Outlines
đ„ Introduction to 'Hi, I'm Mary Mary' Series
This paragraph introduces the 'Hi, I'm Mary Mary' series, which initially started with a simple premise but has since evolved into a complex narrative. The series revolves around the main character, Mary, who lives alone in a house she believes is a copy of her parents' home. She is unable to leave or interact with the outside world and believes she is making videos for no one. The video series has introduced several characters, including Shadow Mary, the Shadow Man, Maria, and the Woman in White, and locations such as the house and garden. The narrative explores the strange happenings in the house and the psychological torment Mary experiences, especially at night, with the appearance of Shadow Mary.
đ Encounters with Antagonistic Characters
In this section, the script delves into the encounters Mary has with the antagonistic characters in her house. Maria, who endlessly laughs at Mary, is introduced, causing Mary distress to the point of cutting her own photo's head off. The Shadow Man is also introduced as a looming presence that does not harm Mary but contributes to her fear. The house's strange behavior, such as restocking food and functioning lights only at night, adds to Mary's isolation and fear. The script also mentions Mary's attempts to keep herself occupied and her growing paranoia as she tries to sleep amidst the constant laughter of Maria.
đ The Disturbance of Day-Night Cycle
This paragraph discusses the disturbance in the day-night cycle within the series, which is significant as it reflects the stark differences between Mary's experiences during the day and at night. The day represents a period of relative peace, while the night brings out the house's haunting nature and Mary's torment. The script describes how Mary tries to map out safe areas in the house at night and her hourly checks to ensure the doors and windows are locked, symbolizing her desperate need for control and escape. The paragraph also highlights Mary's growing despair and denial about her situation.
đ Mary's Struggle with Her Inner Demons
The script continues to explore Mary's struggle with her inner demons, represented by the characters and occurrences in the house. Shadow Mary is shown to chase Mary, leading to a discovery of an underwater area, the garden, which serves as Mary's only solace. The garden represents a dreamlike escape for Mary from the torment of the house. The paragraph also discusses the audience's role in providing Mary with a sense of connection to the outside world, which could be a coping mechanism for her.
đ©â𩳠The Woman in White's Guidance
In this section, the script introduces the Woman in White, who appears to represent logic and guidance for Mary. The Woman in White communicates silently, advising Mary that she needs help and should leave the house. This character's presence in the garden, Mary's only peaceful space, suggests that she is a positive figment of Mary's mind, possibly created through the support of the audience. The Woman in White's role is expected to grow in importance as the series progresses, potentially helping Mary combat her inner demons.
đ Mary's Connection with the Audience
The final paragraph highlights Mary's growing connection with the audience, who provide her with feedback and advice through social media platforms. This interaction is portrayed as a source of reassurance and a guiding light for Mary amidst her struggles. The audience's comments, likes, and posts are seen as helping Mary in her journey to overcome her fears and anxieties. The script also mentions Mary's blog, Tumblr, and Twitter accounts, where the audience can further engage with her, suggesting an ongoing narrative that will continue to unfold.

