Just thought you should know.
Boris the wolf!
I dunno about you but Boris has always been a favorite character of mine.
He's, perhaps, the most prominent cartoon dude besides Bendy and Alice.
In Chapter 1 we see an "imperfect clone" of him strapped down and mutilated and in
Chapter 3...we see a whole lot more.
Boris the Wolf is quite the glutton for punishment!
But judging by his personality...he's not exactly into it.
He's a little bit shy, a little bit afraid, but most of all he's a loveable dude who
doesn't stray far from his passive, happy go lucky nature.
Or...does he??!
Indeed Boris the Wolf is a wolf-man buried in question marks and wrapped in an enigma.
I'm saying we've got unanswered questions, people!
There's the trivial questions like why does he love bacon soup so much?
And then there's the juicier ones like why was he chosen to be our basically useless
sidekick for Chapter 3?
And most of all...WHY HAS HE BEEN CLONED SO MANY TIMES???
The obvious answer to that last one is because Alice wanted to harvest his inky organs to
make herself beautiful...it did take "so many of them to make her so perfect" but
what if I told you it goes deeper than that?
What if I told you that Boris the Wolf and his many, many copies tell us far more about
Bendy and the Ink Machine?
It's all fascinating stuff.
And you know what else is fascinating?

Now back to it!
We were talkin' about Boris, so let's just back in feet first.
Decades have passed since Henry left Joey Drew studios...we've only been able to piece
together a sizeable smidgeon of the grander picture that is the real story...but Boris
the Wolf holds in his gloved hands a secret that threatens our minds with the sharp, stabby
sword of TRUTH!
A truth that ties together the story of what happened before and gives insight into human
nature itself.
Think I'm being dramatic?
Then put on a white shirt, squirt some ink on it, then draw a pentagram and then erase
it and then redraw it as a bunch of weird lines and stuff because that's what they
did in the remastered chapters and PREPARE YOURSELF.
FOR THE STORY OF AN UNASSUMING WOLF TURNED INTO A MEME FOR WHAT IT MEANS TO BE HUMAN
WITHIN THE WALLS OF HELL.
THIS IS THE STORY BORIS THE WOLF...THE STORY...you never knew.
First things first let's talk about what we know.
We know that Boris is a Wolf.
We know he's a chill dude.
A solid start.
But as far as his deeper meaning is concerned...we must dive deeper.
We've covered the basics of Boris' personality but there's something strange going on here.
Remember this studio has been quite the clusterfuck for the last few decades.
And remember we encounter Boris at the end of Chapter 2 just kind of wandering around.
Is it so farfetched to say our beloved Wolf has been wandering these halls for a long,
long time?
What would such a fate do to someone's mind?
To dive deeper into the enigma that is Boris...let's rewind a bit.
We see Boris in all kinds of posters advertising the animations he's starred in.
There's Sheep Songs, Hell in a Handbasket, Showbiz Bendy, and more!
More importantly, however, is Boris' representation in the fully animated cartoon shorts sprinkled
into the lore of this game.
An interesting example is "Haunted Hijinks" where Bendy finds Boris just chillin and doing
his thing...which makes for the perfect opportunity to become a spooky ghost and scare poor Boris.
BUT WAIT! Boris dawns his own costume and spooks Bendy first!
What a guy.
Not to mention in Tombstone Picnic we see Boris snarl at Bendy after getting popped
with a champagne cork.
He goes back to eating pretty soon after but such flashes of anger are unseen throughout
Boris's entire representation throughout the game chapters.
Nothing you do bothers him and when danger is afoot our derpy side-kick only cowers in
fear.
Snarling in anger and beating Bendy to the spook-punch are...out of place behaviors for
Boris the Wolf.
Really, anything involving assertive behavior is unusual for what we know about Boris.
He's unapologetically passive throughout the games...so much so he basically becomes
a damsel in distress getting captured by Alice.
Whereas in this animations...from long ago...Boris had a bit of a kick to him.
An edge.
He didn't want to ruffle any feathers unless his feathers had already been ruffled OR they're
about to be ruffled.
This is the true nature of Boris the Wolf.
But now Boris refuses to ruffle any feathers whatsoever.
He's a shadow of his former self because of years within the walls of inky hell.
Tragic I know.
Now let's take another look at this mass grave of Borises in Chapter 3.
Don't you find it odd that our good wolf is the large majority of cartoon characters
whose organs have been harvested?
We do see butcher gang members who met the same fate but they just aren't as numerous.
There's simply far more Borises...and the question is why?
Surely an answer to that will enlighten us on the gnawing secrets hiding behind those
innocent eyes.
Sound reasonable?
Great!
Because the answer to why there are more Borises can be found from how the ink machine actually
works.
Surely there is a method to the madness that is 3D printing cartoon characters into existence.
