Obligatory Markiplier Post for this year, yippee
Sketch under the cut
My pens hate me <3
„Thank you for, uh, not giving up on me. Just, thank you.“
Happy Anniversary AISA!
Happy birthday to my story And It Starts Again. It's been one year since I posted this madness, and it has gotten way more attention than I ever thought it would, especially since it was my first fic on AO3!
I appreciate all of those who have read and loved my silly little story.
As for the sequel, it is definitely in the works. It's official name is Again, Those Scars.
Until next time...
BYE!

All the Captain wanted was to build a colony in space.
The Captain never expected to be the center of a multiversal collapse. Nor did they expect the aftermath to be as crushing as it was.
But now everything was over. The warp core has been destroyed, and there's nothing left of the destruction of the universe except the memories that only the Captain has. Everything was back to normal, right?
So... why did it still hurt?
“she is a beauty, isn’t she, captain?”
FUZZYYY !! I have a question to ask you, about Pokémon / Ego crossover stuff?
What mons do you think Engineer would have? I was planning to draw him with a Talonflame initially, but realised that mon's palette and type is more Burt's deal - 💠
i was originally gonna just doodle him with one or two pokemon but i gave in to the urges and gave him a whole team i think he would have. o(-( little rambles as to why he's got these ones in my brain, these are just the ones i could think of
rotom and magnemite are there because. electric. feels about right. solrock and lunatone for space theming, i had to, felt the urge on that one. absol for preventing Workplace Injuries And General Danger (because god knows that'd be helpful and he'd need that). and togedemaru for.. electric steel. just felt right. and also i think he'd love that little golf ball rodent
hello engineer mark enjoyers i bring dyed hair ROUND 2 ! longer hair edition
i had to. i neeeeeded to
THIS IS SO GOOD ❤️❤️❤️
🎶 I’m a mark-y girl, in a mack-y woo-o-orld, life in a space ship, is galactic 🎶 (I’m not a composer, someone else pls write a better one 😭 💀)
If this helps anyone, here's the way I think of it:
It goes who killed Markiplier, wilford motherlovin warfstache, Damien, Markiplier tv, a heist with Markiplier, a date with Markiplier
Because iswm constantly hops between different times, it has existed at all of these moments in history at once. That's why D!Mark asks us on a second date, that's why we visit Yancy in prison and find out he tried out for parole, and that's why we seemingly hop from place to place even before we get to any of those points. All because of the warp crystal.
It's also why Dark talks to us in ahwm, because he can now teleport to wherever he wants at any time he wants. Sorry if this was long but I hope it helped <3
I guess what i find so frustrating is that the markiplier cinematic universe feels like the fnaf lore and it could be easily explained that the reason that it doesn’t matter where ahwm,adwm, and iswm is because none of this is real because the house is putting you into this purgatory of stories to leave you to rot into eternity but thats not canon just some shit i made up
Like none of this makes sense and thats the point of it from a STORY point but from a storyline perspective its confusing as hell
Only difference is that fnaf is supported to be in chronological order and the Mcu is supposed to not have a timeline
You see my dilemma
Markiplier Egos + Detective Abe and Avery(DA)
i cant believe this gonna be my first contribution to the fandom and tumblr.
haii 👋🏼👋🏼
there is reference and clearer version below (:
captainsona / iswm self-insert because i thought it’d be fun :P and it was!
the champagne would be non-alcoholic bcs i don’t/can't actually drink lol, i just thought of that scene right at the start of iswm where they have a glass of champagne and the captain’s supposed to do a speech
i haven’t drawn in so long and it was so good to get back into it!!
have a close up of Chica because she’s the best girl❤️
Iplier Egos x Reader HCs - Pregnancy HCs
Warning: LONG
Darkiplier
Well received
He’s happy to hear that you’re pregnant
Heck, he’s elated (but he won’t show it in front of the other egos cause edgy boss ego gotta keep his image)
More than willing to provide you with everything you need during your nine months
He can give you anything ;)
Isn’t really bothered by weird stuff like your cravings or increased/decrease in affection
Wilford throws you two a gender reveal party during your 5th month (Dark isn’t really one for parties but goes along with it for you)
You two are having a girl!
Dark starts to read books about how to keep boys away from his little girl (for the future)
Occasionally, if you two are cuddling, he’ll place his hands on your swollen belly and smile while nuzzling you lovingly
Is with you throughout the entire pregnancy (or as much as he can be)
Will hold your hand and whisper words of encouragement during labor
“It’s okay, darling. It’s almost over.”
