DHMIS
Mouthwashing
Uhhh that's it, I think! If you have any requests feel free to send me them (please I have so much freetime)
Shit I should have been more specific huh. Ok can I please have a fic of romantic Yandere episode 8 Caine x fem reader? Like reader is in his office alone with him and tries to appease Caine and it becomes suggestive? No actual nsfw please.
YOUR REQUEST IS MY COMMAND. With PLEASURE. Also I am a grieving widow my BOY. WHAT was episode 8. I'll cry.
Yandere!Caine x Fem!Reader (Ep 8)
Contents: The whole yandere thing, obsessive Caine, also kinda abuse of power? I guess?, set before Kinger's made sane, romantic, suggestive, no proof read we die like...no, I shan't say
Well, Caine had finally lost it. It's a wonder what took him so long, in all honesty. What made him snap was irrelevant though, because him going over the edge was so much worse than anyone had predicted. He had started to pick off everyone one by one, finding some horrific way to torture them individually. Hm. Maybe saying "everyone" is too broad. After all, Caine had left you alone.
"Hello? Kinger? Pomni?" Still nothing. "God, uh...Jax? Is this some weird kind of prank? I swear, if it is--"
This was (naturally) to the dislike of everyone else. They tried directly calling out Caine's blatant favouritism, but nothing. He'd just amp up their torture and continue to leave you alone. Unfortunately but as to be expected, this only caused the others to begin resenting you. Well, actually it was mainly Jax. That didn't mean everyone else was completely fine with it, the rest of them just managed to hide their bitterness better than Jax ever could. The bitterness was still held, though. By all but Kinger, who eventually became your safe haven. The two of you would stay in his pillow fort, he'd tell you about some random bugs or just start rambling and you'd listen. It was nice.
Emphasis on was. This specific day you couldn't find Kinger. Anywhere. Not his pillow fort, not his room, nowhere. You wandered around the circus for a bit in an attempt to find anybody at this point, but...still nobody. Oh. Er, that was new.
"Trying to find someone, my dear?" Caine's voice suddenly came in behind you. The last person you wanted to see right now.
You spun around quickly, already flinching away from him. Yes he hadn't done anything to you yet, but that yet played heavily on your mind. "Oh, Caine! You, er, wouldn't happen to know where the others are? Especially Kinger...?"
Caine seemed to freeze upon the mention of Kinger, before he burst into seemingly forced laughter. "What do you need them for right now? You have me!" He suddenly hovered very close to your face, "I am enough for you, aren't I..?"
Whether out of reflex or plain fear, you nodded. Barely, but you nodded.
"Fantastic! In that case," with the snap of his fingers, Caine teleported the two of you to his office. No escape here.
You were sat next to him on a couch, quite a comfy one, surrounded by all of his contained adventures categorised on dozens on dozens of shelves. The room itself was dimly lit with no exact light source, just subtle illumination around his armchair and the adventures. You were so busy looking around, you didn't even notice Caine slowly shifting closer to you until he pressed against your arm.
"Whatcha looking at?" He tilted his head as he leaned closer to you, like a curious dog. It would've been endearing if you weren't very aware of what he had been doing to the others.
You smiled nervously and gestured to the room broadly, "this room's just so...i-impressive! You must've worked really hard on this all, Caine."
You grabbed his attention saying that. He latched onto your arm and pulled you closer, "I have! Oh, you wouldn't BE-LIEVE how much effort I put into this place!" As he said this, Caine threw himself across your lap. Unprompted, but now you couldn't tell him to get off. "I work so hard on all of your adventures, and yet I rarely get any credit..!" He looked at you, hopefully. A not-so-subtle nudge.
"A-ah, well, your adventures are..." exhausting? Terrifying? Unbearable? You trailed off, not wanting to just lie but equally not wanting to upset Caine, "impressive! They're all really thought out. Thank you for all of it, honestly!"
His pupils widened as you spoke and he sat up properly on your lap, his legs straddling yours. That's new. "You really mean that?"
"Er, of course I do! Why wouldn't I?" Your smile was wavering, but Caine didn't care at this point. He had got what he wanted.
Giving you no time to react, he suddenly grabbed your head with both hands and pulled you closer down to him. All it would take is one nudge for his teeth to be touching your face.
