Willowpelt sounds SO autistic, it not being funny wraps around into being funny again.
My secret is being so autistic and so surrounded by so many other autistic people that I forget what tismless people even do. Everyone in BB ends up getting a touch of ADHDautism. As a treat.
But yeah when I was jotting it down I realized it too. Like wow, I really hit this one with the autism beam. Me and you, Willy, we will both have adamantine opinions. I cannot condone your hatred of apples but you do have a good point about oak trees.
He occasionaly bails kids out of trouble like When there's police chatter involving something kids did he's always first to come or something idk
I see an opportunity here but what if he's on the run like Bee was because he used to be very recognizable and he's legally MIA or assumed dead or something. But he's here and pops out of seemingly nowhere and going through his own internal redemption arc because... why not?
Finally got the chance to listen to yesterday’s audio and my takeaway was Sam saying “intentions” with the Southern accent I’m more used to where the e sounds more like an i and it felt a lil more authentic
“Poor, unhappy Erik! Shall we pity him? Shall we curse him? He asked only to be 'someone,' like everybody else. But he was too ugly! And he had to hide his genius or use it to play tricks with, when, with an ordinary face, he would have been one of the most distinguished of mankind!"
I'm gonna be making a video soon explaining my Phantom Of The Opera design because he's one of my personal favorite gothlit designs I've done, with a lot of detail and references + real reasoning put behind the way he looks, and he's a good character to talk about while still avoiding spoilers for my comic since he's not particularly plot relevant. So I made this piece as a bigger detailed project to talk over since I felt like his initial concept art was too messy for it. :)
Absolutely love drawing Erik, he's so fun and the original book is my second favorite ever <3 so good.
if I somehow pass music tech I will be astounded because what the fuck is this. Why was I forced to make these musical decisions. Never again will I put myself through this fucking class.
Fandom treats Sammy like some fanatical weirdo like every other word was Bendy’s name. As funny as that interpretation is, like there is a reason Sammy lasted so long and had all those lost ones under his control.
I get the ideas that he could easily be a deranged cult leader that killed anyone who crossed him but you gotta remember he’s way out numbered by the lost ones and searchers. Sammy doesn’t seem manipulative in his preachings and would most likely do what he does whether they followed him or not. So it’s my understanding that they are willingly at his side. Allison directly states that Sammy keeps them tamed, meaning that before the whole cult thing they may have been feral or at least way more hostile than simply idly crying or moping about. Sammy is the prophet, their prophet and that makes Sammy a powerful entity when everyone but like 4 people are on his side and follow his every word. (Even the butcher gang attack Henry during the chapter 5 village battle) No one fucks with Sammy cause he’s both unhinged as fuck and he has like an army of a devoted congregation ready to swing on you the moment they feel you threaten them or him. Say what you will but I would not mess with him if I was aware of this like everyone down there already is. Of course, Malice still attacks him in BATDS cause he’s on her terf and she has the advantages of her machines and weapons and a gun.
I also feel like people get the type of prophet he is wrong, (even he does) which enforces the idea he gets no respect or has any leeway in the studio.
A prophet by definition speaks or conveys a message for a divine being, Sammy believing that Bendy is his divinity. We know this is not true by the way Bendy treats him, but if you have read DCTL, you know that the ink in general speaks to him and only him this way. No other character describes the ink with such adoration as Sammy does when infected by it; Malice hates it, Allison describes it as a nothingness before something and everyone else actively avoids touching it. This implies the ink chose him and the ink itself is his divine entity… that he rejected. Sammy is a prophet, but has been following the wrong denomination essentially. so he’s a heretic but that’s a whole other can of worms. Of course, he can’t appease someone he was never meant to serve! Sammy is meant to be a seer but acts as a servant. The ink in the book wants him to sacrifice, to spread itself and it’s influence to as many “non-believers” as possible. Sammy in game disregards it, instead honoring one of its machinations, like a golden calf situation read the Bible to get this reference kids.
Even if he is wrong, the ink still chose him and a lot of the ink creatures know not to mess with things the demon or the ink favors. This kinda gets into headcanon and interpretation territory but it’s heavily implied Bendy doesn’t directly control the ink. He can pass through it and is more resistant than it but he again is something born of it. He is a separate being at this point, somehow shambling about with out a soul despite the ink that is full of them. The demon scares everyone cause it can send you back, not because it has any real influences or power over anything down there. It just acts like it does. If this is the case, it makes sense that the ink still influences and controls some of the discretion of its followers. If it really did choose Sammy, and still believes that he can give it what it wants, than whose to say it doesn’t influence the others to follow its prophet? Sammy is devote to his cause, loyal and literally the only protector and being down their that treats them with a twinge of humanity and respect. Mix that with the ink telling you he is a seer than you get people who would follow whatever inane bullshit he spouts.
The other characters are locked into areas or have few allies. Malice stays hidden in heavenly toys, not even waking her own hall due to the threats. Tom Boris and Allison make camps and avoid all other ink creatures. The only ones that seem to travel around willingly are the searchers, butcher gang, lost ones and Sammy. You can call him stupid for it but I see it more as he knows he doesn’t have to worry about much else attack him… disregarding his lord and a few or the more feral butcher gang.
