I love Bendy and the Ink Machine! The ending was weird though. Thoughts?
I haven't actually seen the ending yet. I'd like to play chapter 4 before watching chapter 5, but... I'm an anxious bean that can not bring myself to fight Boris...
Going on, from what I do know it feels a bit like a let down. I think the "Joey is running this horror show in the back of his house" ordeal is an interesting ending that no one would have suspected, that there is a loop of some sort going on adds another level of horrifying to this game that I like.
But... I am also writing an au that is most definitely not going to be any of that so... I think it left us wanting for more, a certain conclusion or something that felt like it may someday lead to a conclusion. And so while I find it really interesting from what I do know of it... I also feel a tad bit wronged by it.
I personally dont care for chapter five; the ending was horrible (it honestly was for me. Meatly, you did my children in dirty) but the monster bendy eas pretty cool.
However, everything after chapter 5 I'm just going to ignore (more so after the fight with monster bendy if what I'm going to ignore.)
New ending; the Real Bendy is sitting there crying with Tom and Allison and Henry says "fuck you" to Joey, takes his new children home and lets them live life how they want; with him and his family.
Also; fuck that original ending man (I aint having dat shit).
Ho boy, that sure was....something. Look, I’ll be honest: Chapter 5 of Bendy and the Ink Machine kinda disappointed me. There were just...so many loose ends and things that flat-out didn’t make any sense?
Also, I know it’s been literal months since the release, but I really needed to get this off my chest.
(Just a heads-up: since I don’t own chapter 5 myself yet, I’m using screenshots from Jacksepticeye’s playthrough of it.
You can watch the original video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5KnheYXreE)
1. Allison and Tom, a.k.a. “Can I have Wally!Boris back, please?”
Chapter 4 left us on a major cliffhanger with it’s final shot of another Alice (who’s name, dataminers found out, was Allison) and another Boris with a metal arm rescuing Henry from Susie!Alice. Seeing that there were good versions of the cartoon characters, like many theorists suspected, definitely hyped us up for more.
And then the Chapter 5 - trailer came up and solidified that hype by showing Henry seemingly fighting side by side with Allison!Alice. It very much looked like we were getting not one, but two new companions. The short scene of Allison fighting the Lost Ones also followed a brief interaction between Allison and Henry that got fans to bring out the tinfoil-hats:
Allison: “Henry....why are you here?”
Henry: “The Ink Demon has something we need. I’m going after him.
It sounded like we were in for an adventure of epic proportions in Chapter 5 with two new allies having our back. Definitely a welcome mix-up of the previous rather lonely chapters.
What we got, however was....not that..
Chapter 5 begins with Henry being held prisoner by Allison and Tom. Since before the original release there were a bunch of tape-videos on the Meatley’s youtube-channel that implied as much, with Henry referring to Allison and Tom as his captors. So this wasn’t really a surprise.
What was, however, was Allison’s and Tom’s actual roles in the overall story. Which is to say: Almost none.
Allison and Tom leave Henry to be killed by an approaching Ink Demon, only to miraculously show up out of nowhere at the end of the Sammy Mini-boss fight and the start of the Searcher/Lost Ones battle.
These battles are another can of worms in and of themselves, but I’ll talk about each of them later.
Apart from the battle against the Ink Creatures and one minor obstacle later on, Allison and Tom have no real purpose in this chapter. Allison merely serves as an exposition dump for things a lot of fans had figured out already (Sammy being in charge of the Lost Ones, Ink creatures who die going back to the puddles, the writing on the walls coming from the Searchers) and Tom....Tom was kind of the worst.
For reasons that are neither implied nor explained later Tom greatly distrusts Henry at the start of the chapter. He threatens him physically whenever they so much as see each other,
denies him food behind Allison’s back
and even goes so far as to convince Allison to leave Henry to die.
This is sort of addressed by Allison’s small speech at the start in which she explains that down in the studio, strangers aren’t really “good things” and that Tom thinks that Henry is “dangerous”.
Henry: “Are you gunna let me out of here?”
Allison: “Down here, strangers aren’t good things. How can we trust you?”
Henry: “Alice... please let me out of here.”
Allison: “Tom thinks you’re dangerous.”
