CLOSE YOUR EYES 

mark transitioning from close your eyes to slender man in 0.2 seconds would be the most markiplier thing ever done

Mark: “Let’s see who can keep their eyes closed the longest!” Listeners: *proceed to fall asleep*

5:25 Mark starts playing Slenderman 16:30 Mark starts playing Close Your Eyes

It’s been months They’re still closed. It’s ruined my life. But I will remain. Until mark tells me otherwise. I will keep them closed.

markiplier not even getting past the tutorial for the first 16 minutes solely because of distractions is the most relatable thing ever

Mark: "Close your eyes." Me, listening to this while driving: "Okay, J-man, you know what to do."

Im so glad wanting to sit on your feet is a universal adhd experience

eyes closed 8 months so far. It was weird losing a sense at first but ive unlocked new ones, ive started seeing even with them sealed shut, figures that talk. they have enlightened me, thanks mark.

I love that a single thump inspired Mark to revisit a 10 year old game before even starting the one he set out to play. This is the Markiplier content I signed up for.

Marks intros are just progressively getting more chaotic with each horror game

Ok, I am super impressed. The fact Mark could say "Lixian, flash back to 2012 when we were playing Slender Man." How in heck could he recall the exact year off the top of his head? I'm doing good to remember I've played a game before. Esp if it was a short game, or one that has a few hundred that are exactly the same theme.

For those that are too lazy to find and pause the video for the game list he flashes... Slender The pale demo Chimpychippasthegame NH2 Just stopping by Closeyoureyes The nightmare of the air balloon Lidar Liminal Vilomah Another princess is in our castle The hole in the cabin Schizophrenic rooms Gnarled hag There is a man on the attic The floor is breathing Just stopping by The pale demo Sonic the hedgehog Aftonbuilt Done Merrymarras I opened the door and there was a fish Come alive Subject 65 Fobia Somniphobia demo

The fact that Mark can be playing one game, and because of hearing a specific sound, play a completely different game is hilarious

It’s 2:30am. Mark said, “Close your eyes” at the start of his video. I did just that. And I immediately passed out. That was all at 1:30am. At 2:28am, I was rudely awakened by the next video. I heard a loud and very Irish “Top of tha’ mornin to ya!” I am now wide awake. Thanks Jack. Also, I WIN!

I love this video because it kind of simulates Schrödinger's cat in a box theory but its with closing your eyes, if you cant see then you should be able to walk through it.

The shifting in the chair is too relatable, the feet sitting. My actual position right now 😂

Markiplier should make a “Revisiting old horror games” series that would be so good

mark struggling to get comfy in a chair is some of the most relatable content ever. "This chair was designed for ass-sitters"

It’s been 11 months and 14 days. My eyes have crusted over and my hearing has become beyond enhanced.

i love coming back to your old videos mark, because in this one when you showed your 'to be recorded' games i genuinely read through them and recognized a good few that i watched at a later date; "the floor is breathing" , "there is a man in the attic" , "the hole in the cabin" just to name a few. It makes me smile seeing how far you've come. Congrats about the movie BTW ! : D

Mark playing Slenderman because of a single noise makes me laugh my ass of lol

if anyone ever wants to know what ADHD is like, show them this video

So neat seeing Mark go back to his root now that he's a real tough dude who doesn't afraid of anything

Markiplier playing Slenderman where there is a constant gravel stepping got me into a rabbit hole of different sound that a shoes and rough ground can make.

Mark being persistently uncomfortable in his chair is a mood.

Mark is the only RU-vidr that can get away with getting distracted and playing an entirely different game and I love it

Open eyes at 11:50 , it really got hard to keep my eyes closed after he "had something to show us." Clever move Mark :P

ive never felt more seen then mark talking about how he prefers to sit in chairs oddly.

Its almost as if Mark went “ADHD Awareness Month? Y’all are about to be extremely aware” for the first part😂

I love how mark just gets completely distracted and goes and plays slender man. This is so relatable bruh

This needs to be in Markiplier's Slenderman playthrough playlist. Unless if he decides to fully play through it, which would be fucking awesome

8 months after closing my eyes I have opened my third and forth eye I am an awakened being thank you mark

Mark: "Everyone keep your eyes closed" Also Mark: "Hey look at this. Look at this guy"

Mark: I got a new ADHD med. Also Mark: Starts game, waits, starts to play slender, starts to talk about chairs, starts to talk about darkwood, goes back to playing game, god i cant get comfterable in my chair,

It’s been almost two years now.. can I open my eyes yet Mark?

ive had it paused at 10:22 while i did some things and coming back it spooked / made me die of laughter staring at this one frame

Watching him revert back into early 2010s Markiplier as he gets further into slender actually put a smile on my face.

