(VERY LONG POST!!!)

Hello everyone!

I'm sorry for the people that follow me for other things than BATIM because this is my new hyperfixation at the moment, please bear with me xD

I suddenly decided to share my ideas about some BATIM AU I had for... a while since BATDR just came out and the fandom is back from the dead x)

So basically this is a Power AU. With everyone of the main cast having particular abilities. (I actually had the idea from the fanfiction "Magic cleaner is more than just an advertisment" by @hello-im-not-a-possum on Ao3, go check it out it's awsome!) I just thought it would be funny because why not xD

Those with powers are: Henry, Joey, Wally, Jack, Sammy, Susie, Norman, Thomas and Allisson. Let's go in that order!

Henry Stein: Do I really have to say? Bringing drawings to life of course!

Pre-Ink: At the beginnig it wasn't much; just a little drawing moving on the page here and there. That's actually what gave Joey the inspiration to start cartoons, seeing his old friend's drawings moving on their own on the pages. But when begining animating Bendy, and by his love for the characters he created, it started to become stronger. Strong enough that the Little Devil Darling would sometimes pop up to reality with his friends for several hours in a row. That is until he got drafted for the war and left the studio. As the years passed by after the war, he discovered that he could even manipulate at the manner of an elemental bender the ink. But it wasn't really strong; just enough to make some shapes and forms when he had trouble visualizing an idea. His powers continu to grow after he returned home, but he became a master at hiding them.

In the Cycle: Joey sealed away (I'll get to it on his part) almost all of his powers before throwing him in the Cycle. He knows that Henry have the strongest magic out of everyone in the Studio, so he went through several sealing and bending rituals before sending him in it. But even that wasn't enough, because Henry can still do a few things; the Golden Ink is one of them. He can create it, manipulate it, make it last for as long as he want, and hide them from Joey's view. He's also capable of using the globs of ink to shape them in the form he need them to -there's no handy machines like in the game in this AU, Henry do that all by himself-. And despite Joey's attempts, he's little by little breaking free from the script's influence...

Joey Drew: Devil's deals and rituals. He can make rituals -often satanics but can be both... well could be at the beginning- contracts and deals with people and they CAN'T go against it after "signing" them. He can also easily persuade them if he feel a weakness in their heart.

Pre-ink: Nothing too bad -compared to what he did next- using his deals and contracts to make sure the Studio and Bendy were growing and becoming more popular and loved. Henry was often his impulse control and moral compass. At that time he would never had the idea of using his powers against Henry.

After Henry left: Oh boy. He took it BADLY. He made a deal with GENT Corporation to create the Ink Machine as a way to "replace" Henry's talent, and to prove to him that the Studio didn't need his "temporary bringing the characters to life"; after all the Ink Machine would bring them to life FOR GOOD.

We all know how that sorted out though. -he had to make a deal to every employees to forbiding them to quit-. However, seeing his former -magical- employees having a (very understandable) grudge against him, he made another deal this time with the Machine itself to trap its ink-corrupted inhabitants locked up: by reducing and warping their powers into something else entierly, something twisted. Exploiting a weakness in their minds to bend them and theirs powers. However, a time loop isn't a type of magic that he could hide from magic users, even as weaken as can be. So after throwing Henry in the Cycle to torture him, he made sure that they would forget the loops. But against Henry's magic it's starting to wear off...

Wally Franks: -I took the idea from hello-Im-not-a-possom fic here ^^'- Telekinesis Fantasia style. Only on cleaning supplies and light objects in general; he's still young, it needs time to develop and he's happy for now with the janitor job.

Pre-Ink: Was absolutely oblivious about why every magical people he could feel and see in the studio were trying their damnest to hide theirs powers from the CEO of the place (to each other's too, but not as much as Joey). Wally personally didn't have a problem to admit that he had magic on his own when Drew caught him in the act -it was the equivalent in real life of the Fantasia scene really; brooms, buckets, rags and feather duster flying around in an organized chaos- because he figured that ("Well he got magic on his own! Can't be all that bad right?") He's the one that accidentally revealed the existence of magic to Joey. (well the existence of his employees' magic) He's also one of the very firsts that Drew made the deal to be unable to leave with. So despite what he loved to say, he couldn't even with his magic "get outta here!"

