Thank you everyone for love on this small analysis haha

Originally I've decided to put it together bc i was bored but it became one of my posts that got the most notes 😭 /pos

Decided to refresh my knowledge of bendy protagonists personalities/quirks and i can say that i forget how distant canon Audrey is from fanon one sometimes

Here's relatively short list with Audrey character analysis+random tibbits (environmental/gameplay/voice lines)

(I'll appreciate if someone will interact+most of it is under the cut!)

1. Her workplace is an unorganized mess

On the right side: a couple of empty teacups, empty paper sheets, unopened envelope, books/notebooks, a toy ball and keys in the middle of the desk, storyboards that are UNRELATED to what she was working on;

On the left side: donut that she kept close to her elbow & storyboards while she was drawing + to-do list for a day

There's no WAY she'll be able to keep anything tidy. If you hc her and Bendy to have a familiar bond post game, she'll be as messy if not messier. Her home might be a wreck.

2. She easily distracts

- Audrey is working overtime and claims that she has "only eight hundred more frames to go" until the next deadline

But was she actually *actively* working?

She has unrelated items on her desk (listed above) and jumps on the first opportunity to get a coffee.

If she really did wanted to have a drink, she literally has a soda machine close to her office doors.

Some brands of soda do have caffeine in them, right? Getting a coffee looks more like an excuse for a walk.

Bonus point: if you'll stay in her office without getting up (for 15 minutes), she'll acknowledge that she has no time to waste and will return to work instead.

- "Well, the coffee's good and all. But this work's gotta get done"

Worth to acknowledge: this girl has "employee of the month" award and some kind of animation award (boris statue) in her office .

Does she stays overtime everyday to finish something? Or other Archgate employees are even worse at their jobs, somehow?

3. She uses dry sarcasm or makes jokes a lot

Honestly, it happens really often and should be brought up in fan content more imo.

Due to the images limit i can't put a lot of examples with screnshoots but I'll quote some of them.

- "i think you and i have very different definitions of alright" (toward Allison)

- "Looks like he's having a bad day" (about dead lost one with the gent pipe)

- "Ok! Yeah! And that totally makes sense" (reaction to an easter egg)

- "That's one leap of faith i definitely won't make" (about the pit in animation alley)

4. Audrey gets defensive when someone starts to talk over her or when she feels overwhelmed

Audrey either will deny what was said or will acknowledge it by being sarcastic

Prominent example of this is her reaction to Memory!Joey at the hotel:

- "Oh,now you knew my father. Well, newsflash! I didn't even knew my father...or my mother. Or anyone else in my family" (after Joey says that she has "adventurous spirit of her father")

- "What? Are you crazy?... Who do you think you are?" (after the reveal of her being created by the ink machine)

+ Similar behaviour can be seen in her short interaction with Twisted Alice (Susie).

Audrey prefers to keep conversation equal between both sides and when it fails to work, she'll either stay silent or will express frustration (which can be seen with her replying "no" to Twisted Alice and not saying anything afterwards)

5. She seems to trust Allison enough to be vulnerable around her

After leaving the spider lair, she'll try to reach to Allison through the speakers

- "Alice? Are... you there?... Alice!"

She'll acknowledge that she feels scared and after Allison won't sound reassuring enough, Audrey's hand will be visibly shaking.

Allison is the only character Audrey has opened to; you'll never see her being that vulnerable with anyone else

(She is honest with Henry but not on this level)

It makes me wish they had more interactions; Allison for sure was really important in early development of the game.

6. She's blunt

Through the game Audrey is a type of person who says whatever is on her mind without hiding her intentions too much.

She's emotional and rarely thinks twice (most of her decisions are impulsive or sometimes irrational) which reflects on the way she talks.

It's often slips out through sarcasm when she gets defensive/tries to cope but it's also happens in relatively safe environment (for example, when she talks with Betty):

- "Are you...very old?" (Wilson's mansion, bedroom)

This one liner is the most random question you can say to a stranger; I doubt it was very well thought out from her side

7. Audrey easily trusts people which makes her easy to manipulate

I couldn't skip this one.

