Unsound Mind

I'm pretty sure that person was me. I've been thinking about this thread, and I'm glad it's still alive. Proud, even. Never let it die. This is my legacy *wheeze* pain...

I can't believe it. I started this thread last April. LAST APRIL. I went inactive for a while, then came back to find this. How... how did this happen? It's not like there's an abundance of content. How are you people STILL MAKING MEMES?

Hey everyone! I noticed that there's a buttload of new memes and no place to put them. Post them here for people to see (and so we can stop clogging up the puzzle thread). Enjoy! Edit: Also, the memes don't have to be Maxwell themed. All characters are welcome. This is merely a sequel of a previous meme thread.

Thanks! I'm always glad to see new members on the forums. Don't be afraid to get to know some of longer residents of this fandom. I promise we don't bite (By the by, I'm a lady, just so everyone knows. I don't think I've ever mentioned it on these forums despite how long I've been here, so no worries.)

So, who's loving the multiplayer skins? Just me? You can't tell me Wilson doesn't look a little like Inspector Gadget in this noir getup.

Whoa, I haven't posted here in a while. Rise, thread, RISE!

Nice job! This fits the moody atmosphere perfectly. I wish there was a piece on piano like this in the actual game, maybe for something dramatic.

I have a theory that Charlie doesn't have a material body anymore. In a way, she IS the darkness. In this gif, we're only seeing Charlie's effect on the player. When characters are taken from the real world to the DS world, it's almost like they're being converted from a live performance to a recording. They can die over and over, and yet be brought back to life like nothing happened, much like the way a CD can be restarted once the song is over. And with Charlie, that recording got corrupted. But how? In other words, I'm dying for more answers.

I've always wondered if Maxwell brought specific characters into the DS world for a purpose. They're all pretty unique, and each has a particular skill set. Maybe it's like he's collecting tools for his tool belt--tools to get out of there.

The timeline is on this thread, or right below this paragraph. The whole "Wilson and Maxwell being on equal footing" thing is just my speculation, and it's supported by this latest puzzle. And also, I think the fact that Wilson made something that Maxwell didn't have is worth mentioning. It's possible Maxwell didn't know how to build such a portal. Of course, it's also possible he just didn't want them to join forces, which is probably more likely. Either way, Wilson is using Maxwell's knowledge against him, since I'm betting that the jury-rigged portal's design was inspired by Maxwell's door. Spoiler 1890s - 1906: William Carter origin story 1906: William and Charlie enter the DS world. 1906 - 1910ish: Some crazy stuff happens that we haven't told you about yet.... 1910ish - 1921: The various playable characters get pulled into the DS world. 1921: Wilson gets pulled in (Forbidden Knowlege trailer). *THE ORIGINAL GAME + ROG STARTS HERE* ?: Wilson lives in DSworld for a while. Dies a lot, eventually finds Maxwell's door and confronts Maxwell ?: Wilson replaces Maxwell on the Nightmare Throne, Maxwell becomes Waxwell. ?: Some other crazy stuff happens that we haven't told you about yet.... ?: The DST plotline begins.

One of the secret message was "a new reign", which I assume is lore related, not hinting at an in-game update (or at least I hope). Kevin recently gave us a timeline, where he mentioned that it's canon that Wilson eventually goes through Maxwell's door, confronts him and replaces him on the throne. I think this gif is meant to hint at their protagonist/antagonist conflict, and right now, neither is winning or losing. The last major puzzle that announced DST actually gave us some lore. Wilson has used his knowledge of Maxwell's door against him, and after he figured out how to travel across the different planes of the DS world and work together with people, Wilson and Maxwell were suddenly on equal footing. I'm guessing this mini puzzle and the last mini puzzle (the one where we were presented with Maxwell and Charlie's items) are hinting that Klei is soon going to be filling in the gaps of the timeline where Kevin said crazy things happened, things they haven't told us about yet.

Thank you so much! Watch out for more art in the future. Two dimensions is so basic

I love your stuff! Especially your paintings. You rock at traditional art.
