I feel like we don't talk enough abt the fact that the U.S.A can fucking see into alternative universes so casually and not break anything abt the universe in the process

do y’all think the USA acronym was intentional, like they were searching for combinations of words that had those initials, or did mark just go ‘and the universal stability agency-- OH SHIT!! vaguely-political-but-not-quite-enough-for-starting-a-twitter-war joke time >:3′

making up lore for my dinner in my head
so we often try new recipes from Pinterest and are trying to incorporate more vegan/vegetarian meals for nutritional, environmental, and cost reasons, yes? except. in my experience. vegan meals are extremely hit-or-miss
this one was a miss
like, they're supposed to be crispy chickpea hamburger type things. and they're supposed to be spicy.
they are mostly just wet and bland.
however. something about the textural and taste combination has me like Hold On. This is it. I've discovered intergalactic cafeteria slop.
POV: You are the Captain, (re)visiting the USA to officially establish humanity, now that the whole wormhole business has been sorted out. Perhaps the wait is going to be very long. Perhaps you're a little anxious at facing Lady without knowing how much they are going to remember about What Happened. So you end up at the cafeteria. And the thing is, the cafeteria can only serve so many dishes, but it's got to have something for every single species working at the USA. And like, you don't want to use anything wildly toxic to one species at all. This means it has a limited pool of ingredients to work with.
So you get these. Corn-chickpea patties with Some Kind Of Sauce. They are a solid 3/10. You do not particularly want to eat them, but they are inoffensive. The novelty of eating Intergalactic Cafeteria Slop is the main reason you finish your plate.

I just remembered between ISWM Pt 1 and 2 I was thinking about the U.S.A and Dark and came up this great idea I knew would never happen but still wrote it down in my notes:
ISWM AU WHERE DARK IS HEAD OF THE USA. I think it’s a brilliant idea tbh. SO MANY POSSIBILITIES AND THE MAN GETS ACTUAL POWER. Last time he had power like this he was Mayor. Rip rest in piece king you deserved better babygirl Damien.
Do not ask me HOW he got that position. He just HAS it now. Allu probs met him at one point while jumping through different timelines. Yknow. AU excuses.

Hi! This is the anon with the ISWM egos and Y/N running into Y/Ns mean ex, and here to clarify! Yes the egos that made appearances!
(I hope this anon isn't taken but I'll shoot for the moon)
- SleepyBlu Anon
Oh okay! Just wanted that cleared up but ty!
Request: Hi I’m new to this, but could I request ISWM egos with their S/O and like running into S/O’s ex. S/O’s ex ain’t a nice person and S/O is uncomfortable, the boys to the rescue!
Engineer, Actor, Dark, Wilford, Yancy, Illinois, Jim, & Heehoo will be featured!
..............
Engineer Mark
Your ex so-happens to be USA receptionist.
They recognize you before you can state your inquiries and makes a subtle jab at both of you, especially upon learning you’re a captain.
“Wow, so you can keep a crew together but not a relationship?”
This pisses off Mark SO much. He can’t tolerate this disrespect to his captain and partner.
His anger becomes scary as he punches the table and demands they take your concerns more seriously.
