Quality Ego Headcanons

Deep down, he knew that if he made his parents out to be nice and kind then murdering them would make him seem more cruel and unusual in his violence. Sure, his parents had been kind, and they had loved him, but people change and things affect different people in different ways.

Yancy was born in Happy Trails Penitentiary, where both his parents were locked up for drug-related charges. One may think that it wasn’t a pleasant life to be born in prison, but it was the only life Yancy ever knew. 

His parents were friendly to the other inmates and quite popular, and as a result, everyone accepted young Yancy like he was their own.

A perfect match, Yancy fit right in at Happy Trails, and from the moment of his birth, it was destined to be his home forever. 

He got along well with the other inmates and even took a shine to a gruff, much older inmate with an extremely heavy accent that Yancy adopted into his speech pattern.

With every new person that came to the penitentiary, Yancy was there to greet them, from his diaper days until he was given his own small-sized uniform. At age four, Yancy’s mother became pregnant again, and Yancy was elated to be an older brother.

In light of her condition, Yancy’s mother was granted a chance at parole and was released, taking the fearful Yancy into the outside world for the first time, curious but terrified.

When Nancy was born on the outside, Yancy vowed that he would protect his baby sister, and never let her be locked up, no matter what, believing that freedom was best for his beloved sister. He hoped that his mother, and eventually his father, would feel the same way about her, but, alas, that didn’t seem to be the case.

His mother suffered from post-partum depression after the birth of her child, and Yancy was mostly the one who took care of the baby as his mother was disconnected from her.

Then, a few months later, his father was released on parole and came home. Immediately, the two fell back into old habits and were soon too high on drugs to function, let alone take care of two small children. Then, the family’s life fell into chaos and Yancy’s resentment towards his once loving parents began.

On Nancy’s second birthday, her six-year-old brother had collected enough change to buy a little cake for her, while his parents got high in the other room.

The little girl had burnt her hand on the flame of the candle and started crying, and through his tears, Yancy desperately tried to comfort her but the sound had alerted their parents, who came in to quiet the baby.

He wouldn’t stop shaking her. Yancy saw red when the crying worsened and grabbed the cake knife when he snapped and started driving it into him again... and again.

Yancy remembered his mother screaming, and trying to stop him, and he turned to her and continued his attack.

Once he’d realized what he was done, he brought his sister to the hospital, but there was nothing that could be done. Realizing he was alone, Yancy made his way back home, to his true home, the penitentiary.

Now he knows it is truly where he belongs, and he never wants to leave. He doesn’t want to ever be hurt again, but, sometimes he remains hopeful.

There are four Jims, the older twins who run Jim News, Anchorman Jim (AJ) and Weatherman Jim (WJ), then they have their younger brothers, the second set of Jims, who are their field reporters, Reporter Jim (RJ) and Cameraman Jim (CJ).

AJ and WJ are huge himbo thots, and RJ and CJ are sweet innocent babies. The older twins know exactly what they’re doing. They may be dumb, but, they’re lovable jerks.

On the other hand, RJ and CJ are soft, precious babies. They’re gentle and curious like a pair of inquisitive toddlers running around with a microphone and a studio camera.

Since they’re all named Jim, and their parents were named Jim (don’t ask), they just give everyone the name ‘Jim’ with some slight variation. It’s easier for them to remember.

Or maybe they don’t understand that there are other names in the world besides ‘Jim’... or they could just not care.

As a result, the younger Jims have given nicknames to all the other egos, even ones that aren’t living with them, such as the septic egos. The older set of twins don’t socialize much with the others, but, they are aware of the names.

These nicknames are the cause of some discourse and annoyance from the other egos, but most of the time they don’t care or they tolerate it because the Jims are family.

Some of the nicknames include Demon Jim, Candy Jim, Spooky Jim, Robot Jim, Bro-bot Jim, Bimmy Jim, Flower Jim, and Dreamy Jim, names for Darkiplier, Wilford, Host, Google, Bing, Bim, Eric, and Illinois respectively.

