Bendy's and Alice's relationship with each other theory
I don't know about demons, but if the two have demon traits that they play off of, maybe that's why they don't get along well. I don't know by they might be territorial you know like some animals get.

So probably in the past when Bendy learned of Alice Angel was a half demon, that he got annoyed by her easily. Cause he was there first, and he's a demon, maybe he thinks he should be the only demon. But since she's also half angel, I'm sure Toon Alice tried to teach Bendy to be nicer, and not play pranks on people or toons and that also annoyed him about her. Cause her kindness was keeping him from having some fun.

Cause you know, angels & demons are most likely natural enemies. So Alice having traits of both kinda made her cool, yet her good side was annoying to Bendy. Maybe kinda like a frienemies thing on the show.

And when she went crazy or whatever to make her kill a Boris on the main floor, Bendy probably fought her cause one he didn't like her (so he got a chance to fight her physically) and two she was a menace & murdered his best friend. He couldn't let her attack anyone else. And much to her dismay, he won the fight and allowed her to flee deeper into the studio since he couldn't kill her, so he could only deform her appearance. And ever since that fight, she's been afraid of Inky Bendy & aware that she can't fight him. lol I guess in a way he clawed some sense back into her.

Anyways that's what I think is why they don't get along, but it also could be that Bendy's character is very childish, so he acts like an elementary school boy towards Alice you know the "ew she has cooties" kind meanwhile she was probably made to be a mature woman to constant Bendy's & Boris's silly natures. Okay, I'm done now. This is what I think they don't get along, but seriously, they became real, so they probably gotten human consciouses as toons and we all know that humans are complicated emotional creatures, so they probably could have several reasons for not liking each other. But I might have named some.

This isn't canon, but theMeatly had done a Q&A once, someone asked if Bendy & Alice were dating, and theMeatly in silence looks at his camera, seemingly no response before moving to the next question. So to theMeatly, the creator of the game, Bendy & Alice aren't a couple. And why would they be if they can't stand each other? A couple fighting wouldn't be funny for a cartoon, so they are most likely frienemies on the show and became enemies in real life as thnigs went bad.

Be kind, and let me know what you think. And yes, personally, I do kinda ship Bendy & Alice together, but not strongly cause they'd probably buttheads more than goats do! But this isn't about shipping, this is about the real game, and their possible relationship towards each other.

It depends on which character Alice is supposed to be. Remember, Joey Drew is supposed to be this world's Walt Disney and Bendy is Mickey. Boris is both Goofy and Pete put together. Henry is Ub Iwerks. So who is Alice Angel supposed to be? Minnie? Daisy? Donald?

Well, there's also a lot of inspiration from Max Fleischer's cartoons as well: in fact, judging by her design and also by her toon's voice we heard from her song, she's inspired from Betty Boop.

Noooo, they are their own characters. Walt Disney was a business man that knew how to sell his products. He even made sure other less famous animation companies were hardly spoken off so he could take the credit for "new things" in animation when the less popular companies be doing it WAY before stupid Walt Disney! Did you even watch Game Theorists Bendy video? They discuss about Walt Disney drowning out other companies, it's clearly Joey Drew isn't Walt Disney, he's Max Fleischer!

I'm not trying to insult you, just informing you that there's more animation companies that Disney.

Thanks for the help, and I guess she's inspired by Betty Boop. But wasn't Betty Boop a girlfriend to what's his name...Bimbo? But she was turned from a dog to human cause she was attractive and it probably gotten them more adult views. I just understand the inspirations, but the personalities of the characters are more unique from Max Fleischer's characters. I'm positive from theMeatly's reacting to "are Bendy & Alice dating question" that the two were never on each other's good sides, but they were forced to work together until things went bad and the studio turned into Hell.

I quote a phrase from the Bendy wiki:

"Alice's design appears to be inspired by Betty Boop, a cartoon creation of Fleischer Studios from a similar time period to the game. They are similar in that they act as a beautiful and cheerful female character to act as a polar opposite to the other main character of the respective studio (Betty Boop to Bimbo, Alice to Bendy)"

Usually i don't take for granted the things they say on the wikis, but in this case i'll make an exception: just because a character is inspired (be careful on the word inspired) by another character doesn't mean it must be the same character. Betty and Bimbo were engaged in a relationship, so? That doesn't necessarily apply to Alice and Bendy: they could simply be completely opposites among each other without being in love. That's also one important aspect about conflict in every story. As for the personalities...well, the few clues we have about those are from the shorts, the posters and even from the official merchandise of Bendy and the Ink Machine. Here's a link from the various quotes from the official store:

These are the only hints we've got here about the cartoons' personalities and relationships...although we don't know if they are actually plot points or not :P

Well sorry for being mistaken but theMeatly didn't say that Bendy & Alice are a couple that's all I was saying. I'm not trying to kill any ships off, I'm just going by what theMeatly provided, that he did not say they were date or not. But he didn't answer the question, he moved on. So I guess that their relationship isn't good right now. But who knows, chapter 4, when we end the angel maybe things will improve. We don't have much of personalities from them cause Inky Bendy is constantly searching for us, and gives no backstory, while Alice gives some here and there, yet she is evil and tricks us into helping her out, so we can't tell what truth or lies she spoken and also the art work in the game are all fanart, so it's pretty much fan service in the game and we don't know if they have been on those adventures cause for new there's only 2 official shorts while Tombstone Picnic is editted together by a fan and uploaded as a short on some random channel that the Meatly most likely doesn't notice. If he did, I'm sure he would have uploaded the HD verison of Tombstone Picnic on his channel.

Plus we haven't gotten any shorts with Alice in them. We only know how Boris & Bendy interacted, not neither of them with her. So I'm sorry that most of what I posted might have been my view on the duo. But seriously, Inked Alice is afraid of Inky Bendy, or the Ink Demon, so we can guess that if they had a romantic relationship before then, that it's now dead from the torture they all suffered alone for 30 years.

Tombstone Picnic can be found in the Ch3 reveal trailer.

I think it would be cute if Bendy at least had a crush on Alice.
