TADC ep 8 spoiler hjsakldfhl
Maybe it's a long rant post but I think it's gonna be my fave ep after 7 and 3. I might have some errors and stuffs here so, please ignore that.
First of all, I think it's a perfect penultimate episode for the grand finalee. The build-up, the conflict and the mood-setting and and the cliff-hanger (I'm not even upset about it, it was pretty good). I especially love the animation, it was so well-made and getting better, and the music composition too. I've already loved the trailer music, but it was so fking good to hear Caine's singing there, Caine's VA did such a great job ! ! ! I need to rewatch the whole Caine's show over again i'm so obsessed with it. Also, the ambient jazzy track when Kinger was alone in the circus hit really good too.
And it was sooo unexpected, like Goose said heh. I was expecting Ragatha or Zoob abstracted, but it was Caine being deleted. Like, it was a MISTAKE. Golly, I thought Kinger's gonna revert him back to normal, restarting the system back to its default mode or some sort, but he slipped the key and accidentally kill Caine... Yep, it was traumatized. Before every new ep, I could think of new scenario or stuff but for this one, well,... that's...
And, in a very terrified way, it's really great to see how cruel and damned Caine can be when he's at limit, he used the cast's insecurities against them, just to torture them to see his point. His antagonizing acts is like a kid throwing tantrum at adult though. And It's heartbroken in a way, like it's his last resort to do so, but also it's unforgiving to torture the one you love the most... Honestly, when I saw Ragatha and Zooble's torture scenes, it just hit home so bad...
And those torture scenes, along with Caine's song, are great references to the original IDHMAIMS ! ! ! Honestly, each torture scene of each cast is wonderfully and painfully created, it's really personal to each of them.

When the first minutes came in and I saw old circus members, I was so sad. They're abstracted already and we won't see them ever again, like their design are so tuff and I want to see more of them (especially the jester-dot purple and the stripped creature). And Queenie is such a lovely character, her voice is so comforting to meee. Oh and I notice Kinger's eyebrows changed slightly when the cut happened, it was slightly bigger heh.
Also these guy too omg, Goose's character design is so gooood hjsakldfh they're so goofy.
Props to our girlie being a badass and a GOAT throughout the episode. She carried it so well, along with Kinger tooooo. She's became much more braver compare to the first ep, to the point she even ventured into the C&A world just to take the computer for Kinger, and became the ground for everyone to stand and rely on. Honestly, she's grown a lot, and I love her for that so much.
And these two too UGH I'M CRYING. I'M CRYING. They're the whole green forest y'all I can't LIKE I have to pause to look at them hugging. Shipping them or not, I think their development together is beautiful.
I need to go draw them ASAP, but I might take a bit more time to make artsie cuz I'm being quite busy recently and having wisdom-teeth sickness too.
I'm really looking forward to the grand finale, hic man, I'm getting emotional. I think I need to look at this beautiful Queenie mug to heal myself (ngl these new merch are so pretty but I can't afford them T=T)
