That’s the thing. Almost all of us just bought Matpat’s theory: the clock would just stop. He didn’t realize that all the evidence given was just a red herring, to have us convince ourselves that the clock would stop, and the best channel (to a lot of us) would stay in some predictable twist. We never expected them to follow up on the promise of deleting the channel, especially after it got so big. They followed up. We should’ve listened.
I found Ethan’s right after I saw Mark’s, crying again lol. The love that I have for this community is indescribable. I’m so grateful that we all get to experience this together. Momento Mori.
@@billyloper4072 I think they mean like how Ethan had sort hair and mark had long hair one wore black the other wore white not that mark cares less does that make sense?
The way Ethan and marks hairstyles have effectively switched is sort of poetic. By the end of their journeys, Unus became a little more like Annus, and Annus became a bit more like Unus. Each of them impacted the other in that year in a way none of us will be able to fully appreciate.
@@annaquattlebaum3415 same, when it ended I found a discord server that has a folder of the videos and as soon as I watched one I felt worse than when it ended so I haven’t opened the folder for at least ten months and I don’t want to delete it because it’s all that I have left of unus annus because I never got any of the merch
I've been trying to remember what episode that's from, the line itself stuck with me to this point but I can't for the life of me remember which episode it came from
I kinda wish they made one for Amy since she was there nearly just as long as they were. I know Mark and Ethan were the duo of the channel but having Amy do one would have been pretty cool
@@TheAngelofFate17 Amy wore both black and white in the final live stream, I like to think that she’s the coffin that holds both Unus and Annus together
@@windy4204 that’s actually a beautiful way of putting it. amy was 100% the coffin that brought unus and annus together as mark said amy came up with most ideas for the channel, she was the biggest part of it all :’)
I said it on Mark's and I'll say it here, I find it comforting to know that they miss Unus Annus the same way we do, as something that we all grieve over and cherish like a person.
And the roses that they put down are the colors they themselves wore, Ethan putting down black and Mark putting down white. It's those small details that make them special (and for some, tearjerking).
Yes, mark had light pants and a dark top while Ethan had both colors but reversed also . It's kind of symbolic in a way...... Like they both absorbed and took the best parts of unus annus with them to remember and channel the energy of
Can we just take a moment to admire the fact that Mark wore black to honor Ethan And Ethan wore White to honor Mark not only that but they also brought a rose representing their own colors.
The craziest part is thinking that, somewhere in Mark or Ethan's house, there's a weird black and white coffin just getting dustier. Must be awkward when they have visits.
It’s interesting because in the “we did it” videos the day after the death, Ethan was more visibly emotional than Mark. Now Mark was more visibly emotional than Ethan. I saw a comment about the hairstyles switching. I noticed the colors (loosely) switch because mark was in gray and Ethan was in beige.
They also had opposite black and white clothing and roses. (Mark had black shoes and short, but white pants, while Ethan had white shoes and shirt, but black pants)
@@abbyensslen4050 Yeah you can see how it's hitting Mark a lot more now compared to Ethan where he kinda accepted it fast. Oddly and perfectly it does kinda reflect to how people handle death in general. Some hold it in for a long time while others accept that it's gone immediately. Unus Annus was way more than just making videos. The message it portrayed and how it's impacted people is nothing short of art. Like a well crafted piece of music that'll last for decades.
That clock. That tone. It's been a long, LONG time since I've seen Ethan this serious. I had set a reminder to repeat every year at the end of the stream and I plan to remember along with everyone. Every year. For the Unuses, as weird as we may be, and for the Annuses, Strong and courageous to a fault. For the crew behind it, Amy and the others, and for the good times. And the bad times. Memento Mori, Unus Annus.
I like to think the coffin is full of hard drives holding all the Unus Annus videos. I don't know why, I just think it would be poetic to have the channel's content literally closed into the coffin.
"Cooking with sex toys" will always hold a special place to me as the starting line to a insane journey. We all miss Unus Annus but we will never forget it.
I am not going to lie, Ethan grew so much from Unus Annus. I actually got chills from the intro, and it provided such good cinematography. Unus Annus was something that I can't forget, but I never wanted to anyway. I hope you grow more successful, but never forget what got you here, you. You got you here.
Im sad now 😭 cause unus and Annus are gone they're never coming back. Maybe next year I'll see those two come back. Because I hate how it ended LIKE that I'm very sad 🥺 unus and Annus come back please. I'm SAD. Unus Annus.
Me too friend. Idk if I'd still be here without them. Gave me something to get better for and wait for. There will never be anything as special as Unus Annus 🤍🖤
Still does honestly... I've got two shirts... Everytime I see one of em or see someone else wearing merch a flood of great memories... Truly amazing what they did
Having watched Mark's one first, I just noticed how Mark was wearing black, had a white rose and had a casket surrounded by black flowers. Ethan was wearing white, had a black rose and a casket surrounded by white flowers. The amount of detail in these videos even now is beautiful
I remember..2020, the pandemic was harsh on the whole world and we were in quarantine but Unnus Annus made it seem not so dark and scary. It was a year that was filled with laughter even though the world was falling apart Unnus Annus made it okay..So thank you boys, I'm proud of both of you
2019/2020 was definitely both the best and the worst year for Unus Annus to have been made. It helped a lot of people including myself during the difficult time of early quarantine, and it also drove home one of the points of the channel: we have to make do with the time we have. I'm so grateful to the team for continuing forward with the project and not missing a single day. (It was also the worst year because of all the ideas Mark and Ethan had that they weren't able to do, but, while disappointing, that feels even negligible.)
Pretty cool thinking that, although we did not get to see them together on screen again this time, Mark and Ethan probably got together again to film their scenes
Hearing "see you next year" instead of "see you tomorrow" just made it feel so much more real. I mean, I've spent a lot of this year coming to terms with the fact that it's gone and I got to a point where I had accepted that. But hearing him say that just made all of those feelings hit me again. Unus Annus was an amazing, unforgettable experience and I'm glad I was here for it, even if it was just for the last few months
I didn't pay much attention to the first few months but I quickly got swept up towards the middle. I know the videos still get floated around but it'll never be the same
I didn't had much luck myself , i discovered unus annus 5 days before the end , but boy, i watched everything and I'm so sad not having be able to know it before
Even if it was one video you saw you still got in on the experience and that’s something sooo special that people in the future or people who overlooked it won’t get to say.
@@sweetwater6319 pretty much, I cant completely explain it to you that would go against the law but wat you need to know is that it happened, the people that were there for it were affected greatly and it will be missed. memento mori 🤍🖤
"The difference is that this time I'm alone." 😭 That hit me really hard honestly. It's soo different going through something alone than it is doing it with someone else.
It's insane how visceral both Mark and Ethan's reactions feel just discussing this, goes to show just how impactful this has been for not just us the viewers but them. Memento Mori.
I love how it's a dialogue between Mark and ethan both videos seem like a conversations Ethan: "I'm doing good and I miss you" Mark:"I miss you too but I'm doing good I really miss those two, hearing the ticking of that clock brings a tear my face 😔 Memento mori🖤
I like to imagine, in both Mark and Ethan’s videos, that they are talking to each other in the coffin. Mark is talking to Ethan, and Ethan is talking to Mark. They are telling each other how Unus Annus impacted each other. It gives a bittersweet feeling, having this final close.
I think it would have been a nice touch if one of the videos was mirrored, so that say Mark was facing right and Ethan was facing left to give the implication that they really WERE having a conversation with each other.
Mark: "I miss it... the coolest thing that affected others..." Ethan: "I am a changed man... how did we do it? I will never do anything as cool as that.. I am so alone now" Man... somehow this is very powerful. Thank you Ethan for making it.
I had a stroke at the start of the year, and was certain I was out of time. I am 24 years old. It is amazing how quickly you can run out of time. Spend it wisely. Momento Mori, my brothers
I'm sorry that you've been jaded so badly by big money corporations that you can't see the sincerity in content creators that genuinely care about the things they make.
i'm about ready to cry. I became part of the fandom towards the end, and didn't even get to fully experience the channel. It hurts so much knowing that there was so much I missed, yet so much I got to see. Momento Mori.
✝️ *LORD JESUS DIED & ROSE AGAIN TO PAY THE DEBT OF UR SIN!* ✅By Faith in the sacrifice God has made are we saved from the penalty of sin! 🔵Turn from your sin that leads to death & accept His Gift that leads to eternal Life! 💜We are all sinners that need God. No one can say they are perfect to be able to pay their debt of sin. This is why only God could pay the penalty for us, that is merciful Love!
Yeah, they did that as well from the beginning of Unus Annus to the end. Right now they almost have the same hairstyle they had when they started, except Ethan has slightly more hair than then.
What made it better is that the colors were also switched (Mark was wearing black while Ethan was wearing white but during UA Ethan wore black and Mark wore white)
@@Ac3_th3_B33 I actually noticed that for a while and thought it was my head since I was staring a bit too long to see what was there but thanks for making me not seem like I was hallucinating lmao
Unus Annus was absolutely the most powerful piece of content I've ever watched, due to the timing of it coming out for me, and the underlying meanings about loss and coping with it. Thank you Ethan, for being part of something that inadvertently kept me here in a really dark time for me personally. I'll always have a place in my heart for you, and Mark. Love you guys ❤
[3:12] “if i’m honest, it doesn’t really feel like it even happened at all in a way.” i felt that so deeply. i don’t have clear memories of each video and each moment, but i have clear memory of the emotions unus annus made me feel. i cant relive unus annus, but damn are those feelings still alive and well in my memory.
I relate to this so much. I don't remember every video clearly, but I do remember how it helped me get through tough times in my life,and how the whole thing made me feel.
Same here. It really got my husband and I through quarantine. It’s something we got to look forward to every single day, and the feelings of that season are vivid
What I heard: visiting Unus Annus and talking about what he's accomplished in the year after. What I felt: Me talking to both my Grandma's that I lost this year within a few months of each other. Thanks for being here the year before Unus Annus. You gave me the strength to face what happened next, even if it still hurt like hell.
I used to think "It's gone, nothing will ever feel the same" Now a whole year has passed without it, and it's an acceptance that back then I never thought I'd accept. Memento Mori, Unus Annus
I know exactly how you feel. After it was gone, I felt like I was missing a part of my day every day. Now I still miss it, but I'm happy I got to experience it and i can also accept that it's gone.
