some pre-game batim headcanons :>
Henry:
- all he does is eat hot chip be bisexual and lie /j
- has a preference for women so i think him realizing hes not straight is like hey wait a minute hey wait wait
- joey was his gay awakening,,, real
-gets burnout super easy, it probably frustrates him a lot when he cant draw
- drawing is a big comfort for him
- has pretty bad social anxiety, but has become pretty good at dealing with it!
Joey:
- gay. this man is not into women at all sorry 💀 "i just dont have time for girls" yeah sure fruitcake
- watch me project once again and give this man bpd. like im sorry his whole thing with henry?? im not even explaining it but if you get it you get it yea
- also definitely has adhd
- wheelchair user !! he is able to walk, but he still needs the wheelchair when flare ups get real bad. he is stubborn though and refuses to use it at work or when hes out of the house
more under the cut !!
Wally:
- he has adhd, obviously
- transgender !! i feel like hes a gnc binary trans man
- hes straight to me, but his gf/wife is also trans >:D t4t win
- i feel like he likes to gossip. the thought of him, norman, shawn, maybe even jack whispering to eachother in a corner about some random secrets theyve overheard is super funny to me
Sammy:
- AUTISM... hes autistic
- gets overwhelmed and overstimulated super easily, hence why hes always so irritable
- yknow what im giving him bipolar. hes my comfort character and i get to project my mental illness !!
- hes gay and demiromantic
- honestly? transfem i see it. bc like im thinking about how he talks about susies singing like. i know what you are
- bad with boundaries.. he is so bad at them and reading social cues
- hates being touched, probably is only comfortable with jack for the most part
- watch him crush on like half the men mentioned in this post at least once
Norman:
- hes also autistic. his sense of humor is so??? 😭
- HES ALSO DEFINITELY AN OLDER GAY GUY. he just has that energy yknow like if you agree
- probably would be agender too
- him and sammy are that incompatible type of autism havers does this make sense?? like some autistic people i just cant stand because of my autism, our places on the spectrum make it so hard to like them yk? thats norman and sammy
- this man definitely has insomnia
Susie:
- lesbian. she doesnt know it yet but she is
- her calling sammy handsome isnt her being attracted to him its just gender envy 😁
- shes just a feminine transmasc 👍
- rejection sensitive dysphoria out the ASS my poor girl
- very insecure deep down, so she overcompensates for it by trying to be a people pleaser n stuff
Allison:
- shes bisexual !! has a strong preference for women
- shes a trans woman idc idc i love her
- AUTISTIC AS HELL
- i imagine she had a sibling like relationship with joey
- probably one of the few people that could tell him off without like. getting fired lol
Buddy:
- adhd and autism,, special intrest in art/drawing
- AROACE. the stuff he says about his friendship with dot?? "i didnt know we could just be friends" and him not being too into his first assumption when she pulls him away to show him the bendyland model?? yea
- honestly i think he has social anxiety hes doing his best
- hes very sensitive over people bringing up him being jewish, he seems so ready to be made fun of or scorned for it :(
- definitely some cultural detachment because of it (im projecting again)
- i think dot would wanna learn about about it, buddy should teach her stuff!! like traditions and whatnot
Tom:
- asexual 👍
- TRANSGENDER. probably would be nonbinary, heavily masc leaning though
- he smokes a lot have you heard this man good lord. i dont think allison is a fan of it
- anger issues,, mostly caused by stress and a lack of sleep, hes trying his best :(
- he has arthritis. hes not old but god do his joints fee like it. he has crutches !! like joey though he only really uses em at home 💀
Jack:
- wheelchair user jack my BELOVED idk where the hc came from but im all for it
- he cant walk, but is able to get around just fine! watch him try and do wheelies to impress sammy only to almost fall over
- 100% autistic as well. him and sammy are able to be autism together
- unlabeled aromantic
- hes such a loser /loving
Grant:
- poor guy gets chronic headaches someone give him some painkillers
- hes got generalized anxiety disorder this man cannot get a break
- demisexual and demiromantic,, mans is double demi
Shawn:
- adhdtism 😭
- LOVES to talk, he could go on for hours dude
- i feel like he knows a lot of ridiculously obscure knowledge. for why? dont worry about it
- he gives me genderfluid vibes
- literally just some guy

I still feel a bit robbed that Borkis was just an Easter Egg in BATDR. But it makes sense at the same time. Imagine how cool it would’ve been to have him be part of the plot tho.

That is the second drawing, I wanted to redraw that one scene in 'Dreams come to life' where Sammy tells Buddy to clean the ink in the supplies closet (that one scene where Sammy says for the first time "yummy delicious ink")
It is the first time Sammy appears in the book and honestly, I got so excited about that (It's not like I placed a bookmark almost everytime Sammy (or something funny) appeared in the book...)
I swear I'm not a simp

JDS workers refs (10/???)
I think that DCtL has already showed us Buddy as a great character. So I don't need to add anything else - if you read the book, you know what kind of an employee Buddy is

Soooo, art isn’t arting.
It’s gonna take a hot minute to adjust to drawing with a proper stylus again.
In the meantime, I’m building up to drawing actual people again!
LOOK AT MY SON!!
