I certainly wouldn't like Finding Frankie as much if it weren't for Frankie's rubberhose inspired aesthetic, like Frankie's design DOES stray from the 1930s aesthetic but the influence is there I do believe he should get an invite to the murder-toon club however I don't think he would feel comfortable co-existing with the existing members, like—

Cartoon Cat:" WELCOME TO THE CLUB PAL! Me and the mutt–'

Cartoon Dog:" the name's Dog"

Cartoon Cat"–are eldtritch gods hiding behind the facades of cartoon characters, Spinel is a heartbroken jester who singlehandedly managed to beat her Earth's strongest defenders with ZERO PRACTICE and while actively playing with them, Bendy over there is an evolving beast stuck in a loop of murder, in that loop he's known as the Ink Demon and he can't really be stopped and you can only ever weaken him but he WILL turn murderous if you fuck with him, oh and of course Skitzo is–... Honestly his name speaks for itself, he is a giant weirdo though. SO WHAT CAN YOU DO!?"

Frankie:"...I have a monster form that was beaten by some random person in a costume?"

[cartoon-buffoon]

This psychopath gave me nightmares as a kid and now I sleep every night hoping I see him in my dreams

[shesunety]

I remember watching him when I was younger. Wild. I randomly remembered that he exists LMAO. So, yeah, here's a little fan art.

Welp the poll I did finished so here it is, Skitzo & LD as .exe and Tails, all dressed up for Halloween

I think I wanna do a small comic (that doesn't have LD suffering) featuring them and these costumes in it, idk some brotherly bonding between the two—like Halloween is the one day both are allowed out of hell and they genuinely go to the mortal realm just to get candy (well LD gets candy, Skitzo is probably murdering people)

[cartoon-buffoon]

MMMMM

You instantly know what ship I had in mind when I saw this

I'll die before I give up on this crackship!

[cartoon-buffoon]

Saw this meme going around for ships and I'm really just trying to find an excuse to keep drawing because idk it's become a lot harder recently. Anyways: using my phenomenal (awful) editing and great (abhorrent) drawing skills I managed to do a bit of editing so I could redraw it but for Oswald and Felix. It also makes more sense if Ozzie is using his banjo than singing so uhh, that. Original image on left as well.

And because I am a chronic crackshipper, ALT version featuring Skitzo who's a lot more enthusiastic than Felix

(btw Skitzo is so weird to draw facing forward, he looks so goofy!!!)

[cartoon-buffoon]

Let's kick Halloween off right with a funny animation meme, first time I'm using capcut + I basically self taught myself tweening. Also:

CONTENT WARNING! DEATH/DISTURBING IMAGERY!/FLASHING IMAGERY!

(let me know if it got you or not :3)

[cartoon-buffoon]

Where there's heroes there must be villains which is why I bring you a very nonsensical info dump related to Blood & Ink's cast of "Terrors" and where they come into play. All expect one of these are the despicable sadistic killers who took over Wasteland and are the MAIN antagonists of Blood & Ink. without further ado I present:

THE TERRORS!

For starters and a prerequisite "Terrors" are a species that are above toons. Unlike the creatures of Wasteland that are made up of paint and sometimes thinner, Terrors are made up of blood and ink—as is the name of the au—this effectively puts them above toons in terms of power. Now although they are immortal and have regeneration, they can be hurt but only by other things made up of blood and ink and damaged by magic. Instead of being remembered fondly and having fame allowing them to have red hearts like certain toons, Terrors are remembered negatively due to their henious acts thus giving them black hearts that drip full of hate for the viewers who trapped them, the toons who got to live in wasteland, and even each other. After Oswald freed them from the horrible pocket dimension they were trapped in they now have their sights on causing as much chaos as possible, although they seemingly all don't share the same end goal.

