my theory abt the willowmist characters. demo and ADWD spoilers ahead
florian - kinda obvious, u get to learn it in the demo. hes a vampire. ILL ALSO ROMANCE HIM IF ITS THE LAST THING I DO.
winnie - is obviously a ghost, duh
lucille - time travelling knight
ok, now that the obvious ones are out of the way.....
emmett - at first i thought he might be a reaper in hiding but honestly starting to think itd be wayyyy way funnier if hes actually just a normal fuckin dude lol. thatd be hilarious actually. if hes not then i think the second funniest option is if he's a tooth fairy.
eden - my theory is that hes the cupid we get to meet in the game! like, @twoandahalfstudios said we'd meet one in it, and there's several reasons that i think it's him. and it's actually not the fact he's so damn flirty. my reasoning is the fact he mentioned having "a communal upbringing", family being sort of meaningless to him and that where hes from, opinions are handed to you and expected to be kept. that struck me a lot like the grim reaper org, but i feel like thatd make him sort a fugitive being much more actively chased down.
in ADWD2 demo, we learn that cupids are real in this universe, they apparently have (allegedly) a similar organizational structure to the reapers, and operate in teams. how much is true about that, we ofc cannot say - so i take it all with a grain of salt, but i fully went into the demo with the intention of finding out who i think is the cupid, if they are indeed in the demo at all, and i think ive found him. im not sure if him being a carpenter is relevant at all, and if so, how, but maybe its about him trying to find his own passion or way in life.
theres also lucille mentioning that he doesnt have a .... let's call it "presence" to her. like, she says she feels like he lacks an aura, almost as if he's not supposed to be there, or exist among mortal folk at all. its her reason for not trusting eden at all, and i dont blame her for that at all either. i dont think eden's actually an evil dude somehow, but... i do think him treating "love like a transaction" as emmett put it so succinctly in his tipsy stupor, can also stem from having been brought up in an environment where making people fall in love is literally your job. id fall into a less (for lack of a better term) romantic few of love too if i was him and a cupid.
it sounds to me like this job left him feeling empty and longing to be more - maybe even to get to actually experience this love himself instead of just dishing it out and watching others get to enjoy it. maybe thats why flirts as much as he does? because he still fully understand it, let alone how to find it himself.
.... it just occurred to me. the fact cupids actually exist, and aside from casper, thereve been grim reapers falling for mortals before, its extremely funny to me to think thereve been some cupids that had our favorite babygirl grim reaper on their radar and list LMAO. if thats how it works for cupids at all, i mean. i think thatd be hilarious, and also fucked up in a way, considering the way reapers are forced to exist like, all the time.
... actually now that i think about it, i suppose it doesnt matter if the other individual is a mortal or not. even the idea of a cupid fucking around and making two reapers fall for eachother (adwd2 maybe?? who knows) without either of them being any the wiser is sort of funny and lowkey terrifying. man these poor grim reapers simply cannot catch a fucking break can they
as for vivi, the kid you meet - i think she's either a doppelganger, changeling, or shapeshifter
YES I DID HAVE THE MOST THOUGHTS ABOUT EDEN OKAY WHAT OF IT