In the Cycle: He's the one that Joey reduced the most. In a Boris body (this is my AU again) he was unable to cast any spell; he's one of the most vulnerable and sensitive to magic now. But it doesn't stop him from being able to change some of his cards to another color or shape in his games with Henry (to this day he had never been caught.) As time pass by though, he have a nagging feeling that he should... Get away from this place... And it's only getting stronger.

Jack Fain: This one doesn't really have a precise name for it. Jack is a litteral muse; mostly to Sammy but he can inspire others musicians and artists if he write lyrics -or poems-. He brings inspiration and motivation wherever he goes, and as such everyone in the Studio appreciate him.

Pre-Ink: He was just the geniune positive energy of all the studio. No matters the crazy deadlines, the inhumane amount of work, or later on the pipes bursting everywhere, Jack Fain always had a smile and tried to give everyone the strenght and will to continu creating. His lyrics never failed to move the audience, and together with Sammy they gained several awards. (all under Joey Drew's name however...) His powers weren't visibles; he was the one that gave everyone creativity behind the scene, the strenght to move forwards and continu despite it all. He wasn't the animator that could bring the drawings into the real world, nor was he the janitor who make brooms and buckets fly to clean after hours. He was the quiet voice in the back of your mind that whisper to you a new idea or a new song. As such, Joey didn't think it was necessary to twist his powers more than the ink did.

In the Cycle: It's more or less the same but without a lot of his memories from his life before the Studio. Asides the moments with Sammy it's pretty blurry. But since there's not really a lot of people to inspire these days (oustide of Sammy when he was lucid enough to remember how to compose) he's quite powerless. But even in his form of a Searcher, he can still bring a bit of joy and strenght to the others Searchers and the Lost Ones that are under Sammy's wing back at the village.

Sammy Lawrence: Can be seen as telekinesis as well, but stronger than Wally's; if he's angry enough (which already happened) he can throw a person across the room with a wave of his conductor stick (it was Joey.) Technically it's more wind control. It's a tangible force that you can feel contrary to Wally's telekinesis.

Pre-Ink: Prodigy. In music and magic both, the guy was already capable of playing an entiere orchestra with his magic at the age of seventeen. He is seen as one of the strongest air-bender (not the last one thankfully) of the century in the element-bending community. As such he didn't had friends in said-community. He left them to meet his best friend, and musical partner Jack. He used his powers several times when Joey's deadlines weren't humanly possible (he prefer to have the band rehearsal his songs before recording them though; he already wrote songs that were impossible to play without magic before. Only realizing when the band looked at him with bewildered eyes when seeing the sheets he had written.) While he very much did not tell outright that he was an air-bender, he didn't tried to hide him from the band members, Jack, Susie or Norman -well Norman was more him discovering Sammy's abilities because he's just spying on everyone than Sammy telling Norman-.

After Susie was fired and Jack went "missing", he went to confront Joey about it. Only to get drugged without his knowledge by an ink coffee served by his boss (I don't believe you can get dependent by only having an ink pipe burst above your head and some drips of ink getting in your mouth sorry ^^') and got bend by a deal at the end of it. Joey wasn't stupid; he knew that Sammy's magic wasn't going to be weaken and twisted as easily as the others; so he went to poison him slowly but surely to erode them.

In the Cycle: His air-bending abilities were completely burried under the corruption of the ink. Now, his connection with the Ink Demon and the Searchers is taking all of his capacity. He can feel when the Ink Demon is coming and hear him talk; call upon the Searchers and communicate with them, ordering them to attack or not, as well as the Lost Ones. All of this as in the game. The only trace of his wind abilities is his capacity to walk through walls. And the feeling that his mind is trying to fly away from the ink trapping it. And what's with the deja vue feeling?

Susie Campbell: There isn't a real name for her powers either; it's more or less emotion-based. If she's happy, her voice -especially when she's singing- will send you a feeling of happiness as well; when she is sad, you will feel upset upon hearing her. And when she's angry... well if she was angry enough at someone, the nearest people around her would have taken a swing at that person's face. She brings emotions to people by mere hearing.

