"Mentally stable" *Glitches from the existence*
TADC is about suicide and here’s why
TW : Suicide
CW : Spoilers
Okay so. First of all, this might be a cold take. Someone else might’ve done this already or come up with this theory, I haven’t watched any videos EXCEPT for the actual show. So maybe I’m late to this
Additionally, we’re only on episode 4 of season 1 I could be COMPLETELY wrong on this. I might be looking too deep, so give me a grain of salt
The circus itself is giving very. Place after death vibes. Not purgatory, or heaven, or hell. But just… somewhere people go after they die. Yes I know in the first episode Pomni says she can’t get this stupid headset off so hey, maybe she’s still alive?? I DONT KNOW FOR SURE but maybe the headset is giving her a glimpse into the afterlife?
That, or it’s some kind of therapy program
IGNORING THAT
All of the main cast act like stereotypes of suicide victims, maybe it’s just me
Jax is an asshole, that much is obvious. We haven’t been given many inclinations into whether or not he has a softer side, but he seems to be compensating for something. It could be insecurity
Gangle is assumed to have been a shift manager at either a fast food restaurant or some other similar chain job, and it’s implied she wanted artist only to be told her dreams were unrealistic. Something that some people don’t know about people who are suicidal is that they can become extremely happy before going through with it, which we see with Gangle in episode 4 before she’s hit by a truck. Now the truck thing could be an accident, but she literally leans into the road. She looks surprised to see the truck, and maybe she was unaware of her surroundings at the time, but it could be that she also was surprised to go through the same experience again. She literally says that she snapped under the pressure of the job and responsibility. Could be headcanon. There’s also the whole masking emotions thing which is quite literal in its presentation
Ragatha is obviously toxicly positive. She tries to make things better and look on the bright side of things. She’s courteous and compassionate, but there’s no way she can be like that constantly. It’s just not humanly possible. Gangle says in episode 4 it’s hard to tell when she’s being genuine after you spend a lot of time with her, so perhaps it’s a coping method? Or a habit? In the pilot episode/episode 1, she literally tells Pomni she understands if she leaves her behind while she’s in pain. Maybe I’m misremembering, but she values others over herself. After a certain point that becomes exhausting. You can’t do it anymore
Zooble clearly goes through body dysmorphia as seen in episode 3. They don’t like their body, no matter how many times they can change it. This could also be a gender dysphoria thing, but we don’t see a lot of their relationship with their gender other than their pronouns being non-binary
Kinger is one I struggle with a little bit. We know he had a relationship with Queenie, and now she’s gone, but we don’t know if that relationship started in the circus or before either of them were brought into it. What we do know for sure is that he’s paranoid. In his first appearance the cast literally speculates that he will be the one to abstract next, with abstraction being the product of heavy dissociation. Sure, he’s not all paranoia and fear, but he’s wary. He’s a kind soul who broke under everything
Caine’s influence in all this is that he’s someone who isn’t depressed or suicidal. He’s the person who tries to fix those people, but goes about it in the wrong way. He’s trying to take their mind off of what makes them suicidal by shifting their attention. When they try to open up to him, he doesn’t understand their issues because he just isn’t suicidal like they are/were. Like Ragatha, he’s toxicly positive and tries to change the topic when things like that come up. Think of someone who doesn’t want you to show symptoms of mental illness around them because they “don’t like it” or “are offput” by it
That’s really all I’ve got on this. Again, I could be wrong or I might be totally late to the party but I can’t get this out of my head so
my brain immediately registered that as winged light
its ok father you can breathe
He's just happy to help.
It's hard to seek comfort when most people around you are all kind of crazy-overwhelming.
I did this comic before Episode 3 released not knowing what would actually happen but to no one's surprise, Kinger is actually quite a comforting Character... sometimes.
I do hope their friendships only grow stronger throughout the episodes. I'm very happy so far 😊
Ugh, my heart. Him liking bugs because of his wife is just so sad and him probably not even remembering why makes it worse. ;_; ;_; ;_;
This song reminds me so much of “The Amazing Digital Circus”
Canon (fat blunt ralsei refrenced drawing indeed)
And I know Kinger plush is suppose to be him hugging knees under chin (or whatever chesspieces have) but this is all i can think of^
I finished drawing, but i accidently saved it as pmg instead of png and krita file didn't save for some reason 😭
So no I have only non color version. (i added refernece photo to the right so drawing isn't very long)
testing new shading technique on Kinger and this looks so tasty so far, i hope i don't ruin in in the next steps 🤞
I'm gonna share my LGBT headcanons for the tadc cast bc I'm bored and I apparently have nothing else better to do. 💀💀
Please be nice about my opinions btw, I don't wanna start drama- 💀