Transcripts
so
[Music]
back in october i included a channel by
the name of hi i'm mary mary in my
halloween special
back at that point in time the series
was still getting itself off the ground
and so i left you with an open-ended
take in order to drive some traffic over
there since it's been so well done
the series has very much evolved since
then and a lot has played out leaving me
with some theories that i'd like to
share with you regarding what this
actually is
tonight we're going to touch on the
major questions surrounding this channel
what exactly is happening in each video
who is each character and what is the
significance of all of this
i hope you're ready because it's time to
dive into high
i'm mary mary
for ease of clarity i'd like to give a
preliminary introduction to the major
characters and locations that we'll be
referencing back to
throughout this video aside from mary
we'll be referencing characters that are
titled shadow mary the shadow man
the darkness
maria and the woman in white
major locations that i'll be referencing
are the house
and the garden
the first four videos that we'll be
touching on will focus on character
introduction and world building so be on
the lookout for all of these
[Music]
the first video in the series is titled
hello
in this we're basically set up with the
story that mary is living alone and what
she dubs is a copy of her parents house
she claims that she's unable to leave
and has no capability of interaction
with the outside world
she's
strangely alone on the internet and
fully believes that she's presenting
these videos to nobody at all
she's quite bored and drums up various
mundane activities to keep herself
occupied
before the video's conclusion though
things begin to take a dark turn when
she claims that things are
different
at night
[Music]
that ending is when we're introduced to
our first major antagonist
shadow mary we'll be seeing her quite
often throughout this series
[Music]
[Laughter]
the second video is titled dislikeness
and the description reads
what is so funny
is it my face
in this mary informs us that the house
strangely restocks itself with food so
she won't go hungry
also she won't smell and the lights only
work at night
sometimes
midway through the video we're
introduced to our second major
antagonist
maria
maria seems to endlessly laugh at mary
tossing her in the mirror with a sort of
perfect mask that she will wear
throughout the entirety of this series
it's evident that it gets to mary since
right after we see maria mary resorts to
cutting the head off of one of her
photos
maria also seems to be plaguing mary's
mind and this is shown when she's trying
desperately to sleep but is unable to do
so due to the endless laughter that
fills her ears
the video then closes with the phrase
i want to break all of the mirrors
in good night we follow mary through
some mundane activities as she tries to
desperately keep herself occupied
it's evident that the house is beginning
to get to her since she claims that
she's exhausted
the description of this video reads
paralyzed with fear i looked into its
face and i felt empty
cold and numb
i felt dead
i'm so tired
there's no sense in being positive
we'll touch on what she means by this in
a second for now i want to show you this
scene where mary seems to be
crafting
it seems that she's making a collage of
multiple people that also bear her name
but not herself
this will tie into a major theory that
we'll dive into later
at the end mary appears to be attempting
to rest however is interrupted by our
first encounter with the shadow man
uh
he seems to be someone that looms over
mary but strangely doesn't lunge into
and harm her
we'll be seeing him quite a bit
throughout this as well
[Music]
in this one we're greeted with mary
hypothesizing that the lights will help
at night
she's seen traversing around the house
in order to make sure that every light
is on
when she gets to the last room though
she's greeted by the shadow man who
freaks her out
right after this though she claims that
the light actually does not help at
night and that the haunts in her house
will carry out their torment no matter
what
the end of this video gets quite
interesting as well things begin to move
on their own and mary begins to freak
out repeatedly claiming
no not again
oh god
no no no no no no no not again not again
huh
this is our first introduction to the
darkness
it seems at the end to overtake her
completely before she blacks out
ending the video
[Music]
and worse we join mary as she explores
her house in total darkness she claims
that everything just got so much worse
and the reason for this will be touched
on momentarily
mary then encounters shadow mary whom
promptly begins to chase her
when she finally stops banging on the
door mary opens it up and begins quietly
looking around
once the light pans over shadow mary
once more she lunges at the camera
before the video cuts to daylight and
ends
this is significant at this point in the
series since this is the first instance
of the day night cycle being disturbed
since the house is so vastly different
during the day versus at night this
natural interruption eventually seems to
take a toll on mary later on in the
series
nope
nope not again
in this one we see mary lounging around
the house again this time she's making a
map with notes on where and where not to
go at night time
she claims that she's slowly gaining
confidence to talk to
us however she quickly shrugs that off
