Hi, I don't have much to say besides that I'm glad my hunch the Bendy in clothes merch meant toon Bendy will appear was right. Also happy the theory of Henry being perfect/toon Bendy is picking up steam with the trailer. I can't wait to watch a playthrough when the game drops~

[inkwelldevil]

Update

Ultimately gave up finding an exact replacement and settled for just buying squeakers and a regular plush. I of course accidentally sent the plush to the wrong address AGAIN, but I’ll be there soon enough with a squeaker on hand. It  sounds even closer to the game’s version, so I’m excited by the prospect. I’ll post the result if my plush literal plastic surgery when it’s done.

[inkwelldevil]

Update: Nope, no squeakers. T_T

My Bendy Plush Got Stolen....

So I'm really upset and trying to find another just like it with a squeaker.

If anyone has an official plush with a squeaker they are willing to sell, please hit me up in my messages because I've had no luck so far finding another with a squeaker. ><;

We'll talk about prices there. Thank you.

[inkwelldevil]

Finally located the amazon seller name to message. Here's hoping they still have ones with squeakers.

[inkwelldevil]

I appreciate the link, but that review dates to early 2018, and even in between not everyone got a squeaker version. I'll need to figure out how to message the seller to ask if they still have any squeaker versions in stock.

Thank you again though!

Oh hey, for once one of the posters got a full short. XD

Help, it’s too cute.

Hello, question concerning your Amazon Abomination comic Verse: What do you would have happened, if Henry stayed? I don't think it would've changes mich in the whole creating live thing and Joeys growing Obsession with it, but what would've happened to Henry?

Lemme clear something up - Abomination is nothing else but an interpretation of what in my opinion has happened in the studio. In the beginning, I wanted to make it a thing focusing on Joey and Bendy only but then I started getting more and more ideas which made me figure out a way to tell the whole story (in the way I see it at least).

At first I wanted to shortly answer “there would be no Abomination lol” but then I gave it some thinking and… get ready for an essay:

What would happen if Henry didn’t leave the studio?

I believe we have an answer for this concerning just Henry himself in the game.And it’s not a pleasant one.

“Local Artist Pushed Himself Too Hard, Found Dead At Desk”. I mean that’s basically what staying would mean for Henry - pushing harder.

I don’t think this newspaper is telling us what happened to Henry Stein, I got that impression the moment I saw the headline, but after a while, I realised it doesn’t really… make sense.

The whole point of Joey and Henry choosing two different roads is that Joey held onto working and creating while Henry chose family over work. (Even though Henry showed some signs of workaholism, I think Linda could be the one helping him choose what’s right and better for him - I mean why even mention and focus on her at any moment if she wasn’t important in any way?)Does that make sense? Make this whole “Henry chose the right path and didn’t push himself too hard” just to say that he pushed himself too hard in the end? Yeah, no, I’m not buying that. I mean it could be true but not really satisfying to me.

So I think it’s just a “what if”. What if he stayed.He would overwork himself.And since he would choose work over family then maybe he would lose Linda in the process, maybe not but either way their relationship wouldn’t be doing well.

Now let’s do a small comparison.

To me, Henry seems like a sorta passive person, especially with his “just keep drawing”. Don’t question anything, just keep doing what you do.On the other hand, we have Joey who is like “just do whatever it is you do and trust me as your leader”.

This is… a really bad mix.Even worse when you take into consideration that they are friends. And you are willing to push yourself harder for someone like that. For a friend.

Since we already are going kind of against Henry’s character by assuming he wouldn’t leave, we might as well assume he wouldn’t really change the way he’s working. He would keep pushing, just as Joey wants him to and as an old man thinks would magically fix everything but… no, I honestly doubt that.

I don’t think studio’s successes/failures depended on Henry either, he was one amazing animator, we can surely give him that (it took a few people to replace him), but Joey still managed to (temporarily) succeed without him.

I honestly doubt the debt the studio was later in could be easily fixed by one person. Maybe Joey would listen to Henry more than other people (like Grant, his goddamn accountant), but the thing is that at some point they were successful and well things often rely on luck, economy and stuff like that, so many ideas could have seemed fine until things weren’t really fine. I mean Great Depression made some people really rich and some really poor, it was really tricky to make financial decisions.Plus - Henry is passive. He just keeps drawing.Joey believes Henry would push him to do the right thing, maybe he would try but then again - Henry ends up overworking himself, so in the end, it’s almost as if he just left.Can’t really push if you’re dead.

So we actually end up with a similar set up to what we have in the original story.

The only exception is that we could have a 6th labelled coffin. With Henry’s name on it. So it could somehow go even more unpleasant from now. How? Oh, it’s pretty simple:

…kind of. As Henry would die from overworking himself and wouldn’t be actually… killed. But still, there is something which I think is worth noting.

It seems to me as if the inkwell is associated with Henry. I mean if any of the items was associated with him, it would be this one and no one from the workers doesn’t really fit (except for Joey, but “The Illusion of Living” fits him waaay better for obvious reasons). Also, let’s assume here that the items are connected to actual workers because they could just represent something else, but in this interpretation, I take them this way. I think I should elaborate a bit on how I see it works, which I actually did include in Abomination:

I did some math. And I don’t like it.