After getting answers he leaves with you, still huffy but makes sure you’re alright.
“If they were in the crew, I’d eject them from the airlock myself..” He grumbles.
Actor
Oh boy.
If he so much as recognizes your ex he’s gonna flip out. Doesn’t matter if it’s in public or there’s only a few people around.
He’ll drag them away from you before they can utter a single word and have a “nice chat”.....which is really just him snapping at them and being like “you’re lucky I’m out on parole or else I’d KILL you right now!”
You don’t know what exactly he said but, they haven’t tried contacting you since then.
He spoils you afterwards to cheer you up <3
Dark
He doesn’t wanna cause a huge scene.
So he’ll just stare at your ex angrily while keeping you close to him, allowing the high-pitched ringing to fill their head.
He’s the best at intimidation so it doesn’t take long for them to be scared off.
After that he makes sure you’re okay, knowing very well what it’s like to be hurt by those he once trusted.
If they come back he definitely won’t hold back and resort to tormenting them in the void since they didn’t learn their lesson the first time.
Wilford
He takes shit from nobody.
Especially a stupid ex who questions your taste in men.
There’s a 75% chance you can stop him from shooting/stabbing them, but he’ll still find a way to screw with their mind.
Like getting inside their head and saying random bs or just teleporting around them to confuse them (like he does in WMLW).
Eventually they leave after calling him a freak, though he just rolls his eyes.
“Jeez, to think you dated that before me? Let’s get some drinks.”
Yancy
Will most definitely punch them if they say some rude shit about you.
“Lmao you’re so desperate for love you’ll take in a criminal-?”
*SMACK*
“At least I treat ‘em better than you any day!!!”
You literally cannot stop Yancy from leaving them with a bloody nose even if you tried and said “violence isn’t the answer”.
He may have given up the stabbing but there’s no way he’s ever gonna give up fighting for you tooth and nail <3
Illinois
Out of all the Ipliers he’s probably the most calm about it.
You honestly didn’t think he was so committed to your relationship until you saw the way he stood up to your ex.
Gentle yet firm so that they leave you alone.
Humorously enough, they barely have a defense bc wow--how did you manage to snag someone as fine as him???
So they finally do leave and it warms your heart, knowing he took this relationship seriously.
Jim
Honestly?
The whole Jim nation would be on your ex’s ass if they got within a five mile radius of you and don’t back off.
(Similar to Wilford) They think he’s a goddamn weirdo and you’ve lowered your standards to rock bottom.
Which leads to Jim interrogating them on what they knew about the statistics of relationships or...something like that.
Either way he gets them to leave with his eccentric ways being too much for them to handle.
Heehoo
After a lot of rehabilitation you both started dating again. Though he’s still drawn to the woods, so you’ll go on frequent walks together.
Unfortunately that’s where you meet your ex who’s on a hike.
“Wow you’ve chosen this hobo over me, huh?” They sneer.
Heehoo sees how upset they’re making you, so he just...growls and eventually scares them off after chasing them into the woods. 
Once he returns he makes sure you’re okay.
His actions made you laugh, confusing him, though you reassure him you appreciate what he did.

