ITS BEEN ONE WHOLE YEAR SINCE WE STARTED OUR JOURNEY AND WE'RE STILL JUST ON CHAPTER 2!!
All jokes aside, this is a love letter to all of you from your good ol' pal Nortsauce. We couldn't have made it this far without your support and love and creativity.
I'd be honored if you read it :]
When we first started this project, fly had to cajole me into getting into the story a little bit, as I was a little intimidated by the premise. They burst into my room at around 2-3am holding Hailey Senpai's voice dub right to my still-waking face, and made a bet with me saying "I bet you could rewrite this." I was hesitant. But after seeing so many awesome rewrites, I say down and decided "Ah what the heck. Lets have fun with it."
And WE rewrote it :]
We spent nights upon nights throwing ideas at each other, sitting in our bedrooms at 9pm for the last few weeks of June, hammering down what we wanted and using our giant whiteboard to write out a timeline.
By the time we had come up with a pretty good premise, fly said that it was too fun not to do an ask blog, just like the good ol' days, but they were scared to do it. This was another point of my hesitancy, as my previous ask blogs were kind of stressful. I told them to do whatever they wanted, but they never did it.
Finally, i got the stick out of my ass, and I made it for them. I made the hyperlink, I made the hashtag system, I set up the profile and i spent an HOUR figuring out the stupid "Read from the beginning" link (that was later) I made a pfp and fly made a banner.
And it was done!
It never would have happened if fly and i didn't just say "Screw it." And forced each other to start the project.
Now we are here, we have a wonderful community, we have so many ideas, and best of all (my personal favorite)
We have so many new stories being told!!!
It feels like i'm a kid again. I'm always excited to talk about ideas with fly, discuss with friends, answer silly questions, see all the comic dubs, the art, the fan fictions the poetry the songs.
That people are loving creating art again.
I hope to see so much more. So many more stories, so many more characters, so many ideas, so many new friends.

Okay so Iāve been radio silent for a little while thanks to my crippling Hollow Knight addiction but Iāve come back and I wanna share some stuff that Iāve figured out about my MOTM x Hollow Knight au which Iāve de to name The Dark Infection for now
First things first letās start with the layout of our setting shall we? It took me probably a little bit to figure out what exactly I wanted to do with the layout but I finally figured it out.
So essentially the whole kingdom (because itās a kingdom run by king because thatās how I wanted it) is underground but there are different levels where different people live depending on their status. The king and anyone who works for him and such live on the very top level, nobles live on the second, necessary workers live on the third level (farmers, clothes makers, etc.), and peasants and other poor folk live on the fourth level which is the second closest level to the only entrance to the ādark levelsā which is where monsters and vicious creatures live.
The fifth level of the kingdom is a bit different than the rest. Itās the level that criminals and such tend to stay because of how far it is from the capital and how the King doesnāt bother to check on it.
What is also down on the fifth level is none other than The Devilās Casino. Now unfortunately the devil isnāt really the devil in this au for plot purposes but he essentially still acts the same but instead of stealing souls he just makes people bet their lives so he can force them to work for him (or just kill them depending on how he feels).
Now thatās all Iām gunna tell ya for now, but if you guys wanna know more about the general au or just more about a particular character then Iād be more than happy to oblige:)))
Guys I have the beginning/prologue of a MOTM and Hollow knight inspired au in my drafts but I dunno if I wanna post it :\
Itās mostly text because Iām more confident in my writing than I am in my art but I dunno if people would actually enjoy an ask blog thatās mostly written story with bits of art thrown into it
Okay I have more MOTM thoughts that came to me while I was a work today.
Okay so we know that Cuphead has never been to school and stuff and we also know that he likes to gamble (love is probably a better word but I digress)
I was thinking about that and I had the thought that Cupheadās best subject probably wouldāve been math if he actually got a proper education. My reasoning for this is mostly because a lot of games that people gamble on have to do with counting and probabilities (which is technically a facet of math).