We have 14 characters: Joey, Henry, Wally. Thomas, Sammy, Norman, Jack, Johnny, Susie, Allison, Shawn, Grant, Lacie, Bertrum.(I’m going to aggressively count Johnny even if it’s not his name because the organ moans in pain and there has got to be someone in it and I like things making sense in the game, even if it’s just a reference to something else.)

6.

12 (next to Norman’s and Grant’s there is an unlabeled coffin).

Another unlabeled one in that hallway after you exit Allison’s and Tom’s safehouse. So 13…

14.

Now, I’m not counting this one:

As it’s not a physical coffin, only a drawn one. It’s another symbol of death and death is connected to Henry a lot.

(The last one could be just referring to the ink as in the Ink Machine or to the inkwell, or maybe even to both, who knows.)

But the best/worst is:

The actual offering has a skull and crossed bones on it.Ink = death.Scythe being a “reward” for not dying a single time and killing everyone on your way. And activating all the flashbacks which help Henry realise he’s in a cartoonish loop. By entering the death tunnel on purpose. When Henry is most lucid.“You bring death”.And, heck, even him playing “The End” and setting everyone free (by playing “The End” and in some ways killing everyone in the studio) is something death-connected.

Whatever the symbolism is, let’s go with the inkwell being an offering connected to Henry’s soul.

Also, let’s go back to the number 14.

Workers with coffins: Norman, Grant, Bertrum, Lacie, Susie.

Workers with offerings: Henry (inkwell), Joey (book), Shawn (doll), Sammy (record), Thomas (gear), Wally (wrench).

Workers without labelled coffins nor offerings: Allison, Jack, Johnny.

Unlabeled coffins: 3.

What made me start thinking deeper about this is the fact that none of the workers has both a coffin and an offering.Also an interesting thing with how… corpses in the game act:

workers with coffins: Norman/The Projectionist, Susie/Alice - corpses don’t disappear (hard to tell what’s with Grant and Lacie as we can’t be sure of their fates and Bertrum is an octopus ride but his head doesn’t seem to go anywhere)

workers with offerings: Joey/The Ink Demon, Sammy/The Prophet, Wally/Boris - corpses sort of disintegrate/vanish? (except for Sammy in the searcher form but yeah he is a searcher which work differently, again we don’t know Shawn’s fate and Thomas/Tom didn’t die in-game)

the rest: Allison doesn’t die in-game, neither does Johnny (lmao imagine killing the organ) but Jack is crushed by a box and we can’t really tell what happens to his body but… his hat stays

other deaths: Searchers - they go back to the puddles, same with the Swollen Ones and the Lost Ones buuuuuuuuuuut!

the Butcher Gang - corpses don’t vanish but sort of? collapse? which is confusing (in a way Grant, Shawn and Lacie’s fates are so they aren’t necessarily crossed out of being at least some of the Butcher Gang members)

So the thing I think is that while not everyone was sacrificed, Joey still has some control over their souls. Or, if you please

owns.

And let me tell ya seeing as older, slightly more rationally thinking Joey still was playing with Henry’s soul making him go in an endless loop, leaves me with zero doubt that he would play with it 30 years earlier.I mean the inkwell has always been included in the packet. ;)And definitely Henry’s death would impact Joey, but I’m afraid…

…nothing good would come out of it.

[inkwelldevil]

I was just wondering, if Bendy is ever given a sequel how in your opinion would that game better further build upon the characters' stories and relationships and what would be the perfect ending?

Depends what theMeatly has planned. If it’s a spin-off, we’d probably just be getting more info on what the toons were like BINR style. If it’s a sequel I’d like to see Joey fleshed out further. And maybe answer a few question Chapter 5 left open. Perfect ending would be Henry gets out of that freaking time loop. Someone please let that poor old man rest.

[inkwelldevil]

Now I need to know if the game changes at all if you play with this filter on.

So, let’s talk about this video!

First: While it’s good to wait for official confirmation, there is no reason to believe this is fake - the info for this was first data mined over on the Reddit, and the Reddit also has more info on how to perform this yourself. Likewise, a few people have tested and verified it. (The emoji at the beginning is explained in the comments - this person was messing with textures earlier.)

So while this might seem complex, I don’t think it is. First, the scythe:

Why a scythe? Because in order to do this ending, you have to kill… a lot. The Butcher Gang, The Projectionist, Bertrum, Boris… and Sammy, for the third time. Note also that you yourself need to not die.

Why is Sammy a Searcher now? Because Searchers are dead cartoons. They can’t die permanently, so their souls return to the puddles and manifest as Searchers.

You kill but cannot be killed. In other words… you’re now BATIM’s Grim Reaper, complete with cool black axe.

Note also how killing Sammy triggers a flash - once again proving that the flashes are flashbacks to previous events. More importantly, one of the requirements you need for this ending is to trigger all of these flashbacks. This means that at this point Henry’s remembered almost everything that’s happened before - or at least, the most important stuff. He’s starting to get his memories back.