I'd like to make an announcement, Murder Mark is the Drowned Man and I HAVE PROOF DAMMIT.
Tumblr media
You see this little man? Huh? You see that pin on his jacket?
Tumblr media
Huh, that's weird, it looks like those chemical symbol things, right? Those funky structural formulas? It looks awfully similar to the only diagrams I could find for the structural formula of water!! And what is the Drowned Man known for?
Tumblr media
That's right, water.
NOT TO MENTION THE FACT THAT before the USA site was taken down (around the time ISWM Part 2 was released), one of the directories lead to the Drowned Man!
Additionally, their clothing styles are very similar! It's practically the same turtleneck sweater and suit jacket, just with MM's addition of the pin and the necklace! Plus, they both have dark sunglasses! (And have the same hairstyle, just mirrored, shhh)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
There is no doubt in my mind that they're the same person. The Drowned Man is just a funny little water demon who curses people's houses with flooding and does murder on the side as a treat.

Engineer Tattoo Lore™
hello!! welcome to my brain dump concerning the Star Boy and his Tattoos
(fyi: these aren’t all of em that i think he has,,)
putting this under a read more bc it got long.. 
Chica
his beloved pupper, because of course he would
may have gotten it when he was drunk but doesn’t regret it for a moment
The Little Dipper - Has a bit more backstory, first tattoo he ever got
He had a great relationship with his grandfather, a pilot. Mark used to spend the summers with him.
Where his grandpa lived, it was one of the very few spots where light pollution was almost non-existent in the 2050s.
When he was 5 or 6, Mark gawked at the night sky, not for the first time and certainly not the last. But he asked “What’s that?” as he pointed to Ursa Minor.
His grandfather explained to him about the vastness of space. That giant balls of gas millions and millions of miles away just happened to line up into that shape. 
“Woah...” and he never stopped that wonder.
So in memory of his grandfather passing, and the spark that started his journey learning about Space, Mark got the constellation tattooed.
6.626 - Planck’s Constant (rounded & not in scientific form bc it would be too long if not shhhh) 
Got it the 2nd year of University.
It seems so simple but he literally couldn’t remember the number for the life of him. Especially under the pressure of tests.
It’s on the inside of his arm and during his 3rd year finals, his professor saw it. Thought he was cheating and nearly expelled him on the spot.
Had to spend 5 minutes trying to convince the proctor that he could not, in fact, scrub it off.
The Captain, who had a front row seat to this exchange, makes fun of him for it to this day.
Still sneaks a look at it sometimes for ship calculations.
Ophiuchus (with the words “per aspera ad astra” below it)
the constellation Ophiuchus contains Barnard’s Star, the second closest star system to Earth. (besides Alpha Centauri, but i felt that was a bit obvious and overplayed in space colony media)
Maybe that’s where the Invincible was headed/ended up landing. Maybe it’s just the symbolic nature of colonizing the stars.
up to this point, this is Mark’s reason for getting it. Everything past this is my own lil Lore injection bare with me
The constellation itself is a man grasping a snake. From what I’ve found, the interpretation fluctuates between the man gipping the snake violently or just holding it and showing it off.
I see this as a metaphor for the whole Engineer isn’t Actor, Actor might be Engineer debacle, with a power dynamic shift that i really like: Actor not in control/being “tamed”
Anyways
“Invincible” (in the USA language)
Got after the events of ISWM. Not that he could ever forget the adventure, but the word had new meaning to him now. Small and on the inside of his wrist.
The Captain has a matching one on their opposite wrist (the hands they were holding in the Hold On sequence)

Man. not iswm making me wanna write again I’ll literally die if I write for it but just like-
Thinkin about Mark and the Captain dealing with post-time loop trauma on the colony.
Some job needs to get done on the colony and someone casually is like “lol just send mark to do it” and the captain just. Freezes. absolutely refuses and cannot be convinced.
they always keep a fire extinguisher nearby. Checks windows for cracks even when they’re not in space anymore. The ships voice is like the default OS like Siri or something and they HATE it they get an old fashioned alarm clock as soon as humanly possible.
Mark straight cannot handle being alone for too long. Will still talk to himself and leave notes around and everyone’s like “haha it’s an engineer thing” except the Captain who Knows. They try to stick together. Chica is a good substitute if they can’t be there.
mark double and triple and quadruple checks everything he builds for the colony from here to eternity and won’t let anything get turned on without the captains final approval, because he doesn’t trust his judgement anymore
Despite being super fuckin tired neither of them sleeps for a little while cuz they’re scared of waking up back on the ship. They practically drain the colony’s Coffee supply within the first year.
Lots of late nights trading stories abt what they went through.
they both got guilt over everything and are gonna have fuckin complexes over it. “Everything was my fault” “no everything was my fault” “if I wasn’t so stubborn I wouldn’t have tried to kill you” “I’m the captain I made all the choices I’m responsible” “I literally built the thing-“ ad infinitum
choice paralysis. Big choice paralysis. Doesn’t matter if it’s some big important decision or something as little as what to eat for breakfast, because anything could change or doom the timeline.
ZERO self preservation instinct. Is it survivors guilt? Forgetting they won’t go back anymore? Tired of existence? Yes.
additionally having to get used to actions having consequences again. Not even dangerous ones just like, don’t randomly be a dick to people for funsies.
*~*~Nightmares~*~*
they both feel way older than they look. Plenty of phantom aches and pains from all the deaths.
on the bright side, higher pain tolerance! On the downside, that combined with the low self preservation leads to some moments where the rest of the crew and colony kinda freak out because??? Oh my god??? Why would you try to fight this hostile alien with just your fists???
Also if mark remembers you cannot tell me lady wouldn’t remember. She def remembers. If the USA ever comes to the colony it will be very awkward. Lots anxiety and fear of getting shot. Lots of bad memories. Hopefully some apologies. I think they should be friends.
bandit may also remember but she’s coping better. Slightly. Like it’s a low bar to clear but she deals a lot better thanks to a mix of denial and just going through a lot less loops.

