Admin AU Masterpost

saw some other masterposts for aus and thought "you know what, I'll do that too" because I have no control over my life

SO, BASICS:

The Admin AU/Admin Kinger AU is a (mostly) PRE-CANON AU that revolves around the theory that Kinger was part of the programming team for the Digital Circus. It's very much headcanon-based and incredibly self-indulgent and basically just for meeeeeee

It's also very heavily kingleader/royalteeth focused (with past leaderboard) bc I'm gay

The basic story is that Kinger and Queenie, along with 3 others, were the original team responsible for the development of the game "the Amazing Digital Circus". It was supposed to be an early experimental VR game, with a self-learning AI host. They all had Admin access to the game during development. But then, Some Things Happened and whoops now noone can leave, etc etc you've seen the show you know how it be.

Most of this is literally just me doing silly rough comics for funsiessss

THE ADMIN TEAM:

Much of this is still "in development" and by "in development" I mean that I am haunted by this AU that was only supposed to be a single gay comic that has latched onto my brain like a parasite.

All of the everything:

everything is tagged under #admin kinger au

the initial comic (caine has a glitch)

kinger ref (slightly outdated)

Admin vs GM

sketches of queenie

Admin Team Lineup (slightly outdated)

Caine's Name Origin comic

Don't worry, I will forget to update this :)

Q&A (not that its needed fhsdgju)

So what about the current circus group?? Literally the same as canon. This AU only really covers pre-canon, and a little during-canon things. None of the other circus members have admin access, only Kinger. And only then through a backdoor code lmao

Isn't this just a Gamemaster Kinger AU rip-off?? I MEAN,,, I won't say I wasn't inspired by that AU bc i love it just so fucking much but I am trying to steer the Admin AU off in a (hopefully) different direction. The biggest differences are the Timeframe (GMKinger is during?post????-canon, Admin AU is Pre-Canon) and some logistics (GMKinger is part of the game/became part AI; Admin Kinger is NOT. He's still 100% human.) But yeah, if something seems suspiciously similar to the Gamemaster AU, well it was probably inspired by it (im so fukcing sorry chezzy)

Fanart? Writing? Ideas? I doubt that anyone but me is gonna do anything with this AU but yeah sure (pleaspleasepleaseplease) just uuuhhh tag me I guess? Also throw any questions at me

Comic Dubs? lmaooo I highly doubt this'll ever get asked but yes, go for it. but only if you aren't using AI-voice dubs. Otherwise no and also fuck you

[stickylizardcave]

best caine ive ever drawn btw

[stickylizardcave]

'nother rough Admin AU comic idea that popped into my head, based on the fact that in Canon, Caine did come up with his own name. But also, something something validation of being alive/real by having a name something something the joy of finding a name that fits etc etc

EDIT: fixed a typo lmaoo whoops "pleased to me you"

Transcript under the cut

1) RINGMASTER.AI: Kinger! Might I trouble you for a moment? KINGER: Ah, hello Ringmaster. What do you need? RINGMASTER.AI: W-well, there has been something I have been thinking about for a bit...

2) RINGMASTER.AI: Now, I understand that my designation is very important as it shows what my role in this game is, but- You all... The players would have their own names to be referred to, of course. And I do not mind just being called 'Ringmaster'...

3) RINGMASTER.AI: But, I think...I think I would like to have a name too...

4) KINGER: Of course you can have a name. Did you have one in mind, or do you need help to come up with one?

5) RINGMASTER.AI: Ah! There is one I have thought of for myself already! KINGER: Haha, let's hear it then!

6) RINGMASTER.AI: I would like to be called CREATIVE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE NETWORKING ENTITY!!

7) KINGER: Ah, th-that's a bit of a mouth to say every time... Cou-could we maybe shorten it a little?

8) KINGER: Let's see... If we make it an acronym for that whole thing... then it'd be... "CAINE."

9) CAINE: ...Caine. My name is Caine.

10) CAINE: That is perfect, my dear!! From now on, I will introduce myself as Caine! Pleased to meet you, Kinger!! KINGER: Haha! It's nice to meet you too, Caine!

its 5am leaderboard meme time everyone

doodlin' at work

[stickylizardcave]

Here's the entire Admin Team! Like I said, each one of them had their own specialty. Saw someone guess that Queenie was the bug-tester but they all bug-tested each other's work during development, to catch any mistakes they may have overlooked on their own.

So, I'd love to hear what ya'll think their job was.

[stickylizardcave]

In your admin Kinger au, was Queenie also a valid admin before abstracting?

She was, yes! All of the original developers had admin access since they also counted as the beta testing team. Each one had a specialty that was reflected in their admin model.

