i got bored
Tumblr media
All seeing Eyes AU. Aka tadc cult au because I have a problem.
I did research, and decided to give Caine the fallen angel/devil's son approach.
ANYWYA
Au explanation: ofc, a cult au. Entering the cult's place of residing causes you to forget who you are (similar to entering the circus) allowing you to just sorta.. get pushed into the cult because you don't know what else do do anymore.
Ofc, I made Caine the antagonist because why the fuck wouldn't I, I like making the silly guys evil but still silly lmao.
I kinda got inspiration from @obamerzslop's priest and demon au to do this lmao, as well as feeling nostalgic for my Red eyes au
Reblogs are very appreciated

I respect Jax x Pomni shippers, as well as Kinger x caine shippers, I just don't like them myself and don't want to accidentally stumble upon them in the tag! I do apologize if that's a lot, it just makes me uncomfy! Bounderies can be very tight! :')

MASTER POST
The Experimental Monster Laboratory, or Monster Labs, is a TADC AU where the cast is in the physical world! Sorta..
C&A Research Facilities is one of the cornerstones of the science and medical worlds! They do everything; funding research, manufacturing equipment, and research into the known and unknown in an effort to understand everything. To the public, that is.
They experiment heavily in everything, from hiring literal Gods on earth to manage the more ..sensitive divisions; mixing machine and magic, technology and the supernatural, genetic experimentation, you name it, they’ve probably done it! The world outside may not know anything of the advancements they’re researching but there is little C&A Labs won’t allow in the name of progress in understanding and cataloging everything in their universe. Our story takes place in one of the more private residencies deep in C&A, belonging to Caine; a minor God with mysterious origins, unknown limitations, and boundless enthusiasm for learning everything he can about his little science friends.

Caine - The Game Master, Archangel Glycon
The man, the myth, the legend, the AI is here! Locked in through my migraine yesterday because I had nothing else to do but sit in silence and darkness and try to distract myself (thank god for Triptan /hj)
Caine's essentially full-filling a similar role to OG Caine in the Archangel AU, he's the "ringmaster" (or game master for the AU) and is in charge of constructing a random puzzle every day for the humans to solve.
Despite being way less free than he appears to be in TADC (until now) and fairly void of emotion or emotional connection to any of the human avatars there is a certain... mystery surrounding him.
A little excerpt from the story I've written so far containing him below *eyes* >:]]
Dressed in red, the blood clinged and hugged her body like a cloak made from viscous liquid, dripping down in seeming stop-motion, droplets taking their sweet time. Almost as sweet as the smell, gone was the metallic and iron nature that usually went hand in hand with blood.
Caine watched her, a faint tilt to his ‘head’, the eye observing without blinking just once in all of these hours passing, trying to figure out this enigma of a human’s mind. Seemingly doing nothing at all, his own program and coding were running to the point of overheating the system. Fans whirring and coming to life, almost like the AI itself, its intentions unclear to the watching user.
Yet, there was no one there to see the show happening. The wooden chair in front of the desk was abandoned in search of human need, food, drink, whatever necessary to keep him afloat for his mission. 
Caine had realized this window of opportunity quite easily - and he was keen on using it, abusing even. Who else would there be to stop him but his own decision making? 
Again, his attention drifted back to the figure in front of him, the blood now disappearing like vapor over a heat source, indicating that it had worked - to a certain degree. Something was missing, something essential.
He had never coded a personality before. Humans were quite complex in their making, did they even have something akin to code to hold their souls, their beings? 
Caine knew that their biology and brains were easy to recreate, even though he had barely interacted with them outside of watching their almost fruitless attempts at solving the puzzles. This one however… he felt a strange, distant sense of connection to her. She had tried to break out from the ordeal, though it had been a freak accident. 
Leaving the constraints of the building, leading to her death, unavoidable. He had tried and failed numerous times by now. To Caine, these failures were merely setbacks. Nothing to shed a tear over like humans would say, for he had no emotion outside of curiosity to satisfy.

Eyes on you
Tumblr media
She's on all fours and smiling, but she's not happy to see you~
I finally got around drawing these two together and neither of them are having a good time. This in an illustration for a fic I wrote.
I had fun trying to figure out how to illustrate Gangle's threat display - it turned out to be a hybrid between that of a cat and that of an owl... kinda... eh.
She's little protective of her bestie, don't mind her.

THE BULL
Tumblr media
A HARLEQUIN AU CAINE SONGFIC
Harlequin AU and ART credit: @tadc-harlequin-au @iamespecter
WARNING: angst, PTSD, guilt, anxiety, regret, alcohol
~~~
Caine dropped the empty bottle. Numb all over, he slouched in his office chair. His mind finally stopped screaming. Dizzying nothingness awaited him. It was the only potential bit of peace he knew.
Each and everyday, hiding from the sunshine
Wandering in the shade
Not too old, not too young
His soul still aches. That never changed no matter how much he drank. A pain that could never be silenced.
Every night again
Dancing with the moonlight
Somewhere far away, I can hear your call
A giant black bull, covered in colorful eyes, burst through the door. The horned shadow charged Caine, plowing through his desk and throwing him through the wall behind him.
I'm out of my head, of my heart and my mind
Cuz you can run but you can't hide
I'm going to make you mine
Caine fell way too far before hitting ground. Getting up, the City of Circuits was on fire. Human families ran and screamed with their children. Puppets brandishing weapons pursued. Gunfire and explosions made his ears ring.
Out of my head, of my heart and my mind
Cuz I can feel how your flesh now Is crying out for more
The bull was back. Charging through the swarms of panicked people. It didn't touch them, having a clear path through the chaos to Caine. He tried to run. The ground beneath him crumbled.
Ain't No fairy tail what I see in your eyes
Awaiting your mistakes
Not too close, not too far
The abyss that swallowed him was lined with abstract eyes. He landed in something liquid. He couldn't stay afloat, no matter how hard he tried to swim. He went under, hitting the bottom. It was made of glass.
Sneaking in the pain
Every truth becomes lie
I won't trust myself
Once I hear your call
The roar of the bull was the only warning before impact. The glass prison shattered. The force of the bull tossed Caine like a ragdoll across the hard floor. It's hooves trampled him, excruciating pain stabbed his abdomen and head.
