The Dead by Daylight movie just got, like, rlly interesting to me
I think looking back Greenville was a foregone conclusion since it's the most fleshed out setting outside the entity's realm. MacMillan estate is obvious since Trapper was always going to be the main slasher here.
However my odd theory is that Sable will be the protagonist, or at least deuteragonist, seeing as she's the most driven and, arguably, most interesting Greenville character. If they take this route I think MacMillan estate will be moved to be around Greenville and Sable will be investigating Evan's disappearance for her proto-podcast either as a result of or leading up to Mikaela's disappearance. Leading into her entering the fog. Queue into a more traditional Trapper vs. Survivors slasher plot.
If you want a real hail mary, the black vale will be revealed as part of Greenville's history, possibly even active in the modern setting. Maybe the Greenville settler's were Black Vale members, which would explain all the localised weirdness (Jason dbd, Unkown, Mikaela and Julian's disappearance and the fact Sable can have a long running podcast only about local myths)
I just wanted to share my theory, I'm like 90% sure I will be vindicated in like 3 years though. This doesn’t match Sable lore exactly, she's meant to go missing in the theatre, but I couldn't find a completely lore friendly way to mesh pre-existing Greenville characters with Trapper's story in a completely lore-friendly way, so this is my way to do it with what we know now.
I'd obviously love to hear anyone else's theories based off of what we have though!
“Patient 202. 26 year old female. Admitted over a year ago. History of gynecological complaints which I diagnosed as endometriosis through laparoscopic surgery 9 months ago. No history of any other health complications. Are we ready to begin?”
I look from the anesthetized woman on the slab in front of us to my intern across the table, in full surgical garb, hands clasped in front of his chest as he was taught to keep the sterile field. The mask can do nothing to hide the excitement in his eyes.
“Scalpel” I announce as I hand him the tool, “begin with a deep incision laterally starting directly below the clavicle. Ending at the breastbone.” He looks up to me for confirmation so I nod for him to begin. This is the first time I let my intern cut into a live patient himself. We’ve done similar in cadaver labs but this is his first time putting scalpel to live human tissue under my guidance. “A little more pressure, do not be afraid of going too deep.” I instruct as I watch. The first incision is concluded “Good. The same on the other side now.” He’s gaining confidence now and makes his second cut with more trust in his own steady hand. Looking up at me when the second incision meets the first. “Now continue the incision down to the pubic bone, try to keep your depth consistent, and ensure you maneuver around the navel.” He completes the incision flawlessly, the cheesy grin beneath his mask obvious through his eyes when he looks up for my approval; “Well done. You may begin dissecting away the tissue and exposing muscle.” The young doctor in front of me eagerly begins the tedious task.
Once we have the skin folded open and retracted I have the boy name each muscle as I point them out. Instructing him to feel here or there. What we do next will differ from what we do in a cadaver lab, when we dissect through the muscle we have to do so in a way so that we can reattach everything for functionality since this is a patient who will go on to live many years with these scars.
It when we exposed her ribcage the excitement in the room became palpable he’s going to see his first beating heart! I had let him complete most of the process thus far but he knows how delicate the next step can be, “May I do the honor?” He asks tentatively, gesturing to the bone saw “She’s your patient, you will be doing it all. She’s all yours.” I see then young doctor in front of me attempt to contain his excitement but he stumbles over his words “y-yes sir! Thank you, s-sir!” Every resident feels this way when they get to manage their first patient all to themselves, even with an attending presiding above. An experience most don’t experience until at least the second year of residency, and typically a simple case like an appendectomy. But this is not your usual teaching hospital and this is not your usual intern. His knowledge and technique surpassing some third year residents.
Being given a patient-in the most literal sense. He will complete her non-medically necessary exploratory surgery, absorb every ounce of information he can from her precious insides. Then stitch her up and tend her wounds. He will manage her medications and sedation. Monitor her recovery. He has been given a patient. Not just for this procedure, “As a graduation gift!” Doctor Larch had insisted despite him not quite at the end of his intern year. 202 is one of his special patients, the ones that never leave. The rumors of these patients is what lead the intern here.