It's been over 3 months now....my eyes feel almost sealed shut but I have a new sense of the world. Thank you, Mark.

mark: "close ur eyes" blind people: ⚫️👄⚫️

Instructions unclear : haven't opened my eyes yet.. huh mark should I open or not ???

Mark just deciding to play Slenderman for the first several minutes is probably the most Markiplier moment of all time.

Mark: "close your eyes" Blind viewers: "it's my time to shine"

i love the editing on this video it feels like marcus came out of his shell

I will never not love it when a youtuber keeps a massive tangent in their video, even when it distracts from the actual original game and leads to playing an entirely different one for like 10 minutes

Mark: Close your eyes. Let's see who can last the longest. Blind people: I -see- hear this as an absolute win.

Mark just completely getting distracted with a completely different game/Slenderman rabbit hole is the most relatable example of ADHD I've ever seen.

It’s just nice to see Mark having ADHD moments. I just got diagnosed as an adult and it’s so dumb how much comfort I find in his constant fidgeting. It’s nice to know I’m not the only one 😅 thanks Mark!

I love it. I was just joking around about how I try my best to be chill and not invoke any demons while watching this video and the exact second I’ve finish a lamp in the corner of the room starts flickering

I really just want a 30 minute video that is nothing but Mark adjusting and readjusting his chair.

Due to Markiplier never telling us to open our eyes and even actively telling us to keep them close; I can safely say that I enjoyed the audio of this video!

I….I’ve had my eyes closed for months and have just opened them. So many things has happened…. My family. My friends. The world. Everything has changed and I don’t know what’s real anymore. I feel more natural with my eyes closed now. I feel at peace now. Thank you markipoo…. For showing me the truth.

ok but hearing Mark talk about Slender man while listening to the nostalgic Minecraft music in the background WHILE being high is such a randomly nostalgic experience. Hits all the good/interesting parts of childhood. Markiplier. Minecraft. That SlenderMan game where you collect the pages but Im forgetting the name of rn.

Watching Mark struggle to stay comfortable in his chair has to be the most relatable thing I've seen in a long while.

Mark: 10 years of youtube and horror game experience now. Slender: ... Time to put the fear back into this boy.

mark just randomly playing the og slenderman before even finishing the tutorial of a completly unrelated game is so real

It's really funny that I finished rewatching the Darkwood playthrough and you mention it here. I'm sad that the studio isn't making more horror. It was an incredible game and deserved real acclaim.

never in a million years did i ever think I would be watching markiplier go back to his roots in Slenderman. but I'm not complaining, this was one hell of a blast from the past

Markiplier wants to try to convince us that he's changed but we all know the truth. The past version of markiplier time travelled to the future and took over present Mark's identity.

Crazy how when we notice that we're uncomfortable we cant forget it. Idk if it's add or other mental health related, i do get my fidgety moments.

i love how he just casually starts playing a whole new game

2:53 Mark : close your eyes, close them, I know you haven't closed them Also mark : lemme show you something

Mark: Uncages an abominable horrific killer bag of skin.* Mark: Without hesitation walks as close to it as the game's collision allows.*

If I was the monster in a horror game and mark plays the game. I’m out of there. Mark genuinely scares me when he plays horror games.

I still love how youtube STILL just sees "Markiplier playing horror game" and categorizes it as FNAF. Everytime. Unless its actually mark doing it as a running joke Also I love how this just went into Mark playing Slender Man lol

Ah, 2012, back before Mark's voice had acquired most of its gravely nature via all the screaming he did in the interim.

Its been 10 months since i last seen the world… my eyes have crisped shut for all eternity i will be back to evolute everyone on the passing days. Farewell my brothers and sisters 😔.. Also keep up the great content mark, you always make us happy by just being here!❤️

I just love how Mark is cansantly "ooing" and "ahhhing"

Mark: We're playing a new game, today Also Mark: And here's Slenderman

Love how this started with one game and led into getting distracted to another game and fighting with chairs. Honestly, me.

