I feel it's dumb to think that "Well because there's still clips out there and it's still very much out there, just a bit less, it's a bad metaphor for death" because- Well, there's still going to be videos of you once you die. There's still going to be photos of you. There are going to be little snippets of your life once you die, it just won't be the whole picture.
That’s why I’m okay with all of the compilations and stuff When people die there’s still pieces of them, photos and memories and sometimes even videos What’s special is that we were there for the whole thing and we’re not peering in through a foggy window, trying to piece the experience together from what’s still around now
It's like hearing about a family member that passed away before you were born, you might know their name and things about them, you might see videos and pictures, but you'll never really know them unless you were alive to be with them, you'll never get the full picture
Ironically, evidence of this exists all over the internet. The pictures taken before disaster? The videos of RUclipsrs that have long since died? The cases you always hear of the deceased who are no longer around to provide clarity to how they died? The fact of the matter is that you can no longer create new memories with someone after they're gone. Reupload or rewatch as many Unus Annus clips as you want, because that doesn't change the fact that there's no more coming. It ended, finished, completed, and nothing more under that name will exist again. Nothing will ever be as powerful as the genuine article, taken at the time it was around, being there to experience that memory firsthand.
I watched Unus Annus from the start, and logically i understood the message, but when it actually disappeared was when the message really sunk in emotionally. Maybe it's odd, but it made me really want to get back into creating again. It was a fantastic ride and I'll miss it, but I look forward to what it inspires!
That’s exactly how I felt throughout the whole thing! I obviously knew it was gonna end, (Thanks to the intro and outro to each video.) but during the last few hours, minutes, seconds, and especially seeing the blank spaces on the YT app where the videos were before refreshing it, And the silence of my own neon blue bedroom clock ticking on after the channel was Thanos’d... I had a very similar feeling to when my grandma died when I was in high school...my last year too... And at the top of this year before everything happened...my uncle, aka, my grandma’s son... passed away too... It was tragic then, and it still hurts now, but it is also oddly...empowering too? I don’t know why exactly, but like, I miss them, but I’m thankful for them being in my life, and I wanna do everything I can to make them proud!
Yeah. I was in the same boat. Its strange. I don't think I ever really felt like that before. Like I was sad and all after it was deleted, but it was this weird peaceful feeling as well. It was a great conclusion to a wonderful saga.
@Davi Feitoza I think the reason they're quiet about it is because a lot of people think that people like Mark or Jack or Pewds dont desurve to be popular just because those people dont like them, these people usually being popular kids in school like jocks or bullies, the people in my school who do like Mark, Jack and Pewds are like the nerds and the geeks, I am a geek or whatever that's supposed to mean, I'm a gamer is what I mean, I love old music like Queen, Michael Jackson (I dont care about controversy so I will say that he DID NOT RAPE those kids and that IS A FACT), and Metallica, I also enjoy old tv shows and movies such as Looney Tunes, 101 Dalmations, and Tom & Jerry, I'm a kid in a teenaged emo goth body lol
about a week after unus annus had ended i found out that my best friend was moving away in 6 months. at first i thought that was so much time, but then in my head i remembered what unus annus did and how much time they had, and i took a backtrack. i made a note to myself, to cherish the moments me and my best friend will have together, and right now we have only 159 days to spend with each other before he must leave. if it weren't for unus annus, i would have treated these next 6 months as if i had all the time in the world, and i am glad that i was able to find a new perspective because of that.
I never got to watch any of them, I’d heard about it before and kept telling myself I’d eventually watch them before they were deleted but never got the chance😭
I was there from the very beginning. the first video was posted only a few hours prior, the clock at the beginning showed 365:00:00:00. like you said in the video, Unus Annus gave me a routine. I am unemployed and I don't go to school, in the past year I've been staying at home doing nothing but staring at the ceiling thinking why am I wasting my life like this. Unus Annus gave me something to look forward to each day, for that year I would happily wait till 9pm and watch their videos. they really were a beam of light in my cloudy life. I am someone whose worst fear is losing control of stuff,knowing exactly when it was going to end made me feel calm, because I was able to mentally prepare myself for the day I wasn't going to see their content anymore. as the days went down I started to panic at the idea of losing something so important to me, so I did the unthinkable: I downloaded about 30ish videos, that are currently in my drive. the thing is...I still haven't watched them. I keep watching compilations, animations and other videos like this, but I can't bring myself to watch what I downloaded...it simply doesn't feel the same as watching it daily on RUclips. don't worry when I will be ready to let go of this, I will delete them. I know I will. watching the livestream was a blast, I've been there for all the 12 hours, from 9 pm to 9 am (what a great day to be insomniac), but it felt like watching a 2-3 hours video. as the clock reached 0 and the screen went dark I started crying. The feelings I was experiencing were different and incoherent with eachother: I was sad because it was over, I was anxious thinking that I wasn't going to have them cheer me up everyday, but I was happy to be there for the time it lasted, and happy to be there to see the end unfold. the next day I felt empty seeing the clock strike 9pm and there was no new video, and that was the moment I truly realised what had happened. this was truly a journey that I will never forget. no really, because I am getting a tattoo as soon as lockdown is over in my country lol. in the end, I am so extremely grateful to Mark, Ethan, Amy, the editors, and everyone else who worked on Unus Annus, because they made every single moment feel special, from the dumbest to the most serious. memento mori, et memento mortuis. Unus Annus.
No. It's valid. Your feelings about the channel, and the time you spent watching Unus Annus, and your story... All of it is an important part of how that wonderful, bizarre, crazy-but-weirdly-heartfelt adventure truly was. Even now, reading your comment, I'm choosing to spend my time reassuring you of how you chose to spend yours, whether it involved speedy downloads of sneakiness or presenting a tiny piece of the chapter of your life story that was this year, or whatever else lies ahead of you. And thinking about it now, I'm pretty sure that's one of the most important things that Mark and Ethan and the gang gave the Unus Annus community. They let us see that when we give someone our time, that's unconditional love at its absolute most basic unit, if such a thing can be measured. We can't just say "Oh you're a jerk, so let me just take back the 2 months I spent trying to be friends with you." Life doesn't work that way. And despite how much we try and ignore it, it never has. Honestly, I spent most of this year fighting off depression, and I don't think that finding Unus Annus was coincidental. The community surrounding the channel that would eventually die became very quickly a fundamental part of what made the experience so raw and real and tangible. And for me, it gave me a new perspective on a lot of other pieces of the human experience that I personally never considered. Prime example is the concept of distance. My family is currently all over the place right now, and there are days when it's difficult to get together for something as simple as game night. It's usually a roughly 52 mi drive to get to my parents, and don't even ASK how many miles to reach my sister several states away. And it hit me, after being a part of the livestream, that my sister and I were sharing the experience together, even though we were so far apart. So now, any time I make a drive to visit anyone, no matter how far away they are, I don't measure the distance by miles anymore, I measure in minutes. And as those minutes become hours, I spend that time in eager anticipation of how I plan to spend the next portion of my future. The clock stops, sure, but until that final second comes, I want to use the time I have to myself to prepare for the exchange of time between myself and those who share this planet with me. And that's a pretty big commitment, considering I'm an introvert, but you have to start somewhere I guess. But you want to know the best part about all of this? For me, from that point on....I have no room for depression when the time I could be using to hate myself is being given to someone else. Whether that person of the future is a friend or enemy, whether I meet them irl or on the net, or even whether we agree on the same things or not, I have no clue! But I do know one thing!! The seconds we share together have a weight that will shape our path forward. So memento mortuis, but also memento viventem... Remember the living.
I just remember having a hard time sleeping right after the livestream, I was legitimately grieving over a bunch of vids of 2 dudes drinking piss, swimming at night, and stuff like that. They made something so good, I don't think I'll ever forget them.
I owe you a great deal of thanks for showing me these clips. They unlocked inside of me a great sadness and pain I had thought locked away forever. It makes me so unbelievably happy that the tears just won't stop flowing. Thank you. From the bottom of my heart. Thank you! Never has pain ever felt this good. Never have I loved crying more than I do now. I just felt like it was nothing less than fair to let you know. And I want you to know that you helped bring a man back from a very dark place. You deserve to know. Now I'm gonna hit up Markiplier for the first time ever because his words are what brought me back. And fyi, I had to stop typing every few words to cry and wipe the tears. Again, From the bottom of my heart, Thank you!
