Disclaimer: This thread was made to see your thoughts and theories and your rambles about the lore in DST, not to bore you with rambling This thread is sectioned in chapters but it isn't a story Now, let's begin! Chapter 1: Who is 'Them'? Of course most already know who/what Them is, me included, but my final thoughts lay in this chapter here. According to @Zeklo, Them isn't referred to as multiple nouns, but rather only 1 entity that we don't know the gender of. But, here's a quick speculation on one of Fuelweaver's quotes. "Return them to me!" You see, them doesn't have a capital T, like Them actually does. So, who/what is the sussy baka referring to? It could be who we're bringing back from the sealed portal? Is it, the ancients perhaps? The Lunar power that stabilizes the Gateway? Perhaps it could be alive? Alter's Power? Metheus? The list could go on forever, but I'm sus of that quote, who could he possibly want returned? But, I have a belief, Them is The Moon, otherwise known as Alter, because (according to @Hornete in one of my threads) we see in the game codes for Eye of the Storm, 'Alter Awake', so, we know the moon is Alter, but is Alter known as Them, or They? You never know, it could be YEARS and YEARS from now when Klei reveals these secrets. Moving on... Chapter 2: Who could Metheus be? We know Metheus has to be a part of the lore, especially considering Fuelweaver mentions them in some of his quotes when deactivating the Gateway. In the Metheus Puzzle, your rewards are an Ancient Cane and an Ancient King's chest, but, what do those have to do with Metheus if Klei mentioned (in a dev stream) that Metheus is FEMALE? So, Metheus is a female, but, who could that female be? It can't be Charlie, unless her Shadow Half has something to do with Metheus. Could it be the Torch Bearer that appears within the Metheus Puzzle? Possibly, since the Fuel won against that entity, she would be long gone for the Fuelweaver to worry about her or stuff. More speculations will be made when I can make them up in this thread... What are your thoughts?

Something I find especially interesting to think about when it comes to Don't Starve and it's lore is how the organisms in the constant work and what secrets may be hidden behind them. Something I've noticed in particular is that there are a lot of critters that are fusions of different animals found in the normal world, like catcoons, moosegoose, etc. And for a while I thought that was just a silly fun gimmick, but when Webber's animated short came out I couldn't help but wonder if there was maybe some sort of dark force that was taking overworld organisms and fusing them with one another to make entirely new species. Because while before his short Webber was implied to just straight up be eaten by the spider, but when you take a closer look it seems more like they fused. Which honestly makes more sense in the grand scheme of things. So what if Webber just met the same fate that other creature's like the catcoon met? And what about the other fauna and flora that aren't necessarily fusions? I think that the constant has been sucking in all kinds of things long before Maxwell was even like, born, and all those critters adapted into the constant, often into weird monsters because of magic being like, a part of it's ecosystem. I know that was a lot of rambling and likely didn't make much sense but does anyone have any thoughts about this idea they want to share?
