I saw your post about Feng and arcade in the New map, went to check your page bc it is funny and got jumpscared by your reblog of my art
Anyways, hiiii🌸
ooga booga
but also im very much a "the unknown is dwight" theory/au truther, although my favorite thing about the unknown is how up to interpretation he is!
getting into my theory however, first off, i mean. look at them.
Tumblr media
same hair and the same pants. however, dwight has short sleeves while the unknowns are rolled up. so take that how you will.
there were also three lines of his in the lobby that stood out to me.
"i lived in dungeons long forgotten."
"i'll send you a postcard."
"prepare for the expedition."
the first one could potentially reference the fog itself and the various realms within, the maps the trials take place in. many of which are relics of the past, left to rot.
the last two stick out to me due to dwight having entered the fog on a camping expedition, being abandoned by his coworkers in the woods.
dwight before the fog was already a bit of a questionable person, having drugged his boss in his tome lore. granted, he had no idea it would result in his boss nearly beating someone to death, but it was odd he even did that in the first place.
take this one with a grain of salt as it references a non canonical game, but could give us insight into dwights feelings regarding the fog and being the "leader" of the survivors.
to paraphrase his monologue down to the most telling parts,
"watching wraith get eliminated was the first time in this unending spiral staircase of pain that is my life that ive felt even a modicum of joy."
"every minute that i'm alive is a nightmare."
"please, erase me from this existence. make it so i was never born. pull the plug on this experiment and let my soul be free!"
if this is how he feels about being in that resort for eternity, how do you think he feels leading such an increasingly large group of people? in a realm such as the fog?
dwight most likely finally went off the edge, and the entity took that opportunity to turn him into it's newest killer, possibly using him to lure in new survivors as well.
as for the the unknown being so violently deformed and twisted, i can see that representing dwights once altruistic ideals being contorted and twisted over time into resentment and a desire for power.
although. this is just a theory. i wonder what kind of theory :3c
