'Coffee Angels' (Note: Not canon to Casino Cups. This is for my universe) "In the modern world of Inkwell Isles, it's been normal for the most part - well if it count random objects still magically appearing as normal. But things have been great for the residents, visitors and those that love to come down to The Devil's Casino for some fun times of taking risks or drinking the night away. Those that still comes down now and then are the archangels of Heaven. Gabriel is well known to go to Inkwell to be someone's guardian angel and maybe do a bit of clothes shopping or teach others about life and stuff, he does have his Professor license after all. Sometimes Azrael will as well, being in more cemetery areas and helping those get more used to being... well dead. Very rarely, you will have the most powerful archangel of all to come down. That being Michael. Still in the current times, Michael still works hard with taking down any demons or having to deal with his brother, Lucifer, if ordered too by his father and that takes a lot on him. That toll can appear when he interacts with more of the newer ranked angels and that did happen when he was being too strict in training/teaching a few of them. So much so, that God saw this and told Michael to get some relief, ordering him to go down to Earth for the day and calm himself down. This surprises the strict angel as he is rarely told to go to Earth for a break. Nonetheless, he obeys his father's orders, got changed in his blue suit (that he still likes to wear when blending in with the crowd) and left down to Earth with Raphael coming along with him as his plus one so he has some good company with him. While down on earth for the day, they stopped by a small tradtional cafe to get themselves some coffee. As they're angels, they don't need coffee at all but they do like the taste of it as it helps with taking away part of their stress. After ordering some with Michael getting it in a coffee mug and Raphael getting it in a takeout cup, the two sat down by the window - not before Michael giving some glares at a poster that is literally promoting the one place his brother runs, and started to drink their coffee. The two soon have a quiet chat with one another as they have their drink. Michael is reading a newspaper, seeing what is going on around the world while Raphael chats about how he has been with his jobs around Heaven and healing those that needs it. Michael is too focused on reading the paper though he is still listening to his younger brother, even if it doesn't look like it. Safe to say, the order that God gave to Michael, it definitely did help calm himself down and Raphael's company also helped with it too." ------------------------------ Art by @camodielsart / @camodiel

Happy Easter from The Inkwell Hell

Uhm.. Alphy? I.. I haven't heard from you all day-

MODERN INKWELL MAP FOR MY CUPHEAD AU, I CAN DO WHATEVER I WANT!!

[gemwing1988]

The Inkwell Isles, a fantastic place where the impossible is possible and the possibilities are endless.

Boxing frogs, giant mermaids, singing flowers, a hidden land of sweets, three-headed dragons. You name it! The Isles got it all.

However, while Inkwell has its beauty and wonders, it still has its fair share of dangers from every corner. Dreaded sea beasts, a sugar-crazed baroness driven mad from isolation and imprisonment of her own kingdom and occasionally mischievous ghosts who don’t know any better.

But the greatest danger is the Devil himself. So beware and don’t deal with him. Ever.

All precautions aside, if you’re in for lots of fun with a dash of heebie jeebies, then the Inkwell Isles the very place for you. So pack up your bags and go!

Many interesting new friends and lots of big adventures awaits!

🧭🗺️🧳

Summary: You meet the two twin idiots, Cuphead and Mugman and decide to befriend them!

🩷☁️N E R D Y S L E E P Y B U N N Y☁️🩷

You were a new citizen living in Inkwell Isles. You didn’t know much about the place, but you were exploring around and so far you loved it here! The people seemed lovely, and there were many fun areas to visit.

You were inside a paint shop, looking for a brush to decorate your new house. When suddenly you picked up the sound of two voices screaming, the noise getting closer and closer. Looking towards it, you see two boys barge into the once-quiet shop, the sound of panting filling the small building. The clerk at the counter rolled their eyes and continued doing whatever they were up to, it seemed these two did this often.

The boys looked rather similar in appearance, though they had their differences. One had a large round nose that was blue, with a black long sleeve turtleneck and blue shorts to match. His twin had a smaller red nose, with the same shirt and shorts except his shorts were red, and they both had on brown shoes. And they both had cup heads.

The one in blue walked up to the counter, placing his hands on the edge and placing some money in front of the clerk. The one in red then walked next to you, grabbing two buckets of white paint. He then looked over at you, noticing your staring at him and his brother.

"I've never seen you before... Are ya new?" You responded with a shy nod, and he smiled.

"Great! Mugman, look, this person's new here!" The one wearing blue, apparently named Mugman, looked over and the two of you locked eyes. He then grew a large smile and walked over, shaking your hand.