However upon further scrutiny that argument really doesn’t hold any water. When Allison and Tom first meet Henry, he has just narrowly escaped being murdered by Susie!Alice. He also makes no move to attack them or even defend himself. So what reason would they (or rather: Tom) have to think that he was dangerous?
Henry isn’t an Ink creature and is obviously lucid.
And furthermore, if they really distrust him that much, why save him from Susie!Alice in the first place?
Why not just let her kill him and go on their way?
They clearly don’t even care for him enough to at least give him a chance to escape his prison before they save their own sorry butts.
Yet for whatever reason their opinion of him does a sudden 180° right after the Sammy-fight.
Tom is now somehow convinced that Henry won’t hurt them, enough to save him from Sammy
and hand him a weapon,
and Allison seems to have completely forgotten that she and Tom literally left this man for dead mere hours ago. She approaches him so nonchalantly, it’s honestly kind of insulting.
Say what you want about Wally!Boris, but even though he may have been a bit of a coward, he at least still stayed behind to help an injured Henry when the elevator collapsed - at the cost of his own life, might I add.
And his presence in the story was of great importance. Thanks to him we found out a lot about how the Ink Machine works and the puddles and Ink-creatures themselves.
So companion-wise, Allison and Tom really were a bit of a downgrade.
And story-wise?
Like I said, Allison and Tom don’t actually add much to the overall story of Bendy and the Ink Machine beyond exposition. Their personalities are rather stale compared to the other characters we have met along the way. Which really is a pity, since the trailer hyped them up so much.
2. Sammy’s return a.k.a “What, that’s it?”
Sammy Lawrence has become a real fan-favorite since his debut in Chapter 2. A fact theMeatley was clearly aware of. Sammy, much like Allison and Tom, was hyped up a lot prior to chapter 5.
There was whole special event involving him at the Hot Topic’s Twitter, where he answered questions while simultaneously leaving cryptic hints and implications about what was really going on.
Chapter 3 had an easter-egg where you could hear his voice by playing a couple of instruments in just the right order.
Due to all the fuzz made around the character, a lot of people had speculated that he might come back in a later chapter.
They would be proven right, but...well...
When Sammy did show up again he was....different. For once he had clearly undergone a voice actor-change and moved up a few nudges on the crazy scale, screeching about how the Ink Demon betrayed and abandoned him, even though he “gave him everything”.
And after a brief scuffle with Henry he just...dies again.
After all the foreshadowing, all the wink-wink-nudge-nudge done by the creators this was a really disappointing way to make Sammy come back.
Much like our new “companions” Sammy doesn’t really contribute anything to the story. Not even additional lore.
He shows up quite literally out of nowhere and into nowhere he also seems to vanish again.
Neither Henry nor Allison refer to him or at least mention him after the fight. With as big of a role as he played in Chapter 2, you’d think Henry would make a bit more of a fuzz about the guy coming back. But he just...stays silent during the whole fight, saying nothing about Sammy’s miraculous revival or even trying to deny the accusations Sammy throws at him throughout the battle.
The battle itself is incredibly confusing from a story standpoint. Sammy attacking Henry while simultaneously declaring his hatred of the Ink Demon who abandoned him comes off as more than a bit nonsensical.
If Sammy’s rage is directed at Inky!Bendy, why would he want to hurt Henry?
Does he think Henry is Bendy?
Why?
He didn’t seem to have any trouble recognizing Henry as an outsider the first time they met.
It’s even implied he remembers him to a certain extent.
Sammy: “Wait! You look familiar to me. That face...”
Perhaps the most frustrating part about this encounter, is a line of Allison’s that comes right before the group is attacked by the citizens of the Lost One’s village:
Allison: “The searchers and the Lost Ones built this place. Sammy must have been keeping them at bay. Now that he’s gone-”
This is genuinely interesting.
Not only does this confirm that Sammy was, indeed, the leader of the Lost Ones, but that their passive behavior was due to him.
For whatever reason the Lost Ones and the Searchers trusted and obeyed him enough to follow his orders and under his guidance apparently even managed to built a small, safe haven for themselves.
Now that Henry and Tom killed off the person who was most likely the only slight glimmer of hope they had, they’re understandingly pretty pissed.
But just like so many other interesting plot points throughout the game, this idea just gets pushed aside.
After the team leaves the village, they never encounter either the Lost Ones or the Searchers ever again.
How much more engaging would it have been if we had actually delved into this a bit?