Which leads us into this…

This ink? It’s actually nothing special - because it’s the same ink-portal you respawn out of whenever you die.

This is not a new experience for Henry - it’s just him rediscovering the truth about who (or what) he is. Which leads us to the end result…

Everything is now in black and white instead of sepia.

I’ve heard people argue that this is somehow Henry turning to a cartoon… but that doesn’t make any sense. As far as we’re currently aware, none of the dialogue changes with this filter - meaning that everyone still recognizes him as Henry. Doesn’t really make sense if he no longer looks like himself, and that’s not bringing up the technical questions, such as why he didn’t need to go through the Ink Machine. And, once again, he’s been through that ink portal dozens of times. That’s not what’s causing the change here. So what is so special?

Well…. it’s a filter. The same filter that causes your flashbacks, just in black-and-white like a cartoon. And keep in mind that at this point Henry has A) remembered everything he can about the loop and B) has actively traveled and been reinkcarnated through the ink. He can’t pretend he’s human anymore.

The filter isn’t because Henry’s an Ink Creature now. The filter is there because Henry’s now realized he always has been.

TL;DR: Scythe is due to the high kill amount (grim reaper). Sammy Searcher is because that’s what happens to Ink Creatures when they die - their souls are trapped in the puddles.

Henry has to regain all his memories (flashbacks) and be reborn through the ink before getting the filter - because this beginning is him starting off now knowing he is, and always has been, an Ink Creature.

Bendy’s Ending is Purposefully Uncertain

So In regards to what I said about my thoughts on Chapter 5, which can be found here. I want to further ramble a bit on why I think it’s impossible to be sure of the “real” ending to Bendy and the Ink Machine.

Just real quick beforehand: I refer a lot to the concept of the “real world” within this. Unless I specifically mention the universe of Bendy and the Ink Machine right after, I mean our physical world, in which you all exist, and not the fictional supposed “real world” of Bendy.

I think it’s likely that they were also lured to the studio initially like Henry was. So technically they didn’t die. If Henry possibly got turned into a special ink creature, then it’s not too far a stretch to think Allison and Tom (and possibly Wally) were also turned and then trapped in that loop. They can’t leave because Joey does not allow them to leave. Henry however is meant to keep repeating everything until he gets it “right” for Joey.

tbh an interpretation ive found that i think is both possible and avoids being 'made up' is while it is a story, joey still physically made it real. while the people there arent actually the original people, they have the memories and feelings the originals did, and the experience is still real, its just being used as a story by joey. while its all technically 'made up,' the events are still real to a degree in that joey made it exist irl, its both a story but physically real, and is a loop

Tbh that’s what I’ve been thinking. For example.. Evil Alice Angel is obviously Susie Campbell at this point.

But by using the Magic Mirror Seeing Tool Thing you’ll be able to tell that the coffin in the ink lake (just before Alice’s torture room) has Susie’s name on it. So this could mean her body may be dead but her soul (and thus her memories) is still lingering within Evil Alice. She is technically dead but at the same time she isn’t? If that makes any sense. And the same thing can be said for any of the characters.

The only part of that theory that confuses me is Allison Angel and Tom Boris.. We never actually see their (Allison’s and Thomas’) coffins anywhere and yet..

[inkwelldevil]

I honestly would like to see some more discussion on why Sammy was talking to Henry as though he were Bendy. I’m trying to gather my thoughts in a way that isn’t overly speculative right now, but I want to see more of what people think.

[inkwelldevil]

I would say grandchild because the way Joey phrased things suggest Henry had a kid/kids not long after he left so any children born then would be an adult by this point. Unless we’re going with Henry didn’t have a kid until he and his wife were middle-aged but again, the way Joey said it suggests he started a family not long after leaving the studio.

Bendy and the Ink Machine ENDING: EXPLAINED

I’ve seen a few theories floating around about the ending to BATIM.  And while I do agree with a few of them… I’m a bit of a geek when it comes to story analysis, and certain pieces haven’t been adding up.

So I thought about it… and thought about it.  And thought some more.  And I believe I have come up with a decent working theory which covers almost all plot threads (that I am aware of) of Bendy and the Ink Machine.

OBVIOUSLY, SPOILERS BELOW THE CUT.

I think this is all a good plausible take except fro the fact Henry mentions Linda in the his tape that he recorded early in the studio’s founding, which would be about 30 years before the start of the game. In other words, I highly doubt Linda is Henry’s daughter (I think she’s more likely to be his wife) and that kid at the end definitely is not Linda if we’re assuming that final scene was after Henry went through the door yet again.

Personally, I think the kid could be Henry’s granddaughter. The timeline would fit better, and honestly Uncle is a common honorific for close male family friends. I have a slightly different interpretation of what happened to Henry. Personally I think he had initially visited the studio for real and then became trapped in the loop, probably also changed into an ink version of himself somewhere along the way.

Meanwhile, Joey probably reported him missing and inserted himself into Henry’s family’s life. He did seem to envy Henry for them after all in addition to blaming Henry for all his problems. So it seems likely to me that the time loop is Joey simultaneously tormenting Henry until he figures out how to somehow erase Joey’s sins AND taking Henry’s family for his own in a way.
