So, new character bio for Wilson, huh?

Now this is interesting in SO many ways (and im sure dreamfisher-nux is also furiously typing up a post rn with even more than i got lmao)

Custodian of the ink? Who put this guy in charge, Nathan? Custodian means he's taking care of it for someone else

In both worlds. Wilson can move freely between the real world and the studio, somehow. And more than just that, I'm strongly suspecting it's not as simple as him having a magic door like the one in Joey's kitchen to walk through, because

We got a poster, instead of his in-game model.

Why does that matter? Because every character bio until now has been said character as they appear in the studio. Wilson however? We've only seen him in the real world, in the trailer. These posters are the only glimpse of his face seen inside the studio.

Something's mega sus about this old man and how he appears in the studio, I'm calling it now.

Now for those three bullet points...

Who the hell are his enemies? Sounds awfully specific to just be referring to some ink monsters that are too mindless to listen to him...

Oh hell yeah riddles-

Excited nerding aside, I think I'll go give that trailer and also the Unknown's audiolog (which we all know now is Wilson) another listen, make sure we haven't missed anything 👀

Big Brother much?

Ok but seriously, I didn't realize this until @dreamfisher-nux pointed it out to us on discord...

Sure sounds familiar.

BATDR Speculation: Who is Bendy?

So the internet is currently freaking out over little Baby Benders (rightfully so, he’s ADORABLE), and we all have a lot of questions about him. Is he as cute and innocent as he seems? Is he going to betray us? Is he the lighter half of an ink demon split into pieces? Does he have a soul? If so, is it someone we know? I have a lot of thoughts on this, and none of them are concrete, but today I want to talk about one of my favorite musings so far: How Joey and Henry might be involved in this. I wanna talk about The Illusion of Living.

https://twitter.com/LaurenSynger/status/1587778374038069249?s=20&t=b-DLbISPVNI584xRm5ALAg

Warning: if you haven’t read the Illusion of Living by Adrienne Kress, HIGHLY recommend it, as there are spoilers ahead. This book is delightful, and it’s not what I expected. When I picked it up, I thought we were getting a narrative about Joey’s life, and we did to an extent. But the real treasure of this book is that it’s a character study of Joey Drew. It gives us so much to think about in terms of who he is as a person. Because he’s Joey, you’d expect him to bend the truth (pun absolutely intended), and there are moments where it feels like some details aren’t entirely true. But there are some scenes that are written in such a way that feel all too earnest, and one of them is the scene in Joey’s apartment: the birth of Bendy.

The way Joey tells it, he’s the one who had the concept for Bendy, then his friend Abby Lambert attempted to draw it, but nothing was looking right. Abby brought Henry on board to help without consulting Joey first. Then they all sat on the floor of Joey’s apartment while Henry sketched out what would become the signature Bendy design (with critiques from Joey along the way). It’s made out to be this magical moment, and it’s believable. What reason would Joey have to lie about this? He may have a lot of feelings about Henry, mostly negative from what we’ve seen in DCTL, but he gave Henry credit here. He didn’t downplay Henry’s importance in all of this, which surprised me, and I like that a lot.

Joey comes off as being so deeply in love with his creation that it doesn’t matter who did what, the fact remains that Bendy is still his in the ways that count the most. He was made with love, dreams, and wonder at his core, Joey’s ideas and writing, Henry’s artistic execution. He belongs to both of them. I get the sense that a lot of people are going to jump into debating whether this little Bendy is somehow made using Henry’s soul or Joey’s. But I’d like to propose this: what if he’s made with both? His creation isn’t credited to a single person, but two, and who better to give Bendy a soul than both of his creators, two halves of a whole?

It gives another layer to why Joey would send Henry into the studio in the first place. Like why Henry? Henry’s just a guy who supposedly worked with Joey as an animator and business partner for one year before vanishing forever, why send him in? Is he a last resort where others failed (maybe Tom was sent in first and couldn’t fix things), or is it because he’s so integral to Bendy’s creation? Surely he has something grand to offer in that regard, by Joey’s logic. Send Henry in, sure, if anyone can stop this twisted version of Bendy, it’s his creator, right? No, this story isn’t one that you can solve by making Henry the protagonist, it’s one that needs both of them. It’s a story that needs Joey to acknowledge a lot of things in order for it to change. That could be why it’s a loop, the story can’t end without Joey playing his part, but he’s too busy blaming everyone else for the trouble he’s caused, not taking responsibility for his actions.