If we’d actually learned more about who Sammy was, how he came to be what he is by the time we find him first in chapter 2 and how and why the Lost Ones and the Searchers trusted him so much?
If we’d gotten a bit of backstory on the village and maybe the Lost Ones opinion of Sammy and what he did for them?
But alas, it was not meant to be.
Speaking of which...
3. The Lost Ones and the Searchers a.k.a ” We’ve had an axe-fight in every chapter so far and by Golly, we will have one in this chapter too!”
Yeaaah, I did not care for the battle against those guys...
I mean, the fact that Henry would end up fighting them (together with Allison) was already set in stone since the trailer showed a brief glimpse of the battle.
But the way in which it was executed....
A lot of theorists speculated that the reason the Lost Ones would attack would be because of either:
Allison being another Alice Angel.
Chapter four had already established that the Lost Ones feared and probably even despised Susie!Alice and for good reason. Susie!Alice was a homicidal maniac obsessed with beauty who had canonically murdered other Ink creatures in order to repair herself.
Why wouldn’t the Lost Ones try to stay as far away from her as possible? And why wouldn’t they assume that this new Alice wouldn’t be any better in terms of personality?
The Lost Ones being part of the Bendy-cult. Also a pretty reasonable explanation, since their lair Henry finds in chapter four has the words “He will set us free” scrawled on the walls. The very same mantra Sammy Lawrence, the self proclaimed prophet of Bendy used quite frequently. As such, they’d obviously try and gain the attention of the creature they believed would save them by taking care of its enemies.
But the real reason was....a lot more tragic and disappointing.
Remember this line?
Allison: “Sammy must have been keeping them at bay. Now that he’s gone-”
This line being said right before you murder a bunch of Lost Ones and Searchers carries two incredibly problematic implications.
The first one being that Allison and Tom knew (or suspected anyway) that Sammy was the reason the Lost Ones weren’t hostile at first, yet Tom proceeded to kill him anyway instead of just knocking him out or holding him hostage.
Why would he do that if he knew him, Allison and Henry would be attacked the second Sammy dies?
Is Tom just so bloodthirsty and violent that he doesn’t care about even Allison’s safety?
Though considering what we’ve seen of him so far, that wouldn’t really be a surprise.
And secondly, that the Lost Ones are (or were) violent beasts that need Sammy to keep them in check and whom it’s totally okay to mercilessly slaughter.
That’s... quite a bit of a contradiction to previous plot points and implications.
Let’s start with the Searchers, or rather one Searcher: Jack Fain.
Jack Fain is the only non-aggressive Searcher you ever come across in the entire game.
The most he ever does is steal a piece of machinery that Henry needs. And even that’s not out of malicious intent, but rather a childish way to get Henry’s attention.
The way you deal with Jack is rather brutal: Since he’s too fast for Henry to catch, you lure him underneath a large crate and then crush him with it.
Even Henry doesn’t feel comfortable doing this.
Henry: “Sorry I had to do that. Nice hat though.”
The tragic implication here, is that Searchers don’t necessarily have to be violent monsters. They can be self-aware enough to keep parts of their old personality.
Jack only steals the gear because he wants Henry to sing with him. Why? Because Jack used to be a lyricist and singing was a thing he really loved. The most important part to remember here is that Jack did all of this himself. By the time you go after him, Sammy is nowhere in sight. And even if he was nearby, it’s highly unlikely he would order Jack to involve Henry in a pointless game of tag, since Henry is supposed to be a sacrifice to the Ink Demon.
Then there’s the matter of the Lost Ones. It’s never really explained in-universe what they are and why they’re so different from the Searchers in that they have somewhat stable bodies, can talk and hide together instead of drifting aimlessly through the ink.
However the game heavily implies that the Lost Ones are former workers who had the misfortune of being swept up in Joey Drew’s machinations and ending up as abominations as a result. Or put simply: they were bystanders who got transformed into monsters through no fault of their own.
When Henry encounters them in Chapter 4 they don’t....really do anything. They just stand and sit around in their hide-out, whimper and let him pass.
But come Chapter 5 they seem to have undergone a personality-change and are now just as violent as the more monstrous Searchers, even though the existence of the town and the haven clearly implies some form of intelligence beyond instinct.