It does not take the skilled young Doctor long to have her chest cracked and precious heart and lungs exposed. The amateur surgeon places his tools down and clasps his bloodied gloved hands in front of his chest again to take a moment to admire her beauty. The complex muscle in front of him beating a consistent 74 beats per minute. “It’s a sight to behold, isn’t it?” I ask after allowing the intern a moment of silent reflection. “I remember my first open heart, I got to observe a valve replacement my intern year. I was not lucky enough to touch the heart myself though. I was a fly on the wall.” My gloves were still pristine white, I had scrubbed in but thus far had kept my hands clean, allowing my intern to do it all. I reach in the chest cavity and gently touch the beating muscle. “You can touch it, if you’d like. While delicate, the heart is a strong muscle. She can take it.” I slide my hand underneath the heart moving slowly and cautiously. “Just like this. Nice and gentle. Have you seen open chest compressions? Just like this..” I give her heart a squeeze causing her to beat at my will, throwing off her own rhythm. We both hear the change in tone on the monitor causing my intern to switch his gaze to the screen. I withdraw my hand and we meet eyes. I nod giving him permission and he slowly reaches out a steady hand.
He just caresses her heart with two fingers for a moment, gauging the firmness of the muscle before slipping his hand beneath to hold her heart as I had done. After a moment he looks up to me again, eyes glistening. “Go on, make her heart beat for you. You’re the surgeon. Her heart has to obey you.” I didn’t think his smile could grow beneath his mask and yet it does. He beams when he gives a gentle squeeze, it was a weak beat. But he’s still learning how much a heart can take. He gives another squeeze, eyes glued to the monitor as he sees her beat, his beat throwing off her rhythm again. He did it again as if to confirm what he just witnessed was real.
Despite what we may say about ourselves surgeons are power hungry. We want to exert control over the human body, even life and death. There is no more control than making one’s heart beat in your own hand, knowing also, how one slip of the wrist could make it stop.
“It’s magnificent, sir.” Is all my intern has to say. This is a high he will be chasing the rest of his career. There is nothing more intimate, more controlling, more beautiful, than holding a heart in your hand.
Hii again, do you have any general headcanons about the entity, killers, or survivors?
Thanks for asking!!<3
Sry for being gone for so long I had some stuff. I'll do this in sections so it will be easier to read.
The Entity
It has a sense of humor
It's just twisted and ...wrong no dip
But it does have some mercy aka Moris the horse
The entity doesn't have a gender since it doesn't quite get how humanity works but it has the voices down.
It just uses too many at a time.
Does have favorites ( Danny that whorish slut)
It's funny in it's own way,and if you r too then it would help you a little.
Survivors
Bill is the baddest bitch and the grandfather type of everyone.
Ace is the wine aunt and teaches bad habits like gambling and stuff. And has atrocious fashion sense.
Meg is a cool,like crazy cool. She's like that older sister that would buy you McDonald's. She's just cool and caring.
Jake is cold ,but he cares.
David is a dick but he cares too mabey more than anyone.
Yun Joon ( lady with purple hair and fashion sense) is Ace's mortal enemy, will and has harassed him to get better fashion sense. Ace love making her mad.
Adam teaches everyone stuff that they didn't get to learn from school and is a patent good teacher.
Jeff and Kate plays guitar by the fire and sings.
Too many to do all so I'll cut it here.
Killers
Ghostface... he's the obnoxious favorite. Like he's the kid if you ask for something and the parents say no , he asks in front of you and asks the same thing but gets a yes. Has and will go to the survivors camp with and without his mask on, he has also convinced most of the survivors ( besides Bill and some of the Resident Evil peeps) that he is also a survivor.
Amanda/the pig has also made some trips but less frequent because of Tapp ;but she goes sometimes. In trials she might leave you alive in exchange for a chat but that mostly ends in death.
I'll leave this here because it's been to long and I need to put something out and do more world building and stuff.
Ok, ok, ok, hear me out. The reason why people die by these demonic ass creatures in horror movies is because they use inside-of-the-box solutions for outside-of-the-box problems. Like, real shit, what if the survivor just pulled down their pants in the middle of a chase and started running again like nothing happened?
👀 Wraith, Spirit, and anyone else 👀
... I'm sure you want this to go another way but I just thought of something funny with this so imma going to go the non nsfw for this one, but if y'all do want one just ask; but this one is just the survivor being a smartass.( My parents are over my shoulder and I don't want them to know that I have an account lol).
I also decided to go the small story route fo this one.
