Dead/Abstracted Performer Headcanons Volume 3/5

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.

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

Glad someone finally made the joke

I had a vision…

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

I kind of feel bad for having Kinger as my TADC blorbo because a lot of people do and some people probably think Jax or Pomni are my other favorites but my second favorite is actually Zooble and I'm a little miffed that they were a glorified m'guffin in the pilot. Gonna start rebloging more Zooble stuff.

So the OST of The Amazing Digital Circus pilot dropped and I wanna talk about it.

Of course we already had the main theme but it's always welcome.

Welcome to the Show is the first of Evan Alderete's work I've encountered but I already like the guy's style

The fact that the next song is literally called Get Iseaki'd means so much to me, a perfect distillation of what I love about Gooseworx unique brand of weirdness.

All of It fittingly feels like a menu or level select theme and has such an eager energy that fits perfectly.

XDDCC reminds me of the works of Louie Zong and something else that I can't quite place.

I really hope Today's Adventure plays for every episode's adventure introduction, which fortunately for me, seems likely as Goose wrote it herself.

Useless Blivots is quirky and some parts of it feel like a dopey game over/fail theme, fitting since it's around this point that the situation really sets in for Pomni.

Conversation Piece also feels made to be a reoccurring piece and has a feel similar to the Spooky Month OST, which is never a bad thing.

Kaufmo the Clown is actually way more intense than I remember from watching the episode, not much to say but a really strong and tense theme.

I can see why Gone Mad went unused, it's good but it feels like it would've worked better in a later episode when something assumed stable by the characters AND the audience goes wrong.

Love the suspense in Wrong Doors, very different type of intimidating from Kaufmo's theme.

Worm Mom is a perfect theme for an NPC/adventure villain like the Gloink Queen, certainly some Grant Kirkhope inspiration here.

The tense but sort of adventurous tone of Enter Exit is great for setting a scene.

And Going Nowhere is even better at building off of that scene and filling it with fear and mystery.

Dinner For Two immediately made me think of Little King's Story, which is a very good thing.

Sorry About That neatly fills the narrative role while also having the vibe of both and epilogue theme and a pause theme. Potentially another regular theme.

Your New Home is the song everyone knows thanks to memes and is nothing short of a perfect remix of the main theme to end of the pilot.

Digital Days, we finally have a name for the hella underrated credits song!

And that's all I've got to say about the soundtrack, I didn't quite realize how rich and varied it was until now, guess that's what individual soundtracks are for. Can't wait to see how it grows along with the show in the future, really, an all-around phenomenal production.
