Edward Tashlin was an animator hired by Joey Drew Studios after Henry Stein had left the studio's art department. Edward had worked in the art department as a lead animator and when the time of the ink machine came; he had been one of the first to be persuaded by Joey to be one of the first subjects to be transformed by the ink machine. "Ed, I know how much your job means to you, you've worked here your whole life to make people laugh and smile from the sights of moving characters, and just by the easy movement of a pen. Edward, I want to propose a great opportunity in your job and this company's future. I still want you to make those characters move but through a new lens of perspective." Edward had accepted the offer through Joey's persuasion and when the time came he became the first subject. However the ink machine had been in some of it's first generations and when Edward was set up to be transformed, he disappeared into the ink without a trace. Years later when the atrocities of the ink machine happened; he reemerged from the ink, his body nearly completely corrupted by the ink. While he wandered he learned of the horrors, as now a monstrosity wandered the halls, Bendy, the character he had learned to love and use for the entertainment of the public was now a corrupted entity from the horrors of the ink. Through tapes Edward finds, he discovers he must animate "The End" of Bendy. This is the journey of sacrifice, adventure, lies and the act of how one man did so much but so little. -Fanfiction- Properties of Bendy and the Ink Machine all belong to TheMeatly, and Mike Mood- the original creators.
