Okay but can we talk about how absolutely extra Dark is though? White suit, pinky ring, glass of wine, AND laying across the table like that? My God it was beautiful, and hilarious in a ‘you-know-he-learned-that-specifically-for-us’ kind of way, I missed him (Also hi!! Long time no see! C: )
UGH he knows EXACTLY how to make the fandom collectively explode
ALSO HI I SAW YOU IN MY NOTIFS AND I WAS LIKE YESSSSSSS HELLOOOOO FRAAND

*bows deeply* If I may... Going along the same train as the other ask, would you ever find yourself providing aid to something for selfish reasons since selflessness isn't in your programming? Let's use the ol' "villain saving the world only so he can be the one to destroy it" scenario as an example.
“A fair question of course.”
Dark promptly responded, but didn’t bother rising from his chair in order to meet them, simply letting intense crimson gaze flicker across them as they bowed before him, taking in their gesture like a king would to a graceful peasant. A sniff through his nostrils was his only response, before finally allowing his words to continue.
“Of course, my goals are very simple in comparison to many other people who have selfish reasoning. I have no desire to destroy the world, or warp anyone’s happiness, or truly do anything evil at all. I’m not evil. That is a misconception that has unfortunately been carried with me from the first days of my development.”
He rolled a wrist in a sort of sign of dismissiveness. It hardly bothered him what others considered him to be.
“Nevertheless, yes. Those who are my lovelies, or my pets, can find me providing them with things they believe they need. Offering them protection, advice, objects, affection. I am not afraid to state that all of this is for my own benefit in the end. Whether it be me leeching their energy to grow my power and strength, gaining their obedience and loyalty to use later as an influence, it hardly matters. My singular goal is to end who ended me. And I will use everything I have at my disposal.”

Congrats on the 50! If you're still up to taking prompts, how about “The way you flirt is shameful.” with Dark and Wilford. I love me some inter-dimensional pissing contests.
((I hope this is alright! Sorry for taking eight thousand years to write this)) @authorsathenaeum
The number one rule among all of the egos was to “never interrupt Dark when he’s working”.He always got super grumpy when it happened and would, they’d learned, use his aura to fling whoever had interrupted him out of his office.Yet Wilford never seemed to obey this rule, which pissed Dark off to no end.Like today, when Dark was trying to get some last minute work done.The key word there was “trying”, because Wilford was perched right on his desk, sucking on a lollipop and just generally being way too bright and cheerful for Dark’s tastes.“Dark, what would happen if animals ruled the world instead of humans?”“From what I’ve seen, it would probably be an improvement,” Dark murmured.“Like what if humans and animals switched intelligence? If humans were the wild species and animals could, like, invent shit?”Dark didn’t deign that with an answer.“What would animals even invent, I wonder? What would their hobbies be?”“Would they drive cars? Even bigger animals?”“Would they have an education system?”“Would you shut up?” Dark growled, aura flickering. Not quite a break or crack, but just a slight warning. “I’m trying to get some work done. I would suggest you do the same.”“Yeah, but I don’t feeeeeel like it,” Wilford singsonged. “I’d rather talk to you.”“I don’t want to talk to you,” Dark said shortly. “I’m busy. Go bother someone else.”“No one else gets as riled up as you though.” Wilford waggled his lollipop in Dark’s face. “You’re cute when you get all pissy.”Dark sighed heavily through his nose, but managed not to respond, instead just trying to ignore the pink ego in hopes that he would get bored and go away.Unfortunately, he was having no such luck.“Dark, do you ever have fun? Do you even know what fun is?”Dark glanced up to growl out a reply.Instead, he found Wilford’s face only several inches away from his own and promptly forgot what he had been about to say.“Do I have to show you what fun is?” Wilf asked with a suggestive waggle of his eyebrows. The move was so hilariously cheesy that it snapped Dark out of shock he’d been in and he actually laughed.It was just a short, little thing but it was so out of character that it made him blush.He didn’t know why he’d done it, it had just happened.Though to be fair, he did an alarming number of out of character things around Wilford.The pink haired ego seemed to just draw them out of him like a magnet.“Did you actually just laugh? Did the great Darkiplier just laugh?”“Yes because your face looked so ridiculous,” Dark retorted. “Don’t ever make that face in my presence ever again.”“Are you insulting my flirting?”Dark had to bite back another urge to laugh.“Wait, that was your attempt at flirting? Please tell me you’re kidding.”“No, why?”“That is absolutely shameful!”“You just don’t want me to actually flirt with you. You’d be done for in a second. I just do cheesy shit because if I pulled out my real flirting skills, it’s not even a challenge,” Wilford said with a smirk.“Try me.” Dark leaned back in his chair, crossing his arms. He was curious now, work forgotten.“What, you want me to flirt with you?”“Sure, why not?”Wilf tossed his lollipop stick in the trash, shifting to sit cross legged on Dark’s desk. He was always down for a good game or bet.“Alright, what are the stakes? No hold on…if I can successfully get you to kiss me, then you have to apologize for calling my flirting ‘pathetic’.”“And if you don’t, then you’re not allowed to bother me while I’m working for a month. Preferably longer than that.”“A month it is!” Wilf held out his hand, but when Dark took it to shake, Wilf used it to pull Dark close enough to whisper in his ear. “But you’d better be prepared to lose.”

