and this past week has been

one of the most incredible, of my time

on YouTube.

And it's gonna sound like a hell-week when I describe it,

because pretty much every day was so densely packed

and frantic, that it'll sound horrible.

But just know that I've been happier, than I've been

in a long time

in all my time on YouTube,

and probably my entire life,

I've never been this busy and this excited to work

on stuff like we've been doing this past week.

And let me just-let me set this scene for you. I got to back up a bit

before I can dive into that.

As many of you know, Tyler has been helping me out here and

Tyler is a guy I've known since the fourth grade.

I've known him for years.

We know each other... too well.

Like scary well, we get along that well

and it's just so good to have someone out there

because Tyler pushes me to be a better person.

Tyler pushes me to explore the ideas that I wouldn't

ordinarily do. And-and I don't want to sing praises to Tyler

and inflate his ego here, but he has been such a

good force in my life since he has come out here

that I can't help, but be so appreciative of him

just taking the risk and coming out here.

And Ethan as well if- Some of you guys would go like

"Who is this blue haired guy?" That's Ethan

Uh-His youtube channel is crankgameplays

and he's also here, helping me make videos.

And this past week... Starting on Sunday. Starting on

Sunday, we had this idea to do Disco Discomfort.

And it just spawned from this lets play that I did

where I was like, "Hey we should go out and we

should dance with fans."

And we did exactly that, and it was so much fun.

Like it was so incredibly fun. It was - it was just ridiculous

how cool it was, to go out and see you guys.

And be there with you, and just be in the environment

and be like, "Hey, lets have some fun today."

"Lets do something we never would've done

and just see what the fuck happens."

And it was amazing, because we just kept doing it.

Like the whole week, once we caught that spark, that one

thing clicked, in all of our minds going like,

"Holy shit, this is amazing."

Going out and being there with you guys and doing

these things with you guys and just having fun,

and going out and exploring new ideas.

And we didn't do it in the best way, we know that,

we didn't plan it very well, we didn't stack it up on days

and that's why there was only one video a week this week (he meant to say per day)

and I'm sorry about that, that is gonna change

that is back in line and back on schedule.

Ah, but it was just so - absolutely....

Ah! Fire building! It built like that spark that I always

talk about, the spark of motivation and the spark of like...

Oh!

The spark of passion.

That one fire that burns in your heart for what you

wanted to do. And I wanna MAKE VIDEOS!!!!

GOD, I LOVE IT!!!

Ah.

I can't help but be excited about it because,

this week has drawn, so much back into myself.

And it also made me realize.....

My short comings.

It's made me realize that I've grown - not lazy -

but, complacent in what I've been doing.

And I'm really sorry about that.

And - and I owe you guys the apology,

because it was an unseen thing.

Ah - ya know I've talked about before how

things aren't what they are

but they're starting on the road to become something

and I felt like I was walking down that path for a long time

and I was lost

like I've been lost because I've been wandering without

wondering where I was and what I was doing

and why I was doing it

And...

this week I can't help but gush to everybody that

listened to me and now it's you guys that gonna have

to listen to me, I can't help but gush

about every single thing I'm excited about and how fun

this is and how amazing it is to do it

and the responses been so good

I can't describe how much it's touched my heart

to see people looking at these videos we've been

making over the past week and go

"My god...

It reminds me of the old Markiplier."

(It sure does Mark, it sure does :3)

And that is just absolutely heart warming to hear

And I'm so happy that people can see the passion

that we've put in this and see the energy that

we've put in this and see the joy that it brings to

us and me

(Mark trying his best not to cry)

And I'm just happy of it.

And I

I could

tell you the details of this week

I could tell you that over the past three days

I've recorded eighteen videos

Not because I have to,

but because I wanted to

And over the past week we went out

and we recorded these videos with fans

and we've got hours and hours of footage

and w-we were editing until midnight

or later every single night

and then getting up at 6am

and going out and doing it all over again

And it's that PASSION

God! It's that passion that I had

back in the beginning of my channel

When I first started doing videos

I was doing them every single waking hour of the day

Because I loved it

Because it felt like I had something that was my own

Because I felt like I could control something in my life

And my life at the time was spiraling out of control

And I think it's paralleled right now

Like my life was kind of spiraling out of control

And it wasn't until I let go

the feelings of anger and hate

It was until I let go of that

which bothered me and it was until I let go

of these lofty unrealistic goals of who I should be

I came back to who I was

And who I wanted to be

(And now look at you)

And that's so..

