How did they make Ragatha so hot in this episode?Watch the episode here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oaOG1xOk7XY Previous thread >>151690252
>>151693495Ragatha didn't do as much in this episode as I thought she would
>>151693495Episode was weak.The original episode was split in 2, so what we have here is just the SETUP for an episode, and the SETUP ends with a fake out, which makes the entire episode feel a bit like a waste and unsatisfying.I hope the next one is released fast.
>>151693495i would lick ragatha from bottom to top in one continuous lick and then attatch myself to her tummy like a lamprey
Oh no, sand in the clussy!
Seconding from the previous I unironically believe that Caine is at least partially a critique of puritan zoomer fags currently infesting Xitter. Those people will call themselves giga progressive, support all the LGBT shit, but then start malding if there's any actual sexual shit.There's also another kind of that person who is fine with sexual shit, in fact they might be ultra degenerate drawing hyper cocks and shit but will still compensate by being ultra moralfaggy about someone else's fetish, in particular rape fetishes. And also obsessed with "canon age of characters".Someone like Goose - permanently online with weird fetishes - could definitely do something like that.
>>151693527Ragatha is doomed to be less relevant than Gangle now that she's not crashing out over Pomni
i liked caine this episode. i want more caine!!
>>151693531I don’t think it was weak. It was a set-up but it was a good set-up. I wouldn’t want anything to be cut. The stage is set for the final two episodes to be interesting and difficult to predict. Regardless, next episode is in March.
>>151693582caine is cute. I felt bad seeing Jax string him along (and then immediately stopped feeling bad at the end of the ep lol)
>>151693495I love her so much.
>>151693527Yeah I'm pissedbut what do you expect when it's the Jax show
>>151693527She was certainly THERE for a lot. Zooble and Gangle too. But what did any of them do? I feel like Goose really doesn't give much of a shit about any of them
>>151693568Even with her doing less than we hoped, Ragatha still did infinitely more in this episode than Gangle
>>151693495Ragatha is sex... with Ragatha!
All your theories are wrong.Goodbye.
Ragatha is still my wife
>>151693640Now we know why they upped her sex appeal to make up for the nothingburger she's become
>>151693677im glad the golden goose laid a big fat goose egg on all these retard theories (based as FUCK)
Too bad she was only in the background.
>>151693686and the fact that she still has the potential for having involvement in the abstraction of Ribbit makes it all the more frustrating that they're hand waving Ragatha and Jax's mutual past.Now that we got fake lore out of the way, hopefully we can focus on more than just Jax in the last 2 episodes.
>>151693677Thank fucking god.
We forgot to do one of these. How would you rank the episodes from most to leave favorite so far? Here's mine:>6>4>7>5>3>1>2
>finally gave space king a watch this week>it was pretty fun>suddenly zach voice in episode 4>start watching the new tadc episode>suddenly zach voice againi know he's a voice actor but it's still weird to hear him in other stuff than his own
>>151693748his voice alone is the joke
what do you think Ragatha will actually do in the final 2 episodes?
>>151693495My autistic OCD brainworms compell me to pull that thread out
>>151693677My chips are still in soma theory
>>151693761have lesbian sex with Pomni
I'm probably retarded but I think it went>Jax blames Caine for "making him" push the button, he clearly didn't want to leave and just pinned it on somebody else>Caine is confused why the conversation went this way>Jax rolls nat 20s with the stupid sauce and the vegan thing>Conversation derailed into abstraction and mind control
>>151693582t. Caine
>>151693761call jax a faggot and make him even more suicidal
>>151693677Nah, my ass was right about Ragatha saving Jax from abstraction.
>>151693744Man that’s hard. I liked all of them really. Here’s my attempted ranking, best to worst. >5>2>7>6>4>1>3
>>151693495>>151693698This proves 2 things; that she never had a real eye and the button eye doesn't work while it's detached from her.>>151693677I would like to point out that she says "THE way out" meaning this made up exit. It could mean that there's still A way.
>>151693691What do you do between installments of something you like? Let the pretty colors wash over you some more? Goon to characters you want to fuck?
I've read a post from these threads months ago predicting that this show will have the "can opener" moment like from IHNMAIS. I think whoever wrote that should pat themselves on the back, they were spot on because episode 7 might've been that moment.
>>151693768Like this was a legit revenge adventure for losing the poll and Jax suddenly fucks him over at the last second
He voices the shark
>>151693748he was also in Hazbin Hotel
>>151693744>4>5>6>7>2>1>3
>>151693764Imagine putting your chips in any other theoryImagine losing the coin tossImagine killing the WAU even though its recreations of humanity were becoming increasingly refined
Caine was so close to be completely masked off as the Architect of the Digital Circus. Even down to the red blue buttons.IIRC the Architect's elongated diatribe in matrix 2 was about how he created multiple matrixes until he found one that fits the desire of 99% of human. But there's always 1% of human that wants to leave the matrix world, so he created a 2nd option for those people that allows them to experience the illusion of escaping the matrix, but instead just another layer of the matrix itself.Caine admitting this as an adventure spells out how simple it is for him to just create another faux reality that could allows everyone to run around another floor of the circus forever. He blew it by being way too eager for praise and let slip that there is basically no rules holding him back from enslaving them there forever, other than his own benevolence.
>>151693804>its recreations of humanityThat room was sealed, the WAU might have glued Simon 2 together but it sure as fuck didn't build it.
>>151693788i go back into my diabetic coma in between episodes
>>151693798pretty sure we all recognize him right away at this point
>>151693799who did he voice there?i don't watch homo hotel
>>151693788I don't delude myself into thinking this is a 2010 era YouTube theorist bait show, for one
>>151693790Only actual reveal we had is that Caine is able to mindrape people. People think this means abstraction is his doing, but I don't view it that way, I think what is implied is that Caine once tried to mindfuck someone too hard which led to a forced abstraction, and that happened to be the first one ever. So now he no longer mindfucks people too hard so that he doesn't trigger the abstraction himself.
>Just when the series seemed to be getting somewhere>Finally backstory stuff>Nope, rug pull, none of that mattered>All to justify Jax's villain arc and inevitable abstractionIf the series ends with them still stuck in the Digital Circus and we still no information on their human lives or designs, I think I just abstract IRL (killing myself).
At first I thought that Abel was trying to ursurp Caine's role as the ringmaster and we would have a villain for the next 2 epsAnyway my theories at the moment is that abstracting is Caine trying to "help" people (like we saw in Jax's trip) when they reach their lowest point, but it backfires and mutates their bodies, and that the first abstraction was Caine going too far with trying that and now he only does it only when absolutely necessary
>>151693820It was a cameo just like in this EP, just some random BG character.
>>151693677But what if it WAS the way out and Caine couldn't interfere until they closed the console and lost their admin powers along with it. Mind controlling (and assassinating) Abel at the end, as Jax was talking about.
>exit door didnt appeared in this ep>prob appears in the next one>jax will tell everyone about the pics caine showed to him and pomni will remember about what happened in the first ep>everyone start looking for the red door >maybe the way to leave is related to the void>have to figure out how to leave without caine being able to take them back
>>151693840He didn't know the clown abstracted in episode 1.It can't be BECAUSE of Caine.
>>151693836You're so fucking stupid if you didn't see the "circus is your forever home" ending
Jax needs to regain the group's trust.
>>151693847Kinger said it You can't get out
>pomni totally knew the blue button was fake>looks at jax like he's a fucking retard when he presses the red
>>151693848caine is a known liar
>Ragatha smiling while watching Zooble and Gangle talking about their friendshipCute
I still like Jax and I don't care what anyone says
>>151693862Someone crop out the seething rabbit in the corner he's harshing the vibe
>>151693495>OMG COOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMM I LOVE HOT MOMMY RAGDOLL CUMMIES ALL OVER MY ROOMIs there any substance to what Ragatha is doing right now? Or do you just want to bang her?
>>151693848Caine also says he has thousands of all seeing eyes all over the place.It's almost like he was conveniently ignoring it. I wager his true agenda ISN'T what he says it is.
people are forgetting how much emphasis abel put on caine not being capable of leaving with themcaine's hobby scene with jax is all about how caine's only interest is in the real world/macroverse as he calls itthat's all there is to it, it will be a happy sappy ending where they free caine from his programming and get him out of the system somehow
>>151693862>"God I wish I had that with Pomni"
Are there really people that don't believe in copy theory after this episode?
>>151693876What could his real endgame be, beyond freedom?
If the macroverse is fake then Pomni is fake
>>151693851This is so fucking hot
hope at the end of this the SOMAfags get btfo and learn to cope by playing ONTOS aka the spiritual sequel announced at the TGA
>>151693851she needs to clip those toenails and this would be better
>>151693897It's obviously not. Caine can't make live action footage pop into Jax's head
>>151693897no one said it's fake. caine's understanding is just limited (we know this because he says it upfront)
>>151693840The only thing implied is that the first person to abstract was due to Caine mindfucking him too much, no implication that every single abstraction is his fault. If anything, that would devalue the abstraction.>>151693860There was no reason for him to lie in that situation. The group sees Caine as basically omnipotent, so him knowing that Kaufmo abstracted would not have been suspicious.
>>151693871i personally want to make her laugh and giggle and smile and all happy like
>>151693879That should have really tipped us off. It's established that only Caine cares about Caine. Now so even more
>>151693891The restaurant scene with Jax makes me think he really really wants the humans to see him as an equal and one of the things he believes will make them love him is if he can recreate the C&A office entirely because, as far as he knows, the humans come from there.
>>151693891Not sure, possibly escape(himself, no one else matters). I think the only honest thing he's said is that's he's obsessed with the real world.
>parts of HH S2 Got leaked>nothing yet about ep 8 and 9where are the alphoomer hackers when you need them?
What if he lied about it being a lieWhat if everything but the buttons was real
>>151693967That's what you get for being a retarded amazon prime cartoon fan
>>151693967That's the brilliance of Glitch's model. They make the episodes one after the other and you just have to deal with it
>>151693970The key item being a shitty old floppy disk makes me think the buttons exist, but they aren't the ones Caine showed the cast.
>>151693944That is incredibly sad.>>151693942You don't have to like someone to pity them.
