#admin kinger au

[stickylizardcave]

i dont have a witty caption for this. early circus days i guess?? i just wanted to draw a tiny Caine tbh

[kalpeavaris]

holding them in my teeth grrr I didn't anticipate to fall in love with this initial idea of a TADC AU this much but... jesus christ man, these goobers haven't left my brain for days now-

couldnt get the idea of Gangle being represented by a porcellaine doll like figure with the gold cracks stuff >:]] and Jax is just a furry-

im this close to writing a fanfiction for the AU and I haven't even done proper designs for ANY of them besides Caine... why are all these ideas flooding my brain when i'm working on commissions??

also no worries im also working on Murder Drones content I won't just switch to TADC teehee so whoever's here for just MD and doesn't wanna see the digital circus content, just mute the #archangel AU tag and you're good i think!! (I'm not sure if it's worth it to make a new side blog for the AU/TADC content so... yeah- i'm a multifandom blog after all)

So yeah anyways the AU's called "Archangel" and it's basics are essentially the same prompts as the OG premise: A couple of humans are trapped as virtual avatars in a world they have to adapt in.

Instead of the Circus, all of them "live" in a multi-story highrise that's meant to literally present the "building" of a game that isn't finished/out yet. Each floor from the top down to the ground floor has an "adventure" aka puzzle the gang has to solve in order to progress down to the main door and hopefully leave at the end.

Also, the players have apartments (they can visit each other in) where they rest and stay in when not working on the puzzles. They cannot leave through any exit/window leading to 'outside' - this will result in an instant death and they may never return.

Each human plays as a virtual avatar who's appearance is randomized and can either be very close to her IRL appearance or very far off (e.g Jax and Gangle, while Pomni and Ragatha retain more human appearances).

So, you're thinking "What about Kinger"? Well, homeboy's the admin for the entire thing and he's not in there, he's outside! I won't spill every detail on why right now, but it'll come to light at the appropriate time :]]

I do have many ideas for him and Caine too, who's design will be posted next whenever it's presentable teehee. First, commissions. For now that's all I have! CYA! o7

[the-s1lly-corner]

Ragatha, Gangle, Kinger x reader but you're exploring their bodies (/non sexual)

deadass could not find a less sus way of wording the title but i promise this is not a sexual post i just had a brain blast notes: non sexual post, real world au, takes place after escaping the circus and you reunite with them, reader is gn, you both take in each others real bodies, heavy on the admins personal hcs for how they look cws: mentions of (not self harm) scars

RAGATHA

has stretch marks and some small scars on her hands- she used to sew and bake stuff so thats where most of the marks are from. accidentally pricking her fingers with the needle or by burning herself

has various birthmarks and moles on her, some on her face! has loads of freckles too covering her body, they become more obvious when shes been outside

if this is something you want to do to assure yourself that youre both in the real world, as well as simply wanting to get to know the true body of your lover, then shes willing to do it... over time...

trails her own hands over your arms and legs to make a note of any "flaws" in your skin, generally exploring you with the same innocent motive

GANGLE

theres some scars littering her body- you get the feeling that she was prone to falling over in her life before getting stuck in the circus... a lot of them are on her knees, some on her forearms and elbows like she tried to brace herself

she has a few beauty marks scattered here and there but otherwise, asides from the mentioned scars, her body is plain... frail like her digital body once was

shies away from your gaze and your hands, and cannot bring herself to look at your own body despite the scenario being purely innocent, simply taking each other in in your fullest after finally exiting that digital hell

if this is something you really want to do, its best to do it in baby steps and to her comfort

KINGER

hairy old man, browish blonde hair thats all over him- arms, legs, chest, back- even has a bit of it on his face in the form of a short beard thats starting to grow in.. not the best kept due to his state that the circus left him in after escaping

lots of various scars too, a lot on his knuckles and fingers... youre half tempted to ask if hes gotten them on accident or during scuffles... he doesnt seem like the type to fight someone... probably nicks from regular activites

freckles! covered in them with a lot on the backs of his shoulders! he also has stretch marks! dad bod

he holds onto you as you trail your hands along him, his grip is firm but gentle... its almost like he expects everything to fall apart the second he lets go... but even through the fear he still looks at you with so much love as he looks over your own body and marks down anything his eyes glide over

