"Cringe" Fandoms that are don't deserve it

<b>Sonic</b>

Most people think of Sonic OCs when they think of DeviantArt. Sure, there’s a lot of young fans with a lot of characters, but let them have fun! They’re doing nothing wrong, and they don’t seem to bother anyone else about it.

<b>FNaF</b>

The Five Nights at Freddy’s fandom isn’t bad at all! Although it has OCs too, the art is fantastic and it shouldn’t be shunned. Plus, I’ve looked through the Tumblr tags and this fandom is friendly.

<b>Undertale and BATIM</b>

People who like to torment kids shame them for liking these games. Just, don’t.

I know this isn’t a normal post from me, but just don’t shame these fandoms for liking what they like. They aren’t hurting anybody, so just leave them alone, alright? It’s bad enough that teens and grown adults think that shaming kids as part of their “dank” memes (which aren’t funny, by the way) is cool.

Based on a speculation by @prodcharles, I believe that there is a Sheep character for Bendy and the ink machine.

So this is just a draft of her.

This is gorgeous!

Who Blocked the Ink Machine Room in Bendy and the Ink Machine?

[prodcharles]

Was Boris REALLY Revived?

The return of Boris the Wolf has been one of the most exciting moments in Bendy and the Ink Machine. However, is Boris' return as obvious as it seems? Let's find out!

The Truth Behind Boris the Wolf

Boris first appears to us as a lifeless corpse in the starting level of BATIM. As we fix the ink machine, we find that there are messages that paint a grim picture of Boris' fate. One of the more common perceptions is that Boris was killed and experimented on by Joey Drew. Fans everywhere wanted to know what happened to poor Boris. How did this beloved cartoon character get into this predicament? Then Chapter 2 came and changed the game completely. Finishing Chapter 2 results in Boris appearing from behind a wall to leave the story at a cliffhanger. Just as strongly as when seeing Boris dead, fans wanted to know how Boris was revived! There have been many theories made on this, including my own which depend on the rituals being based on each worker's passion and connection to the toons. This theory suggests that the workers were transformed into the cartoon they had the strongest bond with, and further predicts that there could be more than 3 cartoons roaming Joey Drew's Studio.

If the worker transformation theory were to be true, Boris may have been revived by Bendy when Sammy attempted to sacrifice Henry, suggesting that Sammy could be Boris. However, what if the worker tranformation theory doesn't hold? There is a chance that fixing the ink machine restored Boris' life force, but it's rather slim. Boris was definitely missing key internal organs such as a heart and lungs (we could see into Boris chest, which had been split open). Unless the ink did have some kind of magical quality which reformed these organs, it would be difficult for Boris to move from the table without recieving a constant ink flow.

So, what could it be? Let's draw our attention to the S3 Vault, the room that Henry enters to conclude Chapter 2: the room is filled with barrels and Bendy dolls, and contains a symbol resembling the doll symbol above the pedestal in the Break Room. This area seems to be an area for storing Bendy-themed merchandise to be shipped away to stores. There is even a lift that allows for easy transport of merchandise to the upper floors for shipping.

Hence, this could be the reason why we see Boris, alive and well. Bendy does not seem to be friendly towards any human or humanlike character, however, he may still have a soft spot for the 3D cartoons. It would then make sense that the Boris we see is a worker in a suit. The suit would be one stored in the merchanising area, and would be used by one of the workers to move around the studio without falling victim to Bendy's tyranny. Who could be in the suit? Assumedly, someone cowardly, as we've seen in the Boris teaser image by theMeatly Games. Who would have such a nature from the audio recordings we've heard so far? Perhaps the only character to express fear and submissiveness of others - the only one who claims that they'd be "Outta Here!" That's right - the one in the Boris the Wolf suit would be none other than... Wally Franks. What do you think?

Bendy and the Ink Machine Chapter 3 Teaser ANALYZED!

theMeatly recently dropped a new teaser for Bendy and the Ink Machine, and it’s led to the Bendy community scratching their heads. What does this mean, and how can we explain it? Let’s find out!

