Right now the name is
But it might change in the future, work in progress and everything.
Right now everything is in a concept stage and is subject to change in the future, expect the Masterpost and other official content at the end of November.
The AU will just mix the premise of TADC with the one of RTC instead of being a "Ride the Cyclone but what if TADC characters" type of story. Instead, the story will have the TADC human cast finding themselves, after brutally dying in a rollercoaster incident, in a circus-like-wonderland in-between life and death created by The Marvelous Caine. Here, the members of the Circus shall compete for a chance of being revived, but who's worth it the most?
None of the members remember their past lives, only the feeling they had during and about their death. They do not share the backstories with the original RTC cast, they will share some similarities with some of them at most.
All characters are adults around the same age they are in the original show. They all work/are connected to Uranium's local church and are part of the chuaior, most of the joining as it could have been their ticket out of that boring town.
All the designs shown here are, well, still being designed. Ponmi's specially is still in development, you can take the bottom right head shot as the direction I've decided to take. It's really hard designing a Ponmi, mad kudos to those who already did!
I don't plan on changing Caine's design outside from expanding it and adding more detail. He was very easy to design and all the elements floated into place as I drew, unlike Ponmi who has been hell on earth. I change his title from "The Amazing" to "The Marvelous" because, and bare with me, the world marvelous feels more purple to me and that is this version of Caine's main color. I don't know how I feel about taking away his characteristic red but I do like the diversity it brings to the "Caine roster".
Bubble takes after the rat that's nibbling Karnek wires (ultimately killing both of them in the end), I do not know if the same will happen in this universe though. I might make some slight tweets to his design cause I just can't seem to get the teeth right.
I haven't made any other concept art for the other members designs but I will get there eventually!
I don't know what is the format this au is being taught in (comic, show, video game, visual novel and so on...) so any type of world building in that way is a bit iffy.
Consequently, I have no idea if any NPCs like GummyGoo or the Angle will appear but I do like the idea of having them in the au... so who knows?
I'd like to add Able in some way shape or form but try as I might I CAN'T SQUEEZE HIM IN! IT JUST LOOKS LIKE THAT ONE GUY WHO SELF-INSERTED HIMSELF INTO AMPHIBIA I SWEAR!
This is done by a TADC fan who enjoys the concept of Ride the Cyclone and its songs, my priority in what I stay truthfull to is TADC. I just took what I liked from RTC and now I'll create a story with it.
That being said, see you when I update. Feel free to ask questions!
Also don't let any unfunny Sirenhead jokes make you think the design needs to be changed because A) it fits the desing and B) That’s not how Siren Head's siren heads actually look like so the comparison is not 100% HA JOKES ON THEM!
I honestly think the design is great since it hides Able but still feel like Able! He still has the human body with something wacky as a head idea but it replaces the cards for something that I bet shows a lot of his personality in this universe.
What helped me make the connection, and what I must applaud you for, is the teeth. Some I really like about TADC character design is how the rest of the cast (and side character) lacks realistic teeth which makes Caine stand out more, so the siren in his head having them was the first thing that makes you draw that connection.
(Also the use of the word "biological" brother is rising some major questions cause what do you mean that in a world full of soul powered robots something can be biologically related....?)
Hi! Please excuse any misspellings, english is not my frist language...
Firstly I just wanted to tell you that I love your AU! Your Harlequin au was what intorduced me to lovely TADC au Tumblr community and I absolutley love it! I haven't seen alternate universes as creative as these since the Sansverse era!
Secondly, I hace a question about the Patriarch: He seems to have a very good idea of who Caine is, wouldn't he be this world's equivalent to Able? I ask because althugh his design is WAY different from most fan Able depictions, he still has that "The Puppetmaster's brother" vibe that all Ables tend to have, a peace of Caine's past that he can never get rid of!
If he is not Able then I am curious of who he is, if he is then the lore just got spicier and if you don't want to spoil anything I'll understand.
But honestly: Keep it up! Your au has filled 70% of all my daydreams, the only thing I have been able to think about for a while has only been game mechanics, combat and chase sequences!
Damn y'all are fucking sleuths istg
Though I am very proud of that because that means my design philosophy worked somehow, and for that, I'll throw you guys a bone. And also because I can't keep it a secret any longer I've been holding it in since the very beginning of this au
YES.
The Patriarch of Puppets is none other than Abel, Caine's biological brother.
When I was first designing him, I wanted every aspect of Abel's design to scream "opposite of Caine", and to hold some form of symbolism. From his megaphone head, down to the color palettes, there is meaning. Don't get me wrong, Mushy's Able is a very memorable and awesome design and I could've incorporated him the same way I did Souls-like, but I wanted something deeper for Harlequin.
While Caine is adorned in golds and maroons to symbolize his warmer nature, Abel has teals and silver, a very cold and intimidating stature. Their outfits and the colors are an opposition towards each other yet reflect one another somehow, the way Abel dresses tightly and formal when Caine is loose and open, his intense red pupil conveys his hostility, whilst Caine's eyes are softer blues and greens.
