#i wouldnt be doing so to try and get into a relationship

[aaasdgnklm]

I really want Mane to come back in uu maybe its just cause I’m a Mane enjoyer and I’m sure hes busy irl or smthn but I really, really want him to come back as a villain for honestly anyone

originally I thought Wemmbu would be the coolest to have Mane as a villain, because it would be good to see how Wemmbu has grown since the Mane training arc and have Mane either praise or ridicule Wemmbus progress. it would also seriously fuck Wemmbu up, having someone that he looked up to so much and has been more or less friends with since the prince Zam empire arc not only try to kill him but actively hate him. this could either be because Wemmbu didnt trust Mane and left him, or because someone else intervened and gave Mane a reason to kill Wemmbu (yes another hired assassin arc ik), or maybe there was something Wemmbu did on accident or offhandedly that was a personal slight to Mane. maybe Mane has bigger plans and needs Wemmbu out of the way for them, similar to Ashs view on Parrot(note! I havent finished parrots pov that might be a shit take on ash as a villain for parrot). maybe Mane wants Wemmbus mace, since i dont think he has one and its directly referenced as part of Manes fighting style and is already shown to be important to him, being the initial reason Mane decides to train Wemmbu. whatever his reason, I would love to see Mane and Wemmbus semi rocky but overall very good (for wemmbu) relationship go seriously sour. Wemmbu would be hesitant to fight him and they would both be a little too familiar with each others combat style and the insults or jabs they would exchange would be cutting.

on the other hand, Mane could also be a really good enemy for Flame. its established from Wemmbus videos that they had a relationship either before or during princezam empire, and theyve had SOME kind of problem since Mane betrayed. so Mane pretty much already has a motivation and Mane would actually get Flames attention, even without the insane levels of annoyance the toxic players had to reach before Flame considered them an issue. also it would be a really really cool way to explore Flames past, considering he was such an important antagonist for multiple s1 protags and has clearly been a major player on the server in general, even though we only get to see him in a ver specific light. but seeing Flames past relationships, obviously I’m thinking about with Mane but even with Zam or Sorrin, and seeing what they think of him now- god that could be cool. and similar to the idea with Wemmbu, Mane could be a serious threat because he knows Flame, or at least he did. Mane could reasonably be someone who would know Flame well enough to pose a serious threat, maybe Mane couldnt take him in a straight fight but if Mane got a mace or if hes playing mind games with Flame, he could use his knowledge of how Flames brain works to always stay one step ahead. this could also work with the foreshadowing of Lomedys friend and ego being Flames downfall, since Flame would assume Mane is less of a threat because he knows hes better at pvp than Mane, which Mane would use to probably lure him into a trap. Mane has been trying to i think kill Flame for a while now, so ofc hed continue with that maybe with some new weapon hes been busy getting for the past few months. maybe hes had to travel trillions of blocks to find an undestroyed trial chamber for a mace.

but also also, playing off of the idea I had while watching Wemmbus new tournament video, what if we did both? what if Mane came back to fight Flame, but because of Flame and Wemmbus friendly rivalry, he keeps running into Wemmbu too. even better, maybe the first time or first few times Wemmbu and Mane are almost avoiding each other- theyre both fighting Flame, they used to be friends, so they should work together, but it feels wrong. their opinions on him and feelings about Flame are so different and they best they can bring themselves to do is to not get in each others way. ofc, that wouldnt work for long, and at some point Mane would start trying to kill Wemmbu too, which could lead to Wemmbu deciding to put the fight with Flame on hold to deal with the much bigger and more genuine threat of Mane. the banter would be crazy, Wemmbu and Flame would be constantly arguing and butting heads, maybe to the point that one of them leaves at some point(maybe wemmbu to work with mane again). and since all three of them know each other so well, any and all comments and tactics would be incredibly personal and emotional.

I also wouldnt mind Mane being a villain for Parrot or Spoke for a completely unrelated reason, like hes trying to kill one of them and they accidentally run into Wemmbu or Flame and Mane is just like are you serious not this guy again. Maybe Spoke invades his base too, or Wifies hires Mane as a guard for Parrot(I personally dont think he will be hiring any guards or anything because he wont trust them with parrot but yk). it would be really cool for a character with history to show up somewhere that ISNT their history, like Minute showing up in Wemmbus video. if Mane showed up in Spoke or Parrots pov and either his past isnt mentioned or its only talked about indirectly(looking at minutes ‘you dont want to become the villain of your own story’ that was NOT about our purple bug </3), I would still go feral.

