Concept of how Gangle looks outside the circus

>>149241894 (OP)
Post better Gangles than this godawful OP

>>149241894 (OP)
Die

>>149241894 (OP)
Anon, these threads do well enough for themselves that they don't need to be fueled with ragebait.

>>149241921
>>149241929
I’m hoping for something more like this with “RAGATHA’S #1 FAN.”

https://youtu.be/UEGVGqJEeCo

>>149241956
although I would expect there to be gun violence from him at some point. Not condoning it at all, just seeing it from his mental state

>>149241956
Ragatha will be fine so I don’t see the issue.

>>149241976
>EWU Crew is here to bring you never seen before footage of a man who tried to hijack a plane en route to Australia to "strangle the goose"

What I don't understand is how supposedly none of the characters talked about their personal lives before the circus. How has zooble being a tattoo artist not come up once before now? What the fuck are these guys talking about when they aren't on adventures?

What I don't understand is how supposedly no-one talked about their personal lives before the circus. How has zooble being a tattoo artist not come up once before now? What the fuck are these guys talking about when they aren't on adventures?

>>149241894 (OP)
Why do you keep posing people’s shitty ideas like it’s relevant in any way?

>>149242008
Zooble is almost always by themselves testing out parts. They're adventure-averse and, in general, most of the circus mates aren't talkative folk to begin with.
Jax tells only lies, Kinger speaks only nonsense, Ragatha only hollow platitudes. Gangle doodles in modest silence, and Zooble broods. It is Pomni with her genuine curiosity that motivates them to do a little more together.

>>149242008
They don’t. Kinger is insane and says nonsense, Gangle is too cowardly to talk a lot, zooble is detached and only seems to recently have warmed up to zoobie, Ragatha just says what others like to hear and Jax is an asshole who nobody likes. Before Pomni came along they had no reason to talk about this stuff.

>>149242003
Eyewitness: I’ve heard of “choking the chicken”, so I thought he was just a sexual degenerate. He shouted it the whole flight.

>>149241992
She’s already not doing good

>>149242008
They did but digital hallucinations happen and they forget everything

>>149242038
No character is “doing good” overcoming suffering is part of what this show is exploring.

>>149242008
Kinger must have had a fun time trying to wrap his ailing head around what the fuck has happened to others while he was riding a bull.
>Ragatha is still inebriated
>Jax is a depressed mess
>Gangle quietly walked to some distant nook and refused to interact until Zooble dragged her back

>>149242029
>>149242037
Ok, but it's been years and we do see them hanging out sometimes. They should at least know basic stuff about each other after YEARS. I understand that the bar talk stuff is for the audience's benefit, but it still irks me a little

>>149242050
What about Pomni?

I need Gangle to do more psychologically torturous things to Jax. It’s hilarious

>>149242068
Good morning, Vixen.

>>149241894 (OP)
so why can't she just be an awkward lanklette instead of a hippo?

>>149241894 (OP)
I like it. She'd look exactly like the weird asocial weebs from highschool.

I'm a big fan of the mask thing

>>149242073
Morning

>>149242085
Seriously, if anything, Ragatha or Zooble should be the hippo.

>>149242063
They barely talk outside of adventures. Apart from Gangle and Zooble, and Kinger who is fairly fond of everyone (bar Kaufmo), none of them even really like each other. End of story.
And maybe Jax did know about Ragatha, he had a moment of emotional reaction to her story. Maybe Gangle knew about Zooble. It's Jax and Ragatha who didn't, because Zooble does not talk to them at all.

>>149242103
Didn't Goose say something to the effect of
>TADC is like "what if Toy Story, but everyone is an asshole"

>>149242063
Obviously they should already know more about each other than they did for the purpose of the bar scene, but maybe not as much as you think they should. Has it never happened to you that you'd spent years "trapped" with a specific coworker or family member that you think you have all figured out and then suddenly you learn something new about them?

This is a group of 5 to 7 assholes that are actually trapped and each has their own brand of mental issues. Even if it wasn't for the audience's benefit, there'd be a lot of stuff they've probably never talked about.

>>149242063
I have a theory that only Ragatha and Kinger have “known” each other for years. Everyone else is a recent addition, like weeks apart. Maybe Jax has stuck around longer but his conversations are bullshit.

This is pretty telling of how unwilling to go deeper Ragatha is. Out of everyone, I imagine she’s the one who wanted to talk about her past the least, leading to everyone else keeping quiet.

>>149242130
so Toy Story?

What will be the last straw that finally breaks Caine?

>>149241894 (OP)
Why does tumblr think everyone has missing teeth? The only people I know who have missing teeth are the elderly and drug addicts.

>>149242145
Kek
>“Hi, I’m woody! Howdy, howdy, howdy.”
>Ha ha, a ha-gimme that!

>>149242136
You can get away with shallow conversations with family members you don't see all the time, and co-workers you only interact with in a work context. It's a bit different when you're literally trapped with someone all the time. Even if they are all closed off nutcases, they have nothing but each other. They should know each other fairly well by this point.

>>149242152
The elderly, drug addicts, and the obese which you could argue are food addicts because food’s a drug. It’s because they’re morbidly obese. They’re drawing what they know

>>149242137
They hinted that Ragatha has been there longer with the breaking bad thing. Jax must have been there a little while to have formed such a strong bond with ribbit.

>>149241894 (OP)
>Damn bitch. You live like this?

>>149242177
I still think that particular reference went over her head because she was sheltered. We don’t even know what year the circus takes place in

>>149241894 (OP)
Why? Why missing teeth? This must be bait.

>>149242175
You can lose teeth for being a fat fuck?
Genuinely didn’t know that

>>149241894 (OP)
>>149241919
There is something admittedly funny about the idea that no one every really considers these people IRL could be completely undesirable, it reminds me of how everyone was acting when Invisible Man in Hotel Transylvania wasn't some suave whatever the fuck

>>149242218
Fatness itself doesn't do anything to your teeth, but fat people often drink soda. Soda is both acidic and sugary and ideal for causing tooth decay. Also the more you eat, the more likely you'll get food in your teeth, and food detritus that goes unflossed is the absolute supreme source of tooth decay.

>>149242218
>candy
>sodies
>nonstop meat between teeth
>all while only letting food in your mouth
Brother, sugar’s a hell of a drug. I don’t know how Princess loolilalu stays so skinny and as a fatfag I’m severely disappointed

>>149242197
maybe, it's just such a specific thing to include.

>>149242256
Fuck, I don’t even think she was allowed to watch TV

>>149242218
>>149242235
>>149242248
It only happens if you don't frequently brush your teeth. And don't floss.

>>149242234
I’m sure there must’ve been fangirls that still lusted after the invisible man after getting a good look at him.

