Silly aspects.

To Eldred:

Wait, every demon? Even Bendy? Okay, better question: What do you think about him?

He’s a demon you tried to kill, but he also saved your life. Do you want to kill him? Or just fight him? Leave him alone? Or even protect him?

+Also, what do you think about the recent events in 411?

(I’d like to hear the other Brain Cups’ thoughts about bendy too.😅)

Eldred: Know what? Since I keep gettin’ asked about that tiny rat, I’ll do ya a solid. Next time I get outta this damn thing I’ll make sure ta hunt him down specifically and give him the slowest, most painful death that I can. It’ll be hard since him and that stupid wolf ran so much last time. Those cussers are slippery, but I’ll make the effort. It’ll be worth it for me to prove to you just how cussin’ little I care so you all can stop askin’. I’ll make sure to share every little detail, from which teeth I force him to swallow to the specific ribs I break with my boot. Sound good?

Eldred: What’s a 411? Is it somethin’ those morons are doin’? What is it?

Zed: Hey! What are you all doin’ back here with him?

Eldred: Cuss off hero. Go die for a cat.

Zed: Charmin’. Always so charmin’. C’mon you lot. Let’s leave him to his cursing.

Eldred: I’ll be sure to make you regret it!

…

Zed: Okay. Good to be away. Hey, y’all should be careful around that cusser. He is not a good influence in anyway. He just wants to hurt…uh well everyone and everything. You got a question about Bendy right? I’ll answer while we go rejoin the others. So Bendy is a good fella. I wish I could be more like him. He’d probably hate to hear I look up to him a bit…metaphorically. Pfft! Sorry! That was mean. My bad.

Jared: Zed! Oh! You got a question for us! Bendy huh? Well, he’s grumpy but he is SO fun to prank. He’ll never catch me either so it’s even funnier when he tries. I really like him. I wish we could goof off more together.

Gilead: Bendy? Stars, I can’t believe we tried to kill him. I felt terrible every time he had an ink attack in front of us. I mean, hunt him? He couldn’t even move!

Jared: And now we can feel those attacks too!

Gilead: Which is even worse! Poor fella! How is he still standin’? Cuss man. I pity him. He’s a good listener but he’s too much like us. He needs ta work on that.

Armstead: He’s too trustin’. Too impulsive. He needs to be more careful. We could lead this group better but they wouldn’t trust us.

Gilead: They’re smart not to.

Armstead: Still, he’s strong and clever when he remembers to be. I worry he’s going to figure out too much about us thanks to this bond but…we can probably trust him. Probably. Maybe. He’s a demon. But a good person!! It’s not like he’d force us to hurt anyone or steal anything or spill the beans on what we know or-

Jared: Breathe Armstead! Breathe! It’s okay!

Armstead: I’m fine! It’s…fine. But if Mugs tries to get a bond, we punch him! There’s no evidence!

Zed: We know. We’ll figure it out.

Armstead: Damn right we will!

Red: Stars, I want to fight him more.

Zed: Red!

Red: Not like that idiot! Sparing! I want to train more! He’s a good workout! Cuss man. I don’t want ta break EVERYONE’S neck.

How do the cranium cups feel about holly!!!! WE NEED TO KNOW!!!!!

Red: Don’t care.

Gilead: We’ve done her so wrong. She shouldn’t even look at us.

Armstead: I’m just relieved she stopped followin’ us. As long as she stays out of our business, she can be safe.

Red: Just kill whoever looks at her wrong. There. Easy.

Armstead: That is NOT the answer! What about the cops! What about witnesses!

Red: Just get rid of ‘em too! Cuss!!

Gilead: What about the look of horror she’ll give us if we killed all those people around?

Red: Cussin’ depressed much! Just don’t do it when she’s around! We know how ta be a bodyguard.

Zed: Ugh.

Jared: There, there Zed. They’re doin’ their best. I know. That’s the worst part.

