[blind-radio-waves]

u could poison me & i wouldn even GAF

[blind-radio-waves]

IM SORRY. I WISH I COULD. I WOULD! I WOULD IF THATS HOW THIS WORKED!

I keep asking Host for a date when a Certain Someone will die and he keeps telling me he cant give it or it might not happen BUT THATS BULLSHIT. GIVE ME HOPE, HOST. GIVE IT TO ME.

[blind-radio-waves]

Hi Mr Host! Do you have a favourite genre of stories? Like do you prefer horror, adventure, thriller, mystery, romance?

Generally Horror or Mystery. As unfortuante as it is that I share that with the Author- it intrigues me the most. It is what I tend to read and write when I am doing so seriously.

When I am reading "bad" books, I tend to romance. Not because the genre itself is bad, but because it tends to attract some... interesting characters.

[blind-radio-waves]

My cat thinks you're kinda fruity

Your cat is right

[blind-radio-waves]

Do you mind if Echo is here? She didn't want to leave me alone.

It's fine, Host, don't worry. We love her.

Okay good.

Please state your name, pronouns and role on the MarkiplierTV team.

Uhm- Quill "The Host" Warfstache, He/Him and Ae/Are pronouns... I run a radio show branch off under the MarkiplierTV name.

Thank you for taking the time out to do this interview. For confidentiality, any questions you wanna skip will be cut from this footage. This is your time.

Oh! Uhm, alright. That's... That's good. I don't think I have to worry about anything currently but well! It's odd. I don't... I'm not in front of the camera often.

Radio show.

Exactly. This uhm- The whole eye thing kind of leaves me unwilling to be in front of the cameras often.

You'll be okay?

It's fine! We can do the questions. I've got my cat after all.

Alright then. Could you tell us how you identify?

Transmasculine, biromantic, demisexual.

Well you had that answer prepared.

I- Well I had to guess *some* of the questions that would get asked!

Rather specific too.

I've had awhile to figure everything out. Maybe things will change but, for now... those feel right.

When did you realize you felt differently about love than what people expected of you?

Oh god uhm... I didn't think I could for awhile. While I was Author actually, uhm...

You don't have to get into that bit if you don't want it.

No, it's important. I was him for a bit. It just... Can we take a second?

[Tape Cut]

Hooo, okay. Uhm. When I was the Author. I thought myself incapable of love at all. I had accepted that- it was a whole... thing. About him. But becoming the Host, I simply started to think I wasn't worthy of it. The one... singular shift was Mal. Before and after I became Host. I knew him as the Author for awhile, and sometimes I think Mal could have actually changed him, if he had only had more of a chance to.

I see why you needed a second, Quill, damn.

Hah- Yeah uhm... When I finally started letting myself feel things like that again, I never really thought about it being weird, not caring what gender the person I would maybe end up with would be. Besides- it had always been Mal. Always.

When did you realize you weren't the gender you were assigned at birth?

Oh very very early on. I was quite young- the Jims were easy help in that. I was... god I can't remember, it was so long ago now. I was ten I think. Don't quote me on that.

How long ago would that be for you now?

Oh easily 100 years now. I'm old as fuck.

PFFT-

Yeah don't ask questions about my age.

How do you feel about coming out so publicly, through a TV interview?

I don't mind it honestly- I talk often upon my experiences as trans on the radio show, so it's not like it's unknown in our fan base. If it is... how did you miss it? I'm not subtle. There's an entire episode from last year's pride where I went in depth on my transition journey and what my plan was.

Have you made any special bonds with other LGBTQIA+ members of the production team?

Absolutely! I'm married, for one, I got my siblings back, I have Zaza now... It's a lot, and it's all through the studio and Dark... I was given this chance again, and I love them all. Every single one of them are important to me, and I'm so happy to be here.

Is there anything you'd like to say to any LGBTQIA+ viewers watching this?

If what you think you are changes- that is perfectly fine. I thought I was aroace for genuinely years. Clearly, I was wrong. Or, rather, I wasn't wrong, but it just stopped being right. Scary, yes, but it will be okay. CJ will probably have more on this once you guys get to doing your own.

[CJ Laughs off-screen]

But even I had my own experiences. It's okay. No matter where you are or where you were- it was important. It mattered.

Any closing thoughts?

I don't think I have much more past this. Uhm.

[Host lifts his arm, and Nagini, an albino ball python, slides out of his sleeve and back up his arm but over his sleeve this time.]

Nagini says hi though. Thank you for having me.

Thank you for your time. Happy Pride Month!

--lright if Dark smokes in here? ... Yeah, you can go ahead, Dark.

Thank you.

[Tape cut]

Please state your name, pronouns and role on the MarkiplierTV team.

My name is Dark Warfstache, I go by they and them, and I am the production supervisor and legal representative for MarkiplierTV.

Thank you for taking the time out to do this interview. For confidentiality, any questions you wanna skip will be cut from this footage. This is your time.

I... Thank you. I'm... I'm not as natural in front of a camera as our talents, but this interview offer piqued my interest... so here I am.

Here you are!

[Nervous laughter]

Okay, cool. Could you tell us how you identify?

