#Wally and Sammy kind of become brothers

Ink Stains

A/N: This is my first time posting a fanfic on here! I hope you all like it! It’s from the video game Bendy and the Ink Machine, and it’s something I wrote about two years ago.

{•}

It was obvious that Sammy and Wally had a bad relationship. Everyone in the studio could see it.

However, that was just simply not the case.

-—-

Sammy was in his sanctuary, annoyance creeping up his spine as he scribbled out notes of music.

It was like a language, he thought. A language that he couldn’t decipher. Or at least find it in himself to finish. He was missing something; an important puzzle piece in his symphony.

Then, in quick rasps, he heard thumps make a quick tattoo into his entrance. He blinked, taking a quick look at the small clock and noticed it was past work hours. He was almost tempted to ignore it, but it was so panicked and familiar that he quickly opened the door. What met his eyes made him shiver.

Wally was in front of him, shivering and drenched in ink. His eyes were wide, and his hands trembled like a leaf in the wind.

Sammy quickly let him in, taking care to grab the slightly stained towel that laid on his stained desk. He led Wally to his seat as he ignored the tug at his chest.

“ What happened?” He questioned softly as he wiped off some of the ink.

Wally shook as he said,” I-I... It hurts...” He whined as he tugged at his stained hair. His hat, which he usually took very good care of, slipped off of his head and landed on the inky ground.

“ What hurts?” Sammy questioned as he tried to gently rub off the ink.

Wally seemed to not hear him, and Sammy looked into his eyes only to freeze when he saw them.

Eyes that usually resembled melted caramel now was a pure black.

It was like a signal as Wally heaved over, loosing his lunch as he sagged against his friend. Sammy was chilled by this, and his heart filled with dread when he noticed a familiar black.

That tug became a burn and all he could do was look away as he questioned softly,” What happened?”

Wally just continued to tremble, and it took a few moments to realize that Wally was mumbling. Sammy held back a sob as he tried to wipe off the ink. Unfortunately, it seemed to have a mind of its own now. It weaved along the teenager’s body, making even the most persistent scrubbing useless as it evaded him.

Wally was dying, and there was only one way to fix it.

Sammy snatched the hat from the floor and after sticking it on the teen’s head, picked him up and ran out the door.

-—-

Heat spread across his skin like a tidal wave, but all he could do is shiver. Voices, amplified to the point of deafening him, wailed and screamed in his ears.

He felt bile rise up, but he managed to keep it down as he looked up to the man carrying him.

Sammy had a scared but determined face as he raced against the clock. Wally, even in his haze, managed to catch the quiver in his lips and the slight tremble in his lips.

In that second Wally knew he was in big trouble.

He elected to ignore this thought. With a slightly delirious mindset, he decided he needed to cheer up his unofficial big brother. With his shaky hands, he grabbed the hat off of his head as firmly as he could. With a small sweep he planted the hat on Sammy’s head and began to babble.

“I crave your affection, but I crave your silence even more– shut up.” Sammy shakily drawled, but Wally didn’t seem to notice as he continued his speech.

With a shaky smile the man tousled his hair affectionately.

The janitor couldn’t help but lean into the warm touch, and all he could wonder was how his body was so hot but all he could feel was crippling cold.

-—-

They eventually arrived at the ink machine, and Sammy took care to lay the teenager softly on the ground. It still elicited a noise of pain from him, and it took everything in Sammy not to flinch and collapse on the floor. No- that was for later. For now he had to be the strong hero. Especially amongst his mistakes and sins.

He shakily darted out and sprinted to the offering room. He blessed his lucky stars that Joey had forced them to bring an offering, even if he did hate it. He wasn’t some crazed worshiper, but he’d be a liar if he’d said that wasn’t what Joey wanted him to be...

With a whimper he slammed the button and sprinted as fast as he could to the ink machine. He slipped and slid on inky black as he finally arrived at the ink machine.

He took no time in pulling the lever, making the machine rise into the air. He turned to Wally, heart gripping as he noticed the blackened blood that leaked from his mouth and his eyes. The only thing that managed to comfort the music director was the shivers that wracked his body. It meant that he was alive.

It meant that he had a chance.

Sammy reached down and picked him up, eliciting a startled groan from Wally. He merely rubbed a hand through his hair apolitically as he scampered over to the small tub that pumped out the ink.

With shaking hand he laid Wally on there and said,” It’s okay, I’ll make you feel better Wals.”

Wally groaned as he limply laid on his back, and the last thing Sammy did before he left him was kiss the top of his head and turn to the controls.

With shaking hands he began to pull the levers and push the buttons. He tried everything he could and eventually he was rewarded with a stream of ink gushing out of the machine. He slid onto the ground, shoulders shaking as his entire body was wracked with sobs that held no candle to the grief that consumed it.

-—-

It was hours later when Sammy awoke on the floor. He was confused for a slight moment, mind searching for an answer before the weight of what had happened hit him.

He collapsed again, body trying and failing to wrack in oxygen as his vision grew blurry with tears.

Wally was poisoned. Wally was dead. Wally was gone. Wally was gone gone gone.

He was gone.

-—-

He was swimming. That’s the only way he could describe it. Honestly, it was kind of nice. It would have even been almost peaceful if it weren’t for the shouting and the pitch black darkness.

The being, Wally, a voice in his head echoed, swam around aimlessly. He wasn’t sure where he was, and just as he was about to start yelling out too he heard sobs.

With his curiosity piqued he swam up. It was like moving through molasses. It felt thick and sticky against his... What was he again?

He couldn’t quite remember.

He ignored this in favor of following the cries; familiar and heart wrenching they drew him closer as he made his way up.

Then he breached the surface.

The air licked his skin, making him hiss in surprise as he blinked away the thick liquid in his eyes.

The lights were yellowed and made the walls appear a dark honey comb color. Black splattered the walls and noises seemed to create an odd symphony of ticks and grinding gears.

The thought sent a bittersweet feeling in his chest before it faded away; leaving him as quick as it came.

He would ponder this later, right after he got out of this ink pit.

With a grumble he padded forward in a doggy paddle. The ink seemed to drag him down, and it took everything in him to stay afloat.

Then he saw him.

The man was stained with ink he noted. He was crumpled on the ground and made worrying wheezing sounds- not unlike a broken squeaky toy.

Wally eventually made his way out of the ink and onto the balcony. His arrival, unnoticed to the music director, was a blessing to his aching muscles.

He dusted himself off, making a few splatters of black staining the soft wood. Wally winced, a sudden though reminding him that wood being soft wasn’t good. Especially for something that was suspending him about a giant pool of ink.

Shaking those thoughts away he started forward; paws miraculously not staining the wood as he asked the figure,” Hello? Are you okay?”

The figure was startled from his grief, turning to him with wide frightened eyes.

-—-

Sammy wasn’t sure what to do. He stared at the short cartoonish raccoon that was in front of him with a burning fear in his heart.

Would he hate him? Did he blame him for what happened?

... Did he even remember him?

Claws of anguish scratched at his chest and ripped at his insides; leaving a bloody mess of insecurity behind for him to deal with.

“ Do... Do you need help?”

Sammy let out a quiet whimper as he watched his every move.

The raccoon, Wally, didn’t seem to mind. In fact, only concern for his well being seemed to shine through two cartoon pie cut eyes.

If that wasn’t what started to flood gates, Sammy isn’t quite sure what did.

“ Oh no, did I do something wrong?!?” Wally fretted as he hovered anxiously over the sobbing music director.

Sammy paid no mind to his words. Instead he sobbed out,” I’m sorry! I’m so so sorry...”

Wally moved forward and gently took the man in his arms. Sammy wailed out as he clutched onto the inky raccoon as well as he could.

“ It’s okay, you’re forgiven...” Wally paused as he wracked his brain for his name.” Sammy.”

Sammy’s cries seemed to intensify and suddenly Wally felt memories flood his mind. With that came the realization that he needed to calm down his brother, and all he could think of is his song. The song that made him feel more human than anything else has.

“ I-It’s alright, it’s okay...” Wally sung rasping as he held him.

His grip tightened as he continued firmly,” It’s alright it’s okay. You’re not a monster... Just human, and you’ve made a few mistakes.”

Sammy cried out again and Wally burrowed his face into his hair.

“ It’s alright, it’s okay. It’s alright, it’s okay..”

Wally’s inky fur didn’t seem to stain his face. Instead it seemed to soak in his tears as he held onto his brother as he sung for him.

“ You’re not gruesome, just human, and you’ve made a few mistakes.”

Eventually with the help of Wally’s song and his love Sammy managed to calm down.

The music director scrubbed at his face mercilessly as he said,” I’m sorry...”

“ No more of that.” The raccoon countered as he brushed at the hair that was exposed from under the hat.” I’m not mad, and I can assure you no one else is either.”

Sammy remained unresponsive except for a quiet whimper.

Wally sighed as he picked him up. Much to the janitor’s surprise, he could almost compare Sammy to a feather as he held him in a bridal hold.

Wally elected to ignore that for now. No, he decided he needed to get him and Sammy out of there.

“ Alright.” Wally began as he trudged forward,” Is there anything you need from your... Sanctuary was it?”

Sammy just shook at the words, and all Wally could do was hold him tighter.

“ I guess that’s a no.”

Wally, after a moment, fished keys out of his pocket and started looking for the exit. To fill the void of silence, the younger man decided to converse with the shock victim.

“ You know, I think I look pretty cool. For a raccoon at least.” He shrugged as he made his way forward.” I’m going to have to hand in my resignation though. Or we could just say I died. Not sure how I could do that without you being a suspect or revealing I’m a furry. Literally.”

Wally snorted as he looked down at his black fur,” I’d say it’s pretty soft though, so fair deal I guess. Say, didn’t Disney offer you a job? You should take that. It’s better than here.”

Sammy started to doze off, and Wally shook him slightly as he said,” Nope, can’t have you dozing off just yet. You still need to listen to my Mickey Mouse impression after all.”

This finally got a soft huff of laughter out of him, and Wally couldn’t help but let a shaky one of him own escape him.

They would be fine, he realized.

Wally felt a few dark tears drip from his pie cut eyes as he said,” Yeah, and you never got around to watching those Disney movies with me. You still have to watch it with me, no getting out of it. Even if I am a giant fluffy raccoon.”

Finally Sammy began to calm down. His body became a limp noodle in his arms and Wally felt his own icy fear dissolve.

They would make it, Wally could feel it.

-—-

Sammy sighed as he drove up to his house, tired after a long day of work. Despite him being a musician, he often got sought after for help with the lyrical part of the songs. Adding that with his admittedly middle wage pay, he felt drained.

When he noticed the blue light that flooded out of his living room window, he couldn’t help the smile that tugged at his lips. He unlocked the door, and entered the small hall.

He recognized the sound of Bippity Bobbity Boo almost immediately. Heaven knows that he’s heard it enough already. Oddly enough, instead of it annoying him it made him smile.

He quickly entered the living room to find Wally dozing off in a pillow fort. His snores drowned out the fairy godmother’s tune, and Sammy couldn’t help but smile down at his brother. With a click he turned off the tv and the lights. He undid his tie after that and made his way into the fort.

Maybe things weren’t exactly perfect, but as he curled up next to his brother, he knew there was nothing better than this.

Place of birth: Oxford, England

Birth name: Felicity Robinson (Initially, only Sammy knows this, though the rest of SnB learns it at Esme's funeral)

Nicknames: Ceelie (By Pickles and Sammy, mostly, though the Dethklok boys pick it up eventually), Star (By Magnus), princess (By Skwisgaar)

Ethnicity: Half English, half Greek (Though she's unaware of the latter for most of her life)

Height: Five-foot-one

Sexuality: Bisexual

Relationship status: It's complicated. It's always complicated. She's unlucky in love. 

Current location: London, England

Appearance: St. Cecilia is a petite woman (She's half a head shorter than Pickles!) with golden skin and long white-blonde hair, which she wears in a high ponytail. She has thick, dark brows and bright brown eyes (Skwisgaar says she has "wolf eyes"). She has three white marigolds tattooed on each shoulder, a labret piercing, and a vertical collarbone piercing at the hollow of her throat. Her ears are pierced three times each, in which she wears two silver hoops and a silver stud on each side, and she has a small black star beneath each eye. She has a Christina piercing, nipple piercings, and a belly button piercing. She has a No Time For Antivenom tattoo on her sternum, and a European robin tattoo at the back of her neck. Along her spine, she has a tattoo reading "to thine own self be true." She has a shitty stick-and-poke crown tattooed behind her right ear. She has a pear body type, with wide hips, a small chest, and an even smaller waist (Nathan can encircle her waist with his hands). She typically wears a black muscle shirt, ripped dark jeans, heavy boots, black driving gloves, and a studded black leather collar with a D-ring at the front. She also wears a Gibson pearl guitar pick on a necklace, which was given to her by Pickles when they first started dating in the 80s. She wears a silver cuff on each ear, and her tongue is pierced with a simple silver stud. 

During flashbacks to the Snakes N' Barrels era, she's shown with darker blonde hair cut in a mullet style, and only her labret and ear piercings, plus one on the right side of her nose. She wears a cropped white tank, with high-waisted jeans and black Converse sneakers. She wears mismatched armbands, one black, one striped, and the same collar she wears in the present.

Her more casual look consists of a black button-up shirt with the sleeves pushed up, which she wears tucked into a pair of leather pants. She wears pumps instead of boots, and her hair is twisted up in a clip. She keeps her collar, but doesn't wear the pick necklace or her ear cuff, and she switches her hoop earrings for studs. She doesn't apply her stars.

For fancier occasions, she wears a black dress with spaghetti straps and a very short, flared skirt, black opera gloves and black strap pumps. She, as always, wears her collar with it, and she pulls her hair into a high bun. 

Personality: St. Cecilia is cocky, witty, and teasing, but ultimately good-natured. She's a bit selfish and stubborn, but she does everything with 110% effort, hoping to impress people, even if she winds up getting hurt in the process. She'll do literally anything for validation. To say she's vain would be an understatement. She's something of a coquette who flirts with both men and women, and is she has a tendency to "think with her dick," as Tony once put it. She's slow to anger, but quick to jealousy, and she holds grudges for far too long. She's the playful type, but it's largely in a chill way. She's an obvious extrovert, and the role as frontman for Stiletto came very naturally.  

Skills & Hobbies: St. Cecilia writes good poetry, great song lyrics, and terrible erotica. She likes plants and is quite the chess player (Though she hasn't managed to beat Charles even once), which she learned during her school days. She also learned to fence, ride horses, and speak fluent Latin there.

Musical Talents: She's a classically trained singer (When she was little, she was part of her church's choir), and she writes most of the song lyrics and some of the music for her band, Stiletto. In Snakes N' Barrels, she played lead guitar on a white Jackson Pro Series Rhoads RR3, but during their reunion concert, she plays a more modern Gibson Explorer '76 Reissue 2010 Cherry. She took piano lessons for several years as a child, and she's still pretty good. Nothing outstanding, but if Stiletto needs to incorporate a piano into a song, she's perfectly capable of playing it herself. 

Relationships: 

-Pickles the Drummer: Their relationship is a complicated one. They've known each other for ages, and they've been together through the highest highs and the lowest lows, all the way down to rock bottom. She partially blames him for her late teens and early twenties being the fiasco they were, and she cut off contact with him for a long time after the SnB breakup. During the run of the show itself, the two reconcile somewhat and even become more or less friends before Abigail shows up and things start to crumble again. They have a hard time admitting it, but there's love between them, and there has been for a long time. They're both afraid to try getting together again, though, as there's a mutual fear of the relationship ending as it did the first time, with them hating each other again. They're back together at the end of Doomstar, but there's no way of telling if the love between them is enough to keep them together or if they'll just fall apart all over again. 

-Magnus Hammersmith: They were more off-and-on than anything, but they were together for years, even though quite a bit of it was long-distance. It wasn't supposed to be a serious thing. It was just supposed to be a quick fuck. Then it was supposed to be a performance to annoy Pickles, but Magnus quickly realized that St. Cecilia's feelings for Pickles were too strong for her to be any use to him in his revenge plot. The basis of their bond formed because they understood each other on a level they've never known with anyone else: Former Snakes N' Barrels guitarist St. Cecilia Jameson and former Dethklok guitarist Magus Hammersmith both understand on a fundamental level what it's like to be left behind and forgotten. Magnus caught a bit of feelings, and when Roy Cornickelson's funeral came around, Magnus warned St. Cecilia not to attend. It was their last interaction, and it forever cast him in a positive light for her, even after she learned what he was doing with the Metal Masked Assassin. 

-Nathan Explosion: They get along pretty well. Their first meeting was at a singers-only Crystal Mountain party, and they ended the evening with a quickie in the coatroom. He wrote a song about the encounter, but Pickles never figured out that it was about St. Cecilia, which Nathan thinks is just the funniest thing. He mostly sees St. Cecilia as one of the guys once she meets with Dethklok again for the SnB reunion. It's a "been there, done that" kind of deal. She's not brutal, but she's funny and she's fun, and goddamn, is she pretty, and they would absolutely hang out if they could get their schedules to line up.

-Skwisgaar Skwigelf: St. Cecilia is nothing short of enchanted by Skwisgaar. It's not a crush, exactly, but she has a huge amount of admiration for him. They've practiced together a time or two, but she's a little rusty and winds up with her fingers bleeding because her calluses have gone soft. He tends to tease her over her soft hands. A guitar god, he tells her, can't have hands like a princess. His calling her “princess” becomes a bit of a thing for them. The two of them often have brunch together, talking shit and drinking. She's good for him; He's never had a female friend before.

-Toki Wartooth: Within the series itself, St. Cecilia hasn't given Toki much thought. He's cute, but he's just sorta there. His incident during the SOBERTOWN USA concert really scared her, and she more or less avoids him after that. Post-DSR, though, their relationship changes. He, like her, was hurt by Magnus, and even with him dead, Toki misses him terribly. St. Cecilia misses him, too. As sad as it is, this becomes their common ground. Their other connection, odd as it sounds, is pole dancing. St. Cecilia does it for exercise, and Toki did it for money, and they often compete to see who's better on the pole. 

-William Murderface: St. Cecilia actually has a begrudging fondness for Murderface. He's awful, but he's also pretty funny, and she likes to hear him talk about knives and medieval weaponry, as her family home is full of such things. They clash over things, of course, but she likes being around him more often than not.

