🖤 Susie and Malice, although the latter would never admit to it, miss everyone. Which of you studio dwellers is still active in the batim community?
[steps on my own emotions and grinds them into the dirt with my heel] anyways
hi there!!! i saw that you ship joey x susie, but i was wondering why you don't ship samsie? they're my otp and i'm curious on your opinion.
Hello there, anon! Thanks for sending this in, it was a curious and pleasant surprise to log onto! Without judging those that do ship samsie, I’d be happy to go into my reasons on why I don’t.
FAMILY HISTORY
Suzanne “Susie” Campbell was the first and only child born to a young, married couple. Susie’s father owned and operated the town’s most well-known butcher store and some of her earliest memories are of scurrying around the shop, occasionally finding her way into the cold back rooms where behind the frozen, hanging meat, favorite hiding spots were found during frequent games of Hide n’ Seek. Unfortunately, Susie’s father passed away when she was still very young, leaving her mother to raise her alone in the early 1900′s.
Despite loving her daughter, Susie’s mother felt a lingering, subconscious disappointment over the fact that her dreams of the limelight were not given a “proper chance” due to how her life had turned out. Years passed and after taking note of her child’s talent and potential, Susie’s mother began to project her failed dreams onto Susie.
Taking after her mother, Susie had the gift of song as well as acting and enjoyed both just as much. However, her mother’s constant demands of practice, increasingly heightened expectations and following disappointment made for a good foe against the joy she felt on the stage. Eventually, it wore Susie down as she hit adolescence, ultimately causing a rather large insecurity complex and growing obsession with perfectionism. This carried into her young adult years and career life, which led her to Joey Drew Studios. Even after.
Don’t let the extroverted persona fool you; charming smiles make for good masks that conceal cracked convenience underneath.

why do you always muff it up when mister drew's around, miss campbell?
Susie’s hand was truly caught in the cookie jar this time. Even as the canary kept busy in the form of reorganizing today’s script an’ to do’s, she could feel the suspicious gaze of her coworker linger and bore into her like blazing stage lights. With a sole denial and one crack at playing dumb having failed, it was becoming quite the struggle to suppress the playful grin tugging at the corners of mulberry mantled lips that accompanied the truth. Had the motive behind her recent, intentional hiccups in the recording booth around Joey been that transparent? Was the studio’s angel becoming that predictable when fluttering wings grew clumsy around no one other than the devil himself?
“ Maybe I just like practicing with him. “
A spark in emerald eyes suggest more to the story, but as Susie tucks the thick script against her chest with the turn of a heel and offered her companion a coy grin, anyone can see that she wasn’t about to continue the tale.
No Candle No Light
Susie and Norman, canonly, were close friends.
This isn’t even fanon or a theory, it’s legit canon. If you’re like me and you look into a character’s tone, then you may have also suspected it before. After buying my copy of BATIM: DCTL, it was confirmed in my opinion.
So, I bought Dreams Come to Life today and there are a few little facts that I found interesting??
1. Sammy’s human stature is described as angular, pointy and birdlike.
2. Allison is platinum-blonde and her looks remind Buddy of Ginger Rogers.
3. When a soul-transfer occurs via the ink ritual, the human bodies of those killed/sacrificed are left behind. So after your human self dies, your soul transitions from the ink into the new ink body. Your former body, now an empty shell, remains.
4. Bertrum is decribed as “burly and bearlike”. I know, it surprised me too.
5. Tom is taller than Joey and Buddy describes him like a “strong wall” whose arms even fill out his sleeves well.
6. Susie, at least to Allison and Tom, is seen as a sad topic.
Unfinished bitch.

headcanon questionnaire: susie campbell.
— BASICS.
▸ IS YOUR MUSE TALL / SHORT / AVERAGE ?
average. although she runs on the shorter end of the average-height spectrum.
▸ ARE THEY OKAY WITH THEIR HEIGHT ?
definitely. not overly short, yet not nearly too tall. perfect for high heels.
