Wilford talking to Dark
isn’t it so crazy that we’re all going to live forever
Is there a group name between Thomas, Jack, and Mark? There should be one. I’m gonna make one right now. I present to you:
The reason I called them that is because if you mix the first letters of each of their things (Sides, Egos, ALTRs) You get SEA! I also could’ve gone Side, Ego, Ego (See) but I think this one looks better :)
Reblogging for me... For reasons...
Edited the dossier from Mark's Twitter into a base in honour of In Space With Markiplier being tomorrow!! If anyone wants me to edit them into this, please dont hesitate to ask!
P.S. The font can be downloaded from here! (credit to @lady-raziel for finding it!)

Can I ask for your opinion on people comparing sanders sides to iris/Jacksepticeye’s egos when it comes to the wait time and how the stories have been handled? I’ve seen some discussion on people comparing both from that angle, and would be curious to know if you have any thoughts on that.
Btw I understand if you choose to ignore this ask since it does involve criticism stuff. Just would like to get perspective on this from someone who knows both a lot better (I am not super familiar with jse myself but I have been in the tss fandom for a while).
Hope you have a good day regardless!
Thank you, I hope you have a good day as well!
And yeah, I’ll talk about this a bit. As long as this is coming from a view to discuss and think reasonably and rationally and not a view of pure, burning, blind rage just cause. (Also, this is going to be long because I have a lot to say)
Personally, I have no problem with the wait from either creator. I can consume other forms of media for the time being. I enjoy their content greatly, and I dabble in artworks and fanfictions while I wait, but I’m not reliant. And it's not like these people are creating nothing. They still have other stuff for us to enjoy. Like Jack’s gaming content or Thomas’s shorts or videos with Sleep or the star signs or the planets. Hell, Thomas is working on a video for Picani right now!
Also, people don’t realize that these things take a long time. They both have to go to places, set up equipment, record multiple takes, and repeat since both of them deal with multiple characters. And then the whole thing has to be spliced together and edited to make a coherent story. And of course, Thomas is going to take longer because he’s doing more. Yes, Jack has to add glitchy effects to his editing, but Thomas is literally making music for us to consume and enjoy. Do you know how long it takes to make music? That adds more writing, more editing, background music production, and more recording on top of the stuff he already has to do.
And both come from small teams of people with a lot of things to do, so it's going to be expected when things take a while to come out.
The stories, on the other hand, I find a weird thing to compare (if they are being compared, I haven’t seen anything since I blocked the tag.) They are completely different genres after all. Thomas’s series is supposed to be more feel-good mental health help, with a hint of drama. (That, naturally, is gonna take more research.) Jack is making an analog horror. Things are going to be different. Also, Jack is just starting his series! He had to pause production because of COVID and just finished his video with Chase that he wanted to finish in 2019! We shouldn’t compare apples to oranges, but we definitely shouldn’t compare when one of the fruit isn’t even ripe yet.
Lastly, I find it weird to compare these people at all. Why? Because they’re people. It's like not going to college and then your mom going “Your brother went to college, you know.” We shouldn’t compare Thomas to Sean because Thomas isn’t Sean. People go at things at their own pace. People have their own personal struggles to deal with. And these people are people, not a content farm for you to throw your rotten tomatoes at whenever you feel.
And I’m not saying you have to like these people, I just think other factors go into both series that people don’t consider. Like personal struggles or where they live. (Not to get political, but Florida is kinda a shithole right now. Stay safe if you live in that part ❤️)
But yeah, sorry if this was long, these are my feelings on the matter.
(Also, if you want to compare, Markiplier made a movie, so 🤷 /j)
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.
Rosanna Pansino is the real one. her and Sean should spill some tea on Jimmy. this whole facade is getting annoying af
Friendly reminder: People are allowed to be wrong about things?? Especially when they know they’re wrong
Unpopular opinion: I want him to be wrong more often. I think it’s funny 😊
I think the funniest thing about MatPat hate is that his critics believe him more than most of his fans. Like bestie he's the guy that taught me that English class can be about arguing for a completely incorrect interpretation for fun as long as you have evidence. He rarely claims his theory is the absolute truth, remember his catchphrase? "But hey, that's just a theory!"

Janus is always, at least, a little cold even on normal days because of his snake half. That's not the new part. The new part is if he gets too cold, he gets tired. And if he gets too tired, he takes a little nap until he warms up again. While Janus is in his nap-state, Thomas can’t lie. Virgil knows this. Remus kinda knows this. No one else knows this.
Feel free to use this for your stories :3
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.”
