Bendy Trailer Analysis
Audrey is an artist working on bendy cartoons. But she’s not working for Joey Drew Studio’s, she’s working for Arch Gate.
More hints to Joey being Bendy?
Joey also has a red bow tie
This must be Nathan Arch
There seem to be two factions in the game: pro-ink demon and anti-ink demon.
Wilson, aka the Unknown, seems to be in the anti-Ink Demon camp. And so is Allison... hmm... Yeah, I’m in the pro-ink demon camp, i don’t trust either of those two.
Wilson says “for 211 days you lived without the Ink Demon”. oddly specific number. I checked what happened 211 days before the trailer, because i was hoping it would one april 14th, but it was actually april 4th: 404. Either they released the trailer 10 days sooner than they intended, or the 211 days is referring to something else.
Weird symbol, i wonder if it means something.
I wonder if all those items will be usable in the game?
This guy seems to be a new character after all, i don’t recognize the voice.
For a moment there I was hoping it would be Buddy Lewek, but alas, it’s not a reference to Buddy from the books.
If she’s not one of the characters from the books, I will be massively disappointed.
This is interesting... fourth what? Outsider coming into the studio, like Henry?
This bendy has got to be either Henry or Joey Drew. Also notice the dripping eye. One-Eyed bendy! One-Eyed Bendy!
Wilson also only has one eye. Hmmm.. not sure if the eye-symbolism in the first game was for bendy or for him?
IT’S COMING OUT IN TWO WEEKS GUYS!!! TWO WEEKS!!!

Happy national siblings day ! Every year I like to draw my oc siblings, and this year is no different ! It’s always fun to draw and talk about their dynamics.
loyalist haramitsu and his older brother tatsuo who's been banished for hosting and has a greater reputation, for better or worse. These two have very differing ideologies and personalities and haven't spoken to each other in a few years, which might be for the best.
twins ian and amber, who are quirky in their own ways but ultimately support each others interests, whether it be ian helping with amber's band or amber partaking in ian's radio show.
another hosting and loyalist sibling duo audrey and big brother nathan, though these two are better at hiding their intentions and have reunited after years of not seeing each other. Maybe they'll continue to get along if they keep their interactions surface level.
pseudo edgy siblings zack, little sister meghan, and their oldest sister crystal, who is not only more popular, but is the literal clone of their mother. i'm sure that's not rubbed in their faces.
cool chill morgan and their tense little sibling simon, who are yet another strained relationship in which morgan is determined to make things right again. but it'll take more than jokes to get in simon's good graces.
twins skylar and naomi who spend most of their time by each others side looting and fighting and begrudgingly covering each others asses. but they wouldn't have it any other way.

duke crocker is the only motherfucker that loved audrey for who she was instead of what she could do for them. nathan didn't get obsessed with her until after he realized he could feel her, and the ONLY reason brody was attracted to her at all was because she wasn't fawning over him like everyone else. audrey parker had three love interests and two of them only liked her because she's immune to the troubles
and don’t even get me started on the fucking narrative foil status of audrey and duke, which, while not always explicitly romantic, ALWAYS makes for a more interesting character interaction than "guy who is just there."
i like the three of them as a poly group, and i like nathan and duke as a pair, but nathan and audrey as a couple are shit tier compared to duke and audrey and it's actually kind of wild to me that that seems to be the unpopular opinion here.
tumblr, looking at a man who went back in time to sleep with a previous incarnation of the woman he claims to love, whose decisions regarding said woman are never anything short of selfish, controlling, manipulative, and horrific, up to and including the last thing we see, which is her being ERASED FROM EXISTENCE so a different woman can live in her body so HE can be happy (making it painfully clear that the only reason he was EVER attracted to her was her immunity to the troubles, and didn’t have ANYTHING to do with her as a person, since he effectively killed her and put her face on a new person): awww so sweet #goals #otp

