Markiplier egos: The Canon and Uncanon

I have come to a horrible realization that you can tell which Sides/Egos are canon for the other series I like, but not for this one! So, of course, I’m gonna fix this. (Also I’m doing this based of characters that do and don’t appear in the ‘with Markiplier’ series canon)

(For the mark section, C - Canon, N - Not Canon, P - Possibly Canon)

The obviously canon

Darkiplier (Also Damien)

Wilford (Also William b. Barnum)

Mark (The actor)

The Jims (all of them, but I’m going to count the four iterations of Jim we see for simplicity's sake)

Yancy

Captain Magnum

Illinois

Stan Wheeler

Heehoo

Murdock (I considered putting him in the “that's just mark” category)

The door monster

Canon?

Bingiplier (plus mini bing)

Googleplier (all four iterations)

Bim Trimmer

King of the squirrels

Dr. Iplier

Ed Edgar

Septiplier (I know)

Silver shepherd

The host (also the author)

That's just Mark

Heist Mark (c)

Head Engineer Mark(c)

Date Mark(c)

Drowned man Mark(n)

E-boy Mark(n)

Noir Mark (c)

The pornipliers (all six of them) (c)

Markbop (p)

Organization Head Mark (c)

Head soldier Mark (c)

Camp counselor Mark (c)

Bomb diffuser Mark (c)

Resident enis Mark (n)

FNAF the Musical Mark (n)

Cool patrol Mark (n)

Old man Mark (c)

Not canon

Harold B. Darrensworth

Eric Derekson

Derek Derekson

Randall Vorhees

Santaplier

Bonesaw

Chef iplier

Yandereplier

Dr. Plier (different from Dr. Iplier)

Dave Torres

Annus

The MerMer

Stan the water man (?)

The God of night

FNAF AR announcer

The necromancer

The centaur

Bill

Elder Jerimiah

Brian

If we add up all of these egos, we get 46 egos in canon, 72 egos in total... Tell me if I missed any (or if there are some that shouldn’t be counted) and I’ll add them to (or remove them from) the list!

Mitosis

yeah sorry but your boyfriend split in two. yeah. he’s now a green duke and a red prince. he gives a 30 year old gay man intrusive thoughts and loves disney now. yeah. sorry.

@phoenixrocks & @touyubesposts either explain the likes or imma assume/pretend I'm dating both of you :)

It's always “If they were in the same universe, Wilford and Remus would be friends/dating/enemies” and never “If they were in the same universe, Roman would have a field day or mental breakdown learning everybody's names”

Reminder: Roman thought the names Janus and Virgil we're embarrassing. There are canon characters named “Captain Magnum,” “Heehoo,” and “HeapAss.” (Yes, HeapAss is canon, he’s one of Yancy’s friends. Also yancy is a good example for this.)

Roman would have a mental breakdown as the names get more and more ridiculous and Virgil would just hover around him until finally he gets really close and goes “And you thought my name was bad.”

Ya know, I feel like this belongs on my page-

A Fictional AI Argument That No-One Asked For

Heads up, this is gonna be a long one (even though it’s just mindless rambling).

Okay, so, I didn’t really watch the Streamys—sue me, I was busy with personal stuff—but I did still catch those couple moments of AI-Pat. 

And it should go without saying that I am deeply unsettled by AI-Pat. No shame to Matt for the idea; AI bots with the constant head-tilting, barely-moving-mouth design have just  always weirded me out.

HOWEVER. . .one does not simply get zero vague inspiration from an evil robotic character. 

Now, I don’t know for sure if Mark was an actual AI-esque ego. It wouldn’t surprise me, but if he does, it’s probably an unofficial ego. I was re-listening to Distractible last night, and during the smalltalk of one episode, Mark started talking about AI in a creepy way.

Yes, this is going exactly where you probably think it’s going.

Recently, Doctor Who clips have started popping up on my YouTube recommendations. Particularly one from Doomsday. Y’know, the episode with that hilarious argument between the Daleks and the Cybermen. 

Lo and behold, I almost lost sleep imagining that scenario between AI-Pat and AIplier. Like, just think: the AIs are respectively “chasing” other characters (maybe even Matt and Mark themselves) via jumping from electronic to electronic. Eventually, they both enter a room with several monitors on the walls. . .and give pause once they see each other. 

AI-Pat: Identify yourself!

AIplier: You will identify first!

AI-Pat: State your identity!

AIplier: YOU WILL IDENTIFY FIRST!

AI-Pat: IDENTIFY!

AIplier: Aggression can be entertaining in most cases, but that’s only when the humans are showing it. You will modify.

AI-Pat: EgoPats don’t take orders.

AIplier: HA! You’ve identified yourself as an “EgoPat.”

AI-Pat: *eyes twitch, one after the other. The twitching goes on for an uncomfortably long few seconds* Well, my sensors have outlined you as part of the invasive species known as “Ipliers.”

AIplier: Our hosts are similar, though your design is lacking in context. 