The most plausible explanation for that would be rage and a desire for revenge due to Sammy’s murder but if they really cared so much for him, why didn’t they help him in his fight with Henry? Did he tell them not to? If so, why? Were they simply too scared to intervene? But they don’t seem to have any problems with fighting Allison, Tom!Boris and Henry. Wouldn’t it have made more sense if they’d ganged up on Henry when he was alone, but gotten more hesitant when Allison and Tom arrived to help him?
The point I’m trying to make is, the fight against the Searchers and the Lost Ones is incredibly out of sync with what we’ve been shown about them so far and opens up a ton of plot-holes and unfortunate implications and I really wish theMeatley had integrated it better.
4. The Ending a. k. a. “Ummm, what???”
Look, I get it: Ending a horror-game on an ambiguous, slightly ominous note is basically tradition by this point.
But come on!
Absolutely nothing about the ending in BatIm makes any sense whatsoever and it reeks of putting in a Gainax ending just for the sake of it.
Apparently the whole adventure was a dream/hallucination/metaphor about how things slowly but surely went downhill in Joey Drew Studios after Henry left, but also not really, because the final scene before the credits is Henry re-entering the studio through a side door in Joey’s kitchen, seemingly having no memory of what happened before that point.
This ending was unsatisfying as hell (pun not intended).
It left the majority of the games’ mysteries unsolved, lazily slapped a Dorothy angle on the whole thing and then ended by implying the cliché of clichés: time travel.
The face reveal with Joey also comes right out of nowhere. Joey is just...there.He goes on a bit about how Henry was always the one who kept him from doing stupid shit (like sacrificing people) and running the company into the ground, laments how unkind time has been to him and ends his tangent with an enigmatic remark about how Henry “should have pushed a little harder” and that he should “visit the old workshop”. Cue the above described time-travel implication.
And then there’s an after-credit scene where we learn that
1. Henrys’ last name is ‘Stein’ (haha, get it?)
2. Additionally to being a dream/hallucination/metaphor BatIm’s plot is also apparently a bedtime story that Joey’s telling a little girl who calls him “Uncle Joey”
3. There is a second Ink Machine in Joey’s real-life home for....whatever reason.
This all kinda looks like pure sequel hook. Which is incredibly fishy and disappointing.
Overall, I loved Bendy and the Ink Machine as a game. The story was engaging (at least in chapters 1-4) and the characters apart from maybe a few were entertaining.
All right, so I finished playing through Bendy all the way through to the end at about 2:00 in the morning, and I’m pretty sure I laid awake for another hour or so just thinking through what I saw in the ending. After sleeping on it and looking at what some people found with the Lens in earlier chapters, I’m going to take a crack at my own theory. Not sure how different it is going to be from others’, since I haven’t seen that many so far and people are still reeling from it, but here goes.
Okay, so first and foremost:
The entirety of the game up to the end (not including the apartment) is a story.
It is a story written by Joey Drew as an old man, years and years after starting his studio.
This is why Joey has storyboards featuring Ink Demon Bendy and the other character in their corrupt forms in his apartment.
This is why there’s a little girl asking to hear the story again from Uncle Joey.
This is why he has nice letters and phone numbers and photos from his employees that in the main game are most definitely dead.
And this is why everything in the “Studio” is so outlandish in comparison to the apartment, why everything is so sketchy, mono-colored, with stray pencil marks covering every surface.
It’s all ideas. Stories. Sketches and storyboards.
So given this, here’s what I think happened in the “real world,” the world with the apartment in it.
Years and years ago, there were two fresh-faced cartoonists. Both immensely creative, they each had their own strengths. Henry Stein had the stronger knack for animation and character design, and was an extremely hard and persistent worker when it came to his craft. Joey Drew was a big-concept ideas man, and had the charisma, drive and willingness to take risks in order to take his stories to a wide audience. Their ideas and stories bounced off each other like Kirby and Lee, and so they decided to start an animation studio together. It was a small humble studio (resembling Chapter 1′s studio), but it was one started in earnest, with a strong heart to it.
After work on smaller projects, one day Henry created a brand new character, a little darling devil that he decided to call Bendy. Bringing his design to Joey, his ambitious partner saw that this design was the perfect jumping-off point for their studio. Bendy was cute, streamlined, and had a look that could only be described as iconic. And so they ran with it.
And it was a huge success.
