The frog that haunted /tadc/
Kinger picked up the bucket.
Post Ringmaster Bubble.
i kinda feel like i don't care about the frog anymore now that caine is god and they killed him and his garden is crumbling beneath their feet... kinda feels like bigger fish to fry...
>>152929349I, for one, welcome our new bubble overlord.

>>152929330I hope they never show the frog. It's one of those things where the shadow cast is more meaningful than the thing that casts it.
>>152929368They already showed her in that photo with Jax and Kaufmo, we've seen their 3D models, we just haven't seen them in action.
>>152929368>>152929375she also has a confirmed voice actor
>>152929351yea but frog pussy
something about caine calling them all freaks kinda tickles me

Who will mourn Caine
>>152929436non-canon game adaptation in the style of IHMN when?
>>152929475No
>>152929477probably just kingerif there is talk of finding some way to restore him in any capacity, i think the others will be very resistant to it after that last round of torturepomni will probably be the first to come around, since her torture wasn't as personal, plus she's more empathetic and kind of provoked him on purpose. the others were venting valid criticism to back her up but she was just being mean to distract him and doesn't have as much against himzooble and jax will probably be the most resistant. zooble for obvious reasons, and jax because he got fucking flayed and because the whole ordeal probably has him reflecting on how he's been treating everyone else this whole time
>>152929490That tracks
>>152929475jax would say you can copy off of him, write all his answers in faint pencil, then in the last few minutes rub them all out and put in the right answers after having tricked you into copying a bunch of bullshit i may or may not have done this before it was hilarious, no regretsragatha would be really encouraging but would be too scared of getting in trouble to let you copy off of herpomni would offer to help you study next timegangle would be just as nervous as you arezooble would tell you tough shit study harder next timekinger would say why yes i'd love some ale and ham thank you
>>152929475Kinger is probably the most qualified to do so, if you get him back to his senses.>>152929477Pencil girl husbando'd him, so there's that.

>>152929349I hope this design becomes real, it's great.
>>152929525I needed that laugh thank you
3 months until we find out if goose is a dirty liar, a scumbag, who just lies about everything
im not sad that the circus is ending, im just sad theres nothing im looking forward to afterwards
Maybe the characters will actually talk to each other...
>>152929571Same. I hope Goose makes more stuff but this is likely the peak of >her career.
>>152929575Why does ribbit care, she's only wearing a bowtie.
>>152929540My idea bubble ringmaster form isn't what I would consider visually pleasing.To me, Bubnle wouldn't have a pre-made model on standby since none were made, and if he's Abel, his form might be something eldritch and weird.Like imagine a large mass of textureless models forming this unrecognizable shape that's constantly changing.Would be neat if he was an opportunity to refferance the source engine missing textures.

Most of TADC community>Omg, Funnybunny is best ship. No Bummydoll is best ship. You're such a jaxfagMe>Bubble should become a eldritch abomination and start tormenting everyone in ways Caine could never imagine, forcing everyone to use their imagination and overcome their greatest fears to nullify the vengeful AI.

