whooo! i finally drew some things for this au im DEEP into. based HEAVILY on @babbybones‘ “dark princes” theory and “wrong prince” au, this is a set of alternate universes in which the secret bosses take the place of ralsei and instead ralsei becomes a secret boss. based on the theory jevil and spamton were “prototype ralseis”, originally contacted by gaster to become guides, but failed to meet the requirements.

image transcript under the cut!!

[a set of eight images. the first depicts ralsei, a goat-like furry monster wearing a wizard robe and hat, as well as glasses and a scarf. ralsei appears sinister, with a shadow being cast over his eyes, his glasses having a shining reflection, obscuring his pupils. his robe is torn in some places, specially at the heart/spade symbol he has on his chest, making it appear to be a broken heart. the tip of his scarf is lifting up in the air, contorting into a sharp, scythe-like shape. next to him are two arrows that branch off. the first contains a “fight” icon depicted by a sword, and its outcome is depicted by his scarf contorted in that same scythe-like shape with a pointy end. it is called the “scythescarf” and is described as: “a scarf that can magically contort itself into a scythe. stay cozy even when desperate!”. the other arrow is accompanied by a “spare” icon depicted by an X, and its outcome is a headband with horns on it, called the “horned headband”, described as: “a headband that casts a particularly strong shadow. feels nostalgic”.

the second image depicts jevil, a round little grey devil wearing jester clothes. he is holding a staff in his left hand called the “suitestaff”, which appears as a cane with a striped pattern and at its top, four symbols attached together: a heart, a spade, a diamond, and a club. to his right are a list of spells he knows: healing hearts, which heals; defensive diamonds, which heightens defense; crushing clubs, which deals damage, and sleepy spades, which causes sleep.

the third image depicts spamton, a doll-like long nosed humanoid with angel wings and hair that resembles feathers. he is wearing a red bowtie, a black bodysuit, and a sheer robe that is half yellow, half pink. he is holding a golden harp with rainbow strings called the ownstrings harp, and there are spells listed next to him: angel’s hand, which heals; big shot, which does damage; and heaven’s moons, which causes sleep.

the fourth image depicts this au ralsei at different moments. to the top left, he appears incredulous, pupils slightly visible through his glasses, as he stares at someone offscreen. he says “the lightners? what are you doing here?” to the right, he is jumping up, his scarf assuming its dangerous scythe form, as he declares: “i’ll prove to you i’m better than that clumsy clown! and then i’ll be part of your team!”. to the lower left, he appears defeated, kneeling down and looking downwards as a spotlight shines on him. the words battle won! hover above him. under him is his dialogue, as he says: “ah... i see. you three really do make the perfect team. i’m sorry, i was mistaken. we weren’t meant to be friends.”

the fifth and sixth images depict the party’s varying reactions to the sycthescarf. the scythescarf is a weapon only equippable by susie, and she will always say “comfy and deadly. nice.” and it gives her +4 attack and + 6 magic. when trying to equip it to kris, susie will wonder if it just purred at kris. jevil or spamton will also comment on it. jevil says: “are you happy now?” and spamton says “did you finally get [all you could ask for and more]?” when trying to equip it to either jevil or spamton, jevil will say: “ow, stop strangling me! i’m sorry, sorry!” and spamton will say “ouch, [cursing], stop it! no [strangling] allowed!”

the seventh and eighth images depict the party’s varying reactions to the horned headband, a piece of armor equippable by all. it will always give +5 def and heal every turn, but its cosmetic effect changes between characters. when kris equips it, their nostalgia value goes up, and susie will comment on how close they are holding it to themself. jevil will say “old friends... ?” whereas spamton will say “oh, were you already [friend request accepted]?”. when equipping it to susie, she will say “figure i’d grow these some day”, and her bad idea value will go up. when equipping it to jevil he will say “two pairs of horns, double the mischief, uaheehehe!” and his bad idea value will go up. when equipping it to spamton instead, he will say “play as a rebellious half angel half devil in this award winning rpg!” and his coolness value will go up.

Joey (TIOL): “I didn't think moralizing was particularly realistic. People don't see the world as one populated by do-gooders. I thought of the angel in my play. She could never be a lead character.” Susie (audiolog): “Sammy says she may be as popular as Bendy some day.” Norman (DCTL): “The cartoons do okay for a while, after Henry leaves. Alice was popular for a beat. So was the original actress, Susie.”

what if.... susie...... was TOO good...... What if a big reason Joey wanted Susie replaced was actually because she was such a good fit for the part, that Alice was starting to outshine Bendy?

-- Additional Thoughts:

- in Shawn’s audiolog, he is clearly looking for feedback on what to do about the mountains of Alice Angel merch he can’t sell (which def backs up the idea that she was previously popular, a lot of toys were made to meet demand, and then suddenly NOT popular, like, say, if the voice actress was suddenly switched or something) -- Joey apparently completely ignores this problem to focus, instead, on the few Bendy dolls that aren’t quite perfect

- According to the Employee’s Handbook, the memo letting everyone know that Allison was taking over as Alice Angel was withheld from Susie specifically, which led to her finding out second-hand. If Joey took it personally that Bendy was being upstaged, that could be a reason he’s so weirdly, intentionally cruel in the way he dismisses Susie from the role.

- And then the weird gap of time (at least 3 years) between Susie being kicked off the part and being offered the “opportunity” with the ink machine ritual is enough time for Joey to stop being sore about it and realise that if Susie was SO perfect for the role before, maybe she’s the one who can make this thing work

#we all write on the walls #susie campbell #Bendy and the Ink Machine #batim #alice angel #this is one where u have to read between the lines a lot but I FEEL LIKE IT KINDA FITS????#and seems...... like something joey would do.........#the canon crew

More of the FNF Tuesday Midnight Twirling AU (TMT)

So, I'm considering Swapping/Twirling the Main Eddsworld cast with Vs Mario Madness characters (I mean the characters in the mod I know they're not form FNF despite it being my introduction to them) If I did this, this would probably be the swap roster for them (it's a concept so not set in stone):

Tord: I hate you Luigi

Matt: Wario Apparition/Wario head

Tom: Beta Luigi or Racist Mario (yes I saw the OG animation for Racist Mario-)

Edd: Mario.EXE and MX (He'd take both their roles, the Edd as Mario.EXE would take a resemblance to the normal one while the one as MX would be closer to Future Edd in resemblance)

If this swap gets set in stone (Which it's not it's only a concept right now) than who could be Beta Luigi could be Ghost Jon if Tom takes Racist Mario's role, but if he takes Beta Luigi's role Racist Mario's role can be filled with this here clone from Spares (I'mma nickname him scribbles for now)

And note that if the Ghost Jon ends up as Beta Luigi instead of Jon in the neighbors gang (Quick reminder that they swap/twirl with the Hatzgang form Spooky Month) there would be a Tord neighbor named Todd in his place instead cause ya know, ded

GB from the FNF mod could probably be Ringo, and she'd still be Edd's cat

I'm trying to swap everyone from the mod (which I know is not their origins, I'm just trying to use all of the characters used in it) same thing with the Sonic.EXE but I don't have a fully functional roster yet, but on the topic of the Sonic.EXE mod, I have more swap concepts for that too,

We all know Radford is Sonic.EXE which is set in stone,

But here are the new ones which are not, its enough to complete the roster but it's not fully functional yet due to them being only concepts:

Sunky.MPEG: Skid and Pump

Lord X: Kevin

Majin Sonic: Maybe Frank?

Soul Tails: Rick

Soul Knuckles: Lila(?)

Soul Robotnick: Jaune(??)

Sanic.EXE: Candy Dealer(???????)

