Just Thirty Days.

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.

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.

So youtooz dropped some new pins a bit ago but the DJMM pin they'd shown on their tiktok wasn't among them, despite it fitting in with the kinda dangly/movement theme of the set as well as being a SB character.

I hope it wasn't cancelled. Maybe they're saving it for a HW2 wave? I guess since it features the lil' Music Men it's more of a HW2 thing than SB (given DJ and the minis don't interact and aren't seen together in SB but they are in HW2).

Really hope there's a HW2 drop soon that features DJ stuff ToT

It has come to my attention that I haven't drawn sun and moon as chibis yet

I have rectified the situation:

A sketchbook page with doodles of chibi-sized Sun and Moon from Five Nights at Freddy's. Sun is dressed in a light blue rain jacket, a red bow with a bell at his collar, red shorts, and red rainboots with bells illogically attached to the sides. Moon is wearing the same outfit but with a yellow rain jacket instead. They are happily jumping in puddles.

all is right with the world

read all of d.gray-man this last week (fucked me up learning it's still ongoing btw) after avoiding it for like a decade cause i hated the anime ending when i watched it as a kid. found out that i had completely wooshed a good 60% of the themes of the story and thats why i didn't like the ending sdkjfbgkj.

also found out that my taste has not evolved at all because lavi is still my fav after all these years 🧡 lmao

what do you mean elon musk did a nazi salute on live tv at the united states presidential inauguration twice and is now erasing the evidence off the internet by replacing the footage with the crowd cheering instead?

would be a shame if people reblogged this, wouldn’t it?