Red: Ain’t hearin’ any ideas from that corner.

Zed: Okay, Arms and Red want to protect her and Gil is riddled with guilt.

Red: Oi, I said I don’t cussin’ care.

Zed: Liar, ANYWAY! Do ya’ll like her?

Red, Armstead, Gilead:…

Zed: My stars! It’s like workin’ with blind cats.

Jared: I like her! I like her a lot! She’s smart and fun and tough and clever and she has the cutest smile! She’d totally cheer at our games! And I bet she can come up with the best pranks.

Zed: Beautiful, caring, considerate, stubborn, and determined.

Armstead: She’s good at strategy.

Zed: There you go!

Gilead: It is nice to talk to her instead of goin’ to the bar.

Zed: See? Now we’re gettin’ somewhere.

Jared: Ya know. I think I’m right when I say, all of us lov—

The others: WAIT NO!! STOP!!!

[thisanimatedphantom]

Question for all of the cranium cups(except Eldred because cuss him): What would your ideal date with Holly be like? ;)

Jared: Oh! Oh! Museums! I call the museums! And the book store!

Zed: You get one or the other otherwise you’ll take all the good spots!

Jared: ‘Cause I know what’s best.

Zed: You lil cusser!

Jared: Ah! Don’t try ta grab me! Fine! Fine! Museums! Then we get ta look at stuff too.

Gilead: Picnic at the park. She can read and I can doze under a tree’s shade.

Zed: I’m shocked ya didn’t say a casino.

Gilead: I don’t want her around those schmucks.

Zed:…

Armstead: Was Gilead reasonably honest about his favorite place?

Gilead: What? We’re scum too. We absolutely belong there, just not her.

Zed: There it is.

Armstead: Ah. Thought we had a break through for a second there.

Gilead: Cuss both of you.

Red: I think I’d do a cafe/bookstore combo. It’s nice and quiet. We can talk, relax, and I can keep an eye on the room and exits.

Zed: Of course the fighter one would say that. Well since you lay-abouts are boring then I’ll sweep her off her feet to a dance club and show. We can get some ritzy seat to some of the best performers in Toon Town! We can show off some of the dance moves Bendy’s been reachin’ us too.

Red: Loser.

Armstead: We can do better than that.

Zed: Oh yeah? And where the hell would you take her Mr. Paranoid?

Armstead: First, cuss ya off a cliff. Second, Broadway with a back stage pass. Find her a good fantasy show or musical since she likes the fantasy genre and music. Maybe we get lucky and have both in one show. Depends on what’s playin’. Then we gift her an autograph book with the backstage pass when we get there. First surprise is the show tickets. Second is the pass. Double the happiness. She can meet the stars and have a unique experience along with enjoyin’ the show.

Zed:…

Jared: Wow Armstead! That’s a great idea!

Red: Always the planner.

Gilead: I’d accuse you of bein’ a stalker but you just notice all that stardust about everyone.

Armstead: I just pay attention.

[thisanimatedphantom]

Why does Armstead feel like they could be a better leader? Has he always felt that way?

Armstead: Because I’m the most cautious. The others have had their turns to get us all into a cuss ton of trouble. I know how to keep us and Mugman safe and at the end of the day, that’s what matters.

Jared: Mattered.

Armstead: What?

Jared: Mattered. Past tense. Things are different now.

Armstead: They really ain’t.

Jared: Yeah-uh! There are more people we have ta protect AND they protect us.

Armstead: That’s not—

Zed: He has a point.

Armstead: I don’t need that from you.

Gilead: Why be in denial? You’ve been stressed ta the damn moon and back ‘cause ya don’t know how to handle this bigger group.

Armstead: That’s not why I—

Red: Maybe we should start talkin’ about a new lead aspect.

Armstead: I AM STILL THE ONE IN CHARGE!! I MAKE SURE THE DOORS ARE LOCKED AND THE WINDOWS ARE CLOSED! I MAKE SURE NO ONE IS FOLLOWIN’ US AND WE HAS AN ESCAPE!! ME!