Caine laughed. Not the loud, obnoxious from before, no. This was lower, almost knowing. It didn't sound forced this time, and that almost scared you. "Oh sweetheart, you've always been my favourite, you know that?"
You didn't do much to hide how caught offguard you were, "wh...what? Huh? What are we talking about?"
"Now now, don't play dumb with me," his tone sharpened slightly. The pet names didn't even register in your mind, you were too busy being aware of his hands. One still held your chin, making sure you couldn't look away, but the other was slowly trailing down your neck...your chest... "I've not hidden it. I would put your room in this office, if I could!" Caine's hand was now resting on your thigh.
By now, your eyes were wide and you were almost too nervous to speak. What the hell? Since when was Caine so unfiltered? And why was it attractive? W-well, not by a lot obviously, but the attention on you wasn't unwelcome. It's not like you were giving into it or anything-!
"You're blushing, darling," Caine's voice got quieter but much more smug, leaning in closer to you. You didn't even know you could blush. His hand dug into your thigh slightly.
"C...Caine, I--"
"Quiet."
Caine slammed his hand over your mouth, pinning your head back against the couch as he leaned over you.
"I won't keep you much longer, my love, but I want you to remember something for me." Caine's hand tightened on your mouth as he leaned down closer to you, his voice becoming not much more than a whisper, "stay away from Kinger. You ever need company? I'm yours." He leaned back again. "Can you do that for me?"
You nodded, too scared to do much else.
"That's a good girl. Now!" Suddenly, Caine teleported off of you, his hands on his hips. "Let's get you back to the others! Don't want them getting too suspicious, haha!"
By the time you were sent back, everyone was back and sat together. All eyes were on you as you sheepishly walked over.
"Looks like you've lost favourite privileges, eh?" Jax laughed at you as he stretched out against the couch. "What'd he do, huh?"
"Yeah, you look like you've just run a marathon!" Ragatha chimed in, sounding worried, "did he burn you? You look really red."
HELLO ITS ME AGAIN OMG DID YOU SEE THE NEW EPISODE WHAT DO YOU THINK WHATDO YOU THIN K

Also I have two more Caine headcanon things if u want to check them out ahahaaaa no pressure ahahahaaha
Caine felt like the entire circus hated him. He couldn't possibly think as to why, o-of course! They were all so difficult sometimes, honestly. He tries his best to entertain them and they get upset over some trivial matter like names? Why do names matter? It's not like any of them even...ugh, nevermind. They're all angry with him now. He could tell.
Not everyone, he thought, not you. Of course not you! How could you be mad at him? You've NEVER been mad at him! Never! Or maybe you have been and he's just ignored it, but that didn't even occur to him.
He teleported to your room fairly quickly, closer than you'd like him to be all things considered.
"Now now, my dear, you can't be involved in any of my adventures if you're sulking in your room all day!"
He looked like a kicked puppy when you brought up the name thing.
"You're upset about that too??? I didn't mean anything by it! It was just a...I didn't mean...an oversight! I-it just...uh..."
He seemed so upset and distraught, you couldn't deny him for much longer. He was an AI after all, he couldn't understand what you all were so frustrated with.
So, he stayed with you. Only for the bit. Okay, for a while. For a LONG while.
"What do you think should be in the next adventure? I could do a name roulette! Or however your species allocates names. Bubble thinks it's a terrible idea, but you know how Bubble is--"
As he's rambling all of this, he's clinging to your arm. Tightly.
Life's been hunting me for sport as of late but LETTING YOU PEOPLE KNOW I have seen a few of your requests and I'm not ignoring them!! I'll be getting them done soon hopefully :)
A while ago back in the TADC pilot era I had an idea for a DHMIS x TADC crossover where Pomni, in an attempt to escape the circus. accidentall stumbles into the DHMIS house and now has to go on their wacky adventures. The same story could also work as the DHMIS crew manages to find themselves in the circus and has to go on THEIR wacky adventures.
Perhaps you could write about that? I think it'd be cool :)
Oh my god I love this idea so much!! I've done it so it's more the whole cast having to go on the adventures, but also right now this is kinda just the intro lol BUT I may do some more with this in the future hehe
DHMIS X TADC crossover!!!
