"The Riddle of the Hole"

Wait, i feel there’s two things/meanings behind Caine saying “put on your sunday best”. Either referring to the black shiny suit tuxedo he wears here or “sunday best” means church wear, and his next line “because i’m nowhere close to quitting!” is Caine calling himself God

He’s a God out of religion or church? Or he just initially wanted to take over the world before his redemption arc?? I also feel like he may be immortal as an ai himself so my theory is he called himself god, and he probably plans on starting some sort of cult where people worship only him and not any other god, OR UNLESS, he could think to himself he could be a “Greek goddess” and “sunday best” could possibly mean he wants to be worshipped somewhere else like maybe a garden or something rather than the church (definitely a gothic church.)

“Obviously,the show is stealing theories that theorist made from the hints the show gives us!“

1. If you ever take a look at the background at times, there are certain scenes /w teapots & paintings of teapots- i think this was done on purpose to foreshadow episode 8 or 9.

This is backed up by Caine's erratic listing of random things to Pomni in episode 1. Some people speculate that each word [sometimes two] corralated to each episode of tadc released so far and the two left to come [e.g.: "horror" ☞ episode 3].

The last thing Caine listed in his line of dialogue was "angel food cake" as he pulled the full cake out of nowhere and Bubble instantly ate whole [love Bubble].

I think there will be a tea party in episode 8 or episode 9 [maybe with some angel food cake].

2. By the by, aside from 'I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream', i think another one of Gooseworx inspos for tadc was 'The House of Leaves' e.g. Pomni venturing through endless corridors of exit doors in episode 1 while gradually going insane as well as the show's general nods to the liminal space aesthetic at times [e.g. the weirdcore ahh circus].

Either this, or i just found a random reference to the book that Gooseworx placed in episode 7: the staircase that leads the gang deeper into Caine's office 🛹💥🐒

im not too big of a fan of tadc, i personally think it could have been even more terrifying 🤷‍♂️ idk i think its just how cutesy everything is

but, let me tell you guys, i was *frothing* at the mouth /w episode 7 chat, even i cannot deny that-

from Jax's analogue horror experience & DMT trip, to the twist we [probably] all saw coming, and with kawaii Kinger-san [who may or may not have commited some warcrimes before becoming a Caine-afflicted amnesiac] just being the best character in the entirety of the show- along with Bubble of course- it was just peak cinema

i hope it gets better and better as it goes, tadc gave me high hopes with episode 3's body horror and episode 7's psychological horror, i'll tell you that

i am an absolute sucker for tadc theories- i'm on that shit 24/7- brain scan soma theories, Bubble being Able or Kinger being Able, Gangle being a past C&A employee and knows the way out or is at least getting there- here me out guys- these youtube theorists are cooking with these ideas ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

i'm feeling maybe Kinger is Able since everybody forgets their name once they enter the digital circus so it makes sence that he didn't know who Able was when Z & G let him know what they were planning in his dark pillow fort in episode 7- he was thinking clearly then. 🤷‍♂️

But Kinger's mind is pretty broken so it would make sence for him to have been brainwashedby Caine to forget important info, such as Able and what he did/was, and it ended up to just be a coincidence Goose embeded there to lead the audience on. 👑 🐂

But it would make quite a lot sence aswell if Bubble was the real Able and is secretly helping out the gang [🦐 -> 🍤, Shrimp Town] because Caine's an AI, Caine & Able- just feels like both the names are titles of the AIs used to bring the Circus to life- not one AI and a human.

i hope the best for Caine, my sweet, wired baby boy- couldn't believe how 'Able' kept highlighting Caine's suffering as a machine in the chinese room and nobody showed the least amount of sympathy- like bro, i would be fed up /w the crew too if they treated me like that💀, just couldn't handle themselves for a few seconds start of ep 6 🙏🐒

to be honest, i think Caine just really wanted to figure out if the crew actually liked him or cared about him at all with that whole episode 8 adventure

long story short, Gooseworx better have something truely horrific cooking up, from IHNMAIMS being its main insperation, on golly
