My last big art for the end of the year. An idea I had one day, and instead of putting it in a mental drawer with a note to "do later", I decided to take it and do it now. Happy to have made this decision.

Something a little different from what I'm used to doing, and a little different from the things I've done this year. A good test for me, and a great result I would say.

Thank you very much to everyone for the support during 2024. The only thing I hope for 2025 in terms of art is to continue to improve. And maybe try to free myself from the chains of the ink demon so I can draw other things besides aside from the little devil (but I can't promise anything, lol)

May you all have a happy new year, and may 2025 be a better one, for everything and everyone.

Stay well, and take care. ⭐

Bendy Comic (5)

Day 5 of trying to convince @themeatly to let me be Bendy's voice actor because if Alice can rise on stage then I can rise to this position! (Sorry if the ending is a bit rushed I didn't take it off screenshots and I'm not going to redo it because it sounded too good to redo..😭😔)

I’m kinda sad about Bendy: The Cage tbh, I mean I’m glad it’s not cancelled or anything but still I would have love to have BTC as a spinoff…

But I believe that we can’t hate something that is not released yet so we’ll see <3

Also no hate to theMeatly & Mike ofc!!!

[loserdragonnerd]

more yapping

personally i think Audreys abilities in BATDR were…underused? by a lot? the early trailers made them seem like theyd be a big thing but i feel like they werent. the only time i can think of where Banish really had a role in the story was to push Alice off her platform thing and i think they couldve used it more?

way before BATDR came out i feel like they set it up to be this like big finale almost(although clearly it wasnt stares at 5 big pieces of content coming in the future) and in my head i had this idea that Audreys power would be revealed as a way to set souls free from the cycle. technically they could still go that route in B3ndy. that would be SOOO GOOD IMO !!

one thing i DONT want to happen in B3ndy is what BATDR did with its characters. i think Wilson is a decent villain but there were so many new characters that seemed to push the old ones aside. like ofc there would be new ones ik that but like Amok for example? sewer cult? there was already a cult in the franchise that they could’ve used for that part. like they could’ve had Sammy’s cult members there but have Sammy missing cause Wilson had already imprisoned him. in general i just think the old characters are underutilized in BATDR

another example is the lost keys thing in Artists Rest. they had new characters be apart of that puzzle but i think its fitting for Wally instead? like chapter 2 of BATIM has almost the same concept for a quest based around Wally idkdbhfjfj

Constantly moving cycle theory (Bendy)

Here’s a Bendy theory. There’s something I wonder about a lot about the ink realm/cycle, which is its deterioration that spans across the games. In batim, the cycle was straightforward. Think a film reel constantly playing. It just kept looping, that was it. No one can break apart from the script (well I guess except the weird mysterious yellow messages that still has an ambiguous meaning). In batdr, Wilson can forcefully hop dimensions, stop it, mess with it etc etc, and by the end of it, when Audrey receives the book, she outright said that the cycle is leaking into the real world. So, say there’s like, a space between the cycle and the real world. And from the looks of it, a hole is gradually opening in between them.

Why? How? It definitely kickstarted from when Wilson began to hop dimensions, or at least after batim’s (god knows how many)’th cycle.

What if the Cycle was supposed to remain a cycle?

The Cycle runs on its own rules, what if one of them is that [it must be stimulating]. If we take Joey’s creation of the cycle in FTB as a reference for canon, he built this world like some mind-fucking hellscape memory lane, and the cycle idea was added later. All in all, he was going to add some kind of script to it later. The ink world operates that way, a story that starts, and ends, and starts again, with a definite storyline and script. But when someone deters off that script, stops time from moving forward, everything becomes stagnant, and begins to crumble. Maybe it’s built like something that should always be used/moving, and if it doesn’t, it’ll speed up the deterioration process. Maybe, it’s like a record that’s always meant to be playing, and if it stops, it’ll begin to break apart. That’ll add an interesting stake to Audrey. That trying to make the cycle better for everyone comes at a price— which is the ink world slowly eating into the real world. She needs to pick between keeping everyone inside or bringing everything out, including the horrors the real world may not be able to handle.

Okay- so I've seen SHB (super horror bro) do a review of the new Bendy content we got today, and I've recorded it with my friends as well. I've also seen a few other opinions and I'm gonna give mine:

First of all, this new content was sort of a game? Very unfinished and I think the point was to showcase more of what was to come with a tease and some game announcements.

I will agree with Halfusek on this: Mike Mood is a cunt and definitely kept this unfinished on purpose because he's a bitter bitch about the fans and all the data miners and theorists

However, I think TheMeatly is trying his hardest to keep people in the fandom happy with new games and fresh ideas. I'm very excited for B3NDY and Silent City personally, because I want to know more about GENT and their role in making Bendy and Dudley and the colored ink. It's all too shrouded for it not to be suspicious.

I liked what we got, because it'll hold us over until THE CAGE comes out and it keeps us on our toes. Just because something was a flop now doesn't mean the future content will flop. We just have to have patience and see what happens.

No matter what, I am staying in this fandom. This is a home to me and where I met all the friends I've come to know and love. I have my au's, I have my characters, and no one's opinion is gonna change that no matter how large of an icon they are in a fandom.

TLDR: The new content was a little underwhelming, but we have new games to look forward to. I will remain in the fandom despite harsh opinions from others.