I had heard of Markiplier, but never subbed to their channel. So understandably I had no idea about this until I saw all the comments on random channels I did watch. Though I never watched. I understand the message. I get it. I have had loved ones die, I have lost all contact with some friends I met along the way, I have lost artwork and written work. I can not turn back time to get them back. I have just my memories, and that won't survive once I leave this mortal coil ( I have no idea when that will be ), but I try to treasure every moment of my life. The idea behind the one year channel was wonderfully thought out. Folks will have good memories to share with each other. Keep living folks. Each moment matters. Soon it comes to an end for us all, one day. ♥️
I found out about Unnus Annus the day it ended. One of my friends was an absolute wreck because of it, but they _did_ recommend me one video of theirs, specifically the 'making breakfast with sex toys' one because 'if you can only catch one, that's the one you want.' And, honestly? I've had a really rough time as of late, and I hadn't laughed that hard in months. It was silly, but a good silly. I think I saw one other one, way before, without realizing it was Unnus Annus. I didn't know what it was, I thought it was just some vlogging channel, I thought the name was a goofy rhyme with Anus or something. Seeing it come and go, with so little between... It feels a lot like seeing someone I know, a face I recognize, pass me by. I don't know much about who they are, I don't know their name, but it still feels like something is gone. A fleeting fragment of something I didn't take the opportunity to be a part of. I actually had nightmares the night it ended from the void- the _sinking_ feeling, the knowledge of this thing that meant so much to my friend, that I didn't know about, was going to be gone. And, that in itself is pretty analogous to life, isn't it? Something or someone that you crossed paths with, but never quite made a part of you, yet it's absence stings all the same.
To be fair, I knew someone in middle school who thought splinters were called sprintles their whole life. Sometimes our brains like to switch letters around. But yes, it was hilarious.
Honestly, this is an amazing video, and on behalf of that i agree with everything you said, it really does feel weird knowing that one day you'll stop making videos like many other influencers. This video also changed the way i view the world, once again, excellent video! Thank you so much!
Unus Annus changed my life, this year was extremely difficult for me. Multiple times I thought I should just stop the hourglass. But I had one thought:I want to make the most of my time,and I want to live to see the end of ua’s. I watched every video,I was here since the beginning. I have meet so many wonderful people because of ua. I m glad to know that millions of others were there with me when the timer went down.mento mori,unus annus.
I remember when I discovered them, I was already slightly aware of them but I don’t think I got it then and moved on and forgot about it. Then a few months later I was feeling really depressed and saw an animatic of Ethan becomes a man, and then watched the whole video. And then watched more and for the first time in a while I genuinely laughed and smiled. And I cried tears of joy because of them, that night. And that’s only me discovering them, there were so many amazing moments that I wish to never forget. I stayed for the full 12 hours on that livestream and I will never forget it just suddenly being gone. As soon as it was deleted I got up and walked to the center of my room and fell on my knees crying. It was incredible. I couldn’t forget that last moment if I tried.
For anyone who still doesn't understand the point of the channel, and why it had to end, here it is: _Memento Mori_ so you can _Carpe Diem_ Use death as a motivation to make the most of your time.
I loved the idea behind Unus Annus , I personally couldn't watch all the videos and most of the time I thought I will watch them later ... but there is no later I believe a lot of people needed Unus Annus , paraphrasing Mark , in an age where people talk so much about what you put in the internet stays there forever , and with so many backups, streaming services, online entetainment , we ... or at least I forgot how temporary everything is. We have a set a amount of time on this Earth we were born in , we don't know how much time we have and yet the clock will NEVER stop ticking towards it's inevitable end. Some people will have a big chunk of their life without experiencing loss, of a friend or a family member but it will happen, Not to sound morbit , everyone you know will die , everything you know will one day end , so what will you do ? , cry and be sad cause all things will one day end. Or will you stand up and make every second that you have count , I know I wasn't appreciating the time I had with the people I love and I am making sure to change that now. So with that said , what are you waiting for?! the clock started long ago and it is NOT going to stop. Memento Mori Memento Mortuis for only the living can give meaning to death Goodbye for now Have a good day
I watched unus annus (technically) from the beginning. I watched the first couple videos when they came out, but then it kind of slipped my mind until 2-3 months had already passed. Then it clicked: this channel isn't going to last forever and if I want to experience it to the fullest, I need to catch up. It took me a bit because I have a busy schedule most of the time plus I'm easily distracted, but I finally caught up around the time COVID really started to hit America. I'm so grateful I decided to catch up and watch the videos from then on the way they were meant to be viewed (at least how I see them): along with Ethan and Mark (Unus and Annus). To live along side them and create memories along the way. They made me laugh, they made me cry, they made me feel wanted. Not a day goes by that I don't miss my daily dose of Unus Annus, but I get a sense of comfort knowing that I can watch Mark and Ethan's own channels and get a sense familiarity because, as you said in the video, it was a lot of the same energy for the most part, and also knowing that I'll always have those memories with me. And that was one of the purposes of the channel: for it to become a memory. Momento Mortuis. Unus Annus.
@@grinreaperoftrolls7528 yeah it's been that way recently... I just can't hear anyone talk about anything remotely close to death without having a panicattack...
I found Unus Annus in January after the video "Emotional vs. physical pain... Which is worse?" showed up in my recommended. Although I had never watched Mark and didn't even know who Ethan was, I clicked on the video. I enjoyed it, so I watched a couple more videos and then decided to actually look at what the channel was. At first I thought it was Ethan's channel, but I quickly realized Mark was in every video, so I scrolled to the first video. That's when I found out that this random channel was something much more special. Little did I know I would go on to watch almost every video and fall in love with the channel. Ethan and Mark became two of my favourite creators/people. I made fan accounts on instagram and twitter and met so many amazing people who shared my love for them. I cried many times over the thought of it ending, especially in the last month. When November 13th came, I tried my best to watch as much of the stream as I could. It went by so incredibly fast, especially the second half and the last hour. In the last few minutes I found myself extremely anxious. My legs were bouncing and my hands were shaking (despite the fact that my hands almost never shake). But then as the clock struck zero and the screen turned black, I felt eerily calm. And oddly enough, I didn't feel sad anymore. The second the channel was deleted was the second I moved from the depression stage to the acceptance stage, and I think that's beautiful. It was truly over, and that was okay. I sat in that profound 1am silence for a few minutes, and then went on social media to see what everyone else was thinking and feeling. After maybe ten minutes I went back to my laptop. I clicked on an unus annus video. Video unavailable. I searched "unus annus" and clicked on the channel. This channel does not exist. After that I wrote out a long paragraph, posted it, and went to bed. I still regret how I never watched about 25 videos, and how I didn't rewatch a lot of the other videos. I'll probably regret that for my entire life. I do have access to the videos, but no matter how much I want to watch them, I can't bring myself to do it. It won't be the same, and I guess I'm also scared that I'll regret watching the videos after they were deleted. So that's my experience and feelings about the channel. Sorry this was super long. Memento Mori. Unus Annus.
I was smiling up until the @12:59 mark when THAT music trickled in. I...I feel both sad and happy. Meloncholy if you will. I did finish this with a smile, but also with a renewed reminder that I can come back to anytime (provided the video isn't taken down). Thank you for making this. As well as all the content you create.
yeah same,, i miss being in 6th grade and just,, living? idk how to describe it but now looking back it was a happier time goofing with friends, and being a messy classroom, there were some rough times in there too. i remember then that i _wished_ for the year to end and my mental health wasnt great then. but, oh man. i kind of miss being in 6th grade
The only video I would ever consider rewatching would be "everything's legal if you're dead." That was my favorite video from the whole year, the best one. It perfectly captured the essence of unus annus. Memento Mori, Unus Annus.
