Happy Anniversary, Cuphead! 🎁🎂

As you can see, today is the 6th Anniversary Cuphead, the most popular video and beloved franchise to ever hit the gaming systems from the internet to the PlayStation4, Nintendo Switch, you name it!

I want to thank the brilliant people of the StudioMDHR who had created such an incredible game and all of the amazing characters as well as such an incredible story from the main storyline and the DLC that came out in June last year.

And I want to most especially want to thank my good friends, @akluthor1998 and @Nataliepthatsmefor being my two best online friends and fellow Cuphead fans who have encouraged me to be apart of the community of this beloved franchise and share my imagination and compassion to both the game and the cartoon show on Netflix.

Lexie, Natty. Thank you. You guys are the best. ☺️

I would also like to thank @Ashleymasenado for being yet another good friend, fellow Cuphead fan and follower. Thanks, Alexa, you’re awesome, too! 😉

This has been great and wonderful six years for Cuphead, Mugman, Elder Kettle, Ms. Chalice and all of the incredible characters from the supporting and villainous characters (yes, especially for the Devil and his good for nothing lackey, King Dice). And my only wish is for future generations of Cuphead fans to give the franchise more love and devotion for many years to come.

Happy Anniversary to our dearest friends, the Cup Brothers, their friends, family and all of the residents of the Inkwell Isles and may your dreams shine! 🎉🎊🥳

If there wasn’t an NPC like Tully who scorns Cuphead and Mugman for always choosing violence against the NPCs they’re pit against, I probably wouldn’t really consider the morality of their actions. Especially because the game doesn’t let you be a pacifist in boss battles. You have to fight the debtors to progress. You can only be a pacifist in the run and gun levels (which is interesting because none of those levels are, technically, required. Those levels are unnecessary violence).

But Tully encourages the player to look at everything from a different perspective. By bringing the concept of pacifism up at all in this game, you’re encouraged to feel for all the NPCs that Cuphead and Mugman are constantly hurting — including the debtors, who put up some challenging, if not rage-inducing, fights. And honestly, it makes sense for those battles to be hard as hell. The debtors’ souls are on the line. Of course they’re throwing everything they got at Cuphead and Mugman.

But it’s… a little tragic that both sides are fighting for the same reason, to save themselves, from the same enemy that screwed them over. I don’t know if all the debtors lost their souls due to greed in the casino — the game seems to imply that, though I think it’s more fun to imagine they all have different reasons or weaknesses that the Devil used to his advantage. Either way, both sides — the Cupbros and the other debtors — are sympathetic.

However, Cuphead and Mugman are… not the ‘bad guys’ in these confrontations, per se… but they’re certainly playing the part. We don’t know if they are actually pretending to be on the Devil’s side, if they’re honest with the debtors about wanting to stop him, if they’re sympathetic, if they don’t initially care about helping the others, or what. It’s up for interpretation, which has its pros and cons. (Though Tully being on Isle 3 suggests the boys probably don’t fully consider the lives/feelings of all their adversaries before then.)

Regardless, the way I see it, from the beginning, Cuphead and Mugman risk becoming the Devil’s actual lackeys by working for the Devil in an ironic attempt to save themselves from damnation. They could lose their souls before the Devil even takes their souls by abandoning their compassion, humanity, etc. on the road to retrieving these contracts. And that’s where the climax of the game comes from. That’s why the player is even given a choice whether to hand the soul contracts over to the Devil or not — the only choice in the entire game the player can make that affects the outcome of the story.

If Cuphead and Mugman complete the job, they’re free of their debt but the mask becomes real. They end up actually working for the Devil and losing their souls. It’s less an abrupt transformation and more the final nail in the coffin. Selfishness and cruelty have won, and they have become exactly what they’ve been turning into. Demons. To deny the Devil is to care about the NPCs and their plights. Which I think is maybe also part of the game’s challenge — to feel for the debtors and want to help them even as the game is forcing you to fight them in battles that consistently put you through the ringer.