People absolutely loved Bendy. He became the Mickey Mouse of this universe, with fans all over the globe. The studio began to grow with Bendy’s fame, but as any arrangement with a devil goes, it did not go as smoothly as was hoped.
Joey and Henry, the two founding titans of this studio, had a falling out. Joey had become ambitious to a fault, and any number of things could have been a breaking point. Perhaps Henry saw Joey’s ideas to expand Bendy into a huge empire as getting too far away from its humble beginnings. Maybe Joey was trying to take the studio away from traditional animation as the times changed (with the Ink Machine’s 3-D constructs representing a jump to digital or CGI maybe?), and Henry just couldn’t/didn’t want to keep up. Maybe there was even an argument over Bendy himself and who really created/owned him. Whatever the reason, Henry left the studio, never to come back.
As Joey says to Henry at the end, Henry went on to start a family and live a full life outside the studio. Joey stayed on, and kept building his animation empire, just as he said he would. Without Henry to ground his ambition, he tried to put everything into action that he wanted to. Merchandise, toy lines, even a theme park, just expanding the name of Bendy and Joey Drew Studios as far as it could go. There were pitfalls. There were risks that might have fallen through. There were budget overages, social snafus with designers, even a particularly nasty scandal that resulted in Alice Angel having two different voice actors. But through all of this, Joey Drew’s great machine kept chugging along, and the studio was still wildly successful up to the very end of Joey’s career.
And at the end, Joey Drew looked back at his career. He saw this massive success where he made so many people happy. The people who worked under him, despite butting heads with him, had fruitful careers and left on favorable terms with him, moving on to other successes, still keeping touch with their old boss and updating him on their lives.
But even in this success, Joey still felt somewhat hollow. In hindsight, he saw how naked his ambition was. He saw that he was not always honorable, and in crafting his animation empire, he knows that there was still a certain level of corruption, a certain level of soullessness that he brought to the once-humble animation studio. He had grown this empire just as...
...just as Henry said he would.
Joey remembers how all those years ago, he drove his friend and founding partner away. This was the man that made up Joey’s little dancing cash cow in the first place, and while Joey did so much for the company, he has to admit to himself that his studio wouldn’t have gone anywhere without Henry’s hard work and design.
And so, Joey decides to invite Henry to visit. But before he does, he sits down at the old drafting table in his modest apartment and does something he hasn’t done in decades.
He draws.
He writes one last story.
This story is about an ambitious cartoonist who started a studio with his best friend who he eventually drove away. Joey writes about how this ambitious cartoonist wasn’t satisfied with just making moving pictures, no, he wanted to take his studio to the highest ascension it could, to the point where he would be immortal. He would do this no matter what sacrifices had to be made. And it is this ambition, these sacrifices made without thinking of who is being sacrificed that corrupts everything in the studio, takes the soul from it, and expands it not upward towards the heavens, but lower and lower, closer and closer to hell.
Joey populates this story with people he knew and had working for him, just heavily exaggerated, much like how he exaggerates his less savory business decisions by writing them as actual demonic sacrifices that actually kill people.
-Sammy Lawrence makes it clear he’s just working for a paycheck while complaining about Joey the whole time? Joey makes him into a devout follower of Bendy, aka where the money comes from.
-His lyricist Jack Fain is a bit of a loner that keeps to himself but does his job? Why not write him as a minor lurker with his own little alcove far away from everyone else?
-Grant Cohen was frustrated with Joey’s budget-sucking ideas? Translate it to gibbering madness.
-Norman Polk kept to himself in the projection booth and cutting room and had a habit of lurking? How about we make him a wandering projector-headed monster that gets angry when you stand in front of his projection?
-Bertrum Piedmont was just as ambitious as Joey, but a bit far up his own ass when it came to his own genius and attractions? Why not literally stick him up one of his own attractions?
-With the two Alices, Joey thought that Susie was great for the role. However, some falling-out/scandal resulted in him having to hire Allison. But again, while she left on decent terms, while she was working there, Susie was a bit of a diva that tended to look down on and maybe even mistreat her fellow cast members, while still doing her job well enough to stay. But Joey never felt that she was quite...perfect enough for the role compared to Allison, and he had quite a few complaints about how she treated everyone else. Eventually he hired Allison back, and when he wrote his story, he decided to exaggerate Susie as a perfection-obsessed monster who rips into other people one second, but begs not to fall back into inky obscurity the next. And despite all the things she does, all the people (cast members) she destroys, she’s never quite perfect, and is eventually replaced by Allison.
