MY ALTRVERSE COMIC ARRIVED AND I WANNA TALK ABOUT IT
marvin's first scene being saving a bruce wayne rip-off is SO funny to me
i cant believe they made marvin british. hope he gets better soon
MARVIN'S HAIR TURNING GREEN WHEN HE USES MAGIC IS SO COOL ACTUALLY. and also it looks like he drew the electricity directly from his phone and the lamp behind him so i guess he cant produce it entirely on his own?
marvin is so sassy and tired(tm) i love him so much hes so me
THE TWINS. i like the twins. i cant wait to learn more about them
THE SCREAM I SCRUMPT WHEN I SAW THE IRIS LOGO ON THE DEAD GUY'S SLEEVE OOOOOO
i wonder if marvin and chase exist in the same universe or if anti is fucking with an iris facility in a completely separate universe cuz that is SO him. maybe hes breaking out of this one in marvin's world and then moving across to chase's??
going off of that i wonder if every ego has their own universe they exist in or if some of them share universes. it all depends if this comic is going with the idea that all the egos are different versions of one another, cuz then they cant rly share one world together. i think schneep (??? possibly) is in jackie's world but thats shown later so ill talk abt it when i get there
forget the twins i like the whole magic circle in general. i want MORE. i wanna know about marvin's mentor figure too. is he. is he the cat. did he turn into a cat. whats going on here
TOP OF THE MORNING COFFEE SPOTTED
Tumblr media
idk what to say here i just like this shot a lot
Tumblr media
okay now into the jackie section. the "doctor" they mention instantly made me think of schneep but that might just be me seeing what i want to see. i guess it could still apply that every alter has their own universe since what the doctor did was "felt across realities", so ??
the figure floating at the centre of the ripple. i got nothin. maybe its how anti was made?????
JACKIE BEING FROM BOSTON MAKES SOOOO MUCH SENSE LIKE ACTUALLY
he's so silly
Tumblr media
the whole robot section. also so silly
jackie's whole side of the comic is just silliness ngl. marvin is over there investigating a body and then it cuts to jackie and he's just trying to deliver his uber eats on time
AND THEN SUDDENLY ZOMBIES????
bonus points for the godslap bad egg ads at the back of the comic cuz by god have i been considering getting them this might just convince me
to summarize. i love this comic i love everything about it thank u seán i cant wait for more <333 jackie and marvin have my entire heart and im so excited to see their stories play out

Tumblr media

For when the ALTRverse comics come out, I will be using:
#altrverse spoilers
#void silver spoilers
#jackieboy spoilers
to filter any spoilers out from anyone who wants to blacklist them! I'll use the ALTRverse one for all of them, and the respective ego/titles shown above for each as I see them.
Remember to declare and tag your spoilers, peeps! o7

The Unreliable Narrators of
The Somewhat Incredible Jackie-Boy Man & Void Silver
And their capacity to deceive us in the future.
Tumblr media
Dramatic Youtube Thumbnail lol
Major #0 spoilers
Gotta say, I really love when a story comes with a sister story with it, this being the two Altrverse comics. As I personally love having two texts to compare and contrast, as it can really help highlight what they share, what's different, and what's missing.
And wow there is some things in each story that look a lot more suspicious due to their sister text existing.
While Sister Stories do many things, in this case it highlights the unreliable narrators of each text. I hope after this look into these aspect, and if these aspects continue into the next comics, will implore you to keep an eyebrow raise in regards to Marvin and Jackie.
But first, what is an unreliable narrator? At the most basic, an unreliable narrator is a storyteller whose perspective isn't totally reliable if we want to get the full picture. They can be intentional, unintentional, aim to wrongfully mislead or give a happier story. But even unreliable narrators with good intention still can alter the story to its viewers in a way that will lead us to the wrong conclusions.
Now do I think the Volume #0 are unreliable? Not really, but it had the capacity to be, which means in future comics, they may become more and more unreliable.
I will explore how each comic is unreliable by the perspective of each story and what we are shown (or more importantly not shown).
First we'll start with
Perspective: Who is their story being told by?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
From the first page of The Somewhat Incredible Jackie-Boy Man, and by the second page of Void Silver, it is already establish that these narratives will be unreliable.
First we have Jackie. Who straight out of the gate acknowledges the viewer.
