Was Just About To Make A Post Like This.

Was just about to make a post like this.

HOO BOY

what an episode! absolutely marvelous so, one background detail I was particularly interested in was all the doors of people who got abstracted, I counted 9 total characters (not counting Kaufmo)

of even more particular interest is Queen-er

she is obviously connected to Kinger in some way. and is really the only one that can be connected to another character at all (aside from the sad yellow dog-clown which would be connected to Kaufmo) as for how they're connected i don't really have any ideas, maybe they were a couple that both transported in at once? maybe she was the 2nd one to enter and Caine was still doing chess theming? who knows. either way, it's theory fodder

For all we know, Mammon might be the one fanning the flames to keep eyes off of whatever shady shit he's up to, or maybe he's just targeting Ozzie for taking Fizz and some of the income he brought in away. After all, it only makes sense Mammon wouldn't forgive someone for hurting his bottom line, no matter how minor the damage was.

Trying read the article and it defo mentions big wallet near the end. - Fizz is only using Ozzie for his money and bla bla bla.

We of course know that isn't true.

I think the rumours are maybe getting to fizz? Even though he is famous, he is still an imp who hold the lowest ranking in Hell's hierarchy with hellhounds.

Poor dude even throws the bin out the window after putting the news paper in the bin.

The rumours have defo been going on for a while. He's nervous when the workers see ozz and him snuggling near the end of the episode.

Edit: Ozzie has defo had enough of the focus on him and Fizz in the news as well. As well as the workers disgussing it behind their backs. He can probably sense Fizz is uncomfortable as well?

I wonder if Mammon will mention anything about it next episode.... I'm interested about what the other sins think. Except for Bee of course, cause she would defo support their relationship.

(Idk what else to put I'm tired. been up for over 24 hours -now edited)

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.

I love the little shape creatures, also, yeah, those low-poly black tendrils are really interesting.

Right time to analyse this shit because god dammit I have been silently making theories about this show the second I saw the premise I’m about to become the most annoying person on the planet on god so LETS GOOOOOOO-

First things first the animation looks fucking phenomenal (let Kevin Temmer cook, that man can do no wrong). Also Caine the guy ever, he is the silly and I love him wholeheartedly, he’s just a fucked up little guy who’s living his best life fr.

And also NEW CHARACTER HELLO.

They do be circling though.

THE SILLIES ARE HERE LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOO 🎉🎉🎉

Smiling Gangle spotted ten seconds before disaster, no thoughts head empty indeed.

ALSO I WASN’T EXPECTING STUFF OUTSIDE THE CIRCUS BUT IT’S A WELCOME SURPRISE WHOA

They have come to steal your credit card information.

The thoughts I had of Ragatha being the lone brain cell keeping everything together were completely correct I CALLED IT- (it has been said by Gooseworx that she has been there the second longest so she’s probably gotten used to the zaniness by now…maybe)

A door that leads to a void?

Maybe it has something to do with this room in the teaser trailer? Possibly.

Tumblr sexyman spotted.

''If there was a way to leave I'm sure we'd have all left by now''

They're ✨suffering✨

This caught me off guard when I first saw it lmao (holy FUCK I love Zooble's design, they're everything to me).

''Welcome to your new home...AND your new body...''

So they're aware that they were human before they entered the circus? That's interesting considering what happens in a few seconds (I'll get to that soon). It's also worth mentioning that Gooseworx has stated that their clothes ARE a part of their bodies.

Case in point...

At the end of the character introduction compilation Gooseworx posted to their YouTube channel Pomni is heard saying something along the lines of

''How do I...take this...headset off?!''

I saw a few people theorizing about her talking about a VR headset and that was how she entered the circus to begin with (I had the same thoughts until very recently). However, considering how much of the visuals and character designs are based on old media (also a teaser image was set up as the menu screen for a retro game), I'm beginning to think that this isn't the case.

So it's incredibly likely that Pomni is actually talking about her jester headpiece since she can't take it off.

This scene is probably the first time Pomni sees her new body, pinwheel eyes and all.

''I'm fine with whatever, as long as I get to see funny things happen to people''

I love him he's so unbothered.

I'm sad that we didn't get to hear any dialogue from them but I can't wait to see them in the pilot! Kinger is love, Kinger is life.

''After a while you start to realise that you really can't leave, and constantly chasing an unattainable goal will start driving you a little crazy''

She's a little fucked up actually wow who saw that coming.