Hopefully another year will pass, and we can celebrate the death day of what was the most innovative and entertaining project that our generation was around to witness.
Man this hurts so much. It was crazy how during Unus Annus we all were stuck at home for a period of time. These videos brought so much joy and will hold a special place... I wish it would come back but let's keep the memory alive
I feel the same way, my heart is breaking all over again. The amount of enjoyment and laughter I got out of that year was incredible. I get sentimental every time I think about it.
When Unus Annus was ending, I was kinda real sick at the time, couldn't sleep at all, or breath right... (Dunno about Coivd, never got tested, but what it was, was pretty bad) So I remember it all vividly, this was great moral help in time of need, Unus Annus, memento mori. Really miss it, it was great times. :'(
it makes me genuinely so happy that they haven't forgotten, and i haven't forgotten i can't believe its been a year already this brought back so many memories and im getting emotional watching both videos thank you, ethan and mark for making me happy.
I watched Mark’s first, and I liked how it was deliberate and final. It’s over but it’s remembered and loved. And I like how Ethan’s has the build up and excitement of what’s to come next. They are an incredible pair. No one could’ve done Unus Annus better than them.
That part when Ethan says "I'm doing stuff now, but the difference is this time, I'm Alone" Cut extremely deep, and I think is one of the things that hurts the most when I look back on it. It truly felt like in that time I got to know these two goofballs more than I ever did or will in their videos. There was just something special about them being there every day with a new adventure interacting with eachother, for eachother, instead of just a camera. Whenever I see fanart or screenshots on my feeds from time to time, it just hits like a truck how much I really miss how wholesome it all was. And in the moment Ethan says that, it's never felt more true that I dont think there will be anything that felt quite like it. I feel like if anyone tries, all it will do is bring me back to the memories of Unus Annus and make them all the more painful. Nothing will be able to replicate it, to me.
Beautifully put and beautifully true for me too… I didn’t know if I would shed a tear for this but here we are. I do want to tell Ethan that he will be part of better things and this is not his final symphony but for right now, I can see how Unus Annus would defiantly take the cake for him as it has done for me and so many others. I miss it so much… Memento Mori friend. 🤍🖤
you just can tell how much they loved each other and spending time doing what they both loved. It hurts to see them mourning, but its what was intended to happen in the end. I just hope that the pain of it all isn’t why they don’t make collab videos at the moment. It’s understandable. I hope they’re both doing well, as well as Amy. It’s gotta be hard to leave something so large behind you
The fact that even their clothes correspond with each other, so much thought was put into this. Here, Ethan wears white shirt, black pants, while mark wore white (more like grey) pants and black shirt. Their roses are black and white, it all fits in perfectly.
Also that you hear ticking in the beginning of his video and you don't hear it at the end. and in Marks video you don't hear the ticking until the end of his.
Anyone notice that they switched hair styles a year later? Ethan was the one with short hair last year and Mark had long fluffy hair. Now Ethan is the one with the long and fluffy hair and Marks has it short
I'm sad I wasn't able to watch this all the way through. My partner and I would watch it every night together after dinner, but life happened and we missed a lot... The show was so good. Thank you
Same, but then again it gives me a certain sense of mystery when I think of what I may have missed. We all miss things in life, but cherish what little we get in the time we are given. Memento Mori
Seeing the coffin in such great condition is both amazing and sad, because it signifies Unus Annus in a way where the memory is still fresh for everyone. But it's so empty... We will never lose that feeling of Unus Annus.
The fact that we're all going "Oh wow, it's really been a year already?" speaks volumes on what Unus Annus really was. Even those of us who vowed not to forget, to go against the concept and forcefully remember, still forgot about it to some extent. We forgot the anniversary was even coming, we went back to our lives. And yet when reminded of its existence, we all feel that rush of nostalgia - the memories of the final stream, the best bits of our favourite videos, the wild goose chase for lore that was never really there, the fanart, the guests, all of it. The memories are there, but for how long? I wonder how much of that information will still be available in our brains for recall when the 2nd anniversary of the death of Unus Annus finally rolls around...
The thing is, remembering it doesn't go against the concept. Remembering WAS the concept of it all: That, though everything eventually ends in life, the legacy of something is what lives on, and how it survives fading completely into obscurity.
It's quite a beautifully tragic thing isn't it? The bittersweet fragility of something so simple, yet something that can never be described with words. It's something special, something not all of us can experience or understand, but it's always there. Whenever you make a memory, whenever you may listen to a song you enjoy, whenever you might do the littlest things like get up in the morning and make toast (or whatever you prefer,) for breakfast. Sometimes it's those sweet fleeting moments that we often deem as forgettable. (But some things are easier to forget than others.) I'm someone whose not ever prone to remember things. I can get carried away easily, I can get lost in my own house, and I can even forget why I walk into my kitchen, but there are just some things I cannot simply 'forget' or 'ignore'. I am guilty of never sticking around for too long, and I am guilty for not staying until the end. I am guilty for not being there when I needed to be. Even if Unus Anus might be something more than a memory, something close to a dream, akin to something magical and lively-yet as clear and bold until it fades away like the rest of us-It's special because we know it to be. We were all here, and regardless of whether or not we'll be here then doesn't seem to worry me one bit. As much as I miss this wondrous venture, I'll miss not knowing what it was. (Like when you binge a series and you enjoyed it so much that you'd do anything to go back and rewatch it over again, from a time that would allow you to enjoy the show to its fullest.) I miss Unus Anus. But this time, I wouldn't want to go back to when it first started, became if this taught me anything; nothing ever lasts. We need to let go. It may hurt, it may seem like we're just setting aside these precious days, months, years of ours', but we're not. I'd like to think that we're simply honoring it instead. (Maybe Unus and Anus would be proud of us. Who knows? They're gone aren't they?) But they're with you and I. Their memory, the ones we made and forged, will still continue to live on. Even if the world is fated to crumble to dust, or our legacies to be lost in the midst of time-that will stop for no one-as long as someone is willing to dream, to believe, it will continue to make it's own memoirs. They have never left us, and never will. Despite the fact that it is in our nature to lose everything so easily, I think that's what makes all of this so amazing. (Could I go so far to say desperate?) In maybe a month, or another year or so, I'll reminisce about two grown men being dorks and weird things that have meaningful life lessons etched into the fine print, and I'll smile. (Because we can never truly forget the impact of words or actions.) As long as time will go on, so shall we. All we have, is the hope of holding on to those memories. The memories everyone has given us, and that my friends, is remarkably captivating in its own right. Or, in summary, I think it's those missing pieces that make it so memorable even if we were to forget. Oh my Eef, I did not mean to write this much but my point still stands. Awesome comment by the way, 10/10. (Shoot, lots of typos and grammatical errors.)
If you think of childhood memories even one you remember greatly it's blurred, your brain forgets the detail even if you try to keep it in. Then there is the fact that we sometimes bend memories within our heads like editing a video this leads to stuff like the Mandela effect. Memories will last till they don't, will just hold them for as long as we can.
5:10 This hit home with me because I watched Unus Annus with my ex everyday and now I'm alone. The worst part is now I'm doing so good for myself in that I'm learning two new languages, I went back to school and I can see my future career unfolding, yet I'm the lonliest I've ever been. All these great things don't mean anything without someone to share it with.
I've never been heavily emotional, but I've never been so close to crying because of a youtube channel. Unus Annus was the single most important TH-cam channel to me and will continue to be for the rest of my life.
I love how impactful this was, to the point that it still hits hard a year later after all we were left with, was memories. Also love that Mark and Ethan have switched hairstyles between then.
I love that each of them were wearing the other's colour with their own, and the roses matched their usual UA colour. How Ethan was silent at first and then heartfelt. And Mark trying to joke through the pain right off the bat before breaking down. Both so torn over the past of their success, but trying to appreciate what they've accomplished since then. I love these two sm
I was excited and in awe by the cinematography and music, until I heard the clock. THAT hurt my heart way more than expected, and yet it also brought a smile of nostalgia to my face, like hearing the song your grandmother always used to hum. Gone but never forgotten, and we are all stronger for living, laughing, and enduring the pain of loss.
me watching Mark's video: "what a cool concept and way to honor the channel, very sweet :)" me watching Ethan's video: *bawling my eyes out from the emotion Ethan's speech is causing me to feel*
Not going to lie. Mark's video had me smiling remembering all the fun watching Unus Anus was. Ethan's video made me cry like my favorite pet just died. Memento Mori
you two are unbelievably incredible. the fact that mark’s video is 4:56 long and ethan’s is 9:15, so if you add both, it makes 14:11. 14/11. the attention to even the smallest details. i truly don’t believe anyone else could have done Unus Annus. i admire you both so much, thank you for the videos and the memories. Memento mori
i took a screen shot of the last stream so i will never let the memories of what they did ever die. you can tell this hit them right in the feels to remember all the good times together.
"I'm doing good, and I miss you." Unus Annus was one of the best things I've ever experienced, and I'm so grateful for it. Losing it was very hard and I think most of us grieved it as if it were losing a loved one, I know I did. Proud is an understatement of how I feel when it comes to Eef & Mark. I miss those videos & seeing them together so much, but they made that cruddy year so amazing for so many of us, and we'll never forget it. Memento Mori.
I don't think this is intentional, but I love the subversion at the end. The camera holds on the coffin for longer than what would be considered normal, almost as if there may be a twist at the end (the coffin moving/opening slightly or something) but it remains shut. It reminds me of how, despite every plea for them to keep Unus Annus around and save the videos, they still stuck to their plan so that they could stick with conveying that huge message behind it. It reminds me of the channel as a whole, and that makes me happy in ways I can't describe.
Especially because Mark said “I miss you and I’m doing good.” So it’s like some kind of conjoint reversal we’re they both accept the other and themselves.