"Welcome to Inkwell Isles! I'm Mugman, and this is my brother Cuphead!" You nodded at the information, shaking his hand in return before the two of you let go.

"I'm Y/N. Thank you for the welcome!"

"Of course! We got some extra money, what'cha buyin'?" Cuphead walked over to the counter and placed the buckets on top, the worker scanning the labels and putting the money in the register before returning the buckets to Cuphead. You turned to the side and pointed at the wall of hanging paintbrushes. You wanted to find the perfect one to do exactly what you were hoping for.

"Oh! You're a painter?"

"Not exactly, I just wanted to paint my walls. I'm not really good at it..." Mugman patted your shoulder, giving you a reassuring smile. You smiled in return before finally picking a brush that seemed good enough, picking it up.

"If you're up for it, Cuphead and I got a fence that needs paintin'. Some extra hands would be helpful!" Well, you had nothing better to do.

"Sure, I'd love to help!"

"Great! I'll take that for you." Mugman said before gently grabbing the paintbrush from your hands, walking up to the counter that Cuphead was leaning against, watching the scene before him. The boys paid for you, and the three of you began walking to their house.

✎ ˚ ༘♡ ⋆｡˚

The boys had barely finished one portion of the fence, and when they turned to work on another side, they saw you already finished!

“Gee Y/N, this looks amazing!” Mugman complimented, and you blushed at the praise with a giggle.

“Thank you, Mug.”

“Say, Y/N, I think we make a good team! We should hang out more!” Cuphead barged in, and you immediately agreed, already loving the brothers’ company.

“Yeah! Are you doing anything this weekend?” Mugman asked politely, looking at you with hopeful eyes.

“I’ll probably just be finishing up my unpacking.” Cuphead walked next to you, wrapping his arm around your shoulders and pulling you into his side.

“Well, I think you deserve a break then! How about we all go to the carnival together?”

“Sounds fun!”

“Oh, perfect! We can meet at our house on Saturday?” Mugman suggested since the two cups didn’t know where you lived.

“It’s a plan!” You hugged the boys before the three of you bid your goodbyes, grabbing your things and walking home.

“Bye Y/N!” The boys waved as your figure disappeared into the horizon. They walked back into the house, needing to be quiet due to the kettle that was sleeping soundly in his room. The boys laid on the wood floor in their room, staring at the ceiling as they thought and talked about you. For the first time, they had a true friend. And they planned to keep you around.

Sneak peek/ wip

The last episode only had 8 scenes, this time it will be three times that.

[xshimaeraxx]

maybe-hot-take here: cc!cuphead and mugman, or at LEAST cc!mugman, both think themselves to be bad people.

think about it. mugman, in the morality debate w the devil, literally SAYS, OUT LOUD, the scenario of thinking he’s in the right when he’s not that he himself is now stuck in. now, i’m not saying with this that cc!mugman isn’t arrogant and DOESN’T have a god complex of some kind a mile long, because it’s plain by now that he DOES — but being arrogant and thinking yourself better then others doesn’t equal into actually, genuinely thinking that the things you do and the actions you commit are unequivocally, morally good.

Look at the morality debate another time;

(credit, obviously, to brightgoat, former owner of casino cups)

now, we COULD focus on mugman’s reaction & all that, but i want y’all to look at the spades card. what’s its reaction to the devil’s card popping up? defensiveness, crouching down as one would do in a fight, all hallmarks of the fight that while the debate may SEEM civil, going by the (fairly obvious, i’d say) assumption that the cards are connected to devil’s & mugman’s emotions. look at the spade (& clubs) cade when the devil says “nonono, we’re talking about you-”

the spade card is disarmed, frightened. the club’s, on the other hand, is just surprised.

but let’s move on from that small detour for a bit. what does mugman say in the second ss? “A villain does not always need bad intentions, some bad people don’t think of themselves as bad, what makes a villain is their actions.”

and the devil replies with [paraphrasing] “doesn’t that make you the villian?”

and mugman replies with the fancy-people equivalent of “yes, but”. now, we may not ever know just what EXACTLY mugman would’ve said after that “but”, but i wager we can guess at what he might’ve been about to say. “we recognised our actions as wrong but i never said our actions weren’t wrong, i said that we had a morally good REASON, therefore making us NOT the villains in that specific scenario.” now, is there a multitude of OTHER things that mugman could’ve said there ‘fore the devil cut him off? yes, yes there are. but to make my point here, i’m going to go off of the assumption that THAT is what mugman was going to say.

