You know, something I've noticed about all of this is how the more that the universe broke, the more personality we see in Y/N (who I'm also 100% sure is the DA)
Like, in A Date With Markiplier, there's barely any instances of Y/N showing any personality, which makes sense considering that nothing is falling apart in ADWM.
In A Heist With Markiplier, things and timelines start to fall apart and we get some instances of Y/N showing bits of personality, but not much.
Mark could've had Y/N go along with heist! Mark's "1, 2, 3,security!" but he didn't, instead, we see Y/N being a lil impatient
Again, Y/N didn't need to do a tumbs up before Ed killed them, this scene would've played the same way without the tumbs up, and yet, they still did a tumbs up
This shot didn't need to be here either, we already know that Y/N's been bit and the vid would've been the same without this shot. Y/N looking at their bite wound after Heist! Mark says that he knows that Y/N wouldn't betray his undying trust means that Y/N feels guilty for lying to him.
Instead of just Mark throwing things at the science lady, it's also Y/N throwing things.
You know, Y/N could've just shook their head in this scene. But no, they decided to be a little shit and flip Yancy off
And finally, In Space With Markiplier, everything is going absolutely wrong in every way: the timeline's collapsing, everyone is dying, Y/N is getting blamed for everything, etc. But, we also get even more instances of Y/N acting like a separate character than us. Heck, these instances happen in almost every ISWM video.
Y/N didn’t need to greet everyone back, but they did, they even finger gunned at some of them along the way
Y/N is like “My champagne :(”
Y/N panicking when the ship is asking for an update while the wormhole opens
Y/N quickly stopping Mark from dying by holding his hand so he wouldn’t fly into space
Y/N not caring about explaining anything to Mark and just throwing the fire extinguisher at him instead of handing it to him.
Y/N thinking that Mark died and paying respects to him.
Y/N preparing Mark for fixing the coolant leak. They didn’t need to do this, but they did, they even gave him a lil lunchbox!
Mark could’ve had Y/N just stand there waiting, but he didn’t do that. Inseatd, we have Y/N thinking Space! Mark is dead once again and writing a whole ass letter to Chica.
Y/N giving a thumbs up to Mark. Again, not needed, but is still here.
Could’ve just had Y/N waiting still, but instead, they pull a pocket watch and look at the time.
Again, not needed, but still included. Y/N getting cold and taking a jacket.
Y/N has tried fixing it from the outside 3 times and not once did this dumbass think of attaching an oxygen tank to their suit and helmet.
After the loop reset in Go Towards The Light, Y/N kills themselves, maybe it’s test and see if the loop is really there, maybe it’s out of anger, either way, they still do it.
Both choices are basically the same and show what Y/N really wanted to do, and that’s to Jump In/CANNON BALL into the wormhole. So yeah, Y/N’s a bit of a dumbass.
Y/N likes to carry a lot of weapons.
Y/N getting worried about Mark and reaching out to him
Y/N reaching out to Wil and acting like a sad puppy when he tells them to go back to the warp core.
THE FUCKING ENTIRITY OF PLAN K! This entire video just shows us how chaotic Y/N can be! A lot of us didn’t know what plan K even was! It could’ve been anything, and yet, it was this. This was Y/N’s idea and choice on how to escape the narrator.
There’s more of these moments, but I don’t exactly have the time on my hands to screenshot all of them, so y’all gonna have to watch ISWM if you wanna see them all.
I believe that the reason that these moments have been happening more often is because the more the universe breaks, the more Actor loses control over everything, including Y/N.
He's spending most of his power on trying to keep his story from falling apart, which is why Y/N has started to act like their own person instead of a blank slate.
A series base on this post. Basically a string of fate (Or red string) Soulmate AU where Marc can control the strings.

Marc has always loved the color red. It meant many things to him. The meaning shifted as he did. First, it was courage, then it was love, then anger, his power, and eventually passion.
His love for red has always been a thing so, When he finally got his red string he was elated. He was bursting with joy and couldn't wait to meet his soulmate. He had always imagined his soulmate being his fan sitting in the crowd, the string would pull them together on stage and everyone would see their love.
When he did finally meet his soulmate it was a lot less dramatic than he imagined, but as he looked into Celine's eyes he didn’t care. All he cared about was her.
