What's a girl gotta do to find videos/images of character model studies, and in-game animations of the Ink Demon, Let alone any other character? I wish to over analyze every inch of every character I hyperfixate on until my eyes hurt and they're ingrained into my brain.

[spooky-donut-ghost-house]

📣 Attention Bendy Fans and Aspiring Writers! 🖋️📚

Hello fellow Bendy enthusiasts!

Are you a die-hard Bendy and the Ink Machine fan? Have you read all the Bendy books, played every game, and watched every thrilling moment unfold? If so, I want YOU to join a group of talented fanfic authors!

About me:

(ahem)

Hello! my name is Meg, and I am a teenage girl currently attending a trade school, and struggle with severe ADHD, Anxiety, and OCD and am currently taking medication for all of these. Unfortunately, not all of my symptoms have been able to be effectively treated— as I suffer from severe writers block and mental fatigue when actually trying to put my thoughts and ideas on a page. This unfortunately includes the fanfic I’m trying to write, which is why I need help. 

I struggle with communication and have only one friend because of this, who is also part of the bendy community. I should note I am very socially anxious, and shy, but friendly (I think?) once I warm up.

My role in writing the story: 

as of right now I have a vague outline skeleton of the plot of the story, and character backstory’s, but if I could write an entire story by myself I probably wouldn’t be here asking for help, if you would like to see ideas I have for the story as of right now, I’ve copied and pasted the outline in a server on my discord!

My requirements: 

This project is nonprofit, as I do not have the means to pay you (unemployed), so please have that in mind 

I’d feel more comfortable if my fellow writers were around the same age as me, for maturity reasons and such, but I will allow people up to 20 to join.

I’d also appreciate it if you have read all the books/own them, I’m currently on page 40 of the Lost ones myself.

If you do want to join me, please have an example of your writing on hand (bendy fanfic if available)

Accurate Knowledge of history, ww2, America during ww2, etc

Able to accurately depict grief, etc

Background about the story

My fanfic takes place from 1943 to 1945

The main character, Sylvia is (unknowingly) the daughter of a famous retired Hollywood actress and an popular musician, Sylvia has two older brothers, who, along with their father, was drafted into ww2. Sylvie is the 3rd child and only daughter of the Young family— she has two younger brothers, who are twins. 

Sylvia meets Joey when he takes a wrong turn on a street, and comes across her selling her painting and sketches on the sidewalk, eventually the two get to talking, and Joey offers her a job, which she accepts, and the rest of the story details her journey through the studio.

Warnings about the story : this fanfic will (probably) have period typical homophobia and racism, curses, harmful ideals, gore, body horror, torture, casualty’s of war, suicides, car wrecks, mental abuse, manipulation, exploitation, mentions of past abuse, character deaths, BRUTAL character deaths, and other warnings to be added.

How I currently imagine handling credit:

I’m think about having the people who worked on a certain chapter put their initials/names in either the bottom of the page, the top corner, or anywhere else I can think of, if you would like to suggest a different method please reach out to me

If you would like to join me, you can reach me (or join my discord server) on these platforms:

Why did I add these themes? Because I feel like that if they weren’t mentioned, it kinda feels like we’re ignoring/erasing the past, and that is a major injustice to those who suffered because of these beliefs during this time. (i should note that I myself do not support these “Ideals” and am part of the LGBTQ community myself (Asexual).)

[loserdragonnerd]

adding to this

they threw out 4 full length novels??? what about the author??? i sincerely hope that they told her the books wouldnt be canon before they had her write FOUR NOVELS

also the books are so so so important for joeys character specifically.. not even just tiol but the other books as well.. the books do so much more for his character than the games do despite him being the main antagonist(although. it probably doesnt matter anymore because of his crappy “redemption” in batdr💀)

them erasing the books pisses me off so much it feels like 2/3rds of the lore were just thrown out

Problems with erasing Bendy Book canon:

With the FNAF books, we were told they were canon-divergent fairly early on. For Bendy, this was never specified, leading many to believe this was all just straight-up canon information that they were running with for theorycrafting. For a long time.

Why the hell would you de-canonize the ENTIRE origin story of Boris? He's a central character to Bendy and the Ink Machine.

You're going to throw out THE ENTIRE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF YOUR MAIN VILLAIN? THAT'S.......NOT A GOOD IDEA!

(And before it's pointed out, no, we don't "need" Illusion of Living for "gay evidence." The point here is y'all released an autobiography for one of your two main characters and you're saying it's not canon. That's ludicrous.)

Things that were explained/brought up in the novels that apparently "aren't canon anymore": how Sammy got infected, Thomas's conflicting feelings about the machine he created, the origin of Boris the wolf, several instances of Joey's gaslighting and manipulative behavior and his slow descent into madness after Henry's departure, a look into Gent technology and the Gent experiments that took place after they switched over to "research", Abby Lambert (who SHOULD be in the mainline games all things considered), Joey Drew's ENTIRE AUTOBIOGRAPHY including his PHILOSOPHIES AND REAL ASS LIFE, ANDDD the themes of classism, racism, and sexism that were VERY present at that time in history. Among other things.

