You can take my survey if you: 1.) are over the age of 12 2.) like Bad Things thats how low the bar is. you dont even need to have played the game

Even if you have no opinions about shipping, you should fill out the form. it'll be fun i promise. theres a treat at the end! who doesn't like a treat at the end?

send this to all your badthings obsessed friends even the ones who dont have tumblr. i actually dont care

be honest, and please dont submit the form multiple times if you can help it

TAKE MY SURVEY. GIVE ME DATA: via Google Forms

alt version of my previous post because the quote made me think of someone

Question #122: Should I move away from my abusive family?

Inspired by this post.

Extra room screenshots:

I'm thinking about developing a Bad Things entry for my roblox psych horror x asym concept (which isn't an actual game idea, I just wanted to make music and have fun with concept art.) I'm kind of unsure about which characters to include.

The obvious choice is Ivan as a killer and Andrew as a survivor, but I'm hesitant to go through with that idea because I feel like it would be in bad taste. Like, is it respectful to the source material for the abuser to chase his victim around with an axe, PVP-style? I don't think so.

SO. I'd like a second opinion on this because I can't seem to settle on an idea. Below the keep reading marker are some pros and cons I've considered

Pros and cons:

So, I had this thought: "what if I put Roblox psychological horror characters in an asymmetrical horror setting?" and my first instinct was "no that's a horrible idea." And it kind of is! I don't think this should actually be a game or anything. But I was interested in the music of Forsaken and Dead by Daylight and wanted to compose some character-inspired tunes, so that's why I'm here.

My musical vision for Dex was something energetic, yet violent. He's a trapper who specializes in getting survivors exactly where he needs them. Collect his pages invitations!

In light of my recent discussion about Ivan's canon personality, I think it'd be fun to share some stuff from my brain!!

Ivan

Andrew is— was his only friend

Ivan's a total shut-in. He spends most of his days inside, watching TV or talking to Andrew online (which he obviously can't do anymore but yknow)

He's got a crook in his neck and dog shit posture, probably from looking at screens. He's totally aware of this but does nothing to change it

His diet is also terrible. He's no chef and is quite lazy. Since he's miserable, it's easy for him to reach for sodas and sweet treats

Ivan's closet is full of sweaters. Yes, they're all blue

UNSKILLED. No hobbies no job no friends no future. He's insecure about not having these things, but doesn't do anything to change his situation. It's like he just... decided he's doomed to be a nobody, even though he never tried not to be. And then he feels sorry about it! He hates being confronted on the fact that his misery is his own fault, which is why Andrew couldn't help him out of it. This should sound really familiar if you've read the analysis :)

He's bad at lying and will usually go silent or change the subject when he doesn't want to tell the truth

Ivan grew up with most of the adults in his life telling him he's a good writer, so he thinks it's the only thing he's good at

Ivan has a complicated relationship with his mom. He doesn't really like her lmao. She calls often, but he never picks up. This has been going on for years (Note: this is canon in the Bad Pizza AU!)

Planchette pendant — a gift he received from a friend of the family at his dad's funeral. Tbh this is mostly a design element to replace the ouija board pattern on his shirt since I didnt want to draw allat. He keeps this necklace tucked beneath his sweater and doesn't really acknowledge its existence. Part of him believes it lets him speak to the spirit of his father... but another part of him knows that's nonsense.

Ivan is 5 feet and 11 inches tall. One inch short of that gold standard. Just another reminder of how inadequate he is

Andrew

Andrew is very claustrophobic. He hates small and enclosed spaces, especially those that are man-made. Cave diving would probably stress him out less than being inside a closet

Andrew is uncomfortable with being touched. Always ask first. Ivan doesn't do this and scares the shit out of him with unexpected contact

He grew up with body image issues, so he wore a lot of baggy clothes to cover up. His self confidence is something he's been working on, but the clothes stay... they're just comfortable

He's very perceptive. On top of being good at reading people's emotions, he has an acute sense of hearing. The sound of a lock clicking or the floor squeaking is enough to make him raise his head like a hound

Andrew picks at his skin and doesn't realize it. It's a bad habit. He also has trouble keeping his hands off of injuries, always rubbing bruises and picking scabs. Ivan used to stop him when he noticed Andrew doing this, but he doesn't acknowledge it anymore

Andrew is multi-talented. He has to be, if he's making his games solo. He codes, he draws, he writes, he 3D models, he composes. He's not the best at everything but he is certainly a jack-of-all-trades

He values being able to cook for himself. He's pretty adverse to treats and likes eating healthy foods. For him, the ability to have control over when and what he eats is empowering.

Andrew is 5'6. He was a short kid in high school and used to get bullied for it, but he doesn't care about his height anymore

Misc

Ivan and Andrew met online as adults. By the time the story begins, they had met in person a few times — but they'd never seen each other for multiple days at a time. For me this explains why they know each other but also kinda don't. People are also more filtered online, so Ivan had a lot of time to mask his true colors
