Can you please draw the character that is taking up most of your brain space rn? I’m curious!
Tumblr media
I was originally going to go straight to bed after making this other post, but then this ask popped up and I just HAD to stay up and draw Kinger XDD
When I first got into The Amazing Digital Circus, Kinger was one of my favorite characters along side Caine and then later Gummigoo. But after episode 3? Man.. I assumed he had some tragic backstory.. but I didn't expect it to bring me to tears. He's such a wonderful character.. He took my top favorite spot instantly and I don't think any other characters can beat him.
I had also been thinking about making a Digital Circus AU but never really got around to it.. until episode 3.. Kinger single handedly motivated me to scoop up my AU and make a comic about it. Kinger is all I've been thinking about through my other projects and I'm going to craft my AU to make him as happy as possible 🥹🥹💞💞💞

[huge post alert]
I have so much to say about Kinger! first of all, about his memory, and how he remembers things in the dark,
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
since the beginning, he always seems to feel better and more sane in the dark. no matter how small the dark is, whether he's in his pillow fort, with something covering his head, or just with his eyes closed. it's subtle, but it's there.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
like when he comforted Ragatha, telling her that he remembered how her adaptation to the circus was, so she felt better and didn't feel the urge to worry so much about Pomni's own adaptation; he had a bucket on his head, which grounded him, and made him say things that made sense for Ragatha, surprising her.
also, he was the only one speaking with his eyes closed at Kaufmo's funeral. we didn't see what they said that day, but from his facial expression and body language, I assume he was saying something that came from his heart, especially since it was the funeral of a friend who had abstracted. a friend who's gone in the same way as the person he loved the most.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
having lost his wife, and having the last time he saw her be one of the last things still keeping him sane, means a lot to him. like he said, it's not the cheerful memory ever, but at least it's one he can control. the dark usually sounds scary to most people, but to him, it's kinda... safe. imagine how many times he and his wife were alone in his their fort? how many memories they must have made in there, no matter how small and silly they were. and it was the last place they were together for the last time. it's a place that he could be afraid of, that he could associate with losing her, that he could associate with the last memory he had with her, that he could associate with emptiness... but he managed to turn the dark into a place that grounds him. into a place that motivates him to continue, into a place that keeps him alive. it's no wonder he always seems so brave when the lights turn off. it's no wonder he guided Pomni so well, and managed to make her feel at least a little calmer. the dark is not an unfamiliar place for him. it's a place that feels like home, and that's exactly why he's able to act more rationally.
and it's because the lost of his wife, that Kinger holds so much onto the people who mean the most to him, and does everything (in whatever way he can) to protect them. we can see that since the first episodes, he is always the person who tries to comfort, and specifically, save the others. like:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
[Pilot] when he tried to save Zooble from the Gloinks, failed, Zooble cursed him, and in the end he was still relieved that they were well and safe. even though it was a in-house adventure, he still cared, and was happy to help, being excited about winning the rock-paper-scissors with Gangle;
Tumblr media Tumblr media
[Episode 2] or when he kept throwing things at Pomni so she could try to hold onto it and get out of the moving truck.
Pomni asked for help, and apart from Ragatha who was asking for them to try to get Pomni out of there, he was the only one to actually take any action to try to help, even though it was only making the situation worse, or just not helping at all;
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
[Episode 2] or even when Jax threatened to tell the Fudge monster that Ragatha's hair looked like licorice, Kinger paid attention, noticed that Jax was right, and to protect Ragatha, he went to look for a bucket, and when he found it, he used it to cover her hair;
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
[Episode 3] and today, he was totally willing to throw himself into a bizarre door without even thinking twice, just to get Gangle's mask and give it back to her, because he knows how much the mask means to her;
aand part 2 because tumblr doesn't allow more images in one post and I can't shut up... oopsie...

Just a list of things i am going to obsess over for the next two weeks about episode 3:
•"7 years of computer science for this?" HUHH?? KINGER YOU WANNA SAY SMTH? ALSO ALSO Ohhhh i can hear the theorists
•i love Martha(the ghost wife) tho? Like i want Ragatha-Gangle-Jax's side of the adventure now (i bet it's a just gonna be a ton of gossip and I WILL eat that up)
•the monster/angel thing is actual nightmare fuel i regret watching this at night
•when kinger saw the monster and seemed enamored by it i thought it has the power to remind people of their past or something. Now I'm just hurt because people pointed out that the monster-angel thing reminded kinger of his abstracted wife.
•kinger glows in the dark. he seems to remember things better in the dark. Huh
•Is jax the only one who can fourth wall break besides caine? is that gonna be important or is that just a running gag??
•kinger held his wife when shes already abstracted and didn't glitch.
•abstracted queenie calms down according to kinger. From his flashback she didn't appear hostile unlike kaufmo in ep 1. Does that mean they're not really that far away from saving?
•the part about zooble and hating their body. i can't wait for zooble's episode. I love them so much and would love to see more of their chracter development
•the animation in the part where you can only see pomni and kinger's eyes IS SO *Chef's kiss*
•i think when zooble keeps saying forget it caine takes it literally because he's an AI
•"Please don't come alive" "ok I won't" that caught me off guard
•no thoughts just that one frame of bubbles wearing Caine's top hat
•noticed some papers on the desks with drawings resembling abstraction
•gangle doesn't really do much in this episode but she is there and i love her. You're doing great sweetie.
•also can't wait for the time we touch upon the fact that caine is constantly dipping in and out of the rabbit hole of existential crisis
•Kinger doesn't even like bugs back then but Queenie got him into entomology. I am so sorry but I will never stop talking about them
•I love what Kinger told Pomni about cherishing those around you. It really mirrors the end of episode 2 and how she's starting to realize that there are people that do care about her in the circus.
•Pomni thanking Ragatha for always looking out for her 😭
•They tied jax up lmaoooo
•"In this world, the worst thing you can do is make someone think they're not wanted or loved"

*explodes into your request box*
HEY HEY HEY, im back.
Came to ask an platonic Child!reader with the rest of the gang.
BUT HEAR ME OUT
Child reader is like an wolf in sheep's clothing, like reader has an cute expression on their face but when someone tries to touch them, they'll go like: "touch me and ill rip your hand off" in a full innocent voice and that cute smile.
And child reader has shark teeth.
Tyy!
*explodes*
- 🦭
The cast x child!reader (platonic)
throwing this together after waking up from a really nice nap! i still have the kinger request to work on but my brains still stumped.. sobs.. requests are still open by the way! you can find the link to my rules in my previous post, or you can look in my pinned! :O apologies if some sections for the characters are a little short, my brains still a lil okfvokffvovf from waking up TToTT
Tumblr media Tumblr media
CAINE:
a child? in the circus?
he doesnt quite know how to make of it, i mean... its not like he has to make any accommodations, the circus is a place for all ages afterall!
i give you this new concept: dad caine
lightly scolds you when you threaten someone, bad manners!
i think he would be like a stereotypical eccentric dad
in house adventures seem to tone down just a touch so theyre not too intense or dangerous for you, keeps an eye on you to make sure you dont get stuck anywhere or flung across the room
rip bubble, you probably pop them when theyre within a foot of you
pinches your cheek only to have his hand comically chomped off ("now now (reader)! what did i tell you about biting! time out!)
