Ok, them meeting Bendy’s original? 4’8 adult (IM Bendy) meets his 3’0 adult original counterpart (OG/BATDRBendy) (or if you see him as a child. I personally see him as an adult since he’s just the ink Demon in a smaller more cuter ‘innocent’ form.)

Also I like how you break into hyperfication because same LMAO!

oh dude brainy is gonna kill me over this one i gotta move carefully

but. i have a funny vision over BATDR bendy in the same way i have a funny vision over boris seeing sarah in his head (*points* theyre just like me(they're not). im joking of course, i dont hc either of them to have did or anything of the like, but it does mean i see them from a system perspective and i can't help but see this dangerous beast demon suddenly switch into a small vunerable child with a completely different personaly and not think about system littles even if i don't see him having did in the slightest

now. as to how im bendy would react, ignoring the entire "wtf you're me(existential crisis)" part i thiiink. i think it could be somewhere between very stressful and very familiar to im bendy. im bendy is someone who finds his comfortzone at the simplicity of being an older brother, he naturally cares about other people and if someone that is young and needs help comes to him he's going to be kinder he's going to be gentle he raised himself to be this person that toom care of an entire other child while he himself was a child so it comes as naturally as breathing! but the moment this harmless form turns into that beast with that raspy voice and this personally of projecting his own insecurities onto others, bendy's going to be familiar in a bad way because this is absolutely the kind of thing this quest would put him through, either pre labyrithn or post labyrithn he's gonna be tense and attentive and aware of this threat but post labyrithn bendy is going to react more badly because he did get more skilled at self defense fighting in there buuuut he also got thrice as much trauma and self doubt and that ink beast is definitely gonna manage to hit that oneee sensitive spot of "you're a monster just like me".

but i personally prefer to consider more pre-labyrithn bendy for personal reasons, or at least if i'm considering post-labyrithn bendy i'd rather think about how my partner(whatsafelony on ao3 and on the ima/ims) would characterize him because his characterization of him is 👌mwah(if you read the @inkymysteryanimatedpilot 's script the characterizations were heavily changed both because we had a time limit and because he was the one writing, and God did his little changes add charm. never forget the "[clocks in]at least im being paid to argue" line that he added saying "thats something i do on my own job and very bendy coded i need to make him say that"). and i don't think he'd write bendy's guilt this way at all. i can't say for certain how fel would characterize bendy reacting to this conflict, not only because fel is an absolute genius but also because even if i did know i'd just rather let him say it on his own terms. but i think fel's bendy's interaction with both "harmless baby bendy" and "beast/ink demon" would be a tad more complex and messy and honestly human. fel's writing <333333(sorry for being biased i am. homosexual)
