Though so much Lovecraftian-Type lore for stories has come out lately, it might warrant for a lot to be combined.

I never thought of them being on the same timeline. In case anyone is unfamiliar with Darkest Dungeon characters, here: An extremely alluring idea, especially considering how disappointing a child Wilson would be to those two PTSD-ridden people who are SO DONE with forbidden knowledge, but they'd probably be of more the age of grandparents maybe, since Wilson would be born in the late 19th century. Someone on the Thursday stream, when I mentioned this last, said that they like to think that the Plague Doctor and the Highwayman are actually Wilson's parents. DD is around the late 18th or early 19th century, and DS is early 20th, so it's not like the timelines interrupt each other at all. Both games feature power- and knowledge-hungry men messing around with evil, otherworldly, and Lovecraftian forces and ruining everything, and I think there's enough time between the events for the same mistakes to be made again. I don't really have an actual theory other than Red Hook and Klei seem to be buds kinda so MAYBE ONE DAY. Now they just sit in a box in his parents' attic. Until he got too academic for that stuff. Or maybe DD is fiction in the DS universe, and Wilson had the whole collection of pulpy, serialised novels when he was a teen.

The drawing's pretty small, so it's hard to tell. If DD had novels and stage plays based off of it (similar to how Shakespeare's plays were often based off of history), the Plague Doctor and Highwayman would be kid Wilson's heroes, probably. Not that Wilson would get tattoos of a historical event, but it's not like Wilson would be tattooed at all, so. Besides, I like to theorise that DD and DS actually take place in the same universe. I see a Darkest Dungeon reference on his arm.Īll of his tattoos are Darkest Dungeon themed! Since so many tattoo sleeves feature skulls and/or nautical stuff, I decided to just go with it.
