So I watched the blooper reel of MarkiplierTV again
After watching the original video again (and seeing SO MANY comments from the last few weeks saying “omg this makes sense with WKM!!”) I decided to watch through the blooper reel again because why the hell not? I could use a laugh.
There was a scene in there that got me thinking, though. I don’t think it made the original cut.
I’m not sure this scene should be considered real “canon”, but Warfstache said something there that caught my ear:
“Y’know, I just feel like I’m a little misguided here. There seems to be all these misunderstandings where people just end up dying around me for various random reasons.”
And at first you think, well, y’know, typical Warfy, right?
But then Ethan says in response,
“Maybe you’re cursed.”
That made me pause, since Mark confirmed that the WKM house was, in fact, cursed, and that, in his own words, “the longer you stay, the more fubbernucked you is”.
Maybe some part of the curse has followed him all this time, since Mark also confirmed that he grew up in that house and has arguably spent multiple years there over the course of his life.
Maybe the whole “tickling them with a knife” thing was what he actually thought he was doing, because the curse followed him and tricked him into thinking he wasn’t actually hurting anybody.
Maybe, in his mind, they truly are “random misunderstandings” and he really doesn’t understand why so many people die around him– because the curse of the house makes his eyes play tricks on him, and when he snaps out of it, he truly doesn’t know what happened or why the person died.
But Ethan had more to say after that.
He grabs onto Wilford’s suspenders and says,
“Maybe THESE are cursed.”
And that made me think back to something else Mark confirmed canon about Warfstache over the livestream:
Wilford’s suspenders are pink because they used to be the Colonel’s red ones, but the color faded over many years.
And that got me thinking…
How many years did it take for that deep red to fade all the way to bright pink? And… how long were they in that house?
If he’s kept that same pair all this time… could it be possible that those suspenders carry the curse, and the curse still affects him, whether they’re worn or not?
I know it’s 1 AM and this might sound ridiculous to even myself once I wake up tomorrow, but I couldn’t ignore it. And again, whether or not that scene with Warfstache and Ethan is canon, it still brought up some interesting questions and viewpoints to me…
But remember… that’s JUST a theory— A LAME THEORY!