Tails Doll: Susie

Fleatway Super Sonic: Also Radford (This is set in stone unlike the others)

I know there is more coming to the Sonic.EXE Roster but this is enough to fill the latest playable update's roster so it's a full one for now (Until the update that adds the new guys comes-)

Honestly i want to see a tv show of Undertale. Like. The characters in Undertale and Deltarune could work extremly well in a comedy show with little or no overall narrative, maybe similar to spongebob.

Undertale and deltarune do have a lot of dark moments, and seeing those dark moments in the context of a tv show would be really cool. But even if it was just the characters hanging out it would be extremly entertaining.

Imagine episodes like

"Ultimate Cookdown of Ultimate Destiny", where Toriel, Sans, Mettaton and Papyrus partake in a cooking competition.

"Teatime", where Papyrus finds a doll and keeps it, but it starts to move on it's own... everyone thinks the doll's alive - but it's just Napstablook, the original owner of the doll, who wanted to get it back and was too shy to ask.

"Digital Love", where Alphys wants to invite Undyne to a ball, but the ball is canceled on the day of the date. So she and Mettaton have to organize a whole new ball in less than twelve hours.

"Krisday", where it's Kris birthday, but Toriel is out of town on a school trip. Asgore wants to celebrate, but he is a bit out of touch with them. So he asks for Susie's help to make them the best birthday party! Also Ralsei is there somehow.

"Your Best Friends", where Ralsei and Flowey get stuck in the backrooms of the universe, and they have to work together to get out. Shenanigans ensue.

This comes mainly from watching videos of people animating Spongebob lines with Undertale characters. Not only do the ones i've seen fit pretty well character-wise, but it shows how well the characters work in an animated show format.

#there's probably a webcomic dedicated to this already #or maybe even a fanmade animated series #and i bet theres lots of fanfic in this style #either way i really like it as a concept #undertale #deltarune

Through Susie's Eyes

I did this for the Writing Workshop Week 1: Show & Tell from @bettsfic and @books. Hope you guys enjoy!

Fandom: Supergirl

Characters: Original Character Susie The Doll, Kara Danvers, Eliza Danvers, Lena Luthor, Alex Danvers, Original Characters-Ari Arias and Jonas Arias

Summary: A doll is given to a teenage girl. Will she treasure it or think it is something trivial?

Word Count: 3401

Susie sat on the box counting the stokes the spider made on his web ahead of her. It was the only lively thing in this place in recent months. Or had it been years. It is really too hard to tell. She is in the attic after all. There is a window in front of her, but it is all smudged. You can only tell if it is night or day. She tried to listen for sounds, but heard none. She sighed. Once the younger girls had moved out of the house, no one was really ever around except the mother. However, that is barely true. She is only here to sleep and is then off to who knows where.

Susie felt a shift in the box she was sitting on. The side of the box had lost stability and began to tear. It caused the side of the box that Susie was on to dip and she fell down to the ground. She fell on her side grateful that the box also didn’t come tumbling down on her. She looked in front of her and saw her reflection in the mirror. She knew that her looks had degraded, but didn’t know it had gotten this bad. Her button eyes were sagging, her dress was torn, her red hair was missing in chunks and the ones that were left were frazzled, her shoes were scuffed, and her hands (or could she even call them hands since she didn’t have fingers), had small puffs of cotton coming out. Her blue ribbons were completely missing and the trim of her dress was now a grayish color. She always hated that mirror because it showed her imperfections every single time. Looking at herself made her think about what she looked like in her former glory when she met her person, Kara.

Long Ago

Susie was in a box with the other Susie dolls at the Tree General Store. All of them looked the same: red braided pigtails with a blue ribbon at the end, a blue long sleeve dress with a white ribbon going around the middle, white trim going around the end of the sleeves and the bottom of the dress, white socks, black penny loafer shoes, black button eyes, a red button nose, and a black stitch smile. The dream of a doll was to be picked by their person and go to their forever home. The waiting was brutal. She heard of dolls having to wait years to be picked by their person.

Susie felt fortunate that she was only on the shelf for a week. The mother had picked her up. Usually, most parents are happy or at least content picking up the toy for their child. However, she noticed that this mom looked really sad and a little bit frazzled.

“Bringing a child a doll should be a joyous occasion,” thought Susie as they headed to the checkout line.

Despite this perplexing display of emotion, Susie couldn’t help but be excited about the child she was about to meet. She dreamed of all the new toys she would get to meet and all the tea parties they would get to have. She snapped out of her daydream when she realized the car had stopped.

The mother took her inside. It was a nice house from what Susie could tell. There was a spacious living room. They ended up making a stop in the kitchen. The mother took her out of the box and placed her into a pink small bag surrounded by tissue paper.

“This is it! I will finally meet my person!” thought Susie excitedly.

Susie could tell they were on the move again and that it sounded like they were heading up some stairs. After a little bit, she heard a knock.

“Kara, is it okay if I come in”

“You can come in, Eliza,” said Kara softly.

Susie heard the mother shuffle forward, but then stopped. It was silent for a minute until Susie felt the bag being handed over to Kara.

“I know that you have been having nightmares since you have gotten here. I know this isn’t much, but I thought it would help.”

“Nightmares. That is terrible. I hope I can bring some comfort to this child,” thought Susie.

She felt hands go into the bag and wrap around her waist pulling her up. As she faced her new person, they both stared at each other baffled. Well, if Susie could make faces it would be one of bafflement. Before her was not a child, but a teenage girl. She had heard horror stories about them. They were at the age where they grew out of playing with any toy and focus on more trivial things like make up, boys, and fashion. She felt her heart sink at the possibility that she may be thrown out a lot sooner than she thought.

Kara looked up to the mother and said, “Why did you give me a doll?”

The mother looked down nervously and said, “I know it may be silly. However, when i was younger, I had frequent nightmares. One thing that helped me through them was my doll Lilly.”

“But this thing can’t do anything!”

The mother sighed and said, “Sometimes, the best thing anyone can ask for is someone to listen.”

She kissed Kara’s forehead before heading out of the room.

Kara stared back perplexed at Susie.

Kara shook her head and said, “I don’t know why she thinks a doll can solve my problems.”

“I can listen though,” Susie thought hopefully.

“It is not like you can stop the nightmares of seeing my home planet explode every single night. You can’t stop the feeling I get that I am being followed by the phantoms from the phantom zone after staying there for so long. You can’t bring my family b…”

Kara broke into tears. She brought Susie into her chest hugging her hard. She then curled into little ball on her bed. Susie was shocked that a girl so young has gone through so much tragedy. She wished there was more that she could do for Kara, her person. All she can do is be by her side and be a sounding board.

Kara held her in her arms until she fell asleep. Susie wished for her sweet dreams. The next morning, she watched Kara wake up with a baffled look on her face.

“No nightmares,” said Kara bewildered.

She looked down at Susie and smiled.

“I guess Eliza was right about you.”

If Susie could smile, she would.

“I am not going to be thrown out!” she thought excitedly.

As much as she wished for having tea parties and other toys to talk with, Susie was happy with the groove that she and Kara developed. At the end of each day before bed, she would tell Susie about her day. It was mostly school and boys. It sounded like survival of the fittest to Susie, but Kara seemed to enjoy it. As Susie spent more time with Kara, she realized that she wasn’t your everyday child. She had a tendency of breaking things easily. Desk, chairs, walls, etc. You name it, she had at least broken it once. Normally, Susie would just think she was a klutz, but some of the things that she did seemed beyond human.

Susie didn’t really think anything of Kara’s behavior until she watched them float to the ceiling one night. Susie initially thought it was the phantoms Kara had talked about until Kara woke up and yelped. They instantly fell back to the bed.

