Ripping them a new one

What. The. HELL?! I can't even begin to describe the depth of my anger and sorrow right now.

The following profanity-laced rant represents only a fraction of my true feelings on this.

If you don't know what I'm referring to, I'm talking about the line to start episode 8, where Yakko and Dot say, in front of him, that Wakko is the worst sibling and they don't need him. Well, I thought it'd only be a line, but it turns out they did it MULTIPLE TIMES!!!

And then the stupid fucking cop out that feels like it's mocking us for giving a shit.

I was spoiled on this line over a month ago because someone talked about the storyboard leaks in the Animaniacs tag. Reading about it almost killed my fandom. Right there, instantly, my love for Animaniacs came this close to dying. It took me weeks before I felt anywhere close to where I was before in regards to loving this show. Why? Because the main and only reason I remain so attached to Animaniacs is the Warner Siblings' love for each other. What's the point in angst if there was never any love to test? What's the point in fluff if that love is hollow and empty, if it never really existed at all? Now, I'm glad I was spoiled and had time to recover. If I saw this bullshit raw, in the show for the first time, there's no telling what it would have done to me. I might have just stopped watching.

I don't care about Yakko's flimsy cop out. This is not what you say to someone you love. This is not something you say about someone you love, even if they didn't happen to be sitting right there. You realize what these words mean? They think they'd be better off without Wakko. THEIR BELOVED BROTHER. It's not so much that they joked about him dying and coming back. I can excuse that as sibling jabs, even if I would still hate it. It's that Yakko said he's always thought that their act would work better as just him and Dot. No, you didn't always think that. You BETTER not have always thought that.

Wakko has suffered emotional abuse before. He's been paraded around as the least popular sibling, as smelly and uncultured, as a gluttonous pig. Through all of that, what did he always have? His siblings, boosting him up, protecting him from the noise. Now the noise is coming from inside his family. That's unacceptable. There was one instance in the original that came close to this. When Yakko tried to sell Wakko in their Jack and the Beanstalk parody, because he gets less fan mail than Dot. That was still miles better than this. For one, it wasn't in their base reality. It was in a parody that would clearly be non-canonical. Second, Yakko didn't go out of his way to verbally abuse his little brother and try to make him feel less valued as a member of the group. It was just a hard necessity, as callous as it might have been.

Yakko would never say something like this. The thought would never even come close to crossing his mind. Dot would never agree to a statement like that. If she heard Yakko say it, she'd wonder what alien came in and replaced her older brother. Least of all would they say it right in front of Wakko, as if they're deliberately trying to hurt him.

It baffles me. It truly baffles me. Was this the writer's first day on the job? How do you go three fucking seasons and not know the first thing about the characters you're writing? The way Yakko and Dot are portrayed here is ten times more out of character than they've ever been written in any fanfic ever posted. Worse, this had to go through producers, storyboarders, animators, the showrunner, and they all looked at this and thought it was okay. I can't truly blame the voice actors, because they're under contract and have to do their jobs, but they should have known their characters well enough to know they would never say these lines. That they shouldn't say these lines.

I truly can't wrap my head around it. Where does this come from? What could possess anyone to think this is a good idea, even an acceptable idea, for even a single millisecond? Does it come from the Family Guy writing culture, where absolutely nothing is sincere, even relationships between friends and family? Do they just not know how to write sarcastic characters that also truly love their closest family members?

They had the audacity to claim they were listening to fan feedback for this season. Tell me, look at all the most popular fan compilations on YouTube about the reboot. Are they filled with moments of the siblings being cold and callous to each other, or are they filled with the opposite? How blind do you have to be to misunderstand the soul of your show and your fanbase so fucking badly? It almost feels malicious. Like someone on the writing staff had a bad experience with their own siblings and made it their personal mission to destroy and pervert the bond between the closest set of siblings on TV. I thought they were starting to get it right with season 2. Season 3, they had to look at what all the fans were saying and realize that they could go even further, right? Give us all the sibling fluff we could ever need? Instead they went the opposite direction. It's becoming clear to me that "listening to fan feedback" really meant listening to "Pinky and the Brain fan feedback." I don't mean to drive a wedge between certain parts of the fandom, but that's just how it seems to be. It's absolutely not the fault of any of the fans who talked about the show.

