Is it important to have my signature on my pfp? Honestly I don't care, I parodied a meme

This was inevitable

Digital work causing my fits, because yes it looks nice and can get really detailed... But I need to sit around for THREE HOURS drawing something simple I could have doddled on paper in fifteen minutes

I too am perilously close to betting the house on Alan having some of the (a??) Dark Presence--or at least some part of the Dark Place itself--in him, OP!!

And I agree (I think?) that "oh yeah it was all just kinda his fault even though all this shit started 7 years before he was even born" seems boring, trite and, honestly, unfair.

And Alan's indeed suspiciously unknown dad? Well guess who else never knew their father and who did that turn out to be again? 🤔 Nothing to do with Alan though, surely.

why is it an important point that alan is very light sensitive and prone to migranes? other than being a disability rep for those of us who cannot function in broad daylight without sunglasses and explaining why the bright lights in aw1 are such a pain to look at (from alan's point of view) but like. it's important.

we see it in the flashback with alice where alan is hangover and seemingly has his sunglasses next to his bed already - a little weird right? and alice mentions them as well - because this is common. because he often needs them. frankly speaking from experience you don't get to the point where the sunglasses become a mandatory bedside fixture unless it's a really bad day often - which must be the case here. we also see then in 'herald of darkness' where "Dark shades could never save the day" and we see alan in shades. it's common for him. he does it often. mood! anyway mr champion of light being sensitive to light is just a funny coincidence right? wrong.

I also suspect that alan's tendency towards full outfits is also a part of this. no sane human wears that many layers in september, and alan specifically covers pretty much all the skin possible without looking weird.  also a lot of his article shots in rose'.... shrine have sunglasses and thick layers as well. this man is SENSITIVE sensitive to light and that's a coincidence I can't ignore in the remedy!verse.

alan was born (as stated in aw2) in 1977 - we don't know when, or where as he moved to new york later. his mother spent most of his childhood in psychiatric facilities, and his father is not only non existent but highly suspiously fictional (the only object we are told alan has of him is the clicker. the fucking clicker. tom zane's clicker that was definitely written into alan's life before he was born and was not a gift from his father proper. frankly we know the least about alan's childhood compared to all other remedy!verse protags - not knowing where or truly when he was born is important because it leaves options.

Light sensitive could be a coincidence - but we thought that about the nightmares too, and they turned out to be important clues. and hell-  *Scratch* is less sensitive to light than Alan is - only flashbangs and the super steong hand flares make him flinch, direct light seems fine unless super powered and normal flares are nothing. alan actively gets headaches from these things and obviously it hurts him. wtf is up with that? when the protection of the dark presence patches up your weakness you have a issue.

theory time:

we know alan is tied to this god damn lake. zane wrote it so - at very least alan was destined to fall in it at the end of aw1. but what if there is more? we also know that alan's darkness became at least the aw2 dark presence which. fine? an endless cycle of destroying yourself while under the impression that that's not yourself. we don't know if the dark presence in aw1 is also this same one, and if it isn't we now know there can be multiple dark entites (implied by Mr Scratch also). if it is then damn alan has issues.

I don't know if its just me but the fact that the small darkness within someone can be escalated out to being the whole larger dark presence at full power feels... off. that feels like it doesn't work with what we know of the entities- unless there was more darkness in alan then originally suspected fueling this presence. the strength of the dark presence born from him combined with the strength of his light sensitivity makes me very suspicious to how human he was originally, and how much of alan is just lake bullshit. if he was a creature or creation of the darkness forced into a human body (perhaps the 1976 awe the andersons fought back in brightfalls wasn't all it seemed. maybe the dark presence or something else was looking for a crack to escape through. maybe it succeeded, but was reborn as a human who was already showing signs at a young age of being light sensitive and also being a parautiltiarian, and a strong one at that.

maybe there was never a father because there was never a mother - linda wake may have found a child on the lake shore and adopted it as her own, not knowing the truth behind its origins. maybe the torchbearers who operated in brightfalls around that time were involved. maybe the reason alan and tom look identical is the dark entity needed human dna when being reborn as a human and zane was there at the right time. could be why other traits are shared, and zane foresaw and influenced the creation of the dark place to get what he wanted (after all it was borrowing from him his face and personality - at very least it could give him wiggle room to escape?)

alan always had... issues. darkness. a lot for a man. so what if its all supernatural bullshit? no one is looking too closely because there is supernatural stuff going on. I'm not sure this man is human, or at least his soul isn't and never was. some darkness wearing a human skin maybe, sensitive to the light but forced to manage it. I don't know, maybe I'm looking too much into this.

Add to that the Maddona-whore complex and you've got it, someone's losing their mind, Dean, Sam, us?

dean's madonna whore complex is very special to me because if you consider it real, you'd need to dig into his relationship with his mother

the first proponent of this theory was Freud, who called it Psychic Impotence (lol) Basically that men cannot feel arousal around women they love and cannot love women they want to fuck. And Freud being Freud linked this directly to the Oedipus complex. To summarise, unresolved tension of this incestuous affection one feels for their parent can create a divide between how you view women as sacred and women as desirable. Normally children resolve this tension by developing to the next psychosexual stage.

Important to mention that Oedipus Complex occurs at ages 3-6

If you consider this theory, think about exactly how catastrophically unresolved it would be for Dean who lost his mother at 4 and did not have any other available woman to take her role but Sammy. Sammy who looks in awe of every stupid thing he does just like mom did, Sammy who gets mad at him for getting hurt while patching him up just like mom did, Sammy who prays and believes in angels, just like mom did

Sam as the mother equivalent in so she is pure and untouched and someone who is in the family, therefore capable of soft touches and unconditional love. On the other is Sam as this woman he does not recognise.

Would be sooo insane if he can only get it up for her when she feels so Other to him, so monstrous that he wants to break her bones for it
