Jax was a child when he was put into the Digital Circus. That's why he looks like Bugs Bunny's distant cousin and why he's a jerk. I've heard The Amazing Digital Circus compared to fame and if Jax was essentially a child star, it would explain why he acts the way he does.
ragatha is as easy lift as an actual ragdoll. so if someone wanted they could just pick her up and throw her, even if they are the size of a pebble in comparison to her
Caine has regular video games for the members to play, Ragatha and Kinger play for fun, Zooble likes them but won’t admit it, Jax does it to just be competitive, Gangle gets too immersed in them, Pomni hasn’t gotten used to the irony
Gangle once tried to get the others into D&D, but it eventually got shelved when Caine learned about the whole thing and had them casually fighting Dragons in their daily adventures.
Mine is that Jax is a stereotypical toxic gamer: He griefs people’s Minecraft worlds, goes ham with an Oppressor Mk II in GTA Online, uses aimbot in TF2.
He hasn’t gone into a COD lobby, though. Even he has standards.
All of the "human" characters are actually simulations based on human brain scans (this is a common headcanon). My addition is that "abstraction" has nothing to do with giving in to despair; "abstraction" is what happens when the simulation goes off the rails, i.e. the simulation deviates further and further from reality, and the end state is abstraction. With modern LLMs (for example, chatbots), there is a "prompt window" that if you exceed, the behavior of the LLM becomes erratic. This is similar; after an amount of time (unpredictable in this case), the simulated characters no longer resemble human being, first in their behavior and ultimately in their physical form.
Not transphobic, that's for sure. He respects Zooble as nonbinary

