There's gonna be new fans in 2025 who have no idea what Unus Annus is and will likely never know, but Mark and Ethan still making dedication videos for it is still super funny and heartwarming
Unfortunately re-uploads exist last I knew so they probably will know but they won't know the experience of seeing it go by day by day like we did. Memento mori.
The wind blowing some of the withered petals as Mark was walking away was the most organically cinematic thing I've witnessed in a long time. Chefs kiss.
I love how Unus Annus gets tributes every anniversary because it’s meant so much to Mark, Ethan, and all of us. Unus Annus was an absolute masterpiece and I’m very thankful that I got to witness it happen in real time. Rest In Peace Unus Annus, you will never ever be forgotten.
@@thacobell4700that defeats the entire purpose of Unus Annus. You were supposed to be there for it. By keeping all the videos of it online, you're disgracing the legacy of Unus Annus.
My father passed away about a year and a half ago now. The fear of missing the day he passed, or his birthday, or even Father’s Day to just take a moment to think about him is gripping. However this video helped me realize, even if one day the day passes and I don’t acknowledge it for one reason or another, he knows I still love and miss him with all of my heart. Grief, Acceptance, Guilt, Understanding.
Same my life is just messy now he passed away in 2022 in 2nd June I kept all the memories of him in my heart it's been tough because I am only 15 now I always hoped my dad would live at least 80 years but he passed way at only 51.
Mine passed away February 2022 and this scares me to death still. But as you said Mark words feel oddly reassuring in a way. Even if I'm late I can always be there later, hoping he would forgive me.
@@shihabsharar7457 I'm sorry to heart that, since I feel you man. I'm 17, and I really wanted my dad to be around for my graduation, but unfortunately his cancer was just too aggressive. He was 58 also, so not much older than your dad. I know it's hard sometimes, but I guess we should live our life how he would want us to, right? So we try our best to make our fathers proud in the afterlife. Well, hopefully anyways lol.
I know it was such an incredible important chapter of RUclips and a lot of our lives but every year it slowly slips away but whatever happens we’ll all still come together and rejoice about what was late or not we could never forget
@@HaPpY_MaDdNeSsit was a channel mark and ethan did together. they uploaded a video every day for a year, and then deleted the whole channel at the end of the year!
This perfectly encapsulates the guilt of realising that you’re moving on from grief.. it can sometimes hurt more to realise that you’re growing away from what you lost more than losing it. It’s like everyday that passes, you both move further from what you lost and further from who you were when it was lost.
I definitely feel this way now that it's been a little bit since my dog and cats died. It's become easier to think about them and remember them, and I don't feel quite as sad nowadays since it's become more and more distant. Some days I feel guilty for not continuing to grieve them. But then I remember that they would have wanted me to be happy.
@@Escaky00A series of videos Mark and Ethan made together every day for a year before deleting the channel to show that nothing lasts forever and that people should be mindful of the time they have
Its funny in a way...no one actually died, mark and ethan are still still around. All we lost was a few hundred videos that are still in our memories and copied throughout the internet. In a way, nothing was truly lost, yet we can all feel the raw emotion of having lost such a landmark of a channel
@@Boiled-Oden sure there is, just like how theres photos, stories and momentos of dead people, but those memories never will be the same as the person(in this case channel). They are just memories
I am glad that Mark still visits his grave from time to time to still give respect that he will always be there with him may Unus Annus rest in peace in the afterlife.
@@thelivingzombie8403back in 2019 to 2020 Mark and Ethan started a channel that they would post something every single day on and after exactly a year, they would delete the channel. It was awesome and they had a ton of great videos.
@@owo_xanax5200pretty much. One time on that channel they ceremonially “died” and attended their own funerals, so this video could be symbolizing the memory of the channel, maybe his younger self, perhaps simply mourning memories that might already be slipping from people’s minds
Unus Annus really puts into perspective something I don’t often think about regarding. I never watched Unus Annus when it was around so I missed out on such a fun year. It makes me realize that death doesn’t just affect those who knew the person who passed on, the world now loses the opportunity to connect with something truly special and they probably don’t even know it. I never knew Unus Annus when it was alive, but the least I can do is say Rest In Peace.
Unus Annus is something I regret not keeping up with either. At the time, speaking as someone who discovered Mark when he still only had like 15-20k subs during the Slender era, I hadn't really kept up with him since the height of the FNAF craze beyond just checking in on his videos on trending games here and there. It was mostly because I felt like during that time he had been playing up his loud wackiness compared to how he presented himself before he hit 1mil. And I mean clearly a lot of people enjoyed that since that was when his channel boomed in subs more than ever, but I just preferred how much more sedated he felt in 2012-2013. What I hadn't realized for a while now was that Mark has sorta returned to that sedated-ness; though this time with much more confidence to him than the shy guy he was back in 2012. I hadn't realized just how much he had branched his content out, and I didn't realize just how much effort and meaning Unus Annus actually held until it was too late.
Because you need to live. And loving requires being present to see to the future. But living also requires silence. Moments to stop, reflect on where we are and where we came from. You don’t forget. You never do. It’s there exactly when it needs to be- for if you live in the past perpetually, your life truly begins to end.
I still don't think Unus Annus needs to end, _hear me out:_ Everybody only gets one, Mark and Ethan are done. Life is complex, nuanced, limited, and ever changing. Mark and Ethan doing it again would fly in the face of this idea..... ....but not the two of them gathering another friend, and repeating the project themselves with two different channels.... Never forget that you are not the same person you were 10, 5, or even _1_ year ago! And the only thing stopping you from dramatically altering your life (hopefully for the better, ya dingus!) are the hurdles you are willing to jump to get there! The best part about this would be to make it every 2 or 3 years, and every time the individuals change, grow, and get their own channel, one video a day for a year, delete on the 365th day. They could both get together, compare videos, talk about their previous Unus Annus which is no more, actually have competitions between the two channels, and start cremating because that coffin stuff is gonna get _ridiculous_ by the end. The end being so many of Mark's friends, and their friends, getting together to do this that there will eventually be _too much to watch!_ You might not like the sound of it, but what it will eventually become will be even more reminiscent of life! You only have so much time, you will only be able to do so much, you'll have to make choices, lament what you didn't get to see, enjoy what you did, coordinate with buddies and the internet to prioritize the best/funniest videos, try to get as much in as you can in a short time, and hopefully (eventually) crash the hell out of the RUclips servers as *ALL THAT CRAP GETS DELETED AT ONCE-* D'aw, crap, now you know my villain motivation behind this- *_QUICK,_* stop reading and forget that you actually went this far, you wonderful deviant, you! Just imagine 8 Unus Annus channels, simultaneously!!!! That should do it! If not, imagine Mark doing it with Wade and Ethan doing it with Bob (then Bob and Gar, Mark and Ryan, Ethan and Lixian, Wade and JP)
@@landonletterman831okay but that doesn't account for _the emotional significance_ of Unus Annus being over and simply over there are so many projects that get scheduled for a specific time frame - and then the massive support from the audience leads to a continuation being made anyways and it can be great! it can be wonderful. but it always makes it feel like the original _deadline_ wasn't actually as important as we thought it was, in the end of the day, wasn't a real ending... yes, a repeat of the project could be made to work thematically, you could find an explanation, and it would be innately an all new experience, but when it gets deleted, you already know how it feels you prepare yourself to feel the same thing you did when it last happened and because you are prepared now, you don't feel it not really
@@sourwitch2340 yeah exactly, these videos _are_ the continuation. unus annus was ultimately about how things always have to come to an end. now we get to see the aftermath.
The fact that it was 3 years now, how time flies. I'm happy that i got to have witness this master piece that Mark and Ethan both created, Will not be forgotten.
I just lost my sister in law this last month. Underlying health problems caught up with her, and it shocked my whole family, and we are still dealing with this new loss. She and my brother are much older then me, and they got married when I was still just a kid. So she has always just been a big sister to me. And one of my best friends. In 2020, my mother was diagnosed with Leukemia, and having lost her own mother when she was a teenager, my sister in law was a huge support for not just my brother but for myself and my little sister. One of the things we did together was watch all of Mark's "-with Markiplier" works. We both cried at the end of In Space. My family grows smaller and I'm faced with death and loss often. I Feared it so much as a child not just because ei was afraid to die but I was afraid of losing my the ones I love forever. It is so painful. But I've spent my life confronting my feelings on it. Exploring the fear and the sadness so I could understand and cope. It doesn't make it hurt less but it helps me grieve, to accept and to hold the people I have lost close to my heart. One of the reasons I've loved watching Mark's content for close to a decade now is because he gets it. Mark has given me and my family memories to hold on to and cherish. Like Unus Annus. Gone from view. But cherished and loved now and as long as we hold the memory.
@@Crowned_Jester I know. Sorry if the first few sentences of this comment felt out of the blue, but the idea behind Unus Anus reminding us of the limited time we have, It struck a cord in my heart with the raw emotions I was still feeling, am still feeling. I've seen a few more folks making similar relations to their losses, and I feel for them and I hope this video and the memories of Unus Anus, help to remind them of the good times, both with the channel and with the people we love.
I pray for you and hope you have a happy life spent cherishing the moments you still have with the ones you have around you. As time passes I hope you continue to make lasting memories and honor the wishes of those who passed by living to the fullest. May god bless you and your family’s soul.
I'll never forget this period of time, and how much it meant to you, Ethan, Amy, and everyone who was there to witness it. I'm proud of you all. Memento Mori.
@@Linkfan007Yeah it feels like some secret club with all the people that actually got to watch the videos. I didn’t know it was a thing either. Even with all the people reuploading them, it’s impossible to watch all of it in a nice order. That’s why I hate these videos lol. It’s a nice way to remember the event, but it’s a also a big “fuck you” to the people who didn’t get to experience it
@@trashyspeeds266 To be frank, the whole point was to highlight the importance of being there and that not everything lasts for ever. But I do understand how that can be frustrating
one of the biggest reasons mark is my favorite youtuber is his zest for life. he is a man who has been through a lot. very hard things. if you have followed him for a long time, you know that he had to go through a lot of grief. many people died. people important to him. despite that, he brings so much joy. whether in joy or sadness, he was always very sincere in his emotions and his desire to do good even when it hurt him. Whether it is when he cries with gratitude for his fans or when he cried to a tragic event, he has given many people a little strength to overcome hardships. Mark, you helped us during difficult times. I sincerely hope that we have done the same so far and that we will continue as a fanbase. in any case, you helped me. We love you mark. I give my respect to everyone who made you the man you are. A man who has acquired the esteem of 36 million people through his value. I know that saying that all of the ones who fell has their eyes on you can be intimidating but rest assured, if that is the case, they are all proud of you. I send you strength from France in the name of all those who look at you there. we love you mark and strength to all those who after the release of this video took the time to remember their dead. And sorry if my English is bad. I hate to point out that I'm French on comments or stuff like that but in this particular case, I don't want to be misunderstood or appear disrespectful.
Unus Annus taught me so much about grief and how to better deal with death and overall have a better outlook on life. Unus Annus helped me so much to grow as a person and I am forever grateful for that.
Unus Annus was an absolute masterpiece ill never forget. It helped through some rough times and im thankful i got to be there from day one. Memento Mori
Genuinely chilling, I feel bad for those who couldn't witness such an amazing project. It will always hold a special place in my heart. Memento Mori, Unus Annus.
I was one of those who really got INTO watching mark about a week before unus annus died. I will forever mourn the things I’ve never experienced, because I never will.
The second mark said he lost track of time I was in tears. I just feel like that fits the message of unus annus so perfectly. Like in some instances losing track of time can mean you’re not making the most of it, but here mark lost track of time because he’s busy making iron lung and living his life. It just hits super close to home and I’m really glad Mark is doing so well 🖤🤍
@@theskilledsnake Yeah, you're right actually. I got my membership the first couple days after that feature came out, I wish it showed more then 2 years max lol. I guess I was saying it like that was implied but it's not at all 😭
I got a harsh reminder of the brevity of time when my mother passed earlier this year. Sudden heart attack, she was gone by the time paramedics arrived. The worst thing is, I had been purposely avoiding her, avoiding the preaching and "come back into the Faith" urging that I always had to hear around Easter, every year. I thought I'd wait until well after the Easter season. Well over a month of not calling her. On Friday night I told myself, "I'll call her this weekend." On Saturday, I got busy and forgot until it was really late in her time zone. On Sunday morning, she collapsed and never got up again. My first words to my husband after letting him know, in numbed shock, that my mother was dead were, "I didn't get to call her." There's a sense of guilt that I fear might always be there. Call a loved one today. Hear their voice. Tell them you love them. You might not get another chance. The clock ticks for us all.
@@illegalak5152was a channel he did with Ethan(crankgameplays) where they made a video every day for 1 year then they deleted it and it was amazing and this year is the 2 year death anniversary
I love the way they still come back each year. I don't know how long they'll do it, but it's a nice reminder that us as a fandom are not alone in our missing it. It still brings me so much joy to this day. I give it some credit to helping save me at the time. I miss it a lot. memento mori
I truly hope they do it every year because I know although some will falter all the ones who truly cared will always come back and will always rejoice over this beautiful chapter of our life they may be gone but they will never be forgotten
It's been dead longer than it's been alive, but that doesn't mean we can't still remember the great times that came from Unus Annus. Rest In Peace!! o7
At the beginning of Covid, I had made a very close friend online, his name was lux and we were always into the same shit. Among us, undertale, delta rune, etc. one thing that he loved so so much was unus anus. I remember the day it ended, I watched the stream with him and every unus anus shit I could with him. In October of last year he had gotten diagnosed with a special type of brain stem cancer usually affecting 14 and below (he was 19 at the time) and unfortunately on November 14 2023, he passed away. I know he misses you guys, but never as much as I’ll miss him.
May he rest in peace. I'm sorry for your loss, man. I guess he's just spectating your run now, huh? :) He's proud of how you're able to persevere, no matter the hardship. And so am I, man. I'm proud of ya. Keep it going. Memento Mori, Unus Annus.
And THIS is why he deserves his movie. in 2 minutes, and with a locked off camera, he made us all feel. His acting, that gust of wind at the end, those quite nature sounds, keeping his face out of frame and using that deep focus so that only the flowers on the casket are properly in focus. This man is a creative powerhouse, and all of his projects get treated with importance.
I'm still in awe how well they've committed to this. Its really not like it never happened, it did just die. It was a crazy year and I'm glad to have been there the whole time.
It did truly die but yet we all know about it and can rejoice as a family who experienced this amazing chapter of RUclips it’s gone but it’s memory can never be erased
I find that so fascinating, how the channel managed to be like a social experiment by imitating death itself. Even the reuploads don’t recreate what that channel was, almost like watching video tapes of your past loved ones… knowing that you’ll never have a new moment with them again. All you have is a few snippets and your favorite memories from being with someone for 365 days. Jesus.
Unus Annus was the epitome of what RUclips was made for. People having fun, trying new things. No fancy editing, no high budget - just a man and his friend doing a simple activity - and sharing their time with the world. I think the reason I liked it so much was that it took us all back to a simpler time. Back before RUclips became so corporate, all about algorithms and statistics.. it was nice, it was cozy. But that can’t last forever - and now we carry the memories. Memento Mori, Anus Annus
the way that mark looked back at the coffin made me tear up a little, time flies so fast. death is upon us all, and unus annus taught me not to take time for granted.
@@mat_shadno one is dead but around three years ago Mark and Ethan had created a channel that they uploaded for one year exactly episodes every single day and by the time the one year anniversary head come up they would end the channel and since that year had come by they dated live stream for the death of said channel and it's been 3 years since that channel has been deleted I hope this helps you understand what this video is about
It’s actually really cool seeing the contrast between Mark’s and Ethan’s videos Black clothes + Flowers for Ethan White clothes + Flowers for Mark Truely a masterpiece, RIP Unus Annus
There’s so many people that don’t know about Unus annus and sometimes it makes me feel crazy because it’s something you could never explain you had to be there for it to understand it
To all of those involved in making Unas Annus: Thank you. Thank you for a year of fun videos. Fun jokes. Fun activities. Fun times. Fun memories. All the work that went into making it, the dedication and sacrifices, is always appreciated.
@@miriam.vlogss I looked it up it's pretty much like a video and the other channel or something like that where they pretty much recorded themselves doing stuff the entire day for 30 days. (Edit ) the video and channel got deleted so that's why they're commemorating it
I’m so glad I’m in the group of people that can say “I was there for this” the memories of the videos you created will always live on in the hearts that you touched. We love you mark! So excited for the movie ❤
I was always so stressed with missing episodes, but looking back, i am so glad i caught up, and stayed with this channel to the end. Memento mori, Ethan and Mark.
Man, sometimes i forget just how good of an actor Mark is. He REALLY sounds like hes holding back tears here. I feel like its better than most hollywood acting nowadays
Its entirely possible he was. Taking time to reflect not just on the past year and all he's accomplished but getting to remember the year he spent with his friend doing something new and stupid every single day would be enough to get most people a little misty in the eye and tight in the throat.
He is not truly gone, he is still remembered… respected… Loved… And admired. As long as we keep him alive in our memories, he is not truly gone for he is still watching all of us from the skies. We love you Unus Annus, thank you for making Mark happy those times, and me and everyone else… :)