Spirt
This is a sport of a young highschool student that has so much life to look forward to, much like you did before the fog took you. Now we all know she angy 24/7 but sometimes she has this clarity that overcomes her to where she is just numb; and it was in this numb moment where you did something unheard of in the trials.
Pulled down your pants.
Lets back up.
So you were out with your friends when y'all wanted to be adventurous and try out new clothes in your closet. Like the ones that you hardly wear. So you gathered these clothes and went to the allotted spot to meet up and that when the fog came. Now what you were in right now was the skinniest jeans that have ever skinny jeaned. And that's no exaggeration. Them things tight. You just realized how tight when you were being chased by a literal ghost thing that was screaming with rage and crying. Meh not your problem.
So you're here running like an actual champ( the fat gym teacher at your school would be so proud 🥲) when you finally couldn't bear these jeans anymore,so like any sane person would you naturally began to strip down quickly after you pallet stunned the ghost girl.
And this is when her post-nut-clarity comes in.
In this moment after you had stripped out of your tight pants and we're only standing in you underwear getting ready to run and tying the legs of your pants around your waist, did she have this moment. At first she didn't know what to do, she felt embarrassed and flustered and like going home to cry or laugh ( no in between) then remembered she had no home to go to.
As her eyes landed on your retreaing figure though she couldn't help but to be brought back to that feeling of humor and something else. It felt like she was a little warm again. This is what brought her to giggle then to finally laugh for the first time in a long time.
To bad there was only one survivor to witness it. And that my dead friends was Bill who was also trying not to laugh.
Wraith
This is a poor man. Really poor may who has been bullied by life and even now in death-ish? Flashlights do be shining on this man peridotically ,but even with that he is a feared killer because he is one of the best, and has some respect still to his name.
For one part even in the fog this man is a gentleman. Not only has he been able to snag the nurse ( she just ✨fine✨ uk?) ( Sry for interrupting) but he also tries to be respectful to anyone he has a trial with. For example this man respects pallets,the crouchy crouch, and if a survivor is ride or die for a gen( sometimes he even lets them complete it too) over all the survivors don't mind it too much is they get brutally slaughtered by him. Tehe. ( I hate myself for typing that).
But even with that he does one thing that most other killers don't : he holds survivors by the pants. Or if they have a skirt on he pulls it down when he's putting them on his shoulder. He's going to have to rethink the pants thing though expressly after what you just did .
Let's back up.
So in the few trails you've had you have made yourself be known as a smartass by survivors and killers alike by your way of doing the trials.
With saying that you have made traps that haven't been really thought of such as tripwires, the home alone paint bucket thing but except a paint bucket you had to used a bigass rock that you could with Dwight's tie as a rope,wood from broken pallets to stab killers, you've even tripped killers and tied them up.
You think you're funny at least,but you've come a long way since your first trial with the Spirt- heck you even have new pants ( they were some of Jake's oldish ones) - at least you thought so. Right now you're just wiggling on the shoulder of a tree man that smells like blood ,oak , and hospital linnins. You aren't going to question the last one.
To make matters worse the hook was only getting closer. You had a hatred of the hook. Though you don't get hooked that many times to be honest, but who would like the hook? I lay my point to rest and take a nap.
Then when you both were just 6ft from the hook it clicked that he wasn't holding YOU he was gripping onto your pants. So like a magestic walrus flopping around to go into the water you slid out of your pants and quickly went to get away from him as fast as you could-
Leaving a flustered tree man. He... did not expect that.
Don't get him wrong he knew it was going to be different with you in a trial but he didn't expect something that ... drastic. How is he even going to give you your pants back? He was still in a state of shock as he watches your figure to to the other corner of the map to hide.
Then all the sudden Nea falls out of the locker just laughing and crying . So that was when he picked her up and hooked her, then gave her your pants so she could give them back.
He can't really force himself to go for you or look you in the eye after that day. But as they say time heals all wounds.
Freddy ( the Nightmare)
This man and you have a massive vendetta. He's not a good man and from Quentin's stories of him have only fueled this madness. FOR REAL SIS even the entity is in on the bets. For right now Ace is on the winning side with you, with the entity constantly punishing Freddy for losing.
So the stakes were real for him...but they also were for you for other reasons. You see you didn't know anything about the bets and stuff;you just didn't want to be touched or gotten the best of by a pedophile.
It's also isn't like the other survivors don't help you or anything,they do the regular team stuff and help out as much as they can without getting in your way ;but when it comes to two people who hate each other so much there is not really much to do .
