#audrey answers asks

[elviriel]

What do you think Aleksander's rule would have entailed?

That's a great question, and one I was actually thinking about while answering the previous ask. I think it's a worthwhile exercise to wonder what would Ravka have looked like if The Darkling had gotten his way - and I admit, my knowledge of the Grishaverse political details has gotten too fuzzy for a very detailed answer, but I'll give it a shot!

Honestly, I think step 1 of a Darkling rule would be war with Fjerda. And it probably wouldn't be the only war he's willing to wage, but the Drüskelle threat to Grisha would, I think, be his priority. So while I do believe the Darkling cares about Grisha, and genuinely (or at least, as genuinely as he can feel anything) wants them to be free and respected, I don't think it would be an immediate paradise for them the moment he seizes power. The Grisha would still be militarized, and I don't think their conscription into his army would cease. I see the Darkling as a guy who can't stop. Eliminate one threat, then you move onto the other. The trolley problem in turbo mode I quoted in the other post - I don't think it would ever stop, and he would likely do some pretty fucked-up stuff for the sake of securing what he perceives as a better outcome. I also think people would be terrified of him**. The Darkling taking power wouldn't necessarily change people's views on Grisha - it might actually worsen matters. But I don't just mean the Ravkan people. I think his ministers, advisors, etc - would be scared of him, and with good reason, and a lot of them would probably dream of the day they can mount a successful coup against him. That being said, I don't necessarily think he would be bad for Ravka. The books imply that the royal family (pre-Nikolai, at least) live lavishly, with little regard for the people, and the Darkling... well, wouldn't? It's hard not to chide myself for being too generous toward the Darkling whenever I have the instinct to praise him xD but I remember it being implied in the books that he doesn't lead a particularly luxurious life. Now, that could be optics, but I think the Darkling is a "get down and dirty" kind of guy. He wouldn't be the type to sit on a throne while people fight for him or starve. He'd be right there in the trenches. **A Darkling rule with Alina by his side - which, you know, would be his ideal, as the trilogy implies, and also the premise of many a-fanfic, including my favorite, might... not make him "softer", but I think it might mitigate the public's opinion of him. I hated Season 2 of Shadow and Bone with a burning passion, but I did like the "Let me be your monster" line, and I do very much perceive Ruling Couple Darklina in this way- which isn't necessarily everyone's cup of tea. A lot of people enjoy Dark Alina, which I get, but I have trouble imagining her EVER being on board with the Darkling's ruthless proclivities. She's a compassionate little bean! But yeah, I imagine Aleksander as the King who will do what he must, and is generally feared/perhaps reviled by his people, while Alina is far better-liked. I could see people going through Alina when they're too afraid of going to Aleksander directly - and I could see him letting it happen, too. I don't think he's necessarily opposed to mercy, but he can't be seen as merciful, so if his wife's doing the Nice Things, then he gets to keep his public persona of "don't fuck with me." I also think that while this arrangement would work for him on an intellectual and strategic level, he'd also resent it. The books imply this, too: that while the Darkling has accepted the way he's seen, and uses it to his advantage, he also craves recognition, and very much resents that people hate him when in his mind, HE'S the one doing what's necessary for Ravka- meanwhile Alina hesitates and flounders (his perception, again!) and gets all the love. It's this funny contradiction where this perception works for him, but also likely makes him so, so bitter xD

I'm not sure I fully answered the question, but at the risk of always referring to the same person, I'd recommend Out of Time by Destiniesfic. It also gives a picture of what a "winning" Darkling is like as a ruler, and while it takes place in a future Ravka, it's a very insightful read, and I consider it canon in terms of characterization. (The fic is Darklina though, so if that's not your thing, I take back my rec.)