...Oh... You know that's a loaded question, Jim.

[Laughter]

I am... Well, I'm bisexual. Queer. Whatever fits best at... whatever time. I say I'm bi. And I am... non-binary, genderqueer... and I'm Intersex, that's not up in the air. It's... the fewer labels I have to think about, the less complicated it feels. This is still a fairly new vocabulary for me.

When did you realize you felt differently about love than what people expected of you?

I... Wow. Alright.

[Laughter]

Codi wrote these, I'm guessing.

[Laughter] Yeah.

[Tape cut]

Well... I realized that I was different... that I felt differently... much earlier than I revealed to anyone else. I was in the closet for a long. Time. I grew up in France in the first half of the 20th century, and while Americans have this stereotype that the French are more effeminate or pansies or whathaveyou... it was still a fairly suffocating environment. A... binary environment. My parents were very strict... and I had been raised to... I'd been raised to fear taking up too much space. I was practically praised when I was polite and quiet and... didn't make waves.

...But... I knew something was different. The way I felt about... other boys and other girls was... I'm sorry...

Do you need a minute?

No, no, I -- I'm alright... Even... Even early in my adolescence, I had this gnawing paranoia that whatever I was feeling... was not lining up with what I'd been taught. Girls liked boys, and boys liked girls, and that was it. C'est ça, c'est tout -- that's it, that's all.

When I had... for lack of a better phrasing, come into myself, when I had this -- this fairly intense identity awakening, well... I wasn't much of a woman or a man anymore. And, in an oddly poetic way... it helped knock those invisible walls down in my head. The rules of men loving women and women loving men didn't apply to someone who... isn't. Either of those.

It's funny you say that, because the next question is: when did you realize you weren't the gender you were assigned at birth?

Oh, well perfect.

[Laughter]

Well, even before... this, all this... before Dark "happened", I... I had my curiosities. I liked suits, I liked dresses. It never fully clicked for me why things as trivial as pieces of fabric were restricted by one's body-type... and then, well, that anxiety came back. So, I... I essentially didn't allow myself room to think about these things. I treated them like unhelpful thoughts. I lost myself in my jobs, I lost myself in education, I... I didn't leave room for it.

So when... all THIS happened... I rubber-banded. I felt -- I felt like the leash was off. Finally, it... it was off, it was unclasped. I had an intense... INTENSE existential episode shortly after I had these awakenings... because it was all at once. It took me some time to regain my footing with -- with myself. With who I was... with who I wanted to be. I was allowed to figure it out for myself. I had that freedom, I... I had a say.

Who I was were gone. The people I was performing in front of was gone. The environment... The environment I had to fit into was gone. Nothing made sense anymore... and that meant that I could make my own rules. For myself, for who I was. For how other people saw me.

How do you feel about coming out so publicly, through a TV interview?

...I... I don't know, yet, how I feel. It's nice to have a listening ear turned to me... or to feel like I have one, anyhow.

You have ears, Dark. We're listening.

...

...Oh, uh... Jim, go get some tissues, ple--

[Tape cut]

Have you made any special bonds with other LGBTQIA+ members of the production team?

Oh, most certainly. Many of the team is queer, much to my surprise. I have a feeling that many queer people -- especially from my time and earlier -- have that moment of epiphany at least once or twice. That realization of, "Wow, there are so many of us"... It's a nice feeling. I've felt that many a time. There's you, and your siblings, there's Mr. Host and young Yandere-chan, and of course my dearest Wilford...

It's... It's really lovely to witness.

Is there anything you'd like to say to any LGBTQIA+ viewers watching this?

...I would like to say... Well, I'm not much for motivational speaking, but I would like to thank you for listening. And I... I'd like to say that... it isn't always going to be as scary as it may feel right now. The more space to allow yourself to figure out who you are -- not who your family or colleagues want you to be -- the sooner you will figure it out... and the more comfortable you will be, and the... better you will understand what you need to feel complete.

...That's really sweet, Dark.

I'm not cut out for it.

You did great! Any closing thoughts?

I need another cigarette.

[Laughter] That's it, then! Thank you for your time. Happy Pride Month!

And to you.

[Tape cut]

[blind-radio-waves]

Happy Pride Month.

-D

[blind-radio-waves]

Do you have any pets if thats okay to ask?

Several!

An albino ball python named Nagini, a cockatiel named Ari, a German Shephard named Fate, a Sphynx cat named Brair, a Turkish Angora named Echo, a whole collection of fish with too many names to list out here (theyre all in a 50 gallon tank set up in the front room of the Library), a ferret named Noodle with plans to get a second soon, I also have the set up for another terrarium, Im hoping to get a red kneed tarantula soon.

As you can see, pets a plenty. One or more will usually end up following you if you end up in the Library for any reason.

[blind-radio-waves]

Its not rude to get clarification. It would have been far ruder if someone chose to start just asking questions about them in specifics.

Mr Host, are your biological parents a sore subject for you?

Depends. By now they are far gone, and it aches more like a week old bruise- that pain remains, but tempered. Occasionally it burns again, as if you've forgotten the bruise is there and stretched a bit too far, but most times I barely even register it.

Why do you ask?