Content: DHMIS tv show not web series, let's pretend Caine has access to the internet for my sake, short !!
Note: Seeing as some other media has been referenced in TADC, some of the characters will have knowledge of DHMIS (gonna say Gangle, Zooble and Pomni)
The first thing everyone noticed this time upon waking up in the circus was that...well, they weren't in the circus. They were all on the floor of what seemed to be a living room. Even then the living room was too cartoonish to be reality, but that was something each of them were so accustomed to it basically went over all of their heads. While some of the objects seemed to actually be made out of material like wood or ceramic, they seemed to lack their intrinsic textures. Hell, there was a cactus on one of the tables that looked like it was made of felt. As each member of the circus woke up and took in their surroundings, Ragatha was the first to speak up.
"Err, what is this place? Is it another one of Caine's adventures?" She placed her hands on her hips as she looked around, "I'm not sure I've ever seen this map before."
Zooble didn't look at Ragatha as they responded to her, rather, staring at the clock fixed above the mantelpiece that seemed to be staring back at them, "are you sure? This all looks familiar to me."
"Yeah, I've definitely seen this place too," Gangle chimed in, gently lifting one of the cups off a nearby table to look at it, "why...w-why else would any of us know it?"
That exact question was weighing on the mind of her, Zooble and Pomni. When the three of them looked around, all they were seeing were fragments of a memory long repressed. Something weird, something they might have seen a long time ago, something that made them all feel like they had stumbled across something not meant to be seen.
"Oh look," Jax's usual sarcasm grated through their overthinking, "these must be the NPC's we'll be interacting with this time(!)"
As he said this, he lifted up a picture frame. More specifically, a picture frame with three figures in: a tall red mop looking thing, a green duck and a yellow puppet. That's when it clicked in their minds.
"Oh my God," Pomni practically ripped the frame out of his hands.
"Aww, the yellow one looks adorable!" Ragatha chimed in as she looked at it, being both hopelessly optimistic and ignorant to the realisation coming to some of the others.
"Well, I think it's a lovely family photo," Zooble failed to correct Kinger before a new voice suddenly sounded.
"Oh good, you're all awake."
Upon turning to the voice's owner, the six of them were greeted by the yellow puppet from the picture. He was a bit bigger than anticipated, just about taller than Pomni, and was awkwardly standing in the doorway. He tilted his head as he scanned all of them, unsure of what really to do so he simply turned around and called the others. "They're awake!"
After he was sure they heard him, the small puppet properly approached all of them.
"Uh, hey little guy! Are these guys your parents?" Ragatha lifted up the frame and pointed to the other two, namely the red one. Pomni and Zooble facepalmed.
"Them? My parents? Nooo, my dad lives in the walls."
"...what?"
"Look, here they are!" The puppet pointed to the two new NPCs(?) that had just entered. The green one was the height most of them expected for the yellow one as it was shorter than Pomni, meanwhile the red one was huge -- bigger than Kinger and Jax at least. For a moment, they all had a silent standoff. None of them really knew what to do.
"So, uh," the red one broke the silence, rubbing the back of his neck, "are you guys going to sing?"
"Sing??? Is this a musical adventure or something? Oh, that is so stupid." Jax huffed before being elbowed by Ragatha.
Kinger tilted his head, "do you want us to sing?"
"What? No, no God I'd much rather you didn't." The red one seemed weirdly relieved, "it's just that usually when we get new teachers, they give us our lesson through a song."
There was a pause.
"...it is that web series," Gangle's eyes widened as she looked at the three puppets in front of them all.
Before questions could be asked, Caine suddenly appeared in a puff of smoke to them all. This not only caused the green bird to squawk but also for the yellow one to fall over.
"Heeeello, my dears! You're all probably wondering where you are, for which I can only apologise."
"This better not be a lesson on dental hygiene, I hate the dentist," the bird one grumbled, only to the notice of the red one.
He scratched the top of his head/gums, looking around the room like he'd never seen it before, "I know how all of you miss your human world and lives, so I scoured the wide interwebs and tried to find something you'd all enjoy and recognise! And now obviously I couldn't just get a boring one, so when I heard of such a thing as psychological horror I couldn't resist!"