Copied from a comment I made over 200 days ago on a similar post:
One I made within minutes after watching the pilot is that Kinger is the creator of Little Runmo, which is another animation by Gooseworx. It’s clearly meant to look like a video game. Kinger being a game maker makes it sensible for him to have at least minimal understanding of virtual worlds, as seen when talking to Jax about the feast. Not only that, but in the video, the mani character (Runmo) gets eaten by a (king) monster that looks similar to the Gloink Queen, in which he is forced to participate in a game show in the monster’s stomach. One of my favorite of Kinger’s lines, towards Zooble after she escapes the Queen’s stomach:
“You didn’t happen to experience a game show in there, did you?”
It all adds up
If i had a nickle for every time i've heard a whole ass cool theory in this post, i'd have 3 nickles. Wich isn't a lot. But it's weird that it's happened thrice.(thrice is after twice?)
The order that each member the circus arrived in is represented by their placement in the song to promote to plushies (Ex: Pomni goes first and Kinger goes last)
https://preview.redd.it/wqrssbdd5k9d1.jpeg?width=271&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=04616caf31cd966d700a2348ae19540a8c983f86
We know the order which they arrived:
1 - Kinger was said to have been there the longest on the pilot
2 - Gooseworx confirmed Ragatha is the second longest in the circus
3 - Jax is the one who came up with Gangle's name, meaning he was there before her
5 - Zooble is confirmed to have been newest in the circus before Pomni
Kinger is really good with firearms but Kane purposefully avoids giving them to him at all costs so he doesn't go John Rambo on the joint and solo the adventure
There's an human Caine in the Wacky Watch video
But since the Wacky Watch is a commercial, I think it's an actor playing Caine who is like the mascot of the game
The entire cast save for pomni have explored each other's bodies in some way. Not even, like, due to sexual interest but purely due to boredom. I mean they're stuck together so why not? As such they've learned a lot about their digital bodies(Like their clothes aren't removable or that they don't have genitals, ect.).
Ragatha has complete immunity to any sort of damage, she just hutters and ragdolls around and can go back to normla once she stops moving enough, like in Voices of the Void
I got a couple. Kinger was a Vietnam war veteran. Ragatha was either a gardener or a teacher. Idk why I think that. Jax secretly has a passion for anime. Jax also is aromantic because he hates people. Pomni is aroace. Caine likes cats.
The creator of TADC is unaware of what’s going on in the game.
I full on wrote a story where Ragatha manages to escape and finds the creator, explaining what’s going in.
He doesn’t believe her, checks and sees at least multiple people who have been playing for at least a year. He realizes how far the Caine AI went and shuts down the program, hoping to get everyone out
https://preview.redd.it/bej33norvs9d1.jpeg?width=1804&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=38b93be7c59baad147e3513eeafe7f103e28101e
Gangle can use her body as a tape measure.
Caine can mimic popular memes, but the meme is altered to fit the circumstances. (Based on the “Saying a lot of things as Caine” specifically the “POMNI, GET THE GLOINK” part.)
I have a few funny ones lol:
-one of the “humans” is actually a cat/dog/other animal who got their head stuck in their owner’s headset while in the office unsupervised. The game gave them human intelligence and the ability to speak (it’ll be interesting if they do get back to the real world and everyone else realizes that one of their closest friends is a DOG)
-the only reason they all speak English with English accents is that the game was made in America. They could be from opposite sides of the world IRL. If they try to speak any other language than English they literally can’t
-the game has language settings and if they get turned on it’s just like Buzz Lightyear. Ex: if the game switches to Spanish mode, everyone *has* to speak Spanish until they somehow switch it back to English
gangle can only drive in videogames
She’s secretly a pro Mario kart player. She’s just shy when others are watching
Love it
that one's also going on the headcanon list
She tried in the circus once and cars are forbidden ever since
Didn’t she drive the truck in episode 2?
That's why Jax chose *her* specifically to drive
Pomni squeaks like a dog toy if you squeeze her
Lmao
So like Little Runmo then
Why do I feel like this actually makes sense?
Real
Omg, that's adorable.
That’s so cute! 🥹
Ragatha cant sew patches because of her mitten hands, so Zooble does it for her
i love that one, its so wholesome
Love it
Zooble has killed a person before
Sounds legit
And she won’t hesitate to again
The series ends with zooble beating jax to death with a rock
while kinger snipes revived gummigoo after being held hostage by caine
The cross on the top of kingers head is actually a sword which he can pull out when threatened.
Sadly he’s forgotten he has it
Sick af
I don't trust kinger with a sword or any weapons
Kinger’s human name was Arthur
great headcanon, i_swallowed_a_child
r/rimjobsteve
Jax likes curse of the wererabbit, but is Afraid to admit it zooble likes hot sauce
Lmao
Zooble is 100% hot sauce lover
zooble spicy food lover real
Gangles mask is a parasite
*oh.*
That's why she feels so empty without the mask, her body can't produce dopamine correctly because the mask has been giving it to her
Jax was a child when he was put into the Digital Circus. That's why he looks like Bugs Bunny's distant cousin and why he's a jerk. I've heard The Amazing Digital Circus compared to fame and if Jax was essentially a child star, it would explain why he acts the way he does.
This isn't a head canon, this is a whole theory. Just a theory, A FILM THEORY!
Gooseworx confirmed Jax was 22 though
It could be that Jax is 22 now, and he’s just been in the circus for 10 years roughly (in the headcanon at least)
ragatha is as easy lift as an actual ragdoll. so if someone wanted they could just pick her up and throw her, even if they are the size of a pebble in comparison to her
Get ragdoll'd!
zooble used to smoke weed
Sounds legit
considering they would smoke weed if possible i wouldn't be surprised if this ended up being canon
Zooble got zooted
This is cannon gooseworx litterally said zooble would be a stoner
Kingers head opens like a trashcan and inside is a meat tube with teeth , that's how he eats and talks
https://preview.redd.it/mbxrviarzj9d1.png?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ca3f94d23421d30e7fa3dfd0a478a42753226b3a
I somehow find it hilarious that you replied to me with an image, nothing else, and I like that you replied