The Cartoon Cat: Cartoon Cat, CC, or simply "Cat" in this AU is an eccentric and cruel leader to the Terrors, being the one to keep them on track or boss them around. Although it's unknown why, he has a deep hatred for Oswald specifically, he also shows clear dislike and hatred towards the Cartoon Dog for an inexplicable reason that only he knows the answer to—or so he thinks. Being the brains of the Terror crew his focus is on taking back the world he was denied and reshaping not only Wasteland but also the entirety of toon town into a world ruled by him and his compatriots. After leaving Oswald for dead and making a display of Yen Sid, CC goes to take over Oswald's castle with the other Terrors only to be temporarily halted by the mad doctor. He wasn't even scratched by the doctor's attempt although he sees the benefit of having a tech wiz be under his command, employing the good strategy of intimidation he lets the mad doc live and not suffer a brutal death if he simply makes a portal to toon town they can use to spread their influence. Things don't go as planned for CC as instead of toon town the mad doctor opens a portal to the human world, once CC gets a glimpse at the very people who condemned him he sets his sights higher. With the ultimate goal of killing every human he sees fit to die he rules over the toons who are too scared to fight him, he is rather quick to enrage though once he sees Oswald didn't die and is actively making an attempt to stop his plans. As the leader CC is noted to be the most powerful of the bunch with his ability being basic body altercation, ink manipulation, and the power specifically tailored to him is item conjuration. CC can make any item appear from thin air—the only requirement being the object needs to be humourous/used in a humourous way otherwise his power temporarily goes onto a cool down. What qualifies as "humorous" is subjective though, if he thinks gouging out someone's eyes with a melon baller funny he can very well conjure it.

The Cartoon Dog: The Cartoon Dog, CD or "Dog" is often the one to do the dirty work for CC and is the muscle of the Terrors. Although not the brightest tool in the shed and actually having a rather dopey manner of speech and aloof nature he is not an idiot and he'll tell you that himself. Mocked for his intelligence constantly by CC, he is very capable of thinking and if trifled with can be a menace if he puts his mind to it. He is probably the most reasonable out of all the Terrors, unlike the other 3 who are strictly killers CD's first resort isn't killing, instead crippling as a more safer alternative. That being said CD is still a brute and with his powers of limitless body manipulation he can easily chase after and be a near unstoppable force that can blitz through whatever is thrown at him with ease. With all that being said he is rather temperamental and if angered he can't control his powers, his body will react subconsciously and manipulate itself to whatever it sees fit rather than what he wants. CD resides in an area of Wasteland that was once Mickey Junk Mountain, instead fitted to him he has turned the trash heap into an area simply called "The Junkyard" that is home to bodies and bones of all those who the terrors kill. Interestingly enough despite disliking CC he still mindlessly follows his orders under the excuse of "he's the brains and knows what to do, following hims gets us places" although CD's habit of not killing definitely raises an eyebrow to there being an ulterior motive behind all his action.

Inky/Bendy: Bendy otherwise known as Inky is the main producer of the ink all the Terrors use as their power source and lifeblood. While all the Terrors do produce their own ink Bendy is special in the sense that ink production is just a passive ability of his, ink will often be left in trails and stains whatever he touches. Now physically he's a lot more like the Bendy from dark revival, massive hunched figure, spikes all his back, giant toothy maw etc etc, however he chooses to disguise himself and look much more friendly like a regular toon, instead of being giants like the normal terrors he chooses to be small. With that being said his friendly exterior is all an act, although labelled as the weakest amongst the Terrors he is also the scariest with his ability to alter his anatomy and use ink to perfectly mimick ANYTHING he sees. This not only makes it scary to fight him but if you dare tread into his inky domain it's entirely possible one's own ally could be the demon in disguise, this makes Oswald rather anxious to even go into the area where he resides. Bendy dwells in what used to be tomorrow land, instead he took over the place and completely remodeled it, highjacking all the tech and actually downgrade it, turning the area into one big animation studio where he uses the ink to produce the twisted amalgams of ink and machine that are projectionists. Bendy also has an odd habit of selective mutism, he states he CAN speak but he always opts to mimick other's voices or lines or even just using his body language to speak rather than actually speaking himself. This isn't the only strange habit of his because Bendy acts somewhat childlike in his mannerisms, it's worth noting though he certainly is no child and whenever CC or CD look down on him or treat him like a one he's quick to shape shift into them and give them a quick taste of their own medicine,. That being said he is by far the most liked amongst the Terrors, CC, CD, and Skitzo all have no qualms with him with Skitzo specifically treating him as a very close friend and also treating him like an equal unlike CC and CD who see him as childish. Bendy's feelings towards his companions is unknown but he often plays into Skitzo's friendship (and only friendship) and will rub CD's belly if given the chance. It's also interesting that Bendy spends most his time devoting to helping the other Terrors yet his habit of not talking to them combined with the fact that once he was capable of getting his own domain he hardly even communicates with the others has him be oddly standoffish, as if focusing on something else rather than strictly trying to take over like CC wants.