It sounds like Ragatha tried to leave a few times and just resigned to her fate after a while, her description DID say that she was the ''sweetest little optimist in the digital circus'', so maybe she's told the others that escaping is impossible and that they should make the best of their situation instead? (Also the framed picture of the right looks like some kind of void, a lot of void imagery here).

Also, Gooseworx released this image a short while ago and it has the same background that Ragatha had while she was talking so she's DEFINITELY talking to Pomni here.

''OH GOD! WHY CAN'T I REMEMBER MY NAME?!''

EXCUSE ME? Okay time for some more speculation. I knew that their names definitely weren't their real ones but I wasn't expecting them to forget them!

Now, since the premise is said to be centred around Pomni and the others getting messed with by AI and their traumas, maybe instead of forgetting what their names were, they actually REPRESSED their memories from when they were human due to the trauma they went through? (Which would include their names)

I don't buy that they've COMPLETELY forgotten who they were (Zooble is aware that the body they're in isn't the one they used to have so I'm guessing everyone else knows that too.)

I'm guessing that their human lives absolutely SUCKED and they've now repressed their trauma to the point where they can barely remember who they were in the human world, this is just speculation.

''Thank goodness this is all a dream, right Pomni?''

What a sassy little guy (it's so weird hearing Michael Kovach sound so reserved, he's normally feral as hell playing these kinds of characters). The little mannequin symbol on the door is probably there for when new people stumble into the circus.

She's definitely seen some shit, I wonder what it could be though?

OH MY GOD THERE'S MORE OF THEM 😭

Wow this background looks...oddly normal. The only thing I can think of this being is Pomni witnessing a flashback of her human life before she showed up in the circus.

''You completely lose sight of who you are and why you're even alive and when you reach your breaking point something REALLY terrible can happen''

OH? Okay speculation time again. This is the closest hint we've gotten to what exactly one of the gang's traumas could be. Ragatha may have forced herself to stay positive in really shitty situations during her human life which likely lead to a lot of negative thoughts which eventually lead to her doing...something, I'm not sure what though, maybe it lead to her losing an eye? (Maybe her new body represents that?) I'm not sure. Maybe this is why she's been in the circus for as long as she has, instead of dealing with her feelings and existentialism, she instead continues to try to be someone who's more adjusted than they actually are.

Again, this is all just speculation, maybe it's just an Infinity Train type of thing where they can't leave until they learn to accept what they went through and how to work through it healthily idk.

WHAT THE HELL IS THAT? Well, I'll tell you what I think it is.

I think it's this weird tar like tentacle thing from the teaser trailer, I don't see what else it could be.

And I'm 90% sure that whatever it is, it's connected to this room, and I think that THIS is gonna be where we'll be seeing what the gangs traumas are (Ragatha looked TERRIFIED when she was grabbed so if this was the case I wouldn't be surprised). I'd also like to speculate that this could possibly be another AI. There's Caine, Bubble, and whatever the hell those little shape creatures are, so it's very likely that other AI does exist, we just haven't seen them yet.

But who knows? I'm probably looking too much into it.

Woah new background, he is angy.

I would go into another theory I have about how their designs may hint at what trauma they have but I've spent over an hour writing, compiling trailer screenshots, and speculating every individual frame while suffering with chest pains I wanna go to bed

Holy shit that took WAY longer than I thought it would. I cannot WAIT to watch the pilot, this show has become one of my most anticipated projects of the year over the last few months and I can't wait to see what it has in store.

TL;DR: The trailer looks fire 10/10 can't wait for the inevitable Pomni plushes.

Roy episode predictions/ramblings <3

The closer we get to SM6 the more excited I get for both it and for the hatzgang episode just for the Roy content.

My theory for the episode is a little like this: Roy decides to mess with Skid and Pump but Ross and Rob refuse to join him so he decides to do it on his own. He finds the boys messing around in a somewhat secluded spooky place where he and the spookies encounter the episode's villain.

Most of the episode is the three avoiding the villain with Roy blaming everything on Skid and Pump but warms up to them over the course of the episode. Towards the end Ross and Robert, maybe even Roy's parents, decide to look for him and ultimately find him with Skid and Pump laughing not at them, but with them. They're all a little scuffed up but generally okay and the episode ends with Roy offering to take the spookies along with the gang for some candy... and promising that he'll actually pay for it this time. :)

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!
