For our butler verse ✌️ bc u keep it in my miindd uuhhghhg anyway they gossiping that mihawk was drinking milk from the jug bottle instead of pouring on a cup or smth (?)
This is beautiful. Phenomenal. They are both looking so damn smug and clearly spilling the hottest tea possible. They are having a wonderful time gossiping and truly this is the foundation their friendship is built on.
In my heart, Mr. 3 is always Mihawk's butler and Ikkaku will make the most of the privileges that gets her lol!

I know its not canon but I always liked the idea that Flurry Heart grew up to be a normal pony. Never went on any princess-title-earning quest, no grand magical destiny, no real royal responsibilities. Just a normal pony (who happens to be an alicorn) free to enjoy life with her friends and hobbies

how do u overcome the fear of failure when ur not instantly good at something? i’ve been interested in engineering for a long time but i didn’t major in it because the high level calc and physics courses didn’t come to me naturally and i’m a perfectionist who hates failing or struggling 🥲
No one is too dumb for something. It’s not that you’ll just “never get” physics or calculus—it’s a matter of playing around w the material and seeing what works best for you. It doesn’t make those who process things at a faster pace superior to you; it just makes them different. Ik it might sting to struggle for a little bit, I’m also a perfectionist and I still have moments where I want to avoid topics bc I fear failure, but think of how satisfying it will feel once you get the ropes down & things just start making sense.
You have to put your desire to grow over your aversion to struggling at it. I’m personally terrified of stunting myself by never pushing myself hard enough, and that usually keeps my ego in check when it comes to stuff like this. If you’re not struggling, you’re not growing. Period.
You’ll have more to say by the time the interim of discomfort is over. This world is oversaturated w nepo babies / protégés / people who’re just naturally proficient… but they don’t have much to say as far as struggling to get good at something goes. The most digestible analogy I could think of is having acne & wanting to consult someone about it. Who do you think would have more to say about that: someone who never struggled w skin problems a day in their life, or someone who had major skin problems but now has glass skin? Probably the person who struggled but paved their way through it.
No one is going to point at you one day and laugh at you for having once struggled in physics or calculus. Once you’re an engineer you’re an engineer, same as anyone else. It’s very rare for people to care how long it took you to get to the finish line. They just care that you’re there.
My neuroscience prof said this once & it literally rewired my brain—but half the mental battle is just thinking that excelling at something is in your future no matter how long it takes, how hard it may be, or what you have to do to excel at it. Literally just telling yourself “I know I’ll get good at physics and calculus no matter what, I just need to figure out how” will help you sm. This is my form of manifestation lol even if I don’t believe in manifesting or anything like that. It’s legit just telling myself that I’ll get what I want eventually, so long as I work hard for it.

one thing I love about iswm is that even though the Captain hardly talks, engineer Mark always seems to understand them
I'd like to think that in the monster captain au, the two of them would still find their own ways of communicating, despite being very different

After The Avalanche...
I think James deserves a win, so he manages to save Nia (and her crew. and in the human au, her engine) all by himself but I don't think he can get it back on the rails by himself. So when Yong Bao comes along and offers help I think he takes it. Far cry from the guy complaining about pulling goods trains yet getting huffy when Nia tries to help.
She notices, I think.

duuude id love to hear your thoughts on engineer if you’d wanna share :333
YAYYYY YAHOO!!!!! now my interpretation isnt going to be the only one i want to note that. i am just one guy and i cannot claim the title of engineer expert. HOWEVER!
i do think that a lot of fanon sands down his sharp edges a lot. i dont think that he would bea good dad or father figure in general? maybe a not-abhorrent masculine figure but not like. dad. i think he is just some dork who was raised in texas, has a complex relationship with god and his family, and has a legacy to uphold. also this guy has such a fucking god complex guys can we play with his god complex more PLEASEEEEE his voicelines make me insane in the head.
i think people really reduce him to the found family nuclear family structure dad. and i think that does an injustice to his character. he makes stupid nerdy jokes and probably comes up with them and iterates on them repeatedly to make them work. hes probably ine of the mercs who knows the most about the reality of the gravel wars. he probably doesnt necessarily need to fight in them, just keep the machinery going. radigan wasnt on the front lines fighting. theres a nonzero chance that hes fighting because he wants to.
maybe theres canon evidence for it but i dont fully understand where the 'engineer cooks for everyone' thing comes from. like im sure he can cook and i know he can do magic on the grill (my heart and soul told me <3) but like. he is not making pancakes for the team he is in his workshop on hour 43 of no sleep drafting the blueprints for a machine that can crunch all the bullet casings into new bullets instantly on the battlefield so his turrets shoot more and he worries less. yknow?
idk again my interpretation is not the only one out there. however i think people really really need to let him be more fucked up. i need him to be a little meaner and a little freakier. this is important not ebcause i care about authentic depictions of characters but because i think its hot and clearly that is the most important thing.

