SO FUN FACT
Y’ALL WANNA KNOW WHAT MY FAVORITE TYPE OF HORROR IS?
THE KIND WHERE EVEN THE MONSTER/ANTAGONIST IS IN ABSOLUTE PSYCHOLOGICAL AGONY BECAUSE I AM A TERRIBLE PERSON
Oh yeah, you know what time it is.
INK DEMON HEADCANON TIIIIME!!
& it’s an ACTUAL headcanon now, cause I got nothing to really back it up too much, at least in comparison to the alternatives to it.
So
Ever since the first chapter of the first game, one of the most popular interpretations of the Ink Demon was that this entity WAS Bendy, at least mentally.
That he thought like Bendy, maybe even had some of his memories…
Like he was ripped from his cartoon home & brought into the real world, but with a terrible consequence in the form of his body being fucked up.
Or something like that.
So…
I personally do not like that interpretation.
I’m fine with other people seeing it that way (hell, I find it really cool seeing other people’s different interpretations & reimaginings anyway), but if you want my thoughts on it…
I like to believe it’s a lot more… heartbreaking than that.
I mean, think about what it must be like to be just… living & having this weird body that was supposed to mirror a fucking cartoon character.
Imagine you’re just an entity brought to life with no prior memories or experiences, yet your body was molded to look like & represent a cute character, a MASCOT…
Imagine having to be locked up because you don’t look like that character enough…
Imagine trying to live your life with a face that doesn’t truly belong to you…
Imagine having to suffer the duality of wanting to have been perfect to get better treatment from your “creator”, but also not wanting such a face cause it’s not yours, & it’s not who you are.
Imagine having to deal with the fact that everyone around you will see you as a twisted version of that cartoon character you were SUPPOSED to be, something you had no say in to begin with.
Like…
I’m convinced my guy has MAJOR identity issues & doesn’t know who exactly he is.
Being Joey’s little antagonist in the cycle doesn’t help either, cause in THERE, he’s the enemy of the guy Joey was trying to torture, someone Inky’s never even MET before but was just… pinned against to please Joey.
Hell, perhaps we could get CHEESILY metaphorical & say Inky’s trapped in TWO prisons: the cycle (obviously) & his own body, forever stuck looking somewhat like the Bendy character, doomed to forever be associated with Bendy, even if he doesn’t want to be.
So even if he were to get out of the cycle or even the studio, his own body would keep him tied to that name, tied to Bendy, tied to the people who were behind the films for Bendy, tied to Joey Drew Studios…
Making it incredibly hard if not impossible to move on from those traumatic events…
So perhaps THAT could be another reason why he’d be too afraid to leave the cycle if given the opportunity…
Cause he’s afraid of having to deal with that impossible challenge…
…
…
I am so fucking cruel to this poor thing. HWDIWNDIKDOCKS
HE’S SUCH A FASCINATING CHARACTER TO WRITE FOR THOUGH
IM SO GLAD THE BOOKS & BATDR FLESHED HIM OUT
PROBABLY ONE OF IF NOT MY FAVORITE HORROR MONSTER NOW CAUSE OF IT
He’s deliciously complicated.
Yum.
HWIDWJDO I am a menace.

Listen, staning politicians is bad. We must remain critical of people in power.
However it is funny to watch Republicans act like this man is the devil incarnate.
This is democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz Gov. Of Minnesota. This man looks like if a capybara was a person. He looks like he'd pull over on the side of the road and help you change a flat tire. He looks like he'd offer you hot coco from his thermos if you were out ice fishing with him.
