Gluttony

Lowest quality shit I've ever posted but GUYS. I AM INSANE ABOUT THIS.

Context, studio mdhr is working on 2 new games and announced it at summer game fest!

And the concept of cuphead and mugman growing up to be long ways is EVERYTHIBG TO ME. I HAVE LOST MY MIND

ACT4: The Heart Never Lies Prev. < Page 72 > Next

I'm not gonna lie to you, I wrote that poem about a video I saw of a kid playing minecraft 😭

I’m always interested in how people write family because it’s such a complex and emotional element.

I’ve noticed in your writing, especially in MOTM, there’s a strong presence of family, specifically siblings. Bendy & Boris, Cuphead & Mugman, Mickey & Oswald (I suspect... maybe Willie as well), they’re all family/siblings (blood or otherwise, doesn’t matter. They consider themselves as such, so that’s what they are). 

The reason I ask is because I know the idea of “family” can mean very different things for every writer.

For some, family is the end all be all. Family is family till the end, no matter what. I think the best example I can think of is Jinx and Vi in Arcane. They’ve hurt each other, they’ve caused each other immense suffering on both ends, and by all means it would be understandable, maybe even reasonable, if someone thought the best decision for both of them would be to never interact again, and yet they keep choosing each other, even in alternate timelines. They’re sisters and they would never fully throw that bond away. 

The conversation that sums it up pretty simply is:

Jinx: “Are we still sisters?” Vi: “Nothing is ever going to change that.”

So I guess my question is: what does family, especially sibling relationships, mean to you as a writer?

Do you see family as something unconditional? Or do you think there are limits where a familial relationship can become too damaging, beyond saving, even between siblings?

And when you write character dynamics like Bendy & Boris, Cuphead & Mugman, or Mickey & Oswald, are you exploring an idea of “family” that’s personal to you, or is it more about the kind of emotional storytelling you’re drawn to?

This is an EXCELLENT question thank you so much for asking this

Family is a BIG factor in literally every single story that Fly and I create together.

Fly and I's sibling relationship of course plays a big role into how we write, as it's an important part of our (or atleast my own) life.

It's taken a lot of stormy waters to get our sibling relationship to where it is now, and I won't lie and say that I made it easy.

Fly is very strong and they are the best sibling a guy like me could ask for.

Sibling relationships in media are a hit or miss situation, which is unfortunately a big factor into why I don't watch a lot of anime 🫩💀 (YES I KNOW NOT ALL ANIMES, SOME ARE GREAT BUT YOU CAN'T DENY.... THE AMOUNT... OF TIMES. MOVING ON)

Then you get cartoons like Gravity Falls who portray a lot of nuance in the ups and downs of a sibling relationship, and how many sides to one story there can be.

QFTIM's portrayal of sibling relationships was, well what's a light way to say it; Atrocious. You can tell that the author was mainly inspired by shitty anime tropes and characterizations.

But there was a reoccurring theme that followed each of the pairs; "The struggling younger sibling doing their best to keep their struggling older sibling afloat"

And that stuck with me. It hit really hard because what a tragic story to tell. It's as intriguing as it is sad, and unfortunately rings very true with so many families.

I'd rather not spill my own guts out here to a bunch of internet strangers but growing up a lot of life wasn't super kind to me. l understand what the older sibling goes through but I sympathize with how much the younger sibling has to take up.

In QFTIM, a lot of the sibling conversations unfortunately boiled down to gaslighting and guilt-tripping the other into doing what they wanted, whether it was Q!Bendy constantly holding his death over young Q!boris, Q!Cuphead guilting Q!mugman into not being friends with the b-bros, Q!Mickey guilting Q!Oswald into speaking (very indirect but its there)

I'm not saying it can't happen but i'm saying that Quest portrayed those things as either "Good" things or "Rational" things to say to the other. Which was bullshit.

In a lot of Au's, the cup-bros specifically have a tumultuous relationship, and it seems like usually Mugman grows tired and irritated at Cuphead and eventually snaps or leaves him altogether. Which is fair for those stories tbh i don't blame mugman LMAO

In myth, however, something brought them back together. All I can say is that their love for each other never faded, even when they were apart.

Family is never a end-all thing, Family is a word that represents love and connection. Something that ties you to a group of people by your own hands.

I think of the word "Family" like a string with a knot, and the knot is always in your hand. That string that binds you to your family is something that can either be tightened, or pulled loose, but no matter what the string is always in your hand

"The Blood of the Covenant is Thicker than the Water of the Womb"

Family comes from you, and the people who are willing to connect and love you, not just the people you were born with. It's up to you to tie that string tighter, or pull it apart.

I BEG YOU DONT SKIP🚨

Tell me, how can my voice reach your hearts ?

Words are no longer enough to capture the tragedy my family and I endure.

