I LOVE THIS SO SO SO MUCH!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!! Oh my goodness this is sooo beautiful!!!! I don't know what to say but WOW!!!! ITS PERFECT!!!!! I'm saving this!!!!! AWWW!!!!! And Caine so well done!!!!!!!! Henry, thank you 😭And the little hats!!!
Guys PLEASE check this person out!!! It posts such amazing art and analysis of tadc!!!!
Edit: until I make my own character sheet pls use this drawing as Honey’s colored reference sheet!!
So @wizardofozzi asked me the following: "On the topic of Honey, what’s her relationship with the rest of the tadc cast?"
I thought it deserves a post by itself so this one's for you Ozzi! Oh grand wizard, I hope you find this gift presentable ^^ /lh sorry it took so long!
Please note that @wackywatchdotcom was very helpful to me with some of these ideas and some ideas belong to it! For clarification, some of these ideas came out of just us talking back and forth about our oc which is always fun!!
If anyone is interested I’d love to talk through dm or ask inbox about both our oc's!!!
Now then!! Without further ado.... (It's a bit long!)
Order List of characters:
Ragatha
Jax
Pomni
Kinger
Zooble
Gangle
Mannequins
Bubble
Bonus Fun Fact of Honey
Caine!!! (BusyBee!!!) [my fav for last personally]
Ragatha
I think Honey would have a crush on Ragatha at the start (kind older lady who treats her nicer than anyone from her past life family did and also I'm a sucker if she ever uses terms of endearment lol) [ngl this happened in real life with someone who was Ragatha’s age and similar personality too low-key embarrassed about admitting it but its true even if it wasn’t actually love][this girl (me) is just really touch starved sometimes so she gets confused] but it's just a bi panic moment and also there to show she's also touch starved. They would eventually be the best platonic cuddle buddies though!!! :3
Maybe Ragatha is the only one Honey let's touch her aside from Caine bc she can tell the others either dislike it or don't care and Ragatha also shows Honey that she loves it (I wanna give the poor woman a hug dammit she deserves cuddles lol)
I used to be extremely similar to Ragatha and I think Honey would totally sense that and while she does appreciate the doll's help and gives lots of verbal reassurance of that i think she'd be wary of her bc Honey can sense Rag's issues would be too much for her to tackle alone with where she is mentally at least at the start of entering the circus
"the circus doesn't take away your issues, you bring whatever issues you had before in the circus with you". [credit to wackywatchdotcom for that idea!!!] I would say Honey struggles with low self esteem and low self worth like I do sometimes but I think Caine and maybe Ragatha would be good at helping her!!!
Jax
"Jax would be so rude to Honey but also I think most characters, be they canon or oc or self insert are so liable to be treated so badly by him"
would the mute sometimes thing would make him bored or pounce harder idk?
"I feel like as long as she reacts in Some way he'd be rude, but if she doesn't react whatsoever I think he'd get bored then."
Maybe if one day she’ll join him being a chaos gremlin and burn the tent down :3
Pomni
"I think Pomni and Honey could get along! I think Pomni can get along well with people as long as they're not too loud or rude, but how close she gets I think is more based on experiences shared. But I think Honey being generally quiet would be a huge relief to Pomni, who I imagine doesn't Like People Being Loud and finds it overwhelming!!"
I think Honey and Pomni would be good acquaintances eventually and one day finding solace in a friend to sit with in silence. but if I'm being honest, while I love Pomni as a character, how would I get along with her personally is another thing though. I don’t think it will go past a relatively superficial friendship unless something major were to happen…
Kinger
Non lucid: ignores and flinches whenever he screams. Keeps her distance with him for a long time at the beginning
Lucid: grateful for his kindness and understanding. She's a little confused by him, but tries to be respectful of him since he seems older [but only once she realizes all the humans are in fact humans…] takes a long time for her to get close to him but doesn’t dislike him [does not like when he’s loud but she is understanding of him most of the time] mostly neutral feelings.
She enjoys listening to his long talks about bugs and life, basking in the small moments of peace when he’s normal. She considers him to have a calming aura about it when he’s in the right mind. Similar to Pomni, she likes to sit with him in silence. Perhaps eventually, she will start literally leaning on him like a cat does! She does this to most of her friends if they let her :3
Their relationships would just be very slow but neutral leaning on positive more than negative.
