THE MOONBOUND SKINS IN DST GAVE MY DUMB ASS AN IDEA
So I looked at the new Moonbound skins and came up with an idea
Buckle in yall
So, I found the descriptions/quotes of the Moonbound skins to be...quite off. Suddenly, our cast of grim characters has become oddly optimistic about their situation.
We know about the Lunar Islands and its special feature - enlightenment. Which is basically like hypnotism.
You know where this is going.
So, let’s say that the survivors decided to return to the Lunar Islands. Maybe WX78 insisted that they go and harness the moon energy (for themself). Maybe Wormwood felt the Moon trying to make him come back. Maybe everyone was just curious. Those who didn’t go stayed behind and watched the base. They didn’t know that they weren’t going to see their fellow survivors again for a very, very long time.
Almost everyone ends up getting “brainwashed” while on the moon. All of a sudden, they don’t want to leave. Staying in the Constant forever, never seeing their loved ones again is...not really a problem anymore. And the survivors who weren’t brainwashed are, for the most part, fine with staying in the Lunar Islands. There’s something back at their old home, though, that might have been important before, but they don’t remember... oh, well. Life on the moon is much better than whatever they left behind.
For the first time, Wormwood feels like he belongs here. He isn't an outcast anymore - in fact, he’s quite popular. And all of his friends, new and old, must be so, so happy on the moon.
WX78 has never been better. They’ve gotten EXACTLY what they’ve wanted. Forget about the fleshlings - yeah, they’ve been acting weird lately, but they’ve served their purpose well enough. The moon’s power, on the other hand - THAT is what is important. None of the survivors have seen WX for...um...how long has it been? But they’re sure that the automaton’s doing well.
Webber’s change was solely physical. It was gradual - very slow at first, barely noticeable. The spider kept complaining about how hard it was to see, that it was too bright, that it burned his eyes. Webber tried to tell everyone that he was getting uncomfortable and that they should leave. No one paid any mind.
Wendy went to the moon with the intention of bringing Abigail back. And of course, it didn't work. Wendy’s absolute refusal to let go of her sister’s memory prevented the Moon from messing with her mind. And there were times where she almost let go, but just the THOUGHT of allowing such a thing to happen terrifies her.
And, of course, everyone who didn’t go to the Lunar Islands remains unchanged. But they’re beginning to get very worried. The moon group DID say that the journey would take a while, but they haven’t returned in almost a year. Where are they? Where did they REALLY go...?
Well, all of them are living happily together on the Moon. And they aren’t coming back.
Remember what you used to be like? Remember those old days, back when you were small, scared, paranoid of the beautiful world around you? You can recall how badly you wanted to leave. But now, you know better - so much better. This island is so, so much better.
Find a way out. Go home. Escape. Leave this hellish place.
Hellish? No, this is heaven. This is paradise.
This is home.

id: a fullbody digital drawing of wx 78 from don’t starve. they’re facing the viewer, posing with one leg bent back and raised up. with one hand they’re lifting up their skirt a little by the hem and their other hand is just hanging at their side. one of their eyes is closed. they’re wearing the moonbound headskin, a white button down with a black bow, a white suit of sorts with puffy sleeves, white gloves, a white skirt and black boots. the background shows a sort of wave behind wx that’s drawn using light blues. there are also a few pink stars behind them and the rest of the background is black. end id

WEEEEEEEE okay long story-
I was in a dst forge match with a few friends, and one of them had the brilliant idea to turn on friendly fire and basically turned this into a battle amongst each other as we kept hitting one another on accident
We kinda had an unspoken agreement on who was on which team (at least I think?) as some of us wouldn’t hit certain players
For others though, we tried slaughtering them mwahaha
Anyway here were the teams (I was the triumphant Wilson ofc)
Aaand here were what the players looked like
Oki byeee
