I legit found this on accident but here's my take;
I do agree with Meatly in the sense that, yes, if you are introducing a bunch of new characters you have to develop them, and you can't do that while giving attention to your already existing cast.
The problem is...the new guys aren't developed. At all. How are you meant to develop a character over the course of one audio log in some cases? Bendy and the Ink Machine had the advantage of being released chapter by chapter, hence why we had time to speculate and draw gay fanart of the characters between releases. The fandom was able to form a connection to these characters in this way, and most had recurring audio logs, with the exception to this rule mainly being Lacie.
Compare this with the laundry list of characters in BATDR with singular audio logs; Lance, Angus, Archie, Hank, Bill, Grace, Kay, Dale, Jane, and Phil. (Correct me if I'm wrong, there are a lot.)
Single note characters include; Eugene, Hudson, and Telly. (Again, correct me if I'm wrong.)
I don't think I'm hurting many feelings by saying that nobody knows who the new human cast is, and that they are the most unnecessary part of BATDR story-wise. This is the exact inverse of BATIM, where we got invested because of the human cast amidst the cartoons.
Sure, Wally's presence was still in BATDR, and Grace even mentioned Norman by name. But the majority of veteran Bendy fans were hoping to see more of the old cast that we were already in love with. The new human characters rolled off incoming Bendy fans like hot sand, which kind of proves that they aren't needed unless they're fleshed out properly in future installments.

— ✨Of Kings and Warlocks
This was supposed to be a doodle but ✨colors✨ happened. I had an AU in mind for a story but- well, if ya can’t write it, draw it I guess. I really enjoyed painting the colors here!
Here’s a version with plain background :3

“I never grew up it’s getting so old” and “I was so ahead of the curve, the curve became a sphere” and “they expected me to find somewhere, some perspective but i sat and stared right where you left me” and “I have this thing where I get older but just never wiser” VERSUS “oh darling don’t you ever grow up”
like someone told her very early on not to grow up (duh) and so she didn’t and now she’s stuck. she cannot grow up. and she touches on this in miss americana but this theme of being left behind is so prevalent and so personal and so relatable

Watching the Spanish dub of Archer and I think I mentioned that Archer and Don have the same Spanish VA. So, Zara, the new character introduced in this season, is dubbed by Cristina Yuste and she's my voice actress headcanon for Carmen! So I get to hear Don and Carmen be snarky with each other.