Skitzo: Skitzo is the most interesting as he's simply known as the goofiest amongst the Terrors yet he certainly is the most disturbing. While other Terrors ARE sadists who revel in killing, they still ultimately kill to fuel their own goals. Skitzo isn't like that, Skitzo truly kills just to kill because he finds it fun. In fact arguably he is a jack of all trades with his personality, his intelligence occasionally outclasses CC. In psychotic episodes he can overpower CD. What makes him scarier than Bendy is the fact that all of this is unpredictable, Skitzo is a wild card and his strength and intelligence is seemingly something he can't pull up on a whim. He seems genuinely insane and his "goofiness" is used solely to sow destruction because he finds it funny. Skitzo uses cartoon gags more than anyone but he always uses them in grim and grizzly ways, for instance Skitzo chose the domain of pirate voyage to make his home in. What used to be a cove full of pirates is now merely a damp swamp where Skitzo lurks the waters, prowling and awaiting his prey. Once actually entering into the cove it only gets worse because of his morbid creativity Skitzo's domain consists of 7 layers representing hell, his decor and carnage is stapled everywhere making Oswald absolutely sick when he confronts the bear. Another interesting facet of his personality is his speech, only other Terrors can hear his voice while toons and humans only hear static. This is because static is his main power, Skitzo utilizes static in order to reshape his surroundings altering them to whatever he wants, with the static he can also teleport and do other "tricks" making his domain nearly impossible to get through. Skitzo is also by far the most simple in his desires, he desires nothing more than earthly pleasures with his first being to kill but his second being perverted. Skitzo flirts with both CC, CD, and occasionally Bendy although only if Bendy is in his demon form, of course his advances are seen as weird by both CC and Bendy who ignore him although CD is occasionally genuinely interested in Skitzo's freakish ways despite butting heads with the bear a lot. Of course Skitzo isn't all buddy buddy with all Terrors and his perversion only extends to those 3 because he has nothing but hatred and the desire to kill the final Terror—

The Little Dog: the Terror who's not a proper Terror, the Little Dog or LD is the singular Terror who—I should of probably added in the main character post—but is actually NICE! LD is mistreated by the Terrors because unlike the others he has a conscious and is appalled by harm of any kind done to toons and humans. He is immortal but often spends his time regenerating from Skitzo's harm, dismembered to the point he's nothing more than a puddle of blood and black before slowly regrowing new limbs. CC finds LD a disgrace and will also maim him but he leaves it more to Skitzo, Bendy is indifferent to LD's suffering although he has kicked the dog a few times purely because he finds his cries irritating. The only one who shows LD any sympathy is CD who actively protects LD and will hide him from Skitzo, LD doesn't understand why CD does this but his assumption is because that their both dogs they have some kinship. LD also isn't like the other Terrors and arguably shouldn't of been trapped with them, LD was actually apart of Skitzo's cartoon and Skitzo's actions dragged LD down with him. Now that he was freed by Oswald though he acts as an ally and informant against the Terrors to Oswald, trying to lock them away despite knowing if he succeeds he will just join them in their confinement. Although his job as an informant is fickle due to the fact that unlike Skitzo who is only unintelligible to non-Terrors, and Bendy who is selectively mute, LD is straight up silent. He can move his mouth but no words come out so he doesn't even bother half the time, this lack of a voice makes it really frustrating for him to talk to Oswald or the others if something big is going down because he either has to write it or act it out. Interestingly enough despite his deep fear of Skitzo, LD is the most adamant of keeping an eye on the bear. Often times LD will ask the mad doctor to try keep tabs on Skitzo for a reason he keeps private from the others who are against the Terrors, this builds distrust because people like Gus aren't convinced he ain't fully against the Terrors but LD doesn't like to dispute it because he too is focused on his own goal however his priority is still sealing away the others and he is more than happy to accept imprisonment with them if it means Wasteland, toon town, and the human world is safe.

