Remember how I said this AU isn’t dead??? I decided Joey needed a few minor changes, so here’s his look going forward!

Thanks for sticking around! More updates to come!

WE AREN’T DEAD!

I’m returning to continue telling this story soon hopefully! Had to go on hiatus because of work and life.

Minor changes will be made to help further tell this story including less color, but it’s the same AU! See you soon!

I’m loving this au so far, I missed those ol bendy=Joey fan theories

Aww thank you so much! So glad you’re enjoying it! BatIMs’ got a very special place in my heart and the old theories always will. Joey being the ink demon was just one that stuck so this story just evolved as the chapters were released.

In the first rendition of this AU he was the ink demon, but that was way back in 2017 early 2018. The story’s almost entirely changed now so it makes me so happy to see others enjoying it as much as I do!

You're Joey? What happened to you?

P.1

“This voice will care

And care for many

A useful tool

That isn’t heavy

And til’ this voice is dead and gone

Please lend your ear to my sweet song

We thought you wise But here you stand

Fear corroded in your hands

So when this voice

shall Scream to thee

Its on your knees

You’re soon to be”

Do you have any friends in there or are you all alone?

Here comes the boy! ✨

So...Joey, why you are looking like a cartoon character that is falling apart?

JD: If I was fallin’ apart you’d be able to tell, trust me.

Avoidance.

Would you like pancakes?

I can put ink instead of syrup on them.

JD: I mean if you can find a way to get it here first that would be preferred.

Happy new year! Hope everyone had a happy holiday week! Here’s to 2023!

Liar.

Experimenting with typed text! Might not stay but we’ll see!

oh man! must suck to be named after that guy who had a workplace so toxic ex-employees managed to get several labor laws passed in the United States just by recounting their work experiences! anyway, do you prefer milk, white, or dark chocolate?

Hey mod X here! Just a reminder that Center Stage is an AU based around old BatIM theories from the before the fifth chapter era of the community. It may include some BatDR environments but it has nothing to do with its characters and storyline.

Also keep in mind that it is an AU, which does mean alternate universe. Characters, situations, and themes will not be the same, and neither will the plot.

Please don’t be discouraged from asking questions! Just a reminder for not just my blog but all AU ask blogs! Not every story follows exact canon!

He does like milk chocolate! 💛

So...who are you?

JD: Ok let’s just ignore the name, thing, that’s new.

[taking-center-stage]

Hello? Question: Is soup the only thing you can eat there? Also how tall are you?

JD: Honestly the only important thing about this conversation is the fact that it’s even happenin’. The dark puddles have never been intelligible before, just some screamin’ well of voices. That in mind I don’t think what I eat should be the priority question here… but yeah there’s crackers an’ other stuff around.

Hi everyone! Mod X here! I’m so so excited to finally start sharing this story with all of you! I’ve been a part of the Bendy community since a bit after its first release, so about mid 2017. At that point I started developing this AU and have kept going with it since then. It’s one of my longest ongoing projects and with the release of Batdr not long ago I finally decided to start putting it out there. If you’re interested in my main blog you can find me @x-likes-art! Center Stage is my pride and joy and I really hope all of you enjoy it as much as I do! 💛

As we begin our venture into the unknown, one must ask themself, how do we proceed?

Asks are open.
