in conclusion the most poignant thing about ruina is its running theme of Imperfection. imperfection, focused not on its flaws, but on the miracle of it existing to begin with. imperfection not as a failing, but as a triumph. its cracked, broken, deeply in need of repair-- but it's real and its ours and it exists. despite everything it exists and that enough is a relief beyond words, beyond expression. to present a toppled structure not as a conclusion, but an opportunity.
its the choice-- and the joy-- of looking forward, unflinchingly, and facing it. one step at a time.

we need more ford haters in this fandom. this dude is a fucking loser. it has nothing to do with him being a nerd, and everything to do with him being a borderline narcissist who has ruined the lives of every single person he's come in contact with

„Let's build our second future here”
- - -
I thought I could make a sequel to my previous art (link)
The third photo is the place of their engagement which I created for them.
I could have do it better, but who said the ink world is so beautiful and perfect?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I believe Audrey changed this world for better.
Let's skip the fact that on the game wiki says that memory of Joey died. But not saying that is before cycle? Or I just miss something?
Wilson practically died with Betty and the keepers forever, but I also want to believe that Betty can still exist in this world, like before.
Story:
How much time has passed? He could have said several years, but it wasn't.
He accepted himself as he was from the beginning, even though this truth was painful and shocking, it was Allison who changed his attitude.
Thanks to her, he accepted himself.
He couldn't forgive the real Joey and his copy before for what they had done and what they had kept from him. The truth about him.
The hatred towards his former (real) friend increased every time he mentioned him, his past and the real Linda, who he didn't really have anymore. She had no idea that he existed.
Every day, the hatred inside him grew more and more. But thanks to a known angel, that terrible feeling disappeared. It was this angel that allowed him to forget about his desire for revenge, which he would never dare to do someone he valued very much in his life.
Even if he wasn't this real Henry, and this man who was important to him had hurt him, he still remembered all these wonderful memories with him. He missed Joey, he missed the feeling of being next to him.
He fought against the darkness from which he was born, he remained in the world in which he was born.
It hurt that memory of Joey's had lied to him. He wasn't the real Joey, but he was fine with it after certain time, even if it was hard for him.
Memory of Joey always apologized him for that. He tried to talk about it, wanting to turn back time somehow, even if he couldn't.
They rebuilt their friendship. A friendship that led them both to infatuation, fall in love, deep and long love.
They lived in a world that had been rescued from the darkness. This was their place. A place Audrey cared about. With all of her heart.
He would never have expected this important moment in his life. Important like... wedding.
It wasn't a beautiful dream. It was real.
Joey really loved Henry. And Henry really loved Joey.
He couldn't fight with this feeling any longer.
This moment could have lasted forever. He will never forget that place, that moment of surprise where Joey was nervous about this one thing - the engagement.
He gained life, friends, support, memories, and most importantly - love and family.
He didn't suffer as much as he did in the beginning. The suffering was gone forever.
Joey. Audrey. And Bendy. They were always with him.
He gained a second life and a loving family.
Joey became more than just a friend to him.
Beloved for whole life.

I hope the people I already sent this to don’t mind if I talk about it here, but I’ve been thinking about it the past couple days and it’s been bringing me joy 🖤
so the other day I was scrolling through pinterest (man there’s like. a couple people I haven’t introduced on this blog who just exist as pinterest boards rn. need to get on that) and I found this screengrab:
Tumblr media
and I mentioned to some friends that like, Maxi would consider this in red or black first and foremost, but he would definitely be absolutely enchanted with the idea of wearing this silhouette to y’all’s wedding (non-church affiliated TM).
like I imagined you’d be scrolling through your own wedding ideas on insta or pinterest or, god, even here, and though initially you were just idly scrolling by, his pupils would expand like a cat’s and his breath would audibly catch as soon as he saw this image:
Final Them: “Do you… like it, babe?”
Maxi: “…Swishy. @A@“
which, of course, would mean that either a. a similar suit was ordered immediately to his usual tailor, or, b. being the best seams-person of the family, Rora found one of his old masquerade suits and decided to add a train like so.
at the fitting he looks so giddy on the pedestal in front of the mirror that Rora and Hex are just sitting off to the side observing like:
Hex: “I can’t even tease him, look at that face.”
Rora: “You think if we told him he could wear it every day, he’d get the stick out of his ass?”
[Maxi, oblivious, is just swishing the tails back and forth in the mirror with the biggest grin]
like. Maxi is already someone who wants to be more visibly queer/gnc but, due to growing up in small-town Louisiana in the ‘80s-‘90s and living with his specific brand of insane parents (with Vincent himself being deeeeep in the closet), never got to explore it as much as he wanted. (save for that one glorious evening he got to be Frank as a last minute understudy in a Rocky Horror Picture Show shadowcast, but that’s a post for another time)
so even though he’s elated, there’s definitely a moment before the wedding where he turns to you in a fit of nerves:
Maxi: “I don’t know, is it too gay? Are you gonna feel weird, standin’ up there next to me, in that?”
FT: “Maxi, we… we are gay, babe. Like. We are gay. It’s perfectly okay if you look gay at our wedding. We’re getting married, to each other, and we’re gay. You wear whatever you want, as long as you’re up there with me, okay?”
Maxi: “Oh. …Well, yeah, when you put it that way I guess. :’D”
and for the record, on the big day:
he looks amazing, you look amazing in something Rora tailored for you with just as much love though she’ll never admit that to your face, Hex is trying to be the best man and the wedding photographer and not cry all over you/Maxi/his lens, and all the little old ladies of the Greymoon Historical Society agree they’ve never been to a wedding so modern and obviously queer “avant-garde” before.
so anyway. just something small and fluffy for a saturday evening. 🖤