When Wilson has created a story about his "poor lost father" as a bait and Audrey did believed in this, there are multiple reasons for "why"

This either could come from her being "goodhearted" or the circumstances being used against her

- She went through whole "father trauma" in one day without being able to process anything & get proper answers:

An idea of "saving" another father (Nathan Arch) who she could've knew more than her own father (Nathan says in one tape that he meet young animators at least once) could've hit her really close to home

- Audrey never actually got a real answer on how to leave the cycle, teaming up with Wilson (who was able to enter and leave) could've looked like the only one way back

(I do acknowledge that writing in DR could've been better at places but if you do think about it in this way,it makes sense)

7.1. She is empathetic

I think that this part says everything for itself and it doesn't need to be explained. Thought, she's the one who decide if someone deserves it.

- She felt bad for hurting Bendy on accident & apologized when she was able to

- When she met Allison for the last time, she "gave" her this name, remembering that she doesn't like to be called 'Alice'

- At the end of the game she wants to try to make the cycle better for everyone.

Twisted Alice (Susie) was included which means that Audrey doesn't hold grudges against her (even with the latest one wanting to kill her previously)

8. Audrey puts her arm through an ink container without hesitation or any side thoughts

IT IS a game mechanic and lore wise you can relate it to her being an ink creature

But honestly? It's in character for Audrey.

We're talking about someone who decided to go to great lengths to catch an aquarium fish (that's kept as a pet) and wanted to use it...for a recipe.

8.1. She doesn't mind eating out of trashcans

If you think that wanting to use someone's pet for a recipe is too weird, you're actually wrong. But eating out of trashcan (when you have other options) may be.