I cannot thank you and Mark enough for Unus Annus. It’s weird to think that it would impact me this much years later. When I first watched it, I thought “I’ll kinda miss it but it’s just funny content for a year, no big deal.” But as time has passed by, it’s been more impactful then I could ever imagine. It has opened doors to realizations about myself and the scary movement of time. Now that it’s been two years, I feel like it’s impacted me more than I would ever know. 2020 was such a weird year. I was a different person and the year felt very unreal. The COVID-19 Pandemic, the murder hornets, the hellish year of school, the next chapter of realization that I wasn’t giving the last years of my childhood enough worth or fun. I felt absolutely miserable during that year. In fact, it was one of the worst years of my life. But whenever I watched Unus Annus, it cheered me up a lot. I know that sounds like a very cheesy cliche thing to say, but it really helped my mental health more than I would ever know. I didn’t fully grasp the idea that I had one year to watch all of the videos, I kinda just saw it as a “we’re bored so we wanna have fun” sort of thing, but that was far from the truth. I didn’t watch all of the content, but I wish I did. I never took the time for granted, but instead it felt like a “swipe left, swipe right” game of entertainment. For the first half of the year, I watched as much as I could, especially since my mental health had been sort of spiraling, but eventually I kinda fell out of it. Towards the end, I started to process the fact that these videos and memories wouldn’t last forever, so I thought “why am I wasting my time?” I tried to binge watch all of the content I missed, but I was a little too late. At least I caught up a little bit while I still could, it wasn’t way too late. The door was only starting to close in a more noticeable level, when it was always closing. I finally realized that this was my chance to make memories in a hellish year, because even though 2020 was one of the worst years of my life, I still had some amazing memories. I decided that I didn’t wanna experience joy in life only in the moment, I wanted to remember it and give my memories meaning. As Unus Annus was ending, I finally made some really good memories that I never knew would impact me so much in the future. Time is such a weird, scary thing, but we should always enjoy life as much as we can. That motto “Memento Mori” inspired me so much, it changed my way of thinking. Now I always spend everyday like it’s my last day, and spend my time with everyone I love at the fullest extent. I was beginning to really enjoy Unus Annus a lot more than I ever did, I was making special memories with the channel. Not just the videos themselves, but how it was impacting me. I memorized all of your happy faces and joyful body expressions. The way you smiled at each other hit me hard because we all knew that the channel would end soon and we could only enjoy everything we had in the channel while we still could. I then realized that the channel was not only helping my mental health, but that the memories I was making were so special that it all started to make sense to me. As I watched the last live stream of the channel’s death, all of the Unus Annus memories were replaying in my head as you all talked about how special it meant to you both and all the fans. As I revisioned my memories, emotions hit me a little hard. I felt a sense of worry that I wouldn’t be able to experience this much joy again. I was scared to return to my ordinary life, because it didn’t seem ordinary anymore. I was getting a little sad that the channel was ending, I felt so guilty for not taking the precious time to make more memories. So I watched the whole live stream and payed close attention to you and Mark’s body expressions and monologues. It hit me hard because I then realized that time is inevitable and that I’ve been wasting my time. What felt like a year of long eternity has passed by so fast. After the live stream ended, I thought “holy shit, it’s really over.” I decided that I should try to do stuff in my life to make as much happy memories as I can. I missed the channel already, but I never knew that as time progressed, I would only miss it more and more. I never thought that after 2 years would I be crying after watching these Memento Mori videos by you and Mark. I know our experiences are different, but my experience still felt special to me in its own way that I can’t explain. Thank you both so much for a year of fond memories and emotional support. While at the time I didn’t realize how much Unus Annus helped me, I knew that it was one of the only things that could help me that wouldn’t last forever. Time is always moving, and not everything stays the same, so we might as well make the most of it. After a year of absolute pain and misery, I then realized that the meaning of life was about time, because making the most of your fond memories and life experiences gives your life meaning. I never thought that today I would be writing this huge monologue to share my experience and appreciation of Unus Annus, but I wanted to share this special story with everyone because one of the best things you can do with special memories and experiences, is to share them. That’s the beauty of telling a story. Thank you and Mark so much for everything, I could never thank you both enough for the memories. It’s even hard for me to explain in my head how special Unus Annus was to me, but this is as much as I could explain. Go make some special memories and the most of life, and maybe share your stories with a loved one.
One subtle detail about both videos is Marks has a death tone to it, while ethan has a life tone to it an equal force always one of the same but can never be met .Memento Mori
I honestly cant wait to see Ethan break that sentence. “You’ll be the best thing ive ever made” cant wait to see him smash that and make something spectacular
It's over. But don't you feel kinda cool being part of something this big? I mean, one day, you'll be able to say "I was there" Love the hair by the way, Ethan
The thing that hit me the hardest was Ethan saying that he was okay, that's something that people don't honestly say enough. Watching him this past year has been worrying, because it was hard to know how he was feeling behind his videos. But knowing that he's ok, that's the best thing I could've hoped to hear tonight. Thank you Ethan for everything you've done for me. Memento Mori everyone
Yeah I know what you mean, I just thought it wasn’t my place to tell. But I’m glad he can say he’s okay. And I hope he knows we’re here if he ever needs us, and we’ll help however we can.
Unus annus was my escape, it quite literally kept me going that whole year because I was waking and had something to look forward too. I had something that brightened my day and the memories will always last
I didn’t realize just how baldly I needed a reminder that it really has been one year. I don’t think there will ever be a channel that gave me so much joy to watch every single day
Crazy to think about, already a year since that last livestream and the last heartbeat of Unus Annus. It was surreal sitting there, watching the timer hit zero, everything turning black, and the channel disappearing all within a minute. It was truly something special, I genuinely LOVED the content that you guys uploaded, and was fortunate enough to have been there since the beginning. To then let it all go really taught us all a valuable lesson. And, for everybody involved, to put in so much work into something to just let it go is truly impressive, and it’s something you should be incredibly proud of. It’s certainly something of the most impressive creations on this platform, and all the memories from it will stick with all of us. And of course, Memento Mori, Unus Annus.
It was crazy how so many people all around the world were watching the livestream and witness it die.. it meant something to all of us. It had a huge impact.. unlike any other thing on this platform. Memento Mori.
The thing that really got me was “I’m doing good.” Anyone who has lost something or someone from their life knows that need to let them know that their doing okay. And losing unus annus was grief and it was loss for the people that watched it and were apart of it. So I can’t imagine what it was like for the people that made it. I’m so proud of them and everything that they have accomplished. Unus Annus was a constant in my life when everything else was up in the air and I will never forget it. Im also doing okay 🖤🤍
These two videos make me feel some weird shit. Pain and happiness all together, the great memories we have, but the fact it’s gone.. You two did a great job at making everyone laugh, smile and even made them sentimental. Unus Annus is a symbol for time being precious and memories being the best and having to know that the end still isn’t the actual end. You probably made so many people realise so much through making the videos and I thank you for that. Stay strong guys! Unus Annus will remain in our hearts and minds. Memento Mori 🖤🤍🖤🤍
Hearing "I will see you next year" instead of "I will see you tomorrow" is the exact lesson, how we took the days granted.
Makes me sad
Yup.
Absolutely 😭
That’s the thing. Almost all of us just bought Matpat’s theory: the clock would just stop. He didn’t realize that all the evidence given was just a red herring, to have us convince ourselves that the clock would stop, and the best channel (to a lot of us) would stay in some predictable twist. We never expected them to follow up on the promise of deleting the channel, especially after it got so big. They followed up. We should’ve listened.
@@gotsomham people really thought that lol?
Ethan: “I’m doing good, and I miss you”
Mark: “I miss you, but I’m doing good”
I think that’s all that needs to be said.
I found Ethan’s right after I saw Mark’s, crying again lol. The love that I have for this community is indescribable. I’m so grateful that we all get to experience this together. Momento Mori.
@@Vixorel Momento Mori
what are you saying with this? that mark doesn't care as much?
@@billyloper4072 I think they mean like how Ethan had sort hair and mark had long hair one wore black the other wore white not that mark cares less does that make sense?
@@billyloper4072
No, they were literally quoting Mark and Ethan. They both put out a video like this.
The way Ethan and marks hairstyles have effectively switched is sort of poetic. By the end of their journeys, Unus became a little more like Annus, and Annus became a bit more like Unus. Each of them impacted the other in that year in a way none of us will be able to fully appreciate.
I also felt that through how mark is wearing black in his video and Ethan is wearing white
Idk how intentional that was but it's so interesting
Damn bro, that really made me thing
I was thinking about their hair swap but I wasn’t able to connect it as well as you. I love that thought.
it quite literally feels like the yin-yang symbol, you know? each side has a little piece of the other with it, and its still perfectly balanced
@@lolno7273 thats beautiful
The fact that Ethan has Mark's old hairstyle and Mark has Ethan's speaks a lot about this, besides the heartfelt words.
And the switched clothing colors: Ethan was wearing white and Mark was wearing black 🤍🖤
but they still left roses of their respective colours
It felt so weird I literally thought it was Mark for a second
Never thought I’d feel nostalgia from hearing a clock ticking.
Nubbz?! It never fails to amaze me how everything on the internet seems to connect in some way
I was half hoping to hear the chanting as well
Me too man, always gives me chills
Imagine what it'll feel like in 9 more years.
wait clocks tick
Stuff like this really brings back those moments where we say, “I’m gonna go watch that Unus Annus video!” And then we realize we can’t.
The worstttttttt. I want to see it so bad but I will never ever watch an archived video because it would ruin it
Never ever ever forget pee sauna, it's all we got left
@@annaquattlebaum3415 THIS it's so easy to look into some a-hole who has it reuploaded but it wouldn't feel the same.
@@annaquattlebaum3415 same, when it ended I found a discord server that has a folder of the videos and as soon as I watched one I felt worse than when it ended so I haven’t opened the folder for at least ten months and I don’t want to delete it because it’s all that I have left of unus annus because I never got any of the merch
It's just in our memories... :'(
As long as someone still can sing "hey now, don't try it at home" and remember what it was about, Unus Annus will never be forgotten.
Or “It’s the dance of Italy, oh whoa whoa”, and “Sugar and Pepper and a Pepper and Sugar and a Sugar and Pepper…”
Aaaand Im crying
I can literally hear the song… wow
if you can still do the Dance of Italy, then its still truly alive in our hearts.
Unus Annus will never be forgotten.
Just as much as the GONGOOZLER has not forgotten you.
I’ll never forget Ethan yelling “We just need a little bit more fucking time!” It was strong for a mostly goofy channel