>>149242263
Isn't she 30?

>>149242267
When you’re addicted to sugar you don’t want anything else going into your mouth

>>149242279
This is where the “years” come into effect. Some people don’t leave their parents WELL into their thirties, and she already failed real estate

>>149242248
>sugar's a hell of a drug
It’s funny you say that because studies have shown that sugar is legitimately more addictive than cocaine

>>149241894 (OP)
Tell me this is fanmade...

>>149242008
Yeah, It was implied that they don't know their original names so I suspected that their whole history was erased from their memories and all that was left was their personality. Which begs the question, if they remember their jobs, their history, how do they not know their own names?

>>149242293
I kinda dig the pre-circus gap between the lives of Ragatha and Gangle.
>The latter is a community college dropout who had to go to work in the fast food joint to sustain themselves
>The former had a wealthy parents who secured a cushy job for her in a family business, but turned her life into hell with abuse

>>149242329
It’s supposed to be like a video game where you enter a name when you start a new game/save

>>149242150
The performers boycotting his adventures.

>>149241919
cute girls don't work in fast food

>>149242329
Maybe even jobs and history were fabricated like in Danganronpa. That wiuld be lame as shit

>>149242150
This >>149242384 or Zooble doing one more crack at his work

>>149242388
I have never seen a slob work at a fastfood restaurant chain. Corporations owning those don't want regular Joe-Schmoe to make a link before the overpriced slop he is consuming and the hambeast working the grill.

>>149242328
It’s “fan”made.

>>149242388
Sounds like you live someplace where everyone is as ugly as yourself

>>149242388
Oh yes they do

>>149242329
>Pomni remembers her life when she enters
>explicitly cannot remember her name but has everything else
>no one finds her mentions of a headset weird
>HURRRR HOW DEY MEMBER PAST BUT NOT NAME?!?
Fucking speedwatchers

>>149242671
More like peewatchers

>>149241919
Your taste is bad and you should feel bad about it.

>>149242267
former shut in here: my teeth are yellow but I've only had one small cavity. I don't drink soda anywhere close to regularly (I'm 20 and have drank maybe 10 sodas in my entire life) and I'm pretty sure that's why I've never had serious problems with tooth decay.

>>149243155
I heard somewhere that yellow is actually teeth’s natural color

>>149243223
It’s more of an off-white or yellowish-white depending on the person

Would you guys be satisfied if TDAC ended like Tranquility Lane?

>>149241894 (OP)
I wanna formally apologize to everyone in this general, for I must confess that it was I who first posted this image as a joke. Ever since then some other anon saved it and has been using to to rage bait, I can't help but think that this must be how Oppenheimer felt. Please take this far better human interp as an apology.

>>149243309
I think of TADC as more of a SOMA situation IE brain scans that become new consciousnesses then people laying in pods getting abused by a simulation master that all need to be mercy killed by shutting off the life support systems.

>>149241894 (OP)
Again with this Disgusting "Diverse" Fat bear Crybaby?

This Design fits better fir Gangle, she's not a Discord moderator, god damnit.

>>149241945
They does, this looks like a disgusting fetish fantasy

>>149243371
I mean Zooble's VA drew it so it's my canon Gangle

>>149242234
Ugly bastard fetish is a Disgusting horror.

>>149242328
Yes, and the Asshole who made this apparently have a fetish about this characters having ugly and repelent design.

>>149242218
My older brother has last teeth, he isn't a fat fuck, but he only drinks soda and doesn't brush his teeth. Most of them are rotting and he's only in his thirties, he's had half of them pulled already

My mom who can't walk good, and kisses the concrete/ tile fairly often, has more teeth left than he does.

Don't drink soda.

Not really. It wouldn't be the worst thing in the world but I wouldn't love it.

None of the circus cast seem brown to me

The Twitter Freak who Drew this:

>>149243620
First, you must obtain the obsession, then you must let it drive every day of your life. he has one with the Pizza Tower intro if you want to see that too

I want to do a sex on or around the Pomni

>>149243844
I don't get this comic's jokes

So what's everybody's damage?
Ragatha is the easiest, she's an abuse victim that copes by people-pleasing
Zooble has identity issues, likely trans
Kinger has dementia
Pomni is... a thrill-seeker? She's mostly played the straight man but exploring condemned buildings is a weird hobby
Jax is rejection-sensitive so some form of ADHD

>>149243943
we don't know enough about zoobles yet

we don't really know much about pomni
once upon a time urban spelunking was a thing you'd just hear people do among alternative types.
pomni is to old and has to much of an established job to be doing that though.

so i don't think being a "thrill-seeker' would lead up to much more than she's the kind of person so bored of her life that she's willing to go on any ride

jax having adhd seems like a stretch. he's just a bully with a soft side

>>149243886
In episode 4 Jax said in jest that it looks like Pomni wouldn't get a unicorn horn that Zooble used to wear in previous episodes. Upon Pomni's objection Gangle proceeded to suggest that Pomni would have looked good with one - to which Pomni replied "Well, it's possible..." before Caine cut her off.

>>149244010
the thing is based on the official comic, I don't get said comic
also jest lol

>>149243943
Characters don't need damage.

>>149241894 (OP)
Oh hey they updated it! Much better now

>>149244090
Jesus fucking christ

>>149244090

>>149244090
>updated it
When? A year ago?
We already know that she used to be a fastfood wagecuck. That doesn't sound like hikikomori material. Shut-ins hate interacting with others in person, let alone having to boss them around their workplace.

why hate on this? Is this not what you would imagine the average American 26 year old graphic design college dropout/McDonald's manager with unresolved dreams of making it big on webtoons to look like? Gangle would not be attractive IRL

>>149243943
I think Zooble is a lot deeper than just being trans/les/enbie
She may have actual physical problems with her body that manifest

>>149243943
Kinger is CPTSD not dementia and besides Ragatha andmaybe Gangle, we don't know enough about the others quite yet.

>>149244337
Its kino because its an accurate depiction of what someone who's deeply depressed and unfulfilled would look like. Woulf you expect someone like Gangle to take care of themselves IRL?

>>149244434
It's really annoying that they spam that fucking image on all the networks. And no, I don't deny that a geeky person is disgusting.

>>149244376
Oh Anony-boy. Don't you want to be a modelling threadposter?

>>149244469
Is it wrong that I'm partially turned on by the idea of Gangle saying something like this to me?

>>149244469
gangle senpai

>>149241894 (OP)
fat people should die

>>149244293
A troon ogre with chronic tooth decay wouldn't last in the customer facing job that Gangle canonically had. Gangle can be unattractive but she's not going to be Quasimodo Halitosis, especially in food service.

