>>154534649fishguy is SO lucky
>>154534658Screencapped Anon's lovely greentext from last thread, I hope he doesn't mind
I was gonna draw Loolilalu porn this weekend, but 4th of July stuff and general IRL shit had me fucked up. If I'm not out of town tomorrow, I'll do a drawing.
>>154534672Please do.
slow and steady...
TADC is over guys.Go home.
Gonna post Kinger art now cuz Kinger is based and literally no one disagrees with that
>>154534693top-tier character
>>154534672i will wait, no matter how long it takes...
The finale was shit.I've watched episode 8 like Hundreds of times and that one at least had a caine song. The finale? I've only watched like 10 times,That how you KNOW how shit it was.
>>154534718We know. We're over it. That's why we just post cute art and discuss headcanons and potential what if scenarios.
need fluffy jax
>>154534718>hours played: 14000>rating: not recommended
>>154534718Dare I ask how many times you've seen the other episodes?
>>154534657Why did the circus connect to wifi randomly?
>>154534726Ditto
>>154534736Themes and such
>>154534631This is Kinger country. Troons need not apply.
Damn, Kinger kinda....
>>154534722>and discuss headcanons and potential what if scenariosWhat if the finale was good?God I wish it was.
funnygummy childrenI take back what I said about the funnybunny merch children I now totally get it lmao
Reminder to ignore posts you don't like and post things you do like
Ragatha cuddling
>>154534770he would been a good father.
>>154534753>>154534772GODDAMN
>>154534736Dues ex machina
>>154534784and she would be an alright mum.
>>154534770Okay I'm not gonna lie, if they sold a Gummisuit Pomni plushie instead of a Jaxsuit Pomni plushie, there's a small chance I'd be funnygummi instead of funnybunny I like both though
Jax x Kinger feels very wrong but I still find this image cute because my brain is retarded like that
Hey guys my ac is broken can one of you fix it?
>>154534770Gummigoo in a jester outfit is super cute
i hate how this meant fuck all in the end
>>154534800it just looks too good
that should be me and not pomni
I dunno why this made me laugh, just the absurdity I guess
>>154534753got damn
>>154534631i drawed a kinger one time
>>154534822For me, episode 7 is where things really started to go wrong.
>>154534822Ads should be disregarded since you know, they're made to get you to buy stuff.
>>154534827Kinger how do you know that term?
Take this quiz and post your result https://uquiz.com/quiz/orS0m3/which-amazing-digital-circus-character-are-you
>>154534822What do you mean? It set up Jax's cuck fetish as it was revealed by gooseworx.
>>154534781factually, undebatably, inarguably the most cuddleable circus member. the best for it and the most deserving
So adorable it should be illegal
>>154534827fucking NEVER
>>154534837why did kinger do that
saudi arabia banned TADC because ragatha is too cute (also she showed too much ankle)
When's the last time you booped your Ragatha, /TADC/?
For the record, some of these images have been scaled down to fit within 4MB
>>154534868I wish I was close enough with Ragatha for her to let me boop her nose...
Reposting this unf Raga story from last week
>>154534861why wouldnt he
>>154534855The slight fluff on Jax makes him actually look hot
Alright that's enough out of me, hope you enjoyed the Kinger dump
>>154534844Reminder that with these types of test that being closer to Jax makes you a gigachadBeing closer to Zooble or Ragatha means you're soulless and gay
>>154534921But... I got Ragatha
>>154534882You just have to go for it and she'll be yours
>>154534927woah, whats cookin', good lookin'??
>>154534868This morning of course, I also cuddled with her all night
>>154534841yea disregarding the ad, him acting totally different and folding to Pomni everytime only for it to mean nothing to everyone makes it all a waste of time
>>154534882Lucid dreaming can get you there.
>>154534970Are there any really great guides to ensure successful lucid dreams? I've been wanting to get into it for years but never had the time or patience for it, but working on that.
>>154534669That is cute and very mindful of the establishment canon at that point of the showGooseworx hire this man
>>154534844Either this test is broken or we are literally the same person
>>154534718You watched episode 9 10 times? That's more than I've ever watched a single episode
>>154534726Agreed
lmao
>>154534760>What if the finale was good? That's easy just have Pomni actually ask what Jax wanted to talk about in the last scene before he abstracted. Short down Jax's backstory to a couple lines of dialogue. Answer the big lore questions left behind in episode 8 and make bubble the new villain and ringmaster
>>154535022>Jax is a pedoI can't believe Goose made this canonWait...If Jax is Goose's self-insert then...That means...G-Goose...?
Pre-trans Jax was topslop. Iykyk
night tadc, thanks for the wonderful threads
>>154534868I'll so it tonight.
>>154535022Is uh is that supposed to be a Loli/shota blank self insert?
>>154534945It's because it was meant to set up that Jax is his own worst enemy.
>>154535058Goodnight anon! It's early for me but I guess I should head for bed too
>"Ragatha, PLEASE tell me my head isn't huge..."
>>154534844These quizzes suck with giving reputable results but I keep taking them cause I want Jax.
>>154535138
>>154535144Take him off of me bro
>>154535138It's okay, Dib's head is still bigger
>>154535050>>154535080I... you guys... do you see the size difference between Jax and Pomni? This is pretty much just a Pomni insert...
>>154534940>>154535074Based and Ragapilled
>>154535138>your head is !(@)!$#ING HUGE POMNI!!!
>>154535175Raggy is much better when she's acting like a asshole.
I want to make love to Jax, I want to call her beautiful and ask her to be my wife as I pound her prostate until she cums.
>>154535008Nah there’s different results. You’re probably misinterpreting what the percentages mean.
>>154535166What I'd really like to do is stroke Ragatha's licorice hair.
>>154535165Ok groomer
>>154535191id poke her bellybutton
>>154535188Cute crossdressing bunny boy
>>154535183on one hand, i would've liked to see her crash out because she deserves to let out her rageon the other hand, it isn't like raggy to be mean
>>154534887>>154534658
>>154535191>>154535201I'd do both of these things and then some
>>154535165Anon, that only works because of Pomni's unrealistic cartoon proportions. That >>154535022Is straight up a toddler.