“I can fly,” said Kara with a smile.

Susie watched as Kara proceeded to try to jump off the bed and fly but no success. After the twelfth time, she huffed and clutched Susie in her chest.

“I know I didn’t just imagine this,” huffed Kara.

She turned Susie over so that she was looking her directly in the face and asked, “You saw it, didn’t you Susie? I flew. I wonder if Clark would be willing to…”

She sighed as she fell on the bed while holding Susie.

“He barely sees me now. Why did I even think he could help me,” muttered Kara.

Susie hated whoever this Clark person was. Every time Kara mentions him the spirit always drains out of her eyes. She wishes she could provide more comfort to her. However, all she could do was watch.

Susie didn’t know how Kara did it, but she figured out how to fly. Whenever her sister Alex didn’t want to go with her, she would take Susie to fly at night. Sometimes they would just fly though the sky looking at the constellations. Other times, they would fly to the beach and sit in the sand making sand castles or just sit watching the waves roll in. Susie enjoyed these times with Kara the most because it was when Kara was the most at peace with herself. Her blue eyes would sparkle and the smile on her face just screamed joy. She admired how Kara went from being a scared teenager to a young adult.

“An adult,” Susie sighed.

For toys like Susie, the worse thing than watching your child become a teenager was to watch them become an adult. Some toys are lucky to stay with their person through their teenage years, but to stay as an adult. That was never heard of. As Kara’s graduation from high school grew closer, Susie dreaded it. She knew soon that she was going to meet her fate. A couple of days before Kara went to college, Susie was put face up in a box with a random assortment of items.

“I am being given away,” thought Susie sadly.

She felt the box on the move until everything stopped. She then felt them start driving.

“Let’s hope that I will be picked up by another girl that needs help,” thought Susie hopefully.

Susie was lost in thought until she felt the car stopped. Her heart sank that this was it. She felt them begin to move a while until they stopped and felt the box being placed on a hard surface. She watched the box open and was startled at what she saw: Kara.

She grabbed Susie and placed her on the desk next to her bed.

“I didn’t get left behind!”

If Susie could cry tears of joy, she would. She didn’t know what she did to deserve Kara. She talked to Susie less since entering college. She was busy with making new friends, doing new activities, and school. However, the conversations that they did have were more meaningful. Kara didn’t have a sense of direction of what she wanted to do in college. Susie thought that it had to do with Clark though. Kara would talk about her love of literature, writing, meeting new people, and fighting for people’s rights. She would be a perfect journalist. Susie would watch Kara make diagrams that took up the whole wall on what careers she could do. All Susie could do is sigh when she watched her do this.

“I hope she realizes that being in journalism won’t make her like that jerk Clark,” thought Susie.

It took Kara three years of denial, but Susie was glad that Kara came to the conclusion that journalism was the correct path all on her own. Once Kara embraced her career choice, she soared in all of her classes. She even got an internship at a famous magazine. Kara would often come back from the internship complaining about her boss, but overall loving the experience. Susie was just happy to see that Kara was finding her way in life.

One thing that Susie didn’t like is when people would come over. Sometimes, when people came over, Kara would turn her over and wrap a ribbon around her eyes and ears. She would stay like that until her guest left. Kara would always look flushed when she finally took the ribbons off of her.

“I hope you didn’t hear anything that would scar you for life Susie,” Kara chuckled.

She would say that every time. Susie wished she knew what it meant. She just hated the feeling that she was being put in time out. However, when she looked at Kara, it made her wonder if she was doing it for her benefit. At least, she hoped she was.

Soon Kara was graduating college. As she watched Kara leave for the ceremony in her black and gold gown, she wondered if she would be able to see what type of adult she will become as she gets older. She didn’t know what to expect. No toy she knew of has gotten this far.

“I don’t think she would abandon me now though,” thought Susie hesitantly.

As she sat in thought, she didn’t realize Kara came back until she placed her on top of a box and carried her out to the car. They drove back to her home. When they arrived, she placed her and the box at the door, and then she went to eat. Kara then left to meet with some friends. After a little bit, the mother came down and took the box and her to the attic.

As she saw the mother walking away leaving her there, Susie tried to scream, “No, I am meant to be with Kara. Don’t leave me here!”

However, no one could hear her screams. There, Susie has sat waiting for Kara’s return.

Present Day

As Susie laid on the dusty floor, she wondered if Kara even thinks of her and sighs.

“I hope that wherever you are, you are happy.”

Suddenly, Susie hears the attic door hope. She hears footsteps coming towards her and then stops.

“Are you sure you left her up here?”

A moment of silence happens before the footsteps continue.

“You don’t have to yell. It is just no one has seen her in years. I will be….Okay, Okay, I will look.”

The person starts walking again until their feet are now in her view. The person picked her up and Susie was surprised to see it was Alex.

Alex picked back up the phone and said, “I found Susie, but she is in bad shape.”

She remained silent a couple of minutes while listening to the other person on the other end. Susie wished she could hear what the other person was saying.

After a couple of more minutes, Alex sighed and said, “I know what to do.”

She disconnected the call and stared at Susie with a frown on her face.

“I was hoping you were in a better state. However, we still have time to get you ready before they arrive.”

“Who are they? What are you going to do to me?” thought Susie terrified.

After being in the attic for so long, parts of her wondered if they were going to send her off to a second hand shop or even worse, a garbage dump. Susie laid in despair as Alex brought them down to the kitchen. Susie watched as Alex went and brought back a sewing kit. She gradually fixed her eyes and sewed her new hair. She then took off her clothes and shoes, and placed Susie in the washer machine.

Susie hated the washer machine. It was dizzying and she couldn’t see what was going on with all the soap suds everywhere. The water made her body heavy. The only positive thing about the experience was that she didn’t have any dust or webs on her anymore. When Alex took her out, she thought the nightmare was over until she put her in the dryer. It made her lighter again, but it made her disoriented and hot. Once she got out of the dryer, she was really out of it. It took her a couple of minutes to realize that she was facing the phone and could see her reflection. She squealed internally with joy. She looked like her former self. Her dress looked like it was brand new, her pigtails were back, the trim on her dress were white and she now had ribbons. Her arms no longer had cotton coming out of them.

“I took the photo mom, and I sent it to you….Yes, I think they are going to love this.”

Alex turned to Susie with a smile and said, “You are really going to make a couple of people’s day.”

She placed Susie in a pink bag with tissue paper. It reminded her of the day she met Kara. She wonders if the people that Alex talked about were as nice as her. Susie thought that they were going to leave, but surprised they stayed in the kitchen. She suddenly hears a knock. Alex gets up and leaves her in the kitchen. Susie waits nervously.

“I got extremely lucky with Kara. Hopefully, these new people will be just as great,” thought Susie hopefully.

Susie suddenly felt the bag begin to move. They don’t move far though. A hand comes into the bag and picks her up. Once she gets out, she is overjoyed. In front of her is Kara with tears streaming down her face. She instantly hugs Susie very tightly.

“I thought that I lost you,” cried Kara.

Susie beamed inside. Kara never forgot about her. She just couldn’t find her. Kara looked up at Alex with a joyous expression on her face.

“Where did you find her?”

“She was in the attic.”

Kara frowned and said, “The attic? I never placed her there.”

Alex sighed and said, “I think mom did it by accident. I think she thought that you wanted Susie in storage with the rest of your things.”

“I think she did it on purpose,” Susie sulked to herself.

Kara scoffed at Alex and said, “As if I would put Susie in storage.”

Another woman came into Susie’s view and said, “So this is the infamous Susie.”

“Yes, Lena. The very one that Kara accused me of throwing away over the years which she still hasn’t apologized for.”

