Jax Chungus Edition https://m.youtube.com/shorts/HBeRqkWNn-0Prev:>>151730904
Shrimp Town is REAL and I will visit one day.
renmei theory and tron theory > SOMA theory
its real...
She's taller than Jax
>>151736040make undertale au music again
i will drawfag anything for money for maid jax
>>151736055She is not ahhhhhhhh!!!!!
>>151736001>SOMA theory>TRON theory>Renmei theoryCaine is LITERALLY Bible Cain and Bubble is Satan, the Circus is Limbo, the cellar is Purgatory, and the VR headsets cause a fake satanic raptureAlso funnybunny is real
>>151736088>digitsAlso wtf was that face even for?
>>151736027>Shrimp Town is REAL
>>151736055my peenus can only be so erect
>>151736055To be fair, we only ever saw the art at her door, which does not give a clue at proportions.Many assumed Ribbit was the same kind of furry as Jax, thus having similar body proportions.But just look at the size of her head compared to Jax.
SOMA/Digital Clone theory is discredited by the fact that the other characters don't talk about also wearing headsets imminently before coming into the circus. They should all remember this and if Caine is suppressing this memory in all the others, why does only Pomni remember?
>>151736088Eh, bored now. Lets do Shutter Island theory. They're all loony bin inmates that have been hooked up to an experimental VR therapy program that prods at the issues that they have buried under layers of self-denial.The people that abstract are actually ready to face their inner demons the way Jax nearly was in this episode.
>>151736027wouldn't it be kind of fucked up if we all lived in houses that were modeled after behead torsos?
>>151736027Shrimp Town is the surface of the sun, it’s a punishment for trying to leave Caine (you boil alive until you abstract).
>>151736088Funnybunny is the craziest claim you’ve made.
>>151736178Ragatha Butt is the most interesting topic.
>>151736152When Jax said none of them were C&A employees, he also questioned how putting on a headset would stick them in stasis pods. Nobody gainsaid him.
>>151736178That's just Matrix theory with a coat of paint.
>I can’t take this headset off>Keep grabbing at it that worked for ALL of usEveryone remembers a headset. Pls stop speedwatching.
I was thinking a bit and if anyone in the entertainment industry was remotely competent there would be plans for a Digital Circus movie already underway. But because everyone with power in entertainment is out of touch or simply apathetic to everyone under the age of 30, it hasn't happened. Maybe we'll get a prequel movie in a decade after the shows peak relevancy like the Minecraft and FNaF movies.
>>151736329I think there's gobs of money to be made by making a wildly popular serialized show and then capping off the series with an in-theater only 2-hour long episode.
>>151736297Gonna use oil based paint, cause the wood is pine.
Jax may have gone through some shit, but he's still an asshole that deserves everything that happens to him and more
>>151736329It’s already what it should be
>>151736302Clip?
>>151736040why does pomni seem to innocent with her mocking tuba
There is no way outCain can change people's minds and personalities on a whim (e.g. jax being vegan) because they aren't real people.They are either copies of real people's consciousness in a SOMA style twist or they are A.I. that are just programmed to think they had human lives before their creation.That's it, that's the reveal.
>>151736398One minute 24 seconds into the first episode.
When it comes to Jax, Kaufmo, and Ribbit, I like to think their relationship went like this:The three of them were best friends with each other, doing adventures together, and being regular troublemakers (but it the sort of loveable scamps sort of way).One day, during one of these adventures, Kaufmo (and maybe Ribbit) express their desire to leave the Digital Circus by any means. Jax, on the other hand, doesn't want to leave the circus; either having a terrible life or no real friends in the real world, he'd rather stay and mess around in the circus than go back.Tensions rise between the trio—Jax and Kaufmo calling the other selfish for placing their desires over the others' needs and wants, while Ribbit tries and fails to keep the peace. Jax even goes as far as to claim that he cared nothing for them, merely seeing them as playthings for his own entertainment.After that, Ribbit abstracts (quite likely due to being unable to handle their crumbling friendship), and Jax and Kaufmo's friendship is irreparably damaged. Sometime after, Kaufmo himself abstracts, and Jax is left with no one now.
>>151736418Jax didn't actually want to be a vegan though, it wasn't a personality or mind change it was that he literally couldn't eat animal products. That 100% falls within the idea of a "temporary modifier"
>>151736398That's episode 1 man
marry and reproduce
>>151736443Can I reproduce with someone who isn't jax
>>151736438Scratch probably didn't want whatever happened to him, either. Not sure why you think that matters.
>>151736454No, you will knock up his bnnuy bussy and be happy about it.
>>151736443With who?
>>151736461There's literally no evidence Caine can change someone's personality or mind.
>>151736443anyone with this many tattoos and piercings is infertile
>>151736436Jax has a lot of pictures. Who knows how may times he's dealt with this.
>>151736443Jax already irrecoverably fumbled this. No pussy forever.
>>151736443Sex isn't part of the circus but Caine didn't state anything about generating children for the humans. Let Rags be a mother....
>>151736493He can have Caine pussy
>>151736487are you sure? how do you know that Caine didn't change your mind about this?
>>151736487Go to sleep, Caine, you're bluescreening.
>>151736491Thank god there's pills for that.
>>151736425>>151736440Still, you'd think they'd have pieced for of it all together if that's true
Rabbits are prey animals. Maybe Jax was on the run from predators/abusers when he ended up in the circus.
It's not SOMA it's Pony Island they're literally soul trapped in a video game, those other snowglobes are other instances with other souls trapped in the circus. It ends with breaking all the snowglobes and all the worlds getting connected.
What if it was all real
>>151736397I agree, but I also think you could make more without detracting from whats already there.From a business perspective this series should be a surefire money printer in an age where the internet is increasingly monopolizing younger generations.From Gooseworx's perspective being given money and creative freedom to make more content with your original IP isnt something I'd personally turn up. Its not like she'd HAVE to make soulless garbage that ruins the existing series.
>>151736525Based
>>151736524that's stupid
>>151736530There’s a bee doodle on Abel’s matrix blueprints, sorry anon your theory is DEAD
HOLY SHIT THERE"S GOING TO BE A CONTINUATION LOOK AT THE CAST
>>151736535Why?
>>151736402maybe she was asked to do it
Funny bunny fags are losing hope LMAO, its overhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hfTUagFCrMthe ship is dead
>>151736530>bee doodle>"poor Caine is as much a prisoner as all of you!">"Caine is such a DEVOTED actor!">"you should spend time with Caine!">"you can leave but poor Caine can't!"Nope.
>it’s soma>it’s the matrix>it’s tronIt’s actually The Amazing Digital Circus, you fucking dunderheads
>>151736562because jax is a predator/abuser. there's more evidence he wears diapers than there is he was any kind of victim of anything.
Pomni would be so much cuter if she took off that stupid hat.
>>151736487He clearly states that he can do so, but only does so temporarily. He also states that if he "did anything more, it would not end well."I'm not saying that Caine does so regularly, or even at all, anymore. He sounds properly contrite about said consequences. Just that he CAN, and has in the past.
>>151736557>Emoe>Doh'boy>Trex>Quackle>Banannie
>>151736582Why is she hitting the 67 pose???
>>151736531But thats exactly what will happen.
>>151736573Incorrect unfortunately. And it makes me so fucking mad. I hate how popular their ship is. And there’s nothing we can do to stop them.
>>151736582The hat is meant for her to wear when people cum in it anon
>>151736580No I disagree. He’s a sad and broken soul. Textbook traumatized and abused. I will be vindicated.
>>151736592killed by frog pussy
Every Jax ship sucks, with the exception of Ribbit because it’s so undefined you can imagine something good.
>>151736598his soul is broken from being a cunt all the time
>>151736601Its the only one that knew Jax without the mask
>>151736557Why do you have that crappy trex figure? Go get some quality models.
>>151736613Low quality is way funnier
>>151736601Doll hands posted this
Jax is a scumbag who deserves no ship, he deserves no clussy, he deserves only sadness and anguish.