Thank you SO MUCH for asking, it makes me feel all special that someone wants my opinion on Darkling stuff xD I hope that was a fun read if you read this far! ❤️❤️

A friend and I were watching Little Shop of Horrors on a website frequented by sailors under a black flag but anyway we were nearing the end of the movie and Audrey was dying and I was like huh I thought she survived and my friend was also very confused like "hey this isn't how the scene is supposed to go" but I remembered reading about a second, apocalypse ending of the movie that was different from the theatrical release, which somehow we had stumbled upon by pure accident

So we both watched on in increasing distress and disbelief as Audrey II proceeded to eat Audrey, then Seymour, then be sold as a million tiny Aubrey II's that proceeded to have extended monster-movie montages of taking over various cities and landmarks and fighting the military

And at least I had some sort of knowledge this was a thing that existed but my friend just stumbled into watching the existential horror version of a beloved childhood favorite.

[erosmutt]

I prefer mmf, but uh idk how mff would work. I wanna be underneath Han tbh.

The one where Han has it pretty cold in the ship just because it makes your nipples poke out (since apparently bras don't exist in the og trilogy). He says it's chilly because Chewie gets overheated easily, but it's actually because he really likes staring at your tits.

Han also slaps your ass when you pass by him, he gets upset when you do it to him as payback but his reaction is funny

oh my god oh my god, and when he gets you alone he's so so mean about it because he is not gentle!!! he's behind you, kissing at your neck and his big hands are kneading your tits, thumbs rubbing over your nipples. "'s cold in here, huh?" and he'll get you to lay down just so he can suck on them which is one of his absolute favorite things to do but he rarely does it because he doesn't wanna make you too uncomfortable or hurt you with his mouth constantly on you.

heavy on the last thing, he loves to smack your ass whenever you pass by but when you do it he'll turn around and you can practically see the question marks around his head as he looks at you like you've lost your mind. "the hell? what was that for?" and you're like "payback <3" so he has to one-up you by fucking you from behind, gets to smack and grip your ass all he wants hehe

Inspired by Audrey eating the raw-ass turkey.

What if, after finally being exposed to the ink realm/her true form and/or being merged with the Inky boi, Audrey kinda has spells of going "wild", or "ink demony"? Idk how else to explain it. Basically Bendy/Inky waking up to a ink world Audrey (Possibly with mini horns or a more ink monster-y form than normal?) eating raw turkey with her bare hands and kind of just, backing away.

Bruh (gender-neutral), I love this so much. I added that option to the poll as a one-off joke but that's too fun to not expand on

I think I remember some artists making art for demon Audrey back when batdr was first released, so sorry if I accidentally repeat ideas.

I feel like Audrey would be super horrified at herself for doing that. Like, in the moment it's great, and then she comes back to herself and is like, wtf am i doing! Meanwhile, the Ink Demon is gonna be like Hell yeah, embrace your wild side/the dark puddles before getting offended that she didn't leave any turkey for him.

He's such a good influence ;)

[big-ass-magnet]

I really hope the newest generation of valois get to escape the cycle of their toxic family bloodline. I want tarvek to get his ot3 who would destroy anyone who tries to kill him, i want violetta to get all the pretty dresses she wants, I want seffie to betray her grandma and get the girl, hell I even want martellus to end the story alive and open his pet shop.

I am MOSTLY with you on this one. I don't think Martellus deserves nice things. Besides his vile personality, what he tried to do with Agatha does not deserve forgiveness.

I do want him to survive the story but only because I want his suffering to be prolonged :)

As for the other three, hell yes, I want them to be happy and free of their terrible family, and it looks like the narrative does too.

I want SO many fancy dresses for Violetta, and I want her to realize that just because she isn't the best Smoke Knight ever born, she is still really, really good!! [Also PLEASE realize that Tarvek loves and cares for you, PLEASE notice his love language prioritizes keeping people ALIVE.]

Obviously I want Tarvek and Gil to realize that they also have two hands, but even if they don't, Tarvek's future looks bright and full of love. Our beloved weasel <3

As for Seffie, I'll admit at first I did not see where people were coming from with the Seffie/Collette thing riiiight up to here:

You find me a heterosexual explanation for that face, I defy you.