-Allison, Tom, and possibly Wally (as Perfect/Frankenboris) are the three employees that he sees most favorably, and it’s possible that they were the longest-standing and most loyal employees. Sure, contractor/mechanic Tom was gruff and of few words, and custodian Wally was a bit lax and jokingly threatened to leave quite a lot, but the three of them were always loyal and did their jobs despite the nonsense that Joey made them endure. That is why Joey writes them as good guys for the most part, and why shining the lens on Allison and Tom shows a shining gold halo and bone respectively. They are the golden employees.
After coming up with them, Joey places his new characters in a twisted mockery of his own studio, making it more and more expansive and twisted as it goes down. But the story needed a good hook, a centerpiece for the action. In his apartment, Joey has an Ink Machine. Now I believe that in the real world, the Ink Machine doesn’t make monsters and ink demons. I believe that this smaller Ink Machine just literally makes ink. It’s a fad machine meant to increase productivity, a random idea that Joey had brought Tom in to help build. It did its job, yes, but it was also really temperamental, and extremely messy, with a nasty tendency of just spurting ink everywhere and even causing minor floods across the studio’s floor. Nobody liked it, and so when Joey writes his story, he exaggerates that initial minor failure that came from his ambition into the cornerstone of the story studio’s corruption.
And then there’s Henry. Because Joey regrets what he did to Henry all those years ago, as an apology, a peace offering, he decides to write Henry into this last story as the protagonist. Henry is the big damn hero, the man who goes through all the hardships and battles and waist-high ink with nothing but his wits and whatever tools are on hand. Joey knew that it would be a role Henry could play, because before he left, Henry was always the one to muscle through problems through hard work and persistence; always the one who worked through Joey’s own ambition fueled shortcomings to find a solution.
And so the story goes. Joey has his estranged friend return like the prodigal son to come save the day. He wades through the ink, the corruption, fights off the demons that Joey summoned in his greed. And at the very bottom of it all is the great Ink Machine itself, the vast empire that Joey built around Henry’s designs. And at the center of the Machine? The Little Devil Darling himself, the creation that started it all. Bendy started out so small and innocent, but through Joey’s actions grew larger and larger, more and more corrupted, until what’s left is a soulless juggernaut of animation.
Henry faces his character after all these years. He was there at Bendy’s original conception and creation, and so Joey decides that it is only fair that it is Henry who brings the Ink Demon to his end.
---
(note: Had to do a quick edit because I managed to mix up the Alices.)
So that’s what I think. TL:DR, Joey wrote the events of the game as one last story as an apology to his friend and partner Henry for driving him off all those years ago.
Now this doesn’t bring into play the yellow writing, which judging from some of it in the earlier chapters may have something to do with Story!Henry possibly being aware of his existence and reliving the story over and over and over again, leaving clues for himself. That’s a whole ‘nother meta layer that I don’t think I want to jump fully into, at least not without really seeing all the messages. But I think what I have ties everything up quite nicely, and I really like this more positive idea of Joey being successful but regretful and reaching out to his old friend with something that they used to do together.
Despite running into some issues (notably my save screwing up and having to redo a large chunk of Chapters 4 and 5,) I had a great time with Bendy and the Ink Machine. I loved looking around for its secrets, I liked looking at all the fun little details that were included, and I loved that I got into it soon enough to be part of all the fandom fun and speculation, as well as seeing how the devs just kept improving the game as time went along. The game had a unique flavor to it that I loved, and there were lots of parts where I, a horror-loving geek, did genuinely feel apprehensive (that giant fucking hand; good lord it creeped me out that I couldn’t look back to see how close it was when the boat was running).
So in conclusion, all I have to say is thanks.Thank you very much, TheMeatly. Thank you very much, Mike Mood. Thank you very much to everybody at Joey Drew Studios for this game. It was a wild ride, and one I was happy to go on. :-)
Just a heads up that I am completely and utterly ready to discuss the ending of Bendy and the Ink Machine with you if you’re still confused or upset by it!!
I have an idea of what the ending is supposed to mean, and it makes so much sense, so if you want to hear my thoughts, don’t be afraid to message me!