Kara sighed and said, “I am sorry. I should have known you wouldn’t do something like that. I think that I was just mad that I couldn’t find her and you were an easy target.”

Alex patted her on the back and said, “I understand. I know how much that doll means to you.”

“Do you really think that Alexa will like her though?” asked Lena,

Kara smiled proudly and said, “Alexa will love her. Susie is the best. She listens to your problems and makes everything better.”

“Really?” chuckled Lena.

“I know it sounds silly. However, when I first came to earth, I didn’t have an outlet. It was just nice to talk to her knowing that she was there to listen and not judge.”

Lena kissed Kara on the forehead and said, "I am glad to hear that darling.”

Kara looked down beaming at Susie and said, “Now it is time to introduce you to someone special.”

Kara brought Susie over to the couch where sat two car seats. One had a baby girl with black hair and green eyes that was clutching a brown bear. The other seat had a baby girl with blonde hair and blue eyes that was a little fussy.

“Wonder if she will throw Susie like every toy we have tried to give her,” murmured Lena.

Kara chuckled while shaking her head. She sat on the couch and pulled the blonde girl out of the car seat. She placed Susie in the baby girl’s arms.

“Alexa, I want you to meet Susie. She is the best friend and listener you will ever meet.”

Alexa looked down and smiled at Susie and grabbed her into a hug. Kara looked up at Lena with a smug look on her face.

“I told you she would like her.”

“Yes, you did. I am glad that we finally found something she likes,” said Lena, smiling softly.

Susie felt overjoyed. Not only did she get returned to Kara again, but now she will be a special friend to her daughter too. She knew that she could always depend on Kara, and she hoped that she could provide her daughter with the same level of comfort that she provided to Kara when she was younger.

Do you have any bendy and the ink machine headcanons?

Boy Anon, do I ever! A lot of them are still under the works, so I'll focus on the characters that I've thought most about.

Joey, Henry, Sammy and Norman.

---

[[MORE]]

--Joey Drew--

Came from a heavily Catholic and strict family that wanted him to either pursue a career in medicine or law. He had a rough time getting along with his family since they didn't encourage his creativity, and the religious beliefs they force-fed him from an early age had a bit of an impact on the themes he had an interest in.

Due to his background and bizarre interests Joey was a bit of a loner and misfit as a kid. Henry Stein was his only true friend since childhood, so Joey was a little protective of him. This protectiveness became an unhealthy possessiveness as they grew up.

He and Henry actually started the studios in their early thirties. Both were job hoppers for a while, adrift and unfulfilled. Once Joey figured out how to use their combined skills and creativity to make a profit, the nightmare that was Joey Drew Studios came into being.

Joey rejected Bendy's original design because he saw demons as entities of mischief and misfortune. The more cutesy kind smile simply didn't convey the chaotic energy Joey associated with such beings. Boris was also reworked to go from a naked intelligent wolf to a goofier/dumber one wearing overalls. Henry wasn't particularly happy with either change but went with it to please his friend.

Alice Angel and the Butcher Gang were also designed by Henry, but Joey disliked the idea of adding a female counterpart to the show, and wasn't particularly fond of the much nicer original concepts of Charley, Barley and Edgar. He would alter the concepts later on to better fit the themes he employed in the show.

Initially they worked alone but, when they began working on Boris' debut episode, Joey realized they needed something to add a certain flair to their work: Music and better filmwork. In a matter of weeks a team of two became a team of four with the hiring of Samuel Lawrence and Norman Polk.

Ever since Linda started dating Henry, Joey began feeling like his best pal wasn't giving 100% to the studio (and to Joey himself). As such he began to give Henry more and more work to ensure he devoted his attention to the cartoons. This ultimately lead to Henry quitting.

Joey was angry when Henry married Linda, thinking his friend had chosen "some girl" over their bond. He refused to go to their wedding due to this "betrayal" and has held a grudge since.

During the rise and decline of the studio, Joey went from charming his way out of trouble and into people's hearts, to downright criminally manipulative. The employees that managed to quit, often found themselves blacklisted from the work market, and those who stayed knew Joey could destroy them with the right words. It's why so many stayed in the end...

When the Ink Machine didn't work the way he wanted and he found himself stuck with the responsibility of fixing what he'd done, there had been a fraction of a chance for redemption on Joey's part. Joey considered giving his soul to the Ink Demon so it'd end the nightmare for good. However upon finding the wedding invitation Henry had sent him all those years ago, Joey had a change of heart for the worst. After all what soul could be better to fix the demon, than that of its original creator?

--Henry Stein--

Henry Stein didn't know what he was getting himself into when he met and befriended Joey Drew. He'd always been the soft-spoken friendlier of the two, so their dynamic as friends was pretty well rounded up, until Joey became obcessed with becoming successful, as well as his overprotective nature slowly evolving into a controlling possessiveness.

Henry came from a pretty average family. They weren't exactly well-off but there was never a day or night without food on the table. He grew up aware of the value of money and how to spend it wisely, a skill he never got to employ at the studio because Joey had full control of finances. He had a feeling the studio was doomed to flop and was actually quite surprised to hear it chugging along "just fine" after he'd left. The various scandals didn't surprise him.

Henry was a little hurt when Joey declined his invitation to his and Linda's wedding, but he assumed his childhood friend would get over it. He was terribly wrong.

His original concepts for Bendy and Co. were of a cute little devil trying to do good to ascend to heaven, a fatherly wolf that would help the little devil darling, an angel sent to test the devil's intentions as a moral compass, and a trio of friends that would often be a part of Bendy's various trials. Joey's redesigns and reworks of their roles never really agreed with him, especially when he made the kind Charley, amicable Barley, and playful Edgar into villains.

He was drafted to fight in the war and came back with a slightly paralyzed face. He's ashamed of the slightly permanent lopsided smile on his face, as he always thought of it as an ugly smirk and a reminder of things he'd much rather like to forget. His vision was also slightly damaged so he wears very thick glasses, and he has a slight limp.

Joey's letter gave him hope for rekindling their broken friendship. He really thought Joey had finally come around and given up on his childish grudge. He was horrifically mistaken.

Henry is 67 in-game. Coupled with his injuries from the war and you get an old tired man that can neither run fast or see too well. His stubbornness is the only thing keeping him alive and going, that and his desire to return to his wife and kids.

--Samuel Lawrence--

He was raised in the South by his very strict Catholic father, and his kindly mother. He ended up moving to the big city with his father at age 11, after his mother died of tuberculosis. His mother having been the kinder and more patient parent meant that Sammy didn't have much of a good influence growing up, as his father wasn't particularly abusive but had strongly bigoted views that rubbed off on him. His father remarried when Sammy was 24 and, although he had a strong dislike for his step-mother, he tried to be patient with her as per his father's wishes. This dislike grew into animosity when she'd berate him for the smallest things, like calling him a sissy for pursuing a musical career, or even the way he kept his hair. He was upset when she became pregnant with his younger step-sister, feeling like he'd be dragged into providing for his aging father, witch of a step-mother and a kid he might not even get along with.

Sammy was genuinely upset when his father passed away, as it meant he'd lost who he considered to be his true family. He was forced to spend more time with his step-mother, and often cared for his little sister as a result (growing very fond of her in the end). When his step-mother died in a freak accident, Sammy became his sister's official caregiver. A chore he felt had been forced upon him, but that he took on nontheless because he didn't feel right just dumping a two year old into an orphanage. It was the need to provide for himself and a baby that ultimately lead to him falling into Joey Drew's clutches.

Originally there were three other candidates for his position at the studio. Sammy was picked due to being younger and easier to manipulate.

