A/n : Been feeling very Tadc pilled since the finale, writing this has been on my mind all week too ^-^ Also Pomni’s part is pretty buns sorry her character is so different between episodes she confuses me a bit but ill work on it 😭
Tws : Mentions of body dysmorphia in Zooble’s part
Pomni
• Pomni is a very forward person, she still hesitates but it doesn’t take much for her to speak her mind. If something’s ever bothering you or her or if there’s anything she wants to talk about she’ll speak her mind! — This also leads me to believe that she’d be the most likely to ask you out first (or at least initiate something) out of the whole cast
• Shes very easy to connect with too, always happy to brighten the mood while also being realistic in more serious moments
• Shes very understanding as well, and will always try to see things for your perspective and change small things to fit your taste more
• Pomni’s love language is words of affirmation, she’ll encourage you to follow your hopes and dreams and will always be happy to support you
• If you’re ever upset she’d be pretty understanding, giving you space if needed. But she may push more to talk if she feels guilt about why you’re upset or is worried about you potentially abstracting
Jax
(I have a love-hate relationship with this guy/girl)
• You’d definitely have to be the one to initiate ANY sort of genuine/positive affection. It’ll take you a long time to get past his mean exterior but after time he can’t help but question your persistence. Even once you too become a couple he’ll always wonder, why him? He’s built up his whole personality on being an asshole, who would want to date someone like him? (A simp, aka you 🫵)
• In public he wouldn’t act much different, he’d rarely bring up your relationship himself and whenever he does speak about it he usually speaks of your relationship as if he doesn’t take it seriously, like he’s only with you for the fun of it
• But in private he’s a lot more personal and quiet, dont get me wrong he’ll still drop a few jokes if he wants to lighten the mood or if he starts feeling sensitive. Most of your real relationship happens behind the scenes, more calm & alone moments is where you both really connect
• His love language is quality time + acts of service, quality time because of those quiet moments where you see the real Jax/the Jax you fell in love with, where he’ll listen to you and will offer his opinion on your thoughts. And acts of service because out of everyone he’ll listen to you, you tell him to stop picking on Gangle? Fine, he was getting bored anyway. Want him to start taking the adventure seriously? Well it helps the time go by faster anyway
Ragatha
• Pre-relationship you guys would probably be really close, this time is most likely when Ragatha would realise she has a crush on you (Either that or its a love at first sight scenario) Shes pretty insecure and is a big people pleaser and she wouldn’t want to ruin the friendship you guys have by asking you out, so if you want to get together you’ll probably have to take the lead at the start
• Once you’re dating shes always checking up on you, making sure you’re doing okay with the current adventure and just making sure you’re holding up okay in general. She’s already lost so many people to abstraction she couldn’t cope with losing the one person who understands her (Well maybe Kinger too-)
• You’ll have to reassure her that you’re happy with her and the relationships is helping you a lot more. She’d be the type to really appreciate your honesty as well so you comforting her and communicating with her will mean the world to her
• You two usually hang out after an adventure in one of you guys rooms, there she’ll vent her frustrations about Jax, explain her worries for Pomni, etc. From time to time she’ll talk about her real life too, sometimes its happy stuff! Like her horses that she loves and her farm, other stuff not as happy, like her mother and her distaste for her real estate job
• Ragatha’s love language is words of affirmation, like I said before she’s always there to check up on you and is more than happy to let you vent to her. In fact that actually calms her knowing that you’re not keeping your emotions bottled up :)
Gangle
• Gangle is very shy and timid (no thanks to Jax) but is very sweet once you get to know her! At first she’s obviously a bit wary of you but quickly starts getting comfortable with you and starts to hang out with you more. I feel like it would take awhile but she would eventually work up the courage to ask you out
• In a relationship Gangle is pretty silent but still offers support, she’ll always be by your side silently offering comfort. She’ll probably take your hand in more serious moments as a way to calm both you and herself down.
• She isn’t the biggest fan of pda (other than simple things like hand-holding) not because of you, she just gets embarrassed easily. But in private when nobodies around/in her or your’s room she tends to speak her mind a lot more, usually about more happy things. She doesn’t like being around many people much due to her shyness so being alone or being with someone she trusts is kinda like her sacred time, she only wants to focus on happy things during that time
• But from time to time she’ll vent to you, usually about Jax. But sometimes more personal frustrations, like is she doing enough? Do you really believe she’ll be able to stay in the circus without abstracting?
