Just going through my backlog from the past few days, sorry for the Bad Ending Epilogue spam lol. Got a couple more things to post before I'm done.

Mark at this point knows Boss isn't his dad, but he makes sure to call him that anyway just to piss him off.

[tms-bad-ending-ep]

I've got some more art I need to post related to The Bad Ending Epilogue, but here's a couple doodles-

1: Redesigns of their humanoid forms. Boss didn't change lmao but Mark's color pallet is slightly lighter and Ben's has some tweaks as well to pull it all together more.

2: Again, redesigns, but of their inner demon forms.

3: Mark having the zoomies- part of his inner demon will come out sometimes when he's in his element and causing chaos lmao. (That happens A LOT. It really is hell for Boss lol.)

[tms-bad-ending-ep]

I don't know if it's possible for Boss to be redeemed considering all the abuse he put Mark through, but will he get character development?

"Seeking atonement" as it's called, is complex within this universe- There's a very long and hard process damned souls will need to go through in order to reach Limbo, where their souls will then be allowed a re-trial.

Though I can't give away exact specifics of exactly what happens with his character, because that'll just spoil most of what goes on in the story, I will say that Boss's character in The Bad Ending Epilogue goes through some significant changes, though very slowly, and very gradually.

[tms-bad-ending-ep]

His LEDs need recharging lmao (also i've got more BE:E art where this comes from, i've been drawing it a lot lately)

So random lore - In Hell, there's no real 'sleep.' There's only rest. When demons are low on energy, their aura (the glowing parts of their bodies) will begin to dim, indicating their weakened state, and making them an easy target in the primal landscape that is Hell.

(The reason why the shackle isn't affected is because it isn't a part of Mark or Boss individually per say- the energy of the curse is eternal, it can't fade... Not unless-)

(also if you wanna ask questions about the lore/worldbuilding/etc, please go over to @tms-bad-ending-ep!! i got a lot i can talk about lol)

Luke on Mark's judgement day be like

[tms-bad-ending-ep]

Lots of random personal TMS doodles that I haven't posted here:

Song is below!! it reminds me so much of Ben after the bad ending / in Bad Ending Epilogue :0 Like fr it is actually him

(entire change of mood lmao) The nintendo switch was released really close to Mark's 16th birthday (March 2017) so I had to make art based on that lol, he definitely begged Darcy for one.

This will be finished before the month ends!! (also Ben, wtf is your problem with Kenny?? why won't you put your arm around him?? :()

mark reed mental breakdown 57 (adult version)

this has a deeper meaning but it actually looks funny looking back at it, like they gotta make everything a whole ordeal lol

OK THATS ALL FOR NOW i'll answer some of the stuff in my inbox later tonight :D

[tms-bad-ending-ep]

Been a while since this blog got a new post! Wanting to know, what are everyone's honest opinions so far on The Bad Ending Epilogue as a concept? Haven't been focusing on it too much since for me it's just a fun thing to develop outside of the main series and I don't plan for it to really be anything more than a fun little side thing, but I'd like to know.

[tms-bad-ending-ep]

I know Mark's demon-animal form is supposed to be a pig-snake hybrid, but what is Boss supposed to be?? A bird-goat hybrid ??

He's a bull-rooster!

[tms-bad-ending-ep]

..........Aaaand everything only goes downhill from here.

[tms-bad-ending-ep]

Wait what?!,Kenny convince Jon to cut Ben off???

Technically, both Kenny, Jon, and even Ash sort of silently detached themselves from Ben, and Ben soon felt the karma hit him hard! (Oh hey, this reminds me of someone... Maybe history is repeating itself.) At the time of Mark and Ben being '''close''' again (I use close really loosely, it was mostly one sided, with Mark pretty much just tolerating Ben,) Ben wasn't really in contact with the others, they cut him off as much as they could, whenever they had to see him they were mostly just tolerating him. (because as you know, Ben and Jon are brothers, they can't actually truly leave one another)

But all of THAT is pre-ending stuff. That happens regardless of if it's the Good or Bad ending. It's just canon.

In the Bad Ending Epilogue specifically though, when Mark committed his murder suicide on Boss and himself, and when the others had learned of it, they remembered back to when they were teenagers, back when Ben had mentioned that Mark admitted he was being abused by Boss, but had told everyone that he was making it a bigger deal than it needed to be, and that he was just lying and exaggerating things to make people him bad for him, as he often did. (Since Mark had confessed all of that at the time of the two kissing, which inevitably lead to him and Ash breaking up the first time, Ben used this against him out of spite) Upon remembering all of that, yeah... They did NOT take kindly to it. They knew that if it wasn't for Ben, maybe they could have done something. They left Ben's ass for good after that.

did i mention the bad ending wasn't only about the people who died

[tms-bad-ending-ep]

I'm still confused,is this spinoff canon to the Original series or is it's own thing?

Pretty much up to your individual interpretation, comparatively similar to the debate over whether the "bad ending" or "good ending" is the 'canon' one. I separated it into a spinoff due to the fact that regular TMS is entirely grounded in reality and the Bad Ending: Epilogue essentially breaks that rule completely due to the whole demons / angels / magic stuff its got going on. I do believe that establishing a world that has no mentions of such and then suddenly introducing it out of nowhere is a bit of a culture shock to say the least...?

If you wanna see it as canon to the og series go for it! Or if you'd rather see it as its own thing or an AU that's also up to you, the official ending of the bad ending is the moment Mark dies anyway, anything after that is considered part of the epilogue.

[tms-bad-ending-ep]

Will there be any other characters in this as demon or angels who are from the regular series?

Yes :)

[tms-bad-ending-ep]

is "A Sadness Runs Through Him" pmv still canon to the epilogue?

Short answer: Mostly no.

Long answer: I am actually working on a complete remake of that video!! It'll cover a lot of the loose ends that I opened up when starting to develop the spinoff a bit more. I originally made the older video before I really had a straight forward idea of what I would do with the continuation of the bad ending, but I have got it all figured out now, it's just a matter of having people along for the ride from here on out. >:)

[tms-bad-ending-ep]

Short little comic that I had I drew up quick on a whim. This is supposed to take place sometime in the earlier days of Mark and Boss’s super-epic-and-fun-not-life-threatening-at-all hell time. (Also, what the guy in panel 1 is referring to is Mark’s sleeves, which have a splatter pattern. You can differentiate killers this way in Hell, it’s supposed to symbolize how they ‘died with blood on their hands.’)