What can we expect from Chapter 3?

We know for sure that we can expect more combat. theMeatly Games has previously announced that there will be more weapons, and the teaser image features what looks to be Ink Bendy in the center. We know that this is Ink Bendy as the body of the shadow seems to match, and it’s possible to see what looks like Ink Bendy’s bow tie sticking out from the shoulder. The head of the shadow also has horns.

We should also look at the messages that theMeatly has left for us with the teaser image:

“He’s Watching You.”

He, who?

The teaser strongly suggests that this is Bendy, and might indicate that Bendy may be a monster which will stick around and pursue us in the next chapter (think the servants from Amnesia). As we will have more ways to defend ourselves, this makes sense. However, “He” could also refer to Joey Drew, and unless the worker transformation theory is true, Joey may be watching Henry being chased by Bendy. In fact, Joey might have been watching everything Henry has done so far since he entered the studio. After all, it was he who invited Joey to the studio, right?

Will Boris Help Us in Chapter 3?

Is Boris the Wolf Going to be Friendly?

The Chapter 2 cliffhanger drove Bendy fans completely mad. Not only is Boris back all of a sudden, but Boris may also have a role in helping us?

Most Believe that Boris will Help Henry

There are three possible situations that could arise from Boris’ return:

Boris will help Henry

Boris will turn against Henry

Boris will be a neutral party

It appears that many Bendy fans believe that Boris will help Henry over the other options. If this were to happen, I think it would add more fun to the gameplay of the next chapter, but it would be at the expense of suspense. Suddenly, the claustrophobic feel of Joey Drew’s cartoon studio would be eliminated by having Boris by our side. However, puzzle solving would become more interesting and fun with Boris to use as one of the elements.

Many point to theMeatly’s tweet about Wolves and Sheep getting along as proof that Boris will turn against Henry. This is because Henry is often referred to as a sheep in Chapter 2 by Sammy Lawrence. If Boris turns against Henry, I believe that it would increase the intensity of the BATIM. Being a horror game, this would be appropriate, and it would add some complexity to the story. Suddenly, we will have to figure out what Boris’ motive is and see what we could do to stop him. “theMeatly” has said that there will be new weapons in the future, so there might even be combat involving Boris.

The case of Boris being neutral is certainly an interesting one. Some have suggested that Boris may come across as friendly at first, but end up betraying Henry so that he doesn’t get on Bendy’s bad side. Others propose that he will act as Bendy’s spy the whole time and lead Henry to be offered once again. These are interesting cases, but I don’t see Boris being on Bendy’s side quite yet, as he may have assisted Bendy in capturing Henry when he locked the door leading to the vault.

What do you think?

He’s beauty he’s grace he’ll scream in your face Based off @prodcharles quote “Bendy looks like he wants to scream at us in each chapter”

It’s true, though. A fantastic depiction!

Tattletail Conspiracy Theory: Why Doesn’t Mom Answer the Door?

Why Doesn’t Mom Wake Up? The Answer is Not Drugs

One of the biggest mysteries behind Tattletail surrounds the player’s mother not leaving her room, even if we knock on her door. What could she possibly be doing in there, and is she even in there in the first place? Let’s find out - I promise the answer does not have to do with drugs!

Mom is Just Super Tired

Or is she? Looking at the fact that she is a single mother during Christmas time who could be mourning the loss of the child’s father, this is not too far fetched. Even so, wouldn’t all the ruckus happening in the house alert her and get her to wake up anc come and chase us? Is Mom even in the room?

If you look into the house through her window at just the right angle, you will be able to see that the room is empty. Some Tattletail players have even gone so far as to open the door with developer console exploits to hack their way in, again to find nothing. Doesn’t this throw the whole concept of the mother being there out the window?

Not really. Remember that Tattletail is a horror game, and if the developers intended for us to experience the illusion of a mother being there, waiting for us to make too much noise so that she can trigger a game over is something that would cross many players minds. In the secret ending, it is obvious that the developers had intended for there to be a mother, but for us to never see her, so it makes sense that they wouldn’t expend precious computer resources to render a 3D model that we would never interact with.