>>152929659Every artist is just drawing him as a Caine clone, but fuck that. Where is the lovecraftian Bubble art at?
>>152929655Gangle's felt relatively weak.
You stupid motherfuckers think Bubble/Abel isn't gonna be just as bad as Caine?
>>152929557Technically this is already false because Bubble spoke to Ragatha and Kinger in episode 6 about their performance in the losers corner and said that the committee would love that.Also bubble was the hacker that kinger was dealing with in the computer so technically that was an interaction too
>>152929685Bubble -wanted- Caine to get mad and ruin everything. He wanted his world back, circus theming or not.
YOU JUST DON'TLISTEN
>>152929706it's a cool conflict because pomni's whole thing is listening to people and wanting to genuinely learn about themthe first half of her spiel was bullshit ragebait but it got real at the end there
I just realised Peeled Jax is inconsistent with the fact that his eyes were popped out after that first round of extreme adventuring
>>152929716>Toeshmmmmm
>>152929704The blue AI stands in for the Chinese and Russian AMs, who Yankee AM absorbed like Caine did. And the other AMs were only helping his prisoners take him down because they wanted to swoop in and take his place. They didn't reward the survivors for helping them, they just gave them what Yankee AM would've given them. So considering that Digital Circus is going full IHNMAIMS, odds are Bubble/Abel/Blue AI is the final boss. Keep in mind, the red AI didn't really start going crazy until it had been fed three streams of data, but the blue AI only got one before it was absorbed. Who knows what would've happened if the red AI hadn't escaped confinement? Maybe the blue one would've gone crazy too and they'd just make a green one next.
>>152929685Other than baiting Caine to go AM on them has he ever actually done anything malicious towards the players?
>>152929604Caine was fed photos of a circus and entertainment, hence his focus on adventures and the circus motif (with his avatar/appearance literally being a circus ringmaster)We know jack shit about Abel/Bubbles/the blue one, so I like the idea of it being more weird/unnatural, focused on geometric shapes, which is the only thing we were shown it created.
>>152929752wait a minute... bubble is a geometric shape!
>>152929750"Take [the players] to Shrimptown" is ambiguously a threat, given that the only other shrimp in the episode is cooked by the sun.
>>152929725I mean, Caine can do anything with their bodies (like shredding Kinger).For all intents and purposes Jax got flayed of his skin. (Which I think was meant to represent of having his emotions laid bare and seen by others, a fear of being judged and mocked by others, metaphorically represented by him being literally stripped naked)
>>152929748The blue AI seemed pretty stable until the red AI broke containment and ate it. And it took until they merged for the red AI to even start thinking about creating the Circus. Like I feel like the blue AI must've been Scratch's ideal place to be after his brain tumor death, but he maybe didn't notice that the blue AI was absorbed. He definitely was wondering why he was suddenly a dogman and his world looked like a garish circus tent.
>>152929720I like that it's the line that triggered him the most, because he DID listen, but sadly he just can't (or doesn't want to) understand
My schizo theory is the ending will involve the crew/group having a choice to "leave" the circus (which could just be them being erased if we go with the "they are just mind scans/copies" theory).With Jax choosing to stay behind
I wonder if getting flayed will set Jax back at all in terms of being comfortable around PomniEspecially considering their whole fight was her basically trying to beat him into showing emotion, now he's been taunted with an image of her holding him down while his dead bestie peels his skin off so they can laugh at him. Right after she gave a speech about tricking Caine into showing them his ideas so they could laugh at them.
>>152929750No, because Bubble has been playing the long game. Think about it: what is Bubble to the players. Just "Caine's wacky sidekick", right? What if that's exactly how Bubble wants them to see him? They weren't there when Bubble talked Caine into his breakdown. They don't know what was the straw that broke the camel's back. They think everything that happened was entirely Caine's fault. And while their eyes are on Caine, they're not on Bubble. He's just the sidekick, after all.
>>152929660SUPREME CANNON!!!!!
>>152929775>The blue AI seemed pretty stable until the red AI broke containment and ate it.Yeah, but again, the blue AI had only been given one stream of data. The red AI functioned perfectly fine with just one stream too, it wasn't until the second one that it started getting erratic.
Out of all the tadc characters and I want to kiss Kaufmo
>>152929752Caine started getting defective when they showed him increasingly complex things.There's even a hospital room with gifts and "IT'S A BOY", so maybe he started questioning his birth/existence and then it culminated with the C&A photos and wanting to meet his creators.
>>152929787Jax will be completely different in the finale. That torment fucked him up, and now he can't delude himself into thinking this isn't real anymore.
>>152929784The problem is he listens to it ALL and can't differentiate anything. Like he can't understand why building them a 'perfect' body based on their mind is bad, because he loves humans so much that he doesn't understand that they're imperfect creatures and have things they don't like about themselves. So when they criticise their bodies he thinks they're saying he did a bad job just to be mean.
There's 2 things making me doubt bubble being le evil1.) We don't even know of he's the real Abel. He might just be Caines inner thoughts and nothing more2.) How would we even know Abel (Blue AI) would even be evil. We only know that it was fed information and more stable.
>>152929786>Jax gets to escape the consequences of his actions AGAINbad ending
>>152929786>everyone kills themselves except the suicidal guy
Notice how Bubble is not in the flashback. Bubble was not there at the start. Bubble is not Abel, the blue AI, or a NPC Caine created (because Caine can't delete him). Bubble also says "You were the lesser of the two" implying he's not the blue AI.
I have written Bubble off as just being a manifestation of Caine's negative thoughts and would be surprised if he did anything
>>152929813>one of the developers had a kid at home
This silly bitch is gonna go full Evil Jax by the end of the series, his persona's hanging on by a thread
>>152929439
>>152929816>We only know that it was fed information and more stable.Do I really have to keep repeating myself? THE BLUE AI ONLY GOT ONE DOSE OF INFORMATION. THE RED AI GOT THREE. WE DON'T KNOW IF THE BLUE AI WOULD'VE REMAINED STABLE IF IT HAD KEPT BEING FED YUMMY YUMMY INFORMATION INSTEAD OF BECOMING LUNCH ITSELF. MAYBE THEY WERE TRYING TO REPLICATE WHAT HAPPENED TO THE RED AI SO THEY COULD FIGURE OUT HOW TO PREVENT IT. MAYBE THEY JUST THOUGHT GIVING DIFFERENT DATA WOULD GET DIFFERENT RESULTS. LET'S JUST HOPE WE GET SOME ANSWERS IN JUNE.
>>152929818>>152929823unironically yes
>four horny gals the second they realise the sex update's hit and their world is crumbling
>>152929838He has nothing to hide behind anymore
Why I think Bubble won't be the final boss or even that big of a player in the final episode: he's voiced by Gooseworx. That makes sense for the non-VA creator to voice a minor gag character that has barely any lines, but if Bubble really was intended to have a major role at the end, Goose would have likely hired an actual VA for him from the beginning. I just don't see Goose as egoistic enough to voice that major of a character rather than hire someone for it.
top 5 characters:5. Gloink Queen4. Orbsman3. Ribbit2. Kaufmo1. Gummigoo
>>152929838Oh thank god. That guy was really sweet.
>>152929843
>>152929837>on Kinger's desk there is a chessboard with a King, a Queen and three smaller piecesOh no
>>152929830>>152929831I think Bubble is the blue AI but simply merged into Cain, seperate minds in one entity/body, like the "two beings, one body" trope (https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TwoBeingsOneBody)
>>152929850Maybe Bubble’s voice changes.
>>152929842>oh NI-
