If I went on a whole tangent on how Caine was actually the reason why Queenie abstracted and messed with Kinger’s mind to avoid responsibility would you guys read it?

He knew they were trying to screw him over somehow

Here is another thing, if Jax didn’t know what they were voting for why did he vote against it? Or did he just do the same thing as Pomni, trusting her? Idk

Hello how are the babys? Anything new happening with you?

A few days ago, the chicks got to free roam with the adult chickens (with supervision of course), and I added a few more of the younger chicks that are starting to fly to their enclosure

Other than that, not much has changed from my routine

How about you?

Funny that the opposite of a King is a Dictator

A theory on the Evils - Coach Dictatorer (Evil Kinger?)

[Check out this post for more context]

Evil Kinger/Coach Dictatorer is cold, authoritarian and just generally looks... mean.

In Kinger's eyes, someone who leads without their heart could be evil.

Remember that time Kinger was talking to Pomni about life in the circus? The worst thing you can do is...

... making someone feel like they're not wanted or loved.

What if that's why he's so supportive of everyone, in his own way? Maybe he considers himself responsible of the others, and to him, to lead, you have to do it from the bottom of your heart.

We know he identifies with the "king" aspect of his character (as shown in the pilot, where he says to the Gloinks Queen "As a royal myself..."). We also see that he encourages people and cheers with them when they win (as seen in ep.5 when Ragatha "gets" another homerun and wins the game).

So, conclusion of Evil Kinger / Coach Dictatorer's side of the theory : Kinger leads with his heart, and to him, being a dictator- leading with interests first, without consideration for the crew- is evil.

AND ANOTHER THING—-

More digital circus stuff beware:

I wanna talk about this scene- because many people use this as Ragatha being mean to Jax intentionally and bringing up his abstracted friend.

Except RIGHT AFTER she says this Ragatha quickly backtracks and goes “oh, Oh wait no! Uh, I’m sorry— I wasn’t talking about— that wasn’t meant to be—“ before she runs away.

Sputtering out how she wasn’t talking about Jax’s friend.

The thing is: I believe her.

It’s how she said “I wasn’t talk about [them]” and “That wasn’t meant to be [about them]” — the [ ] being what I assume she was going to say.

I genuinely don’t think Ragatha was trying to make a jab about that abstracted member because we’ve seen Ragatha get upset about past abstracted circus members before, like in Kaufmo’s funeral despite not getting along with him all the time she still cried and mourned him.

There’s truly no reason she would bring up a potentially really painful memory just to spite Jax, as she said in episode 4: “Hey… I like… hate you? But I don’t want you to hate me. Is that weird?”

Now what was she trying to say? Well to me the tone of voice and the way she looked away— not even intentionally gazing at Pomni— goes “Not anymore” implies she’s not talking about anyone else, but talking about herself.

It’s giving like “Not anymore since I’m not trying to befriend you anymore.” Or “Not anymore since I realize you never change/don’t care”

Although Ragatha does have a very minor habit of almost speaking for others but never to put words in their mouths, in fact every time she does something similar is usually to talk down Jax- like when they talk both Gangle and Ragatha says “maybe she doesn’t want to be friends with someone whose mean to her all the time!”

I truly don’t think she was talking about/for gangle when she said those things- it really did sound like it was coming from her. Purely uncensored personal thoughts about her just finally giving up on Jax’s friendship.

I still think about this btw

CAINE IN EPISODE 5

Day 1 thoughts of ep 5 that are very subject to change

Im going to refrain from talking too much about things not involving Caine, as Im currently working on a slideshow to explain all my thoughts on EVERYTHING, especially Jax and Pomni stuff because thats like….why is Jax acting like that- I feel like we missed some character development- what is going on???

BUT YEAH THATS NOT WHAT I NEED TO TALK ABOUT RIGHT NOW

I first need to acknowledge how Caine is acting??? because NO ONE ELSE IS?????????? (Like, in the show)

Caine felt incredibly out of character during this episode- is that just me? Not in a writing flaw way, but in a “oh god he’s BREAKING” way. He has good intentions, but BY GOD him threatening Zooble made me recoil, dude are you okay 😭 that was incredibly jarring like- jesus.

He just has one hell of a temper, is genuinely out cold during the baseball adventure, and is a lot more- scarily nonsensical. Like before he was chaotic, sure, but it still felt like he knew what he was doing/had everything, including himself, semi under control. In this it feels like he is just falling apart at the seams.