You're taking out several new characters for no reason. I'm not saying they all need to return, but it makes zero sense to introduce a bunch of new guys and then immediately abandon them...only to introduce a bunch of OTHER new guys.

I've seen a few comments in response to Mike that go along the lines of "oh thank goodness now I don't need to read the books to understand the lore!" No disrespect, but I think that's a fundamental misunderstanding of what the books do. They enhance your understanding of all the background plot. You don't need to read the books to understand the games. But that shouldn't mean erasing the existing information's canonicity because not everyone wants to read it.

Bendy isn't FNAF. Bendy has a much more streamlined plot. Not everything fits perfectly of course, but to take out such a large chunk of what we THOUGHT was the plot (or plot-adjacent) is headscratching to me. You claim to care about the plot, characters and worldbuilding and then you decide that some of the BEST written interpretations of these characters and their world just aren't "legitimate" now? .......All of a sudden?

BENDY: LONE WOLF TRAILER ANALYSIS

This should be the same safe house from BATIM Chapter 3 and BATDS but with the updated BATDR textures.

Ditto with the audio log getting updated.

Interestingly Allison narrates,

"Every day it seems Mr. Drew loses more and more interest in the project. Almost as if something else has captured his imagination."

LONE WOLF takes place between Ink Machine and Dark Revival so this might be our look at the ink beings' reactions to the changes GENT/Wilson have been making to the loop, mistaking it for Joey.

Turrets! Though we don't see them in action in the trailer, I feel like this will work similarly to Bioshock. Turrets attack you until you damage it enough till it goes offline, giving you time and access to hack it to work in your favour instead.

Self-defense mechanics! No need to keep running till you find a miracle station or just perish from no sprint!

Looks like we're going back to Bendy Land!

Ink Widows are now an enemy type!

It could be a stretch to say that this is the bad ending but could be the death animation.

Interestingly, there's a red glow emitting from the ink swallowing Boris.

This is now the second instance of Red in the Bendy series, the first being in a screenshot of The Cage. We could see this further explored and explained there.

Traps! Noticeably in the second pic, Lord Amok's symbol is on the trap. There could be 2 different types of traps, one being placed by Boris and won't damage and one is a environmental type that damages us.

Quality of life update, you can now change your perspective!

We might be able to find materials in lockers to either upgrade or build new weapons and MAYBE more lore.

Boris animatronic enemy! Seeing as we're adventuring through Bendy Land, we might also encounter the Bendy animatronic and possibly an Alice as well.

This is either a new addition to our spawn hub like other rooms in previous updates of Dark Survival OR an arcade room you can find in one of the levels (or both)

The sledgehammer Boris wields earlier in the trailer came be seen next to Butcher Bash so this might be where we find that after playing it as a mini game.

(small note: look at all of them in plush form!)

And of course, the new Ink Demon model. Sad to see the BATIM Ink Demon go but hopefully we also see a new mechanic or two with this new one.

BONUS: ALICE ANGEL AND SAMMY LAWRENCE ARE CONFIRMED TO APPEAR IN LONE WOLF

An official still of Alice can be found in the LW Press Kit on the JDS Website, Sammy is in the gif in the description of the steam page and website.

Don't tell Pastra, Alice's model looks updated here! Way more polished and detailed than BATDR, love it.

Sammy and his banjo!

BATR Archives Highlights

BATDR was updates with extra content in the form of Archives. Most of the descriptions are related to the development of the game, but some have interesting lore implications.

“ghost of a man”... hmm.. is this implying that real!Henry is dead?

“show a natural progression of the Ink Demon’s evolution as Wilson as held the cycle in place” this line seems to be confirming my theory that the person in charge of the ink machine influences both the ink demon’s appearance/behavior and possibly the ink world’s as well.

Interesting... so the story of BATDS takes place at the same time as the story of BATDR. There are still some unopenable mystery boxes in BATDS, so I hope that the game will be updated with some more lore tidbits.

“Among other things” sounds so creepy, given that she said he told her she resembles his mother. I hope what it actually means is that he was just treating her as a replacement parent.

Well, this confirms that they were going for a straight out redemption storyline for Joey Drew. Can’t say I like the way it was handled, but given all the problems they had to face while making the game, they gave it the best shot.

I feel like confirming that Nathan was a good dad after all kind of cheapens Wilson’s character, because it basically means that Wilson was evil for no real reason.

The last line in Wilson’s description is very interesting though. It explains how he lost his eye, and why he looks so old, despite being no older than mid-40s.

Alas, he’s still a one-note character with an over-the-top personality. Especially with the confirmation that even his monologue about having a bad childhood was a load of bull. But I do love the confirmation that our theories regarding Nathan Arch Jr were on the right track. Personally, I wish they would have left that narrative complexity in, because BATDR feels stripped of all of it. Everything is very obvious and exactly the way it looks like and there isn’t a lot of content left for theorycrafting. Imagine if they did keep Nathan Arch Jr, but made it ambiguous which “Nathan Arch” reference/tape in the game refers to which of these two characters. Would be fun to try to figure that out.