My name is Wedad Shadi, I am 15 years old, and I live in Gaza, Palestine.🇵🇸

Our home was completely destroyed, and now we live in a torn, fragile tent. We are a family of 7, and my mother, father, and my little sister Mira were injured when our house was bombed.

My mother and Mira are in urgent need of medical treatment, but we have nothing to pay for their care, not even food to survive.

My mother and my sister were injured during the war. I am terrified of losing them… please, don’t leave me without my mother and sister. They need urgent help to survive.

They desperately need medicine and medical treatment, as shown in the videos. Every moment without help is a struggle for their lives.

Please, I beg you… save them, help us, and give them a chance to live. 🙏💔

I have started school, but I could not register because I cannot afford the fees.

Please, I beg you to help us. Donate to save my mother and my innocent little sister before it’s too late. Every contribution can save a life and bring hope to a family in desperate need.

Every day we wake up to the same reality: destroyed homes, no safety, no stability, and needs that keep growing.

People think the pain paused… but for us, it never did.

Even with a so-called “ceasefire,” nothing has really stopped.

The explosions, the drones, the fear — the violations never ended.

And our suffering definitely didn’t.

Your support is the only reason many of us manage to keep going.

Your donation 🙏🙏 — no matter how small — can mean medicine, food, warmth, and a little bit of dignity in a life that’s been stripped of everything.

Please, stand with us. Don’t let this struggle fade from the world’s attention.

We still desperately need you to get back on our feet.

Hello friends,

I hope you are doing well. It has been more than two years since the genocide, as you know. I once had a previous donation link, but GoFundMe deleted it.

Now is the time we need your support the most. The war may have ended, but the tragedy has not. Prices are still very high, and winter is approaching. There are many difficulties and risks — such as the worn-out tents and other hardships.

We are all in need of your help and support.

If you cannot donate, please write posts about me and talk about my story. I have become part of this community and have lost many friends due to account closures. I also face a lot of criticism for using translation tools or accusations of being a scammer.Iwant to draw attention to the fact that English is not my first language, and I always need help to communicate better with you.

In fact, our tents are worn out and not ready for the winter, as we were bombed three times during the ongoing war. I’ve attached below several photos showing the shrapnel that fell on us and caused the tents to tear apart.

Right now, I need your support — at least to provide tents for the winter so that we don’t face difficulties when it rains.

Please donate & share

Hello friends,Thank you for your continued support, but I would like to inform you about something. Recently, donations have become very low or almost nonexistent. I don’t know exactly why, but I believe it may be due to the presence of many scammers. Unfortunately, there are some people who exploit others. However, my campaign has been reviewed and verified by trusted individuals.

I am responsible for taking care of 8 members of my family, and there is no provider or source of income for them except me. The situation is extremely difficult. The war has not ended every day there are many innocent people losing their lives for no reason.

Prices have risen drastically. For example, even a small plate of vegetable salad now costs more than $10, and many other basic items are very expensive. In addition, the value of the dollar has dropped against the shekel, where $1 is now about 2.9 shekels, while it used to be around 3.8. There is severe inflation and a very high increase in prices.

So please try to support me. If you are unable to donate, you can still help by sharing. I am trying my best to take care of my family.

Please donate & share

Please help us, even $ is important to us 🥹🙏💔

Here you can donate with peace of mind 👇👇❤️

I’m writing this to explain our situation in Gaza as clearly and honestly as possible, without exaggeration.

Right now, daily life is unstable in every aspect. There is no reliable access to electricity. When it is available, it’s only for short and unpredictable periods. Charging phones or using basic devices has become difficult, which also limits communication and access to information.

Water is a constant concern. Clean drinking water is not always available, and when we find it, we have to store and use it very carefully. In many cases, people rely on limited or unsafe sources. This directly affects health, especially for children.

Food is also limited. There is no normal access to markets or regular supplies. Meals are simple and often not enough. People are not choosing what to eat they are taking whatever is available just to get through the day.

Housing is one of the biggest challenges. Many families, including ours, are no longer living in proper homes. Instead, they stay in temporary shelters or tents. These conditions are difficult: high temperatures during the day, cold at night, no real protection, and no privacy. Sleeping is irregular, and rest is limited.

Healthcare is extremely hard to access. Hospitals are overwhelmed, and basic medical supplies are not always available. Even minor health issues can become serious because treatment is delayed or unavailable.

There is also continuous psychological pressure. The uncertainty is constant. People do not know what will happen next, where they might have to move, or how conditions will change. This affects both adults and children on a daily basis.

This campaign is for Anas’ family. The goal is simple: to secure basic needs like food, water, and safer temporary shelter. There is no unnecessary request here only essential support to get through this situation.

Every contribution, no matter how small, makes a real difference in covering these needs.
