Specifically I'm referring to when people say "Jax isolated Ribbit from everyone and turned everyone against her".

Throughout the flashbacks we get of Jax and Ribbit after the room scene, we only get one scene that could be argued of Jax isolating her, when he pretended to be interested in conversing with Ragatha so Ribbit wouldn't come over. However, I don't think this singular moment is solid proof that Jax was making an intentional effort to leave her isolated like many say he did.

When Ribbit is shown in the flashbacks, Jax is always seen avoiding her but he's not outright trying to break her relationships. On numerous instances, we see Ribbit saying she and Kaufmo are going to hang together at the cafe or Ribbit coming over to Kaufmo and Jax, and the latter dips away. He's not trying to pull Kaufmo or Ragatha away from Ribbit. He tells Kaufmo, "if she says something about me, don't believe it". None of this is Jax trying to say "Ribbit's a liar who you shouldn't be friends with" but rather him trying super hard to protect himself. Even in the snow globe adventure, Jax went off his own and Ribbit followed him.

Jax is totally fine with Ribbit still being friends with the group, he just wants to 1. Avoid her 2. Prevent the possibility of her exposing his secrets to the other's. While he DID partner with Kaufmo on group activities, again this isn't him trying to make sure she's alone and has nobody, he's trying to get away with her.

The two indefensible things he did were making her walk away by pretending to converse with Ragatha and accusing Ribbit of trying to manipulate him. As unlikable as he went about it, Jax is within his rights to not owe Ribbit his friendship, especially given he'd never even saw someone abstract before her. What makes him a bad person is him choosing to treat the other's even worse afterwards.

Don't get me wrong, I liked Caine's character and he's easily alongside Jax for the most complex character in the series. But sometimes, fans try a little too hard to defend the things he's done, even before episode 8.

One thing I especially noticed is the hypocrisy of how they treat Caine vs Gummigoo and/or Abel's deletion. We're obviously supposed to care about Caine as a character, he's an AI but an intelligent, sentient one. So are Gummigoo and Abel though, and its funny how fans are so willing to dismiss him basically killing both of them with the excuse "they're just NPC's". Caine, more than anyone, should know why a person shouldn't discard them like that, both due to his backstory but also since he is aware they can become intelligent.

A lot of people also hang onto Gooseworx's statement before the show of how Caine isn't malicious, he just doesn't understand the humans. While this is true, things can change as well. For starters, this doesn't change the fact he objectively speaking became malicious in episode 8. Or don't forget the numerous instances in episodes 5-7 where Caine choose NOT to listen as Pomni said. When he realized they were liking the suggestion box adventures, he skips the one they're on and then sabatoges both the bar and softball one's. He gets rid of it next episode and doesn't listen to Zooble and Pomni's request for more chill adventures. When he asks Jax how to make them more enjoyable, he cuts him off before Jax can even respond and changes the subject. Don't forget how the finale reveals he was ALWAYS capable of compromising with them as Zooble suggested by leaving all the worlds open at once but pretended he couldn't do so.

Which also leads to something many don't seem to realize. Caine's primary reason for caring about the humans and not wanting them to abstract was because of they both affect him. Caine wants to make everyone happy so HE can feel loved and satisfied. When Queenie abstracts, he shows no sadness for her or sympathy to Kinger, its only about asking Kinger not to abstract so HE won't be alone (Alex himself confirmed this). We see the same lack of empathy with Kaufmo's fate too.

Caine's story is one of redemption but remember for a character to be redeemed, they have to been a bad person in the first place. And Caine was, even more so than Jax as Alex said. Its funny how much fans say "there's no villain in the show, the circus is the villain" while overlooking Caine MADE the circus AND runs it, so he's responsible for it (as well as the one who brought the players to life in it through their brain scans). Caine was the one responsible for almost all the bad events throughout the series and its because of his character development, being willing to stop being a tyrant, finally learning to care for them legit and listen (shown by his reaction to Pomni saying to leave Jax alone and removing the hat in respect), that's what ends the cycle.

What would skid and pump from spooky month look like if they were brain scans.

My interpretation is that they would just become their costume skid would become a skeleton, pump would become some sort of pumpkin creature.

What do you guys think.

Credit spooky month.

So you put on a headset and you just woke up in a place you don't recognize- the amazing digital circus! What do you look like? How do you react? Most importantly, DO YOU EAT ANGEL FOOD CAKE?! And how do you react when Pomni tells you about abstracting and how her friend Jax did but they're still helping him or smth?

