It is sad that Caine probably would never know it was never Kinger's intention to delete him.. and Bubble being there in the recycle bin with him would only go so well
Let's normalize kissing the brick, yes?

Could you please do some tiny Caine headcannons? Like if he shrunk himself down how do you think he'd act? (・ω・)
So how we feeling after the last ep? (´∀`*)
I think I’ll try to keep these a bit lighter
˚✧₊⁎Tiny! Caine⁎⁺˳✧༚
Someone PLEASE write this (with permission obviously!) It'd be so cute!
steps to making temu tadc spoilers
step 1: get screenshot of background and have it as a 'source' layer to duplicate from and get a screenshot of post-dead caine circus as a reference
step 2: duplicate source layer and add grayscale (put this layer on top)
step 3: duplicate source layer (put this layer at top) and use eraser lasso to erase anything thats not the characters [this step is not needed if ur planning to edit out the characters and add in ur own stuff from another screenshot]
step 4: lower opacity to make it slightly grayscale of if ur art program doesnt allow, add another layer of low opacity black/dark gray
step 5: add shading on another layer to reflect higher animation quality and add holes in the circus :D
btw if u have kinger, dont forget to give him a bucket dont be afraid to shade using black/gray/white, you want to make the circus feel bleak make good use of any blur tools before:
after:
AU tadc idea:
The cast, after testing glitches they hoped would take them out of the circus after deleting Caine, accidentally trigger another unintentionally and get trapped in Caine's memories (from the very first moment he was created to the present, with unimportant time skips). They can hear his thoughts, feel his feelings, and see from his perspective.
Things they experience from his side are things like: Being created, being continuously and painfully rebooted as he's "made better", the moment he "wakes up", when he discovers want, the first time he hears of bees, the box, the creation of the circus, the first players and the first abstraction, funerals for abstracted players (maybe he even goes to them once everybody's gone and says some things?), his and Bubble's relationship, and what led him to break and finally snap.
What happens next?
Caine with occasional spells of fatigue because he’s an older AI. Can anyone hear me
Favorite Caine fics GO
Blessed with a dream where Caine was Smol and had to draw it
oh my gosh that's so precious!
Need some hurt/comfort Claustrophobic!Caine fics where some situation forces the cast into a confined space and they learn about the box
Wait, do you guys think Glitch chose bees as Caine's obsession because, like them, he's silly/cute/peaceful until provoked, and then you get a world of pain?
Fic where post episode 8 Caine gets added back, powers and all, but there's a twist:
They download a backup from right around when he was first put into the game, so he's basically a toddler with no memories of after. And they need to teach and care for him.
Bonus if there's a virus trying to take over his code at the same time and it's why he snapped in episode 8.
Fic idea where Caine literally breaks his own code (episode 8 didn't happen btw) to try appealing to the humans. This allows for stuff like swearing. Meanwhile, this obviously causes glitches that get progressively worse, even causing some automatic shutdowns for Caine as his code tries to fix itself as he actively stops it (maybe this even makes the filter go back on momentarily and they get upset so he rushes to turn it off again). The whole time this happens, Bubble is acting like how he did during episode 8- first only when with Caine, but eventually even with the players there. When the viruses- that are usually stopped by the firewall- get in because it's now super weak, get so bad he crashes and the circus reverts to a much simpler backup and his model even reverts to the red dot one to save processing power. The cast finally have to admit that something's wrong and they learn to accept their reality as well as the AI.
So, something I have noticed that nobody has mentioned yet(or maybe I missed because well, everyone still going crazy)
I do not think Caine, the Caine we know from the show is just the red dot at the beginning but both the blue and red dot merged into one being, which conflicts with itself constantly when questioned to the point you can see both dot/cores colliding each other. I would even call his two eyes, brains for each of these original AIs.
Within episode 8, Caine sits in a purple chair symbolizing this probable merge that happened with the two AIs, creating Caine as a combined being.
Another thing I would like to point out is the fact Caine's eyes design is very interesting, most of the time they are either cross eyed as well one eye is smaller than the other, which could imply that both AIs experience different point of view of things.
Also, one eye being smaller than the other might be call back that the red dot was smaller than the blue dot.
OKAY ULTIMATE FIC IDEA
IMMEDIATELY after the events of episode 8 of TADC, the world becomes so unstable it literally collapses into itself and the players just plummet through the Void.
Now, that's not very entertaining! So what happens next?
They wake up the day Pomni joined, in that exact moment- except everyone has their memories other than the AIs.
Knowing what they know now and with a bit of information on how Caine thinks, how will they prevent the same events from playing out? Befriending Caine seems to be a pretty good idea- and, the more they get to know him, the more they begin to regret how they treated him and the more Caine tries to genuinely connect back.
What happens next? How do the days change with information of what will- could(?)- be? Will they be able to prevent the collapse of their reality?
Or is history truly doomed to repeat itself?
Just leaving a little star right here ⭐
you can claim it after ep8…
UPDATE: THIS AGED BADLY
Saying this before episode 8 of tadc comes out:
I don't think Bubble will be a virus. Instead, for that scene where he's popping a bunch of Bubbles? I think that he's popping him because Bubble starts saying things Caine doesn't want to hear (like how the cast is always going to hate him, he can't fix what he did, Caine isn't human and only an ai, etc). Maybe this will happen right after him rambling about how he can fix it, just another puzzle he needs to solve. Idk, I just saw that scene and that was the very first thing I thought of- it looked like he was trying to get Bubble to be quiet. But if Bubble is a virus, I've gotta admit, that's some very clever thinking on Glitch's part and puts a whole new light on Caine and Bubble's relationship.
You guys know that comment Caine made about the intelligent ai running so long during the Lightning Round adventures? And how he quite literally fell asleep at one point? Maybe he didn't speed the suggestions up so much just because he didn't make them- maybe he literally was shutting down from how much energy he had to put in each.
So, fic idea: Maybe the normal adventures already took a lot, so the extra work had a big effect and even forced him into sleep mode or a complete reboot, leaving the players to realize that he's already using up as much data (or whatever you want to call it) as he can, and after Bubble pops in and mentions how he's been using more than is safe, they try to do something nice for when he's back- like making him a bee stuffed animal, or even just piling him in blankets in an attempt to keep him comfortable. In this AU they're a bit more on his side, because even if he's not human, he's still a person- even if things like this have to remind them of that.
AU idea for tadc: Caine is connected to the outside world to the extent that the cast will be on an adventure or chilling after and he'll randomly pop up and just start repeating the script of an article or transcript about big news events (Covid, 9/11, Queen Elizabeth's death, ICE, etc)