>>149241894 (OP)
The concept art makes me irrationally angry because there's so much self-inflicted suffering here. She would still have her teeth if she would just remember to brush. She would feel better about herself if she exercised regularly, stopped wearing give-up-on-life pants, practiced better posture, and just washed her face nightly. She's not even hopeless as she is, and she can absolutely turn her life around (assuming she didn't get stuck in the circus) if she wanted to. And I know the primary obstacle to all this is depression, and I know that depression is probably rooted in low self-worth likely resulting from mistreatment in childhood or difficulty making friends. It's that wretched weight that saps your motivation to even try accompanied by that inner critic that only wants to maximize your self-hate. I know all this, and still I hate it and refuse to accept it.

(You) who bothered to read all this: get out of the stupid depressive death spiral you've found yourself in. You wouldn't want this for the people you care about, so don't want it for yourself. I wish I could reach through the screen and shake you as I tell you this. Start by building good routines around sleep, exercise, and nutrition. Try just exercising or walking around for just 5 minutes on days where you feel like shit, and let yourself count that as a partial victory. Once you've got that down, work on making friends by finding a hobby you like/skill you want to learn/community that shares your values and talk to people within those circles. Once you have that down, focus on finding what you are most passionate about/what is most meaningful to you, and pursue that. Get help by going to therapy and presenting them with specific goals you want to work towards. And shut the fuck up before you open your mouth to tell me you aren't worth it. God damn it.

>>149244090
Still ugly as fuck.

I'll be honest anons, that fast food episode made Gangle really come of to me as that one flat, sticc sort of lady. Yknow the one who's almost 30 and also has braces? Not the most attractive but can be pretty in the right angles. I dont know, i made at attempt at it with picrel.

Love my they/them wife

>>149241894 (OP)
While I get what the OP artist is going for, the fact she had a job and a manager rile no less means she didn't full blown give up on herself and fully deteriorate herself.

Like, she's still probably a fat greasy nerd but not to that extent. She canonically is not a NEET and is able to hide her powerlevel.

Would you watch Pomni’s YouTube videos of a bored office lady exploring abandoned buildings?

>>149245469
ngl I'd watch pretty much anything to keep myself distracted when I'm bored

>>149244180
Yes.
It have a fetish about Ugly Bastards.

>>149244090

>>149245646
Sorry this isn't a safe space, snowflake

>>149245713
I’m still hoping for it to be TRON style instead because I just think it’s cooler and it gives more weight to them being stuck in the circus

>>149245722
>10 year old no u insult from the gamergate era
Officially culturally downstream

>>149245482
Those exact sort of channels/vids got big like 2-3 years ago but then everyone started making fun of them with the "DON'T GO INTO THE STAGNANT WATER" memes.

Now that I think about it, they got big around the time The Backrooms got big. So, some correlation I guess.

>>149241894 (OP)
Nah, I've known women with the type of physique and way of carrying themselves that she showed in the fast food episode and I can easily see her as skeleton skinny

Why didn't those two abstract yet? They are clearly the least mentally healthy members of the circus.

>>149245646
Hey, take it up with Goose. Zooble is canonically a they/them.

>>149245819
while it would make sense I'd be very surprised if any of the characters will abstract at all considering how attached people have become to some of them. Goose will never hear the end of it, autists will hunt her down to the ends of the earth for the rest of her life

Evil!showtime should be called something like showdown also i need more of this please

>>149245819
Kinger's insane and barely anything affects him anymore so he’s fine and we literally watched Gangle almost abstract until Pomni stepped in and “saved” her

What does "mismatched cash piano" even mean?

>>149245908
>Gangle almost abstract
At the start of the show, I'd expect something like this to happen out of all the abuse Jax is putting her through, but nope. She was on her way to abstract during the only adventure where she effectively turned him into a docile and resigned mess. Talk about irony.

>>149245941
same thing as "meowing milkmaids", duh

>Want to write Anon in circus fic
>Perfectionist autism knows that different anons would want different relationships with the characters

So next EP will be about Jax
Maybe we'll get into his backstory with Ribbit which shows us why he is mean to everyone as a defense mechanism, probably him not wanting to get close to someone again in case they abstract and he loses them

>>149245941
>>149245963
Caine has a random nickname generator that produces adjective-noun pairs whenever he wants to playfully refer to the humans in the Circus

>>149244090
I feel like most Gangle humanizations come across as wrong. Either they go full wallflower waifu mode or make her into a repulsive monster when really she should be a bland girl who blends into the background since she was socially retarded and probably tried to hide her power level after she gave up on her dreams.

>>149246014
Please do the Zooble route first I'm dying over here

>>149245908
He can get more insane, Alzheimer's doesn't stop progressing

>barely anything affects him anymore
His wife would. Abstraction isn't death, she's just in the basement.
>adventure where they descend into the abstraction cellar like Pomni and Kinger did at Mildenhall

>>149245989
I know that in one of the dubs Caine calls them "skibidi sigmas"
It's so dumb it's kinda funny

>>149245951
It’s cause the adventures were distracting her enough to keep her head above water. Once she was stuck in an environment with no distractions, the insults were able to sit with her a lot longer. It doesn’t help that Ragatha also insulted her and the adventure itself reminded Gangle of the awful life she used to have

>>149245951
He was still the dominant force in that interaction because of how much he did not care for something she cared about, and could not make him. She had to get the upper brass to help force punishments on him, like any annoying manager with an inferiority complex

>>149245984
I genuinely could not care less about Jax's sadboy backstory and I hope his episode gets sidetracked with shenanigans and other characters like Ragatha and Zooble's did.

>>149246032
My personal bias is Ragatha but I know where I would go with Zooble more than what I’d do with Pomni/Gangle.

>>149245989
Don’t look up what Bazooble says in the Russian dub

>>149245907
I like it with normal Pomni and evil Caine but I guess it's basically just the Freakshow au at that point.

>>149246072
How would your Zooble story go? I'm curious

>>149246040
Kinger has ptsd according to goose not alzheimers

>>149246096
Well, I wouldn’t want to spell it out if I’m doing it, but let’s say that Zooble’s whole thing with being uncomfortable with their avatar leads to a pretty smooth romance arc.

>>149246070
I just hope his sadboy backstory is going to be one that simultaneously reveals him to be more of an asshole, because that's how I like him. No wholesome gay frog shit

It will continue to be posted forever.

>>149242029
Zooble is a Girl, You Faggot from Twitter.

>>149246040
Kinger does not have alzheimers, he's got ptsd and survivors gulit. I think goose clarified that.

Tell me about your circus sona

>>149246139
I'm not THAT autistic
he has sex with Pomni and Evil Pomni

>>149246129

>>149246117
I need it

>>149246148
But you get the Idea.