Zed: And we’re grateful and all but Arms your moonrocks at bein’ a team player. Ya don’t let our guard down and gettin’ you to trust is harder than pullin’ crocodile teeth.

Jared: And we’re on a team now! One we can trust!

Armstead: We don’t know that for sure! Alison is an unknown, Felix doesn’t trust us, and that rabbit is too quiet.

Zed: See? That’s what I mean!

Armstead: See what?

Gilead: It’s sad ya don’t even see what you’re doin’.

Armstead: Doin’ what! I’m protectin’ us! That’s goal number one!

Jared: Stars, we have work to do.

Red: Just sayin’ new lead aspect ain’t a bad idea.

Armstead: Red, I will fight you.

Red: I wish you would.

[thisanimatedphantom]

I dunno if this has been answered, but what do the Cranium Cups think of their bond with Bendy?

Armstead: It’s terrible! It was fine to monitor him with but he is too aware of us now! And what if it gets worse?! What if he can order us around? What is his magic doin’ to us?!

Zed: Oh I dunno. How about SAVIN’ OUR LIFE!! Remember? He hasn’t done cuss all to us!

Red: Well, we do have a scar on our arm.

Zed: That doesn’t count!

Gilead: We know he’s a pushover softy. Way too nice for his own good. Hell, if anyone can take advantage of this bond, it’s prolly us.

Red: If he doesn’t get us killed.

Zed: If he wanted us dead he just didn’t have to save us! C’mon fellas! This is BENDY we’re talkin’ about here.

Red: A demon startin’ ta understand his power.

Gilead: A demon that doesn’t understand his power.

Armstead: Unknown. Unpredictable! What if he changes on us?

Zed: You paranoid nut jobs!

Jared: Well they are afraid of demons at this point but we all know Bendy too. That fella would take a bullet for us. A loving older brother, a goofball with an addiction to bacon, a mechanic geek, a book nerd. Optimistic and hopeful and he completely trusts us—

Gilead: He shouldn’t. We ain’t worth all that. Cusser should mind his business.

Red: He’s too stubborn for that.

Zed: And he cares! He went all over the place lookin’ for us, remember?

Jared: He’s had our back a lot. He’s our best friend.

Armstead: Stars you’re so cheesy.

Jared: But I’m not wrong! The bond is great! We understand him better. He can understand US better. Who knows? Maybe even greater things can happen because of it!

[thisanimatedphantom]

What was Eldred like before the demon blood? Is he the aspect in control during blackouts? How blackouts look for the Cranium Cups?

Zed: I got this one fellas! So Eldred gets out and this place floods in dark magic. We get locked out of the panel and can’t control cuss all! Memories are corrupted and we are scramblin’ ta catch the cusser.

Armstead: He completely overrides the system every time. Like it’s child’s play.

Gilead: Meanwhile we’re watchin’ some broken up images of what Eldred is makin’ us do. Oh stars. Nope. Not thinkin’ about it.

Red: We’ve killed people before wimp.

Gilead: Not like that and you know it!

Red: Mmhph.

Zed: Anyway! It takes all of us and only when we get a cussin’ chance to wrangle control back. Cusser can just keep goin’ even with all of us fightin’ him. Damn magic.

Armstead: Usually it’s overwhelmin’ and Cup passes out for a time. Short, long, it’s never consistent.

Zed: And we wrangle the damn scum back into his cage.

Jared: Usually he’s cacklin’ and braggin’ and such.

Gilead: And I pick up whatever pieces are left and add them to my mountain of cuss why are we even tryin’?

Armstead: And we try to piece together what happened and manage the fallout. Sometimes it’s alright and Mugs would Abel to keep him busy and give us our chance.

Gilead: And sometimes it’s bad and we have to skip town.

Zed: But it’s always stardust.
