My Biblical Bad Boys Ranking

1. Judas Iscariot- He is so tragic. Doomed from the start. He betrayed his best friend, but somebody had to. One of the most famous traitors all for fulfilling his destiny. The way he hung himself afterwards and left the thirty pieces of silver lying unspent beneath him. He took no pleasure in what he had done and couldn't live with himself afterwards. Maybe if he had loved Jesus less he could have seen him again. He could have even been forgiven for following a plan he didn't know about, but he didn't wait three days. He didn't know to. He took his own life before his best friend was even cold in the ground. Free him.

2. Cain - He was innovator. Ahead of his time. There wasn't murder until he invented it. God asked him where Abel and he shot back with the iconic line "Am I my brother's keeper?". King of not incriminating himself. And honestly who hasn't wanted one less sibling? Free him.

3. Lucifer/ Satan / The Devil- There's a lot of hype around this one. OG pretty boy/ fallen angel/ bad boy. I'd like to know him biblically, but I'd never worship him. He rebelled against God and got evicted for it. No need to free him he's the warden.

o, other volo fan, i ask of you

why do people associate him with sunflowers?

fellow Volo fan, I will answer your prayers

the initial connection was from Volo's Sinnoh outfit, as it was revealed on his model and concept art he wears a sunflower-shaped fibula (the brooch that holds ups his cosplay, along with his ego)

along with this, artists simply put the connection together because of

1. the symbolism of sunflowers works very well with Volo's character (that being they always face the sun, represent loyalty and adoration, and in some cultures that ''facing the sun'' being always facing towards God, in this case Arceus)

and 2. drawing sunflowers with Volo simply slap color scheme wise

Genesis 4:8-12

And Cain spoke to Abel his brother, and it came to pass when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother and slew him.

And the Lord said to Cain, "Where is Abel your brother?" And he said, "I do not know. Am I my brother's keeper?"

And He said, "What have you done? Hark! Your brother's blood cries out to Me from the earth.

And now, you are cursed even more than the ground, which opened its mouth to take your brother's blood from your hand.

When you till the soil, it will not continue to give its strength to you; you shall be a wanderer and an exile in the land.”

As a Palestinian Jew, the ongoing genocide makes my heart ache with a pain unimaginable.

October 7th was Simchat Torah, which starts the Torah over with Bereshit. The story of Adam and Eve, and of Cain and Abel. I personally found a parallel between the Cain and Abel story and the Palestinian Genocide.

Along the top and side are traditional Palestinian embroidery patterns. In both Arabic and Hebrew the middle says “From the River to the Sea.”

HOLD ON!!! ARE WE GOING TO MEET CAIN?!

The outskirts of Pentagram City stretched before Adam like a bad joke. A barren wasteland with nothing but silence to keep him company. The address led to a small, decaying house barely standing on the edge of the city.

Adam: *squinting at the house* So, either he’s living like a hermit or this is a setup. Perfect.

He walked up to the door, hesitated for a moment, then knocked. The sound echoed through the stillness, but no immediate answer came. Adam tapped his foot impatiently.

Adam: Great. What’s next? He’s a hulking monster who—

The door creaked open, cutting him off.

Adam froze, his breath catching in his throat. Standing in the doorway wasn’t a terrifying demon or a monstrous figure warped by sin. It was a child.

The boy in front of him had wispy blonde hair so light that it looked white, red circles on his cheeks, and a blank expression that seemed far older than his youthful appearance.

Adam: *staring in disbelief* C-Cain?

Cain: *softly, peaking a bit shyly* Wh-who are you? H-how did you get pa-past the bar’-e-er?

Adam: *wincing at the memories flooding his mind* (internally) Cain used to have a stutter…I’d almost forgot that. (Externally) Hey Cain. I guess it’s been a while since we seen each other huh?

Cain: *wearily* Y-you still didn’t an-ahn-ser mah question.

Adam: You don’t recognize me? It’s me, your— *he paused and cleared his throat* It’s me, Adam.

Cain: *squints a bit and shook his head with fear and closed the door*

Adam stared at the closed door for a moment, dumbfounded. His hand lingered on the handle before he knocked again, this time with more urgency.