“You said that three hours ago!”
“... I’m trying to help you.”
After an exhausting 16 hours of labor, you’re finally finished and the wails of a baby can be heard throughout the room
He’ll deny it, but Dark shed a few tears while holding his newborn daughter
Her name, decided by the both of you, was Celine Iplier
Wilford
WHAATTTTTTT
REALLY????
Happy mans
Jumping for joy and running around telling everyone he can find that he’s gonna be a dad
You find it adorable
Lots of kisses :3
He doesn’t mind your cravings and 9 out of 10 times he will try any weird concoctions you come up with
Is very impatient when it comes to finding out the sex of the baby
The egos make him wait an entire extra month to find out
Bing and Google work together to throw the gender reveal party
Bing comes up with the idea to make him wait even more by making the inside of the cake blue and pink, the reveal balloons white, and more stuff like that
Wilford looks like he’s going to explode into glitter
Suddenly, Eric nervously comes forward wearing a pink Hawaiian shirt
“C-cong-gratulations.. I-it’s-s a g-girl.”
Chaos ensues
Key word: excitement
Likes to talk about dancing with his little girl when she’s old enough
It brings a smile to your face whenever he has these sweet lil’ gushes of happiness
He was doing an interview when you went into labor
Dr. Iplier began helping you through your labor pains and instructs Google to contact Wilford
Your husband teleports into the room in a panic
“Don’t worry, honey, I’ve gotcha!”
He happily holds his daughter, Willow Warfstache, in his arms quite a few hours afterward
“Wilford? Are you crying?”
“No, I’ve just got something in my eyes.”
“Oh yeah, like what?”
“TEARS!”
Actor
He just stares at you
“What did you just say?”
You repeat the news and he blinks, processing the information
“P-pregnant? Like, we’re going to have a kid?”
You confirm his question, now feeling very nervous
He is looking everywhere but at you, not being able to speak properly
“Y-you.. I.. we.. w-what..”
With a sigh, he turns away and starts to leave
You call after him but he tells you he needs time to think
He doesn’t come to speak to you for a few hours
You’re in the living room of the mansion, a fire crackling in the fireplace while you read a book, trying to take your mind off of things
He walks in and sees you there and, after taking a deep breath, he goes to talk to you
“(Y/n).. darling.”
“I’ve made up my mind, Mark, and I'm telling you now. I’m keeping this baby, whether you want them or not. I don’t care if you won’t want me around, but-”
He sits next to you, kissing you gently on the cheek and you turn to look at him
“That’s the thing, my dear. We’re going to be a family. I’m going to be with you every step of the way. I love you, and I’m going to take care of you and our baby.”
He meant it
He honestly did a pretty good job of it too
Sure he had a few things to gripe about, but he kept his word
You two don’t have a gender reveal party and instead keep to yourselves (for the time being)
Surprise! You’re having a little boy!
Has doctors come to the mansion when you go into labor
He’s starting to tear up and he’s more than happy to hold his son for the first time
“I never thought I could be so happy..”
Five years later, Actor is in a meeting with the other egos when there is a knock at the door
Google goes to answer when it suddenly opens and a little boy runs into the room
“Daddy! Daddy!”
Actor is shocked as (Y/n) quickly comes into the room, looking embarrassed
“S-sorry, we were going to surprise you when the meeting was over. David Iplier, I told you to stay in the hallway.”
Actor ruffles the boy’s hair, “It’s okay. I was definitely surprised.”
Just then they realized how silent the room was until Wilford let out a loud, “YOU HAVE A KID?!”
“Yes I do.” confirmed your husband, getting up and walking to the exit, “The meeting was basically over anyway so I’ll be taking my leave. Buh-bye!”
He took you and your son by the hand and departed, leaving behind a conference room full of shocked and confused looking egos
Dr. Iplier
Is very surprised but takes it well
“You really are full of surprises, aren’t you, (Y/n)?”
Honestly, he’s very excited and tells a few people at the hospital he works at as well as a few other egos
Being a doctor, he knows just what to expect from the pregnancy and, while he can’t always be home to take care of you (he does have a job after all), he does try his best to do what he can
Constantly checking up on you to make sure you feel okay
He’s the one to do the ultrasound on you and you can see his eyes sparkle when he sees his child for the first time
During the fourth month (when you can slightly begin seeing what sex the child is), he happily tells you that you’re having a boy
When one of the egos (probably Wilford but who knows) asks if they know yet, he’ll tell that ego about his son with a smile
Surprise, not surprise, he’s actually the one to deliver his own child
He was at work when an ambulance rushed in with you on a stretcher, obviously in labor
His eyes go wide and he runs to your side, grabbing your hand and giving you a quick kiss on the forehead
“It’ll be okay, (Y/n). Just breathe and get ready to push.”