this ideas are combinable, I also really like the idea that Mane or anyone honestly causes problems for every protag, similar to Ash, and forces the gang together. but also what if each problem was like personal, where each of the protagonists genuinely fucking hates Mane for their own reason. in s1 Wemmbu specifically didnt really have a reason for hating Ash, he just happened to dislike someone working with Ash and it was pretty much just convenient for him to team up with Parrot and Spoke. he didnt have a lot of emotional stakes in it, it was more like Ash was causing problems for everyone and Wemmbu was coincidentally an everyone. but Mane could have personal beef with each protagonist- using the ideas I have already, Mane comes back to try to kill Flame and as a side hustle to get him rich and shit he works for the Director to keep Parrot trapped somewhere (maybe Parrot manages to get away from Wifies and Mane gets hired to track him down). While doing this, Spoke starts fucking with his base(probably after loot Wifies gave him) and Wemmbu is also trying to fight Flame at the same time. Its a lot of layers and moving pieces, but i really like it when everyone has multiple things going on at the same time and theyre all overwhelmed n shit. Parrot would be mainly dealing with Wifies and Mane would just be someone Wifies hired, Spoke would just be being spoke, Wemmbu could be trying to balance his morals and pick between two people he hates, and Flame kind of gets the short end of it all with Mane and Wemmbu giving him grief.

I just want a serious villain with emotional baggage guys I love uu but I’m so sick of faceless underdeveloped unimportant villains

more stuff i found/more timeline thoughts

mostly inspired by this post by bibi

okay so first i wanna adjust a lot of the years of the timeline a bit. the post mentioned that zooble hadnt been there that long before pomni. i also forgot that goose confirmed ages for characters, so everything gets pushed back a few years. ragathas is now gonna be 2013 rather than 06, kaufmo is now 2014 instead of 09, jax and ribbit are now 2017 and not 2012, gangle is now 2019 and not 2015, zooble is 2022 and not 2018, and pomni stays at 2023.

this does throw off the whole "longest time without an abstraction" but fucks with jax a lot so the angst balances out for me. it also means the abstractions are happening more often, possibly from the circus starting to glitch out more intensely

the post also mentions the idea of zooble and gangle having not seen an abstraction, which i like. my thoughts now are that jax was there when ribbit abstracted, possibly in physical contact when it happened, and it was *devastating*. in order to try and protect the new members, gangle wasnt told about ribbit and (lets be honest, it was ragathas idea) was distracted when they noticed the signs of the last unnamed player abstracting. zooble also wasnt told about the previous abstraction when they arrived.

anyways. this means that kaufmo was the first abstraction that gangle and zooble actually witnessed in any real capacity.

speaking of that, age thoughts!

okay so confirmed ages (in 2023) are

jax, 22, born 2001

zooble, 22, born 2001

pomni, 25, born 1998

gangle, 26, born 1997

ragatha, 30, born 1993

kinger, 48, born 1975

so, based on these ages and my revised timeline of when they joined the circus, (and assuming the ages are their current day ages and not the ages they joined the circus), kinger joined at the age of 25, ragatha at 20, jax at 16, gangle at 20, zooble at 21, and pomni at 25.

im also assuming that jax and ribbit were the same age, so yes, im implying that jax watched their childhood friend "die" in their arms before they even got halfway through highschool.

and speaking of angsty implications. oh boy do i have thoughts about how the fuck an abandoned building managed to keep paying its power bill enough to run the digital circus for almost a quarter of a century with no maintainence. right now im torn between two possible ways that this works. either the bodys are absorbed into the circus with the minds, or they arent. if they are, then it means that someone working for/with C&A are actively luring people into the circus when they notice the signs of an abstraction in order to maintain 6 players. if the bodys *dont* travel into the circus however, then not only are they lured into putting on the headset and replacing the abstractinf member, but someone is then collecting the body and moving it to avoid suspicion near the headset. why would they do this? fuck if i know tbh, im just mentally ill about this animated horror show. but it does mean they lured two teenagers to go missing inside the circus. anyways im gonna transition to backstory implications now and why each person was chosen for the circus!

first off, easiest to explain. kinger worked for C&A. all the initial circus members probably worked on it or were specially invited like queenie due to a connection on the team. the team going missing couldve been covered up by C&A

next up, most explicit backstory, ragatha! she very clearly had a... complicated... relationship with her mother, and growing up on a farm was possibly very isolated from everyone else growing up. this combined with her more anxious and aggressively positive nature pushed people away and she likely had nobody who wouldve gone looking for her when she entered the circus and vanished.