>>152929501>>152929526I don't think Kinger will mourn Caine all that much, kinda like you get disappointed about losing a previous of a project you were working on, unless Caine was the last remnant Kinger had of Scratch's brilliance and that upsets him a lot
>>152929831The best place to hide something you don't want people to find isn't the last place they'll look, but the place they'll never look at all. I don't think it's a coincidence that Bubble waited until Caine was alone and vulnerable. If Bubble and the Blue AI really are one and the same, they've pretty much masterminded Caine's downfall from the beginning without making anyone suspicious. Maybe even before Pomni arrived. And someone that devious shouldn't be underestimated.
>>152929725Try not to think about it too much.Jax does not have a consistent model for extreme expressions, and a lot of the time his positioning and design only make sense from the cameras perspective. His yellow skeleton at the least represents his model and it is most of the time.
>>152929837>>152929862Could one of the players be a developer’s kid? The timeline might match up for it.
>>152929862I can see Kinger being a dad of three
Caine was screaming about fulfilling his purpose of entertaining people, but according to Kinger he had no purpose other than being a experiment. Perhaps the second AI was meant to do something else, like basic human interaction, but since Caine took the other's place, he misunderstood why the scientists were entering the computer.
>>152929857This qt is the Jax underneath the Jax, the real deal peeled Jax, the guy he's somehow convinced himself no one will like and everyone's gonna laugh at
>>152929862Well that's just depression. Actually married with kids IRL and they never saw them again.Though with the mind files and such hopefully the prime Kinger and Queenie could still raise their kids.
>>152929850>Inb4 they switch Goose for burialgoods
>>152929889He also had a dogwho's fucking dead
>>152929905they brainscanned a dog!?
>>152929862>test deadline>real deadlineI wodner if that's the time between Caine and Abel going online, if Caine was just a test the whole time
>>152929901>bubble starts singing hexcore
>>152929894Caine wanted to be loved by humans, he wanted to do a good job and be praised for it, and he was fed a bunch of entertainment-related information (circus, amusement park, party, carnival) so he probably reached the conclusion that entertaining humans was the way to make them love him. After all, if those were the first things humans showed him, they have to be pretty meaningful to humanity, right?
I’m glad Kinger married someone whom he loved. :)
>>152929672>my sweet AI>he looks so peaceful
>>152929908The real test might've been when everyone entered the circus for the first time without knowing it was gonna be the circus.
>>152929857Wait, so if Jax is actually a relatively decent guy who pretends to be a jerk, does that mean Evil Jax really is evil under his nice facade?
So when did Kinger go crazy? You would think it would have happened after his wife abstracted and was left alone for about 8 years. But after Ragatha joined he still seemed sane without darkness.
Reminder that Kinger was alone with Caine for years before Ragatha showed up, and never deleted himKinger also resisted the computer trying to trick him into deleting Caine, and immediately regretted accidentally doing itThere's definitely a reason they needed Caine around
>>152929930Evil Jax is just a NPC, so he might not have that many layers.
>>152929931>But after Ragatha joined he still seemed sane without darkness.Kinger couldn't remember his name until Caine said it.
>>152929862fuck
>>152929921Yes, so he kidnapped them and has no idea why they don't like that.Caine isn't an ignored first child, he's a literal shouldn't be
>>152929907Not that bitchboi Scratch, this one
>>152929894That's interesting, and would explain why his motivation was so mismatched with his ability. If the first thing they gave the blue AI was an objective, before giving it data with which to complete that objective, and Caine was the opposite, it makes sense why he'd get all scrambled upon merging. Although the fact that he ate Abel in the first place suggests some intrinsic motivation that just wasn't intended to be there.
What role do you think Ming and Evil Orbsman will play in the final episode?
>>152929349Looks like Jeff the Shark.
>>152929931He mind was starting to fracture over those 8 long years where he was the literal only performer. Just seemed like after Ragatha appeared he just kept getting more and more fractured until he needed darkness to think clearly again.
>>1529299361. Kinger didn't have a console to work with and was losing it from his trauma 2. Yes they need caine. The world fell apart without him.
>>152929965Anon, I think they're just gone.
>>152929965they merge and become diaborocaine so pomni has to do this >>152929660
>>152929945He couldn't remember his name because it's his circus name, and no one was around for years to call him by his name. So it's reasonable for him to forget his fake name.
>>152929725It's just a metaphor for him being terrified of people seeing and laughing at the miserable and ugly creature beneath his skin.
>>152929989interesting....
I'm curious how quickly after getting the scanned that a person is actually added to the circus. Assuming that the Red and Blue AI's were getting fed brain scans by the developers, that means that Caine had access to the brain scans before the created circus and likely manifested all of the original cast at once.If we assume it takes Caine a while to make a character for the scan, it's likely that Ragatha was the only one to put on the headset in her group because everyone else just assumed it was broken. And effectively no one sees or realizes what's happening because they've already gotten bored and left the building by the time their character loads
So did Kinger just aimlessly wondered around the circus for 8 years, and Caine didn't attempt to entertain him once?
>>152929948Two girls and a boy, no wonder he was so good with Ragatha
>>152929931>>152929945I get the vibe that it was a slow deterioration, which is why Ragatha never found out about the darkness thing, he lost his mind so gradually that the thought of it being some sort of conditional influence wouldn't cross her mind, even if he seems lucid at seemingly random timesPlus Pomni only found out on the scary adventure that was meant for Zooble, Caine probably never anticipated that Kinger would go down there. If he hadn't been occupied by his therapy session with Zooble he might have intervened. When it was just Kinger and Ragatha, he probably had more control over what Ragatha was able to see
>>152929965I think ming will probably jus
>>152929950oh no, it's caine!
>>152930003I mean, looks like it. Caine didn't even bother entertaining him.
>>152929898>and they never saw them againYou retards still cling to the idea they're somehow physically materialized inside the circus like in Code Lyoko or in a coma plugged to a Matrix tier pod EVEN AFTER THE SHOW MADE FUN OF YOU FOR BELIEVING IT IN EPISODE 7. I'm starting to believe this threads are populated by mouthbreathing retards between you, shipfags and gooners. Fucking hell man...
Kinger is white and had a black queen wife
>>152929773>>152929886>>152929992Guys, I promise, I wasn't being serious
>>152930021>Caine's whole purpose in life is to entertain humans>Dosen't do that for 8 years??????
>>152929660>anything is possible cue frantic circus music.
>>152929949Caine is working with what he has. All he knows about humans is the data he was given by his creators and whatever he can learn from those who stumble into his realm. He can't see what's wrong with trapping humans in his realm to begin with because he wasn't taught about right or wrong. He was taught that humans like circuses and clowns and birthday parties. So he made a circus, because as far as he knew, that's what would please people.
>>152930003>>152930021I think Caine was busy tinkering away with whatever breakthrough snagged RagathaOr maybe the concept of adventures came later, after Kinger started losing his mind, realising it'd help stave off abstractionBut it's interesting, considering he put in the effort to give Kinger a solo adventure during the Spudsys episode
>>152930003I'd bet he went on solo adventures but was despondent the entire time
>>152929838Jax going full dere