-Charles Offdensen: St. Cecilia really likes Charles, actually. He's basically the only person on the show who's really "on her level" class-wise. He attended Harvard, and she attended Oxford, so they have a great deal to talk about. They play a lot of chess and fence on occasion, and if it weren't for her feelings for Pickles and his obligation to the Church, they just might have gotten together.

-Dick Knubbler: They're friends, in a way. She thinks he's kind of a weirdo, but he knows how to have a good time, so as long as he isn't hitting on her, she likes being around him. 

-Abigail Remeltincdrinc: They became friends mostly due to the fact that they were both women in the music industry (And both working for Crystal Mountain) and supporting each other seemed the right thing to do. Abigail getting involved with Dethklok and catching Pickles's attention quickly became a sore spot, and they drifted apart after that. After DSR, things got even worse. Abigail, naturally, is glad that Magnus is gone, while St. Cecilia is devastated by the loss. They had something of a falling-out over it, and they haven't really spoken since. 

-Edgar Jomfru: Despite being very different people, St. Cecilia really enjoys Edgar's company. He merely tolerates her at first, but she grows on him, to the point where they're legitimately friends come Doomstar. The two of them often have lunch together on the roof of Mordhaus so they can get some fresh air. 

-Family: St. Cecilia's family consists of her mother, Elizabeth, her older sister, Bryony, and her now-deceased grandmother, Esme. St. Cecilia has a very formal, cold relationship with her mother, and she has no desire to change that. As far as she's concerned, her mother doesn't deserve to have a good relationship with her. St. Cecilia adores Bryony, though. Though Elizabeth brags about her, Bryony remains modest and is very close with her sister because of it. Though there's seven years between them, they may as well be twins. Esme, who passed away in 1993, was more of a mother to St. Cecilia than Elizabeth ever was, and St. Cecilia still misses her terribly. She was a big part of getting SnB off the ground, and the boys even came to her funeral.

-Snakes N' Barrels: St. Cecilia adores all the boys, of course, but Sammy is the only one she really kept in touch with after the breakup. He was her favorite long before Pickles joined. There was a pregnancy scare not long after the band took off that somehow, against all odds, brought the two of them even closer. Sammy was St. Cecilia's first love. Her relationships with Tony and Snazz were much more professional, though none of them were anywhere near professional. The crown tattoo behind her right ear was done by Tony on a drunken night in, and it was too good a night for her to even consider covering it or getting it removed. 

-Stiletto: She gets along with them all quite well! She's known Niamh McLoughlin, their bassist, the longest, and their friendship dates back to their school days. Lex Clarke and Priyanka Dayal, the drummer and the guitarist respectively, came as a package deal, as they've been more or less married for years. St. Cecilia adores them and the sweetness of their relationship. She's a little envious of them, actually, though she would never say so.

History:

-Childhood: St. Cecilia was born in Oxford, England to Elizabeth Robinson. She was raised more or less at her family's girls-only boarding school, away from her mother. When she was fourteen, she fell off a horse during an equestrian class and badly injured her shoulder. She was one of the popular girls during her school days, up until she hit fifteen and decided that she was no longer a child and had a right to demand respect from her emotionally distant mother. She quit the piano lessons she had been taking for several years and took up the guitar, though it aggravated her injured shoulder and even as a teen, she developed a dependence on painkillers. This rebellious period stretched until she was sixteen and ran away with the help of her grandmother. St. Cecilia was given her name just before she left, so it would be easier for her to hide, as well as a hefty sum to tide her over until she could get herself settled. She was only in LA for a few weeks before she met Sammy at a bar where the SnB prototype band was playing. Naturally, Snazz and Tony weren't thrilled with the idea of Sammy's kinda-sorta-girlfriend trying to become their lead guitarist, and when Snazz disparagingly referred to St. Cecilia as Yoko, she broke his nose (How could he have not expected violence when a Beatles-loving British girl was called such a horrible thing?). This earned their respect and is an event that they laugh about to this day. 

-Snakes n' Barrels era: St. Cecilia stuck with the band for several months before they found Pickles, and she was smitten with him the moment she heard him sing. Esme was an important source of financial support during their formative years. The band made it big after not too long, and they all grew quite close. St. Cecilia ended up in an ill-fated off-and-on relationship with Pickles as time went on, and to this day she doesn't remember the first time she told him she loved him. It wasn't long after his first OD and his following stint in rehab that she told him, and they were both drunk in celebration of his release. His tolerance, even post-rehab, was far higher than hers, though, and he remembers, though he sometimes hates that he does. Though there was genuine love between them, the stress of the band and both of their substance abuse problems drove a wedge between not only the couple, but also the entire band. Coupled with Pickles fucking groupies behind St. Cecilia's back and St. Cecilia's becoming a rather serious Vicodin addict to combat the pain in her injured shoulder, the band was doomed. Pickles came to see St. Cecilia off on her flight back to England, saying he would meet her there when his next residuals check came in, but he never made it, and they didn't speak to each other for years afterward. It hurt, but St. Cecilia supposed it was for the best. A clean break, and all that.

-Preklok: After SnB broke up, St. Cecilia returned to Oxford, staying with Bryony in their mother's guest house as she tried to figure out her next move. Despite her gift for writing lyrics, she had no talent for writing books, and that idea quickly went down the drain. She still received a large amount of money in residuals, but she was reduced to a mere socialite, though it mostly agreed with her. At her mother's insistence, she attended a few classes at Oxford University. She absolutely loved it. In 1992, Esme passed away. St. Cecilia only told Sammy about it, but he took the initiative and brought Pickles, Tony and Snazz with him to the funeral. St. Cecilia was initially pissed, but she really appreciated the support. That was the only time she saw Pickles between SnB's breakup and their reunion concert. He was devastated when her parting words to him were "I love you with everything I am, but I never wanna see you again." In the mid-90s, she posed for an issue of Playboy, and Pickles has a copy of the issue tucked away somewhere. It wasn't until 1998, when she moved to a little flat in London, that St. Cecilia reunited with her school friend Niamh and the idea of Stiletto came about. They found Priyanka and Lex at an open mic night at one of the local clubs, and they hit it off, both as friends and as bandmates. They played at many clubs and pubs, and they were soon found by a scout at another open mic night. They signed with the UK branch of Crystal Mountain Records and were assigned the surly but efficient Melinda Glasscock as their manager, and within three years, Stiletto was huge, due in part to St. Cecilia's residual fame from Snakes N' Barrels. Their first tour was through Europe, but the second came to America, where St. Cecilia met Magnus in a bar post-show. They got on really well, and she invited him to her hotel room for the night. They exchanged numbers and got quite close over time, with her even flying him out to London from time to time so they could hang out. Magnus knew who she was from the start, and while he planned to use her feelings for Pickles to get her on his side, that soon faded and he came to genuinely like her. She wouldn't learn who he was until later on. A few years before canon, she had a quickie with Nathan in a coat room at a singers-only part at Crystal Mountain records, and he used the fact that she couldn't fit her mouth around his dick as inspiration for Dethklok's infamous song "Glasgow Smile."

-Season 1: 

-St. Cecilia's first mention within the confines of canon is during Performance Klok, when Pickles mentions he hasn't been in a serious relationship since the '80s despite the fact that he would certainly thrive under such attention. 

-She first appears in Snakes N' Barrels, during the documentary the Dethklok is watching. The guys are a little critical when they (Save Nathan, who's known for a long time) learn that part of SnB's downfall was due to Pickles's failed relationship with St. Cecilia. There's some comedic nonsense talk about fucking one's guitarist before Pickles goes to speak with Charles. Though St. Cecilia is working on an album with Stiletto when she's asked to go the reunion, she manages to push through and finish in time, though she arrives nearly late. She finds Pickles backstage, and when he sweeps in to kiss her, she pulls away a bit, saying they can't do this, as she's spoken for. She lets him hold her close, though. The rest of Dethklok finds them like that, and St. Cecilia excuses herself to go find Sammy, Tony and Snazz. There's some talk about Pickles not leaving Dethklok, which he says he won't, but they're rather worried after catching him with St. Cecilia in his arms. Meanwhile, she manages to find the boys, and they meet with Pickles backstage. While the boys partake of the Totally Awesome Sweet Alabama Liquid Snake, St. Cecilia doesn't, as she once humiliated herself by passing out on stage and doesn't wish to repeat the incident. She presses a kiss to Pickles's palm before they go on stage, an old ritual that they were never able to shake. What happens is far worse than someone just passing out, and she and Pickles leave the stage amidst the chaos while the medical Klokateers take care of the boys and see them off to the hospital. It's a disaster. She's embarrassed and angry, and she turns down Pickles's offer of a ride home and calls someone instead, as she didn't get her money converted and can't pay for a cab. This someone turns out to be the man who's claimed her, Magnus, and Pickles is none too happy about it. He tries to stop her from going with him, but it doesn't work. 

-She isn't seen in Dethkids, but she is mentioned. When Pickles starts drinking harder than usual, he finally gives in to the urge to call her, to talk about how Sammy and Snazz and Tony are doing, and to tell her that she should steer clear of Magnus. He's so drunk, though, that she barely has even an idea of what he's talking about. 

-Offscreen, but somewhere between the two SnB episodes, Magnus and St. Cecilia abruptly break up. She has a feeling something was going on with him, but his sudden disappearance really hurt her. They had been together off and on for years, after all. A few weeks before he left, he bought her a little pink knife and showed her how to use it, just in case he wasn't around to protect her. When he left, he left his guitar behind, and she still has it as of Doomstar. 

-Season 2: 

-She's mentioned by Seth in Dethwedding, though only as "that British chick" he thought Pickles would eventually have married. Pickles nearly decks him for even mentioning her.

-St. Cecilia's next appearance is in Snakes N' Barrels II. In part one, during the advertisement for the SOBERTOWN USA concert, she's missing from the band lineup, and Pickles is both relieved and a little concerned by her absence. 

-In SnB II part two, Nathan, Skwisgaar and Toki find her among the crowd at the SOBERTOWN USA concert. Nathan asks if she wasn't invited to play, but she says that she was: She just didn't think it was right to play without Pickles. Realizing that Pickles is sneaking around backstage, she leaves to go find him and try to keep him from doing something he'll regret. She only finds him just as Tony, Snazz and Sammy start freaking out, and she only just manages to keep Pickles from killing Rikki Kixx, though she honestly doesn't mind the thought of him dead. She pulls Pickles away from the stage, where he calls the Klokateers to take care of Sammy, Snazz and Tony, and she sets to icing down his bruised knuckles. She tells him that she and Magnus broke up, and he's thoroughly pleased about it: She's too good for him, anyway. That irritates her a bit, but she tells him to call her sometime, though she insists he do it when he's not drunk off his ass. 

-Season 3: 

-Ironically, when Pickles calls her in Dethhealth to inform her that he's dying, he's in fact drunk again. She wants to go to Mordhaus to see him, but he tells her to stay where she is, as he doesn't want her seeing him like that, though she's seen him at rock bottom as it is. At the end of the episode, he's drunker and higher than ever, but he calls her again to let her know he's all right. She can't understand him, though, so he puts Nathan on to explain. She’s thoroughly relieved, but she’s still considering going to Mordhaus to see him. She implores of Nathan, "Take care of him, all right?"

-Offscreen, in the time between Dethhealth and Dethmas, Pickles goes to London for a while to appease St. Cecilia, and to their mutual surprise, it's not really all that different from how it was when they were actually together. There's lots of cuddling and kissing and great sex and just... Hanging out. It's easy for them to be together. They have their share of problems, but the old spark between them is still there. Pickles is honestly a little scared of that: What if he falls for her all over again just for her to break his heart like she did last time? The fact that she has Magnus's guitar makes him doubly suspicious. He starts drinking harder than ever to drown out the thoughts of her. 

-In Rehabklok, when Pickles's drinking is brought to the attention of the band and he's sent to rehab, he tries for a while to blame it on St. Cecilia. She broke his heart, and he drinks to cope. It makes perfect sense, until he starts to really think about it and realizes that he's equally at fault for how their relationship (And also SnB) fell apart. He realizes, after many years, that he hurt her as badly as she hurt him. And that makes him feel even worse. He talks the doctor into letting him call her to apologize, but it doesn't go well: She's a little offended that he would even consider blaming her for his drinking, given he was a drunk long before they met. "Is that what I am to you now? An excuse to get drunk and act a fool?" Not long after that, Pickles realizes the real cause for his drinking.

-Just before Charles goes to speak to the UN in Doublebookedklok, he calls St. Cecilia and cryptically asks her if she speaks Latin. She owes him a favor for getting her out of some legal trouble, so she can't really refuse. Several months before, she punched a scummy paparazzo who called Magnus washed-up, and Charles used his reeducation program to keep those involved from pressing charges or damaging St. Cecilia's reputation. 

-Season 4:

-In Fanklok, before Charles meets with the band to discuss Klokikon, he welcomes St. Cecilia to Mordhaus and presents her with an ancient-looking journal that belonged to Aurelius Isambard, one of the original prophets of the Church of the Black Klok. She's taken down to the basement, where she's introduced to Edgar Jomfru, and gets to work. 

-In Diversityklok, after he's spoken to Edgar, Charles speaks to St. Cecilia. He finds her engrossed, but thoroughly worried. She asks if this is real, and she's even more worried when he tells her it is. 

-Offscreen, St. Cecilia has been hard at work translating the journal, and she's come to a passage that seems to describe the growing tension between the band. It also mentions an approaching star, and she takes to sitting on the roof at night to observe the sky. 

-In Prankklok, when Pickles tells Nathan that he's not allowed to drink any tequila during their friender-bender, Nathan tells him he can't visit St. Cecilia when they stop in London. Pickles reluctantly agrees. Not long after, we see Pickles on his phone, though, debating on calling her just before he notices the storm warning.

-Offscreen, St. Cecilia approaches Charles about a phrase repeated over and over in the journal: Fata sidus oritur, the star of fate is born. 

-After Charles breaks the news about Ice Festival to Skwisgaar in Bookklok, he goes to speak with St. Cecilia and Edgar in the basement. She's tacked two star maps to the wall: One from the previous week and one from the previous night. There's a spot near the center of the first map that seems bigger on the second one. She looks like the world is ending when she tells him it's the Doomstar. It's real. It's coming? When? Soon, she says. Far too soon.

-When Charles tells the boys he's going out of town in Dethcamp, it's to take St. Cecilia to an observatory, where they meet with Ishnifus and spend a few days tracking the Doomstar's movement as it comes closer and closer to Earth. 

-In Going Downklok, when Pickles shows up all decked out for his meeting with Abigail, Nathan is quick to ask, "Don't you have a girlfriend?" Pickles insists he doesn't; He and St. Cecilia was hurt and angry the last time they spoke. On top of that, he believes she's all the way in London, and Abigail is right there. 

-Offscreen, between Dethdinner and Breakup Klok, St. Cecilia is tagged in the video of Pickles leaving Dethklok by a drunken Toki. She's incredibly hurt. Pickles has nothing, he said. She, apparently, is nothing.

-In Breakup Klok, Pickles tries to call St. Cecilia to invite her to his wine tasting, but she refuses to answer and sends him straight to voicemail. Towards the end of the episode, after the escape from Salacia, Charles requests a check-up on Edgar and St. Cecilia back at Mordhaus, and Pickles is stunned and angry to learn that she's been more or less within arm's reach for months. Had he known, he's certain things would have been different-- He wouldn't have tried to make a move on Abigail and he wouldn't have fucked up his chance to get back with St. Cecilia again.

-Offscreen, St. Cecilia speaks to Charles about staying at a hotel for a few days, just until Roy Cornickelson's funeral, after which she'll return to Mordhaus and her translation work. The day of the funeral, though, she receives a call from Magnus telling her she absolutely cannot attend, as he can't guarantee her safety. It's the last time she has contact with him before his death. We also see her watching the news about Dethklok's breakup and the insinuation that Abigail caused it, and St. Cecilia chucks a bottle at the TV, mirroring Pickles's actions in SnB II.

-In Church of the Black Klok, St. Cecilia is fetched from the hotel by Klokateers and taken to the Dethsub, where she meets with Charles, pointedly ignores Pickles, and goes to work with Edgar instead. 

-The Doomstar Requiem:

-In "One of Us Must Die," St. Cecilia can be seen on one of the slides, staring up into the sky with Isambard's journal held to her chest. Towards the end of the song, reading from the book, she sings, "Dethklok, they must be rejoined/Evil, it must be destroyed/No more apathetic stoics/They can learn to be heroic/Write the song that will be our salvation..."

-In "Training," while carrying the journal, she sings the lyrics, "As the prophecy foretold, the Doomstar has been born/And you all will be endowed with a power known to none." Nathan, Skwisgaar and Murderface are looking at the art of the Prophecy, but Pickles is watching her. Ishnifus places a hand upon her shoulder, and they sing together, "The Deth lights are within you all waiting to be woken/And when the five are united, the evil will be broken," in a show of solidarity.

-In "En Antris et Stella Fatum Cruenti," just after Ishnifus is killed and the Doomstar goes red, we see a shot of Charles, Edgar and St. Cecilia at the Church, watching the sky. 

-In "Morte Lumina," in a mirror to Nathan and Abigail's kiss, we see Pickles approach St. Cecilia, and she presses a kiss to his palm (Which is a really significant gesture between them) before he pulls her into his arms. 

Trivia: 

-The stars on her cheeks are actually a makeup trick, as she's afraid to have a needle so close to her eyes. 

-She smokes Honeyrose Cherry cigarettes (Which have roughened her voice a bit), but she doesn't drink to excess, save when she's with Pickles. He's a terrible influence on her, but she adores him just the same. Considering him and Magnus, she has rather bad taste in men.

-Her signature scent is Estée Lauder's Cinnabar, which features notes of jasmine, orange blossom, cloves, and patchouli. She uses a cinnamon body oil when she wants to get Pickles's attention. It always works.

-She wants nothing more than to be loved, but she's keenly aware of the fact that most of the people who "love" her only want to coast on her fame. It's resulted in her having a hard time trusting people. The fact that Pickles and the rest of Dethklok don't need to coast off her is part of why she likes them so much.

-She's an iced coffee addict, and she prefers chocolate, caramel, or hazelnut varieties.

