Please Don't Blame Yourself.

Please don't blame yourself.

Honestly speaking, I think that to some extent I started it all.

In fact, Andres was the second marine toon. And considering that he almost immediately appeared next to Lolligo since they are both underwater guys, maybe people somehow misunderstood it? And that's why this "trend" appeared later. I dunno, but I am very embarrassed in front of Blott. I don't want a good character to get hurt in any way because of this.

Okay. So i've been kind of wanting to say this for a long time because i've noticed a couple of things...

I've noticed that ever since my mutuals and I drew our characters together... People have been wanting to make ocean characters/versions of their characters out of nowhere. Which is fine. Everyone can do what they want, and it's honestly a fun idea to draw sea based characters!

My main problem with it is that people are seeing it as a 'trend', and I don't want new people coming in and thinking they could just 'hop on the train'.

The reason why this upsets me is because it will harm me and my story. I don't want new people to come into my blog and just think Lolligo is a.. "Kraken version of the ink demon"

When he's not, he's more than that. He actually has lore, and a reason why he is sea based and why he is a Kraken. And I don't want people to think that i'm just part of this 'trend'.

I know it shouldn't upset me the way it does But I can't help but I get this pain in my chest. I'm just thinking about all of my hard work going to waste just because people are viewing this as a 'trend'.

Also, know that this is not me gatekeeping the idea of sea Inspired character/aus. People can do what they want. I'm honestly happy to see that people are doing more ocean based characters!

I am just concerned that the majority of people who are doing this are doing it because they saw us do it, and they have no real reason for making the character like that...

I feel like an asshole for feeling like this.

But it just generally concerns me because I don't want all of my hard work going to waste...

This was supposed to be something between friends not open for people to just everyone.

I was looking through my old drawings with Bendy and found one funny (I'll leave the drawing at the bottom). So I sketched out a new version of the ink demon cowboy

:D

(little warning here, has a bit of implied gore in this)

So as some of you may know, Stoli works for a private investigative company, ran by an entity who calls itself Angel.

Now one night, basically the same as any other, Angel was up sorting through different case files. He would have an employee of his come into the office and inform them that something had been found outside of the company building and no one knew what to do with it.

Intrigued, since no one could really tell what it was, he would follow the disturbed (and strangely excited) employee to the front of the building.

There, they would find a demon.

A poor mangled demon, that was basically strewn across the steps leading up to the large doors of the building, where Angel now stood looking down at it.

They'd be able to tell what it was by the horn that was left and general face shape, with the wide eye that stared up at him in the darkness, the rest was too soaked in its ink to really be recognisable in the gloom of the night.

In that moment of shock upon seeing this grizzly sight, instead of horror Angel would see it as an opportunity. An, albeit disgusting, little opportunity. Because upon examination this demon was young and still... fairly functional despite the clear damage.

So, Angel would scoop the shattered form up into his arms and take the demon into the building and, after making sure it was capable of signing it's employment papers of course, worked on repairing what was left of the demon.

I won't say much and add as I think I agree in many ways. At first it was unexpected and I was very happy, but then I began to wonder a little where so many marine guys were coming from. After all, there are a lot of inspirers of the real world besides the sea.

I also realized that Andres probably became something like "what if...", especially since he was constantly with the "ink demons". In general, the fact that he is NOT a BENDY OC and the fact that the orca was chosen for a reason for him was lost and he becomes another version of the demon (At least I felt it.)

If anything, I don't want to offend anyone. I'm just saying my thoughts.

Just as a fact, Blott. I do not perceive Lolligo as a Bendy. He's too cool to be just a version of the ink demon.