Given Carley’s size, the person inside her could only be a child.

So why are we resetting the cycle again? The ink creatures seem to be thriving when the cycle is held in place.

So Heidi is neither a child nor a failed Audrey, she’s just a deeply, deeply traumatized woman.

We lost Sammy so that we could get Lord Amok. Welp.

Glad to see an explanation for his powers though.

First canonically nonbinary character in Bendy! ;D

[r0zzk1ll]

Hello bendy fandom Really fucking long rant/analysis abt me defending wally franks batim in a nutshell (and kind of basically making an au??.?. idk probably). enjoy if u want or don't idc 🎷🐇

i know this is a really stupid thing to be mad about, but the fact that wally isnt buddy boris has stuck with me ever since dctl was released. i found out through a fucking superhorrorbro video of all things all the way back in like 2018 i'm pretty sure 😭😭 i was so disappointed when i found out bc like WHAT DO U MEAN THE JANITOR/HANDYMAN OF JOEY DREW STUDIOS, EHO WAS GENERALLY A TRICKSTER AND A CLUTZ AND LIKED TO PISS PEOPLE OFF, ISN'T THE PERFECT BORIS CLONE. BUDDY BORIS FITS/HAD POTENTIAL TO FIT MOST TO ALL OF THAT CRITERIA.

and don't grt me wrong, i (kind of) like buddy as a character, BUT i really just don't think he fits the role (from what i've seen/read). like he could've been a different boris clone as a little easter egg/nod to what happened to him and how he died but as like. an important role in the game?? even though the books aren't even fucking canon apparently now so his subplot doesn't even make sense anymore?????.????... ooh bitchh

ALSO the "he (wally) got outta there that's why/he has a wife and kids" IS A WEAK ASS FUCKING ARGUMENT. THIS IS NOT A SHITS AND GIGGLES PLOTLINE U CAN JUST THROW AWAY. how come thomas grts to be tom (which makes somewhat sense with him also being a handyman type of guy), but wally can't also partake in the Main Character-ified Borisification to help henry traverse the studio. why can't that just be so easy to do. there could've been so many cool extra plotpoints and nods to what could've happened to him but Noooo Noooooooooo they just HAD to make a whole new character JUST for wally to NOT BE BORIS. ESPECIALLY WHEN THE BOOKS ARE NON CANON NOW BECAUSE THAT MAKES TOTAL SENSE. (/sarc)

and don't FUCKING quote me on batds bc i know SOMEBODU will be like "b-b-b-bbut b-b-buddy's whole s-s-side plot with collecting the scraps in batds makes him c-c-c-canon!!! 🥺🥺🥺💖😭😭💔💔💔🎀🎀✨✨ ur just mad bc it's not what was assumed by the fandom!! ;-; úwù heh..." FIRST OF ALL, BUDDY ISNT EVEN MENTIONED IN ANY OF THE CANON GAMES (besides the secret message in the safehouse but i don't think that rlly counts imo), NOR DOES HE HAVE ANY RELEVANCE IN THE STORY WHATSOEVER, WHICH MEANS HE IS STRICTLY BOOK-CANON. SECOND OF ALL, BATDS WAS KNOWN AS A SIDE/EXTRA GAME AT THE TIME OF IT'S RELEASE AND WASN'T EVEN CONFIRMED TO BE APART OF BATIM OR ANY OTHER PART OF THE FRANCHISE (ASIDE FROM A SIDE GAME TO PLAY WHILE BATDR WAS IN PRODUCTION) UNTIL BATDR WAS RELEASED AND CONFIRMED BATDS IS HAPPENING DURING IT (WHICH DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE EITHER)!!!

I DON'T CARE WHAT KIND OF OPINION COULD CHANGE MY MIND. WE GOT A PERFECTLY GOOD AND WELL-DEVELOPED CHARACTER (AND A [PERSONAL] FAN FAVORITE) AT THAT POINT FOR WHO BORIS COULD'VE BEEN, AND IT GOT TAKEN FOR SOME STUPID SEEMINGLY HALF-ASSED SUBPLOT THAT'S ONLY HALF-CANON NOW BECAUSE MIKE FUCKING D IS A GOD DAMN MORON IDIOT BASTARD ASS BITCH OHHH MY GOD IT MAKES ME SO ANGRY I'M GONNA PULL OUT ALL MY HAUR

sorry. almost lost my cool there guys.. ☝️😎 (/J)

soo with all that said, PERSONALLY this is what i think they should've done with buddy instead (under the cut so this post isn't 600 pages long)

first of all; scrap buddy's origin story completely and just make dtcl about the fact that he was simply another victim of the machine instead of making him such a major character (ex. a boris clone that was almost perfect but didn't quite make it like i said earlier)

on top of that, dctl could've just been insight on a single worker's process through working at the studio to being one of many victims of the machine, instead of turning him into such a titular important gary stu ass character with an in-depth backstory and Joey Drew Favoritism™ apparently that CLEARLY didn't need it + shouldn't be an mc if he's only in the books + the books aren't canon and the games are. so then it doesn't make it make any sense if he has such an important role and he isn't even fucking canon anyway and etc.