Audio
I edited the audio of the “Don’t remember” video and I think @authorsathenaeum with the add on from will-shut-up-4-wifi on this post is pretty accurate.
“Do you remember the first time we met?”
“Do you remember what I said?”
“I said we were going to do great things together”
“You remember this? I do”
“Go back to sleep”
I was also looking through the html code of this video:

“You shouldn’t be looking here, go back to sleep”

Headcanon: Dark has days when he simply can't move one of his hands (because of breaking his neck and messing up his nerves), so he compensates by becoming ambidextrous. That's also why he's so great at piano.

Sketchy Stobotnik enjoying a coffee (Ivo) and hot chocolate (Stone) from an AU that @authorsathenaeum and I call the “Feral!Stone” AU
Set after the first Sonic movie, through Robotnik’s time on the mushroom planet and his return to Earth, he’s growing his hair back, he’s re-styled his moustache and he has an adorable, Mushroom Planet raised man on his arm.
HMU if you want more deets ^^ I may be writing fanfic of this soon when the vamp!Robotnik one is done

Can I get 87 with Wilford and Celine please? c:

Commission Me
Tags: @tiny-yan-an @darkstache-iplier @redraspberrycats @holyshitsnakesandspace @cookieface678 @bing-iplier @storm337 @sketchy-scribs-n-doods @pixelenchanter @itsjustkyss @darkiplurrr @demonnightmareangel @moonysmayhem
Prompt 87: “I can’t just forget you. That’s not how it works.”
    He caught glimpses of her everywhere: in the graceful flap of raven’s wings, in the delicate gait of the woman crossing the street, in the brief moments between sunset and moonrise where twilight seemed to envelope everything.
    He saw her in Dark. In the incline of his head, in his sharp smiles, in the wicked gleam of his deep black eyes as he regarded Wilford with an expression that looked as if he’d enjoy carving his heart from his chest. 
    It was so easy to love Dark, then. But it was just as easy to miss her, too.
    “Do you think she’ll ever come back?” He asked once, as they walked down the hallway.
    “And who are you speaking of?” Dark’s reply was bored. Indifferent. But a flicker of something crossed his face, too fast for Wilford to catch.
    “Why, Celine, of course.”
    “Ah.” Another flicker. A momentary faltering of his impassive facade. “It surprises me that you remember her at all.”
    Wilford scoffed, placed a hand to his chest in mock dismay. “As if I could forget such a stunning, awe-inspiring-”
    Dark cut him a glare. “I’ve not the patience for your rambling.”
    “Fine, grouchy-pants. Of course I remember Celine. My heart still beats for her to this day.” He paused, then sighed wistfully, as if a fond memory had crossed his mind. “She would tear my heart out as soon as look at me.”
    Dark waved a hand. “You would do well to forget her.”
    “Why-” such a preposterous suggestion! “I can’t just forget her. That’s not how it works, Darkie. You know that as well as I.”
    Dark halted in his tracks. Turned to fix him with a stare so venomous it made Wilford step back. And for a second he looked as if he might say something, but then he rolled his eyes and kept on down the hallway. “This conversation is finished.”
    Wilford didn’t protest, for once. But it occurred to him, as he trotted to catch up, that Dark had never answered his question.

Here’s a piece of something I’ve been tweaking for awhile now that @adreamoverlife requested and I just finished. c: It’s just a preview because…
Announcement time!
I’m making a new blog (that I’m still setting up) that I’m going to dedicate to Markiplier Ego fanart and the fanfiction that follows, as well as reblogs of good art and fanfiction, so if there’s anyone who actually enjoys that from me, please go follow @authorsathenaeum instead! (That’s not to say I’ll stop reblogging Markiplier anything else here. Oh God no. I just wanted a place for my actual art posts since I reblog so much stuff so fast. lol)
And if you don’t, thank you for following this blog and I hope you have a wonderful night/day!

