very fun, and it caters to a lot of different audiences. But because they are very different, some of them hop between the two of them to play with different people.
(Ex. Patton likes to play Minecraft, but will play Don’t Starve to hang out with Chase)
Speaking of Patton and Chase, I wanna see them play a game together. Any game, really. Maybe a game like Break Out or It Takes Two! (On second thought, Maybe not it takes two. May hit a bit close to home for Chase.) I just wanna see them cooperate and help each other :( (This one is a bit self-indulgent)
I feel like Logan is good at First-Person shooters. Like, Scarily good at first-person shooters. The others thought he was cheating at first until they realized he was just that good. So Yancy and Jj convince him to play Rust with them, which ends up just as well as they hoped 👍
There is so much I could’ve said about this prompt that I feel like I didn’t do it justice. If there are certain egos or sides you’d like to know about specifically, let me know and I’ll go a little more in-depth
I am so sad because
I can't play Markiplier in Dislyte
MY CHARACTER IN THE STORY THING THEYRE DOING GOT FUCKING STUCK SO I CAN’T EVEN FINISH THEIR EVENT WHAT THE FUCK?!
At least mark’s design looks cool
YES YES A BLOG FOR THESE THREE- I haven’t gotten as deep into Markiplier’s lore vids, but love Jacksepticeye’s egos and the sides (these three also kind of got me into watching others like Kallmekris and Cameron Geller, although they just play multiple characters they aren’t really regarded as egos?) I’m taking that post I saw abt in what order to best watch Mark’s lore stuff because I’ve been confused for a while on how to get into it/try to make sense of the story
I don’t really have anything smart to say or ask…yet. Just. Really happy I found this blog
KALLMEKRIS
God, yes, I love her stuff. I know she doesn’t technically give us a ‘lore’ explanation on why they look the same or anything, BUT GOD I LOVE HER STUFF!
You could watch Mark’s stuff in any order, but I just watched it in the order the stuff came out. Anyways, thank you for liking my blog ❤️
Oh fuckin dear
The fandoms in question:
Welp... Who’s switching with who?
Prompt #2
Just imagine a body swap between your favorite characters from different fandoms, they both freak out and have to learn how to live as the other
Bonus points if they look similar
I haven't seen The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog yet, but I think it would be very funny if it was a ‘Who killed Markiplier’ situation where the bitch just comes back or he faked his death or some shit.
There's so many 🥲 (Even just canon would be so many)
Is there a group name between Thomas, Jack, and Mark? There should be one. I’m gonna make one right now. I present to you:
SEA TRIO!
The reason I called them that is because if you mix the first letters of each of their things (Sides, Egos, ALTRs) You get SEA! I also could’ve gone Side, Ego, Ego (See) but I think this one looks better :)