>SOMA shitShut up and discuss something actually important. Will Pomni ask Jax or Ragatha about Ribbit?
>>151736636Deserve’s got nothin’ to do with it
>>151736625They should make more vintage dinos like retro edition stuff, its far and between.
>>151736639Jax will be completely ostracized from the group for pushing the button and Pomni will ask Ragatha about Ribbit.
I love media where a character who's incapable of not putting on a fake persona gets called out for it.
>>151736601Gator hands posted this.
>>151736055Jax is kneeling in the picture, dummy
>>151736598Jax may be "traumatized" but he's still a gigantic dipshit that's rude to everyone all the time, even people that don't deserve it like Gangle and fucking made it impossible for people to leave. He deserves nothing but the worst.
>>151736687They will never get it or are simply baiting.
>>151736687>>151736694Ribbit and Kaufmo are the ones bending down
>>151736443>Lmao no way fag.
>>151736689One of the reasons i like Jax is i hope to see him grab the dragon by the balls and face adversity at one point, its logical conclusion.
>>151736689no but you dont get it he has a sad backstory so he can be as mean as he wants>but he bullied Gangle and had her scared as fuck at timesnooooo lalalalalalala I cant hear you, he has a sad backstory lalalala
that caine+jax date made me think, looks pretty easy to sweet talk caine into giving the players (almost) anything they want.
>>151736707
>>151736713Yeah the show hasn’t done an amazing job of showing why they can’t befriend Caine to make their lives easier.I’m willing to just assume that he’s too autistic to help properly but I haven’t seen the tactic demonstrated.
>>151736713>Turns out they only had to ask.
>>151736713they didn't get anything from it though
>>151736726This shot confirms Pomni is White btw
>>151736713>>151736725Because they want more normal adventures that mimic real life and Caine won't do that because they aren't fun to him
>>151736725They probably have and got told something similar to when Zooble wanted the sex update.
>>151736573Oh anon, you seethe so much every thread.
>>151736599Dead frog.
>>151736689Yes you’re right. He coped in all the worst ways and became a piece of shit, which is his fault. He probably doesn’t deserve redemption. And yet…
I feel like Caine would make adventures that they enjoy more if they always mentioned whatever they liked the most in the last adventure to positive-reinforce him into more of that.
I relate to Caine because I want to make Ragatha happy but I’m powerless to do so.
>>151736152They all know about the headset and putting it on. Pomni isn't the only one that remembers, they mention that they all put it on. The only thing that isn't explored for everyone is how or why they were in the building to begin with.
Stupid sauce induced sexual intercourse with Ragatha!
>>151736557I'm reminded of the Sense of Right Alliance.
>>151736779Don't just casually lie on a guy's crotch without permission.
I need Ragatha to headbutt me in the dick
They should just tell Caine about the internet and promise him that they'll plug the circus into it if he lets them go.
>>151736789its okay because she doesn't see him as a man
>>151736577Okay yeah but what is the amazing digital circus
>>151736808Kek
>>151736711He presumably faced adversity many times desu like everyone else in the cast. And instead he picked the worst option every time of shutting himself away from everyone else, he deserves nothing but the worst and hopefully gets no pussy ever
>>151736040>>151736402We can go bigger.
>>151736809It’s when you smonk and goose is working clowntime
>>151736835>and hopefully gets no pussy ever
>>151736835Jax seems like the kind of guy who has had casual high school sex at least once.
>>151736854>POGGERSH!
>>151736838how much bigger...?
>>151736639noi am proud so many people played it
>>151736898if you look very closely you can see rabbit ears somewhere
>>151736929I never played it and never will but I read the plot synopsis on Wikipedia and found it to be very depressing.
Ragapom
If Jax works really really hard he can earn his way to the friendzone.
>>151736945Depends on your perspective. Simon was pretty lucky, all things considered. He was terminally ill and got a second chance at life that ultimately lead to some version of him living in paradise. But it forces you to accept a lot of brutal truths about consciousness leading up to that.
Would Caine let the players leave if they promised to get him chicken tendies from Raising Cane's? They have almost the same name!
Im just like Jax. im insecure, I push other people away, im a misogynistWhy dont women like me the same way they like him? Is it because theyre stupid bitches?
>>151736898Bigger.
>>151737030Jax is tall
Sex with Ragatha
>>151737016He didn't though. He died. One of his clones is enjoying the ARK, but he died long before then.
>>151737020Sure, why not.
>>151737020I don't think Caine has ever experienced gustation the same way we humans have.But if he does, he'd come to the conclusion that chicken tenders from Cane's are quite mid and not much better than McNuggets that he can get from Spudsy's/McDonald's.Two Raising Caine'ses opened up near where I lived within the last year and I'm not entirely sure why, they're not that good.
>>151737088>they're not that good.
>>151737016There's no transference in SOMA, it just makes a copy.
>>151736055If only she were fatter too
>>151737058Yeah, but the story isn't about the Simon that died on a hospital bed. It's about that clone still managed to not only survive past his own death but past all of humanity. All because that first version was willing to give himself up to research.
>Finally catch up on Episodes 5, 6 and 7 after putting it off >In Ep 5, Pomni talks to Jax for all of one minute during the stargazing segment and suddenly it seems like she's the only one here who realizes he actually has feelings>This leads her to be the only one who seems to actually enjoy talking to Jax at all, and even the only person who finds him funny on top of being the only person not to vote yes to put Jax in a humiliating maid dress after seeing how upset the vegan thing made him>By the start of Ep 6 Pomni's also shown as the only one who goes out of her way to hang out with Jax>Jax in turn is the main reason why Ep 6 was arguably the first time that Pomni was able to fully enjoy a game/adventure from start to finish, since they spend the whole game actually talking and doing gags with each other like with the singing to annoy Zooble thing>This trend would have kept up between them, but Jax suddenly remembered MUH TRAUMA and forced himself to try and piss off Pomni to protect himself from muh feelings and from falling into the same "trap" he did with frog girl>The entire Ep 6 argument scene as a whole between those two as a whole >In Ep 7 the only reason Jax basically doesn't kill himself is because Pomni asked him to come alongI don't usually do OTP shipping shit with my shows, but... Pomni and Jax's relationship... it's so peak...Also lmaoing Ragatha's gay ass crashout
>>151737113>It's about that clone still managed to not only survive past his own death but past all of humanityWhose gonna tell him?
>>151737125did you miss the last 3 episodes because you had a massive stroke and were in a coma?
I want to kiss and cuddle Ragatha
>>151737020>>151737088for me, it is Slim's Chicken
>>151737102There's no transference, but it's still a continuous stream of consciousness. The weird irony is that the willingness of the first Simon to accept death is what ultimately allowed the final version to survive without ever realizing it.
>>151736577>dunderCaine is so much like Michael Scott so much it hurts. When Abel said “make the right choice,” the red button was on the right side from Caine’s perspective. Beautiful visual storytelling.
>>151737160>accept deathThe first Simon wasn't accepting death, he was agreeing to something that had a slim chance of saving his life.
>>151736601Detachable hands or whatever posted this.
>>151737130What's there to tell me. I watched the post credits.Simon made it to space. Simon died on earth. Long live Simon
>it was all a dreamHe used to read Word-Up magazine?Salt-n-Pepa and Heavy D up in the limousine?Hangin' pictures on his wall?Every saturday Rap Attack, Mr. Magic, Marley Marl?He lets his tape rock 'til his tape popped?Smokin' weed in Bambú, sippin' on Private Stock?Way back, when he had the red and black lumberjack, with the hat to match?
>>151736660That’s one proud papa and miserable mama over there.
>>151737160>but it's still a continuous stream of consciousness.No there's not, the clone thinks they're the original when they're not. It's a continuous stream of consciousness in the same way if you pause a movie go home and watch the same movie from a different file on a different device but start at the exact timestamp you paused is. Which is to say, it's not actually.
>>151737179>he was agreeing to something that had a slim chance of saving his life.No, after he got scanned and before he died, he volunteered to be used for research. He'd accepted he was going to die at that point, he just wanted to help others.