Pre-Ink: Nothing really out of the ordinary at first; the voice actress was appreciated and loved by everyone. She was with Jack, the sweetest person there is in the Studio, as well as the one that bring the most emotions in her acting. Nobody realized exactly that she had power, until she was -for an episode- rehearsing a song where Alice was angry about the latest prank Bendy had pulled on her. The acting was perfect! So much so that the other voice actor voicing Bendy started to get angry at the toon demon, under everyone's confusion. Upon seeing that, Susie immediatly apologized ans shyly explained that it was probably because of her.

However... The day she was fired, everyone remembered it. She was so upset, angry and betrayed that the music department didn't got out unscathed.

In the Cycle: Joey took the opportunity to use Susie's despair as a way to persuade her to make a deal with him; to become Alice. She accepted, and we all know how that played out. With the ink corruption, her voice cannot make people feel emotional anymore. But she gained something in exchange; the ability to lure people with it, like a true siren, and to put them in a transe... However an Angel is patient. And Susie shall wait for her time to take control back of her twisted body, which she was forced to share with a corrupted version of the character she loved.

Norman Polk: Darkness/Shadow manipulation, and noctural vision.

Pre-Ink: Norman definitely didn't tell his coworkers his abilities. Firstly because he didn't want to be called out for his sneaking habit, and secondly because his element doesn't really have the best reputation. The only things you hear about shadow-benders are how cruel they are of stealing light away, how creepy it is for them to roam around in the darkness and how they are all secretly serial killers. Not the best resume to work at an animation studio, you'll admit. However, he used his abilities a lot; he fused with the shadows when he heard something that he wanted to investigate, turn off the lights in the Studio with a mere snap of his fingers -nobody understood what the heck was going on until Joey investigate throughly every employees' abilities before using the Ink Machine- and of course, played a lot of pranks by suddenly making a projector that he had previously covered the lense with his powers, go off. So for an outsider's point of view the projector suddenly turned on without anyone near it. (he scared a lot of animators that day).

In the Cycle: After he eavesdropped a particularly worrying conversation between Thomas Connor and Joey Drew about the Ink Machine, he got caught, without him noticing himself. Before he could warn others however, Joey called him in his office and used a binding circle to keep him in place before decapitating him. As with Henry, Drew used a lot of seals, and others rituals to reduced and corrupt Norman's abilities; but since dark-benders are not bend by the usual spells as others elementals, Joey had the idea of using its own opposite: light. He switched Norman's head with a projector, and activated the Machine. Then the Projectionnist was born; forced to see only in the limited range of its own light. A perfect way to make his former employee unable to use his magic.

But since he refused to lose his mind that easily despite the ink's influence, Joey directly throw his soul in the -ironically- darkest depths of the puddles, leaving his body a roaming dangerous husk. But a shadow-bender soul's isn't going to be imprisonned in the darkness eternally. Especially with a new golden light in the Studio...

Thomas Connor: Metal manipulation. More particulary morphing it into a different form.

Pre-Ink: As part of the GENT Corporation, he used his powers on a regular basis. Touching some pole of metal to change it for a wrench, use it for a few screw loose, then change it back to a pole... Oh he need a screwdriver? Another touch ans here you go! His colleagues liked to call him "portable toolkit" but that was it. But he didn't used them nearly as much as when GENT had this new client: Joey Drew. The man clearly had powers of his own, and not pretty ones from what he saw. But that's the thing: while he made that Machine, when that... thing came from it, and what Joey decided to do afterwards... Well Thomas was here. Saw everything. And metal morphing capacities or not, against pentagrams, rituals and bending spells he didn't stand a chance.

In the Cycle: As a Boris clone like Wally, he really don't have a lot to work with either; however, even if the ink had weakened his powers greatly, it didn't changed them... Too much. He can't change metal that he's touching anymore, but he have a mechanical arm. And THIS he can act upon. He can morph it however he please, however he can't solidify it more (which led to many broken arm but he never complained). But that's enough to protect his dear Allisson. Poor Allisson that don't remember anything... He will protect her. Through all those blasted loops. Mark his words Mister Joey Drew.

Allisson Pendle: Waves control. It's a seperate branch of magic users who decend from the air-benders, specified in airwaves. In Allisson's case, it's mostly about soundwaves.

