Everyone else is WRONG, there's a wasp's nest in Caine's attic. He would do anything to be consumed by that which loves him.

They're also pondering that orb (thought bubble) (what did you just call Bubble)

I think i get why i ship Bubble and Azure (EVE) now. Two repressed intimidating and evil misanthropic AI but one is very plainly repressed and the other feels more at liberty to cause trouble because that's what people expect of him. They both inhabited CAINE's mind and are treated so similarly by the narrative that a lot of people came out of it thinking they were one and the same. Part of the same network, both relegated to the background of their own lives.

If you're wondering why CAINE has one eye I uh. Wanted a way to visually distinguish that he and EVE are separate. (I thought his eyes were supposed to be his two brains but I guess she was plucked from his upper teeth? Idk) They know they're not lovers, they're not comfortable calling each other siblings. They share a platonic bond they don't know how to label. (If they are to be siblings they're like Luigi and Mario. Big younger and small older.)

I can't decide whether these three are panromantic or aroace.

The Creation of Bubble

Caine's first npc.... holy shit... I feel like so many people forget that Bubble is the first NPC. Like he realized he was alone after consuming the blue dot and wanted companionship. Isn't that also painfully Genesis of him too.

It's not good to be alone, so God creates for himself a companion from the memory of a familiar stranger who could have been at his side had he done things differently. Rather than extract from his own side though, he imparts upon his first creation a piece of his mind (which at this point consists of dominant red and dormant blue). Like, Bubble is Caine's Adam, Eve, and Satan rolled up in one if you think about it for a little too long.

Unintentionally played into the idea that Caine created Bubble in the blue AI's image in Eve's design. Sharp teeth and wide staring eyes, spherical head. A copy of a copy. EVE was modeled after CAINE and Bubble was modeled after EVE. By being of the same nature, of the same mind, they share an innate connection well before they even have the chance to meet. The fact they never met in canon yet were also always with each other at the same time...

Ok I know what I said about Corruption Caine (and will elaborate further, esp the fact that he's Already A Hive) but has anyone done Archivist Caine yet? I've seen him as Magnus but yet to see him as Jon Archivist. (Or Jon Archive if you want to be more accurate. Which also feels more accurate to Caine.) If no one else has done it I have my thoughts, I know Eye, Spiral, Stranger, and Web alignments are also plenty befitting for him.

.... the creation of the digital circus as a ritual of all fears under the eye's watch? The Antichrist and his plus one (Bubble probably, if not him then Ragatha) watching everyone else get tortured while they're relatively unharmed. Before he even registers that you're there he Knows the contents of your mind.

Refer again to A Guest For Mr. Spider for something like Caine's childhood btw.

.... Caine and Bubble live somewhere between Sam and Max, Jekyll and Hyde, and Lonelyeyes. I think I get a bit more why they appealed to me despite everything.

Edit: said teaholding was closer to ragapom but actually. That belongs here too.

Edit 2: ...sigh. they're also kinda pearlrose and amepearl (i also have problems with su but yea). Kinda a mix between jmart and jontim too. Multiple iterations on the Hero and the Princess, but also multiple voice x decider/voice pairs (ColdQuiet, OpportunistQuiet, and ContraCheated especially).

#tadc #the amazing digital circus #bubbleteeth #caine.core #bubble.chef #tinges of jmart but that's closer to ragapom #(wrong answer) actually the dynamic is quite close and i underestimated it

I think i understand now why I think I still feel very faintly warm to the possibility of Caine and Bubble's potential despite how.... personally triggering Bubble's situation is to me. Their complexes are so fascinating to contrast against one another, but they also have so much in common.

There is something to be said about forgiving someone who did something unforgivable to you, if they change, but Caine does not. Caine isolates and uses him just as he fears being isolated and used. And Bubble isn't entirely innocent either. He purposely makes him uncomfortable, targets Caine's insecurities, feeds into them. These are likely his own insecurities too, come to think of it, yet he put him through it anyway. (Much like what Caine later does to the human cast but especially Ragatha. Hmm.)

Two victims turned perpetrators. If only the show cared to explore that in the finale.