>>149246138
this, Goose did confirm it and Kinger can learn new people's names and actually remember them, alzheimer's patients are unable to do that
>t. cna at an elder care facility

>>149246150
True, either is good.

I'm not the one posting it, just pointing out that as long as you faggots keep responding to it it's going to keep getting posted.

>>149246029
She's clearly meant to be unattractive. Like probably not monster tier, but her back is obviously hunched and the rest of her body is overly thin and lacks womanly curves. Real gangle would probably look like female version of the virgin from virgin vs chad meme or one of female /co/ creators like Daron Nefcy, Hannah Daigle, Ami Guillen, etc...

>>149246138
I wasn't seriously diagnosing, just making the point that mental infirmity isn't a static or unmalleable state

>>149246117
Anon would insist Zooble is a girl until she relents.

>>149246219
Zooble is fine with any pronouns.

>>149246219
She's a girl in a Misshapen body.

>>149246219
Would be funny but I don't think it fits Zooble's character, I'm sure whoever writes it could come up with something more of a natural progression thing

>>149246139
If I were in the circus I would be asking questions nonstop 24/7 and the times I’m not asking I’m THINKING about which questions to ask

>>149246118
Yeah, anything else will just make him seem like edgy yaoibait or a secret wooby and I get more than enough of that shit from anime.

>>149246118
Of definitely, wouldn't surprise me that Ribbit abstracted beacuse of something Jax did
He has probably always been an asshole and he took things too far

>>149246275
I'd pester Caine to make my own personal adventures where I get to do whatever I want with copies of the other cast
No one will know...

oh hey had the finished version of that one kek

Love the power couple energy from both here

>>149241894 (OP)
I didn’t care for this design when I first saw it and thought it was supposed to be some sort of ragebait, but I got the vision when the artist redrew the scene where Gangle is upset behind the restaurant in her fast food uniform.

>>149246332
I have the finished one too but there's just something about the sketchy lines that I love.

>>149246344
Can you show it? I don't know the artist

>>149246139
A big bumbling dragon, turtle, bat thing

>>149246360
She's gonna cause Caine to have a forced shut down.

>>149246317
Good thing Zooble is non binary then
I mean I am pretty sure Zooble was born a woman so I don't think it's gay to be attracted to them

>Real gangle would probably look like female version of the virgin from virgin vs chad meme or one of female /co/ creators like Daron Nefcy, Hannah Daigle, Ami Guillen, etc.
Pretty much what I was getting at. Not outright ugly but not particularly attractive either. If anything she is more likely to be borderline anorexic than fat.

>>149246379
dunsparce?

>>149246427
>Why do you think I would be into that?

Apparently, some Gen Alpha brainrot version of KiwiFarms decided to start harassing everyone involved with Digital Circus by doxing them and sending them disturbing-to-illegal content over Xitter, and are even targeting the guy who made the video.

Tall imposing guy restrained in a straight jacket and those insane asylum spitguard masks. Hard to understand because of the mask. Prone to fits as he tries to free himself. Needs help with most tasks because he cant do them himself

Affectionate towards everyone, happy, wouldnt hurt a fly, and genuinely enjoys all of Caine's adventures

>>149246506
Huh Goose is moving suddenly too, I wonder if it's related.

comedically topheavy circus strongman with an anvil for a head, no facial features whatsoever, and very maladroit ham hands. enjoys incredibly realistic adventures boring adventures like "Laundry Day" and "Barber Shop Blitz" that he causes havoc with due to the limitations of his digital body.

>>149246139
None. I think I'm past that phase in my life.

>>149246845
Nope, zero facial features whatsoever, which means whenever something horrible happens he instinctively claps his giant mitts over his anvil and complains "Aw, man. I can still see it."

>>149246139
A purple lump with a squinty eyed face on it. It slides around the floor The Cheat or Globglogabgalab style and communicates by burping up flat text that unceremoniously flops on the floor in front of it, making a dropped sheet of 1/16" thick aluminum sound.
>>149246622
What area in Paraphore would Gangle hang around until getting dragged elsewhere?
>>149246707
No it will be the one person gets 2 tickets to a thing and everyone else fights to be their plus 1 for that second ticket.
||The Tickets are to the real world||
||Episode after the two get those tickets are inexplicably back and nervous and dismissive about what happened to them when others bring it up. Going as far as denying those tickets were ever a thing.||

Probably some Green, Black and White striped sock monkey. Taller than most of the cast expect Kinger, with hand numbs who are slightly bigger than a regular sock monkey

Uses his numbs to run away or hide himself from others most of the time, also rarely speaks

No you don't

It could also be pomni

>>149247141
This gives me more of a Pomni vibe

>>149246139
Okay, I'll bite. I've been ruminating about this for a while but it's tough making a character that isn't "perfect self-insert wholesome chungus." I'm fairly confident in what I've baked in my brain so far.

>Stuffy. A large Teddy Bear that matches Jax's height (minus the ears.)
>Has Asperger's but came from a loving family. His issues stem from his self-loathing due to not being able to live up to the expectations of himself or those around him all his life alongside an inferiority complex as a result of having an older brother who was essentially better than him in every single way, shape, and form.
>When first dropped into the Digital Circus, he would freeze up and become sheepish as so many things are happening so fast (Caine's introduction, the rest of the gang's pleasantries, the horrific idea that the Digital Circus would be the rest of his life from now on, etc.)
>Given some time to take everything in, he learns to warm up to some of the others. Particularly Zooble since she's the most grounded out of everyone there.
>He also learns that he's actually the biggest and strongest one out of the group (as demonstrated when he grabs Jax by the neck when antagonized and chucking him across the room.)
>Zooble introduces him to Gangle in hopes he'll protect her from Jax's bullying. Her and Stuffy quickly get along since Stuffy also used to be an artist before winding up in the Digital Circus. This also prompts his previously mentioned inferiority complex to be quietly introduced when he discovers that Gangle has better overall artistic prowess than him, but for now decides to learn and study her work until said feelings happen to bubble over in one of Caine's adventures.
>The majority of the conflict that arises from Stuffy happens either due to failing others, failing himself, or his inferiority complex should there ever be overlapping duties/hobbies/roles.

>>149245110
If we assume their forms are based on their actual physical appearance, then Gangle has a hunched posture and zero curves.

>Kinger is a genius software designer whose wife is dying
>creates the circus as a way to spend eternity with her, just having fun and going on wacky adventures
>other people start finding their way in, can’t escape, and see it as hell on earth
>the guilt drives Queener to abstract
>Kinger’s mind is too jumbled to even remember he created the world around them
Rate my shitty headcanon.

lol

>>149247204
It’s aight but there must be a reason it’s family friendly.

