Who Killed Markiplier?

WKM may be over, but there is still room for theory and conjecture! Feel free to submit your ideas!

[wkm-theories]

Honest opinion:

Was it Wilfords fault that he shot actor Mark?

He stated they played a dangerous game, he didn’t know the gun was loaded.

I have my opinion but I’m genuinely curious what people’s thoughts are on this. Send asks, let me know! -Song

[pocketmeganedits]

But… I… Am… Sorry.

[radioactive-creative-bug]

POTATO SALAD

Was it my fault?

[friendzoned61]

I would not want to be in the same building as that thing, I tell you me.

[wkm-theories]

The bot was a scan of Wilfords brain, the implications of this...

[wkm-theories]

Let him in

[lancevoltron]

Just let me in. We can fix this. Together.

[wkm-theories]

So according to Mark's Livestream today he's pitched a sequel to AHWM and I believe it was approved? So it should be about a year or so before that's out :D

[lady-raziel]

since we’re on the theme of ahwm memes, here’s a throwback

[hawkeye221b]

You know I’ve been thinkin about Who Killed Markiplier and I’ve come to the conclusion Damien was a little shit before everything went down.

My Evidence?

- Did a Keg Stand (clearly not his first)

- Tells us he hasn’t seen us go wild since university days (thusly implying he was also part of said university shenanigans)

- Most likely was very good at poker, though not to our standards (”Try not to rob us blind again”)

- When Wil had his breakdown, he asked if Damien put us up to it, thusly implying Damien was a frequent or semi-frequent prankster.

In conclusion: Damien was a wild little shit whom I love and miss.

And this is my finished theory. Don’t get too serious tho. It’s just a theory. For fun.

Mark and Colonel grew up together in a house since they were kids. Like a brother! They meet Demien and Celine later and become friends.

And Mark and Celine. They get married. They look happy…Except her brother and his friend.

Damien thinks he’s not good enough for Celine. But he never tell him about it. Because no matter what, he was his friend, and he is now Celine’s husband, but also…

He once helped Damien. Without his help, he would have been in big trouble. So he decided to be nice to him.

Um, and, you know…Colonel. He loved Celine. That’s how Mark and he got separated. Because there have been many fights.

And as everyone knows, their happy marriage didn’t last long. The reason is unknown, But here’s some theory.

1. Mark just acted like an asshole to Celine.

2. Mark was possessed by the demon of the manor and acted like an asshole to Celine.

3. Celine’s spiritual power sensed something was in the manor, and she ran away from it. What about Mark? He’s already too late…

But she didn’t just come out and live alone. She called him, and she had a meeting with him. Quite often. Yes, him. Someone who hates Mark. Someone who was interested in her…

…The result was pretty predictable. Isn’t it?

So, how was Mark doing while they were living? Let’s borrow the detective’s words for a moment.

…It doesn’t look good. I mean, in that order? He stabbed himself 37 times in the first attempt? Without knowing he’s not going to die? That’s brutal…

Anyway, he finds out about the existence of the demon in the manor through this suicide attempt. That’s not good. Very bad. The demon constantly whispers to his ears that this is not fair and they don’t deserve to be happy. And his body was falling apart completely. Because of those suicide attempts.

…so, finally, he planned revenge.

Listen.

I love them.

So I must draw them. I don’t make the rules. 

I am still flying SO HIGH off of ‘AHWM’. My god. Mark, Team, Everyone involved - I can’t even speak of how much I loved it. Absolutely such a wonderful and amazing performance. Thank you SO much for all of your hard work. 

**Do Not Repost/Steal - Reblogs are okay!**

Enjoy~

“A Heist With Markiplier” Theory

Okay, so I know Mark has said that canonically, the box in A Heist With Markiplier contains only the BTS and Bloopers videos. I also know Mark is very much a “word of god” type writer, and has stated whatever is not presented in video format is usually not canon. However, I had a lot of fun crafting this theory for me and a friend, and I wanted to share it here. :)

SPOILERS FOR HEIST AHEAD! Also for Who Killed Markiplier and A Date With Markiplier, but those are over two years old now. You’ve been warned!

Keep reading

[rose-gold-tinted-nostalgia]

Smh everyone here talking about Dark and Wilford returning and sleeping on the return of the ONLY character that matters

The fast drivin’, grass smokin’, ass eatin’ man himself

H e a p a s s Jones!

Notes from the AHWM Explanation Livestream

This will be long, so fair warning! If you're on computer, you can press the spacebar to skip this post if you want!