-She was raised Catholic, and while she lapsed a long time ago, she has occasional bouts of Catholic Guilt. Her name is related to her religion, as St. Cecilia is the patron saint of music.

-Her preferred alcohol is Bombay Sapphire gin, though she also likes white wine and champagne.

-She's a plant mom. Her flat is full of plants, including a little devil's tongue cactus she bought at a farmer's market in LA when she first came to America. It's traveled the world with her! It lived in the cupholder of Snazz's van for several years, and now it lives in her kitchen, perched on top of the microwave.

-She has a pretty serious oral fixation. She's always got something in her mouth: A cigarette, a pen, a popsicle, someone's fingers, a dick. Depends on her mood. Getting her tongue pierced helped a little, as she can play with the stud, but some habits just can't be broken.

-She and the rest of Stiletto own a condo building in London together, and she naturally has the penthouse to herself. It's very airy and open, with lots of mirrors and plants and exposed brick. One corner of her living room is just a huge window that looks out on the city. It's her favorite feature. Magnus is too nervous to go near it.

[hello-im-not-a-possum]

It takes a pack to raise a pup

“This is bad... What am I going to do?!” The gofer nervously paced around the infirmary, clutching the bitten arm in his hand before turning to face the Janitor “Please tell me that this is just a bad joke!” He pleaded “Please tell me that this is just a mistake...”

“Sorry ta break it to ya Bud.” The janitor lowered his cap down in sympathy. “But I ain’t jokin’ and I ain’t wrong about this: dat ova here is definitely a werewolf bite. I should know, I saw what my table an’ chair legs looked like after my first few full moons.”

As this was a very serious situation, he forced himself to hold back his laughter at the intrusive memory of his wife telling him that her solution to keeping him from turning the furnature into his chew toys was to swat his snout with a rolled up newspaper every time he ignored his bones and squeaky toys in favor of the table legs. This resulted in him letting out a noise that sounded like a cough.

“B-but what about my Ma and Grandpa?! They don’t even know that monster stuff goes down in the studio! How am I supposed to explain to them that every month, I’m going to turn into a blood-thirsty monster!?”

“If ya don’t wanna tell ‘em, they don’t have ta know.” Wally shrugged. “A lotta wolves don’t tell even their closest family members.”

“What if my Ma questions why all my clothes are getting ripped up?! What if Grandpa finds out when he sees me turn for the first- Oh no... WHAT IF I BITE THEM?! WHAT IF I EAT THEM AFTER I TURN?! WALLY, WHAT IF I END UP KILLING THEM?!”

Buddy felt sick to his stomach as he slumped down to the floor, Wally sat down next to him and patted his back.

“Hey Buddy, you’re gonna be fine. Trust me! There’s a ton of werewolves here at dis studio, none of us would mind showin’ ya the ropes or givin’ ya some good advice for dealin’ with this. Who knows, it might even be a little fun ta get a new pup in the pack.”

“Uuuugggggghhhhhhhhh...”

The Janitor’s words and smile didn’t reassure the nervous gofer, if anything, hearing that he and Wally weren’t the only wolves in the studio made Buddy wonder if the monster that bit him last week was one of his own coworkers. As he thought about it, The wiry music director who was in a constant state of irritation seemed like he was a good candidate to be the wolf who bit him...

He would be lying if he said he couldn’t imagine the man sinking those sharp teeth of his into a human being’s flesh.

“Buddy, c’mon, look at me. It’s gonna be okay, I’m not gonna lie to you, changing is always scary the first few times but you don’t have to do it alone. I can rally up the pack if ya need all of us or I can just keep this between you and me, but no matta what happens, I’ve got your back.”

“Thanks Wally...” He sighed as he still dreaded what was to come. “How soon can you get them?”

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Ta-daaaaa! Welcome to werewolves not-so-anonymous!”

Wally unfurled the crudely-made banner as Buddy walked into the break room, Susie clapped, Henry smiled and gave a friendly wave, and Lacie looked bored and unamused but gave a thumbs up and a half smile.

The gofer let out a sigh of relief that he didn’t know he was holding in. Wally alone could’ve been an outlier among werewolves but not all of them. He knew most of these people; the voice actress was hands down one of the most infectiously cheerful people he’d ever met, The Head Artist was a patient and kind man who the gofer looked up to as both an artist and a father figure, and while he didn’t know the mechanic very well aside from the facts that she wasn’t the most friendly or social of people, she didn’t seem half bad.

These people weren’t monsters, he wasn’t a monster.

“Alright, I know a some of us here already know each other but others don’t so lets start ourselves off with some introductions. Who’s going first?”

“Okay. Hi, I’m Buddy, I’m the studio’s gofer and I got bitten pretty recently so I’m kinda scared about all of this...”

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

On the day of the full moon, Henry rented a van with the intent to take the werewolf pack to a cabin in the woods so that Buddy’s first transformation would be in a secluded area.

“So how’d your folks take it?” Lacie inquired to break the silence. “They didn’t look happy when we picked you up.”

“They took it better than I expected, I guess?” The gofer sighed “I mean, my ma seemed pretty scared, but she seemed more scared for me than scared of me.”

“Yeah, that tends to happen...” Henry nodded.

“Guys, I have a question”

“Go for it.”

“If Sammy’s not a werewolf, then why is he coming with us? Wont he get turned?”

The music director rolled his eyes and took a very long sip from his coffee, he also wasn’t looking forward to tonight but for a very different reason.

“Nah... Don’t worry.” Lacie laid back and stuck her boots up on the dashboard. “Hell’s Songbird is cursed with something else so he’s immune to lycanthropy.”

Nobody noticed that the man had flinched at Lacie’s statement.

“...Is he basically an unofficial member of the pack?”

Wally and Susie’s eyes lit up at the question and they smiled at each other before answering.

“Yes.”

“Definitely.”

“Absolutely.”

Wally broke down laughing as Susie broke out her stage voice, even Buddy let out a soft chuckle at her dramatic movements.

“The grumpy banjo man is indeed the pack’s loyal brother, not by blood or spirit, but by true love-”

Said grumpy banjo man turned to face the back seat, the regular irritation in his voice gave way to a sarcastic, deadpan tone.

“If you people genuinely think I ‘love’ getting chewed, slobbered on, roughhoused with, pounced on, and ripped apart by a pack of near-mindless wild animals almost every single month, then you’ve probably been huffing too many ink fumes.”

“Yeah, yeah, so bein’ the ‘designated driver’ of da group isn’t always fun... But ya do it ‘cause you looooooooooove us!”

Henry sighed in a mix of annoyance and acceptance in a way that implied he knew exactly what was going to happen next.

“I’m a married man.” Sammy continued to deadpan. “I thought you knew that by now.”

This response only egged Wally on.

“Psssst! He’s not denyin’ it!” The janitor stage-whispered “So it must be true!”

“Shut UP Franks.”

Sammy huffed and crossed his arms, but not denying Wally’s statement, which led to a loop of Wally’s teasing and Sammy’s fruitless attempts to shut the conversation down, which was only ended by reaching their destination.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Buddy felt goosebumps as the van pulled up to the cabin and the sun slowly started to dip down.

“Here we are.”

“Finally! I swear, every single car ride I have with that. walking. headache. becomes the longest one I’ve ever endured.”

“Hey!”

The cabin itself probably looked like a much more warm and inviting place during midday, but as the shadows of the trees started to cast down on the humble little abode, it looked almost sinister. Although, that could’ve just been Buddy’s imagination working against him.

He hoped it was just his imagination working against him.

“Fuck, it’s gettin’ dark real fast.” The mechanic remarked as she looked at the sky. “Should we slap the meat on the grill now or just wait after we change and eat it raw?”

“We should wait.” The animator replied. “At this rate, if we try to cook it we’ll change before it’s halfway done.”

Buddy helped carry things into the cabin; a cooler, a couple of blankets, a duffle bag filled with dog toys and bones, they all seemed like reasonable items, but he couldn’t deny he felt something was missing.

“Hey Sammy, you’re looking out for us after we change, right?”

“Unfortunately.”

“So where are the ropes and chains? And isn’t there supposed to be bear traps and tranquilizers or something like them?”

The musician raised an eyebrow at the gofer.

“...Why would we need those?”

“...To tie us up and keep us from killing people?”

Sammy’s Jaw dropped at Buddy’s suggestion.

“Holy fucking shit... kid, you’re not turning into a monster, you’re just becoming a glorified puppy.”

“But you said it yourself, you get ripped up!”

“So?” Sammy scoffed. “That’s just what all dogs do.”

“He’s more of a cat person than a dog person.” Susie called out from the kitchen “Take everything he says about werewolves with a grain of salt.”

“Easy for you to say!” Sammy called back. “You’re not the one who had to cover over ninety-seven miles in different directions to round up a bunch of whimpering wolves because SOMEONE decided to set off a bunch of firecrackers just as the moon rose!”

“Hey!” Wally called out. “I said I was sorry!”

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was time.

Like it or not, he was going to become a beast.

He knew the others’ own transformations were happening right now, he heard their bones snapping and cracking, the changing shadows cast on the floor as he dashed to his own room praying that he’d make it in time.

In the madness, he saw a glimpse of what Sammy’s curse was. He wished he didn’t see that, it would’ve so much easier to trust Sammy’s protection if he didn’t know that burden of the musician’s curse was like a werewolf’s curse except the ‘wolf’ part was scratched off and replaced with something else. The chill that ran down his spine when his eyes met the monster’s also didn’t help.

Buddy locked himself in his room, quickly taking off his clothes so they wouldn’t get ripped during the change and wrapping himself up in the provided blankets to keep himself from seeing his own transformation.

His heart pounded against his chest as he heard someone whimpering and scratching at the door on the other side.

“Focus, Buddy...” He tried to reassure himself. “Deep breaths, don’t get scared...”

He highly doubted he’d be lucid for his first full moon, but the idea of losing his mind and becoming a ravenous monster just didn’t sit well with him, So he tried his best to stay ‘awake’.

No matter how hard it was.

The curse started off his own changes with either his skin, his senses, or his mouth. He didn’t know for sure as it felt like all three were happening at once as he spat out a bloody mouthful of his own teeth into his hands and watched fur sprout up all over his arms, the taste and smell of blood in his mouth and on his now paw-like hands, as well as the smells and sounds of everything else in the cabin was overwhelmingly nauseating. 

“D-don’t freak out... the others have been through this lots of times... this is completely normal... Stay calm Buddy...”

He tossed aside the teeth and threw himself deeper into the blanket pile in spite of his body’s increasing temperature and new fur coat. The gofer couldn’t tell if the whimpering he heard was coming from the other wolves scratching at the door or from him.

The next thing the curse went after was everything else; muscles, bones, etc.

It was painful, but at the very least it was fast, he didn’t even have the time to whine for mercy before the malevolent force of the werewolf curse stopped. Buddy let out a sigh of relief as he dug himself out of his blanket cocoon.

He looked at the mirror and saw a frightened looking young wolf, his eyes still looked human and his fur seemed to match the color of his hair. While he didn’t like looking at this and calling it his reflection, he couldn’t help but feel a little bit proud of himself. In spite of fear trying to drive him to the same level as a wild animal, he was still him.

Or so he thought as he was startled by the sound of his door unlocking itself and creaking open.

He let out a yipe and started to bare his teeth and growl at the weird beaked creature that poked its head into his territory. The said creature was not impressed in the slightest and simply came into the room.

Buddy growled louder and snapped his jaws at the creature, his ears laid back and his hackles bristling straight up. While the creature did move away from his bite, it was still not impressed. Out of desperation, he lunged at the black-feathered beast, desperately trying to scare it out but the monster looked like it had dealt with this before as it glided out of the way of his attack and picked him up by the scruff of his neck.

The young wolf flailed, bit, clawed, and snapped at the creature. But he could swear that the beast’s only response to Buddy’s last-ditch efforts to keep himself alive were to roll its eyes and toss the wolf out of the room.

And into the line of sight of two other wolves. Both adults, one of them had pitch black fur, the other one had dark gray fur, but both of them had curious almost human-like eyes.

Thankfully, they smelled familiar to him. Even as a human, he could always recognize the smells of cleaning supplies, bacon soup, and ink. As he got a little bit more used to his new senses, while most of the smells and sounds were still new, and there was too much of it, he could at least identify what they were.

The black wolf came closer to him and sniffed his face before licking it. The other wolf pawed the first wolf’s face away from his own. Assuming that this was just some kind of greeting, Buddy sniffed the first wolf’s face and licked him back, the second wolf let out a noise that sounded like an amused snort.

THUNK

A loud noise from the kitchen that came with a new smell made him realize how hungry he was. Assumingly all thinking the same thing, the three wolves dashed into the kitchen to see the toppled-over cooler being raided by two other wolves. The bird like creature was biting and flapping its wings at them, clearly trying to keep them away from the coveted red meats the cooler held.

“STOP. EATING. PLASTIC!” The creature cried out to deaf ears of the pack. “YOU’RE GOING TO GET YOURSELVES SICK! JUST WAIT FOR ME TO UNWRAP THEM FIRST!”

This tyranny would not stand with the wolves, united as a pack, the five starved beasts joined forces against the giant bird-monster that stayed between them and their food.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Buddy woke up groaning with a headache, sore muscles, and an upset stomach the next morning.

Last night was a blur to the gofer, like a dream, the most of what happened during the full moon quickly faded from his mind as he woke up. If it wasn’t for the fact he could still see the bird-monster form of the music director looming over him in the cabin’s rafters, he would’ve chalked the whole thing up to just be a bad dream.

“Sammy?” He groaned. “What happened last night?”

“As soon as I opened the door, all of you ran to the fields instead of the woods.” The music director sounded like he was too tired to be irritated. “I tried to steer you back towards the woods because there was a barn over there, but as usual, none of you listened to me.” Okay, maybe he was still a little bit irritated.

“Oh no... Did I eat anything there?”

“No, but you did get your head stuck underneath a fence and whined until I let you out.”

Buddy blushed in embarrassment as he wrapped his blanket tighter around him.

“Don’t beat yourself up about it, everybody does stupid things the first time they change.”

“So how come you didn’t change back?”

“My curse isn’t determined by the moon, it’s determined by... other things. I don’t like talking about it.”

Sammy wrapped himself up in his wings, ending the conversation.

“G’morning.” Wally set down a fizzing glass of water by Buddy, the Janitor looked more exhausted now than he did after a 12-hour deep clean of the studio. “Ya might wanna drink that, it’ll help with the headache.”

“Thanks Wally.”

He smiled as he sipped down the liquid, while the gofer knew that the changes weren’t going to be easy for him to adjust to, at least he had other people who were willing to help him through it.

My old Bendy reimagining details

I’m just revealing this crap because shit didn’t get really started. 

Basically these were as of right now, the ages for characters in my Bendy reimagining AU. The story ideas Henry didn’t leave and he was there for Bendy’s, “Birth”. While Joey disowned Bendy, Henry tried his best to father Bendy(Who is basically Ink Bendy as you see in the game). Even though they kept Bendy secret from the public. 

Joey wanted to do more experiments but Henry didn’t allowed that. So either Henry committed suicide or likely actually Joey murdered him. Making him seem like he killed himself. Or I guess worked himself to death. With Henry gone, Bendy was locked away, with Joey being allowed to do whatever he wanted.

David Stein is Henry’s son who was a Vietnam vet who was honorably discharged after killing his commander who was raping a female prisoner of war. Which is why he was discharged but he did something very good. He killed a literal rapist.

David blames Joey for the death of his father and hates the company. Especially the fact it was still called, “Joey Drew Studios” yet Henry still worked with him. 

10 years or actually 20 years after his father’s death. Because no one knew Joey killed Henry actually. Joey invites David back with the idea that he wants to talk to him and understand him better. With the impression that maybe he could have David forgive him. 

But it’s actually David getting trapped in the studio and having to survive. Along with surviving with the rebels in a way. Which are Allison Angel, Tom The Wolf, Buddy Boris, and Wally The Devil. 

Which are basically reincarnated versions of employees who worked with Joey. 

Buddy Boris never became Brute Boris. I think Twisted Barry/Derek Brooker replaces him. With Dot Angel under Twisted Alice’s care possibly still. Along with Twisted Alice kidnapping Allison at one point. But she doesn’t become a monster.

We still also have Sammy Lawrence in there too. Trying to sacrifice people.

There is this theme and story of the fact Ink Bendy and David are basically brothers in a way. While not biologically, but they are. I guess with David finding out his dad was murdered. 

I guess it ends in a similar fashion as the original game. My ideas from, “Bendy And The Last Rebirth” were transferred to here.

David got his name from David Banner from The Incredible Hulk 1978 show. I was imagining him as a mix of the 1977 Spider-Man show version of Peter Parker and David Banner. With a bit of elements of Joel Miller’s skill from The Last Of Us. 

Originally David Stein would of been Andrew Joseph. A character I made up in an old reimaging idea of Bendy. Practically a younger version of Joey who was made by Joey to undo the wrongs of what he had done.

I think somehow I would of made shit more darker. Including other details like the studio would started in 1947 originally. In a time era close to when Tom And Jerry first started. But I wanted to keep that 1930′s origin. Including the story would of took place in 1977. But it seems like I changed it to 1979.

The reason I’m revealing this because I just got stuck on it. Along with Dark Revival isn’t out. Finally, I’m focusing on FNAF now. Because at least there’s a lot more to work with. While Bendy in a way right now, is kind of confusing. Despite I love the franchise more.

I didn’t put a year date of when Bendy would be, “Born”. While I think 1945. But I’m not sure. Because that is theorized to be his birth year in the main games timeline. I’m still talking about Ink Bendy. 

I’ve had this post since November 21st 2020...at 5:07 am...amazing.

Sammy x Norman story? Date night?

Summary: Sammy Lawrence has a date with Susie Campbell on Saturday night, but no dating experience to speak of and a lot of self-esteem issues. Norman ends intervening after Sammy ends up a nervous wreck all week, by taking the kid out on a test date to show him there's nothing to fret about.