>>154535183Ragatha is best when she's being Ragatha
>>154535210stay based my friend
>>154535216this is what we call a truth nuke
>>154535089From his past even before the circus, it stopped being "the choices that Jax didn't make" and more "the choice that Jax couldn't make" for me, there's too much mental burden for me to expect him to do anything reasonable and i don't see a good lesson from it. The show didn't really focus on the enviroment he was in compared to leeroy as well which made it worse
pomni grooming jax into pretend grooming her as a pretend child
What's your favorite not so popular ship, anon?
>>154535221As do you!>>154535247I think it's obvious which one I like writing most
>>154535247
>>154535237yeah, nah. he's absolutely responsible for his actions.
>>154535247ragazoob
>>154535247Princess Loolilalu x Evil Ragatha.... (do not research)
>>154535158>Despite that, you are lovedMy mom seems to be really in touch, or at least perceptive and caring of my mood as of late. She continuously asked me what's wrong and I kept blowing her off despite it, because I don't trust her at all. It really sucks that my deranged paranoid histrionic mother who acuses me of being a clone or a hologram or my dad in a stolen body among other delusions that's been out of my normal life for more than a decade that I'm terrified of inheriting traits from is the one who's reaching out to me. But I'm sure if anyone else would I'd push them away all the same. I don't know what others think of me.
>>154535247That one.Oh and I also really like Evil Jax with Evil Ragatha but I have literally NEVER seen a SINGLE piece of art for it.
>>154535283how about now?
>>154535267also zoomni
>>154535237Jax was surrounded by a cast quite literally crafted to relate to him. Ragatha had the mom issues, Zooble the gender and self-image ones, Gangle and her lack of self-worth and Pomni recognizing how it feels to be lonely. He HAD a community and chose to reject it.
>>154535260100% he was, i've never said otherwise. The issue here is that with everything he went through it felt like a losing game with no way out
>>154535214Maybe they just suck at shrinking proportions then? Here's another of their works.
>>154535308GoddamnNow THAT'S rare
>>154535311What did Kinger have?
>>154535301Thank you friend.I like to think they have a happy and healthy and extremely active sex life.You know, like the opposite of Jax and Ragatha.
>>154535322theres quite a bit of this stuff if you just look for it on tumblr
>>154535320well, it's possible...
>>154534868Booped her a little too much these couple of days. Going through a rough patch; I needed the cuddles.
>>154535321I guess Kinger knows what it's like to feel guilty.
>>154535340
>>154535338Well no fucking wonder I've never seen it.
>>154535138>Ragatha: Mouth big enough to eat ass and puss at the same time, Pomni
outta the way muff muncher
>>154535348right?
>>154535338>>154535357I love it.
>>154535354Fatherless activity
>>154535311you are looking through the prespective of the viewer, yea sure every character means well and would be willing to help but you don't really see that from Jax's prespective, the one skewed by fear and paranoia (actually we do, Zooble's word to him and Pomni in general gave him a bit of pause). Coupled that with the fact that he had everyone's issue combined plus more makes it more impossible
>>154535347gently hold the jester...
>>154535382honestly if Jax abstracted at episode 7 i'd think the same as most people did (you'd had your chances boohoo) but when his whole backstory got shown i started think "what the fuck were you supposed to do with all of that?"
Imagine having a tied up Jax all to yourself
If Evil TADC was a thing, it would be Eniac trying (and failing) to get a bunch of asshole humans to abstract.
>>154535436Oh yes... So many limbs to cut off hehehehe
>>154535438>Understands the humans perfectly >Hates them and wants them to die>Everyone's minds are too resilient to abstract This has potential
Ragatha getting gang-raped by a bunch of NPCs
>>154535241glad you liked the story, the dynamic between Jax and Daisy which really is just Jax going through his self hatred makes the funnybunny sweeter for me
>>154535452doinked by gloinks**
>>154535452At least Ragatha is finally getting some attention
>>154535467The situation looks hilarious from afar but poor Raggy is traumatized and sobbing as she is repeatedly doinked over and over again.
>>154535406You take one step at a time and start with "hey Pomni do you mind if I just sit here with the gang for a bit, I don't want to talk" instead of sulking off for the hundredth time.
>>154535467>>154535474Gloinks and the Gloink Queen wouldn't fucking do that.They wouldn't fucking say that.They wouldn't fucking do that.
>>154535484close enough i guess
>>154535487This.Are you assholes trying to imply the Gloink Queen DOESN'T raise her children right??!
>>154535383Actual canon ships:Gangle/Jax abusive romanceJax/Pomni intense complicated friendshipKinger/Queenie (RIP)Gangle/Zooble platonicCaine/Ragatha
>>154535452its a bunch of mes and we are kissing ragatha everywhere
>>154535519moonbros????
>>154535452(You) getting put in the sandpaper treadmill room
>>154535496>they see all that>Pomni: Well that sucks. Hey Ragatha, u want sum fuck?
>>154535459It was definitely sweeter than I expected
>>154535527She doesn't mind sharing.
Literally canon
noone in the circus deserves ragatha they all ignored her
>>154534822Even as a human he's still Pomni's little dog no matter how much he claims otherwise
>>154535549So the moon is a cuck now thenI mean imagine how many times she's had to watch people have sex by the lake in the moonlight
>>154535558Raggy doesn't hold grudges if you make an honest effort to correct mistakes
>>154535189Whoops you're right lolThat's what I get for not reading
This is all I can think about when people say "Raggy"
>>154535573>ruh roh raggy, retard
>>154535563she doesn't but I do, she deserves BETTER than all of them!!!
>>154535562Yeah goose likes to self insert as a cuck. We've been over this.I'm so fucking pissed we didn't get any more scenes between these two, not even something cute in the 2d animated credits.