SO LET'S JUST GET OUT THERE--
And continues to narrate the rest of his story.
Now this probably doesn't seem important at first, don't a lot of comics do that? Spiderman does it! Which TSIJBM draws inspiration from. But remember what I said about Sister Stories? While this doesn't seem strange when by itself, it's strange when you look at VS.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Unlike TSIJBM, who has Jackie address the viewer, we instead have a completely different character, Higgins the Cat, introduce Marvin to us. And boy does Higgins know we're watching.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So while in TSIJBM, Jackie introduces himself to us, in VS, Higgins introduced Marvin to us.
Giving us two different protagonists, Jackie, who knows he's telling a story, and in the role of storyteller, and Marvin, unaware his story is being told and the role of storyteller belongs to Higgins.
This shows that these stories have unreliable narrators.
Shown: What do we get see?
This is also evident in the structure of the comics.
In TSIJBM, the entire story we are following Jackie, as we get his input and thoughts. The only exception being the first couple pages and the final couple panels. This also limits what we see of Jackie. As we only see what he sees/cares about, having an entire page dedicated to his thought process, because he decided that to be of most important than what else is going on around him. His story is heavily skewed by his perspective of things. Which seems to be a theme in TSIJBM, as he mistakes CyberMass' demo to be a Robot Apocalypse. We even have a minor time skip in the comic with a flashback, as we see why JBM was late to an order, but this flashback is used to bring out sympathy. It's why we only see him come out of the dumpster, not into it, it's what is more important to recall to him.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
This is oppose to VS, where we don't follow Marvin the entire time, he's not even in his first page. And have an entire section dedicated to the Twins. You could say it's still Marvin's perspective because he learns of what the Twins do, but we don't learn it at the same time as Marvin. We see what happens and he learns afterwards. If we saw him go home, pick up the mask, and then see what the twins did, that would be more accurate to Marvin's experience. But Marvin, while the protagonist of his comic, is not the narrator, which belongs to Higgins. And so we see in the order of how Higgins wants us to see.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Higgins controls the perspective in Marvin's narrative. Jackie controls his own.
This means Jackie has the capacity to deceive the viewer in TSIJBM. Will he? Well we don't know him well enough in this version to know for sure. But we need to know he does have that card at his disposal.
But Higgins has the capacity to decisive the viewer in VS, and a part of me feels like he wouldn't be above that. What is especially interesting though is that it makes Marvin's story appear a lot more authentic, due to his lack of knowledge of his story being told, as we need to worry more of what Higgins shows us of Marvin.
All of this shows how Jackie is the narrator of his story, whilst Higgins is the narrator of Marvin's, both storytellers having the ability to mislead us in the future. We've already touch on a bit about what is shown in each narrative due to their narrators. But Great Sister stories highlight what they don't show.
Shown: Marvin doesn't think
Tumblr media
There is almost 0 thought bubbles in VS. I implore you to look yourself. The only thing resembling a thought bubble is Marvin recalling what was mention in the previous pages and the statement that "Everything this masks sees, it records", which doesn't seem to be his own thoughts but just recalling statements said to him.
There are pages in VS, where if Jackie was in the situation, would be scattered with thought bubbles, like the two pages of Jackie moving while he comments on social aspects that dehumanises people. But there is none in VS. This makes sense of course, Higgins is the narrator, not Marvin, why would Higgins know what Marvin is thinking? He at best can show us what he's doing, or doesn't want us to know what Marvin's thinking.
This does highlight that Jackie is his own narrator with the lack of though bubbles in VS, if thought bubbles are a tool only for the storyteller. I mean look at these pages and tell me it wouldn't have thought bubbles if Marvin was the narrator.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
If this was in TSIJBM, we would probably see Marvin's thoughts of frustration, not just his face.
This page especially.
Tumblr media
We didn't know why Marvin recognised the insignia until later, when Higgins showed us a flashback. Because we don't know Marvin's thoughts.
So while Marvin is more authentic than JBM, he's more secretive, not of his own volition, but because he's not his own narrator.
While they aren't both unreliable narrators, since Marvin isn't his own, they are both unreliable protagonist. One which can alter his own story, the other which has his thoughts concealed.
