Day 1 of the 30-day yoga challenge by Charlie Follows. This was a hips & hamstrings flow that I found challenging in places. Archer's Lunge is not my friend! Plus my legs are STILL sore, so my Warrior 3 was very wobbly and had my hamstrings cramping up (it's normally pretty solid). Probably didn't helpt that I did an hour of dance right before. Peak pose was standing split, which I think I did okay at. Not quite 180 degrees, but fairly close. It's one to work on.
Food intake so far as been uhhh not good. It's the weekend and I needed to get ingredients from the supermarket in order to cook something healthy. But being at the supermarket while hungry just made me buy lots of naughty treats, and I have no self-control so I ate them all for lunch. Still, I have the ingredients I need for pumpkin soup now, so I'll make that tonight and have leftovers for the rest of the week.

"I'll just write in bed," is the Devil talking and I know it but that never stops me from taking my laptop to bed, fully intending to do work, then being surprised when my brain starts suggesting we take a little nap.
#in my defense#my hormones are *wrecking* my hEDS right now#the pressure from sitting on my subluxating tailbone is agony#so bendy bitches just have to make do#it's me#I'm bendy bitches

26.03.24 - I couldn't do any yoga while in Utsunomiya because the hotel room was so small (I kinda did some sun salutations, but it wasn't a particularly enjoyable experience), so today and tomorrow I'll be playing catch up on the 30-day challenge. Today I did day 22 and 23, the former of which involved bird of paradise. Excuse my serious face 🤣 I wish I could get this as a proper split, but my hips just don't go that way. I've learned to be okay with that now and just focus on enjoying the pose.

Was thinking about this all day yesterday but hcs on some IM characters and what their modern music tastes would be and why I think that
Gonna start with Fanny who I think would like rap and hiphop, pop is fun and all and I do think she'd be into pop culture but considering the history of rap and how it usually gathers the attention from people with unfortunate backgrounds [abuse, oppression, ect.] combined with her personality I wanna say she'd like rap
Holly took me a solid minute before I decided she would like indie music, specifically experimental indie, but she's definitely one of those "knows a little bit of everything" music people but also can pull up the most obscure song playlist known to mankind
Cuphead is SO easy, rock, grunge, punk, the alt genre you know what I'm talking about. I feel like he'd have a lean towards indie creators as well. Partly because we all know him as the edgelord he is but also because of that one time Cup was grumbling at the Gala about rich people. I did debate on him also listening to rap but I decided he wouldn't, I feel like the [usual] lyrical choices of rap would bug him and the morals he maintains. I also believe that he'd hate pop due to how corrupt Hollywood is.
Boris was the other one I was struggling with but then my coworker who was playing music started playing country and it hit me like a rock. So I feel like country would be the one he'd lean into, but ultimately considering his age he'd just listen to what everyone else is playing on repeat while he explores what he likes
I went back and forth with Bendy because so badly I wanted it to not be that answer [because otherwise I was just imagining him breakdancing which is so cursed to me] but Bendy would like pop. It's catchy, easy to dance to and also more then likely played all over the place which considering Bendy and Boris grew up on the streets, would most likely be the first genres they're introduced to. However I imagine he usually isn't too picky about his music, as long as he can move to it. I feel like later on he ends up listening to more alternative and indie with Cup and Holly's influences but moreso as a "just to listen to" kinda thing. He also knows a LOT of different types of dance styles and can basically dance to any song. It's just pop is his go to.
#orb ponders#the inky mystery#Haven't decided what Felix Alice or Mugs would listen to yet#I though R&B for Mugs and then maybe pop for Alice? But I don't know I'd have to think harder on it#Absolutely no idea for Felix going to be honest I have so little clue for him I forgot he existed#Bonus: Demi is a metalhead and also a rock fan I refuse to believe otherwise#I know it deep down in my soul#Cup feels like a guy who'd complain that all of rap is talking about “getting bitches” and “shooting people”#I don't think that but I could see Cup having that complaint#Or he'd get too mentally ill from some of the songs reminding him of his trauma#Also this is not what I associate with these characters#I associate Bendy with electroswing and Holly with folk

Sammy Lawrence character analysis
I had a small epiphany recently about Sammy’s character which just recontextualized his entire character for me and I really wanted to write it down so here’s a mini essay about our beloved musician and prophet :)
I think one of the biggest questions people often have about Sammy as a character is why he never left JDS despite the fact he seemed quite aware of how horrible it was for his mental health and that he had the talent to get a better job. My answer to this is also the main basis of this entire analysis: Sammy is a person who would rather be treated horribly then be useless.
There are many examples of this throughout the entire series. To make things easier, I’ll be going through his character in a mostly chronological order.