There was CG smoke for the bomb

The last shot was running after the bomb goes off, filmed during the day

Many cursed images

(0:56 - Guns Blazing) November 5th = gunpowder treason & plot (a reference)

Ethan is the one yelling during the run

Helicopter/Car was filmed in a place formerly known as Spiderwoods (spiders, snakes, and bugs everywhere)

Mark's patented method to get rid of snakes is to tell them to fuck off

There was big black snake near the library

Chica snore-grumbles

Most of the choices were pretty evenly split in the video data

The guy who owned the field in Helicopter/Car also owned the helicopter

It was hard to get the cameraman to know that the camera is an interacting character

They filmed up to 10 pages a day

Prison was the first 2 days of shooting, as well as the part with the most characters/extras (12 people)

Mick gets typecasted in roles of authority

The Prison location is a functioning mental hospital

John was a Prisoner, first mate, and is a realtor IRL

There is no "why" to recording this to keep a broad audience and have fun after Mark was in a depression and made WKM

The Gregory Brothers / Schmoyoho made 2 renditions of I Don't Wanna Be Free (which is on Apple/iTunes/Spotify)

The musical was a production/recording nightmare on the 2nd day

They had 20 minutes max. to learn each segment; they had a choreographer helping them learn the dances

The original vocals didn't have the accent

Mark had to do the vocals, acting, blocking, etc. in 30 mins

Mick was supposed to cross frame during the top-hats-part, but they had already recorded it; the producers weren't comfortable telling Mark "no" yet, so they had Amy do it

The smashed bricks were styrofoam; Mark was typed to a rope that was pulled

The director of photography was Phillip J Roy; he took a pay cut to work on this project

Yancy's sleeve tattoo is the whole map again

Yancy's tattoos are Tiny Box Tim and Mark/Dark across his knuckles; those were Makeup's ideas

The Musical was only 1/4 of a recording day

There was 3 work weeks of shooting (15 days)

Day By Dave made a remix

Yancy was named "Prison Mark" until the fight scene started to be made in post-production, where he needed a name; Mark liked Yancy and Amy was very against it originally

Yancy killed both of his parents; Mark knew people were gonna fall in love with him anyway

"Yancy stans, go, march on"

Yancy has an emoji bandaid

Heapass (canonically) makes an appearance in Thanks and also Yes Please; he had "Heapass" on a cast, but it was on the wrong side from the camera

Holt Boggs (the cell guard) is an amazing man; he was overqualified ("soft hands")

The cell was in a green-screen soundstage, so there was more improve

Yancy was supposed to be hidden in the ceiling or beside the bed, but under the bed turned out better; he's hidden under the bed the whole scene

The Red Gemini was the camera that they used for this project

Mark just runs off frame in Thanks and also Yes Please

The audio-only part was very convenient for filming and fitting for a 1st-person perspective

Yancy's talk at the gate was Mark real-acting & the late shot of the 1st day of filming, which made all of them realize that the project could actually work

Yancy WANTS to be in prison; he knows all the ways out - he'd leave if he wanted to

The items in the box are more representational achievements

Mark needs our help to promote AHWM, through liking the video(s), commenting good things, and spreading the project; the performance of this dictates the ability to make another similar project

Mark worked for FREE for 5 months, taking no cut of the budget for himself

"Yancy is just Prison Mark with amnesia" "There could be a time-skip there; it could work"

Robert Rex, "a god walking amongst mere morals;" has always wearing the same thing; Mark didn't know that he was going to do different accents

Amy is the hand with the feather-duster

The Warden's desk moves into the hallway after a smash-cut

Mick's line had to be rewritten so it can be ambiguous; you can only tell if you were looking

The Warden embodies "big strong hands," something Mark writes into dialogue a lot (along with "trust you me"); everytime he touches something it cracks (his desk, Yancy's shoulder)

Pulling stuff from behind Mark's back was on-the-spot

The dirt joke was a prop-person and Mark throwing buckets

Mark helped Holt Boggs make a short video

HOLT BOGGS

The truck in Prison was a one-take-wonder; they actually bashed the truck through the wall in a such a cartoony, perfect way

The Bob/Wade skit was a reference to Prop Hunt

Mark comparing the disappointment of people not liking the video to a cup of dirt under the Christmas tree

The lid to the sewer says "a heist with markiplier"

The sewer was in an actual sewer treatment plant, which took about a week of filming; some parts were flooded so they couldn't film there; this place was scheduled to be torn down

Mark forces us to choose the Light Tunnel first

Cranbersher, GrittySugar, and Lixian collaborated for the Light Tunnel; it was originally going to be live action with a green-screen and a pre-made raft; Cranberser offered when he had a 3-month break from other projects

Amy notes that Mark did a lot of "falling"

Mark had to carry a 200 pound man and a heavy camera rig to carry Y/N

There was poison ivy, snakes, spiders, etc. on the island

The Game Grumps voiced the aliens; Erin originally was meant to play the Warden & Danny was meant to play one of the guards

Many roles fluctuated due to scheduling

Getting abducted is a reference to ADWM ("not again!")

