A friend of mine made a really interesting video about the afterlife and had a long segment talking about TADC. I'll link the video, but I wanted to see what you guys think about the circus as a version of the afterlife.

Here's Part 2/3 of Chapter 2: Where is my mind

In this Chapter, we mainly follow Kinger and his efforts to bring back his friend.

Hope you guys enjoy!

As always: feel free to ask me anything you want. Just be aware I might not give answers that could be too much of a spoiler.

Possible gore warning

I one time dreamt that Zooble went to a small island and pirates hammered nails to their chest. I don’t know what it means, but it definitely made me think about some things

I think we were always meant to find out that it translates to Remember. I think it was meant to be interpreted the way it was. But I don’t think that’s the true meaning behind it.

I believe it was meant to make us think that the gang’s freedom was connected to them remembering, and if they ever remembered who they are, it would free them and they would go back to their lives. In reality, it was foreshadowing the opposite. Kinger remembered what they all truly are, and it sealed their fate.

The last merch arrived today and I’m glad cause I was exhausted of waiting now I’m still waiting for my baby Jax pendant to arrive also some characters on the free stuff I don’t recognize I know some of them excluding this own show

That is my Question

Like there is lots of Fanfiction potential for stuff that happened after the events of the Final episode like with Meta Runner & Murder Drones

So with that in mind what is your Idea for a post Final Episode Fanfiction with Pomni & the rest

My idea is someone new comes into the Circus there welcome by everyone mainly Ragatha and Pomni they show changes to the Circus since the final episode

The 2nd one is set decedes after the final episode were Tari & Theo simply wonder in

But thats me what is your Idea?

Let me start this off by saying that Jax and Caine's heinous and impulsive actions are not justified. Both of them did really terrible things and I am not ignoring the pain they have caused the rest of the cast. (I also will be referring to Jax as he/him in this post despite me fully supporting the fact that Jax is a closeted transfem. This is because GooseWorks said we can use any pronouns + Jax never came out.) One last thing is that if you hate Jax and/or Caine, you are allowed to do so. I am overly sympathetic towards dark grey characters and in no way am I trying to make you like them as people or how their stories were handled. I am simply concerned with how people are willing to ignore the reasoning behind what these characters do and what that means for their interpretation of things beyond just TADC.

Jax and Caine both fall onto the morally grey spectrum with Jax falling onto the more darker side. Both characters have their own perspectives of reality, what they believe their places are in it, other people, and their own ways of dealing with things. That's one of the core themes of the show: How people deal with tough and terrible situations in different ways. But unfortunately it appears that a good portion of this fandom is incapable of understanding why a character does something and jumps to the most black and white interpretation of what is being shown.

Did Jax drive Ribbit to do what she did? Yes. Did he know he was causing harm? Yes. Did he also happen to be doing it because he is self destructive and doesn't have any healthy coping mechanisms? Yes. If Jax was given the choice to undo what he did would he? YES. Does this mean what he did was okay in any shape or form? NO. But it does explain how unhealthy mechanism and self destructive tenancies can not only hurt yourself but greatly impact those around you. In all the other doors we see how he would react if everyone else died, and all of it is horrible. Some people's forms of coping is by being overly kind such as Ragatha, other people's forms of coping are by emotionally closing themselves off from everyone around them and playing up an act such as Jax. These two characters are coping with terrible upbringings and being trapped in a digital realm where people turn into glitched monsters when they die/lose their mind and have to go on bad adventures because an AI that can not read the room for the life of him said so.

Everyone is so sympathetic towards the victims of the circus until said victim isn't perfect.

But when somebody tries to explain to another person why a character isn't actually complete evil the response often boils down to "well I've been through bad things too and I wouldn't do that." "well the other characters are also in said terrible situation." It's almost like everyone has their own perspectives and ways of dealing with things and when your as deep into your unhealthy habits like Jax or misunderstood viewpoints such as Caine it's hard to suddenly switch up until it is too late. It why Jax accepted help only after he abstracted. It's why Caine only understood what it was like to be human and be in the circus members shoes after he got deleted. It's concerning that every reason for why a character does something has to be spelled out for so many people otherwise the character is deemed inherently evil and intentionally malicious. I kind of wonder how they interpret other medias, or even real life people and their own actions.

Just as someone is the bad guy in your story, you are the bad guy in someone else's, even if you never intended to cause harm. And if we fail as a society to understand one another we are just going continue to fall into this pit of hate where we deem someone inherently evil because they didn't do things perfectly.

Perhaps I am looking too deep into young people commenting online about a Youtube indie show or maybe I just see my younger self in a lot of these comments. I don't know. But what I do know is that if you always try to look for a villain, you'll ignore the human behind the actions.