Tumblr media
POMNI:
similar confusion that caine has, but like, more so
how did a kid even get their hands on one of the headsets??
honestly i think pomni might be the type to be uncomfortable around kids; she doesnt hate them she just doesnt know what to do with them
also kids can possess a different kind of cruelness when they really put their minds to it and shes already in a mentally precarious position as it is
she doesnt avoid you though!
was bitten a grand total of one times, she made the mistake of trying to take you somewhere during an IHA and she didnt make you aware that she was going to put her hand on your shoulder
Tumblr media
JAX:
okay you cant swear in the circus, but i feel like jax has some very creative ways to work around that, making these new colorful euphemisms that dont skip out on the crudeness. he teaches you some of his favorites just to watch the world burn
lightning fast reflexes, should you try to bite or hit him; not that hes going to try to put his hands on you
actually
i can see him picking you up via scooping his hands under your arms, or literally just holding you up by the scruff of your next
congrats theres now the image of jax holding a flailing sheep child in our heads. his shins will be kicked in the second you get put down
thinks its funny when people have to do double takes when you let out a threat or say something dark
Tumblr media
RAGATHA:
i think she would be a cool babysitter, or big sister figure to you
similar to caine she will lightly scold you when you're being 'rude'
doesnt try to figure out why you dont like being touched, also respects it. respects your space as well, she doesnt totally baby you
she is a little sad that a kid so young got stuck in the digital world, though
even if you could remember things, i dont think she would ask out of fear of possibly upsetting you
likes making you little things (small pillows, plushes, ect) since i can see her being into sewing.. might be because shes a doll, though
Tumblr media
KINGER:
i said it once and ill say it again, kinger is dad. like i already hc he had kids before getting stuck in the digital world, but i also like to hc that he and gangle have a dad/kid relationship, at least when kinger was less... paranoid
like he still has the capacity to be a father figure to you, but i think with you being a little... ermrmfl.. he might be a little put off
tells you stories about "being a king" (ie embellishing the one time he was put in charge during an IHA ages ago) and tells you about some previous in house adventures
youre so short he genuinely doesnt see you approaching sometimes so he either gets jumpscared by you or literally trips over you on accident
is so so apologetic once he gets over the initial shock of suddenly meeting the floor
really if you follow this guy around and show interest in his interests hes gonna adopt you
he knows your threats arent empty, even if they arent hes not going to try to find out
Tumblr media
ZOOBLE:
zooble seems like the type of person to find some vague amusement in kids swearing or saying out of pocket stuff, i cant explain why
cant teach you swear words thanks to the censoring of the digital world but hey... they can still spell it out...
honestly i hc that zooble themselves doesnt like being touched so hey you dont have to worry about that, they personally get it
cool older sibling energy. while ragatha gives off sweet n caring older sister, zooble gives off the energy of a cool older sibling who like. idfk skateboards or something
zooble skateboarding real
not much else to say here
Tumblr media
GANGLE:
similar to pomnis but this is more so because gangle is intimidated by other people thanks to her shyness!
i think gangle would be in the same boat as you and zooble, in terms of touching, but in gangles case its because shes made of ribbon and thus can be pushed around very easily
would cry on the off chance you snap at her :(
she lets you into her room sometimes to let you draw with her! kids like drawing right?
thats her reasoning, at least
i mean hey, it gives you something to do and gives you a break from all the chaos
actually pretty okay when her comedy mask isnt broken, actually makes an attempt to properly get to know you and crack a few jokes

TADC Drabble: After episode 3 I have a mighty need for a sleepover inside Kinger’s pillow fort. I know you just wrote the chess game in there but please. Make them do slumber party activities
If there's anything to be grateful for here, it's that Zooble has become the circus's homebody. Pomni was pretty sure they did it out of boredom rather than actual passion, but, regardless, they had plenty of time while Caine was throwing them through adventures to tidy up, help Bubble set the table, and scour the playground for pillows. All of said pillows went immediately to Kinger's fort, which was both bigger on the inside and the softest place in the digital hellscape.
Pomni was never a fan of the dark, but she is a fan of Kinger in the dark. He's more himself. He's happier. Sometimes he just seemed so frustrated with himself, like his actions in the daylight were a fault instead of an actual mental illness.
"I took computer science," he says conversationally, fingers clenched together over metaphorical knees. "It doesn't mean much now, but... on nights like this, I can help explain the circus to you. There's actually a lot of math involved."
"You remember your major?" Pomni replied, snacking on a cheez-it that was both double the intended size and lacking any textures. The food here didn't taste right-- the same way everything smells weird. AI can't perfectly mimic what a mashed potato is supposed to be because it, itself, has never had a mashed potato. You really only eat to have something to do. He'd mentioned it earlier, but she'd brushed it off as ramblings.
"Oh, yeah," Ragatha chirped. "We all remember stuff like that. You'll get it back eventually." She waved her hand vaguely. "You won't remember faces, or bodies, or names, but you'll remember stuff you liked, stuff you did. That sort of thing."
Jax, propping his paws up on a bump in the blankets, added his two cents. "Pretty sure I was in a band. I'm real good at the bass."
"Same," said Zooble, with a wince. "I hope I'm not a shitty soundcloud rapper or something."
"I think I was in sales." Ragatha chewed on a string of yarn with an awkward face, like she was trying to smile but couldn't muster it up. "I think I was pretty awful at it."
"You're so honest and naïve." Jax rolled his eyes. "Sales eats suckers like you for breakfast." He flexed his fingers, one after the other, and tacked on: "I think I vaped."
"Oh, I smoked a lot of weed."
"And you say we aren't destined for each other, Zoob-Zoob."
"I did my art professionally," Gangle chirped, showing off her newest sketch of Zooble yeeting Jax into a pit. "And I never walk when I remember things, so I think I might be paralyzed."
Normally, that would've made Pomni say something sympathetic, but Gangle said it with such longing she really didn't think she could begin to cover it. The air in the room was sad and stifled, but their voices were so fond. They were happy to remember.
Maybe a little more prodding. Just to keep them smiling.
"Well," Pomni said, tapping her knees. "I dunno what I did yet, but I think we can cross horror gamer off the list."
"I dunno, Pom. I could see a fanbase of nerds who like to watch girls freak out over monsters."
Her face did a little scrunch at that. "I'm not good at video games, though. I'd never finish anything."
"I think," said Kinger, and everyone fell quiet to listen. People rarely interrupted Kinger, Pomni found. "I think I was designing a computer game."
