How exactly does anti's strings work? Are they actually strings? Do they seep and embed into the puppet's body? Does it work when you cut them short and still be able to manipulate from afar wirelessly?
i always assumed they were either literal in the sense of him controlling JJ in that one video-up to metaphorical like manipulating you to do something he basically told you to do. I feel like they kind of live under your skin until Anti needs them to be physical.
I feel like if you cut them, depends- if the puppet is basically a corpse, you are pretty much just cutting off Anti's way to use it.
However if the strings are the only thing keeping that person alive? Different story. Its like unplugging life support
Strings don't need to be visible in order for one to be a puppet, ya know~
Anti: Do you know how tiring it is keeping up this double life for your sake? I can't throw a rock, without somebody griping about me looking like Jack-
Me: Gee, wow, not like you're using him like a muppet-
Anti: ...That's actually quite accurate, calling him a Muppet.
Me: Pardon?
Anti: He's both a puppet, and a glove (:
Me: Boss, every time you open your mouth, God silently weeps.

I literally brought up the absolute nonsense that Anti says in like my last post, somebody needs to stop this man.
Chase said that c!Jack's in a coma -> c!Jack died -> Anti is currently in charge of his body-
-> The absolute dread that Chase has to feel knowing that there's a motherfucking demon that has taken hold of his "comatose" (dead) best-friend, and has murdered who-knows-how many people while wearing his skin.
A/N: I wanted to play with my deaf Jackie headcanon in a PhantomHero context, and @iamvegorott gave me the idea that maybe Jackie's afraid of thunder.
-
“Jackie?” Phantom waled through the door and frowned at the darkness of the house that greeted him. He shrugged off his jacket, shaking the rain off him before setting it aside to dry, then headed into the house in search of Jackie.
Thunder boomed outside, flashes of lightning lighting the house at intervals and illuminating the abandoned dinner setup in the kitchen. Phantom lifted the lid of the pot on the stove, pulling a face at the smell of burnt curry, and his heart dropped with the thought of how disappointed Jackie would be.
“Sweetheart, where are—” he was cut off by the sound of whimpering, broken by gasps when lightning flashed. Following the sounds, Phantom found Jackie in the bedroom, huddled in the corner with his knees hugged to his chest.
Quietly, carefully, Phantom moved to crouch beside Jackie, hesitantly reaching out to touch his hand. A brief glance told him that Jackie wasn’t wearing his hearing aids, implying he had taken them off while cooking and the thunderstorm had caught him by surprise.
When Jackie flinched at another flash of lighting and rumble of thunder, Phantom gently tapped his hand in a comforting pattern, waiting for him to look up before giving him a smile. He lifted a hand, holding it toward Jackie’s head, then waited for Jackie to nod before cupping his hand over his ear, closing his eyes and pressing his forehead to Jackie’s.
“Are you alright?” he whispered, using his powers to make his hand into a makeshift hearing aid, waiting for Jackie to nod and his breathing to even out before continuing. “I wasn’t expecting the storm either, or I’d have come back home sooner to look after you.”
“I’m a hero, and I’m scared of thunderstorms,” Jackie berated himself, moving his hands to grip Phantom’s upper arms tightly. “The lightning and the vibrations are too unexpected, and they catch me off guard.”
“I know, honey,” Phantom whispered, slowly guiding Jackie to stand so they can sit on the bed. “But being afraid doesn’t make you any less of a hero. Things happen unexpectedly, and there’s no way to prevent it.” He waited while Jackie curled into his side, flicking on the bedside lamp and pressing Jackie’s hearing aids into his hands.
“I’m real grateful that you’re here,” Jackie whispered, tucking his aids into his pockets and resting his head against Phantom’s chest, letting the gentle thump of his heart soothe him. He hummed as Phantom started running his fingers through his hair, pulling the blanket up over them and leaning back so they were more comfortable.
“I’ll be here always,” Phantom replied quietly, knowing Jackie could sense what he was saying. “I’d never abandon my favourite hero, not when he needs me in a thunderstorm.” He smiled when Jackie nuzzled closer to him, closing his eyes and listening to Jackie’s breathing.
“I burnt dinner,” Jackie whispered tearfully, making Phantom chuckle.
A pride piece for trans/top surgery jackie. I always hc that he swims, particularly in lakes where other people arent as able to see his body.(also yes i am compensating for not getting around to the last 4 pride icons, im sorry)
(an edit based off the HC that C!Jack=JBM, and that the two of them were best friends before he disappeared/went comatose, leaving Chase to be the one to be strong and pick up the pieces for the channel afterwards.)
Just read some of your batdr theory posts and youve already made me completely doubt everything i ever thought i knew about bendy lmao- (this is a good thing), and i wanted to ask about your thoughts regarding grant cohen (whether in context of your theories or just in general) bc im a Grant Enjoyer and id really like to hear your thoughts!
Thank you hehe, yay! 😝 In general: Grant's cool, love his voice, respect for all accountants from my dyscalculic behind but extra respect for him lasting any amount of time dealing with Joey's impulsive spending, him and Shawn as autistic-and-ADHD-besties is a fave platonic ship (fun fact, DAGames is autistic and Jacksepticeye is ADHD IRL and I did not know that when I started having that headcanon; guess The Vibes are just that strong, rofl). Theory-wise: Idk if you've read Part Three yet, but I sure have some thoughts there lol (Nathan Sr. totally inked him 👀).
unhinged thought posting but Anti's apology video would be
"so I heard a lot of you puppets have been listening to some information released at the local iris facility, and I'm here to say that I DO NOT kill people, that is my least favorite thing to do. The security camera footage is clearly under dim red lightning, and I would imagine such a thing would be hard to tell what was going on. That glitchy blurred image was not me and I encourage you please, don't believe anything they tell you....
:is clearly hiding a knife behind him while talking about this:
He replay the footage, this time showing a version of events that ate clearly manipulated and distorted.
Anti just smiling sweetly and telling the viewer his only target was Chase! He's the one who killed the guards! He was a danger to himself, Anti was there to save him. The light behind him flickers and an image of Chase appears, dangling by strings.
Anti's head tilts and he smirks, asking if we saw something before going back to 'apologizing'-