Sometimes the names change, as the Jims are too absentminded and forgetful to stick to one name in particular, and the more they like another ego, the more names they get.

For example, they also address Wilford as ‘Pink Jim’, or ‘Sugar Jim’, and Bim as ‘Boss Jim’.

The more egos that show up, the more names the Jims make up, which means the more confused they are about everything.

The young, gentle ego was born Robbie Jackson in the year 1898, to one Jameson Jackson, a theatre actor, and a mother who died in childbirth. In a time where the condition was undiscovered, Robbie was born with autism, and as a result, was threatened throughout his life.

Despite being incredibly kind, and gentle, there was something ‘wrong’ with Robbie, and as far as clinicians in the early 1900′s were concerned, Autism didn’t exist and therefore, children displaying Autism were simply considered insane, and Robbie fell into that spectrum. His father, however, didn’t care what anything had to say about his child, and supported him and worked with his quirks and uniqueness instead of shunning him.

The young child loved learning and was very friendly and social once he had gotten to know people, as, when first meeting strangers, he was very shy and nervous. Robbie loved putting together puzzles and playing with toys that had soft and gentle textures.

He especially loved playing with his father’s show puppets, and as a result, Jameson always made sure that his puppets were made with only the softest materials for his boy, and even made Robbie custom puppets just for him.

Jameson loved his son unconditionally and taught him sign language to help the boy communicate in a way he could understand, and educated him the same values and morals that he, as a father, valued, in the hopes that people would see that Robbie is not someone to be feared, and instead someone to be loved.

People seemed to tolerate Robbie, mostly because Jameson was a big name in entertainment, what with him being a silent film star and all, and people loved him, so they accepted his judgment on his child.

Not everyone accepted Jameson’s word on his son, though, sadly. 

On the day that Robbie turned eighteen, Jameson took him to a movie premiere for his birthday, one that Robbie was very excited to see. He proudly bragged to anyone who would listen (or rather could understand sign/read his note cards) about how his boy was now a man and he couldn’t be prouder.

However, a stranger heard, and, knowing who Robbie and Jameson were, knew about Robbie’s mental condition.

Robbie did not make it home that night with his father, as he was attacked and killed by a stranger who simply did not understand him, and claimed there was no excuse for a man to be unable to function properly in society.

In response to his son’s death, Jameson Jackson vanished from public view and was never seen or heard from again, that is, until modern-day where he was reunited with his son, who wasn’t the same but was his child none the less.

With Dark and Wilford, teasing is second nature.

Darkiplier is less of a tease sexually, and more just in their every day domestic life. He will tease Wilford with words and play to his personality, knowing that if he teases Wilford about being unable to do something, it's more likely Wilford will go out of his way to prove Dark wrong, instead of saying he'd do the task later, and then forgetting about it.

Wilford is well aware that Dark does this to his advantage, but, when Dark teases him, he gets encouraged to prove himself to his partner and show just how capable he is.

The interactions are mostly teasing, as Dark would never dare to actually attempt to manipulate Wilford. He loves the bubblegum ego too much, and he also knows if he did anything wrong by Wilford, the other would do the same tenfold.

A fight with Wilford is the only fight Darkiplier has no interest in. So Dark just uses his sharp tongue and quick with to keep up with Wilford.

He does, of course, tease Wilford sexually as well, just not as much as the other does.

Dark has always been known for subtleness, like the small little sultry smirk sent Wilford's way when they're in public, or the quick wink that he throws at him. The more subtle, the more it drives Wilford wild, and as soon as they're able, Dark gets thrown onto their bed and ravished, just the way he loves.

Wilford, on the other hand, is the biggest tease known to man, and is relentless with his teasing towards Dark.

...and of course, it's very sexual.

He loves to use touch and words to temp and tease his darling Darkiplier, such as touching him when in public where the other can't do anything in response, like grabbing his ass when they're standing side by side.