Anyway when Seffie realizes she could have Sexy Woman Who Actually Loves Her instead of settling for Least Emotionally Available Man in Europa and hoping he'll get over his heart break enough to actually look at her, I'm pretty sure she's not going to so much escape her family's toxic cycles as burn it to the ground.

Yo, is Audry Frost single? Uh... Asking... Asking for a friend...

[booksrbetterthanpeople]

Okay so in queen wasp, the scene where both Audrey and Chloé bond over being mean and nasty to others which might have led to Chloé being awful in the future (not defending her actions), it only happens because Marinette did kinda manipulated them. I could wrong of course and you might need to fact check me on that one but still, it be funny if the other characters found out about it.

You’re right on the nose there

Alya: Wait… WHAT?!

Myléne: Oh, my God! What the hell, Marinette?!

Nino: Dude! Not cool!

Nathaniel: Guys, guys. Chill out, okay… Seriously, Marinette, what the fuck?! That was your brilliant plan?! Make Chloé meaner than she was earlier by having her spend time with her mythic bitch mother?!

Marinette: I just thought they’d bond and maybe even learn to be nice-

Kim: Fighting fire with fire only gets you more fire! Audrey only made her worse! She literally threatened to deport Zoé!

Marc: And let’s not forget the whole Penalteam thing, you know, where she waited for Shadow Moth to akumatize her!

Marinette: … It seemed like a good idea at the time.

Juleka: Next time you have a good idea, do the opposite.

Do any kawami swaps happen in the AUs like in canon? Like with Kagami and Pollen.

So as of now, across all my au’s, I only have two au’s where I’ve planned for Kwamii swaps.

The first is Orchids and Memories. In that au most of the miraculous were retired after Miracle Queen. Leaving Ladybug and Chat Noir. Only Alya, Nino, Kagami and Luka got to keep their miraculous but they had to change their hero uniforms. Pollen obviously went with Chloe so that removes the bee. And Chloe also can’t remove the eldritch miraculous.

Therefore the only other three people to get miraculous in that au are Sabrina, Felix and Audrey. Sabrina gets the tiger miraculous showing how far she’s come in terms of confidence (also how she’s more confident then Chloe) Felix still gets the dog but his design resembles a Belgian Malinois instead. And Audrey gets the peacock after she joins the evil polycule with Gabriel and Nathalie.

I want to do a Kwami swap at some point in both Such a Noble Sacrifice au’s. The heroes try and throw Hawkmoth and Mayura off their trail a little. Especially seeing as there’s only 9 miraculous in these au’s. The Ladybug, Cat, Butterfly, Peacock, Bee, Fox, Turtle, Rabbit and Dove.

The problem I’m coming into is exactly who gets what miraculous. I’m thinking about giving Chloe the Cat and Alya the Ladybug. I’m just not sure who gets the Dove because you have to stab yourself to transform. I don’t know who would be willing to exactly go through with the pain compared to the others being some jewellery. I’m thinking maybe Adrien taking on the pain of using the Dove.

I’m open to any ideas if there’s a Kwami swap people want to see for this au.

Audrey (My O.C): Hey Howdy! I got a joke!

Howdy: What is it?

Audrey: I heard about this lady who had quadruplets.

Howdy: Woah! That's a lot! What are their names?

Audrey: Eenie, Meenie, Miney, and Fred.

Howdy: Eenie, Meenie, Miney, and Fred?

Audrey: Yeah!

Howdy: What happened to Mo?

Audrey: Oh, she don't want no mo'! (No more)

Audrey and Howdy: *Laughing like crazy in the store*

Frank: *Towards Eddie* I thought my cousin Audrey was better than this...

I'll admit i was very angry and hurt that i was on your block list until i read your user profile. sorry you got bullied and harassed by this person. now i'm kinda of nervous of who she is because i don't think i could take 16 months of bullying.

I debated overnight if I should answer this. I am going to respond so that my readers understand what's been going on.

This ask is very typical of the type of thing the person who harassed me, and plagiarized Autumn in Philadelphia does. Since she found out about the link to the report, she has sent readers and has impersonated readers to get the link to that report which details not just the plagiarism but also her harassment.