He did everything for Celine, all he had ever wanted was her happiness. To say he was heartbroken when the string started to fray is an understatement. He cried for days on end and decided he would do everything in his power to fix his string with Celine.
That never did end up happening. He tried so hard, and he couldn't fix it. When Celine told him about how her string with him had frayed but was repaired with the colonel, it broke him.
The string was cut and so was his compassion. He had screamed at her to leave and never come back. The red from the gone string was replaced by red hot anger in his soul, he had given everything to her, and he tried everything to make her happy. All of that for her to break his heart and trust. He didn’t know if he was angry about the cheating itself, or about how long it has been going on.
After that day, no one saw Marc for very long. His friends and family reached out and tried to help him but the red anger in his heart was too much for him. He couldn’t trust anyone and he had learned that the hard way.
After about 2 years, his sadness lessened and his anger grew. She would hurt other people, he knew it. How cruel does someone have to be to cheat on them with their best friend? How could his best friend do this to him? He had so much pain and anger, they deserved to experience it too.
His mental health declined heavily, and very fast. This didn’t help when he started to look into the mystical arts. He couldn't bring himself to hurt Celine, a small part of him still loved her. No matter what she did to him he wouldn't ever lay a finger on her, the same could be said about the colonel. His pain wasn’t physical, no. It was mental, and he had no issue with hurting them that way.
He planned the night he died for months, and somehow it didn’t go according to plan. Though Marc was a smart man, he made it work for him and he came out on top.
That night Marc had realized something, he could now control the string of fate. The little red string that had caused him to break, was now his to control. He had so much power now, he could bend fate and that brought him joy. With a simple swipe of his hands, he could get whatever he wanted. Though the red string never came back on its own, it was always created by Marc.
After a while this got tiring. He was so tired, he had all the power and money he could want but that was not going to fix his broken heart. He tried many things, most were unhealthy. Then one day he got fed up and decided he was going to make himself happy. No one else could, so he took a leap of faith and started to go to therapy.
His first therapy session was about 3 years ago and while he wasn't healed totally; he was much healthier now. He had worked his way back into acting and was in bigger roles now.
He had rediscovered his love for acting. It was a coping mechanism for him and helped him stop abusing his power. On occasion he would still warp the string of fate, sometimes for selfish reasons, sometimes not. That's what led him to now.
He was on set for the movie he was starring in. It was a classic action and romance, it was a fun script made by an amazing team of people. So when he had heard they were going to replace the young and upcoming director he refused. With a few quick swipes of his hands and a few magic words, the director not only was allowed to stay but had also been greenlighted for another movie. It was worth it to see the young director happy.
He sat in his chair, a custom-made one he brought onto sets with him. With red velvet cushions and fancy carved wood, it screamed Marc.
As he sat in the chair he inspected the red string attached to his thumb, he always left the pinky open in case he ever got another soulmate. He let out a sigh and swiped his hand above it.
A red glow untied the string from his hand, and the string moved from him, back to the person's original soulmate.
He will manipulate people, but he refuses to cut the string. He wouldn't let anyone he cares about go through the same pain as him. The only time he had to guarantee the safety of someone.
He groaned and leaned against his chair, face against his hand. He was waiting in his room until they needed him on set. It helped recharge his social battery, which he had learned would help him feel less overwhelmed.
He wore his costume, a simple white dress shirt, rolled to his sleeves, and gray dress pants. The only difference was the hair clip in his hair keeping it from moving. The stylist worked so hard on his hair and he would be damned if he made them do that again, plus he hated having his hair and makeup down.
He closed his eyes letting himself have a moment of peace and rest before he felt a disturbance around him. His eyes shot open and found nothing, it was a disturbance in the mystic world. He shook his head, not his problem.
Well, it wasn't his problem until he felt something wrap around his finger, his face contorted with shock as he saw a red string tie itself around his pinky and shoot out of the room.
He held up his hand and looked at it. It couldn't be real could it, maybe he created it by accident? He waved a hand to try and untie it and it didn’t work.
He stood from his chair, as he felt something he hadn't felt in years.
