#we're at waffles assumption station

[sockatoothewafflebird]

okay i have a theoryyyyy (can you even call it that??? i dunno probably not) about digital circus. i have thoughts happening in my brain right now and i have to put them somewhere.

basically, if we take the tone of the first two episodes and judge the whole show on that, i think it's gonna be a lit more wholesome than some people think. not pointing any fingers at anyone i promise, i'm just thought dumping.

just take a look at this for a second.

after pomni goes through hell, finds an unlikely friend, and loses him within a single day, she finally gets a moment of calm. of... probably not happiness, but she's alright.

the episode ends on a pretty high note, all things considered.

i think the whole show is gonna be like this. this is only the second episode and the emotional rollercoaster is nothing short of headache-inducing (in a good way). and somehow we're all crying happy tears at the end of it. i'd say that's a good indicator of how things will be next episode, or at least what to vaguely expect?

i'm honestly getting a more episodic kind a plot vibe from this. and i think there might've been something gooseworx said about that but i can't recall. lore-wise, we probably won't get much more than the emotional baggage all the characters are carrying, considering how pomni has probably already accepted that there is NO WAY OUT. she's not shown to be actively looking for an exit anywhere in ep 2 and she says literally nothing about it.

i think each episode will have pomni trying to not explode or something during an adventure, while also spending time with, getting to know, maybe even bonding with (willingly or not) the character the episode centers around. this is just speculation- waffles assumption station, if you will- but i just have a feeling.

pomni helps her fellow prisoners not go insane, like she does with gummigoo. i think he's a stand-in for every other character in whatever situation they find themselves in. like ep 3 is gonna be about zooble and kinger, so maybe pomni's forced to group with them and they all have some kind of vague heart-to-heart?

i dunno. once again, waffles assumption station (chug-a-chug-a-choo-choo). this is probably just me being physically unable to handle angst without a happy ending. and if this show has no happy ending, or at the very least if it doesn't have some kind of ambiguous or bittersweet ending, i WILL be crying oceans. i'll probably cause flash flood warnings in my area
