#probably overanalyzing

i find interesting that Tiff said “and you, do you want children?” as if she had talked about wanting children, when she didn’t. because now it’s not whether she wants a child or not (in the future), she already has one, even if the baby is away.

Follow up post about the post Mark deleted

Part one: it is definitely deleted from Mark's blog (although, thanks to the magic of Tumblr, is never truly gone):

Part two: Before he deleted it, he crossed out all the words and added "Ignore this":

If what people are theorizing is what Mark is planning, that the egos (specifically Dark and Warfstache, although most talk about Darkiplier and don't consider maybe Warfstache is a part of this) are trying to take over and take away the fan base, then of course they wouldn't want us to WAKE UP. They would want us to stay under their spell, to cooperate with their commands/demands. Remember, Mark has said before that Dark is jealous of Mark and the good he's done and accolades he has received. Why wouldn't he want to take over?

And the fact that the post spelled out "NEVER"? Maybe that is Real Mark talking to whoever is trying to take over that he'll never give them the community, that he'll fight them. And then they manage to suppress him again, hence the "Ignore this" and deleting the post. They wouldn't want us to be inspired to leave. They want us to stay.

I'm thinking Dark would have written the "Ignore this" on the post, where Warfstache may be responsible for posts with a lot of "ha"s. Unless, of course, those posts are "Mark" going "mad" from Darkiplier trying to take over...

But anywho. Mark'll be home soon, and hopefully he'll stop this nonsense and get a video out to finally give us a conclusion to this. I wonder how heavily it would be tied to the van videos...

Side note:

I have to wonder if this would have happened if an audience member hadn't asked the question about if Mark was going to do more videos with Warfstache and Darkiplier, or if it was just a really convenient tie-in that happened to coincide with his plans.

I accidentally channeled my inner @soleminisanction last night and had a horrible realization after finishing Life is Strange: Before the Storm and I honestly really want to discuss it with someone that, unlike my roomates, actually cares and also wouldn't be spoiled by the conversations end game discussion

thedarkaquarian replied to your post “ske-lee-ton: i was at a wedding the other week and they played “play...”

Also that isn't the lyric. It's "play that funky music RIGHT boy". A very common misconception which is likely in part due to racial tension of its country of origin.

Actually it’s... kinda both. It’s “Play that funky music, white boy/Play that funky music right”. You can hear the difference between the two lines in the original pretty clearly, and it makes a lot of sense in context.

The song is anecdotal - Wild Cherry was a rock band, during the rise of disco. It’s actually talking about a specific incident where they were playing a gig, not going over very well, and a black audience member called out “Play some funky music, white boy!” So they wrote a song around it and recorded it with a pretty solid disco-funk sound, and it became their only hit.

(One thing I wasn’t able to find out and am interested in is whether this was a one-off or a long-term change in their sound - basically, is this their sarcastic and kinda racist response to being asked to broaden out, or did they actually find something worth getting behind in the sound of a scene that was predominantly mogai and PoC?)