[cartoon-buffoon]

I'm still thinking about the SkitWald crackship bullshit (Skitzo X Oswald) I made. Here is the first design—which is subject to change of course—of a Skitzo's and Oswald's child in an AU I have in my mind

The white over his face is supposed to be bandages covering his eyes. I made a whole load of lore for this bastard (literally... He was made before they got married, literal bastard child by definition). But yeah I made a lot of lore for this fella that nobody will probably care about but for just as a bit of added context: his name is Solbu and he takes after Skitzo more than he does Oswald and obviously is a hybrid between a sunbear and a rabbit.

Once again: design is subject to change as nothing comes out perfect the first try and it took 18 iterations before my main OC and mascot, Toon, came to his finalized design, so ya know improvements will be made. The only thing that is set in stone is his personality and lore because being the child of a normal toon a demonic entity makes Solbu's life.... Complicated.

[cartoon-buffoon]

Saw someone I followed doing this so I might as well also do it praying to all the gods they don't see this and get mad I copied them anyways time for:

TOON BUFFOON'S AUs

(feel free to inquire or ask about ANY part of these AU's as I love talking about them and most if not all of these WILL end up as a fanfiction story and I have plans for all of these)

Misery loves Company

Basic info: Misery loves Company features a version of Euthanasia Rabbit from FNF's Wednesdays' Infidelity and an OC based on that one Felix game over image aka: HET. Both Euthanasia Rabbit and HET have original written lore that is connected for this AU and although Euthanasia Rabbit's story of him losing Ortensia and being in a depression is similar how it happened is more detailed and kinda the main focus of this AU. That and Het and Euthanasia's absolute boiling hatred for each other that kinda gets resolved? Not really? Idk it's complex.

Summary: Oswald and Felix used to be "friends" until one day Felix went off the deep end leading to a conflict that sent both of them spiraling. The only saving grace Oswald has was his wife who one day died. Both donned new names for different reasons, both bitter at the other for the conflict that started everything they one day meet again in a forest where Felix (now named Het) intends to kill Oswald (now named Euthanasia). This doesn't go as planned however and ultimately leads to Het ending up on his 9th and final life. Due to the fight they call a temporary truce but they still absolutely hate each other and do everything in the power to make sure the other dies because they firmly believe the other was responsible for all the misery they faced. From their perspectives at least

Blood & Ink

Basic info: An Epic Mickey AU inspired by Gravity Fall's Weirdmageddon and Infamous Second Son. This AU features Oswald fighting against four powerful creatures called "Terrors" who—unlike Toons who are made of paint and can be dissolved by thinner—Terrors are made of ink and use blood as a power source. The terrors themselves are also famous rubberhose horror characters as I like them and they belong in this AU, the Terrors are specifically: Bendy/The Ink Demon, Trevor Henderson's Cartoon Cat and Cartoon Dog, and Skitzo the 1920s killer bear. There's also the 5th Terror being the only good one who is from Skitzo's cartoons being named "The Little Dog". The way Oswald fights them is with powers he gets and he's gotta solve the mess he made because he awoke the Terrors.

Summary: Wasteland is in ruins, despite everything him and his brother went through that mouse had abandoned Ozzy leaving him to deal with wasteland slowly crumbling. Not wanting his world to vanish or be destroyed he inlisted the mad doc's help in order to temporally escape wasteland and meet with Yen Sid who offers him info of creatures who could save his world. Unfortunately this entire thing goes haywire and Oswald is brutally killed by the Terrors he woke up only to be brought back, this time with new powers as a result of his paint getting combined with ink. Oswald now must get a hold of his powers as he tries to stop the sadistic creatures who took over his world in such a short time while also struggling with the mouse who popped back in.