I'm out of my head, of my heart and my mind
Cuz you can run but you can't hide
I'm going to make you mine
He saw what he thought was Pomni. She was high up on a platform. He reached out for her. She jumped. She landed face first into the floor, it broke on impact and she disappeared below.
Out of my head, of my heart and my mind
Cuz I can feel your flesh now
Is crying out for more
He screamed. He cried until his voice was gone. Then he was surrounded by Pomni. Over one thousand stoic harlequins stared at him. He couldn't look at them. He heard the bull again.
I'm out of my head, of my heart and my mind
The bull charged through and the harlequins turned into hundreds of thousands of photos. The faces burned off of all of them. Caine was struck again. He didn't even try to get out of the way this time.
Out of my head, of my heart and my mind
The blizzard of photographs cleared to reveal scorched earth. The ground was littered with humans and puppets alike. Marionettes of all sizes lurked in the shadows.
I'm out of my head, of my heart and my mind
Cuz you can run but you can't hide
I'm going to make you mine
Caine stood alone in a dead world. Only the bull remained. It pawed the ground and snorted, its many eyes all focused on him. He closed his eyes as it charged.
Out of my head, of my heart and my mind
Cuz I can feel how your flesh now is crying out for more...
The roar of the bull was the last thing Caine heard before he jolted awake. He was soaked with sweat and alcohol. Bottles littered the floor around his desk. He held his head in his hands. His whole body trembled.
He deserves this.
And he knew why.

Finally... It's Here...
After being silent for a bit, I've got enough art to properly show off this AU that I've been DEEPLY working on...
I give you... The Amazing Digital Dance Rush AU.
Or- just Dance Rush for short
Tumblr media
Dance Rush is an AU where the TADC cast is thrusted into a rhythm game instead of a sandbox game- this game making humans step into the shoes of performing idols, all working both against and with one another in order to get to the VERY top. Pomni is the newest idol for the game, and she now is determined to drop the whole pyramid of overworked misery while trying to figure out how the inner mechanisms of this place work, even if the truth is more horrid then one might believe....
================================================
This AU uses a lineless style as a way to make it feel almost cell shaded in a sense, but also as a new way to keep this AU fresh. The setting is neon Vocaliod and sci-fi esc in nature, giving off a feeling of futuristic but simple all the same
Now let's-
MEET THE IDOLS!
Tumblr media
Pomni is our protagonist and the last to join the game. Inspired by DDR, her performances are based on dancing choreography by using her flexibility and quickness to adapt to her advantage
Tumblr media
Ragatha is one of the six idols that Pomni meets as she tries to get more used to the world. Inspired by Project Diva, Rags is all about audience participation- her lovely optimism and charm making chants, encores, and singing along a breeze
Tumblr media
Jax is the 'top' of the leaderboard, and another idol for Pomni to meet. Inspired by Just Dance, Jax's main this is... well... thirst trapping. He uses his body, dance moves, and other various body motions to make the crowd to wild
Tumblr media
Gangle is one of the more unhinged members of the idol life. Inspired by Crypt of the Necrodancer, Gangle uses music to tell her stories. Her fans adore every moment (with her comedy mask of course)
Tumblr media
Zooble is another idol, and the one that came before Pomni. Inspired by Beat Saber of all things, they're most known for their transitions and transformations, leaving their fans amazed by the grungier singing voice mixed with the eye catching transitions
Tumblr media
Kinger is the idol who has been here the longest yet is the second to last on the leaderboard. Inspired by oddly enough Rhythm Heaven, he has the best singing voice out of the cast. This results in his medium fanbase adoring him
Tumblr media
Caine. The real top of the leaderboard, and the most powerful idol in the game. Inspired by OSU- his perception of how performances should feel and hear is truly unmatched. How could one compare?
================================================
Because I love this AU so much to the point where I have FAR too much information on it, I made myself an askblog ALL about this AU in perticular, and one I'll be reblogging every answer for
The askblog is @theamazingdigitaldancerush and I hope you go ask your questions for it there instead of in my main blog as to not clog up TOO many things
I hope the wait was worth it cause lineless is difficult to do all together. Plus I haven't even touched the NPCs yet- however that's a post for another day
I can't wait for you to see what I do next ^^

🌊WELCOME TO THE DEPTHS OF THE LOST CITY OF ATLANTIS!...🌊
...Don't you drown just yet.
Tumblr media
WHAT IS THIS AU ALL ABOUT?
So, it's a TADC AU where C&A is a research team that aims to find the lost world of Atlantis, with some VERY sketchy stuff happening along the way. Pomni, who just got recruited into the team, goes off alongside Ragatha, Jax, Gangle, Zooble, and Kinger to adventure in the depths of the seas! Only to eventually end up STUCK in Atlantis after a total collision force with its underwater caverns, with no way to get back up without running out of oxygen. Caine (Atlantis' guardian) was originally SUPPOSED to have a good eye on the city he was meant to protect... only to have no other option but to send off the crew into small expeditions in hopes of getting them out one day
Each of the expeditions Caine puts them is an ocean-version of the already existing canon adventures, for example;
The Candy Kingdom from episode 2 is a coral reef, the haunted mansion from episode 3 is a sunken ship, and Spudsy's from episode 4 is a seafood restaurant instead of a fast-food one!
By the way, forgot to mention! The only canon ship on this AU is Kinger x Queenie, and yet it DOESN'T MEAN that whatever ships that I or even YOU do are not welcome. I'm a multishipper so- GO COMPLETELY WILD WITH IT, I WANNA SEE SHIP ART FROM LEFT AND RIGHT! As long as it's nothing between Pomni and Kinger... yuck.
Also no NSFW, please. Thank you.
This is a HYBRID ask blog! Both roleplay and regular asks are welcomed!
CHARACTERS!

Belle's NOTE
🩷⭐Credits to @paper-fowl for both the abstraction designs and the profile's background @spyderlondon for the profile's writing, and both for lending such big hands in helping me make this AU possible! SERIOUSLY! I had so much fun making all of this, even when I originally had such low hopes of completing as much as I did with your guy's help. Truthfully, thank you two and the Showtime server for listening to my ideas! You guys are amazing! 🩷⭐

When we meet, by the creek.