The labor lasted around ten hours but it was worth it
Dr. Iplier was the first to hold his little boy and he was so incredibly happy
“He’s perfect, (Y/n).. thank you..”
“What do you think his name should be?”
“How about.. Liam? Liam Ipier.”
Very surprised and confused
He wasn’t aware that he could get you pregnant
Yes, he knew he was very much like a human, but not THAT much
He does realize that the timing checks out though and knows that you wouldn’t lie to him about something so important
He’s happy and is sure to tell you that
He is also happy to do what you ask in order to make the pregnancy easier for you
Primary objectives are:
- 1) To answer questions as quickly as possible
- 2) To take care of his wife and future child
- 3) To destroy mankind (he has determined that this objective needs to be put on hold and possibly terminated though that last part’s still up for debate)
Will go with you to every doctor’s appointment and makes sure you feel okay
There are some very difficult parts of the three trimesters specifically when the baby is developing their more human-like parts
These complications were very much obvious during the third ultrasound
“It seems,” said Dr. Iplier in confusion, “that your child has some metal growing on her skin. It’s unlike anything I’ve ever seen before.”
Yup! You and Google are going to be the proud parents of a little cyborg girl
By the way, Google is now 100% sure that the child is his because of this discovery
However, due to the fact that your daughter is part metal, it was pre-determined that she would have to be taken out via a c-section rather than a natural birth
It was just safer that way
When the time came and you went into labor, after a few minutes of waiting in the operating room, some surgeons came and introduced to the world a beautiful baby girl
Google smiled as he held his daughter in his arms for the first time and you watched his reaction from your bed with a smile
She was very small and had small plates of metal that were visible on both of her cheeks and on her upper arms
“Hey Google?”
*ping*
“How does the name ‘Eve’ sound for your daughter”
“I think it’s perfect, my dear.”
Bing
I doubt the baby was planned but he’s happy to be a father anyway
Secretly he’s wondering if he’s actually able to get you pregnant but whatever he has a feeling the kid is his…. somehow..?
Tries his best to provide for you when you need things but probably ends up needing help from the other egos for a few things
Tries to act more mature at the doctor’s office when you go for checkups and ultrasounds
He likes to cuddle you and especially kiss your stomach
“Just givin’ the baby some love. Can’t have them feeling left out.”
Like in Google’s HC, there are some complications and you two find out that the kid is a cyborg
Bing’s happy when you two discover as well that you’re having a little boy
“We can name him Bing Jr. and I can teach him how to skateboard!” He told you excitedly
You secretly doubt you’ll end up calling your son Bing Jr. but decide to let your husband dream before a final decision is made
Well the decision comes faster than you two originally thought because you went into labor three weeks early
Your son is born via a c-section prematurely and while he is put in an incubation chamber in your hospital room, you and Bing are very worried but believe that he’ll be alright
“Hang in there little buddy.” Bing says softly, putting his hand up to the clear wall that contained his son
As he said that, the little boy opened his eyes and began to softly cry
The doctor informed the two of you that he would have asthma, as his lungs weren’t completely developed when he was born, but that he had a very good chance of survival
When you all were finally able to leave about a month later, Bing was the one to come out of the hospital with little Bing Jr. in his arms
Yancy
PANIC
“Y-youse is pregnant?? Oh gosh, what will I tell Mr. Murderslaughter?”
He’s starting to hyperventilate and you hold him tight, calming him down after a few minutes
Yancy knew that he had already gotten special permission in the past to get married to you, his now wife, outside of the prison and in a Church, but this would probably not fly
Don’t get him wrong, as he tells you, he wants the kid
He really wants the kid (he had secretly wanted to be a father for a long time), but he’s worried about how the other prisoners and especially Mr. Murderslaugter would think if they found out
You assure him that everything will be alright and you both nervously go to the warden’s office and tell him the big news
There was a large moment of silence before he orders you both into separate solitary confinement cells
You both spend around 24 hours there before you’re both ordered back to the warden’s office
Mr. Muderslaughter tells you that, while he is a bit upset that you and Yancy did that, realizes that this will be a learning experience for all of them should this happen again, whether it be through you or someone else
So, soon everyone knows the big news and everyone is actually willing to help out
A surprising amount of the other prisoners are fans of babies
Unfortunately, prison food couldn’t quell all of your cravings but you put up with it
Yancy, who was happy to hear all of the encouragement from his fellow inmates, was happy to help you around as your belly grew
He was certainly fascinated when the baby started kicking
“I think they're gonna be either a fighter or a dancer. What’da think, sweetheart?”