The reactions Dark gives are the best, and Wilford revels in it.

With words, Wilford is a bit more discrete, using his powers to speak directly into the back of Dark's mind and seduce him with sultry words and illicit phrases.

His favorite thing to do is wear lingerie under his clothes, and let Dark know what his plans are for the two of them that night in the sanctuary of their bedroom.

When they're in the meeting, surrounded by the other egos, and Wilford is on the other end of the table, looking at Dark like all the other egos.

When he's sure no one else is looking at him, he catches Dark's eye, and lifts his shirt, revealing the lacy silk lingerie that is hidden under his clothes. He throws in a saucy smile and a wink just for kicks, then tucks his shirt back in.

Dark's cheeks turn ten times deeper in shade, and his voice stutters as he chokes up and looks away. He tells the other egos he's fine, then he's back to normal within seconds.

Hm, never heard of that ship before :O but I guess it's basically the same as DAmien which is cute as hecc. I mean I have my own headcanons for the District Attorney but I don't usually ship her with anyone, to be honest. Underrated character. But, yeah! Yeehaw!!!

Y/N has been put through hell thousands of times, on repeat, for our own amusement, and is still an underrated character which is almost as unfair as Mark continuously playing with our feelings. #JusticeForY/N

When it comes to dreams of the future, Bing is ecstatic.

The possibilities are endless, especially when he has his best bro and true love by his side. He has a lot of dreams for the future, but, honestly, he just wants to make Chase happy, so, his main goal is helping Chase get better so he can get his kids back.

Chase knows how much Bing loves him and wants to help him, and sometimes it overwhelms him with emotions, but mostly he is incredibly grateful to have the android by his side.

Most of Bing's dreams include some sort of house. He loves the other egos, but he wants to get Chase somewhere quiet and calm where he can relax. He also imagines having a lot of pets, because he wants Chase to have someone around to protect him in case something ever happens to him.

After all, he knows that technology always becomes obsolete, and there's no way he's going to outlive Chase, and is scared of leaving Chase alone when he unlimited deactivates and shuts down forever.

For Chase Brody, dreams of the future are just that - dreams.

He never expects anything to come of them, because, honestly, most of the time he doesn't think he's going to live that long.

But, because of Bing, he takes them a bit more seriously, and often sees the good in the world, instead of the bleak darkness he's used to, he sometimes imagines snuggling up to Bing in the grass of the backyard, having a home that they own together, with maybe a dog, and a swingset that his kids are playing on.

He remembers the sound of their laughter, and he always hears it when he daydreams.

Marriage is always a touchy subject for Chase, and Bing knows it, so he never brings it up, even though Bing would love nothing more than to engage in the human custom, as he finds it romantic.

Chase, deep down, wants the same, but he's too scared of it destroying their relationship, and he can't bear the thought of losing Bing too, as he's all he has left.

Dreams of the future are tricky for the two of them, but Bing has confidence enough for the both of them that things will work out.

Oh, yes, definitely.

Darkiplier hates to admit it, but some days that little part of Celine that still resides in him comes out, and she feels disconnected by being in a male body.

So, in return, on those certain days, Dark secludes himself and treats himself to a day in, where he practices makeup and does traditionally 'girly' things, dresses more feminine, and let's more of Celine's personality seep through and show.

Of course, he doesn't let anyone else see him like that, figuring the other's wouldn't understand and he'd lose control (even though they wouldn't care) and the only person who ever knew and ever will know is Wilford.

Because Wilford is always there.

Darkiplier and Wilford are two of the most powerful egos.

Because of that, they have many quirks, though most of them are violent or unstable and are not necessarily beneficial to their relationship, except for a select few.

For example, Darkiplier is a manipulator, and he is very skilled at it, to an almost magical (it probably is demonic) degree. As a result, this is very good when Wilford gets into trouble, which, let's face it, is literally a constant occurance.