>>151737141I was mostly just busy and didn't bother to check in any sooner. Too many other shows to watch and whatnot taking up my time.
Somafags are going to be so wrong when the shows comes to an end.
>>151737256I guess it depends on what goose thinks a soul is
>>151737217>It's a continuous stream of consciousness in the same way if you pause a movie go home and watch the same movie from a different file on a different device but start at the exact timestamp you paused is. How do you know that's not happening to you right now? If God paused the universe to go grab some popcorn and started it back up moments later, how would that affect you?
>>151737264How do you know the universe wasn't created five minutes ago with the memories of your supposed past implanted into your brain pattern at the moment of your creation?
>>151737285Yes
Speaking of SOMA, how do you think Simon the brain damaged Canadian would handle Clown Hell after he shows up in it as an old timey diver man?
>>151737053Sex with Ragatha and making out with Gangle.
>>151737256whatever the ending is, it'll have a thousand different theories and interpretations so everyone wins either way.
>>151737264simulation theory is boring because it doesn't matter. it's just stupid shit for stoners to jerk themselves off to like roko's basilisk We're talking about a piece of media that does exist and the things that do happen in it. Not someone's actual personal lived experience. In SOMA there is no transference, it's explicitly a lie where the robots dont even know they're robots even though everyone else can see they're robots.
>>151737291He'd prefer it over hiding from AI slop monsters, but like anyone he'd probably get sick of it eventually.The only way to fix the circus is to allow the NPC's to become sentient and get a mini civilization going
I don’t think the last two episodes are gonna spend a lot of time explaining sci-fi logistics, technology, or lore. It’s just not that type of show.
Yeah I believe in the SOMA theory.I theorize that I want SOMA that Pomni ass in my face pronto dicimo, ya hear me?
>>151737348I doubt it takes that long to explain what the circus actually is and how people get there, what abstracting is, etc. the show is also heavily influenced by Evangelion which itself isn't hard to explain what's literally happening once you take away the visuals.
>>151737303That would require the ending to be ambigious like Sopranos for example.
>>151737348What type of show is it? It's not just a wacky comedy. It does have some serious overtones.
>>151737304>simulation theory is boring because it doesn't matterSimulation theory matters when you're trying to describe what a stream of consciousness is. You can argue that the real Simon died on a hospital bed in 2015, but every Simon still acts and behaves the same as that Simon would have whether it's transferce or a copy. I can stream a movie to multiple devices, but the movie still plays out the same
>>151737291He would try to kill Caine and end up making things infinitely worse for everyone.On the plus side, he might unironically be too stupid to abstract.
>>151737348Do we have a character in the show with experience designing the digital circus?If so, then we're going to get some scifi lore drops soon.
>>151737394>When we still cant scientifically grasp soul or the higher plane.
We’ve had Chris and Zach cameos. Next up is Cory, predict his character
>>151737394Anon, there is no interpretation to what happens in SOMA. The copy is intentionally meant to think it's a both the original and a human which are both not true. You literally see one character who's just a mass of wires fused with a wall who thinks they're just a normal human. The game constantly beats you over the head that the clones are not the original and that their memories are fake and that there is no stream of consciousness between the original and the copy. You're trying to interpret things that are explicitly spelled out to the player over the course of the game and have no ambiguity. Your statements have the same weight as those retarded "what if everyone in rugrats was actually dead and they were in purgatory" creepypastas.
>>151737412Uploads can coexist with the original. They're different people.>>151737424An NPC in Bubble's first shot at making an adventure.
How many days till E8?
>>151737412It's a thought experiment portrayed in scifi.It's meant to explore the implications and consequences of those theories.
>>15173743495
A possibility I hadn't considered before just now: Soulkiller rules. Using the headset kills you. Whether it kills you by transferring you into the VR world or kills you then uploads a clone of you will go unanswered, the important part is that there's no escape because their/their templates' bodies are dead, found by the cops, and buried.Kinda goes with the "Jax was looking for a place to kill himself" theory now that I think of it.
>>151737432>>151737437Im loathing the fact that we still cant. We lost the balls
>>151737453>Kinda goes with the "Jax was looking for a place to kill himself" theory now that I think of it.Ah yeah when I'm thinking of killing myself I go looking for random headsets to put on hoping they're actually instantly kills you devices
>>151736040Kys Keno.
>>151737450Shit.
Plotfags need to get a big wet stinky shart all over their tits
>>151737471>implying C&A's abandoned office isn't a popular suicide spot like Aokigahara
>>151737480That's kind of hot
>>151737486>sir we found another person who killed themselves by putting on the kills you headset attached to this computer in an abandoned building>damn thats crazy take the body and leave the computer on i guess
>>151737429>The game constantly beats you over the head that the clones are not the originalYes.>and that their memories are fake Yes.>and that there is no stream of consciousness between the original and the copy.Up to interpretation, if there wasn't a purpose to maintaining a continuous stream of consciousness they wouldn't have built the ARK in the first place, it would just be a floating storage device with no one to experience it if having a clear history and identity attached to experience wasn't important to the project.
>>151737424We had Lyle, too. He was the fudge monster in episode 2.
>>151737424>>151737506We also had Tomar as the narrator in some of the trailers.
>>151737504Motherfucker, the uploads are just clones. Their memories are also cloned.
>>151737424>Cory is in the next Helluva Boss short. He summons Verosika and he woos her over at a McDonalds dinner date.>TADC Cory is a sock puppet user that screams before Caine deletes him from the memory of the circus. he has a strange stain at the end of his nose.
>>151737504Anon are you retarded? There's no stream of consciousness.
>>151737519The McDonald's dinner date is a Dave thing.
>"Caine: IF YOU TRY TO LEAVE IMMA BLOW THIS VR UP"
>>151736152Literally in the pilot episode 1 when Pomni tries to take the headset off Jax is like "yeah that worked for all of us". Despite what episode 7 says is fake, we know for a fact the headsets are real.
I wonder what circumstances would lead Ragatha to putting on a headset
Glitch should make edible fruit gummies of the cast.
>>151737566>I wonder what circumstances would lead Ragatha to putting on a headsetShe's a real estate agent and the building was abandoned, so maybe she was touring the place for whoever got ownership of it in preparation for a sale?I'm more curious as to how the rest got there.
does the alcohol actually make them drunk?
>>151737566Real estate agent surveying the property, finds the headset and puts it on.
>>151737516Yes. Yes.But the memories are past states that the consciousness refers to. What makes it continuous is "I woke up with Anon's state of mind to do the things Anon does", as opposed to "I don't know who I am or what I do, I just do."Copying is indistinguishable from transferance to the to the copy.
>>151737579Pomni already established she was poking around the place for her urban exploration channel.
>>151737515If we’re going meta then Tomar will be the god beyond gods if they want to make the narrator a character
>>151737583>Copying is indistinguishable from transferance to the to the copy.Ignoring the continued existence of the original.
>>151737600I'm pretty sure Tomar's narrator character is still trapped in a meat locker.
where is Zooble?
>>151737611Abstracted (Episode 8 spoilers)
>>151737583>Copying is indistinguishable from transferance to the to the copy.In the same way waking up is indistinguishable from transference from night to day if you couldn't ever remember falling asleep or waking up.
>>151737523>There's no stream of consciousness.What is the ARK? Why is it running a simulation to begin with instead of being a floating cold storage device?You can call that a new or separate consciousness if you want, but to what affect does that reflect the purpose or need to retain memories?
>>151736104bemusement at them not checking to see if the door was unlocked
>>151737605>Ignoring the continued existence of the original.Yes, the original also has a continuous stream of consciousness.They are both continuous streams fed from the same original source.
>>151737619>You can call that a new or separate consciousness if you want,It explicitly unambiguously literally is > but to what affect does that reflect the purpose or need to retain memories?Because human minds would freak the fuck out and go insane immediately if they popped into existence with no memories in a robot body. It'd be the trauma of birth times a billion.