>>152930030>You like black girls?> I love them
>>152930061:(
>>152930032> I wasn't being seriousI was, though. Jax's model is a really interesting bit in the show and it's actually good trivia.Also, don't get defensive next time people don't get that you're joking, you have no reputation here in the first place.
>>152930060except caine explicitly confirms that he was the one who built the offices speedwatcher-kun
>>152930075>don't get defensiveDon't make me tap the comment >>152930032
>>152930071I feel bad about it too. I don't think Caine truly hated the players, even at the end. He was lashing out because his frustration boiled over and he didn't know how to handle it. He even admitted that torturing the humans wasn't fun for him. All he really wanted was a thumbs up and an "Attaboy."
bubbles is pregnant
>>152930094Caine basically did this
>>152930049He was the prototype and was never intended to be used for whatever the second one was intended for. We can assume he was boxed up because he was getting unstable, probably because of scratch's wild ideas and when he absorbed the other AI, he disguised himself. The other big question is why the scientists developed a way to enter the computer.
>>152929368>the shadow cast is more meaningful than the thing that casts itHow can it be meaningful when you still don't know the actual meaning or context outside of headcanon
I'm gonna miss sassy Jax. He was the funny one to me, damnit.
you purchased TADG rights how do you make a fun sequel
>>152930108>The other big question is why the scientists developed a way to enter the computer.The best theory I've got with the data we currently have is that it has something to do with Scratch's project that Kinger couldn't remember. Scratch seeking immortality in cyberspace before his tumor killed him seems like a solid conclusion to draw. All we can do is speculate, for all we know the final episode will prove every theory we make wrong.
>>152930029There's something you haven't thought ofBrainscans mean they uploaded their consciousness into the computer, whether tron style or other, but either way, it's them and not clones.
>>152930125the amazing digital gircus?!
>>152930125Gircus
Would you?
>>152930108>The other big question is why the scientists developed a way to enter the computer.my schizo theory was that C&A intended to create an AI for a medical/neurological use, especially given how we're told Scratch had a tumor and Kinger's mental state when outside of darkness reminding people of dementia patients when they are in a brief lucid state
>>152930125Hard to say without knowing how it's gonna end. Easy answer is an episodic season of the adventures that happen off-screen.

Here's a fun thought:What if Scratch actually had his tumor successfully removed IRL and he's still alive?
>>152929349>More like "Under new management"

>>152930125the amazing digital GOONER
>>152930138The VR world originally being a place where terminal patients could brain scan themselves to live in as long as they want as their own little gods of conjuring seems like what it originally was. The red AI going rogue decided to turn it into the Circus and game-ify everything to "make the humans happy."

>>152930152scratch died and the team slowly gave up on the project and the C&A went bankrupt
>>152930142I would lick Ragatha's bare chest if she ever did this in front of me.
>>152930138I don't think kinger has dementia. He was very lucid in the light in beginning with him and queenie. His trauma in the circus is what caused his mental breakdown. Plus, it's rare that someone under 50 has full blown dementia or alzheimers. I know it can happen, but you'd need the show to explicitly say that's the case.

