I don't have very many headcanons on him hhh

Around Buddy's age, 17-18, and thus one of if not the youngest worker in the studio.

Oblivious to Joey's demon magic secrets despite witnessing lots of shady events. Even Joey's shocked

Big ADHD energy

Hair is ginger and curly

Freckles. Everywhere

Wants to be friends with everyone, but only a few return the friendship. Ie: Shawn, Henry when he was around, Susie, Allison, occasionally Thomas

Related: Susie saw him as a little brother

Got distracted easily by the band playing, watching the art department draw, Norman working on the projectors, etc..

Dunno if this is a headcanon or more of an AU since he canonically Got Outta There, but he's specifically the Boris Henry stays with(Buddy is the Dark Survival one).

Turning into a Boris really messed him up, and made him much less easily trusting. Henry was the only one he felt really comfortable around and safe enough to play jokes on.

Ok I’ll put more detail than last time.

It’s not something I ship in my AUs (merely because of how I write the characters I don’t find it fitting). But I do like the dynamic if written right.

I’ve recently read a few Sammy x Henry fanfictions that we’re really well written. It’s a ship that I really like, and adore reading about and seeing the cute shipping art of them!

Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 5 | Part 6

“This is a serious matter stop laughing!”

Ooooohoho this boy

Wasn't always so snappy and high-strung. He used to be strict or could come off as rude, but Joey's deadlines, credit for work, getting stolen, and general poor workplace sorta wrecked him

Good friends with Henry before he left; they were the OG crew under Joey. He felt betrayed when Henry left.

Used to wear nice clothes to work before the pipes were installed.

Can play all different kinds of instruments.

Dated Susie for a bit before it crashed and burned with Allison's hiring and Susie's transformation into Alice

He's a bi disaster and let's pretend that the world of JDS is nice and there's no homophobia

He's a bit of a sheep(ha) and can be dependant on orders or rules. Joey over worked him, but he took comfort in that there was always something to do, and he always felt like he had a purpose.

Similarly, he used to be Christian, before the ink and betrayal wrecked his faith in any higher being.

He was shockingly lucid throughout turning into an ink creature; drinking ink made him durable and retained his mostly human shape and tried to vaguely toon-ify him, hence the three fingers. The pain and sensation from the ink led to him undressing in a blind, pained panic to "get it off," and that's my little explanation as to why he's blatantly shirtless :')

He's got somewhat below average eyesight as an ink creature, hence why he violates Henry's personal space when almost recognizing him

Loves and protects his flock, and prides himself in keeping them in line, before he ordered them to kill Henry anyways

Has probably met Alice, but doesn't remember.

Still plays his banjo and will play a song for the searchers if they're ever restless

He was originally going to go easy on old man Henry, but seeing the guy now down his searchers and squash Jack made him reconsider

He'll fall asleep in the music department or in Jack's office sometimes, beside the searchers.

While he preaches to the whole music department, they don't actually buy the Bendy being a savior thing. He's the only one worshipping him, and he's spread his word far and wide.

Uses the ink as transportation, mostly in the upper levels because it's easier. The deeper you go, the thicker the well is, and the harder it is to use the ink as portals. Stress and injury can also affect it.

He still drinks the ink. Not, like, off the walls, but if he finds an ink well he's gonna drink it

After being nearly killed by Bendy, he lost his sense of purpose for a while, before sorta loosing it because he couldn't cope

Ink Sammy's got no feet. I simply refuse to accept the updated model giving him feet and shoes. He can't run because he has no feet and adrenaline's the only reason he hauls ass after Henry in chapter 5.

The "he will set us free" messages in the deepest parts of the studio are old, from when Sammy visited very early on. Nobody actually worships Bendy down there.

He intimidated all the lost ones in the Lost Harbor. He wasn't "holding them back" so much as scaring them off because they didn't want to get caught in the crossfire.

Up until Tom put an axe in his head, Sammy's not once died. In those 30 years, he was durable and took everything thrown at him until then. That's why he regressed into a barely coherent ink creature that only had enough mind to find his old mask.

Eventually Jack reforms after being crushed, recognizes searcher Sammy, and leads him back home to recover.

Nathan x Henry: hmm...gonna say I don't ship it on this one. I don't know too much about Nathan but from what I've read he's a bit of a snake

Johnny x Murray: again a no; there's nothing much to build off and I side with the "Murray is an address" view

Dr. Hackenbush x Grant: I Do Not Trust Dr. Hackenbush, nor do I really remember him when reading the novel hh so eeh on this

Thomas x Bertrum: Oh they hate each other. I think Bendy Land came first, and was shut down when Joey found Gent + demon magic would work better for bringing cartoons to life. So Bertrum holds a spiteful hatred for the man who took part in tearing his park down. And, later in-game, for also ripping Lacie apart.

Murray x Joey: nope