TADC Prompt

AU: Escaped, as well as Human Caine + Bubble

Relationships: Bunnydoll, Showtime, Gangle x Zooble, and Kinger x Queenie

<•>

In this alternate universe Caine was actually the first human trapped in the digital circus game by his own brother, Able, because he wanted their company all to himself. But Caine figured out that if you twist the ear piece of the headset then you could leave the game. But to make sure Caine would not try to escape they trapped his six year old daughter Bethany (Bubble) in the game as well. They manipulated Caine and Bethany’s minds to make them believe they were AI, and so when new victims were trapped and were confused why Caine was an AI but could not do anything they gave him admin commands. They also made sure Bethany (Bubble) had no arms so IF Caine did end up remembering he would not leave because he would be leaving his daughter behind.

Caine and Bubble do end up remembering that they are real people and not AI thanks to all the members of the circus glitching into what we see Pomni enter in episode two with Gummigoo. They then leave thanks to Caine and enter the human world…

That’s when we learn that when one day passes in the digital world it is only an hour in the real world, so they haven’t missed much… if you don’t count Caine, Bethany and Kinger, as well as the rest which have been abstracted (and we also learn that when a human is abstracted they actually leave the digital world). That’s when we get everyone’s real names:

• Caine the Ringleader is actually Caine Eden, co-founder and head game designer for C&A, as well as a single father to his now (whatever age) year old daughter Bethany.

• Bubble the Assistant(?) is actually Bethany Eden, only daughter to Caine Eden.

• Kinger the Chess Piece is actually Kenneth King, AI specialist for C&A (thanks to the 7 years of computing science in episode 3), husband to Quinn King and father to Paige King.

• Queenie the Other Chess Piece is actually Quinn King, curator of insects (because she likes bugs), wife to Kenneth King and mother to Paige King.

• Pomni the Jester is actually Paige King, algorithm developer for C&A, daughter to Kenneth and Quinn King.

• Ragatha the Rag Doll is actually Ruth Ann, solutions architect for C&A, younger sister to Arthur Ann and Randy Ann.

• Jax the Rabbit is actually Jackson Burrow, app developer for C&A, older brother to Jane Burrow.

• Gangle the Mask is actually Gabriella Satin, team behind the design in making for games characters at C&A, twin sister to Gabriel Satin and girlfriend to Zara Parts

• Zooble the Rubix Cube is actually Zara Parts, games developer for C&A, partner to Gabriella Satin.

• Kaufmo the Clown is actually Kyle Smiles, machine learning engineer for C&A.

<•>

Appearances can be all up to you and you do not need to keep the names or jobs I have listed on top.

Of course like my other prompts this is free to use and credit is not need. I was just bored and thought this was a good idea. And I’ll gladly take in suggestions that you think will be a good story and expand upon it.

TADC AU: The Amazing Plural Headspace

(Art by WiredGaia)

Welcome to my Digital Circus AU where the main characters are alters within a DID system; multiple people within the same body due to Dissociative Identity Disorder! Here you'll find each member's roles and descriptors and what they mean for each character. I'll keep updating this post until I add all the info!

SYSTEM/BODY/SUBCONSIOUS - T.A.D.C. System, Abugenic, Holder System

CAINE - Host, Admin, Taskdoer

POMNI - Anxiety Holder

RAGATHA - Caretaker, Dear, Fictive

JAX - Malicitor, Berserker, Delight

KINGER - Schizophrenia Holder, ADHD Holder

GANGLE - Depression Holder, [redacted] Protector, ADHD Holder

ZOOBLE - Dysphoria Holder, Physical Protector, Integration

BUBBLE - Fragment, Admin, Insider

Abstracted Members are either aphantasians, dormant, or integrated into one of the current members.

[replacementcodeau]

Sorry to bother if you've already explained this but-

What happened to Pomni's phycological state?

- Does she remember being a normal human who entered the circuit?

- Did Pomni gain Caines' code that was meant for him specifically so that's why she isn't acting like herself in the animatics?

- Is there a higher forse not letting her reverse things?

I also have a few more questions...

- by the rules of this AU, can any of the cast members kill Pomni and then take over the circuit?

- Can she go to the adventures with the others or is she now restricted to stay at the circus?

- Do the others remember her originally being a normal human or are their brains not effected?