Pre-Ink: Allisson didn't used her magic much, asides from messing with Tom when they were working away from each other. She used airwaves to carry sweet loving messages, whispered teases, or reminders that he forgot something. She was honestly a bit surprised that the Music Director was an air-bender (quite powerful too, or so she heard. Then again rumors have a tendency to being exagerated -she quickly changed her mind seeing him sending Joey flying with a movement however-) but she didn't try to pry. Air-benders and the decendants of mutations in their magic weren't exactly friends after all. So they kept their distances -after Susie's replacement it was for the best- until Joey came to her. Asking her a little favor some years after the Studio closed for good, and that the majority of the employees had either quit or dissapeared.

In the Cycle: As she doesn't remember anything, her magic isn't something she reclaimed back from the ink. As such, Joey didn't even take the hassle of twisting it to a weaker version of it. But as the loops are passing and Henry's influence more and more the script, Drew might realize he made a mistake...

And it's all detailled! It took me ages to finish this xD

If you have questions about it, my ask is opened! I'm in the middle of my BATIM hyperfixation, I'd love to talk about it xD (Also no, I didn't really took the books in consideration sorry)

Hello! Just wanted to pop in and ask what your au is about? I really love your style but the masterpost doesn't seem to link to anything? (I'm on mobile)

Hallo! Oh yeah, that's a problem that happens when on mobile, tumblr hasn't fixed that issue yet I'll try to make a copy of the masterpost especially for mobile users so that they can access it! (if you want, I could ping you there when I finish it) :D

As to what it's about, I've taken many aspects of BATIM and given changes to the lore and characters to tell my own story with them. And now that BATDR came out, I incorporated some of that into the AU too!

Most of it is centered around the times before the ink machine was made and when everything was sorta fine, but I did make lore for when everything goes to chaos. Sooo I've been thinking of answering asks with Henry and/or Audrey in the ink world using sepia colors to differentiate it from the pre-studio era (I haven't decided on it yet, so it'd be cool if I could get everybody's feedback in the replies to this post!).

da da daa it’s finally here 10 months later my mostly fleshed out batim/batdr AU

Introducing: Crimson Rites

what if i told you most of this came to me in a dream i had this morning as i was going in and out of consciousness.

after this is posted i will slowly start posting the character references for everyone in my AU and i can start answering asks with art of characters then, but regardless please feel free to send asks anyways, just keep it PG 16

depending on the ask i might respond in character, but i won’t be role playing

pspspspspsps hello other batim/batdr fans wanna be mutuals pspspspsppssp i’ll post regularly now i swear PSPSPSPSPSSPS

details are under the cut, they were just kinda long lol. they establish a lot of important things so i do recommend you read them if you’re interested

Synopsis

It’s the year 1920, and Western society has peaked in fashion, music, wealth, technological advancement and, oddly enough, the paranormal.

Since their early college years, Joey Drew and Henry Stein have harboured an insatiable curiosity for all that is supernatural amongst the ordinary world. Due to The Collision, the world has been anything BUT ordinary, yet many layers of it still remain undiscovered, unscathed.

Together, Joey, Henry and their own band of bizarre paranormal ‘experts’ (use that term sparingly) will unearth the many wonders and secrets of all that is eerie.

After biting off a bit more than they can chew, the group drags themselves into the middle of an active murder investigation. In order to get out of it, the team needs to find answers; only problem is that those answers lay waiting in the afterlife. This admittedly amateur team is gonna need all the help they can get in order to make their way out of this mess, and luckily, their boss knows just the guy.

Important Details

Setting

So first off, this AU takes place in Queens, New York on what I can only describe as a whole other planet earth, not really multiverse style, but I’ll explain. This earth is basically the result of several different dimensions merging into one. As a result, many mythical beings live among humanity (ex; angels, ghouls, demons, sirens, werewolves, fauns). The area this AU takes place in is populated mostly by demons, humans, angels and ghouls. The event that caused this is widely regarded as “The Collision.” The main focus isn’t this event itself, but it’s why this world is what it is. These beings have come into contact with humanity on several occasions throughout history through little blips in the lines between dimensions, this just gave them more permanence on earth. Throughout the world, different landscapes/environments from these overlapping dimensions can be found. The Collision also left three moons in its wake.

Characters

Joey and Henry were high school friends and basically made the “let’s be roomies and start a business together” pact. This friendship was maintained throughout their college years, and with Joey’s already intense interest in the paranormal and a degree in parapsychology, the dream of forming a paranormal business was born. With that, they founded Quantam Paradox Inc. (Joey’s name is 1.5x bigger on the front sign).