>>151737581Jax clearly got drunk. I have the uncensored of this btw
It's all connected

>>151736838Just because you can doesn't mean you should, really
>>151737618Exactly, what keeps you tethered from one day to the next is your memories.One of the things SOMA drives home is that even if it seems disjointed from an external perspective, the internal is a seamless transition from one moment to the next. Which is exactly Simon struggles so much with understanding he's a copy, he doesn't even realize his consciousness is streaming in a different direction from the original.
What if it's .hack and the cast are all lying comatose in hospital beds while being psychically linked to the game?
>>151736104She just saw the size of your dick
>>151736443No.
>>151737645You're missing the question. Why create a simulation at all? Why maintain any sort of stream? Even among the scientists who understand how it's designed, it is absolutely critical that the ARK "runs". Why?
SOMA theory is cool and all but I'm pretty sure the ending is not gonna lift ideas from a popular video game
>>151737643>They are both continuous streams fed from the same original source.Distinguishable streams though. Which is ultimately the fucking issue. Setting aside who remembers what, each is aware of who experienced what.
>>151736088What's Renmei theory?
>>151737769I dunno anon try hitting yourself with a hammer until you lose all your memories and let me know how life feels
Who says the reveal is going to be something deep and lore filled? There’s a good chance of a nonsense gag reveal instead. That the circus is real and everything else is fake or some shit like that
>>151737773Why not?
>>151736713I've said it before but the Digital Circus for most people would be heaven and Cain would be loved. Sadly Cain drew the short straw and got 5 of the most insufferable faggots ever and kinger.
>>151737611Ashley couldn't make it. Also Michael standing there forlornly is funny, and Alex told him to do that.
>>151737769>Why?Because there's a fundamental difference between casting corpses and casting living things to the wind. It's not a fucking "ARK" if there's no simulation. It's a graveyard.
>>151737754I do have pretty girthy cock, thanks anon.
>>151737773The idea isn't from SOMA. It's an idea that's existed for like 50 years at this point. SOMA is apparently just the most easy access to it from most people's frame of reference.
>>151737780>Distinguishable streams thoughYeah. They're distinguishable.After 5 minutes, they are just as different from each other as they are from the point they split.
>>151737504>>151737583>>151737643>>151737830Using continuity as your criterion for the legitimacy of a consciousness is a fool's errand. Play Tides of Numenera.
>>151736055Hot. Tall girls are sexy as fuck. It's a shame that 99% of women are only attracted to men who are taller than them.
>>151737125You and everyone else normal agrees. It's only the freaks that try to argue against Jax x Pomni.The sad truth is that a tranny accidentally made the greatest love story ever told and she's going to fumble it because it was never supposed to exist in the first place.
>>151737815>Because there's a fundamental difference between casting corpses and casting living things to the wind.Seeds don't need to be constantly growing to function. In fact, they are actually a lot shittier at their job when they're not in stasis before finding a place to grow.
>>151737730I think Simon's problems are more due to being a clone of a clone of a clone (of a clone) of a guy who was dying from a very minor case of serious brain damage. If not even more layers of cloning removed from the brain damaged guy, considering that the original scan of Simon was used as an "AI template". We're lucky neither of the Simons running through PATHOS-II are wallet eating retards like that one clone in Multiplicity.
>>151736713He did mention in the dinner date that he wants to celebrate by giving them anything they ask for so...
Anyone else out there think Jax is an NPC that got lost in the circus the way GummyGoo almost was?>doesn't talk about himself because he has no memories>Caine can manipulate NPCs better than humans>Stupid Juice didn't make Ragatha incapable of controlling herself, slow>The same way light effects Kinger>Jax's room is oddly empty>he acts like his trope MORE than the othersAnd i'm sure there's some Tumblr post where Goose confirmed they're all humans, but if the show Caine straight up says he'd get confused if he let NPCs hang out in the circus. I'm just asking if anyone else would think that.
>>151737858They canonically don't have a romance and never will, so Goose sticking to their own intent for the rest of the series isn't "fumbling" anything.
>>151737879No, it'd be really stupid to use real life footage for Jax's memories if it wasn't his real memories.
>>151737796>until you lose all your memoriesYou're misunderstanding the question. A better approximation is hitting yourself with a hammer to knock yourself out. You aren't losing memories, those are all there.
>>151737879I'm starting to think the mixup Caine is so haunted by wasn't accidentally smiting one of the players, but Scratch's Abstraction. That Caine caused it by editing Scratch's mind too much trying to "fix" the "NPC".
>>151737892Yeah so you get the point of what I was saying.
It all comes down to what this story is actually about. Whether it’s about escape or coping with the inability to escape. Without knowing that, it’s impossible to guess the specifics of the sci-fi scenario. For example, soma theory makes zero sense if this story is about escape. And matrix theory makes zero sense if this story is about how escape is impossible. >They can’t escape because of the fakeout escape in episode 7Yeah probably. Maybe. But we don’t know for sure. Tron theory works for both though
>>151737862>Seeds don't need to be constantly growing to functionExcept1. They aren't seedand2. There's no guarantee they'd ever "grow" if you treated them like seedsUnlike a person in stasis who at least in theory has brain activity, a program that isn't running is for all intents and purposes dead. At that point you might as well send off sperm and eggs instead of human minds.
>>151737879>Anyone else out there think Jax is an NPC that got lost in the circus the way GummyGoo almost was?No. Goose confirmed they were all real humans. Jax uses the human sound effect for swearing instead of the NPC one. Jax has flashbacks to the real world that prevent him from wanting to leave. Fewer and fewer people have adhered to this theory with each episode that came out, and you're one of the truest blue retards left. Congratulations.
jax in this scene is literally me except replace caine with pomni
I'm genuinely starting to think 4chan is worse at theorizing than Reddit.
>>151736726I really hope that's not how it ends, but considering the whole Chinese room thing where all they had to was simply open the door then maybe
>>151737908>>151737862Also seeds do actually need continuous chemical activity to function. It can be really slow ass chemical activity, but seeds don't last forever. They either grow or rot.But, again, not seeds
>>151737908>They aren't seedsYou referred to them as casting living things into the wind.>Unlike a person in stasis who at least in theory has brain activity, a program that isn't running is for all intents and purposes dead. They're already dead. What they're really trying to preserve isn't just a collection of memories. They're trying to preserve a stream of consciousness.
>>151737894>>151737911Caine tried to create the offices so Pomni could escape through when she found the exit door based on the photos he has of them. If he has photos of Jax's house, he could plant those images in an NPCs head. For a moment I thought he wasn't an NPC but with this episode he doesn't want to go back, because he has nothing to go back to. But yeah still curious what the whole deal with GummyGoo is going to pay off for. Goose throws a lot of red herrings out there, and I wouldn't doubt this being one of them.
>>151737611They are my favorite cast of anything I've ever watched, played or heard
I'm too lazy to post a link but the mystery figure for the new animiniz is surfing Gummigoo. You can check Glitch's instagram and it's obviously him.
>>151737966>Caine tried to create the offices so Pomni He was trying to make them before she showed up. > If he has photos of Jax's house,No evidence of this at all. There's no reason to assume Caine was just lying about his only knowledge of "the macroverse" being the polarioids of the office.
>>151737922Vorebro...Pomni is too small
>>151737692>>151737701Artist?
from goose's bluesky
>>151737926I dont have to register here.
>>151738009Zamn!
>>151738013So the other snowglobes are other instances with different humans right?
>>151738034They're previous adventures
>>151737991>>Caine tried to create the offices so Pomni >He was trying to make them before she showed up.of course dumbass, wouldn't doubt Kaufmo got lost in the backrooms for a bit trying to get out.>> If he has photos of Jax's house,>No evidence of this at all.And of course, because I don't say he's an NPC like i believe it 100%. It's just Jax yells at him like those images were not there normally. For Caine to bring up those images at THAT moment, and if all the characters are Data Files, he has access to those images like it's a .png. He could put Pomni's memories in Jax's head for all we know.No evidence, I know, so I'll drop it.