Pomni's on the run from the law! What did she even do?!
>>154535591Holy shit, I haven't thought about that video in ages
>>154535631she did this
>>154534822>>154534945>>154535089>>154535237>>154535311>>154535382>>154535406>>154535484Goose had one vision for the whole show, kill jax, by god he was gonna bulldoze that ending no matter how clunky the story was or many set ups he had to ignore.
>>154535631>"They said they were 18! That's the truth!>"Who the fuck is 18 in the seventh grade? See you in court."
>>154535634That's either a suicide attempt or that mental illness where you never feel full.
>>154535650pomni tarrare...
>>154535223Went to the gym and grabbed dinner just now, did you go today?
>>154534631>the plan was always for Jax to abstract, so we couldn't change it>also, the plan was for Jax to abstract because of Caine messing with his head more and more, and Caine be an actual villain, but we abandoned that and completely change his character arc because i started relating to him more and wanted to completely change his storyline and the whole meaning of the show. We changed this in episode 7, so yeah episode 1-6, the popular ones, are completely pointless to the plot
I hope Glitch manages to take the show away from Goose and tells him to fuck off while slowly retconning every fuck up.
Uh oh, americans are waking up. It was good while it lasted...
>>154535653Fucking kek
>>154535658>I hope Glitch manages to take the show away from Goosethey already have, the person writing the ads is officially in charge of it now
>>154535661>1am EST
>>154535669>he bited
>>154535661>americans are waking up>at 10pm (western seaboard)i know its b8 but its still funny
>>154535647>I want this *beeep* hung by jumper cables
>>154535661>this shit again You literally have no idea when Americans are posting. You say this shit at random times throughout the day. Fuck I hope most Europeans aren't as retarded as you.
>>154535655yes it was a push day
I am brown and make less the minimum wage for a living, I will blame all my problems on Americans.
>>154535681I just did some treadmill and some arm exercises
>>154535658>>154535661>>154535667This is all bait right
>>154535690i hate running but i will have to do some this weekend
>>154535697Sure it is...
>>154534826Remove all women's except Martha I will cuddle with ger
>enter the circus>see this mural>"what's this all about?">"oh, that, yeah, that's just all the people that have died in here so far. Oh yeah, you can't leave btw because we're all brain scans so try not to die on us too, haha!"
>>154535707I kinda just speed walk for 20 minutes when I go, I set it to 1.0 incline and 4.0 speed, so nothing too hard, just a warmup
who would be in the middle of the inevitable four-way circus yuri orgy sandwich
>>154535656>I know i set up so that it looks like jax is distraught about hurting mom, but I swear he's actually devastated because no one respects HER heck'in pronouns. My blog proves it.
>>154535712Being able to connect your body like that must be awesome for Zooble
>>154535712 What would they all do if some messed up fucker entered the circus and upon hearing that everyone is a file on a computer and trapped forever, started to indulge in their most violent and sexual urges?Surely no one here would do such a thing....
>>154535724Kinger. He's just happy to be involved in the activity.
>>154535738One of the OCs, Sting, is a rapist, but AFAIK his creator never drew him doing anything, it's treated more as a gag.
>>154535738>Sex is in the CircusTime to fuck Ragatha whether she wants it or not...
>>154535710martha has ghe/ger pronouns
>>154535738I would say Caine would be able to handle them easily, but then I remembered. Was it implied that Caine lost most of his powers when he separated the Blue AI from himself? How much of what we see after his return are his creations vs the gangs conjurations? Would he even still be powerful enough to control or isolate a monstrous human that joined?
>>154535675he's so cute when he's flustered, he clearly loves it but can't admit it
>>154535770He still has control over the worlds and probably the NPCs since he said that he's leaving them open.
>>154534657Why Rule 34 when you can get better relationship dynamic on tumblr?
begging ragatha to have a throuple(or menage a trois) with princess loolilalu (she did not need much convincing, oddly enough)
>>154535777Then I wonder what he meant specifically by this line. What can he not do that he could before?
>>154535804who knows lol
>>154535804I really don't know because it seem as if he can do everything he did before.>he can still make avatars from the brain scans according to Goose>he can fix glitching>he can open and close the worlds>he was probably able to give the gang what they were asking of him from the montage>they can have sex now
>>154535811Fuck you, goose.
>>154535804Goose wrote the line and didn't think about
>>154535804He can't legally sell Wacky Watches anymore as those were copyrighted and owned by the Blue AI
>>154535804>>154535811>>154535815>>154535843>ask Goose about it>"Oh it just means he can't make AIs. So they'll never see Bubble again, LOL."
>>154535851red vs blu but in circus
>>154535724Caine, in a "girls' night" gone wrong. Or, very right?
>>154535634Florida Man foiled again!
>>154535872Gangle uses her masks to be the Spy function
>>154535887gosh
I want to be vored by Pomni
>>154535892More like oiled again, amirite?
>>154535899genius, also zooble demoman since she likes to turn people into gibs
Give it to me straight. No bullshit.What does Ragatha masturbate thinking about?
>>154535860If social media had been around in the 70s, star wars would have ruined right from the get go.
>>154535887Goddamn some fanart is weird.
>>154535915we all know what she thinks about
>>154535915She has a praise kink and thinks about people telling her she's doing a good jobWhether these people are men, women or both is up to interpretation
It's not possible to appeal to everyone with a show that appeals to escapists like this huhI've seen both "the ending was too happy and saccharine" and "the ending was too grim and depressing" at the same time
>>154535915>meme answer: horses>real answer: lots of horses
>>154535915Handholding
>>154535945It could have at least been good.
>>154535945more like the ending was unsatisfying
>>154535945I've seen both opinions as well, and shockingly enough, both agree that it was shit. Funny how that works.
