So in the Bible, the first ever murder of a human was committed against a family member out of hatred and envy, and afterward the killer denied responsibility for it and asked, "Am I [the victim]'s keeper?" And in Hazbin Hotel, the first ever murder of an angel was committed to protect family members out of love, and afterward the killer denied responsibility for it to keep the family they were defending safe, calling themselves their "keeper". Hmm.

Just finished the new TADC episode and had an interesting thought; when the show first came out we were all thinking one of the main characters might abstract, but what if it isn't one of the humans? It seems like they're remembering bits and pieces from their real lives, like Gangle being a shift manager with dreams of becoming an artist and Ragatha missing her horses and full-on quoting Raggedy Ann & Andy in the new episode, while Caine has seemingly been getting more unstable as he realizes his adventures aren't fun for the others. If a main PC abstracts Caine can judt throw them in the basement, but if he abstracts, how will the others be able to stop him from wreaking havoc, and how would his corruption effect the world he created? I think that'd be pretty neat, and im super excited to see what happens next!

The Reunion

All is forgiven by Abel; he just really missed his big brother. It's hard to visit when Cain is part of the shadow realm world, neither belonging to Heaven or Hell. He belongs nowhere, but only in the hearts of his family.

[marshmallowpuffcat]

Can you believe Pomni's out here invading Caine's privacy like this 😒 smh

[beandraws]

Cain🩵

He is such a cool character design and story wise. I love him sm😫

[kazu-naito]

i just noticed something...

first time reading this i immediately jumped to conclusions because of the name but.. look at the background, this is yan's memory not cain's

cain's only start with the chain, cross and piano

[catrasfreckles]

my deep dark secret is that I would actually love it if Corona killed Ianthe

[borgialucrezia]

thinking about juan being specifically written for cesare like...what do you mean rodrigo decisively having juan just for cesare? introduced in the show solely as his brother, puzzled to seek cesare's love and validation, serving the purpose of shaping cesare's destiny and being a target for his frustrations. the abel to his cain, someone cesare would never replace regardless of the resentment he felt for him. they're bound together forever by their shared blood and kinship and the aftermath of the fratricide haunts cesare's life to such an extent that no matter how hard he tries he simply can't get rid of it...their relationship is profoundly sad in so many ways it's truly insane

[bruhstation]

you who I called brother, how could you have come to hate me so?

[bobafettuccini]

Seen a lot of folks making the connection between The Amazing Digital Circus and I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream. I love that. I 100% agree. But that wasn't the first piece of lit I associated with it.

I immediately thought of No Exit by Jean-Paul Sartre.

You may be familiar with this as the play that inspired the tv show The Good Place. Three dead people are put into a room together and discover:

1) They are fundamentally incompatible and being together is torture

and

2) They cannot leave

And thus realize that being together is hell and this is their enternal punishment.

I don't know if it's just me, but the characters in TADC don't actually seem to like each other. They may be used to each other by this point, even tolerant of each other, but they certainly don't get along. None of them are "friends" in the way we would traditionally describe it.

Zooble hates everyone and wants nothing to do with any of this. Jax is a smartass who intentionally creates chaos and is mean to others because he thinks it's funny. Kinger is very unstable and one step away from losing it. Gangle is so consumed with their own emotions that they won't acknowledge anyone else's. Ragatha is the nicest of them, but even she dismisses Pomni's fears and refuses to listen. Pomni is a coward who's desperate to get out and abandons the others at the first opportunity she gets. And Caine and Bubble are.. Caine and Bubble.

These personalities don't mesh well. We don't see any big moments of solidarity or friendship between them. I don't think they hate each other, but there's no love or fondness between them either.

Are they placed in there intentionally to torment each other to madness and abstraction? Idk. I just wanted to throw the parallel out there.