Surprisingly enough, your child went over their due date by three days before you went into labor
It was a long and painful twelve hours before your son was born
Yancy couldn’t hold back tears as he held the little boy who slept quietly in his arms
“He’s… so handsome.”
You giggled tiredly, “Yup, just like his father.”
Yancy smiled at you before his looked at his son again
“(Y/n)? Could we maybe name him Clifton?”
“May I ask why? I’m not saying no, m’just curious.”
“It.. Clifton was my dad’s name. I think it suits the lil’ guy.”
You couldn’t help but smile and as you looked at the sleeping child, you realized that he was right
“Clifton.. Yeah I like that name too.”
Illinois
He has very conflicting thoughts on the matter
Yes, he’s happy he’s going to be a dad, but that means he would have to temporarily (if not permanently) give up treasure hunting
“Darling, will this affect how I do my work? I mean, I can’t exactly go exploring with a baby.”
“That’s what you’re worried about?”
You’re a little hurt that his mind is elsewhere in regards to your big news, but honestly you should’ve seen it coming
Illinois looks sad, “With you being pregnant, I can’t just take you with me because something could happen to you and thus the baby.”
You frown sadly but then discuss a compromise with him
He can go treasure hunting by himself until you’re either five or six months pregnant then he has to come home (to LA where the two of you bought a house for when you’re not adventuring) and stay there until I’m well enough to take care of our kid on our own
He was hesitant at first but then took the deal
So yeah, he was gone for the first six months of your pregnancy, but he did make sure to call to make sure that you were okay
You told him unfortunately that you personally might have to retire from treasure hunting to be a stay-at-home mom and while he looked kinda sad about it, agreed that it was a logical decision
On a happier note, you told him that you found out that you two were going to have a daughter
He’s honestly very excited about that (he never knew he could be so happy about something like that)
When he comes back home, he’s pleasantly surprised by the sight of his VERY pregnant wife fast asleep on the living room couch
He can’t help but smile as he goes and gently wakes you up with a soft kiss
He keeps his word and stays with you for the next three months and is there with you when you go into labor
It was a tough 16 hours before your little girl was born and Illinois found himself on the verge of tears as he held his daughter
“She’s so beautiful..”
“So, what do you think her name should be?”
Illinois thought about it for a minute before responding
“Crystal. We met because of one, and now we’re closer because of one.”
You couldn’t help but smile as he passed the little girl to you and you kissed her softly on the forehead
“I like the sound of that.”
Engineer
PANIC
His mind is racing as he stares at you in shock
“I got the Captain pregnant I got the Captain pregnant I got the Captain pregnant”
Yes, he knows the two of you are married, there’s no issue with that, but YOU’RE PREGNANT???
“C-captain.. I-I don’t know what to say.”
“Say you’ll help me raise this kid. They’re yours too.”
“Y-yup! That works!”
It was quite the surprise when it was announced six months later for everyone to hear
You and Mark had been on the low, you personally doing a lot of work at the home you and Mark shared on the colonization planet in order to not stress yourself out
However, someone (Gunther) found out when he came over for a surprise visit to see Mark and ended up seeing you working from a laptop
Gunther was about to say high when the then noticed the casual clothes that clothed your swollen belly
Yeah, Mark told him to not say anything as you two were trying not to make a big deal over it, but he ended up telling everyone
A doctor from the Invincible II had been checking up on you for the past few months and told you both earlier on that you would be having a little boy
When you finally went into labor, a c-section had to be done because the umbilical cord was wrapped around the baby’s neck
Mark was very frightened when he found out but you reassured him that it would be okay, as the doctors knew what they were doing
When you two were presented with your new child, Mark started crying happy tears and he hugged you who held your little boy
“I can’t believe I got so lucky.. To have such a beautiful family..” He whimpered as you kissed away his tears
“Do you want to hold him?”
He did and when he held his son, Daniel Iplier, he smiled shakily and kissed the baby on the forehead
“I love you two… so much..”
