Well, if it isn’t the truth
Mark: Haha you guys are goofs for looking so deeply into everything, not everything’s some sort of clue you know! “Lol look it’s Darkiplier” Don’t take things so seriously!
Mark after posting a sketch: you absolute fools. look at all this lore you missed. how could you not see it.
Me:
ALRIGHT. LISTEN UP.
So recently, I got calls from the phone number, (937) 353-8319. They claim to be a job service, and one of their “employees”, Carrigan, is friends with whoever the call recipient is, and that Carrigan has recommended you for this $15.00/h “job”. I also got a text message from (937) 607-1493, claiming to be Carrigan, and that they need stuff to “win a scholarship”. I do not know anyone by the name of Carrigan and I know very well that this is a very dangerous scam. If you receive a call from a number, and they ask you if you would like a job for $15.00/h, HANG UP IMMEDIATELY. If you accept the “job” offer, and you go in for an interview, they will give you a drugged bottle of water and you will wake up somewhere you don’t want to be. These phone calls & texts are from a human trafficking service, and if you oblige to them, you will be sold to people and you will be raped, no doubt about it. So PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT ANSWER THESE CALLS OR TEXTS. I have listened to the voicemails, and allowed my dad to do the same, and he learned that anyone offering a $15.00/h “job” is a human trafficker. PLEASE SIGNAL BOOST THIS ALL OVER TUMBLR

Personal.
I know that I have been keeping some things private, but… This needs to be shared.
Recently, my uncle was diagnosed with 3 types of cancer. Pancreatic, Esophageal and Lung. The situation is dire. My aunt is having a rough time, as well as everyone else. My cousin even thinks he’s not gonna last long.
I’ve known my uncle for the 20 years I’ve been on this earth. He and my aunt always welcomed us over when we visited, and he always was such a nice man. But…. Now the tides are turning. If I don’t post much, it’s because I’m mentally keeping myself afloat.
The future isn’t set in stone and we are trying to keep positive. Positive energies makes everyone happier.
I know I shouldn’t be mentioning people, but I realized my situation was much like @crankgameplays. We both have/had loved ones who are fighting/have fought this difficult illness.
I don’t ask much, but…. I may need positive vibes from everyone. I love you guys very much. If things go south… I’ll most likely be on hiatus.
He has a beautiful and wonderful wife, three amazing kids and over half a dozen grandchildren. His legacy is set and they all love him dearly.
I’m sorry to bring the news down, but…. I lost too many family members to cancer. I’m not wanting more to fall into that fate.
%100 true footage how i react
Tyler uploaded his first Youtube video.
…Please go watch it.. it’s very important to Tyler and give him the support.
I know i don’t normally tag people, because i don’t wanna be rude or annoying, but for this, i’m don’t care and i want to help spread this around, as tyler asks in the said video…
(@lum1natrix @markired @chase-brody-protection-squad @fear-is-nameless
For just this once… i’m not sorry for taggin yall… please let people know about this)
Let’s keep that positivity going and PMA our way through life! What do you say ;)?
@bri-doodles-art
Important!!
Even if you cannot afford the PMA merch at this time, that doesn’t make you any less of a fan nor does it mean you a lesser part of the community. The merch isn’t going anywhere there’s still time.
You can be a part of this community by continuing to spread PMA, watching videos, making fan art, and interacting with everyone. Don’t feel like you HAVE to buy it to be apart of this community. You’re just as important as everyone else.
Buying merch doesn’t define your status as a fan or place in the community.
A R T I S T S!
I wanna make a tag dedicated to the new PMA Merch!
I want you guys to draw yourself, wearing the PMA, hoodie, shirt, or pin! If you want to that is. Or simply take a picture of yourself wearing the merch, when it arrives that is. (lol)
I’ll contribute as well!

Wilford ‘MOTHERLOVING’ Warfstache
Well, that was certainly…interesting. I think it’s safe to say that this video is another @markiplier masterpiece, both from a production standpoint and a story standpoint, and I love all the little moments throughout this video that simultaneously answered old questions and yet brought up new ones.
