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
Iplier Egos x reader HCs - Their Favorite Non-Video Game
Dark: Chess
I think he would enjoy how complex and mentally challenging it can be
Chess is also considered a relaxation game for some people
So I wonder if maybe he’ll play chess in order to calm himself down when the other egos (or someone/something else) is driving him up a wall
If you play chess and you’re good at it, you’d probably be his favorite opponent
If you don’t know how to play, he’d be happy to teach you
He’s always happy to spend time with his darling
Wilford: Pie Face or Headbands
It depends on his mood
One moment he’ll be taking the risk of being hit with whipped cream, the next he’ll be crying because of memories of “That Night”
He’s haunted by his past and it really does affect what he can and cannot play at times
When he’s not in the mood for Pie Face, he’ll sometimes play a fun little game like Headbands
A guessing game that can become very chaotic very quickly
Life needs a little madness and that sounds like a good way to set it free, especially if it’s with you
Actor Mark: Poker
He has a gambling addiction
Probably
It’s a way to get more money for his “luxurious” lifestyle
If you play with him, trust that he’ll be flaunting his victories in your face
If he loses, he’ll act like it never happened or give a lame excuse as to why he lost
If you don’t play, that’s probably for the best
But at the same time, if he’s playing against other people and you’re with him, he’ll use you as a kind of “good luck charm” instead of a competitor
That’s just his way of bragging to the others that he has such a lovely lady by his side
Yancy: Charades
It kinda matches up with his musical hobby
Since charades is a game of movement and guessing, he’d probably enjoy it
Also, it’s a multiplayer game so he could play with his fellow prisoners
If everyone is busy, you can play with him, just the two of you
He’d figure out how to say “I love you” in body movements without using sign language or actually touching you
He’s really good
Illinois Jones: Any Card Game
He has limited space when he packs for an adventure
If he’s going to take a game to play while he’s out and about, it should NOT take up much room him his bag
That’s why card games are his favorite
They are very entertaining and don’t take up much room
Even a simple deck of playing cards can go a long way
He loves playing with you, his partner and girlfriend
It’s nice to play with someone rather than being stuck in a single player game for a long time
Dr. Iplier: Operation
It’s like practice for his job but it’s a game
Those tiny pieces are especially tricky and he LOVES it
He feels very happy and accomplished when he completes the entire game without getting Cavity Sam’s nose to light up
If you play the game with him, then expect him to guide your hands from behind
Like that romantic yet annoying thing that couples do when one of them is working on something
He gets really close, his whole body pressed up against yours
When you successfully extract a tough object, he’ll whisper praises in your ear
You can feel his warm breath and it sends shivers down your spine every time
If he wants to really make you flustered, he’ll nibble on your ear and kiss your neck
Just a little something he does with you and you alone
Google: Google Feud
I don’t think this counts as a video game
Anyway, he likes to extend his knowledge by playing this game
It helps improve what he could potentially expect one of his “brothers” or you could ask him at any time
His primary objective being what it is
If you decide to play with him, he’ll enjoy seeing your facial reactions when you read off the answers, or seeing your smile when you get something right
He might be a robot and not fully able to understand the concept of love
But he truly enjoys spending time with you, someone who treats him just like a normal person
It’s something that makes him feel human
Bing: Cards Against Humanity
Why does that game just seem to fit his personality (and search engine)?
It’s goofy, funny, and at times inappropriate, just like him
It’s a game he can enjoy with a lot of people
Unfortunately, he can’t play a one-on-one game of CAH with you, his girlfriend, but he’s happy that he can enjoy time with you alongside the other people in his life that he cares about
Yandereplier: Hide and Seek
What’s more romantic than a friendly game of hide and seek?
Especially when he didn’t know that he was going to be playing until you’re already hiding
His heart races as he searches each and every room for you
Whenever something makes a sudden sound, his head whips toward it so fast you swear he could get whiplash
After a while he’ll find you
He always does
He’ll hold you close and say how much fun the game was and how much he loves you
He’ll also whisper that you should never surprise him with hide and seek again lest you never see the light of day again
He does care about you
He’ll do anything for his sweet sweet senpai and girlfriend
Even if that means keeping you away from the world
Head Engineer Mark: He’s Down for Whatever
He doesn’t really play games because he’s too busy
However, if you ask, he could probably take some time off and play a game
Of course, none of you really packed anything so it’ll likely end up being a game like Sticks, Checkers, Chess, Tic-Tac-Toe, anything that you guys can make or have on hand
It’s nice to take a break and have a little fun
It takes his mind off of things