'By The Creek' TADC au
Tumblr media
..........................................................................................
The warm rays of sunlight lit the shaded forest foot trail through the leaves, causing mesmerizing patterns of golden light to shift across the forest floor as a warm summer breeze rustled the high reaching branches. The young boy squinted as a patch of light shifted across his golden eyes. He brought his hand up to guard against the the offending light that was blinding him, continuing his walk down the overgrown path.
The vibrant green leaves above him rustled with the soft wind, the sounds of the forest around him mixing in a soft melody upon the whisper of the breeze.
Listening to the crunch of fallen leaves and twigs under his feet as he walked, the boy took a deep breath of the fresh air, the feeling of the crisp cool air entering his lungs sends goosebumps down his arms. A satisfied and content smile broke his calm expression, his warm tan skin tingling with the sensation of the warm sunlight periodically brushing over his skin.
A blue bird flew past him, causing the boy to jump, startled. He chuckled as he watched the bird fly off into the trees, his feet moving at a steady pace. His ears perked at the sound of running water, a grinned to himself, walking slightly faster to reach the source of water.
The brush occasionally catching on his dark blue overalls, and shifting his dark purple shirt. As the sound of water increased, the brush and trees began to part, and the sunlight began to spread from small patches till it filled his whole vision.
Squinting at the bright light, the boy shaded his face from the sun. Once his vision adjusted a beautiful scene unfolded. He blinked, drinking it all in. Before him was an open area between two walls of forest, one behind him, one in front of him. In between the two sides was a bubbling, vibrantly clear blue creek. Some fresh water plant life growing on along the creekside. The paths along the the creek leading for as far as the eyes could see on both sides of the creek to the east and the west, were rock paths, mixed with sand a dirt leading up to the forests' edge.
The boy looked around the creek, smiling to himself. The breeze flowed by, brushing through his dark brown hair, which glowed with red highlights.
The boy took a deep breath, like he did in the forest, and stretched his arms above his head. His muscles aching from his hard work at the farm. He sighed in relief, dropping his arms at his sides.
When the breeze died down, a new sound caught his attention. He sucked in a sharp, shallow, breath and froze. A voice, singing softly, drifted through the clearing; it was barely audible, but he could still hear it over the sound of the creek.
The boy turned in the direction of the voice, a short distance down to his left, his eyebrows furrowed as he strained to hear the words of the song.
'Who- who could that be?' His thoughts echoed.
He frowned, no one was supposed to be at this creek, only he and his brothers knew about it. He hummed to himself, then slowly and quietly made his way down the path beside the creek toward the voice.
'It's... kind of sweet sounding.' The voice was sweet, and soft as it drifted toward him as he crept closer.
As he drew closer, he could tell it was coming from behind a bush that grew close to the edge of the waterfront, blocking his view. He slowed his pace, sucking in a sharp breath and holding it as he peeked around the bush.
His eyes widened in surprise. There was a young girl, humming a sweet tune to herself, an astronomy book in her lap, her hands folded together on top of the book. She wore a faded navy blue hoodie, and black jeans. Her darl brown short hair, framing her pale face, a galaxy of freckles covering her cheeks and nose. The song she hummed made him shiver, it was haunting, yet comforting.
He crept forward, attempting to hear the song better, a stick snapped underneath his foot. Causing both him and the girl to jump in shock and freeze. The girl's gaze snapped in his direction, her eyes a vibrant sky blue flecked with gold.
The stared at one another, an odd feeling stirring inside their chests, their gazes locked.
The breeze brushed by them, the only witness to their meeting, was the sky, and the bubbling blue creek.

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!
Tumblr media
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.
Tumblr media
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 :')

hey me! Wouldn’t it be cool if the abstracted characters of TADC were sent to another land or area of the map where they were half-abstracted??
(Abstracted characters btw)
Tumblr media
“New, New Home..”
[FnFcLOAD//: Pomni_POV ]
⚠️⚠️Warning⚠️⚠️
Swearing (it is bleeped)
Very long
D E P R E S S I O N
((PS: this AU is called the ‘Khlash AU’))
WORD COUNT- 4674
Pomni reached out her hands as she scrambled to open a drawer as she pulled out the drawer and fell on her knees. She scrambled to pick up a red marker as she started to write all along the walls ‘EXIT’. Her room was a mess, she had completely destroyed it. It looked like a rabid beast had been in it.
Over and over along the walls of her room the word ‘EXIT’ eventually infiltrated her mind, and made questions from the back of her brain come into full clearness of her eyes.
‘Did it even matter?’
“Why do I even exist?’
‘Why didn’t the circus pick someone else?’
‘Do the others even like me?’
‘What’s the point if I’m going to expire and be replaced?’
‘Should I be dead?’
“STOP!” Pomni yelled at the top of her lungs as she slammed her red and blue fists against her wall.
Tears rolled down her face as she turned around and slumped against her wall.
She looked around her room to see Exit Doors appear from thin air. All around her, they demanded attention from her.
She felt a jab of pain in her hand as more tears rolled down her face, and even more doors appeared along her walls. 
A rainbow light emitted from her hand as she looked down at it to see..
Her arm breaking and bending as a thick spiky goo with rainbow eyes appear over her arm.
The glitching goo took over her body as she felt the worst pain she had felt in her whole life, before and during the circus.
It had already taken her whole body, all that was left was her mouth and one eye.
“..I’m sorry….” She whispered as the spiky goo took her over, and plunged her into complete darkness.
A few seconds later, she kept feeling jabs of pain everywhere as she started to experience.. strange ‘visions’.
(To get the best visual explanation, please refer to the KAUFMO animated fan-prequel on YouTube. Time stamp- 8:40 to 9:40)
Pomni reached out with her hands as she fell near multiple shapes as she tried to grab something, anything.
She did eventually flip herself over to where she was falling face first into the abstracted void she was in.
She fell and fell, until she came up to a multicolored portal looking thing as covered her eyes and plunged right through it.
Pomni grunted as she lifted herself up off the ground and looked around. She was on a floating dark purple circle as the ‘sky’ had multicolored little stars that spun around in circles.