Mark loves MatPat's scenes and acting (Build a Shelter)

There were so many mosquitos near the Cave and the actors couldn't put on bug spray because they had to preserve their makeups

There was a giant hole in the Cave from which grasshoppers rained down

They were a mile into the cave; they weren't able to staff them for 3 days, so they recorded for 2 days and had fo cut some shots

The Cave freeze-frame was unscripted; the camera director didn't tell cut and it was too funny

The Hermit was originally supposed to be Jacksepticeye but scheduling errors were in the way

Mick was originally supposed to be Crazy Ed

When the sound-guy didnt have a sound effect, one of them riffed something at the mic and it was modulated to fit as best as possible

Mark's camera loses signal/battery power

Mark has done the hot-wire-while-moving in Car before (van videos)

The blue flash during Car is you from the future/another timeline

Mark was actually driving the car; someone flashed the blue light so it was a bit dangerous

Tyler and Ethan make appearances as Zombies

Tyler actually let Mark hit him with a rock

There was a dead beaver in the shed during the Zombie Apocalypse

The Zombie Apocalypse shots were in VERY hot weather

The barricaded front door but very open back door was intentional humour

Ethan's zombie handshake was thought up on the spot

Moe was the man screaming from the fire and zombie attack, making everyone behind the camera laugh

Rosanna Pansino sings opera & speaks Chinese

The Scientist had to be broken up (the cuts are in the gunshots)

243 is a chemical identification symbol in an actual laboratory, nothing meaningful to the plot

The code leads to the AHWM website

What's truly inside the box is the real timeline, which is the team making the project

The room where the monitor was in (Amy, script manager, etc.) was locked out and no one could see what was going on, only hear it through headsets

Mark threw 2 dummies (main video, Absolutely Not!)

Chica likes to climb through the cords underneath Mark's desk

The true/canon ending is For The Greater Good, which leads to ADWM

SodaPopIn hasn't really done this before, but he went with it because he was told Mark was nice; he continued even during harsh weather, many planes, and a long take/monologue

The sandwiches are a callback to ADWM

The montage endings were inspired by the ones Amy made for ADWM

There was never any time set aside to get photos for the montages, so they had to continuously get pictures

Catherine makes an appearance in the Warfstache bit

Warfstache is just a meta joke > you respond by writing in the comments as a survey, producer Catherine is more powerful than the video-editing, ringing the bell for notifications

They rented the same place for the Warfstache bit that they used to film all the other previous Warfstache bits

Dark inserts himself wherever he feels like being

There is charity (#TeamTrees) merch for each of the egos/Mark characters in this project (including the new ones)

Edge of Sleep's last episode aired yesterday (as of the stream - 6/11/19)

A "reverse" charity livestream is happening soon

The next project(s) are already in the works

SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT HEIST

Amy originally wasn't going to work on this project until they went to Texas; she became Creative Producer once Mark put himself into too many places

Iba originally auditioned for the man in the burning truck, but his voice was so good he became the seer/guide

The project has been "cooking" since May

The next project would be a completely different project, not a continuation

SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT HEIST

Regular uploads start again tomorrow (7/11/19)

[wkm-theories]

Some fun stuff from Mark's stream on AHWM!

- MatPat's character was originally supposed to be played by Jacksepticeye, but he was unable to make it for the filming.

- Arin and Dan were originally going to be playing the Warden and one if the guards, respectively, before they were given the role of the aliens. The two alien characters were supposed to be three, but Mark kind if meshed the dialogue to fit two characters and it worked great! (Thanks spydys for the correction!)

- The set where Warfstache is in Heist is the exact same set that the original Warfstache videos also took place!

- In one of the buildings in the zombie scene, there was a dead beaver under a table.

- The building for the sewer scene (it was an actual sewage treatment plant, for those who didn't see the BTS) was scheduled for demolition shortly after the video was shot and according to mark is probably not there anymore

((I might edit this to include some more stuff but feel free to reblog and add your own facts or to correct me in case I got something wrong 😀

Personal hc for Illinois is that he’s like Shane Madej when it comes to scares. Like he’ll be on another one of his adventures and some evil echoing shit starts up and he goes “hm. this place has some very nice acoustics”

JSJGYDUGFYUGHFN HE ABSOLUTELY WOULD BE LIKE THAT

or he’ll get shot at and he’s like “you guys have the heart but you lack the aim”

[wkm-theories]

there was a whole thing with people saying twunk animated colonel sanders looked kinda like mark. i think he reblogged some fan art of it at some point?

...I completely forgot that happened...

Though I think that happened a while before Heist? Or maybe it was around the time it was first announced? Idk I think my brain was really trying to unsee twunk colonel sanders