People will tell me to just forget about it, to consider it non-canon or as something the Warners had to do as part of the script. I literally cannot. Have you ever wondered why all my headcanons are so close to canon? I have freaking OCD. I need everything to be in order, I need there to be a way to make sense of everything together. I can't just ignore certain parts of the show and pretend like they never happened.

I can't even make angst out of this. I can't explain it away in a fanfic or with theorizing. This is the only thing in Animaniacs I can say that about. That's how unforgivably bad it is. It just goes so completely against everything about the characters of the Warners and the spirit of the show that it might as well be foreign to it.

This will affect me for a long time. Some might look at this rant and think I care too much. Yes, I care too fucking much. Look at my blog, for God's sake. Being aware of that doesn't change how I feel. Normally, I try to be courteous. I try to give the reboot the benefit of the doubt, because I truly do value many of the things it's added to Animaniacs. In this case, I don't care. Fuck whoever wrote these lines. Fuck every single person who saw them along the way and gave them their approval. Congratulations on a job well done. This hurts my heart and it will continue to do so for years to come, if not my entire life. I am devastated.

I'm a little sad the official soundtracks for the reboot took out some of the speaking lines in some of the songs, most notably the ones in the Ancient Roman Emperor and The History of the World because those two in particular, the speaking lines added to the song.

Plus it's just really odd to have these long, silent pauses smack-dab in the middle of the song.

And in The history of the world one, when Yakko almost says "shitty" it sounds sounds REALLY weird without the aliens' interruption there.

"We treated the workers real shi............................................................. [keeps singing like nothing happened]"

The one in ancient roman emperor is just funny as hell and I literally slammed my hand on my desk when they just skipped over it like how can you NOT include the "Um... We're still talking about Nero, right?" that shit was like half the reason that song was funny to me.

It's just a really odd choice to make imo.

#torra rambles #animaniacs #reboot soundtrack #it's just really odd sounding to not have the spoken lines #and in the big idea song too I legitimately thought my itunes had broken at the start because it's just #'you see................................................... ahem YOU SEE'#like... just take out the first you see or put back the spoken lines pls it's just weird without it #don't mind me I'm being nitpicky over silly things lol #it's just odd considering these are the versions people are paying for

🎉30 YEARS OF ANIMANIACS!!!🎉

Imma be real, it’s been a hot minute since I’ve posted anything relating to these funky little puppy children, and even though I didn’t get to finish a celebratory artwork, I just wanna put this expression of gratitude here at the very least.

Several years ago in high school, my geography teacher was giving out our first in a series of quizzes. Obviously, it consisted of labeling things on a map. He told us that we could get out of the quiz, but we had to do a bit of extra credit. He pulled up Yakko’s World on YouTube and I thought to myself “what the heck is this? I never saw this on PBS Kids”. If we could recite it all, then we could be exempt a quiz. I went home and watched the video that night, over and over, trying as best I could to memorize as much of the video that I could stuff in my brain. Of course the next day when the quiz happened I only got from United States to Haiti, but it was still fun to hear that catchy song, and I was still plagued by curiosity. What show was this? ‘Animaniacs’? Who are the mice? (holy shit “who are the mice?” girlie you have absolutely NO idea)

A bit later the reboot comes out and it’s all a-buzz in the animation community. I decided to check it out; I like rubber hose. I heard from an artist I followed online I should watch the og first to get a feel for the series, and lord was I hooked.

I resonated with Yakko a crapton ((who doesn’t?)) and I kinda wished for me and my younger sibs’ relationship to be as fun and carefree and the Warner’s. The show drove me to learn more about animation and to draw more, and I deeply appreciated the voice acting, and learned more about that too. Heck, I rejoined Tumblr because of Animaniacs (Pinky and The Brain to be exact). And some of the first people I reached out to online were also fans of the show.

It’s sappy and silly, but I love how this show has shaped me, and if there comes a day I don’t remember any of it, I at least will always retain the happiness and feeling of pure joy Animaniacs has brought me.