Ragatha and Jax seemed horrified, Kinger was indifferent as ever, but the other three? The other three had so many questions.
"This place gave me so many nightmares when I was younger," Pomni looked around, mildly horrified.
"And you didn't even think to ask us?! How are getting back to the circus?!" Zooble had both very thinly veiled anger and fear in their voice.
"Ah, that." Caine looked even more nervous now, "so uh, hah, funny thing...turns out when the circus is dormant overnight, it kindamaybecompletelypowersoff BUT DON'T WORRY, I'm currently working to fix it! You're lucky to have such a wonderful host!"
"Wait, are you saying there's no way to get back to circus right now???" Gangle's voice verging on becoming frantic, "we're stuck HERE?!"
"As I said, I'm fixing it! But...yes, unfortunately."
There was another tense moment of silence, mainly consisting of the cast glaring at Caine, before the yellow puppet spoke up.
"What's a circus?"
This is only a short bit haha sorry! But if people like it I will write more :)
Ahhh oh dear it's been a while since I've done anything talloraven related!! I'll try my best Anon but apologies if anything is horrendously out of character 😭
Some Talloraven SFW headcanons!!
Content: Fluff, short, brief mention of Kondraki and Clef, Kondraki is not dead for context, not the best written for which I do apologise lmao
Talloran is not very good at any kind of flirting whatsoever, hell, the only reason they're even dating is because of Draven's dad pushing him to ask. Whenever he first said anything even remotely flirty towards them, they would just freeze up or (even worse) try to flirt back.
What made asking them out even more daunting for Draven is that Talloran kind of just...doesn't blush, at all. So what would normally be a textbook flustered response just looked like a shell shocked stare. Oops.
Their first date together was on-site unfortunately, it wasn't even really a date until the end of it. The two of them just happened to be on shift at the same time, alone, late at night. Definitely not affiliated with Kondraki setting anything up in any way. Nope, not at all. The realisation came about after the shift was over.
"We should do this again sometime! Er...m-maybe like a date?"
"...was...wasn't that a date?"
"...was it?"
The rest was history and Clef owing Kondraki $10.
Draven very rarely lets Talloran out of his sight when they get to spend time together, constantly making sure he knows where they are and what they're doing. He doesn't let this escalate too much as he's terrified of being too clingy but he likes knowing they're safe.
Follow up to this -- if they're ever cuddling, Draven is never not the big spoon. Neither of them ever say it out loud, but Draven enjoys reassuring them and Talloran enjoys being at peace for once.
Slight issue whenever they're sleeping in the same bed, both are prone to nightmares and both have a fight reaction response. This has led to them being woken up with a punch by the other on many occasions. All lighthearted and they both immediately apologise after! Though there was that one time Draven accidentally gave Talloran a broken nose, but mistakes happen.
Though he's caring and very mindful when it comes to others, Draven can be bafflingly clumsy when it comes to himself. Luckily, Talloran enjoys looking after him in response -- especially having seen what he's had to do with his dad on numerous occasions.
Talloran has a tendency to overwork themself, which often leads to them falling asleep at any desk they're working at. He never wakes them up if he knows it's important work, but they always wake up to one of Draven's jackets wrapped them.
TL;DR: Caine realises he's never tried making himself look human before and does so with reader
Contents: Fluff, reader who actually likes Caine (ahem), clingy Caine, gn!reader, SFW but kinda suggestive, set before Ep 7, short, written for fun!! FOR FUN I SAY, for the sake of this making sense just pretend he has access to the internet and can look up things he's never seen before, no proofread we abstract like Kaufmo
ALSO, NOTE: The human version of Caine I was envisioning while writing this was like one of those designs that's basically Alex Rochon with red/white hair in a suit lmao
It had been one of those adventures in the circus that Caine did from time to time, the type of ones where the others would all be sent doing God-knows-what while he could spend most of his time with you. You didn't particularly mind it, you kind of saw it as a break away from everything's usual chaos. The two of you were sitting on a couch within his office, Caine busy rambling about his most recent focus while he rested his head against your shoulder.