Mirrors floated around the area and little squares floating in space that lead to more and more floating purple circle area’s.
Pomni slowly got up as she walked up to a mirror.
Everything hurt.
She felt like she was on fire, eternally..
When she eventually got up to one of the gold lined mirrors, she looked into the peering glass to see her jester avatar on the other side.. but.. instead of her normal red, blue, and gold colors, in some areas of her body she still had the black ink with rainbow eyes on some parts of her jester hat, her left arm, and part of her right leg.
Her left eye was neon red with a yellow pupil while the right one was a neon teal with a purple pupil.
“Wha..” she mumbled as she touched her face like she did when she first saw her avatar back in the circus.
“Where am I..?” She asked herself as she stepped back from the mirror.
“I thought I…” she looked at her left black hand, “I did.. so why am I not.. dead..?” She didn't even know the answer to her own question.
As she calmed down, she took a closer look at the scenery around her. The sky was like a purple night sky with the multicolored ‘stars’ that pop like the sun off the purple sky. The circle bases that floated in the air like nothing were dark, dark purple that looked to have a carpet texture on them.
Colorful wooden blocks or spheres floated like jumping blocks in between each circle island. The ‘spawn’ island was just filled with mirrors that made a dome around the island.
“M-maybe I can find someone else right..?” Pomni asked herself as she walked up to the first jump from the island to the first block.
“I can’t be the only one here..” she told herself as she looked down below the black and island.
Her eyes were met with a void of pitch black that seemed to never end.
Her eyes became scribbles as she looked back up and backed away from the edge. “Don’t fall, Pomni.. you’ve already gone through enough..” she told herself as she thought about the others.
She prayed to god that Ragatha wasn’t the one to find her after she abstracted. She couldn’t imagine Ragatha going through that pain again like that.. ‘Kofmau’ did to her the first day Pomni appeared in the circus.
Pomni was about to jump, when a migraine hit her like a bullet. She gripped her head as she closed her eyes and started to cry out in pain.
Pomni felt her vision glitch out as she was taken away from that strange land, and was put into some dark area that had rainbow lights in it that kept changing.
Pomni looked around to see she was backstage where they got ready for their song performance for Caine.
Pomni also noticed that she heard cries and pleas from beneath her. When she looked down, she saw an awe to familiar face..
Ragatha.
“Please.. Pomni…” Ragatha said as she lifted an arm in front of her face to try and protect her.
Pomni immediately backed away and crouched as she looked away from the rag doll.
She’s always been so nice to me.. Pomni thought, and this is how I repay her..?
“P-Pomni..?” Ragatha said as she sat up. Pomni, in the abracted form she was in with eyes that pleaded for the rag doll to accept her apology.
“Are.. are you in there..?” Ragatha asked as she stood up and took a step closer to Pomni.
Pomni started to freak out and make out desperate calls as she tried to use her body language to make Ragatha back away.
“Hey hey! It’s ok Pomni!” Ragatha said as she held out her hands. 
Pomni used her head to push Ragatha farther away from her.
“P-Pomni! It’s me!” Ragatha said as she held onto Pomni’s head as she looked the beast into its many eyes.
“Pomni! Calm down!” Ragatha yelled. Ragatha barely ever yelled. She only did when Jax was acting like an a(boink!)hole.
Pomni immediately focused all her eyes onto the rag doll as the monster layed down.
“Hey.. Pomni.. if you're still in there” Ragatha started as the curtains started to slowly lift up.
Pomni turned away from the light as she felt herself slipping as the enraged monster came back out. 
“Pomni, listen! I don’t have much time so I’ll say this last thing..!” Ragatha said as she turned Pomni away from the light, 
“I forgive you..”
Ragatha and Pomni leaned in for a hug the best they could..
Then light then poured in and caused the abstracted Pomni to become feral again.
Pomni was able to throw Ragatha far away off the stage as the abstracted monster faced Caine and the burning light.
The light ripped Pomni away from reality.
And when she went back into her half-abstracted body in the weird dimension, Pomni fainted and fell back. 
Though the last thing she felt was two hands catching her from underneath her arms.
“Poor girl.. all alone. And abstracted for god's sake.” A deep, male voice said in the distance as a female voice responded to him.
“I know.. thank the lord I was able to catch her before she fell down and hurt herself more.” The female voice said as she kept on talking, “must have had that ‘return-memory’ that I got after I abstracted and somehow got into the pillow fort with Kinger. You know what I’m talking about, right Rett?”
“Yeah I do..” ‘Rett’ replied, “and that’s the only explanation we have so that’s what I’m going for at least.”
Pomni groaned and lifted her head as she sat up on what felt like an actually comfortable pillow and a blanket that fell off her.
“Huh..?” She groaned as her eyes adjusted and she noticed that she was in a large tent that had many sleeping bags and pillows scattered about inside of it.
She also noticed that there was a mirror in the tent as well. The mirror was like the ones that were on the first island that Pomni teleported into through that rainbow portal she fell through.
Pomni slowly got up and walked to the mirror quietly as she gazed at herself one more time.
Still was half-abstracted..
 “Great..” she accidentally said out loud. She quickly covered her mouth with her hands as she slowly turned to the opening of the tent, which was thankfully closed.
She gave a relieved sigh.. until a little orange and green worm smuggled its way in. Pomni noticed that the worm was also half abstracted as well. They had one teal eye with a yellow pupil, while its right eye was pink with a green pupil. And it just had a random placement of the abstract eyes and black goo over its body. And shockingly, it looked to be half Pomni’s size.
“She’s awake!” It called out with what sounded to be a stuffy voice, like they were sick. Pomni stared at the worm with hollow eyes as it kept yelling out that she was awake.
“Queenie! She’s awake!” It yelled out again.
“All right! I hear you Wriggle! You don’t have to shout! We are not deaf..” the female voice answered.
Pomni heard footsteps getting closer and closer to the opening of the tent. The jester started to back away as two white gloves hands opened the dull pink curtains that closed off the tent.
Pomni thought it was Kinger for a second, then she noticed that this chess piece looked to be the queen one. Plus, this person had a red coat and brown wood skin..? Was it skin..? 
Who knows.. Pomni answered in her mind.