Although not the easiest person to get along with, Sammy could be respectful when he tried. His upbringing made it very difficult to look past race and sexuality, but later on as his sister grew up she urged him to try being nicer to other people. This ultimately began to fail when the studio began to descend into madness, especially around the time Buddy was hired.

For his sister's seventh birthday Sammy made an odd request to one Shawn Flynn. He wanted to gift her a Bendy doll that didn't have the unnerving grin painted on. Shawn provided him with a doll that was a blend of Bendy and Boris, which Sammy's sister named Seamus the Singing Demon. That little doll's odd composition stuck with him, even if he can no longer remember it...

He had a very strange relationship with Norman Polk as a result of working closely with him. They weren't exactly friends, but one couldn't exactly call them enemies either. Sammy's upbringing made him unjustly ruder towards the older man, and Norman's own odd behaviour made him hard to trust. At the end of the day they had a sort of fragile respect for one another's work. This respect couldn't save Norman from his terrible fate however...

He knew Henry for less than a year but he respected his fellow content creator. Later on Sammy often wondered if the co-founder wouldn't have been the one more worthy of keeping the studio afloat.

His romance with Susie Campbell was genuinely beautiful. At first he found her cheery disposition to be annoying, but her respect and kindness towards him eventually grew on him. His affection towards her was noticeable in comparison to how he treated others, and Joey knew to exploit it later on. When Susie left, the already stressed and overworked Sammy was left further distraught and vulnerable due to his personal life slowly getting messed up as well.

Sammy's transformation can be considered an outlier within the twisted studio. He wasn't put through the Ink Machine like the others, having instead ingested the corrupted ink in a freak accident. The amount he swallowed wasn't enough to transform him, but it was just enough to alter his mindset like a parasite. At the urging on the ink he took to consuming more and more of it, until he transformed into an abomination that was neither man nor toon. If any of the studio's workers could have their changes reversed, Sammy is a good candidate as, perhaps, one could purge the tainted ink from his system.

Sammy has very rare moments of lucidity which he spends trying to recall his fading memories. This often leads to him reverting back more quickly because his inability to focus on them distressed him enough that he falls back into the ink's grasp.

Sammy doesn't eat the soup he stockpiles, even if he craves it. He can't stomach regular food anymore, as it upsets his inky stomach. If he were to try he'd end up getting violently sick. The contrary can be said for ink however, and he sustains himself on the stuff. His memory issues and loss of identity are likely linked the the copious amounts of ink he's still consuming on a daily basis. He's the easiest person for the ink to control.

--Norman Polk--

Norman liked to consider himself a lucky guy. He grew up in a pretty poor neighbourhood and had to scrape by to get his education. He was a clever individual and often considered a bright man. With enough hard work he felt like he made his relatives in Louisiana proud. Turns out Joey Drew didn't like bright individuals...

As one the oldest member of staff (he was 46 when he started working at the studio) he was often the voice of reason in the earlier days, alongside Henry. Most of the newer staff didn't mind him at first, but when Norman's odder behaviours became more noticeable people started finding him either creepy or hard to trust.

He butted heads with Sammy several times, disliking the younger man's racist comments towards him. Being forced to work together so closely and a little outside urging helped them kinda resolve that tension. But their truce was a fragile one that amounted to nothing when Sammy was driven insane by the ink.

He was married and had a daughter. In the current game timeline he has several grandkids. He also has several nieces and nephews, one of which is friends with Sammy's sister (much to the latter's initial dislike).

Out of the first core team, Norman considered Henry a friend, had a weird feeling about Joey, and bickered heavily with Sammy. Later on he grew to enjoy Wally's mischievous personality, Shawn's rambunctious self, Susie's sweet disposition, Jack's skittishness and Buddy's friendliness. He felt like he failed them when the studio went to hell.

As the Projectionist Norman is deaf and visually impaired, needing his light to see movement. He used to be able to talk with the speaker on his chest, but his screams for help eventually short-circuited it. Early on he wasn't aggressive towards other creatures, which proved to be an exploitable weakness. He became uncontrollably aggressive out of fear and being a constant target of other monsters.

Before the Ink Demon kills him in every cycle, Norman recognizes Henry inside the Little Miracle station.

Undertale/Deltarune Theory: The Two Angels of The Prophecy

Since I’ve been playing Deltarune as of late, I thought I would share some very compelling details I’ve noticed in game that have been rolling around in my mind lately...

This is a theory pertaining both Undertale AND Deltarune, because I found connections between both of them interestingly enough. To start my theory off: I will begin with the very prominent theme in Deltarune of religion. There appears to be a strange emphasis on how religious the home town of Deltarune is, with everyone worshipping some deity called “The Angel.”

It seems to be done in such a manner, that it is building up that the town is worshipping some false God of sorts. The town itself feels very…off. A very ominous vibe to it, especially with the very creepy bunker to the south of town as well.

The question is.. who is this Angel..? To answer this question, we will have to dig deeper. Another notable theme in Deltarune, is that many items found in the Light World—represent places and people in the Dark World. It mirrors it, essentially.

In the light world school closet, the cards on the floor represent the card suite inhabitants/card castle. The plush doll represents Seam, etc. Additionally, the red horns in Kris’s house could symbolically represent Ralsei’s presence, with his little red horns.

However... even more interesting enough, is that in the town hospital can be found two angel dolls. One— that was made by Kris and Asriel, where they “wasted the whole time making big wings for it.”

And the other, which was made by Noelle and her friend—looked like a typical angel doll, only “it’s lack of facial features was unsettling.”

This appears to be clear symbolism for two different characters/angels... but whom? The first one, I believe matches the description of Asriel’s final form in Undertale perfectly: it has a rather disproportionate body, with huge over-sized, magnificent wings.

Additionally, Asriel’s final form matches up with the Deltarune of Gerson’s prophecy, with each part of his angel body aligning with the runes. Gerson also mentions an Angel in his prophecy, saying that it will free everyone from the underground—which Asriel does at the end of Undertale, with the power of the seven souls.

Then... who is the second angel, who is symbolically represented in the hospital? An angel we haven’t seen yet, but likely will at the end of Deltarune. Based off the evidence/implications given, I believe it is Gaster.

To begin, the second angel doll is described with a lack of features that makes it unsettling—which is very reminiscent of Gaster.

To build upon this, the angel of Undertale—Asriel— plays a focal point in Undertale’s story. He is not shown until the very end of the game, with the true ending, and is very mysterious at first. On top of this, many.. many songs in Undertale have the leitmotifs of Asriel’s theme: HIS theme.

Meanwhile, Deltarunes soundtrack is heavily focused around Lietmotifs of Gasters theme, with the intro song being called ANOTHER HIM... Another angel, if you will. This implies that he is going to play a heavy role in the story, which is very much seen on the surface level of Deltarune—with the involvement of the “strange knight” as well as the subtext with Jevils backstory, having met a man that made his vision of the world grow “Darker, yet darker” and made him go insane, as told by the tale Seam the shopkeeper tells the protagonist.

Additionally, the very first castle we see in the game--(not card castle, mind you) has wings on it... much akin to an angel’s, and is spewing a dark fountain forth from it.

At the end of the chapter of Deltarune, Susie shows clear concern that they did not get rid of the right fountain. One fountain—the original, brought the dark world its life. The other, an unnatural source of darkness to upset the balance. And Ralsei, strangely enough, eagerly directed Kris to get rid of the Card Castle fountain—not the one coming from the Angel’s castle. The Angel’s Castle is also an empty kingdom, with no subjects.. except Ralsei.