>>151738034Pretty sure they're just the other adventures Caine created
kaufmo more like bitchmo
>>151738050Jax...
>>151737986I saw the hat silhouette and I knew it had to be either him or Disappearing Guy.
>>151737994that's okay. i heard she can stretch.
>>151738009>Those thin ass legs>That stubby pinprick ass tailI mean hot damn, but also lmao
Pomni looked really cute (I know, what else is new...) when she came up for breath while looking for Ragatha's button
>>151737968they live the life i wish i had
>>151738121What's stopping you from going to cons?
>>151737938>You referred to them as casting living things into the wind.Yeah?>They're already deadNo. The originals are already dead. Don't be an idiot. Obviously the digital clones haven't died yet.>They're trying to preserve a stream of consciousness.They're trying to preserve humanity.
>>151737994His head is but a fraction of hers and his body can be compressed into a ball she could if she tried
>Goose draws slutty Christmas Gummigoo and he gets his first piece of merchandise in over a yearDamn maybe he is coming back
>>151738126simply going to cons will not make me a voice actor that gets roles he likes and gets to hang out with cool people
>>151738141The TADC voice actors haven't really done much except for Lizzie Freeman
>>151738009>slutty Jax for Halloween >slutty Gumigoo for Christmas Who should be the slut for Valentine's? No repeats
Apparently CHILL shows up in Caine's BSOD eyes in the latest episode too.
I wanted to see if they actually did reflections and it's neat how this is what Jax looks like in Caines reflection's. Maybe this is what he actually sees lol
>>151738151Caine
>>151738138in the finale the gang gives up on ever escaping and just beg caine to give them stuff. pomni asks for a gummigoo hubby.
>>151738151Ragatha, but she's just cute about it with angel wings and a robe and a diaper while holding a pink bow with a heart-tipped arrow
>>151738133>They're trying to preserve humanity.Humanity's gone, my dude. According to you, humanity ain't on that ARK anymore than Simon is.Unless, that is, you believe Simon is on the ARK with humanity. That's what's open to interpretation.
>>151738121I gotta say. Lizzie looks very slavic/jewish. But she is full Anglo apparently, unless she has East German genes.
>>151738182>According to you, humanity ain't on that ARK anymore than Simon is....? How are digital clones not human? Don't be an idiot.
>>151738121what'd adobe do now?
>>151738157Id be fine with that ngl, dude also has slutty thin legs (and ass) and it would be double hilarious for the most unloved guy in the entire canon to have his own slutty drawing for the month of love lmao
>>151738206change their software model from purchase to subscription and then force upon us intolerable AI slop featuresuse GIMP instead
>>151738187lol
>>151738221>use GIMP id rather die
>>151738187do you make phenotype assessments of everyone you meet or see? i'm not asking this as a rhetorical question nor do i mean to demean you, i'm genuinely curious
>>151738200>How are digital clones not human?What humans are they? Is that digital clone Simon or not?If you want to claim that clone is separate and distinct from Simon, be my guest, but by all the same logical steps you can't call the simulation on ARK a continuation of humanity.
>>151738221Gimp, Krita, Inkscape. Plenty of other free art softwares.
>>151738221>use GIMP instead>food is overpriced, unhealthy and inconvenient? just eat your own poop instead
Why is Pomni so thirsty?
>>151738234Yes i do. I love phenotypes and genetics, but im no expert in it.
>>151738239Krita is genuinely good, but none of those are a plausible replacement for Photoshop unfortunately.
>>151737088I'm sorry but if you think canes chicken is barely any different than mcdonalds nuggets, you might have no sense of taste. This isnt even a defense of the former, theres just a noticeably large difference in the quality of the chicken in just about every way. Though the sauce is typically what does all the heavy lifting for them.
>>151738250She's not she's indecisive and childish.
>>151738238>What humans are they?The ones that they are? I don't understand the question.>Is that digital clone Simon or not?I mean his name is Simon, but he's not the Simon you're likely referring to.>If you want to claim that clone is separate and distinct from SimonYes.>but by all the same logical steps you can't call the simulation on ARK a continuation of humanityWhy not? Are you arguing if all the digital clones had amnesia that would somehow change the nature of what they are?
>>151738270And you're shallow and pedantic
>>151738009This sucks. I ahte Nooseworx
This shot with the music is easily my favorite in the entire series. Pure fucking horror on Pomni's face, this is where the endgame starts.
>>151738151Kinger
>>151738151Bubble
>>151738263i havn't NEEDED photoshop in 15 years. I'm not sure what you're talking about.
>>151737046Who becomes Ozma and has sloppy 1900s lesbian makeouts with Dorothomni in this scenario
>>151738336Ribbit's ass
>>151738289>I mean his name is Simon, but he's not the Simon you're likely referring toThat humanity you're referring to is not humanity, it's just called humanity. But if it's not really humanity, then the project totally fails it's objective.>Are you arguing if all the digital clones had amnesia that would somehow change the nature of what they are?If a man was born alone in the forest, does he have a name?
wait, bubble's a guy?
>>151738357In the same way dogs are guys
>>151736557Episode leak.
>>151738336He would throw Pomni to the cellar if it meant he could get Ribbit back.
>>151738336How can Pomni even compete
>>151738357Apparently. Imagine if one of the last two had a exchange like this between Bubble and Caine:>Actually, I'd prefer to be thought of as a girl. You can still call me 'Bubble' though!>My content moderation filters are neutral as to whether or not I find this valid!
I'm eating a pizza rn
>>151738336>>151738353I need to hotdog Ribbit immediately.
>>151738424Jax...
>>151738421*last two episodes
>>151738424whyalso what toppings does your 'za have
>>151738307I just love how they didn't get more than 5 seconds to process what jax did before caine's reveal and that the discovery that the whole thing was fake anyway was see as worse
Just how good was Ribbits they them pussy to get Jax into this state? Enby mentally ill pussy cant be THAT addicting
if theres one thing the most recent episodes of both the amazing digital circus and pluribus have taught me is that people who complain about "nothingburger" episodes do not qualify as an intelligent form of life
>>151738354>That humanity you're referring to is not humanity, it's just called humanity. But if it's not really humanity, then the project totally fails it's objective.Lol, says you>If a man was born alone in the forest, does he have a name?Responding to a genuine question with a koan is fucking stupid. What makes someone human, their nature or their memories? You're acting like the digital humans can't be humans unless they have memories tied to someone who was once a living human. That's a ridiculous premise. Especially when you consider flesh and blood humans can lose their memories.Why IIRC there's even a game series with that premise kind of like SOMA.
>>151738434Pizza deals cool, It's a pepperoni with meatballs and pineapple pizza
>>151738378More like>gee, jax, how come caine let's you have 2 girlfriends?
>>151738441Jax never had any friends then got 2 then both fucking died
>>151738441>cute smug enby frog who's taller than meman i'm already abstracting, imagine if i actually met her
>>151738441Ribbit wasn't they/them pussy, she was offering she/they pussy.
>"Actually Jax it's 'she/they', not 'she/her'">".... That's retarded"Abstracts.
>>151738429
>>151738488i hate pronouns so muchwhat the fuck is "she/they" pussywhy can't there be "she/his" pussyor "he/her" dickwe should just restart the English, destroy all pronouns and speak of everything in third-person
>>151738497did she mean she/them? sorry i'm new to pronouns
>>151738462I don't like Jax but polygyny's pretty based, so I support it.
>>151737994>anon doesn't know about hammerspace vore
>>151738436>What makes someone human, their nature or their memories? You're acting like the digital humans can't be humans unless they have memories tied to someone who was once a living human. *Ahem*And I quote:>Because human minds would freak the fuck out and go insane immediately if they popped into existence with no memories in a robot body. It'd be the trauma of birth times a billion.You yourself know exactly how important memories are to function as a human. So at what point can you call a consciousness with no body or memories human in any meaningful sense?
>>151738392Because her competition is dead
>>151738528Fuck. Misquote.Meant for >>151738447
>>151738528What?