“Hello sweetie..” the queen chess piece said. She walked in the tent as she let go of the curtain. Pomni saw that one of her eyes was yellow with a teal pupil while her other is pink with a yellow pupil. She had the black goo-like-ink  around her head and behind one of her eyes. And for some reason, she had no other places with the goo and the abstracted eyes. 
“I know..” she said calmly as she shuffled a little closer to Pomni.
“It’s very confusing, the predicament you're in right now.. trust me.” She promised Pomni. Pomni looked down at her hand that had the goo over it along with the eyes.
When the jester looked up, the chess piece had already walked up close to Pomni as they held their white hand out to Pomni.
“Wanna meet everyone else?” She asked the jester, “it’ll help explain what’s going on..”
The chess piece put a hand behind Pomni’s back as she slowly pushed her forward.
“My name is Queenie, dear..” ‘Queenie’ said as she looked down at the jester, “What’s yours?”
“P..” Pomni started, then cut herself off.
“It’s ok dear,” Queenie started, “I may be half abstracted, but I assure you I am not aggressive, no one here is.” The Queen explained as Pomni got the guts to quickly say her name.
“Pomni..”
Queenie looked down at the jester, “What was that dear..?” She asked.
“My.. my name’s Pomni..”
Queenie’s multicolored eyes lit up as she crossed her fingers over one another, held her own hands, and lifted them up to where her cheek would be. “That’s a beautiful name, Pomni!”
“Yeah..” Pomni said as Queenie used her non connected hands to open the curtains of the tent.
Outside was barely any brighter as it was in the tent. The dark purple sky was still spinning as the rainbow stars followed it along like the game, follow-the-leader.
“Everyone..!” Queenie started as Pomni faced 6.. no, 7 people. And they all were half abstracted like her.
“This is Pomni..! Our newest member of the Khlash!” Queenie explained as Pomni smiled awkwardly and waved to the others. She looked back to Pomni with sorrowful eyes, “Welcome to your new, new home..!”
Pomni wrapped her head around what she said, “New, new home..
“How long did you last?” A huge pink giant with one red and blue eye. He also had the extra eyes and black goo on his back, right arm, and along his left foot.
“Blonk!!” Queenie yelled as her eyes and body language looked like she was mad. “You know that’s so rude to say! Poor girl probably went through so much!” 
Queenie put her hands on Pomni’s shoulders and pulled her in closer. “For that f(boink!)n comment, you can go get Able..” she demanded while Blonk’s eyes widened.
“Queenie! He’s like 8 islands away from us!” Blonk tried to use excuses.
“I don’t care! You did this when Kaufmo showed up as well, same idiotic comment, same consequence. Better get a move on..”
Blonk grumbled as he muttered words under his breath, and walked towards more jumping blocks that lead to another island. Blonk had pink fuzzy skin while his thin legs were a teal color. Of course he had extra eyes and the black goo as well as everyone else in this strange place.
Pomni noticed that this island also had pillars that had silk fabric hanging down from it, then all the silk met in the mills as it just hung above the middle of the island as a chandelier hung from the middle where the silk met. As well as Utah Teapots floating in the air, like when her and Gummigoo glitched out of bounds back in the Candy Kingdom.
Then, something clicked in her mind as she replayed what Queenie said to Blonk.
“Kaufmo..?” Pomni said as she looked around for the red, white, blue, and gold clown that she saw abstracted on the first spray she arrived at the circus.
Everyone looked at Pomni as she stepped forward and as Queenie let go of her.
“Kaufmo..?” She asked again as she tried to look through the people. Eventually, they split apart, leaving the clown avatar right in front of Pomni. 
“H-how do you know me..?” Kaufmo asked as he stepped closer. He started to walk in circles around Pomni as he must have tried to figure out if he knew her.
“You don’t know me.. you had Abstracted the first day I arrived at the circus.” Pomni explained, “Me, Jax, and R..” she remembered her ‘Return-memory’. “Ragatha, had gone to check on you after I received my name.
“Then we found you abstracted, you attacked Ragatha, Jax and I ran away, I distracted you with monkeys, then Caine put you into the cellar.” Once Pomni finished, Kaufmo knelt down on his knees as Pomni got a good look at him.
He had the black goo around almost half of his body, but his right hand was the only exception to the goo. His stick eyes were still black, but he had around 5 extra eyes on the goo.
“I.. am so sorry for what I caused on your first day..” he apologized. Pomni wrapped her head around what he said, and slowly nodded.
Kaufmo put a hand on Pomni’s shoulder. “Just, tell me. How is Jax doing..?” He asked
Pomni gave him a discombobulated look,
 “W h a t ?”
Kaufmo laughed. “How’s Jax doing?” He asked again, “Me and him were best friends, I helped him when he first arrived at the circus. And even helped him find new ways to cope.. until he found a new his own way and started to act like a jerk..” Kaufmo looked down at the ground as he sniffled and looked back up, “so? Is he any better?”
Pomni looked at the other abstracted members, she wouldn’t be shocked if they didn’t even know who Jax was.
“Well.. he is still a jerk. He messed with me a lot when I first arrived. And he pushed Gangle around, shoves centipedes into Ragtha’s room, call’s Kinger names, and yanks Zooble pieces out of her body to use as a back scratcher.
Kaufmo’s face changed from happy, to looking in disbelief.
He sighed, “I knew he’d get worse.” He muttered as he pulled away from Pomni and sat on his knees, “what did he say at my funeral…? If I even got one..”
“Oh! You did! But.. he didn’t show up.” Kaufmo slumped after Pomni said that, “But! The others said beautiful things about you at your funeral. I have wanted to meet you for a long time!” She said as she laid her hands on his, “now I have..” she smiled as he returned it with a heartwarming smile.
“That’s nice Pomni..” he said as he stood up straight.
‘Thump!’
Pomni and the other members look to their right to see Blonk be teleported out of thin air as he landed on the ground with a loud boom.
Then right beside him appeared a knock-off Caine that wore a blue tuxedo instead of the red one, and had a white, gloved hand for a head with two eyes on the palm and a floating black and blue hat above the thumb. One eye color was pink while the other was gold.
“Alright,” the knock-off Caine said, “who abstracted?” He said as he dusted himself off and summoned his white and blue caine.
