Who does Bonnie vibe with in the beginning?

This is, of course, after a few weeks of being in the circus. Before this, she was just either neutral or outwardly hostile to anyone that approached her. Although she warmed up to ragatha the quickest, followed closely by konger and ribbit.

Out of everyone, she has never growled at ribbit once during her time in the circus.

[fenekafox]

I've decided Bonnie does keep ribbit from abstracting. Unfortunately, kaufmo might still abstract. Ribbit does try to help him from going insane but he does really lose himself trying to find that exit. But idk might change this later-

Typical conversation between Jax and Bonnie.

Tried to emulate the amazing digital circus 2D style to make Bonnabell's door display. I don't think I got it exactly, but an attempt was made, and also, because it's the 2D style, I simplified/changed certain details that feel more show accurate.

TADC x Infinity Train AU

[Lore under the cut]

Digital Therapy Circus Train!

The Train/Setting

•Just like Caine’s adventures, the cars aren’t circus-themed. It’s more a theme surrounding the outside and the engine.

•This is a digital/magic(?) hybrid, the same way the train in canon seems to be combining machinery and magic(?).

•Passengers do not lose their names, but they are given an avatar along with a number upon boarding. (I don’t have a good reason for passengers to be wearing normal clothes over their avatars, it’s just something I wanted.)

•This AU could’ve been an everybody thing, and there’s a lot of potential for it, but I like making things about showtime Caine.

• (To be clear, this isn’t a “showtime AU,” I just like adding hints of it everywhere. Romantic and platonic content can be made with this AU, it’s subject to my whims at any given time.)

C.A.I.N.E

• Caine is in One-One’s role

• He does have a back and forth “glad” and “sad” side, as shown above. (Inspired by Caine’s fight with himself in the void from episode 9.)

• Bereft of his former power (hence the outfit), abandoned far back in the train, and amnesia’d. He does not remember what his function is, nor what happened to him.

• He’d like to remember his purpose, and he finds his buried programming is giving him the desire to help Abigail. With that as his first clue in a while, he continues to assist her, hoping to come closer in remembering his place on the train.

• The “unfinished” car does bring up some of his forgotten feelings, both about himself, and what happened to him.

• ”MISS ABIGAIL” <3

Pomni Abigail

• Kind’ve in Tulip’s role, but more her own thing. (She’s still 25 btw, not Tulip’s age.)

• I don’t have a range for her number, probably not too high.

• Her outfit design was a whim. I did think it would be fun to put her in slightly watered-down versions of her jester outfit colors, and it is. What’s the deal with the pants chain and the moon and star charms on it? Just fun. I wanted to evoke Caine’s office doors. (She’s already got the red and blue thing, I’m allowed to take even more liberties.)

• We genuinely know nothing about Pomni, so thinking of a flaw or trauma that would be her ticket to the therapy-train has been a struggle. Now the series doesn’t act like this is a flaw, but she was fatally sympathetic to Jax to the point of being enabling, so maybe that can be her train problem? Reminds me of Jesse.

(I’m not saying she knew Jax outside of the train, or that she will even meet him; just the idea that she’s been in, and mishandled, similar scenarios.)

Gumigoo

• He’s not royalty, but I thought he’d be good in place of Atticus. We need him for that humanizing of denizens/NPCs aspect.

• He may be turned into a monster later, but this is still a far better timeline for him than in canon. Friends? A real mother? Not dying?? What more could he ask for!

• He’s also free from the identity crisis here, there’s not really a catalyst for it.

• Joined the party to take down Bubble the steward.

Who is in Amelia’s place as the false conductor/ringmaster? I’m thinking Queenie/Destiny.

I know the turtle theme was supposed to be random, but I love the idea that Queenie’s attempts would keep accidentally making bug denizens.

This also means dead Grant, oops :(

Anyway Jax and Simon are super similar, especially in their respective approaches to the strange worlds they’ve been thrown into. I’m not saying I’ll make any content of him, but Jax gets a Simon ending. I consider this an episode 9 fix-it.

Bonus Caine thoughts: since the train exists to help people; Caine, even if he can’t help in the way he’s meant to, is compelled by that need, to help the passengers. (Abigail is the first he’s come across since being usurped and abandoned.)

As conductor/ringmaster, his role would’ve been making endless new train cars all day. (I’d say it’s similar enough to Caine’s adventure-making in canon.)

The act of helping a passenger jogs something in his memory, it at least brings up a feeling, but he’d only get small hints of the creation/creativity side of his purpose. Until getting back in power, the unfinished car incident is probably the closest he’d get to actually remembering.

I’ll have to design his combo conductor/ringmaster outfit. I imagine that once he re-interfaces with the engine and gets his power back, he’d get a magical little outfit transformation scene.

KICK THE CAN!

Let’s play the biggest game of kick the can on the internet.

To kick the can, reblog it. I wanna see how long this can go on for.

[visibun]

[drtanner]

And yet somehow this is my first time kicking it!

Silly showtime beam GO!!!

[fenekafox]

Silly sketch of Bonnie's warm welcome to the Circus

Everything is bright as hell you can't get the weird headset off and then some weird creature shows up screaming in your ears and so the only thing that seems right is to go into a blind rage until everything just chills for a minute.

Caine was unharmed in all of this. If anything, he was just incredibly baffled.

This would also not be the last time Bonnie's interactions with Caine resulted in her biting him like rubberhose chew toy.

Congrats to the Lord of Screens!
