TADC Theory/prediction Thingy

TADC theory/prediction thingy

I've been thinking about how the series as a whole will be structured and finally have an idea I feel confident in.

I think the series will flow like the first season of Psychoville, the first and last episodes are, of course, setup and resolution, while the other episodes advance the overall plot while each episode also spotlights an individual character.

The main evidence is that, frankly, it's the best way to blend the implied backstory exploration with Caine's daily adventures. Which also gives numerous opportunities for guest stars like Elsie Lovelock as the Gloink Queen.

Something I find really funny is that the four male characters in TADC perfectly match up with tumblr's four most beloved male character archatypes:

Jax- smug, lanky asshole

Kinger- neurotic, bug-eyed old man

Caine- well dressed and erratic freak

Bubble- gross little creature

I'll do you one better:

Ignacio thought John was getting too close to the truth and so decided to burn his house down without telling the other cultists, for all Evermore knows, John really did just burn his own house down out of negligence.

Evermore is definitely part of the cult, but what if his "blah blah blah" thing with John was genuine, what if he genuinely believes he's just helping run an elite group of rich members of the town searching for immortality, and because he's all wrapped up in it, the idea of it being a cult is absurd to him

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 two, 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.

Thinking about the dream I had recently where there was an official HB video game.

I think the plot was Blitz decided to franchise IMP and your custom character was chosen as the manager/lead assassin of the new branch.

The gameplay was a sort of Kingdom Hearts hack-n-lash with you getting more employees as the game goes on, doing gigs both in Hell and on Earth.

There was a sort of cul de sac hub outside your office where you would get sidequests, and here's where things get weird. One of the quest chains was given to you by Wally Wackford, but if you talked to Wally after finishing said questline he would have no idea who you are, with it being implied that the Wally you've been doing favors for was an impersonator.

Dead/Abstracted Performer Headcanons Volume 5/5

Name: Stroinga (saw someone name this character something derpy with and S and it kind of sounds like string)

Avatar: Worm on a string headed weasel like character with a small acrobat type outfit and nubby limbs.

Personality: Energetic and very polite, she usually tried to make the best of a situation, even if her generally clumsy nature (and new body) got in the way.

Fun fact: She was the last of the first four performers to join the group and they all entered the circus at once.

Abstraction: Her's was the first ever, brought on by a typical existential crisis, at least, typical by the digital world's standards. Sine Stroinga was Caine's first experience with abstraction it took a little while to catch her, especially since he also had to make the cellar. Luckily, she didn't manage to do any real damage. Syghti was hit the hardest by her abstraction.

Name: Denz (from density, since it's the principal by which things float on water)

Avatar: Ring floatie torso, flipper sandal feet, snorkel pipe neck, entire cartoon dolphin body as a head. His entire body is very rubbery and hollow.

Personality: Slightly overbearing guy how props himself up as a sort of life coach for other performers. He can be really annoying but always means well. Denz has a deep love of music, so much so that he often asked Caine to turn up the in-game audio, much to everyone else's frustration.

Fun fact: He had tended to use his room for storage of mementos from various adventures and preferred to sleep on the digital lake.

Abstraction: He tried his best to help everyone with whatever personal stuff they could remember, no matter how little. Naturally, he took every abstraction he saw really personally, the perceived guilt and being seen as nuisance by most remaining performers proved to much for Denz. Ironically, he abstracted during a lake adventure, glitching Edgallen and Jax.

And that's it! I've know racked my brain over 10 dead cartoon characters how may or may not prove completely irrelevant by the end of the series and I regret nothing. I really do hope you enjoyed these!