And now I have at least one unimpressive party trick to pull from my hammerspace whenever the topic of geography comes up.

Have a zany 30, Animaniacs.

SEASON FINALE TRIVIA !!!!!! this includes 23 and 24. i hope youre having fun :)

- yakko does the intro and says "welcome to just rolled with it the show after the show where we talk about how awesome i am :)" and hes right for that

- JUST GENERALLY PRAISING YAKKO FOR HIS PERFORMANCE AS ASHE. grizzly goes "i honestly forgot you were a guest player i just want you to stay here forever now"

- bizly and yakko the night before they recorded this episode were up late thinking about just . goofy scary things for the trickster to do. like what if the floor is lava but REAL. what if his ARMS GOT LONG. shit like that

- BIZLY WAS GETTING EMOTIONAL DURING THE SCENE RIGHT BEFORE ASHE FULLY TURNS INTO THE TRICKSTER. which is HUGE because its a running joke in riptide that bizly never gets emotional during character moments and grizzly is like. the big crybaby about it. polar opposites of the getting emotionally immersed in roleplay spectrum

- grizzly: "i know out of character we had to leave ashe here because it works for the story and also youre a guest and cant stay forever but in character, dakota would NEVER do that willingly. if circumstances were just a little different i think william and vyncent wouldve had to physically drag him out of there" :(

- OVERLORD WAS NOT ORIGINALLY AN ALLIGATOR. HE WAS NOT AN ALLIGATOR FIVE MINUTES BEFORE HE WAS REVEALED . OVERLORD BECAME AN ALLIGATOR THE MOMENT BIZLY SAID ".... i gotta do it"

- yakko: i kinda feel bad that i just one punch deleted the big supervillain thats been hyped up for the whole season

grizzly: no, look. we've been joking for like 5 episodes now about how our characters could never beat an alligator. and we were right!

- "it took a god to beat a gator" "i feel like youd see that on the front of a church in florida" "whats a king to a god. whats a god to a gator"

- condi: "hey! so the beginning of the episode! pretty wacky! remember when we fought whirlwind?"

charlie: "no. no i dont."

- grizzly: "i almost find myself sympathizing with the villains sometimes because we're just so annoying"

yakko: "every villain we've gone up against is just thinking 'man, these kids are LOSERS'"

- grizzly: "i genuinely never want to speak to mark again"

charlie: "if he breaks out of prison i will go to every length to put him back in. i hate him. i hate him so much" THIS WAS LITERALLT UNPROMPTED?!?!?!?!! WHY DO THEY HATE HIM SO MUCH. FREE MY MAN !!!!!!!!!

- when they first got into the room, charlie condi and yakko thought thetubes were gonna open and 4 regular gators were gonna come out to fight them. grizzly thought it was gonna be wavelength betraying them with the other lieutenants (AGAIN. WHY ALL THE MARK WINTERS HATE. I DONT UNDERSTAND)

- QUICK BACKSTORY RECAP BY GRIZZLY. basically verbatim to how hes saying it.

vyncent: is from another world. looked up to an adventuring party. (condi: the important part was the whole "monsters that dont look like monsters" thing)

william: theres a bunch of ghosts spirits monsters in deadwood and he and his friends were investigating them until one day he followed a wisp into a forest and fell down a hole and died and came back as a wisp and now all the monsters and ghouls are out to get him so he had to leave deadwood so his friends and family wouldnt be in danger (charlie: well when you put it like that it sounds so much lamer)

ashe: had a trickster book and the trickster killed his mom. idk why he thought that was a good idea. actually, when you got possessed by the trickster the first time, howd you get him back in the book? (bizly: theres more to that story you guys havent learned yet so im not gonna just tell you. you have to figure that stuff out in character)

- dakota: (from charlie this time) uhh your parents died and you take risks and jump off things and then one day a girl jumped off a thing with you and you grabbed her but then also died like william wisp because we like falling off of things and getting superpowers apparently so you fell off something and got superpowers and then you left the hospital before they coukd tell you anything and you ran into the woods where you met a strange old man that taught you how to fight stuff i guess (grizzly: i never actually wrote what happened to the girl in my backstory. bizly: because you wouldnt KNOW)

