So After Reading A Post From @anthurak I Couldn't Stop Thinking About One Particular Sentence:

So after reading a post from @anthurak I couldn't stop thinking about one particular sentence:

Ozzie makes a big point about how he believes lust should be consensual between all parties, openly decrying the use of ‘love potions’ and other means of coercing.

Eventually I realized which part stuck in my mind:

openly decrying the use of ‘love potions’ and other means of coercing.

The reason this stuck out to me is it made me realize that if Ozzie knew about the fact that Stolas basically used the grimoire to extort favors from Blitz on a monthly basis up until the events of Western Energy, he probably wouldn't approve of their relationship as much as he does.

There's something off about Bubble

So, we all know he's Caine's sidekick/ cohost who helps with "grunt work" (cleaning and cooking) around the circus and joins in on the adventure introductions.

The thing that sticks out about Bubble the most, at least to me, is him being the only entity in the circus that can get away with directly antagonizing Caine, being the cohost, he always reappears after being popped because Caine needs to keep up the "show's" format.

Not only that, but he frequently takes advantage of it, eating the cake and annoying Caine when introducing the Gloinks, all in all Bubble is not much nicer than Jax.

All this begs the question: Why would Caine make such a sidekick in the first place? Caine may not have an even remotely solid grasp on human behavior, messy thought patterns and skewed priorities, but he's not stupid, he can tell when something is good or bad for his goal of entertaining both the performers and audience. So why make a cohost who relishes in toying with him so much?

I think Bubble holds more sway over the digital circus than we know, possibly being on par with Caine in terms of actual control, just relinquishing the actual authority to him. Not sure about the details, I am working off of a single episode after all, but still thought this was worth sharing, feel free to leave feedback!

I keep forgetting to talk about this but the time has finally come, does anyone else wind it weird that Susie is the sixth playable character in the SM board game? Like, let's look at the others and then I'll epxlain.

Skid and Pump are the main characters so of course they're there, and the same goes for Lila. Roy has one of the clearer defined character arcs in the series and represents the Hatzgang as a whole. John is the more serious of the cops who have their own background plot which is building the overarching narrative. Kevin is the series main "comic relief" and a fan favorite as well as seemingly being a very major character in the next episode.

With all these characters, I'd probably guess the last one is Frank if I didn't know it was Susie, which tells me that Susie will become a much more important character than she currently is, which I'm really excited for. Unfortunately, this also might imply Frank's episode was one of the two to get cut and his arc will either be greatly reduced, though I hope I'm wrong about that.

Volume 6 of Spooky Month headcanons

I'm back, bitches! I've got some more specific hcs for you fine folks this time.

Boys n' Grills was something of a hangout for the cultists before Bob got arrested in the first episode, some of them were personally pissed at him for getting caught and getting it closed down.

While we're at it, the person who was going to run the diner when it reopened is also a cultist, but Bob breaking in during Tender Treats got the reopening canceled too.

The Hauntiest House isn't actually local to Frighden, they travel from town to town renting recently vacated houses, Streber often tries to use the house layout to add to the experience their preparing that given year.

I mentioned this in an earlier volume but have expanded it a bit, thin thief's name is Burton and fat thief's name is Keith.

Mayor Evermore often doesn't notice when he's hungry, when he does it's usually after his secretary mentions that he hasn't eaten in a while. This isn't a cult thing either, he's just a freak (that I may be projecting onto).

Ross was an unplanned baby, but because of their easy going nature his parents weren't nervous. On the other hand Lila freaked out when Jaune told her.

When Rick coughs he sounds like a bulldozer exploding and it tends to scare the shit out of people if he coughs in public.

When Pump is a little older him and Susie start doing ProZD style skits for her socials in addition to her art.

Richard was really close with his brother and has become a good bit colder and more closed off after his death, this is one of the reasons Roy hasn't told his parents about what his uncle did, at least not yet.

Fuck it, live blogging my reaction to TADC pilot!

*circus entities are officaly NPCs, I like it!

*Bubble being gross, perfect for Goose.

*Caine keeps the rooms for dead humans but just crosses out their avatar's portraits, again, seems in character.

**Nevermind, they get abstracted and turn into low poly beasts.

*Kinger is, in fact my favorite character. Lovely neurotic chess man.

*Ragatha' dynamic with Pomni is more interesting than I thought.

*The Gloinks tickle my brain.

*Weird door montage, classic Goose.

*Of course the big thing is the Gloink queen

*Why is a gloink glitching? Is Kaufmo doing that?

*Ooooh- Going PT for a bit with the fake exit.

*Gastrointestinal gameshow reference?!?!<3

*The makers of the circus seems to be a firm called C&A ( Caine and something?)

*An actual Wackywatch, neat, also Caine and Bubble are my favorite 2 character dynamic!

*I forgot about Ragatha, good thing she's better.

*Caine wanted to ad an exit because they wanted one, without understanding why they actually want it. He's so misguidedly cute.

*Adorable credits and HOLY SHIT THERE'S ALREADY MERCH!

*One last thing, the moon being slutty for Caine was my favorite joke.

There's our lad!
