Happy Visitation Day everyone!

It do be like that sometimes

I feel this

When I tell you I am falling back down the "MatPat ego rabbit hole" again, I mean 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.)

Been working hard and, simultaneously, hardly working. But I have a question for all of you;

If it's posted all at once, it may be more confusing, but all of the info will be there. It also may take longer

If it's posted in parts, it will be easier to digest but harder to understand overall in the long run. It time will be shorter, but will come out in parts with time in between

Me, looking at every YouTube series: These bitches are connected, I know it

Me when I get into three:

Me when I get into a fandom where a bunch of characters are played by the same person

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

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

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!

If this helps anyone, here's the way I think of it:

It goes who killed Markiplier, wilford motherlovin warfstache, Damien, Markiplier tv, a heist with Markiplier, a date with Markiplier

Because iswm constantly hops between different times, it has existed at all of these moments in history at once. That's why D!Mark asks us on a second date, that's why we visit Yancy in prison and find out he tried out for parole, and that's why we seemingly hop from place to place even before we get to any of those points. All because of the warp crystal.

It's also why Dark talks to us in ahwm, because he can now teleport to wherever he wants at any time he wants. Sorry if this was long but I hope it helped <3

I guess what i find so frustrating is that the markiplier cinematic universe feels like the fnaf lore and it could be easily explained that the reason that it doesn’t matter where ahwm,adwm, and iswm is because none of this is real because the house is putting you into this purgatory of stories to leave you to rot into eternity but thats not canon just some shit i made up

Like none of this makes sense and thats the point of it from a STORY point but from a storyline perspective its confusing as hell

Only difference is that fnaf is supported to be in chronological order and the Mcu is supposed to not have a timeline

You see my dilemma

after watching the stream with mark and amy they didnt even say anything about this part

I actually thought that I found something smh

SPOILERS FOR A HEIST WITH MARKIPLIER

Okay so after finishing ending 31 I went back to do the other endings and to search for the codes that Dark told us about and at the part were mark and y/n were synchronizing the watches after he says "three!" And starts talking about the plan, on the left side I saw something white being reflected on the glass

And who wears white in AHWM?

He was watching us from the beginning

Guys...............

Impersonator- AHWM Theory

So as you know there are things that bother me about the heist and one of them was the Ignorance is Bliss ending with the password and we’re like “wow! Amazing answers solved!” but the thing is we were SUPPOSED to find it! Which means there are other answers here, something we’re missing. And that is my mission with these theories.

So after scouring AHWM over the past what is it? 4 days now I have come to a conclusive theory that i think answers a few things. And the theory is actually pretty off the rails. My thought that sparked was that this guy

Isn’t Dark, 

it’s Markiplier.

Now I bet your thinking that’s a pretty off the rails theory you got going there but something that I think helps back it up is the Secret ending.

To get there you have to find the Ignorance Is Bliss ending (Sneaky, Dark tunnel, Don’t split, Don’t Split, Split) where he tells you he’s hidden codes throughout the heist for you to find (look under the question mark where you’ll see 7 and so on) where you go back through all the endings and come up with this

Lh3EeEeR9z59YWcUB2b7ViHJ8ALQ637

Once you go back to the Ignorance is Bliss ending you see a link to a site where you have to put in a password. Put in the letters and numbers you found and it works leading you to the bloopers, bts, photos and merch.

Now click on the bloopers video and for the first thirty-ish seconds you find Dark putting on eyeliner and practicing lines in the mirror?

But this is some funny gag right? 

That’s what I thought to, until I went through the Split Up video again where things started to not really add up for me.

For one thing, I think we all noticed the absence of the blue while watching and for some reason while watching again the phrase “Ignorance is Bliss” came to mind. And why the ending would be called that anyway?

For those who for some reason don’t know the meaning of the phrase is “if you do not know about something, you do not worry about it.” and to me I think this is exactly what we did during this ending.

We didn’t really question the blue, the wardens desk, the pictures. It kind of just went over our heads and now that I think about it- isn’t this ending a little TOO fanservice? White suit, seeing “Dark” in general, callbacks to WKM. these are things that the fandom has been talking about for a while but having it in? This just doesn’t seem right.

Also some of the lines are a little out of character, aren’t they? At least to me they are. So I went back to the original source ADWM and Darks lines

And I couldn’t have been more Right.

Something that I questioned during my first theory of taking apart those lines was how has Mark mocked Dark so bad that would have him so pissed off? and This. This HAS to be it.  

Mark uses this ending to mock him, to make fun of him even though this isn’t how Dark would actually behave. Because if you REALLY think about it would Dark actually say “or maybe you just missed my pretty face?” (cause if we’re talking canon timeline we haven’t seen Dark since he trapped us in the mirror so we wouldn’t have anything TO miss. Not to mention that Dark was the one to tell us how much he missed us during our date)

Because something that was stated  in Damien was that Markiplier wanted to be the hero of his own story and that’s why he morphed Damien into the villain. Because not only does every hero need a tragic backstory (more on that in a bit) but they also need a villain to beat.

(‘m gonna pause because something just clicked while writing this you know when you click the link in the IiB ending and it takes you to the site? Well the password has a picture of the box and put in the password opens the box and shows you the “truth” the secret ending BOOM!)

Also practicing lines of how your enemy would possibly speak is something someone trying to create their own story would do. (like making fanfiction about yourself in a way…)

Anyways… one of the other things that didn’t really add up is when Dark says “I’ve been waiting a long time to see you again” and if he really had this short chat with us before the date (Long story short i believed for a bit that the heist was before the date I just wasn’t able to get a theory out fast enough and it looks like the True Ending supports this) then WHY would he A. say this and B. get mad about Mark having “this adventure” with you? The date.

Also doesn’t some of the glitches during this ending feel off? like some kind of imperfection of trying to copy the actual thing? At least, to me that’s what it looks like. 

has anyone made a dinkleberg meme but with “MACK” i feel like it would fit nicely.