gangle, fairly sad, but its implied she was very isolated and depressed, and possibly entered the abandoned C&A building to end her life in a secluded area where it wouldnt catch any attention, thus she also had nobody to go looking for her when she disappeared

zooble. zooble fucks up my ideas like the queer icon they are. they seem pretty well adjusted and had fairly normal jobs where they wouldve made a lot of connections, i cant really explain how nobody would go looking for them. either C&A covered it up, or they got desperate when players started abstracting faster and didn't care

pomni is similar, but untitled does make a point to say nobody watched her YouTube videos and that she explored the abandoned buildings out of boredom, so this could imply she didnt really have friends and nobody looked either.

jax. oh the angst with jax. for this timeline, hes not only the youngest irl but also the youngest by far to enter the circus. when everyone else was talking about their adult jobs and the lives they had before the circus he simply recited a tv show that he had seen. not wanting the others to realize that he didnt have the same life that they did. jax looks away when ragatha talks about her mom, almost like he understands not having anyone to guide you. but at least he had ribbit right? jax and ribbit were just kids when they arrived. ribbit was still just a kid when they abstracted. and jax was still just a kid when they watched it happen.

anyways, sorry for the angst, love yall, ill add more to this later probably

Quick lil TADC timeline cuz hyperfixation

While we dont have much to go off for a lot of this, theres a few things that do lead to a rough timeline of events for when everyone got to the circus and how they got there. if ive gotten anything wrong or missed anything that goose has confirmed before then please correct me. also obv this is all mostly theories so might change with new episodes or based on how you interpret my proof. while i dont have any proof in universe for specific years i mention, ill be giving specific yearss for thematic reasons towards the end.

Sometime in the vauge past, though judging by the computer and kingers age id guess around late 90's, C&A creates The Amazing Digital Circus for... reasons. It is a virtual reality multiplayer game in which the helpful artificial inteligence of Caine creates fun short adventures for the players to go on. Something in this development goes wrong and during testing, at least two players are "trapped" within the game. Since Kinger has been in the circus the longest and has 7 years of computer science experience it makes sense he worked for C&A and was the first to enter the circus.

Kinger, his wife Queenie, and 4 others enter the circus in 2000, and sometime later Queenie is the first to abstract. I believe this happened before anyone in the main cast entered since the others didnt really seem to know about her.

Based on the crossed off doors weve seen at various points, we know of at least 12 players who have abstracted. Based on the trend of a new circus member entering when an abstraction happens, I believe that Queenie and 4 others all abstracted and were replaced with new players, the next player to abstract brings in Ragatha.

Ragatha enters sometime in the mid 00s, id guess around 06' based on nothing but vibes. She mentions being in real estate and was possibly looking around the now defunct C&A building attempting to prep it for sale when she found the headset.

Slight weird idea, but i think it makes sense. Next to join the circus was Kaufmo. we know very little about kaufmo so hes here mostly because it just feels weird for him to have joined after jax and gangle did. he joins sometime around 09'.

at this point in the timeline weve had Queenie and 6 unnamed players abstract, the most recent two having been replaced by ragatha and kaufmo. the circus currently consists of Kinger, Ragatha, Kaufmo, and 3 unnamed players.

2 of those players abstract fairly close together and are replaced by Jax and Ribbit. This happens sometime around 12' since jax makes the breaking bad refference in ep 5 and that didnt really have major success until it was added to netflix in 2011. Jax and Ribbit likely went in together and knew each other outside the circus like Kinger and Queenie did, but after over a decade in the circus (plus seeing 9 abstractions already) Kinger has become unstable enough to not mention any similarities. Jax and Ribbit were very close.

Sometime later, ill say 15', Ribbit abstracts and is replaced by Gangle, which seems to have deeply affected Jax. This likely caused his tail to fall off as that can happen to rabbits due to injury or trauma, alongside him symbolicly losing a part of himself with Ribbit. Based on his manerisms its also likely that he blames himself in some way for Ribbits abstraction, anger which he externalizes and takes out on Gangle

A few years later the last unnamed player is abstracted and replaced with Zooble, ill say sometime around 18' for thematic reasons in the next point. We know Zooble enjoyed to look around abandoned buildings and likely found the headset inside the now very abandoned C&A building that Ragatha was attempting to sell.

Its now 2023 and our current cast is Kinger (in the circus for roughly 23 years), Ragatha, (~18 years), Kaufmo (~16 years), Jax (~11 years), Gangle (~8 years), and Zooble (~5 years). Queenie and 10 unnamed players have abstracted, many of them within the first 5 years of the circus first being created. its been roughly 5 years since the last abstraction, the longest period of "peace" since the circus first opened at the turn of the century.

Kaufmo then abstracts and is replaced by Pomni. She was exploring an abandoned building and found the headset, putting it on and finding herself in the digital circus. She tries to leave but its too late. Kaufmo has abstracted, and she is now trapped.