---

 "I don't get what the big deal is." Wally brings up during their lunch break on Monday. "The spark is there. They talk all the time. They look like an outfit already, so what's got him all wet?" Norman shrugs as he watches Sammy try to disappear into his own shirt and coat like a spooked turtle, while Jack gave him a few reassuring pats on the back and tried to coax him into eating his (by now cold) bowl of bacon soup. The blond had been in that position for at least 15 minutes.   "Ain't like it's that big a thing. Miss Campbell just invited him ta go out to them dance club things." Wally took a large bite out of his sandwich. "Them Speakeasies are full of snobby music folk, he should be thrilled ta go meet his own kind and get ta hear music that ain't by his own hand."   "Maybe the kid's a dead hoofer." Norman pointed out. "Can't really imagine Sammy Lawrence breaking lose in a clip joint."   "A real cement mixer." Wally agreed. "Poor Miss Campbell."   "Hey now, don't be so harsh." Norman snorted "There's more to a date than the hop. Like ya said, there's magic between them. Ain't no bad rag gonna mess that up."   "Uh-huh... Tell that ta him." Wally pointed back to Sammy and Jack, the latter which had given up on trying to console his friend and was now instead trying to finish his own food. The music director looked a mess. Date night nerves really didn't look good on anyone, especially not when said date was five days away from now. Hopefully he'd go back to being his ornery grouchy self in no time.

-

     By Thursday everyone had about enough of Sammy's anxious disposition. He hadn't bounced back at all and was instead so nervous with anticipation for what he claimed would be a world class disaster of a date, that even Wally was beginning to turn sour with frustration.   "I feel like how my ma was feeling when my pa got a lawsuit for vandalizing property..." The janitor bemoaned as he emptied the bin in Norman's booth.   "And what's that?" The projectionist asked as he watched the violinist slowly wrap his hands around the neck of his instrument while watching Sammy pace with a dark irritated look. Half the band were becoming agitated from their conductor's agitation.   "Let's just say my pa got a few knocks on the noggin for being a real fink." Wally sighed "Look at me... I'm becomin' the new Sammy Lawrence! Ta new studio grouch!"   "That's sayin' somethin' alright..."   "If no one does anything, someone's bound ta pounce on him and maul him! I would. Jack ain't even bothering any more!" Wally turned to stare at Norman with a despairing look. "He broke Jack with anxiety!"   "Yeah... It's certainly becomin' a real problem. Someone gots to help the boy somehow..." Norman agreed that it was becoming an issue. If Sammy didn't stop fretting he wouldn't make it till Saturday.   "Glad ya offered, I knew I could trust ya!" Wally grinned as he picked up the trash bag and his broom and dustpan.   "Wait, what?"   "Good luck Norman!" Wally rushed off to toss the bags, unaware of his keyring popping loose and ending up in the floor of the projectionist's booth. Norman merely sighed, picked up the keys, twirled them with his index finger and wondered what he'd just gotten himself into.

-

  "Lock up your office and get presentable." He didn't even bother to knock, smiling slightly as he watched Sammy practically jump out of his skin.   "JESUS FUCKING CHRIST!" Sammy turned to face him, that familiar angry look on his face and hand clutching his chest.   "Come on Lawrence, I'm takin' yous somewhere nice."   ".... What?" The music director furrowed his brow in confusion.   "Ya heard me, now come on. Ain't got all night." He grabbed the younger man by the arm and hurriedly helped him get his coat on and his keys in his pocket, before practically dragging him along and out of the studio.   "What the fuck are you doing?!"   "Kidnappin' you and sellin' you on the black market. What do ya think Sammy?" Norman rolled his good eye. "Ya been grindin' on everyone's gears so bad that I wouldn't be surprised if ya ended up in a Chicago overcoat by Saturday!"   "A Chicago-- I haven't been so bad that people would want to kill me, Polk!" The blond actually sounded like himself. That was good, he needed to loosen up some if this plan were to work.   "Even Wally wants ta knock your lights out. Trust me, yous been a real jelly bean this week." That shut him up, a pout on his face. Sadly this was Sammy Lawrence so the silent walk didn't stay silent for long.   "What are you doing then, dragging me off like this? I've got places to be."   "No ya don't. Last I checked your sister's stayin' at my brother's to have one of 'em sleepovers with my little niece and nephew." Norman smirked.   "Do you always put that big nose of yours into everyone's business?" Sammy glared.   "You're one to talk with a beak like that." He shrugged off the insult, ignoring the way the blond put a hand to his own nose self-consciously. "I'm doin' ya, and everyone else, a favour by takin' ya out for dinner."   "....... W-what?"   "Nothin' fancy. Just this really cute diner I frequent once a week when I feel like treatin' myself. They got some good food."   "Norman that's... I can't. We cannot go out for dinner!"   "And why not?"   "For one, you're married! I'm not some home wrecker... And uh, I'm not... I'm not one of those..." The projectionist paused to stare at the music director. "You know... I'm not..."   "If ya so much as say a slur I'll be takin' ya to the hospital instead."   "I'm not gay! There! Happy?!"   "Takin' a guy out ain't gotta be gay, you damn pill. I'm tryin' ta help ya out with your actual date!"   "How?!"   "For one, sortin' out them nerves!" Norman crossed his arms and stared the blond down. "What's got your knickers all bunched up? You like Miss Campbell don't ya?"   "Of course I do!"   "Then what's got ya so scared ta commit?"   "Have you met me?! There's only so much I can do or say before she realizes she could do better!" What started out as an angry remark slowly became the most self deprecating thing Norman had ever heard Sammy say about himself. "I may be able to work a pretty tune, but I can't exactly pretty up my own attitude..."   "Who said anythin' bout prettyin' it up? You can't mask trash Lawrence."   "Hey!"   "But ya can recycle and improve what's salvageable..." He continued. "If ya feel like you ain't the best person because you don't like your own attitude, then try ta change it for the better. Yous is a talented hard workin' kid. You can definitely make yourself less of a twit."   "...You mean that?"   "Yeah, I don't go lyin' ta people. Now come on, let's work out them datin' issues over dinner. I am kinda hungry and it'll help get some practice in."   ".... I guess I could eat."

-

     Sammy gets home close to midnight. He spent an entire evening with Norman slowly working out the issue with his nerves. Between idle work conversation, discussions of interests, and then a few attempts at fluid flirting (which started of as one hell of a derailed train until he could slowly rework it into a slightly functioning locomotive), things kinda slotted into place. Complimenting someone he'd worked with for a while came... Surprisingly easy. And Sammy wasn't a words guy, so that was saying a lot! They'd gone for a walk around the block and then in the park afterwards, just talking and enjoying themselves, and then ended the night with Norman walking him to his apartment and then going off to his own home. Now on his own, feeling less anxious about what was to come on Saturday night, Sammy found himself with a newer issue. He might have just fallen in love with a married man.   "Oh no..." Oh no indeed...

could you list a couple of snowflake fusions, whether or not the fusion is stable, and the fusions personality?

I apologize, I forgot about this for a little. 

I’m also not entirely sure what to do. I guess I’ll do the other toons. 

Alice&Snowflake: Usually stable, although I think they would become unstable if put in the spotlight. They’re sweet, kind, and demure, preferring to keep to themselves or hang out with Susie or Sammy.

Boris&Snowflake: Probably the most stable of the three fusions. Quiet and good-natured, he shares Boris and Snowflake’s love of food and fondness for Wally. He spends a lot of time with Wally.

Bendy&Snowflake: The fusion has his stable moments, but for the most part he’s more unstable given Bendy’s responsibilities and Snowflake's childish mindset. The fusion is cheerful and responsible, kind of like a big brother figure from a cartoon.

sammy's relationship with other batim characters?

shit this is a long one UHHHHHHH also keep in mind some of these may be tentative and we’re talking about the time period before Henry left unless otherwise specified:

Henry: best friend, pretty much his older brother; is easily soothed by his warmth and easygoing nature; deeply respects him; owes Henry his life; nowhere is safer than when he’s near Henry; spending time with Henry feels like returning home, every timeJoey: best friend, also pretty much his older brother; Joey drives him crazy at times but he does love him; owes Joey his life; like Henry, spending time with Joey feels like returning home (and he does in fact live with Joey)Susie: best friend, utterly in love with her; her vibrancy lights up his life and sets his heart on fire; he can spend hours just talking nonsense with her; often runs pieces by her; she tests many of his songs with him; plays songs just for herJack Fain: good friend; was originally a little bitter that Joey decided to hire a lyricist when Sammy had been writing the lyrics just fine, but softened up to the dweeb with the hatAllison: Susie’s best friend and a good friend of Sammy’s; she often pops in to see him with Susie and Alice; good friend of his; amused by her and Susie’s shenanigans; appreciate the ladies’ attempts to make him feel better when things go awryThomas: friend of a friend; doesn’t really know him, thinks he’s fine, respects that he’s a man who takes no shit; happy to hang out with him during weekly pool nights; casual friend (later, Thomas becomes a much-appreciated asset and ally with whom has had some very impactful conversations, but neither spent a ton of time around the other)Wally: Wally drives him insane with his absent-mindedness and silliness and how he pulls pranks on him, but he does care about the man’s well-being; casual friend, although Wally probably is not aware that Sammy feels that wayNorman: drives him a little crazy sometimes with how hard it can be to find him, but he likes Norman well enough; little competitive with him when it comes to pool; respects his ability to see things before most people do; casual friendGrant: forever jealous of the man’s ability to avoid the ink spills; casual friendLinda: he hates her but wanted, badly, to call a truce between them all because Henry loved all of them and that’s what mattered to SammyShawn: didn’t really know him, but enjoyed his company fine enough during pool night; friendly acquaintance, maybe bordering casual friendDamian Matthews: first oc character on this list and Bendy’s voice actor; Damian, like Wally, drives Sammy crazy, but he does care about the man; very competitive when it came to weekly game night, especially when it came to darts and pool; casual friend, not that Sammy ever let him know thatBailey Newman: Boris’s voice actor; he appreciates Bailey’s calm, relaxed nature and especially appreciates his ability to sometimes reign his stupid best friend in; casual friendBertrum: came to the studio after Henry left along with Lacie; Sammy felt equal parts pity and disgust for him; he’s such a dick and he despises how he treats the toons but at the same time, watching Joey push his buttons wasn’t enjoyableLacie: she knows her shit and keeps to herself and treated the toons well and he can respect that; friendly acquaintanceMurray Hill: he’s a dick, full stop

Bendy: evil little shit, but he’s a good kid and for all Sammy’s ranting, he recognizes this and cares deeply for him; by virtue of the fact that he’s someone who needs protection and guidance, Sammy takes treatment of him very seriously; Bendy loves pranking Sammy (sometimes with help) because Sammy’s reactions are always so over the top; near the end of the studio’s existence as a normal studio, the two started to bond more and gain more of an understanding one another as they saw each other more vulnerable than usualAlice: Sammy sees her as being kind of Susie’s daughter; this and her clear consideration for Sammy’s feelings, as well as her passion and kindness, makes Sammy soften around her; he calls her ‘my dear’Boris: Boris is by nature a helper and sometimes, because he’s a toon, his help makes things worse; Boris can frustrate him in this way, and especially when he teams up with bendy or anyone else to pull pranks, but he has a soft spot for the wolf and enjoys playing music with him

After Henry leaves, Sammy ends up sort of becoming the toons’ caretaker, something he was not prepared to do, but is completely willing to do if they need it. For awhile he’s unaware that nobody’s looking after the toons because he thinks Joey’s making sure they eat and go to bed and have supervision. Realizing that Joey’s not taking care of them at all comes slowly as he discovers things bit by bit.

Lewis and the Ink Machine Au! ; - ;

It's possible that I'm crazy enough to have had this idea of ​​UA, okay, we're going to start.

Let me introduce you how this stupid and new alternate universe of "Mystery Skulls" and "Bendy and the ink machine" that I have invented works. Everything is very different, but the story is almost the same.. Hmmp..

(LEWIS) Lewrence S. Pepper / "Lewly Pie" : Sammy Lawrence / Bendy.

Lewis occupied the job of musical composer of the series of "Robert Drew Studios. Inc", he was very happy in his work that until the owner of the studio (and the grandfather of his girlfriend) began to concentrate on an old ink machine that began to wreak havoc in his area of ​​trade, because they had to go every day to his office to download a lever that caused a lot of noise, so he always ended up being off balance and not doing well the songs he needed for the next chapters of the program. So soon after, he began to suspect that Drew's plans were not going to bring something good, which is why he and other studio employees went to complain, only to be ignored. Lewis, after being corrupted by the ink of the study, ended up becoming "Lewdy Lewis", his friendly version of caricature, very based on how was the main character of the series, Bendy. When it transforms into its demonic part, the control ends up being taken by ???, another entity that is evil, presumably the demonic spirit with which Robert made a deal to bring the ink machine and his caricatures to life. Also, causing a horrible outcome for the other employees of the study. The second malignant entity inside him convinced him that his friend Arthur abandoned them there in the studio, not knowing why he had left, Lewis ended up getting a new objective: To take revenge on Arthur for abandoning them all here, although, finally, the boy discovers that the blond's motives for leaving the workshop were very horrifying and obscure, not least that he became an ink monster, but in part he could say that in what he tries to suffer they are even.

(ARTHUR) Arthury S. Kingsmen: Henry Stein.

Arthur was one of several animators in "Robert Drew Studios. Inc". After being enlisted to go to war, and "fortunately" being returned some three years later without an arm, he ends up two years later receiving a letter from his former employer Robert Drew and returns to his old job studio only to find an ink machine and a lot of cartoon nightmares lurking that were once their beloved friends and co-workers. He have a horrible trauma for the war..

(VIVI) Vivianne Drew Yukino / "Vivi Angel" : Allison Penddle / Allison Angel.

Vivi was part of the cast of "Bendy's Show" as the replacement for the voice of Alice Angel, also the girlfriend of one of the composers and granddaughter of the owner of the studio. After being corrupted by the ink machine, she ended up becoming "Vivi Angel", a version of her in a caricature a bit like the cartoon angel..

(MYSTERY) Robert Mysterious Drew / "Mystery" : Joey Drew.

He is a ancient powerful kitsune, as well as the founder of his old company "Robert Drew Studios". He is also known as Arthur's former employer, who collaborated with him by making caricatures in the workshop with Vivi and Lewis, along with other workers. He is known as someone wise and believing, before he was a little ignorant and too stubborn, because he ignored the complaints of his employees. He almost always talked about something of "appeasing the gods" with the ink machine, as well as the offerings on pedestals in the Hall of Power, some in the studio hinting that Robert could be very obsessed and crazy. When he discovered what had happened with the ink machine, as soon as Arthur returned from the war, he ended up living with him in the form of a puppy for about three years before sending Arthur a note inviting him to return to his workshop that he had "something to show him". Thing that was very far from the truth, because he hopes that with Arthur's help he could find a way to fix all the damage he had done, both for Arthur himself and for the other workers in the studio, that includes his granddaughter and to Lewis. In his letter, it is implicit that the company went out of business 5 years ago, and therefore they had stopped collaborating.

(SHIROMORI) Sakura Shiana Campbell / "Shiro Angel" : Sussie Campbell / Alice Angel.

She was the voice actress of Alice Angel of "Robert Drew Studios", that until it was changed by the granddaughter of the owner of the studio, Vivianne Drew. She used to believe that Alice Angel was like a part of her, that could mean that she had dreams of making her fame great while acting like Alice Angel. Sakura worked in the studio for two months before her unexpected replacement, which she considered to be the end of the world. She used to have a little romance story with Robert in her youth, that's until he finished with her just to leave her, because he had ended up falling in love with another woman, which turned out to be the grandmother of Vivi. When he transformed into his corrupted version as "Shiro Angel," he ended up being gentle and sweet to become a very cruel and sadistic creature. She has great resentment with the owner of the abandoned studio, Robert Drew, who is currently in his puppy form as Arthur's pet, named Mystery, due to his intelligence and strange first encounter with Arthur (story that will be for another time). Therefore, in most of the following episodes, Shiro Angel tries to assassinate Mystery by paying minimal attention to Arthur.

(CHLOE) Charlotte Wenney F. / "Charis Chloe" : Wally Franks / Wally!Boris.

She seemed to suspect the workshop with Lewis, that includes Robert's plans and the ink machine. She also seemed to have been worried about some of the situations within the company, including the abundance of ink leaks from the machine. His voice from his second diary cassette gives directions on how to get some beginner composers to Lewis' office. In one part of her tape, she complains that she lost Lewis' keys in one of the trash cans, and she has a bad feeling about what the boy would do if he ever finds out that he had lost his keys. She is known as one of the mechanics assistants in the studio, sometimes helping with the operation of the ink machine, even though she feels a bad feeling about it. He almost always found himself distracting himself from his work or not understanding what Lance was saying, because he almost always escaped to talk to Arthur alone about anything. When it became her corrupt form due to the studio ink, she forgot almost all of her memories of who she was in the past, making an exception with the Kingsman family, of course, that includes her dear friend Arthur.. To which she believes missing.

(LANCE) Lancelot Connor Kingsman / "Lanris Lance" : Thomas Connor / Tom!Boris.

Lancelot Kingsman here is the owner of a Kingsmen Mechanics of a slightly more retro style, in addition, he is in "Robert Drew Studios" one of the workers in charge of making sure that the endless pipe of the ink machine is kept in its best way, is frustrated by the instability of the system as time passes, almost always said he was tired of fighting the operation of the machine for quite some time, and finally declares that he refuses to do anything else about it. Thing, which is demonstrated in one of its recording cinemas. His corrupted form still retains most of his memories, that includes his nephew Arthur, only having forgotten his name in some part, changing it to "Lanris Lance".

(MR. AND MRS. PEPPERS) Julio Pepper / "Junnyloon Pie" | Selena Pepper / "Sellaine Pie" : The two searchers.

Lewis' parents, or rather, Mr. and Mrs. Peppers, were in charge of the animation workshop cafeteria. They made any kind of meals and desserts, but their favorites were those that consisted of sweet and spicy flavors. When the leak in the ink pipe occurred, they ended up separating from their other three daughters and from Lewis, also becoming monsters of ink. They do not keep most of their memories of who they were before, just remembering their taste for sweet and spicy food, and their three children. Not remembering much of their names either. You can see them wandering around in the studio looking for and calling for their three children...

(THE SISTERS PEPPERS) Canelle Pepper / "Cannyelle Striker-Pep" | Bellenia Pepper / "Belle Fishper" | Paprika Pepper / "Primka Pieper" | 'The little Pepper's gang' : The butcher's gang.