if he would've just stayed a minor inconvenient mc in a non-canon book it wouldn't have been detrimental to the lore as Mr. D Likes To Exaggerate (to me) + the books just seem like a fun one-off exclusive to the game series anyway, so it starts to kind of make sense why they aren't canon and leaves a lot of mysteries up to interpretation which is something i DO appreciate (to a CERTAIN extent)

here's what i think could've been done if wally was actually buddy boris and faced The Horrors™ like a normal main character should. an au, if you will (AND bc im VERY bias abt wally since He was my first ever og blorbo the first time i heard his audio log i literally owe him my Life💜💜💜💜)

wally could've started dropping hints in his audio logs that something funny was happening in the studio (specifically to him)/he could've been the last major victim to be sacrificed to the machine and therefore being one of the reasons of having the role of "the perfect boris" as malice said

-he also seems like the type of person to give into manipulation fairly easily, not knowing how truly bad something is before he gets involved yk

-a bit of a stretch BUT could also be a nod to susie's initial likeness towards wally pre-canon and vice versa (sourced from the special audio log wally has on the jds yt channel)

-him being the perfect boris also could allude to his personality/attributes and the way he talked abt the studio

and you can't forget the audio log of him and thomas bickering like COME ONNNN THERE COULD'VE BEEN A WHOOOLE SUB-SUBPLOT WHERE TOM AND BUDDY BORIS RECOGNIZE EACH OTHER SOMEHOW AT SOME POINT BUT THEY DON'T KNOW HOW

-TOM COULD'VE RECOGNIZED HIM EVEN AS BRUTE BORIS AFTER HENRY KILLS HIM and allison too but TOMMMMMMM😭😭😭😭😭CAN ANYONE HEAR MEEEEE

extra hints in the game like certain phrases and mannerisms of his (ink/glowing ink writings like his "i'm outta here!" written in certain locations or like. boris being clumsier as he walks/carrying around keys/scavenging for food [kind of like in the start of chapter 3], etc.)

-i also think that the connection that buddy boris (and just boris in general) has with food can connect with wally as well bc of the audio log where he's like "Omg 💖 Cake 💖just for me! Don't Tell Anyone Though. Our little secret. 😝" or the bit in the handbook where he finds some "churros" i Guess

there's also a LOT of potential for there to be a whole OTHER subplot where sammy could have found him one day and hadn't recognized him bc All The Boris Clones Look The Same, but buddy boris recognized sammy and there could be a whole conversation with henry and sammy abt him and dropping hints at it and blahblahblah etc etc.

-sammy probably could've mentioned him* at some point too even if he hadn't seen buddy boris as like a "hey.. i knew that fuckass guy.. wtf" (*and i know he mentions wally in the hot topic takeover thing on twitter from a while ago but i mean like in the actual game)

i think that the fact of boris being a Non-Verbal King™ would also be a funny contrast to how many god damn audio logs wally has. like Shut yuor mouth fucker /REF

the bit in chapter 3 where boris knows every nook and cranny of the studio and how to navigate the vent system could also lead to wally's nature of having a lot of knowledge of the layout to the building (due to being a janitor/running errands for people, similar to buddy) + he mentions staying in late to freshen up some offices so he might've explored more using that time as well because his personality shows he's a bit of a nosy guy

ALSO a stretch, but wally's first audio log in chapter one being fairly close to the first boris corpse displayed could've been a good foreshadow to his revival as buddy boris (and where the theory originated i'm pretty sure once ch2 came out)

the saferoom at the start of chapter 3 could've also been a great place to reference him (they could've put his hat from bendy royale in the shelf next to/on the hammock Can anyone hear me)

i also think that wally is supposed to be painted as an older guy?? so he probably already would've moved on from the studio due to leaving and starting his own business and having a family I Guess?????? idk but to me i think he'd be more of the college drop-out that thinks he's hot shit type of guy when in reality he doesn't know what a 2 + 2 is (ex. the audio log in batds where he's like "i was the best Student! Brickmore High! [tiktok bold emoji] These college bozos don't be knowin' shit!!"

-younger people are easier to manipulate like i talked abt earlier (especially someone like him that doesn't think before he Does Anything . boy has no thoughts)

wally also most likely would've known who henry was/was friendly with him while working there too at some point while henry was still at the studio pre-canon, so he probably recognized him throughout the cycle

i could ramble forever abt this bc it's such a strangely frustrating topic for me BUT in conclusion; i personally tbink that it would've been perfectly logical for wally to have been buddy boris (probably called somethig else), and buddy should've been a completely seperate character that would've done just as well on his own in the book instead of having a whole ass overarching plot for no reason?? and the "canonicity" of it is weirdly up for debate??? idk Watever thank you for coming to my tedtalk 😇😇Bye

An Angel's Hope

Chapter 1:Rise Of An Angel

.

.

"Hello?" The confused ink angel asked the darkness shrouding her.

"Hello angel. Glad to see you're awake." A familiar voice came from the darkness.