Soooo how did your idea of dark being the captain started ? how different would his role be compared to the y/n captain in iswm ?
Alright... Let's get into it
Question 1: It actually started as a theory that I gradually believed more and more in a short span of time as everyone was consuming ISWM part 1, and when part 2 dropped, it both lead me on further, as well as disproved it. … (but really Markiplier's live stream on it disproved the theories for real) But that didn't really bum me out, because I had been ready from the start for it to not be true, so I just converted it to an AU, because I was projecting my own measure of story/characterization into it anyway.
Question 2: I don't have 1 answer for this! Either a complicated one, or one that enables any kind of headcanon… Answer A: The captain's choices and behavior doesn't change because we are sharing a body with Darkiplier('s parts) -- I just really like the idea of "What if we (D/A) stayed with Dark" and how that would be like a dramatized version of DID (of which I have! /info) of the "D/A" part (us) (…on top of likely forgetting the events of WKM due to AU stuff, but then remembering after gaining the multiverse abilities of the paradox…) forgetting or not knowing what Dark is doing in other timelines, (my favorite characterization idea of Cpt.Dark is that he's fronting in the routes where he throws Mark around or generally leads us to demise that might benefit him in the looooooong run- aka how he somehow canonically "finds" the paradox gem for the box at the post-credits) … while the Captain chooses to get along with Mark in other routes, doing something childish as sharing candy, which is much closer to my personal "D/A" characterization, not at all what Dark would be doing ahhaha
Answer B: If I wanted a timeline to occur differently from the "Canon" events of ISWM, to characterize Captain Darkiplier as separate from Canon Captain… well, Dark could just do about anything he wanted,
(from here onward is rambling, not relevant to the question!:)
… if he could .. If he somehow escaped the inevitability of the causality of meta-narrative events of what has and will occurred in ISWM via the writing of Market Plier- lol Kind of like how Damien and Celine can't outrun their fate or Actor's bullshit as seen at the end of DAMIEN, which I think holds some thematic power or significance over the future events after the "seal" is broken on the multiverse stuff- aka everything After WKM. … Mark has said a lot in live streams but one thing that stuck with me is how he explained the "timeline" noting that moment when Dark picks up the staff , as the exact moment where the events of DAMIEN is condensed. IIRC. And then for this AU I kind of added more onto that- AHWM ISWM ADWM could have happened in a condensed fashion similarly… The glass breaking in the first video of ISWM, the ice breaking in DAMIEN twice… The lines Head Engineer speaks at the canon ending mirroring the lines spoken by Damien and Celine at the end of DAMIEN… It's as if it's like, a loop, or pocket, or spiral, some kind of non-linear shape… Whichever way it is, I guess the most important point is that it's non-linear. I like to call it wobbly time (a theme in my OC's as well) It's not essential to consume nor understand a story by understanding how its universe works. After all, we as people in real life don't know how our universe is shaped. Is it infinite, or does it loop? (Can you tell I'm a bit autistic about space?) But the desire to adventure and discover what's out there is sometimes commendable and a beautiful instinct of human life… other times, not so much. We could all learn from Head Engineer's mistake. But yea, Dark is powerful but not God of this Universe powerful… I think it'd be funny that if Dark tried everything in his power to defy the laws of the universe, once he finally got a hold on the time paradox that literally allows him to traverse the multiverse to find any timeline that gives him an upper hand on his #1 Enemy, when he travels to literally the ends of the universe, Mark (The Real Life Author) is like "no" so Dark has to go back to the main story line (or at least close to it, there's plenty of legroom for fanon things to occur around the "main timeline") Dark's like "ugh fine" and completes the ending of ISWM like it's a videogame to gain back his agency splitting from D/A (You and your choices in the "videogame") again, and to get away from Head Engineer- even though he's one of the more tolerable Marks, I GUESS- (Frenemies trope x The Unlikely Friendship trope x Doomed trope, and some other dynamic or development that can't really be similarly labeled as a trope, which hopefully I will be able to share to everyone who will want to know about it) I also like to think that's why he's dangling the box in front of us in AHWM instead of actually using it for anything. He can use us to get what he wants quicker than by doing it alone. Using the anomaly gem in the box for his own needs a second time would not work nor worth the risk of ISWM 2.0
What I love about Markiplier's cinematic universe is that it involves both distortion of identity and distortion of time/space- anything and anyone can happen. I relate to it and my chaotic (and also very analytical and ""DeeP"") creative style is very compatible with it. :)
Thank you for the questions !! Feel free to ask as many questions as you like about what I said here if it didn't make sense, because damn it's compact. It could be explained better if paced out (or storytold?) instead of all dropped into one post heheh