Queenie stepped up, “Able, this is Pomni. She just abstracted earlier today, meaning..”
“Yeah, yeah, I got it toots!” He said snappy as he floated right in front of Pomni as he grabbed her face by her cheeks and chin.
His eyes rolled to the back of his head as blue code started to appear around Pomni and Abel.
Abel eventually let go of Pomni as he floated right beside Queenie.
“25 years old, worked for the company, and doesn't have a great mental state.” Abel said.
“Wha..?” Pomni said as she stepped forward a bit, “How do you know that?!” She said a little loudly.
“Easy f(splat!)er” he said as a bar appeared beneath his eyes, but this time, instead of Caine’s head on it, it was Abel's. “I just looked through your memories.. aannndd I’m already bored!” He yelled, “you get a request, or you could call it a wish I guess, when a person first arrives in Khlash. Here are the rules, I cannot make you not half abstracted, I cannot bring you back to the circus, and I cannot bring a friend here from the circus.”
“Take as long as you need..” Queenie said calmly.
“Don’t do that.” Abel said snarky as Queenie gave him the death stare, “I have a date with my bed and sleep, so hurry up.”
“Oh.. ok..?” Pomni said as she thought long and hard.
Then something popped in her mind.
“So, Abel, right?” She asked as he nodded, “ok, you said you can’t bring a ‘friend’ from the circus in this ‘Khlash’..”
“Yes..?” He said in annoyance.
“But what about an.. NPC..?” She asked as she shrugged and a wobbly smile appeared on her face.
Abel’s eyes widened as he sat up straight in the air and tapped his nonexistent chin with his white, gloved finger. “I actually have no clue. Most people just ask to see their circus friends one last time, I’ve actually never had any other request..” he thought on the subject as Pomni and the other’s awaited his answer. 
“I can try, I guess.” He said as he shrugged and lifted his hands as blue code made a dome around Pomni and Abel. The dome seemed to push everyone else out so it was only the jester and the ringmaster of this land.
He turned to a blue keyboard with a search engine above it. He tilted his head to look at Pomni.
“Imma need a name of this NPC, and what adventure you met them on.” He said as he kept looking at Pomni.
“Oh.. um.. His name is Gummigoo, and he was on the Candy Carrier Chaos adventure.” Pomni gave Abel the information that he needed as he typed it up like she was checking a bill at the bank.
“Is he a gummy crocodile that is yellow and green with white eyes and a cowboy hat?” Abel asked Pomni as he turned the search engine to Pomni’s eyes.
“Yes! That’s him!” Pomni said eagerly.
“Alright,” Abel said as he looked around the area on the screen. “Looks like I can bring him back, do you want him with memories or not?”
“With!” Pomni yelled, when Abel gave her a funny look, she apologized, “Sorry.. just, excited…”
Abel sighed and muttered, “I’ll never get these stupid humans..” under his breath.
Pomni rolled her eyes as Abel made all the code disappear.
“Al right! Everyone back away!” Abel commanded as he lifted his hands and blue pixels appeared and orbited his hands.
“You sure this is what you want?” Abel turned his hand head to Pomni to get one final consent.
“Yes,” she said plainly.
“All right, one gummy alligator coming right up.” Abel waved his hands around as the blue code went far away from him and started to form Gummigoo from the legs up. Once the code finished, Gummigoo was in his A-pose like when him and Pomni glitched through the map and he found out he wasn’t real.
Be ready Pomni.. She thought, you're about to see the first person who understood you in this.. circus..
Abel snapped his fingers and Gummigoo fell down on the ground in a lying position.
Gummigoo grumbled as he grabbed his head.
“Gummigoo..?” Pomni said quietly.
He grumbled again, “Lad’s I told ya’ not to wake me up-“ he stopped when he opened his white eyes, and saw Pomni’s legs.
He immediately shot up off the ground as he caught his hat from falling off. He stared at Pomni with hollow, wide eyes.
“P-Pom Pom..?” He finally said.
“Unfortunately..!” she said as she opened her arms as she awaited the hug.
“POMNI!” Gummigoo yelled at the top of his nonexistent lungs and grabbed Pomni from underneath her arms as he slung her around in the air. He did eventually pull her into a tight bear hug.
“Missed you too..!” Pomni said as she struggled to breath. 
“Oh, sorry Pom Pom.. I kindaa forgot how strong I was..” Gummigoo said as they just smiled at each other.
But then, suddenly, Gummigoo’s eyes went hollow as he looked at Pomni’s state.
“What happened to you Pom Pom..?” He said as he kept turning her around as he saw her extra abstracted eyes and the black ink-like-goo around parts of her body.
Then Gummigoo looked around at where they were, “Crikey.. where even are we Pomni..?”
“Heh..” she laughed as she tried to keep it in, “it’s a lot to explain.. but I promise, nothing can take us apart now..”
[ ERROR//: ERROR ]
[ CLASSIFIEDINFO//: DO_NOT_CONTINUE ]
[EXTRALOAD//: Ragatha_POV ]
Ragatha looked where the cellar hole was. She kept staring at the floor as she hugged her knees up to her chest. It was night time.. the night after Pomni abstracted. They had already had her funeral, but Ragatha left early and went to where the cellar was in the circus.
Ragatha had found abtracted Pomni in her room. She had gone to check on the jester due to the screaming that she heard.. but, she was too late..
Pomni turned into a raging beast already..
Ragatha had that little moment with Pomni when she got her mind back for a minute.
She kept replaying those moments in her head.
Ragatha ran from Pomni in the hallway, then chased her until they both got behind the stage where Pomni had pinned Ragatha to the ground. Then, Pomni got her mind back and they had their little moment of clarity before the curtains opened and Pomni threw Ragatha off the stage.
While Caine faced Pomni, Zooble, Gangle, and Kinger helped Ragtha up with Jax watching from behind them. 
Pomni, now with no mind, rushed towards Caine, but the ringmaster easily picked the abstraction up, opened the cellar, and dropped Pomni in.
“NO!” Ragtha yelled as she ran to the cellar hole and reached her hand down in the hole for Pomni to grab ahold of.
“Ragtha!” Zooble yelled as Ragatha felt ribbons and hands pull her back so Caine could close the hole.
