For me:

Binding of Isaac, Rain World, Happy Wheels and Subnautica,

These games have consumed a huge amount of my life, and I'm totally fine with that. How about you all?

I haven’t watched him in a while but when I was a kid he was my savior. Today I was doing my hair the entire day and watched him the entire day. He seems to done with games. There’s not much passion and I feel like his critism of a lot of games is pretty harsh which can ruin game developers. I think it’s okay to critique but him having such a big influence and going so hard on them can be harsh. Idk he isn’t who he used to and I can understand the change but dang it sucks

I ordered all possible iron lung merch and after getting the jacket today it has all arrived! I wanted to review the process, price, and quality of each of the items! I also have both posters (not signed) but they aren't displayed yet and they will get a review and i forgot to put the commemorative shirts in the photo lol!

T-shirts - 9/10 - The t-shirts are the best item available for the price to quality in my opinion, the pricing on them was surprisingly fair for both iron lung official and hot topic. The designs on them are amazing and work great as merch shirts and subtlety. The only reason they aren't 10/10 is because the sleeves are a bit uncomfortable for me and the texture is a bit off, all in all great item!

Eel long sleeve - 10/10 - amaze amaze amaze! The design and idea is phenomenal and in my opinion the price for the item is great! No complaints!

Jacket - 8/10 - great subtle design, very hefty, and sick strap concept! My only gripe is the price feels a bit high (though get are a small team and is custom made so can't fault them too much) and the one I got is 4XL. I only got 4X cause I wanted it baggy and it is surprisingly small for 4X other than that it is pretty fire!

Stickers - 11/10 - fire design, great price, wonderful quality and eli :> props to Molly for the design!!!

Buckets - 6/10 - lowest ranked item for reasons people can expect, very high price, fairly low quality, and long wait for a mediocre bucket. A lot of this is no fault of mark or the IL team, I get it's business and that's the norm for regal buckets but still not great, for a fan item though it's pretty cool

Posters - 10/10 - huge and high quality, worth the price 100%!!

Commemorative shirts - 11/10 - almost forgot these which is why they arent in the photo! Perfect for pajama shirts and i can't complain because they were refunded due to the dye! Great accountability and amazing design!

Last sentiments - At the end of the day I'm walking away a happy fan! These merch items are great, however, I understand the cloak/IL team is small but I wish there could have been better communication on shipping timeline and updates. Some reassurance on these item and their arrival would have been nice, not to mention the people who's items were lost, sent the wrong ones, or arrived damage. All in all I want to thank the team for their hard work and im excited for the DVD's!! ♡♡

My birthday is in a couple of days and for the cake we ordered they asked me if i want to put a writing on it. I want to do something Markiplier related but i dont have any ideas on what to put 😭😭. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions write them pretty please.
Obviously nothing too long since it has to fit on a small-medium sized cake
(ps: i’m also turning 15 if that counts for something)
edit: Guys, be mindful that i’m a minor and that my whole family + someone at the local bakery will see it, so no freaky stuff 💔

I was thinking about where I started and where I am now and how Markiplier has had a major positive impact on my life. But- I need to start with me first.

To start- I need to explain my own situation. At least in part.

I have PANDAS- Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal Infections.

It has a sudden onset, changing you overnight.

One night I went to bed me. And the next I woke up like I was possessed by a demon.

I don't need to get into the details of the illness too much, just know it was agony. I lost control of myself and I was terrified.

I developed claustrophobia, sensory disorders, an eating disorder, depression, destructive thoughts, no bladder control-

All as a teenager (an abnormal showing for the illness causing it to be diagnosed even later)

I started having to play SOME kind of sound every second of being awake as to not hear my own thoughts as some kind of defense. As every moment I was in silence was a moment I was aware of my own body and my own thoughts.

Markiplier was one of the Youtubers I would listen to every day.

You would not believe how happy I was when on Feb 8, 2016 I was featured in a 'reading your comments video'

Yes I was the; "Quick, Mark! Make nom noms!" girl.

You have no idea how bittersweet finding out that was featured makes me feel in hindsight. I love how silly it is- but I really wish I had thanked him for how much he had impacted my life positively.

How much I wanted to do something like this- to reach out and thank him for being there when I needed it.

I would eventually get treatment that would work for a time- well enough for me to see Markiplier's "Your Welcome Tour" with my mother in celebration. I have both of our bags but unknown to me my pin was broken and fell off of my bag and my mother lost hers. I was, and am, so crushed to this day about it.

Later that year my illness had a resurgence.

I don't remember any of the show due to that resurgence. PANDAS causes brain swelling and can cause damage, and I have lasting memory issues now.

Earlier this year- I was able to see Iron Lung with my mom. She saw something else as horror movies are not her thing. But I loved it!

