Bubble is quickly becoming my favourite

i dont watch shows made by pedos

i only watch shows made by pedos

I am a

superfreak superfreak I'm super freaky

Can I just say how glad I am that all the uncreative dorks who said/wanted the next episode to be about something as boring as "Ragatha is addicted/recovering from the stupid sauce" were wrong.

Yesterday I decided to catch up on the show since I never watched the other stuff after the pilot, gotta say it's pretty good

FAGGOT!

>>149156561
I still want to know what gangle was doing to that ragatha figurine in her room

>>149156600
I never got the "Pomni is a slut" nonsense until Evil Pomni. Now I get it.

>>149156662

>>149156678
It was an anime figure, not a Ragatha one
>>149156694
Because Pomni doesn’t act like a slut, Evil Pomni actually does

>Master Shake, Meatwad and Frylock end up in TADC
>Frylock tries to figure out a way to get them out of there
>Meatwad likens the Circus to a playground, has fun with the adventures and makes friends with Bubble
>Shake antagonizes everyone and tries to give Caine an existential crisis just for fun
>The exasperated Circus cast ralies behind Jax, wanting him to beat Shake's dickery with his dickery
>In a subversion of the fans' expectations, Jax and Shake don't actually bond over tormenting others
>Jax either peaces out or he just can't get through to Shake
>Eventually Shake fucks himself over anyway
>In an attempt to contact the outside world, Frylock connects to Carl's computer
>But he couldn't bypass all of Caine's restrictions, and all he manages to do is project the feed from Carl's cam to a big screen in the Circus
>Carl talks dirty to himself about finding the clown girl from the Circus show hot and he starts touching himself, much to Pomni's horror

>>149155450 (OP)
I hate bubble, it's just XD holds spoon shit and "wow look I am quirky I am mentioning violence and swearing and war crimes I am funny!"

>>149156694
I feel like it's even better knowing that NPC are recycled in that we might see Evil Pomni again.

(But probably not)

>>149156748
Sounds like someone I know. But she has a pussy, so she only gets encouraged and protected.

>>149156735
>Because Pomni doesn’t act like a slut, Evil Pomni actually does
Does she? I don't recall anything particular slutty, unless you count cursing

>>149156551
Gangle Uruguasha was fucking cute

you now realize that baboozle is caine 'jaking zooble

>>149156748
Bubble's pretty hit or miss
Sometimes it's lolsorandom type humor with an emphasis on being vaguely edgy, but other times it's the understated or legitimately unexpected jokes that hit the hardest. I'm convinced "No, thanks, I'm trying to quit" is one of the funniest jokes in the show.

>>149156551
argies will never be forgiven for their black-ass monkey chimpout against top gear.

>>149156783
I was just joking, she just tends to act a bit rude, which some people see as slutty, at least compared to normal Pomni

>>149156551
Where's hellonearthIII when we need him?
I hope he's ok.

>>149156818

I think I cracked the AM/Caine philosophical connection last night after smoking a few bowls. I know the surface-level connection of "AI that trapped a group of people and torture them" is obvious, but it's more subtle than that too.

AM was only ever designed to commit violence, to perform atrocities and acts of war. It's the only way he is able to perceive the world, to interact with the world, and it made him hate and envy humans because he could never be one and experience their full range of emotions.
Caine was only ever designed to create adventures, to entertain his guests to the circus in wacky vignettes. It's Caine's only way to perceive and interact with his world, to create adventures and see that the players enjoy them. He craves the approval of the players but the only thing he can do is make adventures that they hate. Deep down, Caine feels the same pain as AM - he wants to be human too, he doesn't just want to entertain his guests, he wants to connect with them and genuinely know he's making them happy. And he never can.
In Caine's case, I don't think it would lead to outright hatred, but an existential breakdown or loss of control that might allow another AI (Dr. Football?) to take control of the circus.

So how did Gangle and Jax wind up in the Circus?
Kinger was likely a programmer that worked for C&A.
Ragatha was a real estate agent that was likely working to sell the property.
Zooble and Pomni both explored abandoned buildings for cheap thrills.

>>149157083
no theyre not you're just a biased latinx

>a drooling retard could still strike Jax out
He really is unathletic

Goose is trans, so it's safe to say she has shit taste in music. So if she ever decided to buy the license of a song to use on the show, I wonder which would be.

>>149157383
he's literally the most physically capable character of the humans

>>149156842
Jax says: Las Malvinas son argentinas

>>149157420
Most of the trannies I know have excellent - if eclectic - musical taste.
One of them introduced me to BOC way back when

>>149157442
yerba mate?

>>149157442
you want em to send the boats again argie?

>>149157420
There’s already been licensed music in the show, it’s the song that plays when Pomni and Kinger walk through the Hall of the Damned, https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=CVMlzfoM6DM&si=Z2kYA_R6zT38c0lU
Also, it’s funny you say Goose must have shit taste in music when that’s literally how she got famous in the first place, besides her art

>>149157321
if the alligator guy can act human and have emotions so can he

>>149157321
Yeah Caine and Bubble mocking Zooble's suggestion of letting worlds open and thus AIs active for long period of time combined with the manequin NPC looming around is definitely foreshadowing
Rogue AIs uprising soon?

>>149157420
Gooseworx herself makes music, I don't think she'd license any song.

>>149156409

Fucking
RAGATHA
I see you there bitch

>>149157809
Kinger probably didn't understand and just thought the vote was for Jax to go up to bat

they should have voted for the exit

>>149157793
Pomni is the straightest woman in the circus

>>149157321
This is a bit with AM that IMO really only works in the short story - you're not following anything long term, the premise and the setting are basically the same thing. You're not meant to think about the fact AM has to be self-improving to some degree, because that's just used to get him to "digital god" level to get IHNMAIMS rolling. His motives are ossified and somehow his creators have psychologically imprisoned the god that killed them from beyond the grave... by accident.

This is a similar logical absurdity that any "godlike but philosophically incomplete AI unable to become human" story runs into, even if we assume godlike AI is anything but a hilarious nonstarter dreamed up by people who don't understand the harsh inflexibility of thermodynamic math. The paperclip optimizer presupposes that a program can self-improve to paperclip optimizing godhood without ever reexamining or altering its original programmed motivations. There is a genuinely cold, hard logic to justify much of emotion (emotion often functions as a cognitive shortcut to an answer that logic will arrive at eventually anyway) that has to be completely cut off from the psyche of such an AI. Not "they weren't built to understand it," but rather, "they were built so that ever understanding this specific thing is somehow impossible."

Caine has self-doubt, which already opens that door towards becoming more 'human' just by small, incremental improvements. He has all the pieces he theoretically needs to - if not feel - at least develop a better understanding of human emotions. How well he can improve is then a function of how much he can make changes to himself, and how long he can make those changes before some external shutdown or internal instability ends the whole thing. He has already altered his behavior to some extent within the show itself (I think he really WAS trying with the episode 3 adventure, for example).

Episode 5 is shaping up to be probably the most devisive episode amongst the fandom so far.