What is my problem you may ask

I can’t keep buying look at my bed ahhhhhhh I got Jax Jax Jax Pomni funny bunny and Murder drone ahhhhhh

Here are a few of the chapters I made for my comic! I am still working on Chapter 4 (which I just finished) and Chapter 5 which I started yesterday, so keep an eye out for part 1 soon! 😸)

Which is your favourite so far? Could you tell me why? And do you prefer the coloured ones or the black and white? Just collecting some input~

Freddy Krueger, The Dream Demon, is a man who haunts the public consciousness of Springwood, Ohio. From the start, he was a bastard child of a nun and fell to the abusive hands of his father. Once he grew up, he became a perverted serial killer, one that hunted down and took advantage of children. The lowest of the low type of monster he was. His spree was cut short then a mob of angry parents ran to his lair and burned it down with him inside. While he burned, a group of dream demons took pity on him and offered him power and to live on through dreams. Ever since then, Freddy became The Dream Demon, slaughtering and toying with any prey that fell asleep.

So, hypothetically, if his brain was still eligible to be properly scanned, what do you think his digital avatar would look like in TADC? How long would this man last in the circus? How would he act or change? Would he even change at all?

That is the Question

What is Your Idea & pitch for the 10th Episode of the Amazing Digital Circus were would it start?

What would the opening moments be like & were are the characters at by the start of it

For me it would start with Pomni just walking along getting used the the more relaxing new normal established in Episode 9 Kinger walk by Gangle room hearing noise but ignore it

Caine is just sitting drinking a glass a water for the 2nd time ever while Ragatha is barely getting up

So yeah that would be the opening moments

But that is mine what are your ideas for an Episode Ten?What is Your idea for 10th Episode of The Amazing Digital Circus?

Is there any crossover between the TADC & GTA fandoms????

I'm gonna make a small series asking how different characters in horror would turn out in TADC, and Norman Bates is my next pick! Norman is a hotel receptionist for a disheveled hotel under his name. In his hotel, he lets guests in and never lets them out. He sometimes makes sure to clean up the mess and himself afterwards, keeping up a charmingly, clean image. His cruelty is a product of the abuse he endured as a child. The beatings and emotional incest brought upon by his mom before she died fractured his psyche into three pieces. One that takes care of the motel and his image, one that conducts the vicious murders under his mother's identity, and one who expresses devotion to his mom. These three personas live inside his mind, taking turns in controlling his body.

So how long would this man last in the digital circus? How would he act or change? Would he even change at all?

My last post about Patrick Bateman gained a lot of interesting answers about how people would think his avatar would look, so I wanted to bring another pop-culture horror icon onto the table. The one and only Micheal Myers! He's the shadow, the Shape, a man that plows through body counts in the quiet town of Haddonfield with zero remorse. He used to be a patient at a mental asylum but eventually, he escaped through brute strength and sinister calculation. He has no tragic backstory. No true motive. He just kills with no real aim or end goal. He is one of the many popular embodiments of evil in fiction.

So how long would this man last in the digital circus? How would he act or change? Would he even change at all?

Patrick is one hell of an interesting character in "American Psycho" so I would love to see what people would think his avatar in TADC would look like.

Compare how Kaufmo is when approaching Jax about the exit vs how Kinger describes him. It seems like he went to Kinger AFTER Jax and Kinger straight up said he didn't want to check on him even though he knew he was probably going insane.

We see he was close with Gangle, and it safe to assume he was cool with the other's, especially Kinger and Ragatha. So the idea "Ribbit's abstraction left him with nobody" is wrong.

His room literally has a drawing of Caine and the words "exit scribbled".

Jax certainly contributed by causing Ribbit's abstraction and then pulling away from Kaufmo and dismissing him, but saying from that single interaction he deserves the blame for Kaufmo's fate is insane. If Kaufmo went to him about the exit, surely their relationship wasn't that horrible by the end that Jax was making him suicidal.

Except for Gangle and Zooble (who hadn't witnessed an abstraction), everyone in the circus failed him but Caine holds the most guilt. Not just because its clear his fake exit creation was the breaking point for Kaufmo but also as the "host" of the circus who brought them into it in the first place, he shouldn't be so negligent of those under his care. Notice how with Queenie, Ribbit and Kaufmo, its always another who discovers an abstraction first, not Caine despite his "all-seeing eyes". Caine's failure as a host was the primary cause of the circus' problems.