Its corrupted versions are based on the trio of characters in the program who played antagonists. Before transforming they used to be very fan of the series, for which, his brother Lewis who worked with his parents in the studio ended up taking them one day at work, unfortunately everything ended badly for these three girls. They forgot most of their lives at that time, the only thing they know about their past are some memories they have with their family and nothing else, they also forgot a lot of their names, changing them over time, being currently known as "The little Pepper's gang".

(DUET) Duethan Polk / "The proyeccionist" : Norman Polk / The proyeccionist.

He was the band director to collaborate with Robert Drew on "Robert Drew Studios." It seems that Duet did not know what Lewis and Robert were doing in the studio, because, while Lewis was investigating Robert's experiments, Robert got into things he should not lighten up. He had a very mysterious and changing personality, the only time he could be seen smiling was while holding a projector, receiving from Arthur, Vivi and Lewis the funny nickname of "the projectionist". When he became an ink monster, little could be seen of his previous clothes with his dark and humanoid form, in addition to the terrifying projection camera attached to his head .. He ended up completely forgetting who he was before being that frightening ink monster. Of course, thanks to Arthur, he recovered much of his memories in the studio and very good memories of when he was still a good human being.

(???) ??? / "EVIL Lewly" : Beast Bendy!

??? is the evil identity that is currently inside Lewis, transforming him into an ink monster, into a demon, and at the same time, into a caricatured version of himself with certain similarities to the main character of "Robert Drew Studios", Bendy, the demon dancer He convinced Lewis that Arthur abandoned them all in the studio on purpose, giving him a terrible thirst for vengeance and evil powers despite his caricature appearance. When Lewis is really angry, ??? Take control and transform into a chilling ink beast ready to kill everything that moves. This entity can only be heard by Lewis, although he ends up repressing it enough that he would cease to exist within him, realizing the true truth: Arthur never wanted them to die in this place, he left, not because he wanted, but because he had been sent to fight in the war.. The creature is a demon invoked by Robert, who in an attempt to give life to his creations, made a deal with it, with Lewis spying and watching everything that happened from the other side of your door. After that, there was a pipe leak that filled the whole damn ink studio that turned everyone into sad shadows of what they were before. Lewis unfortunately was close enough to the ritual for the demonic spirit to end up sneaking inside him and transforming him even faster into an ink monster. The boy could not do anything about it, unfortunately. ??? He has a cruel personality, dismissed and sadistic, and he is very envious.

The drawings are still in the process of being created, this blog will be edited, when all of them are ready!

¡Thanks for reading!

¡BYE!

Becoming Human (Chapters One, Two, and Three)

((quick mun note: im hella behind on submissions (sorryyyy!!! i’ll get to them all soon I promise ; w ; but for now here’s part of a fic I received that I’ve decided to condense into one post just for convenience, written by an anonymous user! also feel free to shoot me now for this joke but toons: become human. okay anyway hERE’S THE FIC--))

(All Credit goes to the mun)

Chapter One:

Bendy shut the door behind him carrying something in his hands. Boris and Alice were seated on the floor “Ok I managed to get it out before papa drew noticed.” he flopped the book on the floor Alice frowned “I’m still not sure this is a good idea.” Bendy opened the book “Do you want to be cooped up here forever?” Alice shook her head. Bendy nodded “Then were doing this.” He turned to Boris “Go ahead buddy.” Boris got up and started to drew a circle around the floor “Good.” he turned to Alice she sighed and took out the candles. Bendy placed the book in the middle “Ok and now…” he took out the ink and poured it on the page. Boris walked into circle and did the same. Alice looked at the bottle then to the page she sighed and proceeded to the middle “I hope this works.” she poured the ink on to the page. They stepped back “And now we wait.” Alice frowned “For how long?” Bendy shrugged “I don’t know.”

Lately the toons were beginning to feel trapped. It started when they heard people talking about there plans when they got out of work, what they did on vacation and so much more. At first the toons had tried to ignore the conversation then it became much more. The toons were aware they were immortal but…the thought of outliving everyone they ever loved was beginning to bother them some more. So here they were sitting in the circle waiting for their transformation began. Joey sighed as he read over the expense report Maybe I should switch to cheaper coffee? Or I could make a full length movie after all they seem to do we-A loud thundering crash was heard Joey dropped the files and ran directly to where the sound had been emitted. When the bright light had dissipated Bendy, Boris, And Alice unshielded there eyes and looked at the book. The ink was gone. “Did it-whoa Alice-” She looked up not to see her brother but a young boy in a dark shirt and bowtie wearing an equally dark shorts “B-bendy?” he looked at her still in shock. Alice looked down gone was her inky tone but now it was a pleasant fair-skinned one she touched her hair “My halo!” She looked in the mirror A white hairband was neatly placed over her hair. “Boris?” they both turned gone was his fur and now was just a neat boyish face. his hair was matted and wore a nice black shirt with a white tie.

They heard a knock at the door “Kids? is everything ok? Kids!” Bendy locked the door “Were fine papa drew.” Alice mouthed to him ‘What re we going to do?’ he shrugged. On the bright side they were thrilled to be human on the downside…how would Joey react? Hesitation “Bendy did you take my book?” Bendy looked at his siblings “Um…Well…” he hesitated “How many times have I told you not to mess with the book?” Bendy sighed “Sorry Papa.” hesitation “Well just give it back and we’ll call it a day ok?” Boris shook his head. Finally Alice spoke up “Um…Papa Drew we have something to show you.” Joey sighed “Well what is it?” he tried the door, it was lock “Do you promise not to be mad at us?” Boris asked Joey sighed whatever the toons had done it couldn’t have been to bad “I promise.” he heard some whispering then with a couple sighs the door was unlocked. Joey looked at the toons…except they weren't toons anymore, they were children

(All Credit goes to the mun, and yes this is a fluffy story but it might not stay fluffy)

Chapter Two:

They looked at their father sheepishly. It took Joey a few moments to find his voice “You-Your-” Alice stepped in “Please don’t be mad we made this decision together, no one was forced.” Bendy and Boris nodded in agreement. Joey looked at them silently Boris looked about 12, Bendy 9, and Alice 8. Well to be fair they were made differently but why was Boris older? Did it matter? they were still his children “Then I support your choice.” He opened his arms for a hug in which the toons (Er Kids)  accepted. That night he decided to drive over to Henry’s house to let him in on the news. Needless to say Henry was surprised. They were now seated on the couch while they’re father made tea (Dianne was out with the baby)  “So…” Henry started “What made you decide to become human?” Alice was the first to speak up “You know…Curiosity.” Alice lied. Henry looked at her “Well I mean everyone else was human so we wanted to live like humans.” Boris nodded. Henry smiled softly “Well of course I support this decision…But you know being human isn’t all…” He paused well they were still children “Well we can have that talk when you get older in the meantime."  he smiled "We’ll have to get you some more clothes, Alice maybe Susie can take you shopping.” she smiled “Really!” Henry nodded “Really.” He looked over to Bendy and Boris “And I suppose I could take you shopping.” Boris and Bendy smiled.

Joey came back in with the tea “You still have to follow the same rules.” he sat down by Henry “Bendy, I don’t think you changed that much so no pranking Sammy if he’s really busy.” He turned to Boris “That goes for you too no mischief if its really busy.” he then turned to Alice handing her tea “Keep an eyes on things my little angel.” Alice smiled but thought “Do we still have to voice act?” Joey nodded “After all Bendy, Alice, And Boris are still you but only if your actors aren’t available.” Bendy thought for a moment “What if no one else accepts this.” Henry nearly spat out his tea. Joey smiled “Well somehow I can think of a couple people who won’t mind.” He could already hear the music directors happy cheer. Henry spoke up “And besides, your still the toons we know and love, except human.” Joey nodded putting the tea down “Although you will have to do what normal kids do.” Bendy looked at him “Like what?” Joey smiled “Well…”

As predicted the next morning everyone was pretty much surprised to see the toons had turned into children. Sammy of course was more than thrilled (mostly because he thought the pranks would stop or at the very least be less disruptive.) Wally offered to teach them how to wash their hands (Because after all they weren’t cartoons anymore) and Susie was delighted at the prospect of being able to take Alice shopping. All and all everyone was more than accepting. However as everyone went to work the kids decided to explore with their new human bodies. Alice looked at her hair curiously in the mirror “I wonder what’ll happen if I style it now?” She looked at the clock “I’ll ask Susie later.” she went to catch up with her brothers. They went down to the break room “Anyone else kind of thirsty?” Bendy asked. Boris and Alice nodded “What are we supposed to drink?” Boris asked. They looked over to the sink “Water?” Bendy suggested. Alice looked at the sink “It won’t make us sick will it?” Bendy scoffed “Of course not were human remember.” Alice frowned “We’ll need cups.” Boris walked to the cabinet. They each took a cup and put some water in it “ Ok 1,2,3!” they took a sip. “Wow that is really good.” the other two agreed.

By the time lunch rolled around Sammy had set something down in front of the kids “You need to eat more than that bacon soup stuff so here.” they opened the bags “What is this?” Sammy sat down “Vegetables.” they looked at each other “Vegetables?” he sighed “How else you going to grow up.” Boris cocked his head “Grow up?” Sammy sighed “Look I don’t have time for this ask Joey.” he got up and walked away. They looked at each other “Well then I guess we did it right.” Bendy smiled but then looked down at the vegetables “So um…” Alice sighed “It’s good for us.” after lunch the kids decided to sit up at the projector with Norman happily watching their toon selves. “Hey Norman?” he looked at him “Hmm?” Bendy pointed to the cartoon “How come humans can’t do that?” Norman smiled “Well we don’t have that capabilities.” they looked at each other “Oh.” Boris tilted his head “Why?” Norman sighed “Well…” He wasn’t sure how to explain this…Luckily the kids went back to the cartoons.

That night Joey tucked his children into bed “How about tomorrow we go out maybe go to the park, get some dinner?” Boris smiled “I love that.” Bendy nodded “I love that to.” He pulled the blankets over to them and smiled “Goodnight boys I love you.” he kissed their foreheads. He then went to Alice’s room and told her the plans “I think that’s splendid.” she frowned “But who will take over?” Joey smiled “Henry will of course tomorrow it’ll just be the four of us.” Alice hugged Him “I love you papa.” Joey smiled “I love you to my little angel.” He kissed her forehead and shut the door. He sighed and went over to his office.

Chapter Three:

Joey woke up to a sudden scream. Immediately he ran over to Alice’s bedroom. She was sitting on her bed staring at her hair. Joey tried to hold back a slight giggle and went over to her bedside. He spent 15 minutes brushing her hair “Better?” Alice looked in the mirror “Thanks Papa Drew.” he smiled. Boris woke up curled up at the foot of the bed “Oh.” he blushed a deep shade of red and got up walking over to Bendy’s bed waking him up. They sat down at the breakfast table Joey had made three bowls of oatmeal “I’ll be right back ok.” they nodded. Henry yawned making his way over to his desk. “Good morning Henry do you have a moment?” Henry sighed and rubbed his glasses “Sure what is it?” Joey smiled “Do you think you can watch the studio?” Henry looked surprised “How long?” Joey smiled nervously “You know maybe for a day?” Henry was confused but looked to see the kids “Sure. You taking them out?” Joey nodded “Well…” Henry smiled softly “It’s fine go ahead.” Joey went from nervous to hopeful “You sure?” Henry nodded “I’m sure we’ll be fine here.” Joey was more than happy “Oh Henry thank you so much!"

The kids got up and put their bowls in the sink "Ok ready to go?” Bendy and Boris nodded Alice smiled “Lets go.” they met Joey by the office door “Were ready papa drew!” Joey smiled “Alright then lets go.” a while later they were in the car again heading to the park. Joey smiled at their wonder knowing today was going to be a busy day. They went to the park where Boris and Bendy went off to play. Alice in the meanwhile stuck near her father taking the time to look around and appreciate her surroundings. After a few moments Joey looked up to see the boys talking to other kids. He smiled then came to a realization and rushed over. “So yeah we live with-” Before Bendy could finish Joey grabbed his hand “Heh excuse us.” the two women eyed him cautiously. He pulled Bendy to the side “What did you tell them?” Bendy tilted his head “About my brother and sister.” Joey sighed in relief then sternly said “Bendy do not tell them who you were before or anything about the studio ok?” Bendy looked at him “Why?” Joey sighed then looked him in the eye “I just don’t want anything to happen to you ok?” Bendy nodded and went over again to play. Joey sighed.

Come lunchtime they decided to head over to the diner near the studio. Bendy, Alice and Boris immediately ran over to the swivel chairs and sat down. Joey smiled before going to join them. They ordered their lunch and waited around. Bendy looked over to see a boy his age sitting by his mother. Bendy smiled and waved the child waved back the woman looked over and stopped in shock she whispered something and the child ran over to where they were seating “Excuse me sir are you Joey Drew?” Joey smiled “That would be me.” of course what that started were the next three minutes being people lined up for either an autograph or a complaint about his show no in between. Alice, Bendy, and Boris were almost touched by how many people seemed to care about the show. After lunch he took them to see a movie. After that they came back to the studio. Alice smiled at Joey “Thank you for today Papa Drew.” Boris and Bendy cried in unison “Yeah thanks Papa Drew.” He smiled as they ran off to play some more.

Susie had stopped him on the way to his office to drop off a couple bags having Sammy bring in a couple more “Just figured they would need to have more than one article of clothing.” Sammy sighed “Yeah…Well mostly cause I…” Susie elbowed him “Am more than happy to help the toons…er kids.” Joey looked at the bags “Well thank you both that is awfully kind thing for you to do.” Susie smiled “Think nothing of it Mr.Drew were happy to help anyway we can.” Sammy thought of something “Oh and Shawn had a couple rejects he fixed up for them something about kids needing the basic toys of childhood.” They went to leave then Susie turned “Oh and Wally brought them candy and soda so…Just be careful of how much they have with that the couple. Left, Joey was happy for the support and hand me downs given by the employees but for some reason his heart felt incredibly heavy. He was glad the to-kids were getting to live a normal life-But something about the ritual still worried him, though he didn't know what.

(( Aww this is so wholesome! I feel bad for the toons though, because of their reasons for wanting to be human and understanding what’s going to inevitably happen thanks to their immortality ; w ; But, at least they can enjoy being human for now, and it’s so nice to see how quick everyone was to help Joey n his “new” kids xD And I can see Susie seems pretty excited about them too, which is adorable. Bit of a cliffhanger at the end there though, makes me worry about what might be in store ; w ; thank you for the fic!!))

BATIM General Headcanons for All Characters

Some general headcanons for all the characters. This will probably be updated every once in a while. I’m leaving out ages and appearances due to having a separate post for that.

Here is that post: http://regularpsycho13.tumblr.com/post/169404093757/batim-human-designs-headcanons

Sammy Lawrence:

- Sammy is a workaholic and is constantly working on his songs.

- He can be friendly once you get to know him.

- Can be happy and still be frowning.

- Cares about his friends and will stand up for someone if he has to.

- With all the distractions he has to deal with, he’s constantly getting headaches or migraines. Which make it harder to work.

- After a while of knowing each other, he and Susie got into a relationship. They were pretty happy and she saw his true self outside of work.

- He’s actually a pretty happy guy when he isn’t working and despite what people may think, is pretty fun too.

- In fact, when he drinks enough to get drunk he ends up being a funny drunk

- Sammy doesn’t actually hate Wally as much as people think he does. He just sees him as an annoying distraction. He doesn’t want him hurt or killed even. Hell, if something happens to him, he’ll go straight into a ‘big brother’ mode due to having a younger sister that’s roughly Wally’s age.

- His sister is 20-22 years old and is currently nameless. She has the same blue eyes as her brother but her hair is more blonde.

- He’s against smoking. Especially in the music department but anyone who does smoke never listens to him.

- He had a smallish mix breed dog that kept him company at home and was the light of his life before meeting Susie. Susie actually fell in love with his dog. And was always holding her when she was over. .

- When Sammy started having a sanctuary, it was at the same time that his mental health started to get bad due to the ink, pump, and other distractions. And he began to lose his mind. However, his memory stayed the same.  

- It’s possible that Joey was doing satanic things to him and making him hear voices a short time before he became a ink a monster. As a ink monster is where he was constantly hearing voices and screams in the ink and his head.

- After becoming a ink monster, his memory already started to get screwed up so he doesn’t quite understand why “Alice” is constantly yelling and attacking him. After being attacked so many times Sammy decided to just stay in the Music Department.

- Through his loneliness and quickly dwindling mental health and memory, he decided to pray to a ‘God’ to set him and the others free. At some point he decided Bendy was his Lord and began to worship him.  

- After so many years, the old Sammy officially died as he became too corrupted to care about others and began to sacrifice anyone he could. Anything to free him from that body.

Norman Polk:

- He’s the father figure of the group that everyone goes to. He’ll gladly listen and give advice.

- It’s a tie between him and Wally on who gives the best hugs.

- His family had a golden retriever and a fairly big fish tank.

- He smokes. And enjoys making Sammy hate it.

- Even though most of the employees find him creepy for ‘always watching and creeping around’, others still like and care about him.

- For the most part, he’s fine with his coworkers. It’s Joey that he doesn’t like but can’t quit the job.

- Loves the dark

- Dad jokes.

- As the Projectionist, he remembers having kids but their faces and bodies are blacked out with ink. He keeps a Boris plushie and a blanket with him in a room to make up for it.

- Unfortunately he also doesn’t remember his wife.

- Projectionist and Corrupted!Sammy are on okay terms and mutually decided to leave the other alone.

- He also can’t speak but can make clicking noises as the Projectionist and can hear perfectly.

- His lens can cry ink when he’s sad.

Wally Franks:

- Though he can legally drink, he’s still pretty childish and immature at times.

- Mostly everyone doesn’t mind. It’s nice having a ‘class clown’ so to speak.

- Except Sammy. He finds Wally annoying half the time and a big distraction.

- He had a beagle named Lucy.

- Before being killed by Joey in an attempt to become the ‘Perfect Boris’, Joey may have also done satanic things to him too. A few people noticed that he had suddenly became quiet and wasn’t his usual happy self. He even seemed afraid and jumpy.

- I like they theory that Wally is the perfect Boris and the reason he doesn’t talk is due to Joey threatening to beat him or rip his vocal cords out due to a mute Boris being better than one with the wrong voice.

- Due to being so scared already, Wally listened and remained silent. By the time he meets Henry, due to being 30 years later, he doesn’t remember him.

