Welcome to my masterpost for my new comic series, the Post Abstraction AU! A self-indulgent AU where new characters are brought into the circus after the events of the finale.
How did Jax react to her female design for the first time?
This is definitely a topic I want to explore in more detail in the actual AU, but I think something similar to having a silent moment just staring at herself in the mirror, then being caught out and saying some dumb joke out loud while inwardly feeling very euphoric and finally at home with herself...
Can you do a character lineup for your TADC post-abstraction AU
Of course! I sketched these out real quick, along with some further info, still keeping some stuff close to the chest because... well... spoilers, but here we go!
Spoilers for TADC Ep 9 up ahead!
This comic is Firmly set after The Last Act, literally everything from it's inception was inspired by the finale. Everything that happened in the show is canon here, keep that in mind!
Introducing...
Ragatha and Pomni! (Ft some notes from Caine)
My designs are pretty close to canon, mainly because I really like their simplistic canon designs and I don't really have any cool ideas that are gonna completely shake the floor in terms of design. After Caine comes back and the circus gets on the ground running, everyone slowly heals from their wounds, becoming more well-rounded versions of themselves. Not perfect, of course, but at least working on their flaws in a healthy way.
Kinger and Queenie!
Yes, I un-deaded the dead wife. Sue me. Due to Some Event, as you might be able to guess from the name, Caine and the others discovered that (Some) Abstractions were reversible. Why not all? Well... Because they don't even have speaking lines for me to characterise them by. But lore-wise? Perhaps there's another reason...
Zooble and Gangle!
For these two, I wanted them to embrace their truest selves, meaning more change-up fuckery for Zooble. And less happy mask for Gangle. At least in my interpretation, the mask is less one of her true emotions and more like a literal mask that hides her true feelings away, so she doesn't really Need that anymore because she's happy the way she is. Also Abstragedy is canon. Does that need to be said?
I'll call these three the Chocolate Trio. Jax, Ribbit, and Kaufmo!
Once again, these three were healed from abstraction. Ribbit and Kaufmo came back pretty much the same, but due to a heavy disconnect with the original form, some minor edits were made to Jax's model! I subscribe to the Transfemme Jax theory like crazy especially after that finale, so in my AU Jax is She/Her. I kept the name because it feels very androgenous for me and it's not exactly deadnaming because... Her real self is still out there with the birth name so... (I also just like the name)
And then finally we have... Uh... Well Caine forgot to draw himself (he's still learning to include himself after giving over control to everyone else) But I don't know who this weird dinosaur is? That's so strange, maybe we'll learn more about them as we go along ooOoOoOoo~
Anyways sorry for rambling I think this is the first time Ever someone has been interested in one of my projects so hopefully this all makes sense!
Welcome to a new comic series I'll occasionally post whenever I feel like! Just like the show it's inspired by, we're jumping straight into the action, and you'll get information on how and What is going on later!
Sidenote- I'll never complain about how long comics take to upload ever again bro