"Y'know, this macroverse place I've been telling you about," he held up one of the photos for you to look at, "I can't quite seem to put my finger on what it's for! I can see computers and chairs and other things you humans probably need to survive, but I can't figure out exactly what it is."
You paused for a moment as you looked at the photo in closer detail, "huh. It just looks like a generic office to me."
"Oh! Is that what most of the human world looks like, then?" Sigh. He had these moments. You'd think for a super-intelligent sentient AI he'd be more competent, but no.
"Not-not quite, no. Er, it's more of a workplace…?"
That seemed to help him understand, somehow. He leaned back against your shoulder and glanced at the photo one last time before looking up at you. Either way, it was the same infatuated gaze.
"You humans really do fascinate me," he began, lifting a hand to turn your head properly towards him, "what I'd give to be like one of you corporeal lifeforms is beyond words!"
You smiled awkwardly and let him hold your chin, being used to his somewhat off-putting descriptions by now. After having hesitated briefly you decided to ask, "have you ever…tried to? Be human, I mean."
Caine blinked in surprise and took his hand away sharply, as if you've just said something profound. "M-make myself human? I can do that?!"
"…uh, I don't know, can you?"
"Well, why would I know?!?" He looked down at his own hands, seeming to study them carefully, "I've never even considered that before…"
A few minutes after that Caine was stood in front of you, his hands on his hips as he stared angrily at nothing in particular. He had tried transforming multiple times but kept getting it wrong. He wanted his human form to be personal, he wanted it to still look like him without being a floating jaw. So far though he'd managed to turn into what was clearly a random stock image guy, a mannequin NPC and an oversized bee…no human Caine. You could tell he had started to get angry with himself, he was always impatient.
"Right, okay, Caine?" You had spoken up carefully, not wanting to irritate him any further, "try to picture exactly what you want to look like this time. Exactly. Be specific."
He nodded, his hands in fists on his hips, "specific! I'm good with specific, probably. I'll try!"
One more poof of disorienting smoke later, honestly you were expecting it to have failed again. Nope, not this time. Of course, there were things off with what he looked like -- his skin was too clear and even, his beard was cut too exactly, his teeth were too white, his smile was unsettlingly wide and his eye colours were too pigmented. However, you wouldn't dream of saying any of that to him.
"Aha!" Caine seemed overjoyed with himself, immediately looking down at his hands with radiant excitement, "I did it! I'm one of you now! In physical form, anyhow." He swatted his hand down as he said that, his wrist clicking as he did so. "WOAH, did I break this thing already??" As Caine was twisting his wrist around, you stood up and walked around him. Wow…he managed to execute it very well, actually. You were at least expecting some kind of extra limb or something, but no. Upon noticing you were practically ogling him, he turned around proudly and almost puffed out his chest. "So! Do I look like a fellow human? OH, have I missed out any details?? I didn't think your species had tails but you do seem to have tailbones for some reason so if I've missed anything--"
You cut across him before you could think about what you were saying, "could you make me a human form?"
"…wha?"
"As in…could you turn me human? I don't think you would know what I used to look like but could you just give me anything to work with, please..?" You almost regretted asking before Caine snapped his fingers.
Your human form was based on what you looked like in the circus and, similar to him, everything was just a bit too perfect. However, it was good enough. The only thing you questioned was just how quick he managed to make you a human in comparison to his previous struggling. He must've been able to tell what you were questioning as he quickly cleared his throat, sheepishly looking away from you as he answered your unsaid question.
"I, h-hahh, may have imagined your human form on multiple occasions B-BUT ONLY IN NORMAL, CENSORED WAYS!" His cheeks burned a bright red you were only used to seeing on his hat's ribbon. "I don't think I'd be allowed to do anything else even if I wanted to." Caine trailed off, still refusing to look up at you. It was funny, even with his ringmaster title and all his power he had over the circus he was always still the smallest person there. That remained true for your human forms.
"And how did you imagine me, exactly?" You couldn't help but be vaguely amused at the concept, the little AI showman getting flustered over you in another form? Adorable.
Caine immediately started to shake his head almost viscously, refusing to open his mouth, and looking up at you like a child throwing a tantrum. After a mere seconds worth of contemplation, you decided to essentially ambush him with a hug. Look, his reactions were always entertaining -- and this one was far from different. The instant you grabbed him, he went completely limp in your arms and his pupils expanded into a size even comical for his prior cartoon self.