Interesting
I’m not crying. You are.
Imagine how Mark, Ethan, and Amy all felt after hitting that button, sitting there together in silence, knowing everything had come to an end.
goddd that must've been extremely bittersweet
I kinda wish they made one for Amy since she was there nearly just as long as they were. I know Mark and Ethan were the duo of the channel but having Amy do one would have been pretty cool
ok
@@TheAngelofFate17 Amy wore both black and white in the final live stream, I like to think that she’s the coffin that holds both Unus and Annus together
@@windy4204 that’s actually a beautiful way of putting it. amy was 100% the coffin that brought unus and annus together as mark said amy came up with most ideas for the channel, she was the biggest part of it all :’)
I said it on Mark's and I'll say it here, I find it comforting to know that they miss Unus Annus the same way we do, as something that we all grieve over and cherish like a person.
I saw you on both (づ￣ ³￣)づ❤️
Unus and annus were pretty much just mark and Ethan and they grew into the roles and I think when those roles had to go a part of them died with them
Always remember the dead never forget
It's as if the person we cherish is the people we all were during that year.

We never left
I stayed up until midnight
it was very, very, worth it
Can we just take a moment to admire the fact that Mark wore black to honor Ethan And Ethan wore White to honor Mark not only that but they also brought a rose representing their own colors.

