Uhhhhh idk,,, small inky mystery and motm spoilers ahead me thinks... skip to the end if you wanna read the non-spoilers and instead the silly stuff
So like, i love mirrorshipping, and while im also currently obsessed with Gamblingcigarettes (Motm cup x Inky mystery cup) if i keep true to their personalities the best i can (which is not well because i have a habit of going out of canon for the sillies or cuz i want to) they'll never ever ever EVER kiss or be an actual couple..... so i gotta use the hallucinated versions of them instead!!!
Now a long time ago i had a little thing where "hey, what if bendy wasn't able to save Cuphead? What if Cuphead just fucking died during the labyrinth?? Permanently?????" And i finally drew it cuz younger me was too insecure about my art (still am) to even dare and try. Bendy was basically consumed by guilt and kept on imagining cuphead and his voice. He'd hear Cup mocking him, see Cup out of the corner of his eye, etc. And after a while, he just blocked out the memory of what Cup looked like, only left with vague things like "well, i know i had to really look up to see his face" and "he was a dish... had foam hair?... and maybe a coat or something." It didn't stop the hallucinations, or help Bendy from spiraling into insanity.
But like, idk if i wanna use that or if i wanna use like the one Cuphead saw in the mirror... remember when he had to like, choose between which version of his bro to shoot and like 'evil' adult him was just standing there being like "hurry up and choose dumbass" like..... djdjdjd
Like they're in a way the 'real' Cuphead, but also not y'know? They have fragments of their og personality, they have certain mannerisms, but they aren't real. They're just how someone else sees them. From a different point of view. A distorted one at that.
Anyway do you think Mr Big Grin over there would try smoking (cuz i imagine crackhead would do it from time to time) and then Mr I Don't Got A Fuckin Face would just grab the pack and shove it into his mouth (wherever it is) and then Big Grin would have to reach into his stomach and try to find it. Imagine if No Face had like, a void for a stomach. There's a whole bunch of stuff in there, you just gotta reach realllll deep to find it. Their form of kissing would just be pressing their faces against eachother. Staring into eachother's eyes (or lack of).
Also yes Cuphead's ribs glow don't ask why i just like it
