Right, I’ma info dump on all of you because I have a fixation on “In Space With Markiplier”, “A Heist With Markiplier”, and just Markiplier’s channel lore in general, and I really need to talk to ppl about it.
Okay okay okay, so! If you guys read my personal thread, you will most likely know that I have a hyperfixation on two youtube originals, as I stated above. I originally found “In Space With Markiplier”, like, two months ago, but I kind of didn’t really click with it originally, mostly because I was in the middle of a Stray fixation.
Also, if you haven’t seen “In Space With Markiplier” or “A Heist With Markiplier” and now you want to, spoilers will be ahead. You have been warned!~

Okay, starting with the first one. In Space With Markiplier is this first-person, multi-choice video that is split into two parts. Basically, you are The Captian of a spaceship called The Invincible 2. This ship, btw, is f---ing HUGE. Like omfg. Anyways, when we first board the ship, we are greeted by Head Engineer Mark, who gives us a bit of a tour of the place. We meet some of the leaders of the various things around the ship, which are Burt, Celci, and Gunther. After a bit, the alarms go off, which is to signal the crew that they are going to fast forward into time to get to the new home planet for the colonists on the ship (which is probably the reason why it’s so big lol).
But ofc something goes wrongggg. They get stuck in a wormhole, and we don’t fall asleep in the cryo pod like we’re SUPPOSED TO. So basically, we are shot out of the pod, and Mark soon after, but the window breaks and he is sucked out into space. We go through a variety of choices, and depending on what you choose, you will either move forward or die. If you do die, we go back in time and are able to save Mark before the window breaks. There is a ton of stuff that happens after that, but it’s all mostly choosing stuff, so I’m gonna move on. We separate the warp core, which is where the wormhole is, apart from the rest of the ship, sending us drifting for a while, but this is usually different for everyone since there are different “””endings””” depending on your choices. I was a bit of an a--hole and got the one where Eng!Mark does everything for the colony, and then he kills me by suffocating me.
All of the “””endings””” end with you dying and being sent back to the beginning again, and I think out of annoyance, we throw a fire extinguisher at the window and kill ourself. That obviously doesn’t work. We run towards the wormhole, leaving Eng!Mark behind to deal with all of the problems that arise on the ship. When we are about to jump into said wormhole, Eng!Mark pulls us back before we do so. Then here comes Lady (that is literally what she is called the entirety of Space. It is never specified what her name is), who we haven’t met yet, but she definitely remembers us. Before she is able to stop us from going into the wormhole, the reactor overloads and blows up, sending us into the wormhole. We find the warp core after a bit, where we are given a crystal. This will be important later, so remember the crystal.
Eng!Mark and us then make the decision whether or not we should jump into the wormhole again, or call a meeting with the rest of the Heads. If we call a meeting, Celci proposes that we send out a distress signal, while Burt suggests backing up the ship INTO the wormhole. I’m just gonna state that backing up the ship does give you the bit that hints that Eng!Mark has a crush on the Captain, which is my absolute favorite thing ever. However, sending out a distress signal continues the story normally, where Mark and we are zapped onto an alien spaceship, which then takes us to one of the more major plots in the story, where we meet Lady for the second time (but she hasn’t met us yet, so it doesn’t really matter) and find out that this god damn wormhole is sucking up spaceships all over the f---ing galaxy.
Uh, then comes in the bandit. She drops a vent on top of Lady, which knocks her out for the moment, and Bandit gives us this wormhole-makin’ thing. We teleport back to the ship, where weird things start happening. This part is where it really depends on your choice. I chose to leave, which ended with me talking to the other three heads, who were all mad at me for leaving and jumping through wormholes, which is kind of understandable. There are two different ways I went, which were either listening to Celci and just dying to get to Part 2, or “fixing it from the outside”, which kills me and sends me back to Eng!Mark, who kindddd of gets shot by Lady. This is how I meet old Mark, but he’s not very relevant until Part 2.
Part 2 is just…a ton of choosing, so I’m gonna take out my favorite parts and explain them.
MACK. OH MY GOD. I HATE HIM SM. He’s SUCH an a--hole, but I love who plays him (MatPat) <3. Also, guess who I gave a crisis??? MACK, WHOOOOO, TAKE THAT!
I also met Wilford! He’s scary, but silly at the same time lmfao. Just ever so causally popping my wormhole like it’s a balloon or something.
JIM. Just Jim.
SPACE THEORY!!! WHOOOO YAS MATPAT.
Okay, back to the major story. So, I forgot to mention, but Old Mark tells us that we need to stop Eng!Mark from sending the warp core back to the past, which doesn’t make any sense at first, but it makes sense once we get to the end. We talk to Old Mark one last time before leaving, where we watch Eng!Mark rebuild the warp core in a speeded-up part. Then he stares at us for a few seconds before we turn around, where we see the present Eng!Mark holding a fire extinguisher, where he f---ING SLAPS US WITH IT LIKE A b----. He drops it, crouching down and grabbing the warp crystal out of our hand, which LIKE, UM, OW???? THAT WAS EMBEDDED INTO OUR SKIN, YA dumb---.
He talks to us a bit, saying some dumb s--- as he starts up the warp core. When he gets close enough to us, we temporarily blind him and try to stop him, but we realize too late that we need to physically remove the crystal from the warp core. By the time we figure that out, Mark can see again and he tries to stop us from grabbing it. The warp core shoots up, creating a wormhole, which starts sucking Mark into it, which he then starts pleading with us, telling us that he can fix it and that we need to let him go.
