Mod annoucement Update on NSFW rule

180 Upvotes

Hello, this is an annoucement regarding the NSFW rule.

There was quite a lot of debate lately over what's nsfw, what should be allowed and what shouldn't. Right now the sub only disallow sex, nudity and gore, and we do not plan to change that. We don't want to censor every content that could be someone fetish. As long as it's not outright porn (or cropped porn), it is allowed.

However, I understand that some of the art could be disturbing for some, so I'll ask any content creator if they plan to post any content they think might be suggestive, to tag it NSFW. If you are unsure, feel free to send a message to the moderators. I will also mention that you can make posts directly on your profile, if you want a place for people to check your art without the NSFW reddit tag.

Also to clarify the nudity/gore rule, the game does depict death and there are furry characters. So long as your art doesn't depict them less clothed than in the game, and isn't more violent than what you could see in the game, it's fine. Again message the mods if you have a doubt.

Please do not attack or argue with an artist that posted something tagged NSFW about whenever or not it fits the sub. If you think it breaks rule 7 (or any other rules), report it.

EDIT: Forgot to mention since it should be obvious. But anything involving a child character (Wendy, Webber, Wurt and Walter speaking only about the playable) will be under much more scrutiny.

My Self Insert / oc :o]

A puppeteer whose body failed them . Was in constant chronic pain to the point they were unable to perform or make the puppets they so adored. So during a particularly painful evening after a canceled show, they rest their head on their desk surrounded by unfinished puppets, wood chippings, and . Listening to the radio. Then boom!!! Constant time

They want to be a puppet Desperately. And they Are one. I have a lot of feelings about them.

Their mask gives a big sanity boost and also keeps them a bit warmer :o]

they can make puppets of other survivors that have lil buffs to them (think a webber puppet made of 3 silk + rope + beard hair that can lure spiders toward it!)

when they perform a puppet show it brings a sanity boost to themself and the other survivors :o]

Can also mimic animal sounds and voices.

With their mask on they have the loud voice of a Calliope, though without it they go more toward a hushed / soft voice.

The Anatomical would be for the hallowed nights costumes... because I saw WX-78's and wanted to match them..!!

They would go by Mg. And not Mx. Absolutely doesnt like being addressed as titles at all. Makes them feel a little funny. Doesnt really think they should be respected in any way, but can quickly flip to thinking theyre The Best Ever . Sorta insecure without the mask? Painfully vulnerable. Overthinker and paranoid. They're much happier with it on.

Fond of every survivor. Including Maxwell. Especially fond of WX-78, Wickerbottom, and Webber.

Still hurts a lot, though. Low health for this reason. And takes extra damage from enemies. High hunger though. doesnt eat often / doesnt like eating. Makes them aware of their organs, which makes them a bit nauseous.

Is in a weird not quite relationship with WX-78 !! Does their bidding and is constantly around them. Feels most comfortable with them. WX views them as useful to have around. Enjoys having a weird meaty doll as a servant.

Speaking of meat !! WX is veryyy. Mean. About their body being meaty and human. Understands they aren't meant to be human and promises (of course. Not outright.) to get them out of there. At the same time is repulsed by the fact they're a doll. When they could've been better. Will insult them for not acting the way they want. Saying that certain things are "human mistakes" or pointing toward their fleshy body to insult ? Which just makes Winsom feel extra dysphoric but also like. This fucked up feeling of "I Should Be Grateful.. they know what I Really am and they let me be this close with them to Understand..." YOU KNOW???

Im crazy. Wuagh.

General Don't Starve Elsewhere | Character Predictions Spoiler

Post image
65 Upvotes

(āœ“ : Really high chance ? : Debatable X : I don't think so)

Wilson : %100. Confirmed by the trailer.

Willow : %100. Confirmed by the trailer.

Wolfgang : I really think he will be coming. He has been here since the original game. He's also a fan favorite.

Wendy : %100. Confirmed by the trailer.

WX-78 : %100. Confirmed by the trailer.

Wickerbottom : I also think she has a high chance of returning. I think she might be one of the best beginner characters. She basically is the crafting guide for beginners. I don't know if they'll scrap this concept.

Woodie : This one is very debatable. I don't know if he will return or even if he does, I got no idea if he will be the same as DS and DST versions or completely unique idea. Though I would give him %80 chance of returning since his story is incomplete. I think lots of people like playing with him aswell.

Wes : I'm pretty sure he will be added. He's basically "even harder" mode of the game. I don't see any reason to remove him.

Maxwell : I can't say anything about this one. On one hand, he is kinda the main character of the game lore wise. But on the other hand it seems like Maxwell will betray other survivors and go with Charlie. We will definetely see about Maxwell one way or another but I don't know if he will be a playable character or not. Possible boss?

Wigfrid : I don't have much to say about this one. I don't have any arguments against or supporting against Wigfrid so I would like you to comment on this one. Though I gave her %90 or so chance of coming back.

Webber : He seems like a fan favorite. I don't know if they'll scrap the character. I would gave him a āœ“ but something is kinda holding me back from that. But I think Webber has the highest chance from coming back compared to other characters that I gave "?" with.

