this is the caine that points at gay people
rewatching the series, and...
Yknow, I think even from Episode 1, Caine was not doing so hot.
There's this frantic emptiness to him that feels like a guy throwing his entire soul into running away from the ennui of being an all-powerful god getting every material thing he could want instantly for 20 years. He's scattered and unfocused, which, to be fair, I think is partially just Caine's natural state (we love our little audhd king), but also it feels like he's BORED in the way that people hooked on Endless Scrolling are bored. And he's SO SCARED of acknowledging that boredom.
"Let's do a theme song! Let's play! Lets have a colorful fun adventure! Let's fill a whole room with an infinite stack of carousels!!! RIGHT!!!!!! NOW!!!" <-his emotional and mental needs are NOT being met. Rating: NOT CUTE. This AI is lacking in proper enrichment behaviors and has been patching the problem with maladaptive ones.
The humans are abstracting again, he CANNOT AFFORD to experience a negative emotion, so just keep it happy and light and silly and everyone will stay happy and light and silly! If he works hard enough, tries hard enough, things will be happy and light and fun forever!!!! Just like they used to be! Why aren't they anymore?
He was going utterly stir crazy in there never realizing that while he was surrounded by people he was still alone. There's a lot of talk about how the cast never treated him like a person, but I think he also forgot to treat himself like a person along the way, or perhaps, never quite knew how to in the first place. He got lost in his archetype and got confused when it wasn't fulfilling.
~Your voices
Their voices~
~all wonderfully wacky voices~
...Yet no one could hear your cries
MEME ver:
Caine did all of this to get back to the humans while believing they fully intended to kill him.
Oh Caine the beautifully written character you are.
Best character in the show
go my caine transparents from the fortnite collab video. free to use go wild ✌🏻
She isn’t her step mom, she’s the mom that stepped up!
Congratulations on your new loving, extremely loud mom
Sighs. Turned off reblogs bc some clown was a two-hit wonder of missing the point of the show AND my post and people are reblogging the stupid version. And I don't want my notes to become intolerable <3
thinking about Caine causing Scratch to abstract bc he deliberately messed with his brain
do you think the first abstraction scared Caine about as much as the "what does Caine fear" nightmare ad? Do you think it went a little like that? Watching your friend and creator fall limp before distorting into something you're afraid to touch?
Put this shit in the STORY Goose
I mean the story wasn't about that, this stuff is just the bonus round
We disagree. There should’ve been room in the narrative to explain C&A and the original devs, at least to understand Caine and Kinger a little better. Kinger literally had a hand in creating Caine and we don’t know how these two characters feel about each other. Other than Abel saying Kinger wasn’t allowed to be part of the Escape Adventure and Caine saying, “where’s Kinger” before his crashout, we really don’t see them interact in a way that explores or explains their dynamic. Which is weird, considering Kinger helped create Caine.
Why were they scanning people’s brains to begin with?? Why and how do people continue to get their brain scanned long after C&A shut down, other than The Plot Requires It?? This is a technology that Scratch had started and then failed at- how did Caine even get access to it?? And why did it take Kinger seeing the “Brain Scans (OBSOLETE)” folder to realize they were all brain scans?? Knowing that Scratch was working in that technology and that the exist within the circus should’ve been “proof” enough for Kinger to know that Caine gained access to, and perfected, Scratch’s brain scan technology.
And Abstraction, on a technical level, still hasn’t been explained. Sure, the narrative suggests it’s an allegory for suicide, Caine’s CA says he thinks of it like intensive care, but what exactly is it??
ALL of this could’ve been answered with a flashback when Caine accidentally caused Scratch’s Abstraction. Why even have Kinger and Caine have that 2 line throwaway exchange if it wasn’t going to be expanded upon within the narrative?? It brought up questions that were never going to be answered.
Idk man. Because the story wasn't about that and it would have distracted from the core point. It's about "what if you were in a fucked up situation and all you had was each other". Sometimes things are implied and that's fine. We don't need to know what abstraction is bc its fantasy data corruption and also its role is as allegory. It Depends!
You're welcome to make your own post instead of hijacking mine lol

So if Caine and Kinger finally have a father-son relationship… does that mean Kinger calls him by his first name, all three middle names, and last name when he’s about to unleash the full force of his parental wrath

>Caine fell out of the world
This? This right here? This means everything to me.
Caine and Gangle bonding over art was a very popular idea in the fandom for the longest time and I am beyond happy that it became canon.
Show's over.
we got there