Cuphead and Mugman have to fight for the other debtors to get the good ending. They can’t screw the other debtors over to save themselves. They have to care about them. And so does the player.

top ten Cuphead characters that need therapy

If I’m doing just the game and not the show versions (and with a few headcanons, I can’t think of all 10 without them) then…

10. Kettle 9. Saltbaker 8. Compass Boatman 7. The animators who probably went insane animating the dang thing 6. Hilda Berg 5. Dr. Kahl 4. Quadratus 3. Mugman 2. Cuphead 1. Chalice

if it was without headcanon, the list would just be Mugman, Cuphead, and Chalice

i feel like it's wrong to like stuff like cupcest cuz I mean, yeah, they're brothers and all, but maybe in some au far off in space, they're not brothers and they're meant to be lovers. but ive seen so many people saying its gross and I'm like; "makes sense, they're brothers." Then I look at this stuff, and I'm like: "its actually not that bad." so yeah. But anyway, can i see your mug and cup and whether they're parents or not? (im not caught up with this stuff yet-)

Sorry for the long wait, Anon

But I get what you mean since people like to associate fiction onto reality and as a moral compass, we then started to feel bad for shipping something so taboo as fictional incest. And the dog piling towards someone because what they like in fiction doesn't correlate to what morally correct is nerve-wrecking. As long as we enjoy something that won't harm real people and can distinguish between our reality and fictional world, it's all good ^^

...

As for your request, sure thing!

The part where Cuphead and Mugman are parents is just a silly prompt from another Anon asked, "What if Cuphead was pregnant and Mugman taking care of him?" I loved the idea so I ran with it and created more scenarios based on each ask about them.

And yes, they have a daughter named, Sugarcup ^^

But what I draw between the Cuphead and Mugman is pretty much up to my mood whether I want them to be as brothers and being silly or as lovers who share kisses every now and then. Or just being angsty in general XD

I do have an AU loosely based on FNF Indie Cross where Cuphead accidentally killed Mugman while fighting BF and when Cuphead was at lost because he couldn't save Mugman in time, he had received an unknown power that not even the Devil could stand a chance.

Meanwhile, Mugman refused to rest peacefully because he was worried what might've happened to Cuphead after he was gone. So he was sent down to Earth with no soul to parry, meaning he's stuck as a ghost forever and saw the destruction which Nightmare!Cuphead had created.

From that day on, Mugman had to stick by Cuphead's side, in order not to get him even more trouble.

...

Yeah, that's pretty much all ya need to know about my Cuphead and Mugman drawing XD

can we get more evil cupchal headcanons

Abso-fuckin-lutely, dude! :D

💖evil cupchal Headcanons part 2 cause y’all surprisingly like them💜

(Btw, for newer people: chalice = malice, cuphead = eve (short for evil), mugman = vile)

- malice constantly sings to eve to calm him down, poor boy gets angry so easily.

- very clingy towards each other, like fuckin leeches. It’ll take a crowbar and a whole swat team to pull them apart.

- eve is usually the ones embarrassing the both of them, but when MALICE does it, eve’s heart skips a beat.😍

- malice refers to herself as ms malice, when she and eve started dating, people would just joke and call her “Mrs malice.” she liked it! Thought it was catchy, eve becomes a mess, he’s not really ready for that yet-

- maybe one day, he hopes. He may be young but he’s got the whole wedding planned-

- as said before, this version of them is in a circus act! When cuphead performs, he doesn’t get a lot of applause, more like insults……malice takes care of them. Reeeeeeaaaalll good.

- vile and malice are bitter exes, so it’s INCREDIBLY awkward. eve and malice started dating AFTER vile and malice broke up, but still, eve feels like he betrayed his brother, vile just doesn’t care though.

- vile DOES make jokes about it though, calling malice mean names, but deep down, I think vile is only upset with their relationship because either: he remembers malice before they lost their souls and doesn’t forget what she’s done, or because not a single living being in hell has the same love, comfort, compassion and care that eve and ms malice have. They actually care for each other. They don’t pretend for attention, they aren’t using each other for anything, they have no physical gain, they just enjoy each other’s company. No one else in hell would even dream of it, that’s what makes it special.

- eve LOVES drawings! (He draws psychologically horrifying things cause, you know, hell.) malice ADORES them and has a box of ones eve has given her!

(That’s all I got for now, but I hope you like them! Which one was your favorite? Anything you want to add?)

Inktober 2022 Day 28, My Cuphead rook OC, Jeff, he sometimes go camping alone just to be away from all stress. Day 29, I remembered in the past that @mishka-mink's persona loooooooove chest hair so she can nuzzle it. Jeff wanna shave it but she's lurking. Feat. @mishka-minknk Day 30, I wanna draw a gear differently so here you go. I hate drawing something like this, need to rely on ruler and art compass.