Adam: Cain, come on. Don’t shut me out like that. I’m not here to hurt you.

The faint sound of shuffling came from behind the door, followed by Cain’s hesitant voice, muffled but still trembling.

Cain: Y-you’re lying. H-how do I know it’s you? My Dad— I mean…A-Adam is d-dead.

Adam leaned against the doorframe, his voice softening.

Adam: Yeah, well, death isn’t as final as we thought. Guess we both found that out the hard way, huh? I’ve got the scars to prove it. Open the door, and I’ll explain everything.

There was a long pause, the kind that stretched uncomfortably. Then, the door creaked open just a crack, and Cain peeked through. His wide, uncertain eyes scanned Adam’s face.

Cain: *quietly* Y-you look... different.

Adam sighed, running a hand through his disheveled hair.

Adam: Yeah, it happens. Don’t worry, though—I’d recognize you anywhere.

Cain’s grip on the door tightened, his small hands trembling.

Cain: B-but why are you h-here?

Adam: *pauses, searching for the right words* Because... I didn’t know where else to go.

Cain blinked, his expression flickering with confusion and something that looked a lot like hope. After another long pause, he opened the door just enough for Adam to step inside.

The interior of the house was sparse, almost unnervingly so. No furniture, no decorations—just bare walls and a single tattered blanket on the floor. Cain shuffled back a few steps, his small frame looking even smaller in the desolate room.

Cain: *nervously* Y-you really came to see... me?

Adam: *grimaces* Yeah, I did. Though... I wasn’t exactly expecting you to look the same.

Cain’s cheeks flushed slightly, his red circle marks standing out more as he lowered his gaze.

Cain: I c-can’t ch-change. It’s... part of the c-curse. *he looks down at his hands that were covered with over mitts tapped down to his skin so there couldn’t easily be removed. There was more to the curse.

Adam: *softly* I know, kid. I know.

Cain looked up sharply, his expression shifting between suspicion and longing.

Cain: S-so... what d-do you want?

Adam hesitated, his hand unconsciously drifting to his stomach.

Adam: *quietly* I need help, Cain. And... maybe you do too.

"Adam" (12-29-24) [supposed to be about the Adam & Eve Genesis narrative if that's not painfully obvious lmao] <made with this>

"I remember wind in my nose The garden  The tree The tiger, bird, and butterfly We were happy, special, new, and  His She whispered to eat And we ate together Dad was like a storm Go He roared from the sky Leave I cried The sky is different here  I have a birthday And a baby and a child My name is dad If family eats from the tree  like candy With a gentle hand I will do something helpful & good Never answer with His wild roar And understand And understand.”

OKAY! I HAVE A SMALL LIL THEORY ABOUT TADC ANS ITS ADVENTURES!! IF YOU STILL HAVENT WATCHED THE NEW EPISODE, PLEASE DO CAUSE IM GONNA SPOIL SOME STUFF FROM IT!!

OKAY! I noticed something while watching one of my fav YouTubers reacting to TADC, they were talking about how the show is like some sort of allegory for the bible, which makes sense considering everything that has happened in the past two/three episodes, in the pilot when Pomni goes into that weird liminal type space when trying to leave the circus, she enters an office which as the intitals of C&A (Caine and Abel), Caine is considered a god to NPCS, and obviously there’s the angel in the newest episode. SO IT GOT ME THINKING!!!! We all know of Dante’s Inferno, right? If you don’t, I highly recommend looking it up! And the one thing the YouTuber I was watching said ‘It’s like Pomni keeps on getting deeper and deeper’ or something like that, and I was like ‘Lol, it’s kinda reminds me of ultra kill.’

AND THEN! IT HIT ME!! THERE ARE THREE EPISODES SO FAR!! AND IF GOOSEWORX MAKES IT UP TO NINE EPISODES, THEN THIS THEORY MIGHT BE PRETTY DAMN CLOSE TO WHATEVER SHES PLANNING!!