SO, what I’m going to do in this post is share some of my observations, thoughts, and theories about this video and how it fits into the timeline. I’m going to do what I used to do with my WKM posts and just go through the video chronologically, and point out things that I think are worth mentioning/considering. At then end, I’ll try to wrap up my thoughts into a blanket theory, but keep in mind that that may be hard to do, considering all the different places this video went. With all that said, let’s get into it.
Abe Survives
Perhaps a bit irrelevant at this point since we’ve known from Mark’s past hints that Abe survived the gunshot in the manor for awhile now, but this is total confirmation that yes, he definitely survived that gunshot. During this intro segment, we learn a few interesting things.
We learn William’s full name…William J. Barnum.
We learn it’s been several years since the manor incident.
“I can’t count how many countries I’ve cornered him in. Could’t tell you how many times I’ve had him in my big strong hands.” <–Put a pin in this line, we’ll come back to it.
We also learn that as Abe has been chasing him, there have been a few things that always lead him to get close to Will. Drinking. Fighting. Flirting…and Dancing. All things that could be used as distractions…ways of forgetting the horrors of the past.
Wilford ‘MOTHERLOVING’ Warfstache
In this scene, we get the first glimpses of Wilford. From Abe’s words, we learn that Will has been going through many personas, but that this one, Wilford ‘Motherloving’ Warfstache, is the most eccentric yet.
We also get a glimpse of what time period this may be…I’m going to wager it’s meant to be a seventies disco club. So it’s not just been a few years since the manor…it’s been decades, as most of us pegged WKM for taking place in the late forties or early fifties.
So, Abe comes in and tries to apprehend Will. I find it noteworthy that while firing a shot makes most of the club’s attendees scatter, it doesn’t stop Will’s dancing. In fact, nothing does–
–nothing fazes him at all until the music stops. Only once the party stops does he sort of ‘come to.’ And what’s the first thing he says when he does?
“Do I know you, friend?”
He doesn’t remember Abe on sight, which clearly startles Abe. He cycles through several names, none of which are correct, and when Abe tries to arrest him for the murder of “way too many people to count,” Will adamantly states that he “would never kill anybody.” This is strikingly similar to his line in WKM “I didn’t kill anybody.”
This confirms our suspicions, that from ^^^THIS moment on, death lost all meaning for Will. <–Again, put a pin in that. I’ll come back to it.
Get out of my head
One taser shot later, we’re in Abe’s car, and this is when the weirdness really sets in. First off, I don’t think that this was just a clever editing trick to note a scene transition (though it’s up there on the list of awesome scene transitions Mark and Co. have been putting in ADWM and WKM). I think this moment is part of Wilford’s physics defying nature. He has already shown this a bit in the video, when Abe was talking to him here:
–but interestingly, Abe doesn’t quite notice at first. He also doesn’t notice the physics defying scene transition, but he does notice when Wilford (quite hilariously) starts responding to Abe’s inner monologue. And it freaks him out so much that he tazed Will again, unintentionally triggering another physics breaking moment. (I’ll talk more about the physics in a bit)
Name after Name
“William J. Butterfeel” “Wilson Jackson Bartholomew III” “Wingleheimer”
Abe thinks these are aliases. But I don’t think they are. I think that Will has forgotten his real name, which again is William J. Barnum. The first two ‘aliases’ are strikingly similar, same initials, and I think that Will was trying to make sense of his memories and put things together in his head. As he says later:
“Memories start to get jumbled after awhile. Sometimes I forget even the simplest of things.” He’s lost his grip on his mind, and he struggles to make sense of the pieces that are left.
I Remember You
Will only remembers Abe after Abe calls him a murderer. That is what triggers him and allows him to remember that night, what makes him look at the photos on the wall and recognize them. He recognizes everyone from the manor, saying that they all “look so young.” (To me this also confirms that this is decades later, from the 40s/50s to the 70s, there’s a noticeable difference in their appearances) He recognizes Celine, admits that he still has feelings for her, though adds that she’d probably ‘carve his heart out’ if she saw him. During this scene and the moments that follow, we see Will more lucid than we’ve seen him in a long time. HOWEVER, he is still not all there. And even though he remembers Abe, he doesn’t remember everything, at least not properly. Remember the pin about how death lost meaning for him?
