ulysses would honestly be the perfect candidate for anything enemies to lovers regarding the Courier if people weren't so focused on pretending the random one off Legion members are better written than they actually are

I made this comic back in 2020. It is, unfortunately, even more relevant today than it was back then, and it's only been 4 years.

Gotta love the white girl "horror" tubers and clown makeup with video titles like "TIMES HORROR WENT TOO FARRR!!!" And proceed to lump the most vanilla taboos next to extreme taboos like bitch wtf 💀

crawls out of my cave spitting blood. do you see the vision. do you understand

[storywestistrash]

watched mouthwashing finally. the fact that i saw people be more aggressive towards curly than jimmy is kinda strange. kinda real weird

[marlynnofmany]

I got a free T-shirt the last time I donated blood that says "This is my Halloween costume: I'm a blood donor," and it just occurred to me that it could be really funny to wear that with some fake vampire bites painted on my neck.

meaningless episode in which nothing is wrong so nothing is right

[tacagen]

one of the things that fascinate me about thawne: yes, he CAN be normal with kids! surprisingly normal!

((not at all times, though. his mental illness still spills through and as usual he, in trying to manipulate or hurt others, spits out at them the exact stuff that would hurt him (or have in his childhood/barry's rejection interpretation) the most in the first place lmao))

but at the same time. his like second instinct when doing his bullshit is FUCK THEM (as) KIDS

(and, well. whatever this classifies as)

more art of survivor and monk's family. (headcanon alert)

the white and pink slugcats arent survivor and hunter btw!!! just wanna make that clear because ive seen some people assume that.

My simple headcanon is that after survivor and monk were lost, allegedly dead, the parents out of grief became very overprotective of their last remaining pup (third sibling).

By the next migration, the parents refused to migrate alongside the colony despite several warnings of imminent danger. in my drawing, gourmand trys to convince them to, at the very least, let their pup travel with the safety of the colony. to no avail, the parents get offended by the suggestion and set off on their own.

this headcanon is still a work in progress. im not sure if I'll expand on it or just keep it as is but i guess we'll see.

[storm-of-feathers]

actually we should talk ab the anti immigration sentiment at some point like "americans with a family history of immigration arent REALLY [culture of origin]" like hey now?

[feelingemotjons]

I'mma need every ignorant white mihoyo stan to block me right now. Mihoyo has no fucking right taking deities and cultures just to whitewash them and use them as an aesthetic. It doesn't matter how much you try to twist the narrative, it. is. not. okay. Mihoyo has enough artist, animators, employees, etc to research and educate themselves on different skin tones and features but they choose not to and actively make the fucking ENEMIES have darker skin with black hairstyles instead.

There is absolutely NO ONE stopping them from making dark skinned playable characters. There is no one stopping them from putting black npcs in historically black cities. There is no one stopping them from giving their characters MELANIN

It took mihoyo THREE YEARS AND A HALF to develop genshin.

They had three years to educate themselves and yet here we are four years later stuck in the same damn boat with mihoyo whitewashing cultures and people continue to defend them again and again

And the ONLY canon black character they have in honkai impact literally bleaches her fucking skin because she is ashamed of it

And her mom is just another strong angry black women stereotype (mind you that she is also the only buff/masculine women in the game)

Literally look at her compared to kiana's mom, who is pale with blue eyes, and is supposed to be seen as more feminine

If mihoyo isn't actively being racist I don't know what the fuck their trying to be.

the way buck got so much hotter this season. i never believed in a post-dick glowup but the evidence...... it is compelling.

All white fit, hello??

Genuinely so curious who Mike thinks is gonna be buying The Cage or the new DCTL GN bc with the way he tweets as far as he's concerned, it's not gonna be:

The queer people he has actively admitted he will never show any representation of in the games.

2. The POC he has actively fought against representing in his franchise. [Who he also mocked for thinking they would be represented in his franchise]

3. The Bendy fandom which has always been concerned with topics of diversity esp in the sense of queer people since its creation. Who he has responded to really poorly esp in regards to the GN.

