Guess whoâs back from the dead? I finally got the motivation to work on this again, probably âcause the new episodeâs almost here! Iâm so excited, Iâm not gonna be normal, I love TADC SO MUCH!!!!!
Hide & Shrink
Chapter 6
I almost wish we never left the restaurant.
Not only did we make it back just in time for the adventure to be finished, we also happened to arrive just as Jax and Ragatha were having a very heated argument. About me.
âI donât care, Jax! Sheâs our friend, we canât do this to her!â
âFriend? We only just met her. And from what Iâve heard, she left you for dead when Kaufmo abstracted.â
âSo did you!â
âYeah, but you expect it from me. Look, all Iâm saying is she could be our ticket out of here. Isnât that what everybody wants? I mean, come on, donât tell me you actually WANT to stay here now.â
âI donât⊠but still, itâs not right. We shouldnât force Pomni to do anything she doesnât want to.â
âRags, everyone here is being forced to do stuff they donât want to, and as hilarious as it is, I canât stay here forever if there really is a way out. Look, it doesnât matter to me if youâre in or not. The bottom line is, Iâm getting out of here.â
âSheâs scared out of her mind, Jax. At least wait a few more days and try asking again when sheâs calmed down.â
The rabbit let out a chuckle as he shook his head.
âAll these years weâve been trapped here, all weâve done is wait. I donât think any of us can afford to wait any longer. Just look at Kinger. Heâll be a goner any day now.â
âDonât say things like that!â
âWhy not? You know itâs true.â
The entire time, Caine just floated in place, watching the argument play out. It was like he was waiting for them to finish before approaching them. But with the way tensions were rising between the two of them, letting that happen would definitely not end well.
âUh, Caine? Maybe you should intervene.â
It was like he suddenly snapped out of whatever trance he was in and looked down at me.
âHuh? Oh, yes.â
We swiftly flew over to them, Caine positioning himself right in the middle of them.
âHey now, the adventureâs over, you two! Letâs settle down and regroup with the others!â
The two of them finally stopped and turned their attention to us. Ragatha looked relieved to see me, while Jax just continued to smirk.
âOh, Pomni, youâre back. Finally done hiding behind Caine?â
I glared at him, but he was technically right. That was the most infuriating part. I hated him, but a lot of the time, he was right.
The other three returned, Gangle and Kinger looking distraught as usual, and Zooble in the process of reattaching their arm.
âI swear, if I have to see a Gloink or Wroink or whatever one more time, Iâm going to %$!#ing abstract.â
Gangle whimpered. âOh, Zooble⊠not you tooâŠâ
For the first time, I could detect the slightest look of sympathy on Zoobleâs mismatched face. âI was just exaggerating. You know Iâm not actually going anywhere.â
Completely missing the tone as usual, Caine flew up into the air, and I clung onto his thumb as tightly as I could so I wouldnât fall.
âIt looks like everyoneâs back together again, which means todayâs adventure is officially complete! Now, what exciting activity should we do to celebrate?â
Jax sauntered over, brimming with confidence. He had something to say, and he was waiting a long time to say it. And I already knew exactly where he was going.
âIf I may, I have a suggestion. We still havenât really discussed the whole Pomni situation.â
Ragatha looked like she was on the verge of snapping, which was something that was hard for me to even picture. I only just met her, but she seemed to be the most calm and collected out of everyone. I guess it was nice to know she was looking out for me, but I still wasnât sure why.
âY-Yeah⊠we have to help her. She must be so scaredâŠâ
I donât think Gangle meant anything by it, but it was really starting to get on my nerves how everyone was talking about me as if I wasnât there. It reminded me all too well of how people would treat me back in the real world. How theyâd talk over me, never listen to what I had to say. I wasnât important enough to be taken seriously. Just a joke.
âAs usual, Gangle, youâre wrong. No, Iâm talking about the elephant in the room that no one wants to address: Pomniâs glitch.â
At that, the whole circus went silent.
âOh come on, donât play dumb, guys. You know what Iâm talkinâ about. If Caine canât fix her, it means there must be something wrong with her character model, and if we can figure out whatâs causing this, we can use it to get outta here.â
Jax was met with more silence, until Kinger finally spoke up.
