So, GLITCH has just teased their first voyage into the realm of 2D animation, Knights of Guinevere! And it’s a sci-fi psychological thriller created by the Dana Terrace? Safe to say, I’m excited for the pilot to drop later this year!

But in all this excited buzz, I haven’t seen many people speculating on what this story could potentially be about just yet. So, with what little information we have, I’m gonna try and take a crack at it!

does it say anything important?

Oh my god, I’m so sorry—

I’m not really one to make long winded essays on stuff, but I feel like this one needs to be addressed (if my thoughts seem incoherent and rambleish, I am currently writing this at 2 A.M., so if my points come off as confusing, it’s probably sleep deprivation). With MatPat’s current release of his livestream covering Welcome Home, the collective fandom as a whole has been swarming to his video to preach the creator’s boundaries/slander him for even breathing near the project, which has made a lot more issues within the community prevalent, most notably: gatekeeping.

Recently, Clown has been taking a break from the project and social media, due to the sudden boom of popularity surrounding the project, as well as issues with his personal boundaries regarding it, such as NSFW work being made of his characters. The fandom as a whole, has seemingly taken this message to heart, and are doing their best to make sure those boundaries are respected.

Now, this in itself isn’t too much of an issue, But what IS an issue is how most people are going about it. Clown himself stated that he doesn’t want people going around policing people on his behalf, and yet most fans are going around screaming in anyone and everyone’s face and are completely willing to bite off any heads of anyone with a high enough social platform that even speaks of the project(See MatPat), as well as pretty much size up any and all fans post Clown’s Announcement.

I know I made a post joking about how MatPat found out about Welcome Home and the end is nigh and stuff, but, guys, listen to this: MATPAT MAKING A VIDEO ABOUT WELCOME HOME ISN’T HIM HARASSING THE CREATOR, NOR IS IT IMPEDING ANYONE WHO JOINS THE FANDOM POST BREAK ANNOUNCEMENT. Yes, he’s a big creator covering what was a small art project turned online success, which can be stressful, considering that the creator was already stressed from Nightwing bringing attention to it, but calling him and his fans roaches and treating them like hellspawns for even engaging with it is a bit overkill. I know, MatPat ‘s judgements seem a little silly, and we all want to make sure Clown can recover peacefully, but none of what MatPat does is breaching any of Clown’s boundaries. He just made a video, like everyone else, plain and simple. Going around slapping anyone who makes a video on it/new fans with rules and regulations, and acting like them interacting with the media is toxic and impeding on Clown’s rights comes across as telling people, “IF YOU SO MUCH AS BREATHE NEAR THIS MATERIAL, YOU ARE A TOXIC, INVASIVE ASSHOLE!!! CLOWN IS STRESSED, SO IF YOU WANT TO HELP THEM, GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE, AND NEVER SPEAK OF THIS PROJECT AGAIN!!!” Which will alienate people from the project altogether, and also give Clown and the Fandom as a whole a reputation of Oversensitive Pussy who can’t handle having his work out on public platforms and their EchoChambering White Knights who coddle him like he’s a toddler. Clown himself has stated that the attention itself isn’t a bad thing, just overwhelming.

This project means a lot to people, and I know we just want to make sure Clown is okay, but instead of yelling in people’s faces on what they should and shouldn’t do, we should just try to make sure that we follow these rules, with the occasional gentle reminder to anyone breaking them, instead of policing people who didn’t even do anything wrong, which isn’t what Clown wanted.

Okay, is it just me or is the way Bendy’s described always wildly inaccurate compared to how he actually is when shown?

Like, they keep on describing him as a mischievous little twerp, always stirring up trouble, but in the official shorts and BATDR, he acts more like a timid child. Literally, the only time where the whole “mischievous” label actually fits is in the Crack-Up Comics Collection.