Casual survey
I know septiplier isn't a huge thing anymore but I've had this AU idea floating around in my head for quite some time now and I was just wondering who would read it if I posted it. I'll leave a small snippet under the cut and if you'd like to be tagged just let me know.
@authorsathenaeum @egotisticalfloof I’ll tag you guys since I’ve talked to you about this AU
One minute he was standing on firm ground and the next he was being swallowed by cold water.
For how warm it was outside, Mark thought the water was unfairly cold.
The world looked different from down here, all ripple-y and green, the sun slanting in at a different angle, the leaves on the trees distorted. 
He knew he should be freaking out. He was drowning after all.
But he couldn’t seem to move his arms or legs or even bring himself to care at all. He knew he was sinking, yet the water seemed to be getting lighter and lighter, and greener too, little sparkles of light floating around him. 
And then there was a hand around his wrist, drawing him up, unwaveringly up through the water until his head hit the surface and Mark sucked in a breath reflexively.
Only his face was still partially under the water, so all he did was choke on a bunch of lake water. He could hear people calling his name, the crew and other actors. And another voice as well...
“Are you alright? You were under for quite a while.” All Mark could register as he tried to catch his breath were brilliant blue eyes and a thick Irish accent. The man helped him up onto the bank of the lake, pulling himself up after Mark. “You’re alright, yeah?”
"Your hair is green...” 
“Okay yeah, you’re alright.”

Remember that thread we had about the Ego boys and dancing? Well, me and @authorsathenaeum were taking about it and she got me thinking about Henrik and Robbie, And it was adorable. So I decided to draw a thing with Henrik and Robbie dancing together. :D Robbie really doesn’t know any complex dances, he just kinda swings around, So what better dance is there to do with Henrik other than a gentle waltz. I suddenly love this this dance partner pairing.

Do you think Host ever lets Dark wear his trench coat? I mean, I'm sure Dark can't actually get cold, but there's a sentimentality to it that makes Dark softly smile when no one's looking
I think he would. Especially since I hc that the Host is always radiating heat (he is always feverish- his eyes get infected) and always warm.
Title: Cold
Snowflakes drifted from an ash-colored sky to rest daintily on Dark’s shoulders and a frigid wind blew through, rattling bare branches and tousling his hair.
Annoyed, he brushed it back into place. But he didn’t shiver. Didn’t react to the cold in any other way.
The Host, on the other hand, had his hands shoved deep into his trench-coat pockets, and his constant narrations were accompanied by frosty puffs of breath.
“Dark is wearing nothing in terms of winter gear,” he muttered as they went.
“I am not,” Dark replied, folding his arms behind his back. “You know very well I do not feel the cold.”
But the Host was already stripping off his trench-coat and holding it out to Dark. “Dark may not feel the cold, but it will still do damage to his vessel. It would do him no harm to take precautions.”
Dark paused. Considered the trench-coat- with its bloodstains and slightly dingy appearance- for a moment before taking it. “You make a valid point.”
The Host nodded, his cheeks flushed red from cold. He stuck his hands into the pockets of his black dress pants as Dark pulled on the coat. It was warm, and not entirely uncomfortable.
“Thank you, Host,” he said, the faintest ghost of a smile pulling at his lips.
There was a moment where the Host described it. Then, “Dark is most welcome.”

I’m sorry it’s being so difficult, I totally understand the frustration when the words just don’t convey your idea the way you want :c Would you like an outside eye to take a peek?
it’s okay! I might just take a break from it for now. But here’s what I’ve got so far:
Prompt 4: “I will kill anyone that looks at you the way I look at you.”
    With all the cameras rolling and all the lights trained on him, Bim Trimmer strolled offstage to one final, thunderous applause. Sweat shone on his forehead but he wore his flashiest ‘show host’ grin as he gave the audience a wave and disappeared into the wings.
    He had no doubt tonight had been a smashing success: not a single person missed a cue or fumbled a line, and all three contestants behaved exceptionally.
    One contestant in particular caught his attention; several times throughout the night Bim caught Justin’s stare boring into his back, and each time Bim turned he’d give a slow, sultry wink.
    It was flattering and disturbing, and Bim was turned on by both.
    Speaking of. Bim handed his microphone off to one of his crew, then glanced around, searching for a familiar imposing figure. Dark said he would be here.
