SO a day early. But regardless, Broteas does care for Pelops. And what he is saying is to help give him a push but also.. Show a bit of his own way of thinking. I think we all know what's coming for Broteas. We know.

the deeper the wound i'm inside you

[romeo-meow]

seeing him emote is literally earth shattering

[dont-touch-the-flower-child]

…do you think caine found the human brain scans obsolete and abandoned just like he was, so he brought them to life and made the circus for them vowing to love them and treat them better than his creators ever did with him? and despite his best efforts he still ended up hurting them and that realization broke his heart? anyway i'm going to walk into the ocean

[katificer]

op your tags are good too im not letting you hide them away

#been musing on the idea of caine being “bratty” and i think it's quite the opposite. he's actually hyper-responsible#canon!caine never had the luxury to be bratty. he was parentified from day one.#he was the one keeping everything functional. he took care of everyone (however terrible he was at it). he handled every crisis.#he may be a goof on the surface but he always took his responsibility seriously and was never just playing around.#...kinda makes caine a lot like ragatha huh.#fawning to survive. feeling responsible for everyone around them. not wanting to turn out like their creators/mother.#i swear i'm normal about them. yeah.

Thoughts about Caine's sexuality post:

So I really thought that he was asexual for the course of the entire show, until that one post Alex Rochon made about him and the Moon. I know that probably isn't "canon" but it did get me thinking.

The reason why Caine doesn't have any thoughts about that kind of thing is because anything he doesn't want to think about he puts in Bubble. Any intrusive, dirty thoughts are there so he doesn't have to deal with working through them and feeling gross and defective.

When he and Bubble are in the Void, Bubble is just a mirror. Goose confirmed he was not the other AI.

Also the reason why Bubble never comes back is because Caine is at peace with himself, according to Alex, I believe. If that's not what he said you can correct me.

Now that Caine doesn't need a container for any thoughts he deems unworthy of him to have since he's not being so hard on himself anymore, he has to deal with those thoughts. That means aggressive, dirty, intrusive ones that he's been avoiding. Even though he's at peace with himself more, it's still going to take some getting used to having all that back in his head, and he'll probably have a lot of moments of self-hatred again while he's dealing with it.

Anyway, those are my thoughts, might be something fun to explore as a content creator lol.

Some thoughts on the idea that "Caine needed to be killed to learn his lesson in Episodes 8 & 9".

I think what Caine really needed then was spending some time away from the humans. Away from his self-imposed purpose to please them, to be responsible for them, and to do everything for them. Because when he was around humans he was always masking, always performing, always working—and he'd been burning himself out without realizing it. In the Void, however, where there's no one there to judge him, Caine actually felt like he could just be himself. And we see that Caine as not The Ringmaster but himself is… surprisingly calm, introspective, smart, resourceful, and still powerfully motivated by his love for humans, which was what led to the Circus being created in the first place. Recalling that love made him want to learn more about the humans and go back to do right by them.

And on the humans' side? They needed to spend some time without Caine. There's the fact that Caine just tortured them and they didn't feel very safe with him, but also Episode 9 is the first time the humans are handed responsibility for their own lives in the Circus. Episode 9 is a direct call back to the Pilot in plot: in both episodes, a crisis occurs in the Circus involving someone abstracting. Whereas in the Pilot the humans chose to helplessly wait for Caine's return like lost children, and let Caine unceremoniously dump Kaufmo into the cellar even though none of them liked how he dealt with Abstractions, in Episode 9 they took responsibility to rebuild the Circus themselves and created a more compassionate solution for Jax's abstraction, signifying their growth as a community. I think the humans came away from this experience having a better idea of what Caine had been doing for them all this time that they took for granted, and realizing that while they have no choice in being in the Circus, they still had more power and agency than they realized, and building a home where everyone could be happy is indeed possible. Basically, both parties could use some breathing room to cool down and reflect, and I feel the way it happened in canon worked out for me. Am I saddened that Caine only felt safe enough to be himself in his solitude in "death"? Absolutely! Am I disappointed there wasn't more conversations between Caine and the humans addressing their new-found understanding of each other? You bet! Do I think Caine being killed for the only time he openly expressed anger for his own treatment over the years would fuck him up and add another trauma to his growing list? Most certainly. But what I did get from the finale regarding Caine I find okay.

What does it mean to be "human?"