Honestly, one of the best videos I've ever seen on yt. I didn't know anything about Unus Annus or about your channel before, but I'm glad I landed here!
remember when they said they were going delete a video early on the livestream and we all flocked over there and doubled the amount comments and saved it
I was not expecting to find this. I do agree with what was said. Me being someone who dropped and then got back into the channel, I wasn't able to see every video. While I may know a lot about the channel,I can't say I know all but I do appreciate its message. I am someone who thinks about death a lot, idealized it, wished for it, questioned it, so Memento Mori, remember death, wasn't a new concept for me. The thing that hit me about Unus Annus is how little I take time for granted. How I always push what I want off the table and put everyone else first when I really should learn to focus on myself. Unus Annus showed that to me in many ways, from me not being as invested in it as I wanted to be, to its year alone, and my life. I've only recently, after Unus Annus ended, have I realized how I want to live my life, it's just hard to get there. It's hard to start when it feels like everything around you is telling you you can't but you feel like you can all at once
Unus Annus really helped me with realizing how much time we have left. I sometimes obsess about it, but it is an important thing. I’m currently working on developing a comic story I want to make in the future at some point (I’m still a teenager, though, so it’ll be quite a bit). It’s a larger one and I’m very excited to work on it one day, but I’m not sure that it should be my first comic. I’m trying to come up with other stories, a little bit more lighthearted but everything I make turns out sad and somewhat depressing. I have some good ones, though. And I think they’re like that due to quarantine, so I shouldn’t blame myself. Anyways, Unus Annus helped me recognize how short time is, but I’m always scared I’m not using it as wisely as I can, even though I know I’m a human being. I just wanted to put something down here. Thank y’all and thank you Toon Ruins. Memento Mori Unus Annus
Having watched Unus Annus from day 1 and then finding this a month after the channel was deleted really instilled their message. I have decided, like so many others, that it was time for me to at least try my hardest to create my own channel and do what I have been afraid to do for many years. Thank you Unus Annus
this video. MAN, this video. i completely agree with you, especially with the part of watching the archived videos post mortem. it just wouldn’t feel the same as watching it live for the first time. mark and ethan have done a stunning job portraying this concept.
I started late, so I wasn’t able to watch about 100 videos, but oh my god the stuff I did see Unus Annus was so cursed But damn if it wasn’t the most beautiful cursed thing I’ve ever been a part of
We carry on. The invisible timer exists for everything. We carry on. We share our time. Memories are all that is left, but even they have an invisible timer. We carry on. We continue to share a piece of ourselves. Death is inevitable. Change is inevitable. Life is precious.
Their channel meant a lot to me, I was there from start to finish and watched every video. I never had a good handle on my life, so the 12 hour live stream did feel like 12 hours to me. I've spend a long time using my time wrong and never finishing the things that mattered to me. The end of Unus Annus meant something to me, and I never once thought they would back out of it. Watching the beginning of the end and catching up on everything I missed became my life in those last 2 weeks. It's not the first time I've watched a channel I loved die, not even the first time in a live stream, but it was the first time I saw it as a choice. They chose to end it. I chose to watch it end. And I moved on, with a new hole in my existence, and the desire to make a change in my life. To be someone different a year from now. To be one step closer to the reality I always wanted for myself. I can't keep asking myself how I'll change, or when I'll start. The clock has been ticking since I was born. I just have to accept that my time is limited, and one day I want to be proud of my life, just like they were proud. I told myself a long time ago that I didn't want to live life at a stand still or in my own limbo. I wanted to really enjoy my life, and I plan to try this time. I will always love that channel, and I will always miss it. But I respect that it is gone now. Momento Mori
I watched it from the moment I saw Ethan and Mark post about it on their channels. And when it ended, it hurt so much for 2 days. It felt like losing a friend, and only having pictures and memories of them. I agree with you, I cannot watch reuploads of their videos. It just hurts more, and feels so disrespectful. It feels wrong since most of those channels are trying to pretend to be the real Unus Annus. It's like someone impersonating your friend and saying they didn't die when they did. I know that's pretty dramatic but that's how I feel. I also love that people are still talking about it a couple weeks after it ended. It really shows the impact Unus Annus had. Momento Vivire. Momento Mori. Momento Mortuis.
A year of Unus Annus is like a life of you. No matter how many failures you have, how successful you are, you are going to vanish. But the thing that truly matters is, how did you contribute and how many ppl you have affected. Like Mark said, "It'll make sense when it ends". Everyone is going to die, that's the fact. No one on this Earth is Immortal and you can't take anything with you when you have died. Whatever you had done, will determine if you are a legend, a name, or a forgotten soul. Live for the moment, make the best memory from your every second because you will never know when will you die.
Thank you for explaining to the people that think goodness honest was pointless why the leftover clips aren't the same I tried watching a leftover archived video and I just wasn't smiling as much I just didn't enjoy it nearly as much
I remember when there was 3 hours left and I was like “damn it’s ending soon luckily not too soon though, just a few more hours.” Then boom 10 mins, 5 mins, 3, mins, 1 min, 5 seconds, 3,2,1, gone. It just flew by
I didn't cry during Unus Annus. I didn't cry during the livestream. I didn't cry when it was deleted. But for some reason, all these emotions just came out now. And not only grief for the channel- my own fears, the fear I'm wasting my life, the fear I won't be able to do anything about it. I don't know how. I try to think that as long as I'm enjoying myself, and making others happy, it's not wasted- but I could do so much. I could create, I could learn, I could discover. And I have time, I have all the time, but if only I could do something with it. Sorry, I got emotional. Lockdown doesn't have a good impact on my mental health. Edit: Well, at least my sinuses are clear like never.
Actually 3 days ago I just found out that this existed, but the message they put is beautiful, and I don't think I have the right to feel part of this fandom, I might have been able to see it, but I really can't go back in time
Awww 😭 Well in my heart, you are still part of it. If it impacted you, you have been a part of it in a way. It might have been post death, but to me that still counts 😭 (have to say though, I can’t speak for other Unus Annus fans unfortunately.) Memento mori friend 💕💕💕💕
I don't think it really matters that you weren't there for it as long as you understand and appreciate the message. Ofc you won't understand some of the jokes and you missed some great moments, but so did plenty of other people that were there for it. As long as you take unus annus' message to heart, memento mori, then I think you can call yourself a fan. ( And that's coming from someone who was there for unus annus)
I like to believe nothing is truly dead until the impact is gonna.... Unus Annus basically revived more so the message “memento mori” with their own wack twist added to it. I’d like to think that because you (and anyone else who has discovered it post death) are still impacted by it you are still part of it in a way. Still it is sad, and I wish that you were there because we would have loved to have you on that wack journey (that kinda sounded creepy, but Unus Annus was/is basically a “cult” so-) Lastly... If you don’t have the moment than you have the memories, if not the memories than the friends, if not the friends than the evidence, if not the evidence than the feelings and the message... if not the feelings than the impact.... Nothing ever truly dies but everything is still temporary. Time is always marching forward; it waits for no one. Memento mori friend :) Remember, you are loved 💕
Question: Could you do an Anamainiacs video? Either on the original, the reboot, or both. I know it's a comedic cartoon, but I'm starting to think all or at least one of the Warner siblings are autistic. I don't know, but honestly Wakko is my favourite. The middle child doesn't get enough love. All three of those children are my favourite. I don't know, it's a show that has a cult following but I'd like a neurodiverse intake on it? Also keep up the great work. You're the person who got me into Steven Universe. Gives me mad anima vibes and I love it! Peridot is my favourite. Also, do you watch anime or read manga? My favourite series is Bleach, and if you want to do a review or theory video I would love that. Congratulations on all of what you've achieved with your RUclips career!
Unus Annus appeared at a time of desperate need. My dad had just died in early 2019, and by November I was still trying to deal with his death, which was not going well. Unus Annus helped me accept death, and although I was still depressed, I was happy to be alive. I wanted to enjoy life while I could, Mark and Ethan really helped me out. I was there from the very beginning, and I was there til the very end. Memento Mori and Memento Mortuis, Unus Annus.
flash forward to 1000 years in the future, they find ancient remains of the Legendary Unus Annus gold play button. man in cloak: legend says Unus Annus would return even though it was destroyed. behold, it has returned! crowd of people in cloaks chanting: UNUS, ANNUS. UNUS, ANNUS.