"Like the ones in cereal boxes?"
"Big ones. Massive ones." He held out his hands as if to show distance. "I just... can't remember if we finished it."
"Maybe it's a hit," Ragatha suggested.
"Maybe," he said, and sighed.

I feel like
today's been good
so ykw what that means
How would the cast react to the process of y/n abstracting?
- 📃
A/N: this ask could not have come at a better time. I have something very special to post after this.
WARNING: angst, abstraction
~~~
CAINE: No...not again. He's rarely around to see it actually happen, but it's just as horrific as he remembers. He mournfully levitates them and opens the pit to the cellar. His eyes water as he lowers them down, feeling the stab of guilt tearing through his code. After sealing them away, he retreats to the void.
POMNI: She just watches, completely numb. She's the last person y/n sees before the abstraction takes them. "I'm sorry..." She can't allow herself to feel. Not now. The pain would be too great.
RAGATHA: She put herself in harms way trying to help y/n. Tries to literally hold them together. Only to get glitched again. She's in unbearable pain until Caine can correct it, but it gets worse every time someone new abstracts.
JAX: He's in his room. Much like Kinger, he can just tell. His left eye twitches, the sclera flashing pink. "Again....and again... We're all due for the cellar."
GANGLE: She can't watch. She cries against Zooble.
ZOOBLE: She holds Gangle tightly like she's her last lifeline. If anything ever happened to Gangle...She knew she'd be next for the cellar.
KINGER: He's completely dissociating in his pillow fort. He's developed a sixth sense for when people are starting to go, and he hides away. When someone abstracts, there's nothing more you can do for them.
GUMMIGOO: He finally understands why everyone is so afraid. Why the humans are so tense all the time. Why they speak of abstraction like a curse. This is the worst thing he's ever witnessed.
LOO: She holds Ragatha, feeling the intense effects of the glitch. It's the closest she will ever come to understanding the human's pain. Seeing a friend disappear into darkness like that...
SETH: He wasn't around when it happened. They just disappeared from the races. That only means one thing. "Another one. Fuck." He has a smoke, trying to convince himself that he shouldn't be mourning. He shouldn't care. But...
ABEL: If they abstract, they're too weak to exist here. Good riddance.

Tadc Multiverse part 1
(this takes place after episode 2)
Pomni stepped out of her room. It was only her 3rd day here, yet she was already growing tired of the place. Looking around she noticed an unfamiliar darkness cast over the circus. Wearily she walked down the hall to Ragatha's room, she had to know something! Right? Pomni knocked on the door waiting for an answer.
"Hello... Ragatha? Can you hear me? It's me Pomni."
No response. She tried the door but found it too to be locked. She walked down the hall to Kinger, perhaps he knew something or was perhaps awake. The same response, nothing. She decided to walk out of the hallway. Shockingly, Caine seemed to be simply sitting, waiting for something. Even far away she could tell something was off about him. She walked gingerly up to him. His eyes were glowing with green text. It appeared to be code.
"That's... odd."
She tapped him, and he gave a response. Yet it was not him. A keyboard appeared, it didn't seem to be plugged in to anything yet it was clearly somehow connected to Caine. Pomni approached it excitedly.
"Ooh, is this what I think it is?"
Carefully she pressed a letter, the screen matching the input.
A_
Once she had her confirmation, she began to type, somehow she was able to remember enough of her previous life to code. The letters and words lit up on the screen, and finally she pressed run. If she did this right she would finally have her escape.
Suddenly, and unexpectedly Caine disappeared. Before she could have any response to this a sudden explosion happened, she was unable to see how much it damaged but it flung her deep into the void. She recognized where Caine had originally showed her, in the brief instant that she passed it, this was not her final destination. Her body was incomprehensibly mangled whilst traveling at such high speeds in this digital world, and despite her urge to scream, she seemed to have no mouth.
After hours of agonizing pain and torture she landed. She landed in a spot seemingly barren of color compared to where she was. Upon further inspection, she realized that she was in a room, the walls painted a pale blue, and the floor a grey carpet. The room seemed to go on for what many would call forever. There were countless tables. They all had similar items scattered on top, though with changes between tables, and a, fairly new to her, yet somewhat familiar circus layout. She looked closer and noticed that the items were more than that, they matched their digital personas. The tables were arranged in circles around a central table. Hers was one of the closest to the center. She saw the miniature character that matched her appearance exactly. Suddenly that table displayed what appeared to be an error message. It started falling into the ground
Finally she screamed.
Her miniature finally started sinking in and she felt a pressure, somehow she knew she was linked to it. She picked it up and to her horror, the leg appeared to be glitched, obtaining an abstracted appearance not unlike Kaufmo, though exclusively on the leg. Even worse, when she looked down, she also had the same defect.
She mustn't worry about that now. She needed to find a way out of here, because where ever here was, she was clearly not supposed to be. She placed her miniature on one of the other tables, and suddenly she was sucked away the vacuum pulling her. As she was sucked away she noticed a small button appear in her hand. That was the last thing she saw before her next agonizing journey through the void began.

Blind Reaction to Episode 3 of TADC (without context)
Contains spoilers
I like how they’re all hanging out and spending time together. Does show they do things outside of the adventure and they’re (mostly) friends with each other
Could be wrong, but I think we’ve had a mini-time skip. I think it’s been at least a few days in between episodes. I was actually kind of hoping there’d be one in this episode, but can’t say for certain that’s the case
Soon you’ll realize there is no spoon
Wonder how useful these little things each of them have is
Apparently, the backward speech is “I can’t wait for the children in the audience to get horrible nightmares from the monster(s).”, I may be in my twenties, but you succeed.
Peggy? Isn’t that the main character from Sunset Paradise?
Same, Pomni. Same.
Ok, so maybe no time skip
He really wants Zooble’s approval. It’s his thing to entertain everyone, and everyone is not entertained
Who ya goin’ call? Ghostbusters!
I can kind of see the Murder Drones inspiration with that door. Or maybe it’s more the same effects used for the fleshy bits
Just because he can summon anyone he wants where he wants, he chooses not to. Despite doing horribly at the adventures and traumatizing everyone, he’s at least considerate to a degree
Yeah, definitely Bubble, not you
Me when trying to talk to someone but I’m autistic and can’t always articulate what I want well
I can’t believe I actually remember the random line out of context for Caine because I laughed
*flashes of scary faces* haha, I’m not going to enjoy this
I’m literally Pomni in this situation
Wait, he’s going to hunt the cast? Is he a secret cannibal or something like that?
Flashbacks to episode one
Watching it back, there’s actually a lot of foreshadowing of what the creature is in the office. Drawings, books, photos. Lots of blink-and-miss things
Lucid Kinger moment?
It’s gone, isn’t it?
This isn’t regular darkness. This is… advance darkness!
