Tadc Headcanon - Tumblr Posts
Mini headcanon to this - Eve (Caine's mom) was very unlucky in her love life and often had ended up divorcing with her spouse. But often out of those marriages she had at least one kid. So, at some point, she started to call all her sons "Able" so, in case she had divorced again and didn't won one of her kids in the court, she would find them one day. Because, how many toons with objects for a head and named "Able" can be here? (A lot turns out)
End of headcanon. Thank u for coming to my Tedtalk 🙇
Bubble: *zooopp* ... *Turns left*
Bubble: Hey Bubble
Bubble: Oh, hey Bubble.
Caine: ... W h A t
(idk why Zoop is the sound effect I decided splitting apart was. That makes no sense.)
Random TADC headcanons
Pomni is a sucker for gothic aesthetic... and vampires.
Jax made prank YouTuber/TikToker back in the real world.
Zooble is rivals with Jax in the real world and often made commentary videos about him.
Gangle maybe a theatre kid, but, for some reason, she absolutely cannot stand the musicals 'Cats' and 'Hamilton'. She wants to enjoy them, but just can't sit through the whole thing.
Ragatha is secretly a huge metalhead.
Queenie was already in love with Kinger, but when she heard him sing, she was swooning.
Caine has a text-to-speech function. Jax has yet to figure out how to work it.
Bubble can split into multiple copies.
Pride Zooble ❤️🧡🤍🩷💜
(I headcannon her to be a nonbinary lesbian)
Happy Pride Monthe Everyone!!! 💛🤍💜🖤
Dead/Abstracted Performer Headcanons Volume 1/5
Decided to make a bunch of shit up about all the dead people who entered the digital circus (divided into pairs)
Name: Glumis (pronounced like gloom and the name Loomis)
Avatar: Relatively short and stocky inchworm (with suspenders) but his torso and arms telescope out when sufficiently excited or angry.
Personality: Self important "artiste" who initially enjoyed the circus and always gave Caine suggestions for what would make the most engaging and "well written" adventures. He carried himself as empathetic but lashed (and stretches) out when someone would criticize his ideas.
Fun fact: Kinger, Ragatha and Kaufmo were the only canonically named performers to meet Glumis before his abstraction.
Abstraction: One day he realized Caine never took his suggestions and confronted him about it, Caine tried to let him down gently but Bubble showed up and accidentally made it seem like Caine had a personal grudge against Glumis, which broke him. He was sent to the cellar before he could do any damage.
Name: Rovey (since Rover is the most common dog name)
Avatar: Avarege sized dog with a tie that covers their torso and two pairs of cufflinks on each limb (with and extra one on their left leg).
Personality: Cartoonishly boring and tranquil southerner who tried to befriend everyone to keep a healthy balance in the circus dynamic. Occasionally played into stereotypical dog behavior to amuse the other performers.
Fun fact: Rovey was among the first four people to enter the program (even before the chess pieces) and due to a one-off bug forgot what gender they identified as in the real word (he/him, in case you were wondering). Bonus: They could emit stock dog noises.
Abstraction: When new humans entered the digital circus for the first time since their arrival Rovey was so disturbed by the sheer idea of unknowing people being trapped there that it depressed them to the point of Abstraction. They glitched the newbie and two other "original" humans in there rampage by the lake. (The last original had already abstracted)

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.

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.

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!

Got me thinking about a new worker going in that has no idea people get stuck in there or lose their memories so they're just like "oh cool these NPCs are really interactive" and the whole cast is just screaming at them to fucking HELP THEM
Tadc headcannon, only the headsets transport you into the game, I know this seems obvious but I can’t help but think about a worker going into the digital circus and the others being so confused on how they remember so much stuff and they got to choose their look and (user)name
HOLD UP!!!!!!
I HAVE A THEORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so what if abstraction in tadc is just caine getting rid of a persons their digital form because he is getting bored of them. so he makes the simulation make them go crazy of the fact that there is ¨ no exit ¨ and then finally when their mind brakes they abstract and get taken out of the simulation, setting them free from the ai. sort of ¨ waking them up¨. THINK ABT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! because in games that aren't all the way developed, there are random disregarded designs and features throughout the game so maybe the cellar is where caine keeps the designs of former trapped people that he got bored off.