I have had mutual readers gain my trust, participate in my BMW discord server, and pretend to be supportive through this ordeal all while relaying information to her.

She has also used her readers from other fandoms to try to do the same.

This is why I preemptively block readers who gush over her or indicate that they are in private communication with her (all of this is public information on her stories that I found while compiling my report).

Why is this ask typical of her methods to gain access to me and the report?

There is no indication to which user profile this information is on as those of you who follow me know I post on three sites.

I would think if this ask was by a legit reader and not by her or one of her friends (she is blocked on every single site I know we share as are any associates of hers that I'm aware of) I would think the reader would want me to know who they are so I can directly address them and the site they are on.

Which I would do privately.

The fact that immediate concern is about who she is also bothers me. I would assume once I named the person, they would want proof in the form of the link to the report.

That will not happen.

If this ask is from a legitimate reader or follower, then I really am sorry you've been caught in this.

To be clear: I am not upset with anyone who follows her or interacts with her works. This issue should have stayed between us but she chose to bring others into it and use them.

Even if you have been a part of this with her, I'm honestly not upset with you. I know how manipulative she is. I'm sure you thought you were helping a very sweet loving Christian writer obssessed with Jon and Shawn (aren't most of us obssessed?).

I fell for it myself. Hard.

I care about all of my readers very much, but it has come to the point where I have to protect myself.

If this is not a legitimate ask and you are doing this on her behalf or she's gotten another account, then we now stand close to 20 months of harassment.

To my readers, you know where to find me and how to interact with me that is not AO3.

I thank you for sticking with me through all of this and for supporting AiP, whether you comment or simply just read as I post.

I appreciate you more than I can say.

important function of a hyperfixation is to fill your brain so there is no space for sad thoughts. every spare moment of cognition I have is devoted to a mediocre book series from the 90s

[archer-kacey]

Something I noticed is a lot of people who hated BATIM love BATDR and a lot of people fond of BATIM dislike BATDR. To me, this seems like a mechanics vs story issue. The actual game mechanics and aesthetic of BATDR disguise the lackluster characters and plot holes. However, BATIM still suffers those same issues.

This is a vague question, but what are your thoughts on BATIM vs BATDR story wise? Is either of them truly better? Or are they just flawed in different ways?

Sorry, this is long, but so are BATIM and BATDR :')

I think you hit the nail on the head in the sense that yes- BATDR has better gameplay and mechanics than BATIM, but BATIM by far has a much more compelling story that was able to capture and keep attention over the course of five chapter releases. And yes, BATIM is not without its flaws, for example it's mainly a walking simulator in terms of actual gameplay- the only thing saving it being the unique ability to suck the player in through the rich, stylistic environments.

In terms of story, here's my take for both of them-

BATIM is more solid overall, there are more connected plot points and there's a thread there to be followed from start to finish. It does suffer from some WTF plothole moments, the biggest one being Alice's 180 degree turn with suddenly using Boris as a killing machine rather than...what I can only assume was a plan to use his ink/body as some kind of reparative agent for the hole in her face (like thicc ink premium idk), or...some kind of spell...? It's honestly not very clear HOW she was going to use him, but bottom line she decided to entirely change her plan off-screen, which could have been remedied with something like a cutscene's worth of explanation, and more of a buildup to Brute Boris. The "reveal" in the haunted house didn't hold that much weight (at least to me,) just because we didn't even get a cookie crumb of a hint that Alice was going to mutilate him and use him as a drone instead of just axe him.

There are other nonsense details like Allison's ominous "I'm no Angel" line, which didn't make sense when Tom was the one to want to leave Henry. It was never explained WHY the Ink Demon walks around with a limp when he can shapeshift into a bigger and faster Beast version of himself (and apparently he was ALSO the hand in the ink river??? I guess???) And can we talk about how the cult Joey started was just never brought up again? Wally talks about how workers were encouraged (or mandated, idk) to put offerings in the break room to "appease the gods." What gods? Was Joey worshiping Bendy like a god? NONE OF THIS IS EXPLAINED EVER and honestly I think Micheal D. and Meatstick just Forgot that Joey was a cult leader in favor of Sammy's cult storyline.

