Creator, you traitor.

A redraw of a scene from DCTL. So many great moments in this book, this one being a favorite of mine.

[reanimationstation]

here's the batim MotW party! campaign officially(?) named In the Business of Death. @ask-buddy-lewek, @raggedyannedoll, and @theluckoftheclaws (Bill, Constance, and Dot respectively) all commissioned me to draw their characters in the same style as Brant (which was just a drawing i did for fun)! So now we have a matching set :]

height chart under the cut!

It's so funny to watch how the batim community is outraged just because Norman is not black

[dynafire]

wow, my last post which had links to the bendy novels blew up!!!! would be an even BIGGER SHAME if people began going to this mediafire folder that absolutely doesn't have the first four novels as pdfs.....seriously, don't do it guys!!!! and definitely don't spread this link around!

Who the fuck is this? Seriously, ever since I discovered this monstrosity, I've been feeling disgusted. My friend informed me about this design, and despite it not being 100% official, the damage is still done.

I know many people acknowledged Norman as someone black. And I've agreed most of the time even though in my au I never actually made him black, lol. But I agree on this one. He should be black. Literally, the whole fandom agrees on this one. Yet hear me out- I am not mad since his VA wasn't black at all, color really doesn't matter to me. But what bothers me so much is that he's simply hideous, ALL OF THEM.

They are so many talented artists that you have no idea just how many they are. They had options, many more. Just now, I saw the most jaw-dropping, beautiful- breathtaking fanarts of these same characters. I wish I could tag them all.

I just don't know what to say anymore. I've been such a huge fan of batim since 2017. I was a weird kid since I never stopped talking about it. And I don't mean this as a flex, I'm trying to say that batim has truly been my most precious thing ever. I can't explain how much I loved this back at the time, I still do.

It's been a while since I started to lose my way in the whole lore. Ever since batdr dropped, I haven't been able to catch up. And I must say, ever since they said that a movie, graphic novel and many other books would drop. I just knew I couldn't have high expectations on something like this.

And Jesus christ. I guess we were all right about this one. I really hope they do better, I really do. All I know is that I fear for Thomas Connor, Sammy Lawrence, and Wally Franks. They are absolutely my favorite characters, and even though I have my own impression and headcanons about them, I just pray to the Lord for them not to be THAT bad.

I only had to say this, lol. I needed to vent, whatever happens, I guess there's not much I can do anyway.

P.S. I made this drawing. This is my design of Thomas Connor, lol. Fun fact is that Thomas and Norman are my favorite characters.

I ship those two, btw... Norman x Thomas sounds fun.

What do you think about this in general?

[pearlysteph]

Sorry I tried to explain the Susie headcanon really easily and short but got carried away you don't need to read it but if you do some of these posts will make more sence I guess

OH GREAT HEAVENS...

[random-lil-illing]

yes, im still working on the specifics of the au, but i have the general idea down. when i have the time, and i manage to wrangle my ideas onto a doc/piece of paper, ill drop the au plot :) anyway the name of the au is 'the puppeteer'. i dont plan on making an askblog for it due to lack of time and lack of motivation, sorry

“They respect me, that’s all”

God I love Sammy Alice. Just his introverted ass trying desperately to not seem like a freak, trying to keep all unnecessary attention off of him. And him failing miserably at both. He’s so silly to me.

[fandomdumpsterfires]

I'm sorry i'm really trying to like norman's graphic novel design but. That's not my boy. Idk what it is about it but it just doesn't feel like norman in the slightest i can't explain why-

[hazelxbite]

heres a doodle of like a humanized/pre-game sammy that i did a couple days ago during math class that im still quite happy with actually :D guhhjjjjkkk hes so silly I AM COMPLETELY NORMAL TRUST

[reanimationstation]

sammy's innocent idk what ur talking about thomas. he's so hinged and fine. /j

[jo3ydr3w]

Why don't we talk about how fucking racist the bendy fandom is for a fucking second? As a system with an Irish Jewish-Asian host, it's really fucking gross.

Under the cut because this is long and there are so many characters that this effects.

Not a single person here, besides ACTUAL Black people seem to understand how the hell to properly color Norman and Thomas' hands. The palm is MULTIPLE shades lighter than the back of the hand.

Here are references to what it SHOULD look like when you draw their hands:

Credit to @drawingden for the photo.

Who also has THIS amazing post on the subject.

PLEASE stop drawing them with black palms. They aren't. They're SO much lighter than the skintone people draw them with.

2. Grant is Jewish. His last name is fucking Jewish. It's literally Hewbrew for priest and comes from the Hebrew bible. Stop drawing him as white.

3. Buddy is stated to be Jewish in the book, yet the most people do is make him slightly darker than they do Joey.

4. This one is the one that sparked this post. Rose is ALSO Jewish yet the only art we've seen of her has her pale as paper. Her last name is LITERALLY Yiddish and means princess.

5. Joey's last name is Drew, and IRISH name, but where the hell is your Irish Joey Drew art?? He even MENTIONS having CURLS in The Illusion of Living. He's a curly haired Irish boy.

6. Speaking of Irish boys, actually Irish Shawn Flynn art where???

7. Jack Fain is fucking Jewish. Fain is derived from the Yiddish name Fagan. Draw him darker skined with curly hair. We are BEGGING.

8. Lacie is from the Appalachian Mountains. Write her with the accent. If you don't know how, we made a post about it, because our bodily mother is from there, so we know how Lacie should sound.

9. Henry is Norse. His last name is Norse. Draw him as Norse. Write him as Norse.

10. Nathan and Wilson are fucking Scottish. Arch is derived, and short for Archibald. A Scottish fucking name. Draw them as Scottish. Write them as Scottish.

There are honestly so many more characters we could include here, like Susie who is Scottish or Gaelic, based on her last name being a Scottish combination of two Gaelic words, or Angus ALSO being Jewih because of his last name being Newman and how that's derived from a Jewish last name, but we'll end it here.

Joey: I printed up a bunch of fake safety inspection certificates. Go slap one on anything that looks like a lawsuit.

Buddy: Mr.Drew, is that legal?

Joey: When the cops aren’t around, anything’s legal!

Thomas doesn't think $50 dollars are enough for him to lose his dignity. He'll take it anyway.
