Camp Camp theory
Hi! This is a theory i came up with for camp camp! This is just for fun, and it was kinda inspired by a few things, which I aknoledge when they come up in the text below, but I do not own them, and I did not make them.. I hope you enjoy!!
Ok, so bear with me here. What if...David and Daniel were identical twins, exactly alike, with the exception of their eyes (Daniel having light blue and David having a blie-green color), but were separated not long after birth. This would explain their similar names, as mothers who give birth to twins often name them similarly. Additionally: in a psychological study, it was determined that twins, despite being raised in totally different enviroments, socially, economically, and religiously, will find they have more in common than anyone would think. They would share similar: mannerisms (see Daniel and David's identical movements/mannerisms), tastes (both play string instraments, with David playing the guitar, and Daniel playing the fiddle/violin. Their hair could also fit into this as they have the same hair style/cut), speech patterns (which they do have, and similar voices too), and much, much more. The physical similarities are also undeniable. They look exactly the same. Same eyes, same nose, same ears, same mouth, same height, same everything. The only difference is their clothes and color scheme.
Anyways continuing with the actual theory itself, While (going along with a headacnnon I found that is at the end of this paragraph) David stayed with their mom (having a not-so-good homelife {see below}), Daniel was taken in by some cultists.
These cultists then put Daniel in the chamber we see Daniel use in season 2 episode 1, Cult Camp (I believe it's refered to as an 'ascention chamber?). The effects didnt last as long as they'd have liked them to, so the put him through it again. And again. And again. With each use, the effects lasted longer and his hair and skin got lighter with each use, until his naturally tan skin was a pale ivory, and his hair that had been a chestnut red turned blond. This repeditive exposure to this brainwashing, and maybe evwn physical and emotional abuse by the hands of his adoptive parents (inspiration at the end of this paragraph), made him into the Daniel we see in camp camp. And, neither of them know the other exists, so imagine their surprise when they first meet, and relise how much they have in common.
I also like to think that after the events of the episode, Daniel was taken to the hospital, and had to stay there for a bit. Eventually David visits, dragging a less that enthusiastic Max behind. They talk for a bit and eventually Max makes a curse-filled, snarky remark about how it's creepy how similar they are, and well, one thing leads to another and they find out that they are twins through a DNA test.
David is ecstatic, and Daniel is honestly a little scared when David insists that they move in together to make up for lost time, but reluctantly, he agrees. Of course, being still not fully recovered from the poison, Daniel is ordered by the doctors to take it easy. David, being dad/big-bro of the year, is determined to take care of his new little brother.
("David, I'm a grown man! I can take care if myself!" "No sir-re, until I get a call from your doctor saying you're completely healed, you will sit back, relax, and you will enjoy it, mister!" "DAVID I'M 24, NOT 3" "Then you should ******* act like it" "max, get out before I force poised kool-aid down you're throat." "Daniel, what did we say about poisoning the campers?" "*sigh*...not to?" "Good! Now eat your chicken soup." [Max, behind david: *sticking his tongue out*])