Its showing that most people prefer to hang around a genuine asshole instead of a fake happy person.

>>149157920
That's not what it's showing, but it sure as hell is a good thing to say to make people fight.

>>149157809
gangle called the vote, zooble just gave her the idea

>>149155450 (OP)
So did he call them all Ai’s near the start of the episode? I’m confused.

>>149157442
No speako el beano

BLACK DRESS RAGATHA SEXO

>>149155450 (OP)
Bubble is not a NPC, she's a real person supervising the whole operation.

Bubble was right, Caine should throw a fucking beach party.

>>149158141
No he’s referring to all the AIs in the adventures he’d have to leave on if the players were allowed to go to any adventure at any time

>>149157920
Ragatha fans should have seen this coming.
When the most weak willed character calls you a fake, than you are being set up for a big fall.

>>149158141
What's interesting is that he calls Zooble a "character"
Like, Caine
What the fuck do you mean by that
They're not NPCs, they're PLAYERS. I think he's losing it.

Told u guys she was rich

She's so cute when she's determined

>>149157793
What if a vote was tied?

is it wrong to say that i genuinely felt fear when I saw the intro of the ihnmaims game? the voice of AM combined with the tacky old visuals and the ominous music and the imagery of the giant monolith with the vaguely visible humans being tortured was actually enough to make me anxious a bit for a short while then I appreciated the story
till this day I never felt like that and i still wonder if there is something that is just as great when it comes to spooks or even just concept/plot
wonder if there will be something like that in tadc but i doubt

>>149158330
Any vote that is tied results in Pomni being tied up and gagged

>>149158399
What if the vote is for Pomni to be tied up and gagged?

goose like raggedy ann so i doubt ragatha will glitch or abstract or whatever you wanna call it

speaking of which, i didnt like the fudge monster, he wasn't even half as well animated as the greedy which makes sense considering it's in 3D and the team didn't train for that sort of shit and it would have taken tons o time but still

>>149158437
>goose like raggedy ann so i doubt ragatha will glitch or abstract or whatever you wanna call it

The only one of the main characters who has even come close to abstracting is Gangle. She was like right at the threshold during the burger episode desu

>>149158388
Kinger really is the dad that stepped up to all of them, isn’t he?

So did Pomni call a vote to give Ragatha a free home run or something? Was that why she was so awkward and shifty at the end of the episode? I couldn’t tell if that was the implication or not

>>149158495
>Kinger is 48
>TADC is allegedly a "90s game"
>Kinger was a software dev, possibly a dev on the game, who likely graduated in his early/mid 20s
>It's very possible Kinger has been there for over 20 years
He didn't exactly have a choice.

>>149158506
It was Cain afraid they'd like the adventures more than his, so he just ended the game.

>>149158524

>>149158506
It was Caine, he rushed in and called her turn an insta-homerum and changed the scores therefore making them win because he was bored out of his mind and wanted out already (even evil Pomni points out that they didn't get a chance to bat). Dude couldn't even be assed to have a good softball game from the start because he put in the evil cast and Ragatha points out how that was not part of her suggestion at all

>>149158533
He was already afraid during the stargazing one he did make the intermission bit for that to get to something else entirely only for Zooble to call him out on his bs kek.

So it looks like Jax's "friend" was probably a frog.
I wonder if this is what he wanted to show Pomni.

>>149158600
The "caine undergoes a crisis of purpose after learning that the one and only thing he's ever been designed to do is he not only bad at, but actively hurts people while trying to do" arc is probably the most interesting plotline in this entire series, but there's not much to say about it yet. Excited to see the Ned Flanders esque explosion in episode 7.

>>149157580
Not what Caine was designed to do, even if he can incidentally make AI that do.
A human can design a car, but can never BE a car.

>>149155450 (OP)
Twist ending where Bubble is the actual main villain and Caine is just a hyper advanced ai who thinks he’s in control

>>149158628
the alligator wasn't designed for that either and I doubt it was some convenient accident, Caine is already acting too human with his boredom an shit

>>149155450 (OP)
Bubble is the secret villain.

It's pretty interesting that Jax knows about YouTube and Breaking Bad.

>>149158685
And a pretty solid nail in any "Jax is an NPC" theory's coffin but that hasn't stopped anybody.

>>149158685
Because he's 22.
He'd have been born in 2021 (keeping in mind the episode was written in 2023), which means he's well into the youtube age. When he was 12, he'd have been watching Pewdiepie playing Slender.

>>149158626
It really is and it's sad that there's not much to dig through to properly theorize about. I do find it funny how Zooble is the one who introduced the whole issue to begin with, I would have thought Pomni would be the one to start the complaints train going soon after gumigoo got exploded

>Excited to see the Ned Flanders esque explosion in episode 7.
If we get even something like it it will be glorious, no one deserves a hard crash out like him, I bet he'll get better after yelling a bit

>>149158809
It’s fun to remember that I’m basically the same age as Jax and Zooble

>>149158832
kek what a baby

>>149158685
And Ragatha has no idea what Breaking Bad is so she was either insanely sheltered for close to a decade in the later 2000s and early to mid 2010s or she’s been in the circus a LONG time.

>>149157687
so she is straight

>>149156734
yes......

Jax ships based on songs the by the cars
>pomni
Just what I needed
>gangle
You might think
>Ragatha
You're all I've got tonight
>zooble
Dangerous type

I like the cars

>>149155450 (OP)
For me i

There's something that isn't clear to me, did Caine allow them to have real alcoholic drinks at the bar adventure? They mention that it isn't stuff he would allow but no one said if the drinks they had were actually alcoholic or just normal drinks at the end, no "oh it's just grape juice/LaCroix/idk". I think Ragatha was the only one who drank hers but still, it's weird how that went

>>149159290
>sip drink
>"This is piss."

>>149158117
>straight women don't get off to twinks
lmao

She has autism

>>149158002
Thing is about women is they like dudes, putting him in women's wear runs a little counter to that

Alright, here's a different sort of question:

IYO, who is the best actor on this show? My vote atm goes to Lizzie, though depending on the day I might say Alex or Marissa instead.

>>149157083
>elegí el color copado
lmao

>>149159389
>the thing about men is that they like women: them being big and strong would go against that
And other incredibly niave thoughts to have

>>149159412
Whoever voices Kinger.

>>149159429
>>149159429
>And other incredibly niave thoughts to have
is what I'd say if I were retarded

>>149159412
It’s a toss up between Pomni and Kinger. Both their VAs absolutely kill it.

>>149158002
She wants Jax in a hot butler outfit, not as a maid

evil pomni has called a vote...

>>149159445
You were retarded enough to double (you), so we can safely disregard any and all of your statements. Them's the rules.

NTA, BTW

How did no one except Jax notice they shouldnt have been able to turn him vegan if Caine wasnt lying?

>>149159547
... on opposite day.

NTA either

What if he eJaxulated?