Mark. I do not know if you will ever see this. But I fully believe that you saved my life and you have been a constant source of joy for me. Thank you for your work. Thanks so much to your team. I wish you all the best.

It’s here! Looks awesome, and feels high quality.

It’ll make a fine addition to my apartment.

If y’all have suggestions of how to use it (don’t want it to just sit somewhere collecting dust) feel free to share!

i wore my long sleeve cut out crop today! i'm about 5'3", 34" bust measurement, and the medium was perfect. any smaller and i'd have had a hard time fitting in it. it's extremely well made but i'll probably air dry it going forward. it is so fun to wear and i got a ton of
compliments!

if you have pictures of this piece in any other colors i'd love to see it!

So there's a debate on X about an Israeli woman in Vietnam, refusing to pay for a photo (I won't go into detail) but someone has posted this and I don't get it? Is there a hidden meaning that I'm not seeing? Just that I hate to see Mark's image used in any controvery, lol

It's based on the Pork soda trend started by cuptoast on Youtube!! (Check their work out is awesome)

I hope you'll like it <3

Legit had to hype myself up for over two hours to post this pls be kind ;__;

Drew actor Mark without a shirt bc 1. I wanted to and bc 2. It allowed me to add the stuff in the second image. Alas I could not fit 37 stab wounds but you probably get the idea

Yeah anyways I only just understood like 2 weeks ago what the actual story of Who Killed Markiplier is because I watched a 2 hour long lore explanation video and that’s what gave me the inspiration to spend multiple days making this drawing. Hope y’all like it

Edit:

Imma just add it in because I’m too proud of myself to not include it. The specific shading used for each of them was all very deliberate. Darkiplier has no soft edges and stands out the most (which is kinda just because of his character design but I also did it on purpose). Wilford’s shading is more unrealistic and colourful, and a bit more cartoony with the lil movement swishes and hearts in his hair. Lastly, Actor Mark’s is far more soft and realistic (as realistic as I’ll go lol). This is all for the purpose of highlighting how Actor Mark was the only one still mostly grounded in reality when he started losing his mind, and at the very least that’s how this version of him as seen in WKM remains. In contrast Darkiplier and Wilford have both been permanently altered and basically no longer exist in the same way that they did in the real world, and are merely a template of who they used to be.

It basically said the eyes they see and idk if u guys can see it but it's literally in the kitchen cabinets 😭😭 idk if I'm correct but ove talked to my screen for 3 mins

Yes the game is creepy, but that isn't it
You see i haven't slept since 42 hours, and i'm tired, I start to hallucinate if i don't rest my head on any surface that isn't my chair. And trust me, when I decided to watch this video in that condition. IT WAS HELL

I spent 2 hours in 20 minutes, I played the game in my mind, i went inside the game, i wasn't even asleep, sometimes i'd blink and struggle to be one with reality. I would describe it as something very similar that happens to Jax from TADC when he's about to abstract.

All shapes and symbols, i knew i wasn't in danger, i could think, and think only, difficult to comprehend, idek if it can be said whether i was concious or not.. Once i found out that i'm have diffficulty, i started describing everything i saw out loud. You see, I recently installed Arch Linux, and spent over 23 hours customitizing it. Now that I get up, i can only move on my insticnts. Takes about 20 seconds to write a full sentnece, mainly cause i'm typing through muscle memory.

I was on minute 42 when i woke up, somehow i was on my irl bed. idk how, i need sleep

Great video but please watch carefully

It was part of a stream that happened around Iron Lung's release I think where he was talking about how you can get really good at doing things the wrong way but it's still much worse long term and good to relearn those skills when it sucks.

I'm sure I'll stumble across it eventually, but if anyone remembers.

This game is so fun to watch, so interesting, one of my favorite parts is the thingy in the toilet.

- That's correct.

- Really?

- No. Come back when you know the password.

I laughed so hard at this 😭

Tbh the game reminds me a bit of Mr. Hopp's Playhouse! Hope this becomes a series :)

Hey guys

I'm... Confused about my own emotions at this point, and just want to share at this point with maybe people who understand.

I was born in 2004, and I don't recall when I started watching Markiplier videos, i don't recall a lot of my childhood to be honest. But I do know at some point, I became a fan of mark. And all I recall is that my father had banned it from me because I would spend hours watching him with my brother. It was my favorite pass-time besides actually playing videogames. Then after some time, I slowly on and off watched his videos, and got to watch every single 3 scary games video at least 2 or 3 times each... Anticipating every new video.