Honestly thinking about it, and correct me if I’m wrong because this is stupid, but I feel like Cuphead saying “I ain’t too worried about it” is a way he copes with being worried about things.

think about it;

Usually right before or after something bad happens to Cuphead, he always says he isn’t too worried about it

Just for him to worry about it

For instance: Cuphead said I ain’t to worried about it right after he got in trouble with Elder Kettle for blowing up the fence with paint. Which doesn’t prove a lot right now. But As the show goes on, he says he ain’t too worried about it after the events on the Carnival, and when Mugman mentioned how he still owes the devil his soul, he says it again.

Then I don’t think we hear about that in a while

Until the sweater episode

Cuphead has a nightmare and wakes up yelling I ain’t too worried about it, which he clearly was worried due to the nightmare.

And he says I ain’t too worried about it once during the second sweater episode, and that was right before the devil appeared to take his soul, which failed, but the point still stands

Then again we don’t hear that phrase (at least I don’t think) until episode 12 of season 2.

Cuphead pretty much gets both him and Mugman lost in the woods, right after he launches the compass, he says “I ain’t too worried about it” and soon Mugman and Cuphead separate through the woods, and what happens to Cuphead? He’s cold and stranded away from both Mugman and Elder Kettle (even though the cottage was right there)

So uh yeah, tl;dr: Cuphead says “I ain’t to worried about it” As a way to cope from being worried about things, even if he is REALLY worried

Thanks for coming to my ted talk

So I have this audiobook on my phone called Lord Harding And The Flying Roosters. It’s an English translation of an abridged version of the Polish legend of Pan Twardowski (a very similar cultural icon to Faust). Mephistopheles is in it and my god, he really gets put through the wringer.

This poor devil gets summoned by an eccentric, hedonistic scholar who’s willing to sell his soul for ultimate knowledge and power (pretty standard so far) but then he ends up being bossed around and forced to assist Harding in acts of charity (and even changes individual peoples’ moral compasses which has some low-key terrifying implications about free will) to the point that he becomes the laughingstock of Hell. And then when he thinks he’s finally got the upper hand and is flaunting it to the gates of heaven, Harding repents and Mephistopheles has to return to Hell empty-clawed. He just can’t catch a break can he?

Also Mephistopheles is not a morning person. Lord Harding summons him early in the morning a few times and Mephistopheles complains about it every time. He’s just like “bro are you serious it’s 6am and I’m cranky as hell wtf you want?” Honestly he’s such a mood. What makes it even funnier is how his voice actor’s clearly trying to sound sinister, mysterious and maybe a little on the seductive side (and succeeds for the most part), but then he’ll also be like a tired whiny kid who’s fed up that his parents woke him up for school on a Monday morning and it’s bizarrely adorable.

Something tells me Meph would get along really well with Lucifluff (Cuphead’s Devil)

In the main game and DLC, who would say is your favorite to write for, and who would be the most worrying yandere?

In regards to your first question, I don’t think I can give a proper answer at this time. I’ve only written for a handful of the main game’s bosses and none of the DLC’s, so I can’t say exactly who my favourite out of all of them is as I haven’t written properly for everyone yet. However, I can tell you who my favourites are of the ones I have written for, as well as who I suspect I’ll enjoy writing for.

Of the ones I’ve written for, I’d have to say my favourites are the Devil, Grim, and the Root Pack. If I had to choose just one, though, it’d probably be the Root Pack. They’re just such a charming trio, and the way their personalities mix and clash, especially when they’re yanderes, is really fun to write about.

As for the ones I haven’t written for yet, I have a feeling I’m going to enjoy writing for Bon Bon, Djimmi, Rumor, Samuel, and Esther. One of my favourite tropes in yandere fanfiction is power imbalance, and since each of these five hold a significant amount of power (Bon Bon and Rumor are royalty, Djimmi is an all-powerful genie, Samuel is the head of a prominent crime syndicate, and Esther is the highest-ranking officer in her department), I think writing for them with a darling who’s just an average person would be a real treat.

As for your second question, I think there’s several Cuphead characters who could take the title of “most worrying yandere”, and those are Cagney, Bon Bon, and the Devil. The three of them seem like they’d be the most willing to resort to violence when faced with any obstacles, and that could spell trouble for both their darlings and the people around them.