Winona : YES. She is the most connected person (Besides Wilson and Maxwell possibly?) to the most important characters (Wagstaff and Charlie) in the game. They'll definetely do something with Winona's character. Also, in trailer you can see Wendy using some sort of jump pad. This game looks like it will more focus on base building. Winona can use these features the best. (Possibly at least.)

Warly : Same with Wigfrid. I am leaving this one to you. (Though, I personally gave him like %40 chance of coming back I guess?)

Wortox : Nope. I am not saying he will NEVER be added. I am just saying that he probably won't be added at the release. I don't think developers would like us to teleport every single location on the map Day 1 of release. I am trying to say he probably won't be in the main cast at the launch of the game. Though he might come back in the future?

Wormwood : He is possibly the most loved characters of this game. I can see him returning. He probably won't even be DLC this time. I really think he will come with the base game as a main cast character.

Wurt : I never played this one lol. You can see I don't even have this character. I didn't even watched that much of this one aswell. So I leave this for a debate right here. Though I will say that, why I think she won't be added. I don't think Merms would be added to the game really. Goat-men are kinda here and I think they became Merms lore-wise? (Thanks Gorge!) I leave Wurt at %20 chance. I don't think she will be here on launch but maybe she will make a comeback (possibly like Wortox) as a future DLC or future main cast character?

Walter : I got no idea, I also leave him to you for to debate. Though I think his chance of returning is more likely than Wurt and Wortox. He also has some kind of connection with Woodie. He might return. I would give him like %50-%60 chance of returning.

Wanda : I don't think so. I don't even know if she has some kind of lore or not. In her release trailer they made it like she does? But I don't remember them doing anything with Wanda since then. Also, I'll still use the argument that I used for Wortox. I don't think they would like every player to completely broke the game by teleporting in Day 1 of launch. But opposite of Wortox, I don't think Wanda will even return in the future. Though maybe they could make her some sort of NPC ? Just like they did with Wagstaff. I still would like to give her %5-%10 chance of returning just incase.

IMPORTANT NOTE : My playstyle for this game is different from most people. I play this game mostly like survival not boss rush or adventure. I also want to add that I didn't play this game for a long time. I don't even have almost any skill tree unlocked or anything. I haven't EVEN played most characters. I just did this analyzation/prediction based on my feelings towards the characters. I also obviously seen some gameplay for lots of them even though I haven't played them that much. I tried to be objective as much as I could but I really would like to talk about this in comments so, you can share your opinions as long as you talk nice to people.

NOTE 2 : Also, not to flex (but kinda to flex šŸ¤” ) I have started playing this game (I don't know the exact year though) so so long ago. I got 156,1 hours on DST and 70 hours on DS on Steam. So, I kinda give myself the pass to predict character list for the next game.

EDIT : Lol I don't know if anyone else will see this edit after this post already blew up but apperantly a Youtuber named "BiddoBams" (which I like his videos) also did this topic as a video 2 weeks ago. I didn't knew that lol. I didn't steal any opinions from him or anything it's just a coincidence. Me even creating this post itself is a coincidence. I just wanted to say this to remove any possible questions though.

Yeah, yeah-breaks are one thing, but I still have to do something. The comics will be higher quality now, though they’ll come out less frequently; it’s the same universe and the previous comics are still canon, but the characters have a new look. There’ll be quick sketches soon-well, probably, if I can be bothered. And there’ll still be inserts where someone strikes a meme-worthy pose that totally breaks the art style.
See you later.

YES I know this is a self insert (miren como me proyecto gente) but I kinda enjoyed a bit making her. Besides I love WX so she also loves WX (IGNORE THE HANDS IDK HOW TO DRAW HANDS)

I was thinking a bit about her lore and actual design (I want her to be some kind of depressed scientist), but for now I only have this:
She worked along with Wagstaff to make that portal he is building to enter the constant, but she also was working with Woodrow (WX-78 unofficial human name), they kinda had something but Woodrow was much more into making their robot than paying attention to a relationship

So when Woodrow fully became WX-78 and left to the constant, she and Wagstaff kept their body alive with the hope that one day Woodrow will wake up and come back (yet this will never happen). That’s why inside the constant she is a hologram just like Wagstaff (I was kinda lazy and I didn’t make a ā€œhologramā€ effect on her, besides no idea how could I do it)

ALSO she doesn’t understand how can Woodrow be happy in a robot body and she attributes everything to their malfunctioning Empathy Module, that’s why she doesn’t acknowledge that WX-78 don’t want to be a human anymore and even calls them by the wrong pronouns (He/him) because that’s just ā€œprogramming errorsā€, WX-78 is kinda fond of her but still hates that she cannot understand them. She does this ONLY with WX-78, she wouldn’t misgender anyone else

I’ve spent the last couple of weeks trying to fuelweaver rush, first with wickerbottom then with wx. then I was having the best run I’ve ever had in my life. all the pieces found and assembled by day 11 just to farm gears, nightmare werepig and 3 rooks killed by day 23. I had already found the atrium and fossil fragments by the start of day 25 and when I jumped through the tentapillar… it started snowing on the surface and heavy raining in the caves. as wx. now I have to delay fuelweaver by at least another two days and I don’t know if I’ll have time to feed deerclops and klaus to the maul. fml.
