[tadc-harlequin-au]

I may be a little insane (I am a WHOLE lot insane) and dropped a sprinkle of lore. Just a smidge

[amazingdigitalheadcanons]

HOLD ON *dumps pieces of scrap paper on to a table* I GOT A WHOLE BUNCH

-Kinger taught Queenie how to shoot a gun with deadly accuracy

-Kinger and Queenie know how to dance

-Caine in the past would use other character’s lives in the circus as inspiration for his adventures, now he does it subconsciously

-Spudsy meat is made out of Dobby

-Caine’s existence is what’s keeping them trapped in the circus (the circus cannot exist without him, he is its heart and brain) (he’s not even aware of this)

-Adventures used to be once a week because Caine was still new to the whole ordeal (the NPCs sucked)

-In the early days, NPCs used to make a constant appearance in other adventures, but later on they took up too much space so now they’re all mannequins

-What makes up an abstraction is dead code trying to fix itself and failing

-Abstraction is incredibly painful, even afterwards the abstractions can “feel themselves rotting”

-If a player is still in the map while it’s deleted, a “forced abstraction” will occur (the only technically “true” way to die without abstracting the normal way)

-A “forced” abstractee is much different from a normal abstracted, mainly because they didn’t “go crazy” and abstracted (and therefore “kill” their own coding. Instead their code is mangled after falling into “the point of no return” and overcompensate by absorbing the game’s own code

Mini Theory Ahead‼️

-While Kinger did have role in his wife’s death, Caine was also to blame for her abstraction. But instead of taking the blame, he put everything on Kinger, even after when Kinger went insane he continued to fully blame him and even gaslit Kinger into believing he was fully responsible for Queenie’s death.

“Now, being in a position of power like this, you coooould offload the blame to one of your employees and avoid the dock on your score. What do you think?” -Caine to Gangle in Caine’s office, Episode 4 Fast Food Masquerade, 20:45

ACCORDING to Caine, using the backstory of Baron Theodore Mildenhall. What Kinger did to Queenie was comparable to SHOOTING YOUR OWN WIFE

HOWEVER

For someone who is a REAL PERSON, and had something comparable to BEING SHOT BY HER HUSBAND happen to her, Queenie, in the worst state of her life (mentally and physically). DID NOT attack Kinger in the pillowfort despite him “shooting her”, and even leaned into his hand when he touched her.

You could argue that the shooting was more of an “emotional bullet”, however that would not explain why she was so relaxed with him there IN THE WORST STATE OF HER LIFE

Which I would say that it’s more of how Kinger felt about the situation, that he essentially shot his own wife. Not literally, not anything that would equate to that, just the guilt he feels afterwards. Which was what I believed until that line with Caine in his office.

Caine is not a malevolent being, he does not want to cause harm to others. However, he is still an AI that doesn’t fully understand humans.

“W-Well, I don’t know what’s NORMAL to you people!” -Caine in response to Gangle asking for a more normal adventure, Episode 4, 2:50

The entire adventure in episode 3 was for Caine to make something Zooble would like

“Why did you think I would like that?” -Zooble after Pomni explained her and Kinger’s adventure, Episode 4, 2:06

I don’t need to explain the Zooble Therapy Session

There’s more quotes, however I’m going to be saving them for once I make this into a proper theory on my own blog AND this is supposed to be about headcanons not theories!

But the point I’m trying to make is there might be a little more to Queenie’s death that Caine might have more of a role in. Besides, Kinger never struck me as a guy who would hurt his own wife. At least not something comparable to shooting the poor woman. (It’s an emotional bullet, I know, but there’s just something off to me with Kinger being the sole reason why Queenie is dead ((only one shooter)))

Anyways, theory over‼️

-New arrivals aren’t quite linear as sometimes they appear right after someone abstractions, or several months after. Sometimes, they just get added onto the roster without anyone dying

-The Cellar is actually quite big, but they all like to hang around spots where Caine likes to open the cellar at in order to greet the new arrival

-Kinger has very bad survivor’s guilt and just knows instinctually when someone’s going down the spiral to abstraction

-Gangle spent weeks struggling to pick out a name until Jax came along and named her himself and everyone just went along with it

-The first to abstract the arguably the worst since nobody knew what to do or what it was, even Caine didn’t know

-The more violent the abstraction process, the more dangerous and destructive the abstraction

-Kaufmo is one of the weakest abstractions in the Cellar

-The reason why abstractions are so aggressive in light is due to overstimulation

-Despite what he wants people to believe, Jax isn’t actually good with guns

-It took a LOT of begging for Caine to allow them to have guns that didn’t suck

-If you speak in a language that The Amazing Digital Circus isn’t translated in, you can swear in that language

-Slowly players will naturally forget details of their old lives until they’re not sure why they put on the headset

-After seeing what happened with his loved ones after they abstracted, especially his wife, Kinger developed a fear of hurting anyone. Not quite in a pushover way but still in a very self-destructive I-would-sacrifice-my-own-sanity-to-keep-everyone-safe (and in a way he did, although it ended up hurting the others more to see him like that)

-Dobby’s favorite food was hotdogs and put the Spudsy suggestion in the box

-The suggestion box came after Queenie’s death to keep everyone’s mind off of things

-Kinger and Queenie used to make minor suggestions for Caine in his adventures, but after they were gone he made the suggestion box UNDER that premise of “keeping everyone’s mind off of things”. In reality, he wanted advice. But nobody really cared so he forgot about it

-Queenie used to hold her own hand when she was nervous or stressed (whenever Kinger noticed this he held her hand)

-Kinger now holds his own hand when he’s stressed or scared (the same hand where Queenie used to hold it when he got like that)

-The Moon is in love with Caine, and nobody knows who programmed her to be like that

Now that's a lot of headcanons (positive)