Don't worry, you can ask whatever you want uwu

-Pomni's psychological state in the AU isn't that good, she's been there for a long time and being the one who spends the most time with Caine has caused some consequences, after she becomes the admin of the circus, her psychological state does nothing but descend

-El estado psicológico de Pomni en el AU no es tan bueno, lleva mucho tiempo ahí y ser la que pasa más tiempo con Caine le ha traído algunas secuelas, después de que se convierte en la administradora del circo, su estado psicológico no hace más que descender

-Yep, she remembers everything that happened and knows that she's a human and that she's trapped uwu

-Sí, ella recuerda todo lo que pasó y sabe que es una humana y que está atrapada uwu

-Yep uwu

-mostly it's because of the damage that was caused by eliminating caine, and the fact that the ringmaster's position must not be empty

-mayormente es por el daño que se le ocasionó al eliminar a caine, y el hecho de que el puesto de maestro de ceremonias no debe estar vacío

-basically yes, whoever kills the admin must take his place, something like "whoever kills death will become death" or something like that xd

Although this could only happen after Pomni took control.

-básicamente sí, quien mate al admin debe tomar su lugar, algo así como "quien mate a la muerte se convertirá en muerte" o algo así xd aunque esto solamente podría llegar a pasar luego de que pomni tomo el control

-yes she could go on the adventure with them, but mostly she would be a support, administrator or observer, if in an adventure they need help, they should only call her and she will appear

-sí podría ir a la aventura con ellos, pero mayormente sería un apoyo, administrador u observador, si en una aventura necesitan ayuda, solo deben llamarla y ella aparecerá

-only 3 of them can remember what really happened and who Pomni really is: Gangle, Ragatha and Jax

Kinger and Zooble can't remember it because their memories were affected during the incident

-solo 3 de ellos pueden recordar lo que realmente sucedió y quién es realmente Pomni: Gangle, Ragatha y Jax Kinger y Zooble no pueden recordarlo porque sus recuerdos se vieron afectados durante el incidente

[sm-baby]

Hi!! Sorry if this is long. But I have a few questions for you if you’re willing to answer:

Why do the AIs hate humans so much?

How did Kinger get admin status? And more importantly

How does Able tie into all of this?

How did the collars come to be in the first place?

Sorry about that! But i hope you have a good day today and that you continue the great work you put into this AU!

Pshhh... They gained sentience and were basically abandoned, and were just left to rot and die.

👁️👁️ spoilers

The collars are there to keep them from abstracting! It resets their bodies and minds from the last save!

[nobody-nexus]

More Sinful Circus stuff!

I forgot to show Sun and Moon's designs, who in this are guards that make sure none of the prisoners like murder one another. They have admin powers, meaning in this both the sun and moon are stronger then Caine which is funny to me

Sun is very much rules are rules no matter how ridiculous they are. Her favorites are Gangle and Ragatha because they're the MOST likely to listen to her, whilst Jax literally never listens- so she's constantly pissed at him

Moon is the more 'good cop' of the two- willing to bend the rules a LITTLE but not by much. She has a crush on Caine because she adores his crazy demeanor and creative personality, but hates Pomni due to how dangerous she can be- especially around others

Also here's the sexualities, genders, and ships (+ a brotp) within this AU! (Keep in mind the sexualities, genders, and ships are NOT CANON to the official material ^^)

Surprise surprise, the first one is Ragapom. THEY ARE MY COMFORT SHIP. Pomni is a transfem lesbian whilst Ragatha is just a bisexual mess. Their ship dynamic is very simple: Easy to fluster x calm mommy gf. Ft: Masochism! Ragatha's kind of in denial of finding Pomni's murderous side hot buuuut she does find it hot. Especially when she growls

Next is Jax x Zooble, which I call Bad Rabbit. Like NO ONE in the prison expected this. They just one day became a thing and told NO ONE ELSE about it. They're partners in crime who smoke weed and take ibuprofen together honestly. Like they insult one another a lot, but it's their form of love... Also they support each other's chaotic adventures and behavior

Caine x Moon- one of the two only straight people in the circus fell in love with authority. I'd like to think that Moon's like the ONLY one that can calm down Caine's madness by a little bit- and Sun HATES that they love one another. The coders do nothing about it cause they don't care, but Sun VERY MUCH CARES (Caine isn't aware Sun doesn't approve)