But despite all of the plot holes, we still get a tale of a deteriorating studio, humans being used as literal skeletons for lifelike versions of cartoon characters, themes of life, death, cults, art, and more. Honestly, going deep into the plot of Bendy would take its own post to really do it justice.

I guess the main plot is this: Ex-co-founder of Joey Drew Studios, Henry, is trying to get the fuck home to his wife, learning along the way that through the power of a mysterious ink machine, his ex-business partner decided to coerce and persuade people to Literally Die so he could have the necessary materials to create living versions of his cartoons, thus making "his" characters (and more importantly, Bendy,) a reality. Once Henry does escape, he learns that Joey has sent him through this same hell before, still filled with hatred and spite, just in time for Joey to assumedly "reset" him and send him on a different version of the same journey, as we can guess from the storyboards on display in Joey's apartment. THAT on its own is an intriguing and layered tale, and that's not even including the other details, voices, and faces we run into in BATIM, AND the new info we learn in BATDR.

Now, BATDR...is something I've come to view as a mixed bag.

Story-wise, it weirdly wants to have its cake and eat it to. Henry's story is elaborated on, and part of Audrey's origins are also brought to light. This is helpful information concerning the plot of BATIM...but then we get assblasted with a ton of new characters and lore for a completely new Cycle under the reign of a completely new Random Old Man. I know he's Nathan's son, and he was mentioned in both Illusion and Fade to Black...but those were de-canonized, so it almost doesn't help context-wise...???? So...????

In a lot of ways, BATDR almost acts like it wants to be an AU branching from BATIM rather than a direct sequel, which it was marketed/confirmed as.

I think my biggest problem with BATDR is that some of the main characters are bafflingly like. Mishandled.

I'm gonna have the mildest take on earth and say I didn't like the new Ink Demon. Old design was better and more uncanny by far, the new design looks like Generic Satan or something straight out of Baldur's Gate. He was given a deep, guttural growling voice because....tumblr sexyman I guess. Even if they needed him to talk, it could've been something more breathy and raspy, true to the heavy breathing of the original Ink Demon. Also, his alternate form was made very childlike, and I'm just weirded out by the fact that you have this oddly "sexified" version of the Ink Demon on the flipside of Bendy the Child. I don't think any ill intent was meant by this, but it's more confusing than anything thematically. I'm also not sure why Bendy's abuse was brought up and then never touched on....? Like wasn't this guy locked up and called a monster his whole life? Are we going to...say something especially considering the moral of this story......?

Memory Joey is completely fine, but I just can't shake the feeling that the narrative is trying to paint IRL Joey as "UWU fixed now" when that's not the case. The most sympathy I can extend to IRL Joey is that he was a gay man who desired to have a family at a time when that was not only frowned upon but dangerous, not just socially speaking but in terms of his physical safety. But beyond that, this was a dude who locked people in a building to keep them working, coerced and possibly forced the deaths of many people to get what he wanted (the ink machine was a scientific advancement that could've had AMAZING implications for society but he Did Not Give a Shit about that), and was abusive towards Henry. If we trust the Bendy books, he also gaslit and killed his teenage staff. This motherfucker isn't a patron saint of anything, and even if Memory Joey can learn from IRL Joey's mistakes, IRL Joey was still a shitbag who just happened to raise a daughter.