- Before Henry left, he and Wally were pretty close and Henry also saw him as a brother like Sammy did.

- After Henry left, he became best friends with Shawn who really made him happy again.

- He’s someone I will probably add more to later.

Susie Campbell:

- Usually she’s the sweetest person in the studio and is very friendly.

- But watch out when she’s angry or upset due to being pretty emotional and sensitive. Especially to certain things.

- Susie is wonderful to be around when she’s happy. She’ll also be there to help you with your lines and anything else.

- She had a cat and she and Sammy’s dog got along when Susie brought her over to see how they would act.

- After she and Norman went missing, her older sister helped Norman’s wife take care of their kids due to her being a housewife and not having a job. His wife was very thankful and their boys eventually became friends with her kids.  

- Her and Sammy always made great music together with her voice and his banjo. If he needed to test some songs, she was the one he asked to help.

- After finding out she was being replaced, she started to become unsure if Sammy still loved her and her voice. It got to the point that she started to distance herself from him.

- Not too long afterwards Joey killed her and Allison and kind of cut up their bodies and stitched different parts together since they were both Alice.  

- Susie is mostly in control of “Alice” with Allison being the other voice. She still holds hatred towards Sammy, thinking he betrayed her and her love. And constantly tried to attack and hurt him after he became a ink monster too.

- Him not remembering only angered her further.

- I’ll add more later for her.

Allison Pendle:

- She is actually a timid and shy person.

- Had no idea she was replacing Susie until she walked into the recording booth. She wanted to apologize and talk but Sammy told her to not bother, knowing how she gets when she’s upset and angry.

- And that she’ll likely make the situation worse.

- Meh. That’s it for now. We don’t know much about her other than she being Susie’s replacement.

Shawn Flynn:

- From ireland

- Is very friendly and bit of a flirt too.

- Laidback and chill

- Will give relationship advice

- He and Wally always joke with each other and even have inside jokes that no one can figure out.

- Actually, he and Wally are  best friends. Especially after Henry left. Shawn really cheered him up.

Grant Cohen:

- Is 10000% done with Joey and having to constantly make sure he doesn’t make the place go bankrupt. And struggling to keep the budget in line.

- Also not much to say about him, Shawn, and Thomas at the moment.

- Another smoker.

- He needs to when dealing with Joey.

Thomas Conner:

- Has a resting bitch face

- Might seem like a cold person but is actually pretty sweet and cares about his friends

- Joey is far from being his friend but he pays him so he sticks around.

- He smokes too.

- Literally everyone needs to smoke when dealing with Joey and his ideas.

Henry:

- Henry didn’t agree with most or all of Joey’s ideas but he knew there was no point in talking him out of it due to how stubborn Joey is.

- Joey overworked him and he rarely saw Linda anymore. Even just two weeks into the company which started in the early-mid 1930s.

- Boris was the first character they made before Henry made Bendy. After he left, Joey started to torture him so to speak and that’s why he was always getting scared and crying in the cartoons that we’ve seen so far.

- Henry may also be the one to be the ‘Perfect Bendy’ due to being the real creator.

- Was drafted during World War 2 and that was why he left.

- He was too traumatized from it that he stayed away from the studio until he received his letter from Joey. Though he did try and contact his old friends but found they had all disappeared.

- Linda is his wife and while they never had kids, they had cats and dogs. The dogs being mostly rescued mutts.They were a big comfort after Henry came back and was suffering from PTSD.

- After finding out his friends were missing they moved out of the city only to go back a little over 20 years later to their old home since Henry wasn’t suffering from PTSD as much anymore.

- When he got the letter, he thought it was a joke before finally deciding to go back to the old studio for good times sake.

Joey Drew:

- May of gotten Polio or some sort of decease at some point either before or after Henry left and that was what made him start looking into satanic things to make himself live forever and heal himself.

- He and Henry were best friends but he was angry at Henry before he left, not understanding that due to being drafted he didn’t have much choice. Plus Henry wanted to help his country.

- His anger and last conversation that they had was part of the reason Henry didn’t look for Joey right away and eventually found out that he ‘disappeared’

- He always changes the deadlines and pisses his employees off. Sammy is especially angry at this.

- Joey gradually started to do some satanic things and tested them out on a few employees. Sammy and Wally being two of them.

- Eventually he got one ink machine and when his employees came out as ink monsters, he got a second one to the disappointment of Grant, and this one made them come out almost (Alice and the Butcher Gang) or completely perfect (Perfect Boris)

- Sammy and Norman was forced into the first machine and got lucky to have a humanoid body.But Joey went a few extra steps more and forced a projector onto Norman’s head along with wires and a speaker.

- He used satanic stuff to keep his employees from leaving and killed them one by one (That’s at most 100 employees). Now the only way to truly escape is to destroy the second(main) ink machine.

- Joey is Ink!Bendy and wants revenge on Henry for never coming back.

giant BATIM pre game headcannons post

So um I may have gotten carried away with this- 

This is gonna be a long post guys buckle up 

* When Bendy was first summoned, he was very anxious and shy. He really only trusted Joey at first, but grew to trust everyone else eventually. * Wally had the hardest time gaining Bendy's trust * After getting used to the studio and it's workers, bendy outgrew most of his shyness. He still gets pretty anxious, especially in crowds, but around the studio he's pretty comfortable. * Despite being a demon and all, bendy still has a few fears: stage fright, crowds, and heights (also abandonment but we'll get to that later) * Elaborating on that, bendy is fine preforming in front of a camera or anyone in the studio, but put on a stage in front of a large group of people he doesn't do so well. Living with a limited amount of people in a small studio, he tends to panic in large social situations. Crowds bother him also because he's very small. Heights taller than a table are a problem, mainly because he tends to always somehow get someplace high by accident and can't get down. The only real exception is Boris carrying him. Boris is very tall but bendy allows it. * Bendy is kind of claustrophobic (this gets worse after the events of the game but shh these are pre game headcannons) * Boris and Joey are the only ones who can carry bendy without him getting scared. Bendy will allow the others to carry him but it makes him very very uncomfortable. * Henry or Sammy carrying bendy on their shoulder is okay, but only if bendy climbs up there himself.

* Bendy hides behind Joey, Henry, or Sammy's leg like a five year old when he's nervous 

* Bendy also "melts" when experiencing negative emotions. Sometimes it's just drips, other times it's more severe, depending on how intense the emotions are * He can melt and change shape on his own accord too though. Like if he wanted to get into a locked room he could melt into a puddle and go underneath the door * All the toons can shift but bendy is the only one who can do it to that extent. The only shifting the others can do is like toon logic, like getting literally flattened by a safe and then immediately going back to their regular form * Toon logic/ hammer-space is something all the toons can do. * However they don't really use it too often * It normally doesn't take much work to use toon logic but doing too much too often can wear them out * Since bendy didn't use it very often, at first no one knew about toon logic. This led to bendy getting hit by a car and everyone flipping out, only for bendy to get right back up and be confused why everyone was so alarmed * Toon logic works to a certain extent in the real world. The toons can still feel pain and get injured, but things like getting safes dropped on them that would kill a regular human won't kill them. It still might hurt like hell through. Toon logic also allows the toons to be very strong at times, no matter what their size is. * Then toons are made of ink. They can't break bones because there are no bones to break. * All the toons have some sort of ink monster form, but it's literally almost never used. Maybe once or twice in a situation of genuine danger * Pretty much everyone in the studio can sing really well. The exception is Joey, who can't sing for shit * However, Joey can play the guitar and the piano * People never really want their kids around bendy (with him being a demon and all) but bendy is actually really great with kids * Bendy is very needy when it comes to attention. He constantly has to be paid attention to * He's got a pretty big fear of being left behind or abandoned (something that intensifies after the events of the Henry incident but shh we don't talk about that) * Even though he doesn't really like getting picked up, he does like cuddles. He is very small and will just kind of....curl into you like a cat * He likes warmth * In my own mind, bendy will always be some form of ace. But if he did date, I'd say he was pan. * Like he doesn't date but if he did he wouldn't give a shit about what gender you are * Bendy really likes animals. He especially likes dogs, but wether or not this is because his best friend is a wolf remains a mystery * Bendy and Boris don't get along super well in the show, but outside the show they are inseparable * Bendy and Boris didn't take an instant liking to each other. Boris was very open to being friends but bendy was too suspicious. After a while though bendy grew more comfortable and the friendship grew * After the friendship grew, they became best friends to the point of being brothers; they are insanely close, even if they make fun of each other a lot * Bendy is the "says they know what they're doing and to trust them and then immediately makes a complete fool of themselves because they didn't know what they were doing" friend * Boris is the "I'm much more sensible than you and will warn you if you're about to do something stupid" friend but he's also the "You mean a lot to me and I'd die to keep you safe but if you just ignore my warnings and make a total fool out of yourself as long as you're not severely injured I'm gonna laugh my ass off" friend * A lot of the times bendy will do something stupid and after confirming he's okay Boris will laugh really hard for a while * Bendy gets really offended like "*sniff* how dare you laugh at me" * Boris continues to laugh but still tries to make bendy feel better like "That was hilariously stupid you're an idiot now let's go get ice cream and watch movies k" * Boris is normally a kind, soft boi™ (if not somewhat savage at times) but you dare hurt someone he cares about (ex. Bendy) He is a ferocious beast ready to destroy you * Bendy also gets a lot of nightmares and Boris is ON IT * at the slightest sound of any distress Boris will get up and sleep with the bab and comfort him * Alice was harder. Alice and Boris got along pretty well since the beginning but bendy seemed to despise her. * This went along for a while, which upset Alice because she'd never done anything to bendy * Turns out bendy was just scared, mainly of being replaced. Bendy and Alice talked a while and after that gradually started to become friends * To anyone from the outside, it would look like bendy and Alice hated each other. This is, in fact, far from the truth. They care about one another a lot- they're just extremely competitive. * Everything with bendy and Alice is a competition. EVERYTHING. * As you may guess, this rarely ends well. * There's only ever been a serious accident once or twice. Most of the time they're just small mishaps that everyone laughs about later. * they stick out their tongues at each other like 5 year olds and everyone else in the room rolls their eyes * Sometimes it even gets a little ridiculous- bendy has the tutu because he got it just to prove he could look better in a skirt than Alice * They asked joey henry and Sammy to judge who looked better- Sammy took bendy's side, henry took Alice's side, and joey walked out of the room mumbling "is this seriously my life now?" * They're always playing a constant game of everything you can do I can do better * They insult each other a lot, but it's more in a sibling manner than anything else. * Alice isn't too nicey nicey towards bendy most of the time but if bendy is hurt or scared or upset She definitely shows how much she cares about him and tries to help in any way she can, even if all she can do is provide a little comfort (this goes the other way around too- Alice will comfort bendy and vice versa) * Alice and Boris always had a good relationship from the beginning * They weren't exactly best friends or anything but they were definitely friends * Boris always respected Alice- he always made every attempt to think of Alice and include her in things (despite knowing all too well bendy didn't like her much) He never looked at/thought of her differently just because she was a girl- he fully saw that she was very strong and capable of taking care of herself (although she was not above using her feminine charm and looks to get her way) * When bendy and Alice finally started getting along his response was basically "well it's about time you two" * Whenever bendy and Alice get into fights he just kind've rolls his eyes and doesn't get involved unless it gets physical, and even then both Alice and bendy are basically the size of small children so really all he has to do is sigh and stand in between them, pushing the two away from each other while they take no notice and continue to scream at each other and throw useless air punches * When Alice was upset that bendy disliked her when she'd done nothing she confided a lot in Boris (seeing as Boris was the closest to bendy) * Boris always tried to comfort her, insisting that "its not that he hates you, he just has a hard time trusting new people. He'll come around eventually." Boris eventually turns out to be right and even after Alice and bendy start getting along she continues to confide in him * Boris is always happy to pause anything he's doing and listen * He's a helper and tries to help in any possible way he can * Out of Sammy, Joey, and Henry, Sammy is the youngest of the three adults. He tends to act much more emotional and child-like than an adult should. He's very extreme: if he's happy he's singing and laughing and dancing, if he's sad he's crying an ocean * He likes to help- he gave bendy his tutu and Boris his overalls * Most clothes the toons have were given to them by Sammy, either Sammy had them already or he took them out to a store * Sammy has a large abundance of sweaters and bendy fucking loves sweaters 

*everyone has a closet at the studio, for extra clothes, pajamas, etc. bendy often sneaks into them and steals sweaters

*The toons are the only ones who actually live at the studio, but at least one human stays at the studio per night with the toons. They usually rotate but sometimes there's voulenteers. * Sammy is also super clumsy * The toons usually look to him for fun- he's always willing to play with them and assist them with pranks and shenanigans * Despite how he acts he's smart and he knows what he's doing * He's also amazing at comfort and singing: if the toons need some cheering up they go to Sammy, and there's been more than one occasion bendy woke up from come crazy nightmare and Sammy sang him back to sleep * Everyone HATES seeing Sammy sad * Its almost unbearable * He's basically the toons dad/cool older brother * He's also a bit of a mom too * Carries around ponchos and snacks and band aids and stuff like that in case anyone needs them * He also carries around bubbles literally everywhere * Like weirdmageddon could be happening and you could count on Sammy to have bubbles * He's a wonderful person (although somewhat salty at times) and an amazing musician and singer but a terrible horrible cook * But he loves to cook * And no one has the heart to tell him he can't cook for shit * Sometimes Sammy gets involved in the toon's shenanigans * He's more neutral when it comes to what side he's on but he tends to take bendy's side a teensy bit more * Henry is the oldest of the three adults, though not necessarily the most responsible * He likes to have fun: he likes taking the toons out places and is the one that does it the most often * He's very protective of the toons- he considers them to be like grandchildren * He's also been in the army before and he sometimes will entertain the toons with old war stories: the toons enjoy them and sometimes will just come in while henry is drawing and sit down and ask to hear one- henry is happy to oblige and will tell the story as he works * He adds sound effects and gestures to make the stories more entertaining * He wears glasses but he really only needs them for reading * The toons love henry and are always super happy to see him * He's also a bit of a teacher- if the toons have any questions about the human world Henry's always glad to explain * Joey is younger than Henry by about a year and half but is still a lot more responsible (he's honestly the most responsible one there) * He likes to have fun as much as everyone else but he actually cares about if they're getting work done and reminds everyone of their work and deadlines (TBH the studio would probably be completely gone/bankrupt if it wasn't for him because if it wasn't for him no work would get done smh) * Everyone makes fun of him being serious but they all love him anyway * Joey does have  a tiny bit of a temper- he's very easily frustrated and can be a little scary * He sometimes forces the toons to be pushed a little beyond their limits but the moment he realizes he's fucked up he feels really really bad * Despite coming off as serious and strict he cares about the toons very much, they're like his children (he actually has gotten used to referring to them as his kids and the toons have taken up a habit of calling him papa drew) (the first time they called him that he nearly cried because god they're precious) * He's very proud of his ink kids he loves them very very much even if he doesn't show it 24/7 * He also has a bit of anxiety and he gets panic attacks sometimes * (The only others prone to anxiety are bendy and Henry- while Joey's panic attacks aren't too frequent (though definitely not unheard of) bendy has a lot. Henry on the other hand has very little and only get them if something triggers a war flashback) * Joey needs glasses because he is 100% blind without them * He's very prone to losing them however and has to blindly fumble around Velma style to find them * The toons have stolen them a few times just because its funny * Sammy plays many instruments. Henry and Alice don't play anything but they sing. Joey and bendy play the piano. In addition to the piano, bendy can also play the violin (but he doesn't very often). Boris plays the clarinet. Joey, in addition to playing the piano, also plays the acoustic guitar. * Wally doesn't play anything. He can dance, but he rarely ever does (in front of other people at least) * Sammy is a serious musician. That being said, one of his favorite pastimes is kicking down the door to joeys room and playing careless whisper on the kazoo. * Bendy is the shortest of everyone, he's about the size of a four or five year old. Alice is about a head taller than bendy. Bendy is just a TINY bit smaller than the size of joeys leg, if that gives you any indication to how tall Joey is. Henry is a bit taller than Joey but not by too much. Wally is about the same height as Henry. Sammy and Boris are about the same height, and are taller than everyone * The toons are completely fine in regular water. * However, holy water hurts them. They can't step foot inside a church without nearly dying. * The toons mainly survive off of ink. They can eat regular human food but too much will make them sick. They also can't have sugar. Everyone learned both of these things the hard way. 

* Everyone finds it hilarious how much the toons are fascinated with the most normal things like touch activated lamps and microwaves * Sunsets and stars were a big deal to the toons they were so amazed the first time they saw them * Most of the studio is fine with fireworks. They exceptions are bendy and Henry. * Bendy doesn't like fireworks (they're too loud and scary) and Henry doesn't like them because the loud boom noises remind him of the war. So on the Fourth of July bendy and Henry have just made a habit of staying together in the studio and having their own small celebration with food and old movies. They both enjoy it.

Supernatural feelings 12x12

I strongly, STRONGLY suggest that you don’t read this if you like Mary Winchester. Because if you wanna fight with me or call me a hater I am beyond not interested. 

Supernatural episode 12

11 got deleted from my DVR and it's not on On Demand. Damn them

"How about you handsome." AHAHAHAHAHAHA She don't want you Dean. Everyone want's Cas.

"We've been looking for teachable moments."

"The internet here sucks." Poor Sammy

"Why is the upside to smell like food?"

"Screens down. Eyes front. Shut up." "Sorry mom." UUUUUUUGGGGGHHHHH. No. Just. No to all of this.

*Castiel leans in and sniffs* YOU CANNOT SNIFF YOUR WAITRESS OMG CAS!!! I Know you're testing the smells like food thing but baby please.

"My devastatingly handsome friend was just wondering when do you get off." "Whenever I can." "Ayoh!"

"Everything is gonna be fine" *My baby dripping blood AGAIN. First words out of his mouth* "Where are Sam and Dean?"

"The demon who killed Sam Winchester. They're gonna tell stories about me." "Oh no they won't." Yeah, no way Dean was letting you kill his baby brother.

Poor Wally

Slow mo walk down the street? Why does Cas look like the only natural one walking like that?

"Urination I understand."

That demon literally elbowed Dean in the face to get to Cas

Can we stop torturing Cas please and let him get back to being a Bad Ass fighter and not just the one who constantly has to be saved like he's a damsel?