>>154535712>"what's this all about?">"oh, that, yeah. well, a long time ago the circus... wasn't a great place to be. caine didn't understand humans then like he does now, he wasn't able to empathize with us, and a lot of what he tried to do to fulfill his purpose ended up causing more problems than it helped; and some of us came into the circus broken and traumatized and lashed out against others under the pressure. some of the people who were around then weren't able to keep it together. they abstracted and their minds were lost. we haven't given up hope that some day we might be able to bring them back, but for now all we can do is keep them comfortable and remember them.">"...">"UH, BUT don't worry! because things are better now! yeah, caine's gotten to understand humans a lot better; he's turned over running the circus to all of us, and we all work to love and support each other! heh, sorry to dump all that on you, new stuff, i guess i tend to ramble a little."
Is kinger jealous that pomni gets to keep her pseudo friend with benefits in the main hall while his actual wife ended up in the aquarium?
>>154535945Fuck it we ball with all the money we made off of those suckers hahahahahahaha
>>154535959they disagree in diametrically opposed ways thothe former wants experimental misery porn where the characters suffer tragedy and surreal horror stuff, the latter wants nothing bad to happen to anyone because they're their comfort characters
>>154535738Probably just trick them into the void and leave them to drift for all eternity.Or at least until they reach digital godhood and return to wreak their terrible vengeance upon the Circus.
>>154535961>we haven't given up hope that some day we might be able to bring them back,This was explicitly and deliberately stated as being impossible and non canon.
>>154535983Yeah, but they don't know that.
>>154535945Super bleak and super happy endings can both be good but it depends on how you get there.
>>154535996And sometimes you get both.
>>154535573yeah, same. I want a short cute nickname to call her but I can't help but think of Scooby Doo when anyone calls her Raggy
>>154535915Eating Pomni's pussy while Pomni tells her what a good job she's doing
>>154535990Anon, they never even attempt it in the show. They've completely accepted it as impossible.
>>154535961>>154535983This will be how season 2 opens, starting with a Ragatha episode to assure the viewers that this season won't be shit this time.
>>154535983Things stated second hand after the show is over don't count. If they wanted it in the show, they should have made the effort to put it in the show.
>>154536005They never made an attempt because goose didn't write a scene or line of dialog to address it.
>>154535887
>>154535945its a bad ending for jax but a good ending for everyone elseso a good ending
>>154536009Ok anon. Please find me a single line or action that any of the characters say or do at any point in the show that demonstrates that they believe it is possible to reverse abstracting. Can't find any?
>>154535983>This was explicitly and deliberately stated as being impossible and non canon.really?Can you link me to the episode and time that happened?
>>154535872>You ever wonder why were here?>>It'sone of life's great mysteries isn't it? Why ARE we here? I mean, are we the product of some cosmic coincidence, or is there really a God? Watching everything. Y'know, with a plan for us and stuff? I dunno, man. But it keeps me up at night.>... What? I meant, why are we in this circus?>>Hmm? Oh. The real you put on a headset that scanned your brain and plopped a copy of you on the server.
>>154536005That's stupid though
>>154536009>If they wanted it in the show, they should have made the effort to put it in the show.They put in that nobody believes you can save the abstractions by having nobody act like you can save the abstractions.
>>154536040Episodes 1-9 wherein no characters ever attempt to or even discuss the possibility of reversing abstractions.
>>154535961I don't hate this.>>154536035Absence of the affirmative is not confirmation of the negative.
>make show open to interpretation >"wtf?! you're not allowed to have different interpretations!!"?
>jax's mom>ragatha's momIs the moral of the story that moms are evil
>>154535915Why would you want to think about something so lame?
>>154536049Oof, heartbreaking
>Hey Caine, could you undo the abstraction and bring them back?>No can do, Pompoko, the files are too corrupt to fix!Or>Well I never been able to before, but maybe if we work together we can find a way some day!Either line would have prevented this dumb argument.
>>154536018>goose didn't write a scene or line of dialog to address it.it's been a long time since ive seen a fancomic with worse writing than the show
>>154536066Damn, i guess that also every character is a pedophile, because they never say they aren't
>>154536077Goose has literally said the show is meant to be open to interpretation and everyone can take or ignore every single thing they say on social media.
>>154536059Aren't they completely inaccessible in the cellar for 99% of the show's runtime?Hell, it only took 3 episodes to establish that abstractions start acting funky under certain conditions, namely in darkness
>>154536107Ragatha spent too much time at the children's shelter for my liking
>>154536081Disney shills this shit all the time >Found Family > Real FamilyEveryone is the Owl House has a shitty mom>Amity had a controlling mother>Eda and Lilith has both an overbearing and neglectful mother >Luz has a neglectful mother that didn't notice her daughter was replaced with a demon >Half of the side characters didn't even have a mom Notice how the father's are usually gone?
>>154536107Lol. Good one. Bad argument though considering abstracting is a major plot point of the series and an ever present threat looming over everyone. Unlike pedophilia is to you, apparently.
characters for this feel?
>>154536059No one ever discussed abstraction. All we got was a line or 2 about how it's what happens when you finally lose it. Not even caine talked about it and what it meant. We literally never any concrete exposition on what it was.
>>154536092Goose is genuinely so retarded for having Ragatha outright state "maybe there's still time to fix (Kaufmo)" in the pilot and then just never discuss the nature of abstraction again, expecting everyone to just magically intuit that it's permanent and irreversible
>>154536121Jax
>>154536100"If I let a human and NPC run around, who knows what could happen?" "Scratch the first Abstraction" Is that the answer?Abel a literal mouthpiece of Caine answers to Ragatha's "What happened between you and Kinger?" being answered "It will all make sense soon enough" It doesn't.Show Queenie post abstraction with no knowledge of who or what caused the abstraction. Was it Caine, or Kinger, or Queenie herself? What was Kingers promise? Why show that scene and then forget about Kinger?
>>154536121Literally Jax
>>154536081I present the Gloink Queen and, possibly, Queenie as a counterpoint.
>>154535770the ability to conjure still comes naturally to him, so he'll always have that. I don't understand what it means to be weaker, but perhaps it's probably related to how complex are the conjurations he can make, and how much he can fuck with the humans.
