#inkpop

inky bubbles? blotpop? inkpop? bloppy? sigh..

NO BECAUSE WAIT, my mentality for this horrendous ship was, poppy is really popular. Shes on pop bottles, commercials, AN ENTIRE DRINK DEDICATED TO HER. I wouldn't be suprised if she was widely known and sought after

Now of course it could just be fly and nort adding nice little refrences to the pop from dandys world. But NOOOOO im no average citizen, I have been doing this for YEARS I WAS THERE WHEN THEY WWRE SHIPPING ELSA AND JF DONT PLAY

jokes aside they're just something thats in the back of my head all the time every day of my life since motm, and you're kinda my go to for more interesting dynamics OTHER than the copy and paste bendy straw we've gotten since babatqftim (no shade to anyone who likes it i just really cant stand bendy straw anymore(

I feel like their dynamic would be a little complicated, bendy seeing her as the average dandy minion, and envying how well shes accomplished to make her mark in the world ALONGSIDE dandy (not like him but you get what im saying) and poppy not even acknowledging his existence until some type of confrontation inside of gardenveiw where bendy calls out her alleged "prissy-ness" during some type of meeting or when the crew is walking around gardenveiw??? Im not the best when it comes to the scenario making

i cannot be happier with being the go to for any non-bendystr*w ship - like asker, no shade, they just have literally everything and it gets tiring. where's the variety people?? why are we cycling through the same four ships

i'm assuming this is some au where gardenview is more of a entertainment thing alongside the health aspects for poppy to be well known, which honestly i've thought of before and i love that idea hehehe

in any case, i definitely agree with you on the envy. bendy baby sweetie bear, he cannot stop his negative traits if he was hanging over a vat of dip by a fraying rope

he is SO envious of this girl - and in my mind she's like 24 which is not helping. she's everything he wanted to be: she found success young. she found that success alongside dandy, not overshadowed but uplifted. she's on the path to potentially becoming a star in her own right if she wanted to follow that! and oh he HATES her for it

for poppy's part: she couldn't care less about him

well, that's not entirely right. all of gardenview is a bit on edge about dandy's infamous ex - even if they don't know the history, it's not often he openly dislikes someone. they're all on edge with bendy (again: au where they aren't whatever sheltered bioengineered creatures they are in canon)

she's friendly, though! why wouldn't she be? she's got no personal grudge against him, and it's not like she's close enough to dandy for that grudge to transfer like with astro

she's not a pushover though, so when he eventually snaps, she doesn't take it lying down, and calls him out for being an unreasonable dick. he's basically a kicked puppy at that, but it does change his mental image of her as this happy bubbly girl who couldn't hurt a fly. he respects it - kinda likes it

do i think they'd be healthy? hell fucking no. he's 1000% living vicariously through her, trying to experience the life he never got to have

INKLINGS AND OCTOLINGS HAVING A BLAST DURING A NIGHT OUT! : O

Sorry for sharing my sneak peak so late, my laptop was out of commission for a while!

I made a 5 pg comic for INKPOP (@inkpopzine)! You can grab it here until TODAY! It's a Charity zine and the profits will go to Food Baskets for Gaza!