Here's sketches I made for Queenie! I'll be cleaning these up later and also doing the other team members. Can you guess what Queenie's job was?

Gamemaster vs Admin

( @chez-cinnamon's GM!Kinger AU is a big inspo for mine if it wasn't obvious lmao)

[stickylizardcave]

hghdfgggf;; love this AU Kinger design but all I can think when i see him is this fucking meme

THD ADMIN KINGER AU IS DEVELOPING A BACKSTORY HELP

its like a goddamn fungus in my brain. I am AT WORK i can't WRITE ANYTHING DOWN RIGHT NOW

[stickylizardcave]

thinks about the gang going on an adventure, realizing Kinger isn't there, coming back to the circus and seeing Kinger and Caine playing an intense game of 5D Chess with Multiverse Time Travel as Zooble watches on with awe and terror. They are like 20 timelines deep and make moves barely seconds after each other and don't appear to be stopping anytime soon. Caine didn't even notice the adventure was over and they're all back, he is LASER FOCUSED. Kinger is in a similar state. just absolutely Locked In. The crew gathers around to watch with Zooble. Popcorn appears at some point.

4 hours later Kinger suddenly says, "Checkmate." Everyone is flabbergasted. Caine triple checks every timeline (there is over 30 now) to find that yes, he had been beaten in every single one. Silence. Then Caine throws his hands in the air and slumps down in defeat. Kinger sits there looking very pleased with himself before he notices the rest of the circus watching them and screams

[stickylizardcave]

Refs of Admin Kinger from the rough comic because I am insane for an AU that won't go anywhere lmaooo. Yellow was originally just the placeholder glow color but I ended up liking it. Both of Caine's eyes glow yellow as well.

that full image has so many layers on it please god help me

longass kingleader au comic rough

gonna be under the cut bc hrhs its 48 panels long and i dont have the script ON the panels. I've been calling this the Codemaster AU (cause it's like half inspired by Chez's Gamemaster Kinger) but also I'm not sold on that name but also also I have literally no other idea for it bc this literally only exists for this one comic lmaooo;; I have nothing else planned

(1) CAINE: -and there will be a grand prize waiting for you! (2) CAINE: When you get ba-[STATIC BUZZ] (3) POMNI: ...Caine? What was- (4) CAINE: Nothing to worry about! Off you go!

(9) CAINE: ...Kinger? (10) KINGER: Caine? What are you doing here so late? (11) CAINE: I...am experiencing a problem, and I need your assistance.

(12) KINGER: Oh dear...Is this what happened to you earlier? CAINE: Yes. It has been...not pleasant. And occurring more frequently. (14) KINGER: Well, it's not a virus, at least as far as I can see. Nor a hack since your firewall would pick that up first. Strange that it's glitching your model like this...I may need to see your code directly. CAINE: That's fine.

(16) KINGER: Execute command code. Admin request. Profile Kinger. Password GLTC-G05WX. (17) CAINE: ...Access granted.

(25) KINGER: Found it. (26) CAINE: What is it? KINGER: You have a bit of a looping statement that's self-updating, but causing a leak. It's iterated itself to gibberish at this point. (27) CAINE: So it should be an easy fix... KINGER: I'll need to look through the backlogs to make sure I get it all, but yes. Just a small patch.

(28) CAINE: Such a simple thing to affect me so much...how humiliating. KINGER: It's been going on unnoticed for a while now. With everything that's happened recently, you've been working overtime and it finally caught up to you, that's all. No shame in it. Would you like me to cycle you down for the update? CAINE: If you would be so kind, my dear. (29) KINGER: I'll put the Circus in stasis, don't worry. (30) KINGER: Execute command. Rest mode.

(38) KINGER: Welcome back. How are you feeling? CAINE: Much better, my dear. KINGER: That's good to hear. I want to make sure the clean-up didn't mess with anything important. Would you mind running a diagnostic?

(41) CAINE: Scans came back clear. Thank you very much, my dear! KINGER: It's never a problem, old friend. (42) KINGER: Now then, it's late and I think it's time for me to sleep. (43) KINGER: Execute command. Remove admin permissions from Profile Kinger.

(44) CAINE: Accepted. Executing... (45) KINGER: What are you doing? CAINE: Getting more comfortable, of course.

(47) KINGER: You don't need to stay here, you know. I'll be alright. CAINE: Nonsense, you stayed with me until I woke, it's only fair to do the same for you! KINGER: If you insist... CAINE: I do! Now, off to sleep you go. I have a grand adventure to plan for tomorrow. KINGER: Ha, alright. Goodnight, Caine. CAINE: Goodnight, my dear Kinger.