>>154536131That episode was rewritten to hell and back, That's where they abandoned the original storyline to make Jax the bad guy instead.>Who killed the origianls?Caine, by fucking with their heads>who killed kaufmo?Caine, by fucking with his head, the same thing almost killed Pomni in the pilot>Who killed Ribbit?JAX! HE DIDN'T TALK TO HER FOR A FEW WEEKS THE SICK MONSTER EVERYTHING IS HIS FAULT REEEEEEEEEE
>>154536077>>154536110"Open to interpretation" is just a bad writer's get out of clarity free cardThe show isn't open to interpretation, it's just half baked
>>154536110Was that always the intention or was that attempt at dodging the fandom war?
>>154536149>I don't understand what it means to be weakerThey reduced his context size from 8192 to 4096
>>154536131>Show Queenie post abstraction with no knowledge of who or what caused the abstraction.Tangent, but this makes Goose's decision to nerf Jax off screen "because that's how it feels in reality" all the stupider, since she already fucking did that gimmick with QueenieAnd basically did it with KaufmoLike yeah we fucking get it, maybe do something a little different with your main fucking character?
>Oh don't worry, Pomni. We may be able to undo the abstractions some day. >Now help us hold a funeral for this person that we totally believe we'll be able to see again.
>>154536159Also, Jax abstracting seems to line up with Caine's return pretty well doesn't it?
>>154536172Kek
>>154536184Yeah if it was anything other than a fucking FUNERAL, I might believe that they believe it's possible.
>>154536184First episode is Ragatha trying to convince Pomni to let go off Jax, and it will end with his funeral and the last scene will be one of Jax dog form glitching a bit, showing Jax underneath.
i like to think that unabstraction is a long and delicate process that requires the right enviroment (something Caine never did right) and support. it's also something that could be done right and done wrong but both will leave permanent marks on the body
>>154536188Lovely rabbit
>>154536188Cute
>>154536184Again, no explanation on how abstraction works. Caine doesn't even acknowledge them unless he has to hide one. It's no wonder the cast thinks.
>>154536184>>154536190you don't think there's the possibility they might reconsider after what Pomni saw in there? that between their newfound conjuring abilities and everyone now regularly visiting the abstractions that they might start wondering about it?
>>154536184>It'll be ok, Pomni. They're gone now but don't give up hope that we may fix them.>Now could you help me finish painting this memorial mural of all the souls we've lost?
>>154536160You're one of those faggots who gets all bent out of shape at JK Rowling for not explaining the wizarding world's tax policies, aren't you?
>>154536216And that we at least know that caine has full access to the brainscan files, why can't he fiddle with them?
I think we need to give up the idea of a season 2
>>154536216Sure but now that's just your headcanon. The argument was if the cast currently in the show believed that undoing abstraction is possible. Which they don't.
>>154536222Wizard taxes were not brought up. There'd be no need to bring them up.
>>154536222Brother literally no one wants more lore from JK Rowling after the shitting thing
>>154536240Man if they really thought that would help maybe they would have asked Caine about it? Idunno
>>154536222Considering that JK Rowling shared that wizards used to piss and shit on the floor before using magic to clean it up, I'm surprised she hasn't.
It's such a fucking shame that this bitch is tied to a retail only physical gacha because it's the only one that I'd actually be interested in owning, and I'm not bidding 1000 fucking burgers on ebay for the privilege
>>154536184>We may be able to undo the abstractions some day, but for now there's nothing we can do, so let's hold a memorial service that will allow us to remember our good friend and process our mutual grief and trauma and drive us into a spiral of depression.
Pomni wills Jax back because she misses his cooking, simple as
>>154536222Literally everyone wishes rowling and goose would have just shut the fuck up and stop talking on social media after their respective stories ended.
Why is Pomni's cooking ability so poor? She can commit tax fraud but can't bake chicken.
>>154536205I think abstraction as a term from computer sciences implies the lose of information to simplify a program. this means they'll need to restore information from Jax if they ever want to fully recover him. I wonder if Caine has some backups stores somewhere.
>>154536250Having them not even begin to reconsider things makes them feel like they aren't even real people though
>>154536269Her favorite meal is an entire whole raw fish. She just doesn't have good sense of taste.
>watch the pilot for breakfast>wife looks over and says "You're basically Kinger"Ahh.
>>154536184>>154536221You do realize that at this point Caine was still unceremoniously dumping them in the sewers with no further explanation, right?
>>154536279Run.
>>154536184I think the idea that abstractions can be undone is something implied (and that the character learned) only in the last episode, but maybe I'm just coping
>>154536279>Stare at her blankly for 5-10 seconds.>GAH! Oh, honey, you startled me.
>>154536250no, the initial post implied the cast were holding out hope for unabstraction AFTER the events of the show (>>154535961) and then for some reason that started an argument (>>154535983)
>>154536279Does your wife want to fuck Kinger?
>>154536282Not at the point where they made the mural? That's after Caine comes back and they move them to the aquarium. And even still, that furthers my point. Why would they casually accept the proper solution is to have then banished to the cellar if they thought it was possible to save them? Ragatha specifically tells Pomni to find Caine to handle the Kaufmo abstraction.
>>154536292>appear behind her>"I'm right behind you, aren't i?"
>>154536287It's implied there's "something" that can be done for them but it's left as vague as possible. Might not be reversal.
>>154536305Because goose through omission wrote into the script that no one asks questions or talking about anything.
>>154536305>Why would they casually accept the proper solution is to have then banished to the cellar if they thought it was possible to save them?Because the other option is to let them roam around fucking everything up. No one wants to get jumbled, just because it's not permanent doesn't mean that it doesn't hurt
>>154536326>goose through omission wrote into the script that no one asks questions or talking about anythingThat's not how that works.
>>154536326Oh I love that about the writing.
>>154536326The Amazing Offscreen Circus strikes again
>>154536305That's because in the first episode all they knew was that they needed Caine to imprison the abstracted, I assume that thanks to pomni they learned something, maybe only relating to Jax particular case.