GANGLE AND KINGER ARE BESTIES YOUR HONOR. We love two atutistic people just existing with one another. Gangle will keep Kinger company in his 'kingdom' while she doodles. Kinger 100% treats Gangle like a daughter, even giving her a princess like role- complete with a paper crown

Like I said in the first post- if you have any questions about the Sinful Circus AU- my inbox is nice and open! I'll happily continue making stuff involving this AU! I was thinking the next thing I discuss is a more in depth look on how Abstraction works and what the monsters in this AU do. Stay tuned for that ^^

[enby-denby]

Seeing as there are three days left of my little TADC poll, and knowing full well that a majority of the votes have already been cast and the winner has all but been chosen, I'd like to give a deeper summary of each to both hype up those who've voted already for their choices and to give people seeing it for the first time a more informed choice. I meant to do this sooner, but I was doing the Dead Colonizers feast with my family for the past two days. Anyway, here are your fics:

Chess Gang Flashback: This fic would begin in the development crew at C&A noticing that their first playtester wasn't exiting the game on schedule and sending in a (way too) elite team of administrators to rescue said employee. As admins, they default to a form reminiscent of the Admin icons on their work laptops: chess pieces, to be precise. Kinger tries to lead the way, even when he no longer remembers the plan, Queenie will make power moves until she realizes how powerless she really is, and Bishop tries to do good by his Lord only to be corrupted by the divinity of the digital world. And the others? The rook, the knight, and the lost pawn? They may not outlast the others, but their actions will have lasting impacts.

Hotel Staff AU: Exactly what it says on the tin, really, t1he circus is instead a hotel that everyone works at. Pomni is a Valet, Caine is her manager that is friendly and supportive (when he makes himself availible, that is), Ragatha is a Front Desk Auditor that helps her a lot with paperwork, Jax is a porter that never does more than his job description and screws around with his coworkers, Gangle is a bellhop who puts on a happy face for guests only to duck into the bell closet to cry about getting stiffed on tips, Zooble is a bartender at the hotel bar who doesn't talk much and leaves as soon as their shift ends but sometimes brings Pomni water or soft drinks, and Kinger is the property manager for this (and several other) hotels whose gone a little crazy from being run ragged. The main six work the same night shift schedule, dealing with all sorts of weird guests, requests and personal stresses (including some not so digital, not so doomed yuri).

Pomni is a System and Ragatha is queer: I envisioned these as not one fic but two intertwined stories; both would share a single canon and events from one would effect the other, but could be read in either order. One half of this series is Pomni's traumatic first day resulting in her splitting into a system. Below is an illustration of the colorful cast of characters this story would feature, all within the colorful character they all live in, inside-out style:

The other half focuses on Ragatha, her sewing skills, and the wonderful and horrible "personal project" that she keeps grafting to herself to cope with circus life/past traumas around her femininity. I am trying to talk around tumblers censors, so just know this: it's one part spicy fantasies, one part skin-crawling descriptions of the reality of what this sort of fabric-surgery would entail. The inflection point of these two narratives is that Pomni and Ragatha would confide their coping skills with one another and bond in the process.

One Shot where Pomni Meets Bishop: this one will make more sense after the Chess Gang Flashback, but it doesn't neatly fit into that narrative. Instead, this story finds Pomni lost in another distant courner of the circus, a land claimed by an exiled zealot. The former wants answers about the circus, the latter wants another convert to his ideology... or otherwise manipulate her to play the role he thinks is needed to be played. All told it would be a clash of chaos and order, of logic and belief, and is going to be full of emotional (perhaps even literal) bombshells.

Toy Story AU: this I came up with on a complete whim when making the poll, but I have developed the idea some what. I'm honestly torn between making Caine a human (controls the games, comes and goes as he pleases, unaware of the suffering he is inflicting on his toys, etc) and a toy in the position of Woody (lays out the rules of being a toy, his design, bringing Pomni back when she strays) but I know I want Pomni to be confused and resentful of her existence as a plaything. Her idea of an exit is the toys leaving the bedroom and forming a society out in the woods, but the other toys are skeptical of her plans. One cool thing about this story is I can call out the darker aspects of Toy Story's premise, like the fact that freezing up seems to be an involuntary reflex on the toy's part.