Unus Annus helped my anxiety - weirdly by giving me more anxiety. I think the 'accepting death' theme helped me a lot, especially for last years. Not in the nihilistic kind of way, mind you. It's like closing a chapter of book and walking to the next one, regrets is a normal thing but it doesn't mean you need to live inside it forever.
I cannot fucking handle this right now. After the death of Unus Annus I really started to see what was happening with it, it was a coping mechanism, but I was unaware of it, now that it has ended I struggle to find happiness. Lately I've been trying so hard to fell better and I dont know if its helping. Thank you. This video is respectful to the dying wish but it also hits all the right places.
It was genuinely a privilege to be part of it, from start to finish, every day. It made what was a bad year far more bearable. And this is very much a worthy video about it. Memento Mori.
The problem I had was that it was not a case of death but rather a case of extinction. Things dont stop existing once you die , in fact more likely your evidence of life will be remembered . The only evidence now is memory which really isnt a good one.
i watched unus annus for 8 hours from when i got home from school to going to sleep, and i grew attached to the channel and a few of the vids, like the geriatric simulator. i screen recorded it with the thought id watch it a lot, but i havent looked at it since. it just doesnt feel right. and it scares me to know that only 4 million people saw it and half of them people will forget about it in 5-10 years
I stopped watching markiplier a while ago and I've never heard anything about this unus annus until pewds and ksi talked about it I'm so confused!?!?!?!?
Hey! (Tl;dr at the bottom) When Unus Annus first started, I was curious, but intrigued. And when I saw the first official video, admittedly, it wasn’t for me, but I still stuck by the channel until the bittersweet end. I watched as many videos as I could and during the livestream I made fan art, and conversed in the chat a bit, and it was really surreal for me to think that everything on the channel was gonna be deleted in only a few short hours... And those last seconds, they were the longest seconds of my life...ever! To say I was moved by the whole thing is an understatement! I felt sad, happy, thankful, bewildered, somber, and satisfied all at once! It has helped me put things into perspective and realize that death, while scary and inevitable, can in fact make life much more better, no matter what that life throws at us! Now obviously, there are situations that people shouldn’t ever have to be in and they have every right to want a better life, but even then, you have the power to do something about it instead of just letting life pass you by! My closing remarks, I’m currently trying to do animation and practicing storytelling, and also working to be able to collab with my artist friends, and the art/animation community in general, but I’m considering, when I retire, or die, (which is a long way off, but still) I might simply end the run of all my projects! I’ll close out all my animated series, I’ll bookend my comics, and somehow, don’t know how, I’ll say goodbye to my friends, family, my characters, my equipment, and most of all, everyone who helped me throughout my life! No matter how my life turns out! Now of course, that is a long way off, and all of this could be completely scrapped for something different! But no matter what happens, I’ll make the most of my time! And also, (this is for anyone reading this) doing nothing doesn’t make you any less productive than doing something. We all need occasional breaks, and that’s ok. 👍 Tl;dr, Unus Annus changed my life, and helped me to be ok with not having everything in place, and never being “perfect”. Instead, I can make the most of my life right now and do what I can with the time I have. :) (Sorry for rambling, I hope it’s not too much)
Great video! Unus Annus was a piece of conceptual performance art, and I love seeing people acknowledge that even if it isn't in those exact terms. Mark and Ethan managed to get so many people invested in this. People dressed up fancy for the ending livestream/funeral thing- they managed to get _me_ to put on a hastily thrown-together funerary costume for it at 1 in the morning! This is the power of art. It's not just old paintings of naked people and winged babies, it's this stuff too. Conceptual art is cool. This channel was proof of it.
My feet are aching And your back is pretty tired And we've drunk a couple bottles, babe And set our grief aside The Papers say it's doomsday The button has been pressed We're gonna nuke each other up boys 'Til old satan stands impressed And here it is, our final night alive And as the earth runs to the ground Oh girl it's you that I lie with As the atom bomb locks in Oh it's you I watch TV with As the world, as the world caves in You put your final suit on I paint my fingernails Oh we're going out in style babe And everything's on sale We creep up on extinction I pull your arms right in I weep and say goodnight love While my organs pack it in And here it is, our final night alive And as the earth runs to the ground Oh girl it's you that I lie with As the atom bomb locks in Oh it's you I watch TV with As the world, as the world caves Oh it's you that I lie with As the atom bomb locks in Yes it's you I welcome death with As the world, as the world caves in As the world caves in
Even seeing these clips of them is giving me all the feels - i pulled an all nighter for the live steam and i know i wasn't the only one crying when the clock hit zero... This was an incredible channel that made me laugh every day and I'm so glad they deleted it because damn, I've never felt anything like I did in that moment. Thank you for giving us this video to help us remember them.
As the clock ticks down we all scatter round and share a laugh or two, but when that clock strikes down we all gather round we mourn the loss of you, as life goes on and our own clocks tick we may lose track of time, yet the clock keeps going and time keeps moving as we’re all trapped in a bind, when my clock strikes and my time comes I hope that I won’t mind, I hope to leave with a smile as I drift off and die, and one last message to give to all and to close out our story, it’s a mindset for life, and it’s called Memento Mori.
In the blink of an eye, it was gone. One year seemed like all the time in the world, but then it wasn't. And, you know what? I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I took it for granted. I'm sorry I forgot. I am *not* sorry that I watched it. Memento mori,[̶̨̡̺̫͓̎̾̋̓̈́͌̄̇̽R̵̗̤̜͕̝̫͚̥̀̉͗͒̀͐E̴̡̋̃̚D̸͍͋́͗A̷̢̳̗̼̥̼̠̗͉̠͆̾̓̂̿̃͝͝C̸̢͕͕̰͙͍̞͍̣͆̑̈́̀̽̇̚Ţ̵̢̧͍̞͕̻̠̓̅́̕͝ͅE̵̡̤͕̲̙̬̝̜̦͕͛̄̈́͑̆D̴̗̻̉̿̈́͒̑̍]̸̢̨̞͈̺̳̤̏̄͐͜͠.

Unus Annus cult, sound off. I'll start - UNUS!
ANNUS!

I feel it's dumb to think that "Well because there's still clips out there and it's still very much out there, just a bit less, it's a bad metaphor for death" because- Well, there's still going to be videos of you once you die. There's still going to be photos of you. There are going to be little snippets of your life once you die, it just won't be the whole picture.
Exactly!! There are always going to bits and pieces and the memories, but that doesn't change the fact that majority of it is gone.
And even though there are people out there posting full videos they will never know the true feeling of being there when it was going on
That’s why I’m okay with all of the compilations and stuff
When people die there’s still pieces of them, photos and memories and sometimes even videos
What’s special is that we were there for the whole thing and we’re not peering in through a foggy window, trying to piece the experience together from what’s still around now
It's like hearing about a family member that passed away before you were born, you might know their name and things about them, you might see videos and pictures, but you'll never really know them unless you were alive to be with them, you'll never get the full picture
Ironically, evidence of this exists all over the internet. The pictures taken before disaster? The videos of RUclipsrs that have long since died? The cases you always hear of the deceased who are no longer around to provide clarity to how they died?
The fact of the matter is that you can no longer create new memories with someone after they're gone. Reupload or rewatch as many Unus Annus clips as you want, because that doesn't change the fact that there's no more coming. It ended, finished, completed, and nothing more under that name will exist again. Nothing will ever be as powerful as the genuine article, taken at the time it was around, being there to experience that memory firsthand.
I watched Unus Annus from the start, and logically i understood the message, but when it actually disappeared was when the message really sunk in emotionally. Maybe it's odd, but it made me really want to get back into creating again. It was a fantastic ride and I'll miss it, but I look forward to what it inspires!
That’s exactly how I felt throughout the whole thing! I obviously knew it was gonna end, (Thanks to the intro and outro to each video.) but during the last few hours, minutes, seconds, and especially seeing the blank spaces on the YT app where the videos were before refreshing it,
And the silence of my own neon blue bedroom clock ticking on after the channel was Thanos’d...
I had a very similar feeling to when my grandma died when I was in high school...my last year too...
And at the top of this year before everything happened...my uncle, aka, my grandma’s son... passed away too...
It was tragic then, and it still hurts now, but it is also oddly...empowering too? I don’t know why exactly, but like, I miss them, but I’m thankful for them being in my life, and I wanna do everything I can to make them proud!
