#he doesn’t have a chip on his shoulder in game about it cause he probs sees it as a responsibility position and a task from his savior

Thoughts on Sammy’s Prophethood

Fandom treats Sammy like some fanatical weirdo like every other word was Bendy’s name. As funny as that interpretation is, like there is a reason Sammy lasted so long and had all those lost ones under his control.

I get the ideas that he could easily be a deranged cult leader that killed anyone who crossed him but you gotta remember he’s way out numbered by the lost ones and searchers. Sammy doesn’t seem manipulative in his preachings and would most likely do what he does whether they followed him or not. So it’s my understanding that they are willingly at his side. Allison directly states that Sammy keeps them tamed, meaning that before the whole cult thing they may have been feral or at least way more hostile than simply idly crying or moping about. Sammy is the prophet, their prophet and that makes Sammy a powerful entity when everyone but like 4 people are on his side and follow his every word. (Even the butcher gang attack Henry during the chapter 5 village battle) No one fucks with Sammy cause he’s both unhinged as fuck and he has like an army of a devoted congregation ready to swing on you the moment they feel you threaten them or him. Say what you will but I would not mess with him if I was aware of this like everyone down there already is. Of course, Malice still attacks him in BATDS cause he’s on her terf and she has the advantages of her machines and weapons and a gun.

I also feel like people get the type of prophet he is wrong, (even he does) which enforces the idea he gets no respect or has any leeway in the studio.

A prophet by definition speaks or conveys a message for a divine being, Sammy believing that Bendy is his divinity. We know this is not true by the way Bendy treats him, but if you have read DCTL, you know that the ink in general speaks to him and only him this way. No other character describes the ink with such adoration as Sammy does when infected by it; Malice hates it, Allison describes it as a nothingness before something and everyone else actively avoids touching it. This implies the ink chose him and the ink itself is his divine entity… that he rejected. Sammy is a prophet, but has been following the wrong denomination essentially. so he’s a heretic but that’s a whole other can of worms. Of course, he can’t appease someone he was never meant to serve! Sammy is meant to be a seer but acts as a servant. The ink in the book wants him to sacrifice, to spread itself and it’s influence to as many “non-believers” as possible. Sammy in game disregards it, instead honoring one of its machinations, like a golden calf situation read the Bible to get this reference kids.

Even if he is wrong, the ink still chose him and a lot of the ink creatures know not to mess with things the demon or the ink favors. This kinda gets into headcanon and interpretation territory but it’s heavily implied Bendy doesn’t directly control the ink. He can pass through it and is more resistant than it but he again is something born of it. He is a separate being at this point, somehow shambling about with out a soul despite the ink that is full of them. The demon scares everyone cause it can send you back, not because it has any real influences or power over anything down there. It just acts like it does. If this is the case, it makes sense that the ink still influences and controls some of the discretion of its followers. If it really did choose Sammy, and still believes that he can give it what it wants, than whose to say it doesn’t influence the others to follow its prophet? Sammy is devote to his cause, loyal and literally the only protector and being down their that treats them with a twinge of humanity and respect. Mix that with the ink telling you he is a seer than you get people who would follow whatever inane bullshit he spouts.

The other characters are locked into areas or have few allies. Malice stays hidden in heavenly toys, not even waking her own hall due to the threats. Tom Boris and Allison make camps and avoid all other ink creatures. The only ones that seem to travel around willingly are the searchers, butcher gang, lost ones and Sammy. You can call him stupid for it but I see it more as he knows he doesn’t have to worry about much else attack him… disregarding his lord and a few or the more feral butcher gang.

I just think too many people play up the groveling part of Sammy’s devotion when you have to remember how much he has control of down in the ink. That his focus was appeasing Bendy and helping his flock survive. He’s not a god nor invulnerable (Tom Boris made us very aware of that) but I do remember Joey saying he can presented as such over the domain he oversees.

Just like the music department, his congregation is his domain and it benefits him greatly that it is so scattered.