“What was that?” “Who do you think it was? it was me!” “Are… are you my conscience?”
Love the 2D effect of the eyes
me in several inappropriate settings
Me at night when it’s love bug season
Nope.
Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope! No-
I’m not kidding when I say I am not a big fan of horror, at all. I hid behind my Pomni plushy when the head was screaming
Checkmate Canon?!
That’s going to haunt me for a while
So Caine is aware and even admits he’s torturing the humans. He’s just doing it out of ignorance
Stop changing the subject!
The existential horror of being in a body that’s not your own and even with the allusion of being able to change it it’s essentially pointless is not the problem. The problem is the adventures!
What would happen if Caine abstracts? Half wonder if that’s what’s going to happen in the end of the series. With the circus being an extension of him, it’s a little scary to think about the implications
Poetic irony and tragedy with the main guy of this story
Obviously there’s some parallels between the made up story and whatever happened to Kinger. He’s getting more lucid with each tape and almost looks reminiscent and a tad bit guilty
Just ask nicely and the ghosts won’t bother you
These are tears of laughter and not because I’m scared *hugs plushy tighter*
The lore information really isn’t great with its timing and placement, but at the same time it is
They have great recording mechanics in the underworld
Martha!!!
Deserved. Probably tried to suck up Martha
Kind of half wished we got a full body look of Martha, mostly because I want to know how accurate my drawing is. But at least I was partially right on there being a lot of bows to her design.
*sees confetti* *previous episode flashbacks*
Is the hell she’s in metaphorical or literal? That’s the real question isn’t it?
And now she’s possessed
That’s why he was smacking Pomni with the gun
That’s just cruel, man
Kinger lore?
Pomni lore??
Who is He???
Tumblr media
Checkmate Canon?!?!?!?!?!
I’m not crying, you are!
It’s canon *crying from happiness as well as the sad bit of the story we got*
It’s a bit unexpected that Quennie is the one who likes bugs. Pretty much everyone assumed it was Kinger, but it was the other way around
This! This is what I’ve been wanting for a long time! the importance of friendship and having other people around you. almost everything now made is like, super toxic, or only about the romance. What about the relationships of people would care for each other deeply without wanting to kiss or sleep with each other, or it being manipulative? Clearly I’ve been starving since Friendship is Magic ended, and now, I’m getting my fix.
Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy a good romance (emphasis on the good) as much as the next person, and there are definitely some toxic relationships that can make for good drama. I just… I don’t know, I want more wholesome platonic/familial relationships in media. is that too much to ask for?
Gooseworx, thank you
Legitimately though, why does he glow?
I also like the appreciative moment between Ragatha and Pomni. I actually hope they become the best of friends.
Sentient AI cannot understand expressions. Neither can I sometimes
And that’s episode 3

- REMEMBER ME
Summary: When you get stuck in the amazing digital circus the last thing Jax expects is to see and somehow remember the woman he loves…but why? Why only you? Why not anything else and how?
Pairing: Jax x fem!reader
Category: angst + fluff
Disclaimer: My interpretation of the lore is not rock solid and should not be taken as fact. I am not involved in the creation of the show and have limited information on subjects required to write this fan fiction. Thus I will be using what works best for the plot and information blatantly avaaible in the pilot episode of ‘The Amazing Digital Circus’. Enjoy!
Tumblr media
READER PERSPECTIVE
The halls were dark and absent of light or color, at least to me. My co workers stared at me in pity and concern. As if I were a victim of a terrible accident. Then again what happened could hardly be an accident, I mean they all knew what happened to my boyfriend of 7 years yet they idly stood by and allowed it to happen. I hated them.
What sent me over the edge? A ring. We could’ve gotten married had it not been for them and their negligence. Stumbling towards the glass window where my friends were on display put tears in my eyes. The characters they’d created being their new bodies. My sorrow quickly transformed into something else when I saw the blood leaking from one of their mouths.
Kade had died. Apparently his body couldn’t handle abstraction like some of the others. While the mental damage was permanent there was a way out, you’d just have to be strong enough. Kade wasn’t, but it was okay because this was my one opportunity.
“Can I be next?!” I asked in anticipation. My boss stared at me intensely. “Why should I, I just sent in Poppy for this exact reason, to replace Kaufmo.” He rolled his eyes. “Well you didn’t know he was dead and you sent her anyways please let me replace Kaufmo instead!” I begged, I had to, anything was better than this. “Fine… boys set her up, she’s going in” I smiled, for the first time in a long time I was happy.
____
I sat down calmly as the headset was placed on me, a bunny, just like his, we’d designed them together for fun when we were 17, when the project had first released. People complained about lack of humanity in the characters, perhaps the company took it personally seeing as I am where I am right now. I felt my conscious slip as the IV was injected into me so I couldn’t feel the piercing pain I normally would’ve.
Was I an idiot? Maybe so. I wouldn’t remember any of this soon and want to return so why leave. Why not face it. Truth be told, a life without the boy id been with since 15 was no life at all. People do the craziest things when they’re in love…
___
Joyful music played as I entered the circus. I could hear someone speaking and then the singing began.
“As gangle, and Kinger and Pomni too, Ragatha, and Jax (Ah!) and then there’s Zooble! (Woo-Hoo) Many wonders can be found, send ya spinning round and round until you fly, to the moon and then the sun and we don’t know why! You won’t believe your eyes, prepare for a surprise, don’t touch that door there’s so much more you don’t know what’s in store watch out for the-“
Cheery music oddly theme song sounding stopped immediately…
—-
that’s the end folks! Let me know if this is actually decent or worth reading it was just a fun little Drabble

It could've been fine. She could've been fine. She was innocent. She didn't do shit to deserve the type of treatment she got. Some people just enjoy to watch others suffer. They will always say that they don't, but they know damn well that's a lie! They don't give two shits about who gets hurt as long as they get what they want. Thank God, everyone found a way out. Thank God, everyone was able to leave this fucked up place behind. The mental scars will forever be with her but at least we have each other. Me and her. Hand in hand. Away from this hell.
- Years earlier-
"This game is gonna put us on top!" A tall man named Abel smiled as he exclaimed with excitement. His little brother, Caine, had a soft smile on. Abel was boasting about how this might actually be the most useful thing Caine has done. Caine was used to this and just kinda picked at his nails.
Seeing this, Able stopped boasting.
"What now, Caine?"
Caine looked up.
"I didn't do anything."
Able seems annoyed.
"Don't ruin my good mood."
Caine rolls his eyes and bites his nails but soon gets stopped by Able.
"Will you stop acting weird!?"
Caine flinched due to Able's yelling.
"I'm sorry!"
Abel rolled his eyes and wraps his arms around his younger brother.
"Chill out. This is gonna work out."
"I never said it wasn't gonna work."
Able got agitated.
"Caine."