Toon & The murder toon trio

Basic info: Personal OC insert AU featuring my OC Toon who is an amorphous blob of ink who takes on the appearance of a crappily made cartoon character because he finds it appealing. While exploring the area he woke up in he awakes the murder toon trio which is the Cartoon Cat, Cartoon Dog, and Skitzo. This AU is more or less a hectic slice of life thing where Toon tries to maintain a sense of normalcy whilst the three constantly try to drag him along to perform "pranks" or just murder people.

Summary: there is no real summary for this, Toon just gets bullied a lot by the three however the three actually do hold some affinity for him. Due to Toon awaking them the murder toons cannot stray too far away from him and Toon can regenerate so they can't kill him so their all kinda stuck together. They build a weird sorta bond of friendship and relying on each other, heck there's also a sort of love drama going on because Toon is a moron who falls for Skitzo and the Cartoon Dog desperately tries to tell him not to date someone named straight up "Skitzo".

[cartoon-buffoon]

It's pride month and I wanted to do a redraw for my personal crackship. Oswald peeping the horrors of Skitzo and his canonical otherworldly mystery of what the hell he has in his shorts. Also I tried to draw the little belly bumps that both of them would have if they were to have their torso covered yet it just looks like random lines on the sheet so... Yeah. I tried

I thought the tallies would be funnier + Skitzo doesn't seem like the type to smoke, he'd probably eat the entire package if somebody handed him a thing of cigs. Also I love the irony of this image because Oswald is obviously a rabbit yet compared to Skitzo who is literally nicknamed the "Eye of The Pervert" he would be downright traumatized.

[cartoon-buffoon]

More SkitWald stuff as I'm the captain of this ship. Skitzo casually growing in size just so Oswald can hop a ride on him seems like such a cute idea to me, also it allows for the usual tiny rabbit to see stuff he wouldn't be able to otherwise (unless flying of course)

Also alternate not a ship drawing featuring Skitzo's victim friend The Little Dog. Skitzo is less thrilled to give LD a ride than he is Oswald however. LD doesn't seem to notice though, he's just enjoying the view while he can that is

[cartoon-buffoon]

Here's a fic I TRIED to finish on Friday the 13th but I was too wrapped up in creating a gift for someone. Uhh wanna note: THIS IS A HUMAN AU/THE TOONS ARE HUMANS this is for a lore reason! Anywho while I do have an idea where this AU goes/leads I wanna make a note that this is kinda a one shot? If there's an audience and some folks are intrigued I'll consider continuing this. Just ask lol, anyways with that outta the way—WARNINGS!: MURDER, BLOOD, & CHILD DEATH!! (that's all, enjoy!)↓

Victims NO. 4 & 5

The night was cold as the married couple drove in their car down to the scene of a crime. Both were asleep in their beds only a few minutes ago, they were forced to awake after their friend at the station gave them a call. Oswald reached into his glove compartment and popped a small caffeine tablet into his mouth. He could have perhaps brewed himself a fresh pot before he left or maybe stopped by a gas station to get himself something but he didn't want to waste any time. The crime scene wasn't going anywhere but he felt like every second he didn't dedicate to solving this spree of grizzly killings was time wasted. The pills used to be quick pick-me-ups so he could think straight, however over the last few weeks he had become more than reliant on them to keep him lively. Tonight was one of the few nights he managed to get some sleep finally, it was just his luck that another killing happened. Thankfully it was just him who was sleep deprived, unfortunately the reason why his wife was wide awake was because she heard the details of the call. While Oswald tried to keep the entire thing hush-hush, Ortensia caught wind of a few words shared that sent adrenaline coursing through her veins.

"2 bodies—"

"—Eyes gouged out—"

"—20 minutes after—"

"—ages 16 and 10..."

It was that last one that messed her up the most, that little detail making her stomach churn. She could piece the full story together only hearing those details that were given a bit too loud over the phone. From what it sounded like this was nothing more than the work of the sick fuck they had been trying to track down all this time. She couldn't fathom it, children, literal children being subjected to something so heinous and vile. Just the thought made her blood boil, the second she'd find the bastard who did it—

"Babe? You okay?"

