About

Tiny Box Tim is the name of a fictional companion discovered by YouTube Let's Player celebrity Markiplier from his playthrough of a custom Amnesia story A Late Night Drink. Similar to PewDiePie and his companion Stephano, who is a small statue from Amnesia, Tiny Box Tim is a cute tiny wooden crate.

Origin

In January 19, 2014, Markiplier posted a video of the first part of his playthrough A Late Night Drink, a custom story from Amnesia: The Dark Descent. While Markiplier is looking for a key (4:16), he found a tiny wooden crate near him and finds it adorable. Markiplier names it Tiny Box Tim, and so the fandom of Tiny Box Tim is born.

While this is the official origin of Tim, Mark and fans have forged their own story for him. In the indie horror game The Plague, Mark claims that the Timothy in that game is who Tim was before his death. After his murder, Timothy possessed the box. It is due to this violent act that Tim is primarily a protector. There is even a fan game that explains Tim's origins.

Spread

Tiny Box Tim was originally a one-off joke character in A Late Night Drink. However, due to fan reception of the character he has been an integral part of Markiplier's life since. From LixianTV's animation, Tim's popularity soared. Since then, Tim has appeared in other Amnesia custom stories as an actual character, as well as appearances in various fan games like My Name is Mark, Dream.EXE, and With The Addition of Markiplier series. Tim has taken on various roles whether it be antagonist or more commonly support. Tim is also included in the Don't Starve Markiplier mod as a companion and starting chest. During the ALS Charity Livestream back in August 2014, Tiny Box Tim plushies were sold and all the proceeds went to the charity. Mark has also stated that there is not a single Tiny Box Tim, but rather that he is multiple entities. In PewDiePie: Legend of the Brofist, Tiny Box Tim is Markiplier's companion when you have enough bro coins to unlock Markiplier as a playable character.
