Outer Wilds Confessions

OUTER WILDS CONFESSIONS

Going hater mode for a second, I don't care as much as I pretend to:

I love the idea of some kind of "everybody lives" au where Hatchling is allowed to fly for some kind of group mission (restocking the lunar outpost or something?? Idk something where multiple people are needed) and does the most dangerous stunts and acts like their normal. Gossan is in the back clinging to whatever they can and just repeating "I didn't teach you this I didn't teach you this I didn't teach you this-"

I just remembered this because of watching a video about misconceptions from the game, but I first came across the three masks off the ATP through a projection when I did not know about the probe searching for the Eye of the Universe being connected to the third mask. At the time, I knew I was connected to one, and I knew that Gabbro was connected to one, so I thought that the third one was for Feldspar, and that it was related to his disappearance. I then also found Feldspar before finding out about the probe, but I didn't realize that discovering the Eye was what caused the statues to trigger, so I just thought he never came across a nomai statue. 😆

Kaepora should be more popular 😢😢😢

I NEVER realized there was a way to cook your marshmallow without burning it. I've probably spent like 40-50 hours in this game at least and I thought it was just a cool thing you could do that had no purpose other than making the game feel more homey. I am smart.

Hi same guy who sent the Cartoonist Esker hc a while back if anyone remembers that. Adding onto that - the idea of them illustrating books for the hatchlings. They draw fishes with pine needle skirts and lessons about fire safety. They can contribute a little bit to life in the village! That's the ask that's it

I don't have many voiceclaims for characters in Outer Wilds but one I do have is that Gabbro sounds like the singer for Yellowcard, specifically in the song Ocean Avenue. Because that's the only Yellowcard song I have ever listened to

When i first played i thought yarrow was a woman for some reason and when i found out he was with clary i got really really excited cause i thought there was nomai yuri. <- guy who hadnt found out about cassava + daz or that people shipped poke and pye

yay yipeee my owlk plush has arrived

I didn't realize eating marshmallows healed you until I was five hours into the game.

It took me embarrassingly long to realize that you can heal up and refuel in the ship...... And that it has an eject button

So this is a headcanon based on me just finishing the game for the first time while getting the Eye of the Universe ending. (Also, I'm the one with the Owlks not having verbal language headcanon, I'm just not anon this time.) I feel like when we're at that last campfire, the reason we can speak to and understand Solanum and The Prisoner is because whatever is allowing us to talk with our friends from the journey is also allowing us to understand, or match, the languages that they speak. A chance to say goodbye without needing a tool to communicate with them.

I headcanon that the Hearthians' different pairs of eyes do different things. The upper/bigger eyes focus mostly on motion and light, with less cones for color but more rods for light, while the smaller/lower eyes have more cones and fewer rods, leading to very bright color and day vision. (I don't know why they would have this evolutionarily, but then again I don't know why they'd have four eyes at all evolutionarily so.. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯)

Headcanon escall and solanum are related... not super closely, maybe like greatuncle/greatniece or like, grandparent's cousins or wateva. Symbolically itd be cool. Like Da Start and Da End.

I like to believe that so much of the Nomai tech usual visual movement because their third eye can move independantly. That way they can hold convos while looking at each other, keep tinkering etc all while opening doors and/or not bumping into things