I know this is about Unus Annus, but my grandfather passed away recently. We attended his funeral just a while ago. I really needed this. I had one grave to visit each year, now two. I will never forget them, thank you, Mark.
It actually hurts to watch this and think of the memories that are already 3 years ago and will only get farther away. But then I remember all of the joy and happiness that I got from watching every video until the very end. It will always be a marker for me now to see my own life as a gift and never to waste it. Thank you for all that you have done Mark, Ethan, Amy and the editors for creating something truly beautiful and special. Memento Mori friends....Unas Annus.
Merch and memories are the only thing we have left, god i miss it, i miss it so much. I think of it every day. I hate that we're only moving further and further away. Like you said, it really hurts, hearing the clock hurts so much, i miss it so much. It was a special time, Unus Annus was special. Memento mori. Unus Annus 🖤🤍
Someone said on Ethan's video "year one grief, year 2 acceptance, year 3 guilt for forgetting." Anotjer person said "Imagine if the different perspectives is like the other one is dead in another timeline" so like for Mark's video Ethan is dead and Ethan's Mark is dead thats why they are never there together, its because they are together just ones alive ane the other isn't.
I think it's becuase of the profound impact it had on so many of us. It's complex, like visiting a grave of a lost loved one. You re-live all of the memories, their legacy, their history. Everything hits you in a split-second.
I recently learned that I started watching Mark's videos about a week after Unus Annus was taking down and am really really sad that I missed it by so little. Mark you never cease to produce incredible content and please keep up the good work!
the symbolism of being late and paralleling how the grieving process actually works is so beautifully devastating. i will forever be so grateful i was there to experience the beauty of what you created. words cant express how special this has been for me. memento mori, unus annus
Momento Mori ⚪⚫❣️ I still remember watching all the videos and my grandmother was with me. Who passed away in 2021 and Unus Annus videos helped me a lot because of her being unwell and me and my family going through some tough times it gave a little joy in times of stress ❣️
Edit: Thank y'all so much for the condolences. February of this year, he was put on hospice so we could go home and focus on each other. We crossed off so many bucket list places, and when the doctors only gave him weeks to live, we managed to have 7 months together. So I know we made the right decision going home. Him and Eef share the exact same birthday down to the year, so it made Unus Annus that much more special to us. This hit way harder than it was supposed to. I introduced my husband to Markiplier back in 2015, and we watched Unus Annus together all the way to the end. He passed almost 3 months ago after fighting the last 3 years with brain cancer. I haven't been able to watch Mark the last few months because it was too painful, and when I did, this was the first video that popped up. Mark, you made us both laugh until tears rolled down our faces. Thank you for giving us something to bond over.
Sorry for your loss gorgeous, the world works in mysterious ways, it’s almost like a sign that this was the video you came back to. I wish you all the best ❤️
i love the cinematography in this. it’s so simple but so effective. you don’t see a shot of marks face, so it makes you really focus on the words he’s saying and how he says them. you focus on the passage of time with the wilted roses from the year prior. i just love how much goes into this memory of their amazing project
This truly a display of grieving our past selves - grieving all the opportunities we missed, or the broken relationships, or even grieving the good times we have to leave behind. There's so much time in a day, and yet none at all, and seldom if ever do we take a good long while to look inwards and backwards. Personally, I made a lot of bad choices this year, choices that I won't be repeating. But I'm going in what, I hope, is the right direction. I hope all of you are, too.
@@Pistolycharlesshut up, you probably dont know what unus annus is. the videos they created were the best on youtube by a long shot. so many memories were lost on the deletion date.
The sound of the clock still lingers between every thought. Hearing it out loud manifests a wave of emotions I’ll never be able to properly put into words, but in those moments I’m reminded to not take any of my time for granted. Memento Mori 🤍🖤
@@charadreamuur7229 My love, I know what it means. I like to add that to any post/comment I see with memento mori on it because it's a nice message to respond with. Also in rememberance of the final stream. Memento vivere to you as well.
Why and how does this make me feel so much emotion. I really truly feel grief over this channel. This time in all our lives. Lets always remember it together. ❤
Mark, Ethan. Unus Annus meant so much to so many of us. Two weeks before the end of Unus Annus, my dad died unexpectedly. I tuned in for the entire live stream, and cried for most of it. Saying goodbye to Unus Annus, visiting all those memories, grieving. It was what I needed to heal. Every year when you revisit The End, I am taken back to that night where we said goodbye to Unus Annus, and I said goodbye to my father. I cry not because it is over, but because it happened. And I have all those wonderful memories of that year. I cry today because, like my father, there will never be anything like this again. But I am so happy I was a part of it. Thank you, Mark. Thank you, Ethan. You brought me joy, laughter, tears, and provided healing I desperately needed in the worst time of my life. Until next year. Memento Mori. Memento Vivere. Unus Annus. EDIT: For those saying this is fake, or accusing me of "abandoning my family" or my father, get bent. I am sorry you were offended by me finding healing in a time of grief. Everyone else, thank you.
The clock ticking gave me chills. The year unus annus was around was a very special one. Not just because of the videos, but because it was a significant time in my life. Remembering unus annus brings back good memories in a special way that nothing else really can, and I'm very thankful for the experience and all of the effort that was put into it.
Wouldn't the ticking stop once the clock stopped? Is this a hint at something bigger happening. One of either unus or annus getting upset he was late maybe
@Starlight-ms3jx I think it's just another nod to the channel. Or maybe the countdown to its next anniversary. The whole idea was to kill the channel so I doubt they'll do anything but pay respects annually.
I'll never forget how happy Unus Annus made me. It truly made me feel apart of something, and it was truly beautiful. I will never be able to express how thankful I am for you, Ethan, and everyone who helped out with Unus Annus. Memento Mori.
It was indeed a beautiful thing to be part of. Memento Mori. :) Also, um…I'm really sorry, but this is a pet peeve of mine that has been getting worse every year… "apart" and "a part" mean THE OPPOSITE THINGS OF EACH OTHER, you can't use them interchangeably!!!! I'm sorry, but I've even been seeing like official things using "apart" to mean "a part" and they mean literally the opposite thing. You were not "apart" of Unus Annus, you were "a part" of Unus Annus, being "apart" of Unus Annus means you were NOT part of Unus Annus. I'm sorry, I really am, but this was the moment I snapped.
Unus Annus means so much to me. I have a tattoo of the logo, and I don’t get tattoos often or for fun. The channel helped me cope with so much and had such a deep underlying meaning while being so lighthearted and fun, I miss it every day. Memento Mori, Unus Annus. Happy late anniversary. 🤍
Its amazing how crazy and chaotic that year was. Hard to believe its been so long. Every now and then I'll still have fond memories of Unus Annus, and how it fit in to everything that was going on for me at the time. What a journey, there will never be anything like it again. Memento Mori.
I still think Unus Annus was the best youtube content ever created. I've been watching a variety of creators for more than 10 years, but never found anything as good as Unus Annus. Thank you for making it
Can't believe its been 3 years. The memorial is a cinematic masterpiece. It's so interesting how overtime people forget the grief, and this video reflects that. Thank you for all the memories
It really was. Especially with the pandemic happening in the middle of it. Unas Annus brought so much joy during lockdown and it was something that could be consistently looked forward to which was awesome. I miss it so much.
This year my fiancé and I got Unus Annus tattoos, it meant so much to us. It kept us sane during covid, and the tattoo is a symbol that we should enjoy the time we all have while we can ❤
I lost my mom to covid November 30th of 2020 and it's almost been three years and this actually helped me temporarily break a barrier to start processing the grief of losing my perfectly healthy mom in such a short time at such a young age. I haven't been able to. This helped. Just like when I was a kid, Mark helps when I don't know I need it
I did NOT expect to be getting the feels this year in this way...I didn't feel like this last year. Something about the way this video was so....genuine. Raw. Like he was actually talking to a family member/someone he cared about who had passed, that he genuinely felt _bad_ for missing the anniversary. It was very lovely, and very real.
Definitely! I'm also glad that so many other people were involved as well, their friends but also just everyone who was there when they went different places to try new things
Aw, Mark remembered!!! This had no right being so good... I think this is the fastest I've ever cried. It's a good reminder to us fans that we can't control the passage of time, but if we work hard, we can make every day special.
I was no fortunate enough to catch Unus Annus. I literally missed it by 2 days after. That being said, the impact it has on the community and the clips I've seen so far just shows me how much Mark and Ethan are loved and I enjoy celebrating this with everyone because of that
Last year, my Nana passed away after her 3rd battle with cancer, which spread into her brain in her final months. I often think back to the phone calls with my Grandpa, where he'd talk to her intermittently, tentatively trying to remind her where she was, and who he was, and who he was on the phone with before she'd drift off to sleep again from the intense medication, and the trickling pain of my Grandpa's voice then-after before the call would end. I remember the last time I saw her after writing a final letter to her, which took my Grandpa a week before he could read it to her without bawling, and her responding to me as she responded to him, in one of the few moments she seemed like herself, saying "It was beautiful," before offering a solemn smile. I miss her so much. Beforehand, she was a retired journalist who had decided to give fantasy, young-adult writing a kick. I was 8 at the time she released her first novel in 2014. She handed my adamant hands a hard-copy, and it wouldn't leave until the novel was finished. I was fascinated by the way she curated these characters, the setting, the villain, the mannerisms, The Grill, the emotion, the opening, and the end. I bewilderingly shared my excitement at show-and-tell, and oral language memorization where I asked the teacher whether I could say the word "stripper" because I heard mommy say it was bad once. The fueling creativity of this little world that bursted into whst would become my inspiration to be a filmmaker, where my focus strives today. The novel was Blackthorne Forest. She wrote 4 books before having a stroke, and wouldn't write her 5th and final until three years after, with my immense persistence and optimism, which concluded with the book being dedicated to me. I never read it, and that kills me. She had charisma, a memorable wink, and the greatest grilled cheese one could have. She was kind, considerate, stern, yet brazen with admiration of all the lovely people in the world. She was a lover, and I loved her. I still love her... And yet, I forget. I visited her grave once in the last 8 months, mostly for what felt like obligation, but maybe moreso for acceptance. The grass had finally grown over her burial site, and the little tree structured to it's left side had drooped the majority of its colored leaves. I was with a friend, and we sat, laughing and enjoying conversation, talking in gratitude of how lovely her grave looked, and her wonderful personality. It was celebratory, a feeling I hadn't truly grasped in loss before, let alone one so discouraging. I left smiling, without tears. Ironically, my friend, while driving almost got hit by a car directly after due to not thoroughly looking both ways. It's a silly memory now. Since then, her legacy seems stagnant, and often in the craze of my Senior Year of high school, beckoned by the stresses and necessities begged of me from societal pressure, I forget the true value of this life I'm living. But then, I look at the picture of her and I at her first and only book signing at a local winery when I was 9, or maybe 10. I see her books in the plastic bag I keep all my most meaningful material gifts or memorabilia from friends and events, or most effectively; I see the two decaying roses next to her funeral note, both of which my family had taken from her open-casket two weeks after she passed. I remember when they were fruitful, colored, and freshly bloomed, contrasted with the indescribable stillness of my Nana's corpse. I'd never seen a dead body before. I'd never been so still myself when I did. Nonetheless, the rose was a reminder of the blessing of life after death for her, and the optimism of what's to come in ours as they continue. But alas, as it droops, along with the thoughts of her, it seems as if life's become too far disconnected, and that the rose, that she, is left for the past to mourn over; that I'd abhorently moved on, like the gutless b**ch I must be. Then, there's Unus Annus. Then, there's this video. My Nana died on November 7th. Unus Annus died November 14th. The correlation of annual remembrance holds uncanny perplexity. I saw this video, the 3rd year, and initially drifted by it, simmering momentarily in it before blatantly forgetting it again. But tonight, I came back. I don't know why, but I came back, and while partly the algorithm's recommendation, fate, or urging, I knew there was a reason to see it again. I wasn't sure, until finally Mark says, "I won't be late next year, I promise," and low and behold, he puts a rose down, next to the decaying ones, and music crescendos as he once more motheringly mutters, "Promise..." I cried. I stare at the roses. On the screen, then back at the ones stood laying across from me. How is it I could've forgotten? How is it that I "so easily forgot?" I'm torn. I'm shredded, and I f**king miss her!! I miss Unus Annus, and I miss my Nana. I miss all they did for me. I mourn. I grieve. I conceive that familiar dread once more. But why..? What good does it do? I've been joyous, so why is it I cry again? Why is it I designate myself to mourning again. They're gone. They've been gone. They're not coming back, so why return to dwelling when I hadn't these past months, let alone the times when I was. It won't change what's happened. Stay joyful, and remember its value. Don't cry because it's over, cry because it happened... I'll admit, I couldn't resist, but I hope you do truly, genuinely understand what I'm expressing in some capacity. Death is not an end, and while often its impact diminishes, the memory truly never fades. It's a joy to know her pain has drifted. It's a joy to know Unus Annus dramatically shifted my comedy and outlook on life, just as her books had, and it lives on in joyous animosity for those who were blessed to experience it, and so has she. Death signifies a killing, yet ironically brings forth an impact, that's larger than life. Death births hope, or at least, it can, and that's what grieving becomes, a journey to hope. A darkness, flurishing to life. A seed turning to a flower. A stem, producing a flurished rose. Every year is a journey, and one that wndures itself with reflection of what came prior. It's beautiful, yet must maintain persistence, for as Unus Annus so thoroughly reminds us; the clock is always ticking, and everything must inevitably come to an end, and that's truly, truly beautiful. Thank you to Mark, Ethan, Amy, the Editors, the Guests (looking at you Alex Tima), and all the urine. You made something wonderful, and you allow me to joyously grieve, and many others the same. I loved watching that whole year, and it completely transformed one of the worst years of my life when I was 13. You guys brought, and still bring so much joy, and I'm forever grateful. God bless you guys. Momento Mori, Unus Annus. 💙🖤
Truly and honestly, I think Unus Annus was the best thing to ever come out of RUclips. What an absolutely beautiful adventure of a channel, I loved every damn minute of it, and I miss it everyday.
I never watched it but I’ve seen so many clips and even through those it’s made a lasting impression. I have a small tattoo planned from the one episode I actually watched . ❤
I'm sorry mark I never non u but my my uncle dieing last year to I now what ur going Threw I stop youtube and live streaming because If his his death only thing I Coupons witching every day and I have Really Suicidal thoughts so I get what u r going through and little Want to bet Worse. R.I.P Unus Annus
Unnus annnus was the worst and best year of my life. There was breakup, i got depressed, sh, ed, insomnia, then i got used, alcoholism but I survived, I grew, i learned to live for myself, and then I found the love of my life. So thank you for being there giving me something to look forward to after I thought i had lost all meaning. The timing was perfect. Never forget💕
The channel legit saved me in my darkest hour and reminded me to live again. I can't thank you and Ethan and Amy and everyone that was involved enough for that.
Good to know you had something I Missed it so fuck me also now mark barley posts anything and is always rubbing it in everyone’s face that they didn’t see it with constant references and videos like this
@@casey7655jeez, the person was just saying how it helped them get through a rough time. I'm sorry you missed it but you don't have to be bitter like that, plus mark hasn't referenced it in a while and the less upload are because of a bigger project mentioned in the video, other videos, and q lot of distractible episodes. If anything the movie and space are referenced constantly not unus annus
@@casey7655 How can you think like that? Do you lack all sense of empathy? It's like when a person dies. You are not "rubbing it" in someone's face that they didn't know that person when you mention them. You say: "Sorry for your loss." Look man, I missed it too, but have some respect for it.
Lost my dog of 15 years yesterday. These videos couldn't have been more apt. Reminds me to remember the good times I had with my pup, and to cherish every second we had. Memento mori.
I was so busy with my first quarter in uni I was also late, crazy how things happen and you forget. I didn't realize it passed until the 20th and didn't mind checking the channel for the video. I'm glad I did, made the same promise as Mark, won't be late next year to remember the channel.
Watching these memorials means so much to me. I was in a really dark place when Unus Annus first came out. Their content helped me so much and pulled me out of that place. I'm reminded how far I've come since then and I'm beyond proud of myself. Thank you Unus Annus for everything.
Hope you’re doing good and staying safe. If you need to talk to someone or need help, there are people who care, one of them me. Sending support and hearts. ❤❤❤
I love the little pocket of us that gather to these videos every year because Unus Annus meant so much to us. It’s a very special message and I’m sure we all find ourselves wasting our time one way or another. But deep in our hearts, we will always remember and we will always cherish. Momento Mori
It's only 2 minutes long, yet I still got a bit emotional... I think it's a testament to how special it all was. 2020 came with a lot of darkness, but those daily uploads were shots of light that helped us navigate it all. I think I speak for all of us who were there when I say that we will never forget
I am so thankful I got to see Unus Annus and experience it. It really helped get me through the worst year of my life (my mom passed, covid, struggling through my senior year of ungergrad, etc etc). Thank you guys for everything, I know coming up with video ideas and posting every single day was hard. But you helped so many of us, and we will always be grateful to you and to them. RIP Unus Annus.
•~• I didn't know you enjoyed Markiplier as well, and I'm sorry about your loss. I lost my mother just before the pandemic as well and found comfort in Unus Annus. PS. Bring back chibi meerah plz
There's gonna be new fans in 2025 who have no idea what Unus Annus is and will likely never know, but Mark and Ethan still making dedication videos for it is still super funny and heartwarming
The internet is where things never die, those fans can just watch the back ups that were saved or even just the compilations.
Unfortunately re-uploads exist last I knew so they probably will know but they won't know the experience of seeing it go by day by day like we did. Memento mori.