Cagney’s moral compass is practically nonexistent, which, when combined with his jealousy and selfish personality, would make him quite the threat. He’d probably be the first to snap and resort to violence and/or kidnapping when faced with any threats to his relationship with his darling.

Bon Bon, I would say, is very similar to Cagney in terms of personality, though for different reasons. Given her royal upbringing, she was likely very spoiled when she was younger and thus, has come to expect to get whatever she wants, whenever she wants it. So, if someone tried to take away or threaten what she wants (i.e. her darling), I imagine she would resort to violence very quickly. In fact, I think she would eventually resort to executing people (provided they’re her subjects) who try to get between her and her darling. It would certainly be an effective warning towards anyone who thinks of doing the same, and she could also frame it as a punishment for “treason” should people start accusing her of being tyrannical.

Lastly, the Devil being a contender for the “most worrying yandere” is a no-brainer. He’s selfish, arrogant, possessive, and so taken with the idea of his darling belonging solely to him, it’s hard to imagine him not being dangerous. Anyone who opposes him or threatens his relationship will almost surely be sent to Hell, and there’s very little his darling can do to get him to change his mind. So, for these reasons, I think the Devil takes the cake in this scenario.

On a final note, I think you could also make an argument for Samuel being one of the top “worrying yanderes”, but that’s debatable. While he does appear to be a ruthless and calculating criminal, as you’d expect him to be, he also seems like he can be mellow and even jovial at times, specifically because of that final picture in the epilogue. Of course, this could very well be a persona he puts on when out in public, but I like to think there’s a part of him that can be gentle and understanding, especially towards his darling (sort of like Vito from The Godfather).

Katie, I Love You

A/N: Just a little song oneshot based off from the song from The Super Mario Bros Movie starring the TCS Devil. I’ve also decided to try a mildly extended version based off from a YouTube video of Jack Black performing the song live. I don’t own either the characters from The Cuphead or the song itself. This is all for a bit of fun. Mentions of Lexie and Natty belong to my friends, akuluthor1998 and Nataliepthatsme while I belong to myself.

Deep in the depths of the Underworld, the Devil is in his personal theatre, sitting at a piano and starts to play.

“This one is for my one and only true love, Katie Gemwing.” He announced before he starts to sing.

Devil: 🎶 Kate, you’re so cool

And with our powers, we’re gonna rule

Kate, understand

I’m gonna love you to the very end

Katie, Katie, Katie, Katie,Katie

I love you, oh!

Katie, Katie, Katie, Katie, Katie

I love you, oh!

Lexie and Natty and those stupid cups, too

A thousand troops of angels couldn’t keep me from you

Katie Gemwing, at the end of the line

I’ll make you mine, oh!

Katie, Katie, Katie, Katie, Katie

Katie, Katie, Katie, Katie, Katie

I love you, oh!

Katie, Katie, Kate, KATE!

Katie, I love you!

I love you!

I love you, Katie

Katie, you know I do

I love you…🎶

Once the Devil finished with his song, Henchman, only the one among the audience, was the only one moved to near tears by the love song and applauded while the imps had fallen asleep while wearing gag glasses with eyes over them.

“Yay! Oh, boy!” Henchman cheered as he whistled a bit as a pleased Devil bowed. “Encore! What a show! That’s my boss!”

An imp jumped awake, startled before he fell asleep again, much to the dismay of a worried Henchman.

“Wha-?!” The Devil exclaimed in shock and outrage. “Don’t any of you appreciate the sweet serenade of compassion and romance?!”

“I appreciated the nap!” An imp heckled before he got blasted into oblivion by a fire ball from the angry Devil’s pitchfork.

“Ugh! Imps! What do they know about the art of a love song?” The Devil groaned.

There are times he feels like he’s surrounded by idiots who show no appreciation for musicals.

Hey. It’s me, nightmare, fangirl, and other cuphead related blogs (mutual friend), Pyro.

I just wanted to say, I have two sides im on for you. Yes, i understand your angry with those anons being angry at you. Another thing I’m going to say, so please don’t hate me for this. Nightmaretherabbit has been getting some angry anons as well, just insulting her. I’m going to tell you the same thing I told them, ok?

it’s just words. They can never say that to you in real life to your face. It’s a screen. And it’s not even as bad then the hate nightmare got. So I want you to consider yourself lucky that your not getting called a flat out whore. I understand your angry and trying to defend yourself, but your getting out of control. Your making everyone afraid of you.

