After that little encounter with those girls, I decided to do what I haven't done in a long time. Check Twitter.
For a long time I haven't checked my Twitter. I used to go on it everyday to speak to my subscribers; It was how I stayed connected with them. I enjoyed my regular "tweeting sprees," as they called it. But after awhile, Twitter got boring. The once daily sprees turned to weekly. Then I started doing them monthly. And then I just completely stopped them altogether, along with tweeting the moment my newest YouTube video was up. I didn't really notice anyone complaining that I'd stopped them, to be fair. Twitter and I had just... drifted apart.
That is, until I decided to visit once again. Those 3 girls inspired me. They made me have faith in Twitter again. I'm not sure how, but they did.
When I opened the once abandoned app, it was like opening a Christmas present as a child. You expect the best gift in the whole entire world, but end up getting the bootleg version of what you wanted. This is exactly how it felt when I opened the app. The home page was filled with meaningless tweets from people I followed, along with ads from different companies, and the notifications bar was a complete mess. The messages bar, however, was a completely different story. When I pressed it, I saw all of these different conversations from a different person each time I scrolled. People who I don't know, nor recognized, we're texting me. I saw a lot of conversations saying I was dead, which is completely absurd. Some of these people must've just liked me for my tweets instead of my actual videos! But, those were only a few. Most of it was spam, honestly, so I kept scrolling... until I saw a text that caught my eye.
"New Message From: Markiplier
Hey! I like your vidyas. We should definitely record a video or somethin together sometime!"Oh my god. I knew that Twitter Handle anywhere. But... It's impossible for it to be real. It's most likely a troll account... Right?
How could the actual Mark get in contact with me? Why would he? I'm just a grain of sand in comparison to his millions of subscribers. It's impossible... Right?
Immediate questions flood my mind. How stupid would I look if this was a troll? Does he do this to ALL of his followers on Twitter? No. That's idiotic. He has way too many followers, and I'm sure he doesn't have a lot of spare time. But... I don't think you can privately message someone unless you're following them... Right? Oh geez... Oh geez, oh geez, Oh geez!
Ugh! Seán! Chill the fuck out! For all I know, it could be a damn troll and I could look like a major fool for freaking out over this!
After my freaking out scene, which consisted of me talking to myself and pacing in circles around my room, I opened the message and pressed on the name. It sent me directly to Mark's actual Twitter account. With the little verified icon there and all. And located right next to his name was a grey bar that said, "Follows You."
I didn't know how to react. The actual Markiplier, someone who I looked up to so much, someone who inspired me to keep pushing forward everyday, who made me want to actually get up in the morning, who inspired me to start doing YouTube, was following ME.
Me! A green haired leprechaun from Ireland who sat in his room all day recordin videos when he's suppose to be in class. Me! Who was just a number to his huge subscriber count. Me...!
Okay... this... This, I could NOT wrap my head around! Why was he following me? This is completely insane!
Wait... He texted me! And it was... It was only 30 minutes ago! So maybe he's still active...? Oh my god, I can't think straight right now. I've never been this confused, excited, and nervous all at once! (Well... Except maybe that one time... Ugh, Jesus! Definitely NOT the main focus now, Seán!)
I went back to the message page, amazed on how many people were sending me things every second. I'm pretty sure there's an easier way to go back to Mark's message, but I was in NO time to find out what it was! So, I scrolled down until I saw the marvelous Opened Message icon.
I reread Marks message, and almost instantly, my fingers shot across my phone screen.
"Hey Mark! I can't believe ur actually talking ta me!"
No! How lame does that sound? I mean it's exactly how I'm feeling right now, but I have to sound cool! This is Markiplier we're talkin about! When does the average person say, "Oh yeah, I've talked to Mark, he's cool and all."
...Never! So I have to sound really cool in front of him!
"Hey Mark! I like ya vidyas too! Yea yea, we should def play something together man."
What the actual fuck? Really Seán? Ugh. I'm trying a little too hard to be cool. Another attempt!
"Thanks bro! Before anything, I must tell you first that I love your videos. I basically know every thing about you, hehehe... Anyway, yeah we should play together sometime ;)"
.... .... .... No! Why was I even considering it? What the fuck, NEXT ATTEMPT!
This whole process of me contemplating over what I should say to Mark probably lasted a good 3 minutes. Finally, after 6 attempts at trying to sound cool, I stopped and just told him straight up how I felt. The end result was this text:
"Hey, thanks dude! That really means a lot comin from 'ya! We should totally make a video together, soon! We could play some G-Mod if you're up for it, I just recently got the game and it seems more like a multiplier thing!"
Bingo! Ding, ding, ding! Perfect answer right there! It has my thanks, my appreciation, the agreement, and suggestion! Whew! I honestly didn't think I'd be able to make such a perfect text!
...and now that I realize it, I wasted a good 10 minutes altogether on:
1.) Checking my Twitter after a long hiatus
2.) Noticing that Mark reached out to me, and texted me (still in shock, by the way!)
3.) Freaking out over the fact that he actually did text me, and it wasn't some troll (yay)
And 4.) Making a wonderful and absolutely perfect response message to his text.And now all I have to do is wait for him to answer back!
Wait...
And wait...
And wait....
*Bzzzt!*
~**~ Hey guys! This chapter is a little long, and I do apologize for that! But this was the most fun I've had making a chapter, haha! I don't know why, but I found it so entertaining to actually put you guys into the mind of Jack.(aka. Seán) I hope you all enjoyed this one as much as I did! See you in the next chapter! Peace! -ADP ~**~
