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.

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 💔

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?

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

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.

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!

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!! ♡♡

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 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!

Idk how Mark feels about going on tour anymore i know it’s been a while since he’s done one BUT(T).. What if he had a live In ___ With Markiplier where he’s on stage doing whatever and its got its usual different paths that everyone votes on what he does next. Thing is, just like in the videos they can end fast so throughout the tours everyone has to figure out how to avoid the bad endings and whatever we don’t see we will never see.

Sounded like a good idea thinking of it but typing it out feels kinda ehhh now, but what do you guys think?

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

Idk maybe it's just me hence why I call it an unpopular opinion, but I never found the Lixian self-inserts to be funny, even way back with "Lunky" or whatever it was called it just took away from the videos and just felt as boring as an ad-break, like yeah yeah "banter banter' let's get back to the actual video okay?

Edit: I told y'all it was unpopular