I remember that video RIP UA

I hope you like it.
"I wouldnt want to have done it with anybody else"
That hit hard.
The sound of a clock ticking is always going to bring me back to a time I can never forget. Thank you for doing this, we all needed it.
I adore the difference between Mark and Ethan's artist style for their seperate Unus Annus videos
It kinda reflects their personalities
It’s interesting because in the “we did it” videos the day after the death, Ethan was more visibly emotional than Mark. Now Mark was more visibly emotional than Ethan. I saw a comment about the hairstyles switching. I noticed the colors (loosely) switch because mark was in gray and Ethan was in beige.
Marks looked more cinematic especially the opening
They also had opposite black and white clothing and roses. (Mark had black shoes and short, but white pants, while Ethan had white shoes and shirt, but black pants)
@@abbyensslen4050 Yeah you can see how it's hitting Mark a lot more now compared to Ethan where he kinda accepted it fast. Oddly and perfectly it does kinda reflect to how people handle death in general. Some hold it in for a long time while others accept that it's gone immediately. Unus Annus was way more than just making videos. The message it portrayed and how it's impacted people is nothing short of art. Like a well crafted piece of music that'll last for decades.
Unus Annus will never be forgotten
It’ll never be forgotten
It will be as anything in life, however it wont be forgoten while the people who saw it remain on this earth

That clock. That tone. It's been a long, LONG time since I've seen Ethan this serious. I had set a reminder to repeat every year at the end of the stream and I plan to remember along with everyone. Every year. For the Unuses, as weird as we may be, and for the Annuses, Strong and courageous to a fault. For the crew behind it, Amy and the others, and for the good times. And the bad times. Memento Mori, Unus Annus.
I will be counting away the seconds of each and every day as that dreaded day comes to a close for the next year to remember. Honora te. Memento Mori.
I like to think the coffin is full of hard drives holding all the Unus Annus videos. I don't know why, I just think it would be poetic to have the channel's content literally closed into the coffin.
I hope they did that, a time capsule kind of deal.
a flashdrive with all of the videos saved :’)
Hey!!! remember that unus annus video where mark and ethan made an actually time capsule
That sounds so cool
@@MaskedKaijublue wasnt there like, food in there too?? if that is true, then its gotta be really gross now
"Cooking with sex toys" will always hold a special place to me as the starting line to a insane journey. We all miss Unus Annus but we will never forget it.
It will hold a special place in Mini hearts especially since that was the first video and that showed how interesting the channel was going to be
It was definitely the omg moment to realising what type of channel it was going to be for the rest of the year haha
Memento Mori.
Neither will that mail man
man i can still see that video in my head, it was my fav
This simultaneously feels like rubbing salt in a cut and receiving a long-needed hug
LITERALLY
Perfectly explained
We both have dead profile pics
A man covered in salt hugs you while you are covered in cuts. You cry... yet you don't know exactly why
That was my pfp for a while
I am not going to lie, Ethan grew so much from Unus Annus. I actually got chills from the intro, and it provided such good cinematography. Unus Annus was something that I can't forget, but I never wanted to anyway. I hope you grow more successful, but never forget what got you here, you. You got you here.
Im sad now 😭 cause unus and Annus are gone they're never coming back. Maybe next year I'll see those two come back. Because I hate how it ended LIKE that I'm very sad 🥺 unus and Annus come back please. I'm SAD. Unus Annus.
I’ll always miss the black and white shenanigans. Really got me through some tough times in my life.
especially quarantine, it was one of the main sources of joy in my life at the time
Me too friend. Idk if I'd still be here without them. Gave me something to get better for and wait for. There will never be anything as special as Unus Annus 🤍🖤
Hope your are getting even better day by day
Still does honestly... I've got two shirts... Everytime I see one of em or see someone else wearing merch a flood of great memories... Truly amazing what they did
same here too
Having watched Mark's one first, I just noticed how Mark was wearing black, had a white rose and had a casket surrounded by black flowers. Ethan was wearing white, had a black rose and a casket surrounded by white flowers. The amount of detail in these videos even now is beautiful
marks flowers around the casket were also white....
The memories hit hard... Even the timer sound effect is nostalgic.

I remember..2020, the pandemic was harsh on the whole world and we were in quarantine but Unnus Annus made it seem not so dark and scary. It was a year that was filled with laughter even though the world was falling apart Unnus Annus made it okay..So thank you boys, I'm proud of both of you
Man your comment hit hard, in a good way
But definitely made me misty eyed
2019/2020 was definitely both the best and the worst year for Unus Annus to have been made. It helped a lot of people including myself during the difficult time of early quarantine, and it also drove home one of the points of the channel: we have to make do with the time we have. I'm so grateful to the team for continuing forward with the project and not missing a single day. (It was also the worst year because of all the ideas Mark and Ethan had that they weren't able to do, but, while disappointing, that feels even negligible.)
The world is still falling apart.
Future Ethan becoming a father talking to his kid: You are the second best thing I’ve ever made…
That's cold, but hilarious.
XD
third if you count his channel
Pretty cool thinking that, although we did not get to see them together on screen again this time, Mark and Ethan probably got together again to film their scenes
They're good friends, I'm sure they talk all the time. This was special though. I've visited graves of people I loved, and it's exactly like this.
It was nice to see a short video of remembering Unnus Annus. A good reminder of what gave so many people so much joy.
Ethan is also going to be a part of Space With Markiplier (Heist 2) so they're doing a project together again 😢
yeah they posted pictures together on their instgrams!
Mark is probably holding the camera
Hearing "see you next year" instead of "see you tomorrow" just made it feel so much more real. I mean, I've spent a lot of this year coming to terms with the fact that it's gone and I got to a point where I had accepted that. But hearing him say that just made all of those feelings hit me again. Unus Annus was an amazing, unforgettable experience and I'm glad I was here for it, even if it was just for the last few months
I didn't pay much attention to the first few months but I quickly got swept up towards the middle. I know the videos still get floated around but it'll never be the same
I didn't had much luck myself , i discovered unus annus 5 days before the end , but boy, i watched everything and I'm so sad not having be able to know it before
But I'm grateful of having to know it even at the end
Even if it was one video you saw you still got in on the experience and that’s something sooo special that people in the future or people who overlooked it won’t get to say.
I only discovered Unus Annus two weeks before it ended but it still left a huge impact on me. I'll never forget it.
It just hit me that I haven't seen Ethan in almost a year, it truly was a great project.

