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.

This is definitely my favorite track from the new episode. It's even better in the context of the scene 🙂

My thoughts (potential spoilers for ep 2, mentioning details in teaser shared last week)

This gives me some pretty ethereal vibes, dare I say perhaps even void-y. But I think this will actually play around the time we see Pomni getting thrown into abstraction basement (0:30 in the teaser).

This preview was actually shared a few days before the teaser came out. When the teaser dropped, Evan's tweeted (nitter) was "I can't believe someone hypnotized Pomni and then stole her body" with a screenshot of that clip, which I feel reinforces my theory (also get out reference). Those were Evan's only recent tweets, nothing else in the middle or since.

So what will be going on here? I think this is Pomni's psychotic break before she starts abstracting (note her right arm is already gone as she's being lowered in). Those staticy interruptions towards the end of the song clip will probably be flashbacks to things she saw/experienced while getting Space Odyssey'ed in the pilot.

Then, she starts abstracting and Caine gives her the WR for Any%'ing the Digital Circus.

Then, she wakes up.

This is starting to be more thoughts on the teaser as a whole rather than just the song, but I think the abstraction is just a nightmare at the start of the episode (possibly even a cold open?), then she's startled out of bed and clips into the block and the real fun begins.

Who knows? Maybe the characters here will be totally disposable. But I think it'll be a lot harder to make any sort of proper story progression like that, and given the significance of Pomni herself (see my thoughts in the Pilot discussion), I highly doubt she's going to be the next one out already.

But hey, that's just a theory. What do the rest of you think?
