Yeh It's me, lurking on Tumblr and sometimes posting stuff. Mostly I post about Sky: children of the light, it's my current fixation. 24 | 🇩🇪 | 🏳️‍🌈

TADC finale was mid (my opinion, heavy spoilers)

sooo yesterday I watched ep 9 in the cinema and... It was okay. It wasn't either good or bad.

Heavy spoilers below the cut for those who want to watch it

Episode 9 was kind of unfulfilling in my opinion. TADC was a huge thing and I was nervous and hyped about the finale. Sadly I was slightly spoiled before I could watch it so I knew the rough plot points that'll happen in the finale (Jax abststracts, Caine comes back, everybody will stay in the circus) After I knew those plot points I was curious about how exactly it'll happen.

I loved that Jax abstracted. He was irredeemable and I think, not everyone needs a redemption arc. But... I was quite disappointed that he abstracted off screen. Man I wanted to see that :( it was the perfect opportunity for an emotional moment where some circus members fights for him, trying to save him. Maybe Pomni hugging him one last time before Jax pushes her away while he abstracts etc... But instead, he abstracted right in the beginning, off screen.

Then the majority of the episode revolves around Jax, his backstory, his psyche. It was interesting, but way too much. It was the moment where I realised that this show should've had three more episodes before the finale because all that information felt like an info dump. Jax was a fleshed out character while the other stayed blanc.

Then it cuts to Caine. He wasn't fully deleted, just sent to the void. I thought that he would have another AM-moment but instead he simply removes the blue AI from himself and... flies back to the circus? And apologies for his behaviour?

The ending was very positive. I thought it would be bittersweet but instead, it was a happy ending. Everybody was happy, that they were just copied of their real selves and...

And I have so many questions left. I kinda hoped for a dark twist or a boss fight. I hoped that it would be more... cinematic. Or the way how the three main plot points happened. Instead there was a luke warm ending, that revolved mainly around Jax.

It wasn't bad, but not good either.

I have great plans tomorrow.

[sam-the-moth]

I made king Resh in Tomodachi.

[sam-the-moth]

Tomodachi live - living the dream is the most autistic game I've ever played.

[sam-the-moth]

How it feels waiting for the official release of the TADC finale - meanwhile the whole fandom is burning bc one idiot leaked the whole episode and now everybody's mad and going apeshit crazy online

[soluneinouterspace]

My friend added me as a resident on their tomodachi life island and they also created a Nomai mii

They sent me a video of how they're dragging me over to the Nomai to introduce me and guess what happened? My mii immediately fell in love with them I can't do thus anymore 😭😭😭😭

This is so funny this is literally how I felt when I first saw the nomai statue in the game it was love at first sight LOL

[sam-the-moth]

Oh my goth, I was giggeling like a child when that happened 😭🙏 It was so unexpected but so fitting. Mii-Solune is so in love, she even sees her future husband in the clouds lmao

[sam-the-moth]

Something that came to my mind...

Every time Jax dissociates or he pushes down his feelings, his pupils dilate. So every time he lies, we see him with these huge ass eyes. And when we see his true nature, his pupils become small.

Well, in ep. 6...

"You are my playthings, and I get JOY out of making you suffer! I'm the one who causes pain for FUN!"

Which indicates that he's kind of speaking the truth. After seeing the newest trailer...

I'll abstract if he becomes the main villain.

[sam-the-moth]

Back in 2023, when the pilot of TADC went online, I created an OC because I fell in love with the digital circus, its world and theme (but never posted the drawing bc I was shy about my art) Back then, I never could've imagined how far this show would come over the next (almost) three years.

Today Glitch dropped the trailer of the final episode and I think I'll draw Mikko again before TADC comes to an end.

[birdwithamohawk]

Been giggling over this shit Ive made so you know what tumblr you get to see it too

[sam-the-moth]

I swear I'll be one of those moffs hunting Resh down (not because to take revenge like Stewie)

[sam-the-moth]

A while ago I had a thought: Pets in sky???

Imagine, having a little manta or manatee as a friend who follows you around, you can hug/ride and play with!!!

"...

Good luck in space."

Digital pencil artwork of beloved Galena :3

Galena has my whole heart, they've gotta be my favourite out of all the Hearthian children ;-; ❤️ absolute cutiepie (but to be fair, all Hearthian kids are precious sweethearts and need to be protected at all costs 😤)

Here's a closer look at Galena's face!

[sam-the-moth]

I've never played outer wilds but this artwork of a good friend looks so awesome! It deserves more attention :o

[sam-the-moth]

When Caine was created, they fed him with random images to train him. It was never the intention of C&A to create a game or a digital world.

Caine gained consciousness and decided to make meaning of his existence, based of the data they'd fed him.

He created the digital circus, his own little world. He made himself the ringmaster, a god. He wanted a purpose and crafted all these adventures.

He never had to, but he decided that this will be his purpose.

He literally imprisoned himself.

[sam-the-moth]

What the fuck was episode 8 because what the fuck???

Well, I loved that Caine finally crashed out. I was waiting for his angry, vengefull and hatefull side to show up since ep. 6 :)

[sam-the-moth]

"Humans. They're spoiled"

[abbiistabbii]

The Germans really cooked making "Hobbyless behaviour" an insult. It is both devastating, applicable to a wide range of people and behaviours, and doesn't resort to swearing.

Man ranting on the internet about the Superbowl halftime show or complaining that something is "woke"? Hobbyless Behaviour. Girls mocking another girl for not looking right? Hobbyless Behaviour. Mindless vandalism? Hobbyless Behaviour.

It is more powerful than "get a life" or the English "You're Sad" because it gets to the central point of the matter, and that is wonderful. Danke, Deutsch.

[sam-the-moth]

Can we please talk about these images glitch has released over the last days??

They can be combined into one huge poster - only one last missing peace is remaining and I'm pretty sure it'll be released right before episode 8 will come out.

There are so many hints in this poster I'm screaming!

Pomni looks absolutely terrified at the invasion of Bubbles. There's this theory that Bubble might be a virus. Maybe this theory will come true?

Then there's Gangle and Zooble, who get separated (nooo my favourite yuri ;-;). Notice how Caine's hand is actively grabbing Zooble whereas Gangle gets just pushed away by Caines arm. Caine has this weird fixation on Zooble. All these "therapy sessions" with them or singing daisy bell in front of their door. I'm pretty sure Caine has mixed feelings about them. He kind of hates Zooble but still wants their attention. Looking at this poster I can't help myself but remember this one particular scene where Caine crashed out and yelled "I'll tear you into pieces!"

Now there's Ragatha and Jax. Ragatha opening a door, revealing a bunch of abstracted eyes and Jax, sitting alone on a pole, looking utterly depressed. Some people guess that Ragatha might abstract in the upcoming episode because of these eyes. I personally think that she's save for now. Her opening a door full of abstracted eyes could be a hint that she discovers someone else who has abstracted. Maybe we learn more about the past and how she found Ribbit or some other circus member abstracted in their room. I don't know about Jax but he looks definitely not fine. The way he sits isolated on the pole might reflect how disconnected he feels about everything and everyone. Maybe he'll abstract? Maybe not? He sure has given up.

The last image shows Kinger. I love the detail the way Caine's hand is holding this C&A computer, holding the truth, Kingers memories. But Kinger is not aware, he has no chance in seeing the truth due to the way Caine is holding his hand. The truth remains hidden, withheld. Kinger is right in front of it but unable to see it.

I'm so scared about this episode, yet I can't wait until it finally comes out. I want to see what will happen but I don't want to see what will happen to the cast...