Before being hired
To repeat what I said earlier, people find it quite strange that Sammy didn’t leave considering his level of talent and artistic genius. But I think it’s important that we flip this around. If Sammy has so much talent, how come before being hired by Joey he was taking on jobs that he clearly didn’t really want to be doing? To quote one of his scenes at the party:
‘ The man at the piano shook his head. He seemed annoyed.(…) Sammy was not a fan of attention and definitely didn’t like putting on a show like this’
So it’s obvious that performing to audiences isn’t how Sammy wanted to be using his talent. But judging by the amount of praise Joey heaps onto him, he could’ve gotten any job he wanted right?
This is where I’m going to start heading into headcannon territory, because we don’t really know much about Sammy before working with Jack apart from the fact he once worked for the cinema.
I think it’s highly possible that Sammy suffers from the case of being really gifted , but still not good enough. He’s definitely talented, he knows this himself. But for whatever reason he was never good enough to be hired to compose for movies or anything else he seemed he’d rather be doing. Perhaps this was because of his personality putting people off? He’s quite a straightforward guy, I wouldn’t be surprised if his employers didn’t appreciate his unsolicited criticism of their works ( in other words, they can’t handle his autistic swag lmao). In fact, going off of how suspicious and distrusting he is of Joey, Its possible that he’d been tricked or scammed by his past employers. Whatever the reason, it lead to him having to settle for less and not pursue his passion the way he truly wanted to.
This is why I think he’s surprisingly so easily hired by Joey. Sammy continuously acts like he’s disinterested in Joeys offer, even though we know he’s going to be working at this place for the next 16 years of his life. I believe this is because Sammy knows JDS needs him, he is too talented for this place which makes him important. Which means he’s useful and won’t be thrown away. This makes sense when you consider the state the music department is in when Sammy demands to see it.
‘ I opened the door to the small music room. An upright piano and music stand were tightly packed inside, barley able to fit in the space. (…) This definitely did not look impressive.’
The fact that Sammy immediately begins demanding things after seeing it says a lot too. It’s as if he’s immediately pushing to see what Joey will allow, to see how badly he needs him. The more desperate Joey is to hire him, the more safe and secure this job will be for him.
And so he takes as much control as possible, demanding complete creative control over his area. The more he’s responsible for, the more he’s proving himself useful. Even if this will lead to him having waaaay too much work for one person to handle.
Working at JDS
Sammy’s 1935 tape shows us just how much he’s willing to put up with as long as it means he’s useful. He’s completely aware of how overworked he is, but ignores this in favour of ‘ keeping the little devil happy’ which most likely refers to Joey. Despite how much he complains, I think he prides himself on being able to get so much work done in such little time. Perhaps he even sees being overworked as proof that the studio just needs him that much? That he’s that significant to the success of the cartoons? Joey probably also used this tactic to manipulate Sammy, to convince him that he’s only giving him so much work because he trusts and believes in him so much.
I think Joey also figured this out from the way he talks about Sammy in Tiol. In fact it’s as if he’s actively mocking him.
‘ I wouldn’t say I was lucky to get him as part of my team, nor that I’m lucky he’s stayed with me all these years.’
‘I can’t make anyone do anything, even as a boss.’
‘ I’d never trade Sammy Lawrence for anything.’
= ‘ oh yeah he’s really talented and could totally have another job if he wanted but I actually need him and would never throw him away! He totally has the will to leave if he wants to but he stays because he knows he’s wanted here :)’
Jack’s 1943 tape does seem to confirm that the studio needs Sammy. By 1943, bendy wasn’t very relevant. Most people hadn’t really heard about the cartoons. And yet Sammy and Jack were still winning awards for their songs. In Sammy’s mind this probably solidified that the studio needs him. He doesn’t care that Joey took the credit because that’s not what matters to him. Better to know your doing good at your job then to risk upsetting your employer.
It seems he prides himself on being able to take on so much work too. In the employee handbook there’s a newspaper article on how Joey mistreats his employees and here’s what Sammy has to say about it:
‘Some people can’t take it and that’s fine’- he’s highlighting the fact that he is someone who can take it and therefore is useful to the studio. He even seems to be projecting, calling those who drop out ‘ useless’.
I think ‘ love requires sacrifice’ isn’t actually something Sammy made up to appease bendy, it’s something he lived by for most of his life. He’ll sacrifice his entire mental health if it means he’ll be loved in return. Of course, this would later take on a more darker and literal meaning.
