Rules

1. The Amazing Digital Circus is a place to be enjoyed by all ages

Okay, a little profanity is fine, the internet is 13+, but do keep it tame. Obviously no slurs or hate speech or anything like that. Also no NSFW/adult content.

2. Don't make me tap the signs

Let's be a good fandom. No need to get in fights over what show is better, or ship is superior, or what theory is correct, or anything like that. You don't have to agree with everything posted here and some respectful debate is fine, but don't let it get too heated. Don't like something? Ignore it and move on. Really don't like something? Downvotes to the left, then move on.

3. Acceptable content

Share your fanart! Share your fanfics! Share your out-of-left-field theories and head-canons! This community is open to all TADC-themed content, as long as it's SFW. Some content related to Glitch/Gooseworx is also acceptable as TADC-adjacent, but the primary focus should be Digital Circus

Reposting content from elsewhere is allowed, but you MUST credit the original source. Include the (user)name of the original poster in the title and put a link back to the original post in the body of the post.

Here it is, the episode that started it all!

The Amazing Digital Circus is a psychological dark comedy about cute cartoon characters who hate their lives and want to leave 🎪😀

Spoilers below! Make sure you watched the episode first!

Let's analyze the circus, guess at how they got in the circus, and talk about what's in a name

BIG NEWS GUYS!!! - From October 4th, The Amazing Digital Circus is also coming to Netflix with Episodes 1-3 available to stream both there AND on YouTube!

And to be clear; We're still independently funding everything, we still get full control of the show, and episodes will continue to ALWAYS come out on YouTube first.

Honestly feel that this is a HUGE step for indie animation and we couldn't have done it without you all ❤️

SEE YOU WHEN EPISODE 3 RELEASES 👀

With Murder Drones having officially reached its finale, it's time now for Glitch to start teasing the next Digital Circus episode again!

The post thumbnail image was posted to their socials a couple days ago (Sept 17) with no additional comment. Another image was posted today (Sept 19) with the caption:

You make your way up the steps of a mysterious mansion...

Do you enter?

Pomni, seen from behind, stands in front of the closed doors of what appears to be a spooky mansion. She's shining a flashlight on the wooden doors, which are about twice her height and slightly weathered, and surrounding brick walls as a window above the doors shines light back on to her. The rest of the mansion visible to the sides is cloaked in darkness, and some light fog lingers at the edges of the floor.

Who's ready for a Halloween episode!

3-hour long signing stream with Amanda Hufford (Ragatha), Sean Chiplock (Kinger), Alex Rochon (Caine), Hamish Plaggmars (Max), Vera Tan (Loolilalu), Michael Kovach (Jax), and Marissa Lenti (Gangle). Some Q&A and plenty 'o chaos along the way!

Jax and Pomni just finished an Underwater Adventure in The Amazing Digital Circus, but Pomni's not feeling so great after the whole "Drowning" bit. Jax takes this as an opportunity to teach her how to be a bad person in a song inspired by "No Girl's Toy" from Raggedy Ann & Andy A Musical Adventure!

This Labor of Love took seven months to produce, in no small part due to getting THE OFFICIAL CAST OF THE AMAZING DIGITAL CIRCUS to perform! This IS still a fansong and is in no way canon, but their performances helped bring my raggedy little musical adventure to life. Thanks so much to all the amazing actors & to GLITCH for allowing this!

The Amazing Digital Circus is not what you think. Well, that much is obvious, right? But fans have been DYING to know: is Jax just an NPC? What's the deal with Caine? And why is everyone in candy land? Today we uncover all of that and discover Jax's master plan!

Lyrics

Pomni:

Dropped into this digital world,

Spinning items overhead, has my head in a whirl,

What’s happening here? Can I put this on pause?

Why can’t I take this stupid headset off!

Okay just breath and try to relax,

Think logically before you have a panic attack,

Maybe this is a dream, about a circus!

Jax: Caine, a new sucker’s here.

Caine: Ah! Glad you could join us!

Caine:

Welcome to this extraordinary display,

A new adventure just awaiting for you every single day,

Enjoy the carnival here, how bout the digital lake?

Or maybe a slice of some angel food cake? (Bubble: Nom!)

