I also enjoy sentimental circus... yet, I do not know how to consume media they're in... do yk if there's any manga, shows, social media accounts I could follow along? thank you ... 🐾🧸
unfortunately, i’ve never actually seen any sentimental circus manga or shows. but san-x does have a playlist with short animated videos of the characters, and i think the older ones are especially fun to watch (https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2nNLUYH9TlSNwSnrRVxzMUd472cy0iyg&si=dW3C3CyV1wwYX9M4).
i also go on pinterest a lot to look through the official art. honestly, i wouldn’t even mind making a separate tumblr account just for reposting sentimental circus content !!!
edit: this blog posts a lot of sentimental circus content! @secretcircusdream ♡︎

note: this is just something light and simple. i'll just be rambling about some fun facts!!!
ෆ Layla loves anything cute and floral, especially porcelain teacups with tiny rose patterns. If you give her something with flowers and effort behind it, she actually remembers it forever!!!
ㆍ She plays with her hair when she thinks. It looks dainty and absentminded, but it isn't. She'll loop one curl around her finger, hold it there while she watches you, and you can tell she's noting things away in her head even if she's smiling.
ㆍ She always looks put together. Nails done, outfit coordinated, ribbons straight. Even when the situation around her is a mess, she looks like she’s dressed and styled with great care!
ෆ Her kindness is very selective. She's gentle with people who are tired, scared, or genuinely trying. But if someone lies to her, talks down to others, or acts entitled, she doesn't argue. She just goes quiet and makes them rethink every decision they've ever made!!!
ㆍ She doesn't raise her voice. Ever. When displeased, she'll tilt her head a little, her smile fades, and conversations around her seem to rearrange on their own. Everyone suddenly wants to be on their best behavior, even if they don't understand why.
ㆍ She's low-energy on the surface but mentally way too many steps ahead of everyone around. While other people get swept up in drama, she just watches, almost amused, waiting to see who reveals themselves first. You never really know what she's decided about you until it's too late to fix your first impression.
ෆ I was honestly inspired by the slendermansion concept with this one. Layla has a home called Lacewood, a pink victorian house with a shabby chic interior!!!
ㆍ She has "proxies," but they're called Devotees. They're people who crossed paths with her at a crucial moment and chose to stay by her side afterward. Some run errands, some handle problems, and some just observe and report!!! They don't need direct orders, they just seem to understand what she would want done.
ㆍ She's protective of the people who choose her side, but not in a soft, cushiony way. It's more like: if they're loyal and act with some basic decency, life around them stops feeling impossible. She doesn't say "thank you" often, but her version of gratitude is rearranging the odds.
ㆍ She rarely praises them out loud. Instead, she notices everything. When one of them overworks themselves, shell tell them to sit down and rest in that light, unquestionable tone. When they mess up but learn from it, she lets it go without rubbing it in.
ෆ She is genuinely scary, but never in a loud way. What happens instead is this: someone treats her or someone in her care horribly and then, over time, their life starts lining up with the exact fate they kept joking about or obsessing over. They call it bad luck despite it looking very deliberate from the outside.
ㆍ People who are innocent around her feel calm and go home lighter. The people who've done things they're ashamed of walk away feeling watched, even when she never looked at them twice. She has that "i know more than i'm saying" aura that makes you want to confess or run!!!
ㆍ She doesn't threaten anyone!!! She just asks very simple questions, like "are you sure?" or "you're proud of that?" And somehow those tiny questions keep repeating in people's heads long after she's gone, until their own choices catch up with them.
ㆍ She really reminds me of those eerie edits with unsettling pictures and music. The more i think about her, the more it makes me a little nervous in a good way.l think it's cool that shes active in our reality, even if in the creepypasta world she has a physical body and so much more going on!!!
ෆ Slenderman treats her like a walking problem he can't name. He recognizes that whatever she is, it isn't under him and it isn't trying to be. There's a kind of mutual distance there: he manages his forest and his own, she manages whatever she's watching. They don't clash often, but when their paths do cross, he doesn't interfere. Though i really like to think he a disliking towards her tehe...(a lot of things backfire when she's around which is something he is not fond of.)
ㆍ Zalgo, on the other hand, is the type to be annoyed by her. He pushes for distortion and collapse; she keeps moving things toward consequences and correction. He doesn't like that she can stand near his chaos without breaking. She doesn't fight him directly-she just keeps undoing the "meaning" he tries to put on people's suffering, and that makes her a quiet enemy!!!
ㆍ The silliest part is that neither of them fully understands what she is!!! They just know she isn't prey, she isn't a toy, and she isn't under their influence. In a world full of entities who enjoy being the exception, she's the exception they respect by instinct, whether they want to or not.
