Stephanie and nurse bendy from Moral Orel

(They were actually supposed to end up together as shown in written and unreleased episodes..)

The episode “alone” was… incredibly dark and heartbreaking.
The fact that in her adult life, nurse Bendy acts like a bored/pissed off teenager… She’s a beautiful lady and unfortunately she gets taken advantage of and abused by nasty older men (doctor secondopinionson, principal fakey).
But when she comes home, she instantly lights up, and age regresses. She comes home to her “hubby” bear and “Sonny” bear, plushies. She talks in a little girl voice and uses childish words. But there’s still a veil of sadness over her, as she says grace, she says- “we all need people who aren’t mean to me, or that don’t act like they only care about doing.. dirty awful things to you. We need family because they care that I’m a real person, who has thoughts of sadness sometimes, along with happy thoughts. Or scared.. or aloneness thoughts. I feel thoughts of emotions, and I need people to know that” she gets choked up and comments about how her “eyes are sweating up a storm” :(

And Stephanie is my favorite character in Moral Orel. She’s gay, alternative, but she’s the most “warm” companionate person in Moralton. If anyone is going to love Bendy correctly and unconditionally, it’s gonna be Stephanie.
She canonically has “maternal pangs” that she keeps away by piercing herself, but Orel is right- she would make a pretty great mom

She loves being Bendy’s caregiver, loving her in a way no one else did. She loves watching over her little, caring and protecting her, keeping any “icky” sexual stuff far away when she’s regressing.
sex isn’t love. Love is how you treat others.
I don’t think there a more intimate relationship than a little and caregiver, there’s so much trust and your little is so so vulnerable when regressed.