This right here is Dante’s Inferno, and I noticed similarities in the episodes that can be tracked back here, but it was confusing, cause at first if didn’t make sense when I looked at it, and was about to throw the idea away when I thought of something, what if you looked at it backwards? AND HOLY FUCK GUYS! IT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE WHEN YOU DO!!! My main theory about the episodes is that Pomni is gonna have to go through hell (Literally and figuratively) before she could actually escape from the circus. And so, the minute the fourth episode comes out, I will be keeping an eye out for anymore biblical references, AND IF I NOTICE THAT THERES A SIMILARITY TO HERESY IN IT, THEN BE PREPARED FOR MY INSANITY CAUSE IM GOING TO EXPLODE IF THIS IS RIGHT IN SOME WAY.

There was originally more I wanted to say, but I accidentally deleted the half of it so you get the short version :P

Fleshed out a few other characters for an Adamsapple roleplay I've been doing with my friend haha, it's Cain! Yes, that Cain.

Or my own version of him, he runs fight clubs and acts as an overlord, he doesn't start out at all receptive of Adam's presence once he finds out he's now in Hell, but we've had them slowly starting to make amends

I kind of tried to make him look Adam-adjacent even though I went with a non-humanoid shape for him, honestly I don't have an excuse why he's a goat/sheep, I just really wanted to base him off of a jacobs sheep

He had wings at one point that he cut off, for a similar reason as fighting dogs have their ears cropped, but also symbolically because he doesn't feel like he deserves them.

SIDE NOTE! I have a few characters to upload from this so bear with me while I be cringe for a minute, I'll probably tag these as...IDK

Redemptionverse? I'll use that for now in case anyone wants to block these posts haha

TADC Theory: Caine was the FIRST human in the digital world:

We need context first so here is a quick review of what you need to know:

The story of Cain and Able is simple. The two men, sons of Adam and Eve are making sacrifices to God. While Cain’s sacrifice was more physically abundant, Abel’s sacrifice was more substantial because he sacrificed ‘more’. Cain didn’t stand to lose much from his gifts. Regardless, Able was chosen as the winner by God. Filled with jealousy and rage, Cain killed Able and committed the first act of murder on Earth. God exiled Cain and he was forced to wander. God did add protection to Cain though as Cain was worried someone else might try to kill him. According to Genesis 4:15 though, God marked Cain and said anyone who killed him would receive a sevenfold punishment, or a punishment seven times worse. How does this connect to TADC?

C&A (the company’s logo we see while Pomni is running through the ‘Stanley Parable’ looking office) presumably stands for Caine and Able! Yes ‘Cain’ is spelled differently for the show. Anyway, in this scenario the CEO would be God. He oversees all of the company, and that makes Caine and Able in running for the company’s chair.

Caine and Able both present something to the CEO to win his favoritism and put them in running for the position. The CEO chooses Able. After, Caine does something to betray Able (could be anything from sabotaging Able’s gift, to murder), the CEO forces Caine to work on TADC (or send him back, either works), exiling him and ruining his opportunity to be the favorable one at all. Perhaps he worked in a division by himself, protecting him from others who may take issue with his presence. The CEO has marked Caine as someone not to be messed with, much like God did for the biblical Cain. Caine (the pearly white one) gets sucked into the world; he is the first human to get stuck there. He is forced to wander the digital plane.

Since Caine was working on the game though he knows access codes and the likes, so is able to grant himself abilities to alter the world. But he doesn’t have total power (and I don’t think he wants it). But as more people get stuck in there, Caine, who worked to make the world, feels bad for how it has trapped them, so he tries to help them not only as an apology but to try and redeem himself for betraying his ‘brother’.

Perhaps Able is actually dead, and Caine, true to his namesake, killed Abel to try and get the company passed down to him. Can’t pass it to the dead brother after all. Regardless, Caine would be in control of virtually (haha) everything except for the minds of other humans, something that no code has access to.

Something I didn’t mention was that Cain, in the original biblical story, worked and built a town after his exile. What does the ringmaster Caine do? Make a habitable place for human minds in the circus. He gives them enrichment and entertainment, knowing full well that this is not a holy paradise. But he does make the most of it. And once again, here he is protected, having a high status that no one dares to test. He has built a salvation for him.

Of course this is all based on a single name, a company logo, and a Bible story, but I don’t think it’s a bad theory even with all the speculation. It’s at least plausible.
