The End
So uh
I'm archiving this account for now
I had a lot of fun but I can't muster anything for Corwin or Redacted right now.
However, I owe you guys more than just a goodbye, I owe you an ending.
So here it is:
Corwin was and always has been Redacted.
I never got around to solidifying really why or how it works (gameplay wise) but it's always been a meta thing. We as players choose if we're going to be a killer or survivor, and I thought that Corwin would be a reflection of that (however it's often against his will). It's also for the angst. More on this in a bit.
That being said, Redacted, while a fun name, isn't his proper killer name. You know how we call the Cannibal "Bubba" or Wraith "Bing Bong"? That's what Redacted is.
Redacted's killer name is The Survivor.
That's why this blog is called the-survivor-dbd. It was planned from the beginning. I just never got around to it (bc of work/school/pandemic).
Redacted also calls himself Neo, both to give himself humanity and out of respect for Corwin.
This is because:
Corwin doesn't remember anything while he's Redacted.
Redacted remembers everything Corwin does, mostly for angst reasons. Love your friends? Well now you have to kill them.
However, Corwin is aware of Redacted, aware of what he does, he just doesn't remember what happens when he's Redacted. It's akin to DID, with different personalities and separated memories. However, I hesitate to say what they have is actually DID due to the fact I don't have it and don't want to misrepresent it, and that Corwin didn't go through anything traumatic as a child. Redacted was made in the Fog and the memory loss if from the Entity.
Final notes from the mun:
I'm really sorry I never got around to finishing this story properly. I started this project when I was in a very different place in my life, both physically and (not emotionally but like... situationally???). Skip this part if you don't wanna get into the deets.
I was in Florida working for D*sney full time and didn't have any school or anything like that, so I had a lot of free time and wanted an outlet for drawing. When they kicked us out because of the pandemic, I went through a long period of time where I couldn't bring myself to draw or anything. The next semester was the worst semester I've had grade wise ever, so that didn't help.
2021 brought more art but no muse. Plus a six class semester, part time job, and family emergencies galore. It was hell.
I'd say new year new me and try again but I have my final semester of college this semester and I know if I tried again it would just die again and I wouldn't be able to continue.
To those who stayed, thanks.
If you have any questions about Corwin and The Survivor, my inbox is open!
And if you want any more Corwin/Redacted content, I might post some here in the future. I also have them on my Art Fight (PotatoGun13) as well as feature them as PNG avatars on my twitch (PotatoGun13).
Thanks for reading and being there,
Tate
