The Clown "White" and the Clown "Red"

The circus has created two distinct types of clowns: the "white" and the "red". They form a symbiotic couple. The red clown – the one with the red nose (known as “Augustus”) – represents awkwardness, ridiculousness, failure, disorganization, transgression, anarchy, emotionality, the child, the belly. Its opposite, the white clown, stands for order, rules, authority, norms, discipline, rationality, parenting, the head. Their relationship is nothing more than the externalization of the inner conflicts of the human being, expressed in the configuration of two separate figures. The first is elegance, grace, harmony, intelligence, lucidity, which are moralistically proposed as the ideal situations, the only ones, the indisputable divinities. Here, therefore, the negative aspect of the matter immediately appears: because the white clown, in this way becomes the Mother, the Pope, the Master, the Artist, the Beautiful, in short, what must be done. Then the augustus, who would be fascinated by these perfections if they were not flaunted with such rigour, revolts. He sees that the "sequins" are shining: however the arrogance with which they present themselves makes them unattainable. The august rebels against such perfection, gets drunk, rolls over, on the ground and soul, therefore, a perpetual contestation. This is, therefore, the struggle between the superb cult of reason (which arrives at an overbearingly proposed aestheticism) and instinct, the freedom of instinct. The white clown and the august are mastery and the child, the mother and the naughty son; finally, one could say: the angel with the flaming sword and the sinner. In short, they are two psychological attitudes of man: the upward thrust and the downward thrust, divided, separate.

The two figures embody a myth that is basically each of us: the reconciliation of opposites, the uniqueness of being. The soreness that exists in the continuous war between the white clown and the august is not due to the music or something similar but to the circumstance that a fact presents itself before our eyes concerning our inability to reconcile the two figures. In fact, the more you want to force the augustus to play the violin, the more he will fart with the trombones. Again: the white clown will pretend that the august is elegant. But the more this request is made with authority, the more the other will be reduced to being ragged, awkward, dusty. It is the perfect fable for an education that intends to propose life in idealized, abstract terms. @kingdc2017 @jerrylevitch @starryyide @felinesetmilktea

Okay hear me out on this one, after episode 3 I’ve had a lot of theories about the cast (mainly Kinger) but one that I’ve seen no one really talk about is this.

I think if Kinger were to abstract it will indirectly cause the groups downfall. In an actual game of chess, if you lose the king you lose the game. I think I’d be cool if this is applied in a more literal sense in the circus - they lose the king they slowly start to crumble.

Perhaps there’s more tension in the group after it, maybe say Jax makes a jokey comment about how he knew I’d happen and that annoys Pomni cause she grew to really like Kinger, maybe someone else abstracts as a result of Kinger’s loss. Idk haven’t really thought further ahead, there’s honestly many ways to go about this.

Spoilers for the new digital circus episode

THE NEW EPISODE WAS SO GOOD OH MY GOD AAAAAAAA!!!!!!! They totally teased us with that Jax angst, but it was still amazing! They better bring back Gumigoo in a future adventure. Man did not deserve what happened to him. He had his entire reality crushed and just when things were going well for him again, he got deleted. And of course it was Pomni who had to get close to him. My poor girl just can't catch a break. ALSO, THEY HAD A FUNERAL FOR KAUFO. THEY HAVE FUNERALS. I AM NOT OKAY. THE ENDING WAS SO FUCKING SWEET MY GOD!!!! POMNI HAS FRIENDS NOW AAUGDKDVAJSG!!! All it took was for her to get trapped in a digital hell hole. Good for her! Also there's a Kinger plush. I must have it. I need to cuddle him.

FINALLY I DRAW SOMETHING!!!!!!!

some Joseph, both young (around 1980 i'd say, when he was traveling w Stan a few years before the portal incident) and old (~2017, now an art teacher at Westchester High). i like to think the first one is a picture Stan took of him while they were traveling and the second one is his staff photo at WH. the more things change the more they stay the same. i might give em backgrounds and foregrounds to look like that

he's had that jacket since the 70s. real leather will last you.

no glasses alts + the first sketch below

Umm garkei..

I think u mixed your text bubbles up ;;;

[dent-de-leon]

You said something about Hades AU and all I can think about of emotionally constipated Hades!Caleb and full of life and joy Persephone!Molly kahxbagd

!! Oh this is so sweet ; ; The image of Tealeaf as both a denizen of the underworld and god of spring after being resurrected amidst all the Wildmother’s flowers and greenery—spring as rebirth, life after death. The way Yasha described Molly as color and life in the midst of a barren wasteland where nothing grew—oh I love this for him, it warms my whole heart.

And Caleb who’s always had a longing to reach out to those he lost, always tried to turn back time and bring his loved ones back—always being kind to the dead. Caleb listening attentively to every shade he meets, trying to make them comfortable and give them peace. A safe place to rest. Caleb knowing better than anyone that the dead can never truly escape the Underworld, but…a part of him is still young and foolish, still hopes—

And the reason Persephone leaves home in the first game still breaks my whole heart. And as for what would drive Molly to leave—I don’t know that he’d intend to stay away forever, but. If Molly/King started to recover fleeting memories of his last life, I think at a certain point he’d try to make it to the world above.

Like how Kingsley needed a bit of distance at first, needed to rediscover himself before he was truly ready to let himself be vulnerable and open with his family. King finally working up the courage to face his past, “Finally reads that book, and goes to visit. And learn.”

Tealeaf starting to wake from too many nightmares and familiar dreams. Stumbling across Beau’s journal and can’t help being curious, needing to know more. Realizing he wants to reconcile with the past. Tealeaf trying to run away and steal a ship upriver to the surface, telling himself it’s not forever. Caleb never once trying to stop him, ready to let go if that’s what his Circus Man needs—but also knowing that death has claimed him too many times already, that the Matron’s threads can’t be undone.

Caleb still writing Molly letters for when he finally comes home. Holding onto his old coat. Keeping a spare room in the Tower always ready for him. Waiting for reunion—

[ID: college aged Dick Grayson, in his Robin costume, talking to Mr. Haly (the circus owner) after preventing a tragedy from occuring. Dick worriedly asks, “But what will you do now, Mr. Haly? With the damage caused by the fire you might have to sell out...” Mr. Haly reassures, “No, my boy, because for years I've been recoevin these checks — anonymously! Thanks to them, the Haly Circus will remain in my control!” He shows Dick the check, who instantly recognizes it! He thinks, ‘Hmmmm, that check comes from a bank where a certain Bruce (Batman) Wayne is a heavy depositor... What do you know!’ He tells Haly, “Well, you're still on top, Mr. Haly — and I have places to go!” END ID]