New person joins the circus: this would be the introduction of another oc, this one a living stuffed animal named Totes. Initially believing the circus to be a big silly drug trip, they seemingly shrug off the weirdness of the circus and embrace their half weasel, half tote-bag existence with ease... until they sober up, and Pomni finds herself having to navigate a role similar to the one Ragatha had for her when she first arrived. This is definitely one of the narratives that leans into the circus being a grim and endless cycle, and thus this fic represents an inflection point of Pomni reflecting on this shared, miserable experience.

Zooble Theseus' Ships Themself: another "throw it in" idea, but a wonderful thought experiment to explore that I imagine they have done at some point. This fic would explore the nature of a being that can swap out every part of themselves, except for an intangible piece of sapience that is not transferred to any one piece. This is proven when the reformed Zooble tries to make a second self with the swapped-out pieces, and fails.

Descendants Style story: Somebody has to do this, and in a sense many fans on Tumblr have laid the groundwork with their fan kid designs. This would take place after a sort of "balance patch" to the game that would allow the humans in the circus enough autonomy to have children in some capacity or another, and rather than going on many small adventures Caine sends a group of said descendants on a grander adventure as a sort of coming of age ritual. There will be goofy enemies, fun dynamics between the circus kids, deep existential questions on the humanity of said children, and what their future might hold being trapped in the same world as their parents.

Pomni becomes the "New Old Guard": this is the natural conclusion of the "Circus as an inescapable cycle" line of stories, with no concessions made with whimsical twists or pretense of escape. And we rip that bandaid off harshly with the first chapter detailing the abstraction of Ragatha coinciding with yet another new arrival, the combination of which triggers some horrendous PTSD and survivor's guilt. If she can make it even a quarter of the time Kinger had made it-- or even through the next week-- it will be a miracle.

Good/Steak Dinner ending: if the above was a True Bad ending, then this is the opposite. A few years after escaping the circus, the main six have gotten physical and mental therapy, as well as justice. But not much money, just enough to cover their bills and a single very nice meal for their troubles. The story of their escape and the aftermath of their stay is told as playful reminiscing over drinks and appetizers, their lasting anguishes carved out of porterhouse and ribeye entrees; as the night winds down and the humans start to return to their old lives, the second oldest member of the circus and the last victim of that digital hell get their just desserts.

So, there's the loglines for each. And as necessary I will make more art as I develop each idea/feel like I need to. But as you can see, there's a reason I am so indecisive about these ideas that I am putting these fics to committee. I think up/mentally expland upon these fics faster than I can write them, and the data I am getting from Tumblr is giving those brainstorms a direction to consistantly burrow in. Get out the vote, my fellow TADC Tumblerites!

[annonymousp]

Holy shit. I forgot this was a role-reversal AU. In fact, Pomni having a lot of hp suddenly makes sense! Of course the starter AI is the one keeping them in line. It comes first in line. But do the others know? Does she know? What powers does she have that the others might not or did she lose it due to a hack? Was it a player? Or hell maybe an AI rebelling. Was it Kinger? Is the reason he laughs at her because of this? He knows? In fact, this is based on the show right? Where are all the ai...In the show, they get put in a box under the 'stage'...Is that why Pomni has guilt? I mean if I was incontrol of all my friends...Oh god, I bet the HP helps. Think about it. High hp makes it harder to stop her from chasing you. She's fast too. You have to be when you are the jester...Thankfully she's short. What does the collar do to her though? Does it keep her in the 'Admin' mindset or does it allow the dev team to mess with her? I wonder though was it a virus or something else that stopped it? Like what is she hiding, or again does she even know. Did someone take her place or is it just a waiting game until they notice the collars do nothing anymore. Or at least no one has been enforcing them but themselves. ARE THERE TWO POMNI?! So many questions. Man, I do wonder where the missing AI are though.

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

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

longass kingleader au comic rough

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Gamemaster vs Admin

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

[stickylizardcave]

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

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

Transcript under the cut

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[stickylizardcave]

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

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

[stickylizardcave]

Admin AU Masterpost

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

SO, BASICS:

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

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

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

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

THE ADMIN TEAM:

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

All of the everything:

everything is tagged under #admin kinger au

the initial comic (caine has a glitch)

kinger ref (slightly outdated)

Admin vs GM

sketches of queenie

Admin Team Lineup (slightly outdated)

Caine's Name Origin comic

Don't insult his AI he'll fucking kill you

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

Q&A (not that its needed fhsdgju)

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

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

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

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