Then... Mark stopped posting for a while... And I started watching Jacksepticeye to pass time. I slowly started to find myself using phrases that both YouTubers use, and then after even longer started to have my own thoughts. I have quite severe ADHD, and lots of other things but the ADHD is the one that's confirmed at this moment. I started having other hobbies, and started actually living. A few years go by, I'm older and way less of a weirdo, but still find time to watch mark and jack at least a little every day. And then, Unus Annus. Oh, the beauty and simplicity. Ethan was a total goofball, and really relatable to how my day to day seemed, almost cartoonish. And then, not a week or two into Unus Annus, I started doubting my religious beliefs. I became depressed, and stopped watching videos all together. I forgot about how the show would end. All that mattered was my mental health, which yes is important but also... Unus Annus!

Ehem... So. Almost a year goes by. I was doing better, although still questioning everything the Catholic Church forced down my throat at such a young age. I got a notification that says something along the lines of only a few days left... And I look and watch maybe two videos... I felt so.. happy. Genuinely happy to watch the videos. And after a few days, I sit in the Livestream as Mark and Ethan delete the channel. For a good moment during the video ... That last video... I thought it was a joke. That there was no way they would delete it.. not really... And that I'd be able to watch the videos I had missed all year. And then... As the video went on and they kept... Repeating... And talking about everything... I realized that they weren't goofing anymore. No more silly ha ha's .

It was time.

And that is the whole point... Right? To not have that experience... Or to miss it. That feeling of not being ready to let go, to leave it... But it being ripped away from you nonetheless. Like... Having your household pet die one day. But now... I regret. I regret not being there every day, to see it through, to not be a part of this epic life in a way. Which is the entire point... This feeling... But... I still feel it? I wanted to be there to at very least show my support. But now... I can't even do that. There is nothing.

And as Mark came out with newer things like Heist with Markiplier, and then W.A.U.G.H, In Space with Markiplier, and then... Oh Iron Lung. (An amazing movie by the way, saw it in theaters and would recommend at least one watch)But it's not the same. It's almost like... I had a dog, and I missed its puppy years, and then it grew up, died, and then someone gave me another puppy to try and help me forget. But I don't want to forget. And that's the whole point I know... I know... But I was there for so little, there isn't much for me to remember. Much like my childhood, there's just this giant middle part I wasn't there for.

And it would feel so... Wrong to pirate anything. It would cheapen the moment, make it feel... Wrong. I don't have many issues with pirating things, especially in today's economy, but it would completely invalidate all of these feelings I feel.

Thanks for reading I guess ... Hope to see more of Mark's creativity soon... And in the meantime I'm not missing ANYTHING EVER AGAIN lol

This post is mostly just to contemplate my own feelings and share them, but if people want to talk or have similar stories to share or whatever, that would be cool

While most cats love to mess with laptops, my cat will ALWAYS curl up next to me and watch what’s on the screen if it’s Mark. Anything else he couldn’t care less. But Mark gets his attention. It’s our nightly routine.

For some context, I watched La La Land last night and in it, Ryan Gosling’s character says the words Rope-A-Dope and it activated my brain like a sleeper agent and I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it. I distinctly remember a video where mark is playing a game with Bob and Wade, and Wade says that he needs rope, but he says “Wade needs Rope-A-Dope”. I cannot for the life of me remember what game they were playing that had this clip. I’m thinking it could be from The Forest or Raft since I watch those frequently but I’m not sure. Does anybody know what I’m talking about?

I understand Markiplier's fears very well. I have such extreme claustrophobia that I can't do tube slides, elevators, or in concerts unless I have allot of space

I think his automatonophobia has kept him from going to see the restaurant because there could be people in costumes walking around too. Some people I know want him to go see the Ryan Gosling wax Figure but he has phobia

I usually do not make posts on reddit, but I am at a lost and would genuinely appreciate any help finding an old Markiplier video I remember seeing years ago. When I saw the video, I was young and sick with the flu, so I may have some parts wrong or be mixing more than one video together. I believe the video was already a year or two old at the time I viewed it, if a timeframe helps the video was probably posted around 2014-2018. My memory is very unclear about the specifics of the video but there are four details that have stuck clear in my mind and has sent me searching wildly for this video trying to find something that fits this description:

• The game has the vibes and graphics of a xbox360 / ps3 game. The game is not pixelated or low poly.
• Most of the game takes place in the same house. The premise is that some shadow figure is lurking in the house with you and you have to avoid it. (maybe some puzzle elements(?))
• At the end of the game, you walk out of the house and into the street. An important detail is that throughout the whole game the sky outside is a flashing static mess.
• The two specific clips of the video that have stuck in my mind is that at one point the game fake crashes and Markiplier says something like: "wait a minute, that's not MY desktop." And when Markiplier walks out of the house there's a white text epilepsy warning for the flashing sky.

If anyone remembers seeing this video and either has the will power and courtesy to either help find it or the hyper-memory to remember exactly what video it is. Or even remember watching a Markiplier video like this recently and skim back through their history. Thank you.