side note. im just upset now about how it feels like my work is no longer belonging to me. I dont get to choose what it is put into. it is now a comodity for whoever believes that they have a right to my work.
When I work in an art-based industry, what I produce will not be my own. It will be owned by another company who hired me. I could spend hours on it and pour my life force into what I create, but it could be held by the company and not released or released and removed from my ownership.
Now tumblr is the same. now every website is the same. You never have control of what you post forever. You never get to choose what happens to your online work. But now I know that what I post will go directly into the content meatgrinder that is AI technology. I will not get to choose this. I will not get to own my work any more. Even if I opt out, even if thousands of users opt out, not everybody will. Not everybody will know. Not everybody will want to. Not everybody will be bothered.
Theres a difference between individuals reposting my work onto pinterest and an entire blog being fed into AI. Theres a difference between a single human feeding artwork that isnt theirs into AI and an automatic process in which my data, my artwork, my life is being fed into AI. I will never own my own work again unless I keep it directly next to me and never share it.
Im debating pulling all of my work from this website.

people here love to bitch about russian and ukrainian immigrants but the thing is it’s not one of those ‘they’re stealing our jobs’ rhetorics it’s more that the rent skyrocketed and moving into a decent apartment is laughably expensive because it’s all marketed towards them because they’re the ones with money and more than that i live in a city where if i’m at work outside on a smoke break our people will insist that i finish the cig and they’ll wait and chat with me while the immigrants have that late stage capitalism customer is always right kind of mindset like to them i’m an employee first and a person second and none of us are used to it and it feels like and often is just a bunch of people flaunting their money to us poor poor people and acting like cunts

