Hackenbush’s log #2 - Contemplation
I’m not entirely surprised something like this happened.
That’s not to say I expected our ship to get shot down. I don’t think anyone could’ve predicted that, and I’m still in… quite a state of shock from it. Don’t think I’ve ever been this terrified before.
But at the same time, this is just the sort of thing that happens when you’re with Joey Drew. He’s not unlucky, per se… more like a magnet for the unexpected. Crazy things happen to him, and everyone around him, for the better, and for the worse.
I wonder if he and Susie made it. I hope so. Joey never considered me anything more than a colleague, but Susie and I were friends, and I know her heart would break if she lost him.
I got a radio message about a rendezvous. It’s only been 3 days since the crash. Didn’t say who ordered it, but so soon after planetfall, it wouldn’t surprise me if it was Joey. He always has been impatient.
I think that’s why he had such difficulty being taken seriously. It made him seem… amateurish. Can’t rush a project and get any kind of decent results, but he always wanted to anyway.
He probably sees all this as a “minor setback”. If he’s alive, that is.
All of this ain’t to say he’s not brilliant. Bright as a star and sharp as a knife, that one. Maybe that’s why he was so impatient; to him everyone else must seem dreadfully slow.
But I think it was more that he got so focused on his goal, that anything that didn’t directly bring him closer to it felt pointless. Like supplementary research, or… proper experimental method.
I don’t know why I’m recordin’ this. Better than just sittin’ in silence, I suppose.
The current is pushin’ me closer to shallower water. I think so anyway. Hope so. Should be able to tell better after a couple more days pass. But until then… well, I guess I can keep talkin’ to myself. Maybe do some stargazing.
[A distant shriek]
Try and figure out how long I’ve got until one of whatever’s out here decides to pay me a visit…

Putting all four links in here, seeing as they're all updates for the same story. Patchwork's a bit of a pet project of mine also having to do with Bendy and the Ink Machine, Bendy in Nightmare Run, Boris and the Dark Survival, and Bendy and the Dark Revival. Might also include Bendy: The Cage by proxy, depending on how quickly I make my way to that point.
Basically, Joey had to go through a few phases before he jumped into the idea of making Susie his resident angel, and, well, he had plenty of souls to work with...

Easter Eggs/References from the new M&I Chapter!
Because I’m bored and I was on the road in a bus for around 17 hours or so, so I need to chill
Before opening this post, make sure you’ve read the chapter ;)
https://fishymom-art.tumblr.com/post/702477002226204672/metal-ink-extra-5-part-1
LET’S GOOOO!!!!
Tumblr media
1. Ah yes, the only book that exists in this universe XD Yea, “The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” appears as an easter egg almost every time there is a book X)
Tumblr media
2. Of course I put myself into the chapter :D. I’m sitting at one of the tables during Milla’s show!
Tumblr media
3. In the same panel, there is a picture of Linda!
Tumblr media
4. Joey Drew’s actual quotes! “Quite a gal” will be repeated later in the full version of his quote + Susie’s called “quite a gal/an angel” regularly in this chapter.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
5. This is a throwback to what Susie said in the first extra before leaving Daniel and Sammy alone as a set up X)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
6. This is a slight reference to a quote by Blackbeard from “Our Flag Means Death” - “Skin him first. And use the snail fork.”
Tumblr media
7. Straight up reference to the moment with Hackenbush in the part where he appeared for the first time :)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
8. A clue that Norman’s name in the Golden Reality is Jason Bright. 
Tumblr media
9. Lonely Angel music sheet in Sammy’s hands!
Tumblr media
10. Throwback to Nightmare Joey saying that all the good endings to his stories (aka the extra chapters) aren’t real.
Tumblr media
11. Another throwback to Chapter 6, where Henry tells Joey he’s leaving the studio.
Tumblr media
12. Small Nelly in the background. She is grey, while her Bendy Plush is yellow.
Tumblr media
13. Real quotes by Joey Drew!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(”Quite a gal”!)
Tumblr media
14. Milla touches her left side of the face that was disfigured when she was Susie Angel. She also cries only from the right eye, because in her ink form she didn’t have the left eye. She cries ink. Before that, she also talks in doubled voice (like Alice or Nightmares).
Tumblr media
15. Reference to Audrey asking Allison “What is an Ink Demon?” in BatDR :)))
Tumblr media
16. Joey is no one :(
Tumblr media Tumblr media
17. Also a reference to BatDR and the Cycle Breakers!
Tumblr media
18. A slight reference to Joey’s quote from BatDR “Once upon a time there was a bitter, old man”
Tumblr media
19. I think this is self-explanatory X)
Tumblr media
20. Allison and Susie are wearing outfits directly inspired by 1920′s fashion (raincoats and hats!)
Tumblr media
21. Another quote + yet another outfit directly inspired by 20′s fashion, this time her evening dress (and later gloves).
Tumblr media
22. Susie doing the touching her face thing like Milla (and then talking in doubled voice, like Alice)
Tumblr media
23. More Nelly, this time featuring an older Nelly too :)))
Tumblr media Tumblr media
24. A picture of Norman and Susie!
Tumblr media
25. Susie Angel here is in her outfit when she was cutting her hair in front of the mirror! 
Tumblr media
26. Our girl correcting Angel by saying that she’s Alice Angel and not Susie and breaking the mirror.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
27. Mirror shards in the form of a heart :”(
Tumblr media
28. Nelly’s drawing Dapper Bendy!
Tumblr media
29. And of course, another Nelly and Joey parallel :DD
Tumblr media Tumblr media
30. The soundtrack contains the melody from Lonely Angel, as well as Play Called Life because of the Golden Reality :)))