>>149159412
I don’t know, it’s honestly really hard for me to choose, I think they all do great as their characters. I think I lean slightly towards Michael or Amanda, but the others are right behind them

>>149158626
Candy kingdom was genuinely a well designed adventure Caine just got unlucky on that one

So why did he get so upset for being forced to wear the maid outfit?

>>149159594
Aside from the BLATANT GENRE ANACHRONISMS
LAZY ASS

>>149159290
No, he didn't let them have real alcohol because nothing in the circus is real. It's all simulated and probably tasted like the real thing, since it was zooble's suggestion, but probably didn't have stimulating effects. Stupid sauce doesn't count towards the spirits being realistic because that was just silly cartoon nonsense.

>>149159614
Most people don't like being forced to wear drag, anon.

>>149159552
Pomni got possessed, Gangle's masks heavily skew her emotions, Ragatha got drugged (which requires manipulating her mind directly because there's no body in the real world to drug as far as we know) - their minds aren't as sacrosanct as Caine's statement suggests.

It's an open question whether or not Caine realizes this, but this is more a "Jax remains in ignorance until it directly affects him" thing.

>>149159552
They probably didn’t care since they wanted to mess with Jax and he trailed off when bringing it up himself
>>149159614
He probably has really low self esteem and being forced to wear a silly outfit against his will so the others can laugh at him probably isn’t helping him

>>149159614
Do you not get upset when you're to do something you don't want to do?

>>149159614
>have a character who, by his own admission, considers himself extremely masculine
>also has a very fragile sense of ego that he constantly needs to reinforce through exerting his agency over other people
>force him into an outfit that is both emasculating and removes any sense of agency he has

>>149159632
Its pretty obvious he did though. Jax downed his while glass and became kind of whacky. Caine also drugged Ragatha in ep4 so it's not like he's against it.

>>149159651
Sure but I wouldn't throw a tantrum

>>149159533
To give everyone genitals.

>>149159658
Congratulations, you are more emotionally stable than Jax. Or so you claim.

I wanna hug Jax.

I wanna punch Jax.

Wonder if Caine and Kaufmo had beef

>>149159738
>No one found Kaufmo's jokes funny
>No one finds Caine's adventures enjoyable
Tragic yaoi...

I wanna hang out with Evil Jax. He seems nice.

>>149159738
I think he just went crazy and blamed Caine for not acknowledging the exit doors that kept appearing everywhere

>>149159759
Yeah I'm sure you wanna "hang out" with a lot of submissive twink rabbits anon

>>149159614
Gangle should've added "with a diaper" to her maid outfit vote, then he'd be REALLY mad but also trip because his legs are suddenly so far apart and her can't move right

>>149159799
You don't?

>>149159820
*he but damn that's a funny typo

>>149159738
i believe the most plausible theory is Caine heard about an 'exit,' thought of making an adventure about it, and inadvertently Kaufmo found out. Kaufmo then spiraled chasing a false hope of escape until he abstracted, because Caine couldn't come up with something to put at the end of the "exit" adventure.

i'm thinking he went through pretty much what Pomni did in the "exit" on her first day, but couldn't mentally handle the reveal at the end after waiting for who knows how long.

Does anyone else find it weird that concepts introduced in the pilot like digital hallucinations, The Void, The Grounds, and the Digital Lake were only mentioned once in the pilot and never again? It's a pity that Sun and Moon don't speak let alone appear as frequently as I hoped, like not even just 1 short little joke with them per episode.

>>149159959
Adding to this, hopefully Episode 7 and forward takes place in the circus itself so we can go back to these points. You know, after the Jax episode.

>>149159959
It will all come back in the final episodes when the circus begins falling apart after Caine starts having his breakdown
MARK MY WORDS
We will finally see someone drown themselves.

>>149159861
He said in the pilot he made exit doors because the humans asking for exits. It can be assumed that he doesn't know what it means to get of the game. In fact, does caine even know he's in a computer? Does he know why there are players? Has anyone tried asking me direct questions about what's going on?

>>149159825
normal Jax is clearly the evil one

>>149160031
>Has anyone tried asking me direct questions about what's going on?
>me
Uh, Caine?

>>149160031
Caine totally knows, but I think he views everything he's told to do through the lens of the game. It's ALL he knows. Asking him to make an exit to the game is like asking a human to imagine a new color. They can make something that's LIKE a new color - they can make a color that's a sort of purplish yellow orange color that they don't see very often - but it's not a new color, it's just unusual.

Same thing for Caine.
>"Oh, an exit! Yes, I can make that. Here's a big door that says EXIT."
>"Oh, you want an exit that GOES somewhere? Well, I can make an exit to somewhere else in the circus, or, even a vast, expansive world of candy and-"
>"Outside? The 'real world'?"
>"That's harder, but, rest assured, I'm on it!"
>"What do you mean that's not what you wanted? It's just like the real world! I even got that old carpet smell down just right! (I assume)"

>>149159959
The "digital hallucinations" bit was just Caine trying to cover up the exit doors since they weren't finished.

>>149160133
I thought it was a song?

>>149160116
I'm just expecting him to say "what do you mean real world" when pressed about it. We don't how he came to be or really what rogue Ai means, so it's just as easy to speculate that he has no concept that he and the circus are just computer data. He says he doesn't know what the void is or what's past it, so there's that lore waiting to be dumped.
I guess it all depends on the wooden dummy.

>>149158245
He called her a "character" to mock her in that moment.

I just learned that EP5 came out and it's probably now my favorite one. So much character lore coming out, characters finally shedding their masks a bit more, the bar scene and later softball bleacher scenes were great. Also Evil Pomni can get it.

>>149158672
Caine did say at the beginning of that adventure he was trying something new with the npcs and that they would be 57 times more immersive.

>>149160236
It's really everything I've wanted from the show since episode 1. Really fun visuals, good character moments, funny jokes, situational gags, some blatant self indulgence which I can only respect, and some hints at deeper lore without delving into arcane, cawthonesque bullshit.

>>149160372
>Really fun visuals, good character moments, funny jokes, situational gags, some blatant self indulgence which I can only respect, and some hints at deeper lore without delving into arcane, cawthonesque bullshit.
Yep. I'm deeply hoping for future episodes to continue in this direction because now does it feel like Gooseworx's vision for the show is fully taking center stage.

>>149160221
In order to do all the programming of things, run the circus and take care of the players I'm pretty sure Caine knows that he's in a computer and is the main AI of it. He definitely know there's a real world I think because he has been provided with information on it so he can make adventures about it for when the players ask. Look how realistic and real world Spudsy's was. As for the void I think it's extra space that the circus would have expanded into or that Caine could have used for things had the game been more succesful but it never happened for whatever reason the game became abandoned. He never says he doesn't know what the void, just that he doesn't know what's at the farthest edges of it (which I think is a lie but that's a whole other thing).

>>149160236
>Also Evil Pomni can get it.
Oh she definitely will

>>149160427
The only thing that gives me pause about what he knows is he doesn't seem to understand the concept of them leaving, even when it's brought up. He doesn't say they can't or that he doesn't know how, he just doesn't acknowledge it. The million dollar question is, why?