Thought, she drives a line on a food that has flies or other insects on it (like "chocolate cake")...i guess in other cases, it's fine to her.

~~~~~~~

Trivial things:

- Bendy seems to be her favourite cartoon character.

She calls him "little guy" in prologue and keeps close to her storyboards where he's the main character:

In the cycle, she acts joyful when she first stumbles upon the real deal.

- She loves chocolate donuts

- Audrey uses dark eyeshadows (can be seen only in prologue custscene. It's hard to notice at first)

- Her breakfast from to-do list are toasts

- She has abstract Bendy painting in her office

- It can be speculated that she's uncomfortable with being touched (or with someone being physically close), unless, she's the one who initiates it

Chestnut Stud Across the Multiverse: Symmetra’s Warrior Monk experience

Satya Vaswani, or Symmetra as she was known to some due to her own unique particular fixation and focus in balance and order, sat away typing at the desk of her workshop at the Capsule Corp offices. Idly glancing from her monitor screen to a nearby set of doors as she saw a pair of labgirls exit them. Their coats closed but doing little to hide the glistening sheen of their skin, faces flushed with red blushes and silly,satisfied grins as she watched them pass her by. Quirking a brow as she yet again had to wonder what the deuce went on inside that part of the building. Now she wasn’t a clueless virgin mind you, she just happened to be what one would call very work focused and goal oriented, so that meant she didn’t find or make much time for matters regarding sex and relationships. All she knew was that part of the office was the section dedicated to the company’s Capsule Cocks division, which was based on developing and marketing sex toys but that was the bare minimum of her knowledge to the matter. She’d tell herself it was fine being all she needed to know but damn her curiosity. Damn her treacherous brain putting ideas and fantasies into her head!! Oh sure she could just go up to her co-workers and maybe ask what went on inside and what they got up to but she felt that’d make her seem like a pervert! She was a Capsule Corp engineer and programmer of high skill and regard, not a slut!! If anyone was going to out her inquiry to rest, it might as well be herself as she mustered up some courage and confidence. Seeing no eavesdroppers or onlookers, she got up from her desk and made for the door, hacking the code lock was a cake walk for her as she entered inside. Time to see what it was that’s made those lab girls so weak in the knees and walking on sunshine oh so bad.

Symmetra:*hummed to herself,as she found this lab wing in one of its rare quiet periods. Usually there was heavy thumps and thuds like construction works mixed with some one playing very loud music on a high volume* huh,nothing unusual here…*the exotic engineer looked around with an inquisitive nature before coming upon a room labelle storage. Entering it to find half a dozen tables with sheets laid across whatever was lying upon them. Seeming person shaped which only made her even more curious.* what have we here now…..

Out loud saying that more to herself as she made her way to the nearest table, she took hold of the sheet and pulled it off. Eyes widening,her dark skinned fsce blushing as she beheld the sight of a five naked bald man. One she recognised as some close personal friend of ms.Briefs,Krillin if she recalled his name correctly. A greyish skinned twin of his literally bare before her,exposing sculpted,Herculean muscles and a cock of enormous girth and length than what you’d expect of a man of his size and frame. Her complex mind going mental gymnastics as she began to put the math together. Why so many women worked in this wing of the lab,so many of those volunteers and sex objects who seemed like hookers and porn stars. What she was looking at was a literal,full bodied,fully functional sex toy,a porno mannequin that for some reason looked like a friend of the boss lady herself. By all accounts this went against so many laws,rules and regulations of science and yet Symmetra couldn’t turn away. She’d never been one for thinking of anything in relation to sex, nevermind romance yet looking at this….compact figure of such design and build. So very well endowed, so easy on the eyes…

Symmetra:*sensually bites her lip as she rubbed her thighs together. There was no doubt about it,she was finding herself getting sexually aroused,as if the oresence of this…ideal man,had awakened Something in her.*I mustn’t,I shouldn’t be doing this….*yet her hands reached out to caress his torso. Tracing those powerful muscles,flinching as the sex doll Krillin clone’s eyes snapped open. The fresh of the production line,test pending warrior monk’s stoic gaze locked on her her.* Oooh my apologies,did I disturb your slumber? Let me make it up to you….*soon as she said that,she pressed her lips to his,kissing him. A gesture he didn’t hesitate in returning in the slightest.*

Symmetra moaned into the passionate kiss,which became sloppy as she and the warrior monk she started getting acquainted with let their lust guide and drive them. Her hands moving down along his Herculean compact body to grasp and caress his cock. Stroking it as she beheld with erotic awe at seeing it rise to erectness. Gasping as she found her shortstack companion grab and rip her clothes off of her, soon naked as she was yet not bothered in the slightest. If anything such boldness only spurred on her found sense of passion,as she moved to lay atop the warrior,making out with him as she straddled his waist. Gasping as she felt his cock smack and sandwich itself between her slit and the buns of glorious chocolate skinned booths. Her arousal skyrocketing as she grounded against that fuckmeat,her pussy soaking it with her nectar as her tits pressed snd rubbed against his firm pecs. Eyes flowing with lust as she glanced on either to see the other warrior monks sit up,awakening from their slumber. Their sheets falling off as their cocks sprung with erect stiffness at the sight of her in the act of such lewdness. It made the exotic beauty feel elicited to be the centre of attention,who cares if they’d re basically all the same guy! Breaking her liplock,a trail of saliva as she licked her lips at the other warrior monks,shaking and clapping her asscheeks to make thunderous mating cries.

Symmetra:come you hoard of alpha males. Fulfill uiur function and sate mt lust with your perfect bodies. Show me the pleasures of casual sexuality…..

