He is another oc! Lately I am in love with this new style of shading, where I am using a different brush and also start shading the whole thing as one piece instead of shading the colour individually if that makes sense this includes the outline which I didn't include here but I did it for the golisopod

Headcanons about ink creature biology?
Plenty!
Basic Physiology
Lost ones are beings of pure ink. They have no bones, tissues, or organs of any kind. They merely look human because they percieve themselves as human. Searchers are less able to hold shape because they have less of a mind. It’s possible for a soul within ink to lose themselves so much that they’re only a puddle. Swollen searchers... are just searchers that contain more ink.
Self-perception also factors into what lost ones look like- Sammy is stronger than he was as a human because he’s taking on a role that requires a lot of stregnth from him, and he’s faceless because he’s lost his identity.
Unlike lost ones, toons have a few organs- just enough for cartoon gags and a few basic functions. They have a very basic digestive system, a heart, a few “bones” (which serve no purpose), and that’s basically it for internals. They’re also much heavier than they look due to being made of dense, solid ink.
No ink creature can change their body's shape through eating or exercise habits because... well... they don’t have muscle or fat tissue. It’s all ink, man. Toons can literally "sculpt" themselves to an extent using the ink of other creatures (like Alice does), but that's the only way to permenantly change one's appearance.
Needs
Lost ones essentially don’t have physical needs aside from needing to be near the machine. They can sleep and eat, but they don’t get hungry or tired, so they don’t really need to. It is essential for lost ones to stay mentally sharp in order to keep their forms, however.
Toons have little in terms of physical needs, but they have more in terms of physical wants/drives. To make them act more humanlike, toons will get hungry and tired- however, they cannot die or experience health problems from not having these needs fullfilled. In addition, they need to stay near the machine in order to keep their form.
Toons, due to their lack of essential organs, are very hard to lethally injure. Case and point the butcher gang. However they will feel a realistic amount of pain from their injuries. It’s safer to just immobilize them (like Allison did to Alice), because if you kill them, they’ll melt and be reborn.
All ink creatures love warmth. They can’t die of the cold, but they will seek out warmth whenever possible, and produce no heat themselves.
Heart and Soul
Lost ones are essentially a pile of ink animated by a soul. If you manage to kill a lost one, you’ve essentially knocked the soul from its body, and it will possess another pile of ink within several hours/a couple days.
Toons are more complicated. The human’s soul, as well as the other presences contained within the toon, is contained within their heart, which also allows the ink creature to be reborn in the ink machine when killed.
All toons aside from Bendy have a human soul. Most also have a toon soul, and occaisionally, one will have a demonic soul. Only one entity will control the body at a time, and an entity left unused can fade into almost nothing over time. Once this happens, only a severe emotional shock (such as a trauma response) can bring the presence back. The toon is usually dominant- especially ones Joey made more recently, as he refined the process he uses to make toons over time.
A toon that has had its heart removed will be incapable of thought, or any behaviour aside from wandering around and following basic commands. Brute Boris is an example of this. A toon such as this, when killed, will not revive.
At the end of BATIM chapter 5, did we brake the loop by finally SUCCEEDING to play the last reel? Some ideas and thoughts
What if the reason Henry was stuck in a loop, was that he never SUCCEEDED in playing the last reel to the ink demon? Until now. Think about it, Henry’s messages tell us two things: Don’t turn on the ink machine/leave the studio AND how to defeat the ink demon, how to play the “the end” reel. Now if playing the last reel just starts the loop from the beginning, why would Henry leave hints on how to play it? What’s the point? He should rather leave hints at how to destroy the ink machine or how to avoid the ink demon or something.Â
What we saw at the ending could just have been some kind of a prequel, just showing the players how Joey looks, how it all started, just some information.
But this leads to so many another questions. If i we indeed succeeded to play the reel for the first time, if we finally broke the loop... What happens next?
Do the toons, searchers and lost ones just leave the studio?
How will they react and behave in the real world?
Do they die?
Are they still stuck, because the elevator is broken or something?
Does Henry confort Joey?
Does he call the police?
Will Joey be charged for deprivation of liberty, murder and putting Henry and others in danger?
How will Joey react?
Will the ink creatures being seen as... things? Or living beings with a consciousness?
Will Henry forget everything once again?
If not, how will Henry cope with what he saw? He now knows that MONSTERS, DEMONS, TOONS actually EXCIST!
What about the ink machine? This thing is able to CREATE (at least semi) intelligent BEINGS! This is porpably the most important invention of all time in this universe!