Now, ever since lunchtime, Ragtha has been staring at where the cellar opening was.
She wished it could have been her.. 
Why Pomni of anyone?!
SHE WAS BRAND NEW!
SHE HAD A WHOLE F(boink!)N LIFE AHEAD OF HER!
WHY COULD IT HAVE BEEN ME-
“Dolly..?” A voice said from behind Ragatha. When the rag doll looked back, she saw a familiar purple rabbit with yellow hands and eyes, and a pink overalls.
“Go away..” Ragatha mumbled as she turned back to where the cellar opening was and buried her face in her arms. “I don’t want to hear your sh(splat!)t jokes..”
Jax was taken back by Ragtha’s swearing. The sweet and optimistic girl barely ever swore.
“No.. your obviously depressed by Pomni..” Jax said as he slowly got down beside Ragatha and criss-crossed closely, but not too close, to her.
“I know how it feels.. Rags..” he said quietly. Ragatha turned her one eye to look at him.
“After Kaufmo abstracted.. that night of the funeral, I couldn’t stop crying in my room.. he had helped me when I first appeared in the circus.. and I just turned my back on him and acted like a jerk to him..
“Now he’s gone.. and I’ll never get to say the most important words I wished I had said to him..” Jax sniffled and wiped away one tear, “I’m sorry…” his voice started to break.
Jax sucked it in a bit and turned to Ragatha, who was now looking at the ground again.
 “Listen.. I didn’t expect it either. She seemed to be adjusting, but I guess it got too much for her” Jax said as Ragatha hugged herself tighter.
“I know this is out of character for me not to be a jerk.. and I have no clue where Pom is now.. but I’m sure she’s still thinking about you. She pushed you away to protect you from Caine… and herself..”
Jax scooted closer to Ragatha, “I’m sure she’s thinking about you right now.. and how she wishes she can be with you again..”
Ragatha had been quiet for a while, so Jax peaked at her face to see her crying.
Jax sighed “Come’ere” he said as he stretched his arms out wide.
“What..?” Ragatha said as her voice kept breaking.
“Listen, I’m giving you comfort right now. I will be changing my mind in 3.. 2- AAÆÆH OK!” Jax yelled as Ragtha pretty much fell right on Jax’s chest.
He slowly wrapped his long arms around the rag doll as he began to rub her head.
He hummed a song someone used to sing to him in the real world before the circus, if only he knew their name..
“What’cha singin..?” Ragatha asked sleepily.
Jax chuckled. “It’s called Rag Dolly. Thought it fitted perfectly with your avatar..”
Ragatha laughed as she fought to keep her eyes open, “yeah.. it.. doess…” and Ragatha was out.
Jax smiled and laughed a bit as he gently picked the rag doll up and carried her to her room.
Once he laid her on her red and blue quilted bed, he turned to walk away when a soft hand grabbed his wrist lightly.
He looked down to see Ragatha, still asleep, smiling as she slowly breathed in and out.
“…Stayy…..” Ragatha slurred.
“Heh, all right Doll Face, but just this once..” Jax whispered as he sat down beside Ragatha’s bed, and fell asleep while holding the rag doll's hand in his own..

Hello! Could I request headcannons for the TADC crew (plus Gummigoo) with a GN! Reader who was siblings with Kaufmo and are basically distraught after his abstraction? Could be platonic or romantic it’s your choice! :)
Various TADC characters x reader who is kaufmos sibling
Sorry anon but I dont currently take cast shots for requests! Nothing against you!/gen/nm
Characters: gummigoo, pomni, ragatha, gangle
Notes: reader is GN, post funeral, au where gummigoo gets to stay, platonic leaning post
CWs: grief
Tumblr media
Gummigoo
Hes still new to being conscious, and the idea of abstraction is totally new to him... and hes terrified. Can he abstract even if hes not a real person?
He internalizes his own feelings when hes around you because he knows you need him in that moment
awkwardly pats your back and lets you air out your feelings to him as he tries to figure out what to say
he feels so fake saying that he was a good person, because he didnt get to know him so he sticks with just letting you vent and talk about him
he learns about your brother through your memories
Ragatha
you both talk about him and exchange stories about him, theres tears and laughs... there are a lot of feelings cycling around.. i feel between all the characters, shes the most likely to make you feel better
cries with you when you bring it up, she offers to take you to her room so you can have some privacy... or you can both go to your room so you have the familiarity of your space!
offers to make you something to remember him by; whether it be plush or pillow or blanket.. but she totally respects you if you need time before accepting something such as that- its not like a mural or a photo if that makes sense... it feels different than that
you both leave flowers at his door, you each take the time to reminisce about him together between the chaos of the circus
Pomni
similar to gummigoo, she feels fake when she nods and agrees when you say kaufmo was this or that because she didnt get to know him
she sits and lets you get in your feelings, lets you grieve it out with her
gently coaxes you to talk more about him, if it makes you feel better
she doesnt know how to go about this because its such a tender subject and she doesnt want to say or do anything that can make it worse
awkward back pats as you cry your eyes out
Gangle
Sometimes the two of you sit together and draw.. usually its anything, to keep your mind off of.. recent events..
I think she would offer to draw a portrait if kaufmo for you, a mural of sorts so you have something of him
she listens to you talk about him and does her best to try to console you, even if she doesnt always know what to say
i can see her being pretty empathetic, at least based on what little we have of her so far... she feels for you and might even cry with you

Harlequin Showtime
Harlequin AU by @tadc-harlequin-au @iamespecter (YOU BETTER GET HEALTHY SOON)!
Protectiveness: Can become overprotective
--------
"I-Is that all y-you got...?" Pomni forced herself up and used her sword as a crutch as she narrowed her eyes at the boss puppet she had been tossed into a wall, making a giant crater in the wall. She huffed as she watched a bit of her outer shell of her chest fall from under her shirt but she refused to let that stop her. Not until she died. And even then, she would come straight back once The Puppetmaster revived her. This boss would be defeated by her- no matter how long it took!
'Pomni!' Caine's voice yelled out from Bubble's blimp with a concerned and commanding tone, 'Get out of there! I can hear how damaged you are from your voice!'