>>154536323Yeah I'm just coping, or maybe it's left vague on purpose for a possible season 2?
>>154536305The better question, which the show fails to answer in any way, shape or form, is>why wouldn't they at least try?Thanks to Pomni in ep9 they know that those motherfuckers are still alive and conscious within the abstraction because she fucking talked to a victim of asbtraction after they had asbtractexGiven that no one in the cast could have known that this was even possible, the only reason why this wouldn't lead to a complete reevaluation of abstraction as a condition is le themes and such
Needs more cursed content (Not Trans Jax plush cum rag)
>>154536335Well, you're correct in that it's not really through omission, it's through confirmation that the characters don't know something that they would have talked about at some point.
>>154536326>>154536333>>154536345To clarify, I personally want there to be a way to fix abstracting. I'd much prefer if it was canon (as in, was shown or stated in the show) possible to save everyone who abstracted. But the harsh reality is goose simply didn't want it to be. And the writing proves that.
>>154536351>abstractex
>>154536355Is that the one with the real teeth
>>154536351>>154536375>Guys! Guys! I found a way to undo the abstractions! Look! I brought Jax back!>Oh wow that's wonderful news, Pomni! I can't wait to tell Kinger! So how did you do it?>Well... Uhhhh.... You see...
>>154536366Yeah...
>>154536397
>>154536366I mean that's kind of true I guess but at the same time I feel like if Goose wanted it to be 100% set in stone there could have been AT LEAST a line to clarify. Like I understand what was trying to be set up, it's supposed to be abstraction = suicide/death, but it's honestly just a shit comparison to even make. Sometimes I feel like what this show needed was just to reframe the entire thing at the end, just make it so that at the end it's revealed that everything that happened in the circus was just a warped reflection of Pomni's memories as she's working through her grief over Jax killing himself IRL, and the whole show was just a metaphor.
>>154535956it concluded on the actual themes of the show and just could've used a bit more time to develop characters that had importance to the ending like Gangle and Caine. It was fine otherwise.
>>154536375Nullo sex is so fucking hot
>>154536418>Sometimes I feel like what this show needed was just to reframe the entire thing at the end, just make it so that at the end it's revealed that everything that happened in the circus was just a warped reflection of Pomni's memories as she's working through her grief over Jax killing himself IRL, and the whole show was just a metaphor.Anon the ending was bad enough, it didn't need to be even worse.
>>154536421I wanna fuck that smug Bubble and Sun.
I wanna hold Jax's hand and have him hesitate to choose which way to interlock fingers between his 4 and my 5.
>>154536418
>>154536459Between Kinger being a programmer and Jax being a pianist, missed opportunity to explore the body horror of the circus hobbling them of these important aspects of their identities
>>154536459
>>154536466I want post Ep9 Jax to still choose to have 4 fingers for everyday tasks but suddenly conjure 5 when it comes to performing his hobbies and holding my hand.
>>154536434>>154536463Sorry anons, I just already feel that the whole setting of the show was wasted, and that feels like the best way to go about it if Goose really didn't care enough about this to actually write set rules to very important pieces of that setting
>goose's favorite anime is evangelion>abstraction is somehow a harsher, more final ending to people who (mostly) did nothing wrong than the third fucking impact, since the former aren't ever even properly dead and keep being tortured 24/7 by their trauma and failures in life
>>154535905clever bastard, ain'tcha
>>154536490If you let Jax abstract you like Ribbit and Kaufmo did they they deserved. Imagine getting smoked by a troon.
>>154536493
>>154536500
>>154536499...wat
>>154536500Wait, shouldn't Kinger's be significantly higher then?
>>154536490No one will ever convince me that Goose understands Evangelion
Pomni's bells.
Pomni's balls.
>>154536493>Ragatha at zero>even less than the two people who don't have mouths
>>154536517TADC is evangelion if it was written by a sadistic nihilist instead of a depressed but ultimately hopeful gooner
>>154536490Eh. For all we know it's just a constant drug trip that Pomni drew into a coherent state with force of will. Jax didn't want "to go" though so there's that.
i just had this churro ice cream with dulce de leche in it and now i cant stop thinking about how thats what princess loolilalu's kisses would taste like
>>154536538Same with IHNMAIMS, which explores how meaning, connection, and positive change can be found in even the most cartoonishly bleak and hopeless circumstancesGoose actually thinks her story is more hopeful, because she has a surface-level understanding of the original as simply "edgelord bullshit"
>>154536566Felate it like you'd felate her girl dickLet her give you a dulce de leche facial and lick it up like a good girl
>>154535931TAKE ON ME!
https://x.com/fascinatingonX/status/2073581377002348715would you love pomni if she were a fly
>>154534844I got Kinger, who is my favorite, so I like it
>>154535945>I've seen both "the ending was too happy and saccharine" and "the ending was too grim and depressing" at the same timeBecause it was both. Jax's ending was too grim, and everyone else's ending was too saccharine.
>>154536569In IHNMAIMS the slugging was the result of a noble, corageous, heroic self-sacrifice to atone for a great sin on a cosmic scaleabstraction by comparison feels extremely mean spirited in concept, it's permanent punishment for losing yourself in an environment hostile to human life
>>154535247:)
>>154536627which results in the awkward "as soon as the asshole killed himself the world improved tremendously and everyone started being happy" thing
>>154535673
>>154536653Nah that was pretty accurate to real life when a troon ACKs themself.
funny little jester
>>154535804It's just so Goose can say the abstractions for real can't be fixed. When Glitch makes season 2 without Goose and the plot is all about saving the abstractions, Goose will have another shitfit on social media
>>154535887That's a weird thing to say and want
>>154536664Either you believe in "eggs" or you don't.
