Shave and a Haircut

The Great Chuck E. Cheese Debate

Holy wow this entire update was SO MUCH and SO PEAK and I wanted to share a realization I had about Cuphead's dream -- cw: mentions of & thoughts of suicide:

The entire sequence is absolutely phenomenal visual storytelling that really drives home the psychology behind Cuphead's self worth and views on the world.

We get to see up close and personal just how entangled that gambling addiction is to how the world works in his mind. He starts off on a roulette table, which naturally turns into a game of Russian Roulette.

And the fantastic symbolism that the first part of himself he kills is his gambler self. That version of him is what got him and Mugman into the messes they've been in time and time again, it's what's cost him his home, his family, his relationships. He feels absolutely no remorse over that gambler version of him dying.

But then...

He sees his younger selves wanting to participate in this dangerous game...

And he panics. They are the little innocence remaining in him (not to mention the versions shown here are time capsules of two very distinctly traumatizing events for him).

His immediate response is to take the gun to protect them.

And then...

In the next panels, he tries to empty the gun on himself. Why? To save his younger selves.

Besides... aside to the gambler self already he killed off, he sees his current self as the least worthy of sparing out of all of them. He will not take the chance that his childhood selves could die in this game of roulette. Plus, he's protecting them. So what if he dies? They'll be safe then, and it'll be for a noble cause. It'll redeem him, maybe, even if only in death.........

...and then... much to his disappointment......

Once again, he can't die.

And it's the first time we ever actually see him lose his cool...

So unbelievably peak, my jaw was on the floor the whole time and my gut was in a big ole knot from how hard it hit. Thank you both so so much for taking your time in researching and accurately representing nightmares and dreams. The whole surrealism sequence was so well done, it really thoroughly captures how PTSD dreams work, especially because it's not obvious what specific memories dreams are pulling from. Down in our subconscious, it's hardly ever the events themselves that matter, but how they made you feel and how they affected you since.

YESSS

OH THIS MAKES THE WHOLE UPDATE SO WORTH IT. TO HEAR EVERYONES THOUGHTS AND ANALYSIS ITS PERFECT

#Myth AnT

One, is there a tag us yappers/theorists/analyzers should use for theories or comments about motm?

And speaking of said people, how are you and fly feeling about seeing all the theories and analyzing?

lets make one together, how about

#meta of the machine ???

or musings of the machine??????

When we update live, We sometimes have a special event for those who are reading while we update for the server and the account

While bendy's "dream" was playing out, we changed the whole look of the account to show that something was VERY wrong. and inside the server, absolute CHAOS unfolded. The machine was freaking out and the mods were left to deal with the outcome!

In the server, the machine speaks to the readers who are actively listening and gives them coded messages to debunk! It adds a little bit more interactiveness to the story!!

So while we updated, the machine itself would talk to the server members and i even employed our mods to have a script ready to play along!!

Its fun for the whole gang as well as the authors!

But overall, I just wanted to Thank you and fly for the big update! It was so amazing and so horrifying with Bendy‘s dream! That was such a good idea changing the banner and pfp! Thank you Thank you again!!!! I hope you both get some good rest and sleep!!

he liked sheba's hair

I FORGOT THE COCONUT TOM DATED IN HIGHSCHOOL i'm a fake fan 17 lashes to my back ):

I cant stop thinking abt this.

Is there a reason why cupheads name is written like this? Or does this have some mysterious meaning?

Or is it simply bc he's is dreaming?

"Cuphead" and "Mugman" are just nicknames

Many people interpreted this in their own way but the intention was to show that: Since cuphead can't read, everything just looks like symbols to him.

Recognizable symbols! But they are jumbled up and hard to read.

Mugman stole them off of a bully who was bigger than them

I hope you're doing well, TYSM FIR THE UPDATE!! You and fly really smashed the art out of the park in this one!

I just wanted to ask abt this!!

DID YALL SWAP DANDYS AND BENDYS FACE???

(ANYWAY SUPER DUPER WELL DONE, THIS WAS MY FAVOURITE UPDATE. YOU AND FLY DID AWESOME!)💛‼️

1) I wanted to show how distorted Mugman's dream reality and memory are. That might not even be the proper time for that poster to have even existed. Point being it shows that this is a dream and reality is warped

2) I DID THAT AS A JOKE AND LAUGHED REALLY HARD AT IT AND FLY SAW IT AND BURST OUT LAUGHING TOO

WRONG!!!

Boris' would imply that there are several bori present and that they are all possessing a single thing.

If there are several borises, and you called them Bori, then you would be correct in saying Boris'

BUT!!! His name is BORIS! The "S" being present in his name already! Ergo

In certain cultures, specifically asian cultures

It is respectful to take off your shoes before entering a certain area as a sign of respect.

This is also true when you are entering a "Celestial realm" or "Beyond the plane of existence"

aka: If you know you are leaving this world.

He wouldn't want to leave with the gift Mugman had given him. He wanted to atleast leave those in tact.

We are so happy to elicit these emotions from y'all, we get so happy to hear your reactions and your analysis!!!

Aaaaa we hope you all enjoyed this special episode! We've been waiting so long to finally draw it all out and post it!!!!
