I've been mulling over the Labyrinth arc specifically the questers decision to allow Boris to come, with it being brought up again with Felix trying to adopt Boris. Little disclaimer I have not reread the Labyrinth arc so I will probably miss out on a couple details here.

A question that I really been trying to wrack my brain around is "what could they have done for Boris". I remember when the labyrinth arc was happening I was so mad at the questers for the way that they were treating Boris. Especially as a teenager myself (14-15 at the time so literally the same age as Boris). But now that I think about it I really do want to know what the questers could have done because I feel like no matter that choice Boris would have gone anyway.

At this point Boris had recently run away when he was told that he could not be apart of saving his brother, right. So he has already demonstrated that he can and will put himself and others in danger to be with Bendy. I know some people said that he should have stayed back with the circus crew and I believe the circus crew would have definitely tried their best but ultimately we have to remember that he's a street kid, he knows how to get around adults, I don't think that they could have truly stopped him from going if he wanted to. Again he has already demonstrated that he will pick bendy over everyone else no matter how close you are to him. To Boris it's truly always been him and Bendy against the world, he's already burnt bridges with the relationships he built up. He now has a rocky relationship with the adult figures that he trusted, he thinks they should despise him.

Now I want to make clear that I am absolutely not excusing the clear adultification that a lot of the characters do to Boris specifically in this arc. It still really pisses me off, he is an emotional 14 year old boy of course he did the terrible things that he did, his frontal lobe isn't developed he can't think his actions through as well as the adults around him can. Specifically looking at you Michael Bradley I know your traumatised but wtf that is a child. Kinda excluding Cuphead though, he was a real one with how he acted with this.

Coming back to Felix here. I think Felix should have really honed in on the decision that they made by bringing Boris along. Felix should have sat Boris down and really had a talk to him with how dangerous it was going to be. Obviously we know that the questers did not expect how truly dangerous it would be but Felix has already done extremely dangerous stuff before so I think he definitely could have better prepared Boris for what they were going into. With what I mentioned in the paragraph above though I think I can really see why Felix made the decision he did. He already told Boris no and it ended with him being severely hurt emotionally and being cursed physically. And we can see in Felix' POV how deeply that scared Felix. Although I really do wish that he sat Boris down and truly told him how he felt about Boris running away and how he only wants to protect Boris. Really try to make him see how much he cares for him and try and build up that trust again.

Honestly so much of this stuff that happens really they could have been resolved if these idiots would just talk to each other, the miscommunication in this series istg :').

Ultimately I don't think that there was a "right" or "correct" choice that would have ended in Boris being safe from the record. There were definitely things that characters could have handled a lot better but truly none of them could have been prepared for how messed up the Labyrinth really turned out to be. Also could the questers have even gotten the record without Boris? I feel like Boris was needed for the record I truly don't know how they would have gotten the record otherwise with how hard it was for Boris to get it.

I really wish I wrote down my opinions and feelings at the time to how I feel about the arc now that I'm an adult, because of how close in age to Boris I was so I could truly relate to some of the feelings he was feeling with the adults around them. And now as an adult I can see more why the adults around him made the decisions they made.

Is bendy in this AU? If so what does he look like?

Of course he's here!

[falsetraditions]

Oh, my God, I just finished reading the last chapter and I don't know how I feel about it.

I couldn't help but draw something about this chapter!

Well, because Bill is here!! I like this triangle. And I kind of hate him at the same time. I hope Bendy will be smart enough not to fall for his games.

Okay so I already posted this in the comment section of inky mystery but I wanted to post this here on Tumblr cause I haven't seen this talked about on here.

[spoilers for chapter 349]

Ugghh, this chapter was so frustrating. I've been sitting on it for awhile and reading some rants that are have been sympathetic to both Felix and Canola's POV and I can really see both sides of their arguments. They are both right and wrong. Obviously we know that Canola does not have the full context but I also wanted to point out the chapter title for my point as to why both Felix and Canola are both right and wrong. The chapter title is "Imperfect Parents" implying there is multiple parents. What I haven't seen brought up is how Canola is as a parent because she drove her own daughter away due to her protectiveness and not really being there emotionally for Holly. So while Canola is right about a couple things, that being Felix' zaniness and fear of putting his foot down for the boys' in case that's the breaking point of their trust. So I think we should think about that context when it comes to Canola's arguments.

From the context that we have from Holly, her mother really hurt her and I'd go as far as to say it's possibly an emotional neglect wound. But she was physically safe, had a roof over her head and food on the table and Canola seemed to prioritise that sense of safety over Holly's emotional needs. I think there is an interesting parallel between Felix and Canola's parenting styles here. Felix is so gentle in his parenting that I've seen people say that Cuphead and Holly feel more like fit older parental figures to the bbros then Felix. Canola is kind of the opposite, she provides all you need physically but she is emotionally distant.

Hopefully this doesn't feel like a bash on Canola's character, people have just had whole essays about Felix so I wanted to focus on Canola to bring something I haven't seen talked about to the inky mystery essay/rant table.

Wonderful chapter as always to Tap, Mercowe, Specs and everyone else on the inky mystery crew. I'm so excited to see how Felix handles these revelations and difficulties.