@@thacobell4700that defeats the entire purpose of Unus Annus. You were supposed to be there for it. By keeping all the videos of it online, you're disgracing the legacy of Unus Annus.
@@dyno8man it can also never be resurrected as it would defeat the purpose and name of the channel.
Iz Dat da 1 who killed himself by suicide attempt? Who's Annus?
My father passed away about a year and a half ago now. The fear of missing the day he passed, or his birthday, or even Father’s Day to just take a moment to think about him is gripping. However this video helped me realize, even if one day the day passes and I don’t acknowledge it for one reason or another, he knows I still love and miss him with all of my heart. Grief, Acceptance, Guilt, Understanding.
Same my life is just messy now he passed away in 2022 in 2nd June I kept all the memories of him in my heart it's been tough because I am only 15 now I always hoped my dad would live at least 80 years but he passed way at only 51.
Mine passed away February 2022 and this scares me to death still. But as you said Mark words feel oddly reassuring in a way. Even if I'm late I can always be there later, hoping he would forgive me.
@@shihabsharar7457 I'm sorry to heart that, since I feel you man. I'm 17, and I really wanted my dad to be around for my graduation, but unfortunately his cancer was just too aggressive. He was 58 also, so not much older than your dad.
I know it's hard sometimes, but I guess we should live our life how he would want us to, right? So we try our best to make our fathers proud in the afterlife.
Well, hopefully anyways lol.
I havent lost a father but I have lost a sister to cancer.
So I can relate. I wish you and the others here the best. @@foundationuser5043
"I promise I won't be late next year" made me cry. Unus Annus was such an important thing for so many. RIP Unus Annus.