She drifted off for a moment,as she tried to think. She couldn't remember his name. She knew that voice and she knew who he was,but when it came to his name it slipped off her tongue.

"What's the matter angel? Can't remember my name?" He asked with a mock tone. She nodded her head unsure if he could see her.

"The name's Datura." He exclaimed joyously. The ink angel stared at the floor for a moment and repeated "Datura…" Datura grinned at her in the darkness.

"Yes angel?"

"What…. What's my name?" She looked up in the direction she thought his voice was coming from. "Your name…" He paused. "Well angel I can't tell you. That's for you to find out for yourself." After he spoke the last word,the room went silent. He had left. Now the ink angel was by herself, scared, and alone.

.

.

Chapter 2: Starting Up The Death Machine

.

.

The ink angel shakily came to her feet and began to slowly walk, she had to lean against the wall to keep herself upright.A noise came from up ahead "D-Datura?" She shouted, "Is that you?" She made her way to the noise then stopped. She saw strang chains holding something that was deep in the abyss. The ink angel carefully made her way to the railing across the room, trying not to fall. She reached the rail and grabbed on to it and steadied herself. "Wow!" She peered into the abyss below,it looked so deep,dark,cold.

She shivered at the thought of falling in. Then she looked to her right and realized there was a lever on a little console. "Wonder what this does." Then the ink angel pushed the lever down and then the chains began to move, and something emerged from the abyss. A machine of sorts,then fear struck the angel's heart "The ink machine…." Whispering with a hand over her mouth.

"Alice?" A voice hissed behind her, she turned and before her was a grinning demon. The demon reached it's hand up to touch the angel's face,she froze in fear.

The demon shrieked when an axe was thrust into it's head, it tumbled to the ground. The ink angel looked down at the demon then looked up to the doorway where whoever struck the demon was. There was a cartoonish wolf,with one arm.

The wolf approached her, slowly to not alarm her. Then he reached his hand out to her, she grabbed his hand and he lead her through the studio,to a higher level.

.

.

Chapter 3:The Wolf And The Angel

.

.

The ink angel woke up from a nightmare, covered in sweat. She sat up and realized she was on a cot in a small room. With a poster of the cartoonish wolf she had met earlier hanging on the wall,the poster said "Boris the wolf in sheep songs" in bold text. Then it dawned on her where she was, the wolf brought her here. To his safehouse.

The angel stood up from the cot,this time with more stability. Then made her way to the main room in the safehouse. "Woah." She whispered to herself. Then she bumped into her wolf friend. "Ah! Sorry!" She said, rubbing her head. The wolf didn't say anything, just stared at her for a moment then went back to drawing on the wall. "A-are you ok?" She looked at his arm, that was missing. He gave her a strange look,then nodded.

"O-Oh ok." She looked up at his drawing,it was of an angel. "You draw beautifully."

Then she added "Who is she?" She pointed to the angel he drew. Then he wrote next to the drawing "Alice Angel." She smiled at him and picked up a paint brush and painted the wolf, and wrote "Boris The Wolf" next to her drawing. Then she looked at him, "That's your name, right?" The wolf nodded his head.

"No?" "But I saw it on the poster. That must be you." She protested. The wolf snarled at the angel, and then left the safehouse.

Who was she to tell someone their name must be what she saw on a poster because it looked like them, she didn't even know her own name and she tried to force the cartoonish wolf to use a name he clearly didn't like.

Some time passed and the wolf didn't come back, had he abandoned her because she had pissed him off? She'd wondered. After a moment she stood up and decided she would go find her new friend, if he even was her friend after what she did, and explore the strange place she was in. She opened the door that lead to the outside of the safehouse and walked down the still, quiet hallway.

The ink angel found a room after walking for a long time, she went in to look for the wolf. She hadn't found him, but she did find some writing on the wall."HE WILL SET US FREE!" It read. Who? She wondered. She saw some ink in a bucket and she stuck one hand in then wrote under the writing already on the wall. "WHO WILL SET US FREE?" Maybe whoever wrote here first would come back and write to tell her, that's when she started to hear voices. Ringing in her ears. Where was it coming from? She looked around confused then collapsed on the ground. Beginning to tear up she tried to scream for help but words wouldn't come out. Her throat felt tight,she started to shake then she looked down at her hand and it was melting into the floor. Then everything went black.

The cartoonish wolf had gotten all the supplies he needed and blew off the steam he needed too. He passed a room he sees every time he goes out. At first he passed it,but then went back,looked inside. He saw the girl he had saved from the ink demon earlier. She was unconscious and becoming part of the dark puddles. He rushed over to her,he picked her up and carried the angel back to his safehouse and laid her on the cot. He quickly cleaned the ink that she had touched off her, what was she thinking?! Touching the ink like that for too long can pull you back, make you part of the darkness.

He put a blanket over her then left the room, the wolf decided to cook some food for the angel and himself. He opened a can of bacon soup and put in a pot on the stove.

