Bendy: Secrets of the Machine Thoughts

Putting them under a spoiler cut for readability

So far, there is a lot of intrigue regarding GENT and their role, as well as the potential return of the Nightmare Run characters.

GENT's involvement so far as been more on the sidelines in the games. It's implied they have similar issues with the supernatural, and they are running experiments with the ink the Machine produces, the books also backing this up with the reappearance of Archie Carter. However, with the new character. Riley Wells, introduced, it creates a more interesting layer to this, in that it is implied that she was recruited by GENT shortly following her dismissal from JDS. Now, if she is a villain or a victim is up for debate. It could be that they hired her as a test subject similar to Archie Carter and her metamorphosis was just far more severe as a result of the traumatic experience in her childhood, or perhaps she provided the specs that ended up producing a real-life version of "Bloodwheel", the more monster-y version of Gaskette that even gets a whole song in Riley's flashback.

Riley's story is also interesting in that it provides a canon explanation for why the Nightmare Run toons are more monstrous, though it really only does so for Gaskette. She's never shown drawing any of the other bosses, just him. Which makes me wonder if maybe she was part of the character design for only him, and the others are all going to get their own stories later on in the game. I really do hope they go this route, mostly because it would be a nice callback to the no longer available Nightmare Run, and you could have some real fun with the bosses 'backstories', depending on how involved you want to be.

Can think of a few things immediately off the bat: Chester being another example of a childhood fear turned into a debilitating trauma, except involving someone who has thalassophobia strong enough to rival H.P. Lovecraft. Kind of paves the way for a lot of spooky imagery involving the ocean, ocean life, and ink.

Dewey at first seemed a little comical to think about in this context, after all, a fear of librarians seems extreme, though thinking more on it my thought is that he's the product of a different type of emotional stuckage. Instead of a fearful person, perhaps Dewey was created by a very angry person, someone who had a lot of trouble controlling their temper and would frequently blow up at seemingly minor issues. After all, Dewey's main character trait seems to be his temper, as we remember from his character card that he has a disproportionate reaction to Bendy knocking over some books. Granted, between the fact that the exact quantity of books is never mentioned, and a cartoon being a cartoon, it makes me wonder if Bendy might not have knocked over a few books, but more likely a few stacks or even whole shelves worth. I mean, what's funnier, a few books coming down or the library getting a spontaneous remodeling job thanks to a careless patron?

...It's probably not so fun for the librarian, but you get my point. So, potentially, we have someone who has a temper problem creating this character as a way to offset their issues. It might just be less helpful and creating a bit of a feedback loop, where they're constantly ruminating over their problems rather than addressing and moving on from them.

Canoodle was another one that eluded me a bit, though there are two potential driving forces that could have fueled his creation. On one front, junkyards aren't exactly friendly places sometimes, and it would be easy for some sort of accident to happen that could produce some sort of negative association, though there is also the fact that a sentient can being in a junkyard creates this almost weird mental image. You'd think that'd be a dangerous place for him, and this is somewhat proven true if you beat him in Nightmare Run, as he's promptly crushed and disposed of. So, perhaps a preoccupation with death, or a person who is constantly cheating bad or dangerous circumstances? It's something, and it could definitely be interesting played out if that's the direction they're planning on going with this.

There are also plenty of other fun moments and little easter eggs for fans, so either way, we do get something fun. I would honestly be over the moon if they did something for all of the Nightmare Run toons though. Gaskette is a good nod, and Riley's backstory intrigues me given the circumstances, and especially the apparent involvement with GENT. Kinda makes me wonder if they're, in a sense, keeping tabs on people who were associated with JDS, people who maybe would have some stronger ties to the art being produced there and potentially have a bigger reaction when the ink is used on them.

It's something to think about, for sure. If anything, I'll enjoy using these puzzle pieces in my own work.

Happy anniversary to one of my favorite niche games of all time, Bendy in Nightmare Run!

Honestly surprised it’s five years old at this point- and although it has been forgotten, I’m still very attached to these guys! And tbh it’s also a goal of mine to become “the BINR artist”

Happy anniversary once more to these rugged lads!

Bonus:

Recent upgrade

Going to start using Magma now cause... Well yes

Drawing on the right is of my AU Dewey from Junkyard Friends

Left is Dewey from @theamalgaverse (you'll be seeing more AV art in the coming months, as I too wish to keep the magic alive and find its hidden secrets by logic)

That's all for now!

QUOTE COMPILATION 2 ELECTRIC BOOGALOO⁉️

(GWEN'S MOTHER): We are gathered here today because someone- *glares at Gwen’s coffin* -couldn’t stay alive!

—

Canoodle: Where’s my chair?

Lilith: Chester broke it over Krawl’s back while they were wrestling.

Krawl: Correction, Chester was wrestling. I was eating soup.

—

Daisy: Is something burning?

Gwen, leaning seductively on the counter: Just my desire for you.

Daisy: Gwen, the toaster is literally on fire.

—

Gwen: *holding a salt packet* It’s just a little sodium chloride.

Dewey: Actually Gwen, it’s salt.

Gwen: That’s what I said, sodium chloride.