- dakota adrenaline junkie........ (grizzly: its worse now because he has powers and he can do all the things he used to and MORE. and SURVIVE)

- they all believe tide was mind controlled from the time he went to talk to whirlwind by himself after they beat him. bizly says he misspoke and described some things wrong, tide wasnt actually mind controlled until they were actually in the building. he kept rolling saves for him and every time he just rolled like garbage so he never broke out of it

- its a 2/3 split on how theyre planning to react to the heroes. vyncent and william are bitter about it because neither of them are used to living in a place with a lot of heroes so they dont know how all of this is supposed to work. theyre angry that the heroes never showed up when they needed them and the one time they actually do come its just MINUTES too late after their friend had to basically sacrifice himself to save them instead. dakota, who grew up in and around the city basically worshipping superheroes, doesnt understand why theyd be so angry.

- the reason overlord knew they were coming is because the gunman from the whirlwind fight got away. he instantly came back to overlord and told him to expect pd soon because they beat whirlwind

AWESOME TRIVIA FOR THESE!!!!! holy shit... trickster the floor is lava but real ^_^ horrifying thanks!!

ALSO REAL. THIS IS YAKKOS WORLD WERE JUST LIVING IN IT!!! genuinely probably i would have figured out the setup in 24 so much quicker if i hadn't just. Forgot ashe was a guest. i was like yeah man four of them. he just lives here now. i wonder what theyre setting up for because i dont think some big setup for one of the main pcs 2 have an insane sacrificial moment would happen!! ^_^;

I LOVE THE WIWI STUFF. fucked up x files gravity falls ass hybrid. head in hands. ALL of the backstory stuff actually esp. vyncents which is still the vaguest shit ever. shaking himmmmmm why is there an adventuring party in ur brain !!!!! head in hands.

#THE FUCKING ALLIGATOR SHIT. OH MY GOD. im stiilll not fucking over it man. god.#god. please tell me these kids get like. ONE NIGHT. ONE NIGHT in umm. probably a fucking hotel or something because the hall of elementals #is still not really livable & umm. well they wont be staying at marks! please for the love of god i need them all to have a really long hot #shower & a cry & cuddle pile. head in hands. i need to like open google docs about this or something.#anyway... aughghgh. have been thinkin bout this shit all day dude. fuck. also feeling insane about dakota + their reaction 2 the heroes #specifically. i think thats most of it. OK. DAMN i need 2 get this classwork done ok i think ummm. maybe ill start s2 to motivate me.#catkiss.gif!!#mac tag!#pd lb

Um you like Animaniacs.... What is/are some of your favorite moment(s)?

Oh boy! Great question. Potentially absurdly long answer.

As far as the Warners go, I LOVE when they get really good sibling interactions, and also basically any time they get to have nice or just really funny interactions with the humans in their lives.

This bit in “Hercules Unwound” when Dot is having an off day and Yakko offers to skip the cartoon because she’s not feeling it. They’ve already skipped a cartoon earlier in the episode as well. It’s cute to see Yakko and Wakko caring more about their sister than teaching a lesson to their “special friend.”

This very important sequence from Wakko’s Wish, AKA the cutest Yakko and Dot scene. Literally one of my favorite moments in anything ever. This movie is the thesis statement for like…..85% of angsty Yakko content, at least until the reboot.

Dot messing up her name in Cutie and the Beast, and Yakko and Wakko being little shits about it (bonus: Dot swearing like a sailor). It makes me laugh every time. Also hearing Yakko referred to as “Mr. United States Canada Mexico Panama” never gets old.

The “I’m Mad” theatrical short has it all. Peak Warner sib moments and the best Dad!Scratchansniff content. The Warners are from the late 20s/early 30s. They are OLDER than the Looney Tunes, if you look at their canonical creation dates. Seeing them getting to actually act like kids makes me feel emotions. Also Rob Paulsen is voicing HALF of the characters in this very chaotic song.

The entirety of Meatballs or Consequences, but especially this section. It’s so cute watching Yakko and Dot ask to stay with Wakko, and “are we dead, or is this Ohio” makes me laugh every time. And Jess Harnell is both Wakko and Death! I love hearing his different accents.