He felt hopeful and scared. He wanted to love again and always yearned for it but couldn't stand the idea of another heartbreak. He stood there debating what he should do.
As if fate was encouraging him, the string pulled, taught, and glowed. His new soulmate was close. His heart raced in his chest as he quickly left the room.
He was scared of getting hurt again, but he had to know who. Who could love him after everything he's done and been through? Fate gave him another chance and he’d rather die again than risk losing it.
As he walked down the hall of the studio people looked at him confused, he didn't care, not now. He was about to leave the specific building they were filming in, when he felt a hand stop him, the director.
“Marc, where are you going? It's about time for your scene.” The director asked confused, Marc took a breath,
“My string of fate is back.” The director gasped with a surprised face, “My soulmate is near, I'm sorry I promise I’ll be-” the director cut him off.
“What are you still doing here? Go! We can film it another day.” the director said, pushing him out of the door. Marc smiled and thanked the director before leaving, following the string.
He slowly sped up until he was sprinting in the direction of the string, he wouldn't lose them, not when they were so close.
After turning the corner around a building he stopped suddenly and his breath got caught in his throat. Around a group of studio officials and others was his soulmate. You.
You stood holding some kind of book in your hand and looking like you were trying to say something. You were so focused on the conversation you didn't notice the string go taught. Marc sped walk over to you and as he grew closer he heard the people talking.
“I know in the source material they aren't in a relationship, but the audience would love that.” One person said you tried to interject. You were cut off, “Yes I agree it would be a great hook. “ You bite your lip.
You're an author of a very famous book series and the studio wanted to turn it into a movie. They asked for you to be there and overwatch its production. Not that it mattered, they wouldn't listen to you. The director was full of himself, and the writers and producers ignored you completely. You were about ready to call it quits. You spent so much time, money, and effort into these books and they were going to make so many readers unhappy if they kept on.
“Actually, the whole point is that they're not-” You were cut off.
“I know you're the author, but I think it's best we do this. We are professionals after all. “ The director said to you, your blood boiled. How dare they.
As Marc walked up to you he heard the conversation and he grew angry. He knew this director and they were notorious for being a huge bag of dicks. So as he finally arrived behind you, he stepped to your side, so that he wasn't completely behind you and said
“Yeah, you're a professional douche bag. I honestly don't even know why the studio hasn’t fired you yet. I know plenty of better directors that would fill your spot very nicely. “ He spoke,
You turned to him and froze, whoever this guy was he was beautiful and he was standing up for you. You felt your heart race and cheeks grow hot. The man placed his hand softly on your back,
“I will personally talk to the head of the studio and get you another project. You don’t deserve to be working with someone so talented. “ He finished, directing you away from the group. You knew you should probably say something, but you were so enchanted by this mysterious man it slipped from your mind. He smiled down at you and you felt a tug on your pinky. You looked down and saw the red string attached to this man.
Awhile ago @leobashi got an ask about Celine in the Spy Dad Au and I got some ideas. Marc constantly flirted with her and she always banters back, not taking it seriously. When Marc was put on the kill list she was shocked and demanded an explanation from her baby brother. Dark was forced to tell her and she was shocked. I also think she would be a workaholic and often takes missions out of the countries.
A Date With [Someone Besides Mark]. I don’t know if it has ever been said, but isn’t Mark in A Heist/Date with Markipler Actor Mark and it’s just all a story he made? Here’s how it can basically go (Please forgive me. I’m terrible at explaining things.):
It starts off kinda like A Date with Markipler. It seems pretty normal at first. But, of course, Actor Mark gets more and more jealous since he’s not the main character. He starts out by appearing in the background like an extra. Then he’s a very minor character. But, he keeps appearing more and more often as you go along, trying to force his way into the spotlight. He also seems to become more agitated as his attempts fail. Maybe there’s a point where he gets rid of the main character for a while just for them to come back. Then there’s a moment when you realize, Mark’s the bad guy. The Markiplier from the previous date and heist is actually the bad guy. If the viewer is the same one from WKM, maybe they can remember what happened in the house. With Mark’s true nature revealed, maybe you would need a little help from Dark (just so we can get a cameo from him.) Oh, and your date is freaking out the entire time and probably ends up dumping you at the end.
