I like to think that sometimes dark will get these twangs of guilt or regret and he can never work out why, but there’s a reason he’s never got rid of that cracked mirror in his office. Or maybe he is just as broken as Wilford except wilfords response to being torn apart was to just spiral into it while dark tried to fight back and regain agency over himself? Like that’s why he’s so determined to get revenge, he’s just as hurt by wkm as wilf, he’s just dealing with it differently
I think Dark retains all the memories of WKM, and all of Damien’s memories, but the person/people that he was are forever changed (but maybe not completely gone), and that the dark entity that powers him led him to a different kind of insanity, one that’s hyper-focused and obsessive rather than sporadic and hyperactive and stereotypically “mad”.
It means that Wil has been floating through time and space, not actively attempting to murder people but it just happens, and he literally cannot tell. His personal timeline is so confused, that he can’t feel the finality of it. Nothing really dies for him, so he literally cannot comprehend death anymore. People he’s shot come back and talk to him like friends, people he doesn’t remember hate him, and he can’t seem to die. None of that makes any sense.
He can hear what people are thinking, and I imagine he can’t turn that off. Do you know how terrifying that must have been at the very beginning? Hearing billions of voices and thoughts and not knowing what was what? Drowning it out with alcohol and loud music and bombasticness was all that he could do. And he’s perfectly aware that he’s losing things, his memory, his identity, everything he’s ever known. He’s not insane, he’s apathetic. He has nothing to lose because he’s constantly losing everything he’s ever had anyway, and yet he’s still trying desperately to care.
Also, can we talk about the line “nothing heals like a good apology”? All Mark (as in Asshole Mark from WKM) needed was a sincere apology, and to look at the bigger picture. Because he didn’t get that, because Wil himself didn’t apologize to his best friend for hurting him so deeply, because he blamed him and hated him for years and years, Wil lost everything, and he destroyed everything he had ever loved. So of course, to Wil, an apology is the most important thing he can give someone.
Wil is far, far more sane than any of us gave him credit for, and that hurts so much to know.
Man, one quick disco party video and suddenly I’m sad. Well fucking done, Mark and team. Well done.
(Also can I say I was losing my shit when the WKM music started playing. I love it so much.)
I love this. Feedback is so much fun.
My only comment on today’s video intro is...

Wil: You look like death!
Dark: *looks into the camera like he’s on The Office*

"No."
"Sam, I'm not a child. I can do this."
"No. You're not going in there."
"Well, why do you have to do it? What makes you more qualified than me?"
"I'm his brother."
"I'm his girlfriend. Have been for three years."
Sam sighed and looked down at his shuffling feet. The bunker was quiet, and felt almost suffocating today. There was a table covered in empty coffee mugs, and a dungeon that was all too full.
This was the third time you and Sam had had this debate, and you were determined to win, close to tears or not. When he finally looked up and nodded, you blinked.
"You're gonna let me do it?"
He gave a very weary smile. "Like you said, you're not a kid. And...Maybe you would be better."
He was nearly knocked over by the tight hug you gave him, and stroked your hair.
One... Two...
Breathe.
Three.
You slid the door open slowly, the creak and groan of metal filling the silence. Not looking up from the ground, you came into the room.
There was the sound of movement, a moment of surprised hesitation, then...a laugh. And it wasn't his laugh.
"I was wondering when Sammy would let you down here, (Y/N)."
You tried very hard not to wince at your name in that mocking tone, eyes still glued to the ground as you shut the door and went to the small silver table with the roll of syringes.
"Aw, you're gonna drug me up. Baby, that's adorable-"
"Don't call me baby." You could almost feel him smile; it made your skin crawl.
"Why not? You love it when I call you baby."
"I love when Dean calls me baby."
"I am Dean. Just-"
"You say a newer model and I'll punch you in the goddamn face." He chuckled.
You picked up a syringe, and a needle. Put the two together. Started to roll up your sleeve.
"You know you can't fix me, right?"
"Watch me."
"Well," he shuffled again, relaxing into the chair a bit, "you can make me human again, sure. But you can never fix me. I'll always be broken. I was when I met you, I was before I got the Mark, I was when I was human and had it. This is the closest to whole and happy I've ever been."
"Shut up." It was practically a whisper.
But he kept on, and the words hurt worse than the needle in your skin.
"See, now I'm not worried about anything. I don't care if Sammy dies, or Cas. I don't care if you die-"
"Shut. Up."
"-I wouldn't feel a bit of guilt, even with your blood on my hands. Actually, that'd be kinda fun. Chasing you around, hunting you down-"
You pulled the needle out sharply and stalked over to him, jabbing it in mercilessly. He hissed and fought, crying out as you pushed in the plunger and the blood flooded his system again. As you walked back over to the table, he began to scream.
"Why the hell are you even trying?! This won't work! It can't, and I don't want it to! Why does it matter what happens to me?!"
"Because I can't lose you, and I won't, even if I have to go to Hell and back again. Because Dean Winchester, I love you, and I won't stop until you're human or I'm dead."
As you walked out, you kept your eyes fixed on the door, trying desperately to ignore the tears blinding you at least until that door was shut behind you again. To your surprise, he said nothing else, and the only sound from him was heavy, ragged breathing.
You didn't look back as you shut the door, but if you had, you would have seen the demon staring at you, face slack with shock, frozen.
Just for a moment, right before the door closed, he moved forward, and opened his mouth as if to speak.
And there was a flash of green in those black eyes.
Is anyone else getting Coraline vibes from this? Do something “small” in exchange for eternal happiness? Something’s not right about all this...
Mark out here doing what he does best and giving his fanbase a damn heart attack.
Just a writer obsessed with her characters, from Supernatural and Sherlock to the Dark Side of Youtube. Your source for the Egos of Jacksepticeye and Markiplier, theories thereon, and random oneshots and short series. I take requests!
