This is a archive of Hailey-Senpai's BaBTQFTIM (Bendy And Boris The Quest For The Ink Machine) comic dubs-which exclude any spin-off, announcements, or anything that does not fall under the cannon of the online series. Years before Hailey-Senpai's passing in a accident; Hailey would make multiple videos voice acting online fan-comics from Tumblr and publish them onto Youtube. On February 10th of 2017, a early build of Bendy and The Ink Machine was publish, which sparked a wave of let's players and gamers to play through the game and want to see more. The game had a stylistic choice of old yellowed cell animation, and would feature a living cartoon character of a demon known as Bendy. Around the time, Cuphead-a game that had been in development for 5 years-would release on September 29th, 2017. Cuphead had heavy usage of hand drawn animation within the platformer. It was heavily popular with player and was noted for a having a high difficulty curve for newer players. On April 7th of 2017, a online artist know as "The Great Rouge" would make a blog on Tumblr with the handle of "thebbros". The first post was of character descriptions along with a backstory for a alternate universe with famous cartoon characters-along with the video game characters of similar styles-of all eras in a urban fantasy of sorts. 2 days after the initial publishment of the blog, Hailey-Senpai would voice act the comics. Within a span of a year, the comics would frequently be in a state of hiatus until August 2nd of 2018 when the most recent page made by The Great Rouge was publish. Hailey would eventually catch up with the series on February 10th of 2019, marking it the last dub she would make on the series. Despite the long hiatus and moving on to different comics to dub; Hailey planned on working with multiple voice actors and would premiere a trailer for a movie on May 20th of 2020. The description underneath reads as follows,
"That's right! It's time to make a movie! I wanted to make my last BABTQFTIM video a big one. One where I was proud of not only my voice, but many other talents.
I'll be holding auditions soon if any people would like to try their knack at voice acting :)
I'll be sure to update you all as soon as I can".
On May 16th of 2021, Hailey would publish a video of herself reacting and giving commentary on a selection of her older videos. On of which happened to be her first episode of BaBTQFTIM. She criticizes herself throughout the video, calling out her lack luster performance, her sudden pausing in the dub, letting Youtube automatically select a thumbnail for her, her poorly drawn illustration of herself in the end cards, and profanity during the start of the video. On August 1st of 2021, Hailey would explain why her film was taking so long. She tells her side on, saying that many voice actors of varying experience would audition. But she soon came to realize the difficulties of managing a group of voice actors and their inconsistent response time. She announced her abandonment of the project and apologized. I'm unable to find any recordings of the actors as Hailey never published any on her channel, but that's assuming if they we're recorded. During 2021, news would come out of The Great Rouge's pedophilic actions online. Hailey would then make a statement online in her Youtube community section.
"Hey y’all, just wanted to make a statement clarifying where I stand with the recent criticism of blogthegreatrouge and her comics.
For starters, I do not condone how Rouge portrayed issues like sexual assualt, suicide, non con, and pedophilia in her comics starting back in 2016. Rouge’s actions in her art back then do not align with my morals.
As someone who has voice acted her comics before, I understand that it is important that I say that.
I take full responsibility that I didn’t recognize these issues when I was first introduced to Rouge’s comics, I was about 13-14 years of age (just old enough to be on the internet) and wasn’t comfortable with the themes presented to me, but didn’t think that it was wrong as no one else was calling it out. Being that young, I shouldn’t have voiced those comics and introduced an audience of equally young viewers to content like that. As I got older, I did add trigger warnings where I could when I knew what could mentally hurt some of my viewers (primarily in BABTQFTIM).
I just wanted to say that I’m sorry for not realizing the issues that potentially hurt people because I allowed people to see those comics that had triggering and unhealthy scenarios through my videos.
I promise to be more advocate more for positive and healthier portrayals of important issues, as mental health and helping sexual assault survivors is an important issue dear to my heart.
If the videos I published of Rouge’s art show these types of unhealthy portrayals, they will be deleted from my channel. It is wrong of me to profit off of that type of content and it taking so long for me to realize this.
Once again, I am so sorry for being a part of spreading this type of influence, due to my own arrogance."
Hailey would then get her first Youtube Copyright Strike in 2022, in which she would make her most recent and last video on her tackling the problem. She would then make her last recent post on her community tab,
"@everyone hey y’all! It’s almost the end of November and Christmas will soon be upon us! Something I’m trying to work on is a Christmas Special video to kind of look back on old videos and projects to reminisce, I can showcase some new projects for the next year and some new merch ideas that you can look forward to! Another thing I’d love to do is a segment that’s like a “words of wisedom” where you can leave your advice/comments for the next year down below- then I can showcase them and credit you as the great philosopher 🤓"
During December, friends of Hailey would notice her inactivaty, and soon news from a personal friend of hers would tell of her accident.
"Ryo told us of the tragic incident because, they felt we all should know. So, Thank you Ryo for telling us of this... Hailey Senpai was tough, and a huge role model.
She endured acts of multiple people harassing her, and bombarding her on social medias about the BABQFTIM comic, and when she’ll dub the next part(s).
I made a post about this a long while back, that was featured, addressing this issue... Even through all that she made her way to the top, and became one of the most beloved, and adored people in this community, with & without dubbing BABQFTIM. She proved that she is multi-talented, and that BABQFTIM dubs did NOT define her.
The last posts she uploaded on her YouTube channel was this video “Baby’s First Copyright Strike”. Where she addresses getting her first Copyright Strike from YouTube.... she addresses that she was working on a Christmas Special, new Merch, and so many other new projects for the following year … this year.
However, she never was able to complete these dreams.
Marking this the last time anyone would ever hear of Hailey Senpai again.
Much like the person in the comments of the Community post said 'If there’s a specific dream you’ve been wanting to do, but always say every new year — DO IT NOW!!'. We’re never promised tomorrow. So please everyone, live life to the fullest. Live life doing, and trying to achieve your dreams. Hailey Senpai unfortunately could not, for her — do it now. Reach for the stars, and do whatever it is you dream to do, and want to do. You’ll never be promised the chance to do it, so
Do. It. Now.
While you are still here, and still have the opportunity to become whatever you want to be, and achiever whatever it is you want to achieve.
For Hailey, we live. Live for her. Dream for her.
Do it for her." - Mia, a online user mourning the lost of Hailey-Senpai in a Amino App post for BnB: The Quest For Ink Machine
This archive was made in case of Hailey's channel become deleted and lost. While I am publishing Hailey's most well known work, I believe her other videos should be remembered as well.