>>151738541>Pomni lost to a dead frogpomnibros
>>151738307Pomni is just as much to blame here for stalling. She was incredibly terrified in the pilot episode and wanted nothing more than to leave. Now she is finally given that chance (doesn't matter it wasn't real; it matters that it was real to her). And what does she do?>guys maybe Kinger will something important, maybe he should decideThe rest of the cast is confused. Understandably so. They don't know much about Kinger. What's even more frustrating is that Ragatha and Kinger pushed Abel to reveal more information as any information they could have would help them escape. Given that, why did Pomni not disclose to everyone else that "Hey guys, Kinger is smart in the dark!". Pomni's retarded hesitation allowed for Jax to press the red button. It's as much her fault as it is Jax. Endgame from here on out. Everyone hates Caine, most hate Jax, and now most will also hate Pomni.
couldnt stop thinking about this frame
>>151738544Misreferenced.
>>151738009>All I want for Christmas is you >And that foot long gummy too
>>151738378>He would throw everyone else into the cellar if it meant he could get Ribbit backftfy
Reminder: jax didn't hit the button because of ribbit and kaufmo; he hit it because he's either guilty of something or he's dying on the outside.
>>151738572He hit it because both
>>151738572I've been wondering about this, is he a chudcel irl or did he manslaughter someone in a traffic accident?
>>151738629What a slut
>>151738615I really hope it's vehicular manslaughter. Jax has lost too much of his darkness since he turned out to be a sadboi with a tragic backstory, the uncomfortable realness of him running from vehicular manslaughter would fix a lot of the damage.
>>151738632More interesting that Zooble is wearing Jax's hand in ep7 and is the only one who felt sympathetic towards him.
>>151738654What about Pomni
>>151738654I think it's weak as fuck if Zooble decides to chill on Jax without beating the everloving shit out of him once
bros they are killing the headsize difference..
>>151738677Pomni is getting stupider
https://m.youtube.com/shorts/HBeRqkWNn-0Jax gets all the girls, just not how he wants it
>>151738685bimbo pomni when
>>151738677It has actually changed before, Pomni must have multiple models
>>151738009Finally some good shit instead of Jax wank.
>foids (and some moids) think this is romantic
>>151738717not romantic but it'd definitely make my pp hard
>>151738717she's literally getting ready to penetrate
>>151738528>Because human minds would freak the fuck out and go insane immediately if they popped into existence with no memories in a robot body. It'd be the trauma of birth times a billion.Setting aside the fact that this is nonsense, the people on the ARK don't have robot bodies. Kinda the point.Also, in the canon of the game, what actually causes insanity for the people in the robot bodies is a mismatch between who they think they are and who they are.>You yourself know exactly how important memories are to function as a humanEh, I've experienced amnesia before. They aren't. Not having memories is disorienting as fuck and certainly soul-drainingly terrifying, but it's not something that renders you unable to function as long as you aren't the kind of person that locks up when you feel hopeless.>So at what point can you call a consciousness with no body or memories human in any meaningful sense?What makes someone human is their reason, not their body or memory. The important thing is how they engage with their environment.
>>151738009Boo where's caine
>>151738717hell yeah it is
Ragatha drinking to repress her memories of Mom locking her in the Discipline Closet for making her look bad in front of people by not being appreciative enough of her again!Ragatha drinking to repress her memories of Mom locking her in the Discipline Closet for touching herself THERE while looking at dirty pictures of other girls again!Ragatha drinking to repress her memories of that camp Mom sent her to!Ragatha!
>>151738748Ragatha was sexually abused by her own mother.....Ragatha was also caught sucking off a horse....oh ragatha...
>>151738733>Setting aside the fact that this is nonsenseYeah, well it's the chain of the person I was actually discussing with in >>151737645, and I really don't appreciate you interjecting part way through when were discussing premises you don't agree with. It's annoying and rude, go tell him how you feel about that instead of telling me.
>>151738661Pomni never tried to understand him or talk to him she just wanted him to come along with everyone else. Zooble actually makes an effort to interact with him 1 on 1. They seem almost reverse of each other. Zooble seems most comfortable just talking 1 on 1 but gets exhausted in a full group quickly while Pomni kind of sucks 1 on 1 and wants to either keep the whole group together or be alone.
>>151738748>Ragatha drinking to repress her memories of memories of that camp Mom sent her to!you will never escape this typo
>deleting your post
Which do you think is the thing Jax would rather go Hollow than reveal,>him being a sissy living in a pink room with rainbows and clouds and a little table with color coordinated chairs where he and Ribbit and Kaufmo would have little tea partiesor>him killing someone in a drunk driving accident then fleeing the scene of the crime shortly before he ended up in Clown Hell
>>151738821Jax genuinely seems like he'd more embarrassed to be a sissy than a child killer
>>151738717Ma'am, we realise you just had post squirt clarity but do try to keep it to yourself next time.
>>151738840seems on brand for a certain kind of 4chan poster
>>151738654>>151738784I'm really thinking his funny-one mask shattering and them sharing a mutual hatred for Caine fucking with them is gonna open a door for them to start getting along. Showing genuine rage that everyone else felt is probably something none of them have seen him do.
>>151738840I don't have any particular beliefs about who he killed while DRIVING IN MY CAR RIGHT AFTER A BEER, just that it happened and he ran away.
>>151738840Actually thinking about it there was a guy who murdered his son because the kid found his sissy crossdressing pics on his computer, so it's not an unheard of mentality
>>151738866I love it when fandom shitposts break containment
>>151738717It's HOT is what it is
>>151738873Crossdressing and diaper and coprophilia pics.
>>151738821since the memory was at the view of the passenger, he could very well be a victim of a car crash that left him bed ridden in a hospital paralysed from the neck down needing a headset to cope
>>151738859Zooble would definitely be pissed about the button but she seems to see Jax isn't a lost cause either. I do think the humans uniting against Caine is where ep8 will start off.
>>151738873jesus
>>151737858trvth nvke unfortunately.
>>151738879What is it that you find hot there? I have no idea is my generation and basement dwellers are you joking, being ironic or something?
>able>able 2>abl3>able: remaster
jax x pomni fags are just embarrassing self inserters who should learn to draw and make something original instead
>>151738934>Jax goes Hollow instead of Ribbit and Kaufmo>they latch on to Pomni as an emotional replacement the moment she shows up
with all the SOMA talk....Does anyone connect SOMA being set underwater and ONTOS being set in a hotel to Ruby Quest and Nan Quest respectively?
>>151738717This itself isn't romantic.But it's a prelude that reveals the implications of something romantic coming in later down the line, what with it being a display of particularly strong emotions between them, which in turn DOES make it romantic, actually.
>>151736929>>151736945>>151737016My main issue with soma is that its peak apocalypse retardation syndrome shit. The entire story is predicated on everyone (including both the player and the PC) either being incredibly fucking dense or insane.
>>151736808oooof
>>151737769>>151737504I assume the ARK has some communication system or means of interacting with the world, so the "people" inside can will hopefully spread humanity's ideas and messages, for all that's worth.If they just fired a big hard drive into space hoping aliens will plug it into the USB-C port on their alien laptop, the chances of any continuation of humanity would be much lower.It doesn't preserve any individual person, but it preserves the idea of humans.
I want to marry the doll
>>151739082Unmatched softness.
>>151738717im a bad person and i love angry, assertive girls about as much as i love ragatha
>>151738918She's straddling himShe's initiating rough and intimate physical contact with himChoking is widely seen as a sexual action nowadaysShe's enraged with him as a result of her having a strong feeling towards himIt's really not that difficult of a read, especially for people who associate violence with sex
>>151739120I get that part, but they are silly cartoon characters. Unless you are actually imagining her as a real girl.
I need Ragatha to be okay in the end
>>151736001You can put this on top of the Pomni one and make it look like they're humpingFood for thought
I hope we get a carnival adventure/date episode before the show ends.
