LISTEN. LISTEN TO ME. I WATCHED THE AMAZING DIGITAL CIRCUS AND I HAD A VISION.
npc rainy...
he is supposed to be friend shaped, acts as a sort of friendly face to make the place less empty and lonely! someone you can talk to whenever you want!
of course such ai has to come from somewhere! let's just say he's "recycled"!
err... don't let him learn that though!
#i feel insane#did you know you can break him if he learns about the truth of his existence#he thinks he works at the circus#which is true but not in the way he thinks#imagine not being real...#or realizing you used to be real but the funny teeth man recycled you after you abstracted#god bless.#and now you are suspectable to breaking and going off script#and you dont want to be reset or “fixed” because living in the lie and living in ignorance might drive you more insane than the truth will#and on top of that you changed twice#because you were brought to the circus as a person stuck there and now you're reduced to a piece of code#but that code was from you so you're technically still yourself in a sense#so every time you break you start to gain memories#or very small snippets because the funny teeth man did recycle you#so therefore the funny machine npc thing you are now is made up of whatever was left of your brain to make the code#or... digital brain...#motherboard???#YOU GET THE POINT#npcs doing npc things#haha identity crisis#i am so very tired...#rainy dewdrop#tadc oc

Silly guys goin' on silly adventures:]
@rorydrawsandwrites's puppeteer au but the only difference is that jax gives consent
My contribution to this wonderful au has been long overdue:')
Rambling in tags ehe (cw: ribbun:p)
Well maybe it's not the only difference
#I think in this version of the au possesion puts you into an almost dream-like state#Slipping into a sort of weird trance#Like physically you still have control of your body#But mentally you're mindlessly following orders from a disembodied voice#Kinda works like that imperius curse in harry potter (yes ik rowling sucks)#And jax soon figured out it was great for dissasociating😀#Escapism and heavily dependant on those possesion sessions to preserve his own mental stability:')#But *cue dramatic music🥁*#He eventually realises that it was not the possesion that brings him comfort and peace no more#But the presence and embrace of gangle that did<3💖💗💞#Jskhsskhj sorry that was so cheesy🧀#Well more or less its because he hadnt have human interaction in AWHILE it seems#Goose did confirm that it has been a long time since he last got a hug:(#*almost* made me feel bad there#Mkay enough rambling about this slight very minor variation of the story#I hope this whole thing was coherent to even be readable=]#Maybe ill even add emojis✨#tadc gangle#tadc jax#ribbun#the amazing digital circus#Tadc au#tadc fanart#tadc fandom#gangle x jax#jax x gangle#Let me have this guys#Let me indulge-#Her head is a tad bit too small yes IM AWARE#This is actually probably my fastest post to reach 100 notes wth (in like 7-8 hours)

you're all tarted up and you don't look the same but it just gets worse [1] [2] [3] [4]
#this has been living in my brain for a while now#and i've listened to the clips so much and watched so many videos that now it all kinda sounds the same#but he gradually developed a growl on 'you're all' and it makes me giggle#he even got himself in the last one because it's so unhinged. you can hear his lil giggle afterwards 😭#notice how ALL the footage is late sias era when he really started leaning into hyping up the crowd and showboating a bit more.#there was a whole lotta pointing 🫵 and jumping off shit#i think it was also opening for the 'black keys' that the band had to work to 'win' the crowd over and he said he liked the challenge.#ANYWAYS. 'still take you home' will forever remain a banger#AND the transition from 'this house is a circus' into 'still take you home' will forever be a favourite#alex turner#arctic monkeys#sias era#arctic monkeys edit#still take you home#mine#daddy-long-legssss