@@GOJOSATORUWILLIVE”don’t cry because it’s gone, cry because it happened”
I'm not well informed, who or what is unus annus? And what happened it or him/her?
@@HaPpY_MaDdNeSsit was a channel mark and ethan did together. they uploaded a video every day for a year, and then deleted the whole channel at the end of the year!
This perfectly encapsulates the guilt of realising that you’re moving on from grief.. it can sometimes hurt more to realise that you’re growing away from what you lost more than losing it. It’s like everyday that passes, you both move further from what you lost and further from who you were when it was lost.
I definitely feel this way now that it's been a little bit since my dog and cats died. It's become easier to think about them and remember them, and I don't feel quite as sad nowadays since it's become more and more distant. Some days I feel guilty for not continuing to grieve them. But then I remember that they would have wanted me to be happy.
How profound, I've never found the words to express that idea. You're absolutely right.
I lost my mother at 11 years old, It hurts to know that im forgetting her, and moving away.
Yes. This is exactly how I’ve been feeling about my horse lately
You described it perfectly.
I can never overstate how grateful I am to have been around for Unus Annus. Memento mori.

Unus Annus really puts into perspective something I don’t often think about regarding. I never watched Unus Annus when it was around so I missed out on such a fun year. It makes me realize that death doesn’t just affect those who knew the person who passed on, the world now loses the opportunity to connect with something truly special and they probably don’t even know it.
I never knew Unus Annus when it was alive, but the least I can do is say Rest In Peace.
same
Unus Annus is something I regret not keeping up with either. At the time, speaking as someone who discovered Mark when he still only had like 15-20k subs during the Slender era, I hadn't really kept up with him since the height of the FNAF craze beyond just checking in on his videos on trending games here and there. It was mostly because I felt like during that time he had been playing up his loud wackiness compared to how he presented himself before he hit 1mil. And I mean clearly a lot of people enjoyed that since that was when his channel boomed in subs more than ever, but I just preferred how much more sedated he felt in 2012-2013. What I hadn't realized for a while now was that Mark has sorta returned to that sedated-ness; though this time with much more confidence to him than the shy guy he was back in 2012. I hadn't realized just how much he had branched his content out, and I didn't realize just how much effort and meaning Unus Annus actually held until it was too late.
It’s truly sad how unconsciously we start to forget about the ones we lost because of everything happening in the present
Its a defense mechanism. If you keep focusing on the past you will never see the future.
Fair, hence why I have a yearly notification on my phone for Unus Annus
Because you need to live. And loving requires being present to see to the future.
But living also requires silence. Moments to stop, reflect on where we are and where we came from.
You don’t forget. You never do. It’s there exactly when it needs to be- for if you live in the past perpetually, your life truly begins to end.
@@thelaughingrouge u right
@@pokegard never seen a better use for the reminders
I can’t believe a man talking to a coffin with no one in it made me tear up… love ya Mark! You’re doing great things
no one in it *as far as you know*
I still don't think Unus Annus needs to end, _hear me out:_
Everybody only gets one, Mark and Ethan are done.
Life is complex, nuanced, limited, and ever changing. Mark and Ethan doing it again would fly in the face of this idea.....
....but not the two of them gathering another friend, and repeating the project themselves with two different channels....
Never forget that you are not the same person you were 10, 5, or even _1_ year ago! And the only thing stopping you from dramatically altering your life (hopefully for the better, ya dingus!) are the hurdles you are willing to jump to get there!
The best part about this would be to make it every 2 or 3 years, and every time the individuals change, grow, and get their own channel, one video a day for a year, delete on the 365th day.
They could both get together, compare videos, talk about their previous Unus Annus which is no more, actually have competitions between the two channels, and start cremating because that coffin stuff is gonna get _ridiculous_ by the end.
The end being so many of Mark's friends, and their friends, getting together to do this that there will eventually be _too much to watch!_ You might not like the sound of it, but what it will eventually become will be even more reminiscent of life! You only have so much time, you will only be able to do so much, you'll have to make choices, lament what you didn't get to see, enjoy what you did, coordinate with buddies and the internet to prioritize the best/funniest videos, try to get as much in as you can in a short time, and hopefully (eventually) crash the hell out of the RUclips servers as *ALL THAT CRAP GETS DELETED AT ONCE-*
D'aw, crap, now you know my villain motivation behind this- *_QUICK,_* stop reading and forget that you actually went this far, you wonderful deviant, you! Just imagine 8 Unus Annus channels, simultaneously!!!! That should do it! If not, imagine Mark doing it with Wade and Ethan doing it with Bob (then Bob and Gar, Mark and Ryan, Ethan and Lixian, Wade and JP)
@@landonletterman831okay but
that doesn't account for _the emotional significance_ of Unus Annus being over and simply over
there are so many projects that get scheduled for a specific time frame - and then the massive support from the audience leads to a continuation being made anyways
and it can be great!
it can be wonderful.
but it always makes it feel like the original _deadline_ wasn't actually as important as we thought it was, in the end of the day, wasn't a real ending... yes, a repeat of the project could be made to work thematically, you could find an explanation, and it would be innately an all new experience, but when it gets deleted, you already know how it feels
you prepare yourself to feel the same thing you did when it last happened
and because you are prepared now, you don't feel it
not really
@@sourwitch2340 yeah exactly, these videos _are_ the continuation. unus annus was ultimately about how things always have to come to an end. now we get to see the aftermath.