The temper thing I will get into more later, but on the being out cold part of the baseball thing, is we’ve acknowledged several times that Caine doesnt need to eat, doesnt need to sleep, he’s a machine, he SHOULDN’T be doing that. The way he acted when he woke up is the part that concerns me, since I could totally expect him to like pretend to sleep for a bit, but nah he was ZONKING😭😭

It feels like the more tired he is the more effort he’s going to put in and over exert himself (me too, brother, me too)

I expected that, I expected the getting more nonsensical, what I DIDN’T expect, what I DON’T understand, is the temper and the savior complex???

my buddy @starrysquire had something to say about his temper that I think is GENIUS and absolutely something to start with when explaining the temper, though.

To expand on it a bit more and segway into some savior complex things, Caine wants others to be happy, sure but HE wants to be the ones to make them happy, because if he’s not, then he sees himself as disposable. I think thats the main thing we can take away from this episode. His entire conversation with the moon threw me for a loop because I did not expect this to be that direct. “They like the suggestion box adventures more than the ME adventures.” Them being happy is a BAD THING. WHAT.

Caine is dealing with feelings he’s probably never felt before because we can assume he’s never had his purpose come into question this strongly before, ONG!!!

The temper and the savior thing seem to be going hand in hand in that way, since all the issues that come with wanting to be THE ONE to make others happy (for machine purposes on his end) comes with a lot of struggle, therefore a lot of lashing out.

Im still very curious however on what spectrum of emotion he’s incapable of feeling, since tiredness is something we saw from the baseball game. I would have speculated before it was GENUINE rage but ep 3 already put that into question, and now 5 proves me ABSOLUTELY wrong. Maybe… sadness? I don’t think we’ve ever seen him genuinely sad before…. which is actually kind of scary 😭

We’ve seen him stressed, mad, tired, but not sad

….I cant imagine that helps with the temper problems- if you can’t be sad ABOUT something, you’re going to be mad AT someone

But onto the things that make me feel gaslighted district

Zooble severely underreacted to being threatened like that- and im just left kind of confused. Like they say the only thing holding him back is the fact that he likes them, and they wouldnt push it, but- but theyre pushing it?? a lot??? im so confused 😭 I dont even have an analysis on that

What I DO have analysis on though is JAX and his relation to Caine

Jax’ subtle yet not subtle reaction to realizing Caine may have lied about what he can do, makes me INCREDIBLY intrigued, honestly Jax and Caines interactions in this entire episode have me thinking I was right about their relationship/dynamic being something of interest later in the show.

A lot of people complain, but whenever Jax specifically does, Caine is always quick to pop in and explain to him why whats happening is happening. Specifically in the democracy, and voting Zooble to turn into a slug bits. Then when Caine comments on Jax’ acting- It just feels like it’s leading up to something. What also doesn’t help their case is how both of their stances on adventures seem practically identical. How can Caine tell a compelling story without horrific things? How can Jax have FUN without horrific things???

Since Jax and Pomni seem to be getting closer, I have a feeling this is leading up to Jax informing her/the audience about some of the shit he does behind the scenes, because all of this leads me to believe he works with Caine on a more personal level. I dont think their like- partners in crime, but more rather Jax taking as much control as possible. Like if he doesn’t have control, he’ll find ways to control the person who does. But THEN I feel like that’d be leading to Jax slowly finding out through the punishment thing in episode 4, and the vegan thing in ep 5, that Caine still has the upper hand in every way.

Which, as all good things do, leads me to the best place imaginable the INTERMISSION SEQUENCE

That…like a lot of the episode less intrigued and more confused me which I didnt particularly like, I still prefer the last episodes to this one if im being so honest…but the intermission sequence was probably one of the best things ive ever seen in my entire life…

I feel it has SO much symbolism, which I wont put my specific thoughts about here just yet, thatll be saved for my slideshow, but the sequence AS A WHOLE is incredible in conveying the fact that Caine has everyone under his control to a SCARY degree. Like we all already knew this, but I feel like this just hammered it home- it feels like a nicer version of the fucking Happy Place sequence where he’s torturing everybody. Caine isnt torturing everyone, but he’s still demonstrating the POWER yknow?

But basically my thoughts and feelings summed up into one sentence

This is Papyrus 2015 all over again.