Ragatha caregiver headcanons! ☆
SFW ONLY! AGE REGRESSION IS A COPING MECHANISM. AGEPLAY AND DDLG ARE NOT ALLOWED HERE AND YOU WILL BE BLOCKED!
Ragatha would be the most motherly and loving caregiver!
I personally headcanon that Ragatha really wants to have a child of her own, but since she’s a trans woman she’s unable to get pregnant, so she finds comfort in being a caregiver and also being the “mom friend”
She ends up treating the others like babies even if they hate it (Jax hates it the most)
Ragatha x age regressor y/n
She will give you anything you need! Whether it’s a blanket or a cuddle she has everything!!
Scared of monsters? She’ll scare those monsters away for you (as long as they’re not centipedes, then she’ll run away screaming with you)
She will 100% protect you from Jax and his pranks
“Mommy loves you too sweetie!”
Cuddles and forehead kisses 24/7
“Baby I can’t just feed you sweets, you need healthy food to grow big and strong”
She will still spoil you with sweets though
She absolutely adores you and will do anything to keep you safe and happy!!
“Aww you’re such a precious baby!”
She’ll probably buy you tons of adorable outfits, maybe even a few matching ones
“Don’t argue with me, you are wearing this bow.”
She’s always happy to join every activity
“Want me to show you how to draw a rainbow?”
Constantly showers you with love and praise
She’s just the sweetest girl ever

Can you do headcanons for a young child reader who constantly follows jax around, loves physical affection, and thinks jax is their 'dad'?
(Obviously this request is plantonic, not romantic!)
I think I might've went a little overboard with this one! Way longer than most of my posts but I guess that isn't really a bad thing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Jax unwillingly becomeing a parent
★ His first and only question was how the hell did a four year old get in this situation. The headset should have been way out of reach for you. Questions that will never be answered, I guess.
★ After making you cry the first time he spoke to you he tried to steer clear of you. That worked out horribly because you seemed to want to always be near him. Much to everyone's confusion.
★ "oh my! Looks like the little one has taken an interest in you!" Was Cain's response to seeing you huddled up near Jax. At some point he gets a child harness to keep you in his line of sight. It's just easier this way.
★ By the way he didn't mean to make you cry, he just didn't know how young you were and said something he would've said to an adult. Kids cry easily, what are you gonna do?
★ Jax stole a few pillows from Kinger for you to sleep with. Yes, you don't technically need to sleep but he's not going to tell you that. Nap time is one of the only times he can get a moment to himself.
★ He gets beyond pissed when you get woken up during nap time. To the point where he's barely keeping it together and wants to beat whoever woke you up with a chair leg.
★ If you want to be picked up, then he's picking you up. It doesn't matter if he's talking to somebody or doing something. You'll get picked up while he's doing something and without missing a beat he'll continue like nothing happened.
★ Instead of giving you the usual Jax treatment, he just tells you the most outlandish lies while trying to convince you that they are true. Sometimes he tells you something that sounds so true you don't question his bullshit.
There's a list of things he's told you!
If you push down on Ragatha's nose it will make a honking noise.
There's a secret room hidden in a closet filled with veggies for people who are allergic to meat.
Birds aren't real.
When he was your age, he was a year older. (It took you a moment to figure that one out)
Caine is the tooth fairy.
★ Jax isn't known for his empathy, but he does feel conflicted when you talk about small details from your life before meeting him. What color your house was, the lullabies your mother sang and the books you used to be read. It all makes him think.
★ You're family might be looking for you, not knowing where you are and that you're trapped. Do you even realize this? They probably think you're dead, that something terrible happened to you. Those thoughts make his stomach sink.
★ If he cares about you this much he can only imagine the grief your family feels. You will forever be a blissfully ignorant child not knowing the truth of what's really going on.
Ok, so I've dealed with rabbits several times before, and I can tell you, they can be VERY LOUD. they yell VERY LOUDLY and VERY HIGH-PITCHED sometimes when they feel threatened. The young ones tend to do it more, but the older ones also do it sometimes as well.
So this lead me to a thought: can jax do this?
For random example, imagine you trip jax on purpose or you touch his arm on accident while you're walking around, and he just screeches. Very loudly.
That'd be hilarious.