Beth Rambles about Bendy

because holy crap I may have been hit with a horrifying aha moment. And full disclosure, I am aware that it sounds very Tin Hat and making a lot of assumptions, but at this moment I need to get it spewed out of my head. So be aware that I'm going to be emulating the Pepe Silvia meme

And just as a heads up, I'm mentioning the designs that were leaked in the Dreams Come to Life graphic novel so click Keep Reading at your own risk! And please don't be rude or try and go after anybody, this is my own opinions and frazzled freight train thoughts.

So I just got hit with a realization regarding the graphic novel and the whole decanonization with the books.

Mike and Meatly did it so they could avoid the backlash of the designs in the graphic novel and whatever they've got planned with the games moving forward, especially as it pertains to the character's designs. Or alternatively, they did it (the blunt "the books aren't canon anymore") to distract and/or pull one over on the fans so that way they can put their designs into the games and not deal with as much as scrutiny.

Cause we've seen with BATDR that they've improved the designs of the human characters compared to Joey in BATIM, and given we have both The Cage, a game that's focusing on the horrors of GENT (which involve human experimentation as far as BATDR hinted at) and B3NDY probably focusing on the aftermath of BATDR from Audrey's perspective, which you would think would involve her trying to deal with her new living toon roommate while factoring the consequences of being pulled into the Inky Hellscape on a Monday/Tuesday depending on the time Wilson dragged her in and how long she was actually trapped there (which ya know, wasn't answered in game). Either way, there's a lot of potential of more human characters to interact with, and if they really wanted to push the idea of a more "mature" and "experimental" [And boy do I have thoughts about that], what better way than having in-universe film of experiments or photos of the victims, or even flashback sequences we could play through?

It's not a secret that Mike and Meatly are very controlling in regard to their IPs (Adrienne confirming that they had a hand in every book; what happened to Showdown Bandit; Mike's own comments in the Bendy AMA; etc) and they have a tendency to ignore the room and stick their foot in their mouths (The fact it was only Mike that made acknowledgement of the Kindly Beast Firings and the accused workplace abuse; Mike deciding to "be clearer" on Meatly's comment regarding the books being fun extras; the situation less than two weeks ago that led to Mike to delete his Twitter again; etc). And let's be real, the quality control on the graphic novel is abyssmal, even for a extremely rushed project. Like I'd argue this is past "get it done good enough" or "we're making games for stupid kids" and I'm in absolute shock that this is what happened.

Obviously the idea of them on purposely setting things in place to either distract the fan base or try and claim control over the "canon" would imply that they are competent enough to think ahead and be able to convince Scholastic to risk customer goodwill, but I find it so strange that they started this takedown of the books's role in the canon less than two months away from Fade to Black's release and then the continuing snowballing. It's probably more likely that Mike got tired of people praising the books for their work and wanted control, and basically convinced Meatly that they had to change the books' canon status because it wouldn't fit with their plans, and they didn't think of the consequences, especially after people found leaks and preview images and the fact that people still know what Mike had said in regard to diversity back during the Bendy AMA:

And while I've been putting blame on Mike, as he's been the one to be more vocal and obvious, Meatly is just as bad for letting this to get to this point, for letting Mike stick his foot in his mouth and constantly put the Bendy brand in a negative light and undermine him with every opportunity. Like I don't know what the business relationship is like, but at some point you gotta put your foot down.

As much as it's unlikely, I do like the theory @mickeys-malarkey posted where there could be more to the whole graphic novel of Buddy's take on events that just being an adaptation. I mean the idea of the graphic novels being an extension of Joey's attempts to cover his ass would be an amazing spin on the Mascot Horror media outside of the video games.

Hopefully those two manage to keep quiet for a while and not pull a "OwO here be the Cage's trailer~! And Lone Wolf Release!" and try to drown out the graphic novel's release but I'm not holding my breath xp

at the moment I'm following words that my friend has said before in some situations, "laugh so you don't cry". he was onto something,alright.

no but seriously, how did I won so hard and lose so much in the spasm of 1 day. news about new Bendy cartoons being made and following that the news of Cage being cancelled. how in the world did that happened in less than 1 hour,what the fucking fuck.

Lots of Bendy stuff this month !! Here's another, unofficial thing to add to the table-

DCTL REDRAWN HAS A (pre-production) DISCORD SERVER !!!

All relevant information and scope regarding the plan so far is available here, do join if you're willing to participate or help out !!

[clonedchaos]

Not me completely manifesting that Steven Spielberg is going to be the director for the Bendy movie. Or, hear me out, J.A. Bayona. Both of these are for specific indulgent reasonings because if I had the guy who directed Jurassic Park or the guy who brought the Indoraptor to life, I would literally pass out from excitement. Because I ain’t ever going to get my Jurassic and Bendy crossover outside of my fanfics and this is as close as I’m gonna get.

In my defense Steven Spielberg HAS directed horror movies so he would have experience. I doubt either will be the director but can’t hurt to dream.

Like please, Meatly, I need this 🙏.

(And didn’t he say he wanted puppetry? I’d absolutely lose my mind if they make an animatronic or something similar to the Indoraptor and overlay him with CGI. Y’all I’m so hyped about this movie you have NO IDEA!)

Uh, anyways, what’s everyone’s thoughts? Who do you think the director for the Bendy movie is going to be?