"The difference is that this time I'm alone." 😭 That hit me really hard honestly. It's soo different going through something alone than it is doing it with someone else.
It's insane how visceral both Mark and Ethan's reactions feel just discussing this, goes to show just how impactful this has been for not just us the viewers but them. Memento Mori.
I love how it's a dialogue between Mark and ethan both videos seem like a conversations
Ethan: "I'm doing good and I miss you"
Mark:"I miss you too but I'm doing good
I really miss those two, hearing the ticking of that clock brings a tear my face 😔 Memento mori🖤
I like to imagine, in both Mark and Ethan’s videos, that they are talking to each other in the coffin. Mark is talking to Ethan, and Ethan is talking to Mark. They are telling each other how Unus Annus impacted each other. It gives a bittersweet feeling, having this final close.
That's what they were going for too.
It's almost like that's the point
I think it would have been a nice touch if one of the videos was mirrored, so that say Mark was facing right and Ethan was facing left to give the implication that they really WERE having a conversation with each other.
oh way to make me cry
Just like the livestream. It’s awesome
“The difference is now I have to do it alone” made me cry so hard
It's okay they probably hugged off camera. c:
I would’ve but I near parents so crying would be weird
Mark: "I miss it... the coolest thing that affected others..."
Ethan: "I am a changed man... how did we do it? I will never do anything as cool as that.. I am so alone now"
Man... somehow this is very powerful. Thank you Ethan for making it.
I had a stroke at the start of the year, and was certain I was out of time. I am 24 years old.
It is amazing how quickly you can run out of time. Spend it wisely.

It feels like mark and Ethan were talking to each other after they’ve died, very impactful
I agree, that's exactly how I felt after watching both videos! Especially with the changing colours and carrying their own colour flowers! :"(
Bro stop you gonna make me cry
Or maybe they’re talking to themselves, remember they weren’t Mark and Ethan in Unus Annus, they were Unus and Annus, and Unus and Annus are dead.
Ethan: sheds light on unus annus
Mark: sheds actual tears

Thank you Ethan, for being part of something that inadvertently kept me here in a really dark time for me personally. I'll always have a place in my heart for you, and Mark. Love you guys ❤
[3:12] “if i’m honest, it doesn’t really feel like it even happened at all in a way.” i felt that so deeply. i don’t have clear memories of each video and each moment, but i have clear memory of the emotions unus annus made me feel. i cant relive unus annus, but damn are those feelings still alive and well in my memory.
I relate to this so much. I don't remember every video clearly, but I do remember how it helped me get through tough times in my life,and how the whole thing made me feel.
Well said. Couldn’t have said it better in fact
Same here. It really got my husband and I through quarantine. It’s something we got to look forward to every single day, and the feelings of that season are vivid

Unus Annus
What I heard: visiting Unus Annus and talking about what he's accomplished in the year after.
What I felt: Me talking to both my Grandma's that I lost this year within a few months of each other.
Thanks for being here the year before Unus Annus. You gave me the strength to face what happened next, even if it still hurt like hell.
“Crying over Unus Annus for the first time in a year” is not what I had on my list of things that would happen today but okay
Me too
Stolen
I cried when they deleted it too-
I used to think "It's gone, nothing will ever feel the same" Now a whole year has passed without it, and it's an acceptance that back then I never thought I'd accept.
Memento Mori, Unus Annus
I know exactly how you feel. After it was gone, I felt like I was missing a part of my day every day. Now I still miss it, but I'm happy I got to experience it and i can also accept that it's gone.
Hopefully another year will pass, and we can celebrate the death day of what was the most innovative and entertaining project that our generation was around to witness.
Man this hurts so much. It was crazy how during Unus Annus we all were stuck at home for a period of time. These videos brought so much joy and will hold a special place... I wish it would come back but let's keep the memory alive
I feel the same way, my heart is breaking all over again. The amount of enjoyment and laughter I got out of that year was incredible. I get sentimental every time I think about it.
When Unus Annus was ending, I was kinda real sick at the time, couldn't sleep at all, or breath right... (Dunno about Coivd, never got tested, but what it was, was pretty bad) So I remember it all vividly, this was great moral help in time of need, Unus Annus, memento mori. Really miss it, it was great times. :'(
I never imagined this would make me cry.
Well…they did say…anyone could step up and take the torch that was left by Unnus Annus and make another one…soooo….🤔🤔🤔😊😊😊
lets keep the memories.. that all they could have wanted
it makes me genuinely so happy that they haven't forgotten, and i haven't forgotten
i can't believe its been a year already
this brought back so many memories and im getting emotional watching both videos
thank you, ethan and mark for making me happy.
"I'll see you next year" such a simple sentence that holds so much emotion
Yes. This
RIGHT?! 😭
I watched Mark’s first, and I liked how it was deliberate and final. It’s over but it’s remembered and loved. And I like how Ethan’s has the build up and excitement of what’s to come next. They are an incredible pair. No one could’ve done Unus Annus better than them.
That part when Ethan says "I'm doing stuff now, but the difference is this time, I'm Alone" Cut extremely deep, and I think is one of the things that hurts the most when I look back on it. It truly felt like in that time I got to know these two goofballs more than I ever did or will in their videos. There was just something special about them being there every day with a new adventure interacting with eachother, for eachother, instead of just a camera. Whenever I see fanart or screenshots on my feeds from time to time, it just hits like a truck how much I really miss how wholesome it all was. And in the moment Ethan says that, it's never felt more true that I dont think there will be anything that felt quite like it. I feel like if anyone tries, all it will do is bring me back to the memories of Unus Annus and make them all the more painful. Nothing will be able to replicate it, to me.
my face fell so fast when he said that
Beautifully put and beautifully true for me too… I didn’t know if I would shed a tear for this but here we are. I do want to tell Ethan that he will be part of better things and this is not his final symphony but for right now, I can see how Unus Annus would defiantly take the cake for him as it has done for me and so many others. I miss it so much… Memento Mori friend. 🤍🖤
you just can tell how much they loved each other and spending time doing what they both loved. It hurts to see them mourning, but its what was intended to happen in the end. I just hope that the pain of it all isn’t why they don’t make collab videos at the moment. It’s understandable. I hope they’re both doing well, as well as Amy. It’s gotta be hard to leave something so large behind you
Very well said.
I agree
I genuinely just cried. Thank you for being alive Ethan. Thank you for continuing on Mark. Just...thank you.
The fact that even their clothes correspond with each other, so much thought was put into this. Here, Ethan wears white shirt, black pants, while mark wore white (more like grey) pants and black shirt. Their roses are black and white, it all fits in perfectly.
Also that you hear ticking in the beginning of his video and you don't hear it at the end. and in Marks video you don't hear the ticking until the end of his.
Yp
And Mark'' nails are blank, while Ethan's are black...
Ethan: “I’m doing good, and I miss you”
Mark: “I miss you, and I’m doing good”

Anyone notice that they switched hair styles a year later? Ethan was the one with short hair last year and Mark had long fluffy hair. Now Ethan is the one with the long and fluffy hair and Marks has it short
They also swapped colors 👀
@@paradoxx0468 That was the first thing I noticed, the color swap.
@@paradoxx0468 Ethan’s hair looks darker, but Marks looks the same
@@paradoxx0468 They didn't switch colors, what do you mean? Ethan is black and Mark is White

I'm sad I wasn't able to watch this all the way through. My partner and I would watch it every night together after dinner, but life happened and we missed a lot... The show was so good. Thank you
Same, but then again it gives me a certain sense of mystery when I think of what I may have missed. We all miss things in life, but cherish what little we get in the time we are given.