And Sam and Dean show up and Dean runs RIGHT FOR CAS and leaves Sam to ask Mary the questions

Why are we tarentinoing this episode?

Yeah, Mary is literally working with the men who tortured her sons. Nice.

So....Mary is using the Men of letters for their gear. Using her sons for backup all the while keeping everything she's doing a secret? Keeping left and right hands separate? Sigh.

"I think the Demon's spear was poisoned. I think I'm dying." THE LOOK ON DEANS FACE "No. No. You just need some time okay?"

"Sam. Sammy!"

Crowley! Welcome back

"What's up with feathers?"

Lance of Michael. That's probably so powerful

"I was quite fond of the choir boy too." "Shut up. Shut up." Oh man. Dean will break your neck if you insinuate that Cas will die.

"Help us or get the hell out of here!"

"3 Humans with one good liver between them?" .....Who has the good liver? Mary? Or Sam? We know it's not Dean. But then Sam doesn't drink really THAT much. But Mary hasn't been alive for that long, but she could have destroyed it quickly....I'm thinking Sam has the good liver. Which means, Damn Mary, get that shit under control. it took Dean YEARS to damage himself that far. It took you, what? Months?

"Cas come on." "No. You listen to me.Look thank you, thank you. Knowing you. I, it's been the best part of my life. And the things we've shared together. They've changed me. You're my family. I love you. I love all of you." IT PANNED TO DEAN BOTH FUCKING TIMES!! WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU DO THAT UNLESS IT WAS A DECLARATION!!!!!

"Cas No." "You need to keep fighting." "We are fighting. We're fighting for you." SAM MY BABY MOOSE YES

"And like you said, you're family. And we don't leave family behind."

OMG. No. Pause. Hang on. Cas and Dean are staring at each other throughout this whole thing. This WHOLE THING. And after Dean says that Cas looks like he's about to cry. He finally knows how much he means to him and it's to late. To late for him to do anything about it. To late to savor it. LIKE FUCKING RIP MY HEART RIGHT OUT. I AM CRYING SO HARD

And Sam. Fuck. Sam is NOT going to do anything less than kill anyone who would even touch Cas. Cas is his best friend. His BROTHER. And he will go down fighting for him just like he would for Dean.

MY HEART. MY FUCKING FEELINGS. So many. I have. SO MANY.

"You steal from me." MARY WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU TAKE?

And instead of admitting she took something she's just gonna let the time run down and not say a fucking word. She's going to endanger her sons after this fucking plan IS KILLING CAS and she's not even going to take the blame. She's just going to stay quite. And say nothing. DO nothing as this POWERFUL PRINCE OF HELL threatens to kill her children. Like, you don't value Cas' life. Fine. But your own children? You endangered THEIR LIVES for what? It better be a fucking way to murder Lucifer or take away all evil from the world or something if it is important enough to risk their fucking lives.

(Now I'm not saying she wanted Cas to get hurt or that she planned for it to be this dangerous. But the point is she is doing NOTHING while he tries to be reasonable. He may have let them go if SHE HADN'T STOLEN FROM HIM. Or even if she had spoken up and gave it back. He may have let them go because he doesn't care about anything except being left alone. he wasn't bothering anyone. he wasn't being evil or Malicious. He was fishing. Did he have a collection of powerful weapons? yes. But he wasn't using them. Or leasing them out for communal use either. He was MINDING HIS OWN BUSINESS. And you go in and fuck his shit up for the hell of it. Okay and you'll kill him somehow because, this is Supernatural. But you know what's gonna happen. His Sister, yeah she's still out there and she's going to want revenge. So I really fucking hope that this thing is worth Wally's life. YOUR FRIEND that you dragged into this. He was an innocent Mary. But fuck how scared he was. You used him. Just like you use Sam and Dean whenever it's convenient to you. )

Killed with his own Lance. Yup

Snap it in half. SNAP IT IN HALF. Don't just walk over it.

"Cas hang in their buddy."

"What do we do?"

THANK YOU CROWELY

"Cas." DEANS FACE

You got lucky Mary. You got SO fucking lucky. Because when Dean and Sam find out WHY they went on that little mission. And find out that you DID steal. And ALL of this was YOUR plan. And it almost got Cas killed? Oh boy. OH BOY. They're gonna be pissed. If he had gotten killed because of it? Oh you can say goodbye to them. They would not have forgiven that. Being as how he ALMOST died, you can probably be forgiven (By them. Never me) but even so. When they find out. You had better be ready to explain your fucking self and it better be good.

Dean and Sam Hands out IMMEDIATELY to help Cas up.

And as ALWAYS he looks to Dean first and then to Sam

And Dean pats his back as a little extra comfort

"What did he mean about somebody stealing from him?" "Who knows what that crazy man was talking about. Le'ts go home."

AND SHE STILL SAYS NOTHING ARE YOU KIDDING ME??

Listen I don't want to seem like I'm to harsh on her because all the Winchesters keep secrets and endanger each other on the regular, but it's always for selfless reasons. Saving each other secretly, sacrificing themselves secretly. What is Mary doing? I don't know but it feels like selfish to me. I could never endanger my kids. No fucking way. And you don't do it so easily. She leaves so easy. She uses them SO EASY. Like she still doesn't see them as her kids, but instead are just fellow hunters that she can use when she needs them for something. Bull. Shit.

"I lost a friend. I almost lost one of my boys." Oh. So Cas is one of yours now? You of all people after the way you've acted do NOT get to act all self righteous now. You knew the men of letters TORTURED SAM. And yet you still work with them. YOU KNEW what kind of people you were getting into bed with. You don't get to bitch about how unclean the sheets are now.

Closing thoughts

I may be hating on Mary to harshly, I own up to that. But these are my feelings and I'm allowed to have them. We have so very little woman on this show and this is what we're given? Have Jody become the regular or Donna or fucking hell even Rowena. At least she admits she's a think for herselfer, instead of pretending to be a good person and then just doing as she pleases. Jody is more of a mother to them than Mary. ELLEN was more of a mother. The two of them always having open arms for their return. Always there to listen. To help. To comfort and soothe. What does Mary do? leaves. Just. Leaves. And then only calls when she wants something. She doesn't call just to say hi. Or check up on them. No. She just calls to use them. And I'm sorry but that really rubs me the wrong way. And it pisses me off. John and Mary are literally the WORST parents. Like seriously. John in the end was at least trying to make up for it, too late, but okay let him try. Mary though, she's been given a second chance to be with her kids and what happens? She pushes them away at every turn. Do I think she wants to hurt them. No. Would she endanger their lives seriously. Again no. She does love them, in her own selfish way, but I feel like other things outweigh any motherly affection she might have for them. And if she stuck around for more than two goddamned seconds at a time she may realize how important they are and she'd be different.

Castiel almost died. And I blame Mary 100%. Like. Yes, Cas has been hurt for Winchesters before. Hurt for Dean. Hurt for Sam. But those were all HIS choices. He chose to sacrifice himself for them. For his family. For the mission. But this? He went in under a lie. She LIED to them. Endangered all their lives for a Lie. Let her friend be killed for a LIE. And it could have killed him. They were lucky. So fucking lucky that they were able to get the upper hand on A Prince of Hell. And they're lucky for Crowley's quick thinking. HE saved Castiel. He fixed HER mistake. And all she can do is yell at the Men of Letters? She didn't even APOLOGIZE. She didn't even try and comfort Cas as he was dying. She said and did NOTHING. Sam and Dean are saying encouraging things, telling him how loved his is and she said nothing. He is "Her boy" and yet you didn't even tell him, "Good fight." Or "Thanks for always keeping my boys safe." She said fucking nothing. And now, she says nothing. She hands over the Colt, one of the most powerful weapons of all time to The Men of Letters. The people who, once again, TORTURED HER KIDS.

That dying deceleration though. Cas loves Sam. That much is 100% certain. But you cannot deny that the way he was saying goodbye to Sam was different than it was with Dean. He didn't break eye contact with Dean except for a few seconds when he looked to Sam. But 9/10 he was looking at Dean. And after Dean said they were family, Cas kept looking in his eyes and started tearing up. That, broke my soul. Like, my heart cannot take it anymore. And even if you say, "Oh it's just because they're really best friends" That's fine, but the fact that Cas felt loved, cared for, needed, special and wanted, and that was only completely obvious to him before he was about to die really tore my heart out. He knows that he is family, just as he is about to leave it for good. He's always thought of Dean and Sam as his family, but to have them say it back, and mean it. He really needed to hear that. He needed it confirmed. And now he knows. He's a Winchester for life. Team Free Will. Together they can do anything.

This episode did a lot of things to me. Some of them good, some of them infuriating, but in the end I guess that's what makes a good episode. One that can make you have such visceral feelings.

BATIM D&D Party

I wanted to write out backstories for the BATIM characters in a D&D world, so here we go. These are very much my versions of the characters, as well as some of my oc’s. 

I also kind of made a story out of it.

I used this to help me decide everyone’s classes upon first thinking about this, but this is also very helpful.

Thank you to @randomwriteronline and @chaostheparrot for their input and help in ironing out what classes would fit each character. 

I especially loved Random’s comment that the Music Department would be, and I quote, “just increasingly off the shit bards”. 

-------------------------------------------------------

Timeline:

Joey and Henry meet up and decide to adventure together. 

Original party is formed: Joey, Henry, Norman, Wally, and the bard band

Henry and Joey get into a fight and Henry leaves the party

Shawn and Grant are inducted into the party

Joey’s party passes through Cordelia’s town and she joins as they are in need of a healer

Asmodeus reaches out to Joey and becomes Joey’s patron

Tom and Allison are brought on. Joey explains that they need another healer and Tom has some experience with magical artifacts. He refuses to explain what sort of magical artifacts he wants Tom for

Joey approaches Bertram to make an artifact for him which leads to Bertram and Lacie traveling with the party in order to gather the materials for the artifact

Joey leads the party to defeat a necromancer holed up in a castle, and takes up residence there once the necromancer is defeated. 

Joey starts conducting immoral experiments, occasionally kidnapping residents from the nearby town

Joey turns his attentions to his party members, beginning to experiment on them

Henry gets a letter, inviting him to the castle. Joey has something to show him...

Now on to the backstories. 

Sammy, Susie, and Jack are all bards who have been friends since childhood. Johnny is Sammy’s younger brother and also a bard. They each have their own reasons for wanting to go out adventuring. Sammy because he wanted to spread his music, Susie because she wanted to see the world and sing for people, Johnny because he was not about to let Sammy see the world without him, and Jack basically because he wanted to be around his friends. They’ve formed a band of sorts. Sammy plays banjo (although he can play nearly any instrument), Jack’s on violin, Johnny basically plays a keyboard, and Susie sings. They’ve been run out of a few towns due to Susie and Sammy’s strong personalities. Sammy gets into fights with people about music and Susie squares up when her friends are threatened. Although there was one time someone broke Jack’s violin and he did a number on them. 

Sammy and Susie will flirt with anyone and everyone. They are disaster bisexuals. Favorite targets are Norman, Tom, and Allison. Sometimes Wally, although that’s mostly Sammy. Meanwhile, Jack has kind of a thing for Grant. And sometimes Sammy. He’s a quiet and distinguished gay. Johnny falls in love very easily and it’s hard to get him to move on from them. He had a crush on Susie when they were all little and Sammy continues to tease him about it. Susie thought it was cute.

Joey: Warlock. His patron is Asmodeus, the Lord of Hells. Growing up, Joey dreamed of adventuring. His parents strongly discouraged this, knowing the dangers that came along with adventuring. They didn’t want him to get hurt. Joey, however, took this to mean that they thought he was too weak to make it in the world. It didn’t help that a lot of the other children liked to pick on him due to his small stature and sickly nature. He threw himself into studying magic, being too weak to class as anything particularly physical. His success was rather...mixed. He was alright at magic, but nowhere near as powerful as he’d hoped. 

He ran away from home at around 18 in order to adventure and find a way to boost his magical power. He ended up in Henry’s town and the two became friends. Joey suggested they go adventuring together and Henry agreed. The two set off on their adventure when they were in their 20′s, forming a party with Norman, Wally, and the bard band. Joey's search for power was temporarily forgotten as he reveled in the joy of adventuring with his friends. However, tensions began to run a bit high between him and Henry, who thought Joey was being greedy and pushing the party members farther than they were capable of going. The two of them fought and Henry left the party.

Joey was convinced he could make it without Henry, bolstering the ranks of the party and continuing to press on as though nothing was wrong. However, this was the beginning of his spiral downwards. He began to throw himself even more into trying to bolster his magic. He started dragging his party into even more dangerous situations in order to find a way to make himself more powerful. 

It was at this point that Asmodeus reached out to him. He appeared as a handsome red-skinned young man and promising he could give Joey everything he desired. Joey took his offer, becoming a rather powerful warlock. 

For a bit, things were alright. Joey was happy with his newfound power. He had to perform sacrifices to Asmodeus, which was a little inconvenient given his party’s moral compass, but the party was already killing evildoers. Asmodeus seemed perfectly satisfied with these sorts of sacrifices, though.

But soon...Joey began to wonder. Why did they have to rely on gods for magical power? Why couldn’t they just have it themselves? He’d seen many a warlock fall due to losing the favor of their patron. It was incredibly dangerous to rely on these gods for power when their favor could so easily be lost. If he could find a way to allow humans to have godly powers without the contract, then he could prevent others from falling. And so, unbeknownst to his party, he began to look into magical artifacts and rituals. 

Norman: Ranger. No one knows what his background is and he refuses to give a straight answer as to what it is. His story changes every time he’s asked. In reality, he was part of a rebellion against the tyrannical ruler of his town. The rebellion failed, unfortunately, and in retaliation, the ruler killed those who had taken part in it. Norman managed to escape, but his family and many of his friends died. He doesn’t like to talk about it. Sammy, Susie, Wally, and Tom are some of the only people he’s told the truth to. Prior to joining up with this party, he tried not to stay in any place for too long for fear of being recognized and turned over to the ruler. Initially, he wanted revenge against the man who killed the people he loved. He plotted out exactly how he would do it, fantasized about sticking the bastard’s head on a pike. But he’s been running for a long time. And that fire has long since been extinguished. Now he just wants to be free from that looming shadow. 

Henry: Monk. He never really planned on being an adventurer. He grew up in a small village that was pretty far away from any kind of danger. His parents ran a bookstore. He didn’t have any siblings. He had a pretty boring life. He met Joey after Joey ran away from home and ended up in Henry’s town. When Joey suggested they start adventuring together, he was excited. He’d never left his town before. So he left with Joey and the two of them began adventuring together with their party. Things were good for a while until Henry and Joey began to butt heads about Joey’s leadership of the group. Henry ended up leaving over this argument. Angry and upset, Henry went away to train at a monastery. It was during this training that he met Linda, who was passing through on her own errands. The two of them adventured for a bit after Henry completed his training before settling down together. 

Linda: Cleric. A follower of the Lliira. She came from a long line of healers, and while she wasn’t expected to follow in their footsteps, it was highly encouraged. Luckily, she was interested in helping people. She chose Lliira as her patron as she had little interest in fighting or continuing the cycle of violence in their world. Once she’d reached the appropriate age, and had trained sufficiently with her family, she set off on a journey to bring healing and joy to all she could. She met Henry when she stopped off at the monastery he was training at during her travels. She thought he was rather adorable, especially since he tended to accidentally hit himself in the face with his staff whenever she watching him practice. She was more than happy to journey with and later marry him. 

Henry works as a historian/librarian in their town while Linda is the local healer. A not-insignificant portion of the town has crushes on both of them. They’re both very kind and compassionate and surprisingly buff. Linda may be a pacifist, but she chops their firewood herself. 

Tom: Fighter who dual classes as an artificer. He’s made a bit of a name for himself as an artificer, but more often he’s just called upon to fix things. He grew up in an orphanage as his parents were killed in a monster attack. He made himself indispensable to the orphanage staff by being the best at fixing things. He taught himself to fix just about everything. Chairs, plumbing, wagons, weapons. You name it, he figured out how to fix it. Once he got older, the orphanage directors apprenticed him to a blacksmith. Tom tried to find fulfillment in it but couldn’t. He ended up training himself as a fighter, while beginning to hone his craft as an artificer, and set off wandering. He found Allison when she’d gotten herself into a fight she wasn’t prepared for and helped her get out. He thought she was a nice woman and decided to travel with her. She gave people hope and he wanted to be a part of that. 

Allison: Paladin. A follower of the goddess Istus. Her family are nobles and frankly bastards. She ran away from home at a young age to join a convent. However, during her journey to the convent, she saw the injustices of the world. So, instead of going to the convent, she went to join a paladin order. The paladins were initially a little unsure about whether to take her on, especially since she was the daughter of a noble and they didn’t want to have her father storming their building demanding her back, but she proved she was serious about the situation. After she completed her training, she set out to help those in need. She met Tom after stumbling into a fight she wasn’t prepared for. The two started traveling together after that. She believes that there is always hope, no matter how many times she is knocked down. There are many who take comfort in her unshakable faith.

Shawn: Rogue. He grew up in the slums of a major city, learning how to pickpocket and swindle in order to provide for his family. His mother constantly told him that there were other ways for them to get by, but no matter how many jobs she or his siblings picked up, they never had enough. Shawn saw stealing from the rich as the only viable option. It wasn’t like taking from the ultra-rich of the city would hurt them, he thought. And it didn’t. They just threw huge fits before eventually moving on. He earned a bit of a reputation among the city guards as a troublemaker. Shawn started having a bit of fun messing with them, which led to guards to target his family. He ended up leaving the city in hopes that it would improve his family’s lives if he wasn’t there. He began to travel, becoming a Robin Hood-esque figure. The poor lauded him as a hero while the rich saw him only as a villain. Joey found him in a holding cell after getting caught stealing from a corrupt baron. He continues to send money to his family even now, hoping that he can still try and make up for the mistakes he’s made.

Bertram: Artificer. Born to a well to do family, Bertram was never particularly interested in adventuring. He was, however, very interested in inventing and figuring out how to imbue magic into the things he created. He ended up becoming a rather successful and sought after artificer due to his uncanny knack for figuring out how things worked and how they could be improved. He began traveling in order to expand his business, which is why he hired Lacie. He needed a bodyguard and she wanted to travel. He ended up encountering Joey when Joey approached him to design an artifact for him. Bertram didn’t particularly trust him, but business was business so he agreed to do what he could for Joey.