This scene from “Fear and Laughter in Burbank,” the OTHER angsty Yakko thesis statement. Do you wanna see an animated character have an on-screen panic attack and then almost have his soul eaten? This is the bit for you. I would LOVE to hear Rob Paulsen’s perspective of this moment, because it’s…a lot, given some of his real life circumstances at the time. Also here there be scary clowns, so if you don’t like clowns, skip this one.

“Yakko’s Big Idea” from the segment of the same name. I’m SO normal about this scene where Yakko is inventing the perfect world for him and his sibs to play in.

Drive Insane, especially the bit from around 0:30 to 1:15 seconds in this video. The Warners tormenting Scratchy by making people think he’s their dad is never NOT funny to me.

“It’s New Year’s Eve” from Hooray for North Hollywood Part 2. It’s so cute seeing them have a good time and be accepted by everyone, and it’s cute to see them celebrating Mr. Plotz. Just don’t think about how this fits into the last few episodes. Don’t. Look at Yakko giving Dot a lil kiss on the cheek instead.

Non Warner Segments:

Les Miseranimals is THE iconic Rita and Runt segment. It’s so good. This isn’t the whole thing, but I definitely recommend going and watching it all.

You could blindfold yourself and stick a pin in a list of Pinky and the Brain episodes and be almost guaranteed to get a great one, but Bubba Bo Bob Brain is one of the absolute best.

The first 30 seconds of this video includes probably my favorite Pinky and the Brain exchange of all time, from Wakko’s Wish

Honorable Mentions:

West Side Pigeons (Goodfeathers)

De-Zanitized (The Warners, and I’m only not including it because I could talk about it for about an hour)

Smitten With Kittens (Rita and Runt)

One Flew Over the Cuckoo Clock (Slappy Squirrel, and I’m not sure it’s one of my favorites so much as it makes me want to study Tom Ruegger like a bug because what the hell)

Literally every Chicken Boo segment, I’m not singling any of them out because every Chicken Boo segment is funny to me.

Lookit the Fuzzy Heads (The Warners and Buttons and Mindy, as well as a Tiny Toons Adventures crossover, shhhhh no one tell anyone that I enjoyed an Elmyra segment)

This is embarrassingly long, and I probably still forgot some. Everyone please watch this cartoon.

Inky Mystery Audrey AU 8

Part 8!!!

This will be the last part for a while. As you all know the babitim fic is LONG, and unfortunately I’m a busy adult having to do boring adult shit so I don’t have time to reread the whole story for the AU atm. If anyone has any questions about the AU feel free to send questions.

Now onto the AU!

Audrey ends up waking up after Bendy, Boris, Cup, and Mug get back from the hospital. Mostly due to Red yelling angrily over the cup brothers showing their faces to them after everything they’ve done. She leaves the room she was sleeping in and listens to the adults argue from the stairs since she’s pretty sure they’d shoo her out so she doesn’t listen to them fighting. She’d cringe a bit when Red snaps at her brothers for allowing Cuphead and Mugman around their little sister after everything they did, while Bendy and Boris try standing up for Cuphead and Mugman that they protected her the whole time they worked together. After Red storms out Audrey enters the kitchen where everyone finally notices her. Bendy sighs as he rubs her head and asks her if she heard all of that. Giving a timid nod as a response, Audrey looks at the two cup brothers. “I know you guys did a lot of bad things, and those bad things aren’t okay… But you’re not bad people, and I’m glad we’re friends now.”

Mugman would look like he appreciates that a lot, while Cuphead’s expression is a bit harder to read but Audrey would think that made him happy too. After they all catch up on everything that happened, and find the runaway voodoo doll that hid in Oddswell’s study, They all get settled into their rooms and Audrey finally gets a good look at the bed she woke up in but didn’t give much thought since she heard the adults arguing. There are three beds in the room. Two for her brothers, and a small one for her in the corner with a duck quilt on it. Next to the small bed would be a little round table with a new box of crayons and loose blank papers, and at the foot of the bed would be a small dress up rack with her one dress Holly and Alice got her hanging on it. Granny Gopher stepped into the room claiming she and the ladies in the house went thrift store shopping together to get some of the basic necessities for Audrey so she could have her own comfortable little space. Bendy and Boris would have to thank Granny on Audrey’s behalf while Audrey’s too emotional to say anything as she hugs Granny.

