I just think he's neat
I just think he's neat
My beloved plastic toy freak
My Little Man. My dapper little dude.
If I you ask me, I'd say he's a pleader, a whiner, and a squeak and yelper in bed.
Listening to the soundfiles of Leon Kennedy in Dead By Daylight and thinking "goddamn I hope TADC ep 8 gives us some Caine lines that could be construed as desperation"
Sometimes I just get so fucking horny for him. I will not apologize for being myself
I just think he's the cutest dude I've ever drawn
The catch-22 about being excited for upcoming media and wanting to make fanwork while I wait, but also feeling unable to make fanwork because I'm waiting for new media to lay out canon
PROGRAMMED FOR PLEASURE #TADCNSFW #GenitalCircus #IRLCaineAU
We gotta get more comfortable with sex and the erotic as a thematic element in art that's worthy of engagement and discussion in an intellectual sense, otherwise we'll just be making power tiers and kill-counts for the rest of our lives
It reminds me of the part from Maurice Sendak's "Where the Wild Things Are" when Max tries to leave and the Wild Things say "Oh please don't go! We'll eat you up, we love you so!" A child's furious attempt to understand big emotions and connections with other people manifests in a threat to eat them
Given they've already implied "not being able to have adult sexual expression is a form of tyranny", it makes sense that Caine, constructed without it to keep him "worksafe" as corporate property, would seek other ways to connect and love humans, including ways that seem strange, like consuming them
No one wants to talk about the ways a cartoon artificial intelligence could manifest frustration over his inherent otherness from humanity that aren't violence, cuz another way existential division is overcome is Erotic Union, and our media literacy environment respects violence more than eroticism
There are far less thematic and subtextual hints to suggest Caine will get violent & kill someone, than there are to suggest he will "swallow" someone in a misdirected attempt to express his love for humans and need to understand connect with them, but no one wants to talk about it cuz that's "vore"
I'm just really tired of Violence being the only expression of emotion that gets featured in media, I want there to be more stories that explore how strangely the mind expresses its desires, including stuff like "being a helpless victim of nonstop clownery is a kind of release fantasy"
The Raggedy Ann and Andy movie has so much weird fantasy stuff in it that probably inspired thousands of kinks, and I love it because of that, even if I'm not INTO the kinks myself, I respect art that's free to be so weird that it starts altering people's minds that way
An unfortunate amount of the audience refuses to pick up the textual and thematic information the show is laying out that it is STAUNCHLY REFUSING to go along with the cliches of "dark mascot horror". The rugpull of ep 7 was basically the last straw.
Far more interest in discussing the parallels with a story where a violent, rage filled computer kills humanity and turns the last human into some sort of slug, than discussing the parallels with the movie with the climactic tickle torture and inflation scene
Crack theory that some of TADC's audience is obsessed with drawing lines between it and IHNMAIMS instead of its other inspiration, the Raggedy Ann & Andy movie, cuz it's less embarrassing to group it with a dark, violent sci fi story than a very weird cartoon with every kink known to the internet
I've gotten by okay without a partner for years, and i will continue into the foreseeable future....
but it just gets lonely sometimes, dudes
"I can fix him!" (The tool I am fixing him with is a strap) #TADCNSFW #GenitalCircus

I'm going to have to do a lot of drawing to pass 2 weeks wait
Mostly I'm just happy because I prefer seeing Caine happy and silly.
I wanted to be too cute by half by making my pet name for Caine "sugarcane" or something like that, but no, he's "Little Man" to me
Villain Arc IRL Caine is still a twink of 5 foot nothing, but he absolutely makes up for it by being as theatrically extra as possible
Slap the backboard with them thangs
YOU are anticipating Caine's villain arc cuz you heard IHNMAIMS was part of the inspiration for Digital Circus and made the mistake of assuming it was a beat for beat remake.
I am anticipating Caine's villain arc because villains are hot, and I plan to make sexy fanart.
We are not the same.
I still don't believe Caine is going to have a villain arc cuz I don't believe in using IHNMAIMS as a 1-to-1 parallel for everything that the show must do, but I think I can be persuaded to draw a villain version of Human Caine just for the simple reason that villains are hot
He was my favorite too, love a hammy, embarrassing love-starved himbo