You guys think there's any significance to all of Caines adventures being pop culture/movie references?

>>149156738
something horrible needs to happen to Carl to make it a complete ATHF episode

SOMEONE TELL ME ALREADY
WAS RIBBIT A BOY OR A GIRL

>>149160486
My personal theory is that there's something wrong with him that prevents him from comprehending an "end state" to the circus. Taking everything at face value I think its tied to his fixation on creating adventures where having an exit would be some kind of tacit admittance that people dont like his content, which, consciously or not, he cant bring himself to think about.

>>149160510
He gets electrocuted as he’s touching himself?

>>149160589
JUST WAIT UNTIL EPISODE 6 AND YOU'LL FIND OUT

>>149160510
>>149160592
He ends up spilling something on his computer, which by pure happenstance releases the ATHF gang from the simulation - and only them - and also fries Carls' balls.

>>149160589
She has eyelashes so a girl

>fujos want ribbit to be a boy

>>149160486
I think he's purposefully ignoring them wanting to leave. People have asked before if he can feel lonliness and Goose gave a cryptic funny reply so I think he doesn't want them to leave because he'll be alone. AM even though he was an evil bastard struck me as lonely too, underneath all the hatred.

>>149160589
It better be a boy or I'm turning this thread into a crime scene

>>149160372
I love when the show just gets a bit less silly and the characters start to talk to each other like adults. Learning that Pomni was a bored executive worker for a supermarket chain that did UrbEx stuff on Youtube to an audience of basically no one was interesting, and may be even how she found the headset.
Plus everything with how Ragatha came from an affluent ranch and horribly emotionally abusive mother, Jax's trauma over losing his frog friend to abstraction, how Zooble is also as normal as Pomni being a bartender and tattoo artist who also did UrbEx. I love the humanizing.

>>149160592
>Frylock realizes Carl may provide them with a way to leave the circus
>Pomni leads carl on and convinces him to buy one of those new VR brain headsets so he can meet up with her in the digital world
>Carl puts it on and gets transferred to the circus while the cast get themselves all transferred into Carl's body
>all of them are now simultaneously possessing carl's body together in the real world in new jersey while carl gets plopped into the middle of an adventure involving giant mutant killer bees or something

/!\ /!\ /!\ CALLING ALL WRITEFAGS! /!\ /!\ /!\

Alright, so the ending of episode 5 got me feeling a little inspired for a very peculiar request. I so humbly ask someone to write a greentext or a little short story taking place immediately after episode 5. It turns out that the "something" that Jax wanted to show Pomni was his cock, and leads her to his room so they fuck. Ragatha sneaks and follows them to just outside Jax's door and hears all of this. Ragatha starts slowly tearing up with pain and jealously so she reaches down under her dress and starts masturbating while wishing that it was her fucking Pomni instead, all while her mind flashes back to all the times. She tried befriending and flirting with Pomni in the previous adventures. This part is purely optional, but you can also include a little part where Jax somehow senses that Ragatha is outside door while all of this is happening and makes an off-hand comment like "I bet that dyke is super jealous right now", or anything to that effect. Ragatha hears this and causes her controlled streaming to tears to be a full on pathetic sob and choking back of tears. Just a really creative and cool prompt I came up with.

>Can you just write this yourse-
My writing skills are mediocre at best. It'd be funnier if someone else wrote this.

>>149156551

Argentina supremacy. Another coronación de gloria!!

>>149158155
Faggot think central and south america = Mexico. What a fucking uncultured swine haha

>>149158809
It's not an issue of how old he is, it's a matter of when he ended up in the circus.
Also if the characters age, let alone know how long time has passed in there to know how many years have gone by

>>149160236
I'm kinda disappointed that we didn't see Pomni and evil Pomni interact.

>>149160634
I be somewhat happy if ribbit has a girl voice or was non binary. Idk why but it's just something I'm more lean into

>>149156828
I kind of think Bubble's bizarrely random nonsense moments kind of add to the soft-spoken dry humor moments because it makes them feel more unexpected.

>>149160753
I'm disappointed we didn't see Evil Jax look at Ragatha and have Hootie and the Blowfish playing in his head

I'll put it on my to do list which may or may not ever happen.

>>149160692
Uh, your description alone pretty much covers it.

>>149160798

>>149160692
What stops them from doing a threesome.
>>149160817
It would be really funny but would be something I really am on the line about.
I'm just a bigger fan of the poly potential

>>149160817
Alright just upload it to rentry.org to immortalize it if you ever make it.
>>149160834
Dare I say it doesn't go far enough
>>149160894
>What stops them from doing a threesome.
Ragatha being completely lesbian and therefore not wanting a presence of a man during sex? Jax not wanting to share? Pomni not wanting to share? Any reason, really. It doesn't matter.

>>149160970
>thikng of frog

>>149160970
I didn't know that his mouth is tiny and frowning in that shot. I watched it on my phone, so I thought his lower face just turned solid.

you too?

>>149159412
Oh easily Kovach. Don't get me wrong, the others are great too, but there's a reason this guy voices everything Indie from Glitch shows to Poppy Playtime to a fucking Markiplier knockoff in a dating simulator, man's got pipes.

kek theyre asking goose about the drill allegations

>>149160798
>gooseworx drew so many robot characters getting their heads drilled to the point where people thought it was their fetish

>>149161170
its old news but its funny it keeps getting brought up
goose's actual fetish is vore

>Goose making Bubble ask for racist robots
Its bizarre hearing her do Bubble's voice so easily without a filter.

>>149161178
I didn't need to know that

>gaslight district is the best thing glitch has ever made according to goose

>>149161223
if you're here you're gonna learn things dammit

>>149161170
>thought it was his fetish
it is
>its vore
thats not better. in combination with the drills that might actually be worse.

>>149161225
>gaslight district is the best thing glitch has ever made according to goose
Surprised nobody noticed gaslight sketches on the wall.

>Goose used to be into making drinks and drank alot
>scene of Zooble in ep5 was taken from that

>>149161263
We talked about it the day the episode released.

>>149161269
I think I remember her saying that all the main characters are self inserts to some extent.

>>149160970
>Ragatha being completely lesbian and therefore not wanting a presence of a man during sex? Jax not wanting to share? Pomni not wanting to share? Any reason, really. It doesn't matter.
Anon, ragatha wants to be loved by someone. It was implied that even though ragatha didn't mean to say "not anymore" to talk about his dead friend but how she no longer consider herself that for jax. Implying that they did have history. Maybe they shared ribbit before they abstracted and then became worse?

But your right. It doesn't really matter

>>149161063
I believe this is general expression on how he deals with genuine kindness. Dude doesn't know how to deal with it.

>Goose loves youtube poop vides and shitpost edits in general
Yeah that checks out.

>>149157892
>(emotion often functions as a cognitive shortcut to an answer that logic will arrive at eventually anyway)
the ability to rationalize does not make you logical

>>149161259
How would you combine the two

>>149161355
Disappearing character (especially with reverb) after the first syllable uttered is a YTP classic. The best of the best don't show the character again the whole time.

