Y'know, knowing The Collector's coming back to Darkest Dungeon 2, I just had a weird thought, so like, insane theory inbound:
And The Collector's whole Thing is like, summoning severed heads to take on spectral bodies and fight for him, right? Typically a spectral reproduction of the deceased's old body
Now, in DD1, I feel like it's kinda hinted that Alhazred might have had his eldritch power directly connected to the Heart of Darkness, meaning he could be, presumably, capable of using the power of an eldritch entity against itself
And, when he channels this power, he uses a head (or, a skull) with a candle on it to do so
Tumblr media
Now. I'm just saying
That's a head, with a candle on it.
Which is, y'know

Something we've seen before.
Plus we know Dismas has Rey's helmet in his posession canonically, and that the devs have hinted Rey to be like, kinda probably dead maybe?
So like, 👀, y'know?
Idk if this is anything but I do think the thought of some sorta haunted armor Reynauld would be really neat

Thinking about how Darkest Dungeon: Crimson Court and Bloodborne build on the same inciting incident, except Laurence and the Healing Church started distributing the blood of an ancient otherworldly monster among the populace for its healing powers and to ultimately transcend humanity and transform their mortal bodies.
While the Ancestor had no idea what The Blood did and just fed it to the other party guests for the lulz.

Anti-Benji propaganda: this is quote from the book--"Listen to me! My name is Benjamin Woodside; I'm gay and trans as hell! I am a boy; my pronouns are he/him and I am a goddamn person!" Benji's story, from what I can gather, is about the affirmation of personhood (his and others) in defiance of the fundie cult. While this does not necessarily disqualify him from being an Avatar (see also: Agnes Montague), I think The Swine Prince just kind of is better at being an Avatar. As an individual, he's a human-devouring mass of viscera who represents The Ancestor's callous experimentation and exploitation of everyone and everything around him (by using the pigs as vessels for otherworldly creatures without regard for their wellbeing and his own people as food for this creature). As a representative of Darkest Dungeon as a whole, the game is very much Flesh-y in terms of how everything in the story can be traced back to The Ancestor's exploitation--such as how he gave The Siren to the fish people to turn her into a breeding slave; furthermore, the player character (The Heir) is encouraged to continue The Ancestor's horseshit by using and discarding the Heroes as tools, throwing them into the (metaphorical) meat grinder to achieve their goals. Also The Hag cooks people in her stew and the pig people of The Warren who serve The Swine Prince hunt and eat humans.
And then there's the super SPOILERY part:
The endgame reveals that humanity is an extension of the Heart of Darkness, a fleshy abomination with meaty tentacles who hates mankind and absorbs other beings and/or makes them more like itself--which from its perspective is just reclaiming what was already part of it. Humanity in Darkest Dungeon's world is essentially fucking cancer, and the revelation of this drives The Heir to suicide in the end, apparently being unable to cope with the revelation that their species is just a nightmare god's meat.

Flagellant's progression from DD to DD2 is fascinating to me. He was just some guy who liked pain and blood, now he's just some guy who died because of that, except he was too into it and now he's a living corpse! Living his best life that is. Love that man's dedication to whatever he's doing
Also i haven't finished the game and my personal interpretation so far is that we're in the Heir's head after DD trying to get them to get better after they got affected by the horrors, so everyone is just the Heir's interpretation of their people. So my thoughts are that they see Flagellant and think "yeah this guy must be dead by now, except no way he'd actually die"

Darkest Dungeon Update: I tried the Farmstead, but I had no clue that it would be an endless battle mode! That screwed me over and I had to retreat without a reward. Also, I need some help for how to use the Flagellant and which classes are the best for the Farmstead. I am a bit lost still ^^'

Can we all agree that the ending to darkest dungeon fucking sucked? "Here's our game about going through hell and back despite the odds to conquer an unconquerable evil- and oh yea it's all pointless and you kill yourself at the end anyway :)"

an incomplete list of the ancestor being the dumbest of fuckboys:
necromancers = good friends to have in my skeleton-filled basement!!
strange sea-dwelling underlord wants a human sacrifice to work its dark magics? probably no repercussions there
sewer swarming with unfriendly pig-human hybrids = great storage space for my horrific flesh monster
hmm. a vampire. better BREW HER BLOOD INTO WINE FOR ALL MY SHITTY FRIENDS TO DRINK THIS WILL CERTAINLY KILL THEM AND NOT DO THE ONE THING THAT VAMPIRE BLOOD IS FAMOUS FOR DOING
follow up: oh no all my shitty friends are winged murder bugs now. this open-air courtyard should contain them
reputation on the decline. better publicly torture a prophet about it
reputation somehow worse??? ??? ? better kill almost everyone in the hamlet about it
why hamlet in ruins now???? :( :( :(
