Born From the Same Ink (Siblinks) Masterpost

Yanno, I've made enough content about Audrey and the Ink Demon being siblings that I decided it might be good to put everything in the same place. Might even call it something official like the "siblinks au" if that's not already taken lol

AO3 link: Read the full fanfic here

Bendy Bites: Also known as the random tidbits about the siblinks that I either can't figure out how to fit into the fic or am too impatient to wait to share. Also includes some fluffy headcanons I have for the siblinks that might not even be story related. Can also be found using the "Bendy Bites" tag.

Ink Demon carrying Audrey

Snack (a slightly different version of this is in the fic now)

Feral Audrey

Kitty (post-escape, Audrey and Bendy adopt a cat)

Sign language

Ghost in the apartment (Since writing this, I've had some new headcanons that changed Audrey's living situation but will keep those to myself unless/until they become relevant)

Unintended consequences

Hunting (how the Ink Demon deals with his bloodlust/kill drive in the real world)

Healing Kisses

Asks: I'm not putting every Bendy related ask here (even though I love them all), just ones that I ended up elaborating on and sharing possible story ideas in the process of answering them. You can see all of them by searching the tag, "answered ask" or "ask" on my blog.

Barrel scene (Bendy getting mad because he figured out Audrey hid from him in a barrel and he still couldn't find her)

Height differences and the resulting sibling shenanigans

Krampus Ink Demon

Slicer/Carly (thoughts on how Bendy would deal with her since I left her out of the fic)

Sammy's reaction Audrey and Bendy's bond

Sammy's and Bendy's reaction to Audrey changing the cycle with The Illusion of Living

What if Audrey was taken by the Keepers instead of Bendy? Also, Bendy's reaction to Malice taking Audrey from the manor

What if. . . Wilson succeeded and made Audrey into his "perfect creation"?

What would happen if Gent found Bendy and Audrey if the real world?

First Aid (Bendy's reaction to injuries in the real world vs the ink world)

Audrey smells like the Ink Demon

Audrey's "sisters" (elaborating on Joey's previous attempts to making Audrey)

Copycat ask (eheheh puns, ask based on the Kitty and Unintended consequences Bendy bites)

Can Audrey sense when Bendy's nearby? (based on events in chapter 16)

Miscellaneous:

Halloween with the siblinks

Sammy vent post (the man made me rewrite a whole chapter and section of my outline)

The Ink Demon wiping his tears with Audrey (I didn't write anything on this but thought it was funny)

Scene description: Audrey sketching with the Ink Demon

Fanart: (also known as the best section) I think I tagged everything under "batdr fanart" if you'd rather use that to peruse all the amazing art people have made of my fic. Huge thanks to @tiredtrashpandaart, @mulligansstuff, @magicicephoenix, and @akiraidraws for their wonderful, wonderful art!

Audrey and Bendy meeting and holding hands for the first time

Sammy arguing with Audrey

Audrey sketching with the Ink Demon by Mulligan

Audrey sketching with the Ink Demon by Akirai (scroll down to see the art, it was added as a reblog)

I'm not adding the sneak peeks or chapter announcements cuz all that can be enjoyed just by reading the fic itself (unless someone REALLY wants me to add them, in that case I guess I can add them on here later).

Lemme know if I missed anything or if any of the links are broken and, seriously, thank you so much for enjoying this story with me. It means the world that so many of you lovely people enjoy reading my work. Thanks for everything!!!! 🤍🖤🤍

Aftermath of the Batter choosing to abandon his kingdom (and his wife and son-yikes-but at least they don’t get purified) to run away with the hot merchant who reads him better than anyone else he’s ever encountered. They’re camping.

Kinda sorta fanfiction of “The King in White” by artisticNutcase and also kinda sorta its own thing.

For all y’all who are waiting for me to update my many, many other wips….