Seeing the coffin in such great condition is both amazing and sad, because it signifies Unus Annus in a way where the memory is still fresh for everyone. But it's so empty... We will never lose that feeling of Unus Annus.
The fact that we're all going "Oh wow, it's really been a year already?" speaks volumes on what Unus Annus really was. Even those of us who vowed not to forget, to go against the concept and forcefully remember, still forgot about it to some extent. We forgot the anniversary was even coming, we went back to our lives. And yet when reminded of its existence, we all feel that rush of nostalgia - the memories of the final stream, the best bits of our favourite videos, the wild goose chase for lore that was never really there, the fanart, the guests, all of it. The memories are there, but for how long? I wonder how much of that information will still be available in our brains for recall when the 2nd anniversary of the death of Unus Annus finally rolls around...
10 /10 your essay was great :)
Agreed 10/10
The thing is, remembering it doesn't go against the concept. Remembering WAS the concept of it all: That, though everything eventually ends in life, the legacy of something is what lives on, and how it survives fading completely into obscurity.
It's quite a beautifully tragic thing isn't it? The bittersweet fragility of something so simple, yet something that can never be described with words. It's something special, something not all of us can experience or understand, but it's always there. Whenever you make a memory, whenever you may listen to a song you enjoy, whenever you might do the littlest things like get up in the morning and make toast (or whatever you prefer,) for breakfast. Sometimes it's those sweet fleeting moments that we often deem as forgettable. (But some things are easier to forget than others.)
I'm someone whose not ever prone to remember things. I can get carried away easily, I can get lost in my own house, and I can even forget why I walk into my kitchen, but there are just some things I cannot simply 'forget' or 'ignore'. I am guilty of never sticking around for too long, and I am guilty for not staying until the end. I am guilty for not being there when I needed to be.
Even if Unus Anus might be something more than a memory, something close to a dream, akin to something magical and lively-yet as clear and bold until it fades away like the rest of us-It's special because we know it to be. We were all here, and regardless of whether or not we'll be here then doesn't seem to worry me one bit. As much as I miss this wondrous venture, I'll miss not knowing what it was. (Like when you binge a series and you enjoyed it so much that you'd do anything to go back and rewatch it over again, from a time that would allow you to enjoy the show to its fullest.)
I miss Unus Anus. But this time, I wouldn't want to go back to when it first started, became if this taught me anything; nothing ever lasts. We need to let go. It may hurt, it may seem like we're just setting aside these precious days, months, years of ours', but we're not. I'd like to think that we're simply honoring it instead. (Maybe Unus and Anus would be proud of us. Who knows? They're gone aren't they?) But they're with you and I. Their memory, the ones we made and forged, will still continue to live on. Even if the world is fated to crumble to dust, or our legacies to be lost in the midst of time-that will stop for no one-as long as someone is willing to dream, to believe, it will continue to make it's own memoirs. They have never left us, and never will. Despite the fact that it is in our nature to lose everything so easily, I think that's what makes all of this so amazing. (Could I go so far to say desperate?) In maybe a month, or another year or so, I'll reminisce about two grown men being dorks and weird things that have meaningful life lessons etched into the fine print, and I'll smile.
(Because we can never truly forget the impact of words or actions.) As long as time will go on, so shall we. All we have, is the hope of holding on to those memories. The memories everyone has given us, and that my friends, is remarkably captivating in its own right.
Or, in summary, I think it's those missing pieces that make it so memorable even if we were to forget.
Oh my Eef, I did not mean to write this much but my point still stands. Awesome comment by the way, 10/10. (Shoot, lots of typos and grammatical errors.)
If you think of childhood memories even one you remember greatly it's blurred, your brain forgets the detail even if you try to keep it in. Then there is the fact that we sometimes bend memories within our heads like editing a video this leads to stuff like the Mandela effect.
Memories will last till they don't, will just hold them for as long as we can.
5:10 This hit home with me because I watched Unus Annus with my ex everyday and now I'm alone. The worst part is now I'm doing so good for myself in that I'm learning two new languages, I went back to school and I can see my future career unfolding, yet I'm the lonliest I've ever been. All these great things don't mean anything without someone to share it with.
I feel like I'm at an actual funeral. I'm literally sobbing. When he started talking about experiencing it alone, I lost it.
I've never been heavily emotional, but I've never been so close to crying because of a youtube channel. Unus Annus was the single most important TH-cam channel to me and will continue to be for the rest of my life.

I love how impactful this was, to the point that it still hits hard a year later after all we were left with, was memories. Also love that Mark and Ethan have switched hairstyles between then.
Omg I didn’t even realize til this comment that makes me really happy
I KNOW I LITERALLY NOTICED THAT MARK CUT HIS AND ETHAN GREW HIS OUT LOL
I love that each of them were wearing the other's colour with their own, and the roses matched their usual UA colour. How Ethan was silent at first and then heartfelt. And Mark trying to joke through the pain right off the bat before breaking down. Both so torn over the past of their success, but trying to appreciate what they've accomplished since then. I love these two sm
I was excited and in awe by the cinematography and music, until I heard the clock. THAT hurt my heart way more than expected, and yet it also brought a smile of nostalgia to my face, like hearing the song your grandmother always used to hum. Gone but never forgotten, and we are all stronger for living, laughing, and enduring the pain of loss.
me watching Mark's video: "what a cool concept and way to honor the channel, very sweet :)"
me watching Ethan's video: *bawling my eyes out from the emotion Ethan's speech is causing me to feel*
I’m glad it is not just me
NO SAME I'M CRYING IN THE CLUB RN
But.. but I’m already crying from watching marks’s is this going to be worse ;(
Not going to lie. Mark's video had me smiling remembering all the fun watching Unus Anus was. Ethan's video made me cry like my favorite pet just died.
Memento Mori
literally exactly how im feeling right now D:
you two are unbelievably incredible. the fact that mark’s video is 4:56 long and ethan’s is 9:15, so if you add both, it makes 14:11. 14/11.
the attention to even the smallest details. i truly don’t believe anyone else could have done Unus Annus. i admire you both so much, thank you for the videos and the memories.

same! I remember staying up until 3am and getting up in the morning to tell my mom all about it and how meaningful and amazing it was to me
Saaaaaaaaaaaaame
I remember I sat up until 2am and when the clock struck 0, I just bawled my eyes out :(
i took a screen shot of the last stream so i will never let the memories of what they did ever die. you can tell this hit them right in the feels to remember all the good times together.
"I'm doing good, and I miss you."
Unus Annus was one of the best things I've ever experienced, and I'm so grateful for it. Losing it was very hard and I think most of us grieved it as if it were losing a loved one, I know I did. Proud is an understatement of how I feel when it comes to Eef & Mark. I miss those videos & seeing them together so much, but they made that cruddy year so amazing for so many of us, and we'll never forget it.
Memento Mori.
I don't think this is intentional, but I love the subversion at the end. The camera holds on the coffin for longer than what would be considered normal, almost as if there may be a twist at the end (the coffin moving/opening slightly or something) but it remains shut. It reminds me of how, despite every plea for them to keep Unus Annus around and save the videos, they still stuck to their plan so that they could stick with conveying that huge message behind it. It reminds me of the channel as a whole, and that makes me happy in ways I can't describe.
ok
thats a beautiful way to describe their loyalty to destruction.
I think they did it so that the length of the video is today's date- 9/14
@@chloefrench6832 it's 11/14
yea they did the same thing on marks channel.
The _"I'll miss you"_ and _"I'll see you next year"_ really hit hard and made me cry. And I've already cried from watching Mark's video too!