Whenever Wilford has an episode and goes into a murderous rampage, Dark is always the one that tries to get to him to soothe him, or he's the one who cleans up after him, including bailing him out from the police.

Demonically manipulating police and a whole judicial system is much harder and draining for Darkiplier, but when it comes to his Wilford, he will go to extreme lengths to keep him safe and at his side.

He's nearly gotten himself arrested multiple times when he's had trouble manipulating officers, and has ended up killing near full police stations in an effort to get his doofus husband out of jail.

"Dark?" Wilford whimpered as he pressed his face against the bars of the cell, looking around for his partner, whom he knew was there, able to sense the presence and see the greyscale seeping through the environment.

"Right here." Dark replied in a cold tone, appearing in front of the cell and grabbing it to pull it open, manipulating it to get over the fact that he didn't have the key. "Relax. We're going home. I've posted your bail already."

Wilford nodded and stepped forward, pushing himself into Dark's arms and closing his eyes. Darkiplier sighed and ran his fingers though Wilford's hair.

"How do you convince them to let me go all the time?" Wilford asked tiredly, not questioning as Dark covered his eyes and led him out of the holding cells.

Dark was quiet for a moment, leading the blinded Wilford over the dead bodies of officers that littered the halls, before he responded gently. "...I have my ways."

As for Wilford, he has many more quirks and charms to him, some that Darkiplier doesn't even know about, though he knows of more of them than most of the other egos.

The most beneficial powers to their relationship would be Wilford's abilities to read into Dark's thoughts and reply the same way, and his ability to manipulate reality. This benefits both of them, as Wilford can tease Dark relentlessly, but also comfort him in his times of need.

When Dark gets distressed in public, or during an ego meeting, Wilford knows before Darkiplier even registers it.

He whispers soothing words and affections into the back of Dark's mind and calms him, before he explodes and does damage to anyone else, or himself.

Other times, when Dark is feeling particularly touch starved, Wilford knows immediately, attuned to Dark's subconscious thoughts. When he gets him alone, he manipulates reality around them to give the illusion of there being more than one Wilford, then he snuggles Dark in a cotton candy cuddle pile.

While Wilford and Dark seem to be complete polar opposites, it's likely that neither of them could truly survive, or function properly at all without the other.

The bubblegum ego sensed it immediately.

He could hear the arguing voices of Dark's subconscious from the moment he saw him, watching the way his aura flickered and warped in flashes of blinding colour.

Wordlessly, he took Dark's hand and led him to their bedroom, his thumb rubbing circles on his husband's hand, soothing and gentle. He knew it had been a long day for Dark, and he needed a little bit of TLC.

Once they'd settled on the plush bed, Wilford pulled Dark into his arms and let the 'evil' ego snuggle as close as he needed, before the world warped and duplicates of Wilford, mostly just pink auras, snuggled Dark from every angle, wrapping around him like blankets, radiating love.

This always made Dark smile, half in amusement at being squished by multiples of Wilford, and half in sheer gratitude that Wil knew exactly what he needed.

"...thank you." Darkiplier whispered, his voice low and soft as he tilted his head to look up at Wilford, wearing a tired smile.

The most controversial couple in the Markiplier Cinematic Universe by far, the couple that had been together since their school years, and were deeply in love.

Their relationship was supportive and near perfect, until Mark purchased the manor as a wedding present for his wife, and things started to go downhill.

When Celine noticed the corruption in the house, and how it was negatively affecting her husband. When she realized she could not convince him to leave the home, Celine fled, and took refuge at her brother's home.

The story of her affair with William was untrue, as their relationship was completely platonic, as he stayed at Damien's home when on leave from the service. He helped her in her research into the house and her attempts to save her husband.

William did not necessarily believe in the supernatural, but was more than happy to help one of his friends save the other, and her relationship. They kept their goals from Damien, at Celine's request, to keep him safe from the entity that was corrupting Mark, which led Damien to believe Mark's claims that Celine was having an affair with William.