In a few minutes the soup was ready and he put it in bowls and set them down on the table and went to the room where he had left the ink angel. The cartoonish wolf gently shook her to get her up, "huh?" She said sleepily. Then realized she was back at the safehouse with the wolf. She sat up and hugged him tightly "I'm so glad you found me! Thank you!" He froze in shock for a moment then hugged her back.

They both let go, and he lead her to the table and they are together.

"I'm…sorry for earlier." She looked up at him after she finished her soup."I shouldn't have done that."

The wolf nodded as a way to accept her apology. She smiled softly at him.

"So what is your name?" The ink angel gave him a curious look.

The wolf picked up his little pocket knife from the table and carved into the table "Tom."

"Tom" she read it out loud and his ears perked up when she did. "That's a lovely name…I wish I knew mine…"She sighed. Tom got up from the table and pointed to the angel he drew earlier. "Oh! You want to call me Alice?" She tilted her head.

Tom nodded. "Ok! Until we find out my real name!"

Chapter 4:Fallen Angel

.

.

The ink angel and her wolf companion. Went up to a brand new level, level 9. The other levels they frequently searched had nothing useful to them anymore.

But they'd never searched this level before.

"This level is pretty creepy huh?" Alice nudged Tom's arm, and the wolf gave her an unamused look.

The two made it to a strange room. A room full of other wolves,like Tom. But closer resemblance to the Boris wolf from the posters she'd seen before. But they weren't exact. These wolves were strapped to tables, cross eyes, and they had their organs stroon out from their chests and stomachs.

"Oh my gosh….Tom do you see th-" she stopped abruptly when she glanced in his direction and found the wolf was gone. "TOM?!" The ink angel screeched in distress,she looked around frantically behind every mutilated toon wolf and Tom was nowhere to be found.

Then she heard it. A sinister laugh. Coming from all around her. She looked around and didn't see anything or anyone different from before.

"Who's there?!" The ink angel yelled, hoping she sounded strong and threatening.

The laughing stopped. The ink angel let her guard down slowly, then the voice spoke.

"Well,well,well. Looks like I have a new fly trapped in my inescapable web." The voice laughed again.

"I know you're wondering where your precious, little wolf friend is. Well I'll have you know he's here with me. Just past the door on the other side of the room you see. But you better hurry, Boris may fall apart without you!" The voice let out one last evil laugh and then the room fell silent.

The ink angel stood staring at the floor for a long while, stunned. Where'd she heard that voice before? Why'd it sound so familiar but so new? Then she broke from her thoughts and remembered she had to save Tom from whatever or whoever had taken him.

She made her way to the big metal door and it opened for her as soon as she stepped in front of it. "Huh, weird" she said to herself as she walked through the door. It opened to an ominously dark hallway.

She walked down it and saw a cardboard cutout of Alice Angel and she took a right turn and kept walking forward till there was another metal door in front of her.

But this one didn't open when she grew near, it stayed tightly shut.

The door didn't open for 10 minutes and the ink angel was getting tired of waiting,so she started kicking the door. "Come on you stupid door! Open!"

"Stop kicking my door you wretch!" The voice from earlier said as the door opened.

The ink angel walked into the dark room with the elevated,lit room behind a pan of glass and the door she came through slammed behind her.

"Well,well,well, what do we have here? A figure appeared behind the glass. A woman. But the ink angel couldn't see her face well enough to see what she looked like.

"Another piper, perhaps a striker,or maybe a fisher?" The woman looked at the ink angel from the corner of her eye and what she saw infuriated her.

The woman ran up to the glass and slammed her fists against it. The ink angel could she the woman's face clearly now, one side of her face was mangled and horrid looking. The flesh of her mouth was cut open revealing teeth even when her mouth was closed, and her eye on the same side was gouged out and of pure blackness.

"NO! I'M ALICE ANGEL! I'M ALICE ANGEL! YOU'RE A FAKE,A COPY,A CLONE! YOU DON'T DESERVE TO HAVE MY FACE! MY BEAUTIFUL FACE! GIVE IT TO ME!" The woman shrieked as she banged her fists on the glass more aggressively.

The glass began to crack and she kept banging hard on it causing it to crack more quickly. The glass shattered and glass flew everywhere. The ink angel quickly stepped back before she got really injured by the shards. She still got cut but only by a few small pieces.

The woman however had big shards of glass in her hands,arms,body, and face.

The woman let out a low growling sound as she stepped towards the ink angel,she pulled the big shards out as she stepped closer.

The ink angel tried to back away but she was as far pushed up against the wall as she could be.

There was no escaping whatever the woman was about to do next.

"The Failure of Joey Drew DIES here."

-----

Death of a creator. Again.

You know, it's kind of ironic to me. When you think about it,DR was the first game to introduce the idea of Joey being dead in-universe (and consequently, moving the timeline forward at the same time).