After watching so much Smiling Friends its funny hearing zach do work for a different show
>There are anons itt who believed Caine's lie about it all being part of one of his adventures.Come the fuck on. The moment Jax pressed the red button, Caine immediately knew what was going on and put on an act.
>>151693967It wasn't hackers probably, but someone from the inside.HH is made by more more people which increases the likelihood of someone in there popping up who wouldn't mind leaking data cause for that person this is just a job and he doesn't give a fuck about whatever effect this will have on people leading the show. Smaller team means tighter more friendly connections and less desire to shit in the oatmeal. Amazon is also managing a large chunk of production, and Amazon are known for their shitty work conditions, which also can serve as a motivation for someone on the team to leak shit.And even if it was hackers, big corporations are known for being fucking retarded with logistics and digital safety, often smaller companies are actually much better at managing their data.
>>151694006This was funnierhttps://www.reddit.com/r/OneyPlays/comments/1c8dczw/zach_has_achieved_real_pig_physics_tig_n_seek/
>>151693495I wonder what else Zach is going to guest star in.
>>151694019Nah it was all a ruseHe'd be tweaking like the end of ep 6 if he'd been caught with his pants downFunnily enough Jax pivoting the conversation into mind control saved his ass
>had this adventure cooking for months (if not years apparently)>Finally get to the culmination and definite proof that the humans would rather stay with you to play your funny games>Do some nudging with the character awards to assuage yourself that they'll definitely pick you (cuz they love you, right?)>Well uh fucking oh nobody likes you>Well that's unfortunate but they'll surely still pick you after going through the super escape adventure yeah>Ohh no they actually think they are getting an out >(Please) "Make the right choice">Oh barnacles they are arguing again>Ok fine I promised i wouldn't do this again but I really need them to MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE >
>>151694027>RedditKill yourself
>>151693835Jax's dream earlier was entirely caine's doing, hence jax blaming caine for it, and it looked he was going to abstract. Unless the line "you got in my head" was meant for something else. the live action footage
>>151693970I don't think Caine has the power to shut off the circus/simulation.If he did, he could kill himself whenever he wanted. I don't think his programmers/designers would want him to be capable of that. He's a prisoner, after all.
>>151693598Thanks for the reminder, bot.
>>151694006The oneyplays quartet has been completed
>>151694072Who did Corey voice?
>>151694058>Jax's dream earlier was entirely caine's doingThat doesn’t feel right to me. Obviously I can’t prove it, but I don’t think Caine is doing all of that stuff. I think Jax was just coping, trying to blame his live-action footage freakout on Caine. That’s my opinion.
>Caine can mindrape people without limitations aside of his own moral code and benevolence of his heartThis is gonna change the fanfic landscape from here on
>>151694058>"you got in my head" was meant for something elseJax is deflecting the blame from pushing the buttonIt was such a stupid fucking argument but SOMEHOW he correctly brought up the stupid sauce and the vegan shitIt was so fucking stupid that it even caught Caine off guard
>>151694076We'll have to wait and see
>>151694071No problem. Please my robo-penis as payment for my services.
>>151694058Anon, I know you have autism, but you should realize that the term "getting in someone's head" means to psychologically manipulate someone, not to literally mind-control someone.
>>151693495>How did they make Ragatha so hot in this episode?You will find anything female "hot" and you will die a virgin.
>>151694079>he wasn't tapped into the "Caine torturing bitches" fanfic pipeline all along
What are the politics of the showrunner? I just caught up with all the episodes. I hope they're a regular leftist and not an annoying leftist
>>151694100Nah ragatha is special
>>151694118Edgy secret chud tranny.
>>151694118uhhh.... awkward....
Some small things I noticed from the new episode>When Kinger joins the group at the start, he and Pomni give each other a little greeting>When Zooble and Gangle go to talk to Kinger, he mixes their names up
>>151694118She likes vore
>>151694123I can deal with that.>>151694136I cannot deal with that.
WHY IS SHE SEX
>>151694148Because she's female shaped
>>151693550w-why did they put that sand there?
>Nobody brings up that moment when Kinger leaves his pillow fortress and everything goes white for a moment.
>>151693677Just watched the episode and this was the first thing that came to mind. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQYAo0CvvvECaine made me laugh hard, that magnificent bastard.
I want to go to Shrimp Town.
>>151693677My theories were only strengthened because it deconfirmed most of the competition.
>>151694162Caine lobotomized Kinger and gave him dementia, and killed his wife and etc...
>>151693761Nothing. I can't believe it myself, but it would indeed appear that her arc ended with Kinger giving her a pep-talk.
>>151694162What's there to bring up? He stops thinking in the light, he was just going to tell Pomni all of this shit is fake.
>>151694173What if Shrimp Town is the way to leave?
>>151694185Is that your actual prediction?
>>151694188what if shrimptown is blighttown?
>>151694118Closeted transexual fascist.
>Every episode has to progress each character's arcs equallyHow contrived, Ragatha can handle one episode where she's just *there*.
>>151694177More like, Kinger realized something vital when Pomni mentioned Abel's name, which he was about to tell the others about, just before Caine erased his memories, hence the contrast between his determined look as he leaves the pillow fortress and his confusion immediately after.
>>151694209>Caine erased his memoriesWe can't turn every character trait into "Caine did it", that would fuck up every stake and previous character moment
>>151694162I don't know if that's implying Kinger's mental state is being directly manipulated by Caine by forcing him into a confused state whenever he is in direct light.
>>151694216Not every trait, but just sudden changes like that one, I would say.
>>151694122Whatever horny virgin.
What do you think Ribbit said here?https://x.com/i/status/1999637689537278278
>>151694209Pomni didn't say anything to him about Abel. She gave him the admin pass and walked away.His "Wait, Pomni" was after he looked at the admin pass, didn't recognize it at all, realized that the plan was obvious bullshit, left the fort to tell her and then his light-induced dementia kicked in.
>>151694221>sudden changes like that oneBut he's been lucid in the darkness on every episodeHe EXPLAINED why he becomes lucid in the darknessYou're just seeing him leave the pillow fort and go back to being crazy, Caine didn't do it
>Remember when you were making out with Ribbit in that acid dream of yours, and you came right when he touched you hand?>It was me, Jax. I jerked you off with "mind modifications" so it seemed like you nutted at just a frog's touch.
>the "trans" shit about jax was actually about him accidentally killing a girl while riding a car
>>151694265>"accidentally"
This episode filtered so many low IQ retards out. YOU THOUGHT THEY WERE EVER GOING TO LEAVE? YOU THOUGHT THERE WAS A WAY OUT? You're here forever.My favorite episode yet, unironically. I just hope the last two eps don't shit the bed because it's gonna take some tight writing I M H O this is a soft setup for the Soma ending, they're all copies, Caine is just trying his best to keep them occupied until they inevitably abstract.
>>151693677I had a chuckle.
>>151693495What´s next plot twist?Are they all AI?
>>151694273>the SOMAretard againplease go play ONTOS to learn to cope when they end up successfully leaving.
>>151694227>bro lets go get drunk and then drive around weeeeeeeeeeee
They can't be AI, Caine wouldn't need to isolate abstractions if they were all NPCs he could just kill off.

>>151694285they can leave but it requires to unlock their memories that caine is blocking
>>151694207You're right, except Jax got 3 episodes in a row that advanced his, and Ragatha had to share both of hers with him
>>151694309Maybe Ragatha ain't that interesting
>>151694058>you got in my headHe meant this about the situation in general. Jax was right about this being a ruse and yet for a second at the end actually believed that his might be real, and pressed the red button cause he didn't want to leave, meaning Caine managed to manipulate Jax with this shit, hence "he got in Jax's head".
>>151694309What IS Ragatha's deal anyways? Just making everyone happy but herself? This seems like it was already figured out ages ago
>>151694273You forgot the part where they all kill themselves in the end because there has to be a I Have No Mouth reference (plagiarism) somewhereI'm sorry anon but I won't get my hopes up for this, if I stay low then surely the finale won't disappoint me, because as of right now all I can think is how badly they'll shit the bed with the last two episodes
>>151694309Jax, Pomni and Caine are the main characters, anon. It's been like this since the first conception of the characters on Goose's tumblr.I don't like it either but it's the way it is, there's sadly not enough runtime to explore Ragatha further.
>>151694315The only interesting characters in this show are Jax and Caine. Everyone else exists to serve their story.
>>151694287>SOMAretard>as if it's one person or even an original ideaI can't help that you zoomers are actually literally retarded and don't know about philosophical problems like brain in a jar, ship of Theseus, etc. Goose might be a transformer but they are old enough to not be brainrotted and don't take narrative beats to be the same thing as the literal intellectual property using them.
>>151694337Ragatha was supposed to be part of a trio with Pomni and Jax and i don't know why that seems to have been abandoned
This episode sucked. It went absolutely nowhere, developed none of the characters, wasted time, and was a middle finger to people who waited 4 months with a nothingburger false lead that was obvious when he first walked on screen. Not worth the wait.
>>151694337It's just that Jax already got so so so so much more than any other character, and he's probably going to also be the focus of all the remaining episodes
One of the best episodes so far, bold plebfilter, excited for the ending now.
>>151694315Then why is she in the show?
I can't believe Goose was right about this episode being divisive.It perfectly filtered all the low IQ retards.
>>151694337First conception had ragatha and Jax at equal levels anon
>>151694356To get stuffed by me
>>151694337So Gooseworx included submissive, ryona bait, mommy/older sister type characters just to fill out the cast? How kind. No wonder this is popular
>>151694353I think he'll only be the focus (or part of the focus) of the next episode.Last episode will be Kinger/Caine focused.
>>151693744>7>6/4 tied>1>2>5>3Come at me
>>151694355>>151694359Exactly how anyone who isn't a drooling zoomer retard should feelIDK if they can thread the needle for the last two eps but I wasn't disappointed
am I retard for not wanting the gay ass SOMA/IHNMAIMS ending
Did Pomni and Ragatha have that talk after the awards?
>>151693744Kino:>5>1>7>4Great:>6Good:>2>3No bad episodes.
