[BENDY AND THE DARK REVIVAL SPOILERS, if you don’t want spoilers turn back now !!]

DID ANYONE ELSE Pick up on how, at the end when Joey was talking all lovingly to Audrey, he was just actively Ignoring the Ink Demon, his First Creation that he cares negative about and considers “a monster” and “a mistake,” all while praising Audrey for being everything the Ink Demon wasn’t?? The creation that he actively neglected and looked down upon from .. creation??? For lack of better phrasing. THIS IS NOT A SLIGHT AT THE WRITING By the way, I think it helps exemplify the kind of person Joey Drew is (AND It gets Especially interesting if you choose to interpret the Ink Demon as a metaphor for all the people Joey Drew hurt along the way pursuing his folly, and how he feels they don’t need or deserve an apology from him, or even deserve the time of day. Chefs kiss)

#If the dimension of the studio itself is a metaphor for choosing the wrong path #then it makes sense for the Ink Demon to represent the consequences #IN WHICH CASE You should ideally try to right your wrongs #Even if they’re unforgivable #ESPECIALLY WITH THE WHOLE ‘’We may be born of darkness but we don’t need to belong from it’’ themes!!#belong to it* I am Not re-writing that tag y’all #Not a writing issue again. Just an example of Joey Drew skirting responsibility. Which I think is well done!#BUT #That detail was just very OUGH (affectionate)#the themes you can get out of the Ink Demon have always vibrated in me as a child of neglect/abuse #So if you follow my AO3 prepare for more soul-baring trauma-dumping fanfic #nic speaks #ALSO VERY CATHARTIC To watch the Ink Demon kill a figure who refuses to apologize for letting him down so severely #Or to even acknowledge it/that it was wrong at all #WELL DONE #Scratched an itch in my brain!!!#Am I reading too much into it? perhaps! But it’s inspiration to me regardless #And free trauma processing #bendy and the dark revival spoilers #bendy and the dark revival spoiler #spoiler #spoilers