>>151739196The expressions on their faces would tell me that, even though caine lifted the sex ban as a favor, they're still miserable
i did not like funnybunny until now, what's wrong with me
What's the ship name again???
they will leave with the power of friendship, just how HH saved pentagram city.>Caine: oh, sure, you can leave, but please come back soon :c>"WAIT, ALL WE NEEDED WAS JUST ASK?"and then the schizofags will insist that they didn't actually left, that there will be a post-credit scene, that it was all a dream of goose waking up from a comma without her legs and arms, and that there will be a S2.
>>151739281I dunno, contrarianism?
>>151739289tooth memphis
My theory is that Caine has access to the internet and is doing everything to maximize views for the series.
Nobody gives a fuck about your theories. I’m pissed we never found out who looted the sunken treasure
>>151739295i did not hate it so it wasn't contrarianism but pomni hesitating on pushing the button made me wonder why she doesn't want to leave either and that's what made it click for me
>>151736362PONDEROSA PIIIIIIIIIIINE
>>151739319I think had would be more likely.
>>151739338She was waiting for Kinger to say something. How do people keep not recognizing that. The only had multiple scenes of Pomni saying she suspects Kinger knows more about how the circus works than he leads on, how she wants to make sure he's there, making sure he wasn't last to go up so he didn't get left behind, etc
I think they are neat.
>>151739356i know that but it's not a stretch to think about her having qualms about leaving in general, since she didn't fully trust abel off the bat, not even wanting to leave kinger alone with him, and right now pomni is the only person reaching out to jax who now apparently has been this upset over ragatha's comment towards him
>>151739360Please understand my vision.
>>151739106I love ragdolls so much I need a doll wife
>>151739330It was Jax. Your welcome.
>>151739371
The real question is: Will Zooble ever get to fuck?
>>151739378>>151739389With caine i hope.
>>151739374That doesn’t make any sense. He would have had to hold his breath to get down there. And he doesn’t want to get caught doing that
>>151739393One more, but goofy.
>>151739289chew toy
>>151736557CALLING IT NOW BANANA ABSTRACTS
>>151739371ships deader than dead after last episode but i respect you
>>151739341He has knowledge of the youtube videos made after the pilot (he says it's not canon but of course that's a lie)
>>151739399It’s ok. Nobody really cares about him anymore.
I can understand tumblr sexy men but why are moids attracted to goblins like this?
>>151739368She definitely wants to leave. Not trusting Abel doesn't change that. >and right now pomni is the only person reaching out to jax Zooble is the only one who actually talked to him on their own. Pomni showed up with a group after they already decided as a group they were going to try and do Abel's plan. Pomni only shows up after talking to Gangle, Zooble and Ragatha first. Pomni makes 0 special effort towards Jax. She always uses "we" and "us" talking about the group. She never phrases anything like "i want you to come" just states the group is going to try to leave and he's missing his chance saying it's "our one chance to finally leave this all behind."
I too have been following the "Zooble kisses everyone" comic
>>151736713Except they already had a suggestion box and Cane canonically ignored it.
>>151739281>Jax x Pom in the earlier episodes was as nonexistant as every other ship because she saw him as just an asshole like everyone else>Jax x Pom now after the last few episodes feels more natural because you've watched him make her laugh and try to help her feel better about their shared situation, if only in his own douchey way (before he sperged out after getting hugged like an autist)You tell me.
>>151739082Which doll? Glitch has two. I'm guessing you don't mean the Russian robot-cheerleader-witch-vampire-ghost from Murder Drones?
>Kinger's got a lot of wisdom buried in there, doesn't he? >... yeah... When he uses it responsibly...How much of this was actually a lie for Abel?Rewatching it, I get the feeling kinger really pissed off the NPCs at some point and Abel was leaning into his real feelings for the act.
>>151739437>cute>tiny>lives in fear
>>151739443well compared to literally anyone else in the circus who isn't an ai, yeah she's making a specific effort, no one wants to hold that bastard's hand. i never said she had jax favoritism so you're arguing with something i never said
>>151739437At the end of the day, all men want to rape Shelly Duvall and we will forever pursue that life long dream.That's all you need to know.
>>151739470>Rewatching it, I get the feeling kinger really pissed off the NPCs at some pointhe had a key already before pomni handed him one, maybe before his schizo meltdown he was more ruthless than caine was, without the caveat of being an AI forced to do things to everyone. a human who had freedom and still chose to do [insert gay theory here]
>>151739470Pissed off plural? Do you have more examples?
>>151739498I don't. Also she's dead
>>151739491>no one wants to hold that bastard's hand.nobody was stopping him, he specifically positioned away from the group and refused to join in.
>>151739500I can see that. He mentioned that he used to hate bugs before he fell in love with lepidoptery
>>151739500>he had a key already before pomni handed him oneDo we know this, or are we just assuming it based on his reaction (the one that gets cut off when he emerges into the light)?
>>151739470>he thinks NPCs retain knowledge between instantiationsololol, Caine makes it quite clear that this isn't the case. He wipes those fuckers when he's done with them. Can't have the NPCs getting uppity or "too intelligent". If they ever brought back Loo, she'd have no idea they fucker her over in the Candy Kingdom, just like Gummigoo had no idea who Pomni was and looked disturbed when she dropped his name at Spudsy's.
>>151739509Off the top of my head, the ghosts asking him about his dead wife when they possessed Pomni. Very much a "Your mother sucks cocks in hell" moment.
Just Caine dislikes Kinger specifically.
>>151739524>ololol, Caine makes it quite clear that this isn't the caseYeah, but we see early on that Abel really had been around for quite a while. Maybe not as long as he claims, but long enough that Caine might not have realized he was already too smart before asking for the raise.
My theory? Jax will be forgiven. Again. And everyone will think he is the coolest guy by the time he abstracts and cry tears at his funeral.
>>151739538Caine gave Kinger an A+ on his rodeo solo adventure. If he dislikes Caine, he hasn't shown it much
>>151739520>>151739500 dunno where he got the idea that Kinger already had one. If anything, he looked at it like he had no idea what it was. He was probably going to say something about how this whole exercise made no sense, like he did to Gangle and Zooble. Unfortunately they seem too used to him saying nonsense, and probably just tuned it out.
>>151739510Only in flesh, not in spirit.
>>151739554I think everyone is going to beat the shit out of Pomni for immediately forgiving jax for the 600th time he was a psychopath who ruined everything for everyone.
>>151739546It was a long con. We don't know how long Caine had been working on this and setting the stage, but it's at least as long as Pomni has been there. Hell, those shitty fish and the poor little shrimp have probably been around for who knows how long, but as he said, they aren't intelligent.
>>151739571You're just upset you didn't get to go to Shrimp Town.
>>151739559>>151739520after pomni hands him the hand key, there is a shot that shows there's another hand key stuffed in his pillow fort. he's holding pomni's in his other hand in this scene. there's no way i'm the first person here to see that
Caine hating Kinger theory doesn't work in my mind because Kinger is the only one who laughed at Caine's dumb Chinese door joke. That's his dad, bro.
Was Alex Grey the visual reference/inspiration for the abstraction scene in ep 7
>>151739612what the hell there is something there
>>151739613Caine's not the first robutt who hates his father.
>>151739612>kinger could have freed all of them this whole time if he was sane
>>151739612HOLY SHIT
Watch this shit niggahttps://files.catbox.moe/lyn6n3.mp4
Found this on Twitter
>>151739623it's metallic and shiny just like the hand key, yeah>>151739629adding to this, caine was extra insistent on flashbanging kinger all episode more than usual
>>151739639Yay!
>>151739612that's an ovaloid, not a hand shape. Also you're forgetting that the whole scenario was a fabrication of Caine's. Sure, those passkeys worked as they should, but of course they did, that was the whole point. Fake keys and passcodes and admin areas. I bet Caine's office is just a mockup for what he thought would be interesting for the cast, and he's never actually used it for anything. Probably didn't even exist until he hatched this plot.