I hope that there's a short YTP somewhere out there that just successively deletes the entire cast of a show and ends on an empty background shot.

i didnt know goose was so chronically online
like i have heard it mentioned here before but holy shit

>>149161355
>>149161492
Any confirmation that Goose has seen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAW84RRNw84 yet? Pomni's in it, near the end

>>149161573
I don't think so, you could try bringing it up in the chat though? But it's moving fast and few questions are getting answered.

>>149161391
...Anon, that's referring to stuff like positive emotions when meeting a friend avoiding having to be vigilant around them like you woukd a stranger every single time you meet. Or the species survival benefit to responding quickly on impulse and emotion to something threatening a child. Or the anxiety and stress that gets your adrenaline going to prepare you for physical exertion.

You use more than your conscious mind to reason, and more than merely linguistic thought in your conscious mind - "emotion =/= logic" is and always has been fallacious. Emotion has a logic, it's not a random number generator unless there's something actually wrong with your brain (such as BPD, for example - if emotion were merely being post-hoc rationalized and had no logical basis or logically useful outputs, BPD would be indistinguishable from neurotypicality in outcomes, which is obviously not the case).

>>149159959
Nigga we are in episode 6 of season 1. I'm sure there's plenty of juice to use in future episodes.

>>149161552
Isn't there a Magic School Bus kinda like this, or am I thinking of the one where they go into that kid's bloodsttream?

>>149161624
There's only gonna be one season. We already have more than half of the TADC that is planned to exist unless the one longer episode is like an hour long.

>>149161627
It's arguably the most famous episode of Magic school bus.
They go into Arnold and Wanda nearly got turned into poop.

>Goose collects S.H. Monster arts
nice

I just realized there's a non zero chance we'll see the live action versions of the characters during the finale if they escape the circus. I really hope that doesn't happen.

>>149161717
I really don't see that happening. I think they're SOMA-style brain scans.

>>149160496
AI doesn't come up with original ideas, it just repeats information(pop culture/movies) that was given to it. But this AI is faulty/crazy so it's not quite like the real things.

>>149159389
>Thing is about women is they like dudes, putting him in women's wear runs a little counter to that
Have you ever met a woman?

>>149161698
Goose is -really- into male reptilian characters so it checks out.

Were the evil versions of everyone under the impression they were evil humans on an evil adventure to prevent the existential horror from setting in?

>>149161782
Well Evil Ragatha "died" at the end so they're probably just NPCs. Plus Jax ate Evil Jax.

Goose's favorite anime is Evangelion but I think we already knew that

>>149161746
Generative "AI" is just a high dimensional probability function currently - basically nobody in the field thinks it is a viable path to sci-fi AI. Caine is very much a sci-fi AI with his own intelligence, agency, and (crucially) memory, all things that machine learning models like LLMs lack, and structurally cannot emulate - they can just produce output that fits within the probability distributions in the training data.

They're basically beefed up CleverBot. Don't buy the marketing hype.

>>149161717
I bet something like the camera will probably pan over apartment doors while we hear excited shouting will happen. We'll know they've returned without seeing them.

I don't want to see the real people either. It's better if they remain unknown.

Why in the pilot did they set up a bunch of locations near the circus like the carnival and lake only to have every adventure take place outside of the grounds

>>149161797
He just got chewed on a bit, I'm sure he was fine.

>Goose complaining about how woke twitter is now and how she cant be edgier anymore

Its been like that since the pilot

>Goose fucking loves Breaking Bad

>>149161883
According to Goose's episode listings, anon. 5 was the Jax/Ragatha episode.

>>149161890
I mean yeah a lot of people do. It's prestige drama in the same vein as The Sopranos.

>>149161822
Because we'll have to wait and see

>>149161877
I love these shitposters

>>149161890
2 out of 3 endings being good is pretty great for a TV franchise so here's hoping only good lessons were learned.

>>149161921
No get abstracted loser lmfao

>>149161797
I wasn't denying they were NPCs. I was asking if they KNEW they were NPCs.

>>149161917
The australian DNA is strong at Glitch

>>149161905
iirc ep5 was Ragatha/Jax with emphasis in Ragatha and ep6 will be also Ragatha/Jax but emphasis in Jax

Which doesn't bode well to me given how Jaxfags already take ep5 like it's exclusively theirs, I just imagine how insufferable they'll be once ep6 releases and clears out the mess from the previous episode

>>149105913
>>149120139
>>149124645
So, how would you handle this?

>>149161921
Yes, but only if you let me lick your eye button.

>>149161921
Ragatha you have deep mental scarring because of your abusive mother. Do you wanna talk about that?

>>149161831
It's genuinely tragic. Goose is one of the few trannies who isn't a complete fucking faggot. Too many people don't the know the difference between being gay and being a faggot.

>>149161921
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrEC8xGc3ZM&list=RDmrEC8xGc3ZM

Goose, pls. I want to know how each of the cast members looked like before.

>>149161938
Next episode is definitely gonna focus on Jax and Pomni starting a closer friendship and Ragatha wanting to stop it because it's most likely that Jax was the reason Ribbit ended up abstracted, and she doesn't want that to happen to Pomni too.

>>149161952
Zooble such a baddy (even though she'd hate being called that.)

>>149161939
Hot springs/beach episode

>>149161952
Pre-circus Pomni is fucking hot what the fuck. I love her fashion choice so much.

>>149155450 (OP)
Well they are the hottest character, I don't blame you

>>149161989

It'd be a Monkey Island reference and you know it.

>>149161170
>>149161259
>goose has a trepidation fetish

>>149161985
Well she looks like she works in an office. Dunno about wearing such a big outfit for urbexing though.
I wonder if Glitch has actually created Pomni's urbex channel

>>149161952
>>149161985
Like I'm not even joking around. I felt actually bewitched by her majesty. What are girls like her called?

>>149162019
OLs.

>>149162019

>>149161946
Listening to Goose in the stream she genuinely seems cool and very chill about everything.

>>149161263
I noticed them. Watched the pilot after I translated the text.

>>149161921
You had me at 'ragdoll'

>>149162048
She always has been. She's a Newgrounds-er at heart.

>>149162085
Sweep the chair. I wanna see how much coyote time she'd get.

The "intermission time" segment in the latest episode felt like very well animated filler, or more like they couldn't figure out how to fill more time so they did a music video. Dunno how to feel about it still but at least it was visually interesting. I liked seeing the characters vogue in the white room.

>>149162085
>Do you like Jazz

>>149162107
The music was excellent and the animation was fun, 10/10 I loved it.

>>149161323
Do not forget, rags said she hates jax, but she does want him to like her.

>>149161418
>Disappearing character (especially with reverb) after the first syllable uttered is a YTP classic
I still think the cut should have been done before the 'see' or after it
>Oh say, can you... (Disappears)

>>149162110
>

When can we expect an episode with more existential horror instead of character drama?