Lacie: Monk. Kind of like an older, more tired version of Beau from Critical Role. Her family were wealthy and wanted a son, but they got Lacie instead. They tried to force her to be the ‘perfect’ daughter which led to her rebelling quite a lot. She ended up running away to join a monastery. The monks helped her to deal with the anger and frustration she felt, teaching how to channel it into more productive avenues. She stayed at the monastery for many years, gaining a reputation as a competent fighter and a general pillar of common sense, until she was approached by Bertram to be his bodyguard. She’s been traveling with him ever since. She tries not to pick fights, but she will absolutely finish any ones started by other people. 

Grant: Wizard. From a young age, Grant had an insatiable desire for knowledge. It was this desire that led him to begin to study magic. His family didn’t have much but wanted to send him off to a magic academy so that he would be able to study magic. Thankfully, a magic academy did take notice of his aptitude and sent him a letter. Although Grant excelled at his magical studies, he proved too anxious to function as a power player. He had no interest in playing mind games or working in a court. He was better suited to academia, and so became a professor and scholar after graduation. Grant was more than happy teaching others magic and often regrets leaving his position at the school to travel with Joey, especially since Joey doesn’t exactly treat him well. Joey wanted Grant for his vast knowledge and tactical mind, often treating him as nothing more than a walking encyclopedia. 

Wally: Druid. A follower of the goddess Eldath. He grew up in kind of a hippie commune. He has a really big family and the kids were basically allowed to run free in the forest and do whatever they wanted. He was happy in the commune, but he always kind of wanted to see the world. Plus, he felt a bit bad that he wasn’t as good of a druid as the rest of his family. He just didn’t take it as seriously as others did. He left the commune when he was about 16 and started just roaming around. He ran into Joey and Henry and joined their party because they thought he was absolutely adorable and just a little ray of sunshine. He’s not much of a combatant, because Eldath abhorres violence and won’t fight even to defend herself. The few times he’s tried to fight he’s lost his powers from her. It was easy enough for Joey to take him down in the end. Wally would never hurt a friend. 

Cordelia: Cleric. Follower of the goddess Hel. Despite Hel’s less than savory reputation, Cordelia follows her because it gives her comfort to think there is someone looking out for her parents, both of whom died from sickness. Had a rather sheltered upbringing in a small village where nothing much happened. Roy left for adventure when she was about 15. He returned when she was 17, carried back catatonic by a few paladins. She volunteered to take care of him since both of their parents needed to work. This is how she started learning how to be a cleric in the first place. She was 18 when Joey’s party rolled into town, making her want to go adventuring like her brother had. She specifically latched onto the bard band, wanting to be just like them. Maybe even travel with them. Her parents were averse to the idea, especially after what had happened to Roy, but they didn’t want to quash her dreams. They died later that year from a sickness she could neither treat nor cure. She was devastated, shutting herself in her room for days on end. But, upon Roy’s suggestion, the next time Joey’s party came around she left with them.

Roy: Former bard. Formerly a rather successful bard before an adventuring mishap put him out of commission. He got bored in their little village and set off for a life of adventure. Although he couldn’t play music too well, nor sing, he had a charismatic presence that drew people to him. He was part of a rather large adventuring group filled with similarly eager young adventurers. They were all predictably naive and foolhardy, rushing headlong into danger and getting into their fair share of scrapes and danger. One day, they ended up going on a quest that they couldn’t handle. Roy was the only one who survived. He was found, catatonic, by some wandering paladins who managed to get him home. He didn’t say anything for years until his and Cordelia’s parents died and he forced himself to step up and be there for Cordelia. He was the one to suggest she become an adventurer. Despite his own misgivings toward that career, he thought it would do her good to get away from their town and the memory fo their parents.

Esther: Paladin. Follower of the god Tyr. Although she’s not an adventurer, she still takes her job very seriously. She wants to protect those who cannot protect themselves. She became a paladin after Joey ran away. Specifically, she went on a journey to try and find her brother again. Along the way, she witnessed the injustice and cruelty of the world. It horrified her to see the way people treated each other and the abuses that people got away with. When she returned, not having found her brother, she went through paladin training and became the protector of her town. She later met the man who would become her husband, Robert, when he was passing through the town as a traveling bookseller. The two struck up a friendship, which later turned into a relationship.

Two Doofs In Love

@randomwriteronline answered an ask of mine and now I have to write it. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Joey Drew had been in love with his brother-in-law for a long time now. He’d kept it on the down-low, though, partially because Sonja was such a raging bitch. He’d been terrified of what would happen if she found out about his crush on her ex-husband. Even when she was gone, though, he refused to act on his feelings. 

There was no way Malcolm would actually accept his feelings, he thought. Malcolm was a good man. A genuinely good and kind and wonderful man who made the world a brighter place simply by existing. He had his shit together. He was a functioning human being. There was no way he’d be interested in Joey romantically.

Joey knew he wasn’t exactly a prize. He was fake and awful. He wasn’t a good person. Not like Malcolm was. They could be friends, yes, and ex-brother-in-laws, but not romantic partners. So, he resigned himself to just pine after Malcolm from afar. 

But Malcolm did love him. He did return his feelings. And Henry was forced to watch these two idiots dance around each other. Pretty much everyone could see Malcolm and Joey were head over heels for each other, but Henry was about the only one with a direct connection to both of them who had to listen to them gush about each other. 

Even now, he was listening to Joey dither about whether or not to propose to Malcolm. 

“I just don’t know,” Joey said, drumming his fingers on the table. “What if he says no?”

“He’s not going to say no,” Henry said. 

“Out of everyone, he couldn't possibly choose me.”

“Joey, he’s not going to say no.”

“I mean, he’s smart and handsome and has his shit together. He couldn’t possibly be interested in someone as fake and terrible as me.”

“He won’t say no.” Henry was face down on the table. Joey wasn’t even listening to him. He probably could have said Malcolm wanted to throw him against the table and do him right there and Joey wouldn’t even acknowledge he’d heard him.

“Hey, Joey?” The door to the kitchen opened and Malcolm stuck his head in. “Can I talk to you?” 

“Oh, sure.” Joey gave him a nervous smile. 

Henry lifted his head to see the expression on Malcolm’s face. He was praying that at least Malcolm had finally managed to get up the courage to act on his feelings. To his absolute delight, he could see determination and a bit of nervousness painted on the other man’s features. He knew what was about to go down. 

“I’ll give you guys some privacy.” He quickly got up and left the room, giving Malcolm a wink as he did so. Malcolm remained calm as Henry did this, keeping his gaze on Joey. 

“So, uh, what did you want to talk about?” Joey asked, leaning awkwardly on the table. 

“Joey.” Malcolm crossed the kitchen, getting down on one knee in front of him. “I want you to marry me.”

Joey froze, staring at him. For a moment or two, he just watched Malcolm, eyes wide. Then he began to cry. Not sad tears, but tears of joy. He had an adorable lopsided smile. Well, Malcolm thought it was adorable. 

“Ah...Ahah...” He laughed weakly. “You...You got me good. Henry told you, didn’t he? Ahaha...This is...Very funny....” He was dangerously close to starting to cry out of sadness. Because this couldn’t possibly be real. It had to be a joke. Malcolm wouldn’t actually love him. 

Malcolm smiled softly, taking Joey’s hands in his. He didn’t say anything, just holding Joey’s hands and smiling at him. Slowly...Slowly it dawned on Joey that this wasn’t a joke. This wasn’t a joke and Malcolm absolutely meant every word. 

“Really?” He whispered. 

“Really,” Malcolm said. 

He’d made sure to ask Charlie’s permission before doing this, just to make sure it was alright. It was, after all, a little weird to suddenly have your uncle become your dad. Charlie had, thankfully, been delighted by this idea.

“Yes!” Joey wrapped his arms around Malcolm’s neck. Malcolm grinned, hugging Joey back. 

From the living room, Henry smiled to himself. It was about time. 

.

Joey went out and told everyone he could the very next day. After he’d asked Henry to be his best man, of course. He wanted his best friend to be at his side for this, something Henry was more than happy to do. 

Kim and Niamh were first, mostly because Malcolm had mentioned Niamh might be able to officiate and Joey wanted to ask if she could. 

Kim, sufficiently surprised by this announcement, blurted out, “Condolences.” He then slapped a hand over his mouth, his face going as red as it could from embarrassment. 

“Did you mean congratulations?” Malcolm asked, trying to stifle a snicker. Joey just stared at them blankly, his head tilted adorably to the side. Malcolm wrapped an arm around his waist, briefly distracted by how cute Joey was. 

“No no, he meant what he said,” Niamh said, nodding solemnly as she put a hand on Malcolm’s shoulder.

“Niamh, no.”

“Condolences, Malcolm.”

“Niamh, stop that.” Kim groaned. 

“Um...Anyway, I was hoping you could officiate the wedding, Niamh,” Joey said, managing to shake himself from his confusion. “Malcolm said you could do that?” 

“Yeah, I can do that,” Niamh nodded, already beginning to grin. She’d heard from Thaische how much Charlie adored his duncle. Giving that boy a Whole New Loving Dad would be more than worth it. Plus, it would probably make Joey less sad and mopey.

“Is Charlie alright with it?” Kim asked. “It must be kind of a weird situation.”

“I made sure to ask him first,” Malcolm assured him. “He’s very excited.” Joey smiled to himself, feeling warm inside at the knowledge that Charlie was excited to have him as his new dad. 

“Hell yeah!” Niamh pumped her fist in the air. “I’ll do it!”

“Thank you,” Malcolm chuckled. “I appreciate your excitement.”

“Well, congratulations,” Kim said with a gentle smile. “For real this time. We’re really happy for you two.” Especially Joey, he thought as he glanced at his boss. Everyone at the studio worried about Joey. 

“Thank you.” Joey murmured, leaning on Malcolm. His cheeks were turning a bit pink. He still couldn’t believe this was happening. 

“We’ll talk to you later about the details,” Malcolm said. “But right now we need to tell everyone else.”

“Alright. Best of luck!” Kim waved as they exited. Niamh was already planning her speech. 

When the Music Department heard the news, they all clambered to volunteer their musical services for the wedding. Both Malcolm and Joey told them they really didn’t have to but the musicians had all made up their mind that they were going to do this. However, they needed direction, which meant they turned to Sammy. Who did not want to do it. 

“Aw, c’mon, Sammy. Please?” They begged. 

“I have work I need to do,” Sammy said, gesturing to the stacks of paper on his desk. “Actual work. That doesn’t involve weddings.” 

The musicians of his department visibly deflated, all incredibly disappointed by his refusal. Yeah, they probably could do this without him, but they wanted him involved. They were all about to disperse, but Wally put a hand up. 

“Don’t worry guys, I got this,” he said. He walked up to Sammy, turning on the cuteness and giving him the biggest most adorable puppy eyes he was capable of. Sammy tried to resist. He really did. But Wally’s puppy eyes were just too strong. He was too cute. 

Sammy let out a long-suffering sigh, hanging his head. “Alright. Fine.”

The department cheered and Wally threw himself onto Sammy in a big hug. Sammy blushed, muttering something about how this was going to be a big pain. He seemed perfectly happy to be hugged by Wally, though.

.

The months leading up to the wedding were rather hectic. There was a lot of planning to be done, which Henry was more than happy to help with. As the best man, it was his job to help in any way he could. He wanted to make this day the best he could for Malcolm and Joey. They deserved to be happy. 

Sammy made a big deal about not wanting to do this whole music thing, but he’d dedicated himself to it so he was going to do the best damn job he could. Sammy Lawrence did not do anything halfway. Some of the Music Department regretted asking his help because of his perfectionism. Still, they knew he was going to do a good job.

When the day came, everyone was rather excited. Charlie especially was practically bouncing out of his chair. Seeing his delight made everyone involved even more dedicated to make this wedding the best they possibly could. No one was allowed to make that child cry. 

Everyone was running around, trying to get everything set up. The Music Department had brought their own instruments, rentals in some cases because they didn’t want to damage their personal ones, which were a nightmare to transport in some cases. Especially when it came to the larger instruments like the cellos and tubas. 

Malcolm and Joey were getting ready in the back, both helped by Henry. Malcolm, being the goth he was, had gone for an all-black tux. He looked very stylish, especially to Joey. Joey looked like he came out of one of the Bendy cartoons, at least in his color scheme. Well, he always looked like that, but he looked particularly nice in his fancy tux.

“Isn’t it bad luck for the groom to see the bride before the ceremony?” Henry asked as he fussed with Joey’s bowtie.

“I don’t really think that applies when we’re both the groom,” Malcolm said. “Besides, I’d hate to deprive Joey of a sneak peek of his future husband.” He winked at Joey, who started to giggle. 

“Well, I’m certainly not complaining.” Joey winked right back. “Any chance to see you in a suit.”

“You two are such dorks.” Henry rolled his eyes.

Outside, most of the guests had been seated and Niamh was testing the microphone, clothed in a long aggressively magenta dress. 

“Can I get a wahoo!” She yelled. There was a loud wahoo from somewhere in the treeline, presumably from Eska. 

Eska had been strangely absent from the area. That wahoo had been the only sign he was around. No one had so much as seen his face since arriving. Joey was rather glad of this, due to how terrifying he found the factotum, but it was still strange. Eska was usually never far from Thaische’s side. 

Speaking of Thaische, he was sitting beside Charlie in the front row. Both children were dressed in their best. Charlie was wearing a nifty little suit, while Thaische wore a dress. The dress didn’t necessarily fit with the theme, but no one minded. He was wearing his poncho too anyway.

“This all looks real nice,” Wally said, leaning back in his chair. He’d chosen to sit beside the band in order to be close to Sammy. 

“Yes, I suppose it is,” Sammy conceded, allowing himself a small smile. 

“Give you any ideas?” Wally wiggled his eyebrows at his boyfriend. 

Sammy gave him a deadpan stare. “Do you want me to ask you to marry me?”

“I mean, I dunno. Maybe?” Wally shrugged slightly, fiddling with his tie. “Do you wanna get married?”

“We can talk about it after this.” Sammy turned back to his sheet music. He knew that if he was ever going to propose, it would 100% be after Wally did something monumentally stupid. He was fully prepared to see Wally do something dumb at the reception and just propose to him right there.

Eventually, the grooms and Henry appeared, and they got everything started. Norman had set up shop in the back, having volunteered to tape the whole thing for the happy couple. 

“If anyone here has any objections,” Niamh began, before putting her mouth right on the microphone. “SIT THE FUCK DOWN!” Everyone winced at the shrieking feedback and the boom of her voice from the speakers. Niamh was a very loud person naturally, and when her voice was amplified by a microphone it was near deafening. 

“THAT BOY IS GETTING A WHOLE NEW LOVING DAD,” she pointed to the vibrating Charlie in the front row. “AND I WILL FUCKING MURDER ANYONE WHO TRIES TO TAKE THAT AWAY FROM HIM!”

No one objected. No one wanted to object, but also no one wanted to have their back broken by Niamh. Because she would do that. They all knew she would do that. 

“Alright, good!” Niamh nodded. “Let’s do this!”

The wedding went off without a hitch. Malcolm and Joey exchanged some very heartfelt vows and Niamh pronounced them husband and husband. They didn’t need much prompting to kiss. The collected guests erupted into applause. Charlie was bouncing up and down in his wheelchair and Thaische was doing happy flaps with his arms because Charlie was so excited. 

Once the couple had stopped kissing, and it did take a while, everyone moved to the reception area for food.

That was when Eska appeared.

He showed up when Malcolm and Joey were getting congratulated by the guests, appearing out of the crowd in his usual overalls and shirt. Joey immediately tensed. This wasn’t going to end well. He just knew it. But Eska didn’t yell or do any of the things he usually did. Instead, he picked Joey and Malcolm up in a big bear hug. 

“Oh, thank you, Eska,” Malcolm said once Eska had put them down. 

“Ah, um, yes. Thank you, Eska.” Joey echoed.

“Congrats,” Eska mumbled before vanishing once more. 

Joey stood there for a moment or two, stunned by the fact that Eska had actually done something nice to him. 

“Hey.” Malcolm nudged him gently with his shoulder. “Are you okay?” Joey glanced over at him, suddenly aware of the fact that their hands were entwined. He could feel the gold band now resting on his finger. 

“I’m fine,” he said, smiling his adorably gap-toothed smile. Malcolm smiled back.

“I love you.” He leaned in and kissed Joey’s cheek. 

“I love you too,” Joey whispered. 

“Dads!!” Charlie rolled up, tugging at their hands. “Come dance with me!” His smile made Joey feel warm inside all over again. And being called ‘Dad’. 

“Alright, alright.” Malcolm laughed.  

Together, they made their way out onto the dance floor, completely oblivious to everything going on around them. They were a family, well and truly now.

Cordelia Bell Bio

I finally banged out a basic character bio for Cordelia.

Age: 19 when she’s first hired at the studio.

Birthday: July 25th

Family: Roy Bell (brother), George Bell (father), Marguerite Bell (mother)

Likes: Music, reading, being around people she likes, sweets, Sammy

Dislikes: Rude people, not being able to make others happy, cold weather, stress

Personality: She’s a very bubbly and upbeat person most of the time. She tries to be kind to everyone but does kind of hold grudges. As she gets older, she becomes more cynical and sarcastic, but during her time at Joey’s studio she was as cute and sweet as could be.

Friends: Sammy Lawrence, Susie Campbell, Norman Polk, Wally Franks

Occupation: Intern at Joey Drew Studios

Troubles:  She’s prone to panic attacks due to an intense need to please everyone, as well as crippling anxiety.

Backstory: She started writing Sammy when she was 9 or 10, after falling in love with the music of the Bendy cartoons and vowing she would find out who created them and be just like them. She has an older brother named Roy who was an actor. An accident involving a stunt going wrong scared his face and left him unable to work in Hollywood. He had to have a lot of surgeries, which cost a whole lot. Her father worked as a low-level government clerk while her mother was a seamstress. When the Depression hit, money got a lot tighter. Between Roy’s surgeries and the Depression, Cordelia was forced to quit school in order to help provide for her family. She started working as an intern in the music department soon after since she was one of the few who didn’t go running at Sammy’s outbursts. She went back to school after she left the studio and ended up working as a music teacher for young children. She wanted to share her love of music with everyone she could.