Now of course this relies on Cuphead actually being a decent gambler which is dependent on how you look at him I suppose
I may be entirely off track here but I remember reading something somewhere that gambling was essentially a lot of math but that could be completely wrong

Okay so I know that Ink Beach is a thing that exists but Iām currently having myself a little summer fun by chillaxing in a kiddie pool and I was thinking about the MOTM boys and a pool party so Iām gunna write down some of the headcanons Iāve come up with while sitting in this comically small pool.
Also I live in the south where on a good day itās upwards of 90 degrees so Iām basing these on that and my experiences
1.) I think that during the summer months Boris is in water as much as possible considering all of his fur and such so I fully believe that itās not uncommon for him to spend entire days in a pool or creek just so he can keep cool properly
2.) To me Bendy is that guy who loves going to pool parties and is always dressed nice somehow even though heās in a swimsuit but then doesnāt get in the water. At most I think he dangles his feet in for a bit but I donāt think he likes to fully submerge himself (Boris definitely drags him in every now and then)
3.) Cuphead is that one asshole who goes around and dunks people constantly and is also the one who brings out huge water guns and just starts causing mayhem with them. He also forgets about sunscreen and burns super badly
4.) Mugman has an inner tube that he sits on and floats around with and he will come after anyone who dares to even try and flip him over *cough* Cuphead *cough*. Actually reapplies sunscreen properly and doesnāt burn.
5.) Mugman wears swimming trunks with a light blue to dark blue gradient and pink flowers on them
6.) Cuphead wears red swimming trunks with white and black stripes across the bottom. He initially has a tank top on with it but he takes it off pretty quickly.
7.) Boris doesnāt care about having actual swim wear and will just wear a random pair of shorts.
8.) Bendy will wear whatever he feels like with no shame. Bikini? Sure why not. Swim trunks? Yep. Both? Absolutely. He also owns at least one super cute coverup for when he does wear bikinis or two pieces.
Thatās all I got for now:) fill free to add to this, Iād love to hear other peopleās opinions!
I was gunna start working on a doomed BendyStraw fic tonight but unfortunately my anxiety is being awful so instead I think Iām gunna scroll through ship tags until i fall asleepš
Okay Iāve had this idea all day and so I just rushed out this short fic for it and I hope you enjoy:)
Warning, there are events of MOTM mentioned in this!
Again this was very rushed:p
SMASH!
Tinkā¦
Tink..
Tink.
āCuphead! What did I tell you about being careful?!ā The words rang out dramatically loud in the dense quiet of the living room as the two brothers sat surrounded by boxes of all shapes and sizes.
āCalm down Mugsyāit was just a plate, nothinā important,ā the red coded cup spoke, his usual tone of carelessness present in every word.
āIt doesnāt matter if itās important or not, I told you to be carefulāwhy canāt you just listen to me?!ā Mugman face scrunched up in frustration as glared over at Cuphead.
āRelax Mugs it was just an accident,ā Cuphead grumbled as he raised his hands in defense. āIāll clean up alright, I promise.ā
āWhatever just clean it up before it breaks moreāand donāt drop anything else!ā The younger twin grumbled as he turned back to his own box, frustration lingering on his face.
āYeah, yeah, I got it, donāt get your straw in a twist,ā Cups murmured as he left the room to find the broom to clean the broken porcelain.
ā¦Broken porcelainā¦.
The sound of shards of broken porcelain was muffled as they hit against the soft dirt of the forest.
Mugman watched, horrified, as he watched his brotherās lifeless corpse clatter to the ground. The gun fell from his hand as he froze in place for a moment, hesitating for only a second before he rushed over to his brother, a horrifying guttural scream leaving him as he ran.
He was just hereāhe was just fine. He was just cracking jokes about what was happening, but nowā¦..
Mugman sunk down next to Cupheadās body, his hands immediately moving to shake his shoulders in hopes his soul would appear intactāthat he wasnāt completely gone.
