One Of These Snakes Are Not Like The Snothers

I found this at 3am and needless to say, I am very pleased.

It’s your friendly neighborhood Mod Carbz here! I’m going to be live posting throughout Tyler’s stream, so if you can’t see it right now I’ll be hitting all the major points. And also freaking out occasionally. 

It will all be reblogged from this post, so no clutter.

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)

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!

They weren’t lying

If you're reading this...

go write three sentences on your current writing project.

@immabethehero Yeah, sure. These rough sketches will assist

Jameson just wants to put on his puppet shows and I think the sides would enjoy it

Remus just wants to commit terrible atrocities, including (but not limited to) murder. Anti agrees and will gladly help with that

They should switch universes. I think they’d both be happier

Which combo of egos/sides would you love see do a lets play together? And for which game?

That's a good question

(Multi-Fandom, Very long post, you know the drill)

I know these two people already exist in the same universe, but Virgil and Janus. I just think Virgil and Janus would be petty to each other the entire time, which is also why they’d play more competitive games.

I feel like a game I could see them all playing a little are games like Don’t Starve Together, Raft, The Forest or Minecraft. Very versatile, and very fun, and it caters to a lot of different audiences. But because they are very different, some of them hop between the two of them to play with different people.

(Ex. Patton likes to play Minecraft, but will play Don’t Starve to hang out with Chase)

Speaking of Patton and Chase, I wanna see them play a game together. Any game, really. Maybe a game like Break Out or It Takes Two! (On second thought, Maybe not it takes two. May hit a bit close to home for Chase.) I just wanna see them cooperate and help each other :( (This one is a bit self-indulgent)

I feel like Logan is good at First-Person shooters. Like, Scarily good at first-person shooters. The others thought he was cheating at first until they realized he was just that good. So Yancy and Jj convince him to play Rust with them, which ends up just as well as they hoped 👍

There is so much I could’ve said about this prompt that I feel like I didn’t do it justice. If there are certain egos or sides you’d like to know about specifically, let me know and I’ll go a little more in-depth

I know some people are worried about Iron Lung and Mark because of the strike, but you don't need to be. Mark is a union member, doing a union movie, he's not crossing the picket line.

To cross the picket line would mean working with any of the four companies the union is striking against. Mark's movie has no affiliation with Disney, Netflix, Amazon, or Warner Bros. The cast is safe, he's safe, the movie is safe.

Unless, for any odd reason, he pays any of these companies, or gets his movie tangled up in them, then he would be in trouble, but he is not going to do that.

With post production almost done, he's fine, he is out of the bigger struggles, and he has no reason to interact with any of those companies. Most of those companies are so big because they fund people's ideas and projects so that they can actually be made rather than struggling with self funding. Mark and his team never needed them because he's funding the movie, and doing the work to get advertising and marketing finalized, and he's not doing any of that through those companies.

He owns the movie, he paid for the movie, he wrote the movie script, he's the main actor in the movie. Even when he pays for scheduling and buying spots in theaters, he still won't be working with the big four, he'll be competing against them as an independent movie.

He's pro union, he's fine. It's how he did in space, and maybe even heist. At the moment, he's basically functioning as a small creative company, and one that's probably better for his workers, and paying them better than those who are marching with their picket signs. Crossing the line would be actually having to cross those people to get to the big four, and he's not involved with Hollywood, he isn't in that world, he sits beside it.

Now the edge of sleep, that might be a different story. I don't think Mark is allowed to talk about the show already since he hasn't talked about it much so far. He did leak some on stream once, and was kinda stressed about it, but it turned out alright. He doesn't talk about the show at all so he's probably under contract. I don't know how the strike will affect it since it's probably going on streaming (Netflix), and if it's already ready to go and waiting on a time slot then Mark will have to be unaffiliated with the rest of the project. He won't be able to talk about it at all, no promotion of it. If it changes platforms to something else like, HBO, Hulu, or Peacock then maybe it'll be fine (unless those are under any of the four, and I don't honestly know if they are.)

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.)

If you are ever confused about the Markiplier lore, don’t worry ❤️ Logan Sanders would be too
