I’m So Evil For This But I Just Had A Brain Idea For TADC. Idk If This Counts As Spoilers, But I Will

I’m so evil for this but I just had a brain idea for TADC. Idk if this counts as spoilers, but I will be talking about episodes enough?? Maybe spoilers, idk. Read with caution. But anyways:

I was doing the dishes when I remembered when someone mentioned how Caine can’t directly affect the cast’s minds, but can manipulate them as seen with the stupid sauce in ep 4. Gooseworx’s response was very vague, giving only a small ‘heh’ in response but it got me wondering what that sort of thing could do if Caine realized how much he could do with it. See, no one expects Caine to do anything malicious, because he isn’t supposed to be, and quite frankly, he doesn’t want to be the bad guy either, ALTHOUGH he does have a very oblivious and factual sense of logic.

My thoughts then turned to the meals he makes for the cast, occasionally, if they eat meals regularly, or if he gives them to the cast as prizes, (as seen in the end of the TADC pilot). My brain immediately thought of how Caine, wanting everyone to enjoy his adventures and their life in the circus, might react when he realizes he could just feed them something that could actually make them enjoy his shenanigans! To Caine, I’d make perfect sense, and not malicious at all since then they’d be more compliant and happy. Even if it’s forced onto them.

The thought of Caine making an adventure for them, and making a meal for them afterwards with code that’ll manipulate their senses and practically mind control them seems like something he’d 200% do if he ever realized he could. One of he worst things would be that then, if they were still “conscious”, they wouldn’t just be stuck in the circus, they wouldn’t just be trapped with each other, they’d be trapped in the back of their minds, suppressed as second thought that would be completely overlooked. If not, then their minds would be seen as completely stable, and they wouldn’t even be able to get out via abstraction anymore! An everlasting generation of circus members that don’t go insane, argue, or abstract! Caine would see it as perfect!

My ramblings are just about a random thought I had, I don’t expect it to actually happen, though with how shocked the voice actors were with the script, and how the mind-altering substances aren’t completely off the table, there’s a possibility of it happening. An absolute nightmare of an ending for the show.
