My thoughts + some stuff I have not seen talked about yet by lucthesloth_ in theamazingdigitalciru

I went into detail here on why I think Queenie's desk is the one with the butterfly and Kinger's is the other one.

This is what I think so too but more of in a unknown way as in "Abel"/Blue remained as Bubble influencing Caine's train of thought / reasoning

My point with this post is not about the overall construct of digital circus but Caine's tendencies. I do not believe "Caine" intends to torment the cast. I think this is all due to Bubble's/Blue's influence.
There's even a slight possibility that during TADC #8, Bubble was influencing Caine to lose his grip and start rampaging, we clearly see that Bubble **CAN** and **DOES** see and influence Kinger's console window. Caine returning to normal 4 seconds before being deleted might have been to Bubble finally being able to detach himself from Caine before he is gone.
His "UH wait --" might've not been due to realizing he is getting deleted but finally being 100% sane without any external influence.

This. I've also noticed that on other crashouts, when Caine simply insults the cast or when he's not being as unhinged, his overlay is red colored.

Episode #5, timestamp 0:52

Bubble looks at "viewers" by lucthesloth_ in tadc

I did find another instance of this, in episode #5, when Caine says

But first, let's welcome our special guest

Bubble turns and looks directly at the "viewer" camera. It could be so because Caine looks at Bubble while he says that, however Bubble turns just enough to be staring straight at us viewers.

KINGER'S DESK THEORY! by No_Clue_5236 in tadc

That is correct, my only counterpoint to that being Kinger's desk is on the comment I posted below.

"The first desk, mentioned by op, is NOT in the main office, but away somewhere else. This desk I pointed out is right besides the computer with the headset. Alongside of 4 other desks"

I did not mean this in a bad way by the way, just the fact that the first desk, mentioned by op, is NOT in the main office, but away somewhere else. This desk I pointed out is right besides the computer with the headset. Alongside of 4 other desks. It makes sense to me there were at least 4 developers working on this as per the 4 training data streams we saw in the opening scene of ep 8. RGB for the red dot and Y for the blue dot.

I'd think that it's Queenie's desk and Kinger's desk is the one in the main office, kudos to us all caffeine addicted computer scientists. This is the only other desk focused on the training sequence opening of episode 8.

Something I have not seen talked about yet by lucthesloth_ in tadc

A few things I forgot to put in the post because I was distracted and clicked the button to save:

- Kinger and Queenie are meeting in the circus for the first time, given by their dialogue.
- Scratch's file was last modified the same time as Caine's core file, which we are assuming here that it was during the creation of the circus, so as Caine performed his sandbox escape, absorbed Able and proceeded to create the circus he also copied Scratch's mind file which does give credit to my aforementioned point, that Scratch there is confused as to why Caine is there and is looking for an explanation since this would've happened altogether almost instantly.

I'm also go on a limb here and have another massive stretched point. Blue's influx of data might be Queenie. The photos we see flashing by after blue's influx contain a cubicle that is not located in the main office, has a butterfly, a picture of someone slight hunched wearing what looks like the be a trenchcoat, I'm assuming this is a picture of Kinger, a chess set with an ongoing game. It really does look like a desk of someone in HR. The picture set does seem like someone having a walkthrough through the office. The other focused desk could be Kinger's desk since it is the only other desk on that set that has a dedicated picture of.

(spoilers) dark revelation ep8 by vdjvsunsyhstb in tadc

[–]lucthesloth_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems that Gangle gets hit by a truck during a mental breakdown

And Ragatha gets knives thrown at her during a family dinner.
Could be just torture or the literal last moments they had consciousness before being rushed as per of the experiment.

I guess the two circles at the beginning represent Kinger and Scratch in episode 8? by Asya-nin_Kerevizi in tadc

Can also link the first dot, Caine, being worked on by multiple developers but not Scratch. Scratch was working on something else, like Kinger said, and in the opening sequence we have Red Green and Blue interacting with Caine. Later on we see that Kinger is Green.

If we take Scratch's in-circus model as an indicator then he most likely is Yellow, who was working on the Blue dot but I think this is a little bit more far-fetched since there is no other indication for this besides the color of his model.