In fact, I think there’s another factor that contributed to Sammy not being able to leave. @threadedsafteypin wrote this analysis on how Sammy may have struggled with imposter syndrome:
https://www.tumblr.com/threadedsafetypin/668068661627600896/sammy-lawrence-having-imposter-syndrome-its-more
So this gives him another reason as to why he can’t leave. If he’s working at JDs because it enables him to feel wanted and useful, then quitting because he’s struggling would be literally admitting that there’s an area in music he struggles with. In his mind he’d be proving his insecurities right, that he’s not as amazing and talented as the world thinks he is.
But Sammy had people who cared about him that would’ve been able to prove to him he’s worth more then what he can do for others right? Probably, but I think he failed to see that because of how important it is for him to feel wanted.
Let’s look at his partnership with Jack. I do believe that they truly trusted each other and remained friends during their time at JDS. However, it wouldn’t surprise me if Sammy deliberately distanced himself from Jack. Sure, Jack is one of the few people Sammy seems to actually like, but would he leave Sammy for someone better if he realised how much Sammy was faking it? I doubt it. But Sammy’s fatal flaw is his lack of trust in other people, he’s so paranoid of being worthless in the eyes of other people that he’d rather isolate himself then risk losing them. Especially someone like Jack who is directly linked to him through his talent in music.
Tragically, I think his fallout with Susie would have confirmed this paranoia for him. From his perspective, Susie doesn’t like him anymore because she no longer works for him. He isn’t her boss, isn’t there to direct her anymore and is therefore useless to her. Of course, we know this isn’t the full story. Joey intentionally orchestrated Susie’s firing so that she’d think it was Sammy’s fault. It isn’t that she stopped caring about him because she didn’t need him anymore, it’s because she thought he’d abandoned her. This outcome is very beneficial for Joey, it’ll make Sammy more desperate to seek validation from working for Joey rather then his relationships with other people. So he’ll be more reliant on Joey, no matter how much work is shoved onto him. The moment someone doesn’t need him they’ll cut ties with him, so it’s best to stay with someone who obviously needs him.
Serving the ink demon
Sammy’s devotion to bendy is the best example of how far he’s willing to go to be useful to someone. I think when Sammy accidentally drinks ink for the first time he was actually in a very desperate position. In his letter to Joey at the start of Batdr he seems uncharacteristically worried.
Considering what we’ve established, it makes sense that he’d try to help the studio not shut down. If it does, not only will he lose the place he feels secure in, but it will also show that he wasn’t good enough to keep bendy successful ( this isn’t actually the case, we know it’s all Joeys fault for his spending habits, but I think this is how Sammy would see things).
Furthermore, by the time he gets infected Susie would have been fired for a while and Jack seems very absent in DCTL ( probably because he was murdered by Joey off screen) so Sammy would be lacking what little support system he actually had. Suffice to say, he would not have been doing mentally well.
Sammy knows this company is going down hill, it’s inevitable that it’ll go bankrupt at this point. He’s losing his purpose. Enter the ink demon. A terrifying and powerful being who promises to give him a new use. Sammy says it himself in Dctl:
‘It wanted me. He wanted me.’
‘The more I felt him. Heard him. I need to please him.’
He was so desperate to not be cast aside that he was literally willing to sacrifice his coworkers in order to be of use to someone.
And then he gets sent into the ink realm at some point and the ink demon presumably stops talking to him. He’s lost his purpose but doesn’t even have the option to leave anymore. So no wonder he deludes himself Into thinking bendy will set him free. He basically has no choice, if he faces the reality of his hopeless situation will he even be able to keep going?
He convinces himself that it’s all just a test, he hasn’t been abandoned, bendy does everything for a reason. He just needs to get him to notice him again through sacrifice to remind bendy of how useful he can be.
Bendy killing Sammy was a massive reality check for him. It sends him into a complete spiral as he’s forced to confront the truth that he’s been thrown away yet again. But he still can’t fathom why he’d been ‘ left to rot’. After all, he’d kept on sacrificing people like bendy originally wanted hadn’t he? He’d remained faithful even after being ignored for years, spent years praising bendy’s name despite all possible logic pointing against it!
He has nothing. He’s worth nothing. All the suffering he endured was for nothing. We can clearly see that Sammy despises being useless more then anything else. If bendy had kept on talking to him, even if it was all lies, he would have probably have been happier then facing the truth.
Having no purpose
He may have a stupidly small amount of screen time in batdr, but I think his jail scene still tells us a lot.
I’d go as far to argue that the Sammy we see in prison is probably his lowest point in the series that we’ve ever seen.
I mean just look at him. He doesn’t even turn to look at Audrey when she enters. He’s been told that his lord is dead, that he’s a false prophet, that nothing he’s done has mattered because no one is coming to free him. If this is how Sammy acts when he feels worthless it’s no wonder that he lied to himself about bendy being his lord. He’s completely dejected of all hope.