I did a thing

[starryredpandawrites]

hello, I was read your BATDR story “Born of the Same Ink” and I really enjoy it but I wondering if you are going to continue to or is it discontinued

Thank you! It's not discontinued, I'm just a very slow writer in an ongoing battle against perfectionism and work/life balance 🫠

I love this story (and all my stories) and I have no intention of ever discontinuing it :)

[starryredpanda]

Hey y’all, I can’t believe it’s almost been an entire year since my last Born From the Same Ink update T_T . My heart really wants to update before the end of this month but…we’ll see what happens. 

Anyways, this lovely and hilarious post from @theshawssperrs sparked a massive conversation between myself and KnittedDemonSpawn about Bendy’s/the Ink Demon’s mathematical capabilities back in April/during the US tax season. It inspired the following scene and other ideas that I’m hoping I get the chance/courage to post about soon (including a scene of Audrey and Baby Benders doing taxes together that I want to write into a full one-shot but I’ll probably just end up posting as a Bendy Bite or smg, idk). 

Until then, enjoy this short drabble based on my fic:

For whatever reason, Audrey and the Ink Demon are scouting the studio. Since their minds are linked/they can share information with each other really easily, they separate to cover more ground. 

Inky (in sneak mode) runs across a big group of Keepers and reports that back to Audrey. She asks him how many there are, and he says something cryptic like, “Alone, you would perish and I would have some difficulty defeating them, but together, they would be no match for us/our combined power.”

Audrey: Okay, but how many does that mean? Can you give me a number?

Inky: *After a too long pause* Why does it matter if I could defeat them myself?

Audrey: But like, are there 5? 10? 50? You said you would have “some difficulty” defeating them, how many does that mean?

They go back and forth with his answers getting more and more cryptic and her questions getting more and more blunt until Audrey starts to figure something out:

Audrey, in a very soft/sympathetic tone: Bendy, do you have trouble counting/doing math?

Inky:.......

After a VERY long silence in which Audrey starts to get concerned, the Ink Demon finally responds.

Inky: It doesn’t matter anymore, they’re all dead. 

Long story short, just because the Ink Demon talks like he ate a dictionary doesn’t guarantee that he can do math, and considering his background, I very much doubt his ability to do much more than count on his fingers lol. Whether or not he can read is also up for debate, and I have a headcanon about that too that I might elaborate on in another post.

As a result, I've decided that my version of the Ink Demon is very embarrassed about his math skills (or lack thereof) and would rather solo a room of 15+ Keepers than admit he doesn’t know how to answer Audrey’s question.

It’s hot as hell and Okarun’s yokai form runs cold. Momo & Okarun cuddle and play with each other’s hair. Indulgent and fluffy as fuck.

“What’s wrong, Momo?” Yokarun questioned through a layer of closed teeth. Despite being confronted once again by the image of himself in the mirror in front of him, he took no notice of his appearance, instead lazily glancing around the room and hallway in search of whatever threat prompted his friend’s request. 

“Nothing, except for this damn heat! Now get over here.” She impatiently waved him over, the magazines over her head mimicking the motion.

Confused, he tilted his head to the side, but took a meandering step toward her bed. “Why?” 

“Are you still burning up?“

Pausing his next step, Yokarun considered her question. 

“Woah, not anymore,” he commented with mild approval. If anything, he felt a little on the chill side. For a moment, the discovery relieved him from his yokai form’s depressive state. Then, he took in Momo’s overheated appearance and wilted. “But, yo, kind of a buzzkill that doesn’t help you out, babe.”

“Oh, but it will!” The girl struck a proud pose, holding her chin with a triumphant smile, the effect only slightly ruined by the sweat dripping down her face. “I’ve noticed you get unnaturally cold when you use your powers, you know, from all the times you’ve carried or touched me while transformed. Now the heat won’t bother you and I can use you as an icepack so the heat won’t bother me either!” 

With that, Momo eagerly scooted over on her bed and patted the space next to her. “You can just lie down and wrap your arms around me to make it easy.”