i miss unus annus :(
I just lost my sister in law this last month. Underlying health problems caught up with her, and it shocked my whole family, and we are still dealing with this new loss.
She and my brother are much older then me, and they got married when I was still just a kid. So she has always just been a big sister to me. And one of my best friends.
In 2020, my mother was diagnosed with Leukemia, and having lost her own mother when she was a teenager, my sister in law was a huge support for not just my brother but for myself and my little sister.
One of the things we did together was watch all of Mark's "-with Markiplier" works. We both cried at the end of In Space.
My family grows smaller and I'm faced with death and loss often. I Feared it so much as a child not just because ei was afraid to die but I was afraid of losing my the ones I love forever.
It is so painful.
But I've spent my life confronting my feelings on it. Exploring the fear and the sadness so I could understand and cope. It doesn't make it hurt less but it helps me grieve, to accept and to hold the people I have lost close to my heart.
One of the reasons I've loved watching Mark's content for close to a decade now is because he gets it.
Mark has given me and my family memories to hold on to and cherish. Like Unus Annus.
Gone from view. But cherished and loved now and as long as we hold the memory.
Not to be an asshole but this was tribute to an old RUclips channel that got deleted
@@Crowned_Jester I know. Sorry if the first few sentences of this comment felt out of the blue, but the idea behind Unus Anus reminding us of the limited time we have, It struck a cord in my heart with the raw emotions I was still feeling, am still feeling.