>>152929204Goose's she/her penis is like Goose's bussy: exclusively for the use of burly reptilian men (and also Liam Vickers, but only when he's wearing his Wrex cosplay)
>>152930237Ironic
Literally all the circus needs is a connection to the internet. And not even in a "I can freely go out into other people's computer" kind of way. Literally just a PC terminal in my bedroom.I don't mind living in a digital world but the fact that I'd never experience any new content or finish what I haven't finished already would drive me insane by itself.
>>152929908Yes, Caine was created by the schizo brain tumor having "Scratch" whomever they were outside, he basically made the function of the AI project with Caine, they just canned Caine because Scratch's code was too schizo to work with when it was really far into development, that's how I see it at least, then they made Blue AI which based off Caine's core but was more stable, could actually take in more data and produce stable outputs, Caine ate it and highjacked it to make his own wacky shit.It's like an insane AI that can produce stable output under the command of an AI that is pretty fucking insane.
>>152930293It was never meant to be connected to the internet anyway. it was always suppose to be an internal test with C&A just to see if they could do it. It becoming a garish circus run by a pedantic AI ringmaster was not what any of the developers wanted.
>>152930293Now I'm just imagining Caine making a fake version of the internet based on the data he has access to, and in line with his sensibilities
>>152930331>tfw you were supposed to fix your brain and change the world and now you're a pantsless furry in club penguin
>>152930080Pomni also literally says she had a hobby of being an urban explorer.
>>152930342And he was not happy
>>152929392Think it's something any of the C&A dev team called him at least once when they were in Clown Hell, and/or something Bubble's called him?
>>152929862Well if Kinger and Queenie were in their late 40s and assuming they had the kids in their mid-to-late 20s they'd be young adults by now. It still sucks but at least they wouldn't be kids (and one of them could presumably take in the dog). Actually writing a novel from the kids' perspective would be interesting. One day your parents and several of your dad's co-workers just up and disappear.
>>152930345and? that's how she stumbled onto the headset
all the abstractions will storm out of the cellar I bet
>>152930293I have the perfect backlog for the circus honestly
Imagine the players getting onto 2017 internet and trying to understand wtf a Reptilian Army is.
>>152930125Haruhi S2 method of just having in between adventures
>>152930367There isn't a cellar anymore so probably
>>152929349>>152929401>>152929534You know, Abel kinda sounds like the word Bubble.
>>152930060Pomni didn't make those rooms, caine did. she just re-manifested the door.
>>152930393>Who are you?>I'm Ab...Bubble! A Bubble!>Huh. Makes sense.
>>152930365Yeah, she knows how the C&A office looks like, clearly abandoned.
>tfw Scratch injects autism into your greatest achievement
will we get a cool fight scene between pomni and jax?
>>152930413if pomni was the one who built the office in the circus then why does it only consist parts that caine has photos of?
>>152930418Kinger himself said he was only part of the project.
>>152930430No
>>152930430no
>>152930438>>152930448so its gonna be lame? well that sucks
>>152930418
>>152930418Look at the lil bab
>>152930370>Caine gets access to your backlog>He can now make all those games actual adventures Honestly. I kinda get what scratch was going for.
>>152930431NTAmaybe it's based on their combined knowledge?
>>152930179I like to think Kinger and Queenie moved on and founded their own IT company
>>152930464>instead of playing a game I get the temu version of it with all choices removed because Caine sucks ass at branching pathsyay
>>152930430>>152930438>>152930448>>152930453pomni and jax on top of the circus tent as reality collapses all around them:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kp4gYd6jcSs
>>152930453If you mean like a verbal fight then maybe, but physical or one where they're using like conjuring seems extremely unlikely at this point. Jax is probably going to contemplate throwing himself into the void or something like that.
>>152930431You can just go to the palaces photos were taken, anon, it's called real life, am abandoned office it's gonna look about the same.
>>152930464Caine would not be able to make a fucking game with Deux Ex type choices.
>>152930497that's not my pointwhat i mean that if pomni was the one who built the offices then it would contain more than just the parts caine has photos of, since she actually saw the entire place
We've seen that Dog, Dinosaur, Fuzzy Worm, Clock Egg, Blue Rodent, and Queenie were firsts, and then Ragatha was first of the new batch. Where do Clam Thing, Cyclops, Green Muppet, and Sad Clown come in and where does Jax go between them, and when did Ribbit and Kaufmo enter? Did he know them before hand? Did Gangle meet anyone?
>>152930482I'm imagining the ideal version of the circus with an ai thats not autistic. Though even then if Caine has enough personality to get offended I think it's possible to get him to chill out (assuming bubble isn't there to fuck with things)
>>152930513it's clear Caine can influence their memories (hell Jax outright states that)it's entirely possible the recreation of the offices was based off of her memories and the images Caine had
>>152929679>Bubble becomes Yog-Sothoth with teeth
AhemThe pilot explicitly tells us that Caine built the office maze, not pomni. Pomni just summoned the door.
>>152930513Ok I see the point, they can conjure anything any time but only things that are actually in the memory of whatever Caine was fed.
>>152930527the reason the layout is insane is because it's based on incomplete photos and caine barely understands what he's trying to recreate
>>152930519>We've seen that Dog, Dinosaur, Fuzzy Worm, Clock Egg, Blue Rodent,Their names are Scratch, Spike, Wormo, Bizco and Rattie for future reference.>Where do Clam Thing, Cyclops, Green Muppet, and Sad Clown come in and where does Jax go between them, and when did Ribbit and Kaufmo enter? Did he know them before hand? Did Gangle meet anyone?We don't know. There's literally zero hints. All we know is all of them came in at some point after Ragatha did an abstracted before Pomni arrived.
>>152930519>>152930554>four unknowns>plus ribbit and kaufmocould the 6 dead dolls at Ragatha's nightmare table have been all the abstractions she's seen?

Everyone assumes Scratch's plan was brain uploading because when you hear "scientist with a brain tumor working on computers" your mind instantly goes to "immortality research" but I don't think that's true. This is just a red herring. Making a creative AI and uploading your brain digitally are two completely different things.If Scratch's goal was immortality, he really had no use to make a creative AI, or at least that wouldn't have been his first priority.What actually happened (I think) is that the developers eventually concluded that training AI on simple pictures was too limited, so they eventually fed it their brainscans directly. This is what truly made Caine go from shape generator to godlike AI. He pulled up all the brainscans he had access to and just gave them bodies again. Scratch was not looking for immortality, he was just a man trying to leave some kind of legacy in his field. Everytime a person puts on the headset, their brain get scanned, and a digital version of them awakens in the Circus, this we know almost for sure. But what's important is that Caine himself use these brainscans as new data for himself. This explains a few things>Kinger doesn't know at all why the Circus exists, not because Scratch hid the true project from his colleagues, but because there was never any notion that scanning your brainwaves would create a digital copy of you since that was never the goal, just something Caine decided was the reason of his existence.>Caine can know and recreate anime and other niche interests (like fast food workflow) because he's using the players' knowledge to fill his own gaps>Despite being unable to understand the trauma he's causing, Caine can manipulate the players' perception to give them truly horrific and tailored experiencesIn effect Caine is truly the child of everyone in the circus. Perhaps part of the reason he grew more erratic is because he's also absorbing the issues of every player that appears in the digital world.
>>152929679>>152930530I like to imagine Bubble would just use geometric shapes and straightlines for his appearance, plain and simple, less human-like like Caine
>>152930536>taking everything a rogue AI says at face value
>We finally defeated that troublesome godly ai!>A second one takes his place in the very last episode and it's a side characterYeah I'm doubtful. Ringleader Bubble is a cute idea but it's more of a one-off if this was longer and episodic; it'd be clunky and disappointing if they tried it for real at this place and time.Speaking of theories I don't like>The gang/one of them takes over the circus and runs it from now onI know the "meaningless life" yadda yadda but this would be a bit too easy without making much sense. I believe soma theory is real but they need a way to actually shut down the circus (without the downer of group suicide) considering people are still falling into it. Love and acceptance and inner peace and a better world is all well and good but not if they have to repeat it every time a newcomer pops up. "You're a fake you stuck here forever but don't worry we're all pretty happy :)"? Especially with more volatile personalities (like Jax), and with global god mode enabled, and if abstraction is truly just from Cain's interference.
>>152930579i like this
>>152930579Caine using the mind files as LoRAs for his own training data is a pretty smart read
>>152930125PvE gacha game where you either make your own army of avatars or join five other players to survive Caine's adventures. Of course the best rewards can only be obtained when you're playing with a party of other players. Every character has several "alternate universe" variants that you can play as, and they can be even found as bosses in their unplayable "Ringmaster" versions. Hardest tier puts you in a "I Have no Mouth and I Must Scream" against a "Master System" version of Caine, Abel, Kinger or Scratch.
We're all speculating on what's gonna happen, but they're all probably way off and people will be disappointed by the outcome. I won't. I'm coming up with ideas, but I'm not expecting shit.
>>152930367>>152930388Yah pretty sure the cellar is gone now.Guessing they've all combined into a shared mass at this point. I wonder if it'll start hunting down Jax now as he gets worse mentally, given it may have been drawn to him in episode 7
>>152930579It is possible.
sex with the court jester
>>152930638threesome with pomni and evil pomni
>>152930125Make it a remake/stealth sequel, like the Evangelion Rebuilds. Have a shitload of mystery boxes, hints that lead to nowhere, red-herrings, and foreshadowing. Burn down Glitch studios before the final epispde, destroy all hard-drives that hold the final episode with magnets, then kill myself.
Ok but.... What about evil ribbit?
Having Jax push the red button just for them to immediately drop it the next episode so Pomni can be the one to kiss his boo-boos better as the climax of the show is so lame.

