Ello!! I’m really enjoying your Cycle 360 au! If you can’t give any hints as to Henry’s power, would you mind me taking a guess? I’d guess it’s something to do with creation? Or maybe it lets him do something with the dark puddles? Maybe he can shape ink into objects like those 3 little machines we see around the studio? Or what he draws can happen or spring to life?
I’m also guessing that the mystery person is Wilson from the beloathed comment and that he did something to the Ink Demon since the voice was weak. Also the first chapter implies that there’s a ghost Henry (or Joey’s insane) and that some people have escaped before into some kind of void?
Anyways this silly little au is great and I love it. The doodles are very silly and your artstyle is very nice! I really enjoy your Malice Angel design she looks so menacing I love her. I love Boris and Henry’s moments of mutual “Sammy what the Fuck” the most though!
youre INCREDIBLY close with these guesses for henrys power, and i appreciate your theories! definitely on the right track. i dont want to completely spoil exactly what it does, but since i havent updated in so long ill give you the name as a treat. its called redemption, and is basically supposed to have the opposite effect as audreys banishment, with some added side effects... correct about wilson being the mystery writer for the in-between chapters. theyre supposed to be his little journal entries :) as for the prologue, it takes place before the events of ink machine and this au. its supposed to show the creation of the cycle itself, and actually takes place during the book Fade to Black. if you want more details surrounding that event, or context to why henry is there at all, i suggest reading that book! that one and the others before it are all completely canon to this au. sorry it took me over a week to respond to this, i wanted to make sure i made a good enough drawing for such a lengthy ask. im glad youre enjoying it enough to have all these questions!!! thank you so much for the inbox <3
