Let’s be honest: Bendystraw is a feeling.

More than just a simple ship, it has passed from “generation” to “generation”, from AU to AU ever since both games have existed, growing alongside the fandom itself. The number of people who support it is large and remarkably consistent.

It’s true that the current dynamic between Bendy and Cuphead in MOTM isn’t the most “ideal” for a relationship, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be developed over time. In fact, that very tension and the possibility of change are what make many of us see real potential in them.

On top of that, the creators themselves, Nort and Fly, have mentioned that they could maybee make a ship canon if the fandom truly asks for it and shows strong interest. And within the MOTM fandom, Bendystraw is clearly one of the ships with the most content, support, and genuine affection behind it.

That’s why, as a community, we would love for it to be considered as canon. It’s something many of us ask for with real care and a sincere desire to see it grow within the story.