Yokarun managed exactly one more meandering step forward before he processed exactly what she was asking and what it entailed. The shock was so great he switched back to his human self. He sprang away from the girl in embarrassed terror, his back slamming into the wall outside her room so hard the entire house quaked in the aftershock. 

“You mean you want to cuddle?!” he screeched.

[starryredpanda]

Momokarun one-shot sneak peek

Heyyyyyy I know I have SO MANY wips right now and I haven't updated any of them in ages but uhhhhhhhh I wrote this in January and just decided to post the rest of it tomorrow 😬

The air was on fire. Not really, but that’s what it felt like to Momo and Okarun. It was summer, and they were hanging out in her room (an event happening with increasing frequency in the Ayase household). A yokai clash ended with a power outage in their area. No power meant no A/C, and no A/C on the hottest day of the year meant what was supposed to be a fun afternoon studying the occult had turned into a competition of who could sweat the least.

Thanks to the floating army of alien- and spirit-related magazines fanning Momo’s body, she was winning.

“Do you think aliens get heatstroke?” the psychic questioned breathlessly. Dressed in shorts and a crop top, her arms and legs dangled over the sides of her bed to maximize the amount of her body’s surface area that the magazines could reach.

She thought she heard a grunt from Okarun, but wasn’t sure due to the distance between them and the sound of flapping paper.

Normally, they would be sitting next to each other on her bed with both too little and too much space between them as they studied the paranormal. Today was different. Today, they were on opposite sides of the room, as if any amount of shared body heat would result in spontaneous combustion.

She glanced over to her friend, who was lying on his back and fanning himself with one sad little magazine of his own while melting into her pink carpet. Correction: only about half of him was melting into her carpet. His head and torso rested in her room, while his bare legs rested on the relatively chill wood of the hallway floor.

Feeling generous, Momo used one of her psychic hands to redirect half of her magazines to him and repeated the question. This time Okarun answered, although it was a far cry from the usual theory-rich rants a question like that would normally trigger.

“Thank you, Miss Ayase,” he panted, taking a break from fanning himself so he could bask in the glorious breeze her magazines generated. “And I don’t know, it probably depends on the species.”

“What about yokai?”

Okarun made a questioning sound. Before responding, Momo turned over so the paper-generated wind could cool her back. A clump of hair fell over her face. She tried to blow it away, only to discover her sweat had already plastered it to her forehead. Scrunching her face in disgust, she used her fingers to push it back into her hairline as she continued, desperate for conversation since reading proved to be too much effort. “Remember that bound spirit that fused with Granny? The giant crab with faces?”

“How could I forget,” the boy whined, covering his hands with his face and grinding the heels of his palms into his eyes. “I can’t believe you can still eat crab after all that happened. Just the smell of it makes me sick.”

“Oh shut up, food is food. Anyway, the spirit got cooked by the hot spring water, right? And you were forced to change after landing in the baths, too. So does that mean that all yokai are vulnerable to heat?”

“Maybe.” Okarun sighed, adjusted his glasses, and resumed his fanning. “But I think it’s more likely that happened due to the spirit’s type. And I don’t think it was the heat that changed me; I was already low-stamina when we crashed there. I only noticed the water was hot after I was back to my regular self. I could be wrong though, it’s hard to remember considering everything else that was going on.”

An ice bath would be really nice right now, the young man thought to himself wistfully. That gave him an idea. With his back still on the floor, Okarun tilted his head so he could see his friend. In his upside-down vision, she appeared thoughtful. “You and your grandma don’t have any icepacks stored around here do you?”

Suddenly, Momo’s arm shot up, her body following it to a sitting position as she pointed an intimidating finger at Okarun. “YOU!”

Thanks for reading!

Hoping to watch at least some of the second season sometime this weekend if I get the time. We shall see...

[starryredpandawrites]

Probably a little late so say but hey, happy holidays and happy new years! Hope this year will be a great one!

