Glinda really had an entire musical number expounding on the theme of "success in life is not about being highly qualified or even competent, but manipulating people's superficial perception of you." and then she went into POLITICS. truly the #girlboss representation the world has earned

1/2

Jax knows what's going on and he's being the most douchey peacekeeper about it.

Anytime the tension rises, Jax comes in with a quip or remark to chill everyone out.

When Gangle asks about Kaufmo:

When Zooble asks where Pomni is:

And when Pomni first brings up the exit he acts like a dick to distract everyone

When the group decide they want to check on Kaufmo and find Zooble he assigns the best people based on how stable they are.

It might be possible that he didn't know Kaufmo had abstracted at this point, but the fact he paired up Kinger and Gangle on the less stressful objective shows he knows it's a possibility since no one has seen Kaufmo and that those two wouldn't be able to handle it if they saw him the way he turned out and could abstract themselves.

TADC THEORY

The evil Bubble theory (aka why Caine isn't the big bad)

Thank you for @distantmaniacallaugh for helping me with this. WARNING: Really long thing underneath

Also @sunnyknight-original as the extra commenter.

PLEASE PLEASE ADD ON TO THIS I WANT TO HEAR EVERY THOUGHT OR ARGUMENT RELATED TO THIS I LOVE THEORIES THIS IS MY PASSION

Also I hope Gooseworx comes down, reads this, and goes "what the fuck that's not what I intended at all". Just because funny.

[paragonraptors]

for science (because im curious)

if you have more than one worldstate, pick for the one you consider your "main"/"canon" worldstate or the one you plan to use first for da4! also feel free to lay out your reasoning in the tags gushing about your dragon age runs is accepted and encouraged here.

new song for bubble theory

[drama-glob]

So, if you let the AIs run around for an extended period of time, I'm guessing...

it creates someone like this guy? O_O (The subtitles say sinister music is playing when they zoom in, so this NPC is likely part of the storm Gooseworx is referring to with the other part probably being the tension between Ragatha, Jax and Pomni along with Caine glitching :/).

I'm guessing this is going back to episode 2 when Caine brought up how important it is that he doesn't get confused which one is a human and which is an NPC, meaning that Caine may have done open worlds before and the NPC got so intelligent that Caine either mixed this NPC with a human and deleted the human/put it in asset inventory/etc. or the NPC can violate Caine's programing at that point and do pretty much whatever it wants. O_O

*The fact this character has appeared in other episodes is certainly creepy. O_O

I have seen multiple people note how "Doctor-like" they thought Ricky September was. I agree!

I think Ricky September might be there to show that Lindy was eager and willing to accept help and guidance from a white version of The Doctor but that she would refuse that same guidance from Fifteen.

My TADC episode 5 trailer thoughts/things I noticed in it as well

- It was a smart move to put the automatic subtitles in a different language so you can’t cheat to understand what they’re saying.

- Also this trailer while very entertaining to watch makes it hard to pick up details because of its format which was definitely intentional. Which to me means they don’t want to give much or anything away so the episode will really surprise us all when it actually comes out.

- Ragatha’s nearing her breaking point with Jax and maybe even the others, which makes sense since this is her episode to shine in.

- Though this is also supposed to be the lightest of all the episodes so I have to assume nothing TOO gut wrenching can happen this episode.

- JAX. SITTING NEXT TO CORN. This is gonna be a big moment for us all.

- I can only imagine that this is how I look when I get frustrated/upset about anything.

- In this part of the trailer Pomni is laying on the floor with what looks like a piece of seaweed on her head (also looks to be soaked) and later we see Gangle and Kinger coming out of the portal with seaweed on them too (Though I can’t tell if they’re wet too).

- Maybe the episode starts with them going through the portal because they’re coming back from an adventure but after Caine hears that they didn’t have any fun he creates more adventures for them.

- I can’t imagine what Ragatha said to Jax to get him looking like this but I can only assume that it will end well. It definitely will. No doubt about it. Totally.

- Pomni looks like she’s being in charge of something. Allegedly she’s being an accountant here which was allegedly what she was before the circus.

- I wonder how they’re gonna include the number 57 in this episode?

- WHAT DO YOU THE VIEWERS THINK CAINE’S THINKING SO HARD OVER? (Wrong answers only).

- Are these the official opposite au versions of the characters? And are they playing a game of baseball against them? Now this is going to be so much fun to watch happen!

- And we’ll end this with bubble interrupting Caine and Zooble by think they’re the fan favorite.

- Offices? Mafias? Animal hunting? Hundreds of eyes? BunnyDoll scenes? Official opposite au characters? Caine being buggy? Jax’s maybe worst fear? This episode has it all.

Please share your thoughts and observations with me, I’m always eager to hear others perspectives.

Can’t wait for the new episode next Friday!

P.S - Just rewatched the trailer for a fifth time and I may be crazy but this character looks a bit like a Gaslight District character who can quite place, and bubble say in the beginning of the trailer “The next episode of the great gatsby district.” Possible crossover or at least reference between the two shows?