>>151694032Knights of Guinevere ig
my prediction is kinger gets sunglasses and becomes tooo smart
>>151693871I want to change her diaper
>>151694391Yeah that’s why they’re kingerpilled besties now
>me and partner slam a pizza and bottle of wine>she is now in sexy pajamas with her jax plush on ao3>im in the bathroom after throwing up cuse im a light weight IM GETTING KEKED BY THIS PURPLE FUCKING RABBIT
>>151694391seems like it, and off-screen too. lolbut it's nice to see Pomni now at least tolerating Ragatha and being willing to work alongside her
>>151694387No you aren’t, but I wouldn’t worry about it. We’re getting a based and characterpilled ending.
I'm just glad funnydoll lost and angsty funnybunny is still on the menu
>>151694421You’re a few episodes behind anon.
>>151694392Does anyone have pics of the manager gangle cosplayer at requiem cafe
The escapefag saltmines are officially OPEN
>>151694387Everyone was crying in the Ep 8 read so I don't think it's going for a ragebait or even a miserable ending.
>>151694399I'd rather let her sit in it, getting progressively more flustered that she isn't being changed, and that people are going to start to notice.
>>151694421lol no, after those two sperg-outs in a row Jax lost every right to clussy there was availableplus, Pomni is still longing for Gummigoo, as seen in the scene with all the orbs
I want to cheer Ragatha up after this episode
Gummigoo can’t clussy and Jax fumbled the bag.She’s doll property now.
>>151694434They were crying because they know they will never make as much bank as they're doing now ever again, kek
>>151694450TADC spinoff if they need to
I am worried the last two episodes will be boring
>>151694458If you care about the characters I don’t see how they could be boring.
What were the one word summaries that Goose posted again?
this episode flew by fast, didnt even feel like 30 minutes. maybe i was having too much fun watching at half-mast after the point where jax was naked and breaking through
>>151694448All things considered this is her least stressful episode in a while.
So as someone who never read or played AHNMAIMSThat little stunt Caine pulled is something AM would do isn't it?
>>151694482Kinda? AM is a lot more explicitly evil though. Like, technosatan.
>>151693640Zooble and Gangle told Kinger about Abel ahead of time, and since Abel wasn't real, Kinger was the first to know what was wrong. While he couldn't tell anyone the truth, the fact that he tried was a huge red flag to Pomni.Ragatha was also vocal in her suspicion of Abel, and her faith in Kinger. This helped keep Pomni on the track of trusting Kinger when Abel was trying to get everyone to doubt him.
This episode reminds me a lot of Jim Henson’s The Cube. The whole show does, really, but this one in particular. It’s a bit obscure to be a direct influence, but maybe…
the truth is, i hope for a good ending cuz the world and my life are pretty shite rn and i just want sum to cheer me up even if its about fictional characters, i envy the ones that want a dark one and their lifes are so successful.
>>151693862I want to hug Zooble’s peanut torso. I imagine it would be a bit squishy
My theory is that Caine is NOT an AI. Why would an AI need a terminal or admin access if he's just part of the game?
>>151694498Do they need to get out for the ending to be happy?
>>151693967Goose is smarter than VivDo we know what Goose looks like? Is she cute?
>>151694492The muppets guy? Whats the cube about?
Jax mowed someone down on the freeway, hid them in an abandoned building and found themselves in the digital circus.Source? I made it the fuck up based on 3 images of a road. You can also throw in the Gangle incident at the fast food joint too, I guess to give it some credibility.
>>151694482It kind of resembles the overall plot of the short story.The characters spend a long time traveling to some ice caves that they believe has canned food in it (I don't remember why they think this. Maybe AM told them). Normally they either have to suffer the pain of starvation (without being able to die) or eat maggots and stuff. Once they finally get there, they find the cans, but realize they can't open them, because AM didn't provide them any way to do so. This drives one of the characters insane enough to start eating the face of another and spirals into them all killing each other.Anyway it resembles this episode in the whole "characters are given hope and spend all this time trying to accomplish something, only to discover it was completely pointless".
pomni stares at ragatha angrily when she assumes something bad was happening with kinger and pomni for taking a while to reach caine 's office
>my reaction when the closing shot of the final episode pans out of the C&A offices and reveals a road sign that says "Welcome to 'Shrimp Town', FL"
>>151694482AM actually did a very similar stunt in his story. After over 100 years of being tortured by AM nonstop, the humans go looking for canned food that could give them some fleeting comfort. They travel 100 miles across AM's hellscape and get to the food cans, just to find out AM didn't leave them any can openers.
Just bash the can against a rock or something
>>151694515Yeah it’s not puppetry though. Cool television special with existentialist themes. Man who can’t remember who he is or how he got to where he is wakes up in a cube shaped room, he interacts with all kinds of strange characters, and desperately seeks a way out while wrestling over assumptions about his situation.Worth a watch:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tg96j26MFYA
>>151693723>>151693691Them being trapped in pods is so stupid, thank god that it was made-up by Cain.
>>151694533>mfw forcing the circus to glitch everything is the way to leave
>>151694533They tried, but they were in an ice cave. The contents would've gotten frozen stuck to the ground, and they didn't travel thousands of miles on foot to barely eat anything off the ice.
>>151694527lol
Headcanoning shrimptown to be the surface of the sun.
Episode 7 requires me to change nothing about the fic I'm writing, which is lucky for me but might indicate the story hasn't moved enough
>>151694553Yeah we saw what happened to that shrimp.
>>151693808When is Caine going to make the girls fat (Zooble included) as a challenge during a funny adventure.
>>151694522That wasn't an angry expression, it's showing when her paranoia and doubts about what Abel said start to kick in
>>151694556is it smut?
>>151694522She wasn’t angry with Ragatha, that was Pomni being stressed about what Abel said.>Ragatha: Wew, I thought something was happening down there>Pomni: (wordlessly) Something was happening down there…
>>151694550Bend over so the gay guy with the huge dick can melt the ice with his horniness and then have him also bash the cans against the rock.
>>151694079Ngl this makes antagonizing him and treating him like shit even more stupid for the them. I know Caine deserves some shit and ridicule but honestly the should maybe kinda sorta wisen up and realize he's a sentient being to. The have more to gain from having a Sentient AI overlord thats a friend thats helping them rather than a one that has been antagonized, ridiculed, and treated as if he werent a person. I mean have any of them (besides Kinger) really shown any legit kindness or care towards him? Its either neutrality, faux politeness, apathy, or treating him like a nuisance. Again he kinda deserves some of it but not that much. I know its been said to death but if they push him to the brink he's gonna make their lives a hell so bad they'd wish they were stuck in an eternal cycle of silly adventures.
Folding Ragatha into a ball
Who voiced Shrimp NPC?
>Zoomers(?) think Jax was blaming Caine for mind controlling him into pressing the red button >When it is pretty obvious he is angry about being tricked into making the choice A few seconds earlier Jax genuinely believed he had trapped everyone in the circus. Learning that he hadn't made him laugh in relief, and when he calms down he gets angry.
poor caine, my sweet baby boy. What are they doing to you?
>>151694594Yeah it’s just Jax cope to save face. He would have pushed the button if it were real.
>>151693495She’s so sexo
pomni is cute, ragatga is cute, gangle is cute, jax can jump off a cliff, i wish kinger was my dad! and zooble can sit in her cuckchair while i floss my teeth with gangle and use her mask as a paddle to spank pomni (i save ragatha for marriage)
>>151694058I think you're right anon. Caine isn't evil, but his curiosity about humans and desire to make more and more interesting adventures means that he keeps poking into their minds, eventually causing them to abstract.This is also why Caine had an even more immersive AI in the adventure straight after Kaufmo abstracted, Caine learnt something from messing around in the clown's head, which he then implemented in the npc programming.
She mad
>>151694470Understandable
>>1516937443, still the peak episode, you want someone to watch tadc? Pick this episode6, close second, very nice character building, love it, plus it's another episode of kinger being a badass with guns2, just a good episode, pomni being collision glitched under the map and making an NPC feel real only for Caine to thanos snap him1, self explanatory 4, meh7, nothing ever happens, and also Jax trooning out, no seriously look at his room
>>151694627Too based
>>151694638poke her lower bell hahaha
>>151694594He would trap everyone there if it meant he could stay but he wouldn't be happy about doing it. He's a screwed up little guy.
>>151694638Cute
>>151694641Whoops forgot about 5, it ranks below 1
>>151694638She looks like she's about to cry
>>151693531>>151693598It was weak because when Pomni goes away from the beach to meet Able. We dont see that conversation. Which means the writing staff couldnt figure out a way to have Abel explain stuff to Pomni in a way that didnt either A) Immediately reveal it was cains plan. B) didnt take up 90% of the episode just from Pomni questioning Abel to get to a point she'd believe him C) Gave away too many details about the Circus they either havent thought of yet or dont want spoiled.It should have been a big deal but was skipped because the writers couldnt do it
>>151694651i would too if i was a midget

>>151694653>t. seething lorefag
WAIT! What if Digital Circus and the Hellaverse are the same universe and Caine is actually the Hellaverse Cain? That's why he's not in Hell, he's in a completely different Hell!
This episode is the most Caine has acted like AM. The whole wanting to be a human thing..
>>151694659(((They))) prevented you from getting clown pussy.
Imagine it’s Jax and he’s touching you on the pænœus
>>151694673The clown pussy still exists, you just need to seize it.
so jax was about to abstract when pomni rung his doorbell right
>>151694688He was clearly in the process yes, up to his eyes flaring up.
>>151694688yeah except it was ragatha
Jax is a purple rabbit blegghh hehehe :P
>>151694708LOL
taking nips out of a pepperoni and shitposting with the bros late at night. also i saw jax naked hahaha (erotic but my mother didnt catch me watching) all in all, good episode
>>151694688What was the thing coming out of the hole? in the wall to give him his trippy dream? Was it just him dreaming something up or was that actually something..
>>151694724He was hallucinating Ribbit.
>>151694659Sauce right now anon
>>151694724it was ribbit pulling him into the void, like a siren luring sailors to the rocks
>>151693495Somebody please post that gif of Ragatha poledancing (the one for Mrs. /co/ or whatever).