âWell⊠yes, the thought has crossed my mind, but-â
âBut what, Kinger? Donât tell me youâre also too attached to Pomni to waste our only chance of leaving. You should know better than any of us getting attached to people here gets you nowhere.â
âJAX!â
I looked back and forth between Ragatha, who was absolutely fuming, and Kinger, who looked as though he had just seen a ghost.
âI-I have to go.â
The chess piece quickly shuffled away as the rest of us watched with bated breath. Even though I had no idea what was going on, the tension was palpable.
âWhat⊠What was that about?â I asked.
Ragatha sighed, visibly frustrated.
âItâs not my story to tell. But Jax⊠what you just did was way over the line, and I shouldnât have to tell you that. I know things are hard for all of us right now, but thatâs no excuse to abandon basic human decency!â
Jax scoffed, heading off to his room.
âOkay, sure. Keep lying to yourselves. But itâs not gonna help in the long run. Youâre only prolonging your fates. Call me whatever you want, but at least Iâm trying to leave this %$!#show.â
One by one, everyone else left. Not all at the same time, it was staggered. Ragatha left first, then Gangle maybe about ten minutes later. Surprisingly, Zooble stuck around the longest. They kept looking at me, still helplessly seated in Caineâs palm, and down the hall at Kingerâs door. There were a couple times where it seemed like they were about to say something, but they never did.
The entire time, Caine was uncharacteristically quiet. It was almost like he was stuck waiting for a cue that never came. It was clear something big just happened, but I had no context for any of it.
âHey⊠Caine? Why do you keep freezing up like that?â
Once again, he snapped out of it, looking mildly confused.
âHuh? Oh, Pomni, you must be tired! Letâs get you back to your room!â
Before I could protest, he flew down the hall, opened my bedroom door and tucked me into bed, patting me on the head for good measure.
âThere ya go, nice nâ cozy! Now, rest up! Youâll need the energy for tomorrowâs adventure!â
âWait, Cai-!â
He was already gone. It was so obvious he was hiding something. Everyone was. But I wasnât about to let this circus keep its secrets hidden from me forever. The truth about this place was just out of my reach, and whatever it took, I would find it, even if I had no one truly on my side.

Ermm sorry if this sounds like a demand or anything but.. any updates on that tadc g/t au?
Oh hey! Donât worry, Iâm glad people are still interested. Iâve been meaning to work on it again for a while now, but a lot of times when Iâm writing Iâll hit a roadblock, and it can be hard to continue when that happens. But if I come up with a good idea to continue the story, I will 100% go back to it âcause I love TADC lol

Little Ribbon Dancer
Howdy folks! Here is a lil oneshot to get me back in the swing of things. :)
This is just a thing for @crustysoapbubbles, you requested this a while ago, sorry it took so long, Iâve been all over the place. Hope you like it! Some groovy Gangle G/t angst :D
tw ~ falling, fear, unintentional fearplay, minor self depreciation, Kinger shenaniganary
Word count ~ 1k
When Gangle woke up in the morning, the last thing she expected was her bed to be like a vast expanse of fabric around her. In fact, her whole room was gigantic to herâŠÂ
What kind of nightmareâŠ
Gangle suddenly gasped. This was too real to be a nightmare, and it seemed like it wasnât her room that grew.. she shrunk.
The ribbon character started to panic, breath quick and uneven as she looked around. The constantly worried eyes of her mask seemed appropriate for this situation.
What would she do? There wasnât much she could do at the moment⊠maybe find Caine?
With trembling ribbon limbs, Gangle stood and looked over the edge of her bed. She saw the drop to the floor was long⊠and even though she knew cartoon physics wouldnât let her get seriously hurt, she still felt terrified of the drop.Â
However.. she noticed how on the floor next to the bed there was a pillow, one of the five that she didnât use much that had probably fallen off the bed in the night.
This would be scary⊠but there wasnât another option, so Gangle walked to the very edge and prepared to jumpâŠ
Only to attempt to chicken out at the last moment. But the momentum of the running start caused her to fall anyway with a startled yelp.Â
Fortunately, she landed on the pillow anyway and was only mildly disoriented.Â
Looking around, she saw that the door had a crack under it big enough for her ribbon body to fit under.
