#she's also left very literally in an unsure place that exists in the mind

I'm sorry if I'm bringing negativity to your blog,you can ignore my ask, I'll understand.
Mike (JDS) is active on his YouTube channel (community tab) right now and he replies to a lot of questions.
In one of them he confirmed that The Illusion of living written by Kress isn't canon and one that exists in Batim/Batdr has different biography of Joey. Isn't this weird? We got a physical book that explores character in details. And now it's not canon.
We'll never get "canon" biography for him so this erases huge portion of his character, pre-studio Henry and Sammy, Joey's queerness and Abby Lambert's whole existence.
I'm so upset about this whole thing. Idk what to do with myself /gen
Never apologize for giving me an excuse to complain about Bendy KJHDFGKJDHFGKJHSD I might not be happy with the way the devs are, but it would feel a lot worse to just push down my feelings about em then to at least know others feel the same. And yeah you're absolutely right! It's very weird and confusing.
I honestly am so glad you brought up the particular point of "We'll never get "canon" biography for him" it's honestly one of the most frustrating parts of this whole book retcon. The devs are never going to fill in the blanks this has made so really all this does is take away so much from the world!! Like the devs have never expressed interest in showing us what the studio was like before the cycle and that was the fun of the books! But now we know those aren't canon so that part of history is just left blank with nothing to fill it and likely nothing ever will. The devs seem so disinterested in developing these character's backstories, pasts, etcs, I don't know how they could literally have someone write a great one for their MAIN VILLAIN and then willingly throw it away. So sad.
I loved Abby a lot in that book, her friendship with Joey was both sad and fun. It's upsetting when you see the way Joey is willing to admit behind her back how unsure he is of her talent if I recall correctly. Not to mention how funny it was when she clearly knew how snobbish and mean Joey could be to works of art.
Now she's just gone, along with Joey's entire backstory which I had loved. Reading that book felt like a gateway into his mind, seeing the way he thought, the way he justified his actions. How he lies, everything. It was so compelling, it made me fall in LOVE with Joey's character. He felt sympathetic and beyond redemption at the same time. Not to mention how much I LOVED Sammy's appearance in it. Ugh it was just all so well written, you truly felt like you were seeing the world the way Joey did for a moment. Walking through the mind of a mad man and seeing everything he would allow you to.
I also like the way Nathan was portrayed too, he kinda seemed like he was so defensive of Joey? Which I thought could tie into BATDR and he'd be revealed to be a villain. Like when he says stuff like sometimes he liked to think Joey was being lied to as opposed to lying to others about how the studio was going. How messed up is that? To just casually accuse Grant of withholding that information from his boss just because Nathan doesn't want to think Joey would lie about that? It seemed like a fun place to take his character.
Then that all just gets thrown away? I just don't get it. By far I prefer that version of Joey above the games. His backstory, his mind, the way he sees the world as a big story? It was all so perfect.
Honestly the only thing I can say in comfort is to just love the books for how well written they are. Canon or not, I prefer their writing over the games. So make fanart for them! Tell others why you like them! If the bendy devs won't give them the praise they deserve we will! And if anyone is having trouble getting their hands on the Bendy books, they can always dm me ;]
#ramblez#batim#batdr#wow this turned out long#well op I hope this makes u feel at least a little better#its frustrating yeah but I think as a fandom just being able to see others who love the books as much as I do#and talking about the books with them is enough to make me happy#esp knowing it prolly would make the bendy devs unhappy to know we like the books more than the slop they make-#DFGKHSDFKGJHSDFKJGHSD

I just got a new apartment, I'm gon' leave the floor wet, walk around this bitch naked, and nobody can tell me shit - Ari Lennox
Okay bebes, I know I said I'd be posting more on here, but I got busy moving into my very first place on my own 😆🏡💖!!! I am so proud of myself for finally achieving something that makes me feel like a real adult. It's kinda crazy how it happened 😅🙄🙃, but basically the landlord is a friend of my mom's, and my older sister was the first to be offered to stay in this townhouse, then eventually I ended up staying there with her, bc of this dumb ass arrangement my ex made to be able to go back home (in a different city), and then eventually come back for me, once he got us set with our own place again. So whilst waiting on him in the mean time, I was helping out my sister financially, bc she was struggling to get by, an as sisters, of course I wanted to help out as much as I could, and I did, but I guess none of that really mattered to my older sister, bc the moment I did something she didn't like, she was basically ready to kick me out.
All I did was ask her nicely to just ask permission to use my car when I'm home (mind you, I didn't mind her using my car, I just wanted her to be considered to ask first), and she basically told me she didn't have to ask for shit, and bc of that response I took my car keys with me when I carpooled to work, and she then escalated the situation even more by basically threatening to have my car towed, and kicking me out (now also mind you, when I said I was financially helping her, I mean at one point she got fired from her job, of her own fault, trust me, and I was literally paying for everything until she had found a new job). I had to fake apologize to keep this bitch from towing my car, and she tried to give me 3 days to get out of her place, but the moment I got off from work that night, I immediately came and got my things, and left to stay with a friend that was willing and ready to take me in (S/O to that amazing friend 🙌🏾💖🙌🏾).
When I say that shit really hurt my heart 🥺🗡💔, bc every time I try to be a good sister and be there for her, she always does some fucked up shit to me. Like last time we fell out, this bitch called herself abandoning me in another state, over a misunderstanding, and the only reason I wasn't worried about being left was bc I was with the rest of our family, so ik I was going to have a way back, but I always imagined if I didn't 😒. Its honestly just so fucked up how she does me, cause in one breath she's all "thank you for being there for me and helping me" and "I just want to be able to help and take care of my two younger sisters, so y'all never have to want, I love you", and then in another breath it's "fuck you, I don't need you, I don't owe you shit, you need me", like girl what 😩😩😩, like her logic is so fucked up. All I've ever done is tried to be a positive impact in her life, but ever chance she gets with me, she is always a negative one in mine. So when I say I'm done with her, I truly mean it this time, I never want to have anything to do with her ever again, I genuinely don't give af how bad or good things get for her, she no longer exists to me, I will never help or care about her again 😤😤😤.
But getting back on track, once I had moved out, I contacted our landlord and told her in few details I had to leave, and she basically said that bc my sister had not been paying her half of rent (something she was doing intentionally, before she got fired, to spite our landlord, bc this bitch always feels the need to retaliate over stupid shit, and I wasn't going to pay her half on top of everything else I was paying for the both of us), she actually needed to leave, and I could come back 😯🤭🤭! I was hesitant at first about coming back, bc I was unsure of my ability to take on the responsibility all on my own, but than I remember like I was financing not only just my sister and I, but also my fucking ex at the time too ( i promise ima talk about him too y'all in another post 🙄🤦🏾���♀️😒😤), and if I was able to finance all three of us, and I no longer had that obligation to either of them anymore, I could definitely afford to live on my own 🤔🤔🤔, and with that realization, I reached back out to the landlord and accepted the offer!
Now it did definitely take a few months to be able to move back into this place bc of the landlord (which I always understood my sisters frustrations with our landlord, I just never agreed with the way she wanted to go about handling the situations with them), but eventually I was finally able to move in! I've only been here for a week and few days, and I'm still unpacking and arranging things, but I am so happy to be here. Like I thought I wanted to or had to live with others, but now I'm just at a point of wanting to be on my own and having my own. No one can take this from me, or threaten to put me out, I make the rules around here, this is my space to do whatever I want with, and it makes me soooooo happy, and I can truly feel safe 😉🧘🏾♀️✌🏾💖.
