take your pick… anything of four different choices…

           of light.       hi, y’all! if you could send in some asks for ASSHAT CENTRAL here, i’d appreciate it! i’d like to get several headcanons set right off the bat! ask here!

This is going to be a sloppy amalgamation of words and emotions, but at this point I have several things that I would like to clarify before I get any further into this deep rabbit hole of a muse. If any of you have heard of Antimatter, then you’ll probably be more familiar with my interpretation of Dark, and how I believe he is to be portrayed. 

      He does not have feelings.                  I know that a lot of people (especially since the whole ‘Date with Markiplier’ video) seem to think that Dark is jealous and has actual feelings, but it’s my stance and belief that he IS NOT. If anything, he is MANIPULATIVE, callous, cold and sly. Because a lot of the fandom thinks him to be this murder crazy asshole who loves blood and gore, I would like to dispute this fact. Not ONCE in the entirety of Date with Markiplier did he do anything gorey, did he kill or harm anyone or anything. This does not mean he isn’t violent. It means he would much rather use his WORDS than actions (unlike another evil green fuck out there). He would rather talk his victim into a room and manipulate them, mess with their minds until they have no choice but to bend to his will. He’s calm, he’s collected, and he really only snaps a couple of times to try and show he has emotion, which he DOESN’T. He focuses on the MIND. The only exception is the video ‘relax’, but even then, it’s torture, but not bloody or gorey.                                          If you are under the impression that he’s some sad being who legitimately wants to make your character / you happy, I am saddened to say that you’re wrong. He is not good. He is not merciful. He is MANIPULATIVE.

       He does not care about anyone (but himself).                    Now, you see, one could argue that feelings and not caring are the same thing, but there’s a difference. He does not care. If someone were to come up to him and be like “hey, you’re an asshole”, he would shrug it off. He won’t say yes or no, he is absolutely APATHETIC. His entire speech is apathetic save for the parts about himself, about his ego, about how he was first. He wants. To. Scare. People. He wants. To make them fear him. He is not one of those “I AM THE NIGHT” people, he is actually legitimately scary and can and will do anything to fuck with you mentally.

        He is collected.                     Unlike Antisepticeye, he is very formal. In his last two appearances at least, he seems to be wearing a tie, a suit, things that seem to fit him. He cares about appearances. The scare factor. Things that you think would make him creepy, things that OTHERS think would make him creepy. He is mostly annoyed at everything, and he has got an ego. But he won’t shatter. He won’t absolutely lose his shit, and even if he does, it’s for a couple of seconds. For the shock factor. He is clean cut, not sloppy, and obviously VERY aware of what he does. 

              TLDR; take how the fandom interprets him, turn it on its head, and you got Dark. Cold, analytical, essentially the murderous left brain.

                                                    ——–I have more to say, I’ll add it later. Until then, have this.