Next day, after everyone eats breakfast, Bendy and Boris go with Oddswell to help him with an experiment involving the ink illness, while Audrey goes to play with Dot as Granny keeps an eye on her in the backyard. Dot and Audrey paint each other’s nails, do a few jump rope games, Audrey sharing stories about Bendy to Dot, and dragging Yakko, and the Cup brothers, into a tea party. Mugman was far more willing then Cuphead, since Cup had firmly said no until Audrey used the puppy eyes trick on him, resulting in Cuphead somehow finding himself sitting in the backyard munching on a cookie with a cup of tea in his hand. He’s at first pretty pissed off over the whole situation, especially when Yakko starts singing obnoxiously loud and off key, but when he notices the muffled screaming coming from inside the house that sounds like Bendy having an ink attack, he realizes they’re trying to keep Audrey distracted. So he firmly plants his hands over her ears, acting like he’s sparing her from Yakko’s purposely bad singing until the screaming stops. Later Bendy and Boris come outside and claim they’re forming a rescue party to save Alice, who is apparently an angel.

Audrey would be a bit mad when she’s told she’s not coming with, but she respects Bendy enough when he firmly tells her it’ll be too dangerous and would prefer her staying safe at the house with Granny. Cuphead and Mugman even backed Bendy up saying they’d feel 100 percent better if Audrey stayed AWAY from Hat. At least it gives her time to actually take in the fact that Alice is an angel. It makes sense once she stops to think about it, but boy that’s a lot to take in. Thankfully she didn’t see Bendy, Cup, or Felix as a bloody mess when they rushed back to the house after fighting Hat to give Alice her halo back, Granny quickly wrapping herself around Audrey until the Blue Fairy healed them, but she’d still be a crying mess seeing her friend, hero, and brother unconscious and not waking up for two days. Boris would be doing his best to soothe her, and Mugman trying his best to assure her Cuphead and the others will be okay, until Bendy wakes up and can hug her.

With Oddswell telling them to take the day off and do something to help them relax, they all decide to go to the circus, all of them having fun, enjoying the show, and get to go see Mickey again. Bendy being less thrilled about that than his two siblings, but Audrey looks forward to saying hi to the bunny kids that she talked to before, and to see their dad again to give him something while her brothers are busy fixing up some things Mickey has that are broken. She’d be a bit surprised to see Oswald looking more cheerful and actually speaking. Even bluntly saying. “You talk now!”

Thankfully Oswald doesn’t look at all offended, just smiles a little as he kneels down and offers his hand to shake. “Sure do. Nice to, properly, meet you. Audrey right? My brother talks about you and your brother a lot.”

Audrey blushing a bit as she nods her head and shakes his hand, holding a picture she made up to him with her other hand. “I made this in case I saw you again, since you looked really sad before… You look happier now though so it’s okay if you don’t want it.”

Checking out said picture, Oswald sees it’s a drawing of a big multi-colored flower field with a bunch of blue bunnies scattered everywhere. Audrey claimed she tried drawing all of his kids but her blue crayon started to run out and she kept losing count. Oswald laughs as he rubs her head affectionately like he does with his own kids. “No way am I giving this back now, this makes me even happier. Thanks kid!”

That makes Audrey pretty happy, her being in a good mood during most of the meal as everyone eats and talks. Mickey gives her and Boris a lot of attention, and Audrey enjoys hearing interesting stories from the grown-ups. Unfortunately though Pete shows up at their table, and makes his son PJ read what he writes since he lost his voice from a curse made by a witch. Felix would keep himself firmly between Audrey and Pete while Boris is busy trying to keep Bendy from lashing out, but even her eyes would start turning red when Pete still accuses the three of them for burning down his garage.

Pretty much everyone else at the table would seem to pause as they process Pete's accusing Audrey as well, Oswald not looking impressed. “You’re seriously accusing a 6 year old of arson?”