Unus annus made me realize that I've wasted much of this year, and I'm choosing not to waste a single second more
Yeah. I was in the same boat. Its strange. I don't think I ever really felt like that before. Like I was sad and all after it was deleted, but it was this weird peaceful feeling as well. It was a great conclusion to a wonderful saga.
exactly the same with me
We will always enjoy our time we had with Unus Annus.
As Mark quotes Dr. Seuss sorta,
“It will Make Sense, when It Ends…”
You are honestly the last person I would expect to make a video on Unus Annus and I love it
Most people don't know that I'm actually a huge Markiplier fan. I've been watching him since 2014, I'm just very quiet about it. 😂
@Davi Feitoza I think the reason they're quiet about it is because a lot of people think that people like Mark or Jack or Pewds dont desurve to be popular just because those people dont like them, these people usually being popular kids in school like jocks or bullies, the people in my school who do like Mark, Jack and Pewds are like the nerds and the geeks, I am a geek or whatever that's supposed to mean, I'm a gamer is what I mean, I love old music like Queen, Michael Jackson (I dont care about controversy so I will say that he DID NOT RAPE those kids and that IS A FACT), and Metallica, I also enjoy old tv shows and movies such as Looney Tunes, 101 Dalmations, and Tom & Jerry, I'm a kid in a teenaged emo goth body lol
about a week after unus annus had ended i found out that my best friend was moving away in 6 months. at first i thought that was so much time, but then in my head i remembered what unus annus did and how much time they had, and i took a backtrack. i made a note to myself, to cherish the moments me and my best friend will have together, and right now we have only 159 days to spend with each other before he must leave. if it weren't for unus annus, i would have treated these next 6 months as if i had all the time in the world, and i am glad that i was able to find a new perspective because of that.
dimidium annum. half a year.
I hope you guys enjoy your time together ❤️
you are lucky you can still hang out with them! atleast you wont loose them forever like i did... right?

@@lovegreen6366 because they're typoing the actual slogan "Memento Mori"
@@lovegreen6366 Watch the video
I was there from the very beginning. the first video was posted only a few hours prior, the clock at the beginning showed 365:00:00:00.
like you said in the video, Unus Annus gave me a routine.
I am unemployed and I don't go to school, in the past year I've been staying at home doing nothing but staring at the ceiling thinking why am I wasting my life like this.
Unus Annus gave me something to look forward to each day, for that year I would happily wait till 9pm and watch their videos.
they really were a beam of light in my cloudy life.
I am someone whose worst fear is losing control of stuff,knowing exactly when it was going to end made me feel calm, because I was able to mentally prepare myself for the day I wasn't going to see their content anymore.
as the days went down I started to panic at the idea of losing something so important to me, so I did the unthinkable: I downloaded about 30ish videos, that are currently in my drive.
the thing is...I still haven't watched them.
I keep watching compilations, animations and other videos like this, but I can't bring myself to watch what I downloaded...it simply doesn't feel the same as watching it daily on RUclips.
don't worry when I will be ready to let go of this, I will delete them. I know I will.
watching the livestream was a blast, I've been there for all the 12 hours, from 9 pm to 9 am (what a great day to be insomniac), but it felt like watching a 2-3 hours video.
as the clock reached 0 and the screen went dark I started crying.
The feelings I was experiencing were different and incoherent with eachother: I was sad because it was over, I was anxious thinking that I wasn't going to have them cheer me up everyday, but I was happy to be there for the time it lasted, and happy to be there to see the end unfold.
the next day I felt empty seeing the clock strike 9pm and there was no new video, and that was the moment I truly realised what had happened.
this was truly a journey that I will never forget.
no really, because I am getting a tattoo as soon as lockdown is over in my country lol.
in the end, I am so extremely grateful to Mark, Ethan, Amy, the editors, and everyone else who worked on Unus Annus, because they made every single moment feel special, from the dumbest to the most serious.
memento mori, et memento mortuis.
Unus Annus.
oh fuck I didn't realise how much I was writing lmao sorry for everyone who's going to read the whole thing 👁👄👁
No. It's valid. Your feelings about the channel, and the time you spent watching Unus Annus, and your story... All of it is an important part of how that wonderful, bizarre, crazy-but-weirdly-heartfelt adventure truly was. Even now, reading your comment, I'm choosing to spend my time reassuring you of how you chose to spend yours, whether it involved speedy downloads of sneakiness or presenting a tiny piece of the chapter of your life story that was this year, or whatever else lies ahead of you. And thinking about it now, I'm pretty sure that's one of the most important things that Mark and Ethan and the gang gave the Unus Annus community. They let us see that when we give someone our time, that's unconditional love at its absolute most basic unit, if such a thing can be measured. We can't just say "Oh you're a jerk, so let me just take back the 2 months I spent trying to be friends with you."
Life doesn't work that way.
And despite how much we try and ignore it, it never has.
Honestly, I spent most of this year fighting off depression, and I don't think that finding Unus Annus was coincidental. The community surrounding the channel that would eventually die became very quickly a fundamental part of what made the experience so raw and real and tangible. And for me, it gave me a new perspective on a lot of other pieces of the human experience that I personally never considered. Prime example is the concept of distance. My family is currently all over the place right now, and there are days when it's difficult to get together for something as simple as game night. It's usually a roughly 52 mi drive to get to my parents, and don't even ASK how many miles to reach my sister several states away. And it hit me, after being a part of the livestream, that my sister and I were sharing the experience together, even though we were so far apart. So now, any time I make a drive to visit anyone, no matter how far away they are, I don't measure the distance by miles anymore, I measure in minutes. And as those minutes become hours, I spend that time in eager anticipation of how I plan to spend the next portion of my future. The clock stops, sure, but until that final second comes, I want to use the time I have to myself to prepare for the exchange of time between myself and those who share this planet with me. And that's a pretty big commitment, considering I'm an introvert, but you have to start somewhere I guess.
But you want to know the best part about all of this? For me, from that point on....I have no room for depression when the time I could be using to hate myself is being given to someone else. Whether that person of the future is a friend or enemy, whether I meet them irl or on the net, or even whether we agree on the same things or not, I have no clue! But I do know one thing!! The seconds we share together have a weight that will shape our path forward.
So memento mortuis, but also memento viventem...
Remember the living.
BOTH YOUR COMMENTS ARE MAKING ME CRY 😭🖤🤍 THIS COMMUNITY🖤🤍 Sending love to both of you!! 🖤😭🤍
This comment made me cry it hurts my head
Is it okay to ask for link to your drive? Id like watch them :(
I just remember having a hard time sleeping right after the livestream, I was legitimately grieving over a bunch of vids of 2 dudes drinking piss, swimming at night, and stuff like that. They made something so good, I don't think I'll ever forget them.
i couldn't sleep either
I'm glad you were a fan and you understand their reasoning behind a lot of things like reposting and why they were deleting it.
I owe you a great deal of thanks for showing me these clips. They unlocked inside of me a great sadness and pain I had thought locked away forever. It makes me so unbelievably happy that the tears just won't stop flowing. Thank you. From the bottom of my heart. Thank you! Never has pain ever felt this good. Never have I loved crying more than I do now. I just felt like it was nothing less than fair to let you know. And I want you to know that you helped bring a man back from a very dark place. You deserve to know.
Now I'm gonna hit up Markiplier for the first time ever because his words are what brought me back. And fyi, I had to stop typing every few words to cry and wipe the tears.
Again, From the bottom of my heart, Thank you!
I had heard of Markiplier, but never subbed to their channel.
So understandably I had no idea about this until I saw all the comments on random channels I did watch.
Though I never watched. I understand the message. I get it.
I have had loved ones die, I have lost all contact with some friends I met along the way, I have lost artwork and written work. I can not turn back time to get them back.
I have just my memories, and that won't survive once I leave this mortal coil ( I have no idea when that will be ), but I try to treasure every moment of my life.
The idea behind the one year channel was wonderfully thought out.
Folks will have good memories to share with each other.
Keep living folks. Each moment matters. Soon it comes to an end for us all, one day.

