Somehow Alive

An ask blog for the batim/batdr fans :D This is with my “Aftermath AU” when the employees escaped the studio—it’ll center around Jack Fain and Sammy Lawrence, but asks for other characters are welcome :] (…this is my first ask blog so bear with me) !IF ON-SCHEDULE, RESPONSES SHOULD TAKE 2-4 DAYS!

I wanna see pre + post cycle normannnn

(I know you said you’d already do this but I wanted to give you motivation :3)

Sorry about the lack of pre-cycle Norman, but you can imagine how he used to look… He’s one of the most scarred out of all of us, I think.

Pre vs. Post Cycle Jack

Actual character designs! There isn’t a whole lot of detail with these drawings (and they’re sort of chibi-ish) so if you have any questions at all, send them in! Jack will probably be the one to answer them.

For the record, I just…didn’t want to draw another hand, which is which pre-cycle Jack is lacking one…

Hey! So uhm! The last post on this blog was in April of last year, but we can look past that. This was the first ask blog I’ve ever done so uh?? Idk maybe it wasn’t run all that well.

But I have experience now so I could probably properly run it in a way where I’m not taking forever to respond to asks + have the drawings actually look nice.

I’ll be posting to the blog again, probably starting fresh with some intro designs and info, but I’ll keep the old posts for now. Feel free to send in asks regardless of that, obviously they’re always welcome. :]

“I’m not really sure Sammy’s in a state to date anyone anyways, with the whole….ex-cult leader thinggg….” ~Jack

How was wroking in Joey Drew Studios??

(Pros and cons)

“It certainly had an interesting cast of characters! And the coffee wasn’t too bad either. But, uh, I would’ve liked some more credit and quieter place to work than… well, the sewers.”

“The conditions were shit, the pay was shit, the employees were shit… Absolutely no one listened, no matter what you were saying—and that shouldn’t be coming from the music director!”

FAVORITE COFFE FLAVOR (or tea)

(very important cuestion)

• Sammy likes a medium roast with a bit milk and sugar, or a mocha if he’s at a coffee shop!

• Jack likes a dark roast, just simple black coffee, and a red eye if he’s at a coffee shop!

Special thanks to @ast3r01d-astr0 for drawing Sammy’s mocha cup (as well as another one that wasn’t used) for these! And sorry it took so long to post this—we’ve both been kinda busy this week. 😰

Are they dating?

So… Complicated answer. In short, no. But there is some romantic tension between them that’s just never been addressed. Jack has identified his feelings towards Sammy, just never brought them up, while Sammy is so straight he just assumed whatever this is, it’s nothing close to love. Jack hasn’t acted on anything because he can’t be what Sammy needs in a relationship, and vice versa, so they keep it platonic.

[ask-aftermathau]

do you like tater tots?🧍‍♀️

Jack likes virtually everything when it comes to food, though.

[ask-aftermathau]

first of all, love the picture

So who all is living with Linda and Henry? Thanks ^^

Thank you!! :D

Wally and Shawn technically left the studio and then… came back like Henry. They’re not staying at the Stein’s, but stay in-town to help out. Everyone else shares sleeping quarters in different rooms of the house.

Hello! As the desc says, this will be an ask blog for Sammy and Jack with my Aftermath Batim/Batdr AU. Feel free to ask these two anything, though separate character questions are also accepted.

(AU desc under cut)

AU Context:

After escaping the time loop of the ink machine, the former employees (or the ones that could get out, anyways) moved into Henry and Linda’s house. Everyone’s… Semi-intact? They’re healing.