Iswm Goodnight post
eh idk sleepy times x you ig
Imagine sleeping on a bed inside the ship, orbiting the planet as your home, the captain needs to stay with the ship so they can contact the USA on updates
imagine the gentle sounds of updates on the walkie by your bed and snuggled up to you is the one person who managed to woo the hot captain,
Imagine their gently breathing into your chest, or alternatively heart beating while you lay on their chest.
imagine their gentle confessions of love as you both slip into sleep, thankful that this hell is over
@yourthoughtsjim
I’ll make you a Mack one later maybe if you give me snuggle ideas and hc’s for your favorite crew and or dictator

Besides stuff related to building the colony on the new planet, what are the first things your captain makes sure to do after the events of ISWM?
Tumblr media
they're in no state to do much of anything for a while.
they remember every perilous moment of the wormhole, but they don't know how much anyone else remembers and they're utterly terrified to ask. even if they know, logically, that the danger is over, they still remember what happened every time they tried to point out the wormhole to anyone (namely mack and bomb defusal mark blinking out of existence before their very eyes.)
but besides the colony, they fling most of their effort at strengthening the colony's communication array, looking for extraterrestrial signals. they're looking for any sign of...well, anyone they met in the wormhole, but specifically the USA just to go "hey is everything cool? like did all the paradox shit get reset or is half the multiverse fucking destroyed still? and if its the latter should i like go to prison for that? what's the DEAL? DO I GO TO PRISON OR THERAPY????? HELP PLEASE"

For my first run through of ISWM Part 2 (SPOILERS):
If you don’t choose to tell Mark it’s okay and hug him at the sobbing part, what is wrong with you
I jest but seriously my first instinct is to comfort
When in doubt, turn left - so I took all lefts at first lol
If Actor!Mark ignites visceral rage every time I see him, then Engineer!Mark ignites every protective instinct I have
He’s an idiot your honor, but a Captain’s best friend
I think both me/us/The Captain has some fault, as does Engineer!Mark, AND the USA lady. We all kinda dropped the ball at parts
Old man Engineer is like a man stranded at an old lighthouse, to help those lost at sea
THE BOOKS THO EARLY ON
I picked horror because I don’t like romance lol
Damien/Dark you smug bastard show your face
I have to many thoughts honestly, and I’m enjoying seeing the other parts I missed. Just. This has been fantastic. I’ve been through too many emotions today and I kinda want to fist-fight Mark in a parking lot while also lauding his creativity and skill. Everyone involved was amazing!!! Thank you to everyone who had a part ^u^

good morning Markiplier enablers
Specifically, Apple users. Apple users, I’m talking to you.
Our non-Apple-user brethren have gotten the podcasts to the top of the Spotify charts, but who knows how long they can hold that line. 
On Apple Podcasts, Distractible is stuck at the bottom of the top ten.
Go! is stuck in 3rd place.
But you? You, an Apple user? You can help change this.
Open Apple Podcasts. Find the podcasts -- they’re right near the top now, it’s easy. Subscribe. Stream. Download. Leave a review maybe. We need you NOW!

My #1 post of 2022
current standings: On Spotify, Distractible is at #9 and Go! is at #11 in sports. On Apple Podcasts, Distractible is at #142 and Go! is at #99 in sports.
To recap, our goal is for all of those numbers to read #1. The data suggest it's easier to affect the Spotify standings, so if you have an Apple device, focus your efforts there!
Go! has a smaller listener-ship, but the goal is proportionally smaller, so I’m not certain if there’s a marked advantage to focusing on it. Obviously, the recommendation of where to focus will change as we approach the goals.
As for recruiting new listeners, it’s all about target audience: Go! is likely to be less widely appealing than Distractible’s general humor, so when in doubt I’d go with Distractible. I wouldn’t try to hook new listeners on both right now; no need to split their investment.
Here's a list of things we know to affect podcast charts:
Subscribing to the podcast
Downloading the episodes
Actually listening to the episodes
“Adoption rate” - how quickly people check out a new episode. Distractible drops at 12 AM PT / 3 AM ET on Mondays. Go! drops at I think the same time on Thursdays.
Things that might affect podcast charts:
Listening with sound on! Some software knows if you’re just playing something muted for views.
Notifications. Just guessing here. 
I found a “Save Episode” feature on Apple; no idea what that does, but by god did I save those episodes.
So, set up your computers/phones/friend’s tablets/parent’s smart TVs/WHATEVER up to play that shit on loop on very low volume overnight. Any device with spare drive storage? Download that shit. Any account you can get your grubby little hands on the password for? Slam that whatever-the-equivalent-to-subscribe-is button.
Do it for charity!
