happy new year!
you haven't changed, you just think you have
If Scar does end up making Scarland a single-player survival world, I would like to propose that that is the same Scar who won Secret life and then went on to create his perfect place.
Perhaps, eventually, Scar began searching for a way to regain regeneration now that he was all alone. Perhaps, now that there wasn't that much left to watch or secrets to keep (you can't keep a secret when you are by yourself) the watchers took pity on him and gave him that last semblance of compassion, or perhaps he began delving into magic to overcome the Watchers.
If Scar decides to make it in creative mode, we can say that that is him becoming a watcher himself and using his powers to create his dream build.
And if he gets some guests, we can always assume they are either watchers or universal travellers passing by Scarland and making things easier for SL!Scar who is still trapped in this world.

Here is your daily reminder that you are, in fact, as cool as you think you are 💜
It’s a little bit crazy that it’s specifically because of Mark that The Edge of Sleep was such a hard sell (per his comment here).
Apparently no one wanted to touch it, because of Mark. Because of the stereotype that Youtubers and internet creators labor under. The only reason we have it now is that it got self-published via Prime. There was no marketing for so long because no one owns it. No one was willing to take it on.
And it’s extra crazy that Mark is taking full responsibility for this and trying to overturn that exact stereotype. Not just for the many folks involved with The Edge of Sleep, not just to see Iron Lung finally get pushed through to us, but for every Youtuber, every online creator, and everyone who comes after.
Revolutions don’t happen in a day, or even in a month. But Mark asked us for one small, important goal — to start a wildfire for just thirty days.
Can you imagine how much work that Mark has been doing behind the scenes, for years? For TEOS, for Iron Lung, and before that, for In Space with Markiplier, for projects we may not even be aware of? To legitimize his own incredible work? Being constantly brushed off because he started from the bottom and built his talent with his own two hands?
Imagine how many more creators are waiting in the wings with the most incredible things, constantly told no because they’re not considered a “real” artist.
The Edge of Sleep matters so much, to so many people. It’s not the end, either. It’s the beginning of a very long uphill journey. It’s not going to be easy. It’s going to take a very long time and a lot of perseverance to see anything come out of this.
But for right now? It’s just thirty days.
Don’t lose sight of why it matters.
I want you to remember:
The fascists hate you too and they just will pretend otherwise until after they've killed the rest of us, before they turn on you.