Voltron Hospital AU

Okay so like a month ago I came up with a Voltron Surgeon AU and rambled to @damthosefandoms about it all night, but guess what I still want to talk about it so I’m just posting my headcanons here because why not 🤷🏻‍♀️ 

Some background: 

Heavily inspired by Grey’s Anatomy because I love it (at least until around season ten; I don’t watch anything after Derek dies and Christina leaves because I’m bitter) 

The paladins work at Altea Memorial Hospital 

Keith, Lance, Hunk, and Pidge are residents, Shiro and Matt are attendings, Allura is the chief of surgery, and Coran is the best nurse in the known universe 

The color of their scrubs changes depending on their specialty 

(Putting under a read more because this is pretty long) 

Shiro:

- Dr. Takashi Shirogane

- Head of Neuro surgery 

- Black scrubs 

- Lost his arm in a car accident with Keith during his residency that nearly ruined his medical career. His arm was so damaged from the collision that it needed to be amputated, but Matt made him a prototype prosthetic that wound up working 

- Was out for two years while he was learning how to use the prosthetic, but he eventually became able to do surgery again 

- Is continuously trying to come up with a way to surgically cure ptsd and trauma flashbacks for obvious reasons 

- Crushing hard on Allura, the chief of surgery and his work wife 

- That one surgeon everyone is in love with 

- MCDREAMY 

- “It’s a beautiful day to save lives” 😭 (listen if you don’t watch greys anatomy you prob won’t get the reference but it’s just,,, it’s what Derek always said before surgery)

- I can’t believe Shiro is actually Derek Shepherd who knew

- Was the paladins’ attending back when they were interns and trained them all until their residencies, so they’re really close 

- Shiro had always wanted Keith to go into the neuro field like him, whereas Keith wants to follow his own path. This sometimes causes conflict between them 

- Looks after the residents and comforts them whenever they lose a patient or have a bad day

- DOCTOR DAD

Keith:

- Dr. Keith Kogane 

- Trauma surgeon (so he mainly works in the ER and takes on all the emergency stuff and the more gory surgeries like when someone gets an arm chopped off or is hit by a truck) 

- Red scrubs 

- Shiro’s adoptive younger brother 

- He feels like he has to prove himself constantly because people assume he only got the job because he’s the neuro attending’s brother 

- Pidge’s bff 

- Worked on cars to pay his way through med school 

- Originally got into trauma surgery because he was there in the accident when Shiro lost his arm. Keith was fine besides some cuts and scrapes and a broken bone or two, but Shiro’s injuries were far worse. The worst was his arm, which was super messed up by the impact. It took a while for the paramedics to get there, so it was up to Keith to try and save the arm at least until they arrived because he couldn’t be the reason Shiro loses his medical career, but he cracked under the pressure and in the end, even with all his work to stabilize his arm, they still couldn’t save it and that’s why Shiro lost the arm and Keith will always blame himself for that 

- Kolivan is the trauma surgery attending and a major hard ass, and Keith is his protege  

- Was at the top of their class all throughout med school and he’s a natural with a scalpel 

- ✨ Ponytail ✨ can I get a hell yeah for Keith in a ponytail 

- “Patience yields focus” is his mantra for basically everything 

- Dropped out for half a year during their internships because of a patient’s death that hit him hard. He was performing his first solo surgery and everyone came to watch from the gallery because this was his big moment, this was his time to prove himself. It was supposed to be a simple appendectomy, but something went wrong during the operation. He ended up losing the patient despite working in a blind panic for almost twenty minutes doing CPR until Shiro finally managed to get him to stop and understand that the patient was gone, he had to let it go 

- The whole event really rattled him, and after scrubbing out of the OR he straight up left the hospital and no one saw him back there for months 

- He returned eventually due to Shiro’s coaxing, and in three months managed to make his way to the top yet again 

- Loves his trusty scalpel (you know I had to fit a thing about the knife in there) and he has it with him every time he performs a surgery. He says it’s lucky and has never performed a surgery without it since that first one 

- Shares an apartment with his bro Shiro, but rarely ever goes home because the hospital is his life. He spends most nights in the on-call rooms and is always up and ready to go whenever an emergency trauma comes in 

- Actually wanted to be a paramedic for a while, but in the end chose trauma surgery because it’s more competitive and intense  

-He is so bad at bedside manner and interacting with patients in general; he’s totally the Christina Yang of this au (also Alex Karev too because let’s be real HE IS) 

He’s really quiet and with patients he’s always distant—he tells them what they need to know about the surgery and that’s it. He just sticks to the facts and doesn’t make it any more personal than it has to be 

-He’s the guy who intimidates everyone without meaning to, so everyone’s kinda scared of him tbh. 

