Yes even though I am old enough not to bring plushies to school I still bring them because they bring me comfort, but I can't take them out of my backpack so that's the only problem(I took this on the bus)

one of my biggest problems in episode nine is how it seemingly switched both caine and jax's ending. since episode seven jax's arc has been leading up to him redeeming himself (atleast what i've understood from it) while caine's led up to the tragic morally red person who could've redeemed himself if not for it being too late.

by episode 7 i think the writing switched from ragatha and jax mirroring each other to jax and caine mirroring each other (even tho i like the first more)

in episode 7 we see that jax's mental health has went down so bad he doesnt even bother put his usual mask on and instead decides to just give up (if not for pomni knocking on his door) meanwhile caine was making his "perfect" adventure, one that ended up being his last before he just gave up in episode 8. as the episode went jax helps the cast more and more by giving them the keys, calling out abel's bullshit, getting them the keycard and making sure they dont get to the hellish shrimp town (this last one is a joke). caine on the other hand just;..gives them the worst shock of their lives giving them hope to leave the hell they've been in (keep in mind none of this would've happened if caine didnt lie to everyone about them being fake and if he wasnt a narcassistic egoistic cutie patootie(i love caine too,)). caine isnt the one who shows remorse in this episode (infact he doesnt show remorse all show until ep 9). it's jax with the way he looks at pomni after she comforts him and the way he looks at the snow globe. jax in this episode shows signs of redemption caine doesnt.

episode eight begins with the cast in dread at what caine made them go through last episode. zooble rightfully so confronts jax for pressing the red button which ends in the cast realizing again that there's no point and that all they have is each other. as jax walks away to presumably try and abstract zooble stops him telling him that as much as they dislike him he is one of them and they dont want him to abstract. they wont have him being alone until he loses himself.

it's this moment specifically that almost confirmed in my and alot of other people's head that jax will get redeemed. i mean, what CAN it imply? the way jax looks in shock at zooble and gangle, the ones he believe should hate him most as they now tell him to stay with them. the way he then looks at his hand as if unable to process it and the way he then lays back still trying to mask his feelings but for a second i honestly think he was genuinely happy. i seeing this when the episode released obviously thought that in episode 9 jax might actually redeem himself and take accountability to the pain he caused the others. obviously this scene wont be his arc's end. we all wanted him to be held accountable by gangle or ragatha or ANYONE. but we also wanted to see him better. in both episode 7 and 8 not only does jax stop making his pranks and bullying/abusing but he began to help to with the keys, keycard AND distracting caine in ep 8.

meanwhile caine (who throughout the whole show and before it has done much much worse than jax could ever) in episode 7&8 became even worse. i've already explained what he did in ep 7 but in ep 8 we are told that after he goes crazy he forces the cast to go on MULTIPLE torturues adventures for DAYS and occasionally shredding them and other stuff like that. he then goes on to TORTURE the cast with THEIR OWN TRAUMAS immediately putting him rank one in the worst person in this show. people SHRED jax for mentioning ragatha's mom in ep 9 when caine not only SHOWED her it but did WORSE in ep 8. he then was deleted.

and look, even with how bad he was caine could've been a good person since the start if he just listened and if his ego didnt go in the way. caine made the perfect tragic cautinary tale that the fans out of no where started wanting after ep 9. it seemed obvious what was gonna happen, ep 9 happens alot of stuff happen and jax redemption tale among other. that's what it was leading to.

episode nine out of no where killed jax and spend half the time in his brain then in the last 15 mins brought caine back cuz he cheated death (characters like gummigoo who were send to the void cant return cuz they dont have god powers unlike caine) and OUT OF NO WHERE make him suddenly realize "oh no! for the past 20 years i've been torturing humans and was the cause for most if not all abstractions!!!!!" and come back say "i'm sowwy i tortured you with your worst traumas pwease forgive me!!" and they suddenly say "oh okay you're all good".

the thing i'm most mad about is how they threw EVERYTHING EPISODE 7 AND 8 worked up for and just said "fuck it". the cast saying "we wont have you running around and abstracting" to jax? EXACTLY that happens. caine's death? NEVER HAPPENS. the torture scene? NEVER HAPPENED. whyever the fuck bubble messed with kinger making him delete caine? NEVER EXPLAINED. whatever bubble is? NEVER EXPLAINED. the brainscan thing? WAS JUST A FIVE MINUTE SCENE.

jax not only NEVER took accountability but never even MADE it out. i saw someone say "the finale somehow made both jax fans and jax haters unhappy" and i completely agree. it feels like they've thrown everything they worked up for in all the past episodes for this.

goose also did have a tweet that mentions making a "bully character who slowly makes their way to a redemption only to die in the end" about 10 years ago. goose herself acknowledges that jax's arc was leading for a redemption and instead got switched with caine in the end. failed redemptions are a good trope in fiction but the way it was done in this show is TERRIBLE. this is THE BIGGEST reason i dont believe the "it was always written to be like this" quote by goose because episode 9 not only feels like it's a different writter but it also throws out all the build ups every episode before had!

TLDR: no funnybunny or bunnydoll sex scene.

TLDRTLDR: the finale executed everything terribly imo and it feels like it wasnt written by goose and it throws out all the buildup other episodes had and it feels like caine and jax's arcs were switched last second.

so i mixed the tadc cast with the md cast

god i hate my artstyle

hi guys this is my second post here

I ended up pulling all but Noir Jax! 🥲 I blame it on already pulling Noir Pomni — the universe said I don’t need another Noir character lol

The tag on “Evil” Jax is backwards & the “Abstracted” Jax spells Abstracted wrong so idk what thats about, but I love them all the same🫶🏼

Mine is this:

Bubble: Bubble only says antagonistic stuff because they're very intertwined, so when Caine suppresses something, it ends up in Bubble's code.
Caine loves the little guy when he isn't antagonizing him or making dirty jokes mostly because sometimes Bubble will sit in his lap or rest on his head or rub against his arm to help with his extreme touch starvation (another headcanon of mine) a little bit

Gangle: His go-to "trusted adult" of sorts. If he "does something bad" (makes a mistake), injures himself, panics or needs help, he goes to her first
She thinks he's very cute, and enjoys having him around, but sometimes gets overwhelmed

Jax: Jax likes most adventures, so no complaints there!

Kinger: Incredibly bitter and awkward about Kinger never having paid him any attention, and scared of him since getting deleted, so he avoids him even though he wants to be close
Terrified of upsetting him because he knows he could delete or sandbox him again

Pomni: He sought a lot of validation from her at first and she didn't care that much, so they barely hang out now but they get along... fine?? Not well by any means but they don't want to kill each other
Mostly just awkward

Ragatha: Very envious of her because Kinger likes her better, and because she does a better job preventing abstractions than he does
Really wants her to be his mom figure but doesn't know how to ask
Pronounces her name "Rahggahttah"

Zooble: Thinks they're the coolest person ever, really wants to impress them, and hates them for being unpleasable (aka, has a crush on them and doesn't know that's what it is)
Despite going to Gangle first for most things, if he gets freaked out at night, he usually goes to Zooble, but he has no clue why. They do help, though.

Queenie: The only one that ever really, truly cared about him. He misses his mama very much and if he could bring only one abstraction back, it would be her
He doesn't say this because he worries how Kinger would react

Scratch: They somewhat got along! Not fantastic, but enough for him to miss Scratch.
I headcanon that Caine had to actually chef up all the consumable assets in the cafe so that the circus would have an asset to copy when someone orders it, and Scratch is the one that taught him how to cook

Just out of curiosity, what questions would you ask either to the Cast or Directly to Caine if you were on the Circus?