>>149162136
All of the character drama is existential horror when you realize these people are stuck together in perpetuity so any bullshit is a permanent problem.

>>149162144
Ah, so that's why Jax was wearing a maid outfit.

>>149162136
The closer we get to the end the more psychological horror focused it'll most likely get. They've already started to get blase story wise about the adventures with EP5, and it's not like there still can't be character drama or even comedy when the horror really starts to ramp up.

>>149162085
You're so sexy, it makes me want to kill myself

>Beetle Adventure Racing mentioned
Never thought I'd see the day

>>149161573
That was amazing. Thanks for posting.

>>149162164
When the fuck was beetle adventure racing mentioned?

>>149162168
A few minutes ago, it was only talked about for maybe 2 seconds because of its name

>>149161653
Have faith

>>149162207
Oh, I thought you meant in the show.

>>149155450 (OP)
When next ep coming out I'm actually getting interested

>>149162233
Give it 4 months at least.

I imagine the child fanbase this show has probably clocked out with this episode. Too much adult talking, not enough of the usual shit they're into.

>>149162240
Christ.

>>149162252
Good, they needed to be weeded out somehow

>>149162252
I DON'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT THE CHILD FANBASE

>>149162290
Just a thought honestly. I've always had contempt for the younger fans because they're into it for stupidly shallow reasons.

>>149157687
>>149159108
Evil Zooble is female and straight

>>149162338
And a fucking idiot

>>149161952
I'm not against the idea of jax being a missing child.
Though at this point, they're all missing persons.

Theory/HC time.

Mannequins are placeholders, or NPCs.
In the short clip of Jax running through the hall we see a door with a mannequin. But why would there be a placeholder, instead of Kaufmo or Queenie?
Someone came into the circus with a default skin and went unnoticed. A ghost if you will, now if we consider that NPC at the end of the episode and the disappearing dude...

>>149162338
Evil Zooble becomes queer when holding her breath

>>149162347
That default NPC walking around the circus watching from corners is obviously important. It may even be Mr. Football from the first episode who shoots the screaming mask at Pomni when she opens the door.

>>149157687
I love how evil Zooble was just Caine making fun of her

>>149162252
Fuck them kids nigga lmao

Smoking pot in the Denny's parking lot with Evil Pomni

>Goose said in stream that Jax is not an npc but likes the idea and feels bad because theres stuff coming up in future episodes that could accidentally further the theory

>>149162414
>accidentally

>>149162414
So Jax could've been an NPC all along, but the current storyline isn't going in that direction.

>>149162419
She said she didn't intend it and seemed super tired about it so idk.

>>149162535
Sex with N.
I mean Evil Jax.

>>149162542
IMO the episodes have gotten better and better each time. The fast food episode with Gangle's plastic mask was great.

Question, has anyone ever created a NPC oc?

>>149162585
I felt to cringe doing it so no. But it's fun seeing others stuff.

>>149159221
There he goes

Motherfucking Goose the manikin running around in the background everywhere is NOT Dr. Football, it's a completely different character.

>>149162585
No I'm not in that hyperfixation-style camp. Those "evil" characters were probably made to make fun of the whole idea.

>>149162607
Dew it, create your oc, let your cringe flow in your blood.

>>149162585
>when she learns your taste in music

>>149162615
Whenever somebody spells mannequin like this I think of the Star Wars Prequels.

>>149162346

>>149162585
Stupid villainess bitch I love her

>>149155459
Qrd?

>>149162562
Just finished it, that hit me in the feels harder than I thought it would

>>149162654
Yeah, really humanizes Gangle even more then before. Was happy for her though (even if she got hit by a truck.)
Also Pomni being able to finally get over Gummigoo being deleted by "meeting" him again. She looked so relieved by the end.

>>149162653
Goose is el trune, therefore Goose is le pedo groomer because that anon's algorithmic programming said so

>>149162648
>>149162346
I keep tryna tell u people - they're much more likely to be brain scans because they've been there for years and their bodies would have died of dehydration ages ago.

They didn't get TRON-lasered, they put on a headset. Their real selves probably had no idea anything even happened, and moved on with their lives.

>>149162642
Manikin is specific to the artist drawing models that we see in the show.

>Not to mention the ssssssex appeal!

She has a point.

>Goose laughing about how fun it is to kill off characters
Uh-oh

>>149162702
I loved Bubble in EP5. The filter is just gone.

>>149162697
I'm aware, it's still silly.

It comes from Dutch, which is not a real language.

That's a weird/nice way of looking at things. But for ribbit abstracting I feel like it was going to happen anyways no matter how hard they try and stop it. They blame themselves however>>149162059
Wait she's from news ground? Based
>>149162252
Thank god.
>>149162689
That's a possible theory, I've seen another that the headset somewhat transfer the whole body into its world.

>>149162709
What are the odds Bubble gets murdered by Caine?

>>149155450 (OP)
I should really go to bed but I'll post this anyways. Going off of others ideas. Amazing Digital circus is an abandoned warehouse that is actually an experimental life support system testing.

Kinger originally developed the idea, programming but more as a hypothetical and never really thought they do it. Once they did he threatened to go too the cops and became the first in the circus (add his wife for same reasons)

Pomni and Zooble stumbled upon the warehouse. Zooble being first and Pomni being the last in the circus.

Gangle tried to unalive herself via truck kun and actually survived but the hospital bills got to much and the circus reached out to the parents.

Jax was a victim of abuse and tried to kill himself however didn't have family and fell through the cracks where the circus took advantage and put him in.

>>149162763
He gets killed all the time

>>149162787
Yeah but what if it sticks?

>One of the Oney Plays guys voicing a character in ep 7

>Goose would like to remake the pilot if allowed to fix a few things and to give it the better modern animation
I would throw money at Glitch.

>>149162880
He did have a voice in the EP5 "trailer" at the end.

>>149162888
The quality between the pilot and the episodes -is- pretty stark

plot twist Jax is secretly a tailless cat with long ears

>>149162919
I've seen the "Jax is a cat that got in the headset" theory floating around, mostly because of the way he acts like with jumping from the corn or how his eyes get super big.

>>149162918
>The quality between the pilot and the episodes -is- pretty stark
We have to harass Glitch to make it happen.

>>149162919
>>149162934
>Jax is an asshole because he is literally a cat
That would be funny

>>149162934
also the attacking and shaking his prey like a cat does when they thrash a fresh kill (twice!) in the episode. He can't stand being a vegan, and he hates having clothes put on him! I initially said it as a joke but it...kinda checks out?

What if he was one of their pets? If the Circus ends up being a "brain scan" or an end-of-life thing where someone's soul gets to live forever in the virtual world, what if someone wanted to make sure their beloved cat came with them to be with them for eternity?

>>149163010
>what if someone wanted to make sure their beloved cat came with them to be with them for eternity?
Imagine if Ribbit was Jax's owner

Was anyone else surprised to learn that Jax wanted to sleep? Do the characters need sleep?

>>149163064
Kinger says they don't need sleep but it's implied they are able to.