• Gangle’s love language is gift-giving, specifically drawings. As you know Gangle loves to draw, and as her partner you’ll obviously support her hobby. She’ll take note of random things you like and draw them. She’s grateful for someone she’s so close to is interested in a hobby she doesn’t speak of much. Sometimes she’ll secretly doodle you in a hidden sketchbook but will never show you, like I said she does a lot of silent affection 🤭
Zooble
• Zooble can seem blunt on the surface but it doesn’t take much to see that they’re actually a very kind person, their bluntness stems from them wanting to be realistic with the situation they’re in. What draws them to you is your similar coping mechanism, just dont take things too seriously and try your best. It would take Zooble awhile to realise they have feelings for you (Not nearly as long as Jax though) but once they accept their own feelings it doesn’t take them long to ask you out. Its not as if they waited to build confidence they were just waiting for the right moment which admittedly is very sweet ^-^
• If I were to describe Zooble in a relationship with one word it would be loyalty. Whenever they’d try to skip Caine’s adventures most of the time they’ll bring you to skip with them if you like.
• Whenever theres an occasion where they’re on an adventure against their will you’ll definitely be able to tell that they’re more irritated and less willing to put up with Jax than usual but all it takes is a few attempts from you to cheer them up to get them to calm down and try to make the best of it.
• When alone Zooble would 100% be the BEST advice giver, of course they’d try to voice their words a bit lighter if you needed help for something distressing but would still be realistic and offer what they think is best to do while putting a hand (or claw? idk 😭) on your shoulder to provide any needed comfort
• They’d occasionally bring up their dysphoria to you if they were worried for themselves and realised it wasn’t healthy to keep absolutely everything bottled up, plus they recognise that in a relationship they’ll have to open up as well. The most they’ll tell you about their dysphoria is random and small tidbits, not wanting to load a lot onto you. Usually something like “it feels like ill never be happy with myself” while not going into much detail, but slowly with your help they’ll start to feel at least a little better about themselves :)
• Zooble’s love language is acts of service + gift giving, Zooble will always be around if you ever need a helping hand or if you want to get away from Caine (Proud Zooble moment there) or any of the other cast members, they got you. Zooble will also gladly lend you one of their spare parts in their room if you ever need a random tool, it also helps them mentally knowing they’re being useful
Kinger
• I feel like if you two were in a relationship it wouldn’t be really outwardly stated, but you can tell you’re closer to him compared to the rest of the cast. Even if at times you yourself can’t understand him you know that he cares for you subconsciously in a way thats more than just friends
• You’d notice small yet random things he does with you that he doesn’t do with anyone else, like inviting you into his pillow-fort or talking to you more (Even if you can barely make out the context of your conversations) Usually your conversations start out as something relatively normal but the topic changes so quickly with him it immediately turns more into the class Kinger shenanigans
• You might not understand exactly what he’s saying but strangely he gives such comforting advice that you cant tell if he’s doing it on purpose or not. Like if Caine is ever bothering you he might sound crazy but he’ll say something like “Well you can’t expect an ai to make a perfect chocolate cake” which sounds odd but subtly remind you that Caines just an ai, your actions probably confuse him just as much as his confuse you!
• Kinger’s love language is 100% quality time (maybe words of affirmation too but im not as sure) he might not remember or know everything about you, but you can tell he cares, not true his words but his subtle actions like I mentioned before. Maybe one day you can understand it, but for now you’re in the dark a bit (Get it?)
Caine
• He would be pretty friendly with you right off the bat in his normal Caine fashion. He would only start to get more attached to you if you immediately reciprocated his affection since literally none of the cast does. He is an ai so he would struggle to tell the difference between platonic affection and romantic affection so if you wanted to ask him out you would have to spell it out for him, no matter how much flirting you do he’ll never pick up on your hints. Once you two are in a relationship you’d probably have to explain what that is too
• It wouldn’t be super obvious but he’d definitely give you special treatment, he’ll always go to you first if you have a suggestion for an adventure or if he wanted to do an adventure specifically for you.
