Ok yeah, exploring the potential dynamics between the District Attorney and the rest of the WKM cast after the tragedy that was poker night is fun and all.
But what about a DA who's just batshit feral, what about a DA who hates literally everybody following what happened. What about a DA who has become so, viscerally monstrous from being trapped in that manor for almost a century that they manage to bust out for the sole purpose of ruining lives.
Need a DA who is so unimpressed by Darks attempts to get rid of Actor that they decide, fuck it, I'll do it my damn self.
They were a lawyer, they got the skills and charisma to social engineer some bullshit that would flip the status quo on its head. That's a source of untapped angst and potentially wild comedy.
I have the creative energy to make a whole ass sideblog exploring just this concept and I'm not afraid to use it.

Theory/Headcanon: What if the version of Who Killed Markiplier we see isn't what actually happened on the night of Actor's death? What if it's one of his stories, putting the DA through his retelling of events. It would explain things like people explaining things that, had the DA not been trapped for so long, they likely would have remembered like who the Colonel was or that he was Mark's childhood friend (I know the out of universe reason of us the viewer needing to know, but in character they probably would have been at the wedding), or a storm with no rain, but it could also be a way for Actor to paint himself in a better light.
See how everyone was so uncaring and unorganised about his death? Even after he welcomed them into his home. Even after he was so kind.
See how quickly your friends turned on you? After you did nothing but help. And not one thought to defend you, did they?
See how the twins abandoned you? How they used you? How they promised you'd be safe?
See how I am the only one you can trust?

ISWM Theory: Y/N is a separate character from us
You know, something I've noticed about all of this is how the more that the universe broke, the more personality we see in Y/N (who I'm also 100% sure is the DA)
Like, in A Date With Markiplier, there's barely any instances of Y/N showing any personality, which makes sense considering that nothing is falling apart in ADWM.
In A Heist With Markiplier, things and timelines start to fall apart and we get some instances of Y/N showing bits of personality, but not much.
Mark could've had Y/N go along with heist! Mark's "1, 2, 3,security!" but he didn't, instead, we see Y/N being a lil impatient
Again, Y/N didn't need to do a tumbs up before Ed killed them, this scene would've played the same way without the tumbs up, and yet, they still did a tumbs up
This shot didn't need to be here either, we already know that Y/N's been bit and the vid would've been the same without this shot. Y/N looking at their bite wound after Heist! Mark says that he knows that Y/N wouldn't betray his undying trust means that Y/N feels guilty for lying to him.
Instead of just Mark throwing things at the science lady, it's also Y/N throwing things.
You know, Y/N could've just shook their head in this scene. But no, they decided to be a little shit and flip Yancy off
And finally, In Space With Markiplier, everything is going absolutely wrong in every way: the timeline's collapsing, everyone is dying, Y/N is getting blamed for everything, etc. But, we also get even more instances of Y/N acting like a separate character than us. Heck, these instances happen in almost every ISWM video.
Y/N didn’t need to greet everyone back, but they did, they even finger gunned at some of them along the way
Y/N is like “My champagne :(”
Y/N panicking when the ship is asking for an update while the wormhole opens
Y/N quickly stopping Mark from dying by holding his hand so he wouldn’t fly into space
Y/N not caring about explaining anything to Mark and just throwing the fire extinguisher at him instead of handing it to him.
Y/N thinking that Mark died and paying respects to him.
Y/N preparing Mark for fixing the coolant leak. They didn’t need to do this, but they did, they even gave him a lil lunchbox!
Mark could’ve had Y/N just stand there waiting, but he didn’t do that. Inseatd, we have Y/N thinking Space! Mark is dead once again and writing a whole ass letter to Chica.
Y/N giving a thumbs up to Mark. Again, not needed, but is still here.
Could’ve just had Y/N waiting still, but instead, they pull a pocket watch and look at the time.
Again, not needed, but still included. Y/N getting cold and taking a jacket.
Y/N has tried fixing it from the outside 3 times and not once did this dumbass think of attaching an oxygen tank to their suit and helmet.
After the loop reset in Go Towards The Light, Y/N kills themselves, maybe it’s test and see if the loop is really there, maybe it’s out of anger, either way, they still do it.
Both choices are basically the same and show what Y/N really wanted to do, and that’s to Jump In/CANNON BALL into the wormhole. So yeah, Y/N’s a bit of a dumbass.
Y/N likes to carry a lot of weapons.
Y/N getting worried about Mark and reaching out to him
Y/N reaching out to Wil and acting like a sad puppy when he tells them to go back to the warp core.
THE FUCKING ENTIRITY OF PLAN K! This entire video just shows us how chaotic Y/N can be! A lot of us didn’t know what plan K even was! It could’ve been anything, and yet, it was this. This was Y/N’s idea and choice on how to escape the narrator.
There’s more of these moments, but I don’t exactly have the time on my hands to screenshot all of them, so y’all gonna have to watch ISWM if you wanna see them all.
I believe that the reason that these moments have been happening more often is because the more the universe breaks, the more Actor loses control over everything, including Y/N.
He's spending most of his power on trying to keep his story from falling apart, which is why Y/N has started to act like their own person instead of a blank slate.

So I'm going through the motion of working on a Who Killed Markiplier rewrite/AU, thingy.
And I was debating giving my shameless insert of well, myself. A consistent tool he carries around as a means of fucking shit up should he find himself unable to rely on his powers.
Somehow I landed on the tactical shovel and there is no way in hell I'm changing that.
Because the mental image of just some, guy, pulling up to the interdimensional flame war going on with nothing but a shovel and a passion for violence is spectacular.