Yes,of course, the books introduced this concept first (Crack-Up and TIOL),but DR was the first to introduce this specific idea into >the games<, you know? (Or, I guess,you could consider BATDS to be the first to introduce this idea thanks to Wilson's secret audio log,but I consider DR more for the fact that it's more direct in telling the player to their face that "yeah, Joey is dead, fr fr")

Then in the same game, we are introduced to this version of Joey, who is supposed to be a copy of the real one, and a living ghost memory that we encounter along Audrey's journey. And what happens to him later at the end of the game? Yep, he dies at the hands of the Ink Demon (literally)

So not only do we have the idea that of the real Joey confirmed dead in-universe introduced in this games, but we also got to see his ink copy die as well. Basically,i guess you could say that Dark Revival was the game where Joey Drew died. Twice. And I find that ironic. So much for "cheating death itself". I guess the devs weren't satisfied with him dying just once, I see.

Sorry for the pointless rambling, I don't even know if all of this made sense lol. I've had this in mind for a while now.

Oh yeah, the prompt. Yeah, the "failure of Joey Drew" line was the first thing I thought of when I saw the prompt and the little sketch attached to it on the calendar. Interested in doing this one for a while. First time doing these underwater effects. They turned out nice.

I don't have much to say about this piece,honestly. Pretty proud of this one,ngl.

[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

Ok, guys. It's time for another Bendy theory.

In the beginning, I want to warn you about spoilers from the games BATDR, BATDS, and the books Dreams come to Life, The Illusion of Living, and The lost Ones.

And without further ado, let's dive in.

After playing BATDR several times and reading all available books from the Bendy universe, I still have so many questions.

Most of them are circling around Joey and his appearance in BATDR. It just doesn't fit. Nothing of it does.

Let's start with the things we know about Joey Drew from his memoirs, "The Illusion of Living,"

He was born as Joseph Drew, son of a shoe maker. With a loving mother, who encouraged him with everything and a father who was absent most of the time because of his job.

Nothing special, nothing out of the ordinary.

And that's almost all we know about his childhood and his teenage days.

He's also known as a visionary, founder of Joey Drew studios, creator of Bendy, a decent, humble and honest guy, who hates lies, who has a pretty unique view about the world he's living in since he was a kid, outstanding in almost everything he does, trusted and appreciated from everyone who has the pleasure to meet him, and successful in forming his life as he wants it to be, in one word 'perfect'.

The perfect boss, the perfect man, who has anything under control.

Sounds dreamlike, don't you think?

Yeah~ and that's all what I believe it is. A Dream. A version of him, he wants to be.. the version of how others should see him. We can almost call it an illusion, which I think doesn't complies with the truth.

Why do I think so? Well~ where should I start?

First of all, no human is perfect, and after all the information from BATIM, he's very far away from being the man he describes himself in his book.

He repeated several times that HE is the creator of Bendy, not Henry.

But all he had was 'just' a very vague idea, and Henry was the one who let them come to life.

His old "pal" Nathan Arch, who published 'The Illusion of Living' again after Joeys death, speaks very highly of him, although Nathan's memory's seem always to be different from the things Joey said. At least all the things that involved Nathan.

I know memories can become muddy over time, but that's just the tip of the iceberg, and we don't get any input from other people involved in Joeys stories.

So no one can say for sure if they are just 'polished' to be more interesting or entirely made up.

From his employees, we know for sure that the studio later on has a hard time staying over water. (or better 'over ink' *dadush* *caugh* Sorry...)

Joey denies this more than once, publicly and towards his staff.

That's pretty odd. He always says that he hates liar, so why is he lying?

Of course, I understand that you don't want the public to know about all the struggles, but why continue to lie towards your employees? Who KNOW about all of this?

Or does he really believe that everything's fine?

Definitely not, at least at some point. From BATDS, we know that Joey asked his good old pal Nathan for money, which Nathan simply ignored.

Intension unclear.

And then the biggest question mark of all, of course, the Ink Machine.

So, what do we know about the Ink Machine?

We know that Thomas Connor was the one who built the machine, we know that the machine has ink in it, that turns people into madman with the slightest contact, and turns them into Ink creatures, and we know that the ink corrupts the memorys of everyone who's 'infected' with it.

But, at least at my knowledge, no one knows where the Ink is coming from.

The original machine is described as massive in "The lost Ones", than here is the slightly smaller machine from the loop, and we know that Joey has a small version of it in his apartment.

Bendy was Joeys whole world, and after Bendy Land failed completely, it's not so hard to tell what he would do with magic ink and a massive printer. He wanted Bendy to live.

So he did and probably created the Ink Demon in the process.

We have several notes and audio logs, where people stated that they see 'something lurk in the shadows', they hear growling noises, and the whole studio was permanently flooded with ink.

So, the Ink Demon was, in fact, in the real world, and Joey gave a damn about that.

Everything's fine, he has everything under control... as usual.

Now comes the tricky part.

It seems that Joey came to the conclusion that "real toons" need a soul, as we know that the Ink Demon is soulless.

In 'Dreams Come to Live', the Ink Demon teared Buddy apart, which led to his dead.

It's not described how the process exactly worked, but he somehow managed to transfer buddy's soul into a perfect Boris.

And, oh boy, was he proud of archiving HIS dream. His dream came to life. An Illusion, his Illusion, came finally to life. No sign of remorse, so sign of reflecting how his actions put everyone in mortal danger and destroyed the lives of everyone he worked with.