Spoiler alert, letting go restarts the whole thing all over again. In my canon path, I had to go through all of the events again. When we hold on, we grab the crystal, throwing it into the wormhole, which closes it and resolves the paradox. He talks to himself for a few seconds before directing his anger at us, yelling at us for messing everything up.
Which is when he realizes.
It was his fault the entire time.
He created the warp core.
I’d like to mention that MARK IS THE BEST ACTOR EVER. HE IS SO FREAKING GOOD AT IT. LIKE OMG <33333
When we are finally sent back, everything is back to normal. It also appears that Eng!Mark does not remember anything, but idk bro. We finally get to see the new planet tho!!!! The outside appearance is similar to Earth, but also a bit different as well. Then credits roll. BUT WAIT! It’s not done yet! Guess who appears at the ending? DARKIPLIERRRRRR!!! The crystal is found on the floor, where he picks it up. Then the screen turns black.
I have more to say, but you’ll have to give me a bit, hold up. There’s not enough space on these lol -
LISTEN TO THIS SONG. ITS FROM THE CREDITS OF IN SPACE WITH MARKIPLIER. -
Okay, once again, SPOILER ALERT FOR A HEIST WITH MARKIPLIER!!!
~
Moving onto A Heist With Markiplier, this one is a bit older, but it does have the same basic idea as Space. It is also first person and multi-choice, but instead of one ending, it has 31 of ‘em. It starts off with us breaking into a museum, with Heist!Mark popping up about a minute in by falling through the roof. Also, I’d like to mention that even without fancy green screen stuff, they made the grappling hook pulling Mark up SO smooth, I kept watching the beginning part cuz of it lol. Anyways, we get to the vault we were looking for, which we are able to open by grabbing the keys from the security guards, and we get the item we wanted.
After this point, I can’t really summarize each individual ending and each path, since that would take way too long, BUT. THE ITEM. The item we get is this odd-lookin’ box with a crystal on one bit of it, which is the same crystal from Space. There are also many connections between Heist and Space. For example, there’s this one character named Yancy, who is one of Markiplier’s minor egos. He is seen in both Heist and Space. Same with Mark’s major egos, such as Darkiplier and Wilford Warfstache. Illinois is also in there briefly as well.
With one of the paths, you also get a musical number, which is…great, btw. Like damn bro, I love it.
Ever since I watched Heist and Space (with a little bit of A Date With Markiplier on the side), I’ve been piecing together Markiplier’s channel lore and, in general, been delving into each of his egos and figuring out info about them. I’ve also been thinking about watching some of the minor videos he has posted that have contributed to the lore, but so far, I’m just deciding to step back from it for a little bit.
So, piecing together each of Mark’s projects into a storyline, there’s…
1, Who Killed Markiplier. Obviously.
2, In Space With Markiplier, but it kind of depends. Space has lots of points where it is obvious that this is second on the list, especially because of the ending, but because it jumps both forward and backward in time, it’s not always obvious.
3, A Heist With Markiplier. This one is more obvious. Remember the crystal. Also, Darkiplier appears during one of the endings with the box, so this solidifies my idea.
And 4, A Date With Markiplier. Heist!Mark mentions in one of the endings that him and us were planning on going on a date, and in the description, it leads us to Date. So…yeah.
NOW, I want to say that I am planning on making a roleplay based off of In Space With Markiplier, but I’m not sure yet. I’m also going to make Gacha Club videos about the various videos and Mark’s egos, so…once I can get onto Tik Tok, I’ll give y’all my account @ if you are interested :)
I’m also creating a character, which is fun. -
i have no idea who read this, but if you did, I love you sm
-
wtf i need to rewatch all the markiplier series i didn’t know there was so much to it 😭
(also off topic but someone on the radio where i live sounds like wilford wharfstache and i think that’s funny) -
Ye, there's tons of lore and I am totally fixated on it. It's so great!!! It's so awesome!!! :D
I'm gonna probably scroll around on YouTube and try and find more lore bits that I'm missing, since there are probably little bits and bobs scattered on his channel that I haven't seen. I mean, I can't do it now, because I have stuff to do, BUT. LORE.
(:0 That's hilarious! xD) -
hehehe I think my Sanders Sides fixation is coming back lol help me
-
idk why it's back, but my guess is because of the whole ego thing, which is somewhat just like the sides, but the sides are personality traits, while the egos are actual characters that are played by the content creators.
-
AGHHHH JACKSEPTICEYE'S CHANNEL LORE IS EATING AWAY AT ME.
I rlly need to watch The IRIS Project, but school is preventing me from doing so. Might also watch some of his "Jacksepticeye Power Hour" vids + any additional videos that have to do with the egos, cuz a few of them have gotten upgrades to their designs/backstory since they were first introduced 6-ish years ago.
I'm probably also gonna re-watch either Space or Heist. Because yes. -
aaaa they're so great!
it's even better because Jack only has 6 egos, which means he can easily expand their stories and connect them all together.
Unlike SOMEONE *cough* Mark and his 30+ egos *cough* -
I mean, I'm not any better (me with my 22 egos/personas lmfao)
-
wait no, I have 24 personas, not 22-
whoops -
same
idk how many personas i have atp there’s so many that never saw the light of day😭😭 except nikki. she’s just my old ahh fursona which now she’s just an oc lmao
(also i love how the ship in iswm is called ‘the invincible 2 implying the first one wasn’t very. invincible HEL😭) -
I have WAYYY too many that were never used, but they had this whole f---ing backstory 'n s---. Tbh I don't remember a lot of their backstories anymore owo
(lmao I love to think about that whenever I see the ship. Eng!Mark also mentions something about the original as well, and he says that the same thing happened on the first Invincible, which is...concerning lol) -
markiplier has lore???