4. The fans who critique him. [He blocked me for doing so lol]

5. His fans in general who he tweets about like this currently. [He's being vague about why people were mad at him or sent him 'nasty messages' because if you actually looked into why you'd see he was in the wrong. Either way, a very hateful way to speak abt ur own fanbase.]

Reminder while Mike is trash talking his fans he has always treated them rather poorly. The fans who won the fanart contest for Chapter 5 never got their posters actually in game due to it being rushed. Not only was chapter 5 a big slap to the face story wise, but it was literally so rushed he couldn't be bothered to add in the art his fans gave him for his game FOR FREE. [Meatly blames this on a crazy timeline, reminder him and Mike are the literal ceos of this company. The proposal of future updates here is also pretty cruel considering Mike nowadays happily admits he corrupted Chapter 5's source code and therefore literally can't update it At All currently. Because he is a moron]

At least they got to be in Boris and the dark survival, and by that I mean that was the Only game they got to be in so far, isn't that just treating your fans like you love them? Shoving their hard work into a spin off game almost nobody has played or addresses much. [Hell, who knows if with the Lone Wolf rebrand they'll even stay there. In which case they'll be in None of the games, only in the credits of BATIM]

6. The Bendy fans who just generally disagree with him on stuff. Like the new ink demon design where there is literally a public poll showing people generally prefer the old one.

7. The Bendy fans who can see he is actively lying to them. To their fucking faces.

He says this has always been the case, but screenshots and links to tweets regarding the books being canon prove it was not. Does he really think bendy fans are stupid or something? [Unless he's admitting here he lied to Kress when he told her the books were canon which sounds worse!]

8. Anyone who doesn't like the idea of giving money to a guy who laid off tons of employees then afterwards thought it was a great idea to express his anti-union views! Also brag about how good of an employer he was, according to his employees, he was not!

So in summary; Mike is an awful person who has not learned anything from the awful things he did. I will not be purchasing The Cage because, combined with this and his absolute refusal to take any kind of critique or see any differing interpretation of his franchise, I have no reason to think my problems with the franchise will ever be addressed or fixed. I probably will pirate The Cage along with any future Bendy Products [Including the movie] and will do my best to avoid giving it any kind of monetary support. Unless this changes any time soon, I can't see myself making anymore positive Bendy posts soon.

Mike has just managed to make it so hard to speak positively or optimistically of this franchise when he's so willing to broadcast how little he cares about it or its fans. I'm at the point where I refuse to pull any of my punches with my problems with it. What's the point of trying to play nice with my critique when either way the people creating it don't care?

So with this post, I want to invite anyone who feels similarly about the franchise to tell me, make a post or send an ask talking about how all of this makes you feel. It may not change how things are, but genuinely seeing other people share my feelings of anger makes me feel better. It feels nice to see when other people share our same concerns and worries. I'd also love to know if anyone else thinks they'll be avoiding purchasing Bendy products over this.

I'm not forcing anyone to participate in it nor trying to say anyone who doesn't supports mike but genuinely maybe if we can collectively decide to boycott things like the movie, graphic novel and The Cage... It might at least make the bendy devs acknowledge how much they have destroyed their own fandom's faith and trust in them.

The way Mike tweets about his actions like he had no control over why people were mad at him at least proves to me he takes NONE of it back nor regrets it. If you didn't know about his actions and only went off his tweets, you would be led to believe Mike has been needlessly picked apart by fans over things he couldn't control [or in his own words, had his words twisted and taken out of context]. That is not how you speak about your actions if you have actually learned better from them.

anyway, that has been my bendy dev callout post. This is an open invitation to anyone feeling similarly upset about the way the franchise is going to talk about it. It's genuinely nice to see how people feel about this and the more we talk about the more it's likely the bendy devs are forced to address our concerns. I don't think they will but hey, that's why I'm not gonna support them with my money anymore nor am I gonna be nice to them in any content I make critiquing Bendy. I mean I'm also basically making this post just in case anyone asks me Why I feel this way towards to bendy devs/as a way to respond to anyone who thinks I am too harsh in my critique in the future.

As always, it seems the best part of Bendy isn't actually anything about canon but about what the fan's are creating with the ideas Bendy failed to do anything interesting with.

Also the books, the books slap.