Caine knew this was a sign to shut up. The brothers made their way out to many other adults and Able gave Caine a glance as he tried to talk to other people. At seeing Able's glance Caine didn't end up saying anything. It was almost as if they had a secret.
A terrible secret.

--Today's log: ....... The day she arrived--
The theme song was slow and the audience really had a chance to laugh their asses off about the pain the Ragdoll, called Ragatha, was in. She had failed numerous time to cross the tightrope enduring a huge amount of pain at the punishment for failing.
Nearby the rabbit was with the small girl made of Ribbon and a comedy mask on. The rabbit called Jax laughed to the girl called Gangle.
"Do you see her, haha!"
Gangle laughed along with the rabbit and the two had to hold onto eachother so they don't fall over laughing.
A large chess piece called Kinger approached the two and asked what was so funny. A wheezing Jax pointed to Ragatha who, with their (un)lovable Ringmaster by her side, kept falling off the tightrope. Kinger naturally started to join in on the laughing.
Suddenly, the Chaotic music gliched out and made everyone turn in the direction of their newest member. Her. Caine, the Ringmaster, was the first to get in her face.
"Oh wow! Another soul to torture!"
The new girl, who took the form of a Jester, looked around in pure terror and muttered:
"He knew what he was doing...."
Caine, not liking the face she ignored him, poked the small jester in the shoulder.
"Hey hello. Welcome to your new home!"
The jester looked at him, blinked, and then started to freak out.
"AAHHH!! What the fuck is going on!"
Caine, being angered by her sudden cuss, didn't hesitate to hit the poor girl. At seeing Caine hit her, Jax, Gangle, and Kinger started laughing loudly. The confused girl took the hit deep. She held her cheek and felt tears in her eyes. It had been so long since she was touched and the sudden hit caught her off guard.
"Chill out! This circus has to be top notch!"
The girl looked up at the Ringmaster and felt her stomach curl. She felt her insides move around as Caine practically ranted to her. Soon, he asked her for her name. She couldn't remember..
"I-I don't remember..."
Caine was about to chose a name for her when Jax chimed in.
"Let's call her Pomni!"
Caine, looked over and nodded.
"Welcome to your new home, Pomni!!!"
The jester, now called Pomni, felt her face get warm. A overheating type of warm. The Ragdoll wanted to welcome the new member but everytime she got close Jax would aggressively grab her arm and stop her. Made her wonder why.
Despite this, Ragatha still found a way to go up to her.
"H-Hey..! You're Pomni right?"
Pomni looked over at her, a scared look on her face.
"Y-Yeah..."
"I-I'm---"
She got cut off by Jax who stood behind her with his hands on his hips.
"What the fuck did I say Rag-Doll?"
Ragatha, who got caught off guard, jumped and faced Jax.
"J-Jax!?"
Jax chuckled and grabbed Ragatha by her neck. She struggles but he tightens his grip and gets in her face.
"If you know what's good for you I suggest you leave the newbie alone. Caine doesn't want us to talk to her. Is that understood?"
Ragatha tried to push him off but he pushed her to the ground, scaring Pomni. He then got on top of her and ,despite her fighting to get him off, pinned her down and go in her face. Nose to nose.
"Do you understand!?"
She started to breathe heavily and nod frantically. Jax got up off her but kicked her before leaving. She groaned in pain and Pomni went to her.
"A-Are you okay...?"
Ragatha breathed heavily but grabbed Pomni by her shoulder and pulled her down. She let out a shocked gasp but wanted to know what she was doing.
"K-Keep yourself safe. Don't let Jax manipulate you. He has Caine wrapped around his finger."
Pomni was worried for her and saw Jax and Gangle nearby staring at the two. Pomni, ignoring the two, helped her up and walked her to her room, scoffing as she walked by Jax and Gangle. Gangle crosses her arms and looked over at Jax.
"You gonna let that slide?"
Jax chuckled.
"Hell no, partner. She will pay for that."
He leans on her shoulder.
"She will be begging to leave when I'm done."

Pester the Jester
A Ragapom fic based off the song "Pester the Jester"
Don't know why I'm still searching. 
The door slams. Footsteps trudge to the next door. A blue gloved hand reaches out and turns the knob. 
Don't know why I'm even looking. 
Door opens. Not an exit. Door slams. 
For a way to get back home again. 
I reach for the next door, only to find there were no more. I slowly turn, feet shuffling on the red carpet. I had checked every single door in this long hallway. One of many hallways. Every door was empty of the one thing I wanted. My feet move in slow, mechanical movements. Down the hall back the way I had come. Into the main area. Into another hall. Into my room. Again. A hand that is mine but doesn't feel like it locks the door behind me. Again. I drag myself over to my bed, falling face-first into the soft blanket. But that was ok. Because I didn't need to breathe, did I? After all, this was just a game. A sick, twisted game.
 I jerk out of my thoughts as a soft knock comes from my door. "Darling? Are you ok?" A voice asks from the other side, muffled but still clear with concern. Her voice "Feeling fine." I lie loudly, not bothering to raise my head off the bed, so it comes out sounding distorted. But, now that I said that, I realize...I kind of did feel better now. But I didn't know why. 
There was just something about her, something about the ragdoll that made me want to beg with my hands on the floor for her to drag me by the arm out of these dark spiraling thoughts, to give me all her charm, to tell me I would always be hers. Inside, I was craving her, craving another hit of that, of just hearing her voice, or seeing her smile, or her touching my shoulder for a brief moment before pulling away as she remembered I didn't like being touched, even though I didn't mind being touched by her. Honestly, she was like an angel, I was crazy for her. I growl in frustration into a pillow, annoyed by my own pestering thoughts. But then suddenly, I wasn't holding a pillow, and I wasn't in my room. 
I was also currently defying the laws of gravit- 
"OMPH!" Nevermind. I wince as I hit the ground full-force on my face, the black and white tiled floor hard enough the crack my teeth, or my skull. "Pomni, are you ok?" A soft voice asks, sounding a bit startled. 
I raise my head slowly, pupils now spinning spirals as the world slowly settles back into focus. I blink hard a few times, disoriented. I had been teleported to the main area of the circus, in front of the stage, along with the other 5 people trapped in this hell with me. I slowly stand up, shaking my still-fuzzy head in an attempt to clear it and look across from me to the owner of that soft voice. "Y-yeah..." I mumble, quickly glancing away.
 "Are you su-" 
"Yeah." The ragdoll nods, but she obviously didn't believe me, because she hadn't just been asking about my fall. Her eye was filled with concern, worried over me. But why? Why would she want to waste of time on me? I look away, only to sneak another look at the beautiful doll. I don't know why I'm looking, don't know why I feel the need to stare, whenever she's near me.