Whitmore: Just a minute, that looks like a horse pill to me… Dr. Hackenbush: You have nothing to worry about. The last patient I gave one of those to won the Kentucky Derby.

What is everyone's greatest fears and insecurities? (I promise this isn't bully anon and I have no ill intent.)
Going for the big guns uh? Buckle in then, let's see what kind of ammo the Fractos has to work with:
Henry Stein - His anger issues. Henry's childhood and adulthood were fairly turbulent because he's prone to getting fits of rage (an issue that was exacerbated when he was drafted to fight in the second world war). There's never been a moment in his life where he wasn't aware that he can hurt people very easily, and it scares him that this is possibly all he's good at. It's why drawing and gardening meant so much to him... For once he could make something good instead of destroying it...
Sammy Lawrence - That he's a weak-willed follower rather than the master of his own fate, untrustworthy and insignificant. His role as the Prophet disgusts him because it's everything he strived not to be, and the hypocrisy of it all left him questioning his identity and sense of self. What is he if he's not Samuel Lawrence Jr? Can he go back to calling himself that? Or is that just another name he can't ever return to ever again...? Just... Who is he?
Jack Fain - Being unable to protect himself and others, no matter how much he tried to be there for his friends. The sense of insignificance and powerlessness left him fearing that every single one if his efforts is in vain.
Susie Campbell - That she's not good enough. Always second best to someone more talented and beautiful than her. That no matter how hard she tried, she should have just given up and let the world step all over her.
Norman Polk - That he's nothing more than an unwanted and unlovable creepy brute. As a tall bulky man of his age and background, Norman's always had a lot against him. But, even when snapping at people or fighting back just as hard was warranted, he never let himself stoop so low. Becoming the out of control and monstrous Projectionist wounded him deeply...
Allison Pendle - That deep down she's just as selfish and careless as Joey. They got along fine because they had a level of understanding about certain arts they were mutually interested in... Maybe that means she's rotten like him. A danger to others if she ever becomes as jaded as he did...
Thomas Connor - The worst part is the guilt. If he hadn't been complacent to Joey's will to begin with, none of this would have happened. He's stuck in a cycle of grief and what ifs, afraid that he's damned everyone because of his own hubris as a prideful engineer.
Shawn Flynn - His willful ignorance will haunt him forever. He knew something was wrong, but he'd rather ignore it and make a quick buck than actually stop to think. It only struck him that he was in too deep when Grant began to deteriorate, and by then it was too late to stop. If only he hadn't been so selfish and cocky...
Grant Cohen - That he deserves all of this in some twisted terrible way. His life has always been one string of misfortunes after another. Maybe he was a bad person in another life. Maybe he didn't show enough people kindness in this one... Maybe he's just destined to suffer. He's always been and always will be unable to save himself...
Buddy Lewek - That he's too weak and cowardly to be of any help. Everyone has been doing so much to keep him safe, and he doesn't have the strength to do the same for them. He feels guilty about it, but he just... He just can't... He's afraid and he wants to go home. He wants his mom... And he feels bad that he's this pathetic when his friends need him most.
Abby Lambert - Regret, guilt, sorrow... She knows them all to well. Most of all she knows hatred the best... She hates that she was so bad a judge of character that she couldn't see just how bad things got. Just how far Joey would take it... She was blind to it all because she considered him a friend, and she'll never forgive herself or him for it...
Doc Hackenbush - That he didn't leave when he could have. He was aware and against the results of the experiments, but he was also curious. Morbidly so. He could have helped stop all of this before it got to this point... But instead chose to stay quiet. A choice that will haunt him forever.
Bertrum Piedmont - That he'd been too proud to realize he was digging himself and Lacie an early grave. What hurts most now isn't even the state he's in... It's that he damned his closest friend to this terrible fate as well...
Lacie Benton - That she couldn't convince Bertrum to not accept a contract with Joey. She knew something was off with the man... She just couldn't imagine this being how it ended... Feels like she failed her dearest friend.
Emma LaMonte - Her biggest regret is not telling her family how much she appreciated them. She'd been a stuck-up unpleasant and difficult lady all her life and now... She fears she'll never have a chance to make amends.
Detective Sinclair - That he failed Joey in some way, thus made him more prone to becoming less interested in being a law abiding citizen. He knows that something broke when he failed that case... That somehow he taught that young and impressionable puppy-eyed boy that justice only matters as long as you're caught... He's a failure of a detective and all of this is his fault...
The Ink Demon - That his imperfections are the reason everyone is suffering. That he's not good enough to deserve to live. That he's a monster that taints everything he touches... The list goes on...

