Reblog If You Love And Adore The Amazing Digital Circus!! 🎪♥️

Dead/Abstracted Performer Headcanons Volume 4/5

Name: Syghti (read sight-e)

Avatar: Pink cycloptic sasquatch, not much else to him.

Personality: Neat and methodical, and therefore not very fond of the digital circus. Syghti did his best to be a "team leader" to the three other members of the first group of perfomers and was surprisingly good a reasoning with NPCs.

Fun fact: Syghti held onto more of his memory than the average human and asked Caine to make replicas of some of his prized possessions for his room. This made Caine a bit sentimental as is part of the reason he doesn't reuse rooms.

Abstraction: Being seen as an authority figure for so long made Syghti develop quite the ego, which kept getting challenged by new arrivals. Chromeo III eventually managed to throw Syghti into a digital identity crisis and later an abstraction. He beat Chromeo so fiercely that he almost abstracted too.

Name: Pette (from puppet and the female suffix -ette, also sounds like pet)

Avatar: Four legged and somewhat realistic proportions except for her long and super bendy neck. She would sometime store things deep in her throat.

Personality: Being the youngest person to ever enter the circus (more on that later) she was pretty optimistic at first but became rebellious to the point she would frequently try to derail adventures as much as possible or see how far into the void she could fling herself before Caine brought her back to the grounds.

Fun fact: She entered the digital circus when she was only 14, most of the other performers saw her as a daughter or younger sister, even Caine felt this way to an extent. Bonus: The only thing in the circus Pette, herself, viewed as family was Bubble, who she saw as a brother she never had.

Abstraction: Pette never truly gave up hope of an exit, but this is exactly what eventually doomed her. One day someone remarked on much more mature she'd gotten over time, as time went on comments like this piled up until she realized that with how much time had passed and, more importantly, how much of her mental development, the circus had consumed, Pette became convinced she could never have a normal life if she left. All this lead to her abstraction, where she glitched Zooble, Queener and tore down several structures within the tent before Caine managed to get a hold on her.

Dead/Abstracted Performer Headcanons Volume 2/5

Name: Barridge ( A simple play on barrel of a gun and widget, also kind of sounds like barrage)

Avatar: Pink sloshy blob in a canon unicycle with a jester hat on the back.

Personality: Energetic and slightly clingy goober who was something of an adrenaline junky and enjoyed almost all the adventures.

Fun fact: Barridge had full control of the canon at all times, but not of his fluid head. Bonus: The other members of the first four took to calling him Barry and future arrivals all thought that was his actual name

Abstraction: He was the longest lasting member of the first four humans to enter the circus. The weight of missing his friends and Caine pressuring him to interact with the new performers just ended up being too much. His abstracted form broke a ride at the outdoor carnival and briefly glitched one other person.

Name: Queener ( Even I have to take the easy route some time)

Avatar: Only difference between her and Kinger that's not visible in the portrait is a longer robe.

Personality: Wine aunt who arrived at the same time as Kinger, neither could remember the other's human life, but felt they should stick close together and formed a very close but nebulous bond. They were fiercely protective of each other.

Fun fact: She had a Canadian accent.

Abstraction: Kinger started letting go of his inhibitions to have more fun on adventures which worried her but she kept those feelings buried until it was too late. Her rampage broke a bunch of crap in the tent but fortunately, no one was glitched. Kinger blamed his perceived recklessness for her snapping which made him even more paranoid than he would have been if she just abstracted on her own.

Dead/Abstracted Performer Headcanons Volume 3/5

Name: Chromeo III (two other performers briefly considered using the name Chromeo at Caine's suggestion, hence the III)

Avatar: A REALLY big legally distinct yoshi/barney. His tail ended with a transparent orb with a few colorful marbles in it. (He would automatically shrink to fit into his room's door)

Personality: Despite the name suggesting otherwise, this guy was the ultimate himbo. Real outdoorsy type too, so he got really grouchy whenever there was an in house adventure. He also frequently broke the carnival rides.

Fun fact: Chromeo was completely unaware as to how much Glumis hated his guts and was hit hard by his abstraction.

Abstraction: He eventually realized most of the other performers dismissed him as an overbearing doofus, as that feeling piled up he eventually just couldn't take it anymore. His abstracted form was actual quite small and really fast, it managed to glitch four people ( Gangle being among them)

Name: Edgallen (a combination of Edgar and Allen, I'm sure you'll figure it out after I describe the avatar)

Avatar: Greenish-off-white glow in the dark skeleton with glitter balls for eyes, moved around by several frog-eyed blobs. He could really glow in the dark.

Personality: Tired guy ( matching his scratchy voice) with a cynical sense of humor and interest in classically spooky stuff. He would due his best to help Ragatha in adjusting new humans (He was the second person to appear after her, the first one will come next time).

Fun fact: He convinced Caine to create a "creepy" fun house, Caine took it down after Edgallen abstracted to not repeat the mistake he made with Barridge's situation. Bonus: The fun house idea was based on the grey building north of the lake in this concept art:

Abstraction: A combination of Caine neglecting his interests, even after creating the fun house there were very few adventures in it, and good-old fashioned existential dread. He did a lot of damage since he was on his way to the fun house to avoid a repeat adventure, glitched Kaufmo and Zooble. His was the last abstraction before Kaufmo's.

Breaking down the new LN3 footage

HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT this was really wild, we basically got a collage of everything to expect from the Necropolis and what do you mean "pre-alpha gameplay footage"? This already looks amazing! Now let's start the actual breakdown

The area on the other side of the mirror seems to be the place where we see Low and Alone get pulled into the mirror in the reveal trailer, so that'll probably the beginning of the beginning for the game.

It's interesting to note that the Necropolis seems to be completely walled off from the surrounding desert.

I might be reaching here but that fact that a crow, an animal that's only previously been associated with the North Wind, is the first living obstacle the kids encounter is very interesting.

I can't, for the life of me, tell what era or region clothes the Dwellers are supposed to be wearing so if anyone can tell me, that'd be a big help.

We've had numerous variations of the eye symbol with various meanings ascribed to each, so, again, if anyone can point out any previous instances of this particular version of the eye, please do so.

Quicksand will be a hazard in the Necropolis and more than anything I'm just astonished there wasn't a sand burrower.

The Hercules Beetles are way nastier than I thought, likely because of their disgustingly realistic buzzing, makes feel less bad that Baby already killed most of them.

The bundled bodies around the area are definitely concerning, maybe the Dwellers use to preserve corpses as "offerings" to Monster Baby.

BABY CAN TURN HER EYE BEAMS OFF! This took me completely by surprise, the implications of this are very fascinating to think about.

The kids, or specifically, Low, wake up in a room with padded walls, implying their either in the sewing room of the Seamstress from the Lonely Way (not good), or the Counties Psychiatric Institute (really not good) and on top of that, darkness closes in around them. While we're on it, Lowe wakes up in the same way the protags of previous games do when you respawn and in the same situation that they (and Noone) do too, as their caught by a resident.

One last thing, the blue to grey pulse on the logo screen feels eerily like a heartbeat, and given the top of the "main" mirror almost looks like a heart...

Glad someone finally made the joke

I had a vision…