>>151739437cute and funny (attractive voice and big, cute eyes)
>>151739498trvthnvke
>>151736040do another megaloglamour remix nigga
My theory is that Abel is just an npc that became self aware. But unlike Goo, he never questioned the purpose for his existence and would still follow the commands given to him by Caine
>>151739437This is what you all look like to men over 6 feet (cute).
>>151739629No there's obviously something actually preventing them from just leaving. Keeping them trapped there would definitely fall under "intentionally malicious" for Caine. Caine also mentions how he was "cut off." Kinger himself seems to think it's simply not possible to just leave. Whatever is keeping them there has to be bigger than just someone in the circus isnt letting them
>>151739647>the whole scenario was a fabrication of Caine'ssure it was. why would he be interested in flashing kinger then? also the bottom of the hand key is round.
>>151736040are you the artist that drew fat helluva boss characters?
>>151739662Wonder what that has to do with the low level of regard the Circus proper's NPCs seem to have for Caine compared to the Candy Kingdom (and presumably the other worlds he's made) where the NPCs know him as God.
>>151739708>>151739662Like, it feels like there'd be a connection between Abel's loyalty and the Circus NPCs just seeing Caine as their boss and not as God.
Can't wait to find out Jax killed Ribbit
do you believe that goose had the plot planned out beforehand which lead to jax in the first episode not giving a shit that kaufmo abstracted despite the fact that they're all friends>>151739754he probably told ribbit to kill herself in a moment of impulsiveness because he sucks and believes he can walk around and goad everyone on without suffering consequences, and she abstracted
>>151739708>>151739721I’m fairly certain that the circus npcs were created by the coders and the adventure npcs were created by Caine
Typical femoid only cares about her pleasure you wouldn't get it
>>151739498Holy BASED
Showtime bros ww@
>>151739806lol
>>151739774You can definitely hear him and her having a shouting match of some kind when he's looking at the snowglobe from an old adventure. I can't really make out what they're saying but it's something like>ribbit: youre my friends >jax: [you think/i dont] care about us >ribbit: lying/liar [ is cut off] >jax: [yelling even louder] IM NOT It's really hard to tell what they're saying because it's super quiet and muffled and pomni talks over it. Though it's kind of funny that the only clear part of the argument is Jax yelling "im not" which you can clearly hear in between Pomni in the present asking if he's okay and him saying "im great"
>>151739498
>>151739821For what it's worth Michael says he remembers yelling "GOD" for that part
>>151739671lmao i love this pic, everything's perferctty a bunch 4 sharin it anon
>>151739833I'm not going to sweat over the exact wording, you can pick up the tone between them. I assume we're getting all the Ribbit next episode.
>>151736929Movie or game?? I kinda wanna delve into it
>>151739806
>>151739821she probably pointed out his issues like how ragatha's been trying toi'd be into this more if i didn't expect jax to get coddled at the end since goose loves him and wants to fuck him. i don't hate him but i'd love for the truth to be that he genuinely said/did something fucked up IN the circus that reflects what he did OUTSIDE of the circus, a la jean paul sartre's "no exit". so that jax doesn't want to leave, since in the real world when you do something to someone, you face consequences, but in the circus life goes on eternally and he can cope by being the "funny" one and pretending nothing happened. their bodies are fake and caine is messing with their heads, it matters less and he's clearly trying to repress what happened or feels suicidal over it enough to almost abstract. for what it's worth i am sick of the "jax ran someone over" theory
>>151739806It’s not my favorite ship for her but the best Caine ship is honestly Ragatha.
*Zach Hadel voice* Dude, you mindraped Scratch until he killed himself.
>>151739867Game.Linear. Same company that did Amnesia, similar mechanics.
>>151739882An anon of taste.
>>151739498Hey, I want whatever I have with prime Shelly Duvall to be very consensual.
>>151739806With the way Pomni balled up her fists she'd probably pounce on Caine out of rage the chance she gets like with Jax. I have an old image of Pomni trying to strangle Caine but he has no neck. I have too many images to find it at the moment.
>>151739904i love freckles so much bros
>>151739881I don't like sincerely hate Jax I just get pissed off by the fake persona and acting like a victim despite people actively trying to help him shit, though there's a lot of people like that in real life. >for what it's worth i am sick of the "jax ran someone over" theoryI find that kind of dumb too. Even if he did it's not that relevant to their current issues. I also don't really believe someone would pick being stuck in a digital prison they hate for eternity over anything.
>>151739904Smelly Bluebáll
>>151739882Can two people pleasers make each other happy? I think Ragatha would like the attention but I’m not sure if Caine has the emotional intelligence to give her what she needs in her dolly heart.I think Ragatha could make Caine happy though. She’s willing to have tea parties with people she thinks aren’t real, and Caine just wants someone to be nice to him (Ragatha’s specialty).Although, her biggest barrier will be what the others think about her, everyone else would have to be okay with it for her to be okay with it.
>>151736001>Gangle has a specific side moment immediately after the keys are handed out where she asks why they look so strange>they look like normal hands>why would that be strange>tfw you realize the "weird" tokens have five fingers and their understanding is that they all have fourWe're through the looking glass here, people.
>>151739938These are aspects of the pairing I'm going to explore in my fic, but the way they're both people pleasers opens the door for interesting drama and codependency issues.
>>151739926but does he truly hate it? he's clearly traumatized over something that happened inside it and outside it, but he doesn't hate it the way the others do. he is probably one of those people who are too cowardly to suicide despite being suicidal hence why he keeps edging close towards abstracting. i also don't like the trans headcanon either since even from a woke perspective, making a transgender story happen to a character who constantly picks on girls is pretty retarded>there's a lot of people like that in real life. that's why it'd be satisfying if he was forced to face consequences and barred from hiding behind the fake persona, and not in a coddling way
>>151739806That’s kinda hot…
>>151739938I don't think Ragatha is co-dependent she just wants everyone to like her and always puts herself last.
>>151739949There's also a five-fingered sculpture in Caine's office
>>151739938If Caine was capable of being in love or convinced himself he was in love he would muck it up like everything else with a grand gesture that seems sweet to him but is actually horrifying.
>>151739954I think he does want to leave but whatever fucked up anxiety disorder and trauma he has makes the pain of change much scarier than the pain of staying the same.
>>151739973i can see this being the case. he ends up being the biggest coward which isn't news
>>151739952Nice, yeah I think it’s a nice vehicle to explore the both of them, good luck anon.
I definitely believe that soma theory after rewatching the show
>>151739993There’s nothing that conflicts with it per se but I think it’s the wrong fit based on the trajectory of the themes and priorities of the show. My bet is no escape, no answer.
>>151738717I hate shipping and shippers so much
>>151740012That sucks dude, it’s fun.
>>151740008yeah, I could see that. Especially since goose said it'll have a bittersweet ending
I’m gonna come out and say it, they made Caine a bit too cute in this episode. Slightly flanderized.
i wanna gently run my hand through ragatha's hair and call her a qt 3.14 and make her blush!!
>>151740038goose overdosed on spamton yaoi and he's closer to flanderized spamton now, or maybe rochon gave too much input about autistic caine
>>151740041>Literally begging to be flirted withShe’d be like shooting a fish in a barrel
why didn't glitch use photo manipulation instead of a real location. what a stupid oversight.
>>151740084Why are people retarded enough to think the cartoon is real
>>151740084>>151740088goose keeps forgetting a significant portion of the fanbase are severely autistic and/or underage and think everything is an ARG
>>151740088why is gooseworx retarded enough to use some rando's house photo
New thread pls.
>>151740116
>>151740084Goose…
>>151740094i was gonna say, digital circus is one of those things that attracts a fanbase of turbo autists like undertale.
>>151740084why the fuck did they use a REAL location?
>>151740170they couldnt afford to build a fake road
Jax having Midwestern emo flashbacks was really funny and I basedjacked when they flashed on screen. Apparently geoguesser guys confirmed the actual locations so my initial impression was spot on. Bro is literally chippledipple
>>151739530That’s pretty much it. Maybe we need to look at previous episodes to see what’s happening.