His king-size height dwarfing Caine tells just how much the Puppetmaster felt living on his shadow, HELL, someone noticed the weird "A" on the sides of his head and I had to shrug it off because I didn't want to reveal it as early as that time.
Even the megaphone head design holds SO MUCH UNTOLD STORY BETWEEN THE BROTHERS THAT I WILL CHOOSE TO KEEP A SECRET FOR NOW. I've put SO MUCH THOUGHT behind his design.
*sigh*... Which is also why I very much dislike the "siren head" jokes, because it's the one thing I didn't really foresaw when I was developing his design until I finished, and someone pointed out it might cause jokes like that to prop up. Something I thought I wouldn't mind initially, until everyone made the same joke over and over again and I just audibly groan irl.
But you know. internet's gonna internet, they see one thing that resembles a popular media, it's an immediate connection. I didn't even give a shit enough about Siren head to know how the design actually looked like, just a silhouette of the guy.
Therefore, I would really appreciate it if saying this out loud would help lessen the jokes, but ik not everyone is going to see this post so.
I do still wanna thank you for your kind words, because these kinds of asks are the fuel to my fire of inspiration and motivation for this AU, and I wish that I can keep this fire going till the very end of this AU's story :')
I am normal about this show :)
A friend introduced me to The Amazing Digital Circus and I did not think it was my jam, but I gave it a watch and I am absolutely ADORING it! I’m not sure why but I was reminded of the masquerade balls down here, and I couldn’t resist making an AU following suit! More art is to come! (I cannot make logos 😂)
watched the amazing digital circus the other day, and i liked it- thought id ride the hype train and try my hand at drawing pomni and a little bit of caine- its quite a ways from my art style, but its good practice. surprisingly only took me about 2.5 hours, and somehow im still late lol
week 21, am feeling a bit better this week- taking care of myself, and am doing a bunch of little animations that i might share later. hope youre having a wonderful day~! :3 ♡

In terms of skin concepts, I only have Caine for the time being, though if this gets popular enough I'll do the other characters as well. For the purpose of this TADC × Fortnite concept, I've created a custom rarity known as the Glitch Series, this series would bundle in not only TADC but any other potential Glitch Productions entries into Fortnite.
For other locker items, I made bubble the backbling that comes with Caine to reintroduce the concept of pets. I made Caine's harvesting tool his cane while his glider is called All-Seeing Eyes and depicts his blue eyes in a wing-like formation. Caine's contrail is four hands behind the player, three of them have their fingers stationary while the fourth one has it's finger pointing toward wherever the player is facing, this contrail would be named Guiding Hands. While not specific to Caine, I also decided to make a concept for a TADC themed aura, to do this I decided to loosely base it off of Kaufmo's abstracted form, this would be named Abstraction.
I decided to give Caine a banner Icon which depicts his head in all black, I coloured the background for the banner brown just for the purpose of the example. TADC × Fortnite would also come with The Amazing Digital Circus' theme with both the lyric and instrumental versions. The loading screen depicts the main cast of TADC (save for Pomni, Ragatha and Kaufmo) on a stage together with Caine up front.
For the weapon wrap I went with a simple design, red yellow and blue with white spots in random areas, it's not much and that's reflected by the name of Digital Wrap.
Caine's built-in emote would be one that could only be done when both Caine and Bubble are equipped as it's a reenactment of the "YOU PARASITE!!!" scene in the pilot of TADC, the emote itself would be named YOU PARASITE!!!.
more tadc icons bc I'm brainrotting
Go check out The Amazing Digital Circus, it's super well done! The characters and their designs are so fun, especially Caine here ;)
In case it wasn't obvious I had a bit too much fun messing with the colors and filters, check out this site if you wanna try some of these yourself!
Wonder how long before the influx of CainexZooble material will be popping up lol.
(I'm shipping trash, so I'll take it)
Caine: 3 DAYS!!!!!
Pomni: huh?? What’s in 3 days? Caine what’s in 3 days??? Caine please answer— and he froze up again… GREAT.
Doodles that didn’t fit on the main tad&d post
I’m slowly but surely getting better at drawing Caine
I’m working on the thing
Take something I made for April fools but never got around to posting :)
THIS IS NOT AN ACTUAL CONTINUATION OR ANYTHING ITS A JOKE DW
This has kinda been a long time coming, but considering I’ve been really busy with schoolwork, volunteering, and a new job (!!!), I haven’t been able to work on the comic lately. I’M NOT GIVING UP, but I do need a break. I will still be posting artwork because I love drawing, but organized work is exhausting :’)

And they finally enter the mirror maze!
Yay! You guys get to see my favorite panel I’ve drawn (thus far at least)! I absolutely loved making the loading screen and I love how it came out even more. Who knew rendering (even as simplistic as I did) could be so fun?
The original creator of this AU is sm-baby!
