Also I, Tigershakk [last name redacted] hereby solemnly swear to not post any spoilers regarding The Amazing Digital Circus: The Last Act until June 19th 🫡

[tigershakk]

how it feels being able to engage in the tadc fandom without fear of spoilers for the first time in like a month

[tigershakk]

My predictions for TADC episode 9 in Bingo card form!! (Im seeing it later today 🎉)

plain text because my handwriting is atrocious:

Someone abstracts

Caine is gone forever

They don’t escape the circus

Someone nearly abstracts (Jax or Pomni)

Bittersweet ending

Themes of finding meaning on meaninglessness

Pomni has a dramatic and/or emotional monologue

Bubble is Abel

They find out how to reverse abstractions

Zooble cracks Jax’s egg

Gangle’s comedy mask breaks and she’s okay with that

We find out that Jax and Ribbit had a massive falling out before Ribbit abstracted

FREE SPACE (Transfem Jax)

something is out there in the void

big dramatic fight

Everyone has mixed feelings when they find out that Kinger helped make Caine

Absolute banger of a soundtrack

Jax apologizes. Not necessarily successfully, but an attempt is made

jax killed someone before she entered the circus

Ragatha forgives Jax

Pomni has a realization™️

Gangle helps Zooble feel more comfortable in their body

Kaufmo becomes a threat but is stopped woth the power of friendship

the circus was created so scratch could live forever

we don’t find out their real names

NO SPOILERS IN THE REPLIES PLEASE AND THANK YOU

Hey what are some fun, harmless ways you prank your pets? Not startling or scaring them, just confusing the shit out of them for mutual enrichment.

[tigershakk]

stacking increasingly large objects on them as they sleep (hair tie, bank card, phone, plastic dinosaur, etc etc etc)

[tigershakk]

The editing of this video is hysterical and genius- they switch between so many editing styles to reflect exactly what kind of thing they're going for in each segment its GREAT.

[manuciruja]

awww the like button turns into a rainbow when you press it! that's so cute...hey staff what's with all the trans women you keep nuking?

[manuciruja]

i think we should be ridiculing them more for this. you don't get to try and go all "queer website" when your staff likes to go on nuking sprees targeting the trans fem users

[chaumas-deactivated20240115]

the way prehistoric animal documentaries will talk about extinction like it happens because of “a failure to evolve” as though evolution is a meritocracy is so funny and so scary

[chaumas-deactivated20240115]

this species persisted over the eons because of its Protestant work ethic to produce more of a specific kind of digestive enzyme that allowed it to extract 4% more nutrients from the dominant plant species in the area

[chaumas-deactivated20240115]

I have worked in scicomm for a decade, some of that at a paleontology. I would ask you to trust me that evolution is popularly mischaracterized like a kind of smart investment rather than a game of chance and circumstance and that every day I had to find ways to delicately correct guests’ misunderstandings, but you can literally just watch almost any dinosaur or prehistoric animal documentary with an ear for the language and framing around it. You could probably make a drinking game out of it but I think you might die if you took a shot every time a dinosaur documentary invoked the concept of monarchy alone.

The language used in communicating scientific concepts is not neutral—just look at how the concept of evolutionary “fitness” has been warped in popular understanding to justify eugenics and ableism. There are some really good papers out there on stuff like the rhetoric of invasive species and how it reflects and reinforces xenophobic and nationalistic sentiments—to the point that some of it just reads like find-and-replace Yellow Peril propaganda.

This reminds me of how Walking With Dinosaurs would always try to be like "the dinosaurs stopped being as adaptable" as if that's what wiped them out and not a Chicago-sized asteroid dropping into the Gulf of Mexico, and even as a little kid watching my dinosaur shows I was just like "yeah, I don't think we'd do so hot if someone dropped a giant space rock on us either"

You can't evolve around air that's suddenly unbreathable (Great Oxygenation Event), sudden onset climate change (Ordovician, current), big space rock (Devonian, Cretaceous), or the floor suddenly becoming lava (Permian-Triassic, Triassic-Jurassic): sometimes you're on a great roll with natural selection and the universe still decides "you know what? Fuck you: gamma ray burst, motherfucker!" (Pleistocene Exinction Event)

[tigershakk]

I have felt SO strongly about this for SO long but have never had the words to describe it!!

I hate in English (the class in the school not the language) when I have to make a plan for a piece of writing in one of those structured planning sheets and it asks me what the target audience is. It's me. I am the target audience. am i making sense?
