The Werebeaver in the Room

[TheTraditionalGentleman]

I didn’t see any other threads on this (just comments on other threads) so I thought I’d make my own. While I guess there’s still a bit of debate on if the cabin in Walter’s video was Woodie’s, I’m convinced it is (if I had any doubts, the kitschy beaver in the corner sold me on it). 
And while it isn’t a ton of lore, I’m glad to get a glimpse XD

Mainly though, I feel like it lends itself towards the idea of Lucy having been an actual person, rather than just an axe that Woodie was fond off. Like has been pointed out, there are two chairs in the cabin (presumably for Woodie and his wife). 

Secondly, we can see a similar axe to Lucy on a stump outside of the cabin. I feel like this implies that Woodie’s affection of Lucy is less about the make and model of the axe, and more about the spirit in it (who I’m positive is Woodie’s wife). 

Just as a couple other thoughts, I think it’s interesting that Woodie was the werebeaver before the constant, rather than getting transformed after. I assumed this was the case, but it’s cool to see it confirmed. 
 

Really nothing groundbreaking here I guess, and by this point I feel like the lore (or at least Woodie’s) might be a little less concrete, and made solid as they need to, but it fits the headcanon I’ve had for my favorite character for years   
 

Anyone have any other thoughts about it? Think Lucy was indeed Woodie’s wife? Think otherwise? Think it’s possible that Maxwell lured Woodie to the Constant via promise of a cure? 
 

*edit* as a side thought, anyone else think the kitschy beaver, moose, and goose would be fun for the merch shop? Whether plush or plastic, I’d buy them XD  I honestly might have a go at whittling the beaver. . .

Yeah, I think Lucy is real and was his partner. Woodie’s compendium kinda proves it with the “jovial female voice” the other survivors swear they hear when he is alone. He’s always spoken to and about her with affection. I was convinced we were never gonna see Jack or Abigail in Wendy’s short, so I don’t see why we’d never see Lucy possibly as a human.

I was interested in Walter’s quote for Lucy to see if he knew her before. His general quote for Woodie asks how “Ms. Lucy is doing”. His quote for her is “she seems nice”, which is kind of ambiguous if he knew her before the Constant. However, we know for a fact Maxwell DEFINITELY knew her before the Constant. You could argue it’s because Maxwell created her (like Rawling in SW) but I don’t think it’s the case. I wish she had extra canon lines about other survivors to possibly expand on this. 

I like seeing lore that’s more passive and indirect. Maybe it didn’t completely show us Woodie’s story, but we have a better idea of what happened.

That second chair somewhat supports Lucy's existence.

who's to say Lucy the Ax "sits" on the red fluffy chair

Lucy is woodie's wife and there is a easter egg for it in the main game of dst. Long before walter's animation. 

Simply get two lucys in youre inventory and the lucys will argue with eachother on who's the real lucy and will constanly call woodie"you two timer"or"how could you do this to me! ". 

Those quotes arent something normal people say when there is a clone of them talking with their friends, but more like something people say to someone who did them dirty.

Woodie having the curse before the Constant is a neat touch, added more with knowing that Wickerbottom taught Woodie how to control his transformation, as well as gaining more forms. I think Lucy is just a normal axe that, due to Constant's power, became sentient. And while people dont hear Lucy when held, they know she talks, as picking her up, they hear her yell at them. Also, a few characters also casually greet her, while others just treat her like an axe.
