Some sketches where Caine finally gets the comforting physical touch he needs. I haven't thought too much about the context for these sketches, it's probably one of these AU where Caine got retrieved from the recycle bin
(please, please, please, don't tag this as a ship, to me it's purely friendship / found family / platonic🙏)
Under the cut is each sketch separately and some of my thoughts and hurt/comfort headcanons
(I'm trying my best, but there might be some strange worded phrases since English isn't my first language 🥹)
-I have a (a little strange) headcanon that Bubble loves to lick everyone's cheek slike some weird labrador dog. I view him as the embodiment of Caine's repressed, anxious, and OCD-like thoughts, and when Caine's secret desire to be comforted gets overwhelming, Bubble might randomly start licking his face. It leaves Caine completely baffled and Caine finds it a bit gross, but deep down in his digital heart, he secretly loves it. Because somehow, it feels gentle... and comforting...
-It's a sad headcanon, but I've always thought that in many AUs where Caine is restored from the recycle bin, he would have PTSD from being deleted and from the fact that for some time, nobody told him his deletion was accidental. Everyone was just sure Kinger had told him, while Kinger wasn't always lucid and was sure everyone else had told Caine. And when Caine he has strong emotions or anxious thoughts, he might have bad panic attacks, thinking that he was hurting people again and they'll delete him. It's gonna take a while for people to forgive Caine, but nobody wanted to make him feel this way, so when they finally get what's happening, they will try to help him get through his panic attacks
-I like to see Ragatha as an older sister figure, not because it's a mask she wears, but because Ragatha and Caine have similar traumas, she can understand his pain
-I like to think of Gangle and Caine as art friends. Also, I feel like Gangle gives the tightest but softest hugs, the kind of hugs where Caine can just… let go and just be
-Another strange headcanon,but i think a lot about Caine and Zooble's friendship. About how it started with a huge fight over an 'suggestive update,' but then somehow led to a long and sincere conversation about why it was so important to Zooble and why Caine felt so uncomfortable. And somehow it ended with them becoming friends, and Zooble becoming a safe space for Caine to understand and explore the platonic touch he craves. Also, I love the headcanon that Caine likes being scratched under his chin like some kind of cat. I don't know if he purrs, but I think he feels incredibly relaxed
-I think it's hard for Caine to understand complex, contradictory, or overwhelmingly strong emotions, and not just other people's, but his own emotinons too. So I was just imagining a scene where Caine and Kinger (as his father figure), are reading a book about emotions together. Maybe it's a psychology book, or maybe it's one of those children's books that explains feeling in away a child can easily understand
Some Bubble=Abel stuff I started drawing before Episode 9 came out. Back when I thought Bubble would be the blue one. Guess I have to call this an AU now..?
…Or maybe this is just an excuse to draw Bubble with nothing more than eight arms, because while Caine made himself a human-like avatar to seem more approachable to the humans, Bubble doesn’t care about such trivial things. If he needs hands, there will only be hands. Why waste data making a useless body
It's no secret how much I love TADC and the Backrooms movie, I think my friends are already tired of hearing about it. I had a chance to see both movies one after another two days in a row in the cinema haha
I feel like both films touch upon very similar topics 💛