So we can assume that all toons in the loop are possessing a soul that was printed in an artificial body and that their real bodies are dead. As a lost one (and Sammy), you seemingly don't have to be dead. The ink is turning and twisting their bodies into the ink world, making them a part of it.

But they are souls nonetheless who suffer from memory loss. Sammy is the best example for that.

I think we all can agree at this point that Joey Drew and Joseph Drew are two entirely different personas.

In my opinion, Joseph played a role in achieving his dreams. To be in a position where he can do whatever he wants to do.

The reason I believe that, is that one audio log from Joey we can find in BATIM, chapter 4, on the first floor of the maintenance area.

It says:

"I believe there's something special in all of us. With true inner strength, you can conquer even your biggest challenges. You just have to believe in yourself and remain honest, motivated, and above all, who you really are.

Ok, let's stop it right there. I can only do so many takes of this trash a day. And tell the guys in writing I want more use of the word dreaming in every message. Keep railing on that, get it? Dreaming! Dreaming! Dreaming! People just eat up that kind of slop. Hmm, what? It's still on? Well, turn it off, damn it!"

In the second part his voice changed completely, he's clearly annoyed by all the bullsh*t he's talking, to keep up the appearance of the honest, friendly and hopeful Joey Drew, who always wants the best for everyone and encouraged people to make there dreams come true.

The Joey Drew all people knew and love.

And said that, I want to talk about BATDR.

We surprisingly met Joey Drew as Audrey, and he was exactly like he described himself in 'The Illusion of Living'. He tried to help Audrey, and explained the situation as good as he could. The good old pal Joey.

According to how he puts his words, he seems to suffer from memory loss too.. like the rest of the souls in the loop.

Does this mean that, despite his claim to just be a memory, his soul is IN the Ink world?

This version of him seems very sincere to me.

Or is there another reason for his state of mind?

But how would this even work?

According to our knowledge, Joeys Book of the Illusion of Living is a key to change things in the Ink world, so... did he drew (haha, drew) himself into his world before he died?

Did Joseph drew his version of Joey into the world he created?

Did he alter the memories of his ink-self, so he can't remember that he's just a role Joseph played?

But why? To help Henry? Did he suddenly feel remorse about his decision to trap his former partner in an endless loop, filled with despair and hopelessness?

Out of spite because he felt betrayed by Henry?

Like he said to Audrey, all of this is just an illusion, and nothing of it is real.

Henry is perfectly fine and lives his life in peace.

I don't think so. The whole story he's telling Audrey is so strange to me.

Nothing of it makes really sense. But I think that Ink-Joey THINKS that he's telling the truth.

That he suddenly had a change of heart that he sent Allison in the form of Alice Angel to help Henry.

And we know that you need a soul and a dead person to create a toon. Allison may not be perfect like Buddy-Boris, but I think it's the same procedure.

If this is true, he had to kill Allison and print her soul into the body of Alice.

And even IF he wanted to help Henry. Why did Joeys Ink-self never make himself known to Henry? So many questions.

Same with the part of 'I wanted to have a family'.

Neither Joey nor Joseph ever mentioned the need to have a family or to be a father.

I believe that Joseph printed Audrey, but not out of love. More likely is that he did it out of curiosity.. how far can he go to prove that all life can be an illusion?

And maybe Audrey was not the first 'experiment', I think Heidi and Porter are failed ones... not human enough to live in the real world, so he banished them into the ink world.

But I digress, back to the point.

So, how did Joey get into the loop, and what is his purpose?

Haha~ 'purpose' is the key word I waited for.

And now, buckle up. It's going to get a bit wild.

I think that Wilson is the one who put Joey in there.

Why do I think that? Well~

It's odd that Joey knows that he's dead in the real world, especially with an exact date.

And as far as we know.. time doesn't really exist down there.

Wilson is the only one who can transfer his mind into an inkbody he created of himself.

So he knows what's happening in the real world, and he can provide time within the circle.

We also know that Wilson is in possession of the Illusion of Living, so he can manipulate certain events down there, but unfortunately for him, he can't control everything.. the Ink Demon doesn't let him take control over his domain.

Plus, the ink-version of Joey matches exactly the Joey from the book.

Furthermore, Wilson is the son of Nathan Arch... Joeys good old friend, who let him sink further into his demise on purpose.

It's also odd that you can find a memory of Wilson inside Joeys memory of the studio.

And to round those 'coincidences' up.. did you realise that the drawing of Henry in Joeys' story wears exactly the same outfit he's wearing in the loop? Very strange indeed.

So why did Wilson create a version of Joey in the first place?

Simply to create a sort of trust towards Audrey. She's the ace in his sleeve to get rid of the Ink Demon for good, to control the whole world.

Joeys words were the reason why she gave Wilson a chance. To let her think that the Ink Demon is the only reason why everything down there is so miserable.

And still, there are so many questions remaining. I'm SO excited to get more information about the whole universe and can't wait for the new books.

I would also love to hear your opinion on the whole thing. Maybe I missed something?

Anyway, thanks for staying with me until the very end.