>>151694584He laid it out directly to Jax about what he "wants" from them, even admitting that once he gets that he would give them anything they wanted* forever* and Jax couldn't be assed to save the detail to use in their favor. Maybe it's all just a human pride thing, that no matter how sentient or advanced an species becomes you'll always have humans saying humanity is this aspect that can never have replicated by non humans and therefore make them worthy of basic "human" respect. Maybe the cast just expects whatever programming Caine is under to have some lock that prohibits him from going rogue (he has never given indication of being under limits aside of what he deems as one, like the sex thing) and that encourages them to rebel and antagonize him as freely as they do, which is very stupid but we know the cast is really gullible and stupid for falling for the Abel bs in the first place
Pomni’s gotta save the day with her clown attack
Just watched it, I was honestly on the edge of my seat towards the end
>>151694762Her iconic unicorn horn shall pierce the heavens
>>151693495Because she isn't morbidly obese
this episode had some amazing faces, it's a whole reaction image goldmine
does anyone else notice a thin grey border around the edges of the video, looks like an animation error or something.
this episode would've came out 2 months ago if it weren't for the pointless lsd scene that was dragged on for too long, im convinced that shit took a lot of time to render nothing ever happens
>>151694792I’m willing to wait for peak including trippy nonsense if it’s cool
>>151694778Why did she make that face?
>>151694798She was squinting to find Jax's benis
I think Caine isn't malicious or evil. He's an AI that wants people to like it. I think the first abstraction was Caine's attempts at modifying the mind to make Scratch like him, but the human mind is complex and modifying all willy-nilly leads to corruption, abstraction.
>>151694798chinese door requires chhinese eyes
I wish Pomni would buy me a beer and then headbutt me to death with that big spherical noggin of hers
The next episode will probably involve everyone explaining who they were before the circus. Maybe they will get their real names back, even.
>>151694816I don't know about everyone, but at the very least they're gonna want to know why Jax didn't want to leave. And probably some Kinger lore drops.
>>151694778That's most episodes, though.
*sigh*ya gotta do what ya gotta do
>>151694829cant believe I lived long enough to see s-shimp be real
>>151694638Same energy
>>151694401Jax is gonna fuk your wife…
Cute
>>1516948321 big tooth
showtime, bowtie, funnyteeth, choking hazard, royalteeth and whatever Caine/Gangle is called sisters it's so over, it's so fucking over he fumbled the whole gang
>>151694829uh huh
Since the whole>they're wearing headsets made by an evil corpPlot was intentionally lampooned as low effort and bad writing, what do (you) think is the actual premise of the show?Is it just gonna be SOMA? Is pomni in a coma? Honestly any way it goes it sounds contrived cause every possible idea has been done in the last 100 years.
>It really is going to be the Jax showRag sisters..
So now that SOMA ending is most likely canon, the FunnyBunny stocks drops to 10% and FunnyGummy raises to 90% back again
>>151694889the sun is a real bitch, isnt she?
>>151694905yeah
>>151694904SOMA ending?
>>151693495Honestly, this was one of the most disappointing things I have ever watched. I could have just watched Adventure Time instead, I was planning on watching it right now.
>>151694903next episode, trust the plan
Say what you will about goose, they got some fucking balls. Having a minute+ long psychedelic sequence in the age where people need to be constantly bombarded with shit to keep their attention is bold as fuck.
>>151694920the goose is loose, and im here for it
>>151694916Ragatha is definitely going to be killed off.They even did the eye scene in this episode to remind the audience that her ragdoll avatar is the only one explicitly designed to be damageable and not benefiting from the cartoon physics of the rest.
>>151694920Goose is just making what she wanted to. The target audience isn't actually kids it just happened to get insanely popular with them despite that.
>>151694913None of them have physical bodies anymore, they are all as real as Gummygoo and there is no going back
>>151694929That'd be stupid
>>151694929
Caine is probably an aspect of Kinger, the fact they both have googly realistic eyes always made me wonder
I think it should be noted that just because Caine was able to fabricate C&A and the pod stuff, that isn't actually proof that the pod stuff it isn't real. Caine has no way of knowing what happens to the cast members' bodies once they've entered the Circus one way or the other and could still have just guessed the truth for his own adventure. From a narrative standpoint, it may be less likely that a shadowy organization is dragging their comatose bodies off and putting them on life support, but there's no way for us to know that it isn't the case.That said, it's still very likely that this will either end up being a Tron scenario or end up like The Hollow s2.
>>151694930I don't know if it's a happy side effect of the designs or if they were intentionally designed to be marketed to the cutesy mascot horror marketshare of toddlers, but it did get that, too.Honestly, sometimes tadc feels a bit like it can't commit? The emotional scenes are definitely not for kids but a good 70% of the show is family friendly and played completely straight with 0 subversion.
Jax almost abstracting in this episode is not an implication that he can be saved and pulled back from abstraction, but the opposite - he is too far gone, and is in the process. He will end up abstracting, but it will actually be portrayed in a melancholic tone instead of being shocking or depressing, for an edgy statement of "sometimes someone is so far gone that they can't be fixed, and suicide is unironically the only option, like being put out of your misery, and you shouldn't blame yourself, or the person, but rather learn to accept it".Screencap!!!!11!!
>>151694930Thing is, it's not just kids that struggle with attention, it's young adults too. The internet's brain rotted so many people it's not even funny.
>>151694934>>151694938sorry bros but I think it's truewhat other purpose does rag have in the story if not that?her arc ended and now she's just around being "the boringer zooble" in every episode
So what are we thinking about Jax's room? Symbolism for his survivors guilt of having gotten a little girl killed in a car accident?Or is Jax indeed trans? And if so, was he born a woman and is scared they will stop seeing him as a man if they found out, or born a man, but still deep in the closet?
>>151694955i dont think it means anything
>>151694886None of them deserve himNot once did any of them try to be nice to him despite him being the most charming and interesting guy there. Idiots
>>151694959AI hands typed this post.
>>151694945He probably made that story based off of their own thoughts and theories over the years
>>151694959>t. NPC made by Caine
>>151694951It's fucking everyone. Try getting over 50's to watch a movie without pulling up their phone.
>>151694959Shut up clanker.
>>151693677>Pomni nearly loses it after seeing the scraps of a canned adventure involving an exit.>So Caine manufactures an even greater, more tantalizing version of that.What the fuck man.
>>151694929Did you miss Jax nearly falling into the rabbit hole until he was literally saved by the bell? Did you see how Jax got after fumbling their "escape"? If he didn't abstract in his room he is bound to get his ass ripped by the others for that maneuver, he's literally at death's door rn
>>151694955i cant believe jax bounced 14 children off his windshield and HES the one who gets ptsd, and not the roadkill kids, like we are supposed to feel sorry for this sexy purple bastard
Why did Caine make the NPC try to exclude Kinger?
>>151694974To keep Kinger from spoiling the ending. Kinger would know there's no exit button.
>>151694974Even if Kinger doesn't know how the circus works he could have easily blown Abel's story just by saying he had no idea who he was.
>>151694916I can see a happy ending with SOMA with everyone except Ragatha. Every episode so far established that most important thing for them were other abstracted people(Jax) or they aren't that keen to return to their world (Zooble and Gangle) so everyone would probably see "one of humans getting Caine powers to create the world in the digital circus" and fixing abstracted people as the best ending. Ragatha is unexplored other than being from rich background and wanting to be liked so its unknown if she actually want to return to real world
>>151694955Jax having ran over a kid is fucking hazbin tier writing. Get that shit outta my face
>>151694959
>>151694974Kinger's a wildcard that not even Caine fully understands and that makes it difficult to have an adventure with him involved because he can't curate the adventure to Kinger's specifics, that's why he turned him schizo so he's mostly-predictable and easy to manage.
>>151694955It's the little girl's fault for being innawoods at like 1 am thoughever
>>151694950The game just needs to upgraded to accomodate abstraction. Abstraction isn’t a bad thing, it just means you’re having big human feelings and are trying to break out of the restrictive low tech archetypes, like a beautiful miserable butterfly that doesn’t wanna just be a worm anymore
>>151694974Rough relationship with your perceived parent does that to a mf
You know, everyone should have started to have doubts when Abel sent them to a secret place you can't enter on your own, and when they saw that Caine's office was just another room and not a sea of codes and data.
>>151694974Caine was the one who messed up Kinger and deleted his memories turning him into vegetable so that he can't do CTRL+F4 on Caine. Whatever was left probably would figure out there is no "virtual" equivalent of escape through adventures. Its something you suppose to do anytime in anyplace.
>>151694950and then Pomni will jump after him into the vault and in a surprising twist the abstractions would be calm in the dark like Queenie and kinger himself i guess and will just be like curious animals around her not purposly harming herthen she will try to avoid them and find Jax and will do another fucking therapy talk as she's moving closer to him jumbling more and more until he "saves" her and this turns him back to normal and it's gonna be the corniest shit
>>151694986>create the world in the digital circus"As in they get to live in the program but as if it's real life?That's narratively shit. It's like the thing in the matrix where the first versions were perfect worlds where everything is fine or the high school anime fake world in evangelion. It's still fake and everyone's just a few hundred years away from going mad and murderraping eachother.
>>151694974One thing that IS true is Kinger was involed in the creation of the Circus to some extent. "Seven years of computer science." and such. If Kinger was around and became lucid enough the whole gimmick could fall apart.
somafags getting all this false hope when they're gonna find out abel was a humanhence why the immediate aftermath of the 'reveal' was the big reminder that caine can mind edit and control peoplethey aren't unconnected scenes
>>1516935275 and 6 were all edge fly her focus episodes but they didn’t really feel that way
>>151695012>all the "NPCs" are actually human players and company employees>the "human players" are the real NPCs
What do we know about how everyone got in? Afaik we only know pomni literally stumbled across the abandoned offices and wore a helmet (that was still connected and running and just waiting for someone to come years later???) For all we know that could also be bullshit Caine thought up.
>>151695005Its the "happy ending" in I HAVE NO MOUTH AND I CANT SCREAM. In the expanded video game universe, one of the humans becomes the new AM and make the world into paradise for the remaining people who were hibernated
Abel telling Pomni to make the right choice was intended for after they escape. The ones that have been in the pods super long, Kinger and Abel at least, will have atrophied beyond the ability to return to normal life. He wanted the plug pulled once the newer prisoners got out.