They all still get kicked out of the restaurant, but as they’re walking out of the door, Audrey decides to get something off her chest. So she slips her hand out of Bendy’s hold, runs back to Pete, gives him a dirty look, takes a deep breath, and YELLS. “MOONROCK BRAINED CUSSFACE SCUM!”

The look of pure shock on Pete’s face is absolutely worth the trouble she gets into. Everyone except for Cuphead, who’d be wheezing from laughing, would gasp in horror at what she just said while Boris quickly runs to her, covers her mouth, and takes off with her in his arms before Pete can snap out of it. The minute Boris puts her down, Bendy would grab her by her wrist tightly enough where she can’t escape him again and scolds her angrily. “One rule! I have one cussing rule about swearing and you went and broke it, in PUBLIC! What the hell Audrey?!”

She’d say she wanted to do that for a really long time and she regrets NOTHING! Even if Bendy says she’s getting an early bedtime for a week with no desert. Still worth it, and at least Cuphead thought it was funny!

Though then the situation takes a bit of an unpleasant turn when Mickey gets outed for ignoring Bendy, and it turns out it’s because Bendy has the ink illness. Audrey would be silently horrified as Mickey implies that Bendy’s going to die. The way she views Mickey gets shattered as Boris yells at him. Bendy ends up carrying her while he has an arm wrapped around crying Boris, she’d feel like she’d want to cry too, but she’d stubbornly fight it as her eyes stay red for part of the trip back to the house. Cuphead notices and reaches over to wordlessly ruffle her hair in his own way to comfort her. She’d appreciate that but still be too angry and upset to say anything. The people in the house thankfully are doing their best to help her keep her mind off of it for the next few days, Snow White especially being quite helpful as she and Audrey bond. Learning that Mickey’s missing would be alarming to her though. She’s mad at Mickey, but she doesn’t want anything bad to happen to him. Felix would do his best to assure Audrey that the police will figure out what happened, but that doesn’t stop her from worrying.

And then they lose the Blue Fairy to an ink attack. Audrey had her hands tightly pressed against her ears when the screaming started until Bendy picked her up and held her against his chest so she could focus on the sound of his heart beat. Boris nervously rubbing her back until it all stops. With the Blue Fairy gone due to the Ink Illness, Audrey would be clinging to Bendy for the rest of the day. When it’s time for bed though, and Bendy’s in the middle of reading to her, Audrey interrupts him. “Bendy… Are you going to die?”

That makes Bendy freeze in place. He doesn’t look shocked, he looks more like he knew a verbal hit was coming but still taking it anyways. Muttering “Damn that mouse.” under his breath, Bendy would put the book aside and pull Audrey into his lap. “I won’t lie to you sis, there’s a chance… But I swear to you. I will fight tooth and nail, I will deal with the most painful attacks in the world everyday, if it means I get to stay with you and Boris.”

“This isn’t fair…”

Bendy’s hold on her gets a bit tighter as he rests his chin on the top of her head. “I know.”

Audrey ends up sleeping in Bendy’s bed that night. Way too upset to sleep in her own bed. Frankly Bendy wasn’t sure he would have wanted to let her go that night anyways, and it’s a damn good thing he didn’t when Alice wakes him up from Holly’s sleeping curse and is told that the cog has done something to her. It’s because of Bendy having such a tight grip on sleeping Audrey that Wiston was able to grab both of them and hide in the crawl space when Holly took Boris. Bendy is at first ready to panic when Audrey won’t wake up until Alice explains, and he quickly gives his little sister a kiss on the forehead to wake her. He’d be very relieved when her eyes flutter open and she looks around confused, asking why she and Bendy are covered in dust and cobwebs while their friends are surrounding them.

She’d stay at the house with the other house residents while Bendy and their friends go to stop Holly and save Boris. Bendy promises to her that he and Boris will come back, and tells her to stay safe with Granny and everyone else. Audrey would be anxious and nervous the whole time, until all the chaos that night is finally over, and her brothers come back after being released from the hospital. Audrey practically tackles Boris the moment they step in through the front door, glad her big brother is safe. When everything is explained Audrey would be worried about Holly and want to visit her, but Bendy would insist she waits until Holly feels a bit better, and suggests she makes a get well card for her. When they all go visit Holly though Audrey would INSIST she wants to come. Giving her best puppy eyes when everyone tries saying no.