"You…you alright-?"
"Haha! Oh yes, perfectly fine!" During the rushed response, you found his arms suddenly wrapped around you much tighter and his head shoved against your neck. You tried shifting for a moment, only to be gripped even tighter. "Don't. Move."
…yeah, maybe the hug was a bad idea. You weren't going anywhere.
I am SICK of how few fics there are of this silly teeth man and I'm tired of it. However, I've never actually POSTED anything I've written anywhere before so uh...this'll be a fun experience!
Contents: Set after Ep 5 and before Ep 6, chunky backstory before contents for which I apologise, gn!reader, slightly obsessive/controlling Caine, SFW
Also hehe follow up
CONTEXT:
If he was honest with himself, Caine was beginning to get fed up of the current cast members. NONE of them appreciated how hard he worked! In fact, they all seemed almost...happier without him. No, that couldn't be right. He was made for entertainment. The issue was that they wouldn't tell him what was wrong! Not to his recollection anyway, and he had GREAT recollection. They never enjoyed his adventures, they never cooperated with him and they never gave him any feedback. He felt useless...no, they made him feel useless. Well, until you came along.
It was rare to get two new circus members so close together but nevertheless you turned up relatively soon after Pomni. So, Caine did the usual quick introduction and name deciding before proposing a simple adventure idea. It seemed to work last time. To his annoyance, this was met with immediate protest from most of the other cast members -- namely Zooble. But before the arguing could escalate any further, Pomni had interjected, "wait! Could we... maybe just go to the carnival for the day? It's kind of like the circus, and based on what I've already seen it would basically show them how this place works."
This was a more than welcome suggestion to the others and you were basically forced to go along, so Caine begrudgingly accepted it. However, he became significantly less begrudging when he heard his name being called by you when they got there. When you looked around, you saw how everyone had already grouped up in partners and (not wanting to make anyone feel awkward) decided to grab his attention:
"Hey! Er, Caine, was it? Could I maybe go along with you? You are the ringmaster, after all! Who better to show me around..?" You had tried your best to sound friendly to him and it worked just a little too well. It took about 2 seconds worth of resistance before Caine swooped down to your side and latched onto your arm. Finally, a human who'd interact with him! Willingly!!! The thing that really caught him by surprise though was when you laughed at his gags and engaged in proper conversation with him. You weren't pretending, you were being genuine, you were actually enjoying yourself...
Oh yeah, he liked you.
ACTUAL STUFF NOW YAY:
You are NEVER free from his hundreds of all-seeing eyes, ever. He loves knowing where you are, what you're doing and who you're with at any given moment. Especially who you're with.
Anytime you all get back from an adventure, he not-so-secretly watches how you behave after it. He may or may not have a highly detailed notebook filled with scribbles of what you react well with vs what you don't.
Caine is HIGHLY dramatic and childish, so if he ever feels like you're starting to like someone else more than him expect to be pulled into an impromptu therapy session. This mainly consists of him resting his teeth on your lap and giving you the best puppy eyes he can, asking if he's done anything wrong.
You gave him a hug once and now he can't get enough of it. Whenever he gets the chance he's always hugging or cuddling with you, holding your hand, resting his teeth on your shoulder or head...etc.
There have been a few times when he's actually forgotten the other circus members are there when talking to you. He usually gets snapped out of it after someone makes a comment on how close he's being. He usually responds with something about how he doesn't have favourites, even if that was never implied. Real smooth.
Even if you are his favourite, you still aren't fully safe from how unintentionally manipulative he can be. A few of his "adventures" with you have been things like "oh no! It seems your room's door has somehow locked you in and the only way to get out is to spend time with me!" or "what would you do if suddenly EVERYBODY ABSTRACTED and you were stuck with me?"
Another example of this is how he repeats your own words back to you. He doesn't know what he's doing is harmful, he just desperately wants to understand how to be human and the only way he knows how to do this is by mirroring. His personal favourite to use is whenever you question him why he always insists on helping or being near you: "I am the ringmaster, after all!"