Similar to how there is a theme for Jackie of his perspective being skewed to what he deems reality is, there is a theme of Marvin just not knowing what's actually happening, having to rely on others to inform him (Sunday, his mask, Ramesses). Marvin is a lot less aware that he's in a story and his role in his own story.
The viewer can only trust what Jackie decided is more important for us, and the viewer has to be informed by Higgins what is important for us. This makes both comics of TSIJBM and VS have unreliable narrators, and that we should be careful at taking everything at face value in the future.
I have no clue if these aspect will continue in #1, perhaps these things only a apply to #0. But is they do continue in the next comics, I hope this has help you approach the next comic with more suspicion.
Thanks for reading. And remember that you can't always trust what is shown.

Dear viewers, as a reminder as shipping date comes closer for the comics
I will not be posting anything related to the comics! You will not see spoilers from me
If you want to avoid spoilers as well I recommend going into settings and blocking the words “ALTRverse” and “Altrversespoilers”
To access that: Settings -> General Settings -> Filtering -> Add tags to filter them out of your feed

Quick reminder that if you post ALTRverse spoilers untagged and/or without a spoiler warning, I will be blocking you until I receive my own comic! There's a thing called HUMAN DECENCY.
On this topic, I will also be filtering the #ALTRverseSpoilers and #ALTRverse tags starting today, and my account will stay spoiler-free! If I do post about the comic, it will have a spoiler warning on it with the appropriate tags!
Thanks! have a good day/night!

Iplier Falls
Authors Note: 
Hello hello and welcome back! ( Or if you’re here for the first time, I’m glad you chose to check this fic out! Welcome! ) Never thought you’d see a rewrite of Gravity Falls x Iplier Inc in 2024, huh? The ALTRVerse comic has given me the motivation to get back into Markiplier Lore and hence I’m here!
This is the prologue and hence it's just a test to see how people react to it. If people react well, I'll put the story up on AO3 and make more chapters!
Some things to note about this fic: 
It’s an X Reader and the reader is indeed the District Attorney from Who Killed Markiplier! ( So, obviously, WKM spoilers ahead! ) 
This is a Dark x Reader specifically. 
This fic is in the second person and the reader is gender neutral! 
Genderfluid Dark is canon in this fic, so I’ll be using He/She/They for Dark. 
In Space With Markiplier will also be incorporated, so spoilers for that as well. 
This story will follow the Gravity Falls story, but there’ll be added story for episodes revolving around the Pines family specifically. 
This story contains things like profanity, blood, near death experiences, talk of mortality/death, and angst! 
Tag List: @a-frozen-bag-of-corn @crazy-obsessed-enby @lunariasilver ( Not sure if any of you remember this series, but I figured I’d keep up the tag list! ) 
Without further adieu, I hope you enjoy it! 
—-------------------------------------------------------
“What has he done to you?” 
They looked so familiar. Like a far away dream. 
“Captain, you can’t possibly listen to this monster! You can’t trust him!” Mark yelled.
“My little monster, I beg of you. Open your eyes. He takes away all that you love.” She begged. 
That name.. It was like a puzzle piece. Everything snapped back into place in an instant. You weren’t a captain! You went to school for law, not to be the captain of a spaceship. 
“.. Damien?” You whispered. 
“Ugh, you’re just impossible!” Mark snapped, “How am I supposed to make the perfect story if all you do is mess it up!” 
You couldn’t help but tense up at the sudden change in tone. That was right, this wasn’t your trusted second in command. This was a man long gone, a man permanently warped by the manor. 
He twirled his cane in a clean and swift motion, aiming it towards you. 
“I’ll just have to make sure you don’t remember any of this.” He threatened. 
Dark intercepted Mark’s attempt with his sword, pushing Mark back a few feet. 
“Not on my watch. Never again.” 
Mark simply laughed, “The hero always wins. It’s the only way the story can go.” 
Dark simply grit their teeth in response, slashing the sword against Mark’s chest. Although it barely grazed, it was enough to catch him off guard. 
You watched as the two went head to head, being able to do nothing to stop either side. Even if you were willing to get in the way of the two, you had no weapon or no powers to do anything. 
Actor sputtered as Dark tore open a gash across his chest. His blood was red, but not the usual type of red. Bright red, instead of crimson. Actor was caught off guard for just a second until he scrambled back, unsheathing his cane. 