By the time Gangle made it down the hallway of bedrooms, she was completely out of breath and tripping over her own feet. Finally, she took a moment to catch her breath, and thatâs when she noticed the familiar form of a royal-looking chess piece.Â
Kinger seemed to be staring, dissociating most likely, and not paying attention⊠he would be a good help in finding CaineâŠ
Gangle ran over to him, yelling out his name but soon realizing that he couldnât hear her, whether from the dissociation or her size change, she didnât know.
Regardless, she still tried waving her arms around to gain his attention⊠and she almost regretted it when she did because immediately his eyes were blank and looking at her in a way she thought was much more intimidating while she was the size of a hand.
Kinger gasped loudly and suddenly, staring down at her with wide eyes.
âPart of an insect collectionâŠâ
He muttered under his breath, one of his disconnected hands reaching out to grab Gangle. She let out a squeal of fear and covered her eyes with ends of her ribbon hands. She was grabbed by the giant hand and lifted up high into the air, only to a normal sized person it was only a few feet off the ground.Â
The grip wasnât tight though, not to her flattened digital body of ribbon, and once the hand stopped at kingers eye level, it opened, leaving Gangle sitting in his open palm as he inspected her.
âK.. Kinger! Itâs me!â
She spoke up with very little confidence, her arms practically tied together with how much she nervously fidgeted with them.Â
There was a pause, of Kinger being frozen and silent⊠Gangle knew what was coming.
A sudden scream came from the chess piece character as the hand she was on flailed at a high speed, she was wrapped around his thumb for dear lifeâŠÂ
She squealed in fear as she was flung around while Kinger continued to scream.
âStop! Stop- wait!â
As her tiny voice yelled, Kinger paused and brought his hand up to his face in surprise, his constantly wide eyes staring at her in curiosity and confusion.
âOh, Gangle. You startled meâŠâ
He sounded exasperated from the screaming. She was still shaken up from the unexpected flailing⊠though Gangle supposed she should have suspected that considering startling Kinger was never a good idea.
âUh.. sorry, Kinger.. I-I donât know what happened to meâ
She sounded like she was on the verge of tears. Without her comedy mask, thatâs how she always felt. Small. Sad.
Only now that was literal.
âHm⊠well, maybe it was your mental perception of yourself losing your mask, causing you to feel mentally small, turning you physically small.â
He spoke with a surprising amount of sense. Gangle stared at him for a moment.
âYou mean⊠my digital form matched my mindâŠ?â
ââŠ. Your what?â
Immediately Kinger went back to his own strange mental state, forgetting everything he had just said. Gangle sighed and decided not to bring it back up, instead wanting to focus on her original plan.
âJust⊠can you take me to Caine?⊠I-I donât.. like this.â
âRight, yes, of course!â
He made his way around the circus tent, searching, while also keeping his palms cupped against his royal cape. They continued like that until eventually they spotted the AI ringmaster dusting the ceiling of the tent upside down. After calling his name once he was levitating in front of them, his boisterous voice boomed.
âWell, hello Kinger! Any particular reason for disrupting my cleaning duties?â
The chess piece held up his hands. Gangle stared up at Caine with an apprehensive look before muttering.
âH-hi⊠can you fix this..?â
âWell, letâs seeâŠâ
Caine inspected the tiny figure, a hand where his chin would be if he had one.
âA glitch! Simple fix, Gangle! There!â
He snapped, and suddenly Gangle was normal sized again, causing Kinger to scream again and drop her. She dusted herself off and looked down at herself. She didnât expect it to be that easyâŠ.
âHey⊠Caine⊠could you also⊠f-fix my comedy mask..?â
She asked hopefully, wanting her other face fixed if Caine had already helped her once so simply.
âHm⊠No! But⊠An adventure will cheer you up!â
Gangle gave a saddened whine as a collection of groans sounded throughout the tent, signaling that the others had heard the unfortunate words of adventure.
Maybe next time.
ââââââ
thanks for reading! Any more prompts for one shots are welcome! I may do a list of fandoms Iâll write for soon :)