>>149247204
plausible/10
it doesn't really explain why other people are randomly showing up in the circus though

>>149246782
Honestly, there should be more 'female ugly bastards' that steal hot boyfriends from girls.

>>149246782
yeah

>>149247244
NTA but Pomni being an urban explorer is enough to vaguely put it together.
Kinger was working on the circus, he and his wife got sucked in, it became an abandoned house. Ragatha was the real estate agent assigned to it. Jax was a thief trying to sneak valuables. Gangle was looking for a quiet place to draw her comic after her shift at McDonalds. And Pomni and Zooble like exploring abandoned buildings.
Previous members were probably cops, vagrants, teens, etc.

>>149247251
Fuck no, yuck. That’s just goofy.

>>149247251
The female equivalent is the slut whore who puts out stealing from the chaste and kind GF/childhood friend.

>>149247175
You can't just drop a proper character lore here that's against the rules
(I like him)

>>149246139
>>149246900
Some things I forgot. When burping up words sometimes the letters aren't in order, so to make it easier to communicate will try to only burp up one or two words at a time. The lump doesn't have limbs, can't pick anything up telepathically either. Can't show much emotion with the face since eyes are always squinted and the only other feature is a mouth. Ends up not lasting too long before abstracting. Can grab things in it's mouth to carry around. Sometimes uses the letters it burps up as tools.

>>149247204
So is Queenie just a digital copy of his wife before she died in real life? Or do you think people's actual consciousness are transferred to the digital world?

>>149247299
What does it think about candy people
Do they hear them calling

>>149247322
Digimon rules

>>149247322
Personally I think it's digimon style digitization. Their entire bodies get sucked into the computer.

>>149247291
Thanks. I'll probably drop more doodles of him interacting with the rest of the troupe to help solidify his character.

>>149247333
Indifferent. Probably abstracts before meeting them despite looking a bit like a gum drop made out of the clay that came with Cranium (board game)

>>149247335
Digimon rules would be ideal. Brain copies is fucking boring.

>>149247389
I think it would also lessen the impact of the Gummigoo subplot in episode 2 if it turns out that the humans are also just npc's in essence.

>>149247372
cranussy

>>149247372
They just made me think about The Fudge is all

>>149247389
Brain copies is what would make the most sense if we limit ourselves to what is most likely going to happen in the real world but I agree, full digitization would be more interesting as it would mean their enitre person and in essence their souls are real inside the digital world
Makes the eternal torment more impactful

>>149246918
Where is she? What are your demands?

>>149247501
I've saying this for months. Welcome to my club.

>>149246139
Just kind of a googly monster creature with an unimaginably long tongue. Muppet-ish. Something like Quina Quen and Gooey from Kirby's Dream Land 3 mixed with Cookie Monster. I am a derivative creature.
Personality is given to hopelessness. Won't last long in the circus. Persists only due to fear of death.

>>149247335
>>149247346
>>149247389
Full agree, also I'm really surprised there hasn't been any or much digimon crossover/au stuff with tadc it always made the most sense to me

>>149247426
>>149247501
I agree with that. I generally find Dark Mirror shit with copies less impactful than the original mind being trapped.
That said, following these brain scan copies around for a season or two, establishing that they can grow and change as people, and never seeing the real world counterparts, I feel like they could still make it compelling.
Imagine they’re getting close to finding a way out of the circus. They find some breadcrumbs, an emergency back door into the operating system, everybody is invested and believes in escape for the first time in god knows how long. And then they learn the horrible truth that they can’t ever escape. They’re just ones and zeros. Their true selves walked away a moment after putting on the headset. That could be a devastating moment.

>>149247501
>>149247530
I prefer the brain copies because it allows for the real Kinger and Queenie to possibly still be together and happy.

Which one of you made this?

>>149247520
ekk no

>>149247569
>That said, following these brain scan copies around for a season or two, establishing that they can grow and change as people, and never seeing the real world counterparts, I feel like they could still make it compelling.
I do agree, but I feel like the setup would have to be a little different for it to be as effective. Maybe I just personally like the idea of "this is the real you, and you're stuck here forever, so you better learn to deal with it" better as a story concept.

>>149247587
Bro just dropped a:

>>149247587

>>149247583
I would almost prefer for there to be a way to save people from their abstracted state (although even that would be a pretty bad idea to make part of the story I think).

Her jumper makes her look like a Beano or Viz comic character

>>149246139
I'll just post this shitter I did.

>>149247662
Saving the abstracted feels like a copout. Idk I prefer the bran scan scenario because it also ties in with the "just because you aren't *real* doesn't mean you're not important" thing that Pomni was showing Gummigoo. I think it's going to be important to whatever happens to Caine too since he's not a real person either and yet being like you're just an AI you don't matter that would inevitably come up if they are Tron'd into the game seems like a shitty take that Goose wouldn't do.

>>149247704
>Saving the abstracted feels like a copout.
That's why I don't want it to happen.

>>149247722
Weren't you implying you prefer that to them being brain scans?

>>149247697
He seems like a cool chill guy

>>149247587
Literally just make attractive characters (personality and aesthetics) and you win.

>>149247587
Because he is a retard?

>>149247746
Yea but I don't like that either.

>>149244090

>>149246139

>>149247976
Looks more like a smiling friends character.

>>149247995
I don't know what Goose was thinking when adding Barflad in for a scene just to never show him again, the lore implications of having a character that almost vomits but doesn't do so on screen is crazy.

>>149248502
There are people out there but I see them more here than anywhere else. A lot of people over on Tumblr seem annoyed that Goose is treating a woman faking positivity as a trauma response as a bad person for being mean to Jax while setting Jax up as a secret sadboy despite him constantly abusing every other character and are stopping just short of calling Gooseworx sexist.

>>149248617
Boring since he got let out of prison. He still thinks that he is a goddess and never does anything but show off his custom Transformers and the occasional rambling stream.

>>149248591

Too bad Goose doesn’t know how women think.

>>149247593
It is the real you, the philosophical wrinkle is that there is another real you existing separate but parallel with increasingly diverging experiences, thus calling into question the nature of the self and individuality. Here's another thought, if a digitized copy of their mind is uploaded when they put on the headset, what happens if someone goes back and puts on the headset a second time? Do you get an exact duplicate of the existing digital person? Do you get the same mind in a different body? What happens when the copy starts having divergent experiences?

