A little background as to why the Markiplier fandom is panicking about The Edge of Sleep.

So YEARS ago. Mark was in a podcast called The Edge of Sleep, which was adapted into a TV series... Which was never released

Until

Mark made a movie adaptation of a video game, Iron Lung. He's put all his energy into this film, directing, producing, editing, even starring in it. the movie is done, and he's working to get it released in theaters.

We, the public don't know why, but we know that some doors have been locked on the release of Iron Lung, however some big wigs somewhere have promised that if his popularity alone can put Edge of Sleep in the TOP TEN a lot of doors will open for Iron Lung. He wasn't allowed to even say where it would premiere, nor was it advertised AT ALL

So now, Edge of Sleep has shadow dropped on Amazon Prime in the US. Three days BEFORE they even told Mark it would air. In order to get this man's work out in theaters this thing has to get to the top ten by word of mouth alone.

So. Watch Edge of Sleep! It's an apocalyptic horror. There are some mild gore warnings (blood, knife mutilation, brain dissection, self harm). Even if you can play it in the background and let it run just so it gets views thatd be helpful.

Stick it to the Hollywood Bigwigs! Show them YouTubers can have an audience! Open some doors for creative people trying to show their work to a bigger audience!

HERE'S A LIST OF THINGS YOU CAN DO AS A VIEWER TO HELP THE EDGE OF SLEEP.

1.) STREAM THAT SHOW ALL THE TIME. Don't just stream the show though, interact with it. Pause it. Rewatch your favorite moments.

2.) GO TO IMDB AND RATE EACH EPISODE! If you're new to IMDB its important that you also rate other shows and movies as well. Rate each episode, leave a review!

3.) RATE THE SHOW ON PRIME!

Give it a like! If you go to details you can rate each episode and review! Make sure you rate and review!

4.) TYPE IT INTO THE AMAZON SEARCH BAR! When going to watch the show, type it into the search bar. Get the search trending.

5.) GO TO THE WIKIPEDIA PAGE! Read the article about the show click some of the links on the site! Get the search some traffic!

6.) BE LOUD AND ANNOYING!!

Make a hashtag on twitter. I recomment hashtagTheEdgeOfSleep. Putting those caps in helps people with screen readers. Why twitter? Twitter is one of the most popular social media sites that streaming services look at. Im sorry, but staying on tumblr for this isnt going to give any reach. Constantly post about the show and use hashtags. Dont use more than three hashtags though.

Currently this is all I have, but if i think of anything more then I'll reblog with more. Normally i would be obsessively watching the tv stats website to see how it's doing but The Edge of Sleep doesnt have a page on there yet. We need to be loud. We need to get people from outside of Mark's subscribers to watch! There's no advertisement so we have to make noise!

Remember, if youre too tired, don't push yourself too much. Streaming the show in the background while you work on something else is STILL a stream.

[detectivemarkiprincess]

Go stream The Edge Of Sleep NOW!!! WE GOTTA GET TO THE TOP 10!!!

(or wait a little bit until it gets on Plex! or get a VPN! or just keep sharing stuff around!!)

I'm so sorry if this is how you find out btw lmao

[detectivemarkiprincess]

HEY GUYS THE EDGE OF SLEEP HAS BEEN OUT FOR LESS THAN 24 HOURS AND ITS VIEWING IS ALREADY DOWN! I CHECKED THE IMDB PAGE AND IT HAS A RED DOWNWARDS CHECKMARK! RATINGS ARE DOWN! GET ON THERE AND GIVE IT SOME GOOD REVIEWS! MAKE SOME NOISE! LET THEM KNOW YOU ENJOYED IT!

[detectivemarkiprincess]

Coming back from the dead to chime in.

YOU NEED TO MAKE SOME MOTHERFUCKING NOISE.

Like...

MARKS FANS AS A WHOLE NEED TO MAKE SO MUCH NOISE.

Streaming services are canceling shows right and left these days, and if theyre stooping to this level of petty with Mark? You need to make so much noise.

And like i know i seem like some random person telling you to talk about a show, but i comr from experience. If you want Iron Lung to see the light of the day we HAVE to go above and beyond what the streaming service wants for Edge of Sleep. Top 10? They'll still screw him over.

