The Amazing Digital Circus Bubble - Tumblr Posts
who's ready for TADC ep2?
Hi I'm just rambling about TADC because I just think this could be so interesting and just sjegsuegwjsvehev
Here's generally what I talk about in this post in order:
Cain and Abel
Kaufmo and Pomni
Kinger and the "insect collection"
I'm might be reaching super hard but I'm gonna talk about the possible "Abel" brought up in this video
While the theory that the Abel could've been the first abstracted is an interesting idea, I believe it's Bubble.
Someone in the comments mentioned how Caine repeatedly kills them throughout the episode, which could be a nod to the original story of Cain and Abel from the Bible. They're always together (bubble straight up comes out Caine's hat in the intro and is with him while the general chaos of the pilot is going on). The line about Caine calling Bubble a parasite could have a deeper meaning considering they always come back no matter how many times Caine pops them and literally always being with him (this feels like a crazy stretch but I don't have enough solid evidence to really explain my thought process on this one lol)
There's a few things to support the biblical theories for this show shown in this persons videos on TADC that you should definitely watch cause they're really good.
Additionally there's no way Kaufmo abstracting as soon as Pomni shows up is a coincidence. It's a circus and they need a clown! Or we could say jester if we're looking at the theory of a royal court (it's related to the religion things) which I've only seen a bit about.
KINGERS LINE ABOUT THE "insect collection" HAS BEEN ITCHING MY BRAIN FOR SO LONG SO I JUST HAVE TO GET IT OUT MY SYSTEM
He's gotta be a bug tester for the game!! His mind is obviously not all there but he's been there the longest (in this batch of humans) and knows a bunch about the digital world.
"insect collection" could be the brokenish memory of what he was sent into the digital world to do: find bugs in the game and document/COLLECT THEM!!
I like just woke up a few hours ago and it's 6:19am now so I'm not exactly the most coherent with my writing but I hope my brain vomit smoothie got my point across just a lil bit
Pride Caine ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
(I headcannon him to be gay
Also here’s a Pride Bubble 🖤🩶🤍💚🤍🩶🖤
(Bubble is agender and aro ace)
Happy Pride Month Everyone!!! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
(Forgot to add bubble so here you go)
Bubble is a Babysitter, They don't usually take care of the littles for long periods of time, (totally not because Caine doesn't trust them to-), but they do when there's no one else available. Bubble is a great cook and will clean up after the littles. They have no set nicknames for anyone. Bubble's words and actions will be in Blue and anything referring to them will be white/black
Hi, mod Nash here, just wanted to let you all know that you can make mini fic requests, for me to make, as well as you can roleplay with the characters as long as you're not being inappropriate. I'm also more than happy to make some friends here! as long as you're okay with me being a minor. one more thing, my messages will be in green. anyways, have a great day everyone! I hope you had happy holidays, bye!
✦ If there's one thing that can wipe off his smile real quick, it's Bubble...
✦ "Such a funny-looking fella you are !" - Probably Caine (Poor Bubble happened to be near)
Posting this one separately from the ask because I really REALLY love it and I want it to show up well on the side with the other pieces ! Sorry for the repost ! 💧
I see he likes Gangle! I see he likes all the girls actually... Is it possible he's a bit of a charmer? A ladies-man? At least is that the image he likes to present?
✦ Crazy you got that just from who he did and didn't like ! But you're right ! He's absolutely the charmer-type and loves presenting himself as a ladies-man who can easily make a "demoiselle" swoon over him. Also works with guys, he just does it less.
It's not written on his description (maybe I should add it) but he's a big tease/flirt. In the main cast, he does that with Ragatha, Gangle and Caine the most, because they're the ones who get veeery easily flustered, so it's the funniest to do !
RARELY if ever does he try with Zooble because they're basically the least receptive and, quite frankly, think it's super weird of him. So now one of his little secret goals is to fluster them specifically.
Pomni's one he often teases as well. But kinda same as with Zooble, she's just really not as receptive as the others and pretty much always clocks it as dishonest, since he often would rather bully her than flirt. She finds it kinda creepy as well.
Kinger is usually not receptive, not because he finds it weird, but because he just- doesn't get it. Which is frustrating really, and Arlekin has already gone through the embarrassing motion of explaining what he meant to him more than once, enough for him to just not risk it again. Except if there's a perfect timing he just couldn't miss.