DPxDC Writing prompt: A new circus is in town appeared seemingly overnight, a circus of meta humans with red eyes and equally terrifying and wondrous acts. It’s suspicious as all hell and even more suspicious when Jason suddenly feels overwhelmingly compelled to join it when he sees the commercial for it on the TV. Seriously, where the hell did this ‘Circus Gothica’ even come from?
Ok hear me out; y’know in that one episode where we’re introduced to Freakshow and he brainwashes Danny but then it’s ok because he’s saved by his friends?
What if Sam and Tucker and been too late? If Danny had been successful taken?
What if no one believed Sam and Tucker when they said Danny had been kidnapped and he’s not a runaway?
And what if he’s been brainwashed for over 3 years while travelling in the Circus, the only people caring enough to find him being unable to do anything about it?
And what if Freakshow made the mistake of preforming in Gotham where the Bats dwelled? And where they’ll take a deeper look into the circus’s suspicious behaviour…
#dcxdp#this is just an excuse to have more sibling Danny & Jason#and an excuse to use Freakshow more as a villain#that fucker is TERRIFYING when you think about it#and creepy as all hell#I want to see him in more in fics during flashbacks#danny phantom#jason todd#Freakshow#circus au#I headcanon that Danny is somewhat more aware as the years go by but he’s still heavily under the influence#because he’s a halfa#and he got the werid biology#brainwashed au#idk what I’m doing with Jack and Maddie in this fic#bad parents?#i guess so#Jazz?#she’s going feral#same with Sam and Tucker#but they’re minors so they can’t do anything#Jazz can’t pinpoint and get to the circus in time whenever it stops#Danny is really edgy due to the orb’s influence so I can imagine if Jazz does get there in time that he’ll just dismiss her#or tell her to fuck off#look he’s been under the influence of the orb for years rn#give him a break#No one bats an eye at the REALLY suspicious stuff because of the orb’s influence or the circus just up and leaves before an investigation#seriously#it’s hard tracking a magical ghost train#and the ghosts working there overshadow the authorities whenever things get too heated

Lalla Ward makes a brief appearance as Lady Augusta, intended bride to an ill-fated aristocrat, in A Ghost Story for Christmas: The Ash Tree (BBC, 1975)
#fave spotting#lalla ward#doctor who#a ghost story for christmas#the ash tree#1975#romana#romana ii#spoilers for the ash tree ig????#i mean it's pretty obvious from the outset that Ed Petherbridge's aristo is not in for a good time#i mean he's a Jamesian protagonist for one thing....#lalla had been acting since the beginning of the decade‚ with a fair number of one off appearances on tv and the odd film to her name#(most notably Hammer's Vampire Circus). she was still a few years off DW and genre immortality at this point#it isn't the most rewarding role; James (who i don't think many would argue that he wasn't a bit of a chauvinist) rarely featured#significant women characters in his work (a large number of them being academical in setting didn't help). actually the ash tree#is something of an outlier in that regard‚ as it does feature a significant female character in Mrs. Mothersole‚ but we can hardly consider#her a positive feminine presence... actually one of Lawrence Gordon Clark's regrets about this particular entry in the Ghost Story for#Christmas canon is the failure of him and writer David Rudkin to make a true villain of Mothersile; Clark felt that their shared sympathies#for the historical victims of witchhunting prevented them from capturing the 'evil' of the character (tho it's debatable how much James#himself intended her to be truly evil; this is just Clark's opinion after all‚ and fwiw i think Rudkin's greater complexity of the#character is more interesting‚ more believable and more appropriate)#i rambled. anyway yes‚ not a meaty role perhaps‚ but Lalla sinks her teeth in all the same and in just a few brief scenes successfully#creates a vivid and fully realised character‚ a charming and flirtatious fiancée with something of a rebellious streak#no ash tree post bc i made one the last time i watched it a couple of years ago

can the funnybunny enjoyers of the tadc fandom and the funnybunny enjoyers specifically stop making jax and pomni so painfully heterosexual for five seconds. looking at you ao3.
#the amazing digital circus#some people write really good fanfics about the two. and i read them constantly!! but we dont talk abt the rest of them...#making them fall into the “alpha male jax” and “submissive and scared pomni” type of shit.#EVEN GANGLE WOULDNT WRITE THAT.#pomni is not a cinnamon roll who is scared all the time. jax is not secretly nice. scared of being vulnerable? that could work#but SECRETLY NICE? HELL NAH#this sorta thing is why half of jax's fans dipped after watching the second episode#jax is a bitch!!! he can still care abt someone (for example kaufmo. or in this case pomni) while still being an ass.#pomni has a backbone! STOP WRITING HER LIKE A CARBON COPY OF GANGLE#even gangle talks back sometimes you think pomni won't?#the only reason pomni was so paranoid in the pilot was becuz she JUST GOT HERE. and she wants to LEAVE but CANT.#she is NOT LUIGI!11!1!!11#well. maybe. luigi is brave. but thats not the point#funnybunny#pomni x jax#jax x pomni