I found out about Unnus Annus the day it ended. One of my friends was an absolute wreck because of it, but they _did_ recommend me one video of theirs, specifically the 'making breakfast with sex toys' one because 'if you can only catch one, that's the one you want.' And, honestly? I've had a really rough time as of late, and I hadn't laughed that hard in months. It was silly, but a good silly. I think I saw one other one, way before, without realizing it was Unnus Annus.
I didn't know what it was, I thought it was just some vlogging channel, I thought the name was a goofy rhyme with Anus or something. Seeing it come and go, with so little between...
It feels a lot like seeing someone I know, a face I recognize, pass me by. I don't know much about who they are, I don't know their name, but it still feels like something is gone.
A fleeting fragment of something I didn't take the opportunity to be a part of.
I actually had nightmares the night it ended from the void- the _sinking_ feeling, the knowledge of this thing that meant so much to my friend, that I didn't know about, was going to be gone. And, that in itself is pretty analogous to life, isn't it? Something or someone that you crossed paths with, but never quite made a part of you, yet it's absence stings all the same.
No matter what happens, I'll always remember the time Ethan struggled to remember the word Skillet 👌
skrittle.... sk- skittle, skittle? no...
To be fair, I knew someone in middle school who thought splinters were called sprintles their whole life. Sometimes our brains like to switch letters around.
But yes, it was hilarious.
NOT THE SAD VERSION OF DISCLAIM OF ITALY IN THE BACKGROUNDHDSFKHDFKJHLSDDFSDF
Honestly, this is an amazing video, and on behalf of that i agree with everything you said, it really does feel weird knowing that one day you'll stop making videos like many other influencers. This video also changed the way i view the world, once again, excellent video!
Thank you so much!
I only got to watch, like, 6-8 of their videos and I regret not watching all of them.
Which ones did you watch?
Unus Annus changed my life, this year was extremely difficult for me. Multiple times I thought I should just stop the hourglass. But I had one thought:I want to make the most of my time,and I want to live to see the end of ua’s. I watched every video,I was here since the beginning. I have meet so many wonderful people because of ua. I m glad to know that millions of others were there with me when the timer went down.mento mori,unus annus.
I hope you are feeling better and are moving forward my friend, as she said: “remember you will die, but also keep living”
@@stingerjohnny9951 I’m doing much better,thank you.

6:53 Well until Ethan accidentally pulled the plug to the tv that the clock was on
I love how there are other people that like to analyze the crap out of everything!!! I feel at home :D
I'm not a scatologist (look it up), but I over-analyze stuff all the time too. It's nice here.
Nice
I remember when I discovered them, I was already slightly aware of them but I don’t think I got it then and moved on and forgot about it. Then a few months later I was feeling really depressed and saw an animatic of Ethan becomes a man, and then watched the whole video. And then watched more and for the first time in a while I genuinely laughed and smiled. And I cried tears of joy because of them, that night. And that’s only me discovering them, there were so many amazing moments that I wish to never forget. I stayed for the full 12 hours on that livestream and I will never forget it just suddenly being gone. As soon as it was deleted I got up and walked to the center of my room and fell on my knees crying. It was incredible. I couldn’t forget that last moment if I tried.
THE FEELINGS ARE COMING BACK TT_TT
can we just, never explain the reason behind Del Monti and just leave everyone else super confused about it
Ethan's "just a little more *FUCKING TIME!* " near the end of the tribute as so bone chilling.. Memento Mori. Unus Annus.
Memento vivere, my friend.
For anyone who still doesn't understand the point of the channel, and why it had to end, here it is:
_Memento Mori_ so you can _Carpe Diem_
Use death as a motivation to make the most of your time.
I loved the idea behind Unus Annus , I personally couldn't watch all the videos and most of the time I thought I will watch them later ... but there is no later
I believe a lot of people needed Unus Annus , paraphrasing Mark , in an age where people talk so much about what you put in the internet stays there forever , and with so many backups, streaming services, online entetainment , we ... or at least I forgot how temporary everything is. We have a set a amount of time on this Earth we were born in , we don't know how much time we have and yet the clock will NEVER stop ticking towards it's inevitable end.
Some people will have a big chunk of their life without experiencing loss, of a friend or a family member but it will happen, Not to sound morbit , everyone you know will die , everything you know will one day end , so what will you do ? , cry and be sad cause all things will one day end. Or will you stand up and make every second that you have count , I know I wasn't appreciating the time I had with the people I love and I am making sure to change that now.
So with that said , what are you waiting for?!
the clock started long ago and it is NOT going to stop.
Memento Mori
Memento Mortuis
for only the living can give meaning to death
Goodbye for now
Have a good day
I watched unus annus (technically) from the beginning. I watched the first couple videos when they came out, but then it kind of slipped my mind until 2-3 months had already passed. Then it clicked: this channel isn't going to last forever and if I want to experience it to the fullest, I need to catch up. It took me a bit because I have a busy schedule most of the time plus I'm easily distracted, but I finally caught up around the time COVID really started to hit America.
I'm so grateful I decided to catch up and watch the videos from then on the way they were meant to be viewed (at least how I see them): along with Ethan and Mark (Unus and Annus). To live along side them and create memories along the way. They made me laugh, they made me cry, they made me feel wanted.
Not a day goes by that I don't miss my daily dose of Unus Annus, but I get a sense of comfort knowing that I can watch Mark and Ethan's own channels and get a sense familiarity because, as you said in the video, it was a lot of the same energy for the most part, and also knowing that I'll always have those memories with me. And that was one of the purposes of the channel: for it to become a memory.
Momento Mortuis. Unus Annus.
My death anxiety isn't treating me well during this video...oml
I absolutely feel that. For me, it was so bad at one point I couldn’t watch unus annus or anything else even remotely related to death.
@@grinreaperoftrolls7528 yeah it's been that way recently... I just can't hear anyone talk about anything remotely close to death without having a panicattack...
This hit me hard. I never really thought of death on a day to day basis
I found Unus Annus in January after the video "Emotional vs. physical pain... Which is worse?" showed up in my recommended. Although I had never watched Mark and didn't even know who Ethan was, I clicked on the video. I enjoyed it, so I watched a couple more videos and then decided to actually look at what the channel was. At first I thought it was Ethan's channel, but I quickly realized Mark was in every video, so I scrolled to the first video. That's when I found out that this random channel was something much more special. Little did I know I would go on to watch almost every video and fall in love with the channel. Ethan and Mark became two of my favourite creators/people. I made fan accounts on instagram and twitter and met so many amazing people who shared my love for them. I cried many times over the thought of it ending, especially in the last month. When November 13th came, I tried my best to watch as much of the stream as I could. It went by so incredibly fast, especially the second half and the last hour. In the last few minutes I found myself extremely anxious. My legs were bouncing and my hands were shaking (despite the fact that my hands almost never shake). But then as the clock struck zero and the screen turned black, I felt eerily calm. And oddly enough, I didn't feel sad anymore. The second the channel was deleted was the second I moved from the depression stage to the acceptance stage, and I think that's beautiful. It was truly over, and that was okay. I sat in that profound 1am silence for a few minutes, and then went on social media to see what everyone else was thinking and feeling. After maybe ten minutes I went back to my laptop. I clicked on an unus annus video. Video unavailable. I searched "unus annus" and clicked on the channel. This channel does not exist. After that I wrote out a long paragraph, posted it, and went to bed. I still regret how I never watched about 25 videos, and how I didn't rewatch a lot of the other videos. I'll probably regret that for my entire life. I do have access to the videos, but no matter how much I want to watch them, I can't bring myself to do it. It won't be the same, and I guess I'm also scared that I'll regret watching the videos after they were deleted. So that's my experience and feelings about the channel. Sorry this was super long.

After unus annus I told my self I was going to try harder to enjoy high school because one day it will be gone and I'll never get is back
yeah same,, i miss being in 6th grade and just,, living? idk how to describe it but now looking back it was a happier time goofing with friends, and being a messy classroom, there were some rough times in there too. i remember then that i _wished_ for the year to end and my mental health wasnt great then. but, oh man. i kind of miss being in 6th grade
I hope this is the video that gets randomly recommended to people years from now. Memento Mori.