>>149248666
It is so weird though, it felt like a typical argument between Ragatha and Jax. They've always bickered over things and are at odds due to their personalities, so the argument was not TOO out there.
What was a problem however is Ragatha assuming that Jax is influencing Pomni in any way, and that assumption led to a outburst that was uncalled for. Jax is an instigator, so Ragatha should have known better, but she let him bait her into getting a bit too heated. Pomni already ended the entire conversation by saying she can think for herself, but Jax's additional comment sent Ragatha off the deep end.
If Ragatha had not been so irked by seeing Pomni getting more familiar with Jax, she might have noticed his goading was just making her look worse to Pomni.
Ragatha can absolutely salvage this though, if she were to accept that she can't be the good person all the time. Though I get the feeling that she is not going to change and will feel like the odd one out, even though no one actually dislikes her, she just set herself up to be what she is.

>>149248666
The fandom is just having a melty because the episode ended without a climactic resolution for the first time, creating a sort of character cliffhanger.

>>149246139
>>149246932
decided to draw him and come up with some more lore
>would be both avoidant and distrusting (even hostile) for quite a while when first joining, slowly getting accustom to the others eventually. caused by a mix of social anxiety and past life experiences
>actually really like being in the circus. thanks Caine every once and a while, encouraging him to do more.
>loves Pomni, Kinger, and Gangle the most since they are the most genuine and kind and/or are trying to be (espeically loves Kinger and Gangle due to his love of both animals and the arts). likes with Jax and Ragatha since they are fun to hang out with (though there personalities activate that flight or fight in his head), and bemoans Zooble due to her almost constant pessimism
>uses the adventures and the circus itself to escape, either going on his own to do other things in both, or trying to lead people on with him to explore

>>149248772
That still has the issue of Jax being blatantly insulting and abusive to others, except now with added manipulation. The problem with giving Jax a sadboy backstory is that it only explains behavior rather than excusing it and without any character growth he's still going to be a demeaning, hypocritical asshole.

>>149248720
Don't make me answer that or I'll spiral into an abyss of autism... but while we're at it.

If Zooble is like an assemblable toy, I was thinking of sticking to the toy theme. Something not so humanoid but not so abstract either. And connect it to some toy I've played with a lot in the past.

- I was thinking of a stuffed crocodile or a robotic dinosaur, but it seems too obvious and basic. Maybe something like a lego figure, or playmobil. A soldier type figure from the Napoleonic wars set and andventure who for some reason insists on telling they ‘she’, protecting they and praising every little thing they does as a huge achievement. That this annoys Zooble until it doesn't.

And, it wouldn't be someone from the outside world, it's an AI whose chaotic programming turned out to be hyper-fixed to Zooble.

So I don't have to worry about giving it a deep history, and I hint at Jax's line to Zooble about ‘testing the new AI’. The boy just want to be romantic to the triangle

>>149246769
My guess:
there is a NPC uprising and Jax has to kill all of them with guns, even Gumigoo

>>149248841
I swear this better be a swerve because if it goes the way I am worried that it is going where Jax gets a redemption while Ragatha keeps getting painted as the bad guy for having the least destructive mental illness/trauma response in the entire main cast I will be extremely disappointed. If Ragatha has to fucking genuinely apologize to Jax I will be unreasonably pissed.

>>149248841
Jax is still an asshole, but because he is one; you expect him to act accordingly. This is why that argument went bad for Ragatha.
You KNOW Jax is looking to rile you up.
You KNOW Jax is prodding and looking for some weakness.
You KNOW Jax will absolutely exploit it for a laugh at your expense.
This is why Ragatha made the wrong play, despite knowing Jax for so long, she was led by the nose still.
Jax's behavior and actions are still reflective of him, though you could argue that Ragatha has repeatedly chimed into conversations she wasn't a part of just to try and rope Pomni back to her side. Such as when Jax first began talking about Gangle, wondering if she will ever be happy, that was a rare moment and Pomni even seemed willing to engage to try and understand what he means, or if he actually cares at all. But Ragatha popped into the convo to steer it away by bringing attention to Jax's behavior. Yes, Jax is an asshole to Gangle, but that is obvious. Ragatha essentially popped in to remind them the sky is blue when Jax was about to have a moment. This behavior is what I believe clued Jax into what is going on with Ragatha, he realized she felt Pomni was being taken under his wing; so he played into it and even actively called her out for it.

TADC is just Fishtank the cartoon

None of this would have happened if Caine just allowed Ragatha and Jax to have hatesex

>>149248940
Nah, that is Drawn Together.

>>149248969
That’s just rewarding Jax for bad behavior.

>>149248915
Yeah that’s the worst case scenario. Ragatha’s problem is more subtle and underexplored so Goose might make the tremendous mistake of really making the point that it’s not good by having her act shitty and then apologizing. As a show of “fairness” to Jax.
Ragatha is pretty much exclusively self harming, through pretty much no fault of her own.

>>149248915
Goose has said a lot that Jax is a horrible person and that people are making too many excuses for him, so I doubt he'll get a true redemption arc.

>>149249022
He's not a good person, but I doubt he's irredeemably bad. It'll be unsatsifying if he doesn't develop into a better person.

>>149249089
I love funnybunny so much...

>>149248922
Jax's behavior has hallmarks of antisocial personality disorder and psychological abuse. Their implied past history plus her severe masking behavior about relationships means you can interpret him as intentionally tormenting and attempting to isolate her as a reprisal for a personal slight. Regardless of backstory, as is the best case scenario is Jax being a horrifically toxic human being, at worse an active sadist. Personally, if they give him the sob story background and don't have him grow or change they might as well release merch saying "I Love DARVO" with Jax on it.

>>149248834
I love their big sock limbs, cool design

>>149249089
>>149249109
It alright I guess. Better than BORINGgoo. I prefer Jax with Gangle and Zooble tho.

Jax worked in Ragatha's family corn fields and he was her cougar mom's reluctant boytoy. Case closed, this explains everything about their dynamic

>>149248915
Purge the Flaw of Nature

>>149249121
I could see your point, if Ragatha hadn't engaged first. If her butting into his and Pomni's conversation during Stargazing led to him feeling slighted and taking it out on her, then she did actually bring it upon herself for trying to keep tabs on Pomni leading her into the fire. Ragatha could have easily sat with everyone else and enjoyed the scenery and sandwiches, but she instead chose to try and keep Pomni from being influenced by Jax.
In a way, Ragatha's controlling behavior is her downfall for the episode. Eavesdropping, butting into convos, making it apparent she doesn't like Pomni and Jax becoming "friends". She gave Jax all the ammunition and pissed him off beforehand as a bonus.
I do think Ragatha should open up more and be more honest with what she feels, rather than acting nice all the time. And I know Jax is not going to just flop over and become better for nothing.

What do you think Jax wanted to show Pomni in the hallway?
I hope it was him slamming her against it before dragging her into his room

Jax is 100% an npc. He is the only one that addresses the viewer. His license plate during the spudsy adventure is Jax.001
Then in the most recent episode he realizes Cain was able to make him vegan despite not having control over their minds.
My theory is that Cain made a copy of him during an adventure and then got them mixed up. Which is why Cain looks so traumatized in episode 2 when talking about keeping track of who is a player and who is an npc.