It was one trial that the entity was getting tired of you winning so it set you up with a handicap.
No Mither.
David's forsaken awful perk.
All because Freddy wasn't as strong after the entity nerfed him so much.
But before you even started the trial and noticed that you couldn't replace it you knew it was that punk bitch Freddy.
So as bad bitches do you were duking it out at shack and went to go vault the window when he caught you by the seam of the pants. And since basement was RIGHT THERE you decided on something. You quickly slipped out of Jake's hand-me-downs and sprinted to the other side as adrenalin took over your bloodstream.
He didn't know what to do ,but he did enjoy the veiw~
As Quentin flashlight-ed him to high heavens and David yanked your pants out of his grip and quickly vaulted the window to find you and give you back your pants.
It's safe to say they've gotten used to this;and see you as the younger brat of a little sister.
Y'all got each other's backs especially against a pedo.
What about a survivor that follows six feet behind the killer all trial?
Hehehehe
Beautiful that's what.
Wesker
We all know how it goes with those people in the fog that think their so big and bad and great at their job.....people should be running away . Simple right? GUESS AGAIN!
Look we all know this man can turn heads and he knows that too. Is that why? No. No it isn't.
It's gotten so bad that people have went on and called you his shadow. He can't escape even at the fire there you are in the tree line staring. Well until your called for or other killers chase you away.
He can't chase you away either. You've watched other survivors to know when he'll do something, don't even get him started about that time he wasted on trying to catch you. Let's just say Urboros didn't touch you and he had a head full of wood.
When he can down a survivor your there with a stupid pallet or flashlight that another survivor gave you after the start of the trial to stun him into oblivion.
He's done. He asks. No begs for the entity to block you out of his trials but it refused,sending you to more trials with him.
Entity eats good yk fam?
While his old team still feels betrayed and hurt like they found out that their boyfriend cheated on them they seek their vengeance with you. One of the rare people who get the best of his. They supply you with as much flash grenades you need them some. Y'all close. They even go out of their way to help you, which not everyone in the fog does most of the time.
Ghostface
He doesn't know wether to feel flattered or creeped out.
You are the first one to actually makes him a little unsettled. And you're a survivor,so that makes it worse.
Here he thought that he was the entity's favorite,did he let his ego grow? Yes ,yes he did. Did he sometimes bully/ creep out the other killers. Also yes. .... IS THIS A LESSON?!
But you are kinda cute...WAIT! Could you be a cute yandere that will kill the survivors if he touches- NOPE YOU ARE NOT!!!!!
He doesn't see you most of the time he only catches glimpses of your figure, hair,jacket, and not even a good glimpse just enough to know your around.
He still doesn't even have a good picture of you,just a shaky blurry image that he got at the exit gate.
This man has a vendetta against how he isn't able to even get a picture of you too. Ask the entity, sadly it couldn't get a good one either. It's at the point where the entity and Ghostface have started a club to get a picture of you in the wild. Sure the entity could hold you down ,but what's the fun in that?
Your like Wilson on Home Improvement. There's always something conveniently places to obsure your face. Trees,other survivors, pallets,killers,crows that pop out of NOWHERE. Don't even get this man started.
It upsets him so much to where the other killers have started to notice and watch on the sidelines. Some even offered to help you hid you more if need be. As long as he's out of their hair.
You know what the kicker was? You don't even mean to. It's just by chance. But you are a hero to killers and survivors alike. Really they make you stuff.
Death Slinger
He sincerely tries not to bother him.
Sure he's been followed most his life. He has also followed people too. Infact that's his job.
Is this your job? Whatever.
At first he was able to get a shot off you but like all anime protagonists you learned quickly.
Bang! Takes step. Slash! Crouch and steps then goes back to the allotted 6feet.
He's also noticed that survivors give you flashlights in trial. No. Mater. What. You get a flashlight,even if you bring in something else like a toolbox ,you always somehow get a flashlight or flash grenade. It's gotten so bad he has LIGHTBORN in his second perk slot.
That's how much. Other killers are also noticed this and are learning lightborn just for you hope you feel special.
He even curse's when he sees you ;even in the distance. " Oh no you don't ya son of a bi-" and he even breaks out the old ,old ones that he once only reserved for Bayshore. He would make sailors blush and proud.
His parents not so much.