Until the events of 'Who Killed Markiplier', Celine was still desperately trying to figure out how to separate the Mark from the house, or the entity, and refused to stop, even after years of plunging herself into dark arts, worrying her twin and her friend, and damaging her psyche.

Celine was determined to save Mark. Her cold and almost standoff-ish nature led them to believe she didn't care, but it was a defense mechanism, and also used to keep herself determined.

That determination, and her ultimate failure to find a way to save him, ultimately led to her death at his hands.

After the events, she ultimately gave up, and focused her determination on protecting her twin brother, and developed resentment towards Mark for not listening to her and leaving the house when she tried to warn him and save the both of them from the entity that resided inside.

The resentment harbored was passed onto Darkiplier, leading in part to the extremity of Dark and Mark's rivalry.

When Celine saved Damien and turned him into Darkiplier, Celine was left behind with the small piece of Mark that had resided in the world she had made to protect herself and Damien, and she remained with him.

She was never convinced if he was really real, but, knowing her brother was safe, and that she had something that resembled her husband trapped with her in her eternal prison, was the best she could ever hope for.

It's well known that William J. Barnum, aka, The Colonel, wears eye glasses. Understandably, Wilford Warfstache would need glasses as well, as, after all, they're the same person.

However, just because he needs them, doesn't mean that he wears them, in fact, he hates wearing them.

Because of that (and because Darkiplier doesn't allow him to wear contacts, because he always forgets to take them out) Wilford's eyes are very sensitive.

Even though Eric is new himself, Dark sent him to comfort Yancy when he arrived. Perhaps Dark knew they'd get along, who knows? But, it ultimately worked out in the end, and the two, despite seemingly being so different, got along very well.

Yancy was scared, just like Eric had been when hed first arrived. Eric found Yancy in a hallway closet, trying to mimic the close confines of a prison cell that he was so used to.

Eric immediately felt sympathetic, and was able to overcome his own anxieties to comfort Yancy, who was content with his new 'cellmate', and latched onto the last Derekson son.

Imagine, Yancy being a big softie to Eric, but, at the same time. trying to teach him to be tough and how to fight, trying to help him overcome his fears. In return, Eric convinces Yancy that he's not a horrible person, and teaches him how to be gentle.

Subsequently, Yancy attempts to murder or cause bodily harm to anyone who attempts to harm his new cellmate and best friend, because he knows Eric is a defenseless sweetheart.

Illinois reminds Wilford of something from his past that he can't quite remember, something long hidden away to the repression of his deluded mind, lost to the passing decades. Illinois knows a fellow adventurer and immediately gets attached to Wilford, much to the pink ego's happiness.

The two of them go on safaris, and hunts, and adventurers together, and just go crazy with recklessness, having the time of their lives. It reminds Wilford of a simpler time. One that he can't quite remember.

...and Dark absolutely loves and loathes Illinois, because he reminds him so much of William.

His dear old friend.

Every morning, he does Darkiplier's makeup, giving him that iconic 'guyliner'. One would think that Dark can do his makeup himself, and quite well, due to Celine, but that's inaccurate. Celine was a very natural woman, and didn't dabble in makeup that much, so she had none of those skills to pass on to Dark.

In the Bloopers of 'A Heist With Markiplier', Dark had to do his own makeup, because Wil was busy recording his scene for the show, and Dark supports him endlessly, so this wasn't a problem for him. Besides, he has to show that he can be a big, independent boy, and can do his own makeup.

He has to sit on the sink. He's too short to see. Wilford usually lifts him up to sit on the counter.

Bonus.

When Dark is in a good mood, he will let Yandere do his makeup. He usually ends up looking a little more feminine, and the bit of Celine inside him feels acknowledged.

When he's in a really really REALLY good mood, he let's Bim Trimmer do his makeup. Then he looks absolutely fabulous.