“I wonder what he’s up to…have you seen him? Maybe I should stop by…”
He still thinks Damien is alive. He still thinks Celine is alive. He still thinks that he “didn’t kill anybody,” that he “would never kill anybody.” For as sane as he seems when he’s talking to Abe, the part of him that properly understands loss is gone forever.
How the hell do you keep doing that???
SO. I’m going to talk about how Will defies physics for awhile now.
From this moment in Mark on Darkiplier, we know that neither Dark nor Warfstache obey the laws of physics. And this video demonstrates Will’s complete lack of physicality better than anything we’ve ever seen. Throughout the entire interrogation in Abe’s office he’s appearing and disappearing, Mark and Co. using camera tricks and editing brilliantly to show how he’s moving without really showing us, and Abe’s startled responses all giving us clues.
Will is teleporting somehow, but when he does move, you don’t notice him move, you just realize that he’s gone, and then you see him where he is. That’s not just the camera, from how Abe reacts we know that that’s how it’s really happening. Especially from the scene in the club.
I’ve seen some people ask how Will could be in two places at once, but I maintain that he was not in two places at once, but that he was teleporting around, not obeying the laws of physics, but that Abe didn’t notice at first because he was so focused on catching him. Will is weird, and I get the feeling he’s like a mirage or illusion sometimes, you think you see him but if you properly focus you’ll see you were wrong.
Also, apparently Will’s breaking of the laws of physics isn’t just limited to the actual physical world, but involves the laws of time as well!
“Oh! The train! I remember the train…how long were we stuck in the snow for? … Oh, you don’t remember? Oh, it’s ok, it probably hasn’t happened yet.”
SOMETHING is up with the timeline. And Will…he knows that. He gives Abe a ‘spoiler’ for the train (which is a Murder on the Orient Express reference, just like WKM referencing some relevant literature with Will’s character), and when Abe starts to spiral and not understand, Will knows exactly what to ask him that will him see just how out of it they both are.
“What would you say our closest encounter was? Before this very moment right here?”
Pull out that very first pin from the beginning of this video y’all, cuz this is just some brilliant writing right here and I love it.
“I can’t count how many countries I’ve cornered him in. Could’t tell you how many times I’ve had him in my big strong hands.”
Abe wasn’t just being metaphorical for the sake of his dramatic narration. He. LITERALLY. Can’t count. He LITERALLY can’t say how many times he’s come close to catching Will, because he doesn’t know. Again, like a mirage, or if Doctor Who is more your thing, like a perception filter, he doesn’t realize it until it’s pointed out to him, but Abe doesn’t know where or when he is. He’s been so obsessed with chasing Will that he doesn’t realize what Will already knows, that something is very broken about the way they both are experiencing the world. When Abe tries to pinpoint what happened on the chase, Will asks “Three years? What year was that exactly?” knowing that Abe won’t be able to answer.
Life Needs a Bit of Madness
Of course, Will can’t necessarily answer either. As he said a bit before this, when Abe asked What the hell is going on? : “I don’t…really know. Honestly I don’t understand anything anymore.” But despite this, Will doesn’t view himself or Abe as crazy.
(screencap of gif by @spdys)
Abe knows that what’s happening is impossible, that it’s impossible to know things that haven’t happened yet.
And so does Will.
“Just like it’s impossible to survive a bullet through the heart.”
When Abe realizes that he shouldn’t have survived, he starts to drift away again, but Will pulls him back, and says "It was a bit of a shock for me too. Life needed a bit of madness, but why should death be any different?”
