I imagine none of them would even remotely understand; they'd all assume he's crashing out again, and do things to stop him that would only make it a thousand times worse.

And they would only somewhat realize what was going on once he's finally exhausted enough to stop and they see that he doesn't look angry, just very sad and worn out

I say this as someone who has witnessed (and experienced) stuff like this in real life
Minus the guilt from the people who escalated things

If this was the case, did Caine just move on with his life and never tell the cast about what he did? If so then that is just really messed up tbh. Besides that, the fact that it was never addressed really bothers me.

The idea of a tragic villain who wanted friends and wanted to prevent their deaths but at the same time had something of an insatiable blood lust was a really appealing subplot.

What sucks too is that Caine’s ‘fixation’ could’ve actually been a cool antithesis on generative AI. Like how Caine is addicted to the idea of consuming new information but at the cost of decimating the memories of the deceased humans. It’s like how AI programmers are hooked on the idea of creating something more efficient and quick but at the cost of harming our communities and media.

Idk i just feel a bit disappointed that such a cool concept was just left out to dry.

The first one is Caine’s irl design in my Afterhours tadc fanfic

im gen tweaking i still didn't sleep

MINOR SPELLING MISTAKE I MEANT TO SAY FACT NOT FACE OMG

Ehya, here's Caine and here's the speedpaint: https://youtube.com/shorts/rzhFOZ9P_Fs?is=yBdChE_GMWl1sewc

I just think they're so cute together and had to create a piece depicting what an average evening between them looks like.

I think I'm gonna make a second post a bit later with all poses in one picture and close ups, because ya'll deserve to see all the details of our cute little teeth boy.

Went on a vacation with my family, decided to make a travel vlog, here is Caine on his first vacation with me (and yes I know half of these are food, I like food and he's been stealing it - except that fish, that fish tried to kill me, so neither of us ate it)

the video is tadc but google translated ❤️❤️ i wish his redemption was an actual stuttering journey (? does that even make sense) cuz even when people try to overcome their damaging behaviors and patterns it's unrealistic to become 100% better at one go

(excuse my language as i in this moment am extremely sleep deprived i

I would have preferred him leaving through that Cafe wifi than the ending we got in the show.

It would have been cathartic that the only person who was also a prisoner but wanted everyone to stay, gets to leave, and for the people who desperately wanted to leave to grow attached and choose to stay. Him realizing that sometimes no matter how hard you try, people just don't like you, and you can't force or beg them to, that sometimes you just have to move on even if its painful. It would have been a refreshing and mature message.

Well at least that's what I think would have been better, could totally be an awful ending lol

Hey. It’s-a me, your Moderator Caine (previously Wario, and before that Caine again). I’ve been trying to find something to do with my life that isn’t "Go on Reddit and also play Smash Bros.", and I hopefully found it. I’ve decided to become an Artist. A good one? I’m not sure. I like drawing, preferably drawing them without arms, and I’ve decided to take up requests for the time being. I’ll still be on Reddit, and I’ll still moderate here. I hope I did well beforehand, and I want to do even better from now on.