as nonsense then she has no contact with
anyone in the outside world at all
another notable thing that we see her do
is what's called her hourly check
she will periodically check the doors
and windows to see if they're still
locked in sort of a desperate attempt to
check if she can finally escape
unfortunately that isn't the case since
any time she does they're always locked
we then begin to periodically see shots
of mary doing makeup
this is highly significant for one of
the theories that we'll be touching on
later as well
particularly the end scene that just
might tell you everything that there is
to know about this episode
uh
dammit
it seems that maria is getting to marry
pretty badly and the end bit shows that
mary is unfortunately in denial since
she claims that
i'm doing well
when she clearly is not
in sleepwalker not much happens that
hasn't happened already
we see mary messing around with the
shadow man almost in a playful way
she talks to him before they begin
running around the house
the ending takes an interesting turn
though when mary is on her laptop after
taking a rest
he begins to loom over her before
finally lunging into her for the first
time
before the video ends
[Music]
in discovery we greet mary as she's
hiding from shadow mary at night
we see her very eerily walk downstairs
before we go down with her
once we're down there we seem to gather
a second look at the shadow mary chase
from earlier
in this she finds her downstairs in the
laundry room
shadow mary begins telling mary that
she's worthless trying to get to her
before initiating a chase sending mary
sprinting upstairs and into a closet
door that thrusts her into an underwater
area
this
is when we discover
the garden
[Music]
this episode is slower than the others
for good reason
the majority of the video shows mary
relaxing in an outdoor setting
the captions through the video tell a
narrative explaining how quiet it is and
that she could stare there for hours
this is the garden and this represents
the only area of solas that mary is able
to have as she endures the hell that
looms back in the house
everything seems to be going well until
the very end when mary seems to be
thrust out of the garden and back into
the house
almost as if
she woke up
[Music]
wait what
in this one we open with mary being
taunted by the demons through the phone
ringing multiple times and someone
banging on the door
mary believes that she finally has
actual guests however there's little
that she can do since she can't actually
answer the door at all
after this the camera seems to jump all
over the house resulting in a cat and
mouse-like game between it and mary
a notable point in this video is later
on when we encounter maria once more
she does something that's a little
interesting
uh
maria is demon-like beneath her perfect
mask and this tells a lot about her
character
she's perfect on the surface
she's the best version of mary that mary
could be
however when you peel back that surface
layer
things aren't quite as they seemed
[Music]
you
in this mary plays a game of hide and
seek with shadow mary
during this though she allows mary to
ask questions and so she does
shadow mary seems to be throwing out
dialogue clamoring about how worthless
mary is and how she deserves to be
locked up in this home
she even goes forth to tell her that
she's repulsive and a stupid
[Music]
just don't get it
you made us
hmm
interesting
[Music]
i'll never care about you
the major point that i want to touch on
in this video is the very end throughout
the entire video mary's poking around
the garden and it's also shown that
shadow mary is unable to enter
when the video draws to a close though
we see our first sighting of the woman
in white
we'll be seeing her again
very shortly
[Music]
in this last upload we see mary
interacting with us on her laptop
it's almost as if it's an entirely new
world for her since she finally has
access to seeing everyone in the outside
world
during this though
shadow mary enters the frame and begins
telling her how we don't care about her
mary then tells us that we make this
more manageable implying that we
are actually helping her
later in the video mary claims
i saw her again
the woman in white and proceeds to the
garden to encounter her
[Music]
who are you
are you going to talk to me
hello
oh that's creepy
oh my god i i can't lip read i'm sorry
[Music]
uh
what are you saying
oh god
nope okay okay nope nope i'm leaving
nope this is my place this is my place
you're not taking that away from me
while we can't hear her the woman in
white appears to be saying
mary you need to get out of there
mary you're not okay
you need help
mary can you hear me
you are not safe
mary
mary
strangely this mystery woman in white
has arrived around the same time that
mary discovered us
with her silent dialogue it's almost as
if we bear a loose connection with her
within mary's mind
[Music]
after this mary has a run-in with a
shadow man and a sinister maria that
causes her to pass out
and there we have it
up to this point in writing that's where
the series draws to a halt
at this point you may be asking yourself
what this all means
while my take isn't definitive these are
my personal interpretations of all the
characters and locations that were
presented to us
[Music]
if you haven't made the connection by
now the house
to me
seems to represent mary's mind in its
entirety
the series opens up with her in what she
calls a copy of her parents house thus
leaving us to theorize that this is a