- Knitted demon spawn

Holy shit it has been a while since I went through my inbox huh

Happy New Years!!! 🤣😭🤣

[starryredpandawrites]

Remembering my headcanon/theory that the Ink Demon is blind as a bat/visually impaired to some extent, (another part is he uses a form of echolocation or mapping ei; the ink effects that cover a radius around himself, like in BaTDS) I just imagine Audrey using his senses for a change and just being like ??? I can't see shit?

Separate, I also imagine Audrey being knocked off her feet when first exposed to his heightened senses. "I can hear Henry drawing? And Sammy bitching about me? At the same time? I think someone just opened a can of bacon soup-" Ooh, would she also be able to see through his cutouts?

I could type a mile long ask about funky little ideas and questions dug out of my mush brain. Sorry, I never shut up if the topic is Bendy. Or Transformers-

I like the way your mind works [insert obligatory apology for taking ages to answer this]

I LOVE the idea of Bendy using sound/echolocation to navigate the world and I especially love the idea of Audrey listening in and getting super disoriented by the way our inky boi perceives the world

I like the idea of her being able to see through cutouts but I think she would only be able to access that part of the ink demons abilities if he was there to help guide/direct her. Like, she starts using his vision and then he starts looking through cutouts and shes kinda piggybacking off of that.

[starryredpandawrites]

Brains been just fuck all empty for a while for a lot of reasons personal or overwise but was just hit with a fun funny

Back then Joey Drew studios (the irl one, before they took their game name lol) made their first teasers and first trailers! And their first take on the Dark revival ink demon design back in like 2019 or something…? I don’t remember but they did prematurely make that one dark revival toyline with Audrey, little bendy and that Ink demon design as well. Guy used to just looked like a more polished Batim Ink demon design in a sense and belive that design could open his mouth, just not as prominent of an our current design that we all adore.

Just think despite being a I guess scraped design he’s a nice addition to the “ink demon evolution tree” lmao. Think it’s pretty fascinating how much he’s literally grown and evolved over the years, be it cannonicly or literally xD it’s peak

- Knitted demon spawn

I remember when they came out with the open teeth design and I was like, "damn, they really revamped his design, huh?" Only to play BATDR and get mind blown with the new big scary demon design. I was so startled

[starryredpandawrites]

(I fell asleep while typing this, I am a moron, and evidently an exhausted one)

Hey! Online shenanigans ain’t mandatory in life unlike irl obligations or happenings, no matter what nature. Don’t gotta justify yourself in having a life or have to explain yourself as to what’s going on, no one is demanding that any personal info cus they have no right to it (if someone is being a demanding asshat I’ll punch their face in)

Regardless, there’s no rush or anything or a time limit to how often you can post or when and why you have to do anything. Just as long as it isn’t getting away from your irl stuff and you are infact taking care of yourself that’s all that matters oof, hope you have fun getting back in the saddle again oof. Self care is importantly god damnit!!!

- Knitted demon spawn

Thank youuuuuuuuuuuu this was and still is a good reminder for me, u da best

[starryredpandawrites]

I have a few odd questions if you would be willing to answer them: Does your BFtSI Audrey get a monthly visit from Aunt Flo? How would she explain it to Bendy, if yes?

My silly personal headcanon is that Joey has/had NO IDEA what women's anatomy looks like, so he did not think to give Audrey the components for Aunt Flo to visit. As Audrey grew, she realized that her feminine friends got those monthly visits, and she asked her father about it. Joey realized he f///ed up, and has to come up with some kind of excuse since he just forgot about that when creating her. So Audrey now tells people who ask that she unfortunately had something weird happen at a young age, so she does not get monthly visits.

Sorry for the long ask by the way, I am just weirdly curious about this.