Will Joey ever use it again? Will someone else use it? What happens if it’s turned on again? New toons?
Actually, I kinda hope that playing the last reel is NOT the way to break out of the loop. Maybe the Henry who wrote the messages just didn’t find the right way. Maybe he will write new messages when he does. Or maybe Henry who is played by us, the players, will somehow find out.
After all, it is hinted in chapter 3, that Henry seem to at least somehow remember that he is stuck in a loop. When he is in the area near the Heavenly Toys, he says “Wow, I don’t remember any of this.”Â
Someone who was never before in the studio, or someone who does NOT know that he was in this place, wouldn’t phrase it this way. I think this shows a tiny glimpse of Henry’s memory, where he remembers that he WAS there before, just doesn’t remember how it looked like.
Also, @adobe-outdesign (who also noticed the weirdness of the “I don’t remember any of this” phrasing), purposed that the flashing lights we see several times in the game, are actually Henry’s flashbacks.

Henry also instantly knows that Boris holds the lever hostage and wants something to eat. He didn’t wait for Boris to respond, he just knew.
Maybe Henry will start to remember more and more. Maybe defeating the ink demon increases the chances to make Henry remember or something.
What do you think?
Olivia this Bendy(my version) belong to me
An escape AU no one asked for
So, I came up with this while making a Secret Satan gift, and now I can’t stop thinking about it. It takes some elements from my “like it never happened” stories. Here we go. (Please send asks on this, I’d love to talk about it!)
-Henry managed to knock out Joey and contact the police after one of his loops. The appropriate authorities took care of the rest- taking the ink machine into government research and trained soldiers capturing the souls of all the ink creatures. Joey was interrogated for information on how to help the people he’d trapped and how to utilize the ink machine. He died in prison shortly after these events, and Henry was allowed home.
-The government researchers studied the ink machine and learned how to print functional organs for transplant from it. They also learned how to use the ink machine to create functioning, in-colour human bodies. It was this way that the researchers gradually brought the trapped human souls back into the real world.
-These bodies emulate human function quite well, including producing heat and having a pulse. They still look a bit cartoonish- their skin is completely smooth, with no pores, veins or hair, and they overall look less detailed. Whether this makes them look like airbrushed models or wax robots depends on who you ask.
-Not everyone was able to bounce back. Norman is still violent and mute despite not being in the Projectionist’s body anymore, Allison will never recover her memories, and of course, everyone will have various levels of trauma to deal with.
-Toon presences and demonic presences were given “bodies” which were basically 3-inch cubes. This is how Malice, many demonic butcher gangs, and most of the ink demon will spend eternity.
-Some people wanted to keep the the toons that they’d been sharing minds with, or at least, wanted them to not spend eternity in a cube. Giving these presences bodies that looked like pre-created cartoon characters was comparatively very easy, so the researchers indulged these people.
-Once the people were all released, the ethics of keeping innocent toons in cubes were reconsidered, and many other toons were re-made.
-Henry adopts three of these toons: Alice, Boris, and Bendy.
-Boris is safehouse Boris. Buddy couldn’t keep him, so he contacted Henry about it. It’s how Henry found out about it to begin with.
-Bendy is Dobermutt’s Bendy, basically. Though, now is a good time to mention that Bendy could just have easily emerged as the sensitive, mild-mannered little bean we see in the cartoon shorts. When a character has multiple portrayals, it’s completely random which version the character will come out as.
-Alice was portrayed many different ways in the Bendy franchise. The one that Henry adopted had shared a body with Allison, and she’s basically a 12-year-old little girl.
-While people are very shocked about the existence of these toons, by the time Henry had adopted them, information was available on some details of how they came to exist, so it spares them having to explain over and over.

Breaking the Timeloop, chapter 1: Henry, this is Henry
Thanks for showing support for this, guys. I hope you like it. The first chapter mostly outlines the “laws” of this fic’s universe, which are based on popular Reddit theories of the time. They’re outdated now, but made for a nice story.
---
Henry Stein stepped into Joey Drew Studios, apprehensive as to what he might find. Returning to the studio had seemed like such a small favor to make his ex-business partner and old friend happy. Joey Drew had seemed so remorseful, and so much calmer and kinder than he had been back then. Still, as soon as Henry was staring down the studio's halls, lifeless and decaying  but otherwise unchanged, he was reminded of the time he'd spent working in them. In those years, Joey Drew had shown an ugly, selfish, twisted side of himself to Henry. One that Henry had all but forgotten about. Who knew what he'd wanted from having Henry return?
