NO WAY

WILSON REWORK ON MY BIRTHDAY??? OH MY GOSH THIS IS BEAUTIFUL

[apotelesmaa]

This thing has me in fucking tears he looks so miserable and tired. The constant has turned Wilson into a marketable plushie.

[the-valiant-valkyrie]

How tall do you think Wigfried is, personally I think the gal is 5’2” (157 cm) or puntable size

literally this. literally 5'2. did you SEE her in curtain calls? she was the size of a little beetle, or mayhaps an ant.

honestly one of the reasons i really like the way it harps on the contrast between what she wants to be and what she is. i do think there's something that would be lost if she looked exactly like what you would imagine a large warrior who would rock your shit looks like. but instead its the 'unassuming small thing that will hand your ass back to you' trope, except like. actually good and doesn't make me wanna throw up

but also- something i don't see as a small person trope (a niche that i didnt even KNOW i needed) is just how much of an absolute tank wigfrid is. and i think that says more about her if she was small the way she is. this little fucking... thing that won't- no matter how lethally you wound her- stay down. it's not because of raw size- or even raw strength that keeps her fighting until you snuff her out- but sheer force of will. that's fucking scary. and epic also 🤓

This got me thinking about the “door” and... Just gonna hijack your post for a bit. You’ll get it back, I promise. ^^”

Since the Forbidden Knowledge cinematic came first, long before all the other animated shorts, people just never questioned the way Wilson was dragged in. But you bring some excellent points here! And now that those other videos exist, it’s obvious that none of the others had to build a door of any kind, no matter when they were pulled in (even long before Wilson was taken, although you could argue that the shadows can ignore time or something). The shadow hands or Maxwell’s shadow puppets could just appear through the floor (or from pieces of paper) and take them the same way Maxwell himself was taken.

Now, as you mentioned, the only other “door” that exists on this side would be the portal that Wagstaff built and we see no connection between that and Maxwell. Max might not even know it exists or how WX and Winona ended up in the Constant...

So what’s up with Wilson having to build a door?

I guess it’s either an entrance like it’s implied to be, or it’s intended as an exit and both us and Wilson are being misled by the implications - which would be typical Klei.

If it’s an exit, that would mean that Maxwell was attempting to build a way out behind Their backs. But as he was still on the Nightmare Throne and They had access to his mind, he’d have to be very sneaky about it (I believe he’s currently doing something similar with Charlie / Them) and go at it with the full intent to drag in another victim to be Their plaything while also reaching his own goal - building the door. So the door became the “bait” and Wilson ended up dragged in as the unfortunate collateral for the exit to be built without Them becoming suspicious. The door was activated, but it served no purpose as an actual entrance and the shadow hands pulled Wilson down through the floor as we’ve seen them do to many other characters.

If it is indeed an entrance though, that also makes Wilson special. Again, no one else needed a gateway to be built. If They wanted someone to the Constant, They took them. So that might imply that Maxwell himself chose Wilson, and since he was “off the list” Max needed to be more creative to get the scientist to the Constant. In that case there must be a very good reason why Maxwell needed Wilson there...

In any case, I really like your headcanons, and seeing how the story is moving forward, I’m positive that Klei has some kind of ending planned - eventually. I would certainly love to see these people return home and get a chance to finally rest and recover from their nightmarish experiences. I’m sure none of their lives can quite “return back to normal” after all that, but at least they have each other as people that share the trauma and understand what the others are going through. Slowly relearning life at home with the support of the other Survivors would be quite the nice ending if you ask me - similar to what you described in the first scenario. And even if they do end up separated, that doesn’t mean they can’t find each other again in this world. ^^

Related to this, I’d like to point out how the intro of the Inevitable musical shows us Maxwell seemingly back at home, surrounded by all those familiar portraits and posters of himself and Charlie (although damaged, so clearly this is after the earthquake), but also trophies that were clearly brought from the Constant; a taxidermy spider, the heads of a Deerclops and a pigman, a Tallbird egg, and even Chester. I’d like to think that this is canon and Maxwell gets to go home - hopefully with everyone else, and his eternity on the Throne and in the Constant become a tale to be shared with whoever might listen.

And with that long addition to your long (but not too long) post, I’m done. I apologize for hijacking it and you can now have it back. Thanks for sharing your art and headcanons / theories, as always! I really like the way you think! ^^

What do you think will happen when all the survivors return home? And Wilson and Webber what will happen to them?

There are many possibilities but I have 2 in mind

LOOOOONG POST

Scenario Number 1

They escape and are transported to Wilson's house since there's the door he built The idea of going separate ways after an eternity working together is. . . Odd and most of them are just not normal anymore, so they build around the area and create a community only for them. Not like Wilson lives near enough society for anyone to notice the weirdos living outside

Wendy goes back with her father tho and they visit every time they can, maybe even move closer. After all, they're all family

(Don't pay attention to the perspective, don't pay attention to the proportions. Just DON'T pay too much attention to the picture, ok? I like how they're all looking at the door like "so that's THE DOOR" Yeah they've probably seen Maxwell's door before but this is THE DOOR, yk?. Also, only 2)? of them were captured through one of those so it must be interesting to look at)

(I say only 2 of them (WX and Winona through Wagstaff's door/portal) because, even tho Wilson build the Door, he was captured through the ground, not the door, like, why even build it? Was it needed to begin with? Is it that there needs to be an active "door" for Maxwell (or Them) to capture people?)

Scenario Number 2 Or "bad ending", if you will

They all go back to the places they were sucked in (Or the nearest place possible since, you know. . . Wicker's library and the Voxola factory. . . )

Wilson is back home, finally free from the place he was tricked more than once, from having to fight for your life every second, from Them who trapped him for who knows how long he's finally free. . . and alone

He lost the family he gained, he choose and loved. Constantly thinking in the poor Monster child. . . HIS child

Weeell that was long enough hahsashaha Hope you enjoyed all that broken english and nonsensical ideas!

For the record, this isn't the first time I've drawn ALL the characters (All the not-DLC Characters (It is my first time drawing Wanda)) Wurt, Wortox and Woodworm are not there cuz they belong to the Constant.

Abigail? Always by Wendy's side <3

Charlie? Consumed by the shadows/Them?

Wagstaff? Somewhere else as always

Wallani, Warbucks etc. ? I don't know, they're not part of DST so. . . I don't care lmao!!

The Codex Umbra? Maxwell has it. . . ~🍪

More Don’t Starve~

Had a run of finishing up some old Photoshop art which includes some Don’t Starve stuff—look when I say I had a run I had a run.

Anywho, always a fan of Webber being Wilson’s assistant when he does SCIENCE!  Also yes volume is key when it comes to science, it’s an observable fact according to one Wilson Percival Higgsbury.  Mostly because yes it annoys Maxwell. XD

Find it on eclipse here, as always please be kind and reblog, not repost, thank you! :D

[aretmaw]

Happy 10 years to Don't Starve! I have so much to thank this game for as a starting point for my art, and I've met so many wonderful people through it!

This is my take on a classic piece of official art, one of my favourites that I never got to draw.

Thank you to the team at Klei for all the love you've put into this game, here's to another 10 years! ^v^

[zombiedcattle-art]

happy 10 years since the official release of don’t starve everybody!!!

this game has meant so much to me over the years, and has been (and still is) a huge artistic inspiration, so it’s been amazing to see how it has evolved (i’ve been around since the release reign of giants in 2014, how about yall?) this is my token of appreciation—it’s admirable that even after a decade, there is still more to see!

klei, thank you for all youve done so far, and i cant wait to see what you do in the future! you guys are awesome! :D