To add to this feeling of uselessness, it doesn’t even seem like he knows how to play anymore. It sounds like he’s trying to play hellfire follis but miserably failing. Not only does he fail as a prophet, but he can’t even be a musician- the last part of his identity he could even latch onto at this point.
And honestly, as happy as an ending as Batdr seems for most of the cast, I don’t think this’ll be the same for Sammy. After all, his lord has completely left the ink realm. He has no one to serve anymore. He’ll lose all his purpose, and everyone around him tells him this is supposed to be for the better? He’s supposed to be content with remaining an ink man for the foreseeable future just because there’s no other option?
I think Sammy actually has the potential to be a villain in the next game ( assuming we get one judging from that scene at the end). Maybe someone from gent, like Alan Grey, will somehow get in contact with him and promise to give him a use again. All he has to do is go against the residents of the ink realm in order to serve him. And if Sammy’s desperate enough, I wouldn’t be surprised if he accepted.
I really do hope we see more of Sammy. I don’t think the meatly is a particularly good writer so I’m not expecting some amazing character ark but tbh I’ll take any crumbs at this point. As long as they don’t make him forgive Joeys bs ‘redemption’ ark I don’t think they can mess up his character too badly. But I’ll guess we’ll have to see when the next bendy game comes out in five years.
#sammy lawrence#bendy and the dark revival#batim#batdr#joey drew#character analysis#wow I wrote so much for a character with such little screen time#what being hyperfixated on a character for months will do to a bitch#in conclusion please give Sammy more screen time bc he has so much potential as a character :)

Since you've already discussed how OJV Style came to be, how did OJV Bendy come to be?
OOO! honestly? Pretty similarly. Best friends do it better, after all ;)
I feel like Bebe was the one to confess first, like she and Wends were hanging out and she just made that move. And timing wise, it was mid sophomore year, a lil after AFITS takes place. They’ve been super close for years, both Wendy and Bebe are super good friends with Stan and Kyle, bond stronger than ever after stendy break up for good, like Wendy is definitely dealing with comp het for a long time while knowing she doesn’t like men, and that last breakup was the final because that’s ALSO when Stan confided in her that he was down horrendous for his sbf. And coincidentally, she was in the same boat.
Stan absolutely kept urging Wendy to just TELL Bebe, see what happens after, but Wendy was absolutely overthinking it, and the Bendy Moment was LITERALLY at a basketball game, at finals, the girls just finished a cheer and went off the court, Bebe planted a lil kiss on her best friend’s cheek and went “hey u wanna be gfs” lmao Wendy was FLUSTERED and of course Stan WITNESSED THIS in the mascot suit and his hopeless romantic ass was SO EXCITED like my boy fr ran up to hug both of them “hop off my girlfriend, Marsh” “you’re BOTH getting smothered oh my GOD!!! Fuck Kyle’s gonna be so mad he missed this!” Whilst wearing the Stank Ass Cow Suit and BRUH WHEN I SAY KYLE WAS BIG MAD bc he didn’t see the first little Bendy Kiss in person. Poor Ky was still out after fucking up his knee and found it too frustrating to go to games if he couldn’t play, and Stan went to his house after and went “YOU WILL NEVER FUCKING GUESS DUDE HOLY SHIT” and Kyle, who secretly gets into gossip, like excited as hell and jumping up bc hot gossip (he got yelled at by his mother for walking without his crutches and was rather annoyed that Stan was on her side) was BIG MAD that he missed it like “Oh Barbie better call me asap I have been TELLING HER to just tell Wendy she likes her! I fucking MISSED IT?!?” “Dude, dude, all I saw was a cheek kiss and then I got sappy and hugged them and Bebe called Wends her girlfriend and-“ “-WHAT?!?” Bro is so pissed he didn’t see that.
Meanwhile Wendy and Bebe after the game, still in their cheer uniforms, have gone to the local sonic for milkshakes and both are TREMBLING bc holy shit they like each other lmfao like they’re in one of the drive in spots, lit softly by the colorful lights and menus, in Wendy’s car, holding hands and blushing bc this is NEW to them and THEN Bebe sees her phone light up in her purse “damnit it’s Kyle” and then Wendy’s laughing so hard hearing the call like “DUDE you didn’t TELL ME YOU LIKED HER BACK! Stan knew Wendy liked you this could’ve been so much easier and I DIDNT EVEN SEE YOU GUYS TONIGHT?” “A girls gotta have some secrets” lmao and she hangs up and Wendy’s smiling like “so, girlfriends, for real?” “Wanna make up for lost time?” Lol kissing in the car under the neon lights like a movie
Bendy Supremacy