Meanings of names. Batim/Batdr edition!
Hello there! I'm back with another name meanings list! This time it's the Bendy verse, because it was immortalized (Hehe heh get it) yet again, and I couldn't be more excited.
So! I will be doing the primary characters for both games, BUT not all of them. I’ll be doing all the folks from Batim, since there aren’t as many as in Batdr, which added a TON of new characters and I for the live of me can't do them all. It would take me an eternity, so there... So, I won’t do those who had like one tape or memo. Sorry. I also will not be including characters from the comics or the books. Yeah. (but I can do a part 2 if you guys want ehehehehe)
Let's go!
Toons (not doing the corrupted versions, they’re technically the same)
Bendy. I'm pretty sure that Meatly made it up from the name of some editing program. Something something Bender, not sure.
Boris. From a Bulgar Turkic name, also recorded as Bogoris, perhaps meaning "short" or "wolf" or "snow leopard". Hey! Literally a wolf!
Alice. From the Old French name Aalis, a short form of Adelais, itself a short form of the Germanic name Adalheidis, which means "noble type". Hmm, I like it! Fits her. I’m obviously also counting Twisted Alice and Allison Angel. They all have the same name.
Charley (one of my favourite characters hehehehe). Diminutive form of Charles, which means "man". Literally. Just man. MAN. That’s it. I guess that fits... Charley is, after all, A MALE. Yeah.
Barley. Means “grower of barley”. Lmao. Just like that.
Edgar. Derived from the Old English elements ead "wealth, fortune" and gar "spear". I mean... I guess? He has nothing to do with spears, but he’s got fangs. They’re sharp. Spears are sharp.
Humans (from here on going in alphabet order)
Allison Pendle. Norman French diminutive of Aalis, so basically the same as Alice. Cool! She’s very sweet, so it fits for her as well!
Audrey Drew (putting her here because I don’t really count her as an ink entity). Medieval diminutive of Æðelþryð, which is derived from the Old English elements æðel "noble" and þryð "strength". Oh, she sure is strong!
Bertrum Piedmont. Means "bright raven", derived from the Germanic element beraht "bright" combined with hramn "raven". Uhhmm. Ooook then. Not sure where the raven comes from.
Daniel ”Buddy” Lewek. From the Hebrew name דָּנִיֵּאל (Daniyyel), meaning "God is my judge". Nuuuu, Buddy:( I still feel very bad for him... Man, poor guy.
Grant Cohen. From an English and Scottish surname that was derived from Norman French grand meaning "great, large". Well, his boss had GRANT plans for the studio (please don’t hurt me, I know the pun is bad).
Henry Stein (the man!). From the Germanic name Heimirich meaning "home ruler", composed of the elements heim "home" and ric "ruler". OOOOHH, i love it! Considering he is the actual creator of Bendy, he technically is the ruler!
Jack Fain. Derived from Jackin (earlier Jankin), a medieval diminutive of John, which itself is derived from the Hebrew name יוֹחָנָן (Yochanan) meaning "Yahweh is gracious". Maybe Jack is jewish? It’s unlikely, but I literally don’t know what to say here.
Joey Dr(ew). Diminutive of Joseph, which was from the Hebrew name יוֹסֵף (Yosef), meaning "he will add". Endless torment, that’s what he’ll add. Ugh, poor Henry.
Lacie Benton. Variant of Lacy. From a surname that was derived from Lassy, the name of a town in Normandy. I couldn’t really find anything else, so...I guess?
Nathan Arch Sr. From the Hebrew name נָתָן (Natan) meaning "he gave". Wha- what’d he give? A new chance for Bendy to be relevant again? Idk, really.
Nathan ”Wilson” Arch Jr (please don’t hurt me, but I kinda like him as a villain... Like, yeah, he’s creepy as all heck, but isn’t that kinda the point? So there, I said it). I will be doing his moniker, since duh. The name comes from an English surname meaning "son of William". Eeeehhhh, almost fits, just replace William with Nathan.
Norman Polk (eeeeyyyy it’s ma dude!). From an old Germanic byname meaning "northman", referring to a viking. Now that’s interesting. I can’t tell English accents apart very well, but I saw someone say he’s got a southern accent. And then there’s NORTHman. Hmmmm.
Sammy Lawrence. Diminutive of Samuel, coming from the Hebrew name שְׁמוּאֵל (Shemu'el), which could mean either "name of God" or "God has heard". Lmao, I guess his god really did hear him. And decided to fucking murder him.
Shawn Flynn. Anglicized form of Seán, which on itself is the Irish form of John, so basically the same as Jack.
Susie Campbell. Diminutive of Susan. This was derived from the Hebrew word שׁוֹשָׁן (shoshan) meaning "lily" (in modern Hebrew this also means "rose"), perhaps ultimately from Egyptian sšn "lotus". Oh, maybe those are her favourite flowers!
Thomas Connor. Greek form of the Aramaic name תָּאוֹמָא (Ta'oma') meaning "twin". OH he and Buddy are technically twins! Or, well, clones.
Wally Franks. Diminutive of Walter, which comes from a Germanic name meaning "ruler of the army", composed of the elements wald "rule" and hari "army". Pffft, he’s the ruler of the army that got OUTTA THE STUDIO, yeah ok it fits.
Ink entities (not doing Sammy, Jack and Norman for obvious reasons)
Betty. Diminutive of Elizabeth. From Ἐλισάβετ (Elisabet), the Greek form of the Hebrew name אֱלִישֶׁבַע ('Elisheva') meaning "my God is an oath". The heck- did she turn into Sammy?
Big Steve. Short form of Steven, which derives from the Greek name Στέφανος (Stephanos) meaning "crown, wreath". Uhh, I guess? Is there something that we have yet to discover?
Heidi. German diminutive of Adelheid, which means "noble type", from the French form of the Germanic name Adalheidis. Damn, what’s with all the nobles? Unrelated, but I love her bowtie.
Porter. From an occupational English surname meaning "doorkeeper". Oooohh, ok then, he technically is one.
And that’s it! Whew, took me quite some time. Please do tell me if you want a part two with the other folks! I’m not sure, when (and if) I’ll make it, we’l have to see.

Have you seen Matpats new theory on Bendy and the Dark Revival?
Yeah, I've seen it.
Alas, it's wrong. I loved the way he managed to make the memory items meaningful and the connection to Tessa is interesting and gives me a lot of thoughts and theories of my own. But Nathan didn't open an animation studio until after Joey's death, and Tessa was still alive at the time. We know this, because he mentions visiting the animators in the same audio log where he talks about bringing the hotdog to Tessa.
And yet... those memory items the way they seem to be tied to Wilson is extremely interesting to me, and I want to propose a different theory: what if the items were never meant to have been Audrey's memories, but rather Wilson's? Not in the sense of Wilson's soul somehow being inside Audrey, but simply because Wilson's mind is affecting the ink world in the same way that Joey's did before?
Remember when I complained that despite being told that Wilson has control over the world, we never saw the same signs of it as we did with Joey (eg. the paintings on the walls being the same as inside his apartment, and some of the writings on the wall clearly referring to him?)
What if the memory items are this to Wilson? Bits of his mind and memories materializing inside the world under his control?
Some more evidence:
The icon for achievement for collecting memories looks like the eye used to symbolize Wilson in the game
A lot of memory items can be found in places connected to Wilson or Nathan
One of the items mentions roadtrips, but that's unlikely to be a thing Joey did with Audrey, given that he was wheelchair-bound.
And finally, notice that the description on the items is extremely vague about the gender of the child they belonged to.