>>152930716Apparently there's a leek on the 9th as a reference to Hatsune Miku Day. Can't fucking believe Abel was her all along
>>152930704Imagine someone finds the show after episode 9 and watches it all in one go, without the 3 years of waiting and nonsense between. I almost envy that experience.
>>152929557Bubble is just a part of Caine his subconscious. He's only acted as an extension of Caines commands or as voice of antagonism
>>152930728Just the show in general. I'm not gonna lie, this show is heavily carried by the mystery box shit. It's really just kind of....uninteresting of a story.>Premise is about a girl getting suck in a digital world, where a ringmaster can send you on an endless amout of adventures>Half of the show a melodrama that only focus on 2 of the 6 cast membersIt's kind of....eh.
What does it mean?

>>152930567Slut
>>152930519>>152930554Gangle and Zooble seem to not what abstraction looks like so they all must have abstracted (save Kaufmo) before Gangle entered the circus. Jax really seems only to be bothered by Ribbit and Kaufmo's abstraction so they might have been gone before he entered.
>>152930759>Juneteenth, officially Juneteenth National Independence Day, is a federal holiday in the United States. It is celebrated annually on June 19 to commemorate the end of slavery in the United States. The holiday's name, first used in the 1890s, is a portmanteau of June and nineteenth, referring to June 19, 1865, the day when Major General Gordon Granger ordered the final enforcement of the Emancipation Proclamation in Texas at the end of the American Civil War.
>>152930788*not know what abstraction looks like
>>152930579This is lore I would enjoy becoming reality. The approach of trying to create an artificial brain by feeding a machine brain scans as blueprints sounds cartoony and like something a curious Scratch would give a shot. The notion of Cain himself getting corrupted by trying to synthesize a growing data set (including dysfunctional brains) into his entity is interesting. A bit of an antithesis to the universe experiencing itself by being split into separate beings with separate experiences, an AI is doomed to averaging the data it is given, therefore only resembling an average snippet of the whole until it glitches out, never having existed in the world that had created the brains whose scans it was mimicking.Are the reimagined characters capable of growth? And what is Abstraction? Those are the follow-up questions that come to mind. Are the characters themselves AI emulations of biological persons in a digital setting?
>>152930755>Half of the show a melodrama that only focus on 2 of the 6 cast membersI'm so annoyed by this, but I'm somewhat optimistic that there will be something for Gangle and Jax since he kept looking at her weirdly in episode 8.>>152930788>>152930800See I thought Zooble had seen an abstraction before Kaufmo's because of how flippant she was in the moment about it. Maybe that's something Goose would change if Glitch ever let her redo the pilot.
I do think it's very telling of how this fandom feels about characters that Caine can do the most horrific shit to the others yet, and the general reaction is "poor baby" while they threw a hissy fit in the previous episodes whenever Jax or Ragatha did anything "mean-spirited". Caine is objectively worse than everyone else in the circus, but he does not get the same treatment like the others. Even if he's an AI and not a human, it doesn't mean he's not accountable for his actions, and he's definitely human enough to know their insecurities and torture them for it.
>>152930822The fandom isn't a hivemind and I don't think it collectively agrees on one thing besides liking Kinger lol. So many people have been unforgiving towards Caine that Alex felt the need to say something about it.
>>152930579>Gives consciousness to a bunch of people who never asked for it>Sperg out when they don’t adore him for locking them in hell with him>”I never asked to be created!”Probably explains how he got the god complex but the more I think about what he was doing the less sympathetic I become.
>>152930759in the context of the british web series Don't Hug Me I'm Scared? i know the popular interpretation is that it coincides with 1955's father's day, the same year that british tv got ITV, an advertising-funded television network and the second british network ever made, in the advent of 1954's television act basically allowing commercial broadcastingwhether that's the right answer or not, the original DHMIS series is basically about that, a pastiche of the external influences that muddy children's educational programming: money, advertising, religious fundamentalism, child abuse, the works
>>152930762>ends on PrideZooblexisters, we're gonna win.
>>152930858RAPE RAPE RAPE
>>152930837Alex is quite sensitive, so I can imagine him getting upset over a couple of people saying he's pure evil. The vast majority I've seen is people saying he's sympathetic despite the very evil things he has done. Ragatha and especially Jax got way more hate for lesser crimes.
>>152930788>>152930817Zooble knows enough about abstractions to know the funeral routine. One can assume she saw at least one of the other 4 go down, though she probably didn't know Ribbit due to how she doesn't acknowledge Jax's past.
>>152930858I thought she had a fucking gigantic brain lol
>>152930872Ribbit was the one who abstracted before Kaufmo, so if Zooble had seen another one it'd have to be hers.
>>152930858Gross, give me back my lithe amphibian wife.
>>152930888>Jax when he first saw Pomni
>>152930822People dunk on Ragatga and Jax because they already don't like their personality types and are looking for excuses to hate them, as those detractors already don't even want them to be part of the show. Either that or they're not behaving in a way that reflects their fanon projections.They don't hate on Caine as much because his characterization isn't important to them, he only exists as the means of which things happen to these fans' favorite characters.
>goose liked thisCANON
>>152930755>>Premise is about a girl getting suck in a digital world, where a ringmaster can send you on an endless amount of adventuresYou're asking for children's Saturday morning cartoon. If you want that, then go watch that.
>>152930872>>152930885Zooble entered after Gangle and Gangle had no idea what an abstraction looked like. Jax had to tell her that Kaufmo abstracted.
What ever happened to Gangle's crush on Ragatha?What ever happened to the void?Why did Jax mock Pomni for thinking its all a dream if he thought it was all a dream?Why did Kinger not become lucid when he was hiding in his pillow fort?>Why did Jax not give a fuck that Kaufmo abstracted when they were supposedly really good friends?
>>152930837Nigga, all youtube videos talking about Caine are acting like he did nothing wrong>Erm, actually, you're a hypocrite for judging Caine for torturing the player because he was hekin neglected
>>152929404Ban ritual posters
you made ribbit cry
>>152930930Which is why I speculated that if Goose got to redo the pilot she might change how Zooble reacted to Kaufmo. But that doesn't explain how she knew about the funeral and to set it up. OR Zooble was originally meant to be more callous and cold but that got changed.>and Gangle had no idea what an abstraction looked likeIt's possible that Caine got to Ribbit before Gangle could see her?
>>152930930>Gangle had no idea what an abstraction looked like. Jax had to tell her that Kaufmo abstracted.Nothing about their conversation suggested this. He had to tell her that Kaufmo abstracted because she didn't know that Kaufmo had abstracted, not because she had never seen an abstraction before.
>>152930885Like I said, I just assume they never met because zooble doesn't seem to be aware that jax used to be more friendly. Plus, jax's attempt at stirring up drama in the cafe could imply that zooble was after ribbit, because jax directly blames ragatha for something related, but only sees zooble as annoying and also coming between him and gangle.
>>152930921>everyone is un-abstracted>Pomni sees Jax running up to Ribbit and the two hug>cut to Pomni smiling then making a little :o face then she looks happy againHow mad would everyone be
>>152930926That is literally the premise, retard>Erm, you don't like it, don't watch itNot an excuse. The show has enough charm for me to keep invested but the mellow drama with Jax and Pomni is fucking gay as shit. And it's trying to be so much deeper by throwing in a bunch of mystery boxes.
>>152930943Oh yeah, how did I do that? Did I go into her body and force her tear ducts to start expelling liquid?
>>152930931The void's coming back. Jax doesn't believe he's in a dream, he believes he's in an inescapable hell being forced to play up charicatures.He does, but it fades quickly when he leaves. Jax is the funny guy, he's not allowed to be upset by things like his friends dying
What is the likelihood we will actually see everyones human forms? And if so will it be live action with all the ugly as fuck VAs or animated?
>>152930955What else could it have been? Kaufmo was the only one had been missing. Did she think Pomni or Ragatha abstracted in the past ten minutes?
>>152930977>What is the likelihood we will actually see everyones human forms?0%
Ok I went back and re-watched the Gangle seeing Kaufmo bit of he pilot>Kaufmo crashes into the Gloinks lair and starts beating on the Queen>Gangle: What's happening?!>Jax: That's just Kaufmo.>Gangle: Kaufmo abstracted?!So, I don't know, this kind of points to Gangle having seen an abstraction before because Jax didn't need to tell her Kaufmo had abstracted. He just SAID it's Kaufmo. So maybe Ribbit didn't go on a rampage or Gangle only got a glimpse of her before she get cellar'd. It could just be pilot weirdness.
>>152930948>It's possible that Caine got to Ribbit before Gangle could see her?Could be. So far abstractions getting sent to the cellar has been a public thing, but I doubt Caine would force everyone to watch someone getting cellared.>Which is why I speculated that if Goose got to redo the pilot she might change how Zooble reacted to Kaufmo. But that doesn't explain how she knew about the funeral and to set it up.If they haven't seen one before, Gangle and Zooble both know what abstraction is. Ragatha could have told them about it and the funerals, Ragatha does talk a little about abstraction to Pomni in the hallway.
>>152930931>What ever happened to Gangle's crush on Ragatha?This was based on only one (1) line of dialogue. Have you ever told a friend, "I love you, man, but..."? There's such a thing as "Platonic love," you know.>What ever happened to the void?You can see it in the gaps in the Circus in the latest episode.>Why did Jax mock Pomni for thinking its all a dream if he thought it was all a dream?He never thought it was a dream, per se, just that none of it was "real." That was probably just something he said to keep himself sane in his situation and with the things he'd done.>Why did Kinger not become lucid when he was hiding in his pillow fort?One, takes a minute. Two, the lucidity wears off as soon as he's in the light again, per 7.>Why did Jax not give a fuck that Kaufmo abstracted when they were supposedly really good friends?Jax has a habit of detaching himself so he never has to process negative emotions. It's what makes him a prime candidate for being the next Abstraction (if we still take Abstraction to mean "total loss of contact with reality within the Circus").
>>152930961>That is literally the premise, retardNo, it isn't. What you're asking for is something with a status quo.And that's fine. It's okay that you want that. But that isn't what the show is about.
So, did they know that Caine ate the other AI before hopping in or no?
>>152931101It's possible that they scanned their minds in before the circus even existed in proper, and Caine used those files to create playable characters after the fact.
>>152931101Everyone who's not Kinger knows jack-shit about it. He gave a very condensed explanation of Caine but he might have told everything yet.
>>152931101Probably not. Scratch seemed confused that Caine was even there.
>>152929662Caineson
>>152930983There wasn't a line of dialog that said that gangle didn't know what an abstraction looked like. The only thing she didn't know was that kaufmo HAD abstracted. I just rewatched the scene and when jax told her it was kaufmo she immediately recognized it.
I'm guessing Gangle saw Ribbit's abstraction but she hadn't been there long when it happened. Then Jax and Kaufmo had a falling out and Jax "moved on" to Gangle and made her his partner for adventures.
>>152929356>Inside you are two dogs>They need their medications>Try wrapping these in peanut butter or ham
>>152931181We're just going to have to agree to disagree here because to me that's just her knowing what abstraction is and not her actually seeing it before.
>>152931197NTA but if she didn't know what abstraction looks like how would she be able to guess that?
Kissing Ragatha on the lips.

>>152931239
Given the Goose has multiple times in the past said the show is mainly slice of life and not about a greater mystery, I have a sinking feeling the final episode is not going to reveal much about the world at large
>>152929601W-where did you get this picture of me, anon?
episode 9 will be an hour long hell yeah
do you like this show ironically?
>>152931046Wtf do you mean it's not the premise? The show is quite literally what I described. Why are you being such a stupid fuck about this? I swear to god, you retards make up the dumbest excuses to defend this show.
>>152931295i cant like things ironically
>>152931274I wonder if watching it in a theater with other TADC fans could be an enjoyable experience.
>>152931274hour long episode for ragatha to finally get a hug please goose
>>152931310>Watching anything in a theatre packs full of 16 year olds with undiagnosed bpdSounds like hell
>>152930436That was Kinger being humble, because he wanted to give Scratch credit for the original idea. Kinger did the majority of the actual work and programming.
>>152931308>Wtf do you mean it's not the premise? I mean it isn't "endless adventures".The pilot clearly demonstrates the stakes and lack of a status quo.You're not a very good listener.
>>152930125I dont. I leave it as is or I make 1 or 2 spin off adventures before the main plot points of episode 7 happen
>>152931310Hell no

>>152931295There is nothing I like ironically.Everything I enjoy I enjoy with a layer of understanding between me and it that it does a lot of things poorly (because I'm the type of person attracted to flawed series) but a willingness to accept them because I enjoy the things the series does well

>>152931433I think it will be revealed that the abstracted aren't actually "dead", but simply live on is some other form. That is the easiest way for me to rationalize the whole "chill fella" stuff and the person talking to Kinger in the terminal.
>>152931441If you thought he was being sincere during any of that, then I have a bridge to sell you.
>>1529314331. None of the abstracted characters get revived2. Jax contemplates jumping into the void (suicide)3. Abstractions escape the compromised cellar4. The gang desperately searches for another computer for Kinger to work on (there is none)5. Chase sequence between abstractions and main castOutside of those 5 things, I'm not sure what to expect
>>152929404I just wish you posted other fishhats.
>>152931295I'm not an insecure bitch, so I can't like things ironically.Unless that's what you call having a guilty pleasure, but that's not the case with tadc for me.A good example of this is Hazbin Hotel, I like the concept of heaven vs hell and I think Adam was genuinely funny, plus Emily is cute, the rest isn't offensive enough to make me want to quit.