Happy Anniversary to Abomination
@halfusek
Just a pen and a nightmare 
Just a drawing and a man 
Just a devil and his demons Wandering those lands 
I don’t know what’s more pathetic 
Me or you, or every inch of my existence 
 I didn’t notice when it got different 
From a pencil and a dream

How many major boss fights does your au have? You don't have to say who..maybe an amount?
Also I love your Shawn desgin! It's such a cool idea! Love it
Can't wait to see what comes up in this au!
I’ll tell you the first few:
Wally-Bot, The Projectionist, Hackenbush, Joey, and The Creator (all meant to be like the boss fights in game, save for Joey’s inclusion as a “boss”)
After that there are at least three more bosses that crop up due to some loop interference on Sammy and Shawn’s part :)
Akjbkjb thank you! I,,, just took Terrible Sin Shawn Angel and tweaked him a bit ^^;, but I always have the funny image of him say “Ah great now I’m the Angel-whatchamacallit” when I think about him.
And oh boy be careful what you wish for :))/lh

Hackenbush’s Log #1: Adrift
The water through the hatch is dark.
The Dreamer crashed at night. 7 hours have passed, and the sun has risen, but still the water’s dark.
It isn’t just the shadow of the lifepod, either. Looking out from the top hatch, I’m surrounded on all sides by dark water. I can see the wreck of the Dreamer and what looks like land in the distance, but without knowin’ how far away they really are, I ain’t fixin' to try to swim. Even with the emergency seaglide, that would be a stupid decision.
I’ve got a few nutrient blocks, and a few bottles of water. If I’m smart, that could last me a few weeks. Hopefully rescue comes by then. From other people, or the current pushin’ me closer to shallower water.
Hope it comes sooner rather than later. I don’t feel right. I’ve never been claustrophobic, but I feel… off. Trapped. Maybe the isolation’s already gettin’ to me. Maybe it’s my situation finally sinkin’ in. But if something more is really wrong? Well… I don’t know.
[A moment of utterly dead air]
It’s times like this I wish I could bring myself to believe in a god. Maybe if I did, I’d have something to bring me just a little bit of comfort. But I’ve got nothin’ to pray to. Nothin’ to save me but the whims of a world that doesn’t know I exist, or the mercy of other people that may not even be out there.
[Dead air again]
I haven’t seen any fish. Big or small. Nothing. Not a single sign of life.
But I hear ‘em.
Oh believe me, I hear ‘em.
[Something shrieks distantly]
[A dry, strained chuckle]
Right on cue.
Somethin’s out there.
I’ve always loved studying alien life. But just this once?
I think I’d rather not know.

The Inkdemonth day 17: Underappreciated
Tumblr media
Another title: Dr. Hackenbush inside the Infirmary
I know! He is literally just a name on a schedule in chapter 5 at the moment, but I still like to think of him as a legit character who existed inside the studio (and who needs some more love as well). Hope he does turn out to be a legit and perhaps even an important character later on in Batdr or in the upcoming books!
@halfusek what do you think? Should a Doctor Hackenbush appear inside Batdr or inside dreams come to life and the employee handbook? I would personally be excited about it!