The team itself consists of Thomas “Tom” Connor, Allison Pendle, Ruth Felten, Wally Franks, Anya Morozov and Shawn Flynn.

Allison Pendle is a well-practiced psychic

Tom specializes in sound engineering and develops a lot of the team’s recording equipment

Ruth mainly works to analyze all of the evidence that makes its way back to base using forensics

Anya’s main responsibility is to perform research on haunting sites pre-investigation and interview eye witnesses/ individuals involved with said investigation

Both Shawn and Wally work to develop experimental technology for the team to use during investigations

On an actual investigation, Allison, Tom, Ruth and Anya are typically the ones who are on site the others got told to wait in the car ☹️

The phrase “make a deal with the devil” takes on a whole new and more absolute meaning here. Many humans and members of other species make contracts and pacts with members of the demon species. It is possible to form these agreements with angels as well, they’re just much more picky in regards to stipulations; contracts with demons are more popular for this reason. Demons still make rules surrounding their contracts, they just tend to be a little more lenient. Many still fear for their souls, so the majority of these deals are more calm/domestic in nature. However, it would be a lie to say that nobody has used or would use one of these deals for malicious purposes. Most of these deals, malevolent or not, are made in what’s called “The Underworld of New York” (commonly just called the Underworld by citizens and is an area of Queens) in a place known as the Bottle Eater. Just pray that your name doesn’t come up there outside of your awareness.

Now there is one demon that is especially popular when it comes to contract-making, the one they call “The Boogeyman.” Really, it’s the Ink Demon, who goes by Bendy in business affairs. He basically runs the Bottle Eater and resides in the hotel it’s attached to along with many of his other companions. As for the reason why he’s so popular, well, when you hear “ink demon,” you’re not expecting something too scary, right? Most people enter a deal with him because of this; they think he’s less intimidating. Well they sure are wrong. One of these misguided souls is Joey Drew, who was seeking a better understanding of the underworld, a kind of ‘insider’ if you will (because really, his little ghost hunting team were amateurs at most and he needed the upper hand). He got just that, but at what cost? Nobody knows, it’s one of the Ink Demon’s consistent rules: the terms of contracts aren’t to be discussed with anyone outside the contract. Regardless, after the contract was made, Quantum Paradox Inc. became a long-term associate of his. Yes, this is the “guy” that Joey enlists the help of.

Alice resides in the Underworld as well with her two sisters, Nyx and Calliope. All were the result of an angel father and demon mother. These coven members siblings are some of the Underworld’s most prominent entertainment figures. They make for a killer trio, quite literally sometimes.

note: there may be very minor changes to this as the story develops further. ALSO, the ink demon isn’t the antagonist or villain in this AU so sorry if i maybe made it sound like that. he’s more of an anti-hero yk? yeah.

i really hope you guys like this as much as i do and again i am holding out a little cup with “asks please” on it

About the AU

HCBFM is an AU of the popular indie horror game BATIM It focuses on a time far before BATIM in this AU Joey invites Henry back to JDS to witness the creation of a warped version of "Bendy the Demon" Shocked by the demon and slightly scared of what Joey could do, Henry stays.

this AU is also planning to have a much heavier focus on the cult and ritual elements that were present in early BATIM

Important Note: A majority of this AU was planned out before the BATDR release trailer so other than a few characters being renamed to BATDR characters (eg. HCBFM AU Wilson is almost entirely just an OC with his name)

This AU is primarily going to be told through audio logs, memos, and other notes and other things like that as well as textures as we do plan to make this into a game some day

and who knows we may do some other things in the future

also we have a discord server which has a pre-au rp section if you're into that and it also has exclusive AU content and behind the scenes stuff, so join

Fan art is allowed and encouraged.

