New video that talks about the merch for The Amazing Digital Circus just came out-

One scene in it also reminded me of this doodle I drew a while ago-
Surprise doodles I forgot to post!
Oh yeah, I drew this a while ago and finished it recently. Just Bill with his puppet introducing you to Weirdmaggedon.
Looking at this drawing now led to some thoughts about why Bill possesses Jax. Y'all can read under the cut if you want.
Thanks to The Book of Bill and watching/reading others analyze Bill as a character, I think he's easier to understand than Jax. TADC is still pretty new, and only two episodes have come out far, so most of what I have on Jax is mostly speculation. We don't know if he's a sympathetic character or was born a jerk and we only know small tidbits like him being scared of corn for some reason. Thankfully @gooseworx has stated that we'll have an episode that'll flesh out Jax's character more, but for now we'll just have to speculate until then.
Since we don't know much about what Jax is thinking at any given time other than that he enjoys causing chaos for his own amusement so far, I'm not entirely sure if he would willingly allow Bill to puppet his body. Chances are he doesn't, at least not at first, and Jax is clever enough to know that Bill's hiding something.
As for how Bill even got into the circus in the first place, he is a dream demon. One that can enter the dreams of any living creature. While you might think that the cast members don't sleep or that Bill can't get to them since they're stuck in a digital hellscape, they are ultimately human. Ep. 2 of TADC even opens with Pomni having and waking up from a scary dream, so it's not that farfetched to say that Bill could reach the cast members.
But there's also the issue of why Bill would even be in the Digital Circus. Is it cause he's intrigued? Bored? Just stumbled on it and got curious? Any one of these reasons seems plausible so we'll leave that up to the imagination. There's also the question of even if Bill could posses someone in the circus, why would he? The cast is stuck there with no way out. There's different ways to go about it. One idea is to have the circus be a forgotten game, but still accessible on the Internet. You could still play it, but why would you if you never heard of C&A and all merchandise and marketing was pulled off of store shelves? Maybe the cast members were employees that were silenced or something of that nature.
The only way I see Bill wanting to take over the circus is if the circus itself is an entirely different reality than the real world the cast members used to live in. Bill already likes it weird and thanks to Caine there's no shortage of wacky shenanigans ready to be experienced. Honestly, that might mean that Bill would try to possess Caine, but he can't cause Caine's an AI. An advanced one to be sure, but still an AI.
I imagine Bill would either stay away from Pomni, get rid of her or potentially be a little fond of her. We know thanks to The Book of Bill that the guy's parents were red and blue triangles and frequently draws them during arts and crafts while in The Theraprism. Pomni would definitely remind Bill of his parents and what he did to them, that's why I'm not entirely sure if he would be okay with her around. Honestly though if it weren't for her colors then she'd actually be the first person Bill would make a deal with. She's smart and determined, but also desperate. Perfect for a deal if it weren't for lingering regrets Bill refuses to deal with.
Ragatha's a completely different story. She's gentle and kind, bordering on condescending, but she truly means well. Bill would probably find her boring and be uninterested with what happens to her. I think Bill might consider Ragatha a pawn at best because of her passivity.
Zooble we don't have much info about, but we do know that they're uninterested with whatever Caine offers and does her own thing most of the time. This'll probably change down the line, but for now I'm gonna say that Bill would find their "take apart, put back together" body interesting for a while and consider making a fidget toy out of Zooble.
Gangle's very emotional and the comedy/tragedy mask alters her personality which makes her a bit unpredictable. Otherwise, I don't see Bill being too interested in her and might not even care enough to bully her. If anything, I think he'd consider her "figurine thing" concerning.
Kinger's kinda kooky already and I think Bill would find him hilarious. At the very least Bill's gonna laugh at the tragedy that Kinger represents within the circus. Beyond that though, Kinger's mind is just too broken for him to make a deal with Bill.
Finally we have Jax. Like Pomni, Jax is smart and capable. He's confident and is really good at getting into places where he shouldn't. This is why I think Bill would offer up a deal with Jax, even if Jax turns him down at first. I think Bill would follow Jax around, revel in the rabbits chaos and offer up small ways to make it "more interesting." At first, Jax disregards Bill and his tips but eventually he gives it a try. Whether through curiosity or sheer boredom, Jax follows Bill's advice and has a great time. The more fun Jax has, the more he trusts Bill, leading to Bill's final trick.