Zooble
Honey would be a little intimidated by Zooble at first, but not in a bad way! Just that she thinks they’re super cool and when Honey tries to talk to Zooble at the start and asks if possible to be friends Honey’s nervousness gets the best of her and she sputters and repeats herself and asks in a broken English and small animal noises if they could be friends together lol. She gets over her nervousness soon though. She’s extra cautious of Zooble’s boundaries so as not to chase them away but is still afraid to ask specifics about it for a long time at the beginning of their friendship. This is directly inspired by how I became friends with an irl friends who was a co-worker of mine rip ^^; social anxiety was a mess + autistic yayyy but also it worked out wonderfully in the end :)
During Honey’s early days in the circus she would avoid Zooble along with everyone else and rarely talked to anyone except Caine and occasionally Ragatha. Zooble would probably be confused by Honey’s affection/friendliness for the AI’s, but I wonder if they’d ever be suspicious of Honey for that? Or just apathetic and minding their own business and low-key not believing Caine that Honey exists until they meet her
Zooble might be a little put off by it? They seem distrustful of Caine; it would be confusing for them to see someone so interested in him because of that. They'd just feel like 'well... weird but whatever it's not my business' esp since they do seem to understand that caine has some sort of feelings? but i think they are more worried about the danger he poses to truly be friends with him themself, at least as of ep 4
Oh!! And Honey is very defensive of Caine to Zooble whenever they talk about Caine negatively. (Only towards Zooble is Honey vocal about that though) Usually though she’ll just act in denial that Caine is a robot and not a fun silly autistic buddy [in my au is he is just as sentient as a human but is very confused by his code].
Gangle
Irl I adore Gangle as a character!!! But like Pomni, I don’t know how she’d handle living with Gangle in the circus…Happy Mask Gangle at the beginning was a neutral acquaintance at Honey’s early days but Tragic Mask Gangle was overwhelming and a 50/50 on comforting Gangle; standing there awkwardly not knowing what to do; or Honey just apologizes and then runs away to hide. If either of them get over their shyness they’d both bond over their love of arts and drawing :3 Maybe Zooble is the one that initiates the friendship first!! Because again both are too shy but also because Honey is more likely to prefer Zooble and a friend first because of how Stable they are compared to Gangle. And Zooble can see when someone is in need of more friends but is too shy and that Honey is the type to get along eventually with Gangle. I’m not sure how close Honey and Gangle would actually become even with time?
They would eventually bond over art and poor mental health one of these days lol maybe in the future I'll explore their dynamic more!
Mannequins
So I have Caine being a sentient AI on the same level as a human but as of right now I don’t know what to do or how to handle the three main AI’s…
Since there are so many mannequins I like to think that they really are just simpler ai that are constantly created and regenerated that they are not as nearly as advanced as Caine or even Sun and Moon. Also Honey is lowkey terrified of the mannequins even partly paranoid of them… often keeps her distance from them!
Exceptions: Dr. Football…. He is also the reason behind Honey’s fear of the mannequins as a whole lol
Alternates between extreme aggression and paranoid fear towards any mannequins after "meeting" Dr. Football" (don't think too hard about honestly though...)
Bubble
Gremlin energy; pet dog sometimes. Avoids for safety reasons at the very start BUT!!! Once Honey learns Bubble can be popped her inner kitty takes over and like a little kid chasing a butterfly Honey chases Bubble constantly whenever he’s around trying to pop him [what is bubble’s gender exactly???] Otherwise, Bubble is chaotic neutral to Honey. She will let it bite her and she’ll just laugh maniacally [based off my sister pinching me as a kid and I just laugh at her and the pain until she left me alone lol]
Bonus Fun Fact
I like to think she has claws just like a cat and that they get caught on the chairs and cloths in the circus…. BUT This also applies to Ragatha’s cloth skin [the newer episode are so detailed and the models are amazing and so detailed it really looks like cloth so I’m headcanoning it lol] and also Kinger’s soft robe :3
Poor thing will have to learn how to sheath her claws and learn to remember to keep them sheathed ^^;
Hugs are a trial and error at the start especially with the Dolly :( it takes time for Honey and she has mixed feelings of her claws
Caine
Honey is a self ship w Caine ^^;
I think Honey being close to Caine would weird the others out like they don't get why bc they haven't bothered to really dive in about caine about his emotions and how he really feels.
