As a firm believer of the theory that the Colonel is Wilford and that Mayor Damien is Dark, I’d like to expand on this. I was rewatching WKM and especially keeping an eye out for Damien and the way he engaged with certain characters. This is gon’ be a long ride kiddos.
This first thing is probably the thing that I find the most interesting. Damien is the perfect character. He is intelligent, he is sympathetic, he obviously mourns Mark and he is very kind to us. He uses big words yet isn’t afraid to tell the Colonel to get his head out of his ass, which doesn’t seem like a very Dark thing to do now does it? No, this is a role Dark is playing. This is him wanting us to think that he really cares about Mark’s death because we do too. Imagine if you were really in that position. Your old friend just died in front of you, that would hurt a lot. Damien is guiding us through that in a way, because he shares our feelings. He’s showing us; ‘I know what you feel. I can be trusted. I am your friend.’ A little too much if you ask me.
Another thing is.. What really concerned me even in the first watch of the video was Damien saying he needed alone time. The alarm bell immediatly went off with me because holy shit, what is he gonna do when he’s alone? Back then I didn’t even link Dark to Damien so even without Dark that is still a fishy thing. Though I personally don’t believe Damien was the one who did it, who knows what Dark can do when he’s alone?
Third thing is the way he treats the Colonel who we assume to be Wilford. It’s very much like in Markiplier TV don’t you think? Very friends, but not really friends type of thing. Damien also says that the Colonel is eccentric and that it’s his best and worst quality. Well, we have heard Dark respects Wilford. If we assume that is the truth, then maybe this proves it even more? Wilford or the Colonel being eccentric can be good too, if you know how to use it well. Dark obviously does.
Fourth thing. Which is clear as day, Damien is extremely refined. Hair slicked back, suit in place and everything. (Something we didn’t see with Dark in Darkiplier VS Antisepticeye because it wasn’t canon Dark.) He is really the perfect charming character and his appearance matches that. So many people already love Damien, including myself, who have also fallen for Dark. It’s a pattern.
And then the last thing.. Damien. His name literally means devil. (I’ve been corrected, it doesn’t literally mean devil but there are many pop culture refences to the devil when talking about the name Damien. So it still counts lol.) Now the devil is the prince of lies, the one with the silver tongue. If you look at the devil in another way than a little red man, you will find he is very charming and will manipulate and seduce you into trusting him before getting you to do whatever it is he wants. The devil is VERY similar to Dark and now even Damien’s name is a direct reference to it. And, can’t forget that both names start with a D.
I have seen many other amazing theories out there, and many other way deeper thoughts about this than I can do in just twenty minutes, but this is what I have so far. Also, tagging @mayor-damien-protection-squad because maybe you’d like to see this?? I don’t really know.
That’s it for theory time with Theresa because I’m a mess