This totally didn't make me cry I feel so sorry for you 😢
Stay strong❤️
I pray for you and hope you have a happy life spent cherishing the moments you still have with the ones you have around you. As time passes I hope you continue to make lasting memories and honor the wishes of those who passed by living to the fullest. May god bless you and your family’s soul.

one of the biggest reasons mark is my favorite youtuber is his zest for life. he is a man who has been through a lot. very hard things. if you have followed him for a long time, you know that he had to go through a lot of grief. many people died. people important to him. despite that, he brings so much joy. whether in joy or sadness, he was always very sincere in his emotions and his desire to do good even when it hurt him. Whether it is when he cries with gratitude for his fans or when he cried to a tragic event, he has given many people a little strength to overcome hardships.
Mark, you helped us during difficult times. I sincerely hope that we have done the same so far and that we will continue as a fanbase. in any case, you helped me. We love you mark. I give my respect to everyone who made you the man you are. A man who has acquired the esteem of 36 million people through his value. I know that saying that all of the ones who fell has their eyes on you can be intimidating but rest assured, if that is the case, they are all proud of you. I send you strength from France in the name of all those who look at you there. we love you mark and strength to all those who after the release of this video took the time to remember their dead. And sorry if my English is bad. I hate to point out that I'm French on comments or stuff like that but in this particular case, I don't want to be misunderstood or appear disrespectful.
Unus Annus taught me so much about grief and how to better deal with death and overall have a better outlook on life. Unus Annus helped me so much to grow as a person and I am forever grateful for that.

I got a harsh reminder of the brevity of time when my mother passed earlier this year. Sudden heart attack, she was gone by the time paramedics arrived. The worst thing is, I had been purposely avoiding her, avoiding the preaching and "come back into the Faith" urging that I always had to hear around Easter, every year. I thought I'd wait until well after the Easter season. Well over a month of not calling her.
On Friday night I told myself, "I'll call her this weekend."
On Saturday, I got busy and forgot until it was really late in her time zone.
On Sunday morning, she collapsed and never got up again.
My first words to my husband after letting him know, in numbed shock, that my mother was dead were, "I didn't get to call her."
There's a sense of guilt that I fear might always be there.
Call a loved one today. Hear their voice. Tell them you love them.
You might not get another chance.
The clock ticks for us all.
The "I won't be late next year...promise." legit made me tear up IMMEDIATELY.

I love the way they still come back each year. I don't know how long they'll do it, but it's a nice reminder that us as a fandom are not alone in our missing it. It still brings me so much joy to this day. I give it some credit to helping save me at the time. I miss it a lot. memento mori

I truly hope they do it every year because I know although some will falter all the ones who truly cared will always come back and will always rejoice over this beautiful chapter of our life they may be gone but they will never be forgotten

At the beginning of Covid, I had made a very close friend online, his name was lux and we were always into the same shit. Among us, undertale, delta rune, etc. one thing that he loved so so much was unus anus. I remember the day it ended, I watched the stream with him and every unus anus shit I could with him. In October of last year he had gotten diagnosed with a special type of brain stem cancer usually affecting 14 and below (he was 19 at the time) and unfortunately on November 14 2023, he passed away. I know he misses you guys, but never as much as I’ll miss him.
ik so sorry rip 🙏
May he rest in peace. I'm sorry for your loss, man. I guess he's just spectating your run now, huh? :)
He's proud of how you're able to persevere, no matter the hardship. And so am I, man. I'm proud of ya. Keep it going. Memento Mori, Unus Annus.
@@Zutzuuu thank you homie. Kind words are few and far between. Memento mori, unus anus.
And THIS is why he deserves his movie. in 2 minutes, and with a locked off camera, he made us all feel. His acting, that gust of wind at the end, those quite nature sounds, keeping his face out of frame and using that deep focus so that only the flowers on the casket are properly in focus. This man is a creative powerhouse, and all of his projects get treated with importance.

yes it should...
I like men
I'm still in awe how well they've committed to this. Its really not like it never happened, it did just die. It was a crazy year and I'm glad to have been there the whole time.
i miss unus annus :(
It did truly die but yet we all know about it and can rejoice as a family who experienced this amazing chapter of RUclips it’s gone but it’s memory can never be erased
I find that so fascinating, how the channel managed to be like a social experiment by imitating death itself. Even the reuploads don’t recreate what that channel was, almost like watching video tapes of your past loved ones… knowing that you’ll never have a new moment with them again. All you have is a few snippets and your favorite memories from being with someone for 365 days. Jesus.
Unus Annus was the epitome of what RUclips was made for. People having fun, trying new things.
No fancy editing, no high budget - just a man and his friend doing a simple activity - and sharing their time with the world.
I think the reason I liked it so much was that it took us all back to a simpler time. Back before RUclips became so corporate, all about algorithms and statistics.. it was nice, it was cozy.
But that can’t last forever - and now we carry the memories. Memento Mori, Anus Annus
RUclips has been that way for at least 10-15 years bro
We will always remember the memories we shared. Unus Annus, memento morí.

the way that mark looked back at the coffin made me tear up a little, time flies so fast. death is upon us all, and unus annus taught me not to take time for granted.
In hindsight, I should've watched more of Unnus Annus before it passed away
3 years already.. it went by so fast, rest in peace
Who’s dead already pls ?

Three already?
@@mat_shadno one is dead but around three years ago Mark and Ethan had created a channel that they uploaded for one year exactly episodes every single day and by the time the one year anniversary head come up they would end the channel and since that year had come by they dated live stream for the death of said channel and it's been 3 years since that channel has been deleted I hope this helps you understand what this video is about
Hearing the countdown after all these years sent shivers down my spine ;w;
RIP Unus Annus. Just one year, but millions of people will still remember it for a long time.

@@LS_Dashyou really said “hmmm, how can I get mad at this comment and mock them”
In just 2 minutes and 12 seconds Mark was able to make everyone feel so many emotions.
Man, sometimes i forget just how good of an actor Mark is. He REALLY sounds like hes holding back tears here. I feel like its better than most hollywood acting nowadays
he’s a great actor, i’m sure a lot of this wasn’t acting tho…
Its entirely possible he was. Taking time to reflect not just on the past year and all he's accomplished but getting to remember the year he spent with his friend doing something new and stupid every single day would be enough to get most people a little misty in the eye and tight in the throat.
He probably was. It meant a lot to him.
You're reaching a little my gee
Plot twist Ethans body is inside, mark killed him and replaced him with AI
He is not truly gone,
he is still remembered…
respected…
Loved…
And admired.
As long as we keep him alive in our memories, he is not truly gone
for he is still watching all of us from the skies.
We love you Unus Annus, thank you for making Mark happy those times, and me and everyone else… :)
I know this is about Unus Annus, but my grandfather passed away recently. We attended his funeral just a while ago. I really needed this. I had one grave to visit each year, now two. I will never forget them, thank you, Mark.
I'm sorry for your losses...
My grandpa also passed away recently, I feel your pain
@@Mossymoss69 I'm sorry for your loss...
No? Not really

It actually hurts to watch this and think of the memories that are already 3 years ago and will only get farther away. But then I remember all of the joy and happiness that I got from watching every video until the very end. It will always be a marker for me now to see my own life as a gift and never to waste it. Thank you for all that you have done Mark, Ethan, Amy and the editors for creating something truly beautiful and special. Memento Mori friends....Unas Annus.
Merch and memories are the only thing we have left, god i miss it, i miss it so much. I think of it every day. I hate that we're only moving further and further away.

@@AverageWarCrimeEnjoyer If you watch them then you missed the entire point of that project.
I cannot explain why these reoccuring visits to the Unus Annus grave bring me to tears, but they do. Every time.

Someone said on Ethan's video "year one grief, year 2 acceptance, year 3 guilt for forgetting."
Anotjer person said "Imagine if the different perspectives is like the other one is dead in another timeline" so like for Mark's video Ethan is dead and Ethan's Mark is dead thats why they are never there together, its because they are together just ones alive ane the other isn't.
That’s weird. Maybe start a family and have more important things in your life than a RUclips channel.
@@asherstribe5695 You wouldn't understand unless you lived it.
I think it's becuase of the profound impact it had on so many of us. It's complex, like visiting a grave of a lost loved one. You re-live all of the memories, their legacy, their history. Everything hits you in a split-second.
I recently learned that I started watching Mark's videos about a week after Unus Annus was taking down and am really really sad that I missed it by so little. Mark you never cease to produce incredible content and please keep up the good work!
I missed it too:(