▸ WHAT’S THEIR HAIR LIKE ?
black, wavy, medium length – unless caught in some storm outside, her hair is always styled and ends around shoulder-length, give or take a couple inches.
▸ DO THEY SPEND A LOT OF TIME ON THEIR HAIR / GROOMING ?
yes. my god, yes. however; unlike what her coworkers may believe, this habit does not stem from vanity. underneath the charm and confidence her acting abilities have allowed her to easily project, lies deep-rooted insecurities. although many factors contribute to this fact, her appearance is one of them. susie will usually wake up early each morning just to be sure she looks her best.
▸ DOES YOUR MUSE CARE ABOUT THEIR APPEARANCE / WHAT OTHERS THINK ?
again, yes. for the same reason listed above. susie has struggled with insecurities since childhood despite her striking features. she is also big on impressions and dressing for occasions, so she is always styled accordingly and will think sour of someone for not doing the same. if someone were to, for an example, dress sloppy at work? judged.
— PREFERENCES.
▸ INDOORS OR OUTDOORS ?
indoors. although a walk around the city occasionally never hurt. she does enjoy snow, though.
▸ RAIN OR SUNSHINE ?
sunshine. rain can be awful messy.
▸ FOREST OR BEACH ?
beach. she’s a “sunbathing, sunglasses and floppy sun-hat wearing under a large beach umbrella” kind of gal.
▸ PRECIOUS METALS OR GEMS ?
gems. diamonds are a girl’s best friend, are they not? fun fact: susie’s favorite gem is a ruby.
▸ FLOWERS OR PERFUMES ?
flowers, although she is one to wear perfume. it’s just that flowers typically are given by someone else, so there is sentiment behind them.
▸ PERSONALITY OR APPEARANCE ?
appearance. at least, regarding herself. when it comes to others and the company she keeps? personality is what matters to her.
▸ BEING ALONE OR BEING IN A CROWD ?
both. when it comes to her role and career as an singer/voice actress, naturally she prefers to address a crowd. susie has no issue talking to the press or greeting fans -- she puts her heart into Alice Angel and wants nothing more than for the people to love the character as much as she does. susie also adores her job, so she will socialize with coworkers often to be sure everything on her end is done fluidly and correctly the first time. sharing her passions and relating to certain people may encourage her to go out of her way to talk to them occasionally, however; once she is off the clock and home, susie is always alone.
▸ ORDER OR ANARCHY ?
order, preferably. but she causes anarchy at times.
▸ PAINFUL TRUTHS OR WHITE LIES ?
painful truths. as pretty as white lies can make her feel, susie would rather be hit with the painful truth. she values honesty and being upfront; this prevents both parties from wasting another’s time and doesn’t keep her blissfully unaware of some secret, which in turn makes her feel like a fool once the truth is revealed. “alice, though? ohh, she doesn’t like liars.”
▸ SCIENCE OR MAGIC ?
magic. "dreams come true, susie. dreams come true.”
▸ PEACE OR CONFLICT ?
conflict. as much as she wishes and likes things to run/resolve smoothly, her fiery temper can often cause escalation and conflict arises if she feels wronged.
▸ NIGHT OR DAY ?
day. it’s during daylight that she is able to do what she loves and inch herself closer to accomplishing her aspirations.
▸ DUSK OR DAWN ?
dawn. see above. susie is that gal to get up super early not only to start her long, morning routine -- but simply out of excitement to get to work.
▸ WARMTH OR COLD ?
warmth. although later in “life”, she gets used to the cold.
▸ MANY ACQUAINTANCES OR A FEW CLOSE FRIENDS ?
many acquaintances. although not particularly healthy, susie would prefer to have many acquaintances all held at arm’s length. although fairly easy to get along with and not one to necessarily look to start trouble (unless particularly spiteful due to an event), it’s susie’s inability to completely trust other people that keeps her from opening up. it takes a special type of person to earn and maintain her trust.
