my 'The Amazing Digital Circus' ideas in general & theories for episode 8/9: 🐄🚬

1. If you ever take a look at the background at times, there are certain scenes /w teapots & paintings of teapots- i think this was done on purpose to foreshadow episode 8 or 9.
This is backed up by Caine's erratic listing of random things to Pomni in episode 1. Some people speculate that each word [sometimes two] corralated to each episode of tadc released so far and the two left to come [e.g.: "horror" ☞ episode 3].
The last thing Caine listed in his line of dialogue was "angel food cake" as he pulled the full cake out of nowhere and Bubble instantly ate whole [love Bubble].
I think there will be a tea party in episode 8 or episode 9 [maybe with some angel food cake].
2. By the by, aside from 'I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream', i think another one of Gooseworx inspos for tadc was 'The House of Leaves' e.g. Pomni venturing through endless corridors of exit doors in episode 1 while gradually going insane as well as the show's general nods to the liminal space aesthetic at times [e.g. the weirdcore ahh circus].
Either this, or i just found a random reference to the book that Gooseworx placed in episode 7: the staircase that leads the gang deeper into Caine's office 🛹💥🐒
im not too big of a fan of tadc, i personally think it could have been even more terrifying 🤷♂️ idk i think its just how cutesy everything is
but, let me tell you guys, i was *frothing* at the mouth /w episode 7 chat, even i cannot deny that-
from Jax's analogue horror experience & DMT trip, to the twist we [probably] all saw coming, and with kawaii Kinger-san [who may or may not have commited some warcrimes before becoming a Caine-afflicted amnesiac] just being the best character in the entirety of the show- along with Bubble of course- it was just peak cinema
i hope it gets better and better as it goes, tadc gave me high hopes with episode 3's body horror and episode 7's psychological horror, i'll tell you that
i am an absolute sucker for tadc theories- i'm on that shit 24/7- brain scan soma theories, Bubble being Able or Kinger being Able, Gangle being a past C&A employee and knows the way out or is at least getting there- here me out guys- these youtube theorists are cooking with these ideas ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
i'm feeling maybe Kinger is Able since everybody forgets their name once they enter the digital circus so it makes sence that he didn't know who Able was when Z & G let him know what they were planning in his dark pillow fort in episode 7- he was thinking clearly then. 🤷♂️
But Kinger's mind is pretty broken so it would make sence for him to have been brainwashedby Caine to forget important info, such as Able and what he did/was, and it ended up to just be a coincidence Goose embeded there to lead the audience on. 👑 🐂
But it would make quite a lot sence aswell if Bubble was the real Able and is secretly helping out the gang [🦐 -> 🍤, Shrimp Town] because Caine's an AI, Caine & Able- just feels like both the names are titles of the AIs used to bring the Circus to life- not one AI and a human.
i hope the best for Caine, my sweet, wired baby boy- couldn't believe how 'Able' kept highlighting Caine's suffering as a machine in the chinese room and nobody showed the least amount of sympathy- like bro, i would be fed up /w the crew too if they treated me like that💀, just couldn't handle themselves for a few seconds start of ep 6 🙏🐒
to be honest, i think Caine just really wanted to figure out if the crew actually liked him or cared about him at all with that whole episode 8 adventure
long story short, Gooseworx better have something truely horrific cooking up, from IHNMAIMS being its main insperation, on golly
good night to all, my little catiwompus cucumbers ⛹⛹💨💥