You’re sorry. Unsheathing his cane? That was insane! What was even more insane was the fact that the bottom of the cane was a dark red double sided axe. Dark seemed just as caught off guard as you were, as Mark obtained a window to slash her in the chest.
“Dark!” You called out. 
He only spared a moment to look your way, with a look in their eyes signaling that they were alright before attacking Mark once again. SImilar to Mark, her blood was an inky black. Something inspired Dark to go full force, you weren’t sure if it was you or the entire revenge pledge. 
He pierced Mark in the heart with their sword as Mark sputtered, that sickly red spilling out of his chest. He didn’t say anything after that, only heavy and labored breathing being heard from the previously lively body. 
“We best be going. The Snake never stays dead for long.” Dark said. 
You didn’t say anything as she opened a portal similar to the ones you’d seen as the captain of The Invincible. Except, it looked a bit like the Noir universe. A combination of black, white, and grey. You simply followed him inside the portal. What other choice did you have? Stay in this void until Mark’s body inevitably rose from the dead? The old Homo Necrosis didn’t sound like a fun route to go down. 
Which led you to where you are now. A sleepy town named Gravity Falls. Dark had said that the laws of the town would cover up the tracks of you two, making it harder for Mark to find you again. You still had quite a few strong words for Dark, considering he trapped you in a mirror for decades, but that was the thing. It had been decades. You didn’t know what else to do other than follow them. Mark was obviously a no-go. 
“Please, call me Dark.” He had said, “Damien and Celine are both.. Long dead. I have an apartment set up in the town, we can stay there until we know how to deal with The Snake properly.” 
“Okay.” You said, “In that case, call me Captain. The person I used to be died in that house.”
She simply nodded, “As you wish.” 
The two of you had been wandering around the town when you spotted a hiring sign for a tourist attraction. 
“We could work here.” You said, “We need some way of paying rent, right?” 
Dark hummed in thought, “It couldn’t hurt, I suppose.” 
You strolled into the attraction with Dark following close behind. You spotted an older man shuffling money while standing at the cash register. He was probably the owner, right?
“Excuse me, are you the owner?” You asked. 
He nodded, “What’s it to ya? You’re not the government, are you?” 
“No, no, nothing like that.” You said. A little like that, but you weren’t going to tell him that.
“My friend and I heard you were hiring.” 
“Great! You’re hired. Call me Mr. Pines.” He said, “You start tomorrow.”
“We’ll be there!” You smiled, as you walked back outside to talk to Dark in semi private. 
“Have you learned nothing from your district attorney days?” He teased, “Truly, though, that man was a bit too eager.” 
“Hey, it’s a job, isn’t it?” You shrugged, “Times have changed.”
“That they have.” She nodded, “Would you like to get some champagne? As a little celebration.”
“Really? Just like we used to? Even after everything that’s happened?” You raised an eyebrow. 
“Especially after everything that’s happened.” Dark said. 
You simply smiled in response as the two of you walked down the road to a nearby bar. You weren’t sure if he had said anything else to you, you were too consumed in your own thoughts. This seemed too easy, after everything that had happened. 
You were a district attorney. One that got shot at a party held by Mark himself. You didn’t blame William. Mark set everything up. A bitter man who fell victim to insanity. You had considered resenting Dark for what they did, but at the same time.. 
You knew deep down that this was a best scenario, as shitty as it was. You wouldn’t have survived. Of course Damien would pick his sister over you, even if you were close. You would’ve done the same. You did die, after all. Your time was up. 
Mark just couldn’t let you stay dead, could he? Pulling you into his games, forcing you to be his partner, his love interest. That was the thing. Dark had tried to reach you so many times, but you never remembered. Until now. What was different? Was the space adventure a finale of sorts? Was Mark’s grasp on you finally slipping? You didn’t know. 
“... Captain..”
“Captain.”
“Captain!”
You snapped back into reality, as Dark held you by the shoulders, attempting to ground you.
“Are you alright?” She asked, eyebrows knitted together.
“Yeah.. Yeah, I’m okay.” You sighed, “Just.. thinking.”
“Yeah? About what?” They raised an eyebrow. 
“He.. He really did take away everything from us. What’s the point of it all?” You asked.
He didn’t respond at first, hugging you tightly. 
“Making sure that bastard stays dead.”