 "GOODNIGHT MY SUPERSTARS!" A voice booms, making me jump. Caine materialized in the air above us all, hovering there as he beamed at us- at least I thought he did. It was hard to tell, you know with him just being...teeth. "It's noon." Jax grumbles, narrowing his sickly yellow eyes at the deranged ringmaster. "WELL THEN, GOODNOON MY SUPERSTARS!" The purple rabbit's permanent smirk shrunk in annoyance, but he didn't comment any further. "TODAYS ADVENTURE IS GOING TO BE THE BEST ONE YET!" The pair of teeth shouts. Theres a few mumbles of irritation around the room, but it settles down quickly. "TODAY, I HAVE A SPECIAL SCAVENGER HUNT PREPARED! I HAVE RELEASED ALL OF KINGERS INSECTS LOOSE INTO THE CIRCUS!" I hear Ragatha make a strangled noise in the back of her throat. "YES, RAGATHA, I MEAN ALL OF THEM! YOU MUST CATCH ALL THE INSECTS AND PUT THEM IN THE JARS I WILL GRACIOUSLY PROVIDE! THE PERSON WHO COLLECTS THE MOST INSECTS WILL GET A PRIZE!" The ringmaster proclaims. "SO GOOD LUCK, AND HAVE FUN MY LITTLE SUPERSTARS!" He disappears in a cloud of smoke. There's a moment of silence, before Jax bursts out laughing. 
"Ah, God, this will be a fun adventure!" He wheezes, glancing at the ragdoll, who's single black eye was darting around in panic, body tensed up. I cringe a little, remembering the dolls fear of centipedes. Gangle gives Ragatha a sympathetic look. "I-its ok Ragatha. I-I'm pretty sure Kinger only had a few centipedes in his collection." She whispers, the tears on her mask falling to the ground when the doll whimpers slightly. 
"I have exactly 3 centipedes!" The chess piece blurts. I yelp and flinch away from him, having not realized he was standing next to me. "Their names are Omi, Anni, and Sepa! Did you know that centipedes can climb up walls and ceilings at up to 24 miles per hour!?"  Ragatha's eye widens and her breathing hitches as her panicked gaze darted to the king piece. He blinks his wide blue eyes and he looks around, suddenly baffled. "...Where am I? Whats a fork!?!" 
I eye him nervously as Ragatha walks towards me, managing a weak smile. "Hey Pomni, do you want to look for the insects together?" She asked, seeming to have gotten a hold of herself, though she still kept glancing at the floor as she walked, looking out for the 13-legged bugs. I nod, shooting her a smile back. Of course she wanted to work with me. Over the past few weeks, we had basically become a pair, always doing adventures together, me to get them over with and Ragatha out of genuine interest. Though, I was still confused on why she wanted to stick with me and not, say, Gangle. I mean, I was assuming she had started pairing up with me because of my little mental breakdowns, but I hadn't had any for about a week (at least, not where anyone could see), so why not stick with someone else? 
"Pomni?" The concerned voice dragged me out of my thoughts, and I realized I hadn't answered the doll. "Yeah, of course!" I stutter, feeling my face begin to tingle, and getting a bit light headed. She smiles at me, and I look away quickly. 
"^!#!!" I whisper under my breath, cringing when a loud honking noise comes out instead of the swearword. Ragatha frowns at me. "Hm?" 
"Ugh, he didn't even give us the jars to catch the dumb insects with!" Zooble interrupts, saving me from having to respond to Ragatha. They cross their arms and pace a few steps, as a pile of jars appears in the air right over their head, hovering for a moment before crashing down on top of them with comedic sounds. Everyone gasps and cringes (except Jax, who laughs his ass off, and Kinger who just screams) and rushes to check on them. "I'm....fine..." The jumble of shapes insists, dragging themselves out from the pile, only to discover they were missing a leg and turning back around, digging through the now-shattered jars to find their limb and ignoring everyones offer of help. "Well... I guess we should get to finding those...bugs..." Ragatha says, voice trailing off nervously at the end. I nod and follow her, noting how tense the ragdoll was. We only walk for a few minutes before- 
"ACK!" Ragatha screeches, stumbling backwards and grabbing my arm tightly. I jump, panicked at her sudden movement and scream. "Wha-" I start to ask, before spotting the source of her distress. A spider was crawling idly along the wall near her, making it's way to God knows where. I automatically punch it, smushing it into a black stain. I shudder and try to wipe the black mark off my blue glove. I freeze when I realize the doll was still clutching my arm, almost painfully tight. "S-sorry about that Pomni..." She mumbles sheepishly. "I...thought it was a centipede..." I nod absently, staring at her hand clutching my arm. She follows the direction of my gaze, quickly letting go. "Sorry, I forgot you didn't like touch." She blurts hurriedly, rubbing her own arm awkwardly. I nod and start walking again, face heating up. She was right. Normally I despised physical contact, but this time it was...different. It still felt a bit wrong, still made me feel a bit itchy, but overall it was...nice. Honestly, I would do anything for her to just hold my arm like that, would beg with my hands on the floor. I sneak a glance at the pretty doll, feeling strangely charmed by her awkward arm-rubbing, her slow swaying gait. We walk in silence, with me subtly killing a few more insects we encountered whenever I spotted one. I knew the point of the adventure was to capture them, but we didn't have anything to trap them in, and I didn't think carrying around jars filled with bugs would help with Ragatha's fear anyways. I’m just punching another one when suddenly the lights blink off. I sigh. Of course they did. Why wouldn’t they? 
“You ok?’ I ask Ragatha, relaxing when I hear the ragdoll murmur that she was. We continue without a word. "H-hey Pomni..." She says quietly. "Hm?" "Can I ah....can I hold your hand?" She ducks her head a little as the words come out of her mouth. “I know you're not big on touch, but I keep feeling like there's centipedes crawling all over me.” The last words are barely audible.I glance over at her, barely able to make out her form in the dark. 
“...Yeah.” I say, reaching over to her. My hand hovers uncertainty near hers for a moment, before gently gripping it. I feel her flinch, it pulling away from my grasp for a moment before relaxing again. We venture forward into the darkness, taking comfort in each other's presence. 
It feels like hours before we finally reach an area of the circus where the lights are working. But on the bad side, it looked like a maze. I make a small noise of frustration in the back of my throat. “Well, at least we can see now!” The ragdoll says brightly, plastering a smile on her face. I nod as she walks forward, seeming a bit more confident now as she unintentionally drags me forward with her, still clutching my hand. I stare at her hand in mine, a bit puzzled. Why? The lights were back. She didn’t have to keep holding my hand. I just couldn’t comprehend the reason why she still wanted to hold my hand. 
She glances back at me, seemingly confused on why I wasn’t walking with her. She follows my gaze, looking at our hands. 
“You…don’t mind if I keep holding your hand, do you?” She asks. The words come out slowly, hesitant. “You don’t have to, I know you don’t like- sorry.” She says, slipping her hand from mine. 
“No!” The word passes my lips without my consent. “I mean- no, I don’t mind. You can keep holding it.” 