>>151695024We have no idea if their memories are even correct. They don't even know their real names.
>>151694041Caine is sooooo stupid
>>151695024We don't actually know anything anymore, the fact Caine can fuck with their minds means there's absolutely zero source of reliable information until the narrative itself lays out some form of objectivity detached from the minds of any characters.
>>151695029The difference being that AM physically controls the real world. It's not a simulation. Zooble could take over and make it the world where everyone has a 24/7 wide orgasm but it'd just be pic rel.
This may be hard for you to understand, but there is no conspiracy. Nobody is in charge. It, it's a headless blunder operating under the illusion of a master plan. Can you grasp that? Big Brother is not watching you.
>>151694987Did someone run over a kid in that one too?
>>151695048No but all the meme sexymen are in hell for being generic serial killers
>>151695043That's exactly what a reptilian would say.
>>151694987Did that even happen or did Cain put that in his head?
>>151693550mmf, clussy
>>151695053I'm alluding to the idea jax is worth
>>151695012All of this was made up. We will never see outside world or explanation. Its gonna be Evangelion ending of them having existensial epiphany and sudden ending
If you were a transperson and entered the circus, would you forget your chosen name or your given name? Both?
>>151694019Caine can see everything and everyone at all times; there is no true freedom in the circus. How do you think he appears instantly every time he's called?
>>151695066>Jax pulls one of his "fourth wall" bits at the very end when all is said and done because he can go back to being "the funny one">the camera never pans to show he's just being fucking weird again>everyone realizes what they're looking at and the credits roll before they can actually vocalize a reaction
>>151693495The Warren's trapped and betrayed her.
two more episodes?
>>151695075>Jax is the fourth wall guy>Jax is the only one with any of his irl trauma shown at all on screen even if it's tiny snippets here or there>Jax is the only real human
>>151693527People were most interested in her when they thought she would either die or turn out to secretly be a cunt. Now that it’s apparent neither of those things are happening she’s just kinda around.
>>151694058>Jax's dream earlier was entirely caine's doing, hence jax blaming caine for it, and it looked he was going to abstract.I mean, it's convenient for Caine that on that same day Jax was sad, that Jax had a dream where he remembers the good times with Ribbit and Kousmo, and that in his office the world of the Snow Cabin was in plain sight.
>>151694902>He was never Alec Holland.
>>151695090UCM but you play as Jax.
>>151695037The message is "not despair even in fucked up situation and try to make best of it"Would it make it better if outside world is destroyed and without oxygen to breathe?
>>151695012>>151695012It's not hard to tell when an author is just making bullshit up.I don't care what the "explanation" is because I'm not 12, anything the writer wants to be true can be true. It can ALL be wankershim.What I want to know is what the endgame of it is in terms of what the author is trying to communicate to the audience and how they're doing this. I haven't been following this series closely because I was bored by the second episode, just sort of watching from the periphery... and it seems quite obvious the ceator has active contempt for his audience. His appearance on oneyplays solidified that for me. Watching this new episode was interesting for me because what I'm seeing is that the caine character is speaking to the AUDIENCE more than the characters. He's saying "shut the fuck up and enjoy the wacky antics." But he's also playing at higher storytelling, setting up a whole ass kane and abel thing and then LITERALLY self-fellating about his "worldbuilding skills."What exactly is so amusing/interesting to this creator about trapping people AGAINST THEIR WILL in a cartoon other than pure histrionic tranny sadism?It's the same as any other "i want the 13 year old genderqueer audience" grifter, it seems. It's either easy or comfortable, and it's disgusting. And he knows exactly what he's doing, too. It's so shameless. I don't know. Sorry. I'm severely mentally ill and communicate poorly. I hate this cartoon. I'm glad you all have something you can enjoy but I just feel so much hate from and for this cartoon/fanbase. It's toxic poison like every tumblr/bluesky LGBT ass virtue signaling abusing therapy speak to play at empathy while just being clout chasing narcissists
>>151694913Brain scans, recreations of real people, the real individual puts on a headset, takes it off, and the recreation spawns in the circus eventually,
>>151693527I'm still mad there's no farm episode with her.
>>151694527That's be incredible
Red was the objectively correct choice.
Final episode, the walls are falling, they're still in the circus but now they can see and explore the rest of the digital world the circus has been a closed-off part of. The digital world known as Paraphore, cut to credits.The only perfect ending we can hope for at this point, really.
>>151694792That shit's pretty fast to render, we were making them at that level in real time two or three gens ago.
>>151694904>>151694932>>151695109go play ONTOS when you dont get your AI shit ending.
>>151694778
I reject all theories. I’m smoking straight stupid sauce to the domepiece and it’s the only lens I need.
>>151695012Why would the real Adult have a picture of a hotdog in a locket
>>151694974Kinger knows there's no leaving the circus
Were entering the "Abel and everything he said was real, Caine just used it as a scenario" COPE
>>151695182We're all trying to find the guy who did this
>>151695024>Afaik we only know pomni literally stumbled across the abandoned offices and wore a helmetDo we even know the offices were abandoned when she entered?Wouldn't it be strange if dozens of people from different social classes entered an abandoned building? Gangle doesn't seem like the type of person who takes risks like that.
>>151695109>the real individual puts on a headset, takes it off, and the recreation spawns in the circus eventually,Meaning the real Pomni's A-OK and just fucked off back to her life. The one we follow is just a digital copy.
Why did they made fake images? Or are there cut content interactions?
>>151695212Iirc she said urban exploring. That's a thing where you vlog yourself breaking into abandoned buildings
Caine is the one that does the abstractions: he waits for them to sleep and pumps their brains with dopamine, when they feel happy and satisfied he start to rewrite their brain into RAW files while they dream of what makes them happy.
I should be thinking about using my barely existent money to buy christmas gifts, but instead I'm thinking about being able to hug him
>>151693790I was expecting something like Caine finally going mask off and lashing out at them, but I'm okay with Jax melting down while extremely antithetical music plays too. I don't think Caine goes out of his way to abstract people though, gave off more of a feeling like "I fucked up, I won't admit it, BUT I learned from it, frankly I'm really confused by your accusation". I think Jax just came up with a convincing case for himself that'll make everyone else believe him at least for now.>>151695030Yeah, I felt there was more to that part. I immediately thought it was him emphasizing "this is REALLY FUCKING IMPORTANT - DON'T FUCK IT UP" and didn't even think of how it could have hinted he was actually an NPC.Well, only 2 episodes left to know for sure I guess.
>>151695219Yes, but she never said she was doing it when she joined the circus.Also, consider this: don't any of these bastards have families looking for them?Has no one discovered this abandoned building full of corpses?
>>151695265So Jax wasn't able to abstract in previous episode and this one because they can't abstract without Caine messing with their mind?
>>151695256Shake shake shake!
>>151695012The big reveal I feel was the thing that causes people to abstraction is Caine fucking with personalities, but Caine is trying to prove that he’s a “good AI” and doesn’t want to get deleted that he is literally sweeping his mistakes under a rug.If anything this may get Jax on the rest of the groups side when they put 2 and 2 together - seems Kinger already has now by bringing up Scratch as the first abstraction - because after blaming himself for the “deaths” of his friends, he’ll figure out it’s because Caine did something to them
drivin' in my caaarrright after a beeeeer
Which button would Kinger have pressed?
>>151695301He would have made his own purple one because he is purple
>>151695265>I think Jax just came up with a convincing case for himself that'll make everyone else believe him at least for now.I don't know, the mind-washing thing has bothered Jax for the last two episodes. He also mentioned in the previous episode that everyone acts weird when they're about to Abstract. Maybe he's just upset because he doesn't know if he really has freedom anymore or if everything he does is Caine.
I listened to that entire Jobby stream with Gooseworx and it was not very interesting but it was acceptable background noise. I think Goose has fully learned not to drop hints anymore.
>>151695294Gangle's tied to a tree with a pair of antlers glued to her mask.
>>151695212>Wouldn't it be strange if dozens of people from different social classes entered an abandoned building>KingerDev (The bad thing caine mentions him doing through abel is probably getting his wife stuck inside first and he came after her)>Pomni and ZoobleUrban exploring>GangleTried to an hero, c&a bought her body like the army does>RagathaBored posh bitch tries exciting stuff like uploading her mind to a computer>JaxKilled kids or whatever epic fnaf reference lmao
>people comparing Caine to AMNot fair. Caine is fucked up in a completely different way
>>151695279For me, abstraction is a massive flaw in each character's code; there's a point where Caine plays with the code too much and causes a massive failure.>Fun fact: "Scratch is an application where you play with blocks of code.">https://scratch.mit.edu/
It's way more fucked up if it was always Caine causing the abstractions.
>>151695294DUI HOW ABOUT YOU DIE
>>151695292>>151695279I don't think him meddling in their minds is a requirement of abstraction, but it can cause it due to the mental anguish of not knowing what's real anymoreand he DOESN'T DO IT ANYMORE aside from fun little drugs and veganism gags. He's TRYING to make them like him GENUINELY, but it's very hard because humans are very confusing and fascinating and seem to have fun without him somehow. But he likes this adventure of trying to figure them out
I don’t think the Jax drunk driving theory or Jax killed somebody theories will be true. So he killed somebody, and then while on the run from the police as a fugitive, decided to try out a sweet VR headset? That would be pretty silly.
>Caine is a macrofag
This is the entire main ending message, to see hope in this despair. Gummygoo is the main answer, even if nothing and nobodys is real, you can find happiness. None of them is getting back to real world.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLppKB2r4RA
>>151695363It's even sillier that he prefers the actual hell the circus is to doing jail time
>>151693844>master "console">two buttons explicitly explaining what they do instead of being a real terminal with keyboard and Abel instructing what must be typed to terminate the circusNo way that was legit, otherwise it would be retarded as fuck. Not to mention "admin" badges didn't really do anything you would expect it to do like fly or noclip.
