Boris And The Dark Survival - Tumblr Posts
my boy doesnt get enough love on here 😔 also yes i know his eyes look silly but thats genuinely just how i look when i zone out
There we got a boris!
Wonder why he's so sad
UPDATE:
There's been speculation that this title may be tied to Boris and the Dark Survival!! And, well...
Saw that apparently JDS has a new registered trademark and NO FUCKING WAY? LET'S GO?
Shawn Flynn (Analysis)
Let's talk about my favorite JDS weirdo!
We first hear Shawn's voice in Bendy and the Ink Machine, but Joey also mentions him in Illusion of Living in passing.
Joey mentions two things here, firstly that Shawn does "an excellent job." I know Joey lies more than a kid caught with their hand in the cookie jar, but considering the fact that JDS is held together with duct tape and rubber bands, I'm inclined to believe him here. After all, how the hell could they keep up with demands (so much so that the Alice dolls were overstocked) if the foreman fucked off constantly.
Joey also says that Shawn's "creativity knows no bounds." Makes sense for his position, but also helps confirm that Joey does think highly of him in terms of his work. On a personal level, though, maybe not so much.
Based on Joey's insistence for perfection, we can infer that Shawn, like many, was just trying to do his damn job, and Joey blew his lid when things weren't exactly to his liking.
Shawn also mentions that the Alice merchandise wasn't selling well, and offhandedly proposes that they may have to melt the remaining stock down in order to get rid of it. Pretty self-explanatory tape, all things considered.
(The Bendy Wiki also mentions that he has a Dublin accent. I am not at all an expert on ANYTHING Irish but I did find out that Jacksepticeye is from Offaly, Ireland (Midland/East Ireland) and Dublin is also part of East Ireland, so...I'm assuming this is correct.)
There is also an easter egg with the Seeing Tool in BATIM written over Shawn's audio log, though this is mostly a nod to his voice actor.
Anyway, onto Boris and the Dark Survival.
In BATDS, Shawn mentions that he bought a new belt, (a one-of-a-kind toolbelt apparently,) and it was stolen immediately the next day. The perpetrator was a Gent employee, and they very brazenly wore it around right after stealing it. We aren't sure who this employee is, that's mostly speculation. But I don't think that's the point- this odd anecdote represents some of the first seeds of distrust being sown between JDS and Gent employees.
This brings us to Dark Revival.
Funnily enough, I find Shawn's departure from the studio much more interesting than his actual time employed there.
Firstly, Shawn mentions that Joey took it well when he decided to leave. Between the shift towards Gent's experiments and new technology, the funding from Gent, and the sudden irrelevance of having Bendy merch going out in droves, it's possible that Joey just didn't care.
Shawn also seems to give zero fucks about Joey's opinion, based on his Dark Revival and Bendy audio logs, which I find fucking hilarious. Not the first disgruntled employee, but certainly the most confident when faced with Joey himself.
He mentions wanting to find a cabin upstate, see some open sky, and start anew with his family. Overall it seems like leaving JDS gave him a more hopeful lens on life.
But the MOST headscratching thing about his parting audio log is the last few lines;
"But before I go, I've made one last toy. A little parting present for the factory lads. Let's see how long it takes them to find it."
We never hear from Shawn again, so we have NO IDEA WHAT THIS MEANS LMAO. Leave it to Shawn to be mysterious for no apparent reason.
However, there is a possible connection to be made. In the Heavenly Toys area, there's a factory output sheet slapped on one of the walls.
The last column mentions a "Bendy Starface Stuffed Toy", which we've never seen presently. There was only one ever made, and after that it was immediately discontinued.
I don't know why it would be listed at all if Shawn did leave the Starface Bendy as a gift, so this may all be a dead end. (I'm also aware that this might be a "Scarface" reference, although I really don't know what that has to do with anything.) Regardless, I find it a weird coincidence that Shawn left a single toy behind, and Starface also seems to be a completely unique Bendy toy.
TL;DR Shawn Flynn is cool and might have left an Among Us plushie at the studio for his co-workers
When three minds share one body, arguments are bound to happen, even if all other people hear are growls.

Calling all my BATIM lovers >:)
Hey guys! Quick update before I get into what I’m making this post for:
I apologize for the delay in works being published :( I’m working on the Dr. Sherman headcanons, and then the Kinito oneshot is next!
Howeverrr
I’ll soon be writing for Bendy and the Ink Machine! I can’t wait to start writing for this game! Feel free to go ahead and put in your requests!
Love y’all! <3
Would you write Henry Stein x Child Reader in a familial way? I have no other way to phrase this, I'm sorry. I just want to read more of Henry acting like a dad to other characters.
A Creative Compromise: Henry Stein + Child! Reader (familial dynamic)
Summary: Joey Drew’s kid won’t stop bothering Henry, so he decided to compromise.
Character(s): Henry Stein - Bendy and the Ink Machine franchise
Warnings: None :)
Genre: Fluff!
Author's Note: Thanks for the request! I watched a gameplay of BATIM a couple days after you submitted your request, and I totally see him being such a great father figure, lol! Hope you enjoy!
Word Count: 373 words (sorry it’s so short! T^T)
“Uncle Henry,” they pouted, tugging at his pant leg as he tried to work. “I’m bored… You gotta play with me.”
Henry sighed, taking a moment to close his eyes. Joey’s kid had been hanging around the studio a lot during work hours now that school was out for the summer. Despite the kid only being in kindergarten, they could be pretty rowdy.
“Look, kiddo,” he began, rubbing his eyes, “your pops is my boss, and while I’d love to run rampant around the studio with you and give Sammy a headache, I really can’t.”
He paused, taking a closer look at them. “And I can tell that you’re sleepy.”
“No…,” they whined, rubbing their eyelids, “no, Uncle Henry, I’m not sleepy… I just wanna play…”
Henry sighed. Stubbornness was a quality they’d obviously inherited from their father.
“Alright, kiddo,” he began, turning his chair around to face them, “how about this—you can sit in my lap and watch me draw, and we can chat, but I can’t get up and play with you. How about that?”
“Um…,” they hummed, “okay.”
“Alright, c’mere.” Henry reached down, lifting the kid up into his arms and setting them on his lap before turning back to his work and picking up his pen.
“Bendy,” the kid said, pointing to the little ink demon on the paper.
“Mhm. Yeah, that’s Bendy. Is he your favorite?” Henry asked them.
“No,” they shook their head.
“Oh? Then who is?” He asked them.
“Boris. He looks like my dog,” they replied.
“Ohhh, okay,” Henry smiled, continuing to draw. “I like Boris, too.”
Time went on, and about thirty minutes passed before Henry looked down to realize that Joey’s kid had fallen asleep in his lap.
“Huh, looks like you got them tuckered out. Just in time, too, I’ve gotta be headin’ home,” Joey smiled, his hands on his hips.
“Oh!” Henry looked up at his boss. “Hey! Sorry, uhh, here’s your kid.”
Henry lifted them up, and Joey took them into his arms. “Nah, it’s fine. I know how much they like you, anyways. I’m surprised you were able to get them to fall asleep, though! How’d you do it?”
“Oh, you know,” Henry chuckled, “just a lil creative compromise.”