Welcome to the Studio

Vanessa bonds with the OG gang while everyone else is kinda freaked out by them

Gregory encounters another would-be victim of Vanny’s, and they have to work together to escape

happy ending for When the Dead are All Living

a challenge to write a ficlet based on a youtube video

Price to Pay continuation specifically about Michael’s reaction to hearing about Gregory’s almost-murder

Michael shows up to the pizzaplex and gets mistaken for his father, sending Vanessa into a panic and the rest into protective mode

DJMM rescues other bots and they all have to process the way they tried to kill a child

Gregory and Vanessa die trying to defeat Afton and get shot back in time pre-help wanted

crossover between siblings AU and When the Dead are All Living

Vanessa and Gregory (Vanessa adopted him pre-Help Wanted) re-unite with the real Vanny (real-Vanny is just as nice as Vanessa), who was seemingly destroyed during Help Wanted to make room for killer-Vanny in Vanessa's mind (Vanessa pre Help Wanted (and post re-uniting) was a were rabbit who turned into Vanny during the night (Gregory loved cuddling her fuzzy fur) (same person or separate is up to you)

bots break free from Afton’s control and realize Vanessa is still trapped

[in progress] Henry batim meets Gregory

siblings AU — Vanessa is hurt on the job

siblings AU — by necessity, Annie spends the weekend at the pizzaplex and meets the fam

Meet my Cuphead AU’s!!

Hello there! This blog is where I post my Cuphead AU’s. You guys can ask anything from each of them. Though, here’s a little list/explanation about each of them

Glitch-Bound AU • Cuphead & mugman are considered puppeteers. The rest of the characters are considered as puppets. • This is a crossover AU of Cuphead, the owl house, Amphibia, Boboiboy, Pokémon, Murder drones & a little bit of cookie run: kingdom • Mugman’s powers are a bit limited, whilst Cuphead doesn’t • Cuphead is the main puppeteer. He is more powerful than the others • Cuphead tends to act like a child from times (& he throws tantrums, but mugman calms his ass down) • This AU is quite dark as it contains gore, blood, $uIc*d^, Manipulation, and a whole lot of murder

Hexside AU • A little crossover AU: Cuphead x BATIM x The Owl house • Cuphead is a witch, while Mugman is a half witch-half demon hybrid. • Mugman’s eyes are special Cuz whenever he looks at someone or something, it floats around, sort of like psychic powers • has little angst

Red Cardinal AU • Here, Mugman is an only-child, due to Cuphead dying at a young age. What’s quite sad is that Mugman has no memory of Cuphead when they were little. • While reading a book, a red cardinal land on Mugman’s book. Mugman decides to keep the little bird & named him Flappy. • I made this AU pre-s3 of the Cuphead show & after the owl house’ “Thanks to them”. It was made for a little recovery cause of the red cardinal in that show died. I am still recovering to this day • In this AU, Mugman wishes he had a brother.

Forgotten friend AU • A Cuphead show “What if...?” AU • What if... Chalice managed to actually betray Cups & Mugs • Cups & Mugs made a deal with the devil for them to live, & in return they have to collect at least 1 soul per day • Cuphead & Mugman wield a Scythe (one of the reasons I made this AU) • AU half-inspired by a webtoon series “I am the Grim reaper” • Half of their Memories are erased • What the cup bros remember: elder kettle, Themselves, The devil & King dice • What they don’t remember: Their adventures (Brineybeard, Cala, Chalice, Bon Bon) Hanahaki disease AU • I researched what it meant but I’m disregarding its og meaning in this AU lmao (you cannot stop me) • Cuphead was the one infected • I do not ship Cuphead x Baroness von bon bon Ask box will be open from a lot of times

comes in here to talk about a batim au i'm writing a fic for

so lets start with some background: in my og setting i have a thing called Whimsy. both a hivemind entity and also a living place in the Burrows between reality and the Dreamlands. with it's main theme being Girl Underground fiction (examples: alice in wonderland, coraline, the nutcracker) and it's MO being that it lures people into itself to sustain itself.

think like how a theme park needs people to keep itself alive.

and in my hearts heart, BATIM to me is a piece of girl underground fiction. and i got the thought "hey, i wonder what would happen if we combined the two?"

and then i went fucking ham.

so in this au. Whimsy decides to place rabbit holes in JDS (pre ink hell JDS. for the record) to do it's usual luring of guests. and there is a sizable amount of people in the studio with plenty of reason to want an escape! and so various batims end up getting trapped in Whimsy because well- the place never really likes letting it's guests LEAVE.

and this goes on until Whimsy decides it's taken enough people, ending it's luring season by catching one Joey Drew. until Henry gets that fateful letter and gets caught too.

and aaaa- yeah that's the important bits i guess!