14:23 The subscribe button lights up with a rainbow halo when Mark says: "Subscribe"

its been well over a year, i learned to use my pc voice controlled, i learned braille and morse, i feel like i couldnt even open my eyes if i wanted to, im not gonna risk losing tho. Mark, you truly changed my life, when i listen to your voice, it feels like i can see again.

Marks intros are just progressively getting more chaotic with each horror game, I love how Markiplier just completely forgets about close your eyes and starts playing slenderman🤭🤭

mark: close your eyes me: closes eyes mark, a minute later: okay close your eyes again me, my eyes still closed from the first time: h u h

I watched the entirety of the video with my eyes closed, and not like ‘oh I fell asleep mid way trough’, NO, I sat there, was able to make a depressed sandwich, eat the sandwich, and finish the video. So in conclusion; I WON!

I love how this started out as a let's play of one game, and then boom, Slender makes a guest appearance!

I love that Mark is still mad about the Darkwood shenanigans and failing at the 99% point because the tree mouth chomped his heel. Would absolutely love to see a sequel or just another game like that

Mark: going on a slenderman nostalgia journey Wade: HES SICK PUT HIM DOWN

this video came up from a playlist I started and fell asleep too, so I started with eyes closed and finished with eyes closed, and kept them closed for a few hours still. Good video btw c:

fell asleep and never opened my eyes until an hour after

The fact that I’m 20 watching mark play the OG slender game in this decade like it’s nothing is nostalgic

That footprint scare was actually genius, dang

It's been over a year since I closed my eyes, life has changed

remember watching this when it was made. thanks for putting a smile on ma face

markiplier when he was playing slender man, started talking more, sounded more excited, even used phrases like “bone me over” like he use to say. He even sounded like his old self. The nostalgia.

Mark getting side tracked over a single noise is the funniest thing, and has made me realize I relate to mark a lot more than I thought

someone with access to mark tell mark about the chair designed for ppl with adhd where you can sit in like a million different positions including squatting and cross-legged GET THIS MAN AN ADHD CHAIR

Yeah because that's what happens when doctor doesn't come in time :D patient just wonders around breaking stuff in building

Mark’s “To be Recorded” folder’s contents: Slender Close your eyes (obviously) The nightmare of the air balloon Lidar Liminal memory The descent Luggage Vilomah Another princess is in our castle The hole in the cabin Schizophrenic rooms Gnarled hag There is a man in the attic (Pretty sure just a folder but) Downloads The floor is breathing (need to check that one off the list) Just stopping by Chimpy Chippas The pale NH2 (?) Sonic the hedgehog editable rom Aftonbuilt (another that needs to be checked off) DONE Merrymarras I opened the door & there was a fish (?) Come alive Subject 65 Fobia Somniphobia For those that didn’t want to do the work of pausing on the 1 frame Mark shows it’s contents :)

People who use Mark's videos to sleep: *I have already won*

Mark in this video: "Hello everybody, my name is Markiplier and welcome to Close Your Eyes where we'll be playing the original Slender: the Eight Pages"

I own a cross legged desk chair with a wide seat to tuck your legs under you and has no wheels but it does lean back, raise/lower, and swivel. It is a little short but you can sit cross legged! Called an OLIXIS cross legged chair

"I've just been gifted chairs, chairs just seem to appear... somehow. I don't know how, but they do. Where am I?" - Markiplier, ADHD 2022

I had my eyes closed the entire time because this played when I was asleep 👍

Mark getting detoured by a single sound is probably the best example of his ADHD. Love it c:

its been a year... ive had my eyes closed for so long ive forgotten what my family looks like

Mark getting distracted by playing other games is the most relatable ADHD thing ever 😂

Mark revisiting an old game because of a single noise sparking some nostalgia is such a Markiplier thing and also is exactly the kind of thing I do

Funny thing is, i use mark’s videos to fall asleep so him telling us to keep our eyes closed throughout the whole video is easy for me

I fell asleep because of how calming your voice is 🫠

One of the extremely rare instances where Mark does not say, "Hello everybody, my name is Markiplier".
