Lazuli's List of Caine TADC Character Analysis Ramble Essays
Because I love Caine and I love infodumping and I love infodumping to an Audience.
(why yes I do in fact relate to Caine a lot, thanks for asking)
Most of these were written pre episode 7, with the earliest one being post episode 3.
Links under Cut (Waring: Longpost)
Back after episode 3, I talk about how Caine sucks as a caretaker but is actually really, really good at what he was actually *made* to do

POST EPISODE 7 RAMBLES (Beware Spoilers Ye who Enter Here)
TADC Episode 7 was Caine’s Character Episode

Caine’s behaviour in episode 7 was unsurprising to me (and I get a bit personal)

These next Links follow long reblogs involving Caine-centric discussions other people were having and me adding my 2 cents:

Look, I think he genuinely does not understand just how BAD what he did was. Despite understanding that the Humans wanted the exit very, very badly. https://www.tumblr.com/lazuli-starlight/805073951576539136/hi-caine-apologist-rambler-here-hope-you-dont?source=share
Stuff I said in Posts thats were Short Enough that I thought it would be more efficient to simply Copy-Paste What I said to here directly:
Caine is 100% a perfectionist. But I think it might at least partially stem from the lack of direct positive feedback he has received.
(He is not beating the AuDHD allegations any time soon he just like me foreal)
... Caine is a Darkner of a Video Game, and the circus guests are trapped in his Dark World.
Basically Caine is a Tenna with even less understanding of People, who got his wish of his watchers staying forever. In the most monkeys paw manner possible.
I'm such a Caine fan that sometimes I forget that hes not popular with the fandom at large.
I then had something of a realization. I think a lot of people don't like Caine because of how little he understands people, and how he behaves as a result. Whereas I like Caine because of how little he understands people, and I find the resulting behavior endearing for the most part.
TLDR I like the Funny Teeth Man and Think About Him A Lot