Like it's a feeling I can't describe in words

Even though I'm shouting my words at you, trying to describe it

Uhh..

But I just want to let you guys know that there's so much behind-the-scenes footage

And uh

(stuttering) I

I came in on a great screenshot here

It's just

There's a lot of footage that we just got in the car

And what I want to do

What I want to do is

I want to make Monday vlogs come back again

Markiplier's Mondays if you want to call them that

but I want to bring these vlogs back again

And I want to recap and talk about everything that's happened over the weekend

all the cool people that we've met, the places we've gone, the things we've done,

And all the bloopers that we've recorded

Oh man-

There's one here

I want to go to it right away because

I was watching through this and it's just

Oh this is uh-

Okay this is during the uh-

Deerman!

This is during Deerman

It was such a beautiful day at this park

And what we did is we went there-

Jesus alright

Oh God-

Oh that's ME!

Oh Jesus that's me

I did not- I thought that was Tyler for a second there,

then I looked at the pants - I'm like "ah, shit

"Of course that's me".

*Mark inside deer head* It's ok..Subscribe to Markiplier

*Mark laughing*

*Fans laughing at Mark in deer head along with Mark laughing*

Tyler: Keep going!

Mark: What? Tyler: Keep goin'..

Mark: Why would I keep going he's dead.

alright fine then *Deer man Mark grunting*

*Mark laughing*

*More laughing*

Heh- Oh jeez- aw jeez

There we go *laugh*

Aw, that guy was- that guy was pretty shy

But he really came out of his shell, uh, later

towards the end of the day.. and it was really cool

to see me cause he was shy at first because he was

like "oh my gosh, it's you?"

But then it was just like- it was just like-

He came out of his shell and he was just really

comfortable and he had a lot of fun

and we ALL had a lot of fun!

We all had so much fun there.

A-And that's what really made it special!

Oh, here it is!

Okay, I found it.

*giggles*

Get em'!

Get em"!

Cause it- literally what it boiled down to

it was-

Oh, geez!

Oh, I forgot about that moment!

Ethan panned away...

PERFECTLY

so it showed me sh-

hang on.

It showed me...

shhOOOOOOOoooo

and then pans back right for the hit

right on the noggin- *laughs*

Mark: "B-but at what cost?"

Tyler: "That's my face..."

*laughter*

Aw, it's weird!

Me laughing at the same time I'm laughing!

Mark: "I was just leaning on his face!" *more laughter*

Oh my god...

Yeah, we- it- it was just- it was

so much fun...

recording with you guys!

And this was just-

this was just ONE of the days that we did!

But we did soo much more stuff!

Mark: "What was your name?"

Ellen: "Ellen."

Mark: "Ellen?"

Ellen: "Yes."

Mark: "You have...Heterochromia eyes!"

Ellen: "I do! Thank you for noticing that!

Mark: "Get a close-up on that."

Ellen: "They're very groovy!

They're a groovy mutation."

Mark: "Uh-huh."

Okay, I wanna talk about that moment real quick,

because...uh...

that was Ellen!

Uhh...and Ellen...

said-

later, after we met in that park-

uuhh...she wrote a Tumblr post.

And in it,

she was touched by the fact that I noticed her Heterochromia eyes.

And Heterochromia means your eye has two different colors in it.

And, it was just-

it was so heart-warming to see,

because that little detail meant so much to her

And that NEVER WOULD'VE HAPPENED

if we had not gone out to the park and tried to meet these people...

and dance with them for no other reason than just to dance with them!

And that was so...

it was so heart-warming!

Because after that day, it was so-

I don't mean to freeze on this frame. I'm sorry.

Alright...

*laughs*

And then we literally just-

we literally just danced with everyone that showed up!