 With a start, Henry realized that he was holding two objects in his hand, neither of which he recalled bringing in: a strange, hand-mirror shaped instrument, and a book with the words, READ IMMEDIATELY written large in ink over the entire expanse of the cover. Henry obeyed the text.
Henry? This is Henry. This'll come as a surprise, but you're stuck in a time loop, buddy. You seem to lose your memory every few loops. After a few hundred loops, though, I figured that out and started this journal. This way, you can learn from my mistakes and hopefully have a better chance of getting out of here.
I don't know why I'm here. That makes it pretty difficult to guess what needs to be done to get out. My best guess is that Joey Drew put me in this time loop so that I could fix his mess. Keep your eyes out for any indication that this is not the case, but for now, focus on trying to save as many people as possible.
Follow these rules:
1. Write down anything significant you learn. If you end up in Joey Drew's apartment, write everything you need to down, because it'll be your last chance to do so before a new loop begins.
2. Don't be afraid to die. This time loop effectively makes you immortal. Take risks to experiment.
3. Protect this book at all costs. When Joey Drew sends you back into the studio at the end of a loop, transfer it and the seeing tool to your right hand to ensure it will be preserved.
The next page contains a table of contents. This page contains a list of the creatures you'll encounter. Please read it.
Ink creatures in general
Each ink creature was either made with a soul, or took on an imprint. The ones with souls hold the memories of the people they once were. I'll start with the ones with souls.
Sammy Lawrence
Yeah, that Sammy Lawrence. Sorry, bud, but you had to learn sometime that Joey created a real tragedy. Sammy isn't your chipper, if easily annoyed old friend anymore. He's an ink-covered loon who worships Bendy (who I'll get to later) to the point where he's willing to use you as a human sacrifice. He mostly lurks in the first basement floor and second to lowest floor of the studio. However, since he worships the ink demon, he can be anywhere instead of hiding away from him as most ink creatures do. Bendy is still malicious to him occasionally, however. He's almost invariably malicious at first, but there are ways of saving him. See pages 34, 52, and 57 for how to befriend him. He's a powerful ally as he runs a cult of lost ones and searchers. Times befriended: 63/584 (since I started counting) Times killed: 311/584
Susie Campbell/Alice Angel (scarred)
Susie Campbell's soul was transferred into an Alice Angel clone. Be extremely careful around her, as she is capricious and has no qualms with murder. She is mostly found on the ninth floor, where she has a fairly significant portion of the studio sealed up to protect herself from the ink demon. She has access to a lot of machinery in there, and can control the elevator to some extent. Don't fall into her web-she has arguably adapted to surviving and protecting herself here better than anyone. She can also be found on level S. Do not use the elevator unless she either hasn't met you, or is dead. Be especially wary of her if you're traveling with a Boris. She kills them to use their organs. For how to befriend her, go to page 78. For ways to kill her, go to pages 7, 12, and 21.
Times befriended: 3/584
Times killed: 105/584
The Projectionist
A mechanical creature containing the soul of Norman Polk. He shows no signs of sapience. I never liked the guy, but he didn't deserve this. He likes dark areas, but he can be found anywhere because he doesn't have the sense to beware the ink demon. You'll know him when you see him, and when you do, run. There are ways to kill him, though: see page 54.
Times befriended: Â Â /584
Times killed: 9/584
Bertrum Piedmont
Apparently, after I left the company, Joey tried to make a Bendy-themed amusement park which never got off the ground, and enlisted in this guy's help. They were always at each other's throats, and after they were done doing business together, Joey put his soul in an amusement park ride resting in a storage room for all the other unused Bendyland equipment. You'll know it when you see it. Unfortunately, he always mistakes me for Joey Drew, and that makes him almost impossible to befriend: he thinks it's just Joey being a manipulative liar. You must debilitate him before even attempting to befriend him-there is one very specific way to do so. For how to kill him, see page 4. For how to debilitate and befriend, see page 49.
Times befriended: 69/584
Times killed: 415/584
Lacie Benton and Grant Cohen
By using the seeing tool, I have detected their names on coffins. These same coffins hold the corpses of the others that were killed. It doesn't take a genius to connect the dots. At least one of them is a Lost One, it would seem, as at least one Lost One can talk and remembers its name. Lacie worked for Bertrum. She was probably killed because she was suspicious of Bertrum's whereabouts, but that's speculation. Grant Cohen was likely killed so that Joey could keep the company's financial matters secret.