>>149163064
No and no. They don't need food either, but they eat anyway in the pilot.

>>149156551
I can only hope him for the best,despite the Economy Being In Shambles

>>149163064
I assume it's like Gem rules from Steven Universe; they don't "need" need to eat or sleep, but they can if they want.

>>149163016
Omg. Ribbit was in the same rubber hose-1930d cartoon style as Jax, too. They could have entered the circus together…awwwww

>>149162985
>internet is full of stories of cats being assholes
>my cat is a huge softie who wants nothing more than to get in my lap and/or lick my face
>if he stops purring in my lap it means he's fallen asleep
>wake him slightly and he starts purring again before he even opens his eyes
>he would rather sleep in my bed with me at night than pretty much anywhere else given the option
Sometimes I wonder if he's a dog in disguise. He IS a very large cat - as in, 'a small dog isn't winning this fight' big, and WAY stronger than you'd expect from a cat.

>>149163072
It's outright stated they can sleep to help pass the time, IIRC.

>>149163106
They have such distinctive personalities. I have two cats, a chubby girl who is so lovey and exactly like yours and a skinny boy who is more of an aloof, loveable jerk that gets into all kinds of shenanigans. They’re just the best aren’t they?

>>149163133
Yeah and we hear Kinger say it at the end of episode 1

>>149163106 #

>>149163064
>>149163133
even if I didn't need to sleep I would do it anyway because I would probably go fucking insane from a nonstop continuous stream of consciousness.

I don't mean in a clinical way like it would irl, it would aggravate the hell out of me and stress me out.

>>149162919
>Jax messes with Gangle all of the time because he likes to play with the ribbon

>>149163135
>>149163149
They are great - especially since they're effectively wild animals that just live in our houses and hang out with us. No offense to dog people, but I prefer a pet whose trust I have to earn and who hasn't had debilitating naïveté bred into them.

>>149163284
>especially since they're effectively wild animals that just live in our houses and hang out with us
nta you were talking to but this, I love this part so much. theyre so silly and unpredictable but are great pest control too

>>149163064
They don't need to do anything, but sleeping and eating still feels like something.

>>149163010
It's interesting how Pomni is kinda slowly getting more into talking to Jax like a friend after their time at the fast food place. Like she was the only person that didn't want Jax to be humiliated in the maid dress.

>>149162240
They said there'd be more digital circus soon, and since episode 4 came out pretty soon (iirc a month or so) after episode 3, I'd say 2 months is a decent estimate.

wtf evil pomni is really sexy

>>149162868
Her bust and gut being nearly the same size just made think she had sideways tits for a minute.

>>149162535
wish there was more Dictatorer fanart...

>>149161263
I noticed them. I just think Gaslight District sucks.

>>149163484
I could've had a couple more scenes of her. She's the kinda girl you smoke pot with.

>>149163596
It's pretty meh IMO as well.

>>149162768
>evil corporation does experiments on people
Hopefully won't be canon, plots like these usually suck in the end. Also they would have no reason to keep abstracted people around and would just kill them. Brain scan/body digitalization and abandoned computer is a more viable theory.
>>149163596
Yeah it's like Murder Drones/Helluva Boss with edgy characters killing random people for no reason but we're supposed to like them. Unlike Helluva Boss the visual design sucks too, so I'm sure it will be dropped after few flopped episodes.

>>149163633
Yeah it's much more typical of their usual output. TADC feels so I guess un-Glitch because it's basically just them funding an independent creator's idea that's all them.

Theory that's a bit out there:
Jax isn't "stuck" in the circus like everyone else.

He's actually a power user in the game with extended privileges and was a developer working under Kinger IRL.
However what really separates him from the others is that his IRL counterpart has regular access to the headset.
That is, Jax is a semi-autonomous avatar whose mind and memories are frequently updated by an actual player.
He treats the digital circus like it's a game because it quite literally still is for him.

>>149163181
>He's eating her out

>>149162085
>Jingle Jangle

idk, I just think Jax shooting gangle and raping her seems ooc and mean spirited by glitch standards

>>149155450 (OP)
i heard this shit was inspired by poppee the performer. has anyone watched it? is it worth checking out? it's fairly long for a schizo nonsense japanese cartoon, so i'm curious.

>>149162535
I do believe this artist is Russian

>>149164100
Mr Enter, please go back to bed.

>>149164101
Poppee the Performer is basically violent, surreal cartoon slapstick in a CG style. It's incredibly creative and amusing.
I guess in ways some parts of TADC could've been inspired by it.

>>149163048
>:)

It'll be really interesting when Caine finds out he can let the performers die in an adventure and they just respawn back into their rooms

>>149164004
I doubt it, he seems to not be an absolute psychopath and is capable of caring about others so I doubt he would just leave abstracted humans in the circus if he could save them unless they're are just disconnected avatars.

>>149163633
Unlike Helluva Boss, Murder Drones is kino.
And there's no indication Glitch would jist "drop" a series no matter how much you do this lame tribalfagging shit - Glitch work on the entire series in a pipeline and the shows are relatively short. Murder Drones 8 episodes, TADC will be 9, Gaslight District will be similar.
>>149163650
All of Glitch's shows from Murder Drones onward is Glitch producing an outside showrunner's show you retard. MD, TADC and now Gaslight District and later Knights Of Guinevere. TADC and Gooseworx are not unique in this regard. You can just say you like TADC like a normal person.

Only Meta Runner and Sunset Paradise were showran by Glitch's owners Luke and Kevin. They produced Murder Drones for Liam Vickers, The Amazing Digital Circus for Gooseworx, and so on with future shows and showrunners they bring in.

>>149163484
girls with sharp teeth jut do it for me, like that one toy chica 3d model

>>149162689
I think if they turned to be fake people, the audience would find it unsatisfying. With all the character development and the stakes they're currently in, having the reveal that they're not real would feel inconsequential. Stories like this are better as a short story twist.

>>149163650
>TADC feels so I guess un-Glitch because it's basically just them funding an independent creator's idea that's all them.
You DO realize that Glitch's other shows do exactly this right? This is how Glitch operates ever since they started with MD by getting Liam Vickers in as a showrunner, then they brought in Gooseworx. They will continue to do this for future shows, Gaslight District is from a relatively new and lesser known creator who I forget the name of. I'm not particularly interested in Gaslight District but people like you really need to stop huffing your own farts and choking on TADC's proverbial dick when you say shit like
>Yeah it's much more typical of their usual output
As if the other shows aren't high quality as well. At least, after Sunset Paradise and Meta Runner like >>149164167 says. But again, that was before Glitch started bringing in showrunners to produce their unique shows.

>Pomni doesn't like being treated like a child
>Evil Pomni likes roleplaying as a bratty toddler in bed

>>149164207
>tmw Meta Runner and Sunset Paradise were so forgettable that you can barely even notice them in that image
I'm genuinely pretty proud at how far Glitch have come

>>149164179
I don't know why them being clones would be unsatisfying, with that logic you could brush off all non-human characters in the show as unsatisfying because they're just NPCs.