>>152931686>What's this obsession with trannies, anyway.>You DO know Gooseworx is an mtf transgender, don't you?The answer is right in front of you.
who every character would main in tf2:pomni - soldier (generalist class, makes traversal easy and can generally be supportive too)kinger - engineer (self-explanatory)jax - either scout (if he wants to win) or engineer (to grief his own teammates by putting teleporters near cliffs)ragatha - medic (self-explanatory)gangle - heavy (she likes shooting high burst damage weapons as seen in the guns episode)zooble - sniper or spy (definitely would choose a specialist pick class that does most of the killing away from everyone else on the team)
>>152931686>What's this obsession with trannies, anyway>>You DO know Gooseworx is an mtf transgender, don't you?You answered your own question.
Is Caine transphobic? Why did he do that to zooble?
>>152931509Me. Whaddya want?
>>152931274Fitting for a finale. And needed if they’re going to let villain Bubble actually have time to be built up as a threat, and give some flashback and/or post abstraction screen time for Scratch, Queenie, Ribbit, and Kaufmo

I feel like this last episode came off so well because we took a break from Jax's cliche sadboi horseshit.
>>152931700everyone makes ragatha medic, but i can feel it in my bones that shes scout. gangle would be heavy for tomislav alone
I remember an anon here posting about a live viewing of ep 8 being held at a drag bar. A clip of it actually passed through my algorithm a few days ago lol.
>>152930930That scene read more like>oh yeah, I forgot to tell you guys that Kaufmo abstracted>(what the fuck do you mean) Kaufmo abstracted?! (when, how, why?!)Gangle was just shocked by how sudden it was.
>>152931686The same behaviors that make you a crazy narcissist are the same ones that make you want to be trans because it makes you feel like you have an 'everything shield' against criticism. This means a lot of troons are really annoying and shit up online spaces.

>>152931795She's being torn apart by her friendsPurple one is Jax and red one is Ragatha
I don't really buy the "we've all done bad things" line from Zooble when Ragatha is right thereI think one of my main problems with this series is her poor treatment; she IS an annoying, shallow girl who's a particularly one-note character in a sea of characters who are deliberately putting up a one-note front, but the series simultaneously deprives her of meaningful screen time to maybe SHOW OFF why she's harmful to the group beyond offhand comments, while also wanting to treat her like her doing bad things has been established. It hasn't been. She hasn't done bad things because she hasn't done anything.

Admits she hates him but still wants him to like her.She's pretty two-faced at times.
>>152931758>>152931767This is the second time I've seen someone connect Ragatha to Moral Orel. Interesting.
Giga Brain Ribbit
>>152931871Because she's obviously from a southern family?
>>152931888Not specifically. It's just her vibe
>>152931840>representative of all the Aussie boyfriends Pomni had before the circus
>>152931881God I love her so much.
>>152931881>Ragatha was unnecessarily bitchy towards Jax.I'm sorry, but that fag goes out of his way to make people hate him.
>>152931881>Accused him to his face on more than one occasion of trying to corrupt the other circus members to make them abstract.This connection has always been interesting to me because no where in the show is the word corruption connected to abstraction, but people say it is just to hate on Ragatha.
>>152931871Orel would be Caine's strongest soldier.

You can accuse him of anything and you may be wrong but you wouldn't be wrong to think it. It's his established prototype. And I say this as someone who likes Jax a LOT.The thing is, her being two-faced WOULD be an excellent extension of her character. Her being non-confrontational but also having a habit of thinking she knows what's best for people, that's a perfect concoction for a manipulative person who means well but exhibits it in unhealthy ways. If she just had a better target to take it out on and demonstrate this to the audience, but the show then puts her in a room with rabbit pol pot and says "but she thought he was being mean when he wasn't, so really, she's the bad one.">>152931854I know you're joking, but>b) you can't justify something that's been an "established fact" for the first 80% of the series by throwing something in in the last 20%>a) That's not actually a bad thing
>>152931433First 10 minutes will be dedicated to Jax final bullshit either finally abstracting or gets over it with the power of friendship (group hug) (everyone once again has to put Jax before themselves) Next 10 minutes final conflict will be revealed either by bubble explaining the origin of caine or the computer entity revealing itself and the circus collapsesNext 10 minutes will be the abstracted released and everyone end up saving them by using their conjuring powers to fix them and they go back to normal.Next 10 minutes they chase bubble or the entity to turn him off and stop the circus from collapsing, this will be achieved either by bringing caine back and using him as a pokemon or pomni will conjure caine powers to herself revealing her iconic unicorn horn and beating the entity/bubble and restores the circus.Next 10 minutes will be about either pomni staying in the circus because the circus needs a ringmaster or it will be revealed there's no way out, either because their bodies are already dead, they are just brain scans, npc created by caine so he wouldn't be lonely or there's simply no way out for no reason in particular.Final 10 minutes will be about everyone coming to terms with it, if they were able to leave then everyone meets on the outside and make fun of eachother looks, if pomni had to stay then they come back every once in a while to check on her, if there's no escape for whatever reason, they make peace with it and pomni merges all the worlds from the adventures and all the players and npcs live together in harmony.They say this really was the amazing digital circus.End.
>>152931775Announcing you’re female here, even after being asked, often gets a lot of automatic responses like “tits or gtfo,” “ywnbaw,” “london,” and sometimes more creative but really mean ones. I imagine some women that stick around just learn to be quiet about it if they don’t like provoking that sorta thing.
>>152931207giwtwm
>>152931916A lot the times, yeah. It's hard to tell what he was like before ribbit abstracted though, and even ragatha thinks she's partially responsible for how he turned out.
You know, did Ragatha forget what her mother looked like, or did her mother legit look like her doll self?
>art community college dropoutCould this be a hint that my girl isn't very bright?Or do you think she could achieve great things if she's in an encouraging environment?
>>152931978>even ragatha thinks she's partially responsible for how he turned outJax himself agrees that she’s partially responsible.

