10 year of Adventures with Markiplier anniversary thingy?????
I checked the date and this coming Valentine’s Day marks 9 years for A Date with Markiplier. Then 2027 will be 10 years.
10 years of everything,
10 years where it all started
So uh… what if we do a special thing?
We take the example of “The Five Giants” Warriors MAP video and have a great big MEP/MAP/PMV Collab? Use the same song because it’s structurally a mashup of greatest hits. Just as how the MAP is a collection of everything that happened, we do the same exact thing. A collection of every Adventure with Markiplier!
Show our love for Markiplier and how far he’s progressed. From the date to the heist to the space, and everything else in between. I imagine a few MEP/map parts on the date then an another few on Who Killed Markiplier ,,, then one part on the Warfstache Automated Interview Automaton for whoever is lucky enough to land that,,, then more parts for bigger adventures like Heist and Space. Every now and then, we’d get a part for Wilford ‘Motherlovin’ Warfstache or the mask cult of 2017? 2018? Bit of a blink or you’ll miss it. But yeah, tie everything together?
Don’t know if it’ll be set in order of release date or chronological —that is a wibbly wobbly nightmare— or according to the lyrics.
I was inspired by “Running Out of Time” by gravitymirage on YT.
EDIT: when you realise 2027 is also the 5 year anniversary for ISWM so great, there’s more weight to this thing
I say MEP/MAP/PMV Collab because I want to include every possible medium and skill set available. In case you don’t know what each of them are, I’ll explain. Definitions below the cut.

All the of them are usually set to a song and a theme or storyboard. A host opens up a video and form/spreadsheet/table for participants to sign up. Then each participant make their part, lasting ~10 seconds. Everything is complete, the host puts it all together for the world to see, with a fancy intro and outro.
A MEP is a multi editor project where editors take clippings or artworks and make an edit, common in anime circles. What sets them apart from AMVs (anime music video) is clever montage theory, the inclusion of fanarts tweening, clippings of characters masked over other clipping, sprinklings of hearts and sparkles, &c. MEPs tend to follow a theme instead of a storyboard, such as “rare pairs” or “toxic yuri”. Examples here and here.
A MAP is a multi animator project, where it’s the same as a MEP but animated. This is common in fandoms where you’d have to create original artworks. MAPs are usually set to a storyboard, with an established beginning, middle, and end. If the host has established rules, such as character designs or canon characters only, then participants follow it. Here be examples.
A PMV collab, in the later 2010s and 2020s, is a collaboration in a picture music video, similar to an AMV (anime music video) where full animation is not mandatory. Participants have a full scale art piece that may or may not be animated. Sometimes, there are animated lyrics set atop a still frame. Due to having some animation, you will find MAP and PMV Collab in the same title. Examples, here ya go.
PMV can also mean Pony Music Video so don’t mix them up. Bit of a YouTube history here: circa later 2000 noughties to early 2010s, PMV means pony. After that, original animation took off so people attached PMV collab to MAP to clarify picture, not pony. That and to avoid the other meaning of MAP that we do not associate with. Another name to look for is anijam, animation jam. PMV collab as a thing is relatively young compared to MAPs and MEPs.
Wildfire is a brand-new Warrior Cats roleplay where you get to build up the Clan from the ground up, and decide how it develops in the future! The storyline is inspired by Ratha’s Creature, Mark Of The Conifer, and The Tygrine Cat.
We use a unique hunting, fighting, foraging, hunger and health system so that the characters are always on their toes. We also have a relatively free-form plot!
THE STORY: Five Clans fall after a terrible winter wipes them out. However, a single cat of theirs survives and travels to a beautiful little valley, bringing her newly-discovered gift of fire with her. It is in this valley that she creates her own Clan out of the local cats - but some do not appreciate what she has made, and would see it destroyed. Will Falconstar’s Clan survive the odds, or will they fall against the forces of nature pitted against them?

I just watched the five giants map and I'm in tears. that is the DEFINITION of a labor of love and it's amazing that they released it on the 15th anniversary of warriors. i remember watching the original animator call 2 and a half years ago, and the excitement I had for it to be completed never dwindled. please watch it if you haven't, it's absolutely incredible.