On the Bendy books not being canon: this might be a good thing??? Because at least Adrienne Kress can keep doing what she’s doing without having to work around BATDR. With the ink clone concept (is everybody an ink clone? What actually did happen?) and Joey’s intentions for the cycle (from making living cartoons to torturing ink Henry?), it feels…unclear what is canon anymore. I mean BATIM is stated to be cannon but in what regards? The cycle happens but what about the audio logs? Are we even sure of who died and how anymore? There’s just a lot of things left open enough for the meatley to softly retcon things while not technically contradicting BATIM. And while BATIM is vague enough to fit BATDR’s changes…what about the books? What are we supposed to make of Joey “murders teens” Drew from the books being the same Joey in BATDR who’s being painted in a goodish light at the end of BATDR and in the archives? Hell, Tom’s characterization in BATIM has already been pointed out as inconsistent with the books.
It just strikes me that the meatley always told stories installment to installment, throwing out a flashy twist and vague storytelling. And this is coming from someone who likes BATDR. While Adrienne Kress, as a novelist, has to tell a complete and satisfying story within each book. And like you mentioned, a lot of what she gave us in those books were what people loved about the characters. At least those versions of those characters get to be preserved in someway?
I'll try to address as much of this as possible lol!
I have a lot of thoughts about this ask, and there are some points where I flat out disagree, but I do see where you're coming from! I do agree that the books not being canon leaves things more open-ended, which is a strength in some aspects and a weakness in others.
"...at least Adrienne Kress can keep doing what she’s doing without having to work around BATDR."
I agree in the sense that BATDR is messy. I don't think she had much trouble working around it, though? I mean, we see Wilson in Fade to Black, so I don't think she's afraid of bringing up BATDR.
"(is everybody an ink clone? What actually did happen?)"
Henry at the very least is an ink clone, expressly made for the purpose of Joey having a Henry-shaped stress ball to kill at his convenience (as stated in BATDR.)
If we look at the novels and games, there are three main ways to end up in Cartoon Hell: First, just be created there, like Ink Henry. Second, you can basically be teleported in via the Gent glasses, as shown in Fade to Black. Thirdly, you can just Die In Ink, like Audrey in BATDR. These technically don't contradict each other, but holy hell that's a lot of ways to end up on the wrong side of a Gent Pipe.
"Are we even sure of who died and how anymore?"
Yes, for the most part. We have letters from Allison (who also mentions Thomas), and Wally Franks. We also have confirmation that Henry left to go live with his wife. And we see Joey himself at the end of BATIM.
As for the rest of the cast, we have to think of Henry's Cycle as an imperfect reflection of real events.
The audio logs in particular do line up with things that really happened, and usually we can rely on them. Take Shawn, for example. In BATDR he mentions that he's leaving the studio. Notice that there's no coffin in BATIM with his name on it. In BATIM, Susie mentions that Joey has a proposition for her. Notice that she does have a coffin, and the outcome of her inferred death is...well, Alice Angel. (The details of how she and Sammy ended up in Cartoon Hell are a little fuzzy, but that's a whole other discussion entirely.)
"What are we supposed to make of Joey “murders teens” Drew from the books being the same Joey in BATDR who’s being painted in a goodish light at the end of BATDR and in the archives?"
Oh boy. If you want my opinion, BATDR really shits all over Joey Drew's victims, regardless of his kill count in the books.
Let's pretend the books don't exist for a minute. Joey still manipulated a woman with the end goal of getting her killed for his own selfish gain. He almost worked his best friend and business partner to death and kept him from seeing his wife for days on end. His accountant died in a horrible and unspecified manner on studio premises. Norman, Bertrum, and Lacie all died as a result of working at JDS as well. Not only did Joey kill real people, but he made an artificial world in which basically all creatures suffer. Don't even get me started on the Lost Ones in Chapter 4 (which include children, by the way.)
It's also confirmed by Grant in BATDR that Gent was "pouring in some funds", and while you could argue it's just for research without killing anyone...they still made the Ink Demon. Nobody's gonna sit here and tell me that A. the Ink Demon never escaped, and B. His kill count was 0. No way.
I get really sussed out at BATDR saying "Well, Joey kind of raised a kid so he's paid his just desserts!" In short, that's not a Bendy book issue, it's a BATDR issue.
"...a lot of what she (Adrienne) gave us in those books were what people loved about the characters."
I'm not gonna lie...I really wish she was a writer for the actual games. Lol.

dream girl evil (lily's version)
a lily evans microfic set after the snape incident // inspired by the song dream girl evil (florence + the machine) // word count: 745
Lily Evans, perfect prefect. 
Lily Evans, Head Girl. 
Lily Evans, top of her class. 
She’s heard all these things said in various tones and with various intentions. Whispered in awe by some first years she passes in the hall. Muttered with distaste and thinly failed jealousy by her peers. She can’t help that she draws people’s attention, for better or for worse. Maybe it’s the flaming hair, maybe it’s the fiery tongue, maybe it's the fact that she’s the brightest witch of her age. 
She feels the eyes wherever she goes. She hears their whispers. Most days she can ignore them.
Some days she can’t. 
Did you hear what Snape called her yesterday? 
Snape and his cronies totally tore into that Evans girl. 
I thought they were supposed to be friends. 
That’s what she gets for hanging out with such a fucking prick. 
She walks down the hall with a blank face. No expression. Chin up. She won’t cower today, there was far too much of that yesterday. It’s not often your so-called best friend humiliates you in front of the entire school. And she thought James Potter would always take the cake on that front. No, turns out Severus has done a thorough job of it all by himself. 
Mudblood. 
A filthy fucking word. She’s heard it countless times, been called it countless times, but never by him. Her friend. Her Sev. 
“Lily!” she hears and almost trips over smooth ground. 
No. Absolutely fucking not. She does not turn, does not pause.
“Lily, fucking wait!” 
Her mind is a ticking bomb, her body is a bundle of dynamite. Severus is an open flame and the closer he comes, the closer she get to combustion. 
“Don’t,” she murmurs, almost to herself. Teeth gritted, shoulders rigid. 
“Lily, please—” 
He’s too close. The fuse is lit. She whirls, waiting to ignite. 
“What,” she spits. 
Severus shrinks back at her tone and something in her smiles with sharp teeth. 
Good, she thinks, it’s my turn to make you bleed. 
He licks his lips. “I want to talk.” 
“No.” 
“Please, Lily, I—” 
“Oh, it’s Lily now, is it? Sorry, I can’t seem to keep up with all the names you have for me lately, Sev.” 
He winces, reaching out. “I want to apologize. I didn’t mean—” 
“I think I know exactly what you meant. There aren’t many other ways to interpret it.”
Her friend stares at her with sorry eyes, but for once she feels nothing. There is no urge to smooth things over, to let old wrongs die. She is not willing to let this go. There is no forgiveness in her for this. 
“I’m done,” she says, and hears her voice crack, not from weakness, but from anger. “This is over. We are not friends. You've lost that priviledge. You threw it away."
Severus looks broken. The worst parts of her rejoice.
"But," she adds, "there is something I want to know. Something I want you to tell me,” she admits, and watches Severus perk up, eager. 
“Anything” 
“Why were you ever my friend, if I was only ever some dirty nothing unfit to be near you? Why did you always seek me out for comfort, why did you always come running back to me, if I was so unworthy? What the fuck was I to you?” 
Snape pales. “You're not unworthy. You are my friend. My best friend. You— you are all the best parts of me, Lily. You always were. You push me to be better. I can always count on you to see the light in the world, the beautiful things. I always— I could always count on you to remind me of… goodness. Always.” 
At that she goes still. So that’s the truth, then. That’s the whole of it. She can see it all so clearly now. She was never a person to him. Just a something to prescribe traits to whenever he found it convenient, to make him feel good when he needed it.
His perfect girl some days. His punching bag other days.
She was never a person to Severus Snape. 
And that makes her want to burn down the whole fucking world. 
“Severus,” she says, low. Threatening. “I am nobody’s moral center.” 
His eyes widen and she pushes the knife in further, deeper, twisting. 
“I can promise you, whatever version of me you’ve created in your head, you love her much more than you ever loved me.”
Lily turns to go, but pauses, looking back one last time.
“I hope she’ll keep you company, Sev. Whatever dream girl you thought I was. She’s all you’ll have left of me, after this.”

