Something inky this way comes! The Ink Demonth emerges once again!
The Ink Demonth is a 31-day event dedicated to the game Bendy and the Ink Machine (and other games associated with the Bendy universe). It’s based on daily themes. As long as your creation involves elements from the game along any interpretation of the respective day’s theme – it counts!
You don’t have to create something for each day, make as many as you’d like. However, if you manage to do all 31 of them, you can submit a form to receive a little gift (drawing request)! In the form you will have to provide a link to each of your posted event submissions (it doesn’t have to be Tumblr, just a site that’s publically accessible!).
You will also be able to choose an artist you’d prefer to make the gift for you, you will be able to choose between me and my two talented friends @rinkopatateneko and @fullmoondaggers-art / @ask-the-hellion-studio (you can pick more than one option, even all of us if you don’t care about the artstyle of your gift).
Here is the link to the form (it’s going to be opened near the end of August, it’s currently closed, I’m just already putting the link here, so it’s going to be easier to find when the time comes!):

Tag your creations with #The Ink Demonth and #Bendy and the Ink Machine. It’s important if you want to have your entry reblogged by me, which I’m going to do to everything I’ll see in this tag. (So don’t @ me, just tag it with the event’s tag and the game’s name. It’s possible that your post may not show up in the tags, if you notice that I’m not reblogging your entries for a longer while, feel free to DM them directly to me on Tumblr. My focus will be mainly on Tumblr, I may interact with posts on other sites but it is going to be with whatever I run into, as this event is Tumblr-focused. Feel free to post on other sites too, though!)
(And, though I think it goes without saying, if I notice a post containing something I consider harmful content, I will not reblog it and will warn the creator of such content that, depending on the case, they cannot continue to take part in the event with content like this or perhaps even not at all.)
Remember to tag only the finished entries, so the tag isn’t clogged with WIPs!
You can create whatever you’d like! Draw a picture! Write a fic! Do a video edit! Take a cosplay photo! Anything you can come up with that is a creative interpretation of that day’s theme!
(Don’t try to „cheat the system”, though – don’t submit a, let’s say, straight line for each day, I will notice this kind of spam and remember: spamming is a terrible sin. You can make an entry that covers a few themes but as long as you don’t create 31 things, the gift will not be granted to you.)
The event starts on the 1st of August and ends on the 31st. Although, don’t worry if you’re too busy in August, late entries are always welcome! (…for reblogging, as for drawing gifts I’m going to give all of you an extra month, so if you’re aiming for that, the end of September is your deadline – it’s because I’m going to have school.) I’m also giving all of you a heads up in case you want to take an extra month of preparing! This year July isn’t the main month because of the situation in the world but also I figured that since August is the month on Joey’s calendar in his apartment and August is the month during which BatIM takes place, it should be the one instead! Please, don’t start posting your entries before the 1st of August, as I’m not going to start reblogging anything until the event starts. You can, of course do it, this is just an advice so it doesn’t get lost.
During August I’m going to make daily reminders about each theme. That’s going to also include a list of possbile triggers a theme could cause. But aside from that, please, make sure to tag appropriate trigger warnings!
Here you can view the text version of the full month with some alternate themes.