the devil next said, “Villains can still recognise their actions and commit them, Mug.” mugman doesn’t respond to this remark; instead deflects with the fact that the devil’s evolution of the scenario/situation isn’t fair bc it doesn’t consider the context. i’ll get back on that l’il remark later, but the devil’s response is to IMMEDIATELY say [again, paraphrasing] “But it’s your debt we’re talking about here, don’t try and deflect off of the previous conversation.” when mugman says “no, this is about the debtors,” that’s a plain lie, because YES, the convo/debate began by talking about the debtors, but it evolved into a conversation/debate on whether the BROS were being morally good during the events of the game, so it IS about mugman’s debt. mugman & cuphead’s debt, technically, but both the devil & mugman’re ignoring that during that portion of the convo, so we’re ignoring it aswell.

strawmanning. what’s the definition of strawmanning? from goofle: “Straw man occurs when someone argues that a person holds a view that is actually not what the other person believes. Instead, it is a distorted version of what the person believes. So, instead of attacking the person's actual statement or belief, it is the distorted version that is attacked.”

when the devil says that mugman is strawmanning here, he is, as far as i can tell, right. mugman is strawmanning here; he clearly doesn’t entirely believe in what he’s saying, based purely off of how SURPRISED he is when the devil calls him out. i can say, from personal experience, that that isn’t how a person who truly believes in what they’re saying reacts when someone accuses them of lying - if they DO truly believe in what they’re saying/that what they’re saying is true, then getting told you’re lying WHEN YOU’RE NOT is incredibly frustrating. you don’t get caught-off guard, caught-out; you get angry, you get frustrated, and what a person normally does at being accused like this is either double down on their side of the argument, or they just drop the topic altogether because it frustrates one too much to continue interacting with someone who won’t believe them.

mugman does neither of these. what he does do is feebly try to deflect, deny, and move the debate back to the topic the whole thing BEGAN with- the debtors, & the devil accusedly taking advantage of people with his deals- and when that fails and devil turns to dice, the (obviously biased; i’m sorry dice ily but c’mon, you can’t deny he was) judge of the debate, for support and dice gives it, what does mugman do?

he stops trying to argue his point, and while yes, giving in and letting the other person win IS as i said a sign of someone who truly believes in what they’re saying, but here it’s obvious that that’s not the case. mugman, here, is giving in purely because he KNOWS he’s been caught-out, and there’s therefore no point trying to argue for something he doesn’t believe in.

but what exactly in that argument does he not believe in? the fact the debtors were taken advantage of in their deals? he definitely and wholeheartedly believes in that, even if not exactly in the way he presented it as to the devil, purely because if he hadn’t he wouldn’t’ve started that debate IN THE FIRST PLACE. so he believes in that, at least. so is the thing mugman doesn’t believe in - himself? does he not believe in the morality of him and his brother?

does he not think that he, himself, is morally good? if so, does he believe that he is morally BAD, or does mugman simply believe that he isn’t morally good? i wager he believes the former.

let’s take a quick look at Mortal Blues, aka the “Mugsy’s Mental Breakdown” comic strip(s).

here, we see mugman act the most arrogant we have ever seen him act in the entire 'verse of casino cups. he is flaunting his accomplishments in the middle of an honest-to-god mental breakdown and is clearly saying it all more to himself then to quadratus, saying it all aloud as a way to reassure himself that he deserves more, he deserves to know, he deserves to KNOW. so, clearly, he should ALSO be assuring himself of his morality, his goodness—yet he doesn’t mention it once in his list/rant about his 'accomplishments' (or more accurately, traumas).

he lists fighting satan himself, dying and coming back over and over and over again, and he rants about the injustice of it, about how he deserves more then this. how he deserves to know. he lists these things, in my eyes, as a way to reassure himself that he DOES deserve it, he’s done more then enough in his life to be deserving enough, to be powerful enough to know, so it’s only logical that he’d list off his moral goodness alongside all those other things: he’s above LUCIFER HIMSELF in his morality even if not in knowledge, he’s steadfast, he doesn’t break in his beliefs whether by actions or words, he is GOOD where so many other people aren’t-

but he doesn’t say anything of the sort, simply because it wouldn’t be true - or at least, deep down, he doesn’t THINK it’s true.

now, i’m not here to argue about whether or not mugman truly IS morally good or not (because in my genuine opinion, cc!mugman’s morality is more neutral then either good OR bad in my pov for reasons ill prolly expand upon in some other post someday); i’m just here to argue that mugman believes himself to be morally bad. and really, when you look at it all pilled up together, well—the evidence’s kinda hard to miss.

tl;dr: CC!Mugman Has Issues & Desperately Needs Therapy, Here’s (One Of) the Reasons Why

[alphyadventures]

This has.. officially taken over my brain.