But who is the king? Nobody knows… And a very foreboding music plays in the castle town, adding to the mystery of it. Ralsei, who is quite suspicious enough as it is, (might go into this further in another theory later) will not let Kris inside the castle, stating that Kris must save the world/complete the prophecy first... and then they can come back. Ralsei acts very nervous and distraught when Kris keeps trying to enter the castle, and blocks him from going in. He then shuts Kris out of the kingdom gates, barring him off from going back inside--sinisterly enough.

Additionally, the plot of Deltarune is based off the prophecy, to “banish the Angels heaven”. This makes the Angel seem like a very malicious figure...but why? What are the Angels motives, and what is the “Angels heaven..?” Well, if you talk to Gerson in Undertale, he says an interesting bit of dialogue that could be interpreted a bit differently with my context/point of view. One could argue that he is talking about “the angel of hyper death”, Asriel, when he says the Angel of death, but I believe it not to be the case.

Gerson states the following:

“Lately, the people have been taking a bleaker outlook…callin that winged circle the “Angel of Death”.

A harbringer of destruction, and waitin to “free” us from this mortal realm…”

This seems like a much more sinister view of the Angel, and not like Asriel. Even though Asriel is very threatening, he is still pure of heart, and ends up saving all of Monsterkind in the end. The second angel however? Wants to “free” every one, and brings destruction in his wake. In Deltarune, we see much destruction and chaos being brought about by a strange “knight”, who appeared one day to take over the card kingdom and beyond, using the Chaos King to help him assert control.

Seam also mentions that he hasn’t seen this much chaos, since the incident that occurred with Jevil—which implies that the stranger and the strange mysterious knight are one and the same. So, what then is the meaning of “free us from this mortal realm…?”, from Gerson’s prophecy of the second angel? Well, interestingly enough: in Deltarune Jevil mentions this line of dialogue in his boss fight, which lines up perfectly with Gerson’s dark prophecy:

“I AM INNOCENT, INNOCENT. I JUST WANTED TO PLAY A GAME, GAME. BUT THE BORING KINGS FOUND SUCH FUN TO BE A TROUBLE. AS PUNISHMENT, THEY CRAVED TO IMPRISION MY BODY. THEY LOST THE CHASE, AND LOCKED UP THEIR ENTIRE RACE, BUILDING A PRISON AROUND THE WHOLE WORLD. NOW I’M THE ONLY FREE ONE”.

This is extremely significant, because Jevil was made aware by the Knight that the world is only a game, and that he can become “free” by ignoring the rules of the game, if you will—to become sentient of the game itself. This matches up perfectly with Gaster: who after being shattered across time and space by falling into his creation, became aware that the world was all just a game.

So why usurp the Dark World? Presumably, to make everyone aware that it is all just a game: to save them, from being stuck forever without choice. To make them free…done in a very twisted way of course, taking over the kingdom, locking up the rulers and all.

So why do this? After all he was a former scientist of Asgore’s in Undertale. This is where the symbolism comes in, that I noticed. Gaster seems to be a “fallen angel” of sorts. He was driven into madness after “falling” into his creation— after messing with the balance of things. What that is exactly, is unknown at this time. But it is implied that he discovered the presence of timelines, and tried to figure out how to manipulate them.

This in a sense, was an act against nature/trying to defy god by trying to figure out the interworking’s of the world’s universe.

Additionally, in Deltarune there is a repeated theme of a “shining light” that guides you—where you save your Soul at. In the bible, the fallen angel Lucifer, who defied God, is likewise represented with a “shining light”. In the files, Gaster is also associated with the number 666—which aligns with the prophecy of him being a dark, fallen angel.

One could even argue his font/name Wingdings is symbolic, from the wing in the name. It isn’t a stretch to say that Toby got some inspiration from the Bible--he has gotten many inspirations from Undertale from various sources, including Asriel’s symbolism from a Hebrew god/demon named Azrael.

To add unto this theory that links both Asriel and Gaster together as being both angels, is that both were striken by tragedy. Asriel was killed at a very young age, and is forever stuck in an endless purgatory in the body of a flower. Meanwhile, Gaster was forgotten by everyone, including the ones he held closest, and was shattered across time and space. Both characters are implied to have been driven to madness because of this, but with Asriel having a bit more heart/sympathy to him in the very end, (due to having the power of the human Souls to feel compassion again) and freeing all of monsterkind out of a deep care for Frisk.

Gaster on the other hand…? Seems to be a lot more unforgiving, and much more threatening, seen by his heavily implied actions in Deltarune, taking over kingdoms without mercy, and establishing his power in the Dark World.

Another notable feature between the two characters, is that they both have black markings on their faces, stretching down from their eyes—(Asriel’s markings are seen during his final boss fight.) What are these? Well…one datamined detail (sourced from the Deltarune reddit) from Deltarune might be the answer to this question.

Both Asriel and Gaster have gone through incredible suffering, so this “pain” could have essentially manifested into the black markings, similar to tears. In the beginning of Deltarune, with the player’s encounter with the narrator/ Gaster, (or at the very least heavily implied...he speaks in the exact same manner) he asks the player what their favorite food is. Two answers, that immediately stand out as strange and bizarre—are pain, and cold—which at first glance is just an off the wall comment/dialogue option, but upon second glance gives us a window into what he has gone through—painful suffering, much like Asriel did, on a plane of existence where they could do nothing. Both characters also have committed horrible actions, due to their fall into madness, (Asriel as Flowey, being stuck in a soulless vessel for ages,) and Gaster, due to existential madness from realizing the entire world is just a game, presumably overthrew an entire kingdom to “free” everyone.

(Almost forgot--) Additionally, another piece of dialogue which links together the Knight and the Angel being one and the same—is a dialogue seen from the Chaos King/Spade King himself. During the battle with him—he mentions multiple times how he obeys the word of the Knight, and with him he shall make a “new world out of Holy Shadows”, which backs up my theory even more, that the folks of the Light world are worshiping a false idol, a dark angel to destroy them all.

Sound familiar...?

I believe this is made all the more likely with Undertale being a mirror to Deltarune and vice versa—it would make all the more sense that each game would have an Angel character, considering each deals with a prophecy containing the Deltarune. One Angel of Light, and one of Dark.

EDIT: Here are some additional findings that make this come all together even more.

*In Undertale, every zone’s monsters reflect the boss monster of the area. (The monsters in Alphys zone are all anime related. The ones in Undyne’s zone are all muscular/into piano like her, etc...) the only area in the game that doesn’t make sense is Mettaton’s zone in the Core. The mobs don’t suit him at all: except when you realize that he wasn’t meant to be the true boss of the Core in the first place, since Alphys made him. If Gaster hadn’t died/become shattered across time and space, he would have been the likely boss monster of that area. What is notable, is that all of the enemies of the Core are primarily knights, mad, some of them use crosses as attacks, have wings, one of them uses a “Morningstar” as a weapon, (possible reference to Lucifer Morningstar) and you have to defeat some of the monsters by “praying”. Not symbolizing Mettaton at all—but rather Gaster, showing that the foreshadowing seen in Deltarune is indeed likely correct.

*The egg in Deltarune is a possible reference to the tale of Adam and Eve, as it aligns very well. A mysterious figure tempts someone behind a tree with a “fruit of knowledge”. Kris is offered the egg by “him”, presumably Gaster. Taking the egg to the Light-World doesn’t change it like all the other items in the game—it still exists in the Light-World—showing the forbidden knowledge that the world is all just a game. Even though it is a secret/not accessed by usual means, the egg is additionally a key item—that might prove more important by the end of the game.

I finally did it @gingerhastoomanyobsessions-- I made a list of Myers-Briggs types for Wait Until Dark. Because someone had to do it. (Naturally, I’m using the movie versions of the characters, but I think most of all this could apply to the original play too.)