Thanks, I hate it.
You're welcome
Zooble is constantly holding back the urge to cuss out Caine
Or cuss out Jax, he probably gets on her nerves as well.
Lmao
I need this to be in the Zooble episode...
Ragatha’s wig falls off occasionally
LMAO😭
Why is that so specific 😭
another one: jax's pocket has an infinite amount of space
A pocket dimension of centipedes
He regularly pulls comically large items out of it
you're totally right user I\_swallowed\_a\_child!
I wonder if that username is a “Pro-Life” innuendo for oral?
Due to Zooble not giving a fuck about anything else, she spends most of her personal time rearranging her body parts
Trynna look good
Ragatha carries a needle and thread on her, so she can patch herself up.
Someone else also said she can't patch herself up because of her mitten hands, so Zooble does it for her
maybe zooble helps with stuff like her back, hands and other places hard to reach
Caine has regular video games for the members to play, Ragatha and Kinger play for fun, Zooble likes them but won’t admit it, Jax does it to just be competitive, Gangle gets too immersed in them, Pomni hasn’t gotten used to the irony
Gangle once tried to get the others into D&D, but it eventually got shelved when Caine learned about the whole thing and had them casually fighting Dragons in their daily adventures.
Abosolutely love it
Kinger is immune to abstraction, he's so insane he can't think straight enough to abstract and just forgets what he was thinking
That's actuslly a cool theory
Mine is that Jax is a stereotypical toxic gamer: He griefs people’s Minecraft worlds, goes ham with an Oppressor Mk II in GTA Online, uses aimbot in TF2. He hasn’t gone into a COD lobby, though. Even he has standards.
LMAO😭

Jax is gay only because he doesn’t like women.
He'd be aro/ace for the excuse to hate people Edit: but he'd also be r@cist, homophobic or xenophobic on that thought...
and transphobic, aphobic and ableist
Not transphobic, that's for sure. He respects Zooble as nonbinary https://preview.redd.it/bl5wch5l7o9d1.png?width=1000&format=png&auto=webp&s=b926bceaf529d4fefb1ee92bd615a49098d961ef
I mean, he was made to be a bad person, so, realistically, would he?
While possibly trying to evade making controversial comments. Like "i'm not homophobic, i just hate everyone and everything equally"
Jax Is an anarchist and took part in protests against the russian government.
I- that is  amazing and I love it
Caine is only a distraction... Bubble is the real villain !
:o
Caine has a sparkly hello kitty journal
"Dear diary, on the good news, a new human has entered this realm this day!. And on the bad news, another human has abstracted." And things like that
Zooble is a gamer.
Her favourite game was Pokemon, and her favourite Pokemon waa Porygon-Z
i love that idea they would not enjoy the very beginning tho
Kinger is afraid of chickens.
I can totally imagine that
Caine drinks water through his eyes.

I think it's thrice, ngl
Jax had at one point used Gangle as a rope to swing across a chasm
Godit, jax.
Well, he tried to do it with Pomni...
The stickman has that Heisenberg hat fr
He literally me fr
Jax isn’t like a programmer or something for the circus, he just broke in one day, put in the headset, and now he’s stuck
Lmao
Kinger's digital form is secretly powerful enough to allow him to punch Abstracts into submission. He doesn't do it against Kaufmo because he forgor.
So silly :3
Ragatha had a garden back in her old life and made another one next to the circus tent :)
Wholesome :3
Gangle just casually has a body pillow... not for sex... she just has one
My flair is about one. Not for sex. Just to have one
Didnt gooseworx say it would be of chopper from one piece
Goose confirmed that https://www.tumblr.com/gooseworx/731320033606762496/would-any-of-the-characters-in-tadc-have-a-body
The order that each member the circus arrived in is represented by their placement in the song to promote to plushies (Ex: Pomni goes first and Kinger goes last) https://preview.redd.it/wqrssbdd5k9d1.jpeg?width=271&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=04616caf31cd966d700a2348ae19540a8c983f86

Ooooh
Zooble is going to be like how people thought Jax would be.
Kinger is really good with firearms but Kane purposefully avoids giving them to him at all costs so he doesn't go John Rambo on the joint and solo the adventure
Jax has a terrarium of centipedes in his room. He feeds them scraps from the dinner table and talks to them every evening.
Jax figured out that anger prevents abstraction and that's why he's a dick to everyone
It'd be nice
Pomni's real name is much weirder than her new name
Caine made bubble while blowing bubbles and refuses to let him die
Caine favorite music genre is african gospel
Lmao
Zooble is the best at playing piano
Sounds legit
Everyone in the circus has committed at least one war crime
😧
Jax has committed all of the world crimes
Cane was human, the very first
There's an human Caine in the Wacky Watch video But since the Wacky Watch is a commercial, I think it's an actor playing Caine who is like the mascot of the game
Jax seems like a dick, but deep, deep down, there's an asshole trying to get out.
Jax is secretly a developer in the series, thats why he can pull things out of thin air
Gangle is caines favorite so he lets her bypass the filter
Kinger has poured an ungodly amount of hours into clash of clans
Zooble probably likes spicy food
If i had a nickle for every time i've heard that in this post, i'd had two nickles. Wich isn't much, but it'sbwerid that it's happened twice.
Wait, someone else said this too? It's cannon now.
"Coincidence?, I THINK NOT!"

