I hc that woodlegs can go SO long without interactions, like he can be alone for months on end but also he can be one of the most extroverted youd ever meet.

-Atli

Yes this probably correct very good

[dst-headcanons]

who doesnt love a little silly hc!

-atli

truetrue

[dst-headcanons]

also warly can tell how hungry someone is & its scary accurate. mainly wickerbottom knows this fact.

(also i have a lot of joke hcs)

-Atli

Joke headcanons are so peak

[dst-headcanons]

thats a cool hc! i actually understand it

-Atli

Thanks… I have my nerd passport stamped in multiple areas *tries to push glasses up on nose animeingly but trips*

[dst-headcanons]

i try to memorize them cuz i like to celebrate these moments. wigfrids is the next coming :3 (july 25th) & warlys is after (july 27th). im glad you like the hc!

-Atli

Thanks, we’ll try to keep them straight this time TvT

ALSO WORMWOOD BEING PRIDE MONTH BIRTHDAY BECAUSE MOST PLANTS ARE HERMAPHRODITES!!!!!! (that’s my hc ok ok)

[dst-headcanons]

fair point, i feel that warly NEVER mentions when its his birthday but hes the one who remembers everyone's birthdays, age, favourite food, & food restrictions (like wigfrid's carnivorous diet & wurt's vegetarianism) but he would never mention his birthday (but people know his birthday since its canonically 2 days a after wigfrid's) wigfrid would try to get something especially nice for wickerbottom as apology for her feralness & how it WILL continue (again wigfrid is super feral & chaotic to me). Wickerbottom would give books to people & knows everyone's favourite genre even if the survivor doesn't know it themselves (i have a bit of hcs for what the survivors like to read abt). Wilson would want some science materials & would give lil things that he made from science that he thinks each survivor would like (they sometimes breaks on accident but both the receiver & wilson are used to it so no feeling are hurt).

also today is wormwood's birthday

-Atli

Oh happy birthday Wormwoods!!! We’re horrible with keeping up with dates, let alone birthdays… -ili

we say happy birthday Wormwoods too!! btw

ili says they really like the Wickerbottom headcanon btw!! -Webber

[dst-headcanons]

for their birthdays what do yall think each survivor would want as a present (bonus question: what would which survivor give to who?)

-Atli

Warly would give survivors their favorite foods but in a SUPER complex way. You know that 1 min 1 hour 1 day cooking trend? That, he is making the BEST favorite food possible. Food is his love language. However, his dream gift is NOT food. Idk what it is since Warly isn’t one of my favs, but he would melt at being seen as more than the food guy…

For Wendy it’s Abigail being alive lol. Wendy would give flowers specially chosen. Abigail wants Wendy to be happy and gives free haunting coupons for spooking someone of your choice

Wickerbottom would give specially chosen books and would love either a hard to get book or one she hasn’t read

Webber would want art supplies and always gives art or decorates the card

Wurt would want a day of feasts

Maxwell wants a vacation

Wormwood would want fertilizers and a day of no plant hurting. He would give either fertilizers, very good produce, or deadly plants no in between

WX wants a pile of raw materials tall enough to play king of the hill on (and then win said king of the hill game but they wouldn’t tell the others that)

Willow wants one burning down a forest without consequences coupon

Winona would say she doesn’t want anything (actually wants Charlie back and a mountain of duct tape)

And yeah that’s all I could think of for now

[dst-headcanons]

i mean they are humans (most of them). theres no way not one of them spread some sort of something to the constant. & warly just doesnt like the idea of acidentally getting wigfrid spit or blood from the bite (she doesnt usually break skin, when it happens its unintentional) into whatever hes cooking.

-Atli

(don’t really have anything to say lol)

[dst-headcanons]

they could but it wouldnt smell that good still likely. but he might smell not the best but compared to the others tho. & yes he do has tasty hands according to wigfrid (warly does not like being bitten because it hurts a little, & he has to find somewhere to wash his hands because its unsanitary to cook when someone bite your hand)

-Atli

I love Warly still trying to be sanitary even though you can’t get sick in the Constant 🥹 (or if in your hcs he can, then it’s still funny because he insists they get soap and boil water just so he can cook)

[dst-headcanons]

that would make sense for walter ngl. also wigfrid bites warly most because hes one of the few that doesnt smell absolutely terrible & he actually smells like food . theres no way that everyone there smells good cuz they kinda dont have soap in the constant

-Atli

Tbh they could make soap… they could get lard from pigmen if they really wanted to. But no doubt Warly smells the best he probably tastes like all the spices

[dst-headcanons]

more you say?

theres gotta be a reason for why each survivor is the way they are. like why is walter so afraid of being injured? why does Wickerbottom have insomnia or is it diagnosed?

uhee for a HC hmmm.

Wigfrid bites.. a lot.. shes 10x feral in my eyes.

-Atli

For Walter I think it’s more that he’s prepared because he’s a Pinetree Pioneer and like logically knows what to expect, but then getting hurt kind of slams it all down on him reaffirming it’s all real… like it’s a fun camping trip until you get scratched by a human sized dog

Also yes Wigfrid go chomp

[dst-headcanons]

i think we need more bonds between them like, who is better friends with who? personally i like to hc Warly & Ms. Wickerbottom being very close friends because they are some of the more responsible ones

(sorry for yapping alot recently lol)

-Atli

noooo yap more!! we all really like hearing people talk :)

[dst-headcanons]

I love woodie!!! i want more lore on wigfrid because i want to learn abt who she was before her vikingness was to the extreme (i have a WHOLEEEE thing abt that since i did research on the opera she takes the role of, who the role is in the saga shes from, norse mythology, & just overall abt norse paganism practices. i think wes needs a bit more lore also like, why is he a mime? can he ACTUALLY talk but chooses not to for the mime bit?

WE NEED CHARACTER LORE!!

-Atli

YEAHHHHH

[dst-headcanons]

thats honestly a lil sweet to think abt

i like to give random bonds for my hcs like woodlegs & walani are friends (i like to pretend the ds exclusive are in dst)

i like sharing my HCs & if ye ever have questions abt them you can ask under something i say

i just wish klei gave more lore to the characters themselves (not the very well known ones like maxwell, charlie, winona, (maybe) wilson) then we could hyperfixate on characters more & make more theories with more info to make theories & hcs on.

-Atli

I love making headcanons for the DS exclusive characters in DST too… they deserve the light of day… come out….

Also yes we need more info for some characters (cough cough WOODIE cough cough)

[dst-headcanons]

do yall have some HC for a woodlegs backstory prepirate or like tales that could have happened on the ship?

-Atli

I just have this one, but I do like it. His parents were cartographers that lived near the ocean and that’s what got him into boats, hearing the sailors nearby talk about their stories. He was often supposed to help with the business, but would sneak out to either watch the boats dock or hear stories

[dst-headcanons]

Since I am awake (boy and ili are not) and the inbox is as empty as a spider's stomach, I wish to talk about some things that may be seen as headcanons.

While the boy understands why the other survivors don't like "monster meat" I do not. It is just meat after all, and healthy food is healthy food.

Since the merging of me and the boy did make me have human levels of intelligence and I am able to speak, I do not do so often, so most times we speak it is the boy.

"Webby" is a nickname the boy gave me. While I do not identify with any particular name, it is better than simply being called "the spider" I also use He/Him, I am not an it and none of my family is either.

The boy's name used to be Willard. However, I think it is a dumb name, and therefore call him what I have always called him, "the boy".

And that is it, good afternoon, good evening, and good night.