#spook's writing #spooks' urban fantasy setting #bendy and the ink machine #never thought i would be tagging both in the same post but here we are!#BATIMS in Whimsy au

idk circumstances beyond my control have led me to being home today (and *only* today damn it). But I suppose I'll use this time to write myself some notes about my bendy!au I have going on tiktok (and that I intend to update?)

Why OVERWORKED? - pure self indulgence! I did a couple of creepy tiktoks and maybe 2 people thought they were awesome enough to comment praise on - but I think I've always wanted to make something like it. My earliest efforts on tiktok *were* a sort of fan exploration of studio original characters but I have...semi better props?

I tried something like this with fnaf (and depending on how this works I'm gonna go back to it) but it's basically a snippet of some of my favorite things in a little fan project. Just...sans acting (perhaps?) . I can't really manage acting for these guys since because while I'm trans I haven't transitioned yet.

So while it's a technical skill issue it's also a nerves issue. I can handle critique of performances to music and stuff That's not mine - but my skin's not thick enough to expose my own acting skills without a lot of safety no matter how much I like the story.

Also, I mostly cosplay Henry (he's my most popular character) but I wanted to deliver something besides Henry or William Afton (not new content in cosplay at allll) so I did a sort of pre-game Sammy and people liked pieces of him and thus...

WHAT'S IT ABOUT? -

'Overworked' is the story of 3 people, 2 of whom join the growing # of missing individuals at JDS taking place between Buddy's investigations in DCTL. In essence, it's the story of some of the people who go missing *before* the theater incident and Sammy disappears completely but *after* Buddy lets the demon out.

(Buddy himself acknowledges that there are weeks wherein people realize that Sammy's missing and that he doesn't notice an animator he worked with was missing at all.)

It surrounds a never finished cartoon short about Christmas with Bendy as Krampus, Alice as Mrs. Claus, and Boris as Santa/a reindeer/an elf.

If you were to investigate *why* you would find out that big chunks of the staff vanished including the director who regularly butted heads with the music department's director...but then Sammy disappeared and this is early depression New York City so...who'd miss them?

WHAT INSPIRED THIS? -

First - this documentary put out by TWDC about the process behind snow white. (My favorite part is the positive assurance that the ink and paint department's girls are all 'pretty' and that they are in an *air conditioned building all their own* because the misogyny of Hollywood back then was something else.

(I could go on and on about this topic and the sheer hypocrisy since Walt met Lillian Disney in *his* ink and paint department and apparently didn't want his 'boys' tempted apparently by all the pretty girls so he had them all in a building the male animators jokingly called 'the nunnery' but.)

Anyway. Here's the piece. It's about 8 minutes.

youtube

In it is described the process of animation and how gags have to be timed *very specifically* to various shots with music. I think the average Disney output was something like 2-3 shorts at a time before he moved focus to features prior to the strike in 1941 (which also plays a part in this.)

Given the sheer size of the studio and how every character describes being 'overworked' with Sammy's log describing 4 cartoons at once needing 'a tune by tomorrow' even if he was being hyperbolic- making animation is an intense process. Unless he has other directors or would let other directors work (unlikely) the man most likely worked in depth with teams of at least 20 people all at once including his own department which is at a time 80 people with unique projects. All of which required unique brainpower and creativity.

Henry talks about how Joey has only ideas, Sammy says he has poor planning. I speculate that in BATIM canon Joey picks people who are immensely talented (facts)- but he has/had a very tenuous grasp of what it actually takes to produce an animated cartoon.

Especially when reality at the time had most animation as part 'magic' part science. Most of the technology developed (sound, color) was put into mainstream use by Disney with his animators and sound men part creatives part scientists.

So you have a guy who had his best friend/crush/object of obsession who was the technical brains behind your outfit leave...my man was flying by the seat of his underwear.

And people suffered for it.

Overworked deals with an animation director who was trained at another studio and raised with a very firm idea of what it takes to make art, a music director losing his mind, and a member of the music department trying to process just what that means.

Basically the music department at this point:

WHAT KIND OF TECHNICAL SPECS ARE YOU USING? -

A ringlight, basic makeup skills (so basic) some writing, tiktok clips and -
