I try to be funny AND spooky

[nervousdroog]

I hate coloring I hate rendering I hate trying to ‘finish’ a piece from here on out its strictly black and white sketches

[sapphling]

the more time you spend in active recovery from any given self destructive behavior or addiction the more you understand the common conception of the "relapse" as defined by a broken "streak" to be, like, so bad for one's own well-being that it would be funny if it weren't resulting in just a lot of misery and death

I told my girlfriend to think of quitting vaping as training her endurance by seeing how long she can run before she gets tired, then doing it again and hoping to go further next time. She said it really helped her.

THE ADDAMS FAMILY (1991), dir Barry Sonnenfeld

Did you know that AO3 allows fics with homicide in them? There’s a whole tag for Major Character Death and even more tags so you can find exactly what kind of character death you want to read. 

Don’t they know that murder is illegal? You just know there are a bunch of homicidal maniacs out there who love to read those stories. They write them, too, in between killing people. 

Anyone can read the stories on AO3! Kids can read them! They’re getting exposed to stabbing, poisoning, even guns! And they’re writing the heroes doing the killing, too! That’s basically telling kids it’s okay to go out and murder their families. It’s promoting violence and encouraging homicide and if we don’t do something about it soon, you’ll be murdered next!

Simon iron lung is so dog coded to me I can't help it. Yeah the Laika parallels yeah the David Lynches angry dog parallels the "I was a scared dog" & "I don't know why I bite" quotes

But also so working dog coded bc all he does is get told to attack and told to go fetch

you're telling me this guy's a bouncer? huh... and what does he bounce on, if you don't mind me asking...?

[ctrl-shift-alt-9]

Just had a thought. I don't have the time to go get visual examples to back this up, so if anyone could investigate, that would be superb. /gen

The first major time we see Shadowman, he's moving towards the back of the SM-13, moving to hide against the terminal wall, away from Simon, who is standing near the front console.

The second major instance of this, the Shadowman is standing near the front console, and Simon is moving to hide against the terminal wall.

Now, I'm just going off of memory here, because I'm neck-deep in another analysis right now, but could it be possible that they quite literally swapped places in these mirroring scenes?

I know that we got some insight on the Shadowman, how it's literally "Simon's shadow" and him seeing himself, how it was almost a cut-concept entirely, but the "Simon's shadow" part tipped me off that this thing could quite literally be copying him in some instances, if not all of them.

What do you guys think?

[dessathealien]

My personal theory that I need to be able to rewatch and check: when Simon sees the Shadowman, he's literally seeing himself in different moments of space time, as he was acting, but as the Red Eyed God planned for him. It's time-space being slightly warped.

This also applies to the tape being pulled from the button when he's in the crawlspace: if I remember, there is a moment later that he does pull it off angrily.

Right now I will ask the blogger (forgot the url) that broke down the coordinates to see if we can check Simon's coordinates in these exact moments: my theory is that these moments happen when Simon is crossing over points he already passed or will futurely pass, allowing time-space to cross.

Granted, I only imagined all this because I theorize that the Light is a White Hole (and a bts concept of the Light/Portal looking like a black hole but white makes me go insane), but still, I do think there's time-space shenanigans happening

[ctrl-shift-alt-9]

SO YOU ARE TELLING ME.

THAT THE RED-EYED GOD WAS JUST LIKE, "yo, Simon, check this shit out. Check out what I can mold you into. We could totally match! We could be twinning!!!" /j

This falls in line pretty heavily with this concept from earlier... maybe the Shadowman was just another "hello" from the across void.

If we do actually uncover the Shadowman being tied to Simon's path at the bottom of the ocean, and that it appears when his full journey converges, I'm going to lose my mind.

Because that means Markiplier is just doing THIS SHIT at us:

[dessathealien]

As far as @water-activated-light was able to check (thanks again 🙏), the coordinates don't align in any way 😔

(Overall I do maintain 'Simon seeing the Shadowman is him seeing himself as he acted before or will act in space-time warped', because the movements align almost perfectly as far as I remember)

[ctrl-shift-alt-9]

Understood, thanks for checking that out!!!

[negative-pressure-ventilator]

Peer reviewing @water-activated-light's post here and what @dessathealien says above: The coordinates may actually be a lot closer than initially thought!

Repeating what I said here:

The SM-13's coordinates are visible onscreen at 00:13:01 when the proximity alert first goes off, placing it at 389.98, 220.63. Directly after at 00:13:32 and 00:13:50 the SM-13 is struck by the Eel, which throws it about 75 meters. The coordinates are visible onscreen again at 00:13:58 when the SM-13's tether is pulled taut: 461.36, 249.90.

The SM-13 is pulled up, then dropped again at 00:22:28. The coordinates aren't visible at the first sighting (00:25:31) as the SM-13 is still descending, but presumably it touched down within a few meters of it's last location. The coordinates at the second sighting (01:26:23) are 462.15, 241.27 (seen clearly at 01:30:02).

Which means there was only about 8 meters between where the SM-13 was first pulled up and where Simon saw his Shadow for the second time.

Additionally, I timed out the scenes:

First Sighting

Simon turns towards the stern of the ship and sees his Shadow at 00:25:31

Simon's Shadow sidesteps behind the portside partition wall at 00:25:37

Simon gets up from the pilot's chair at 00:25:42

Simon reaches for a weapon, making a small rustling sound at 00:25:44

Simon sees his Shadow for about six seconds— another five for Simon to get up, another two before the rustling sound

Second Sighting

Simon sees his Shadow sitting at the controls at 01:26:23

Simon's Shadow turns towards the stern and sees Simon at 01:26:24

Simon sidesteps behind the portside partition wall at 01:26:30

A faint creak from the pilot's chair is heard at 01:26:35

Small rustling sound is heard at 01:26:38

Simon is seen by his Shadow for about six seconds— another five for his Shadow to get up from the pilot's chair, another two-ish before the rustling sound

Yeah this is some time bending hallucination bullshit

YOOOOOOO
