Tadc Headcanon - Blog Posts

another day, another zooble headcanon.

so. MU👏SIC👏

so zooble is the kind of person who always has their earbuds in at full volume - working, driving, sleeping, whatever. They got a lot of headaches, but that's the price you pay to not have to listen to annoying people.

That's the second thing they miss most about the real world, (other than their new body) real music. Not the annoying background music that plays on loop all the time in the circus (another headcanon of mine.)

they listen to a lot of punk and rock music, y'know the kind you feel like screaming to. I also imagine them listening to some indie stuff, like marina and mother mother.

Though I wonder… what personalities do they have outside of the programming Caine left behind? I headcanon these guys meeting Ringmaster Pomni and they finally get to talk to someone about their real feelings without their programming taking hold of them.

Thank you so much! I had a lot of fun with figuring out their designs. As for how they'd act outside of the code I could take a few guesses.

Jax - Probably might try and fool himself into thinking it doesn't bother him at first, but as the days continue by with no hope of control over himself he'll start to get frustrated and upset. Of course, these emotions don't bubble up until he's sure that he's alone. Wouldn't want anyone to see that this is actually affecting him, after all. Not that anyone would care, after being taken over by the ringmaster's code he quickly noticed that none of the other people seemed to be too concerned about it.

Ragatha - Probably the opposite of Jax. At first, she's very torn up (heh) about what happened. She probably didn't even mean to hurt Caine or maybe she thought that if she did it might've created a way out. When the AI started taking over her being she was devastated, but after finding out that most of the circus-goers (aside from Jax) were concerned about her well-being it somehow comforted her in a bittersweet way. She then tried her best to adapt into her new ringmaster role in order to make everyone happy. After all, as long as they're happy, she's happy... right?

Gangle - The manic mask won't come off. No matter what she tries it won't come off. At the beginning, she's terrified, always shivering and crying, praying that this nightmare would end soon. But as the days continue she slowly begins to lose bits and pieces of herself until she's molded herself into what she deems as the perfect ringmaster. It'd ruin her if someone were to say that they didn't like her adventures. Even with that indestructible mask permanently fixed to her face her psyche is still so fragile, there's no telling what would happen if it were to break.

Zooble - They were already an individual trapped inside a body that they weren't comfortable with, but now they're trapped inside a mind that they don't like either. They hate it, they hate all of it! Their body, their loss of self, their stupid adventures, the ringmaster code itself, this entire stupid game, ALL OF IT! To the point that it's overwhelming, to the point that it's exhausting. They're exhausted, miserable, and most of all angry.

Kinger - He's probably the least aware whenever the AI takes over. Probably experiences it like passing out and waking up in another room. It scares him at first, he doesn't know what's going on and it confuses him. But he's already lost so much of himself at the circus that it doesn't take long for the AI to almost completely take over. Only in complete darkness are there little glints of who he once was. He might recall a memory or two, sputtering gibberish about wives and bugs.

Oh, yeah, I love this character! *PROJECTS ONTO THEM* *PROJECTS ONTO THEM* *PROJECTS ONTO THEM* *PROJECTS ONTO THEM* *PROJECTS ONTO THEM* *PROJECTS ONTO THEM* *PROJECTS ONTO THEM* *PROJECTS ONTO THEM* *PROJECTS ONTO THEM* *PROJECTS ONTO THEM* *PROJECTS ONTO TH-

I've seen a plethora of Jax HCs centered around on his sexuality And I wanted to put my own HC out in the ring for public eye Since the pilot dropped, I've always seen him as aromantic, jury's out for asexual, but he always struck me as aromantic The way he flirts and makes innuendos with everyone around him reminds me of how me and my friends(who are majority aroace) all make non-stop flirty or sexual jokes with each other And I'm pretty sure Jax has some sense of care for the other circus members in a way that he could see this as playing around with people "close" to him Or, flipped on it's head(and this one I lean more towards), his continuous flirting is him not accepting how he hasn't felt romantic attraction in the same way people or media describes it, Jax does seem to have some kind of problem with accepting the way he feels so him not accepting a concept like that as part of himself is possible Maybe I'm stretching it, or just projecting too hard, but I like my HC of Jax being a romance-repulsed aromantic, like me!