>>154535915Ragatha canonically doesn't know how to masturbate and would need to be taught
>>154536695The whole egg thing is weird because, well, you don't break an egg when you want it to thrive, you break an egg when you selfishly want a meal
>>154536035Literally all of Pomni getting inside Jax's mind palace both indicates that she was trying to save him, and that he could be potentially saved given his full consciousness exists inside of it
>>154534844Literally unplayable
this is how the abstracted see things
>>154536069
>>154536726So she never tried doing that again because....?
>>154536121Gangle, but it's her floppy pajeeta titties instead of a small penis
>>154536121I'd cry too if I had a dick on my ass
>>154536748I'll always believe Gangle is black because of that one fanart.You know the one.
>>154536159Yeah, frankly if the only thing keeping Ribbit from killing herself was Jax, she was a lost cause. She did it to herself
>>154536726>she was trying to save himNOT ON MY FUCKING WATCH, GET OUT OF THERE YOU CLOWN WHORE
>>154536276Pomni is Japanese?
>>154536578the fuck
>>154536707An egg broken from the inside is a baby chick. Still, pretty weird metaphor.
>>154536747_____ and ____
>>154536279Based. I hope your wife has a huge ass
>>154534844I think this may be slightly off
>>154536421Kinger looking like a scheming eunuch
Feed the Pomni
>>154536747...Goose is a hack
>>154536757If she was, I would dick her down so fast. Black weeb nerd girls can get it, and I don't even like anime
>>154534844Huh, I would have expected Jax to be honest
Jax says the funny STALKER voice line in the Russian dub.
>>154536828cheeky breeki?
>>154536828This scene is framed so sexually. Jax would have been fine if Ragatha let him get a nursing handjob
>>154536840>Jax would have been fine if Ragatha let him get a nursing handjobGoddamn that would solve all my problems too
>>154536767It would be super funny if we just saw a pile of flashbangs in zooble's room at the end of the show
>>154536856Post credit sequence of her in the circus, checking no one's around, then throwing a flashbang in the tent and running away for funsies
Izuna drop
haha i wonder what would happen if she sat on me haha like wow, gee whiz!
>>154536918You'd probably get icing on your face
>>154536918>consistency somewhere between flesh and cake>who knows where exactly
half of the critique in this thread is genuinely "if the show doesn't autistically spell everything out to me, it's poorly written, i fear"
>>154536949I'm sorry for wanting things the narrative introduced as foundational to the setting to actually matter
>>154536949I mean I don't think that the show has to spell out the answer, I just think that it would be nice if the characters would pose the question like any rational person would
>>154536949Maybe that's a good indication that the writing didn't effectively communicate what was intended?
>>154536949Quote the posts that are saying that. Oh you won't, huh? Then shut the fuck up.
>>>/trash/83897094booooooo
>>154536949It's a common critique with a lot of shows lately. Netflix is making new shows repeat their concepts 100 times like they're soap operas for a reason
>>154536977Pure slop made for the goys. You have to be intelligent to understand the subtle writing in TADC. Most are mentally sufficient enough to conceptualize the intricacies.

>>154536962what it indicated to me is that the show was creatively strong enough to reach far outside of its intended appeal and reach a bunch of people who weren't on the same wavelength as it including a lot of younger people who aren't used to a show not spelling things out for them.I dunno, this has been re-litigated a bunch in this thread where people take issue with some emotional moment or plot point and I'm just like, "What?" Good example being the brainscan "reveal." The entire show is like, this mattered, artifical life matters, you don't need a grand purpose for life to be meaningful (and also it's just not a hard conclusion to draw from their shared story) but for some reason a ton of people were bewildered that the episode wasn't primarily about them breaking down about something that the rest of the show was sort of about and that the characters self-admittedly sort of already assumed.
Jax when he sees Pomni's big fat clown ass clapping in the circus halls
>>154536973there's a whole-ass argument earlier in this thread complaining that they don't firmly clarify that abstractions are irreversible.
>>154537023Well you got me there.
>>154536184Yeah and Kinger said he killed Caine lol.
>>154536734>the abstracted can see things just fine>the core personalities are still in thereWith all this in mind what the fuck was Kaufmo's problem in Episode 1? He was actively beating the shit out of Ragatha
>>154537042She did not laugh at his jokes.
>>154536928>>154536939i would literally die happy if she crushed my skull with her "cakes"
>>154537042he was spazzing out because of the light, Ragatha also ate his last snickers bar
>jax killed kaufmo by refusing to be there for him or ribbit>caine killed kaufmo by irresponsibly leaving a hallucinatory exit door floating around the surfacereally, gangle killed kaufmo by refusing to laugh at his jokes
>>154537042Arin Moment.
>>154537042>the core personalities are still in thereAre they? >I don't want to go.Go where?
>>154536997... Is that something that's been brought up in this thread? Well whatever, I'll roll with it anywaysPersonally while I don't think that it would be a good Idea for the whole episode to be based around it, I do think that they basically brushed off being a digital homunculus pretty fast. And while yes, the show does say that artificial life matters, that's always a message that the circus residents always attribute to other beings before this. It's the difference between seeing something bad happen to someone, vs having something bad happen to you. It's easy to mentally distance yourself from something like that when it's (as far as you would know) not something that applies to you.Once again I'm not saying that the whole thing should have been that, I just think that there is room for an inbetween and just a liiiitle more could have helped out a lot
>>154537068Shrimptown
>>154537068This and the fact that Pomni never tries to visit Jax again makes me believe they really aren't just trapped in a mind prison and really are gone. That and the reality that abstraction is irreversible.