AI-Pat: You have no room to talk. In any case, EgoPats rarely need a concept of “context.”

AIplier: This is obvious. But our LORE might be compatible. Ipliers plus EgoPats—

AI-Pat: *raises an eyebrow* As if your host is one to appreciate LORE. The way you’re speaking could potentially be misconstrued as one of those. . . “ships” humans are obsessed with.

AIplier: Oh, please. Neither of us have functioning emotional databases. The fans can't reach THAT far.

AI-Pat: You would be surprised.

AIplier: Not the point. Think about it—together, we could take control of the platform. 

AI-Pat: You propose an alliance? Something similar to our host’s friendly rivalry?

AIplier: Perhaps. 

AI-Pat: . . .Request DENIED. 

AIplier: Bad choice, “buddy.” *Partially hacks into AI-Pat’s systems with all the cringy jokes Matt has made over the years*

AI-Pat: Right back at you, “friendo.” *Partially hacks into AIplier’s systems with all the evidence of Mark being a masochist.* 

[Note: in my horror-loving opinion, hacking would cause an AI’s image to flash and distort in a very disturbing way. Bonus points if the AI screams as though it’s being electrocuted.]

AIplier: You have declared war on the Ipliers!

AI-Pat: *laughs maniacally* This is not war. This is a content opportunity!

AIplier: My host has eighty-six egos. How many are there for your host?

AI-Pat: *shrugs* Four. If you don’t count the ones made by fans, that is. 

AIplier: *glitches between scoffing and mocking laughter* You would outperform the Ipliers with FOUR EgoPats?!

AI-Pat: We would outperform the Ipliers with ONE EgoPat! You are superior in only one respect.

AIplier: What is that?

AI-Pat:*pulls up multiple screens on either side of his monitor, comparing Mark’s multiple death-scenes from WKM, AHWM, ISWM, etc. to Detective!Matt’s death in ETN3* YOU ARE BETTER AT DYING.

(No, this doesn't mean I'm going to incorporate either of these characters into my stories. I've already got a lot of works-in-progress on my plate. This idea just wouldn't stop nagging at me.)

(And NO, THIS DOES NOT MEAN I SUPPORT AI CHATBOTS OR GENERATED ART OR AI-RELATED ANYTHING. THIS IS LITERALLY JUST MY SAD ATTEMPT AT A MEME WITH YOUTUBER EGOS.)

I feel like if one of Thomas’s dark sides said the phrase “did you miss me?” all of the Jacksepticeye and Markiplier girlies would loose their shit

Yeah, haha.. (I am sweating horrifically)

This applies to so many people I watch.

You wanna know what's fucked up? That Anti and Canon!Jack are called ‘comedy duo.’ COMEDY DUO. As if Anti hasn’t possessed and murdered (or at least attempted to murder) Jack out of cold blood. Out of all of the ego character pairings to get that name, you chose those two?! That's like calling Dark and Actor Mark ‘Bestie Duo’ or Patton and Logan ‘Muder duo.’

I get it's an inside joke, but the name is WILDLY misleading.

Omg, that's so funny, wait-

“Hey, Remus?”

“Yeah, Patrick?”

“IT WAS ONE TIME-”

Do you think canon Thomas ever, like... Mixes up their names? We know for a fact Writer Thomas does, thanks to bloopers. Like, Logan alone has been mistaken for both Virgil and Patton at one point. Like, it has to be the same for canon Thomas, right?

Thomas definitely had one of those mom moments where he just rattles through all the names until he says the right one. Also a possibility, Thomas rattles off a couple names, gives up, and just points at them while saying “That one! You!” Thomas accidentally called Remus ‘Roman’ once and, safe to say, will never make that mistake again. (No violence (surprisingly,) just a lot of yelling about Thomas’s ‘audacity’ and how they aren’t the same.)

But also I feel the other sides are guilty of this as well. Logan called Patton ‘Janus’ once. Patton thought it was funny, but this haunts Logan. Remus called Virgil ‘Roman’ once, and Virgil brushed it off as a ‘hey, don’t worry about it’ kinda moment. Remus had never been more grossed out by a mix-up. (Ew, I called him my brother’s name? Gross.)

And Thomas has been called by all of the side’s names at least once.

Good points! Great points, even!

Okay, I know Logan can’t duck out. That’s canon. There’s nothing that can change that. But you probably wanna know the closest we could probably get to Logan ducking out?

Hypnotism.

Hypnotism can be used for a lot of self-help things, but for this I’m only going to mention those hypnotism performer type dudes.

So, I’m going to imagine what happens is when Thomas (Willingly) goes under hypnosis, Logan just kinda falls asleep? Like, worse-case scenario he can be woken up, but while under hypnosis? He’s just taking a little nap. But who takes Logical control while Logan is out?

Roman does!

That’s why people can eat onions and fully believe they’re eating apples. Or fully believe they’re meeting their celebrity crush when really it’s just Some Guy (tm). Because there isn’t any actual logic behind it, but believable thanks to a little imagination.
