Imagine if Caine would use Ribbit as an NPC for the next adventure, giving Jax a mental breakdown

Is C&A abandoned? This was Pomni's reply when asked how she ended up in the circus.

Remember this line in the pilot?

It sounds like the gap between Pomni joining and whoever last joined was quite a while. That doesn't sound likely if the circus was actively being monitored.

"Some weird headset"

Pomni didn't know what she was getting into when she put on the headset. No one else has ever described something like that. Maybe Pomni was going through an abandoned C&A building and put the headset on for shits and giggles, not expecting it to work, because nothing was working.

This does somewhat contradict my previous theory that Caine was actively being monitored, though it is possible that Caine doesn't know everyone who was working on him is gone anymore. A computer running not knowing it's creators don't care about it anymore.

I guess the one little oddity the theory doesn't explain is Pomni arriving in the circus the same day Kaufmo abstracted. That does seem like a mighty big coincidence to happen if someone didn't actively send Pomni in as a replacement because they knew Kaufmo was gone. Not impossible, but definitely unlikely. IDK, I'm not definitively saying that this is what happened, just throwing out what came into my mind when I first heard that line.

So after TADC's 5th episode, a lot of little details about the circumstances of the Circus have been revealed:

1. C&A has moved or been fully shut down for long enough that the building housing the Circus has been considered abandoned. For that to happen, you'd need a good 10 years of neglect, I'd say.

2. Pomni and Zooble both got trapped while exploring the abandoned C&A building. (Zooble is the second-newest, according to Gooseworx)

3. It's modern day out there, with Youtube and whatnot. Remembering that the Digital Circus is a late-90s era PC game, that means Kinger has probably been trapped in the Circus for around 25 years. For perspective, he's been in there for longer than Gangle, Jax, and Zooble have been ALIVE. No WONDER he's crazy!

4. This is further emphasized by the fact that nobody else knew about Kinger's wife. For that to happen, you'd need two degrees of separation from when she abstracted: both the people that knew her AND the people that knew OF her are gone. How many abstracted people have been entirely forgotten? How many people has Kinger seen lose themselves?

5. Caine's general looniness may not JUST be the result of him running non-stop for so long. The physical hardware hosting the Circus is likely starting to degrade after so much time. Eventually it WILL give out entirely, assuming it isn't being maintained. The fact that it's still receiving electricity despite the building supposedly being "abandoned" DOES imply someone is trying to maintain the circus, though!

6. If C&A is abandoned then nobody is maintaining the characters' physical bodies. The fact that nobody's died implies their consciousnesses are fully severed from their bodies. This also means that they probably CAN'T escape from the Circus, because they have no bodies to return to.

7. HOWEVER the fact that Pomni didn't mention seeing any decaying bodies when finding the headset implies they're either being moved, or there are many different headset that all lead to the Circus. Either way, it feels like someone on the outside is working to maintain the Circus's existence for some reason...

I appreciate how kind Pomni’s character is, I just really like empathetic and compassionate characters. It’s so easy for everyone else to write off Jax because he is a grade A asshole, but Pomni genuinely wants to understand why he’s like it.

Also I just love the way Ragatha looks upset at Pomni and Jax getting along

MMM I JUST LOVE NUANCED CHARACTERS AND THEIR DYNAMICS

[legally-distinct-corpse]

Sucks to see people already faulting Pomni for being buddies with Jax.

Her friendliness towards him in episode 5 is 100% a reactive response to him being more down-to-earth and friendly with her first, juxtaposing their early interactions in episodes 1-3.

Though I’m not entirely convinced yet that Jax has 100% goody goody intentions being chummy with Pomni, Pomni being nice back DOES make sense. She is stuck in a digital nightmare circus world with only 5 other real people. If one of those people who was unpleasant before starts being more chill, of course she will be receptive. She doesn’t want to be completely miserable.

Also, regardless of what you think of Jax morally, which I do respect, it’s clear no one in the circus at this point thinks of him as truly evil. They just think he’s an asshole. So it’s not shocking that if he started being nicer someone would be nice back.

jokes to make after failure that aren’t self-deprecating:

I’m the best to ever do it

Nobody saw that (best if said loudly)

No one’s ever done it like me

I could be President/they should make me President

Behold, a mere fraction of my power!

The public wants to be me soooooo bad

I’m an expert in (thing you just failed at)

How could this have happened to god’s favorite princess?

Nothing ibuprofen and a glass of water cant fix

I’m being sabotaged