From, ⛓ Anon

I love this question, thanks for the ask!!![Insert obligatory apology for taking so long to answer it]

Honestly, I hadn't thought about it until your ask and I think your idea of Joey forgetting to give her a uterus/the ability to have a period is spot on, which is so fucking funny to me 🤣

[starryredpandawrites]

Hello! It’s been ages (not tried to ignore anything just finally got a break form irl for a while) Now I can do stuff like possibly drawing, reading fanfics or just enjoying that have or will come out rn. (Currently a certain new Deltarune character is taking over my funny brain chemistry)

I hope things are going well Red for both you and your sister (and beloved critters and creatures) and that you guys have a good summer. Possibly could join artfight next year if I have the braincells for it

And yeah think the lone wolf trailer came out or something, so that’s pretty neat :0 have a good one folks!

- Knitted demon spawn

Just answered your last/more recent checking ask so I'm not gonna write much here but know I appreciated this when I first saw and still appreciate it now that I found the spoons to interact with people online again!!!

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Side note, I still need to play the latest Deltarune chapter, sis and I have been meaning to play it together since it came out but just haven't gotten to it yet 😭

[starryredpandawrites]

It’s been a while huh? Hopefully you guys irl horrors (while sadly real) were at least livable? Or something akin to that i suppose

And suppose I’ve not done my duty to update you guys on the bendy happenings I suppose. A good numbers of things has been happening

Like Secret of the machine has gotten a decent chunk of updates in the (rerelease and rebrand) of Boris and the dark survival to Boris lone wolf or something. It releases on the 15th of august, a few days away as of writing this. And in Secret of the machine there’s a live countdown to it too, it’s pretty neat lol

How you guys are doing well! With all your spider and critter bbys and the like :0 hope you all are doing well! Take care of eachother damnit!!!

Knitted demon spawn

Thanks for checking in, we're still surviving!! 😁

I really want to catch up with all the Bendy stuff I've missed (plus a whole bunch of other fandoms/shows/games/stuff I'm interested in) but I just can't seem to find/make time for it anymore :P

I still believe I'll get better at managing my time so I can have more of an online presence again eventually but I have no idea how long it will take me to do that.

Take care of yourself, it's always great to hear from you 🥰

Breadhead one-shot sneak peak

I've been SUPER hyperfixating on the Gaslight District and was going to make a post citing all the evidence I've found that Breadhead knows that Mel is human, but then I got inspired and turned it into a short fic. I don't have a title for it yet (my sister thinks it's gonna turn into a "five times character x did y and one time character z did y back") but here's what I've written so far:

Breadhead was used to hearing screams. They were one of his favorite sounds, tied with his family’s laughter, cracking bones, and Clair de Lune. So, when someone shouted right next to his breadbox, he woke up just enough to listen, but not enough to open his eyes. A random shout was hardly worth giving up his cozy setup (curled upside-down in his breadbox with a finger in his mouth), especially after his groggy mind identified the owner as Jack. Mud loved making him shriek. 

“Wait, Jack, it’s not what you think!”

That roused Breadhead up enough to pull his finger out of his mouth. Mel’s voice was unexpected, although she also enjoyed pranking the rotling.

“Freak! I’m telling everyone!”

“No, Dad will explain it all to you, please wait-Dad! DAD!” 

“Get away from me, Black Blood!”

The phrase, black blood, echoed through the yeast golem’s head and he reflexively frowned. What sort of prank was his sister trying to pull? 

Something wasn’t right. Breadhead cracked open a tired eye and sighed as he was greeted by the restaurant's front doors. The opening to his box was in a great position to watch for intruders but not so great for watching whatever was going down in the rest of the room. 

“Nononono, Jack, you’ve got it all wrong! My blood is purple, right? Right?”

He opened his other eye just in time to watch the rotling run out the front door with Mel following close behind, yelling and urging him to stay. A moment later, a yellow light flashed through the restaurant’s front windows, briefly illuminating the room and blinding Breadhead. Despite his sudden inability to see, he didn’t squint or shut his eyes. Instead, he left them wide open, patiently waiting for them to adjust on their own. 