Iplier Egos x reader HCs - Their Favorite Non-Video Game
Dark: Chess
I think he would enjoy how complex and mentally challenging it can be
Chess is also considered a relaxation game for some people
So I wonder if maybe he’ll play chess in order to calm himself down when the other egos (or someone/something else) is driving him up a wall
If you play chess and you’re good at it, you’d probably be his favorite opponent
If you don’t know how to play, he’d be happy to teach you
He’s always happy to spend time with his darling
Wilford: Pie Face or Headbands
It depends on his mood
One moment he’ll be taking the risk of being hit with whipped cream, the next he’ll be crying because of memories of “That Night”
He’s haunted by his past and it really does affect what he can and cannot play at times
When he’s not in the mood for Pie Face, he’ll sometimes play a fun little game like Headbands
A guessing game that can become very chaotic very quickly
Life needs a little madness and that sounds like a good way to set it free, especially if it’s with you
Actor Mark: Poker
He has a gambling addiction
Probably
It’s a way to get more money for his “luxurious” lifestyle
If you play with him, trust that he’ll be flaunting his victories in your face
If he loses, he’ll act like it never happened or give a lame excuse as to why he lost
If you don’t play, that’s probably for the best
But at the same time, if he’s playing against other people and you’re with him, he’ll use you as a kind of “good luck charm” instead of a competitor
That’s just his way of bragging to the others that he has such a lovely lady by his side
Yancy: Charades
It kinda matches up with his musical hobby
Since charades is a game of movement and guessing, he’d probably enjoy it
Also, it’s a multiplayer game so he could play with his fellow prisoners
If everyone is busy, you can play with him, just the two of you
He’d figure out how to say “I love you” in body movements without using sign language or actually touching you
He’s really good
Illinois Jones: Any Card Game
He has limited space when he packs for an adventure
If he’s going to take a game to play while he’s out and about, it should NOT take up much room him his bag
That’s why card games are his favorite
They are very entertaining and don’t take up much room
Even a simple deck of playing cards can go a long way
He loves playing with you, his partner and girlfriend
It’s nice to play with someone rather than being stuck in a single player game for a long time
Dr. Iplier: Operation
It’s like practice for his job but it’s a game
Those tiny pieces are especially tricky and he LOVES it
He feels very happy and accomplished when he completes the entire game without getting Cavity Sam’s nose to light up
If you play the game with him, then expect him to guide your hands from behind
Like that romantic yet annoying thing that couples do when one of them is working on something
He gets really close, his whole body pressed up against yours
When you successfully extract a tough object, he’ll whisper praises in your ear
You can feel his warm breath and it sends shivers down your spine every time
If he wants to really make you flustered, he’ll nibble on your ear and kiss your neck
Just a little something he does with you and you alone
Google: Google Feud
I don’t think this counts as a video game
Anyway, he likes to extend his knowledge by playing this game
It helps improve what he could potentially expect one of his “brothers” or you could ask him at any time
His primary objective being what it is
If you decide to play with him, he’ll enjoy seeing your facial reactions when you read off the answers, or seeing your smile when you get something right
He might be a robot and not fully able to understand the concept of love
But he truly enjoys spending time with you, someone who treats him just like a normal person
It’s something that makes him feel human
Bing: Cards Against Humanity
Why does that game just seem to fit his personality (and search engine)?
It’s goofy, funny, and at times inappropriate, just like him
It’s a game he can enjoy with a lot of people
Unfortunately, he can’t play a one-on-one game of CAH with you, his girlfriend, but he’s happy that he can enjoy time with you alongside the other people in his life that he cares about
Yandereplier: Hide and Seek
What’s more romantic than a friendly game of hide and seek?
Especially when he didn’t know that he was going to be playing until you’re already hiding
His heart races as he searches each and every room for you
Whenever something makes a sudden sound, his head whips toward it so fast you swear he could get whiplash
After a while he’ll find you
He always does
He’ll hold you close and say how much fun the game was and how much he loves you
He’ll also whisper that you should never surprise him with hide and seek again lest you never see the light of day again
He does care about you
He’ll do anything for his sweet sweet senpai and girlfriend
Even if that means keeping you away from the world
Head Engineer Mark: He’s Down for Whatever
He doesn’t really play games because he’s too busy
However, if you ask, he could probably take some time off and play a game
Of course, none of you really packed anything so it’ll likely end up being a game like Sticks, Checkers, Chess, Tic-Tac-Toe, anything that you guys can make or have on hand
It’s nice to take a break and have a little fun
It takes his mind off of things
