I was thinking about digital bodies as a Metaphor and drew this. "I saw the circus glow?" "Despite everything, it's still you?"
#tadc#the amazing digital circus#the amazing digital circus spoilers#I generally write caine and zooble's dynamic as like. similar to the one zooble has with jax#an out LGBT person who's just started to find meaning in life by helping other people find community#& to recognize the huge value they can have to a few people even if they don't change the world#vs some loser freak whose entire identity has been 'performing a hollow caricature that does not make them happy'#'because they're terrified of how the world will punish them for their authentic selves'#anyway. I cant be the only one reading Amazing Digital Transgender Symbolism into teethguy digitalcircus#so this comic was partially inspired by the way that Caine is often uh. very cavalier about playing with the humans' bodies#assigning them bodies he thinks are right for them.#dressing them in new outfits all the time like they're his little dolls.#even turning them into animals or w/e when the Adventure calls for it. telling Zooble their body is Great and Cool.#adding his 'temporary modifiers' to their brains. and throwing them into situations where their bodies get all messed up/distorted.#but he does..... very little to his own ringmaster body after creating it? it seems the same as it was in the flashback to 20 years ago#he briefly changes into a Glittery black version of the same outfit when he has his amazing digital mental breakdown#but otherwise his form only changes dramatically against his will [when he's having a crashout or glitching out].#which is interesting because it is a form [in ep 9] that he clearly slowly built himself.#but the ringmaster persona thing is something he put on in an effort to appeal to/entertain humans. anyway now I'm just rambling#tadc spoilers#caine#zooble#trans caine#[via Symbolism and Implication]#tadc fanart#tadc comic#I’ll add the Caine- Zooble tags because that’ll be of interest to those folks though this is technically platonic. queerplatonic#chatterblock#chatterbox#surpriseshow
