Caine and Gangle go outside and touch grass. I was thinkin too hard about their Parallels as self-destructive “failed” artists and this was the result.

Brad Bird once said that you can’t create the illusion of life if you haven’t actually lived one, and that’s a line I think about a lot around the Traumatizing Digital Circus. This comic was inspired by: the purpose of making your own art in a world where AI image generators can churn out endless content for you, the way 3D software makes it easy to create infinite spaces but hard to capture authentic hand-drawn human touches, the way all my college art teachers were skeptical of the students’ desire to make anime-inspired stylized 3D visuals right up until it became the new trend in the animation industry—- and how easy it is to get so lost in the technical aspects of art & the consequences of failure that you lose sight of what art is even supposed to be for.

I just really needed to hear this song with them ❤️

Warning:

Ungodly amount of angst, hurt and sadness. May seems self harm-ish? But just in case - be warned.

no blood, no gore, its just Caine's core happens to be red. 1

Sometimes we feel like dunking all of the sadness on our favorite characters. I don't like this much angst, but I like making it lol

This scene obviously doesn't fit in any of my AUs so its the classic What if stand alones

Pomni is an excellent actor, I would be able to pretend this long ahaha

The shock of actually breaking his fellow humans worse than abstraction - is what brough Caine's sanity back. He wanted to "put them back in their place", not actually completely destroying them

And yes, desperation pushed him to get part of his own code to mend none existing wound.

A lil bit of none logical, but I will sacrifice it for the drama. (I guess him not spotting her pretending can be excused by his unstablemental state)

My hand is fine, it only hurts when I write XD

Without an office anymore, all the stacks of paper are stored in Blitzø's apartment, where Stolas is currently staying.

One day while everyone is out carrying out hits, Stolas paces around the apartment, leafing through the papers piled around the place. He slowly realizes nothing is in any proper order and hey, he loves words and is a fast reader.

So he starts reading through everything, separating everything by job, date, status of completion, etc. He forgets his sadness for a moment and throws himself into the work almost mindlessly. By the time Blitzø and Loona are back, everything has been properly classified and set in folders.

Stolas looks relaxed and content for the first time in days, and Blitzø figures out a way to solve their little paperwork issue while keeping Stolas busy and out of his head.

you're barking up the wrong tree there dude. or, haunting up the wrong apartment imao

Lots of people think she wouldn't change it since its a unisex name she chose for herself with good memories still attached to it and maybe its not something she'd feel the need to erase?

Others like giving her J names like Joy or Jazz, or other names like Daisy because of the meaning and history with Pomni

I like the option that kinda mashes all concepts:

Daisy Jax (or Daisy Jaxine)

Its kind of an ass combination (and I disliked Jax Daisy) but still represents both good things attached to it, a brand new start (Daisy) but still a sense of familiarity/resignifying old terms (Jax/Jaxine)

And I like the combined meaning: Daisy (day's eye - purity, innocence, new beginnings) + Jax/Jaxine (God is gracious/may God protect/the supplanter) =

A pure, bright blossom who is protected and gracious

Gaster Blaster Theory!

I am a HUGE fan of gaster blasters. Like. Bonkers fan. Giant toothy skull lasers?!? Sign me The Heck Up. I especially like imagining the blasters as full skeletal beasts, as do so many others in the fandom, but I noticed something. Just about all of the full body designs I’ve seen, either of the blasters themselves or of the skelebros, are some sort of dragon. Some have wings, some don’t; some are more like velociraptors and some look like wyverns. All of these are hella awesome, but…

What about snakes?

This is a Morelia viridis, or green tree python. It’s… that’s a heckin’ blaster skull.

Look at teeth, the size of the eye socket, the heckin’ bifurcated lower jaw. Add a laser and ‘tada’, gaster blaster.

So that got me thinking. If Sans or Papyrus ever did transform into some sort of blaster beastie, they wouldn’t be draconic, they’d be serpentine, and if their skulls stayed relatively the same size, you’re looking at skelebro beasts that are at least 50ft (15.24m) long and 3ft (.9m) wide, if not larger. That’s bigger than the extinct Titanoboa, folks. They’d be massive. (And that’s if their heads didn’t grow exponentially larger to match the actual gaster blasters!)

Like… just look at ‘em! I sketched off a rough Papyrus and Sans based on a tree boa and you guysssss, it works so well!

Just imagine the rasp of ribs against the rock, the hiss and whine of a laser illuminating them in the dark as they sway above you on a sinuous, coiling body so long you can’t even see the end of it through the shadow and glare of plasma magic. Imagine fighting something fluid as water and fast as a whipcrack and longer than a school bus. They’d be glorious and they’d be terrifying.

And hell, don’t even get me started on how perfectly Sans and Papyrus’ blue magic fits with snakes! They’re just- augh, I have so many thoughts you guys. XD

Thanks for reading and feel free to send your own questions or theories!