One of the theories I’ve seen that I really love from the first game came from @dreamfisher-nux​ which I’ll link here: https://www.tumblr.com/dreamfisher-nux/184575733862/that-child-at-the-end-might-not-have-been-human?source=share The idea that the child we hear say “tell me another one Uncle Joey” might not be human based on the milk carton texture’s inky handprints gives me a lot to think on. I have to wonder if that child might have been his last attempt to make Bendy. Yes, I know, five fingers is too many, but that’s exactly why I say “attempt,” not success. I mean he has the studio full of his previous employees, souls he’s claimed he owns, and now Henry is in there too. Is it possible this was all a plan to get Henry’s soul to make into his creation? I’ll admit, while I was around for the emergence of the “Henry is a perfect Bendy” theory, I’m not 100% sold on it for canon (though I do love it in fandom works), but an imperfect Bendy, or something close to Allison or Twisted Alice in nature? That I would buy. Henry alone may not be enough to give Joey what he wants. So what if, before the end of his lifetime, Joey gave himself up? Bendy is in part his creation, a part of him, just as Alice is a part of Susie, there is something they give to that character that no one else has. And much like Susie, Joey would do anything for the character he loves. He went to great lengths to try and see it through, sacrificed so much (much of which was never his to sacrifice).

When I first heard Joey’s tape about cheating death itself, I assumed his goal was immortality for the longest time. But TIOL has me thinking that that’s only half the story. You’re never dead if your legacy is still alive, and Bendy is Joey’s legacy. Making Bendy real and innovating beyond what any artist or engineer has done before is at the core of what he wants, to make dreams into reality. And if he’s gone, but Bendy is here and real and perfect? I think, that’s a sacrifice Joey would be willing to make, his dream would be achieved and that’s what matters. Throw on the machine machine one more time, take the child, his child, that was so close and take one more chance, add his piece to the puzzle, his soul to the mix. Become part of your creation. It’s an act of love, “but love requires sacrifice.”

Joey is believed to be dead in 1972, and this is where Arch Gate comes in. They have control of the Bendy brand, they own the rights and assets to it. Nathan was someone that was believed to be Joey’s friend, even though he’s done things a friend wouldn’t do. What does Nathan Arch know of Joey’s marvelous machine, of his dreams? While I don’t know if I buy Nathan as a benevolent character given what he’s said in the books, I do believe he would carry out some of Joey’s final wishes, though maybe not exactly the way Joey would want him to. And handing Bendy over to him, his most precious creation, to be taken care of? Well, that would be an interesting thing, wouldn’t it? You don’t leave your child in the hands of just anyone. It’s as Tom says in TLO, you don’t give up on a miracle.

Or course, take this all with a grain of salt. I think this would be an intriguing story to follow, but that doesn’t necessarily mean I expect it to be canon. Canon or not though, it’s an interesting thought, isn’t it?

Pt. 4/3, I guess, rofl:

Both of these actually fit my theories scarily well. 😅😬 “Custodian” doesn't always mean “janitor;” in fact, the first definition that Google gives you is:

…Wilson is “custodian of the ink?” I think that fits this definition much better… And, like @dreamfisher-nux pointed out, “he's always watching…”

More evidence he seems to have been meddling in ink dimension affairs for a while…? Does all this mean I'm right that he's not the real villain in BATDR, like I suspect Joey was not the real villain in… well, any of the previous series entries? That he's not even the “new evil” mentioned in Audrey's character bio? Could he be more benevolent than he seems, having taken over from The Great Puppet Master when he finally keeled over? Could he be involved in the revelation of the secrets I suspect? 👀

As for Dapper Bendy… I really don't trust that “he stays out of sight. Spotting Bendy, much less catching him, is quite an endeavor” comment, considering what I suspect Nathan of… There are reasons I described him as seeming to have been “behind the curtain the whole dang time” in my thought summaries… 🚨🚩

While I'm still talking about character bios:

I dunno how much I believe it, but I saw several people on Twitter seemed to be convinced that this guy might be Brant (the reporter-in-training) from TLO. And, I mean, just to hypothetically add to all the poetics… what if they're right, and the combination of “get the truth out” (because reporter) and “guilt overtook Joey at the end of his life” symbolism I already suspected of Brant has something to do with these mysterious powers he might pass on to Audrey…? 🤔