>>149249224
>The real Jax is out there somewhere

>>149249078
Unsatisfying for you maybe. I watched enough Hero Academia where I am fucking tired of abusive dudes getting treated with kid's gloves and would rather get an unrepentant shithead instead of a guy who acts like a dick as a self-defense mechanism because his gay frog boyfriend died or something.

>>149249209
Pomni is very slutty she wouldn’t take much convincing from any man.

>>149247976
hi zach

>>149249224
that would also explain Jax remembering having a tail despite not having it

BRAVO GOOSE

>>149249209

>>149249224
You guys are assuming the theory that Jax is an NPC simply because you can't tolerate the idea of humans as evil as Jax existing?

>>149249258
Hence why I have been complaining since the last episode came out.

>>149249022
>>149249078
pretty sure goose specifically used the word "unforgivable"

>>149249264
How would they have sex? Neither of them have any genitalia.

>>149249306
psychological sex

>>149249306
Circus sex involves a lot of dry humping/kissing/groping and trying to achieve mentalgasm.

>>149249224
I forgot to include: jax refuses to show the others what happens when he holds his breath. That probably because nothing happens since he's an npc.

>>149249241
Why is this frog so slutty

nta human Jax can still be as big of a jerk as the npc one, it's a copy of the real deal
not saying he is but yknow

>>149249224
>>149249342
The main reason why I don't think this theory is true is because I don't think it would add anything interesting to the narrative being told and so far Goose hasn't added any pointless lore bombs like that.

>>149249241
>>149249347
>>149249365
>>149249387
So do you guys think this frog is a girl or is he a guy that drank the chemicals in the water?

>>149249407
I hope he's a guy, but I also hope he wasn't a fag but Jax was and that's why he abstracted

>>149249407
I hope the frog is the kind of person that when you ask them "hey are you a boy or a girl?" they say "oh wouldn't you like to know" and then they wink at you in a sultry way and then walk off but they never actually tell you.

>>149249431

Can anyone actually point out where in the last 5 episodes jax was anything other than a cartoonish troll. Yes being an ass and not taking others feelings into account, but he's still playing within the boundaries of the circus. I don't see where people are calling him evil.
>>149249004
>>149249188
Ragatha's issues is she neurotic and suffering from emotional problems. She's not going to calm down and open up because she doesn't see herself as the problem.
>>149249297
Unforgivable, to who? That's the open question. There's small chance we already saw it.

>>149249188
It's kind of irrelevant whether or not Ragatha engages because his behavior is pretty consistent regardless.

>>149249156
In the red hot summer of 1992...

>>149249334
theoretically, circus sex would feel better than regular frick frackin' on virtue of being extremely intimate, relying on understanding the sensations with your partner in a deep connectedness while building up to a shared orgasm

or if Caine could be convinced it would be a super freaky funhouse thing and idk how I feel about that

>>149249570
>Can anyone actually point out where in the last 5 episodes jax was anything other than a cartoonish troll.
He dropped Ragatha into a deep fryer. The characters can die, but they sure as hell can feel pain.

>>149249297
The unforgivable thing will be him revealing how asexual and sex-repulsed he is, which will in turn make all the fags and girls who fantasize sex w/ him crumble to dust

>>149249626
Did this stop the Alastor fangirls?

i think the biggest issue i have with the show is that the whole "early pre-rendered PC game" artstyle is a lot less prevalent than in the first episode.
realistic looking areas have been used a lot now, it was cool in the pilot when pomni enters the offices because its such a stark artstyle change, but now you just get that realistic look in regular adventures.

Haha imagine having a digital orgasm and at the same time an orgasm in your human body

>>149249570
Anon, being a silly troll (which in this case includes being as violent as possible within the PG confines and doing shit like deep frying and shooting his fellow prisoners for fun but still) is pretty much all he can do. This is also a setting where if you fuck with somebody's mental state enough they become an actual mindless monster and get sent to purgatory.

>>149249643
Again.
You guys are assuming the theory that Jax is an NPC simply because you can't tolerate the idea of humans as evil as Jax existing?

>>149249648
Yeah

>>149249570
It is cartoonish trolling if others can have a laugh too. He mostly just antagonizes the others and pokes at them for his own amusement, which makes him an asshole. Not exactly evil, though his flippant attitude could lead to him willingly or unwittingly doing something awful. For as much as he knows, most of his actions are dismissed because it is expected of him, though he only gets away with it because no one actually got hurt seriously or abstracted because of it. The moment he crosses that threshold and causes someone to abstract or hurts them in a really bad way is when all of this behavior will catch up to him.
>>149249571
It is relevant in the Stargazing scene because Pomni would have wanted to know what Jax was actually thinking for once, rather than his usual behavior. Ragatha butts into the convo to chastise Jax when he actually started showing some concern for someone else for once, this easily could have been a moment for him to reflect or really consider what makes Gangle happy or upset; or try to understand someone else in some way. Pomni has been able to communicate with them all openly due to her being so new, and her genuine questions and wanting to help others is a part in why she can manage to learn about everyone else.
Even if it is just Jax's opinion or thoughts, he knew Gangle longer than Pomni, so whatever he would have said about trying to understand Gangle would have possibly helped Pomni learn more about her too. (And how Jax sees her or what motivates him to act the way he does toward her.)
Ragatha kind of stepped all over that due to her own insecurities, and she pays for it for the rest of the episode. That controlling behavior almost seems to be punished in some way.

>>149241894 (OP)
i know a girl like this IRL (though nowhere near as filthy), and shes 3 inches taller than me (im 5'7")
super cute voice, laughs really hard at stupid things (strange considering shes like a clinical depressive), has a face like a brown girl chudjak

>>149249677 (me)
Correction: Jax has shown concern before for others, but I think this is the first time Jax had outwardly spoken about someone else and expressed something akin to concern for them.
It was a more vocal and direct level of interest as opposed to the more reactionary or spontaneous times before.

>Oh Jaxxy boy ~ it's time for someone to enter this little rabbit ~ rabbit hole

>>149249661
not at all, (ive met genuinely evil people so i'd know)
i dont think jax is really even evil, just an asshole whos only way of coping with his existence is causing chaos and getting a rise out of people
i just think the theory is a really cool idea for a premise which is all about AI and personhood and identity

>>149249725
You can't fool me, that is Evil Orbsman from the Evil Big Tops back there.