And we must identify the crucial step within that method which makes for so many kind wolves.
So what gives??
Well we know these bodies that become characters don't just come out of nowhere.
They originally were real-life homosapiens who got inkified by Joey Drew's gross, weird
creation.
Which means somehow the ink machine decides who becomes what.
Most likely this is an automatic process.
The machine decides which character most closely matches the person inserted and in turn converts
that person into the character most similar to them.
In previous videos you might remember we believe Joey Drew is the ink demon, himself.
This is because Joey's creepy, manipulative and downright evil personality is a perfect
match with the demonic bendy.
And obviously Susie Campbell is Evil Alice.
Her bitterness from being replaced by Allison cuz Joey is a horny douchebag was enough for
the sorting hat within the machine to decide...this bitch is Evil Alice.
And it, of course, decided that Allison would become Good Alice.
Then we've got Tom...cleary the machine decided his mind resembled Boris' but also
decided that Tom had enough of a unique identity to him to allow him to retain a part of himself
and therefore make a new take on Boris the Wolf.
Tomris!
Although he still goes by Tom.
Anyway.
This all points back to that question...why so many Borises?
Well by now that might be obvious.
If it's not...let me spell it out for ya.
All these dead cartoons used to be employees at the studio right?
That means the ink machine decided these folks were a match for Boris!
And a few of them matched the Butcher gang.
And so Boris the Wolf's personality reflects the personality of most of those who worked
at the studio.
We now have an in depth understanding how the employees of Joey Drew studios used to
be.
Most of them were passive, non-confrontational, and not crazy unique in their personality...otherwise
they would have become a distinct version of Boris rather than a generic, imperfect
copy of him.
They were...by all accounts, a reflection of your average Joe who isn't a dick.
The ones were were dicks became butcher gang members.
Remember these people ain't no eccentric personality, they aren't special snowflakes,
and for the ones who became fair-minded canines, they were kind enough, minded their own business
unless trifled with, and they were down to poke back only when the world intended to
poke at them first.
And of course...a few of those studio members are more like the Butcher gang.
Aggressive, angry, willing to lash out at a moments notice and all around just ain't
great.
There's always bad apples.
And so when we look at the array of characters spat out by the ink machine, we see a spectrum
of personalities which reflects the spectrum of human nature itself.
Bendy the ink demon... cruel and deceptive...a lawful evil, the projectionist...determined,
willing to attack but only when threatened...a chaotic neutral, Evil Alice Angel...bitter
and resentful...a chaotic evil, Good Alice Angel, brave and kind...to those who deserve
it...a lawful good.
The butcher gang, out for whatever they can get and simply want to be mean because it's
easier to get what you want in the short-run when you have no regard for others….a neutral
evil.
Then we've got Boris...unassuming, down for whatever (within reason), but is willing
to poke back if provoked...a true neutral.
Otherwise he wouldn't be the majority.
He is the culmination of the most common aspects of humanity...otherwise he wouldn't be the
majority.
Indeed Boris the Wolf...is your average Joe.
Your regular Jane.
An honest reflection of the most common human personality traits distilled into one rather
neutral wolf.
There's no shortage of Butcher Gang members, there's the occasional Ink Demon, the rare
Evil Alice, the extraordinary Good Alice, the unique Tom, but most of us...are Borises.
And that's a beautiful thing.
And so how tragic is it when Alice kidnaps the perfect Boris.
The one who went through so much in bitter loneliness and also at our side and the who
so exactly reflects the commonest human image.
How dare you Alice.
HOW DARE YOU TAKE HIM FROM US AND CORRUPT HIM INTO A MONSTROSITY FILLED WITH RAGE.
No doubt this is symbolic of how evil can corrupt even the purest of creatures.
It can corrupt even the purest version of the human mind.
A MIND WHERE THE MOST COMMON POSITIVE ASPECTS OF HUMANITY ARE SEAMLESSLY INTERWOVEN TO BECOME
OUR BELOVED BORIS.
And so next time you see this unassuming Wolf know you're staring into the eyes of the
many.
But as pretty alright as they may be, the individuals within the sea of people you encounter
everyday can always be corrupted by someone who aims to hurt.
It's this poetic truth which stabs us in the heart when our perfect Boris is snatched
away and returned to us as a homicidal abomination.
That's the story of cartoons mirroring human nature.
A story drenched with positivity cuz Boris is the closest representation of most humans
and Boris is pretty cool but also it's sad because evil corrupted him and therefore can
corrupt us.
That's the story of Boris the Wolf the story...you never knew.
And...that's my take on Boris!
He's quite an interesting dude wouldn't you say?
Maybe you never expected Bendy cartoons to be tied into human nature but that's because
you've imposed limits onto yourself about what's allowed to be considered.
Anyway if you liked this video, let me know your thoughts down below.