Ortensia snapped out of her head, called to earth by the concerned voice of her husband. Not once did he look away from the road yet the long silence signaled him to know something was up.

"Babe?... You still sleepy?" He asked.

"No... No I'm not..." Looking at her husband she couldn't help but feel anger, he didn't tell her a thing about the case that he got an entire rundown on. Confronting him directly, she stared out the window at the dark scenery, trying her best not to get too mad "... I heard what Felix said, he's not exactly keen on whispering things"

Oswald flinched, his grip tightening on the steering wheel as he glanced at his wife. Quickly composing himself he focused back on the road and muttered "I'm sorry... I just felt like it would be better if you didn't know"

"And find out while I'm already there? Yeah that's way better" she scoffed and rolled her eyes.

"I know! I know! I'm sorry it's just–it's just–just–" Between the pills taking effect and the pain he felt for lying to his wife he couldn't help but stutter. Quickly he did his best to compose himself, stopping at a stop sign he took a breath and looked for any oncoming cars. With not a soul in sight he exhaled and continued on, "I didn't want to off-put you on this... I know you want to catch this guy as much as I do yet I know you don't do kid cases"

Ortensia's expression softened as she turned to her husband, the man rapidly thumping his foot against the floorboard out of clear anxiety making any anger she felt fade away. She could never truly stay mad at him, as much as it did hurt to know he kept this information pointlessly private in the end it was because he cared. He was absolutely right in the sense that she didn't deal with cases involving kids, it hurt too much. This was different though, this time she'd tackle past pain and carry on in hopes to find this killer and put an end to his killings.

Putting a hand on Oswald's thigh Ortensia sighed "... I understand honey, we're in this together though, that means if you know something I also know it"

"I understand... It won't happen again" Oswald gave a small smile and started to drive with one hand, the other going towards his wife's which he squeezed tightly.

Ortensia squeezed his hand back, resting her head on his shoulder. She appreciated the small moment of peace they had before they would be thrust into whatever dark residue a killer left behind.

It wasn't long after that until they arrived on the scene, the lot of a famous movie studio. They obviously couldn't drive right in, a gate blocked their entry, luckily waiting there at the gate was their friend Felix. The dark haired slightly chubby chief of police opened the gate and gestured for them to drive on in. Once the car passed the gate he locked it back up and made his way over to the driver's side door.

Knocking at the window, he waited for Oswald to roll down the tinted glass before saying "you sure got here fast–"he stopped midway, noticing Ortensia in the passenger seat "Oh! Whiskers... I uhh, didn't expect you to come out with Oz" Felix also knew of Ortensia's weak stomach for children cases, his tone one full of shock that she showed up.

"I'm on the case as much as Ozzie is, I didn't hear the full story though, mind explaining what happened?"

"Mmm, I didn't give Oz the full thing either"

"Wait—you didn't?" Oswald piped up "What'd you leave out then?"

Felix winced, looking over in the distance he pulled away from the window and gestured for them to follow "I'll explain once ya see what went down—bodies were already wheeled out... It's just blood left"

Ortensia could tell that little detail was added just for her sake, some sort of reassurance so that she wouldn't get squeamish. It felt patronizing yet after seeing Oswald lie for the sake of protecting her she knew Felix was doing something similar. It was nice to know she had such thoughtful friends, although she didn't pay any attention to the small kindness. What she was concerned with was the way Felix talked, his tone and even his demeanor was... Off?

As the couple got out of their car and followed Felix across the lot on foot, Ortensia nudged her husband to get his attention.

"Hmm?" He turned to her "what is it?"

Lowering her voice to a whisper she remarked "do you see anything wrong with Felix?"

"..." Looking over at his friend Oswald made a snarky comment "he didn't make a god awful joke?"

