#batdr headcanons

So at the end of BATDR, bendy is in the real world or something and. Imagine he just like. Lives at the studio and acts like an office cat. Evil, mischievous shithead but he’s so sweet and cute and nice. He’d get on top of a shelf and not be able to get down for an hour and wait for Audrey to help him. He’d run around and knock stuff over and be completely oblivious. He’d lay and sleep in your lap so you’re stuck at your desk during a lunch break. Because you won’t wake that adorable little guy up, you monster. But he’d also sit and be cute and bring you shiny things he finds. And little drawings.

discalmer i own nothing everyting belongs to the rightful owners please go and support them and be nice

wilson is one of the only few that calls sammy by his full name the others being henry joey jack and susie

wilson would tell the cycle bearkers that while they can fight the darkness throrgh out the cycles they can’t fight the darkness within their souls

jack is still around and visits sammy and henry 

sammy sings when the keepers arn’t around

henry has seen bendy before 

henry sometimes see joey 

the keepers also expariment on the cycle bearkers as well

audrey

is actually bendy's daughter.

think for a moment, why the hell is it that when audrey and bendy fuse, they become beast bendy? hell, why can audrey so easily control beast bendy?

cuz bendy tore off a part of himself to make audrey.

if we think for a bit, if the ink machine is in the real world, that means it's a real thing, and it (more than likely) brought something to life at least once, in this case, bendy.

for me i hc that the ink machine was first made to just pump ink through the studio, and then modified to create like 3D printed models of gent equipment, and then eventual, an attempt to make a really cool attraction to the studio, that being a walking talking bendy.

it failed so miserably they essentially shoved bendy back into the machine, and to keep it there, they used the illusion of living to distort its reality, making the ink machine also be where the ink realm is.

now, lets say you're an all powerful demon, able to control ink, but unable to escape your horrid realm. it's become more of a prison for you. and for the first time in years, perhaps hundreds of thousands with your distorted sense of time, someone in the real world wants to actually give you a break, and try again at making something living.

you want to leave, this idiot is trying shit, you can manipulate this realm yourself at this point, and your body is malleable. it rips off a piece of itself, shaped it, and sends it, hoping to finally escape.

but it gets sent back, slaughtered. nothing more than black coagulated ink. and the man on the outside ask again "give me a daughter".

it's reliving it all over again. "it's not good enough. you're not good enough. it's hideous. what will the people think of this monster?" but it strives and strives to make this girl "perfect". getting closer and closer, but constantly getting this little piece of him killed off and shoved back in, and this feels like more torment. this is more torment. making something over and over, when you are an imperfect demon, at first hoping this would be your way out, but slowly being broken down more and discouraged. this girl, this thing it makes calls the ink demon its father, and on the outside calls him "uncle joey", just to be killed off. and slowly the demon grows attached to its own creation, this one, lonely part of itself that its forced to push out for joey and its own selfish reasons.

Henry and Norman prefer all your bts stuff (also Norman would defo be supplying everyone with slime tutorials)

Y’ALL WANNA KNOW WHAT MY FAVORITE TYPE OF HORROR IS?

THE KIND WHERE EVEN THE MONSTER/ANTAGONIST IS IN ABSOLUTE PSYCHOLOGICAL AGONY BECAUSE I AM A TERRIBLE PERSON

Oh yeah, you know what time it is.

INK DEMON HEADCANON TIIIIME!!

& it’s an ACTUAL headcanon now, cause I got nothing to really back it up too much, at least in comparison to the alternatives to it.

So

Ever since the first chapter of the first game, one of the most popular interpretations of the Ink Demon was that this entity WAS Bendy, at least mentally.

That he thought like Bendy, maybe even had some of his memories…

Like he was ripped from his cartoon home & brought into the real world, but with a terrible consequence in the form of his body being fucked up.

Or something like that.

So…

I personally do not like that interpretation.

I’m fine with other people seeing it that way (hell, I find it really cool seeing other people’s different interpretations & reimaginings anyway), but if you want my thoughts on it…

I like to believe it’s a lot more… heartbreaking than that.

I mean, think about what it must be like to be just… living & having this weird body that was supposed to mirror a fucking cartoon character.

Imagine you’re just an entity brought to life with no prior memories or experiences, yet your body was molded to look like & represent a cute character, a MASCOT…

Imagine having to be locked up because you don’t look like that character enough…

Imagine trying to live your life with a face that doesn’t truly belong to you…

Imagine having to suffer the duality of wanting to have been perfect to get better treatment from your “creator”, but also not wanting such a face cause it’s not yours, & it’s not who you are.

Imagine having to deal with the fact that everyone around you will see you as a twisted version of that cartoon character you were SUPPOSED to be, something you had no say in to begin with.

Like…

I’m convinced my guy has MAJOR identity issues & doesn’t know who exactly he is.

Being Joey’s little antagonist in the cycle doesn’t help either, cause in THERE, he’s the enemy of the guy Joey was trying to torture, someone Inky’s never even MET before but was just… pinned against to please Joey.

Hell, perhaps we could get CHEESILY metaphorical & say Inky’s trapped in TWO prisons: the cycle (obviously) & his own body, forever stuck looking somewhat like the Bendy character, doomed to forever be associated with Bendy, even if he doesn’t want to be.

So even if he were to get out of the cycle or even the studio, his own body would keep him tied to that name, tied to Bendy, tied to the people who were behind the films for Bendy, tied to Joey Drew Studios…

Making it incredibly hard if not impossible to move on from those traumatic events…

So perhaps THAT could be another reason why he’d be too afraid to leave the cycle if given the opportunity…

Cause he’s afraid of having to deal with that impossible challenge…

…

I am so fucking cruel to this poor thing. HWDIWNDIKDOCKS

HE’S SUCH A FASCINATING CHARACTER TO WRITE FOR THOUGH

IM SO GLAD THE BOOKS & BATDR FLESHED HIM OUT

PROBABLY ONE OF IF NOT MY FAVORITE HORROR MONSTER NOW CAUSE OF IT

He’s deliciously complicated.

Yum.

- He is 6’0. The ideal height lmao

- He has shoulder-length hair, but doesn’t care enough to brush it. All the ladies in the studio probably hate him for that-

- His favorite instrument is the violin, but piano is a close second

- He likes Wally. He just gets annoyed easily and doesn’t understand how Wally keeps loosing his keys

- Either despises coffee or is an avid coffee drinker. Can’t decide. He doesn’t strike me as a casual coffee enjoyer, tho. It’s one or the other

- He always has an extra hair tie around his wrist incase the one he’s using decides to snap

- “I’m surrounded by dumbasses. But they’re my dumbasses.”

- Probably Demiromantic/Demisexual or something. I don’t see him openly looking for relationships, but I also don’t think he’d be opposed to the idea.