copy of reality
in her own mind
she's unable to leave this and i believe
that this represents the idea that her
mind is a sort of prison for her leaving
her tormented by the many haunts that
plague it
i want to touch on the day and night
cycles as well we previously established
that the natural cycle of days and
nights can be easily disrupted depending
on the situation that mary's enduring at
the time
and i believe that given their vast
differences
daytime in the house represents mental
solace in real life
she's able to be herself
poke around the house and think clearly
at night however things begin to take a
dark turn and it seems that these are
actual episodes of mental breakdowns or
an overwhelming sense of whatever
emotion she's feeling at the time
whether it be fear anxiety depression or
humiliation
early on in the series mary makes a
claim that i believe supports this
saying that the days are getting shorter
this has led me to believe that her time
of mental solace is becoming
increasingly disrupted as these intense
fears and emotions overtake her
[Music]
the garden is an interesting one
i believe that it's a dreamlike area of
soulless for her when inside she's
finally able to get away from the
torment of the house
her emotions fears and demons are all
put to rest as she sleeps and she can
enjoy her limited time there before
she's woken up and jolted back to
consciousness
[Music]
shadow mary is a prominent figure in the
series
she's the first one that we're
introduced to and she carries a major
role throughout the entire thing
i believe that shadow mary given the
name represents the dark side of mary
psyche
all throughout each upload we can see
shadow mary tormenting and instilling
her with fear
this becomes prominent when she starts
to directly talk to mary telling her
that she's worthless and that mary
created them
shadow mary seems to represent a form of
anxiety driven by direct fear since we
never truly know when we'll encounter
her
the shadow man seems to always be there
when mary's already asleep or uneasy
he seems to thrive off her and finds
great satisfaction through simply
enveloping her with dread
particularly through the sleeping scenes
of the earlier episodes the shadow man
seems to represent anxiety in its
entirety any time that mary's in a state
of helplessness like sleep he seems to
make an appearance to mess with her and
any time that he lunges or attacks her
she passes out almost as if she becomes
overwhelmed through an anxiety attack
[Music]
maria is everywhere and her presence is
given away through her sinister laugh
that can be heard throughout the uploads
she seems to always be wearing a perfect
mask and is always dressed up in a way
to taunt mary
mirrors are a direct way for anybody to
see themselves
generally there are self-imperfections
that might be evident to you
however
others may not notice at all
when mary looks in the mirror she sees
herself however she bears a massive
weight of self-consciousness and
humiliation when looking in the mirror
or at her photos
maria seems to leverage that humility
and rubs it in her face in any way that
she can
[Music]
maria represents the perfect mary
instilling her with a feeling of
worthlessness while
on the surface
being free of any cosmetic imperfections
[Music]
the darkness seems to arrive at
unexpected times and i believe that this
is a combination of all of the big three
the shadow man maria and shadow mary
any time that the darkness consumes her
she passes out unable to take it any
longer
this could be a full representation of
the plague that fills the house
the same house that we've determined
to represent mary's mind
[Music]
the audience is an escape in the later
episodes it becomes evident that mary
can finally see all of us and uses that
to her advantage for feedback and advice
on what to do
we could all be her coping mechanism
giving her the reassurance that she
needs to overcome her inner demons
shadow mary hates it and constantly
yells that we're liars and that we're
simply watching her for entertainment
without viewer interaction mary would
likely feel completely alone and unable
to overcome this
we're helping her and each comment like
tweet and post helps her along as a
guiding light through this darkness
[Music]
i believe that the woman in white
represents logic in mary's right mind
she's only present in the garden
her only area of solace and as we
established in the later episodes she
tells mary that she needs help and to
get out of the house
with this she now has an n-series
guiding light to help her through her
troubles and strangely since she's such
a new character she could have been
created through the support and guidance
that the audience has given her
we've given mary help and in turn her
stability and self-confidence are
growing allowing her to finally create a
positive figment within her own mind
in hopes of fighting back
[Music]
mary also has a blog a tumblr and a
twitter account
in those the audience is able to
heighten their presence with mary as she
posts questions and extras pulling us on
what she should do next or giving us
encrypted clues on her next move
and with all of that
we're left with now
the series seems to very much be ongoing
and i believe that the purpose of the
woman in white will blossom in future
uploads
whether mary becomes enveloped in the
darkness or gains the ability to fight
back at her demons will hopefully be
determined in the near future but for
now
this is where i'll draw this to a close