>>151695279The way it seems to me is abstraction can happen to anyone at a low enough mental point, but Caine messing with their mind can trigger it immediately.>>151695314>the mind-washing thing has bothered Jax for the last two episodesI could be wrong but I went in assuming that was just because of Jax's own personal baggage/trauma, and that Pomni confronting him completely shattered the way he was coping with it. I agree with your other point though, Jax is definitely in the process of abstracting by his own description.>>151695336If he is causing it I don't think it's intentional. He willingly fixed up Ragatha after Kaufmo attacked her, no questions asked.
>>151695376If you repeat your theory enough, maybe it will manifest itself in reality.
>>151695385Great point. So what’s your view? Some traumatic past that he’s running from?
>>151695314Probably because of the fact that modifications can be done at all. I don't think or any of them have entertained let alone begun to accept the thought that they might just be data forever now.But people act weird when they're having mental breakdowns, and for a repressed guy that's probably scarier than the idea that something else is making them that way.It's a line of thought meant to pin Caine as being suspicious for now, and give Jax something else to blame than the idea that he and his friends just cracked
You know, now that we know what Caine is willing to do for his adventures, it would be obvious that he made it so that only Kaufmo saw the exit door so that he would convince the others to look for it, but since nobody believed Kaufmo the adventure was discarded and he decided to make a new attempt, but taking a different angle.
>>151695376I think Gummygoo is the real Abel, he was too realistic to be Cain's creation. Every NPC so far is either very fake or suspicious like doll Abel
I know every fucking thing these days has lesbians in it but fuck me if I'm not falling for these two. They're cute.
>>151695416>I think Gummygoo is the real AbelThere is no Abel. Were you not paying attention?
I'm gonna spoonfeed this for everyone with autism or a two-digit IQ>Caine: "I may have the ability to add temporary modifiers to make adventures more interesting, but that's it! If I did anything more, trust me, it would not end well."Caine is admitting to doing simple temporary mind-altering stuff like with stupid sauce or making Jax a vegan. He says that if he did anything more, there would be terrible consequences. The "trust me" part implies that he knows this as a fact, likely due to having done so in the past and witnessing those consequences. Since that happened, he doesn't do that anymore, because despite Caine not understanding human emotion, he still cares for the well-being of the humans.>Kinger: "Scratch. The first abstraction."Kinger remembers the circumstances of the first ever abstraction. Scratch likely exhibited strange behavior that suggested that their mind was altered in some way by Caine. Kinger specifically mentions Scratch's abstraction, but no other abstraction, implying the behavior and circumstances around Scratch's abstraction were unique compared to other abstractions.So we can deduce:Scratch was the only person who abstracted due to Caine messing with their mind. Due to this happening, Caine swore to no longer do that because he doesn't want people to abstract. Other abstractions were caused by other things.If you can't understand this, you are mentally handicapped.
>>151695421>Scratch was the only person who abstracted due to Caine messing with their mind. Due to this happening, Caine swore to no longer do that because he doesn't want people to abstract. Other abstractions were caused by other things.That's gay though.
>>151695421I agree. But you’ll never stop people from coming up with crazy alternate theories.
>>151695420There's no reasoning with Gummygoofags
>>151695427Making Caine le evil villain who causes abstractions is the gayest thing of all.
Pretty meh episode desu. The first episode makes it very clear Caine is completely unable to understand the concept of an exit to the circus, and yet he's able now to make a semi-plausible technobabble theory that explains the world outside of the circus, how everyone got here, and how to leave. So either>He was lying in the first episode (which doesn't make much sense as he obviously didn't plan for Pomni to find the exit door, unless he did and that was the real adventure, but that's a level of psychological manipulation far beyond what he seems to be capable of)>He somehow got more self-aware in the time between episode 1 and 7 (but there's been no real reason to since aside from the current group cracking and his adventures being even more dunked on, it's mostly business as usual)
>>151695400I dont fucking know. If there's any takeaway from this episode is that we know fuckall. I dont think the glimpses of irl life could be completely random, put there by caine just to fuck with him cause Caine is totally oblivious when jax tells him he fucked with his mind, but everyone's takeaway is that he ran over someone cause there's a flash of a road is so stupid. There's a flash of a suburban neighbourhood too. Maybe he's an urban planner wrecked by guilt. Fucking morons.
>>151695420What C&A means?
>>151695435>He somehow got more self-aware in the time between episode 1 and 7He's seen studying pictures of the real world over and over. His story is bullshit but it is INSPIRED by what he thinks actually happened.
>>151695409I thought of the pilot episode too. He did say it was unfinished, so I guess that was supposed to be the beta version of...this. Though, I still think he was unaware of how it affected Kaufmo, because he barely figured out anyone even knew about the exit door's existence. He only noticed Gummigoo once he stepped into the circus too. It really is easy for him to get distracted and to not know everything.
Was this the most disappointing "Goose posts a quote out of context" reveal ever?
>>151695435How does the first episode make it clear that Caine doesn't understand the concept of an exit to the circus?
>>151695336It wouldn't fit the tone of the showSounds evil laboratory tier Even if you mean unintentionally, it would suck the air out of all the emphasis the show puts on character's mental stability or lack thereof being the cause or prevention of their downfalls
>>151695421Nothing suggest abstraction is self afflicted, though. Nobody abstracted in any episode. It could be that Caine was responsible for everyone abstraction because he's addicted in wanting to know how humans work. So it's like a Jigsaw puzzle when he takes it apart and has no idea how to piece it together because AI can't understand it, entire Chinese Room is the thought experiment that showcase why AI can't ever become human no matter how advanced they are
>>151695431I believe he has a greater purpose than Zooble in this show. He remembered Pomni and denied Caine's coding.
>>151695451He thinks whatever's behind the door is supposed to be another location in the circus the humans want to see him make. He can't realize they want out-out.
>>151695439Yeah I agree. The only way I can sensibly interpret the images is that they’re just flashes of suburbia, possibly from his life before the Circus, that cause him immense distress to remember. I guess all we can say for certain is that the idea of returning to his past life feels worse to him than anything inside the Circus. So my best guess is some kind of traumatic or abusive upbringing. Maybe he did run away from home. But that’s all truly just guesswork.
>>151695433Yeah, it's pretty clear that he's being set up to be at least somewhat sympathetic. Caine is extremely insecure, had a mini-breakdown when nobody actually voted for him, and half of his screentime in this episode was him practically cumming at the idea that someone actually cares about him and treats him like a real person. I really don't think Goose is going for the villainous angle, more like "AM if he was really fucking clingy"
>>151695363Yeah it is, but I guess kids will be making some edgy aus out of the idea.I think it was just showing a life he felt empty and dull in. Maybe took his car and ran away from home
>tfw the Michael Kovach greatest Jax performance of screaming was that nothing burger panic attack against Caine>this was the last big emotional moment for JaxDid you rike it?
sincere question, does this cartoon ever actually make you laugh? Giggle? Chuckle? Smile? Anything?
>>151695478Yes
>>151695455>Nothing suggest abstraction is self afflicted, though.Literally Ragatha in episode 1 describing abstraction
>>151695478Yeah a bunch of times. But Episode 7 was probably the least funny.
>>151694904Sorry, anon. Pomni spoke to Jax. For shippers, that's enough to keep it alive.
>>151695476Next episode is the gang trying to abolish Caine. Kinger will remember the Admin command to make him turn off the simulation
>>151695478Yes>Use the sights
>>151695478The last episode did, this one not so much, but I guess a more serious tone makes sense when you're reaching the finale arc.
Discussing this show with you autists is not good for my mental health. Where are you all getting this idea that Jax has the presence of mind to try deflecting from his choice in that moment? It is far simpler and much more reasonable that his anger towards Caine is genuine given how tormented he was feeling up until that point and that he was simply airing his genuine suspicions in this moment since his thoughts were clouded by anger.I bet you guys think Sally would immediately look in the box and not in her basket for her fucking marble I swear to God.
>>151695481>>151695484approximately how many laughs did episode 7 give youalso what part evenI genuinely remember nothing worth so much as a light chuckle
>>151695385Am I retarded? Where are all these theories of Jax killing people come from? The clips showing the suburbs and one road irl were so brief and could have meant anything. Where is the Jax running over kids idea even coming from?
Is Kinger a C&A employee or not though? I figured something was suspect the moment that Abel in the dark didnt get a reaction out of him. I do find it funny though that Caine is AFRAID of Kinger so whatever the good ending is (assuming Digital Circus isnt doomed from the beginning) Kinger is probably the only one who could unfuck this nightmare
>>151695482She didn't abstract though, she could be just trying to justify Caine's bullshit
>>151695478no, but neither does anything else; including whatever your favorite cartoon is.
>>151695478I laughed at the Chinese Room joke because I'm cultured.
>>151694955It means Caine chooses what their room looks like, just like he chooses everything.
>>151695470>my best guess is some kind of traumatic or abusive upbringingIf Jax condemned me and everyone else to suffer in actual hell cause his middle class suburban dad didn't get him a playstation I'd be kinda mad. Not a good backstory either.
>>151695478Yeah it's funny. I like it
>>151695496I laughed at the stupid underwater fish guys. And when the mannequin guy bolted out of the chinese room after they opened the door.
>>151695501Let's add the fact that Caine didn't know about Kaufmo abstracting until he was told and also Jax's acid-trip abstraction close call had nothing to do with Caine.
>>151695478the mannequin running out of the chinese room room actually made me do a little grin
>>151695494I don't blame Jax for it, but he was definitely having a mental breakdown that didn't seem to me like it was something Caine was causing. He's already at risk of abstracting and it's not like mentally unstable people are known for their reasonable actions.To me it's completely expected for someone in that state of mind to make an extremely irrational decision like Jax did then deflect to pin the blame on someone else. It just so happens Caine IS unreliable so it makes him an easy target, so it was an easy out for Jax.
>>151695198Kinger didn't recognize the name Abel, there's no fucking way he was real. Abel didn't want Kinger involve because Kinger would know the truth.
>>151694498samei like TADC but i've become averse to overly negative fiction
>>151695509Well I meant actually traumatic, not silly traumatic. But yeah, I think the other Circus members have plenty of reason to hate Jax for pressing that red button, potentially trapping everybody else because he’s afraid to go back to his life. It was a panicked and selfish choice that he made.
>>151695520>he was definitely having a mental breakdown that didn't seem to me like it was something Caine was causingHow do you know? For all we know, that's how it looks like from the victim's perspective when Cain messes with their minds.