Which leads me to Audrey. Some of Audrey's tale is explained- she was raised by Joey, forgot Joey was her father, and came to work at Archgate as an animator. Got to know Wilson, who works as a janitor at Archgate, and then he drags her into ink hell because....idk, she's his version of "A Perfect Boris" I guess. Fair enough. However, it's NEVER EXPLAINED how Audrey doesn't remember her father, or WHERE she went to live after his passing, or WHO she lived with. Remember, Joey was as old as a cave painting, so he clearly passed when she was very young. While you could argue she doesn't remember his name because she was little, SURELY she remembers his face or voice, or the fact that she HAD A FATHER??? Like, was there some huge trauma there? (Other than the fact that Joey was her dad?) It makes little sense to me that she would forget so easily. If I had to make a guess (and granted I'm no Mark Twain), I'd wager that Allison probably found Joey dead. Remember that Nathan hadn't talked to Joey in years, and Allison was the one who went out of her way in the first place to visit. At this point, Allison's gonna find a little girl running around by herself, and assumedly her and Thomas would've taken her in. If that's not the case, someone else found Joey dead, at which point Audrey would've possibly lived with Nathan and Tessa, considering how much Nathan cared about Joey. Either party has ties to Archgate. But all of that is just speculation, not confirmed, and even if any of that were true, Audrey makes no mention of it. And I'm sorry, Audrey's backstory makes me want to cry, because it's just NOT THERE and she has the personality of a depressed bucket.

Alice was alright...but she was kind of stupid? Which is like....the antithesis of everything cool about her? Instead of using traps and luring the main character from a distance, she knocks out Audrey (via unspecified drink), plays Diet Jigsaw with Audrey, and then gets pushed off a balcony. She was also a lot more...idk, suave and sultry in speech mannerisms in BATDR, which isn't bad, but her unhinged and clever nature seemed a bit watered down.

I don't really have notes on the rest of the main cast. Sammy was brought back to die immediately, which honestly was fine considering his death track record. We get some mentions of BATIM characters. Wilson and Betty were fine, and even some of the lore explaining how the timelines work made sense.

HOWEVER,

I've already said it a hundred times, but the old cast was shoved to the side for a bunch of new characters we had no time to connect with. A new butcher gang member was added when we still have Miss Twisted as a potential female-role filler (keep in mind the Projectionist is based on Camera Man and Brute Boris was based on The Brute.) The whole "Amok" thing was a REALLY roundabout way to get the Lost Ones to stop attacking Audrey.

Wilson's motivations are mostly consistent and I'd argue somewhat compelling, but I don't understand why he didn't do more to protect Audrey if he was going to need her for the endgame for Shipahoy Dudley? Like what's all this about letting her run around and get killed? Was he just aware that she'd revive?

The main message of BATDR was fine, but it didn't work super well for Audrey's character. She'd already forgotten Joey was her father, and was living in blissful ignorance of that fact until Memory Joey decided to infodump on her right away. Sure, the "just because you were born of darkness doesn't mean you have to be darkness" thing applies to her AFTER she learns Joey was her father, but...Audrey was never threatening to Become Evil, so it almost didn't need to be said and was kind of a flat message...? I would argue Memory Joey would benefit more from that message- as he's a literal copy of a Very Bad Dude. My guy was projecting this whole time.

I do think BATDR was worse story-wise, but I'm not going to sit here and pretend it didn't have certain disadvantages from the start. The Kindlybeast debacle happened, BADTR was trying to continue a story from an existing property, and there was a severe lack of Adrienne Kress. Okay, maybe the last one was a bit much, but still. That doesn't mean I hate BATDR overall, I can appreciate a lot of things about it, but strictly in the story department, it needs soooooo much work and makes me want to jump off a Minecraft cliff.

Have you seen the meme that’s been going around lately? (At least a lot with artists on Twitter)

‘I’m not calling you “good boy” Laios, this meting was shit!’

It’s been going around the last few days a lot… but it also reminds me of the Inklings lmao

🤣 I have, and it definitely applies to the Inklings/Siblinks lol

I think it can go both ways but I mostly think of Baby Benders making the "sparkle eyes" at Audrey and her responding, "I'm not calling you "Good Boy", Bendy, that ritual was shit." And him making the sad face as the Ink Demon.

Although at this point of the story it could definitely be reversed.