As soon as she had spoke those words,she found herself on her knees,her hands and mouth moving between stroking and sucking off six warrior monks. Licking and blowing on their godly lengths and girths, even kissing and massaging their balls. Her dark skinned bombshell frame glistening with sensual perspiration as the six Krillin clones began to return the favour. Making her lay on a table as hone warrior monk ate her out,another facefucking her as her head hung off the very edge. A third straddling her torso as he cupped her tits,sandwiching his shaft between them as he used them to get himself off with a paizuri. At one oint she found one of them performing a rimjob,stunned to find herself somaroused at getting her ass eaten out. But then came that glorious moment when the mating began. Straddling a warrior monk so girl style as she shamelessly bounded and rode upon his cock, ass and firs bouncing and jiggling like jelly as the other 5 stood around,stroking away and staining her exotic skin with a rain of precum. Such a basic one on one postion so effective at bring her to climax but it omly got better from there.

From taking it doggystyle as one facefucked her while the other fucked her ass,showing her thst compared to getting ribbed,anal with such a lengthy,girthy cock filling her was an even greater experience. Particularly when she was sandwiched between a pair of warrior monks,their muscular forms between her as they fucked her balls deep in her ass and pussy. Two on one,three to all 6, the variety snd tandem combinations was a thrill ride for the capsule corp egghead as she began to understand first hand how and why so many many women came and went out of here looking so fulfilled and glowing. Symmetra of course unaware that Bulma was catching it all on camera,the ceo playing with herself as she used a warrior monk dildo to join her in experiencing orgasmic climax, her lewd mind already thinking now to approach and offer the engineer a new postion in the warrior monk development and test run program, once a gal had herself a taste like this,there was no doubt this one time was never going to be enough for her.

worst thing being a labgirl has done 4 me is needing 2 have a hair tie on me at all times its ljke 50% of my reasoning 4 wanting 2 shave my jead

[wewebaggit]

Do you think El genuinely loved Mike (romantically) at any point?

Yes. As much as a labgirl her age can. It's kinda BSY heavy. The Supergirl needs the nerd. His voice was also what pulled her out when she was in Vecna's lair? Regardless of what my position is on Mike loving El. I do think El has romantic feelings and is codependent on Mike. She's the overpowered fawn and he gets to be her guide in the real world. Works for both. Is what they think.

“I wanted to be studying plant growth, but science for war will always pay better than science for knowledge.” ― Hope Jahren, Lab Girl

“Our world is falling apart quietly. Human civilization has reduced the plant, a four-million-year-old life form, into three things: food, medicine, and wood. In our relentless and ever-intensifying obsession with obtaining a higher volume, potency, and variety of these three things, we have devastated plant ecology to an extent that millions of years of natural disaster could not. Roads have grow like a manic fungus and the endless miles of ditches that bracket these roads serve as hasty graves for perhaps millions of plant species extinguished in the name of progress. Planet Earth is nearly a Dr. Seuss book made real: every year since 1990 we have created more than eight billion new stumps. If we continue to fell healthy trees at this rate, less then six hundred years from now, every tree on the planet will have been reduced to a stump. My job is about making sure there will be some evidence that someone cared about the great tragedy that unfolded during our age.” ― Hope Jahren, Lab Girl

“I have learned that raising a child is essentially one long, slow agony of letting go.” ― Hope Jahren, Lab Girl

“I sat directly in front of him, held my head up, and watched. I watched him, as a clear-eyed witness of what he was doing and of what he was, of all of it. There at the end of the world, he danced in the broad and endless daylight, and I accepted him for what he was, instead of for what he wished he could be. The potency of my acceptance made me wonder, just a little, if I could turn it inward and accept myself. I didn’t know, but I promised myself that I would figure it out on another day. Today was already taken. Today was for watching a great man dance in the snow.” ― Hope Jahren, Lab Girl

“Oh, I'm not worried about him,' returned Bill. 'He's gone. It's not any more complicated than that. Honestly, if I admit it, it's me that I feel bad for.' He walked away from me and looked out toward the south. 'There's nothing like having a parent die to make you realize how alone you are in the world,' he added.” ― Hope Jahren, Lab Girl

It's really difficult to find books about characters who are in their early-mid 20s. Which is such a shame, because this stage of life is full of so many ups and downs! What are your favourite books that feature characters who are young adults?

Today’s contemplation comes from the end of chapter seven of the book Lab Girl, by Hope Jahren. “One new idea allowed the plant to see a new world and draw sweetness, but of a whole new sky.” New perspectives and novel ideas pass most of us by due to innate fear of change and uncertainty. Sometimes the sweetest of new skies lay just adjacent, but our ability to tap into that sweetness is blocked by our traditions, privileges, confirmation biases, culture, dogma, anxiety, fear, orthodoxy, or any number of obstacles. Thriving under new sky does not mean the old sky wasn’t valuable or nourishing; but old sky does not preclude the existence of perhaps a more nourishing, healthier, and sweeter new sky; or at the least, a sky better suited for new growth. I suppose we can never know without following the example of the cactus in this story - to try out a new idea, rather than sticking to the more comfortable cycle of re-validating the old.

Faz um tempo que o dia 16 de janeiro tem um significado importante na minha vida e uma adorável coincidência agregou mais um significado pra esse dia. Fazem três anos que recebi meu diploma e lembro que meu orientador da graduação uma vez disse brincando que nós só iríamos saber alguma coisa da agronomia depois de, pelo menos, 5 anos de formado. Hoje eu consigo entender o que ele quis dizer e ainda que falte maturidade e experiência em ser de fato uma engenheira agrônoma, sinto orgulho imenso da profissão que escolhi a 8 anos na ingenuidade, mas que aprendi a respeitar e admirar. E sei também que mesmo que não seja fácil e que talvez demore um pouco, vou encontrar meu caminho nessa profissão maravilhosa. 💪🤓🌱💚 #engenheiraagrônoma #muitoamorpelaprofissão #3anosdeformada #agro2010 #agrogirl #labgirl #vemdiplomademestre #letyourhairdown #bestrong #believe 📷: @rafaelsamora

‘The first real leaf is a new idea... it has to work harder than everything above it, all the while enduring a misery of shade.’ It's a quote from a book I'm reading right now, 'Lab Girl' by Hope Jahren, a geobiologist at the University of Hawaii. It's her life story that features her work, plants, science and personal life. I haven't finished it yet, but it's a real inspiration for me. Coloured pencils on paper.