Tim Drake is a coffee gremlin who solely survives on excess amounts of caffeine to get through cases: not entirely backed up by canon characterization but overall harmless
But consider! Tim Drake is an AuDHD king and caffeine has a paradoxical effect on him. It’s the hyperfixation of it all that keeps him going
#you ever hyperfixate on something so hard you forget to be tired?#your honor#nerotypical people don’t Special Interest so hard they discover Batman’s secret identity#this man went to the circus as a toddler and saw a boy do a quadruple somersault#YEARS later while he was stalking Batman and Robin he saw Robin do that exact quad somersault#he not only recognized the move but recalled that nobody else in the world but Dick Grayson could do it#not to mention the whole ‘obsessively following around Batman and Robin for years before actually becoming Robin’ thing#and picking up enough from it that he was able to actually rescue Batman from two face#I’m not an expert on neurotypical brains but I don’t think that’s how they work#coming from somebody who picks up on trivial things and remembers all sorts of random facts#and as somebody who has accidentally stayed up till 3am researching a special interest#Batman#dc robin#Tim Drake#alfred pennyworth#dick Grayson

I think mayhaps that Batman should exclusively be a member of the Justice League Dark. He doesn't really like working with people but also sometimes John Constantine is like "You know Batsy, If you help me save the world by proxy it saves Gotham" So he does begrudgingly. But only sometimes when they need help with some things because he's like a very good detective and sometimes you need that! But also mostly I just want the rest of the Justice League to not believe that The Batman is real??
There's an issue that they need dealt with and they think it's a demon so they call Constantine and he's like "nah mate, this is just weird ritualistic sacrifices, I got a call to B-man on this one"
And Superman is like "haha The Batman isn't real... Right?" And then they meet him and he is very much real.
And Diana is all like "Oh Clark you silly, obviously The Batman is real" But internally she's like "holy shit The Batman is real???"
Green Arrow still doesn't believe it because he keeps missing any mission that The Batman happens to go on and he's like "If The Batman was real my best friend Brucie Wayne would have told me so. Brucey said that the Batman is just a scare tactic created by the Gotham Police department" So he's pretty sure that the rest of the Justice League is just playing a long practical joke against him specifically
#justice league#justice league dark#john constantine#batman#I also specifically want all of Bruce's children to call him (Constantine) “Uncle John”#because of running bit where he insists that magic isn't real#'I worked in a circus Uncle John I know all of the tricks You can't fool me haha silly uncle John“#And John is like 'boy you literally watched me raise a zombie from the dead#'You have literally seen so much magic happen right before you're very eyes'#and dick is like 'hahaha smoke and mirrors :)'#I think Tim would have a good aptitude for doing magic so John is mostly teaching him things along with zantana#I think once Jason comes back from the dead he would be very strong at doing magic but also I think it would be very volatile#and hard to control#I'm imagining holiday dinners where zantana and John both come but they're not dating right now so it's very awkward#obviously Jason Blood/Etrigan are there#the gay uncles if you will#also deadman is there But I don't imagine he's visible all the time unless they cast some sort of spell#Bruce would very much like it if these people were not in his house all the time#But his children are attached so what is he to do

Has anyone made an Infinity Train AU for The Amazing Digital Circus?
#infinity train#the amazing digital circus#mari talks#I just think the world building of IT would work perfectly with a TADC AU#like Pomni and the others are passengers and Cane is a train NPC#the digital circus is a train car they all choose to stick around in while they try and figure out how to get their number to zero#Jax would defo have the highest number and he doesn’t care that it’s that high#I can see him as a former Apex member who got kicked out cuz he was too old

