Blood and Ink
is a Worm and Bendy and the Ink Machine fanfic by NexusTheDark.
Cartoons never die, you know.
Stab them, crush them, burn them, disintegrate them with a physics shattering space laser. It takes something very special to actually kill a toon.
But even then, they don't mind it too much when it happens in the moving pictures. For them it's a livelihood, a job that's all about creating laughter. Why, a toon is the finest, downright loyalest friend a person could ask for. Always quick to turn a frown upside-down, lifting spirits and willing to do darn near anything.
Of course, if you happen to harm the friend of a toon... oh me, oh my, that would be a very dangerous mistake. They don't like liars and traitors, no siree. Why, stabbing a friend in the back is just about the most low-down thing you could ever do, don't you know? And if that just so happens to cause them some serious physical and mental trauma... why I bet they would be absolutely livid. Woe betide anyone who would make such an enemy.
Because as I said, cartoons never die. And for them, something as inconsequential as reality doesn't get in the way of one of the core principles of a good joke: Karmic Retribution.
And this gang? Well... let's just say they aren't your average bunch of cartoon characters. They've been burned before. They've tasted betrayal. And now the world is about to experience what happens when the ink begins to flow.