May she rest in peace.
I hope you're okay.
I genuinely hope Mark gets a role or two in some big movies, his acting is phenomenal
You think this is acting? Well, it might be, but it comes from a real place.
@@ChargeQMall great acting comes from a real place because emotions are relatable…. That’s like, arguably what acting is all about
@@maddieb.4282Yeah dude, you have to put yourself in the characters shoes in order to act as them and feel everything they are feeling.
i would have been so happy if he was in the fnaf movie as he is the king after all
his acting is honestly kinda mediocre
he is my favorite youtuber but not a great actor
Edit: Thank y'all so much for the condolences. February of this year, he was put on hospice so we could go home and focus on each other. We crossed off so many bucket list places, and when the doctors only gave him weeks to live, we managed to have 7 months together. So I know we made the right decision going home. Him and Eef share the exact same birthday down to the year, so it made Unus Annus that much more special to us.
This hit way harder than it was supposed to. I introduced my husband to Markiplier back in 2015, and we watched Unus Annus together all the way to the end. He passed almost 3 months ago after fighting the last 3 years with brain cancer. I haven't been able to watch Mark the last few months because it was too painful, and when I did, this was the first video that popped up. Mark, you made us both laugh until tears rolled down our faces. Thank you for giving us something to bond over.
may he rest in peace, i hope you're at peace and that you're healing. i bet he's so proud of you
I'm so sorry for your loss! I hope you're healing and trying to live every day to the fullest...
I am so sorry for your loss
May you find peace and love in a world of healing 🙏.
Sorry for your loss gorgeous, the world works in mysterious ways, it’s almost like a sign that this was the video you came back to. I wish you all the best ❤️
i love the cinematography in this. it’s so simple but so effective. you don’t see a shot of marks face, so it makes you really focus on the words he’s saying and how he says them. you focus on the passage of time with the wilted roses from the year prior. i just love how much goes into this memory of their amazing project
This truly a display of grieving our past selves - grieving all the opportunities we missed, or the broken relationships, or even grieving the good times we have to leave behind. There's so much time in a day, and yet none at all, and seldom if ever do we take a good long while to look inwards and backwards.
Personally, I made a lot of bad choices this year, choices that I won't be repeating. But I'm going in what, I hope, is the right direction. I hope all of you are, too.
There’s no reason a 2 minute video should have me sobbing, yet here we are 😢

Why and how does this make me feel so much emotion. I really truly feel grief over this channel. This time in all our lives. Lets always remember it together. ❤
Mark, Ethan. Unus Annus meant so much to so many of us. Two weeks before the end of Unus Annus, my dad died unexpectedly. I tuned in for the entire live stream, and cried for most of it. Saying goodbye to Unus Annus, visiting all those memories, grieving. It was what I needed to heal. Every year when you revisit The End, I am taken back to that night where we said goodbye to Unus Annus, and I said goodbye to my father. I cry not because it is over, but because it happened. And I have all those wonderful memories of that year. I cry today because, like my father, there will never be anything like this again. But I am so happy I was a part of it. Thank you, Mark. Thank you, Ethan. You brought me joy, laughter, tears, and provided healing I desperately needed in the worst time of my life. Until next year. Memento Mori. Memento Vivere. Unus Annus.
EDIT: For those saying this is fake, or accusing me of "abandoning my family" or my father, get bent. I am sorry you were offended by me finding healing in a time of grief. Everyone else, thank you.
Rest in peace, brother
im sorry 😞❤️🩹

The clock ticking gave me chills. The year unus annus was around was a very special one. Not just because of the videos, but because it was a significant time in my life. Remembering unus annus brings back good memories in a special way that nothing else really can, and I'm very thankful for the experience and all of the effort that was put into it.
Couldn't have said it better myself. Memento Mori. Unus Annus. 🖤🤍
Wouldn't the ticking stop once the clock stopped? Is this a hint at something bigger happening. One of either unus or annus getting upset he was late maybe
@@Starlight-ms3jx maybe the time has stopped ticking for them, but not yet for us, but idk
@Starlight-ms3jx I think it's just another nod to the channel. Or maybe the countdown to its next anniversary. The whole idea was to kill the channel so I doubt they'll do anything but pay respects annually.
I'll never forget how happy Unus Annus made me. It truly made me feel apart of something, and it was truly beautiful. I will never be able to express how thankful I am for you, Ethan, and everyone who helped out with Unus Annus. Memento Mori.
Memento Mori
It was indeed a beautiful thing to be part of. Memento Mori. :)
Also, um…I'm really sorry, but this is a pet peeve of mine that has been getting worse every year… "apart" and "a part" mean THE OPPOSITE THINGS OF EACH OTHER, you can't use them interchangeably!!!! I'm sorry, but I've even been seeing like official things using "apart" to mean "a part" and they mean literally the opposite thing. You were not "apart" of Unus Annus, you were "a part" of Unus Annus, being "apart" of Unus Annus means you were NOT part of Unus Annus. I'm sorry, I really am, but this was the moment I snapped.
Unus Annus means so much to me. I have a tattoo of the logo, and I don’t get tattoos often or for fun. The channel helped me cope with so much and had such a deep underlying meaning while being so lighthearted and fun, I miss it every day. Memento Mori, Unus Annus. Happy late anniversary. 🤍
Its amazing how crazy and chaotic that year was. Hard to believe its been so long. Every now and then I'll still have fond memories of Unus Annus, and how it fit in to everything that was going on for me at the time. What a journey, there will never be anything like it again. Memento Mori.
I still think Unus Annus was the best youtube content ever created. I've been watching a variety of creators for more than 10 years, but never found anything as good as Unus Annus. Thank you for making it
Can't believe its been 3 years. The memorial is a cinematic masterpiece. It's so interesting how overtime people forget the grief, and this video reflects that. Thank you for all the memories
ITS BEEN 3 YEARS…. Time is a terrifying concept it feels sooner then that
THREE? it feels like it’s only been a year
Three years since what
Love you mark… long live Unus Annus
its long dead

"I PROMISE I WON'T BE LATE NEXT YEAR" MADE ME SOB. Unus Annus was such an important thing for so many.
this hits home for people with loved ones who passed away a while ago, which I guess is what this cinematic was meant to show
It really was. Especially with the pandemic happening in the middle of it. Unas Annus brought so much joy during lockdown and it was something that could be consistently looked forward to which was awesome. I miss it so much.
People... keep.. saying the same things over and over again. Pigeon brain! Pigeon brain! Cuckoo! Cuckoo!
Who?
man i was about to get emotional until i read ur name 😭
This year my fiancé and I got Unus Annus tattoos, it meant so much to us. It kept us sane during covid, and the tattoo is a symbol that we should enjoy the time we all have while we can ❤
Unus Annus gave me something to look forward to every day ❤
I lost my mom to covid November 30th of 2020 and it's almost been three years and this actually helped me temporarily break a barrier to start processing the grief of losing my perfectly healthy mom in such a short time at such a young age. I haven't been able to. This helped. Just like when I was a kid, Mark helps when I don't know I need it
praying for you bro