▸ READING OR PLAYING A GAME ?
reading. scripts, headliners, music sheets - oh my!
— QUESTIONNAIRE.
▸ WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR MUSE’S BAD HABITS ?
pettiness, primarily. susie campbell may have an outstanding work ethic, a passion for her dreams that rivals joey drew’s himself, and an enthusiastic determination that sets the bar - but she is the definition of “hell hath no fury like a woman scorned”. get on her bad side and it will be nothing but dagger-like glances, spiteful sabotage, backhanded remarks, and a redirected determination to see that person wriggle like a worm on a hook until they bleed out.
▸ HAS YOUR MUSE LOST ANYONE CLOSE TO THEM ? HOW HAS IT AFFECTED THEM ?
this answer is rather timeline dependent. while alive, susie was not terribly close to her family. her own birth hadn’t been planned and she was born rather late in her parents lives; her own always felt overshadowed by her overachieving, elder sister. susie keeps in contact with her mother via letters, but only updates the family when there is good news to boast about. in a way, losing her studio family was susie’s biggest loss. she lost not only coworkers, but the closest she’d allowed herself to friends in the longest time. she lost her dream and she lost love. mix that level of heartbreak with surfacing desperation, and then a failed ritual to become the one thing you feel your truest self being, and it would cause anyone to slowly lose it.
▸ WHAT ARE SOME FOND MEMORIES YOUR MUSE HAS ?
her life at joey drew studios. up until the afternoon where she had walked in on allison pendle in her recording booth, the time spent at joey drew studios were the best years of susie’s life. she felt as if she had it all: a dream role where she genuinely related to the character and cared about its workings, a stable job where she was valued and treated more than fairly, a position in a booming company that would one day elevate her name in lights, she had coworkers she got along and could finally laugh with, an unexpected love she found more than charming - everything she had worked towards and that you could write home about.
▸ IS IT EASY FOR YOUR MUSE TO KILL ?
oh yeah. easily. at least, when she has become “malice” angel post-sacrifice. when alive, the concept of committing murder never crossed susie’s mind, despite her high level of pettiness when scorned. however; once the ritual is performed and is confirmed a failure, malice’s mental spiral downward eventually creates a monster that finds disemboweling fellow ink beings for personal gain as nonchalant an action as drinking morning coffee.
▸ WHAT’S IT LIKE WHEN YOUR MUSE BREAKS DOWN ?
a solitary affair. a private struggle carried out behind locked dressing room doors and drawn blinds. her inability to fully open up to other people results in any battles lost within the confides of mock confidence in her head being dealt with alone. typically taking place in her apartment, often triggered by her own reflection or paranoia having built up after a rather rough week, clothes from susie’s closet may end up thrown on the floor as well as her elongated mirror covered or possibly broken - depending on the degree of the breakdown.
▸ IS YOUR MUSE CAPABLE OF TRUSTING SOMEONE WITH THEIR LIFE ?
no, not until it was her life and soul susie was handing over to joey willingly in order to become the living Alice Angel. up until then, her trust was scarcely handed out.
▸ WHAT’S YOUR MUSE LIKE WHEN THEY’RE IN LOVE ? attentive and passionate, susie is a soulmate before all else. while she enjoys the flirts and compliments of suitors like the next gal, it takes a very someone special to tear down the nailed planks around her heart and encourage her to give it away. once in love; however, susie is completely and utterly loyal. to be at the point where love is involved, she would already have a tight grasp and understanding of the man in question. his change of mood and when something is upsetting him wouldn’t be concealed from susie easily and her attentive nature would hone in on attempting to correct the situation for his sake. because she does not let people in easily and finally doing so meaning she’d have bonded with the individual, there would also always be an underlining fear that she would lose said love. on a more surface level, though, susie is also very passionate. considered a modern woman for the time period, she will not hesitate to initiate a kiss or more once in a relationship with someone she truly loves. looking at you, @drewgod ‘s joey drew.