He doesn't nessarly blame you, he wouldn't just watch as his crew got killed ,but could you stop yer yapping for a second!!!
But for the most part with your crew your ride of die, taking hits so the don't get hooked,even going as far as to make tripwire. (Which he finds mean, he has a leg brace for crying out loud!!!!)
Entity
You've also noticed that more and more killers are equipping lightborn. Makes you feel proud,but it makes your job so much harder then it needs to be(ironic); so the new solution?
Petty insults. Nothing to major,just enough to give them doubt to make them feel self conscious and the more thought they give it the more depressed they get.
Ok your as petty as a highschool girl. It's gotten so bad that some of the killers have unequip it . And that also means that the entity gets more complaints.
The amount of compliments have almost, ALMOST made a perk for pacifically you;but it decided against it. It kinda feels like blowing up a tall oak tree for no reason.
What if you also find a way to break the perk?
But it is invested to take one single picture of you without your face being covered up by whatever. The entity and Ghost face have bonded more thanks to you too so that's a plus ig.
It also feels impressed and intimidated that you can kinda?break the trails through guts alone. Sure it can sense you're kinda scared but your guts and something else makes you stick close. It's beginning to even question if your the prey.
But it also wonders if your afraid of that silly virus thing that was going on in one of the worlds. What was it? Colitis? Callara? Corona COVID? Whatever.
It is interested in seeing what other changes you bring but is also scared by the changes that you can possibly bring.
It's taken notice how you've changed the killer camp and brought the survivor camp just a little closer. And by what 6 FT. It's got David even going with you to see who will chicken out first.
If you want to see more or of certain person just tell me who and and what you want. See u later bye bye <3
Had this idea because I've been playing and that one luck add on where the girl has her hands in prayer...so I was wondering what if a new survivor who didn't really know how the trials were run and that people don't actually die was caught by a killer praying at the side of a moried survivor.
Plague
When she saw you praying something snapped, not in her head, in her heart. Not necessarily guilt, but sorrow.
Well until she remembered that she was killing for her gods.
Sees you kneeling down and gives you a minute to finish your prayer or just leaves you alone.
She has respect for other people who practice their faith,even in trial will let you go if she got more than 1 kill.
But if she knows your faking it ...let's just say you'll have a bad time.
Spirt
Like Plague she still has respec- SIKE
She's too angry and filled with rage to care.
But on the off chance that she is not blinded by her rage, I think that she would let you finish your prayer and give you a 10 second head start then chance you down and brutally murder you.
DeathSlinger
I feel like he'd let you say your prayers but the second you were done get speared gunned- if you were Bayshore.
But I think he'd let you be unless he absolutely needed to get on with the trial and kill more people.
He might even join you if it was someone worthy of respect in his eyes.
Definitely would take off his hat while you pray.
Michael Myers/ the Shape
Must I say
No absolutely not,picks you up by the neck and slams you on the closest hook to the body.
Bonus in his eyes if it overlooks the body so you stare at it while incapacitated.
But if for some reason can't get near you fast enough uses you to charge up his stalk so he can kill you.
This man cares for no one.
The Pig
Will hesitate a little not a whole lot ,but enough to make a decision of weather to let you go or not.
Might have some respect because your doing a decent thing.
Would like to play a game with you after the trail to see how strong you conviction was.
Legion
Frank and Julie would be rude. Change my mind.
Would be like ",your praying to the wrong one." Or something mean.
Wouldn't wait for a second to chase you down and kill you.
Then after the trail laugh about it.
Joey would wait for you to finish but not for you to get up. And if you manage to would chase you down.
He would at least wait. Might think it's ironic that someone is praying here. But otherwise wouldn't think much of it.
Susie would wait for you to finish,might even hold your hand or put her hand on your head while you pray.
Would help you up then try to leave you if she could.
Ghostface
Would gather stalk untill 99% then get closer to take a picture.
A new survivor?! Praying next to his handy work?! It's not my birthday is it??????
Would chuckle a little, what's the point they'll come back.
Takes off his mask and kneel next to you, and when you look up would bury the knife deep in your back.
Entity ( just watching you)
At first thought the prayer was for them,but then remembered that you wouldn't know about them.
Little interested nonetheless
Perhaps they could somehow use you in a way,morale,hope,power.
The possibilitys are endless.
But still, it would be dangerous to have a Devine being here so it will continue to keep an eye on you.