Might be the first time Boris has a LITTLE regret teaching her how to do that since it’s the first time she used it on him.

Either way, she gets what she wants. Audrey’s taken along to visit Holly, and is there when Cuphead and Mugman pull their little stunt by “kidnapping” Holly and freaking everyone out. Bright side, at least when they find them Holly’s starting to come back to her old self. Audrey is thankful for that as she hugs Holly and tells her she missed her. Holly hugged back and told her she missed her too.

And now for fun facts!!!

-With all of them living in Oddswell’s house with other people with the ink illness, Audrey starts making a bit of a new daily routine. She wakes up, gets ready for the day with Bendy or Boris brushing out her hair, always runs to greet Felix at the door who gives her a big good morning hug, enjoys breakfast with everyone before working on her educational lessons with Felix and/or Holly, plays with anyone available or whoever she ropes into playing with her (Like Cuphead), draws for a bit to decorate her little corner in the bedroom as well as the fridge in the kitchen, and ends the day with Bendy and Boris tucking her in and reading her a bedtime story.

- She starts getting pretty spoiled by the ladies in the house, as well as Holly, Cala and Alice. Granny teaches Bendy and Boris how to brush Audrey’s hair better and do simple hair styles, while Holly, Cala and Alice get Audrey cute hair and small clothing accessories to play with. Snow White even teaches Audrey how to apply make-up correctly after Bendy busted her playing with the actresses make-up kit and tried apologizing to Snow. Thankfully she was understanding and sat Audrey down for a quick make-up lesson.

-Audrey at one point tells Snow White she reminds her of a princess, and Snow teaches her how to act like a princess. Even getting her a toy tiara to wear when she wants to dress up like one using the other women in the house’s clothes.

-While Bendy, Felix, and Cuphead were recovering from their fight with Hat, Audrey asked Alice that if she’s an angel, then why doesn’t she hate her and Bendy. Nearly breaks Alice’s heart as she hugs Audrey close and admits she wasn’t very nice to Bendy at first, but she learned that Bendy was a good person and could never hate him or Audrey. Especially after everything they’ve all done for each other. Audrey is glad to hear that as she hugs Alice close and enjoys her comforting warmth.

- While Mickey was cursed by Holly and was stuck as invisible and mute, during his time hiding at the house and waiting for Holly to show up, he gets hit with the guilt sucker punch when he overheard Audrey asking Bendy if he was going to die. Knowing it’s partly his fault for putting that worry in the little girl’s head.

-When the whole Cog-Holly situation is over with and Mickey’s visible again, when he goes to apologize to everyone, he’d also apologize for saying what he said in front of Audrey. Audrey would be a bit quiet at first until she speaks up. “I’m still upset with you… but I’m happy you’re okay, because you’re still my friend.” Hearing that would be a bit of a relief to Mickey knowing she and Boris don’t hate him.

- Audrey has officially decided she’s going to drag Cuphead into playing with her as often as possible. She likes Mugman, and she’s starting to like Cuphead but he keeps her at an emotional arm’s length despite her knowing he cares about her and her brothers a little at least. So whenever everyone else is busy, she sets her yellow eyes on him, and Cuphead HATES it. Especially when he can’t say no to her because Boris taught her the cussing puppy eyed look! Though to avoid Audrey trying to drag him into more tea parties, or worse, make-overs, he bargains with her saying he can teach her how to fight so she doesn’t have to resort to threatening to sink her teeth into someone’s nasty skin. It mostly consists of him showing her how to punch properly without hurting herself, but at least Audrey has fun and gets Cuphead to grin a little seeing how happy she is over learning how to defend herself.

-Felix and Audrey start getting rather close. He looks forward to when he comes over every morning and is greeted by Audrey wanting a hug from him. He’s especially touched when he stays at the house late and Audrey asks him to help her brothers tuck her in for the night. Bendy at one point thanking Felix for helping out with her and tells him he really appreciates everything Felix has done for them so far, though Felix would assure him it’s his pleasure.