Susy’s a clear-cut ESFJ. She’s very much a people person, upbeat, friendly, eager to please, protective of loved ones, but also sensitive to criticism, a bit clingy, and terrified of disappointing the important people in her life. ESFJs are also practical and responsible; Susy will get crap done, even if she’s not enthusiastic about it. The two big cognitive functions of the ESFJ-- extraverted feeling (making decisions based on how they will affect everyone else, accompanied by strong ideas of right and wrong) and introverted sensing (ability to remember data in detail and compare past data to current circumstances; the ability to make connections)-- fit well with Susy’s behavior and motivations.

I’ve always figured Roat is an ISTJ-- foregoing the usual “they’re loyal” (though I assume he’s a good employee to whatever organization he works for) or “they have a keen sense of morality”, he fits the rest of the bill. With few exceptions, he’s quite professional with his work. Organized, attentive to detail, reserved, efficient, shrewd, will get a job done without complaining. ISTJs tend to think they’re the smartest folks in the room and Roat has that arrogance dialed up to 11: you get the sense that he always assumes he’s two steps ahead of everyone else and prides himself on that.

I actually think Mike might be an ISTJ as well. He’s also practical, attentive to detail, and organized as well as cautious (remember how he checks out the apartment in detail the moment they set foot in there for the first time). Unlike Roat, he actually does have a sense of right and wrong-- not in the “good citizen” sense, but in that there are lines he won’t cross (like physically attacking Susy to make her give the doll to him). I’m not entirely sure about this though-- you might think differently.

Carlino is hard to type, but I’m going to go with ESTP. They like action, they’re good at improvising, they’re assertive and blunt, they’re well-represented in law enforcement.

Going to go with ESTJ for Sam (especially the “can be insensitive” part). As for Gloria, idk, kids are hard to type: I’m going to assume xSFP?

Going through a batim phase, here are some character head canons/bios.

Joey Drew:

- Started the company in the 20s when everything was good and easy and he did it with no idea of how to run a company

- thinks he's rich but he lives in a one bedroom apartment eating cold mac and cheese.

- has a really deluded perception of himself, he sees himself as a swanky bachelor with his own company but he's just broke guy that has bouts of psychosis

Sammy Lawrence:

-grew up on a farm so he is strong. While at the farm he played the fiddle but dreamed big and ventured to the big city of New York, because of his belief in dreaming big he made friends with Joey, who quickly employed him making him one of the older employees of the studio.

- He does have a particular fondness of things that remind him of home, like the banjo which his father played and Jack, who also grew up on a farm but came to the city as a teen ager for work.

- Gets to work early to use the coffee machine while no one else is there, unfortunately (for Sammy) this means he has to interact with Wally Frank's when he finishes his shift the day before to get the keys.

Jack Fain:

- A country boy, raised on a much smaller farm than Sammys. He was the youngest child growing up and his parents were very protective of him growing up so he didn't do that much manual labour and had a pretty breezey child hood.

- His sister would play tunes on the piano and Jack would like to make parodies of the songs she sang. She was very complimentary about them and encouraged him to do it for a living.

- His sister died of small pox before she'd become the famous pianist she wanted to be so Jack felt like it was his job to become a lyricist. So he snatched up the opertunity to write for the bendy cartoons.

Henry Stein:

- Has one of the two and a half brain cells that float around the studio, the other belongs to Lacie Benton and the half is fought over by Grant and Wally.

- Talks to inanimate objects while on the job, sometimes rehearsing conversations he plans to have with other people because he's a bit of a perfectionist.

- Very respectful, refuses to be unnecessaryily mean to other people and does his best to be polite

-joined the company because he had the skills and Joey was an old friend

Susie Campbell:

- Originally from a well to do family in Rhode Island, she took professional singing lessons as a kid and prides herself on her voice. Comparing it to the likes of Helen Kane.

- Snatched the role of Alice Angel as she saw it as her way to make it properly big and get invited to massive parties and get gifts of chunky diamond jewelry.

-she lives in a better part of New York which is paid for by her family. She travels for about an hour each day to get to the studio and arrives 'fashionably late' most days.

Allison Pendle:

- Another farm kid. She's the oldest of her siblings and is the mum friend in any friend group. Yet she always looks the youngest.

- Lives with two of her friends in a progressive part of town. Her friend , Lottie helped her get the job after hearing her sing in the shower.

- Feels a bit out of place being one of the few people at the studio that's actually sane.

Wally Franks:

- A teen that's far to optimistic to be living in a time period to be known as the great depression, treats every cent he earns like its a million dollars. Unfortunately he wouldn't treat riches very well and as such he only keep enough to pay for food and pay rent, he's even missed a couple of rent dates too.

- has always lived in the city, the more dangerous end mind you. He had three old siblings growing up and they were all dreamers, once they hit eighteen they moved out to make a fortune. Wally did the same when he moved over to the studios side of town. He hasnt heard from any of his sibling since.

- He REALLY wants a dog but he knows he can't afford one but he's befriend every stray hound on the block and even earns a couple extra dollars by walking some better off people's dogs.

- Joined the studio expecting riches and fame, like all those other animations studios but instead hes gotten stuck scrubbing the floors.

Thomas Connor:

- Posably hasn't slept in a week, probably hasn't slept for a month. He is determined not to fall behind in his work because that would mean trouble from GENT and his... Employer

- Is in love with Miss Pendle, kind hearted with good intentions. Likes to think about starting an American dream type of living situation with her.

- likes to act all gruff and mean around Wally but it's only to toughen him up, inside Thomas sees him as an unofficial son. He is determined to see Wally with an actual job one day.

-only works there because GENT makes him do it.

Lacie Benton:

- Her grandfather was an engineer, her father was an engineer but her mother only had one child and it was a girl but the family legacy refused to change tradition.

- Towards the end of her fathers life and started blue prints for house service robots. He died before he could make them and Lacie is doing her best make the bendy-matronics as close to the blue prints as she could muster.

- She is also a GENT imployee but likes it at the studio because people are so worried about themselves that they leave her alone.

Bertrum Piedmont:

- Was alive in the victorian period and acts as such. He uses flamboiant words and would probably faint if he ever saw a flapper, let alone talked to one. Very opinionated too, anti-communist anti-nazi anti-KKK. Which is all pretty understandable.

- Comes from old money, owns a GIANT mansion on the other side of town. Met Joey at an up and coming business man party and was somehow tricked into working for him.

- No one may call him Bertie. Ever.

Shawn Flynn:

- Irish if you hadn't guessed it. Very prepared to belt out the Irish national anthem if need be or just drunkenly shout in your face.

- He drinks and fucks and fights and Lord help anyone who makes a deal to arm wrestle. He actually lives in the tavern, rents a room every night and if he doesn't have enough he'll sleep out back.

- sometimes his drinking problems cause problems at work, which can range from hungover to painting the bendy dolls crooked to outright fighting and swearing in the break room.

Grant Cohen:

- Tried, depressed and really really stressed.

- Met Joey at the bar the night he'd been sacked from his old place and joey lept at the change of easy hire.

- Is a very good accountant but the job he's got is just mad, it's the ultimate loss making company. He very often has to turn to drinking to calm down.

Norman Polk:

- Likes his alone time and can get very irritated if he has to do anything social for a long period of time. In contrast to this he does like people watching.

- he also rarely speaks to other people but of he does it's very down to earth and honest, he doest really care what you think about him or what you say to him.

- No one knows how he joined the company, not even Joey. One day he was just there, doing his job, really well.

My ask box is totally open and I'm bored so you'll likely get quick answers!

BATIM Chapter 3 - Detailed Analysis #3

We finally reunite with Boris, who must have arrived here via that vent in the wall. He couldn't have been here for long, seeing as Susie has just walked through this path. She wouldn't just leave him behind.