• If something were ever to upset you he would get rid of it with a snap of his fingers, “If you aren’t enjoying yourself then the rest of of the cast mustn’t be either” or at least thats what he tells himself. He doesn’t realise how much of an effect you have on him. Something “upsetting” you can really mean a lot of things, a lot of the time its just something you paid no mind to. Not for any bad reason you just assumed it wasn’t anything that would take your attention. Sometimes you could walk by an npc in an adventure, not doing anything with it and Caine would shout a quick “Oh deary me-!” and snap the npc out of existence (Sorry buddy)
• Caine’s love language is words of affirmation and gift giving, he’ll always compliment you for the simplest things, heck you could pick up a fork and he would say the way you hold it changed his life. And if theres a specific thing you’d like, whether an adventure or a random item he’ll be more than happy to help you “Its my pleasure!” he’d say, which for him it really is. Knowing that he’s fulfilling his duty as an ai is accomplishing for him
Kaufmo
• Kaufmo is very easy to get along with, definitely the chillest character in all of Tadc. He also seems quick to help a new member which would make you make you two pretty close pretty quickly. I feel like he would develop feelings quickly but would take a really long time to confess, he’d definitely get embarrassed easily. So you would probably ask him out in the meantime even though at that point its probably been on his mind for a long time
• If an adventure ever required a team of two you’d definitely be his first choice, so don’t break his heart and go with him. He’d definitely get slightly insecure and jealous at times, not hugely but back then it seems everyone in the circus was pretty close so its natural for him to feel a bit jealous, although the feeling usually leaves quickly and if not Kaufmo is a pretty sound guy so he’ll talk to you about it
• If you were ever upset or you two got in a fight he would definitely distance himself for awhile unless he was worried about your potential abstraction or if you reached out to him yourself. He knows its important to give you some alone time but would still frequently check up on you without you seeing
• Kaufmo’s love language is acts of service, he’ll always be there if you need to talk and he’ll always make time for you. And while he loves having fun with anyone he especially loves having a fun time with you + loves making happy memories with you!!
Ribbit
• Similar to Kaufmo Ribbit seems to be pretty straightforward when helping new members in the circus, although I feel she would give more space at the start than Kaufmo. Not as in a way from distancing herself though, if you start talking to her she’ll be happy to have a conversation with you. She would probably develop a crush on someone quickly enough (not as quick as Kaufmo) and she would definitely leave A LOT of hints, if you picked up on those hints and reciprocated them then she’d ask you out. Very smart girl
• Ribbit would do a lot of pda (if you were comfortable with it of course) she loves to show you off and loves showing you how much she appreciates you. In my opinion shes the greenest flag in the circus, always trying to put a smile on your face in a lot of different ways but can tell if its not the time and can comfort you in a more appropriate way for the moment
• If you two were ever in a fight she’d leave you alone for a crisp 5 minutes before trying to talk to you again, she wouldn’t immediately bring up your fight but she’d want to get on speaking terms with you first so you’re less likely to start a second argument
• Ribbit’s love language is words of affirmation, its her favourite way to display her affection towards you and she absolutely adores talking to you in her room after adventures. Usually there you’d speak about all the funny parts of the adventure you two had a few moments ago, laughing and having fun together. She’d also be happy for you to open up to her about anything at all, and she’ll feel comfortable to speak about her parents/home life to you during those times as well. But she’ll never push your boundaries!

How I feel talking to those who missed the obvious transfem coding of Jax:
LIKE… HELLO???
NOTE: THE PHOTOS OF THE MOVIE SCENE WERE NOT TAKEN BY ME! I FOUND THEM IN A DISCORD SERVER OF PEOPLE CHATTING ABOUT THE MOVIE
-the whole scene with Ribbit putting a bow on Jax’s head and saying “your secret is safe with me” after she vented all her problems. (This is like the most obvious reveal)
-Jax said her mother laughed in her face when she revealed something “personal”, which caused an argument. (Then with Ribbit putting the bow on Jax’s head after this was told, hints that the personal thing was her being transfem)
-Gooseworx is trans herself, and has stated that Jax isn’t just her favorite character, but a self insert character, and one she projects her own inner “demons” onto.
-goose states that Jax mainly bullies girls because “He has issues he hasn't worked out with himself yet.”
-Jax was originally designed to be a girl.
-Goose has posted drawings of Jax as a woman
-Jax’s character design is made with pinks and purples which are often feminine colors
-Jax has an overly feminine room he hides from everyone else
-When entering the circus, Jax chose her own name, which choosing/changing your name can be a trans thing
-Jax’s pressure to be super masculine was forced on her by her parents. Her dad who left her, and her abusive mom who wanted Jax to be more like her dad.
-Jax says “My ears and tail are kind of the pinnacle of masculinity.” And then his tail is gone, symbolizing his loss of masculinity or struggle with it.
-goose has drawn Jax saying “I READ SOMEWHERE THAT TAKING PROGESTERONE MAKES YOU BETTER AT GAMBLING” (which is a drug for mtf transition)
-goose has stated that Jax was extremely upset about the maid dress because “He wasn't ready to ask these questions about himself.”