To Pomni its meaningless, at least when compared to everything else going on. To Zooble its a coincidence that they both joined right as another abstracted. to Gangle its a pattern and another cause of anxiety. To Jax, its a sign that maybe it wasnt his fault, that he doesnt need to lash out any more. To Ragatha its another tradgey, another lost friend. And to Kinger, its another one who he hopes can find some peace and quiet inside the darkness of the Cellar, just like how Queenie found some peace and quiet inside their fort together.

I dont believe any of the main cast will properly abstract. theyll definitely get close for the sake of stakes and drama, but the circus seems to like having 6 cast members at a time.

okay ramble time now

ooo wow writing out this timeline was really fun for me, i absolutely love it tbh and it became way more then i was initially intending. my initial post was just gonna be "Kinger and Queenie joined first, then it went ragatha, jax, ribbit, gangle, zooble, pomni" and then it just kept growing as i looked through more of the wiki and everything kinda fell into place for me. this is definitely not the full extent of the theories i believe (saw someone say C&A could mean Caine and Abel and i love that. also love the trans jax truthers, idk if ill fully commit it to my headcanons, but i do appreciate yall) so i might make more scattered posts about theories and headcanons, but this is a good balance between every thought i have about this show and the barebones "what order they joined" timeline i initially planned to make.

Just to be clear: Rook does not save Lucanis. Lucanis saves Lucanis. Lucanis gets himself out of the Ossuary in his head, Rook just gives him a safe space in which to figure out what that means for him. They fall in love because they like each other, actually.

Johan with a gun kink is fine and all but Anna Liebert with a gun kink is just ✨ chef's kiss ✨.

She probably has no qualms over pulling the gun during your sex sessions. Might even fuck her darling with it (it's not loaded but her darling doesn't need to know that 💋). She probably licks the tip of her gun, before sliding it in her darling's mouth/pussy. This is probably when she's feeling extra sadistic and wants to see her darling in that fear and aroused state while anna just laughs and fucks her darling harder . She's a disgusting menace (affectionate)

anon, anon, wait. Anon wait WAIT WAITTTT WAITTTTTTT THE KITCHEN IS ON FIRE. KEEP COOKING.

No because the gun basically becomes another way for anna to have a dick...................... making darling deep throat it like if it were her actual cock.

Speaking of cock, hear me out anon hear me out... But imagine if anna uses a freaking revolver on darling instead of a pistol here. That way, when anna slides it inside those gummy walls, she can goad darling for a little game of russian roulette.

Tw: gunplay, and slight talks of necro ( NOT REALLY. It's just anna egging you because whats a little gunplay without genuine fear of dying), and uh... Dollification, and also body mutilation mention.

Just the pure FEAR of you laying there, legs spread because she told you if you try to close your legs on her, she'll pull the trigger.

So you do your best to be obedient and listen and take in everything even though you're unable to feel the pleasure anymore through the sheer numbing shock and fear of you getting fucking SHOT down there.

and the cockiness (and slight insanity) comes in when anna, knowing the next might be blank, pulls the trigger while its still inside.

The full bodied sob that flinches throughout your body when you both hear the click of the gun while its so far deep in your pussy is enough to make annas brain go haywireeeee. The gun is so far deep in you, you can practically feel the cold metal nudge against your cervix.

All while you have this blonde maniac on top of you pulling the trigger and goading you if you might not be so lucky next time, and how she'll miss you dearly if that were the case. But dont worry baby, she wont find anyone else.

No, no you're it for her.

She'll find a way to still keep you all warm for her even after. She's got a way around dead bodies you know? And she'll keep yours extra nice and pretty, keep you in a nice glass storage like a doll. You want that? Wanna be her little babydoll all clean and pretty and hers to play with whenever she wants to play house? no?

Well then how about you be a good little girl, do the sign of the cross infront of her right now, yes right now- don't make her repeat herself, and say a little prayer that the next click won't be the one that'll put a hole in your womb.

I know that, as of right now, Lucy and Maximus are the canon relationship in the show (and I like them together)... But I can't help but think that the show has the perfect opportunity to use Dane and Maximus as commentary on the way queer people in the military were treated in that era (40s-50s) and what their lives were like, if they decide to make Dane and Maximus have at least a little thing together...

Not to get deep here or anything but i really think i dont want to have a relationship with my sister anymore and ive been reflecting on that a lot. like sure she didnt abuse me or really do anything to directly traumatize me, but she voted against me having human rights because im queer, as well as voting for a party that wants to harm first nations people despite both of us being first nations i just.... i dont think i can forgive her for that. weve had laughs and good times together but i find myself unable to forgive her for her politics. i wouldn't tolerate bigotry from anyone else, i shouldnt tolerate it from someone just cause theyre family.