@@disneygirl778 unus annus
Especially because Mark said “I miss you and I’m doing good.” So it’s like some kind of conjoint reversal we’re they both accept the other and themselves.
Trying to think of the words to say and I couldn’t have said it any better my friend
I cannot thank you and Mark enough for Unus Annus. It’s weird to think that it would impact me this much years later. When I first watched it, I thought “I’ll kinda miss it but it’s just funny content for a year, no big deal.” But as time has passed by, it’s been more impactful then I could ever imagine. It has opened doors to realizations about myself and the scary movement of time. Now that it’s been two years, I feel like it’s impacted me more than I would ever know.
2020 was such a weird year. I was a different person and the year felt very unreal. The COVID-19 Pandemic, the murder hornets, the hellish year of school, the next chapter of realization that I wasn’t giving the last years of my childhood enough worth or fun. I felt absolutely miserable during that year. In fact, it was one of the worst years of my life. But whenever I watched Unus Annus, it cheered me up a lot. I know that sounds like a very cheesy cliche thing to say, but it really helped my mental health more than I would ever know. I didn’t fully grasp the idea that I had one year to watch all of the videos, I kinda just saw it as a “we’re bored so we wanna have fun” sort of thing, but that was far from the truth. I didn’t watch all of the content, but I wish I did. I never took the time for granted, but instead it felt like a “swipe left, swipe right” game of entertainment.
For the first half of the year, I watched as much as I could, especially since my mental health had been sort of spiraling, but eventually I kinda fell out of it. Towards the end, I started to process the fact that these videos and memories wouldn’t last forever, so I thought “why am I wasting my time?” I tried to binge watch all of the content I missed, but I was a little too late. At least I caught up a little bit while I still could, it wasn’t way too late. The door was only starting to close in a more noticeable level, when it was always closing. I finally realized that this was my chance to make memories in a hellish year, because even though 2020 was one of the worst years of my life, I still had some amazing memories. I decided that I didn’t wanna experience joy in life only in the moment, I wanted to remember it and give my memories meaning.
As Unus Annus was ending, I finally made some really good memories that I never knew would impact me so much in the future. Time is such a weird, scary thing, but we should always enjoy life as much as we can. That motto “Memento Mori” inspired me so much, it changed my way of thinking. Now I always spend everyday like it’s my last day, and spend my time with everyone I love at the fullest extent. I was beginning to really enjoy Unus Annus a lot more than I ever did, I was making special memories with the channel. Not just the videos themselves, but how it was impacting me. I memorized all of your happy faces and joyful body expressions. The way you smiled at each other hit me hard because we all knew that the channel would end soon and we could only enjoy everything we had in the channel while we still could.
I then realized that the channel was not only helping my mental health, but that the memories I was making were so special that it all started to make sense to me. As I watched the last live stream of the channel’s death, all of the Unus Annus memories were replaying in my head as you all talked about how special it meant to you both and all the fans. As I revisioned my memories, emotions hit me a little hard. I felt a sense of worry that I wouldn’t be able to experience this much joy again. I was scared to return to my ordinary life, because it didn’t seem ordinary anymore. I was getting a little sad that the channel was ending, I felt so guilty for not taking the precious time to make more memories. So I watched the whole live stream and payed close attention to you and Mark’s body expressions and monologues. It hit me hard because I then realized that time is inevitable and that I’ve been wasting my time. What felt like a year of long eternity has passed by so fast.
After the live stream ended, I thought “holy shit, it’s really over.” I decided that I should try to do stuff in my life to make as much happy memories as I can. I missed the channel already, but I never knew that as time progressed, I would only miss it more and more.
I never thought that after 2 years would I be crying after watching these Memento Mori videos by you and Mark. I know our experiences are different, but my experience still felt special to me in its own way that I can’t explain.
Thank you both so much for a year of fond memories and emotional support. While at the time I didn’t realize how much Unus Annus helped me, I knew that it was one of the only things that could help me that wouldn’t last forever. Time is always moving, and not everything stays the same, so we might as well make the most of it. After a year of absolute pain and misery, I then realized that the meaning of life was about time, because making the most of your fond memories and life experiences gives your life meaning. I never thought that today I would be writing this huge monologue to share my experience and appreciation of Unus Annus, but I wanted to share this special story with everyone because one of the best things you can do with special memories and experiences, is to share them. That’s the beauty of telling a story.
Thank you and Mark so much for everything, I could never thank you both enough for the memories. It’s even hard for me to explain in my head how special Unus Annus was to me, but this is as much as I could explain.
Go make some special memories and the most of life, and maybe share your stories with a loved one.
Everyone else: Gets emotional
Me: Tries, but keeps remembering the puppet they were 'gonna bury in the casket.
Who says the puppet isn't in there?
I forgot that! 🤣 Now I'm going from sniffling to laughing.
Omg I forgot all about that
One subtle detail about both videos is Marks has a death tone to it, while ethan has a life tone to it an equal force always one of the same but can never be met .Memento Mori
I noticed that too! In the music and lighting they are both more full of life.
i noticed that as well! it’s amazing how the little details can mean so much. memento mori ⌛️
I honestly cant wait to see Ethan break that sentence. “You’ll be the best thing ive ever made” cant wait to see him smash that and make something spectacular
Me too! I look forward to that day!
It's over. But don't you feel kinda cool being part of something this big? I mean, one day, you'll be able to say "I was there" Love the hair by the way, Ethan
Okay, Ethan giving the coffin a little pat pat broke whatever was holding me together.
Unus Annus was best boy(s).
and from within the coffin we heard a deep voice, muffled from within the wooden confines say softly:
“Don’t touch me”
May I ask what happened ?
BRO i actually got chills when he did thattt
The thing that hit me the hardest was Ethan saying that he was okay, that's something that people don't honestly say enough. Watching him this past year has been worrying, because it was hard to know how he was feeling behind his videos. But knowing that he's ok, that's the best thing I could've hoped to hear tonight. Thank you Ethan for everything you've done for me. Memento Mori everyone
Yeah but i also like how on marks side he said he wasnt okay. Again its the 2 sides of a coin. Like they were on Unus Anus
Yeah I know what you mean, I just thought it wasn’t my place to tell. But I’m glad he can say he’s okay. And I hope he knows we’re here if he ever needs us, and we’ll help however we can.
I’m gonna actually cry seeing this video. Unus Annus was so important to me and I miss it a lot. Thanks for everything, ethan :,)
i just finished mark’s and i’m sobbing
I cried watching Mark's I'm ready to cry some more
Your not alone. We are all together.
Now unus and annus rest peacefully, knowing they aren't forgotten.
The fact that you could here him start to cry as he walked away was so heartbreaking
Unus annus was my escape, it quite literally kept me going that whole year because I was waking and had something to look forward too. I had something that brightened my day and the memories will always last
I didn’t realize just how baldly I needed a reminder that it really has been one year. I don’t think there will ever be a channel that gave me so much joy to watch every single day
Baldly
Crazy to think about, already a year since that last livestream and the last heartbeat of Unus Annus. It was surreal sitting there, watching the timer hit zero, everything turning black, and the channel disappearing all within a minute.
It was truly something special, I genuinely LOVED the content that you guys uploaded, and was fortunate enough to have been there since the beginning. To then let it all go really taught us all a valuable lesson. And, for everybody involved, to put in so much work into something to just let it go is truly impressive, and it’s something you should be incredibly proud of.
It’s certainly something of the most impressive creations on this platform, and all the memories from it will stick with all of us.
And of course, Memento Mori, Unus Annus.
that means its been 2 years since the start, but it hasn't even felt that long...
@@justamicrowave5297
That gave me an even huger shock, that is genuinely crazy!
It was crazy how so many people all around the world were watching the livestream and witness it die.. it meant something to all of us. It had a huge impact.. unlike any other thing on this platform.
Memento Mori.
memento mori, im getting proper emotional now
i watched every single video they ever uploaded, then missed the livestream. i cried..
The thing that really got me was “I’m doing good.” Anyone who has lost something or someone from their life knows that need to let them know that their doing okay. And losing unus annus was grief and it was loss for the people that watched it and were apart of it. So I can’t imagine what it was like for the people that made it. I’m so proud of them and everything that they have accomplished. Unus Annus was a constant in my life when everything else was up in the air and I will never forget it. Im also doing okay 🖤🤍
Julie girl you’re making me cry 😂💗🥺
I totally resonate with that feeling of having a constant when your world is in turmoil. Unus Annus was so special.
I think it’s cool that both of them said it as well.
These two videos make me feel some weird shit. Pain and happiness all together, the great memories we have, but the fact it’s gone.. You two did a great job at making everyone laugh, smile and even made them sentimental. Unus Annus is a symbol for time being precious and memories being the best and having to know that the end still isn’t the actual end. You probably made so many people realise so much through making the videos and I thank you for that. Stay strong guys! Unus Annus will remain in our hearts and minds. Memento Mori 🖤🤍🖤🤍
Ethan's hits me with reality, while Mark's makes me wanna cry
they both made me cry tbh