The doll’s eye widens in surprise, before sliding her hand back into mine. We both stare at each other before looking away, feeling my face heat up as she leads me to the beginning of the maze. Why did she want to keep holding my hand? I mean, it seemed a bit…
We were just friends.
Right?
The silence continues, though now it seemed more malevolent, pressing against me, suffocating me as I try to sort through my thoughts. 
“Pomni…”
“Hm?”
The ragdoll stops, turning towards me. “Theres…” She stops, taking a deep breath. “There's something I’ve been wanting to tell you for a while- or ask, I mean.” She stumbles over her words, which was out of character for the doll. 
“Since…I mean, for a while now… We…you…” She stammers, before shaking her head violently, sighing. 
“...I like you.” She blurts. “What I’m trying to say is, I like you, as in more than a friend and-” She pauses, black eye studying me, trying to gauge my reaction. “...I just want to know if you feel the same way.” 
I freeze up, stunned. Because her words, they just confused me with the way they made all these giddy feelings bubble up, the way she wooed me. 
“But…why?” I whisper softly.
“W-what?”
I take a step back, feeling the giddy emotions being replaced with darker ones, drowning them out. 
“Why do you like me? I mean, I left you with Kaufmo that first day, I-I hurt you. You were in pain, and I just left you there.” My breathing quickens as panic fills me, confusion and misery, worthlessness and shame join in the fun, taunting me, drowning me as my voice gets louder, tears clogging my throat. Ragatha watches me with a wide eye, taking a step toward me with an arm outstretched, ready to give comfort I didn’t deserve.
“I mean, why should you even bother? I’m just a lamb left to the slaughter!” I laugh hysterically, hands rising up and tearing at the dumb hat on my head, yanking on the ends. “I’m the most fragile, the one who’s going to end up abstracting soon, SO WHY EVEN BOTHER CARING ABOUT ME?!” The last words rip themselves out of me as a scream. I pant, trying to catch my breath. “I just…don’t know why.” My legs tremble as exhaustion suddenly overwhelms me. “Could you please tell me why?” I close my eyes, letting myself slump to the floor on my knees. Tears leak from my eyes as there's a long beat of silence, broken by the sound of soft plush feet making their way towards me. I hear the sound of cloth rubbing against fabric as she sits down in front of me. 
“Just…why?” I whisper. Why would this amazing, kind, beautiful girl want me of all people? Why would she want me to be hers? The quiet stretches on, any hope I had being diminished by it. Then, suddenly, I feel plush hands on my shoulders. I open my teary eyes, lifting my head to look at this beautiful, sweet girl. She opens her mouth, but for once she doesn’t seem to know what to say. Wet pinwheel pupils stare into a wide black eye as he hands trail up from my shoulders to my face, cradling it. She wipes a tear from my cheek as she leans in slowly, hesitantly, pausing with her face just a centimeter away from mine. She hovers there for a moment, before seeming to gather every last scrap of her courage and pressing her lips to mine. 
My eyes widen in shock as soft, sweet lips make contact with mine. For a moment I’m just completely confused, all the emotions in me warring with each other. But slowly, the good feelings win, pushing out the darker, deadlier ones as I close my eyes and lean into the kiss, raising a hand to press the dolls more firmly against my cheek. I trace idle circles on the back of her hand as the kiss deepens. All too soon, it ends, both of us pulling away, breathing hard as my pulse jumps and skitters nervously. We stare at each other with shell-shocked eyes. I was already craving another kiss even though I know I don’t deserve this, as I try to shove this feeling below surface. 
“That was…” We both murmur at the same time, giggling nervously at how our voices blended together. We glance away from each other, cheeks red as I feel the need creep over me, the need for another hit of this. 
“C-couldn’t I get another kiss?” I murmur, pinwheel pupils flicking towards the doll. She just smiles and leans towards me, pulling me into her as our lips meet each other again.
Oh, how she pestered the jester,
She pestered the jester,
Pestered the jester with this.

OK. I just had a Fic request, and stay with me on this.
Pomni ends up becoming a Negaboss somehow, but Caine thinks it's abstraction, so the others have to help her before she's put in the cellar
Ooh! That would be interesting! Anyways, here you go!
If there's one golden rule that everyone should always remember when it comes to being put in stressful situations, it's to never panic. No matter what happens, one must remain calm always.
Unfortunately for Pomni, that was easier said than done. Since she arrived into this "Wonderworld" place, she was just as terrified as she was when she first entered the Digital World.
Plus, it didn't help that Balan had an energetic nature despite meaning well. Whenever he popped up, this would cause Pomni to jump.
Now, to make matters worse, Pomni found herself in a rather strange place. One where everything around her was rather dark and gloomy. "Hello!?" Pomni called out, fear wavering in her voice.
There wasn't even a reply back. Pomni felt her knees wobble. Before she knew it, she was hyperventilating from the sight of the darkness.
And then, she started to change.
"Hey, have any of you guys seen Pomni?" Ragatha asked the two maestros and her friends.
"Eh, she must have had one of her episodes somewhere else," Jax guessed, shrugging his shoulders. He still had the laid back grin on his face.
"I'm sure that Pomni will come around, Ragatha," Gangle said. "Maybe she's still trying to get used to Wonderworld."
Before Lance could say anything, a loud roar grabbed everyone's attention. "That definitely does not sound like Pomni," Zooble said, having a concerned look while her arms were crossed.
"What if Pomni's in trouble?" Gangle asked. But by doing so, Kinger yelped in shock.
"Oh, you startled me, Gangle," Kinger said. "Now what were we talking about again?"
Suddenly, a Nega boss that neither Balan nor Lance had seen before appeared in front of the group.
"Oh my!" Caine said. "Pomni's been abstracted! She has to go into the cellar!"
But Balan stopped Caine. "My newest friend, this isn't an "abstraction" as you once said. Rather, this is the result of what happens when Visitors let too much negativity into their hearts and heads."
"Wait, are you saying that this large creature is Pomni!?" Ragatha exclaimed, backing away. Jax, Gangle, Kinger, and Zooble looked up at the Nega boss in shock.
"It used to be Pomni, to be exact," Lance said. "When a Visitor gets corrupted, they turn into these beasts which is a sad yet true fact."
"Please tell me there is a way that we can save her," Zooble said.
"Fortunately for you, there is a way," Balan explained. "But it will require you all to fight, I must say."
"Remind me how we can save Pomni before Caine puts her in the cellar," Jax asked.
"Glad you asked, my friend." Balan grinned. "Things may be scary, but it's far from the end." He then snapped his fingers, causing Jax, Gangle, Ragatha, Zooble, and Kinger to be in costumes.
"You really think that this is going to help us save Pomni?" Ragatha asked.
"These costumes are more than just a disguise," Lance explained. "Test it out on the Nega boss and see its ability before your very eyes."