also this video was amazing, thank you. unus annus will live on in all of us forever
I was not expecting to find this. I do agree with what was said. Me being someone who dropped and then got back into the channel, I wasn't able to see every video. While I may know a lot about the channel,I can't say I know all but I do appreciate its message. I am someone who thinks about death a lot, idealized it, wished for it, questioned it, so Memento Mori, remember death, wasn't a new concept for me. The thing that hit me about Unus Annus is how little I take time for granted. How I always push what I want off the table and put everyone else first when I really should learn to focus on myself. Unus Annus showed that to me in many ways, from me not being as invested in it as I wanted to be, to its year alone, and my life. I've only recently, after Unus Annus ended, have I realized how I want to live my life, it's just hard to get there. It's hard to start when it feels like everything around you is telling you you can't but you feel like you can all at once
Unus Annus really helped me with realizing how much time we have left. I sometimes obsess about it, but it is an important thing. I’m currently working on developing a comic story I want to make in the future at some point (I’m still a teenager, though, so it’ll be quite a bit). It’s a larger one and I’m very excited to work on it one day, but I’m not sure that it should be my first comic. I’m trying to come up with other stories, a little bit more lighthearted but everything I make turns out sad and somewhat depressing. I have some good ones, though. And I think they’re like that due to quarantine, so I shouldn’t blame myself. Anyways, Unus Annus helped me recognize how short time is, but I’m always scared I’m not using it as wisely as I can, even though I know I’m a human being. I just wanted to put something down here. Thank y’all and thank you Toon Ruins.
Memento Mori
Unus Annus
Having watched Unus Annus from day 1 and then finding this a month after the channel was deleted really instilled their message. I have decided, like so many others, that it was time for me to at least try my hardest to create my own channel and do what I have been afraid to do for many years. Thank you Unus Annus
this video. MAN, this video. i completely agree with you, especially with the part of watching the archived videos post mortem. it just wouldn’t feel the same as watching it live for the first time. mark and ethan have done a stunning job portraying this concept.
this is one of the most emotional videos about unus annus ive watched after it ended. you did an amazing job, and you made me cry
I started late, so I wasn’t able to watch about 100 videos, but oh my god the stuff I did see
Unus Annus was so cursed
But damn if it wasn’t the most beautiful cursed thing I’ve ever been a part of
What if all of RUclips and it’s channels gets deleted from a glitch,hacker or google? And there would be a timer for the end? What would you do?
We carry on. The invisible timer exists for everything. We carry on. We share our time. Memories are all that is left, but even they have an invisible timer. We carry on. We continue to share a piece of ourselves.
Death is inevitable.
Change is inevitable.
Life is precious.
Their channel meant a lot to me, I was there from start to finish and watched every video.
I never had a good handle on my life, so the 12 hour live stream did feel like 12 hours to me. I've spend a long time using my time wrong and never finishing the things that mattered to me. The end of Unus Annus meant something to me, and I never once thought they would back out of it. Watching the beginning of the end and catching up on everything I missed became my life in those last 2 weeks.
It's not the first time I've watched a channel I loved die, not even the first time in a live stream, but it was the first time I saw it as a choice. They chose to end it. I chose to watch it end. And I moved on, with a new hole in my existence, and the desire to make a change in my life. To be someone different a year from now. To be one step closer to the reality I always wanted for myself. I can't keep asking myself how I'll change, or when I'll start. The clock has been ticking since I was born. I just have to accept that my time is limited, and one day I want to be proud of my life, just like they were proud. I told myself a long time ago that I didn't want to live life at a stand still or in my own limbo. I wanted to really enjoy my life, and I plan to try this time.
I will always love that channel, and I will always miss it. But I respect that it is gone now.
Momento Mori
I watched it from the moment I saw Ethan and Mark post about it on their channels. And when it ended, it hurt so much for 2 days. It felt like losing a friend, and only having pictures and memories of them. I agree with you, I cannot watch reuploads of their videos. It just hurts more, and feels so disrespectful. It feels wrong since most of those channels are trying to pretend to be the real Unus Annus. It's like someone impersonating your friend and saying they didn't die when they did. I know that's pretty dramatic but that's how I feel. I also love that people are still talking about it a couple weeks after it ended. It really shows the impact Unus Annus had. Momento Vivire. Momento Mori. Momento Mortuis.
Beautifully said. I kinda wish you were apart of markiplier team. This video was sooo good.
A year of Unus Annus is like a life of you. No matter how many failures you have, how successful you are, you are going to vanish.
But the thing that truly matters is, how did you contribute and how many ppl you have affected. Like Mark said, "It'll make sense when it ends".
Everyone is going to die, that's the fact. No one on this Earth is Immortal and you can't take anything with you when you have died.
Whatever you had done, will determine if you are a legend, a name, or a forgotten soul.
Live for the moment, make the best memory from your every second because you will never know when will you die.
Me: 5 seconds into the video
Also me: *sobbing* UNUS ANNUS *sniff* U-UNUS ANNUS
Thank you for explaining to the people that think goodness honest was pointless why the leftover clips aren't the same I tried watching a leftover archived video and I just wasn't smiling as much I just didn't enjoy it nearly as much
Video: **talking about Unus Annus***
Me: Ah yes... Who Killed Markiplier Saga.
*(this is a joke btw)*
I also watched the entirety of the final Unus Annus livestream, and I can also say.. that it DID NOT WHAT SO EVER, feel like 12 hours.
I remember when there was 3 hours left and I was like “damn it’s ending soon luckily not too soon though, just a few more hours.” Then boom 10 mins, 5 mins, 3, mins, 1 min, 5 seconds, 3,2,1, gone. It just flew by
i definitely look back on Unus Annus with rose tinted glasses but in reality the content was kinda cursed and every frame was a meme.
Geez, I didn't even know what Unus Annus was until after the channel was deleted, yet I actually got a little emotional watching this
I didn't cry during Unus Annus. I didn't cry during the livestream. I didn't cry when it was deleted. But for some reason, all these emotions just came out now. And not only grief for the channel- my own fears, the fear I'm wasting my life, the fear I won't be able to do anything about it. I don't know how. I try to think that as long as I'm enjoying myself, and making others happy, it's not wasted- but I could do so much. I could create, I could learn, I could discover. And I have time, I have all the time, but if only I could do something with it.
Sorry, I got emotional. Lockdown doesn't have a good impact on my mental health.
Edit: Well, at least my sinuses are clear like never.
My trying to listen to her and take her seriously but then "PEEN" is playing silently in the background 💀
Actually 3 days ago I just found out that this existed, but the message they put is beautiful, and I don't think I have the right to feel part of this fandom, I might have been able to see it, but I really can't go back in time
Awww 😭 Well in my heart, you are still part of it. If it impacted you, you have been a part of it in a way. It might have been post death, but to me that still counts 😭 (have to say though, I can’t speak for other Unus Annus fans unfortunately.)
Memento mori friend 💕💕💕💕
I don't think it really matters that you weren't there for it as long as you understand and appreciate the message. Ofc you won't understand some of the jokes and you missed some great moments, but so did plenty of other people that were there for it. As long as you take unus annus' message to heart, memento mori, then I think you can call yourself a fan. ( And that's coming from someone who was there for unus annus)
Now I feel bad for not see Unnus Annus but I console myself by knowing I didn't know about the Channel until now
I like to believe nothing is truly dead until the impact is gonna.... Unus Annus basically revived more so the message “memento mori” with their own wack twist added to it.
I’d like to think that because you (and anyone else who has discovered it post death) are still impacted by it you are still part of it in a way.
Still it is sad, and I wish that you were there because we would have loved to have you on that wack journey (that kinda sounded creepy, but Unus Annus was/is basically a “cult” so-)
Lastly...
If you don’t have the moment than you have the memories, if not the memories than the friends, if not the friends than the evidence, if not the evidence than the feelings and the message... if not the feelings than the impact....
Nothing ever truly dies but everything is still temporary.
Time is always marching forward; it waits for no one.
Memento mori friend :)
Remember, you are loved 💕
I miss them so much
The death of unus annus genuinely made me feel like I lost a close childhood friend it made me feel empty and depressed
Someone has been posting full videos along with using the unus annus channel name, and honestly, it's sad.