But nothing happened.
Mugmanās chest heaved as he felt his head start to grow fuzzy. He couldnāt think straight anymore as thoughts started to flash across his mind in rapid succession. Images of his brother, of him, the devil, dice, that demon and his stupid wolf brother.
āI killed him,ā the words fell from his mouth in a quiet whisper. āI shot him.ā He could feel tears starting to gather in the corners of his eyes, but he didnāt let them fall.
He stood up slowly, grabbing ahold of Cupheadās gun as he did. He pulled his scarf up around his head as he walked over to his own gun lying in the dirt, two shots left in the chamber.
āThis is his fault, not mine,ā Mugman muttered under his breath as he grabbed his gun, trying desperately to tell himself he wasnāt the one who killed his brother.
When he stood back up he was met by the horrific sight of his brother standing in front of him. His face was horribly cracked and broken and his mouth was stretched into a sickeningly large smile.
āAre you sure about that little brother? Youāre the one who pulled the trigger arenāt you? My, my, my, whatever happened to being careful, hm?ā

I saw a bunch of clips from SapphireStudios stream last night and now I canāt stop saying āCurrently I have Felixās credit cardā in as close of a voice as I can get to Mickeys
OKAY OKAY I WANNA TALK ABOUT THE MOTM BOYS SOME MOREā
Okay so a big thing of mine is video games (some, usually older ones but I digress) and so I wanna tell some of my headcanons about the boys and video games so here we go:))
Now I lean more towards the first one, mostly because I enjoy thinking about him playing Undertale and making a point to always do a pacifist route or him playing Stardew Valley every chance he gets
Bendy - This guyā¦ā¦is tough to pin down with topic for some reason, but I really feel like he likes games like Raft or The Forest but only specifically when playing multiplayer (heās definitely a rage baiter). I think he enjoys gathering materials and making stuff, ya know?
Cuphead - The only thing he does is rage bait. I donāt make the rules.
He definitely gets Mugman to play Minecraft with him just to constantly find ways to kill him or still his stuff and then laugh his happy ass off when Mugs starts yelling at him.
Aside from the rage baiting part of it though, I think heās a horror guy. Like I think heās played more horror games than the entire group combined. I also think heās the kinda guy to get one of his friends to play a horror game and then constantly rag on them when they say that the game is scary because heās so incredibly desensitized to it at this point.
Talked Boris into playing Outlast once and it will never happen againāBoris lost any and all trust heād gained for Cuphead that day. āItās just a documentary gameā his ass
Mugman - As much as I love him I donāt think he plays video games much. I definitely think heās more of a board game or just read a book kinda fella.
When he does play video games itās one of two kindsāorganization games (think unpacking) or shooter games (cod, Fortnite and such). The shooter games are far and few between however because if he plays them too much then he runs the risk of breaking the controller or keyboard heās using due to rage.
He will occasionally play games with his brother but it doesnāt happen very often because of Cupheads rage baiting nature. He does enjoy playing Raft with Bendy though! Bendyās much more tolerable usually.
Okay there it isāI totally didnāt spend an hour writing this or anything hahahaha
Confession timeāIām not caught up on MOTMā¦ā¦like at allā¦
Like Iām like 3-4 months behind on actually reading it, but I donāt avoid spoilers so I know a lot of whatās happened and whatās going on I just donāt know small details unless I see a tiktok about them
And to be honest Iām like this with a lot of media Iām a fan of because the thought of sitting down to watch or read something with plot is scary so I just watch my Minecraft and Resident Evil videos instead because thatās more manageable to my brain
That being said I really do wanna sit down and read through all of MOTM even if itās just to see more Mugman because every piece of art of him other than my own is so SCRUMPTIOUS
Like honestly if anyone wants to do an art trade I will gladly attempt any piece of art you want so long as I get art of the glorious mug himself and Iām so serious about that
