The infodump on the ‘Wilson is Webber’s biological father’ theory/headcanon

First off, some quotes from Wilson.

Protective, fatherly qualities, bonus for the paternal scolding and praising of Wendy and Webber in DST.

Now, what sorts of things might one man say if their son was presumed dead, dragged off to the Constant without a body to bury at a funeral?

Huh.

Wilson has a grave on his property.

Now, what sort of things might a child say about their father being a reclusive, bearded, gentlemanly scientist?

Hm.

What about how they behave? Any similarity there?

Do you think you’d be able to easily tell who is who without help?

Anything else?

Hm.

Wilson and Webber are also the only two characters who can grow beards, and are the only two explicitly stated to have been outright tricked by Maxwell in order to come to the Constant.

And, well, if you look at the situation with Wendy, Abigail, and Maxwell, Klei has never officially confirmed that connection, either.

I know Klei will probably end up denying this, and on that day I will Die, but–

Wilson had a son named Webster before the Constant, and you will not convince me to the contrary until Klei breaks into my house and throws me out the attic window

Sződliget

This small waterside Hungarian settlement is often called “Witch Village” due to its eerie atmosphere. Most nights its surrounded by fog and the village only has a handful of inhabitants.

Amateur Cryptozoologist

Cryptozoology is a pseudoscience and subculture that aims to prove the existence of entities from the folklore record, such as Bigfoot, the chupacabra, or Mokele-mbembe. Cryptozoologists refer to these entities as cryptids, a term coined by the subculture.

How about horror dark academia?

So it’s like dark academia and chaotic academia mixed with some trashy horror

Staying up late reading your favorite horror novel by candle light

Writing in red ink that looks a little bit to much like blood

Taking walks in a forest under a full moon as the spirits whisper warnings while you pass

Driving down a eeire stretch of road just searching for a cryptid to make friends with

Watching horror movies late into the night with friend and then sneaking out to make some trouble of your own

Jumping at the shadows passing in the corner until you realize it’s only the ghost who has been living with you

Learning a dead language to have a conversation with things in the unknown

Adventuring to that run down house or castle on a warm summer night because it’s too loud to focus anywhere else

Roaming the local cemetery in the mist

Making friends with the crows

Cryptid academia:

Carefully cutting out and sticking newspaper clippings into scrapbooks.

Pinning up photographs and articles to a wall, connecting them with red strings.

Late-night walks in the woods with a pair of binoculars and a film camera, because you just might find something.

Piles of newspapers and magazines sprouting up in every corner, with the pages for paranormal sightings dog-eared.

Seemingly random books on aerospace engineering, radioactivity, and obscure psychological disorders open on the coffee table.

Writing articles about alien sightings for the school newspaper.

Always being the first to find out about strange local occurrences.

A phone book stuffed with loose papers, and a notepad covered in scribbles and diagrams open next to the phone book.

Impromptu camping trips to nonsensical places (like the middle of a field, then next to a lake, then by a roadside).

Pamphlets and membership badges for the Loch Ness Monster Trust or the Mothman Convention scattered everywhere.

Digging up old medieval texts about ghouls and demons to try and make connections.

Setting up wildlife cameras and watching back hours of footage of hedgehogs, trying to see if anything unusual crops up.

"Buzzfeed Unsolved is my bible."

[working-class-dark-academic]

might i suggest: athletic academia

because i need some rep for the people

who cram beat-up dog-eared copies of ‘the catcher in the rye’ in their gym bags (between their sneakers and water bottles) on the way to a cross country meet

who grind all day at school and all night at practice

who page through ~aesthetic notes~ over a bowl of overnight oats at five in the morning

who page through ‘the iliad’ while icing their injuries

with tired bones, sore muscles, endless adrenaline

dressing in adidas joggers and school-merch hoodies, quoting oscar wilde on their bright yellow school bus

dressing in beat-up bright clothes—not professional, always ready to change into workout dri-fit, their second skin

who cherish ancient greece for the olympic games, for they, too, are herculean

who read on the treadmill

who don’t know “cozy” or “cutesy”, but live by “work hard, play hard”

who could sing whole epics about the high of victory

without a single perfectly maintained book; all of their books have bent pages and broken spines from travel

who have a lucky poem they read before games

whose notes are sloppy from being written on a bus to a meet

who give book recommendations to their teammates during cooldown

who see the early morning sunrises, and later tries to paint them

who seek the gothic horror, the poe, the six of crows, the hunger games—chasing adrenaline

studying the human body and how to constantly improve it

who smell of sweat and gatorade, and sound of heaving chests and hozier’s “sunlight”

with letterman’s jackets draped over library chairs

tearing through sophocles before your event starts

putting off certain books “until the off season”

different from soft academics, classic academics, flowery cottagecore—these are the sneaker-meet-pavement, gatorade-drinking, bread-getting student athletes who are all hard lines, scraped knees, and thick muscles.

like me

make this the new aesthetic, cowards! because i can’t wear a jersey to teatime or joggers to uni. i demand the bright-colored, messy-haired, sweaty-skinned, sneaker-busting, scrappy, determined, daring athletic academia aesthetic be made real.

[working-class-dark-academic]

types of academics: tag yourself

nocturnal: messy notes, never sleeps, wakes up after noon, sarcastic, coffee addiction, turns everything in late, sweats, netflix, needs a lot of naps, deep cleans their room maybe once every 2 months, messy buns, says they’ll be productive but never is until it’s past 2 am

“perfect”: balances work, social life, and health, never sleeps past midnight, aces everything, pretty notes, coffeeshops and libraries, cardigans, makes their bed every morning, mom friend, skincare routine, organized playlists, neat handwriting, autumn, coffee with cream and sugar

extroverted: loud but beautiful laugh, twirly handwriting, polaroids, colorful pens, skirts, wants to/does dye their hair, goes to parties but leaves early, summer, travels a lot, teacher’s pet, throws sleepover study nights, paints nails while reading for homework, leather jackets

chaotic: amazing music taste, probably good with technology, doesn’t bond with professors, has few close friends but lots of acquaintances, parties a lot, never focused (but when they are they’re really productive), really bad at reading people, cram sessions, bad sleep schedule

independent: has only one friend per class, gets everything done on time, prefers office hours over asking questions in class, rain, print-out lecture notes, one yellow highlighter, beautiful smile, the color green, painter, likes studying outside, sensitive to high-energy people, striped sweaters

my DArling pt. 2

she’s folding tiny butterflies. one for each day in quarantine. she is going to let them loose, placing one in each of the places she wanted to go during this time.  god, how i adore her.  for me it’s late night cigarettes, reading camus, chewing my way through advanced biology, all the while thinking about her. always about her.