>>149249725
I want to abuse Jax and see his submissive side, damn shit

>>149249725
buff gangle

>>149249733
If you want a crazy outlandish theory.
What if the mannequin is Jax, but his mind got swapped with the mannequin NPC and he is merely observing as the NPC that assumed his Jax identity is systematically ruining his image and acting out. Eventually wanting to reclaim his original body, but unsure how to do so when everyone is together. so he is left to observe the impostor until an opportunity arrives.

>>149249705
>strange considering shes like a clinical depressive
Sometimes laughing at dopey shit is all you have to get you through the day.

>>149241919
>>149243429
These are too cute, gangle is a community college dropout weeaboo girl who worked in fast food.
She should be just a little gross looking.

OP's pic is overkill though. like way overkill. shave 130 pounds off of her and you're in the right ballpark though. Bad posture, little bit of acne, definitely a little greasy.

>>149249753
With how far Gangle can throw things, it is not outside the realm of possibility that she is actually pretty strong. Her meek personality is just holding her back. If she wanted, she could have beat Jax with the whole frying assembly, but she chose to be merciful and instead conduct an MK Ultra program on him.

>>149249725
Good lord source please

>>149249624
>>149249677
>>149249660
Ragatha didn't seem to care that much about the deep fryer. She didn't care that much about the spike either. In fact, she probably wasn't in pain at all, just annoyed. Keep in mind, this episode opens up that he seems to care, at least about gangle, and by his own words thinks everyone would feel better if they took advantage of their situation. It looks like his rivalry with zooble and Ragatha stems from a clash of philosophy, rather simple hate. I would argue, because the episode dropped some hints, that he doesn't dislike Ragatha at all and actually is worried about her. Plus, he didn't know about queenie, so we'll have to see where that goes.
>>149249661
Why do you keep calling him evil?

>>149249797
lol
lmao
come on now

>>149249823
Because he is.

>>149249823
By your standards what could he even do to be evil in this setting?
If torturing people for his own amusement isn't that I really don't know what could be.

>>149241894 (OP)
I can save her
>>149241919
Too cute. Doesn't need saving

>>149249823
He did mention how annoyed he was that Ragatha acts like everything is fine when it isn't. Showing the whole "being trapped in a digital space" might be losing its charm to him.
And you're right, the whole getting knocked around is more an inconvenience for them. Though I do think if Jax picked the wrong moment to act out, he could easily mess up the others sense of stability. So far, Pomni has managed to get by in the situations that Jax tossed her into. But that easily could change if his lackadaisical attitude ends up putting one of them into a situation they really can't stand. For instance, Gangle, if he were to just act in a moment without really thinking about it since he did it all before; but then it causes her to abstract instead of the usual mask breaking shenanigans, that'd be a major mistake on his part whether he knew it was going to result in that or not.

>>149241894 (OP)
reminds me of Mossacanibalis's depiction of a female ogryn

>jax does not have toe beans in the show
>the burger jax plush has toe beans
Why?

>>149249959
Of gangle abstracted, he'd feel horrible, and if he was responsible, he'd need therapy before he abstracted.
>>149249907
You keep saying torture. The word you're looking for is annoy and at worst, torment. If it was literally torture and not an exaggeration if the word, then no one would be hanging out him in their down time, which they clearly do, and they'd. probably have ganged up on him by now.

>>149242008
The bigger thing is that they have their memories from before the circus.

They remember how they got there, but just won't talk about it for some reason.

>>149242329
Here's another thing, at the baseball game Jax implied that he knew the rules that Caine has to follow. One of them was that Caine can't make changed to them. The voting system circumnavigated this because they were the ones to instigate it.

If there is any memory loss, it was done by a person, not an AI. Ether: A) Some mastermind erased their memories or B) they did this to themselves It sounds like no one liked who they were outside, so this is their escape.

>>149249823
>In fact, she probably wasn't in pain at all, just annoyed.
they do feel pain as if it were real according to goose, but i think since ragatha's been there so long and been on so many adventures where shit happens she can just tank it at this point

>>149250258
I know this is a Ben 10 reference but it feels like something out of an Archie Comics TADC book.

>>149249823
>she probably wasn't in pain at all, just annoyed
Zooble was shown reacting to getting burned in that same episode. That shit clearly still hurts.

>>149250418
ragatha has also been shown being fully impaled and not reacting at all

>>149250454
She’s probably used to it

>>149250418
>>149250454
I think whether they can feel pain is selective and based on rule of funny. Also, it's entirely possible that zooble burning herself specifically caused by caine screwing with her.

>>149250315
>ragatha's been there so long
>she can just tank it at this point
Ragatha being the softest looking one yet being capable of tanking and -mostly- shrugging off all sort of pain is fascinating, literally made for rough play

>>149242218
You can lose fucking legs from being fat. You ever want motivation for a diet visit a /fph/ thread on /fit/.

All the people who downplay being stuck in the circus as something they'd enjoy being trapped in are worrisome, It's not about how you'd win the circus by actually liking it, it's still a hell to be locked in that way out of your life no matter how horrible it was or how unfulfilled you were.

Ragatha absolutely had a hard time adjusting -kinger says as much- and she had an absolutely terrible upbringing, I bet she spent years trying to find a way out (while keeping a positive attitude over it) even if it mean returning to an abusive family and a dead end job probably shedding away her hopes as the new normal settled in.

>>149250600
It's only due to us having more information than the characters.
The reality of the scenario is that you happen upon a computer with a VR headset and you decided to just check it out, since it seems harmless enough. And now you are trapped permanently in some place you've never seen before, with people you don't know and an entity coordinating adventures for everyone's enjoyment.
It really is terrifying.

Yeah, although I don't throw away the idea that some abstracted characters may have heard of this magical VR game that made your isekai dreams come true only to be crushed by the reality of being stuck in some funky circus playing adventures as a worm on a string or whatever.

real answer: Gumigoo

That’d actually be pretty funny, though I doubt they’d do that since we’ve already seen that their “real” world is also animated. Would their VAs play their live action selves or would they get different actors?

How long would it take Pomni to lose her role as the protagonist to Jax seeing as it was obvious that no one at Archie knew how to write a woman?

His name is Ronko and he is cool

>>149250895
This guy's always been my favorite. He'd be cool at the start but the adventures would get to him over time and he'd definitely abstract like all the others not seen.

It would be hilarious as a gag like if Caine made an adventure and had a similar style change like the 2D anime part but it was an "rtx on" shit, just have the VAs wearing masks of the characters and have them do the adventure like that.

Bonus points if the place where they are doing the adventure just has the same 3d style as always but with irl props around for the cast to use

>>149250940
keyword "if"

>>149251032
True, but based on the current circus members those are good odds.

>>149250940
Pomni’s empathy radar powers would detect pretty quickly that you were a loser irl. Even if you take the opportunity to lock in and make a good impression, being this positive about the circus means you had a shit life.
