^^ When I referred to my headcanons as "stubborn" then I meant stubborn in the sense of "My + other people's headcanons I favour over canon, and can't stand to have people make fans adapt their ideas to the canon at all costs." while my own headcanons and AUs sometimes (actually often) tend to have different variation-options avaible too, especially when I see ideas from someone else or something I particular like in canon I often include it or a reference / something based on it in an AU of my AU / headcanon. (for example I loved the addition of the "small ghosts" in DST so much that I made an AU of my headcanon that included a [particially dark realism] specific reason for them being there while also including them in a different variation of a headcanon with a less dark tone to it.)

Boy! I got the perfect mod for you! https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2039181790&searchtext=uncomp

Thanks I was almost going to redraw it from my memory to illustrate what image I meant but having someone else do that (especially maybe with DS characters and their arm carry thing) sounds even better xD This memory of that old image from school times randomly came into my mind when looking at several three-arms-animations in spriter.

I understand that! I know most people have a "solid" image of the characters and universe, and solid headcannons in their mind, I'm a bit more flexible. It depends on the story, sometimes I will portray Wes as selective mute, sometimes as just a silly mime who doesn't want to speak, sometimes I portray his relationship with Maxwell as cute and nice, sometimes as complicated... It really depends on the story! I like to play with different scenarios in my writing and art, and I do what's more convenient.

I'm going to draw that.

A New Reign & Return of Them, the first to content arcs of DST. Winona's alignment skills are weird. She's the only one that doesn't have them be mutually exclusvive, and the only one that doesn't have them locked behind Fuelweaver/Celestial champion iirc. It's meant to reflect the fact that Winona's connection with Wagstaff/Charlie exists beyond ambition. The fact that most of the skills are locked behind Shadow seeker 2 is a gameplay concession - Alignment skills are some of the most powerful and letting Winona have access to both probably isn't a good idea. Shadow Seeker 1 is Charlie wanting to test Winona, to see how far she's willing to go to find Charlie, shadow seeker 2 is Charlie realizing and accepting Winona's determination. Compare the descriptions:

@Dr.Webber must be a new reign / return of them

Makes sense also, isn’t it weird that takes both sheer skills for that to go on to effect Especially since show seeker one is a nothing burger or you get a temporary bridge in between small gapsand a few examine certain things you got some nightmare fuel also what is ANR/ROT

In that case we meant the same thing with selective mute, good to know, since I often seem to missunderstand terms when their meaning is similar to something else. About the french speaking making him mainly communicate with other characters capable of that language, this is exactly what I meant to describe when I thought that in the rare cases Wes does speak verbally that he would likely do so in french or when speaking non-verbally either in mime-language or SLF. I also had Maxwell, Wickerbottom (it would feel weird to me if she didn't know french), and Warly in mind. I just mentioned Warly in particular since he's the most obvious one who could be a conversation partner for Wes in that case. Sorry on the other thing that I thought you meant that headcanon of yours for Wes being more then just an intense mime being in general and not just to make your fanart easier to understand for the reader. It's giving the game-logic some practical use for your comics which is a good way to include the "mime-speech" and give it a "real life" reason. I am different in there that I see everything mostly from my headcanons pov even when they are completely different from the fandoms canon. My mind basically works in AU form so much I ignore the canon a lot in all of my fandoms. (though I never would want the canon to change, I just value my imagination more and only extremly seldomly adapt it even when its no or flawd logic. In general I am in every fandom this stubborn weirdo with the mostly illogical / au non-conformist headcanons or with headcanons that are either based on my specific kind of humour or some realism that I can't stop clinging to.) So it's often difficult for me to distinguish other people's headcanons / au-stuff they use for their art and their relationship to the fandom's creators canon.

It's difficult for certain, because pretty much everything was open to interpretation. It makes sense that different people would read the scene differently, but I can only give my interpretation. As Charlie attacking Winona... My interpretation of events is that Charlie initially wanted to cut ties with Winona, hence the stageplay I referenced earlier. As the queen of the constant she wanted to believe she was above attachment, which is why she still attacks Winona. However, Winona's determination to find her sister, characterized by taking the Shadow seeker skills, forces Charlie to accept she can't ignore the part of her that cares, hence her giving Winona a fragile rose, and not attacking her in the dark. tldr: she was in denial during ANR/ROT

@gronkjuice thats awesome, I'd love to see a picture of your ranch. I am thinking of ranching all the new critters in my next run. Thanks!