Dewey: Uh Gwen, that would be salt.

Dewey: *takes salt packer from Gwen* This is iodized table salt, which in addition to sodium chloride contains anti-caking agents and potassium iodate, which is added to prevent iodine deficiency. So not only are you being overly pretentious by insisting on using scientific terminology for everyday items, you are factually wrong. Your arrogance is your downfall, you annoying little shit.

Dewey, knocking on the door: Daisy, open up!

Daisy: It all started when I was a kid.

Dewey: That’s not what I-

Krawl: Let them finish!

Gwen: Look, Krawl! It's the good Kush!

Krawl: It's the dime store, how good can it be?

(GWEN'S MOTHER): Sorry I'm late, I was doing stuff.

Gwen: YOU PUSHED ME DOWN THE FUCKING STAIRS!

Dewey: COMPANY IS COMING! I WANT THIS PLACE LOOKING LIKE DISNEY ON ICE IN ONE MINUTE!

Dewey: Gwen IF YOU HAVEN'T MADE YOUR BED THROW IT AWAY IT'S TOO LATE TO MAKE IT NOW!

Dewey: GET RID OF THE COUCHES, WE CAN'T LET PEOPLE KNOW WE S I T !

—

Lilith, rushing into the room: It’s terrible, just terrible! I am so upset!

Dewey: Lilith, honey, sit down! Sweetheart, tell us all about it. Gwen, would you get Lilith some water?

Gwen: What are they gonna do with water? Has water ever made you feel better when you were upset? Have you ever heard anyone say, “Thank God, the water’s here!”?

WARNING: THERE ARE POST-AFTERMATH SPOILERS BEYOND THIS POINT OCCASIONALLY. ABANDON HOPE ALL YEE WHO ENTER

Krawl: Do you love me?

Stickle: We’re literally married.

Krawl: Yeah, but as friends or—

Dewey: The odds of this happening by coincidence are vanishingly small.

Stickle: I would say infinitesimally.

Gwen: And I'd say teenily-weenily. We all know words.

Gwen: I’m just remembering that my second year in America someone asked me to “Validate their Parking” which was the first time I heard that phrase and after blinking stupidly for a full five seconds I said “Well, parking is very hard but I’m sure you did really well.”

Gwen: Dear Diary, my young adult angst bullshit has a body count.

3, 12, and/or 17 for the Nightmare Run antagonists. I dunno who to actually specify because I love them all, so you can choose who it is lol-

You. I appreciate you! Thank you SO MUCH for sending this in! I am currently in the middle of a TON of theorizing about BINR and have been revisiting it, and now I have an excuse to share my Canoodle headcanon, it is a GOOD DAY!

3. Obscure headcanon

Canoodle the bacon soup can is alive because he's filled with radioactive material. In the Crack-Up Comics, we get Souper Boris, a story where Boris eats some radioactive bacon soup and gains superpowers from it. The end of the comic implies that there's more of that soup out there when Alice picks up a can of it at the grocer. I firmly believe that Canoodle was one a can of that soup that went past his expiration date, and when he ended up in the dump, he eventually became MASSIVE and claimed it as his turf. It's both his grave (it's referred to as a graveyard in the advertising for this game which is SUPER STRANGE) in that it's where he was sent to die and his home, and it's morbid and awful and AAHH I LOVE IT! (Also throughout the level he throws barrels of radioactive waste at us which is great.)

12. Crack headcanon

Dewey or Gaskette would work very well as a toon persona for Grant Cohen. No I will not be taking criticism. (For real though I've absolutely used Dewey as a stand-in for Grant before, shameless plug for the latest chapter of Searching the Depths if you haven't already read it.)

17. Quotes, songs, poems, etc. that I associate with them

Y'know I can't say I have any of these off the top of my head. So I'm gonna go to my playlist and hit shuffle until something hits me.

...which may not have been a great idea given most of my playlist is videogame music, ballet and musical soundtracks, and Bendy nerdcore. Heck. Actually wait, you know what? Almost Dead from Shadow the Hedgehog is a GREAT Canoodle song, it goes perfectly with the thing I mentioned earlier. Also, because Dewey is my favorite, I wanna see him secretly have a side that likes stuff like Whipped into Shape from Legally Blonde. That'd be fun.

Thank you for the ask!

I know this is late and I apologize for that..BUT DAMNIT IT STILL COUNTS-

I first posted this on Instagram, but I decided to post it here as well because I want this game's mini fandom to stay alive. (P.S.: this is actually my first time drawing Dewey outside of a low effort pfp doodle, so I'm sorry if it isn't the best..)

[dedf1shs-wife]

The binr bosses and minions and the weird things that they do.

Chester will cry at literally anything even remotely sad.

Gaskette does cat stuff.  He will do the loaf.  He will sploot.  He will even lick himself.  He is cat.

Canoodle talks to animals.  That doesn’t mean he understands them though.

Dewey will go 12 hours without eating and be fine.  Don’t try this at home kids

The minions will just disappear and then later reappear.  As long as they’re back within 3 to 5 business days its not a problem 

[inkis-cupcake]