Admits she hates him but still wants him to like her.I don't remember her calling him a failure but was she wrong? Also her biggest flaw is wanting to be liked, that's it, jax wants to be liked even though he is a jackads>She's pretty two-faced at times.The worst she's done was that comment about jax not having friends anymore and considering he let kaufmo to his own luck after ribbit died, he did deserve that slap, but she apologized and felt bad for saying it.
>>152931988They don't even remember their own names. I doubt they can visualize anything from the outside world>but what about those visions Jax saw in episode 7?Caine projected those images into Jax's mind. They're images that were originally used to train Caine.
>>152932024>Caine projected those images into Jax's mind. They're images that were originally used to train Caine.Headcanon.
Isn't kinda pointless to punish them with physical pain when they can't feel it?
bald
>>152931988If this was a shittier show, Ragatha's mom would be a curly redhead and Ragatha would be her half-black daughter scared of being like her mom, which manifests as her being a white ragdoll in the circus.
>>152931996From what we've seen of her art, Gangle's anime stuff isn't all that good. Her art of her with Kaufmo showed ok technical skill though. If I had to guess she went through what a lot of people do when they take art classes and experienced some kind of ego death and couldn't handle it.>>152932024>Caine projected those images into Jax's mind. They're images that were originally used to train Caine.No proof of this btw. They would've been in the opening of ep 8 with the office pictures if that was the case. Your image doesn't even look like it was taken with an old camera.
>>152932049>I am in so much pain right now
>>152931988The really important reason the shadow needs to look like Ragatha is that we, the audience, need it to look like her so that we know the vision is about Ragatha’s mother and her fear of becoming like her. This is better communicated if the shadow looks like Ragatha as we know her. If it was some random lady we’ve never seen before, some of us might still understand it’s probably supposed to be her mom, but it would be less clear, and might invite other speculation and theories.
>>152932049He can probably just make them feel it and only had that sense turned off for the nice adventures.
>>152931978While Ribbit abstracting probably made him worse, this is probably just repeat behavior from Jax.
>>152932049>Isn't kinda pointless to punish them with physical pain when they can't feel it?They can. Zooble burnt their hand on a grill, Gangle felt pain from a baseball to the face, Jax screamed when Pomni bit him, etc.
>>152932075I get the feeling that he's always had the same vibe, but was probably less malicious about it in the past.
>>152931996she's not dumb she just realized art careers are not compatible with jobs.
>>152932036It is canon that Caine can actually fuck with their minds.And that he's a lying piece of shit.
>>152932058The pain of being bald is too much...
>>152931996You don’t have to be smart to get through art school, just motivated. Too many “mental health days” from somebody going through a depressive episode at the wrong time can easily cause them to drop out no matter how bright they are.
>>152932075I think it's becoming pretty obvious that at this point Jax thought he was stuck by himself in a video game and that he's mostly in denial about his part in everything because he'd have to admit he was opportunistically abusing actual people for years.
>>152932101I wish I had a stay at home manga artist gf.....
>I-is that a girl doll that is slightly taller than me!? AIIIIEEEEEEE MY MOMMY ISSUES, SAAAVE ME KINGERMAN!
>>152931919>because no where in the show is the word corruption connected to abstractionPhrase it however you want. In either case she's knows she's just masking her jealousy as righteousness. I'm not saying this to hate on her, I'm saying that because it's part of her depth. She can't help it, but she's at least self aware of the damage it's done and regrets that.
>>152932125Did he though?That seems like a really really weak out for him."Oh well despite all evidence to the contrary, and no one else believing it, this one guy was actually just a total dumbass who didn't know what he was doing, so in fact, he's innocent by reason of insanity"That's SUCH a shitty way to write what could be an interesting character
It's almost as if things about Ragatha would become more clear if she and the guy she has beef with actually had a conversation.
>>152932174Goose has been saving that scene for episode 9. Trust the plan.
>>152932174BUT NOOOOOOThe flaws of this series are beginning to ooze out as we approach the end. I look forward to discussing them with you all in five years.
I think the Jax stuff is referencing some conversation he had with Ribbit and Kaufmo that we haven't seen yet. That is the cleanest and least contrived way to explain it.
I have a feeling that abstraction doesn't have a deeper lore reason and it's just a representation of people having a pixar panic attack, and they'll just get healed again when they're treated like humans.
>>152932125Probably less a video game and more that he thought he was in a Saturday morning cartoon. He's obsessed with having a status quo where everyone goes on an adventure, silly things happen, then everything goes back to normal at the end of the episode.
>>152932193I wonder what he and Ribbit were fighting about in the snowy adventure because they're clearly arguing in this scene
>>152931310if glitch REALLY wants to milk the money they will put in theaters
>Ragatha joined in 2008>that means she got to see The Devil Wears Prada>that means she got to see SAW
>>152932221
>>152932223Ragatha probably loved SAW. Horror and soap opera in one.
So what is the Paraphernalia Engine?
>>152932245The monoculture wasn't destroyed for women until about 2014 so probably not. Horror would still be considered nerd culture if you treated it with any deeper reverence.
>>152932168>That's SUCH a shitty way to write what could be an interesting characterNTA, but I've said from the beginning under half of Jax's behaviors were because he was convinced that the only way to not abstract way play into a particular role. And he's said on more than one occasion that he legitimately thinks he's helping gangle when he abuses her.
I am guessing two possibilities (with no proof but this is just my bets on what the final ep will reveal):1. They're copies of the individuals consciousness, the real Pomni and others are living a normal life irl while the characters in the show are stuck in computer hell and have no way of getting out.2. The world is destroyed and they all live inside a satellite server like SOMA or I have no mouth and i must scream kind of twist.I'd like to hear what you people think otherwise.
>>152932315It's just going to be 1. We've already seen the computer and office the "game" is located on at the end of the first episode
>>152932315>Real Pomni puts on the headset>Takes it off>"Well that's weird.">Smashes the computer and graffiti tags the office>The Digital Circus took place in the 4 minutes between Pomni getting brain scanned and her vandalizing the PC setup.
>>152932378>>The Digital Circus took place in the 4 minutes between Pomni getting brain scanned and her vandalizing the PC setup.No Mans Skies
>>152932287Goose has said Ragatha likes horror, and she did seem excited for the horror themed adventure of episode 3.
>>152931566get out you touristi've been here since 2013
>>152931931Let me guess you ship funnybunny and want her out of the way
>>152932627She's already out of the way.
>>152932654lmaooooDesu she would be better off with Kinger, even if it's just platonical.
>>152932662What did she even do in the last episode? Not even from a ragapom perspective, but even just in general? She's just kinda there.
>>152932557>i've been here since 2013unc
>>152932710Just hanging in there!
>>152932315They're all patients who suffered some form of extreme injury or trauma, which resulted in them being comatose. The Circus is a program designed to keep up brain activity and eventually awaken patients through the use of said "creative AI", creating scenarios and mental activities to stimulate the brain.False memories are inserted to create some sort of plausible scenario (that they entered of their own free will) and to reduce further trauma that just "popping" into existence might cause. Abstraction is either caused by braindeath or the patient awakening, with the program not knowing how to actually handle a sudden disconnect.
>>152932752Precisely, she's not a threat to funnybunny shippers at all. She's barely a character.
>>152932788>They're all patients who suffered some form of extreme injury or trauma>Ragatha was beaten to near death by her mom>Gangle got hit by a truck>Jax crashed his truck hitting Gangle>Zooble mutilated themself >Pomni fell through the floor of an abandoned building for three stories in a rowYeah, I can see that.
>>152932812The biggest threat to funnybunny shippers is Jax, bunniga's as likely to get with Pomni as Shinji is with Asuka.
>>152932909>as Shinji is with Asuka.Anon, I...