This is where things get confusing. I’ve seen some people suggest that what’s happening is actually all in some sort of hell or purgatory. The first person I saw mention it was @craayon-clouds, in their post here, and directly after that I saw one by @roserocks01 in their Purgatory Theory, where they propose that Abe’s spirit refused to move on after being shot in WKM and is still obsessed with the case and chasing Will. And while the Purgatory Theory is certainly a possibility…I think there’s something else going on here.
I believe that both Abe and Will are alive…in some fashion. Maybe not fully, it’s really hard to say. We’re still so unclear on what the entity in the manor is capable of, but we’ve had so much evidence, from the end of WKM when Abe says “Colonel…you’d better run” to the hints in the DDLC play through that “Abe didn’t die” to the fact that Will himself never was dealt a fatal blow, all of this says to me that both Abe and Will are alive in this story. So if they’re alive…then why did Will say “why should death be any different?”
I think that Will thinks that they’re dead. Maybe not all the time, and maybe not all of him, but part of him definitely thinks they’re dead. Because what’s happening is impossible, he knows that. It doesn’t make sense, and he knows that, he has these moments of lucidity that just…break through and shed so much light onto everything. But when he’s in those moments of lucidity, he realizes how ridiculous everything is, and assumes that they must be dead, because they can’t be alive, that makes no sense at all?
But here’s the thing…he doesn’t really care.
And he doesn’t think we should either.
Right here, he’s talking to Abe.
“But I think the stress is getting to you a little bit. You need to unwind, you’re, you’re a freshly born fawn-”
THEN
in the middle of this line, the camera shifts. The whole video has been shot in a traditional style with back and forth shots, cuts, edits, etc. But as Will is finishing this line, it cuts back to the ADWM and WKM camera style of being in perfect first person; Mark is looking directly into the camera. Directly at us.
“-trying to find its legs in a world that doesn’t make sense. So just for tonight, let’s forget about all the chasing and the killing and the shooty-shooty bang bang GAH! you’re a murderer! Just for tonight…”
“…why don’t we have a little fun?”
Will knows his life is ruined, he even thinks he might be dead, he knows that nothing makes sense anymore. But instead of facing that, he choses to forget. He ignores his warped reality and forgets it by
Drinking…
Fighting…
Flirting…
and Dancing.
Wilford knows the details don’t make sense, but he’s oddly at peace with that. He can see bits of the bigger picture, and unlike us Abe, who is obsessed with the little details, he is content to let the ‘beauty’ of the uncertainty wash over him. And the video (and in my mind, Abe’s character arc) ends when Abe finally accepts the same mindset, and chooses to forget, rather than pursue the ‘truth.’
Mark told us this video would be about friendship
And it sort of was. Will clearly views Abe as a friend, even apologizes to him for what happened. And, the way I interpret it anyway, it is that ‘friendship’ that fully solidified Will’s identity as Wilford Warfstache.
This video is really the birth of Wilford Warfstache. For years, Will had been going through identity after identity, all variations of his real name. But after Abe accepted his offer to just forget their troubles, to have fun, to put on a mask…
…only then does Will stop changing names every few years. Only then does he truly take the name
There’s so much still that we don’t know, and I’m probably not done posting about this, so stay tuned for more thoughts, but that’s my TL;DR statement, I suppose. “This video shows us the moment that Will truly became Wilford Warfstache”
Ok so...
...Are we not talking about that very Darkiplier-like glitch that happened when Will put his wig back on and said “... And just for tonight, why don’t we have a little fun?”?
back when i was suicidal in high school the tiniest things would make me want to kill myself but also the most trivial things would stop me
i remember looking at a bottle of sleeping pills and going “i’m going to kill myself. i’m not going to get out of this town. i’m not going to be able to get into a good college” and then i would go “but wait! if you die tonight, you won’t be there when they invent time travel. what if you die tonight and aliens land tomorrow and you miss it. the entire world would change and you would miss it.” “ah, yes. good point. i’ll wait until next week to die. once i’m dead i’m dead, so i can wait a little longer to see if something cool happens before then.”
it never did but it brought me back from killing myself until i started seeing a psychologist and got on antidepressants
Top of the mornin’ to ya, Anti!