Second side now.

I also see your angry at fangirl for not drawing you something, but I don’t see that as a reason to end up threatening to kill yourself and trying to sue her. It’s stupid and you need to think about the impact your words have on others. You hurt her feelings and now she doesn’t want to talk to you.

People who are the angry ones, yes, do deserve some comfort, I know. So why don’t you ask people that you know in your household to just hang out with you, talk to real people or your friends. To help you get some comfort. If you don’t have friends at school, so be it. Go on a walk. Get out of your house. Calm the fuck down please drama Queen.

committing suicide over a small collection of lines that make a picture is ridiculous, I think you may be online a bit too much. You should try to draw something yourself. It’s doesn’t matter if it’s not one hundred percent perfect, nothing ever is. all I can say for your art is if you practice you’ll get better.

and please consider and think about what you say before you go and hate on people for not drawing you something. Fangirl didn’t mean to forget you, you are well aware of that, I know you are. she also didn’t know about your second account. if she did i see why she didn’t want to follow it.

But I’m not trying to be a negative Nancy, so all I’m saying is, you are a good person, deep deep DEEP under all your anger issues and hard to break wall of tension, and if you need friends, you need to change and be a better person. I hope this can help you become a little more calm, if not and you decide to rage at me, I will feel no sadness. I know you can’t hurt me.

it’s words on a screen. But my words on your screen are the truth, and I’m just trying to help you. if you reject this ask, I understand. But I’d like to think about what I have said, and try to apply at least a little compassion to people who forgot one thing for you.

I have friends from school they just live to far away and my family never wants to spend time with me.

It's one of the reasons I'm always on my phone, they never spend time with me because their to busy on their screens but when my younger sister asks they drop everything to spend time with her.

That's why i get angry when i am left out of stuff, online and irl.

I didn't mean to hurt fangirl.

I've never meant to harm anyone. I just got so jealous that i lost control and i realize i do not and never will deserve to vent or get comfort because i will always be the shitty person i am. I know that, even people on public discord servers say that I'll never change. I'm always going to be a bitch, isn't that just swell

In this last update before the end of our campaign we wanted to show you how we work on Enchanted Portals with this time-lapse video of the creation of one of the game's minions, from its design to its implementation in-game. Cruise Gifts & Services Birthdays, Anniversaries & More Romantic Cruises Weddings. The OceanMedallion pairs with a personal concierge called the Ocean Compass, which is a digital experience portal available online, on smart devices, on. If we are using the Cuphead analogy a whole finished boss (Pachi Pachi) was cut from the King Dice fight because it wasn’t accurate enough to the 1930s. Discover more posts about disney princess enchanted journey. Minion creation time-lapse / a message to our fans. One of the more technologically-friendly cruise lines, Enchanted Princess features Princess’ handy OceanMedallion, which makes everything from embarkation to ordering a drink way easier. By not sticking to one time period it can open up so much possibilities for bosses. Plus even though they’re using a rubber hose style of animation the looseness of the time period can create so many more interesting bosses and gags like the greaser roster and the technological space cow. Not to mention subtle mechanics like when Bobby(one of the 2 wizards) gets crushed by a hammer in the witch fight he gets a status change by not being able to shoot or the power up feature where the more precise you shoot the more powerful your shot becomes which was shown to us on Xixo studios’ Twitter. The run n’ gun genre wasn’t invented by Cuphead, neither was the rubber hose style both of them have been around for decades now. My problem with this whole controversy is that Cuphead being a Run n’ gun game doesn’t really do much with its mechanics and uses the bare minimum for that genre so no matter what Danny and Gemma used to make this game they would still be labeled as a Cuphead rip-off even though the mechanics showed off in this trailer are utilized in literally every run n’ gun game to ever exist. But even still all of these designs are original with there own ideas, gags, and attacks, having a Beethoven inspired boss taking place on a giant piano and having a boss based on “The Frog Prince” are EXTREMELY creative ideas what do you have to be smoking to think these guys are creatively bankrupt. (*sigh*) Ok look, even though I absolutely adore Cuphead as it’s my favorite game of all time this type of Animation takes so much effort, dedication, and money for Danny and Gemma (the creators of Enchanted Portals) just wanting to make a fan game.