And of course, the void! Vast emptiness and space,

Who knows what’s out there in this wide open place?

Let’s head back now, it’s almost time to start!

Pomni: Wait, is that a-

Caine: No time! You’ll miss the chorus part!

Chorus (Pomni):

What’s going on in this cyberspace?

Things popping up and jumping up all over there place,

Is there even an escape, or a place to go?

I just want to leave, not be a part of the show

Didn’t ask for a way out of reality,

To wind up doing digital theatricalities,

Just want to find my way back home,

Before I lose my mind and self control

Caine: Gather the gloinks! Good luck my superstars!

Jax: Yeah, no thanks, you two go handle it. C’mon girls, let’s go harass the clown

Ragatha:

Just try to stay calm short stuff,

Everything will be alright!

We’ve been at this for years with,

No exit anywhere in sight!

Try not to think about how you can’t leave

Freedom so out of reach, it’ll drive you crazy!

Just keep your head and don’t get distracted,

HOLY S-—, KAUFMO’S BEEN ABSTRACTED!

Jax:

I’d better stay away, rather not get caught,

I think for once I’m fine with missing the best part,

Kinger: JAX! Gangle: We saw a piece of Zooble go down this hole,

Jax: Hey, this might just lead us to our ultimate goal!

Running from a big and abstractical being,

Come to face a great, disgusting thing I’m seeing,

Gloink Queen: I’m the Gloink Queen! Have some respect for my name!

Jax: Yeah right, a name like that would just put me right to shame

Chorus (Pomni):

What’s going on in this cyberspace?

Things popping up and jumping up all over there place,

Is there even an escape, or a place to go?

I just want to leave, not be a part of the show

Didn’t ask for a way out of reality,

To wind up doing digital theatricalities,

Just want to find my way back home,

Before I lose my mind and self control

Please let there be end to all these doors,

I don’t know if I can take it anymore,

Left and right, with no end in sight,

Holding on to sanity with all my might,

Vague memories inside my brain, (inside my brain)

Insanity I must contain, (must contain)

Hope all this effort won’t be in vain,

Or else I think I might just go insane!

Floating endlessly,

Open and so free,

Out here all alone,

Into the unknown,

Staring into nowhere seamlessly,

Glaring lights I’m lost in peacefully,

Helpless here, and yet I’m calm,

Hypnotized, by, the great beyond,

Caine: There ya go! Wouldn’t want you wondering out there now would we?

Chorus (Pomni):

Don’t know what’s up in this cyberspace,

Things popping up and jumping up all over there place,

Not even an escape, or a place to go,

No way to leave, just be a part of the show

Didn’t ask for a way out of reality,

Stuck performing digital theatricalities,

Can’t seem to find a way back home,

Might lose my mind and self control!

Abstracted ones (x2):

Trust us there is no exit,

Stop before you regret it,

Give up there is no exit,

Won’t be what you expected

Pomni (during x2):

Self control!

Jax: Thank goodness this is all a dream, right Pomni?

Zooble: Shut up Jax

Lyrics

‎­

hi there you’re the latest jester

added to our beta testers

wipe that silly frown away cause there’s no need to be depressed here

‎­

floating eyes and smiling teeth

ringmaster of insanity

please don’t rag at the fact that this place hijacks your humanity

‎­

this new home feels like a prison, even though he says it isnt

i don’t know what to believe in

gonna make me crazy

‎­

why is this happening and

what am i doing here and

how am i ever gonna

get out of this fcking place

‎­

what what the hell was that

i can’t take this anymore

my god, this whole wacky world just makes me wanna fcking scream

‎­

come with me there’s lots to teach ya

the gang’ll just love to meet ya

let’s go on some goofy aah adventures i made just for you so

eat this goop it’s green and slimy

look at that we’re teeny tiny

let’s surf pipes of different types inside a desktop from the ninety’s

‎­

when our purpose starts to fade

we’ll feel our minds decay

our memories become so distant

soon we all will be erased

abstracted and displaced

can’t comprehend our own existence

‎­

stranded for eternity

stuck eating food that’s 3D

we can’t be trapped here can we?

sorry to burst your bubble but you will be!