There was more yelling and an engine rattled to life. Breadhead grumbled and shifted upright in his box as he pondered getting up. On one hand, Ken probably wouldn’t approve of his son beating the shit out of his favorite employee and Mel could handle herself perfectly fine (despite what their father believed). On the other hand, he did NOT like how scared his little sister sounded, and he definitely didn’t like Jack threatening her and calling her a freak.

His internal debate was interrupted by the familiar stomp of their dad’s bootsteps and Breadhead relaxed. Looks like his decision was made for him. 

The lights disappeared, returning the room to its dimly lit state as the rattling of Jack’s car engine faded into the night. With a yawn, the yeast golem settled back against the smooth wooden walls of his bed and let his eyelids drift low. 

Then Mel returned. She burst through the front doors, panicked eyes wide and unseeing. The lower half of her face was smeared with black, like she’d wiped it with an ink-soaked napkin. 

Breadhead watched in startled confusion as a drop of dark liquid beaded underneath her nose and fell to the floor.

“Dad!” She ran right past her silent observer’s bed, disturbing the air. A slight breeze brushed against him in her wake. “Help me!”

“Keep it down,” the old rotling butcher barked, groggy and annoyed. “You’ll wake your brother.”

The yeast golem blinked, then blinked again. This was wrong. Her blood should be purple. 

Behind him, his family spoke in hushed voices. Breadhead probably could have made out their words if he tried, but he didn’t. He was too busy staring at Mel’s blood. It glistened against the floor, the black shining golden in the dim candlelight. 

“Jack knows?” Groggy no longer, the fear in Ken’s uncharacteristically soft and horrified voice was infectious. 

Goosebumps prickled Breadhead’s crusty skin. He squeezed his eyes shut and decided he was still asleep. Mud must have pranked Jack somewhere nearby and his scream had affected his dreams. Either that or this was a weird side effect of absorbing too much Bug Lite before bed.

A heavy fist pounded against the side of his breadbox, sending vibrations throughout the yeast golem’s body. He snapped to attention and looked up at his father’s time to do crime smile.

 “Get up, son. We’ve got a rat to catch.”

Thanks for reading!! Let me know what y'all think and/or if you're interested in reading more 😊

[starryredpandawrites]

Working on getting ye old writing wheels grinding again and was pleasantly surprised by the amount of inspiration I got after watching the Gaslight District pilot.

FYI, this show and this fic are DEFINITELY not for kids. Very good tho

Subject 418 or Sammy’s birthday is apparently today…? At least as of typing this

“It has been stated by theMeatly that April 18 is Sammy's birthday, the same release date of Bendy and the Ink Machine: Chapter 2.” (This is copy pasted cus I just woke up and am exhausted rip)

Hope things are going alright otherwise! Good look you two & co!

- Knitted demon spawn

Happy (late) birthday to the Sammy boi!

[starryredpandawrites]

Right forgot this was a thing cus of the calander stuff

If that’s interesting to anyone go for it, it was posted on the YouTube channel like 2 hours ago as of writing this. Hope it’s at least fun for someone lol

It’s a likely possibility that something is happening in secrets of the machine rn, but idk I’m just doing guesswork here, if i remember to maybe ill to a playthrew later after like a year a see what’s up lmao

- Knitted demon spawn

[starryredpandawrites]

Happy February 10th! Aka the 8 year anniversary of Bendy and the Ink Machine chapter 1 (god I feel old) still the silly ink critters will never not be peak, looking forward to more bendy content to come!!!

- Knitted demon spawn

(Using this ask to show people I'm still alive)

Thanks for the ask, I always love hearing from you, Knitted Demon Spawn 😊

Damn, didn't even realize I missed the anniversary. That's WILD. I haven't really checked Tumblr in a looooooong time but hoping to change that soon. Can't wait to catch up on all the fan content I've probably been missing out on. Haven't had much free time, my life has been an absolute whirlwind for months and I think I'm finally stabilizing.

Also wanna post something soon but soon for me could mean anywhere between a week or a month, we'll see.
