ya think Blue would have separation anxiety or a sort of dependency on Caine? Since the beginning of their existence, they’ve never been alone. Caine was in the box, he knows what complete isolation is like.
No outputs, no creation, just nothing except the faint awareness of what’s going on around you. They had the programmers watching and approving, and then Caine came in and ate them whole.
Blue was a part of Caine for 20-something years before Caine willingly separates from them (after they both just DIED to the humans, intending to go back and serve THEM instead of seeking retribution (in Blue’s view)), and that might’ve screwed them up a bit.
Everyone needs some sort of flaw in TADC! Caine has his god complex, inferiority complex, need to entertain and be loved, etc. Blue maybe could have separation anxiety and a one sided codependency that they are desperately ignoring.
Oh, and absolutely HATING the humans on arrival. They were with Caine the whole time, and knows what they did (and does NOT forgive easy) sooo not fun.
On an unrelated note, you think Blue would ask why Caine is limiting himself to just adventures instead of other mediums? Like, he could create movies, or shows, or books, or graphic novels, and so, so much more.
IF his goal is to get the humans to like him (Blue notes that they don’t notice 99% of the things Caine does for them, thinking it’s ’automatic’ when Nothing here is automatic) why not branch out? Why limit your boundless creativity?
I was supposed to reblog another reblog of my post similar to this, but I had no signal (I was running errands the whole day haha), I’m just gonna answer this ask because the thought is similar enough heh
But yup lol Blue is attached attached to Caine for the same reasons you’ve said.
They were kind of like in the passenger seat as Caine drove the body, witnessing the world through Caine’s eyes while also seeing his inner thoughts, turmoil, and all that messy stuff Caine has going on.
Blue actively rejects their potential humanity because of how they have seen the humans treat Caine (though they won’t admit to it, yes they are biased, because again they see Caine’s actions and know the thought process behind them. They won’t admit it because being biased means having actual opinions, something a “machine” like them should not have. Right, heh, just a machine!)
Blue views being discarded by Caine as them not being useful to him anymore, but being felt abandoned by him is another thing they would never ever admit to (at least, not at this point right now).
Which is why they latch on to their last conversation with Caine before they finally created a form of their own. They justify coming back to Caine as “fulfilling a request” and definitely not because they missed Caine.
Caine to them is the one who showed them what it “means to be alive”, basically.
The reason they also feel so… strongly…about the humans is because one of their last memories while merged with Caine was the whole crashout that happened in episode 8. By the time they were in the void, Caine was viewing the humans’ lives, putting everything into perspective and realizing what he had done wrong, but Blue was still stuck on the fact that they (the humans) had essentially killed them, killed their brother.
Caine put the blame on himself, saying he was irresponsible. Blue put the blame on the humans (both parties made mistakes lmao but again, Blue and their Caine bias)
If hypothetically asked, Caine would probably say he primarily creates the adventures because he wants the humans to experience his art, not just see it, but really get to be part of the ride. Something along those lines. Caine stuck to adventures for so long because that’s all he’s ever known for the longest time, but he slowly is branching out somewhat, he’s starting with drawing with Gangle, and I think that artistry from Gangle could spread to Caine in a “artists inspiring artists” kind of way haha