But overall he’s a great doctor and works well under pressure, which is why he’s so great for the trauma field 

Lance:

- Dr. Lance McClain 

- Lance works primarily in plastics (plastic surgery, skin stuff, transition surgeries, facial injuries, burns, etc) 

- Blue scrubs 

- He first got into the field because years ago he got into an accident and came out of it with burn scars all over his back and shoulders that he prefers to keep hidden. He specializes in burn injuries because of that connection 

- Hunk’s bff/roommate 

- Keith’s rival all during med school and their internship 

- He competes with Keith a lot over surgeries since Keith is trauma and Lance is plastics, so whenever a burn victim or similar case comes in they fight over literally everything  

- Flirts with all the nurses shamelessly 

- Super good when it comes to bedside manner and even better with kids

- Acts suave and cocky, but he really has a great heart and most of his confidence is an act to hide how insecure he is about his skills that he worries aren’t good enough even though he’s the best plastic surgeon in the state 

- During their internship, he and Keith competed for who would get the reward of performing his first solo surgery. Keith won in the end, and Lance resented him for it for a long time 

- Went into plastics because he likes getting to improve lives, being able to fix what other people can’t themselves. He takes pride in the fact that by doing what he loves, he gets to help people at the same time 

- This is a lot of why he clashes with Keith so much. Keith gets too invested in the surgery itself so much that he often forgets about the patient altogether, whereas Lance sees the patient before anything. He makes all his cases personal and tries to get to know his patients as well as possible so he knows what he’s working for. It makes him feel better about it all if he knows that when he’s finished, he’ll have changed someone’s life and that makes him feel really good 

- I can’t believe Lance is actually Mark Sloan in disguise who would have thought 

Pidge:

- Dr. Katie (Pidge) Gunderson, which is her mom’s maiden name that she uses as her last name, that way there’s not two Dr. Holts because that would be confusing 

- Cardio surgeon because she’s a badass 

- Green scrubs 

- She loves doing the more experimentational procedures with new equipment. Her favorite thing is coming up with new ways to advance the cardio field and make her own mark in the world of medical science 

- (Has to use a step stool during surgery because she’s too short to reach the table rip) 

- Her brother Matt works at the hospital as well, and they’re the ultimate surgery duo 

- Keith’s bff 

- That one doctor who knows everyone’s business and loves gossiping about other doctors with the patients 

- Steadiest surgical hands this side of the Mississippi 

- Once performed an emergency valve repair in the dark and they talked about her around the hospital for weeks it was awesome 

- “Why do you like cardio so much?” “Because I have no heart and operating on other people’s is satisfying” 

- So competitive when it comes to surgeries it’s not even funny. She’ll steal a surgery from right under you and you won’t even realize she did it until you walk into the OR later and find her already halfway finished with the surgery 

- Wears Heelies to work so she can skate into the OR like a cool person 

- She works fifteen hour shifts at a time and no one ever sees her go home or use an on-call room?? Does she sleep?? Is she a vampire?? Was she ever alive in the first place?? No one knows 

Matt:

- Dr. Matthew Holt 

- Matt is the ortho attending, so he specializes in bones 

- Gray scrubs (he doesn’t really have a color, but he wore a lot of gray-ish stuff in Voltron so I’m working with what I have here) 

- Bffs with Shiro and is the dude who strolls into the OR with a bag of chips while Shiro is in the middle of brain surgery to talk about Game of Thrones 

- Was the one who saved Shiro’s arm and got him the prosthetic after his accident. He was working in a medical trial for a new high-tech bionic arm, and he submitted Shiro’s name to be a candidate and he got picked 

