I don't have a problem with gay people.
I don't have a problem with gay shippings.
I usually do not care, but I feel like there is a certain line that some people cross
when making fanart of things like...
..."Septiplier".
As you may know, "Septiplier" is a very popular ship between two Let's Players:
Markiplier and Jacksepticeye.
And most of the time when people illustrate light displays of affection, I really don't care.
But like I said before, there is a certain line that some people cross
and that's when draw a massive amount of hardcore, highly sexualized drawings of actual. living. people.
If I had hardcore porn drawn of myself I would not be very thrilled.
I'm not going to say something like "Oh, ban all these drawings!".
I'm just saying, I personally think it's a bit weird and disturbing.
But today I figured it would be interesting to get a more detailed look at the artwork of these people.
And with a staggering 10,000 results for "Septiplier", we have a lot to look through.
So let's begin.
What you will first find when browsing the tag of "Septiplier" is a bunch of photos
that are usually captioned or edited.
These are simple posts, often dedicated to the ship, and in some cases you will find pieces like this
which try and connect vaguely romantic behaviours, trying to "confirm" the ship.
It's kind of like the Illuminati, except for teenage girls.
The next level of Septiplier Strangeness is the plentiful amount of surprisingly high quality shipping art.
There's nothing that's special about most of these, but there are quite a lot of tropes that accompany this ship.
Such as the 𝐣𝐮𝐢𝐜𝐲 makeout pictures.
You gotta make sure to get 𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐮𝐞.

And then of course, you can't forget the massive amount of chic blush and nosebleeds.
Now, you may be wondering to yourself: "Nosebleeds? Why the hell is there nosebleeding?".
Well, the term originates from everyone's favourite subject:
Anime.
And it's usually used to represent a character finding something very sexually arousing.
You'll be seeing a lot of that when browsing through Septiplier art.
As for the actual artwork, it's obviously... *ahem* ...a bit strange.
But so far the anatomy is fine, even though Jack looks a lot more feminine than usual
but I'm pretty sure that's intentional.
But there are some things like their left arm, which looks slightly too large compared to the rest of the body
and this goes for the eye as well.
Also, Septiplier artworks are pretty much the death of any meaningful feedback.
If you make a Septiplier picture, you better be prepared to recieve tons of fangirls screaming at you
through the comments section.
"MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
NYEEEEEEEEEEES
THE SHIP IS SAILING
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
SO KYUT"
"Kawaii"
"my heart explodes with tears somehow... THIS IS SOOOOOOO CUTE!!!!!"
"So cute. I wish they would do this in real life."
This one is just a bunch of emoticons...
...and this one's simply:
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
*voice crack*
wwwwwwwwwwwwwwweeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!

Calm down. Jesus Christ.
It's just a drawing.
"No matter how hard times get, I'll always be here to stop you from making a mistake
and thh
and to help you THREW this."
"Please don't do this.. I love Sean"
Oh my god. I'm sorry, but this is hilarious, and- and of course this was used with a base.
And here we are again with another base.
I mean, I don't really get the point of these base pieces. Like, all they really seem to draw
was the hair and clothing. Which makes the clashing styles look pretty awkward together.
And since one of the figures in this base was originally meant to be female, they had a hard time
trying to make Markiplier look male.
Sure you could fix this with more edits but, wouldn't it be easier just to, you know, draw the whole thing yourself?
Then we have... Septiplier mermaids, or rather, mermen.
I- *sigh* I- I- I don't know.
I don't have any explanation for this, it's just another thing that... exists on DeviantArt.
Now, this is an example of shipping something obsessively
because I'm getting creepy vibes from this. I mean, this is pretty much a literal shrine to Septiplier.
Now THAT is some good censoring you got there.
I can not tell what that is supposed to be at all.
For all I know, Jack could be tenderly sniffing a wool sock.
*repulsive noise*
It hurts!
IT HURTS TO LIVE!
Now this wouldn't be a complete Septiplier video without mentioning a user I like to call:
"The Queen of Septiplier", cartoonjunkie.
Now there are two reasons why I call this person "The Queen of Septiplier".
One reason is because of the actually pretty good quality of these pieces.
Each one has a solid style, consistency, coloring, linework and anatomy for pretty much their entire gallery
and that is something I have to acknowledge.
The second reason is that this user makes SO MUCH Septiplier art.
Just an incredible amount.
I cannot emphasize how much Septiplier art this person has made.
Probably more than half of their entire gallery is filled with Markiplier and Jacksepticeye.
In fact, I often see many of their pieces on the front page of DeviantArt.
I'm... actually kind of concerned.
But whatever, this art's got high quality and it rarely passes in to the realm of creepiness.
Anyway, my name is Solar Sands.
This has been browsing DeviantArt.
Aaand, goodbye.