Sending love and peace to you and your family 🫂
I'm so sorry for your loss.
My sincere condolences. 🙏 🫂
I did NOT expect to be getting the feels this year in this way...I didn't feel like this last year. Something about the way this video was so....genuine. Raw. Like he was actually talking to a family member/someone he cared about who had passed, that he genuinely felt _bad_ for missing the anniversary. It was very lovely, and very real.
I remember Unus Annus. Even though it’s gone, the memories are still in my mind. That’s the beauty of the channel.
I believe Unus Annus will forever be the most profound thing Mark, Ethan, and Amy will ever make
Definitely! I'm also glad that so many other people were involved as well, their friends but also just everyone who was there when they went different places to try new things
Aw, Mark remembered!!! This had no right being so good... I think this is the fastest I've ever cried. It's a good reminder to us fans that we can't control the passage of time, but if we work hard, we can make every day special.
I was no fortunate enough to catch Unus Annus. I literally missed it by 2 days after. That being said, the impact it has on the community and the clips I've seen so far just shows me how much Mark and Ethan are loved and I enjoy celebrating this with everyone because of that
Last year, my Nana passed away after her 3rd battle with cancer, which spread into her brain in her final months.
I often think back to the phone calls with my Grandpa, where he'd talk to her intermittently, tentatively trying to remind her where she was, and who he was, and who he was on the phone with before she'd drift off to sleep again from the intense medication, and the trickling pain of my Grandpa's voice then-after before the call would end. I remember the last time I saw her after writing a final letter to her, which took my Grandpa a week before he could read it to her without bawling, and her responding to me as she responded to him, in one of the few moments she seemed like herself, saying "It was beautiful," before offering a solemn smile. I miss her so much.
Beforehand, she was a retired journalist who had decided to give fantasy, young-adult writing a kick. I was 8 at the time she released her first novel in 2014. She handed my adamant hands a hard-copy, and it wouldn't leave until the novel was finished. I was fascinated by the way she curated these characters, the setting, the villain, the mannerisms, The Grill, the emotion, the opening, and the end. I bewilderingly shared my excitement at show-and-tell, and oral language memorization where I asked the teacher whether I could say the word "stripper" because I heard mommy say it was bad once. The fueling creativity of this little world that bursted into whst would become my inspiration to be a filmmaker, where my focus strives today. The novel was Blackthorne Forest. She wrote 4 books before having a stroke, and wouldn't write her 5th and final until three years after, with my immense persistence and optimism, which concluded with the book being dedicated to me. I never read it, and that kills me.
She had charisma, a memorable wink, and the greatest grilled cheese one could have. She was kind, considerate, stern, yet brazen with admiration of all the lovely people in the world. She was a lover, and I loved her. I still love her...
And yet, I forget.
I visited her grave once in the last 8 months, mostly for what felt like obligation, but maybe moreso for acceptance. The grass had finally grown over her burial site, and the little tree structured to it's left side had drooped the majority of its colored leaves. I was with a friend, and we sat, laughing and enjoying conversation, talking in gratitude of how lovely her grave looked, and her wonderful personality. It was celebratory, a feeling I hadn't truly grasped in loss before, let alone one so discouraging. I left smiling, without tears. Ironically, my friend, while driving almost got hit by a car directly after due to not thoroughly looking both ways. It's a silly memory now.
Since then, her legacy seems stagnant, and often in the craze of my Senior Year of high school, beckoned by the stresses and necessities begged of me from societal pressure, I forget the true value of this life I'm living.
But then, I look at the picture of her and I at her first and only book signing at a local winery when I was 9, or maybe 10. I see her books in the plastic bag I keep all my most meaningful material gifts or memorabilia from friends and events, or most effectively;
I see the two decaying roses next to her funeral note, both of which my family had taken from her open-casket two weeks after she passed. I remember when they were fruitful, colored, and freshly bloomed, contrasted with the indescribable stillness of my Nana's corpse. I'd never seen a dead body before. I'd never been so still myself when I did.
Nonetheless, the rose was a reminder of the blessing of life after death for her, and the optimism of what's to come in ours as they continue. But alas, as it droops, along with the thoughts of her, it seems as if life's become too far disconnected, and that the rose, that she, is left for the past to mourn over; that I'd abhorently moved on, like the gutless b**ch I must be.
Then, there's Unus Annus. Then, there's this video. My Nana died on November 7th. Unus Annus died November 14th. The correlation of annual remembrance holds uncanny perplexity.
I saw this video, the 3rd year, and initially drifted by it, simmering momentarily in it before blatantly forgetting it again. But tonight, I came back. I don't know why, but I came back, and while partly the algorithm's recommendation, fate, or urging, I knew there was a reason to see it again.
I wasn't sure, until finally Mark says, "I won't be late next year, I promise," and low and behold, he puts a rose down, next to the decaying ones, and music crescendos as he once more motheringly mutters, "Promise..."
I cried. I stare at the roses. On the screen, then back at the ones stood laying across from me. How is it I could've forgotten? How is it that I "so easily forgot?" I'm torn. I'm shredded, and I f**king miss her!!
I miss Unus Annus, and I miss my Nana. I miss all they did for me. I mourn. I grieve. I conceive that familiar dread once more.
But why..? What good does it do? I've been joyous, so why is it I cry again? Why is it I designate myself to mourning again. They're gone. They've been gone. They're not coming back, so why return to dwelling when I hadn't these past months, let alone the times when I was. It won't change what's happened. Stay joyful, and remember its value. Don't cry because it's over, cry because it happened... I'll admit, I couldn't resist, but I hope you do truly, genuinely understand what I'm expressing in some capacity.
Death is not an end, and while often its impact diminishes, the memory truly never fades. It's a joy to know her pain has drifted. It's a joy to know Unus Annus dramatically shifted my comedy and outlook on life, just as her books had, and it lives on in joyous animosity for those who were blessed to experience it, and so has she. Death signifies a killing, yet ironically brings forth an impact, that's larger than life. Death births hope, or at least, it can, and that's what grieving becomes, a journey to hope. A darkness, flurishing to life. A seed turning to a flower. A stem, producing a flurished rose.
Every year is a journey, and one that wndures itself with reflection of what came prior. It's beautiful, yet must maintain persistence, for as Unus Annus so thoroughly reminds us; the clock is always ticking, and everything must inevitably come to an end, and that's truly, truly beautiful.
Thank you to Mark, Ethan, Amy, the Editors, the Guests (looking at you Alex Tima), and all the urine. You made something wonderful, and you allow me to joyously grieve, and many others the same. I loved watching that whole year, and it completely transformed one of the worst years of my life when I was 13. You guys brought, and still bring so much joy, and I'm forever grateful. God bless you guys.
Momento Mori, Unus Annus. 💙🖤
I seriously hope that they do this every year for as long as possible. It's so bittersweet and makes me feel all the emotions.
Truly and honestly, I think Unus Annus was the best thing to ever come out of RUclips. What an absolutely beautiful adventure of a channel, I loved every damn minute of it, and I miss it everyday.
I never watched it but I’ve seen so many clips and even through those it’s made a lasting impression. I have a small tattoo planned from the one episode I actually watched . ❤

R.I.P Unus Annus
I'm so sad about never having heard of it until it got deleted :(
Genuinely Unus Annus helped me get through one of the hardest years of my life, and I’ve never been more attached to a RUclips channel. Momento Mori.
Same though. It was so perfect back then and it felt peaceful to let it go in the end.
Same. It really helped me accept death and the feeling that come after.
yep same here
same it actually got me out of bed in the morning
Memento* Mori
Unnus annnus was the worst and best year of my life. There was breakup, i got depressed, sh, ed, insomnia, then i got used, alcoholism but I survived, I grew, i learned to live for myself, and then I found the love of my life. So thank you for being there giving me something to look forward to after I thought i had lost all meaning. The timing was perfect. Never forget💕
The channel legit saved me in my darkest hour and reminded me to live again. I can't thank you and Ethan and Amy and everyone that was involved enough for that.
Good to know you had something I Missed it so fuck me also now mark barley posts anything and is always rubbing it in everyone’s face that they didn’t see it with constant references and videos like this
@@casey7655jeez, the person was just saying how it helped them get through a rough time. I'm sorry you missed it but you don't have to be bitter like that, plus mark hasn't referenced it in a while and the less upload are because of a bigger project mentioned in the video, other videos, and q lot of distractible episodes. If anything the movie and space are referenced constantly not unus annus
@@randomweeb9179 listen to distactable he references all the time
@@casey7655 How can you think like that? Do you lack all sense of empathy? It's like when a person dies. You are not "rubbing it" in someone's face that they didn't know that person when you mention them. You say: "Sorry for your loss." Look man, I missed it too, but have some respect for it.
Lost my dog of 15 years yesterday. These videos couldn't have been more apt. Reminds me to remember the good times I had with my pup, and to cherish every second we had. Memento mori.
Hey, I lost my dog yesterday as well. I'm so sorry for your loss. Memento Mori
So sorry for your loss :[
im so sorry. im struggling with the loss of my dog. she would have been 10 in august but we lost her the month before.
I’m sorry to hear that. Memento Mori
Lost the family dog a week ago. I was waiting for this honestly. I needed this too…
I still remember the emptiness I felt when it ended. I miss it so much, but I’m glad I got to experience it. Memento mori everyone
"Don't cry because it's over, cry because it happened."
But yes, same. Memento Mori.
I was so busy with my first quarter in uni I was also late, crazy how things happen and you forget. I didn't realize it passed until the 20th and didn't mind checking the channel for the video. I'm glad I did, made the same promise as Mark, won't be late next year to remember the channel.
Mark is such an incredible creator in every way, i miss Unus Annus but am always looking forward to every new project after the other.
Watching these memorials means so much to me. I was in a really dark place when Unus Annus first came out. Their content helped me so much and pulled me out of that place. I'm reminded how far I've come since then and I'm beyond proud of myself.
Thank you Unus Annus for everything.
Hope you’re doing good and staying safe. If you need to talk to someone or need help, there are people who care, one of them me. Sending support and hearts. ❤❤❤
I love the little pocket of us that gather to these videos every year because Unus Annus meant so much to us. It’s a very special message and I’m sure we all find ourselves wasting our time one way or another. But deep in our hearts, we will always remember and we will always cherish. Momento Mori
Easily one of the best RUclips social experiment to date
It's only 2 minutes long, yet I still got a bit emotional...
I think it's a testament to how special it all was. 2020 came with a lot of darkness, but those daily uploads were shots of light that helped us navigate it all. I think I speak for all of us who were there when I say that we will never forget
I am so thankful I got to see Unus Annus and experience it. It really helped get me through the worst year of my life (my mom passed, covid, struggling through my senior year of ungergrad, etc etc). Thank you guys for everything, I know coming up with video ideas and posting every single day was hard. But you helped so many of us, and we will always be grateful to you and to them. RIP Unus Annus.
I'm sorry for your loss

I didn't know you enjoyed Markiplier as well, and I'm sorry about your loss. I lost my mother just before the pandemic as well and found comfort in Unus Annus.
PS. Bring back chibi meerah plz