Although joking Ortensia nodded "actually yes, we both know he loves his dark humor and everytime he calls us out to one of these he always tries to lighten things up"

"Well, you think there's some joke to be made here?" Oswald raised an eyebrow "Maybe he finally learned how to read a room and not be insensitive"

"Mmm... Maybe you're right"

The two fell silent, Ortensia still bothered by Felix who led them to an area below a water tower. When the man said there was blood he meant it, Felix's car's headlights illuminated a small portion showing the lower metal poles of the water tower drenched with red. It got even worse when they looked at the ground and saw fired blood extending for several feet outside of two small chalk outlines. Ortensia instinctively took a step back, the mental image at what went down almost making her vomit. Oswald immediately noticed and wrapped an arm around her, she quickly calmed herself and gave a nod to signify she was okay and stepped back up.

Felix lit up a cigarette, taking a long drag off of it before scratching his head "security guard called in a few hours ago... Didn't hear a thing and I waited for things to get less messy before calling ya in, Oz"

"Don't, once you've seen the first victim this bastard has made you know what to expect" Oswald took one last look at his wife before letting go, walking around the pools of blood on the ground he surveyed the area for anything out of the ordinary "so you catch the story of what happened before everything went down?"

Felix nodded "Security guard said three kids who worked here as actors always would stay after hours and hang out around this water tower, when he came to shoo them out as usual he found 'em sprawled out on the floor"

Oswald perked up at his friend's words, looking at the chalk outlines he quickly pointed out the inconsistency. "You said there was only 2 bodies, where's the other?"

Felix went silent, he didn't turn to face Oswald as he tried to maintain apathy about the entire situation "Third kid... The middle child of the bunch got out unscathed, we got him in custody down at the station"

"Custody!?" Oswald looked around, puzzled at the word choice.

Felix could see his friends confusion and swallowed a ball of spit in his throat "Ya see Oz–"

"Hay Ozzie!" Ortensia interrupted, her voice distant and around a corner "I got footprints, they match the ones we found the last 3 times!"

Oswald immediately rushed over to his wife, following the sound of her voice much to the chief of police's dismay. Felix's cigarette fell out of his mouth as he was quick to follow in hopes to explain something dire. He didn't get a chance though, instead shock took over as he saw what the two others saw. On the floor laid a blood stained knife, the asphalt damp in an area where the tears of the survivor had fallen.

"... Felix...I thought you said the third was unscratched?"

"He is Oz, this is just where we found him when we were called, the security guard didn't see the kid"

Ortensia covered her mouth as she realized what this meant, her eyes filling up with tears of her own "they... They had to watch as their siblings were..." She couldn't bring herself to say it, her body trembling from the full extent of the situation "oh god..."

Oswald immediately pulled Ortensia into a hug, patting her on the back as he turned to Felix "the kid must have seen the killer's face right? If you have him down at the station I don't know what the hell we're doing here when we need to find out who this sicko is"

Felix scratched his head, desperately trying to think of something "there's a lot too it Oz, if ya give me a second I can explain there's some security camera footage that–"

"Security cameras!?" Oswald repeated in a surge of excitement. He was almost in disbelief, the prospect that they had caught whoever did this on film filled him with a rush that put the caffeine tablets he took to shame. He wiped away his wife's tears, his breaths shallow as he tried to give her a reassuring smile that this entire line of killings was over "HA! Security camera footage, we got him! We actually got him!"

Ortensia gave a shaky sigh of relief and buried her face into her husband's shoulder, whispering thanks out "oh thank the Lord... Thank the Lord, nobody else will have to–"

"CAN I SPEAK!?"

All excitement faded as they looked to see Felix, his face being one unrecognizable. The earlier sentiment Ortensia had that something was off was right as Felix's face was one that held horror. Seeing fear—no—genuine *dread* on his face was all but too startling for the couple who were used to seeing the jolly chief be nothing but jokes. The yell was even more startling, to hear what Felix sounded like with a raised voice made them fearfully look at each other. The look they shared made Felix turn away realizing his outburst helped no one, instead lowering his voice, he got straight to it as he trembled.

"The footage... You REALLY need to see the footage okay?"