if they're from the right main 7, perhaps funnel and poppy? :eyes:
Imagine that I'm doing the evil laugh from Welcome To The Internet right here for me okay
Funnel and Poppy have the most changes in their relationship from my original plan when I was younger. Their personalities and stories were rewritten and fleshed out and as a result, so was their dynamic.
Poppy and Funnel do not like each other. They do not hate each other and are tolerant of each other in different ways, but they do not like each other. When Poppy returned to the circus- now the last performer to join it rather than the first -it was to see if Funnel was still The Ringmaster and prove that they could never be more than that (as some strange form of closure), that the carnie was just waiting to use and abuse the folks working here. Funnel, who just wasn't the person Poppy thought they were no matter how much he wanted them to be, offered up a job and a deal to Poppy- that deal being that Poppy could exploit their money and time for whatever he wanted, as compensation for what they put him through years ago. Both jumping at the chance for personal gain and wanting to see where this whole "I'm a changed person" shenanigan was going, Poppy accepted.
While Poppy keeps an eye on Funnel and is intrusive to their life on purpose, Funnel is relatively indifferent to Poppy's existence, but still finding him just a little more obnoxious than they remember. They honestly don't care a lot about what Poppy does with their money and time (with a couple of exceptions) and mostly carries on with their life without really talking to him unless it's necessary. They understand why he's upset and don't invalidate his feelings about what they put him through as The Ringmaster, but in doing so, Funnel never really thinks about Poppy's feelings. They just give him whatever he wants because they think that's what helps him and they don't like or care about him enough to want to talk about it. They don't use their money for much more than necessities and they're usually at home, so if he summons them up for something, they probably weren't doing anything anyway. They're almost avoidant of him beyond being his boss because they, despite wanting him to feel better, think he's annoying.
In present day, years after this deal has been set in place, Poppy no longer cares that much about what happened with him and The Ringmaster, he even straight up admits that it's not the worst thing that had ever happened to him while he was living on the streets. He admires Funnel now and thinks that their continued efforts and commitments to changing for the better for so many years are inspiring and, much like everyone that comes to this circus, has a rekindled love for performing because seeing how much Funnel loves it for real made him realize how fun it really can be. And you would think that, since Poppy has kind of let the situation go and has seen that Funnel really has changed for the better, he would cut the deal as well and just work at the circus like normal, right? Of course not! You think he'd let a gig like this get away? You're crazy. He doesn't have to keep this up but by god he's going to.
You see, Poppy refuses to outwardly acknowledge that Funnel has changed and continues to do so because, now, he's afraid of their new dynamic changing. He's afraid of having to admit that he's holding onto something he let of a long time ago for the sake of personal gain. He knows Funnel is changed. He knows Funnel isn't going to hurt anyone. He knows he doesn't care about their past anymore.
But he can't let Funnel know that. He can't lose this.
Despite having anything he wants, Poppy still wants everything he can get.
#Funnel Cake#Poppy Seed#asks#poppy is great because i've made him awful#i love him so much more now#poppy thinks he's better than funnel because funnel is a witch cookie and can never change that- unlike him who can change whenever he want#poppy loses this mentality after like three months of working at the circus but keeps it up for years for his own benefit and gain#funnel doesn't care about poppy's opinion of them but they don't care so much that it wraps around to not caring about him at all#they are so jaded to his existence because of how they treat each other that they aren't sure if they'd help if he broke his leg in a ditch#they need. to talk ASDFGHJKL#Gingerfolk Universe

Can you draw Kaufmo maybe?
I just want to see how you would humanize him.
kaufmo will remain the one untouched tadc human design, because there is no improvement to be made
#sangspeaks#the amazing digital circus#in all seriousness i just don't think there's much to work with#he's basically already there

Another unpopular opinion: Neither Steve nor Cesare bathe on even a semi-regular basis. I'm talking like,,,, several weeks going by at a time. With Steve it's fine because if he doesn't bathe for long enough he just smells more and more like popcorn or smthn, while Cesare smells equally of roadkill whether he bathes or not.
#bigtop burger#btb cesare#btb steve#It would be kinda funny if Cesare's catsuit is like chock full of pot purri sachets and those little smelly car things#Because he knows he smells bad so he overcompensates to seem “normal” and it just creates a horrible sensory miasma in their tiny work spac#idk if he'd actually smell tho#I don't think mummies smell and they've also been super dead for a super long time#He does seem like the type of guy to use an obnoxious amount of cologne either way#Second option for Steve is smelling like circus peanuts#Those weird little peanut candies

So.. I don't think Caine is evil at all but you know that theory that when people lie they look to their upper right?
When Caine's explaining the exit and his "Unfinished Work" he glances to the upper right an awful lot
#TADC#The Amazing Digital Circus#Caine#Cardinal Chirps#I don't think he's evil but I think there's something more to it then just his unfinished work
