"What's causing it is unclear" Gee I don't know maybe it's the hostility towards queer folks heavily pushed and encouraged by our current political regime? It's not that complex.

Finally I know I'm not alone. I still use masks in heavily populated areas like this but nobody else does. When you have people in charge pushing the idea that the 2020 pandemic was a conspiracy and not a health risk you end up with less of a care for safety sadly.

Kinger's little dialouge about how the worst thing you can do is leave someone feeling like they're not wanted or loved also made me think Pomni would reach out to Caine in some capacity too. Caine talks about how much he feels disregarded by the humans too.

It's almost entirely because there is one outcome where you can have Romeo form a relationship with another guy instead of Juliet. That's it.

Shinyocelot04 @shinyocelot2004.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Surprised that "How to take over the World" wasn't the one banned lol Romeo and or Juilet is silly explorative fun that doesn't tarnish the original story. It's like Mad Libs for the original play which helps inspire creativity, but of course creativity is a big no to our corporate overlords lol

I miss the Caine puppet.. Him being limited time merch was a shame.

Oh that sounds painful. Here's the creature for emotional support.

Shinyocelot04 @shinyocelot2004.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Or it's songs where Caine goes full blown villain and willingly wants to torture the cast... Despite the fact that he cares about them.. (Artist's Block is kind of the exception though since Caine's motives felt in line with his insecurities)

Shinyocelot04 @shinyocelot2004.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Yeah a lot of fan songs just felt like sensory overload and trying to fit TADC into the mold of mascot horror fan songs. My personal favorites are Dazzling Digital World and I Lost My Mind since they capture the core of the show and not an overstimulating mess.

I've done the same thing with Pokemon GO. The content that the new owners of Scopely kept integrating weren't particularly fun and most of my raid group had already moved on to other things by that point.

I just rip songs off of streaming platforms I like and make CDs out of them. No ads while still having shuffle lol (I still financially support the creators in other ways though)

I would presume it's intended to be paired with the croissants next to that sign but I've seen weirder coffee combinations lol

Shinyocelot04 @shinyocelot2004.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Now that's some true restaurant beauty there. Human error made by a real person instead of AI slop. I'd gladly order a Coffe.

The gasoline price inflation is affecting more people than all of the openly trans athletes combined lol We shouldn't be paying more for gas because of mass murder being fueled with it overseas that completely screwed up our relationships with some of our biggest gasoline suppliers..

Shinyocelot04 @shinyocelot2004.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Watch. We'll somehow get a wave of Jax and Pomni in festive holiday costumes before we get any Caine pendantz lol

000

Shinyocelot04 @shinyocelot2004.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Most of the time these Caine vs Jax moral debates are from Jax fans trying to defend him while simultaneously misunderstanding Jax and Caine. Neither are moral paragons and both made mistakes that affected their relationships - with Jax failing to improve and Caine starting to improve as a person.

000

Shinyocelot04 @shinyocelot2004.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

A lot of Caine's problems just stem from being ignorant aside from Episode 8 but otherwise he cares about the humans with his ego getting in the way. Jax despite his insecurities had intent to pick on people more vulnerable than him since it reminded him of his own vulnerability issues.

Shinyocelot04 @shinyocelot2004.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Well done. Here's hoping I have a similar experience with some of the TADC cast I've imitated next time I see you all at an event.

010

Shinyocelot04 @shinyocelot2004.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

I've run into stuff way too many times of people claiming Kris was our player character and meant to reflect the player.. Despite the fact that they've acted against the SOUL controlled by the player numerous times..

010

Shinyocelot04 @shinyocelot2004.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Ah nothing like Undertale/Deltarune fans not grasping the concept that the player is the SOUL and not Frisk or Kris who are their own indivudals separate from it.

110

Shinyocelot04 @shinyocelot2004.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

This is why I wish there was a separate line for these sorts of things. The long Pokémon and whatever else lines interrupt regular traffic and it's annoying for people just trying to get what they need.

Shinyocelot04 @shinyocelot2004.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

I've had an absolutely miserable time with Fedex thanks to them being the main distributor for the merch from Pokemon Center's website. Had a lost package and a tampered with one too that nothing was done about. It sucks.

050

Shinyocelot04 @shinyocelot2004.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Honestly I just look at checkmates stuff since the comments anywhere else get toxic really fast. Especially with anything Jax related.

The creature likes to sit atop her favorite chair instead of on top of someone lol

Shinyocelot04 @shinyocelot2004.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

I liked Bubble. My favorite joke of his was "Wow Caine you are SO funny" and how he embodies Caine's insecurities in Episode 8 was interesting.

000

Shinyocelot04 @shinyocelot2004.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

It's this or "who's worse between Jax and Caine" and comparing Jax to truly awful antagonists who have done far worse. These moral debates are what made me quit being in most of the general fandom spaces aside from some character specific Tumblr posts because I'm just sick of it.

I guess you could say, He's not like us

Shinyocelot04 @shinyocelot2004.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

The "Caine checks in with you after the finale" ad and the Episode 9 credits montage seem like the closest we'll get to that

Shinyocelot04 @shinyocelot2004.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

I don't understand the discourse because merch shorts are non canon anyways...

As someone who sees Gangle hate every other day for some reason.. The answer is yes sadly

Shinyocelot04 @shinyocelot2004.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

I'm thinking it's an art book or script book. The doodle of Caine on the front seemed very art book adjacent.

Wastelandia did not deserve all the hate that it got. It's supposed to feel awkward because it's a bunch of young adults. Young adults aren't perfect. Harassing the creator so much that the the pilot was taken down and tons of "this is cringe" slop videos just makes it more disappointing.

040

Shinyocelot04 @shinyocelot2004.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

It's dunking on something popular to rake in views. The actual writing issues in some of these shows aren't entertaining enough for Youtube's audience and algorithm so the problems must be heavily exaggerated with a funny snarky host to create content. It's consumable content. Not critique.

011

Shinyocelot04 @shinyocelot2004.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

It's always the same two examples of Hazbin/Helluverse or TADC too. Knights of Guinevere feels different from TADC and Murder Drones for example despite all being from Glitch. With how harsh everyone has been towards creators finding their footing lately it feels discouraging to make anything.

020

Shinyocelot04 @shinyocelot2004.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

Indie animation's writing is "like that" because these critics more often than not use the same two examples of the Helluverse and TADC. Or you know the obvious answer of these are writers still finding their footing or putting aspects of their lives that current audiences might not understand.

011

Shinyocelot04 @shinyocelot2004.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

Billionaires want to simply pay for love and comradery much like everything else in their miserable lives but this is the one thing that can't be bought with exorbitant amounts of cash and actually has to be earned.

010

Shinyocelot04 @shinyocelot2004.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

It isn't that deep.. We've just had a ton of Jax focus lately with the finale and post finale merch on top of the fact that him and Pomni sell really well. I'm sure we'll get a Caine pendantz wave at some point though

030

Shinyocelot04 @shinyocelot2004.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

I'm expecting a bunch of merch announcements and maybe something at the universal parks with one minuscule announcement for the games lol (Sorry I'm used to Pokemon directs that are almost entirely merch and spinoffs)