So they're just confused why this newbie is only energetic/so happy around him
also she'd take some time accepting he's a robot ai and not some fellow autistic silly guy
"i think caine is like. he LOVES approval and likes for people to give him feedback cus he wants to improve, he just tends to have a hard time comprehending the context for different problems people may express since he operates VERY differently from people!!! that said i think negative feedback gets him like. a little defensive, not helped by the fact that bc he Doesnt see the issues himself he can interpret the feedback as baseless , BUT well meaning feedback worded in a way he can understand would be smth he appreciates i think at least on some level!!!"- i wanna learn his language lol through Honey :3
I do want Caine angst for the record and to give write hurt/comfort with the two lol
i wonder if Caine gives Honey a free pass to skip the adventures for like the first whole week or smth to get used to the world? party bc he likes her but also the poor guy has been increasingly insecure about how useful his adventures have been lately (maybe the regular gang has been voicing frustrations more frequently right before Honey comes?)
Anyway Honey tends to dissociate frequently and tries to hold on to nice memories of her real life. She loves sleeping but is afraid of Caine having to wake her up in the mornings (this is after she moved into her bedroom) [personally I hate having someone else wake me up unless I asked you specifically to wake myself for me] so Honey makes sure she’s one of the first to Caine’s side in the morning [when she isn’t doing horribly mentally] (she likes to take her time getting ready for the day though!![usually staring at a wall as she mentally wakes up lol] And getting ready for bed and brushing her fur:) Sometimes she still sleeps in Caine’s office after finding how to find the room (I headcanon the room is apart of the circus but the door to it constantly changes location but Honey easily find it ^^... somehow…)
On the days she falls asleep in Caine’s office she usually doesn’t mind him waking her up for her, even asking him beforehand. She won’t let him take her to her bedroom if she’s settled into his office already. Not with a yowling fight anyway lol
My last note is that I came up with one more ship name for Honey x Caine: SweetTooth ^^
If you made it to this point seriously I love you, thank you so much! I really hope ya'll enjoyed this!!!!! That's all folks! :3 [I'm working on that chapter by the way!!! I haven't forgotten about it!!!!]
1. Are you a welcome home fan? This was just something on my mind since I’ve seen you like/reblog wh related posts haha
2. Not a question but BUSYBEE DOODLE BUSYBEE DOODLE
I hope I did Honey justice!! Caine needs work FOR SURE, but I just absolutely needed to draw the couple!! Hope you like it :)
3. On the topic of Honey, what’s her relationship with the rest of the tadc cast? I imagine she’s good friends with Ragatha :3
That’s all my questions, so bye hehehe
3. For the sake of this post's length I am going to answer this question in a separate post and because I want more time to write a fully fleshed answer. I promise to give it the answer it deserves!!! (I'm still working on it, but I should have it done soon!!)
2. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! @wizardofozzi THAT IS SO CUTE!! ^w^ fdskjvdreagearjoervmkgos I LOVE IT SO MUCH!! THANK YOU!!! It really touches my heart to know that you took the time to draw Honey and Caine together!!!! It's so pretty and cute and just so lovely arg!!! Honey looks so adorable in your art!! You certainly did her justice ^^ And I love your Caine too!! The silly beeswaxed coconut ^^ I really was not expecting anyone to make free art of Honey! This art gift is so amazing!!!! THANK YOU!!!! :3 Everyone please check out @wizardofozzi send her some love ^^ there's also really cool art on her blog!!!
1. I used to be a fan of welcome home, but not really anymore sadly. I was introduced to it by film theory and I did enjoy the stuff the fandom made! I liked the au's too but afterwhile I fell away from it sorry! With new updates lately though I love seeing cute funny art other's make :3 sorry, but I'd call myself a pretty casual fan. I like the lighthearted stuff and don't really keep up with the lore or heavy stuff (I do love the horror aspect though, don't get me wrong!!) At least I don't as much as I used to, sorry! You'll probably see a few rb of wh everynow and then but I can't promise much sorry! (if life gets less busy, maybe I'll do some sketches/doodles of a character or two one day maybe idk)
Thank you so much for sending my this ask!!! I'm so happy right now!!!! :3 ily sm!!!!
