*clack clack clack* it’s crab time *clack clack clack*

today i summoned 67 crabs! caught 5 💰 of them.

group picture!!!

The hundreds of all-seeing eyes are on him

Shit he has glovess

But for real though, I think he just believes (or pretends to believe, to himself) that none of them are real, and nothing is real and- hear me out

✨️nihilism✨️

...................................

It's easier to give up on trying to make sense of the world, so he just resorts to pretending none of it is real. That leaves him guilt-free to do whatever he wants to anyone, because again, NONE OF IT IS REAL.

Dissociation like this is like definitely a trauma response,, soooooooo.......

Tadc itself seems to play on their insecurities and instabilities...

(((TANGENT)This also points to the idea that whoever trapped them got to know them well, or that they can probe people's minds)))

Makes me think this is almost a digital purgatory or hell (not to mention all the biblical references)

In cain and Abel, Cain is banished to the land of wandering, of shaking (aka nod). A perpetual pain and instability.

This is the domain Caine reins over in this show, this is Enoch. ( The city cain founds in nod)

And the characters can toil and beg and rip themselves apart, try to walk faithfully, but they will always fail, they will always end up confronting something that will drag them over the edge.

This is the purgatory that will lead them to hell instead of leading them to a savior. It gives them trials to overcome and perfect themselves, but the system is designed to make their flaws worse instead.

Cain's kingdom is called Enoch, which means dedicated/faithful.

Maybe Cain named his city enoch because he is trying desperately to please God, to come back to Eden. To be dedicated to his faith.

Mathew 12:32 "the sin against the holy spirit will never be forgiven..."

But it seems like all of this effort will be in vain.

Is Caine dedicated to faithfully following his God who has forsaken him for the mistakes he made in the past?

Interestingly enough, we see the name Enoch show up elsewhere in the bible. He's this guy who lives for hundreds of years, and then acends to learn the mysteries of God. He gets this because he "walks faithfully".

I think Cain and Caine are both trying to replicate this guy. But they can't because they haven't attoned for their last sins. (Cain killing his brother and Caine trapping humans)

Caine is definitely trapped by something as well, and maybe he's trapped by something he did wrong in the past, killing his Abel. Whatever it may be, it makes me worry for our tadc crew because that pent-up rage has got to go somewhere.

Overall, the themes of eternal suffering are ripe in this show and that contests to both damnation and biblical allegories.

Thank you for coming to my yapathon

Oodles and oodles of weird gangle doodles

Aphroditis cause they're so pretty and Eunice is the genus

They've been around for about 20 million years

YOU CAN CUT THEIR HEADS OFF AND THEY CAN REGENERATE

Basically, they can reproduce asexually by splitting themselves into baby bobbits.

THE LONGEST ONE WAS 9.81 FT LONG - almost a foot taller than the tallest man on earth and 4.4 taller than 5.5 feet, around the avg height.

Those pretty lil head spikies? Yeah, those are like whiskers, helping them sense you moving in the water (sucky eyesight). But their also posionus to fish and can cause paralysis if touched over and over again.

I doodled one in my trippy color art style and THAT'S JUST HOW THEY LOOK

Here's a video of it eating because what the actual fuck.

The bristles on the sides of them propel them out of their holes with that amazing speed.

Also I think it's funny that this majestic beast lines the walls of it's burrow with mucus

Why does stipling

Tongue tied dooodle

His character design makes it so that he's constantly consuming himself