my new thing is obsessing over a funny little guy for a few months before moving onto another funny little guy
#random thoughts#first it was sans undertale then it was robert dream daddy#and now it's fnaf sunandmoon#my ideal fnaf sunandmoon fic which i will never write because that's where i draw the line#is one in which yn doesn't think sun and moon are. sentient. at first.#and by at first i mean for a large chunk of the story#like yeah he's a robot! he's a very sophisticated piece of ai of course he's gonna be lifelike#sun and moon are designed to learn and adapt and they can SEEM very human but it's important to remember they are not alive#but they still treat sun and moon decently because? why wouldn't they?#like sun and moon are constantly learning ai. it's important to model proper behavior so they know how they and others should act#specifically among freddy's staff! if sunandmoon don't know how staff SHOULD behave then they have no frame of reference#for what behavior should be reported or how sunandmoon are SUPPOSED to act around staff for maximum efficiency#if you get mad at the robot for being damaged and they're designed to entertain#they're not gonna want to tell you next time they get damaged and you can't just rely on scans and weekly examinations#because scans miss things and some damage is too severe to wait for their next examination#in an ideal setting you WANT the animatronics to be able to communicate openly with you because THEY are a tool for their OWN repair#THEY can recognize what is damaged VERY WELL#and if it's a software issue then you need to be able to read their BEHAVIOR. body language and shit#and if sunandmoon are CONSTANTLY ON EDGE AROUND STAFF you're not gonna be able to see a base body language to go off of#also constant stress is bad for machines. like running the same commands over and over again until overheating. bad for babey#and of COURSE they're gonna help around the daycare!!! THE DAYCARE ATTENDANT IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE A REPLACEMENT FOR HUMAN WORKERS#the daycare attendant is a GIMMICK. a NOVELTY. a TOOL meant for the use of the human daycare attendants#a forever playmate who remembers every detail about every child under their care? who never tires and isn't affected by cleaning chemicals?#they're so USEFUL! a supplement to the human daycare attendant!#like a swiss army knife of rainy day games and orange slices#it's a horrible shame the owners of the pizzaplex got cheap and stopped hiring human daycare attendants to save on labor#because the daycare attendant works best when they have someone else's behavior to model. otherwise it gets caught in a loop#which constantly degrades and simplifies. like recording a recording over and over again until all you can hear is white noise#of COURSE something bad was gonna happen!#and sunandmoon don't really have any opinion on this besides agreeing because they ARE an animatronic.

I saw the Barbie movie and never longed for the instructions on how to make something more. Not that color, not that lining, but that mood.
And someone saw the same movie and just went "Yeah, I can make that happen".
They don't know I exist, they just knew people like me exist. And then put my dreams on sale for £7.20 while offer lasts, plus the willingness to transcribe YT instructions.
