So, this is sort of a... masterpost for a weird tag that will appear in my blog from time to time... or smt like that.
What is "Ink Frosted Brownies"?
Okay, so you know how practically EVERY BatIM-fanartist has their own headcanons about how Joey Drew Studios employees would look like back in 30-s/40-s? Welp, I got those too:
Not all employees are listed here, but it's a work in progress (I can promise to add at least Tom, Allison, Dot and Buddy to the main party in the nearest future).
I made several sketches with these characters...
(more of these in my VK group)
...as well as some comic strips and full colored stuff
Regardless, these guys is not what the tag "Ink Frosted Brownies" refers to.
Although I have my own view on what "Bendy" characters would look like in the past, otherwise I try to stick to the canon as much as possible. That's why I don't think that they need to be marked with a special tag.
What IS different from the canon is these two:
I just LOVE the idea of Sammy and Norman passionately hating each other. I know that in the game Norman stated that he finds Sammy 'crazy weird' and that pregame Sammy wasn't the most pleasing character at all, but something about them having a grudge against each other specifically... I don't know, I still kinda want to dwell on this topic but that's for another day.
Oh, and speaking of "passionately"... this word doesn't only refer to hate
Yeah, all the above is just a long way of saying "I SHIP THEM" and it's their ship name.
Why the "Ink Frosted Brownies"?
Basically, it's cause of their color pallets.
My Norman has a lot of brownish colors, so I accociated him with some kind of chocolate treat. Sammy's pallete is very pale, so he's like a kind of frosting. And since it's a Bendy-related thing, you HAVE to put the word "Ink" somewhere. Ink frosting. Β―\_(γ)_/Β―
And why make a post about all of this?
Firstly, I love my half-canon half-OC children (all of them). And I love talking about things that I love.
Secondly, I plan on a few things related to my versions of JDS employees and my version of Norman/Sammy specifically. I still want to put their origin story in form of a comic, and there's a cool song that I want to make an animatic to... So, I thought, it would be nice to make some sort of info post about what you are about to see from me.
Okay, so I was just now made aware of the word 'brownie' having a history of being used against POC. I swear I didn't know that when coming up with the ship name. Now that I know it's a slur, the name does sound very disrespectful. Which is why I decided to change it.
The alternative I came up with is Ink Devil's Food Cake. Devil's Food Cake is a kind of chocolate cake made in 1900s in New York City, so in terms of setting it's even more suitable than its predecessor. 'Ink Devil' part is representing Bendy and BatIM as a whole, and 'Food Cake' is now representing both Sammy and Norman.
I'm changing the ship tag here on Tumblr and will use the new one from now on. Can't edit all the old posts on other platforms, so they will have to stay the same.
I still care about this ship and am making content for it. I'm just not sure when I will be able to show it, so I can't make any promises.
hi guys im back on my bendy designs ummm hi bendy fandom ive been here before you probably remember me from this post about my au (still the same au just fixing it up rn ive got big plans!)
once im closer to done with all my designs ill be making a text post about the au itself with all the new added stuff !
characters in order are: Sammy Lawrence, Susie Campbell, Bertrum Piedmont, and Norman Polk
Oh, also, I almost forgot! Last year I commisioned my friend @echofrage several pieces of my favorite characters from different media. I don't think he posted them anywhere, but last time I checked he was okay with me doing that.
And so, I'd love to share these with my fellow fans ^_^
Please check out the artist's profiles (Tumblr, Twitter, Telegram), he makes great and atmospheric artworks and very skilled with backgrounds!
My ask with propaganda is not coming through, but this bitch will get into the poll if I have any say in this. So.

While we all wait for the inevitable Homestuck x Youtooz collaboration, I decided to imagine a possible collab plushie of Youtooz's de facto mascot - Rammie
Concept n. 1
β’ "Look, it's the main guy!"
β’ I dunno if Rammie is actually an heir of breath, I suck at classpecting
Concept n. 2
β’ Trolls are more recognizable
β’ He's a ram. He was asking for it
β’ Just ignore that he looks more like Tavros, it's Aradia I promise
Concept n. 3
β’ Always bet on Vriska, she's even more recognizable
β’ ...Yeah, that's it
Concept n. 4
β’ ...
β’ ...What?
Concept n. 5
β’ I call this one "A Compromise"
β’ Fake horns must stay fake even if you have real horns already