‎­

the new member of the band,

pawn in someone else’s hand

feel like alice here in this forsaken wonderland

please tell me it’s just a dream

that it’s not all that it seems

this whole wacky world just makes me want to f*cking scream

‎­

Can’t escape don’t even try

just loop up omnipresent eyes

are stalking you and taunting you to watch as you decay and die so

don’t deceive or run or flee

just listen to the king or he

will cast you to the zoo below with those like you who try to leave.

An original song based on The Amazing Digital Circus: THE AMAZING DIGITAL CIRCUS: PILOT

Featuring vocals by @OR3O_xd

Song written and produced by LongestSoloEver

Lyrics (via Genius):

Lyrics

[Verse 1: OR3O]

Snap back from a panic attack

Am I hallucinating? Going crazy? Gotta relax

I gotta make sense of the current events

I put the headset on, there's something wrong

I can't remember anything

Who are you? Who am I?

What the hell's my ****ing name?

Is it true? Did I die?

Can somebody please explain?

I'm not supposed to be here

Can someone just show me the door?

[Pre-Chorus: LongestSoloEver, OR3O]

(We've got a new forever friend)

What's this place? Who's talking to mе? Did you say forever?

(Who wants to tell hеr she's condemned?)

I must be dreaming, tell me

[Chorus: LongestSoloEver & OR3O]

It's started sinking in, we're never leaving

Entertainers in the show that never ends

Try not to panic when you can't understand

That you're a player on the stage

And now the curtain won't go down

Try not to think about how long you've been here

It might get easier with every year you spend

Trapped in the circus

You know, it might just work if you can try not to go insane

[Verse 2: OR3O]

Break out, now I'm trying to hide

From something like I've never seen, I think I'm losing my mind

I gotta get help, or do I think of myself?

I swear I saw a doorway out of here, wait

Corridor after door after door, it never ends

How can there still be more?

Having trouble comprehending just what kind of hell I'm in

I'm losing hope, how can I open one more door?

[Verse 3: LongestSoloEver]

(Well, well!) Look at you in the void all alone

Thought you found another exit door (No spoilers!)

Back to the show, nowhere to go

Try to follow better order to the letter

(Have an adventure!)

What you saw was another work in progress

In the office for this offense

Could be trouble, but I'm feeling gracious

Now in any case, we gotta get you into place

Get a smile on your face (It's showtime!)

[Verse 4: LongestSoloEver]

Can you retain some control of your brain?

That's why I set this whole thing up

Why not just try to play along?

Can you be patient, it can't be explained

It's kinda complicated, can you wait a minute or a couple of years?

[Pre-Chorus: OR3O, LongestSoloEver]

I can't remember who I am (That's completely normal)

(What's a name? A bunch of random letters!)

They tell me I'm forever damned

(Let's have some fun, it's not that bad)

Hey, watch your language

[Chorus: LongestSoloEver & OR3O]

It's started sinking in, we're never leaving

Entertainers in the show that never ends

Try not to panic when you can't understand

That you're a player on the stage

And now the curtain won't go down

Try not to think about how long you've been here

It might get easier with every year you spend

Trapped in the circus

You know, it might just work if you can try not to go insane

[Bridge: OR3O, LongestSoloEver]

I don't think I can go on (Stay with us, my dear)

Don't want to lose myself (You know you're stuck with us here)

I'll try putting a show on (That's the spirit, come on)

I'll try biding my time (Wait, no, that's not what I meant at all!)

I'll find a way out of here (No, you've gotta stay here forever!)

I'll never stop (I mean it, you're stuck!)

I'll never give up on life (Stop singing!)

I'll get out of this place tonight (My god, it's beautiful!)

Or tomorrow, this horrible hell (This is heart-wrenching)

Can't hold me forever (You're still going, huh?)

Whenever I get the chance (Okay)

[Pre-Chorus: LongestSoloEver]

Ah, hahaha, ah, hahaha, ahaha

That's hilarious!

[Chorus: LongestSoloEver & OR3O, OR3O]

(Whoa, oh-oh, oh) It's started sinking in, we're never leaving

Entertainers in the show that never ends

Try not to panic when you can't understand

That you're a player on the stage

And now the curtain won't go down

Try not to think about how long you've been here

It might get easier with every year you spend

Trapped in the circus

You know, it might just work if you can try not to go insane