This is the last time that we see a cutout move in the game, which lets us know that they do not have supernatural properties. They "move" only when there are people around.

As a side note, notice that Boris poster on the wall?

The game has done a tremendous job using posters as a visual symbolism. We can usually find Boris and Alice toys and posters in all places associated with the ink Borises and Alice Angels we meet on our journey. It's worth keeping that in mind, while we're making our theories!

We walk into a toy storage area, where we can find two more dead searchers, and this optimistic message. "His" most likely refers to Joey. It could also potentially be referring to the person who's torturing the Butcher Gang, as we can often find the Piper wandering around this area.

The presence of dead searchers here is interesting, as the whole room is flooded with ink. Either they were killed by an ink-resistant creature, or the room was clean at the time of their death, and their killer decided to flood the room behind themselves.

The ink doesn't seem to bother Boris. On the contrary, the two large splatters right before both exits suggest that Susie preferred to avoid the room. Similar splatters have been left by Sammy on both sides of the flooded corridor back in Chapter 2.

Notice the lack of any Butcher Gang merchandise in the room? Despite the characters having been around since 1935 - at least 9 years before the studio's downfall - we never come across any kind of merchandise related to them. There are no toys, no cutouts, no rides in the Bendyland storage. It's almost as if someone has deliberately destroyed everything that reminded them of the Butcher Gang.

As we approach the switch, we finally find a survivor. A lone Piper was hiding in a vent covered by a poster. Could this be Shawn? Hard to say. The Piper never ventures anywhere near the toy workshop and Shawn's tape.

Shawn's identity largely depends on the fate of Grant and Lacie. If ProdCharles is right, and Allison and Tom are actually Grant and Lacie under personas, then it makes little sense for Shawn to be the Piper. But, if Grant and Lacie ended up turning into Striker and Fisher, it would be strange to leave the Piper as the only Butcher Gang creature without a named character's soul inside it.

However, there is another creature in this chapter, who may be Shawn.

The bleeding ink creature hiding in the safehouse toilet left an ink trail leading from Heavenly Toys, which implies that they were living in that place before the attack.

If you look close at the creature's depiction in the collage, you'll notice that their face looks like an amalgamation of the in-game Alice and Bendy dolls - cross-eyed, and with a protruding lower half of the mouth in something resembling a snout. Compare that to the "perfect" Alice and Bendy dolls, with the eyes facing the correct direction, and a flatter, human face. Shawn may have been punished for messing with the merchandise by being made to look like it.

In addition, the creature appears to be holding some sort of pen, or a spray, which makes sense for Shawn to have, as one of his tasks was painting the dolls (it may also be where the golden spray originally came from).

Another person, whose soul might be inside the Safehouse Creature, is Dot from the upcoming Bendy novel. The pen fits her, as she was a writing intern. In addition, one of the datamined secret messages named "dot" is something resembling a nose on the Bendy cutout in chapter 1, which also bears resemblance to the Safehouse Creature. Though, in that case, the creature's striking resemblance to the toys is hard to explain.

Before we leave through the newly opened gate, let's investigate the mysterious corridor next to it. There is an audio log of a conversation between Wally and Thomas. It reveals that Wally knew little about engineering, and he wasn't eager to learn more, which puts into question the credibility of the ink machine design plans - how could Wally not know how the ink machine works, if he was the one who designed it?

This begs the questions of why did Thomas agree to leave his name out of the design plans. It's almost like he was trying to avoid taking responsibility for everyone who would lose their life to the machine. Y u so shady, Tommy?

The corridor is branching off in two places. If we go right, we can enter an area, where we can catch a glimpse of the descending ink machine. Strange! The last time we've seen the ink machine was days ago, and it was already descending. It took only a couple minutes to pull it all the way up. It's almost like we are being watched by someone, who is making sure that the machine is being lowered out of our reach whenever we descend deeper down the studio.

It was probably that mysterious whistling individual inside the ink machine control room back in chapter 2. There were strong hints that Tom was the one who killed Sammy, which would point towards the whistling person being Allison. However, she was there with us at the shore before the Giant Ink Machine, and therefore can't be the one responsible for lowering the smaller one.

At the end of the left corridor we find a vandalized gearbox, along with a message on the wall. There's another vandalized gearbox next to one of the levers. Someone clearly had a bad day!

As we go further, we find more evidence of vandalism - a destroyed Miracle Station, along with another message. A troubling sign that the ink creatures can ignore the station, if they so choose.

But what about that giant splatter of ink in front of the miracle station? It looks like the troublemaker was punished for this heinous deed! The shape of the splatter implies they were standing in front of the booth when they were attacked. The inside of the booth looks mostly clean of ink, aside from a few drops that appear to have come from the outside.

It seems that anyone who violates the sanctity of the Miracle Stations meets with a bad end. Is this why the Projectionist lost his head in Chapter 4?

On the way to the elevator, we see a cozy desk with a burning candle, and two empty bowls next to it. It lools like two good friends shared a meal in here.

The desk is located right outside the door, which requires two people to close. Whoever ate that meal was moving in the direction of Heavenly Toys and made sure to close the door behind themselves. They were probably also the ones who killed all those searchers we found on our way.

Remember what I said earlier about visual symbolism with the toys and posters?

Notice that the toys we find next to the dead searchers are specifically Alice Angel and Boris dolls. Furthermore, the bleeding ink creature inside our safehouse seems to have been injured in a fight with an Alice Angel and a Boris (the "bite").

The two creatures messing around on Level K were Allison and Tom!

Another hint is the message on the wall. "The Creator Lied To Us" can be found right next to the animatronic that Tom got his hand from. There are additional messages on the table next to the animatronic, such as "arm?" and "never!" (a response to the "it never moves" secret message), which make it clear that Tom and Allison were writing on the surfaces around the animatronic - and were therefore the authors of the message on the wall.

Back in Chapter 1, we've noted that there is a bone inside the toolbox next to the same message, indicating that it was made by a Boris. All of this suggests that Allison and Tom are the authors of the "The Creator Lied To Us" messages we find in the game.

The final piece of evidence is the Boris plushie underneath Tom's bed, which indicates that the two have visited Heavenly Toys at some point in the past. Given all the other evidence we found on level K, they left the place shortly before Henry's arrival.

This has interesting implications, as we can find burning candles next to the audio logs scattered around the place. Allison mentioned that Tom reacted to his name - could it be that the audio logs stirred up some old memories? Another, more troubling possibility, is that "Allison" and "Tom" are merely personas that these ink creatures decided to adopt after hearing the recordings.

Were they also the ones who vandalized and flooded the rooms on the way?

On one hand, it would explain why the Angel's Room was left untouched. On the other hand, remember the state of the safehouse bathroom - the broken up sink and mirror, and the flooding. The most likely culprit behind this mess was the Safehouse Creature, so it may also have been the one responsible for the destruction of the other places on Level K.

Someone barricaded the rooms leading towards Alice Angel's office and the Heavenly Toys. If the Safehouse Creature was the one going around level K and messing it up, they may have run into Allison and Tom. The creature was forced to escape, which saved the other rooms from further destruction. They then found our hideout and, feeling safe inside, proceeded to ruin our bathroom.

Asshole.

On our way to the elevator, we pass next to two toilet doors. The halo looks very similar to that on the Miracle Station - which fits in with their overall appearance of an outhouse.

Notice the second appearance of the One-Eyed Bendy symbolism on the door. We see a lot of this imagery in the game. These textures in particular were drawn by a fanartist, so I won’t be analysing them. However, all other One-Eyed Bendy imagery in the game was added by the developers.

How very interesting!