Thanks for starting with a mention of pee sauna
Really started tearing up with the Dance of Italy piano arrangement
Come on I just finished grieving! Why did you have to remind me
My father recently passed away. I never watched Unus Annus.. but sharing your memories and thoughts of this. It brings me so much closure.. thank you.
Question: Could you do an Anamainiacs video? Either on the original, the reboot, or both. I know it's a comedic cartoon, but I'm starting to think all or at least one of the Warner siblings are autistic. I don't know, but honestly Wakko is my favourite. The middle child doesn't get enough love. All three of those children are my favourite. I don't know, it's a show that has a cult following but I'd like a neurodiverse intake on it? Also keep up the great work. You're the person who got me into Steven Universe. Gives me mad anima vibes and I love it! Peridot is my favourite. Also, do you watch anime or read manga? My favourite series is Bleach, and if you want to do a review or theory video I would love that. Congratulations on all of what you've achieved with your RUclips career!
Unus Annus appeared at a time of desperate need. My dad had just died in early 2019, and by November I was still trying to deal with his death, which was not going well.
Unus Annus helped me accept death, and although I was still depressed, I was happy to be alive. I wanted to enjoy life while I could, Mark and Ethan really helped me out. I was there from the very beginning, and I was there til the very end. Memento Mori and Memento Mortuis, Unus Annus.
flash forward to 1000 years in the future, they find ancient remains of the Legendary Unus Annus gold play button.
man in cloak: legend says Unus Annus would return even though it was destroyed. behold, it has returned!
crowd of people in cloaks chanting: UNUS, ANNUS. UNUS, ANNUS.
Unus Annus helped my anxiety - weirdly by giving me more anxiety. I think the 'accepting death' theme helped me a lot, especially for last years. Not in the nihilistic kind of way, mind you. It's like closing a chapter of book and walking to the next one, regrets is a normal thing but it doesn't mean you need to live inside it forever.
I cannot fucking handle this right now. After the death of Unus Annus I really started to see what was happening with it, it was a coping mechanism, but I was unaware of it, now that it has ended I struggle to find happiness. Lately I've been trying so hard to fell better and I dont know if its helping. Thank you. This video is respectful to the dying wish but it also hits all the right places.
It was genuinely a privilege to be part of it, from start to finish, every day. It made what was a bad year far more bearable.
And this is very much a worthy video about it.
Memento Mori.
So all I get from this is I missed out on something. Great.
The problem I had was that it was not a case of death but rather a case of extinction. Things dont stop existing once you die , in fact more likely your evidence of life will be remembered . The only evidence now is memory which really isnt a good one.
I’m glad I was there and I watched all the videos. Memento Mori, Unus Annus 🖤
Memento vivere.
narration: serious, mark and Ethan gave their life to this channel
visuals at the same time: *ethan getting spanked with a spatula* waOh
What message does it give to people who only discovered it after it was gone, never having the chance to experience the channel?
Momentous Mori, Momento Mortuis, and most of all Vivamus Vitae.
i watched unus annus for 8 hours from when i got home from school to going to sleep, and i grew attached to the channel and a few of the vids, like the geriatric simulator. i screen recorded it with the thought id watch it a lot, but i havent looked at it since. it just doesnt feel right.
and it scares me to know that only 4 million people saw it and half of them people will forget about it in 5-10 years
just hit me that Unus Annus means "one year". duh.
Unus = Uno = One
Annus = Annual = Year
Damn this is so deep... makes me sad but also appreciate what I have!
I think I get the message now. Soon. It'll be recommended again
Memento Mori, yes, but also memento vivere.
Remember to live.
I stopped watching markiplier a while ago and I've never heard anything about this unus annus until pewds and ksi talked about it I'm so confused!?!?!?!?
I feel so bad, because you missed something truly magical.
@@brouhahahahaha yeah apparently.. 😕
Hey!
(Tl;dr at the bottom)
When Unus Annus first started, I was curious, but intrigued. And when I saw the first official video, admittedly, it wasn’t for me, but I still stuck by the channel until the bittersweet end. I watched as many videos as I could and during the livestream I made fan art, and conversed in the chat a bit, and it was really surreal for me to think that everything on the channel was gonna be deleted in only a few short hours...
And those last seconds, they were the longest seconds of my life...ever! To say I was moved by the whole thing is an understatement! I felt sad, happy, thankful, bewildered, somber, and satisfied all at once!
It has helped me put things into perspective and realize that death, while scary and inevitable, can in fact make life much more better, no matter what that life throws at us! Now obviously, there are situations that people shouldn’t ever have to be in and they have every right to want a better life, but even then, you have the power to do something about it instead of just letting life pass you by!
My closing remarks, I’m currently trying to do animation and practicing storytelling, and also working to be able to collab with my artist friends, and the art/animation community in general, but I’m considering, when I retire, or die, (which is a long way off, but still) I might simply end the run of all my projects! I’ll close out all my animated series, I’ll bookend my comics, and somehow, don’t know how, I’ll say goodbye to my friends, family, my characters, my equipment, and most of all, everyone who helped me throughout my life! No matter how my life turns out!
Now of course, that is a long way off, and all of this could be completely scrapped for something different! But no matter what happens, I’ll make the most of my time! And also, (this is for anyone reading this) doing nothing doesn’t make you any less productive than doing something. We all need occasional breaks, and that’s ok. 👍
Tl;dr, Unus Annus changed my life, and helped me to be ok with not having everything in place, and never being “perfect”. Instead, I can make the most of my life right now and do what I can with the time I have. :)
(Sorry for rambling, I hope it’s not too much)
Great video! Unus Annus was a piece of conceptual performance art, and I love seeing people acknowledge that even if it isn't in those exact terms. Mark and Ethan managed to get so many people invested in this. People dressed up fancy for the ending livestream/funeral thing- they managed to get _me_ to put on a hastily thrown-together funerary costume for it at 1 in the morning! This is the power of art. It's not just old paintings of naked people and winged babies, it's this stuff too. Conceptual art is cool. This channel was proof of it.
I didn't have anything nice to wear but I wore black and white
My feet are aching
And your back is pretty tired
And we've drunk a couple bottles, babe
And set our grief aside
The Papers say it's doomsday
The button has been pressed
We're gonna nuke each other up boys
'Til old satan stands impressed
And here it is, our final night alive
And as the earth runs to the ground
Oh girl it's you that I lie with
As the atom bomb locks in
Oh it's you I watch TV with
As the world, as the world caves in
You put your final suit on
I paint my fingernails
Oh we're going out in style babe
And everything's on sale
We creep up on extinction
I pull your arms right in
I weep and say goodnight love
While my organs pack it in
And here it is, our final night alive
And as the earth runs to the ground
Oh girl it's you that I lie with
As the atom bomb locks in
Oh it's you I watch TV with
As the world, as the world caves
Oh it's you that I lie with
As the atom bomb locks in
Yes it's you I welcome death with
As the world, as the world caves in
As the world caves in
I actually typed this all by hand and off memory XD
Even seeing these clips of them is giving me all the feels - i pulled an all nighter for the live steam and i know i wasn't the only one crying when the clock hit zero... This was an incredible channel that made me laugh every day and I'm so glad they deleted it because damn, I've never felt anything like I did in that moment. Thank you for giving us this video to help us remember them.
As the clock ticks down we all scatter round and share a laugh or two,
but when that clock strikes down we all gather round we mourn the loss of you,
as life goes on and our own clocks tick we may lose track of time,
yet the clock keeps going and time keeps moving as we’re all trapped in a bind,
when my clock strikes and my time comes I hope that I won’t mind,
I hope to leave with a smile as I drift off and die,
and one last message to give to all and to close out our story,
it’s a mindset for life, and it’s called Memento Mori.
In the blink of an eye, it was gone. One year seemed like all the time in the world, but then it wasn't. And, you know what? I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I took it for granted. I'm sorry I forgot. I am *not* sorry that I watched it.

That ending made me cry like a little baby what the hell
The gone gone dead forever. Hitted too hurt
i really dont mean to be that guy...but sadly.. November 13th ^^; i only feel the need to point this out because they timed it so that it would be deleted on a friday the 13th
it ended at 12 AM PST on the 14th for them.