Alright, now onto the soulless creatures. You probably can't save these, but they can still seriously help or hinder your quest.
Butcher Gang Members
Kill on sight. They have no signs of sapience and are invariably malicious. There are many copies of them.
Boris (perfect)
Almost invariably benevolent. The time spent with him (generally in his safehouse on the second basement floor) is like time spent with family. Down here, that kind of moral support is scarce and invaluable. However, he can be a serious liability if you run into the scarred Alice Angel. If that happens, keep him away from her at all costs. If she does get him, well, try to remember that he doesn't really have a soul. Just an imprint, seemingly of Wally Franks (laid-back, goofy, friendly, weak-willed, etc.) Though, that doesn't seem to keep him from feeling a fondness for me, or from feeling pain. I'm sorry Henry, but you're often gonna have to kill your dog. Alice hulks him up and turns him against you. For how to kill, see page 4.
Times befriended: 437/584
Times killed: 239/584
Alice Angel (unscarred)
She lives on the second-to-lowest level of the studio with a Boris clone she calls "Tom." She's generally benevolent. I suggest you recruit her early, as her combat skills can really come in handy, and, as I've mentioned, good company is scarce. When you meet her, show her your seeing tool. She has a tendency of thinking of you as some sort of savior, but she sees the seeing tool as some kind of proof of that. Her imprint could honestly be of anyone, but she's calmer than I ever knew Susie to be and has a rather feminine personality, so I'm going to guess it's Allison Pendle, who was hired to replace Susie as Alice's voice actress. For how to kill her, go to page 63.
Times befriended: 289/584
Times killed: 38/584
"Tom" Boris
Tom is a very distrustful, hardened Boris clone. He is often the main obstacle to befriending Alice. Sometimes, he can even convince her to imprison you. He is very useful in combat and situations involving strength, however. Don't try to befriend him: befriend Alice, and she'll convince him. And whatever you do, don't harm her, or look like you might harm her, in front of him. By his personality, he seems to have the imprint of Thomas Connor.
Times befriended: 260/584
Times killed: 38/584
Lost Ones and Searchers
Can't lie, don't know what these are. Some are malicious, some aren't. At least one can speak, most can't. By the same token, only a couple seem to have their own personality. I don't know if they have souls or not. I just know that when I am engulfed in the ink, I can hear their thoughts. It's like they're simultaneously one voice, and many. Their methods of combat often make them seem like a hive mind.
Bendy
Almost everyone in the studio fears Bendy. He's very powerful: he can teleport using posters, can only be killed or hurt by seeing the end tape of his cartoon (you read that right. See page 3.), and can send any creature back into the inky abyss with a single touch.
Because almost every interaction I have with him includes running away, I have not been able to get a good sense of his personality. However, I've noticed a pattern: he ceases to attack anything after he has killed a creature with a soul. He doesn't go after others without a soul, though he doesn't mind coming close enough to them to melt them into the tendrils of ink that follow him everywhere. I think he wants a soul. Maybe that's why he's after me.
I have not yet made allies with the ink demon. He doesn't seem to take sacrifices of a souled creature- in fact, he reacts with disgust and outrage, injuring (often mortally injuring) the sacrificer before coming after the sacrifice. The only exception I've found is if the person was defending themselves.
This shows me that Bendy has standards for other people but not himself. He uses everyone he can use, and is willing to stomp on and destroy anyone he can't. There's no question in my mind who his imprint is: Joey Drew. Nonetheless, his demonic powers lead me to believe that he might know something about how to save these souls.
 Henry stared at the page a long time after he'd finished reading, as though that would change its words.  Deep down, though, he knew that three pages of his own handwriting hadn't spontaneously appeared, and he definitely didn't remember writing them. He flipped through it to find that there indeed were over seventy pages to it, all in his own writing. His stomach sank as he realized that this was entirely real. "Oh, Joey, what have you been doing?" he whispered to himself.

I hope you guys enjoy this. I hope it’s not too similar to The Draw of The Pipes. Sorry it’s so long- I might split it in two for the AO3 version.

It was three weeks after downing the ink, and Sammy felt like hell. He supposed that it was just the ink doing whatever it had to for it’s cause, but right now, it seemed to want to give him stabbing pain in his head and tie his stomach in knots. It didn’t used to be this bad- he used to just feel like this, or least, almost this bad- after eating. Now- well, he’d have trouble keeping anything down. He would have gone for medical attention a week ago, and had run the idea by Joey, but Joey said that if he did that, they might be able to figure out their secrets. Sammy supposed he was right.