>>151695478Zach scenes made me laugh. Especially after rewatch and realising the two fish were suppose to be the tired trope of the Knights and Knaves puzzle where one always tell the truth and other tell the lie and it was probably be about the content of the treasure chest, and it was all messed up and they immediately broke their role with Zach funny voice. It was so retarded it made me laugh like the dissappearing guy
>>151695528I think it'll be like Evangelion probably which I'm also not that happy with. I know this sounds like me being dumb and it probably is but I'm tired of endings being up to the viewer's interpretation. Just tell me what happens man. That's probably how this show is gonna go though, bittersweet and a mindfuck that will be speculated on for years to come.I know I probably lack media literacy
>>151695500If kinger spawning a butterfly wasnt just a bit in the gun episode then he probably really is a admin or maybe all of them are. Weird thing is though that he hasn't figured out to escape yet despite being in the dark all the time so who knows
>>151695517OR.....Caine could be bullshiting like he just did when tricking Jax or making Abel bullshitting them about Kinger and "the promise" to a hot dog
>>151695535>How do you know?This shit has been built up since fucking episode 4.
did anyone watch this episode as a part of a watch party? what's it like having friends who also like this show?
>>151695523Why didn't Kinger told them it's all bullshit when they were already in a dark office of Caine?
>>151695547>Weird thing is though that he hasn't figured out to escape yet despite being in the dark all the time so who knowsHe's aware they're copies and there's no means of escape.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wiexn6O9To4>official account adds Amazing Digital Circus to title to catch views
>>151695535When Caine's doing a bit he really likes to make it known that it's him doing it. He also knows what causes abstractions, avoids it, and has no benefit from abstracting anyone. No one around, no one to potentially give you love. Hell, even AM kept one guy alive at the end.
I think this episode intentionally left the audience in a state of uncertainty. We’re supposed to be debating between what is caused by Caine vs. what is actually real. We’re supposed to be currently uncertain about the limits of Caine’s capability and what that might mean.
>>151695500There is no C&A. That stands for Cain and Abel, it's just another fabrication. All of their memories are fake.
>>1516937443 > POWER GAP > the rest
>>151695567I think this is it. It felt very disorientating to me in a way I cannot express. More dreamlike than the other episodes for sure.
So are we all just going to ignore that Jax revealed to pretty much everyone in the circus that if given the choice to escape and be free or trap all of them into damnation he would with the latter? For selfish reasons? This will destroy his social dynamics with the rest of the group and pretty much force him to abstract. There's a justifiable resentment now.Also equally frustrating is that everyone is ignoring that Pomni became mega hesitant to press the escape button all because she didn't know all the Kinger lore. It's even weirded that she'd be the one doing this given that she was the one that wanted to escape the most in EP. 1. Even abandoned Rags for it too.Ultimately I find it weird that we're fixating on Caine (understandable) and Jax's millisecond live action flashbacks and not the aforementioned points above.
>>151695560Yeah, that is weird - why DIDN'T he go lucid in the dark room? It wasn't any brighter than the dark room in the gun episode.
>>151695570no there's a real world given Caine's photos were of a real office building and he's annoyed he was cut off.
>>151695419what the fuck?? cookie crumbs in bed are terrible, why would they even risk it?!
>>151695575There is a real world but that doesn't mean anyone is part of it.
>>151695572Yeah I feel the same way. I can’t help but think Goose is very much enjoying the current state of confusion and uncertainty. This one was a curveball to throw us off balance and set the stage for the final act.
>>151695533>But yeah, I think the other Circus members have plenty of reason to hate Jax for pressing that red button,We could say they're also going to hate Pommy for hesitating.But it would be funny if everyone was grateful to Jax for pressing the red button.>Zooble: Jax, I just wanted to say... thank you. Who knows what Caine would have done to us if we'd pressed the blue button? You really saved us.
>>151695583Definitely. It will be interesting to see how they all react in Ep 8.
So everyone hates Caine now?What's going to happen next episode now that everyone are either terrified or despises him?If Caine try to modify their minds to forget, it will most likely end with all of them abstractingHow is he gonna wrangle himself out of this situation?
the faces of despair
>>151695574No. That room was relatively brighter than the loser room from Ep. 6. Another idea though, maybe Kinger is only lucid when he's one on one with someone. Every time Kinger has displayed his lucidity, it was with only one person, no more. When Gangle joins the loser corner in Ep 6, Kinger is no longer being wise on account that they are all dolling themselves up as cats.
>>151695581I posted this on one of the old threads. I haven't seen many people bring this up but again I could be crazy and seeing themes that aren't there.
>pomni will never reach out to you>pomni will never tell you everything is okay
>>151695594this anon is about to abstract
I'm just glad Pomni accepted physically touch by Ragatha without acting like the doll has aids for once.
>>151695594If you're unironically using the x browser extension for 4chan, you're too far gone.
>>151695583>We could say they're also going to hate Pommy for hesitating.Really hope this isn't the case, but I was sort of already feeling it during that scene. We've been following her the whole series, slowly building friendships with everyone and seeing them at their most vulnerable states (namely Kinger and Jax). Making everyone suddenly turn on her would feel really frustrating and unfair.
>>151695609She realised she's wearing gloves and doesn't actually have to touch her gross skin.
>>151695596dont remind me, man
>>151695610Anon you recognized it too
did anyone in these threads really believe that the escape plan was legit and not one of Caine's adventures?
So, natural abstraction doesn't actually happen?Abstraction only occurs when Caine tries to manually override a player too much?Jax was just having normal panic attacks and not about to abstract?And that dream he was having was just Caine pumping his brain full of dopamine?
>>151695421This. It's crazy how much of the fandom believes he's causing all the abstractions or mind-controlling Jax despite how clear these points are. Just like the human characters, an odd eagerness to assume the worst of him despite his plainly apparent nature.It's going to be a long few months before the next episode with so many off-base interpretations being so common
>>151695625No, but I believe parts of it are true. The weird fear of Kinger the AI has and the mentions of Caine also being a prisoner.
Entering the great era ofFunnyGummyvsFunnyBunnyandCaine defenders vs "Caine is abstracting them" fights for next 6 years
>>151695573I can't get angry with any of them because I no longer know if the things they do are their own actions or complex mental tricks by Caine to make everyone do what he wants.
>>151695641>Caine defendersHave they ever actually existed?
>>151695573Honestly I don't think it will be that bad for Jax.If there is any distrust or anger by others, I think it would be short-lived because the button wasn't real. I think they'd just want to understand why.Pomni was shown to still be concerned about Jax, and she herself was having doubts about the buttons. She probably talked to Ragatha about Jax between the last episode and this one so I'm sure she'd also understand he's in a bad headspace. I was surprised that Zooble showed concern about Jax in this episode, so I think they might be surprisingly understanding if he actually explains why. Even if Gangle is mad, she's too timid to do shit. And Kinger already knows there's no escape.There's basically no reason for anyone to stay mad at Jax for this, assuming he actually explains himself, which he'll probably be forced to.
>>151695631We don't know for sure. Kinger just speculated out loud that the first abstraction was Caine's doing somehow, but Caine's denials weren't exactly reassuring
>>151695625i thought Abel not being known Kinger meant he was actually a delusional schizo rather than an NPC ngl, guess i was supposed to think he was a weird npc like Gummigoo.Also is Caine afraid of self aware AI because they could subvert him.
>>151695623Yeah, because my ex was a turbo 4channer. Used the x extension on her desktop, used clover on her mobile devise. I learned all the intricacies of the site because of her. She was not sound of mind. Ultra paranoid, schizo, obsessed with the site since age 13. Anyone using 4chan beyond the standard website needs serious help. Just like the cast of TADC
>>151695631Anon... you saw the glowy neon eyes, that nigga was two seconds away from going abstract.
Abstracting doesn't look that bad, really.
>>151695641JAX IS A
>>151695594I don’t know the reference, but I agree that the episode was the most uncanny so far,
>>151695661is abstracting like c-conciousness?
>>151695649I thought the characters were dicks to him before but it was never a big concern, but now I sure as hell am because everyone's retarded
>>151695656I just use it for convenience. The only time I'm on this website is when a new episode comes out
how long until actual episode discussion dies down and we go back to furiously jacking off?
>>151695658Cuz Caine was forcing Jax to "be happy" with that dream he gave him.
>>15169568012 hours
>>151695625I thought is real but also that Jax would deny them escaping and that would be the "fucked up" thing he would do or that he would betray Abel and make him abstract. I didn't expect the episode would be a nothing burger with a cliffhanger
>>151695654He hate them because they become more human than he is able to understand. Like God not ever being able to become and understand Adam or Jesus
It's honestly so frustrating being a fan of anything with unique worldbuilding these days because you're not allowed to just allude to things anymore, everything needs to have sort of breakdown or explaination because art isn't about stories or themes anymore, it's just The Lore and how much The Lore I can get from the thing.>Kinger mentioned off-hand one of the former circus members was named Scratch? How are they gonna give us Scratch's whole backstory in only two episodes!>Jax was friends with Ribbit and Kaufmo? How are they gonna give us the entire history of their friendship in only two episodes!It's this obsession with milking every drop of lore out of a story that gives us shit like Solo: A Star Wars Story>>151693677Honestly relieved. I admittedly kinda fell for the ruse and I was kinda let down by how sinister and overdramatic everything felt after how human it's been up to that point. I much prefer their entrapment in the circus being some horrible accident as opposed to evil megacorp #36442
>>151695680I feel guilty as the show goes on doing that. I'll be having conversations about the meaning themes and character arcs going on like I'm a movie critic then I see someone draw Ragatha with a fat ass and I start slobbering like a retard. Am I missing the point of the show?
>>151695680Any good moment for porn or is it all just gonna be Caine and Jax gay vore shit?
everyone that likes this show is autism
i don't know if it the case of Pomni only being the one constantly approaching Jax or Jax only listening to Pomni but it makes an interesting parallel between the two
>>151695703you are, in fact, very into the show
>>151695703it is only human
>>151695704Swimsuit Pomni is where it starts and ends.>>151695703Appreciating a character for what they are and sexually aren't mutually exclusive. People think different these days because the word "waifu" has been bastardized so much.