INSANE New Tattletail Secrets!

New VHS Scenes and Website Source Code Secrets!

The VHS is actually a password activated system that unlocks three secret scenes! These scenes take you to a room filled with Mamas, a control room, and a scene with a wall with the phrase “04 Prototype ->” painted on it. The website has also revealed some really nifty secrets!

Waygetter Electronics Website Secrets

Looking at the source code, the line “<p>The creators of <!--the popular Mama Tattletail™ and -->Baby Talking Tattletail™</p>“ can be read. The tags in that sentence hide the words “the popular Mama Tattletail™ and“ which means that Waygetter had intended the sentence to say “The creators of the popular Mama Tattletail™ and Baby Talking Tattletail™”

This is huge, because the website states that it is new and was updated on 10 October 1998. This means that we now know when Waygetter Electronics banned Mama from being sold.

The Other Baby Tattletails

The website also provides information on a white and a black baby Tattletail. These are said to be new additions, and judging from the date that the website was updated, was probably present around Christmas of 1998.

This means that there are more Tattletails, and possibly more to the story than we have been thinking all along.

Has Waygetter been designing prototype Tattlatails for a purpose other than being a children’s toy? If so, what were their purposes, and how does this fit in with our other Tattletail theories?

Many suspect that this is all pointing towards a follow-up game. What do you think?

Tattletail Mama Theory

Why Mama Wants You Dead in Tattletail

Mama acts as a very hostile enemy and boss character in Tattletail, but why? The player does nothing to her in the beginning of the game. In fact, you could say that the player helped her by supplying her with an audio cassette tape. Let’s answer this question by looking at the facts.

What We Definitely Know About the Game:

Mama’s purpose is to catch all of her babies (casette tape)

The Baby Tattletails hate her (they chant “No More Mama!” and play hide and seek to avoid her)

Mama doesn’t mind if one of her babies are alone (she is frequently docile when the Tattletails are in a box or wait for you to pick them up)

She killed someone from Waygetter (Waygetter Commercial shows a struggling man dying on set)

All Tattletails are hand made (Good Ending Reward Tag has this written on it)

They all also have some kind of awareness of their existence. (They move around and congregate with each other.)

The Answer Lies in Her Being Banished

Still with us? Now that you have all of the facts, lets apply it to what happened!

Mama had to have had some of curse casted on her. As all of the Tattletails are hand made, there must have been some kind of supernatural influence during their line of production. This is evidenced by the odd awareness of their own existence and ties to supernatural activities (the Mama banishing ceremony is a HUGE example).

While her purpose is to protect and collect the Tattletails, she shows way too much aggression for her goals. It may be for this reason that she starts to attack the player after taking her babies!

New Tattletail Update - ”The Gift”

New Tattletail Secret Ending in Latest Update

The newest Tattletail update has unlocked 2 new rewards for die-hard fans of the game. This includes a special phone call and getting your real present from Mom on Christmas.

New Phone Call

At the beginning of the game, the player is instructed to not answer the phone. In the previous version, doing this for all nights did not lead to any special rewards. However, not answering the phone until Christmas Eve will allow you to hear a special message from a Tattletail Sales Rep.

The New Ending

The previous version of the game had a rather confusing ending where the player would be jumpscared by Mama after opening an empty gift box on Christmas day. Now, after collecting all of the eggs and not answering the phone, you will not only have a fresh Tattletail waiting for you, it will also give you a present of its own! The present is a product tag, which shows its affection, and a Waygetter Golden Flashlight. You will also be able to be reunited with your Mom! Yes, your real Mom!

These updates are definitely a welcome edition to our favourite game about demonic furbies. I am so in love with how cute the new ending is. What do you think?

[prodcharles]

Seriously, though, who thought it was a good idea to buy evil Furbies for Christmas? I personally think that they are quite cute, though. What do you think of Tattletails?