However, something goes wrong. Bill starts to connect with Jax. They bond more and more over chaos and their desire for control. As time goes on, both Bill and Jax develop a genuine friendship. (A chaotic and arguably toxic friendship, but still a friendship nonetheless). Soon enough, the two make a deal, one that gave Jax endless entertainment at the cost of his digital body.
I'll leave it at that for now. If you made it to the end, thanks a lot! There's still plenty more to think about when it comes to these goobers so if anybody wants to add more to this I'd like to hear it.
Ma boiiiii✨✨✨
Thank youuuuu. I was happy the first time I saw the drawing but THIS-
I did a colour version for my able, @sillyandquest able, and @sm-baby able.
I think that along with ballet, Simoni knows how to break dance and incorporates that into his fighting style. Unlike Orange (and possibly canon Rise Mikey) who uses razzmatazz as a way to prove that he doesn't need to be babied, Simoni just does this because he gets too bored and likes to spice up his attacks. Makes him unpredictable y'know?
Now that I think about it, Blue would probably be more proficient in fighting right? Since he's in a family full of incredibly talented people, Blue feels incredibly insecure and downplays achievements even when they were well earned. In this Au, he would probably train a lot more to "compensate" for his "lackluster" abilities. Similar to canon Rise Leo, he's a great strategist and can smooth talk his way out of most problems but Blue doesn't value this skill a whole lot.
Because of this extra training, Blue probably rivals DaVinci in combat proficiency. Vinnie isn't a slouch either and despite the more calm and maybe even playful demeanor in this Au, DaVinci is just as committed to training as his canon counterpart.
I think it's really weird to see Pomni smile like that, but I guess this isn't the jester we know is she?
(Opposite Pomni belongs to campbell_soup70 on insta)
A friend of mine recommended that I practice backgrounds and I decided to try it out with a doodle from the last player 2 au post.
Not used to it at alllll. Still though, I think it came out alright.
I can't dude they make such a cute couple fr
they gay : - ]
What if the reason that everybody believes Lila is because there's no Google? XD
Ngl that one thought made me laugh
Something a little different
Cult of the Lamb has been peaking my interest lately and wanted to shove my favorite brother sister duo into it.
I wanted to draw Rock and Roll as the Lamb and the Goat respectively, but their regular hair colors just looked off so I left them with white and gray hair.
Also, yes I did chop off a lot of Roll's hair, what of it?
I think at some point I'll swap them so that Rock has his regular hair color and Roll has her blonde hair back. Of course it'll be like a platinum blonde but whatever.
I think my Abel would try to talk it out if he can. Though if he figures out that your Able had tortured the main cast, all bets are off. My version of Abel does feel conflicted about your Caine and would understand why your Able is lashing out like this, but he doesn't like that the humans are the ones that ultimately suffer for it.
Just as a side note, my version of Caine adores his little brother Abel so if he figures out what your Caine did then it's Chihuahua fight time.
The Amazing Digital Circus finally got to me....
With that said, allow me to introduce you to the circus's very own...
Animal Tamer!!
Abel!
Aka, my own personal take on the speculation surrounding C&A.
There's biblical imagery in TADC if you look for it, especially when it comes to our beloved Ringmaster himself, Caine, who's believed to be named after the first murderer in the bible. That paired with the C&A logo that briefly shows up has led people to believe that Caine had a brother named Abel.
This is just what I think Abel would look like if he does show up in the future or at all. I imagine Abel's an AI, like Caine, but is surprisingly emotionally intelligent and ran the program that allowed humans to leave the circus. (Slight reference to @fannele's version of Able) If we follow the pilot, then something happened to him, but since Caine was described to be a silly guy by @gooseworx themselves, I don't think he had anything to do with it. (If he did it might've been an accident.) The programmers might have potentially removed Abel or accidentally deleted him for some reason, we can't know for sure.
Those are just my thoughts on Abel and whether it's right or wrong, I don't really care. I just like how this guy came out! I'll be honest though, I probably should've chosen a better pose that convey's Abel's personality a bit more. That and he just generally looks like Caine but with a different outfit and a different head. He low-key looks like if Caine wanted a to wear a very slight Sonic themed outfit.
Idk, I guess I just subconsciously wanted Caine and Abel to be twins. (Darn it ninja turtles you have invaded my brain even now!!).
Anyways. That's just my take, hope you like!
I caved and doodled DogDay with legs cause the boi deserves it.
Just a lil lad. (Correction: he is, in fact, a very large lad)