Audrey: *making sparkle eyes at the Ink Demon*

Ink Demon: I'M NOT CALLING YOU A "GOOD SIBLING", AUDREY, THAT RESCUE WAS SHIT

Audrey: T-T

[erosmutt]

Beer and VHS for the ask game

YAYYYY

[starryredpandawrites]

So with Bendy copying Audrey to be a person (based on the two bendy bites) would that mean he would also copy the cat?

The reason I thought this is because imagine Audrey comes home to see the cat in loaf form only to turn and see Bendy also loaf-

AbsoLUTEly he would, you genius!

Loaf Bendy would be so precious, both as a toon and a demon XD Toon Bendy is gonna be limited to non-verbal imitations (loafing, stretching like a cat, pushing stuff over etc.) but our big inky boi has no such limits.

There's so much potential here for animalistic behaviors and I'm such a sucker for that, like:

Imagine he starts hissing at Audrey as the Ink Demon. The first time he would probably freak her out. By now, she's gotten fairly used to all his noises and he probably has been using his own version of gurgly hissing that's only called hissing for lack of a better term. Then one day, she does something he doesn't like, like reaching for the remote while he's watching TV, and he just full on cat-hisses at her. It would still be garbled cuz that's how he is and I imagine it would be a lot harsher than a regular cat's hiss. This new sound would definitely cause Audrey to at least flinch and possibly jump back (if she was on the couch, she would probably fall off b/c funny) in fear/shock.

Now, I'm split on whether he would feel bad and not do it again for a while (he hates it when he scares her accidentally, it brings up bad memories) or if he would try to abuse it to get her to do more stuff for him since she's used to all of his other threatening mannerisms. It would probably depend on the severity of her reaction idk

Another possible first scenario where Audrey hears him hiss for the first time could be her overhearing him playing with the cat. Cat thinks it's normal, he learned it from the cat so he obviously thinks it's normal, but Audrey would probably freak out even more because she's still secretly worried he's gonna eat the cat at some point. (I just remembered I named the cat Inkblot so I'm gonna start using that name again lol). He would be super offended by Audrey's overreaction, especially if she tried to separate them. Maybe he starts lecturing her on how Inkblot needs to learn boundaries through his language since he doesn't speak English or sign language and Audrey is just reeling that he's mentioning boundaries when he's constantly pushing hers

OMIGOSH HE COULD LEARN TO PURR

GUYS, I HAVE A LEGIT EXCUSE TO WRITE THE INK DEMON STRAIGHT UP PURRING IN THE FUTURE

Ohhahwaqihufaiouqouihfd I'm so excited for this

yeah sure, it's gonna be garbled af and I was already planning on writing plenty of inky rumbling in the fic but now I can straight up call it purring which is splendid

ESPECIALLY IF HE LEARNS IT'S POSSIBLY HEALING

Problem, I don't think scientists figured out that purring is helpful until recently. (Google has confirmed they first started to suspect it in the 2000s, ugh)

Other problem, can Audrey get sick? For the sake of sick fics, I wanna say yes, but she's also not human so the logical/world-building side of me says no.

Screw logic, imagine Audrey with a cold, just chilling in bed, trying to get better, when Inkblot jumps up on her chest and starts purring. Audrey would appreciate the attention (since she's the cat's third favorite) but she also likes breathing and would keep moving the cat off.

Eventually, the cat leaves and she thinks she's free, closes her eyes, and suddenly the pressure is back but 10X heavier and way rumblier.

It's da Inky boi in his full demon glory, laying practically his whole torso on her and shaking the room with the power of his rumbles. Cue Audrey complaining and trying to shove him off, but not only is she sick but Bendy is obviously way stronger than she is. She has no choice but to submit to the cuddles, but she does convince him to just put his head on her so she can actually breathe.

Okay, I think that's enough silly self-indulgent ideas for one post lol

[gameguy20100]

Audrey call Zoe Zara? Audrey need to do better job but if she only call this once then compared to Chloe who is multiple time got wrong about Chloe Name then i guess in her eyes Zoe is tolerable

I think it's more that Zoe doesn't try to get her attention as much so Audrey doesn't get annoyed.