(Ohh I replied to your comment but my comment disappeared sorry if it duplicates, I just can't find it) Yeah! People who are selective mute are usually neurodivergent (ex. Autistic people) or people who had gone through trauma, they can't speak even though they don't have any physical impediment. But they might speak in very specific situations or with people they are very close with! Honestly, I don't think Wes is mute (physical or psychological), I think it's the same case as Wigfrid, he is just very dedicated to his mime role, that's why he doesn't talk. But I add the stuff about him being selective mute in my stories (comics or fanfics) to make it a bit more "realistic" and dramatic. I also add him speaking in ASL sometimes to make it easier for the readers to understand! Also, another thing! If he only speaks in french, Maxwell might be one of the people who understands him. There's a few quotes that he says popular french sayings (his quote for Bubble Pipe Carving and the burnt mush lamp), and his quote for Le Chat Noir poster in Hamlet, that implies he had been to France before. If he had been in France, it makes sense that he might speak at least a bit of basic French! So if Wes can't speak English, he might be able to communicate with Warly, Maxwell and Wickerbottom maybe. (I add Wickerbottom here, since she's very smart, she might be able to speak other languages).

I Thought they were switching so much that the rate of them switching synchronized infuse them into one If Charlie loves her Why would it take that? Also, I came up with my own theory for why she killed you that would actually make sense for shadow aligned player as well I think death has lost its meaning to her due to the canonical continuous reviving of the players likely due to the fact at the constant is constant and she’s just being cheeky Except maybe Maxwell although I think she still cares about him I think she holds a bit of resentment

Honestly before playing as Wicker I didnt saw anything that level of weird too, but here we are xD

crabking is still the kind of "i dont want to fight this thing ever" even after his rework...thats what i was able to see there

I have never seen this happen before. - I've never seen healing persist after the ice arena breaks - I've never seen the ice arena break altogether after the ice phase so quickly and all at once I've fought crab king dozens of time. I would hazard to guess that the bees might be breaking the fight, but that's just my opinion.

That's not really quite my way of doing things to share them just for the sake of spreading stuff. But I sure may mention it when the situation makes me think about it.

I have another idea but it requires graphics XD Thx for mentioning me btw, I love to have a hand in making cool stuff and I'm happy to throw ideas at u all day! Like why do we not have any better ways to dispense water? I just built ma spaceship and wanted to be able to water the plants while in space, but it's just not really feasible.. I've got tonnes of mods already and can build a bottle filler that would get the job done, but the thing is HUGE compared to the interior of a space ship like 3x3 tiles or something and has to be built on solid ground. A 1-2 tile tall plumbed water dispenser would be pretty killer Like a classic 2 tile high by 1 tile wide free-standing drinking fountain, or a single tile wall-mounted drinking fountain they could either drink from or pull water from, or just like a garden hose outlet that takes up 1 tile on ground level and causes them to spill a lil water each time they use it, idk anything small, even low-tech would be great! With this new frosty DLC mechanic mildly crippling dupes until they find a source of warmth, perhaps some new systems of personal heating might be called for too? Like efficient on-call ones, that don't have to warm an entire room constantly, that only switch on when a dupe needs to use it? There used to be the Blowdryer Mod, which dupes could pass like a sink and remove their unhappy moistness that I feel could be quite retro-fittable if you felt like and knew how to decompile stuff, or wanted to recreate it. The original dev said he lost his sauce code and wasn't gonna do anything with it years ago if I remember correctly, so I think it's free game and would be a very nice addition, that dupes could run to and switch on to warm up and/or dry off, in addition to the original functionality of using it if wanted when happening by.

A nice idea, so if I understood right, you also think that Wes would /theoretically/ be able to speak but he turns mute based on e.g. stress situations? ( I think he could theoretically speak as there is /in-theory/ dialogue for his soliquoly on the Charlie stage and it is in french. First I thought Wes maybe didn't understand / speak a different language than french and therefore didn't speak but then he seems to understand the others perfectly well or else doesn't just "only" talk specifically in french with Warly, so I also moved on to the headcanon that Wes doesn't speak for e.g. emotional reasons / stress response and in other situations because he wants to stay inside his mime role [could be coping additionally to an artistic expression] ) (I may have missunderstood the term selective mute though, but if we mean the same thing then it sounds like particially the same idea as why I think he stays mute) I like the detail that you make him speak American sign language occasionally in consideration to his fellow survivors mostly being from the american continent while I would have expected him to use the LSF. (though he may have been taught ASL maybe? Maybe ASL is also similar enough, I don't know. Just a thought of mine as I consider adjusting my headcanon to him knowing ASL too, so far I only thought of him using the french one.)

Maybe some tools here would work on Arch If not you can always run a virtual machine

are you sure there's only one file calling that?

Ya. it's very weird. I got rid of the one file in my mod calling that and the crash still happened. It's fine though, thank you very much for all your help!

As soon as I posted this I got my first gold meteors in about 150 turns. Why....

Yes i understand that but the whole temperature exchange mechanic have been, at least partially, reworked. I'd like to see if bug get rejected or not since the intended behavior, at least to me, isn't crystal clear. Even if it was intended mechanic someone would hope that with new toasty surrounding debuff we could at least get some grace while being touched for a split second by a mildly hot fart Cheers