@waxgentleman asked: Smash or Pass + Scratchmen Apoo! Fu hahahaha! Send Smash or Pass + a name and my muse will say if they would smash or pass on that person. (Still Accepting!)

Terrible. Awful. Absolutely gross. And yet still a better option than Buggy. "Pass. That guy is just so fucking repulsive, both personality-wise and physically. I'd rather kick his teeth in."

💙Smoshblr December Asks Day 16💛
Which 3 smosh-related clothing items would you like to own yourself? (this can be anything ranging from merch, costumes or just regular clothes the cast has worn in vids)
Bonus: Are there any cast/crew members that closely match what you regularly wear anyways?
OOH FUN
i was eyeing the recent friendship never dies baseball cap, but i just couldn't justify paying $40 for a hat :') i like my merch to be subtle with the branding, pretty/well-designed, and more meaningful or specific to a running joke rather than a one-time saying!
courtney's fashion is really cool and specific, and i still really like their color block flannel years after i first saw them wearing it. i got a sorta cheap version of that in the junior's section of a kohl's, but their flannel looks thicker and comfier :>
the first post i saved under my "fashion" folder on instagram includes these sort of ultraviolet streaky pants from noah. i appreciate an maximilist, "anything goes" fashion style, and noah's is no exception!

Erm- *is holding a dog, aa cute dog named Bella* UMMMM Well I saw the other Anon (sorry forgot your name) wanted a dog and this little girl was on the streets in town. Who can say no to her little face! I kept dogs before Engineer! I'll be responsible for her I promise and then everyone can give her attention while you and the other Mercenaries are fighting. Just look at the baby!
Tumblr media
Listen, bug, it's not about how cute the dog is, nor how much attention you can give her. It's simply unsafe for us to keep a pet 'round.
But, until we can make sure she has the nice home she deserves, be sure to take the best care of her. She's not my job, okay? You'll be- as well as ang other of the kiddos that want to help- in charge of taking great care of her. Treat her like a princess, alright? Us humans don't deserve dogs, but we can treat em' the best that we can while we have em'.
The heat 'round here ain't too friendly, so be sure that she can easily access cooler rooms.
An' ah know that it'll be hard to resist, 'cause she is cute, but this should go without sayin'- don't smother her with attention if she don't want it, leave her be if that's what she wants.

I love your art! Your Nichoji illustrations are so beautiful.
Are there any tropes or genres that you like a lot and would like to see more of in Fence fan works? 
!!!!!
Tumblr media
thANK YOU?? 💛💛💛 goodness you all are sO damn sweet 😭😭😭 i'm just happy to be here and that people enjoy my silly thoughts
oooo that's a good one. i love the tattoo artist/florist trope a lot for no real good reason tbh. particularly for eugesse uwu. have always been a big fan of antihero/robin hood aus where one character is running from the law and the other is some journalist or hero trying to catch them. on that thread, secret identity shenanigans too. some other rapid fire ones are road trips, snow days & winter shenanigans, olympics shenaniganary, and finding each other as adults post high school and falling in love (whatever trope that's called??).
also full disclosure that just bc of my life going crazy since 2022 and eating all of my free time, i haven't been active in the ao3 tag like i used to be :') if folks have written stuff like this, hell yea! feel free to send it and i'll hopefully have a moment to read
thank you for the ask!! 💛