What is my experience? My absolute favorite show got CANCELED! Just this year too!

And you may say a lot of shows have been cancelled this year but heres the difference.

My favorite show is Our Flag Means Death AND IT GOT CANCELLED BEING IN MAX'S TOP THREE.

So I am once again telling you YOU HAVE TO BE SO FUCKING LOUD.

In an effort to get the show renewed the fandom bought not one but TWO billboards (one in times square), a fly over plane, a boat, several advertising box trucks, we had the show trending on twitter constantly, we posted qr codes and links everywhere to our petition (85k signatures) to keep the show running. And it still got cancelled.

I learned some things from this process and it's that you have to make so much noise, you have to get outsiders involved, you have to be so loud and obnoxious, you have to make the streaming service listen and ALSO get others to watch the show.

Heres some ways you can do that:

1.) MAKE NOISE ON TWITTER

Now you might say you hate twitter, i do too. I laterally hate that place so much, but social media wise it has some of the most impact. Get a hashtag trending, talk about the show, let others know it exists. People will find it. Dont post spoilers but let people know youre enjoying it! Do a live tweet while you watch and KEEP YOUR HASHTAG GOING! You want it to trend, you need to have people see it. Even explain whats going on, that Prime is trying to screw Mark over. Do not let assholes comment on your posts being assholes. Block them and keep making as much noise as you can. Let people know where to watch.

2.) Streaming services look at their online statistics so look up the show!

Dont just google it! Click links! Check the IMDB page! RATE THE SHOW ON BOTH GOOGLE AND IMDB AND PRIME. Interact with the casts IMDB pages! Get clicks, get site traffic going. You want to make sure that the traffic shows generated interest in the show. Check the wikipedia page! Interact with it!

3.) STREAM IT ALL THE TIME!

But you cant just stream a show and not interact with it! INTERACT WITH THE SHOW. Pause it sometimes. Rewatch moments you really enjoyed! BUT WATCH IT ALL THE TIME! If you can? Play it on multiple devices! If you have multiple accounts watch on all of your accounts.

4.) SEARCH FOR IT ON AMAZON!

Even if it's right there, type it into the search bar! Get the search popular, and let Amazon know that you're looking!

5.) LEAVE A REVIEW AND RATE THE SHOW

It's imporant to let people, especially streaming services know that you liked it! Anywhere you can, leave a review! Give the show 5 stars and tell them WHY YOU LIKED IT!

6.) Enjoy it!

Dont forget to watch the show to enjoy it! But if you didnt like it, or it wasnt your cup of tea and you still wanna see iron lung? Dont leave a bad review. That won't help. The goal is to help push Mark's show to the top, to show Amazon and other streaming services that hes not just a "YouTuber" who only knows how to play video games and small projects. Mark is so much more than that and WE know that.

And for the love of everything i need to emphasize point 1.

MAKE AS MUCH NOISE AS YOU CAN!!!

We have to get the show out there! There's no advertising for it whatsoever and thats BULLSHIT! We have our work cut out for us.

Make tik toks, post youtube videos, GET ON TWITTER AND MAKE IT TREND! FIND PEOPLE WHO'S SHOWS WEREN'T GIVEN A CHANCE AND SHOW THEM KINDNESS AND THEY WILL SUPPORT YOU!

But making noise on a website that will cause an impact is so important! If we want the show to get past just Mark's youtube fanbase. We have to make so much noise!

I dont know about you guys but i wanna see Mark succeed! I believe in him so much and so it's extremely importanr to get the buzz going!

If i missed anything that may help, feel free to add.

alright gang, the rumors are true. The Edge of Sleep is now live (US only ig) on Amazon Prime Video. and i get what some of y'all are saying, "there doesn't need to be marketing because of mark's rabid fanbase!"

But guys. Guys. This is not a YouTube project. I hate to say it but even 30+ million Markiplier fans is not enough for what needs to happen here, unfortunately. This is ultimately about breaking out of the YouTube-fanbase sphere and getting this show to mainstream viewership. That's the goal-- this is about showing that a "YouTuber project" (even though Edge of Sleep was made by a professional production company and isn't really that) can have appeal beyond a preexisting audience. It's about, big picture, legitimizing the contributions of online creators in making films and television products for casual viewers.

