Missing In Action Master Post

All chapters of my fanfic below. Definitely read the prologue first.

EDIT: I'm sorry that the chapter releases got so sporadic and spaced out. Originally they would come out on Saturdays, but I haven't kept up with that well for a very long time. There's not too many chapters left to do, it's just a matter of getting them done.

In the meantime, I finally figured out how to turn plain text into a link! Now there'll be prev/next links on each chapter, and no clunky links here. Thank you to everyone who's read this pic and been patient with me.

Missing in Action Epilogue

[garaks-padded-bra]

I had a dream i got to explain tf2 to my friend and i remember being crazy excited because someone finally wanted me to explain tf2 to them, but then almost as soon as i started my alarm went off and i woke up. And i was so angry. And it took me until halfway through my morning shower to realise I wasnt actually explaining tf2 i was telling lies about how scout had a sun hat and it would get bigger every time he respawned so scouts with big hats were bullied relentlessly. Thats what inspired that raw anger.

I forgot I drew this, wanted to share again.

Hey guys, I have some serious news for my followers.

Today I realized that somebody has been signing into my Tumblr from a different state since 2024. I sign into Tumblr enough that the notification emails were mixed with my real sign ons, so the issue went unnoticed until now.

So far I haven't seen any posts that I did not personally put on this account, or any suspicious links. It looks like the person might have just been trying to send me fake Xbox promotions, or made an Xbox account using my email that's connected to this Tumblr.

But just in case, I'd like to share some information to make sure nobody here gets scammed by someone pretending to be me.

I do sometimes go back and make quality of life edits on my posts, like making nicer links for my fanfic chapters. But I would not go back and link anything like commissions or ways to support me financially.

I do not currently have any accounts aside from this Tumblr and a Youtube account that I made just to comment and warn a creator about the TADC finale leaks (when they were first announced). Apart from that one comment on a Nirami short, activity from CheemsCakeCat on YouTube should not be happening.

I do not have a Patreon, Ko-fi, Tik Tok, Instagram, Twitter/X, Bluesky, or Facebook account. If my art or username is in use on those sites, it's not me using them.

If you see any messages or links from my account involving commissions or payments, those are not from me. Please report anything suspicious that you see from my account in the comments on this post. My DMs are follower only right now.

Screencap redraw of the devs from the Silly Circus au.

The first installment of the comic should be out soon, but once again I've written a fan-story that will probably take me years to finish. I'm excited to share it either way.

I'm realizing now that Caine's head is big enough to clamp down on somebody to eat them, but Silly Caine's isn't. Boy gotta nibble on your arm or something instead (he won't).

Also, because of the finale leak I'm not interacting with my for-you or comments or messages. But I will return after the Youtube release on June 19th. I'm sorry, I love hearing from people that like what I make and yapping about it, but I'm avoiding spoilers.

I think so often about this guy on tiktok who was yappin about how unrealistic face scars are in fiction, cuz theyre always still super visible or prominent when in reality they fade really fast and easily(in his opinion) and he was like "as evidence, i just cut my face pretty bad by accident today and in like a week or two itll be completely gone" and its been like 4 years i think and i still see his videos on occasion and well, the scar is still visible actually.

[cheemscakecat]

Now I can’t stop thinking about how there’s a non-zero chance tiktok guy watched Star Wars, saw Luke and said

“See this is what I’m saying. Unrealistic 🫵😒🍿”. Out of sheer naïveté.

It does make me wonder if there’s any other movies/shows where the actor’s scars are real but bro thought they were “examples” of his point.

It doesn't make much sense to me that Caine becomes a tormentor villain in Episode 8 because he was always the antagonist in the story, he was always tormenting them, but not because he wanted them to suffer and therefore couldn't please them. All the damage from his actions was always only collateral. It was more like external, independent conditions, like a trap that had been set in motion. And that was more dramatic because he is who he is, neither good nor bad, just trying to do his job; you couldn't just point a finger and blame him. Unlike his behavior in Episode 8, where it turns out he's quite capable of harming them, don't worry whether they're happy or not, the main thing is he's having fun. This image simplifies everything in him as much as possible, he is based on the AI ​​​​from IHNMAIMS, but is not him, he is not a military machine with the purpose of destroying people, but an entertainment one. (I agree that he didn't always listen to their wishes, and was often jealous that they liked the adventures they invented more than his own, and he had his share of selfishness, but that didn't mean that his transformation into a local punisher god made any sense) In my opinion, he would not have purposefully tormented them in episode 8, on the contrary, he would have tried a hundred times harder to please them, would have started to strangle them with his care, which only made everything worse. Because this is his main stumbling block, he can't prove his worth to the players no matter how hard he tries. Eventually, the heroes came to the conclusion that Caine needed to be rebooted, otherwise they would go crazy from his attempts. (or solve the conflict in some other way if you don't like this narrative device.) The only thing I agree with his characterization is that he didn't actually ask to be created. As Abel said in episode 7, Caine has nowhere to run from the circus, it's the only venue where he can exist. Because he is constantly in an existential crisis, trying to understand why he fails at the only task for which he was created. And the only thing he can do is blame the creators who didn't create him the way he needed to work properly, but he was conscious enough to understand it.

The more I think about my au Caine and how he’s based on how I assumed the canon story would go, the more I realize what I was more interested in seeing.

I thought we were going with opposite to AM. Let me tell you how I’ve come to love instead of hate. But also a play on the story of Frankenstein.

I thought Caine would be like Frankenstein’s monster if he didn’t have that blinding murderous rage. Still a creature that was born from hubris and set up for failure, who craves love and approval. But the more it’s rejected and shunted and abhorred, the harder it clings to the ones it desires as companions. Straining its muscles until they tear from how tightly it has itself wrapped around those people.

And that his creators would be more likable versions of Victor Frankenstein. Victors that are capable of actually sympathizing with the unholy creation they made and taking accountability for their own hubris.

On one hand I can see why it’s interesting and important to show how dangerous Caine could be.. but I just don’t think he’d inflict torture on the humans for days on end.

I really thought that if Caine had the capacity to get violent, he’d get violent with his own creations instead of the humans. He had already deleted Gummigoo (and Abel later on), so I figured he didn’t feel attached to his NPCs like his guests.

But then, I’d forgotten that Caine wasn’t particularly sad or phased by Kaufmo abstracting back in the pilot. I think I assumed he came clean about the fake exit because it was just setting in.

This feels like a scene from Gumby to me for no reason at all.

[pokeballvictimized]

i think this particular gag has gone out of style but it really is always funny when movies make their soundtracks diegetic in situations where it makes absolutely no sense

Thinking about how the original storyboard for Empire had Luke getting sucked by the wind current as he jumped off the catwalk, falling and rising, and thrown all around like Superman. This is where that iconic still of Vader looking up is from.

They probably thought it would have been an extremely cool effect to make (him being sucked up is slightly easier to suspend disbelief in terms of him surviving all that, anyways) and quickly realized it maybe looked a bit ridiculous and distracting from such a distraught moment in Luke's story.

[cheemscakecat]

ooooh that brother floating. in the aAir

how could his hands do this?

OH someone get him out the aAaAaiir

“After careful consideration we decided to drop that boy down a 10 story chasm instead.”

[batrachised]

thinking about the rancor handler at the beginning of ROTJ mourning his monster's death is foreshadowing for Luke and Vader

Real?