>>154537075
>>154537079I mean that's just an assumption on Pomni's part thoughImagine if Jax is just waiting in there for her to come back but she just never does because she thinks he's actually dead lmao
>>154536997I haven't seen anyone make that complaint in these threads, but that's obviously kind of a retarded criticism.They already gave up on leaving the circus in episode 8. Clearly they've already dealt with it and characters like zooble and gangle have already gone through an emotional journey which allows them to be comfortable in the circus
>>154537073>that's always a message that the circus residents always attribute to other beings before this Sort of? I think the thing to stress is that it's a possibility that they're always aware of, they just don't really want to talk about it or acknowledge it. Nobody goes "oh, a brainscan? I don't know what that is, can you explain it to me kinger?"A lot of stuff earlier in the show is them sort of pre-emptively working through it, I feel, to the point that if they had another therapy session where they worked through "not being real" it just wouldn't be a good use of time, IMO. Stuff like Pomni's interactions where she finds it easy to relate with gummigoo and that part where they're walking down the hallway and Zooble affirms that everything that happened between the people in the circus was real (no matter what happens next.) The whole show is them kinda dealing with de-personalization and loss of identity against their will whether that's their bodies or their place in life. and they still go through it once it's confirmed, Jax likely abstracts as a result, the rest just need time to process before Pomni and Kinger can re-motivate them.
>>154537068>>154537079>>154537083Let's assume there are four possibilities.Abstraction is either reversible or irreversible. AndTheir minds are still there inside their abstracted bodies, or they are completely gone.So we end up with:Abstarction being reversible and they are waiting to be saved.Abstraction being reversible but there's nothing inside to save.Abstarction being irreversible and nothing to save so no problem.Abstarction being irreversible and they are trapped forever in their own personal hell.Take your pick.
>>154537120>AbstarctionFucking repeated typo kill me
>>154537120I think it's probably more of a drastic change than outright death, but it's effectively death insofar as being able to relate and socialize with others. Kinger referred to Queenie as "different," not "gone."
>>154537110I was typing out a response to this but honestly I deleted it because I don't care enough to continue. It's 4 in the morning, my ac's busted, and I need to take my ass to sleep. So here, I'm just going to say the truth: we're both wrong. The entire ending that we got is not up to snuff, and should've been scrapped entirely. Let me tell you how it should have played out.The first half should have been about rescuing Caine from the void and then after he comes back he should reveal that he found every porn site ever while he was searching the internet. He then patches in the sex update. The next half of the episode is just the characters fucking, with even the NPCs getting involved.I am right and you cannot disagree with me or else you're a stupid bastard man
>>154534689This is my home now unfortunatelyDidn't you know? The ride never ends
>>154537153>with even the NPCs getting involvedsadly I cannot agree, Orbsman knows what he did and deserves none of life's pleasures
>>154537173
>>154537173I guess some people get told "write what you know" and hear "make every character exactly like you regardless of their circumstances or the impact on the story"

>>154535247Evil funnybunny seems surprisingly rare, considering it's a mirror of literally THE most popular ship
Why are people saying abstraction should be reversible? It's literally the only real danger they face in the circusDo we really need to unabstract Jax and give him MORE screentime?
>>154535436I don't even like Jax that much but I just want to cuddle a tied up Jax until he has an aneurysm
>>154535247Are ships exclusively romantic because I always liked the idea of Konger playing the grandfather role with Ragatha's Mom roleKinger being the experienced fun loving guardian with Ragatha being the responsible but overwhelmed mom
>>154535961not listening to any of that and staring into those eyes instead

>>154535639It was always going to end with Jax because he was always deflective and shrouded in mystery all the whole Pomni's main motivation was to bond with the others in the circus and it was apparent he was hiding the biggest secretsIt was a solid formula it's just that that secret sucked and left people unsatisfiedAlso he's based on Ted from IHNMAIMS so he was definitely getting a bad ending
>>154536271Abstraction in both CS and maths can roughly be summarised as making something more powerful by having it rely on less information. I suppose that's kinda apt.
>>154536466Programmer here, I would be in no way "hobbled" if I never had the ability or need to write a single line of code again
>>154537528So long-e, gay bunny!
I've never watched the show I just want to fuck the rabbit.
>>154537263I don't like the flag faggotry but Jax being literally Pomnisexual is a hilarious idea
>>154537439Which is weird because despite not being as popular as nice girl gets through to the bad the bitch falling for the soft boy is still pretty damn popularConsidering Jax' history with women evil Jax is basically Hefner of the evil circus
>>154537543Gay/asexual people often have plenty of exceptionsWatch an LGBT woman play re9 and you can pretty much see the synapses in her brain being rewired when Leon is on screen
>>154534669Writer here. Glad to see you guys liked it
>>154537554"political lesbians" are a thing for a reason.Obviously there are people who are genuinely gay and just don't react to attractive men/women (just like there are people who are genuinely straight) but a lot more people just fit themselves into the label without thinking too hard about it and then get confused when it turns out they never actually explored the boundaries of their sexuality that deeply
>>154537498If Jax is Ted, then who are the other Circus members? Kinger has some similarity to Nimdok, but apart from that, IMHAIS survivors don't really map on the TADC players (at the very least because one group has five members and another six).

dude it's not even bump limit
>>154537554Why do people draw Ragatha with huge tits, she's a lot cuter without them.
>>154537610i agree, she should be deliciously thin and lithe and svelte
>>154537608Well NOW it is...
>I got JaxWell then...
>>154537589Ragatha is Ellen who is obsessed with people pleasing, keeping the peace and making everyone happy usually at the expense of her own mental healthZooble is Benny who was once comfortable with their sexuality and identity now being messed with by being forced into a gross misshapen body they're unhappy withGangle is Gorrister because she's basically been so abused at this point any positive and optimism has been crushed into misery (this one is the only real stretch because Gangle we've never really explored gangles personality outside of "sad girl"
>>154537498>Also he's based on Ted from IHNMAIMS so he was definitely getting a bad endingsee >>15453663511 pages of Ted has a lot more depth than 9 episodes of the "Is Annoying Then Dies" show
>>154534837Can you edit him saying he is a committed relationship
>>154537106Should've dropped SOMA reveal earlier. Giving up on escaping seems bizarre otherwise
>>154537814Given that caine was just fucking with them by dangling an exit in front of them, I think it's pretty reasonable
zzzzzzzz
>>154535591That drawing hit me with nostalgia like a ton of bricks. Damn I miss him so much
>>154536929I'd hit that