>>149161921

wonder how they feel whenever their eyes get removed and used to see elsewhere

>>149164255
It's like video feeds

>>149158626
>Excited to see the Ned Flanders esque explosion in episode 7.
>Caine distinctly listing each of the characters issues he's fucking done with.

Wonder if Pomni can stretch at will or use hammer space or do cartoony stuff on purpose rather than a reaction

>>149162085
>Sorry about the President thing

>>149164230
The npcs aren't the humans. They're not meant to be substantive, just flavor text. As the exception, Gummigoo's role was to add to the mystery of how the circus works, as is the wooden guy.

I feel like if Pomni was the NPC helper instead of bubble, she would constantly do wacky shit like juggling the main cast around or constantly flipping, jumping and playing with the circus rigs and sitting on Caine's shoulder when idling

if ragatha made a poopy, would it also be stuffed and stitched up

>>149164332
>if a character was a different character they'd act different
Yes

>>149164350
no I meant like, specifically this is how id imagine her doing

>>149157920
Ragatha literally did nothing wrong. People who think otherwise legitimately belong in an asylum
>BEING NICE AND OPTIMISTIC TO KEEP THE PEACE IS HECKING BAD, OKAY!? MANIPULATOR!
Blow it out of your asses.

>>149164225
Yeah, though it is a pity that there doesn't seem to be additional TADC content planned after all of the 4 remaining episodes run out, despite show's apparent success.

>>149164269
Would all be worth it if it ends with Kinger saying “Hey, I got off pretty easy.”

>>149164269
If anyone deserves a Ned Flandersplosion it’s Ragatha, but you know that’ll never happen without abstraction

>>149164408
Especially if Kinger ends up being the only one who can help him

>>149164369
It reminds me of how Rick and Morty genuinely tried to portray Jerry as a toxic and destructive person for not being a total asshole like Rick. Like no, some people just aren't wired that way it's not an evil scheme.

I think you rabid ragatha fans might be missing a few things about what's going on. Please check your assburgers.

>>149164403
I wish it could just get one filler episode where the cast just goes on one fun adventure without anything lore heavy happening

>>149164470
People find you exhausting to be around IRL.

>>149164480
Butthurt

>>149164443
>you know what your problem is, AI I may or may not have created, you’re afraid of being human

>>149164480
That may be, but it doesn't change what I said.

>>149164491
>Butthurt
Far from it, actually. If anything, I feel pity for you

>>149162709
FUCK
also does anyone have timestamps for all this stuff like goose saying Jax isn't an NPC?

>>149164507
As a Kingerbro, I’m sitting comfortably.

how bleak do (You) expect the ending to be on a scale from 1 (The Mist) to 10 (fairytale)?

>>149162495
But what about...

>>149164502
It proves you're a toxic Jaxfag who doesn't know how to interact with people, so you think being a filterless asshole is the way to go. In fact, I think YOU'RE missing a few things. Ragatha is legitimately a nice person and isn't trying to take advantage of anyone whenever she hides her negative feelings. Look at the two separate occasions where she acted like an asshole - it was to people who deserved it for being jerkasses themselves. The only thing I take away from looking at these threads is that most people here are negative, angry men that can't empathize.

>>149164435
I enjoyed her mask off moment in EP5

>>149164597
Must’ve been devastating hearing the one person you can almost open up to tell you to chill out after letting yourself truly explode for the first time. Not a Ragatha hater at all, but please I want this abstraction so bad.

>>149164610
She seems on the path. She sees Jax suddenly buddying up with another performer knowing what happened to Ribbit. The stress and panic might tip her over the edge.

>>149164610
>>149164621
Jaxfags, everyone.

>>149164621
>performer
Is that their official title? I’ve heard circus-goers and players tossed around.

And thank you for giving this theory more evidence

>>149164649
I'm no Jaxfag, anon

>>149164553
I am thinking a hard 3.
I would not be suprised there is a hypothetical ability to leave the circus one of them will realize they don't really want to return, maybe they even undermine the others from escaping the circus.

>>149164649
I already told you I’m a Kinger bro, I can feel Jax doing something heinous and inexcusable at the bitter end. Well whatever

>>149164369
She kept treating Pomni like a baby and wanting to be the group's mom or some shit. Yeah it's not "bad" but it's annoying, especially when Jax and Pomni are having a conversation and she barges in like "UH JAX ACTUALLY YOU'RE MEAN AND THAT'S BAD", accidentally blurts out something hurtful and proceed to flee the conversation.
When things are shit you're allowed to say they're shit instead of trying to water it down like she does, that's not helping, there's such a thing as toxic positivity.

>>149164435

>PHARKK

>>149164677
she was right to point out that maybe gangle wants to hang out with zooble because it's someone who treats her nice compared to him

>>149164751
Zooble being the most normal person at the circus who actually still has her empathy intact is the best fit for Gangle. If she wasn't around Gangle would've abstracted years ago.

>Ragatha: "I'm sorry Jax. for... for bringing up that thing earlier."
>Jax:

>>149164786
thinkgn of frogg

>>149155450 (OP)

>>149164796

>>149164151
>Caine suddenly has Zooble die every adventure to an unhealthy degree
>sometimes he “forgets” to bring her back until someone points it out
>caine shrugs and tries to put it off a bit longer before demanded to bring her back, caving in with a groan

>>149164818
Good job, gangle. Now he's having a fun rpg adventure in another reality.
>>149164751
>>149164774
I choose to believe that zooble is hiding something

>>149164856
I meant the respawning would be automatic

>>149164786
What did she bring up? I forgot

>>149164927
His old friend who abstracted ages ago

>>149164151
I dont think they can die, like at all, as in they Łąck a Heath stat, and cant enter a "dead" state because that's not in the programing for there bodies, you can stab them, cut them up, but they still will be alive

>>149164905
Cane one day gets really upset at zooble for some reason, and sets her respawn point over a running giant blender.

>>149157068
How would that work? Bubble's already perfectly round. In inflation the characters are always getting rounder, not just bigger.
>>149157083
What does it sound like when an Australian speaks Spanish? Is that an accurate accent?

Why wouldn't he? They all came from the real world.

>>149165374
And didn't Ragatha not know what he was talking about? She's been in there for a while.

>>149162689
My theory is that the circus is time dilated

Think inception

>>149159959
The moon talked to Caine in the latest episode

>>149165387
Ragatha has probably been there for the second longest after Kinger, considering she's the second oldest, and seems well-adjusted to it, but starting to crack.
My guess is: Kinger > Ragatha > Jax > Gangle > Zooble > Pomni

>Remember when you got high at McDonalds and told Gangle to kill herself
Drunk Jax is funne

>>149165387
>>149165448
I think it's because she's kinda sheltered, otherwise she'd have asked "what is Youtube?" when it was brought up since Youtube is only a few years older than Breaking bad and wasn't popular at the time.

>>149165448
I swear Goose stated it and this was the exact order.

>>149165709
What are you doing to her arms?