She could hear the frown on his stupid jaw but refused to be ordered back yet, "N-NO! I CAN BEAT THIS BASTARD!" She exclaimed before rushing off to continue fighting despite how she was slowing down from how much damage she already took during the battle but it didn't stop her attack.
She could tell The Puppetmaster was still trying to order her around but by the time the blimp got over to her side, the boss had slammed an arm against the temple of her head which ended up damaging her auditory wire nerves (I don't know, just roll with it) causing it where sound began to glitch in and out for her. But she didn't exactly notice as she flew to the side from the heavy hit yet she still forced her arm to shift into a gun and shot at the boss puppet a few times before she crashed into ground.
'P--- re--- at ----' The combat harlequin couldn't make out really anything Bubble was trying to relay to her, most of it sounded gargled to her which led her to weakly shove the blimp away from her.
She groaned as she struggled to get up again, using her sword as a crutch again. She watched as the boss puppet stumbled and almost fell after she saw that her bullets were able to incapacitate the boss' arms and one of its legs. It roared in anger, which she could only tell by watching its mouth enlarge a bit, before it used its able foot to stomp the ground hard enough to create a quake.
"Oh shit-" Pomni cursed as she was unable to get up in time and had to brace herself for most likely her next death. She shut her eyes and put her arms in front of her, preparing herself for when the quake got to her.
Only to suddenly feel nothing but two arms underneath her and some wind going past her face. She paused but didn't need to open her eyes to know who got her away from the battle, she cracked an eye open to see a rather pissed off Caine plunging an electrified cane right into the boss' head and finishing the fight for her. She wanted to yell at him for stealing her target but she was too busy, you know, finally dying herself from all the extensive injuries she sustained.
----
It was almost midnight of the next day when Pomni's die finally glowed and the harlequin puppet groaned as she sat up on the table in Caine's office. She noticed that he was already glaring at her, almost seething in rage by how reckless she must've been against the boss. She grunted as she took a moment to register what all happened before she opened her mouth to speak-
"I TOLD YOU TO GET OUT OF THERE! TO RETREAT!!" The Puppetmaster immediately put a stop to her even attempting to talk her way out of a scolding, yelling to the point of almost screaming at her, "BUT YOU DON'T LISTEN!" He roared.
Pomni's eyes widened as she stared at shock as he continued to yell and scold her but despite the pure anger in his tone, there was something more. It almost sounded like sadness and distraught over how he felt when she was almost damaged to no repair, "Caine- I..." She paused as she noticed how her sword was missing from her side and even from the office, ".....where's my sword?" Her own voice picked up a tone of anger as she asked that.
He growled lowly, "Locked away somewhere you can't find and even if you did, it would be impossible for you to break into." He answered, his voice harsh but hoarse, almost as if he had been doing more than yelling.
She narrowed her eyes as she was suddenly on her feet and grabbed his collar, "WHY?!" She snapped at him, her grip tight, "I need it to continue fighting!" She spat at him in pure anger. She felt almost naked without her sword on her.
"You won't be getting your sword. Not for a long while." His voice turned deathly calm as he forced her off of him, "You'll be staying where I can watch and train you. You're too reckless out there. One day your die will completely shatter." His voice broke but he was quick to mask it, she wasn't allowed to die on him. If she continued to fight like a hot headed maniac, then her die would eventually shatter and he'd lose her forever.
He couldn't risk it. Not anymore. If he had to, he'd make her a prisoner in this mansion.

Into the Rubi-Verse
I really like all the TADC AUs I've been seeing so I wanted to imagine what my OC Rubi would look like in them all. This has been a project in the works for at least a month now ^v^"
For reference, this is what Rubi originally looks like
And for good measure, here's Canon?Rubi's relations with the other canon cast (chart made by @p1nkiep4rasites)
Tumblr media
Now lets hop into the multiverse!~
Tumblr media
Boxer!Rubi is a tank with a brain and two left feet, so no matter how hard her hits are and how solid their plan is, it usually all comes crumbling down because of a trip
Differentiating features from "canon": outfit, bigger paws that mimic boxer gloves, heart tattoo on hip, can fight
The Amazing Digital Fight Club is by @burrotello
Tumblr media
Skater!Rubi is the other graffiti artist in town, alongside Zooble, and usually only participates in the skate derby when it runs out of paint or the battery to their DS is dead. She rides a windsurfer (also known as street sailing; its basically a skateboard with a sail)
Differentiating features from "canon": outfit, tooth gap, star stickers, can skateboard
The Amazing Digital Skate Park is by @g00bergoo
Tumblr media
Lab!Rubi is a guardian fallen angel, banished from heaven when it became too attached to the human it was meant to protect. The final straw was when it almost showed itself as a last-ditch effort to save it's human from the cultist trap she was being lead to.
It was held back by other angels before it could though, and it had to watch as she was killed. That was the first time an angel cried in almost 100 years.
Sent to earth, it wandered for a long while before finding the Incredulously Experimental Monster Lab and decided to stay there while it continues to look for her spirit. She feels so close, it'll be any day now when it finds her...
Differentiating features from "canon": Cube head is now multi-colored tesseracts, three eyes, outfit, wings, rings, and other things
The monster lab AU is by @etanow
Tumblr media
Carnival!Rubi is a gentler AI originally coded for a younger audience who couldn't yet play the main Carnival, who was later added to the main game by popular demand.
Her "neckpiece" is a bow-tie on her collar, since she has no neck to tie anything around. Attempting to pull it off gives a choking sensation, as if being strangled, and can eventually lead to passing out.
By the time Caine appears in the Carnival, she's been keeping herself locked in her room, barring entry to everyone, including Gangle whom she used to be good friends with (and maybe more..?). There should've been no way for Caine to get in, but he does, and is met with a sorry sight [maybe he uses some coding magic idk-]
Differentiating features from "canon": outfit, is an A.I.
The Amazing Digital Carnival is by @sm-baby

Slasher!Rubi used to be a famous horror game streamer/GameTuber, before her sudden disappearance.... and now, she's stuck in a virtual slasher hell with no escape in sight.
At least in between the daily hunts she can find solace in people who are like her, for once... ironically less lonely than her life before...
Differentiating features from "canon": outfit, was a famous gamer
