Any Hc about an AU where Bendy becames the Devil and having an interaction with Cups?
I personally hc if Bendy became the Devil, it'd be because Hat helped set him up/because he'd free the Cups by beating the Devil
-Personally I think Cuphead would be TERRIFIED if Bendy became the Devil bc now his soul is under contract to some other demon. Mugs would be wary but hopeful
-Regardless if Bendy knew about the contracts or not I feel like as soon as he found out he was in charge he'd get rid of all of them. Even without full context I can't see him wanting to keep PEOPLE as resources
-Mugs having a "I told you so" moment with Cup meanwhile Cup is stunned and also being hit with 5 million emotions. Which worries Bendy a little
-Mugs would be jumping and kicking his feet
-Hugging bc the Cups are freed
-However both of them are kinda worried about Bendy's wellbeing bc he's The Devil now and that has a lot of responsibilities and dangers
-Cuphead choosing to work as Bendy's bodyguard in case anyone tries to assassinate him
-I feel like while Mugs would always have Bendy's back esp if he's asked, he'd be running out the door to go live the life he always wanted
-I feel like Bendy wouldn't know what to do really. While he's learned a lot about demon politics all he's really wanted was to be a mechanic
-Thankfully, because of his relationships with angels, he actually manages to handle the angel side of things well enough
-Bendy overworking himself and then being dragged away from his desk to go rest
-Cuphead is incredibly wary of demons, which makes his new Bodyguard Role really awkward for awhile. He assumes the worst out of all them and eventually Bendy has to tell him off
-Mugs helps step in with things sometimes, he's actually the one that introduces Bendy to the underworld and what was originally the previous Devil's involvement, and how to handle dealings [or cutting people off] if he has to
-Whether Bendy should cut ties with the underworld completely is something he debated with for a minute, especially once the politics were broken down to him. Eventually Bendy decides to cut ties because he wanted to break the association of crime and demons
-Cup and Mugs calling out any demons on anything that they try to pull on Bendy
-Cuphear is free but he isn't really sure what to do with that especially since he feels like his best friend isn't in the greatest situation. Eventually Mugs promises to help keep Bendy safe and talk to him if Cup goes on vacation for awhile [it took a lot of arguing]
-Bendy thinks the need for a body guard is stupid, he's plenty capable of fending for himself! ... Until he nearly gets assassinated in his sleep and then he realizes that there's nothing wrong with having extra eyes for your blindspots
-Bendy would be immediately prioritizing how to re-integrate demons back into society and making their living situations better. He'd also probably start implementing laws against killing
-The Cups actively seeing how demons have been living bc of their work with Bendy and them having mixed feelings on it because of what they had to endure
-Mugs feels more empathetic and understanding about how things got to the point they did
-Cup on the other hand is angry and he's not sure at who
-The secret fear that Bendy is going to abuse his power like the Devil did [just him being in a position of authority] vs the realization they didn't have to go through any of the shit they did, nobody benefitted from the Devil's rule
-Bendy being fed up of either arguing with demons or arguing with angels or arguing with ppl on the surface about what should be done
-Bendy manages to find trusted ppl to handle things so he can actually have a cussing break
-Which would start being everyone's worry when they see how the work is stressing him out and making him tired
Originally this skin was going to be a normal 8 ball, but I couldn't figure out how to make something that looks like an 8 in such a small space
So I made him a magic 8 ball!! This also helped with his outfit because I could go with a magician/show man theme! I drew a lot of inspiration from Caine tadc