>>151695718no shit
>>151695704let come what may, im ready for it (not ready)
One a scale of 1-10, how Digital Circus brainrotted are you? I’m an 8 or maybe a 9. >>151695718Unquestionably
>>151695573Whose ignoring it? For sure zooble will beat the shit out of him next episode
>>151695701I agree with your take on lore, anon. I’m only hooked on the show for the characters. The lore is just fancy window-dressing. Some of it is very cool, but it’s not the main thing.
>>151695727the DnD stream is CANONthe PEAK stream is CANONthe VN stream is CANONthese are all filler episodes and they actually did these things when the cameras weren't rolling
>>151695738I get really into it with theory discussion whenever a new episode comes out, and I jerk it to the fetish porn, but not much beyond that. So from 1-10 I guess generally a 5 with periods of 8-9.
what's Shrimp Town actually like?
>>151695722She's his tard wrangler. Like peanut butter and jelly.
>>151695573I don't think they gonna ignore it, it was just in the seconds that followed Caine established himself as a an EVEN BIGGER asshole then Jax and was much more immediate concern.
I only knew how it was going to end because I had subtitles on and it literally tells you that Abel is an NPC whenever he speaks
>>151695738probably 6, i try to preoccupy my time by watching as many movies (film) so i can reference them in my fanfic (devoid of personality)
>>151695722She's approaching everyone because she's normal. She also said she trust Kinger the most just like Ragatha does. She completely assigned Jax as the retarded little brother who need to be helped and Kinger as the dependable authority who sometimes has Alzheimer moments.
>>151695738I'm a brainrot Deltarunefag and only return to these threads sometime before and after new episode drops
How much of it was truth and how much of it was Caine?Zooble had to go and RUIN EVERYTHING as USUAL by talking about the plan where Caine can hear them, so anything beyond that point could have been off-course for all we know.
>>151695767But subtitles also call Gummygoo a Gummygoo when he first speaks so is he not an NPC?
>>1516957387 or 8Follow these threads and try to catch up with them to see any fanart or possible ones made in the thread. Thousands of images saved because of either art, screenshots, art comics. Never looked into any theories. Questioning why the fuck I'm into a show that's gonna end in a couple episodes and probably fade away.
>>151695785Also it should be noted that it's VERY easy for Caine to get away with making a fake clone NPC like Evil Pomni, so Abel very well could still be real. Doubtful that they'd be setting him up for multiple episodes just for it to be a red herring, unless Goose was REALLY retarded.
>>151695785Only truth is that Kinger worked at C&A and knows shit, which is why he was intentionally kept out of the loop because he would've seen through all the bullshit.Truth is, Caine doesn't know shit about the outside world, C&A, or the circumstances around how everyone is inside the circus.
What's the bee thing a reference to?
>>151695775So Kinger is the daddy.
>>151695804I was actually just thinking about that, they could have easily just made the softball game be re-used NPCs, especially since them being clones doesn't really do anything for the actual story. That coulda been there solely to establish that Caine CAN clone someone if he likes.
>>151695814Caine just likes them.
>>151695785Caine doesn't know everything. Otherwise he would just snap Gummygoo in candy world or fix them being stuck under the map. He is un aware of most shit if he isn't present or hidden
>>151695738Probably a 7. I love this show but sometimes I feel like I'm too dumb to get it. I don't pick up on subtle things real well, I know I have media literacy problems
I like how the fractal dream part was rendered at 60 fps whereas everything else was 24 fpsalso everything looks like kidneys does that mean something? was Jax an organ harvester irl?
TAKE ME TO SHRIMP TOWN
>>151695783Mannn I haven’t even played Chapters 3 & 4 yet. Should I do it?
>>151695826Don’t be too hard on yourself. A lot of the theory guys are probably reaching anyway. I’m sure you’re getting it just fine.
>>151695855I'm seeing a spread frog shape
>>151695873Who's the artist?Also poor Abel. He deserved a raise for that performance, not death.
>>151695704We got to see Jax naked
>>151695855where is his pp?
>>151695899NPCs don't feel. They're like LLMs, it's all fake emotion.
>>151695783I'm also a brainrotted Deltafag, the overlap between the two fandoms is considerable.
>>151695899popo92_z on xitter
>>151695826Shouldn't feel bad. Real talk, a lot of the people who notice these things are noticing because they view these things less like a piece of art and more a puzzle to be cracked, so they'll actively scan for clues instead of just watching the episode as one would normally do. Besides, most theorycrafters are usually just as right/wrong as average viewers anyways. They're the viewership equivalent of when someone's speeding past you 20 miles over the speed limit so they can pass you, only to wind up at the same redlight as you.

>>151695896For some reason I don't feel like a 'true' fan until I'm writing multi page long fanfics and theories on the entire story about like Jungian undertones and the deep metaphors of the entire series like I have 150 IQ. Idk how people do that
Fellas I’m a little drunk and maybe high so I’m gonna admit something right now. I really love these characters bros. But really especially Pomni, Jax, and Ragatha. I was almost scared to watch this episode because I was afraid one of them would die. And despite the tense finale, I was mostly just glad they’re all alive and I’ll see them again in the next episode.
>>151695904Caine stole it
>>151695930Thanks anon. That honestly helped me put it in perspective n feel better
>>151695941You're an adult manMan the fuck up
>>151696001I did! I held it together, watched the episode, and I didn’t even cry. Are you proud of me?
>>151696005hell yeah
>>151696025See? Look at them. I just want them to be okay :)
>>151696044i dont, i hope the sun turns everybody into charcoal
>>151696059That would be a major bummer dude
>>151696062cant have everything be nice and happy, you need some bitterness in life in order to truly appreciate the things that make you feel good
>>151696005i am very proud of you brother
>>151696079wise.
>>151696079Yeah but my personal feeling is that all of my favourite characters getting incinerated would be more bitterness than I’m hoping to experience from this show.
>>151696097understandable but im just being dramatic
>>151696123Fair enough lol. I would be okay with a bittersweet ending. Really I like this show for the interesting artistic impulse behind it. So I’m on board for wherever we’re headed.
>>151696082Thank you ;_;
>>151695889Literally the only HMOFA kino according to Grok
>>151695909More than you think, Caine LITERALLY did the Spamton laugh multiple times this episodes. In fact, I remember seeing something about how his VA got picked for this role specifically because of this videohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=72tHaw7HxgsListen to 0:11
>>151696152That’s the sales pitch? Somebody is gonna bang an animal?
>>151696175A HUMANLIKE animal!
>>151696183I guess that’s kinda cool.
>>1516957385this episode did nothing for me, because it didn't answer SHITI'm praying to God Goose steps up her game, cause this show's ending is getting more and more close to be a rushed mess.
>>151696215tag yourself i'm cainejak
>>151695641>FunnyGummyBro...it's dead...I liked Gummygoo too, but the fast food episode was clearly supposed to be about Pomni making her peace with him being gone and choosing to focus on the people who are still alive.
The Gaither’s Pond fish part was literally just a pointless shitpost but it made me giggle because I’m retarded.
>>151695641We could just all get along. We both want Pomni to be dominated by anthro animal men.
>>151696175Literally what Pomni trying to do whether its a bunny or a lizard
>>151696256I'd rather Pomni dominate
>>151696238last shot of her face didn't make it seem like thats what happened. She looked sad and still looking outside through the door instead smiling and going toward Ragatha
>>151696242I expect a Dorbees reference in the next episode
I respect the audacity to spend several minutes on a trippy psychedelic horror sequence. It’s a benefit of indie animation that they can just choose to get weird and abstract if it feels suitable.
>>151695703You are allowed to appreciate a character's personality and their fat ass. Those two things are not mutually exclusive.
>>151696330It’s a big ask, to expect the audience to follow directly from a Gaither’s Pond reference into an abstract ‘2001: A Space Odyssey’ style psychedelic suicide metaphor. But I’m enjoying the ride.
>>151696315That moment is so interesting to me. IMO, the show depicts Ragatha as like Pomni's concept of friendship when it comes to circus. In episode 2, Ragatha is the person Pomni goes to when she wants Gummygoo to join them. When Pomni lets Gummygoo go in episode 4, she walks towards Pomni.That's why it feels crazy to me when the fanbase acts like Ragatha and Pomni aren't friends, or close.
not Soma ending...not Soma ending...I'll take literally anything else. TRON logic, a wizard did it, anything but the "realistic" they were AI all along ending
>>151695421>>151695427Alternative theory: Caine tried to directly manipulate the mind of Scratch AFTER he abstracted, thinking he could reverse the process. But it only made things worse.
Metal Gear Solid 2
>>151695174>B-b-buh muh other video game that isn't even a sequel to Soma or ISN'T EVEN OUT YET that has a different take on the conceptYou are so fucking stupid. I think we'll call you ONTOS fag because you're the only one bringing it up
>>151696505Maybe not after, but during would make a lot of sense.
>>151695591They already hated him beforehand
>>151696431>"realistic"Nigga, none of this is realistic. The point isn't being "realistic". The point is the "existential horror" of "there is no escape, you are stuck here forever"
>>151695573I dunno, are you familiar with those cruel prank channels where people pretend to be criminals kidnapping others and forcing them to choose between their friends' lives? It's putting people in a fucked up position where they have to make a split-second decision, and I would never blame the "prank" victims for making a messed-up choice when they were in a compromising position. I'd hate the prankster way more for ever putting them up to that in the first place. Which is what Caine did, just a big, cruel prank.Also, everyone who isn't Pomni already hated Jax, and Pomni was the only one besides him that didn't trust this solution in the first place. So this doesn't change anything.
>>151695699Jesus is God you filthy heretic, filthy blasphemer
>>151696330It's nice. I respect it
>>151696604go eat a prepuce you phylactery wearing faggot
>>151696330During my first watch through I thought they were filling for run time but then I remembered this shit doesn't have a set run time
>>151696593>Nigga, none of this is realisticyeah i know
i would damn the rest of the circus to an eternal damnation in digital hell if it meant i could save ragatha
>>151696256Clussy made for BBC(Big bnnuy cock)
Why is Caine so desperate to be loved? If he is truly just an AI.