Ortensia and Oswald looked at each other, understanding that whatever this was, this took priority. And priority it did as Felix brought them over to his car where he opened up his trunk to grab his laptop, the security footage already pulled up. He placed the laptop on the back of his car and pressed play, stepping back for all of them to see in clear view.

At first it seemed normal, the footage was 4 screens showcasing different parts of the studio lot, the entire thing being sped up and holding no audio. If they didn't know any better they would just assume it was footage of 3 kids goofing around in a lot underneath a water tower. Eventually though the middle child left, leaving the youngest and eldest there, the girl and boy shared equal amounts of confusion as their brother left so abruptly. That confusion soon turned to worry, the footage showing a whole hour passed before both started pacing back and forth, most likely worrying for their brother. It was right around the 3 AM mark of the video did Felix take the liberty to slow it down getting exactly what happened before two lives were lost. The eldest and youngest were talking about something unknown, their mouths moving on camera before both stopped at what one could only assume was some sort of sound. Whatever the sound was, it scared them half to death as both stood frozen for a second, the eldest telling his sister to wait while he investigated. The footage from that point became choppy, static cutting in and out as they saw the youngest disobey the orders and courageously follow her brother much to his dismay and reluctance. With both siblings in tow they moved off the first panel's sight, crossing over into the second and third as they investigated. Behind them hung a passing shadow, a blink and you'll miss it moment where it showed something dash across frame and follow them. Oswald and Ortensia couldn't look away as the kids finally landed in the sights of the fourth camera lens showcasing their last moments. The brother and sister anxiously walked until they were stopped by the sight of their own brother standing in the moonlight, knife in hand. The couple's hearts sank to their stomach and blood ran cold at the sight, the young boy had a blank smile on his face as he took a step forward with malicious intent.

Then it just ended, as quick as it came the footage ended. Static replaced anything visible promoting Felix to press a button and pause it.

"That's where it ends..." Is all Felix had to say leaving the two detectives with no answers and only questions.

I guess random talk/advertisment of an AU. Uhh yeah I've created a good deal of a Epic Mickey AU called "Blood & Ink". Like there's this fanfic which is a prototype/pilot introduction TO the AU

In the tags "Blood & Ink AU" will also fetch you like ALL of the posts/info dumps I've made of this. But one of the things I'm wondering is will there be even an audience for this? My plan is to create a several chapter story following Oswald trying to grasp powers he doesn't understand and deal with his own emotional state and how unstable it is since a running theme of the AU is "hate" and hos it can twist and change one's perspective on not just people but their overall mentality on life.

One small problem with this: THIS IS GONNA GET GOREY!

Like obviously it's a fanfiction, it's a story, it's not gonna be done in art form. IMO written gore isn't as bad as drawn gore—even me with a GREAT imagination just doesn't find descriptions alone as good as physically imagery. But gore is still gore and extreme violence even in written form may put off some people because like, I ain't going easy. I mention how Yen Sid does get burned alive and while he DOES come back that doesn't take away from the planned scene where Bendy creates an oven outta ink, Skitzo turns a crank to pump in gas, CD locks him in, and CC lights it with a match. Something like that may repulse people and while it isn't necessarily important to the story it does set the tone because the entire fic is DARK, but it still has some comedic value and is supposed to be a meaningful tale.

(Gonna make posts like this based on my main AU featuring the murder toons and my OC Toon which is a sort of self insert)

Toon:"FINALLY! WINTER! You guys know what this means right?"

CC:"me and the mutt start growing fur instead of just being rubber-skinned all the time?"

CD:"the homeless populations gets higher and wes get to eats more of 'em?"

Skitzo: places a bloody Santa hat on his head

Toon:"uhh... Well, yes all three of those are right, but what I'm referring to is the fact that I get a break soon!"

CC:"ahh yes, the break you use to sit alone and cry in your room"

Toon:"I did that last year, THIS YEAR IMMA BE PRODUCTIVE!"

CD:"didn't last years you also saids that and nearlys off-ed yourself?"

Toon:"... Why is it that you all only pay attention to me when I'm at my lowest?"

Skitzo: growls

CC:"what he said, it's funny to laugh at ya when you're depressed"