- The one who eats everyone else’s lunches in the break room

- (jackson avery jACKSON AVERY JACKSON AVERY)

- The one who fills plastic gloves with helium and gives them to kids as balloons 

- Draws anime characters on people’s charts to make them laugh 

- “Hey why’d you go into ortho, Matt?” “I like shattering people’s bones and this is the only legal way to do it” 

- Plays the Actual Cannibal Shia LaBeuf song on a loop during his surgeries because he claims it helps him focus 

- *sings* ”STAB IT IN HIS KIDNEYYYY” *accidentally does it* “sHIT” 

- But really though, despite being a walking meme, Matt is the best orthopedic surgeon in the whole hospital he’s awesome 

Hunk:

- Dr. Hunk Garrett 

- Peds surgeon (So mainly he works on kids)(He started out med school wanting to go into anesthesiology, but he found he has a gift for pediatric surgery and switched and has been proud of that choice ever since) 

- Yellow scrubs 

- During medical school he was super squeamish and could barely start an IV without puking, but he eventually overcame that and became a fantastic doctor 

- Actual ball of fluff and amazingness 

- Most definitely has a teddy bear pin on the pocket of his lab coat why is this even a question 

- The best pediatric surgeon in the whole hospital and is recommended all over for his fantastic bedside manner and ability to put any patient at ease 

- He’s great with kids and super good at comforting the parents as well 

- Spends a lot of time in the NICU looking at all the cute babies and drags everyone else in there when they’re sad 

- Lance’s bff/roommate 

- Dating Shay, who’s the super sweet neonatal surgeon 

- Always carries around stickers in his pockets and gives them to sick kids to cheer them up. Also to adults who look like they could use a scratch and sniff dancing strawberry sticker because honestly who doesn’t 

- He gave one to Keith once after the guy lost three patients in one day and it actually made him smile a little. It was Hunk’s proudest moment

Coran:

- Coran Coran the Gorgeous Man is the toughest damn nurse in this whole hospital 

- Orange scrubs 

- He’s also Allura’s dad for all intents and purposes after her own father died 

- Also a war vet who worked as an army trauma surgeon years ago, but when he came back he became a nurse because it was a more rewarding field and he wanted to be closer to Allura. It was right after her father’s death, so Coran wanted to be able to help her more since now she has inherited an entire hospital to run all by herself 

- Knows everyone’s business because he’s the nurse whom everyone confides in, so he knows all 

- “That’s why his mustache is so fabulous. It’s full of secrets”

- Knows all the long-term patients by name and stops by their rooms every once in a while for exciting talks about his long treks across the desert with nothing on his back but a bottle of water and a cabbage 

- The head nurse and basically a mom to everyone in the hospital 

- Allura’s right hand man 

- His mustache is fabled to cure cancer just by looking at it 

- Doesn’t have time to remember all the resident’s names, so he has them ranked by height 

- “You know, Keith, you’re lucky Pidge didn’t take that offer to transfer to Hopkins” “Uh, why?” “Because then you would have been the shortest” “hOW DARE—“ 

-The backbone of that whole hospital and he knows it 

Allura:

- Dr. Allura Altea (listen she doesn’t have a last name so I’m working with what I have) 

- Chief of surgery 

- Pink scrubs that nobody else in the hospital has because she’s fabulous and she knows it 

- Actual goddess 

- Tough af and doesn’t take anybody’s crap. Don’t mess with Allura, she’ll make you do push ups in the middle of the ER if you even try it

- Has feelings for Shiro, but because she’s his boss, she tries to keep her feelings under control and stay professional so as not to cause any problems. For real though, they are absolutely work husband and wife 

- Her father Alfor owned the hospital until his death during what was supposed to be a routine heart surgery. His death was really hard on Allura and Coran, the latter of whom is now like a dad to Allura 

- Allura now owns the hospital as well as runs the surgical field, so she’s super busy. But it’s all good because she’s the best at running everything smoothly and she’s just so great okay 

- (Is it just me or is Allura just Miranda Bailey but even more radiant)(the answer is yes, yes she is) 

- Has four pet mice that used to be lab mice, but she got attached and now keeps them in a cage in her office