"You know the drill, guys," Zooble said. "Let's go save Pomni. Wherever she is."
"She's most likely in my stage on her own," Lance said. "Follow me, you won't be doing this alone."
Everyone nodded.
They hoped that they could save Pomni before Caine puts her in the cellar.

Some puppeteer split dark aftermath au story (original puppeteer au au belongs to @rorydrawsandwrites )
This takes place right before Jax was saved
I can't remember the last time Gangle let me go or remember being conscious at least. I remember I kept telling myself that I was just saving energy for...something?... fight back?....I can't remember why I was telling myself that?...I remember was a need, a need for what thought? whatever was fueling that determination is gone or I forgot what it was. Thinking about it....I can't remember much in this state, I can't remember the people I pass by in this state, I feel like I should know them but things are coming up blank. Maybe it's an unknown sideffect.
I was just there as Gangle was doing her thing. I can see what she is doing sometimes but most of the time my Brain feels empty. I know we are in the rooms hallway but this time I started noticing something, a jester girl comforting a small paper dog girl......paper?.....paper...Page?- I remember now! Page was a friend, a good friend, almost like a little sister to me She was scared and nervous all the time before I took her under my wing when she was just a kid and needed someone to keep an eye on her she was just a kid, she needed me....she still needs me...That's why I was telling myself that I couldn't leave her like this, but I don't think I can even fight back now....the jester looks at me or I think it was me. She yells something that I can't process. Then I started to feel myself being pulled away from something then I blacked out.
When I woke up I was in a bed staring up at the ceiling...wait this is my ceiling, this is my room! My body feels weird like the feeling of being in water all day. I turned my head and saw people sitting on my floor, wait..the others, kinger, Ragatha, Pomni, Page, and Zooble- wow I thought they didn't care. Page noticed I was up and ran up to my bed and hugged me, it was a little awkward since I was laying down and she was thin as paper but I sat up and hugged her back, it felt comforting to hold my sister again. I noticed Ragtha was close to us like she was going to pull Page away but was too late, I unknowingly pulled Page closer into the hug like if Ragatha was a threat to Page probably shock and brother intuition getting mixed together in a mess. I managed to have the strength to speak up finally.
"what happened?" "Pomni set up a plan to distract you and Gangle so we could remove her from you"
I was kinda shocked by that, I didn't know she could have planned something that would work, but I started to have more questions.
"how long was I like that?" "almost 11 months Jax..."
I felt my stomach drop. That long?....that long under Gangle's-wait where she is, I started to panic and Ragatha noticed.
"where is she??" "She is somewhere where she won't hurt you or anyone else again, calm down you're safe"
I know she isn't telling me everything at the moment probably because Page is here, but hearing that helps me feel better. I'm okay I feel tears welling up in my eyes, but not out of sadness or feel it was relief.
I'm home

Hay...... Do you think you could do tadc characters with a reader who has super bad depth perception (due to an eye injury) and as a result often ends up walking into things because they didn't realise it was right in front of them?? :3 (aka me)
TADC cast x reader who has very bad depth perception!
fuck it we balling!! (admin is now on a small time crunch, theyre not going to explode if they fail to finish this before they timer is up, but they are weird about time stuff) rolls around ehehehhehe i hope you enjoy!! i must admit, admin was a little stumped on this so this might be a little..... meh </3
Tumblr media
CAINE:
i think he blows it out way out of proportion... though im not sure thats the right word... i mean, if you manage to get close to caine (which is quite a feat considering before he didnt really. build genuine connections with circus members as well as being busy with... whatever it is he does...) he doesnt quite.. understand... so i think he insists on being your eyes, utilizing his... thousands of all seeing eyes. he can get overbearing at times so youre going to need to set the record straight and explain things to him... hes a little confused but hes got the spirit.... takes you to his room whenever things get hard (migraine, nausea, ect ect ect) and pampers you... so.. maybe him taking things too far/seriously isnt that bad...
POMNI:
has probably tossed you something before remembering your depth perception... the regret on her face is immediate, spreading over it before you even have the chance to react to whats going on... quick and long stream of apologies as she picks up the thing; it wasnt even likely anything important or fragile
eventually builds the habit to not toss things to people when they ask for something.. offers to read things out for you if you have trouble with it, as well as guiding you to dark places if you have trouble with migraines as well (while admin doesnt have depth perception he does have something funky with his eyes that make them sometimes roll and cross and it suuuucks)
RAGATHA:
oh she is so so so empathetic with you. as mentioned above in pomnis part, if youre prone to nausea or migraines, shes going to do all that she can to help you... usually lets you lay in her bed to collect yourself... helps you judge the distance things are, especially if its in a chaotic situation such as an in house adventure. if you open up to her about the reason behind your bad vision, her heart is going to hurt for you. if you need comfort, she will provide it; if you just need some ears, she will provide. generally very good about accommodating you
JAX:
has probably asked why your eyes look off, assuming they cross or otherwise arent "standard". doesnt really say it to be rude, well.. actually no this is jax hes likely just scoping to see what the deal is, though its more of a curiosity thing. gives a soft "oh" when you briefly explain why. honestly i think he has a habit of tossing things to people when they ask him for something, and i think this would carry over to you.... does sometimes feel bad, but hey! hes not trying to be mean (kinda...)
does not stoop low enough to use your poor depth perception to his advantage for pranks, though. hes an asshole but i dont think he would be that evil tbh...
KINGER:
honestly? same. like i dont think that he has bad eyes thanks to an injury, no rather i think its just because hes OLD!!! so theres times where you guys fail to be each others eyes. you have terrible depth perception, he is shortsighted... uh oh... good news is that hes always keeping an eye on you (no shitty pun intended) due to him constantly worrying about you, so the chance of you somehow being in the way of danger is fairly low.... probably.... if you tend to attract it, though, or are on the clumsier side, rest assured that hes keeping you in the pillow fort!/lh
ZOOBLE:
probably doesnt even notice it at first until you bring it up in passing, and honestly i dont think their view on you would change. sure they would try to be more accommodating for you since theyre not totally apathetic, especially since youre a friend and/or partner... but theyre not too... emotional, so unlike ragatha they wouldnt outwardly give you an excessive amount of.... pity? care? im struggling to find the right word, im afraid... will let you vent about it, though, if the issues that come with it cause any stress.. otherwise doesnt bring it up too much unless you bring it up, both because they dont think its too much of a big deal as well as not wanting to pry
GANGLE:
very sad very empathetic if you ever open up to her about the events leading up to your injury (assuming you remember/it was something that happened in the real world that carried into the digital world), and perhaps sheds a tear for you. helps you read and write things if you struggle with it, as well as even wrapping her ribbon around your eyes should any random bouts of nausea roll in. generally very sweet about it but is very careful about not stepping over any lines, tends to ask before doing something (especially with the blindfolding/nausea thing)