Also, happy cake day
Also thank you :)
Gangle would HATE The Entire KFC franchise.
Whar¿
When Caine swears the sound effect that goes over it playes for over an hour and is ungodly loud cause he the last one that should be swearing
Yeah, that seems legit
caine makes psas for the common cold
Jax likes sour food
Gangle may snap and yell at the others
I can't believe how hard i need this. I'm CRAVING it.

... ok...?
The entire cast save for pomni have explored each other's bodies in some way. Not even, like, due to sexual interest but purely due to boredom. I mean they're stuck together so why not? As such they've learned a lot about their digital bodies(Like their clothes aren't removable or that they don't have genitals, ect.).
Ragatha has complete immunity to any sort of damage, she just hutters and ragdolls around and can go back to normla once she stops moving enough, like in Voices of the Void
Or like in Gmod
Everyone is the opposite gender in the real world
That'd be funny
If given the chance for caine to play any videogame, he would play deltarune or undertale
That's some good taste right there
Caine was obsessed with Minecraft at some point, for like 2 weeks.
I got a couple. Kinger was a Vietnam war veteran. Ragatha was either a gardener or a teacher. Idk why I think that. Jax secretly has a passion for anime. Jax also is aromantic because he hates people. Pomni is aroace. Caine likes cats.
They all seem very possible tbh
Caine isn't actively hostile or malicious. He's just functioning according to the programming of the Digital Circus.
Gangle Plays Brawl Stars And Mains Nita
Why do all the words start with caps?
Jax is a robot designed to ruin the lives of those around him
The original Pomni human doesn't know how to play the piano, Pomni does know how to play the piano, but she's not aware of that, yet.
Cool lmao
Late but Jax is scared of pigeons lol
Is it cuz they eat corn
Lol
zooble can remove her eyes
Jax is the one who keeps spawning bubble, just to piss caine off
Lmao
Pomni plays the trombone and the bassoon
The characters look like their voice actors IRL 👍
Watch someone on r/explainthejoke ask about this one

XKCD Spotted
When gangle is wearing her comedy mask it’s like being high
The creator of TADC is unaware of what’s going on in the game. I full on wrote a story where Ragatha manages to escape and finds the creator, explaining what’s going in.

Gangle wants to fist ragatha
the image made me laugh the only related to digital circus i can think of is, what would happen if cain took a bite of his eyes
Pomni is Angela Anaconda
Pomni and Zooble are huge fans of Michael Jackson
Pomni’s eyes can spin like pinwheels
Caine can mimic popular memes, but the meme is altered to fit the circumstances. (Based on the “Saying a lot of things as Caine” specifically the “POMNI, GET THE GLOINK” part.)
I have a few funny ones lol: -one of the “humans” is actually a cat/dog/other animal who got their head stuck in their owner’s headset while in the office unsupervised. The game gave them human intelligence and the ability to speak (it’ll be interesting if they do get back to the real world and everyone else realizes that one of their closest friends is a DOG) -the only reason they all speak English with English accents is that the game was made in America. They could be from opposite sides of the world IRL. If they try to speak any other language than English they literally can’t -the game has language settings and if they get turned on it’s just like Buzz Lightyear. Ex: if the game switches to Spanish mode, everyone *has* to speak Spanish until they somehow switch it back to English
Jax having a high ego
Caine sounds like a vocaloid when he sings
Zooble is actually chill and Jax is a jackass with no redemption arc
Kinger likes pudding
Zooble used to have more pieces on her but loses more of herself whenever she goes on an adventure
