Something inky this way comes! The Ink Demonth emerges once again!
The Ink DemonthĀ is a 31-day event dedicated to the gameĀ Bendy and the Ink Machine (and other games associated with the Bendy universe). Itās based on daily themes. As long as your creation involves elements from the game along any interpretation of the respective dayās theme ā it counts!
You donāt have to create something for each day, make as many as youād 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 doesnāt have to be Tumblr, just a site thatās publically accessible!).
You will also be able to choose an artist youād 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 donāt care about the artstyle of your gift).
Here is the link to the form (itās going to be opened near the end of August, itās currently closed, Iām just already putting the link here, so itās going to be easier to find when the time comes!):

Tag your creations withĀ #The Ink DemonthĀ andĀ #Bendy and the Ink Machine. Itās important if you want to have your entry reblogged by me, which Iām going to do to everything Iāll see in this tag. (So donāt @ me, just tag it with the eventās tag and the gameās name. Itās possible that your post may not show up in the tags, if you notice that Iām 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 isnāt clogged with WIPs!
You can create whatever youād like!Ā 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 dayās theme!
(Donāt try to ācheat the systemā, though ā donāt submit a, letās 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 donāt create 31 things, the gift will not be granted to you.)
The event starts on the 1st of August and ends on the 31st.Ā Although, donāt worry if youāre too busy in August, late entries are always welcome! (ā¦for reblogging, as for drawing gifts Iām going to give all of you an extra month, so if youāre aiming for that, the end of September is your deadline ā itās because Iām going to have school.) Iām also giving all of you a heads up in case you want to take an extra month of preparing! This year July isnāt the main month because of the situation in the world but also I figured that since August is the month on Joeyās calendar in his apartment and August is the month during which BatIM takes place, it should be the one instead! Please, donāt start posting your entries before the 1st of August, as Iām not going to start reblogging anything until the event starts. You can, of course do it, this is just an advice so it doesnāt get lost.
During August Iām going to makeĀ daily remindersĀ about each theme. Thatās going to also include a list of possbile triggers a theme could cause. But aside from that, please, make sure to tagĀ appropriate trigger warnings!
Thank you for taking your time to read this. Reblogs are appreciated in order to get the word out.
Have fun everyone! šš¤