So yeah, it's time to break out not just The Plan, but The Strategy. What is that, you ask? You'll see--check back tonight. This is a call for all hands on deck.

We ride at sunset-- the edge between day and night when the world starts to go to bed. We ride at the edge of sleep.

Markiplier playing 'Flathead' be like:

[detectivemarkiprincess]

ITS DONE! HE SAID ITS DONE

[detectivemarkiprincess]

I just saw some idiot on TikTok say "Markiplier hasn't uploaded anything in 3 weeks. Long time viewers will know this isn't normal." BITCH THIS MAN JUST CAME BACK FROM NOT UPLOADING FOR A MONTH THE FUCK YOU MEAN THIS ISN'T NORMAL. This Man Who Owned Five Ovens habitually erases himself from all of existence for weeks at a time. This Short Ass Motherfucker could be in fucking Korea getting blood drained from his eyes and won't be back for 2 more weeks. This Squirrel King is the same asshole who promised us four times to upload something every day and broke that promise the very next week.

The fuck you mean "long time viewers" BITCH LONG TIME VIEWERS KNOW HOW NORMAL THIS IS. Long time viewers know him uploading every day ISN'T NORMAL. If we get a couple month of content it's awesome! But those are so few and so far in between. Do you really think this isn't normal for the man who legit had people impersonating him on his own channel because he took a hiatus for like half a year. That lucky flannel having motherfucker disappears constantly, then reappears with some unbelievably AMAZING FUCKING QUALITY CONTENT LIKE WHO FRAMED MARKIPLIER OR A DATE WITH MARKIPLIER OR FUCKING IN SPACE WITH MARKIPLIER.

THE MAN IS MAKING A FUCKING MOVIE AND HAS DISAPPEARED FIVE TIMES ALREADY BECAUSE OF IT WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN THIS ISN'T NORMAL.

meme jumpscare

[detectivemarkiprincess]

Here have this GIF I made. it's been living in my head since I watched Mark play Lethal Company with Bob and Wade. I just constantly hear the way he says this in my brain and I needed a gif for it.

[detectivemarkiprincess]

I'm back with the best memes in the business folks

[detectivemarkiprincess]

So so much licorice… but hey at least Chica’s new legs are working! :)

[detectivemarkiprincess]

I don't think this is an unpopular opinion but I really hate when the audience of gaming youtubers critize the persons gameplay.

I see this a lot with Markiplier, as he is the only gaming youtuber I really take time to watch, and he has a more trial and error way of playing games, and people don't seem to like that because they find it annoying or tedious but I think he's very fun and entertaining, and despite him being an amazing gamer, he still plays clumsily, which makes him feel more human to me. Plus, he makes horror games less scary. Remember that time he fought off a giant monster in RE3 Remake with nothing but a knife, magic healing goop, and determination? Because I do, and that was impresive as hell, like I would have went back to my last save and gotten the appropriate weapons, like, Mark gets shit done and I appreciate that. He's like my dad.

Anyway, It's okay to want to offer advice to someone, or make a constructive comment but when you word things in a rude or condenscending way, like the person is too dumb to play a game, it is really shitty. I wanted to make this post because it's just been bothering me, like I go into the comments of videos and its a lot of people just critizing a youtuber's method of gameplay, treating them like they're dumb.

Glass Flowers - Darkiplier

Alternative name: What You're Made Of

Really proud of how this piece turned out. I spent around ~23 hours on it and used about 7 different texture brushes (try to spot them all haha) to make this. The egos mean a lot to me, especially Darkiplier, so I tried to make something that encapsulates how I feel about his story.

Hope you like it too! :)

[detectivemarkiprincess]

if this gets 50,000 notes I'll edit markiplier into the top left of the entire fnaf movie

[detectivemarkiprincess]

I think when Mark dies his headstone will say one of two things. One. 'I have found my body's limits' or Two. 'Now I can push my body even further in the beyond'
