From the Desk of A.C. Elmore

In theory, even though there’s now limits to what he can do, caine is just as good at conjuring as he was when he was the ringmaster. The reason he can’t conjure things like he used to is because he either can’t think of anything to conjure, or has no drive to do so. Both reasons are due to the stress of being in a new ish environment, his mental health issues and him overworking himself to the point of burnout

If we're all posting our old Atla art I might just as well post the drawings of the final Avatars i did.

[End]

I couldn't get the idea for this comic out of my head- so I ended up drawing 28 panels in 3 days... (Orignally planned out to only be 12 Panels long, but I really wanted it to feel less rushed WHICH IT IS-- but I'm limited to 30 files so I had to wrap it up)

This AU belongs to @ ctrl-alt-del-au, and it is an au I love and cherish- and I couldn't wait for their comic to reach to ep 5 mark for the bar adventure- so I made my own version-! (I'm patiently waiting for that canon comic >:) Can't wait to see that one) And of course, I heard that this au's Jax makes fun of Caine b'cus he thinks that he's neurodivergent, and I just made that roll for the entire comic >:)

ABSOLUTE CINEMA

Their names are Delilah, Nicole, and Kat.

These three are a part of my take on Channel-Tans, where it's less "cute girls doing cute things" and more "thriller involving immortal beings that fight for control of the planet and its also a commentary on the decay of television and the corporations behind those channels"

(they personify Disney Channel, Nickelodeon, and Cartoon Network)

Man, this is such a cool concept! I usually only accept 2 but wow, I just had to do all three of them. I wanted to include references that people who tuned into these channels might catch!

Your art is very cool and your twist on channel-tans is also really unique! I may be a little biased but I really like the Nickelodeon girl, she’s exactly what I imagine a human nick design to look like! :]

Lucille : the ratings witch, Ruth : the laugh track witch, & Beulah : the graveyard slot witch

These look so cool!

So cool in fact that I did fanart of them!

Or what if Kinger managed to change Caine's code, but to do so he had to feed his ass the players' neuroscans so he could understand the full extent of their suffering lol

I love giving AI humans problems 😇

I wanted to test myself with drawing food, which was out of my comfort zone with art, so hope it looks good

(Note: The plate is not accurate to the size of the food, I just like the background I made for these)

Caine shows her Gammigoo, something/someone she liked from his adventures.

"You have a fragile ego"

Caine shows them tons of details he created for them and a bunch of mirrors, with the message that they always think only about themselves and don't consider the state of others, that they are constantly unsatisfied with everything he does for them.

"You never let us feel like we're at home"

Caine showed her what HOME was like.

"You discourage us from doing things our own way"

Caine shows her what happened when she did everything her way.

She changed masks and threw herself under a truck.

"You lie to us constantly"

Cain shows him how he himself constantly lies to everyone about his own feelings and how he hides behind the mask of a “cartoon character”.

"You never listen"

And Caine shows them that he really LISTENS.

He shows them that they're in the wrong here.

So why do they torment HIM and never listen to HIM, when he does more than everything for them to make them happy?

Why can't they just appreciate his hard work?

He's not just torturing them.

By showing them all this, he tries to prove to himself and to them that their words sound illogical and go against reality.

That he LISTENS.

That he KNOWS.

That they do this to THEMSELVES.

Tell me what do you think about this theory in the comments!👍🏻✨