I just think too many people play up the groveling part of Sammy’s devotion when you have to remember how much he has control of down in the ink. That his focus was appeasing Bendy and helping his flock survive. He’s not a god nor invulnerable (Tom Boris made us very aware of that) but I do remember Joey saying he can presented as such over the domain he oversees.
Just like the music department, his congregation is his domain and it benefits him greatly that it is so scattered.
☆ Does the public know about your murder oc, do they know they kill people, how do they act around others, and do they have friends? ☆
Prompt by @murder-oc-week
🎤 TRANCE 🎤
The public knows of Trance very well seeing as he's a famous rockstar, though no one knows of his acts as a killer. Around the public, he has a charming facade that's flirty and confident, but around the very few he trusts, he's broken and unstable and has many flaws. He considers Egon and Seiren his friends.
🌌 SEIREN 🌌
No one other than those in Trance's inner circle (Trance, Egon, Wraith, and Jet) know Seiren. He'd a very curious demon, but has a bit of a sarcastic, bratty side. He considers Trance and Wraith his friends, though Wraith scares the shit out of him.
📷 EGON 📷
Not many people know of Egon since he keeps to himself and he stays out of the public's attention during Trance's shows and whatnot. Around others, he's quiet and cold and won't typically say much, but he's simply intimidating to be around. He considers Trance, Hauer, and Wraith his friends.
💀 WRAITH 💀
Wraith is not know by anyone but Trance's inner circle, being a demon and all. He's loud and obnoxious and will mess with anyone and taunt them when he can. He considers Egon and Seiren his friends.
💉 HAUER 💉
Not many people know of Hauer other than a few living family members and Trance's group, and then of course the people he interacts with on the dark web where he posts about his "experiments". Around others, he is cruel and cold, but has a hard time picking up on social cues. He often will say whatever is on his mind. He considers Egon his friend.
⛓️ RALPH ⛓️
No one but Hauer and Trance's group know of Ralph. He can range from being timid and reclusive to aggressive and lashing out to new people. He doesn't have anyone he considers a friend.
🖥 JET 🖥
Jet is pretty social, but he doesn't stick out in people's memories. He's pretty easily forgotten by those he meets, other than Trance's group. He acts happy and excitable and energetic around people. He considers Trance, Wraith, Bogy, and Egon is friends (though the friendship is very one-sided with Egon).
🪽 LIAS 🪽
Lias is known by a few people as he often volunteers at churches, but he keeps his presence pretty low key. Around most people, he acts friendly and sweet, but few will see his true nature as pompous and sadistic, as he looks down on everyone as he sees them as beneath him. He doesn't have friends because he doesn't believe he needs them.
🥀 BOGY 🥀
Bogy is pretty well known in the area she works by regulars at her bar and by several exes. She's pretty social but doesn't get too close to people. She is friendly and kind to people, though she avoids opening up too much. She considers Jet her friend.
The elation having read some cr spoilers from yesterday vs. my paranoia convincing me I hit a cyclist on my way to work this morning and then when I turned to check and grazed a snowbank I was actually running over his mangled corpse and if I don't go back and check RIGHT NOW the world will end
frankly i like the things i learned while making this more than the result itself and i wasnt really sure i even wanted to post it in part due to that but if i do keep iterating on the process i used during it, i feel this is valuable context
oh also before i forget: the sketch was done using this brush instead of the one i made earlier
tagged by @infiniteecosmos to search for the following words in my writing and post snippets, tyyyyyyy for the tag <3
@nicolasnelson @callous-and-misunderstood if you want to do this tag game: your words are grow, red, noise, careful, curious
follow (the rotten four discover swivel chairs 😌)
Mal conducted a slow, experimental spin. A faster turn quickly followed. Then another. She paused to say, “Hmmm,” then decided that they had bothered to come all the way here so they might as well take the chair back with them. Her reasoning was that they might be in Auradon now, but they still needed their spoils. They were evil! They were rotten! Taking stuff that didn’t belong to them was practically in their blood, and this chair right here was ripe for the picking.
Carlos called bullshit. He knew the exact moment she fell in love. He could see it in her eyes.
dig (UHHH i wrote a very scattered 500 words for a spiderverse au where everyone is a spidey and in this scene carlos was standing at the edge of the roof and harry shoved him off for giggles and then jay revenge-shoved harry off the roof and then this part happens where gil is nice. btw this is literally all of the words that i wrote for this scene :D)
Dizzy clutched at Celia's arm, digging in her fingers as they peered down the side of the building with wide eyes. Gil sidled up next to Jay, who raised his eyebrows at him in question.
“Come on,” Gil said, “I wouldn't do that to you.”
“Bro,” Jay said.
“Bro,” Gil agreed.
then they fistbump!!!!! yeah!!
bright
Mal’s eyes were dull and muddied in color. Evie suddenly ached for the bright green she knew was hidden beneath the glamour. Lately, the only times she seemed to see her real eyes was when something inside Mal was threatening to break.
peace (idk about the phrasing here so vibes only rn <3)
His world shrank, if only momentarily, into the bubble of this room, hugging him with the familiarity and warmth of a blanket. It was peaceful and safe here: with Jay, lazing on the end of the bed; with Mal, her head against his shoulder; with Evie, humming a simple melody.
need (song as in a siren’s song!! cecaelia sea witch uma! and evie is a siren)
Uma didn’t need a song. If she wanted to, she could easily grab his two ankles and drag him into the water, dive down deep and let the ocean do the rest.