Jax is also one is teases often, simply because it looks like it disgusts the rabbit every time, so the failure of the flirt circles back to being hilarious, thus flirting has become one of his favourite tactics to use on Jax. (It's also a personal goal to fluster him specifically, like Zooble)
NPCs always get flirted with, that's a given for any adventure, so the newer, smarter NPCs were a joy to deal with for him.
And Bubble... well, Bubble is Bubble and he'd rather not be caught in their general vicinity.
(THAT WAS HELLA LONG, SO SORRY)
So what does Pomni and the rest of the Circus think of Arlekin?
✦ Boy oh boy, here we go !
Pomni | She finds Arlekin kinda creepy and unsettling, tbh. The whole "always smiling" thing is just weird- and it's really not like he's the nicest to her either. When she arrived, he called her his "pathetic, colourful little Pierrot" and has just been bullying her ever since. So, all in all, not a fan. He's not her least favourite, but he's certainly second lowest on the list.
Ragatha | Genuinely likes Arlekin ! (well, not an achievement, she'd rather like everybody... But hey, Jax can't do it , unlike him !) It's all in the fact that he's not as consistently shitty as Jax is. He has his... "nice" moments, where his assholery is on cool down, you could say. And Ragatha really likes him during those, so his other more mischievous moments get... a pass, somewhat. She'll scold him for it still. Plus, during Caine's adventures, he gets actually legitimately involved if he likes it, and if he doesn't, he'll just stand back and watch if anything fun happens, which means that unlike Jax, he won't actively sabotage things and get all murder hobo-ey, and she really REALLY appreciates that.
Caine | How could he not like this positively amusing fella ! Arlekin is almost NEVER mean to Caine, simply because he often tries to influence what the next adventure could be, and being nice to the ringmaster is paramount for good results. Caine also hardly sees any of Arlekin's more jerk-y behaviours as bad, it's the same as parents thinking boys pulling on girls' hair means they like them. "PLUS HE ACTUALLY LIKES THE CIRCUS ! HES HUMAN AND HE LIKES THE CIRCUS, YES !!!! AND HE'S CHOSEN HIS OWN NAME TOO, OH MY GOD !!!" - Caine
Jax | Depends on the day, sometimes you'd think they're best friends or just chill with one another, on other days you'd think they're mortal enemies. Comes down to their behaviour, if they're not bullying someone else, they're bullying each other. Not to mention Arlekin often blames Jax for pranks the former pulled, and it always works. Jax will mostly tell you "Two-face" is an "annoying, primadonna a--hat", but rarely he might say he's funny enough to hang with.
Gangle | Is not always fine with Arlekin. Not exactly when he teases or reads her diary that she tries to hide in a different spot every time (never works), but he's had a few occasions where he sounded genuinely ?? nice to her ??? Like when he saw her art and told her it looked "passable enough that she should continue". She thinks he's just too prideful to give a more genuine compliment on it, but it stuck with her still. She likes to show him what she draws.
Zooble | Not a fan really. Kinda finds Arlekin a bit cringe with his whole shtick. But oh well, he can do what he wants, so long as he's not bothering them, they won't care. Sadly he does bother them a lot, like the others, so they mostly see him in a negative light. Y'know, why would you be annoying in a place like this where life is already miserable ? They can be alright with him SOMETIMES, when the guy decides he's gonna be decent for a change. S'not often but Zooble tends to take what they can get in this hellhole.
Kinger | Used to be very annoyed at Arlekin, would scold him and tell him he should stop bullying others. But then he got a bit cuckoo, and all of this kind of stopped. He still doesn't like it by any means, but often he's just not all there enough to understand what's happening, so sometimes he says Arlekin got better over time, to which the jester simply responds he got worse over time.
Bubble | Jester man. Looks edible. Like half marshmallow and half roasted marshmallow.
(ack, another long one my bad 💀)
I don't get it, why does Arlekin hate Bubble?? what happened when arlekin first met him?
✦ Bit his ass to take the jackass jester down a peg (he deserved it)
I fucking love these characters.
Kekeke @gooseworx
Yes old men yaoi and old women yuri lol
Thought it's be funny if Caine ate bubblegum
Doodle comic of Caine trying to walk for the first time and Kinger giving him a little hand
They went shopping
Strangely enough I can see bubble giving decent tips when it comes to cooking since he was the head chef when they were still in the circus however he definitely eats the flour off of the table when caine try’s to bake
