I Just Realized Something-

Oh yeah, I forgot about that theory. Not the concept I'm going for with Abel but I still think it's valid theory nonetheless.

The Amazing Digital Circus finally got to me....

With that said, allow me to introduce you to the circus's very own...

Animal Tamer!!

Abel!

Aka, my own personal take on the speculation surrounding C&A.

There's biblical imagery in TADC if you look for it, especially when it comes to our beloved Ringmaster himself, Caine, who's believed to be named after the first murderer in the bible. That paired with the C&A logo that briefly shows up has led people to believe that Caine had a brother named Abel.

This is just what I think Abel would look like if he does show up in the future or at all. I imagine Abel's an AI, like Caine, but is surprisingly emotionally intelligent and ran the program that allowed humans to leave the circus. (Slight reference to @fannele's version of Able) If we follow the pilot, then something happened to him, but since Caine was described to be a silly guy by @gooseworx themselves, I don't think he had anything to do with it. (If he did it might've been an accident.) The programmers might have potentially removed Abel or accidentally deleted him for some reason, we can't know for sure.

Those are just my thoughts on Abel and whether it's right or wrong, I don't really care. I just like how this guy came out! I'll be honest though, I probably should've chosen a better pose that convey's Abel's personality a bit more. That and he just generally looks like Caine but with a different outfit and a different head. He low-key looks like if Caine wanted a to wear a very slight Sonic themed outfit.

Idk, I guess I just subconsciously wanted Caine and Abel to be twins. (Darn it ninja turtles you have invaded my brain even now!!).

Anyways. That's just my take, hope you like!

Nothing too special, but I liked it too much not to post it

Their relationship is everything tbh. I love sibling dynamics in media and Megaman is no exception, I just wish we got more family moments with the Light Numbers. The comic's got some, but I wish we got more in the games more than anything.

Also, this particular issue made me laugh uncontrollably for a second cuz apparently, "playing rough" in the Light family means public destruction.

(I'm aware that they were doing demolition work but still)

I really like the emphasis on Rock and Roll being kids and being siblings. Both because of how sweet they're relationship is, and because the series will totally use it to hurt me down the line.

When I first brought up this au, I toyed with the idea that Zero was based on Roll and Protoman, I've been thinking about it a lot lately and drew up a few doodles of Roll using Zero's sprites as a reference. The irony isn't lost on me but I like em so much I just had to share.

If you're wondering why her skirt's missing, it's because Roll has her game face on in these doodles. The skirt is removable and in this au, Roll throws it off when she locks in. So far I haven't thought of when she does this, probably after Wily gets away one too many times or she's just had it with his schemes. Maybe it could be a callback to when Rock was contemplating killing Wily that one time? Only difference is putting Roll in Rock's place.

Idk some food for thought.

Anyways, I'll leave off with two photos the twins took while visiting their little brothers at work.

hello beloveds ☺️

Took a short break from Megaman to draw a character I always loved the look of.

Her name was Silhou the Wildcat and from what I understand, she was the prototype for Blaze the cat, who debuted in Sonic Rush. Blaze's backstory in that game was that she's a princess of a kingdom called Solenea and she guards the Sol Emeralds.

Blaze is also, apparently, an alternate version of Sonic himself? I guess that explains why Silhou looks the way she does, and I really like it. I think she looks so colorful and pretty. Personality wise, I think Silhou was meant to be much like Sonic. Carefree, cool, adventurous, but also being reckless, impatient, and overconfident. I headcanon that much like Blaze, Silhou also has fire powers though they're far more dangerous than Blaze's since they're so wild and burn hotter.

Going off on a tangent here, it's likely because of her destructive power and untamed spirit that she was exiled from the kingdom. Her family probably didn't appreciate her casual nature and wanted her to act the part of a princess which felt suffocating to someone like Silhou. Even if she wasn't exiled, she probably left of her own accord since what was expected of her didn't align with what she wanted out of life. Plus, her powers are very dangerous and like Sonic, Silhou cares deeply for the people around her. She probably left both because she wanted to see the world but also to protect the kingdom from getting swallowed up in her flames. Either way, the result is the same. Silhou is not a part of Blaze's life growing up and left almost nothing aside from old pictures for her family to remember her by. Blaze won't know who she is, but Silhou is smart enough to connect the dots should they ever meet.

Along with Silhou, I also know of another prototype for Blaze that most fans know already.

ProtoBlaze! She doesn't have an official name other than the ones fans give her and her story is nonexistent since I believe she was made early into Blaze's design process. I've seen someone name her Ember, which I love, and I've also seen someone liken her to Shadow and align her more towards his story. I like a lot of this, but I've got an idea of my own that I'll just put down here:

Silhou and ProtoBlaze are in fact one in the same. ProtoBlaze, who will be called Silhouette from this point onwards, is an additional form Silhou takes when her emotions become too much to handle. Kind of like Dark Sonic, only the difference is that Silhouette lasts much longer and her fire powers become that much more deadly, being able to burn through anything. Thankfully, it takes a lot for Silhou to reach this point so Silhouette doesn't usually appear.

Eventually, Silhou comes to accept Silhouette as part of her and over the course of her life Silhou becomes able to temper the dark forms flames, using them to achieve her goals.

With that final thought, enjoy these doodles:

Oh yeah, I drew this a while ago and finished it recently. Just Bill with his puppet introducing you to Weirdmaggedon.

Looking at this drawing now led to some thoughts about why Bill possesses Jax. Y'all can read under the cut if you want.

Thanks to The Book of Bill and watching/reading others analyze Bill as a character, I think he's easier to understand than Jax. TADC is still pretty new, and only two episodes have come out far, so most of what I have on Jax is mostly speculation. We don't know if he's a sympathetic character or was born a jerk and we only know small tidbits like him being scared of corn for some reason. Thankfully @gooseworx has stated that we'll have an episode that'll flesh out Jax's character more, but for now we'll just have to speculate until then.

Since we don't know much about what Jax is thinking at any given time other than that he enjoys causing chaos for his own amusement so far, I'm not entirely sure if he would willingly allow Bill to puppet his body. Chances are he doesn't, at least not at first, and Jax is clever enough to know that Bill's hiding something.

As for how Bill even got into the circus in the first place, he is a dream demon. One that can enter the dreams of any living creature. While you might think that the cast members don't sleep or that Bill can't get to them since they're stuck in a digital hellscape, they are ultimately human. Ep. 2 of TADC even opens with Pomni having and waking up from a scary dream, so it's not that farfetched to say that Bill could reach the cast members.

But there's also the issue of why Bill would even be in the Digital Circus. Is it cause he's intrigued? Bored? Just stumbled on it and got curious? Any one of these reasons seems plausible so we'll leave that up to the imagination. There's also the question of even if Bill could posses someone in the circus, why would he? The cast is stuck there with no way out. There's different ways to go about it. One idea is to have the circus be a forgotten game, but still accessible on the Internet. You could still play it, but why would you if you never heard of C&A and all merchandise and marketing was pulled off of store shelves? Maybe the cast members were employees that were silenced or something of that nature.

The only way I see Bill wanting to take over the circus is if the circus itself is an entirely different reality than the real world the cast members used to live in. Bill already likes it weird and thanks to Caine there's no shortage of wacky shenanigans ready to be experienced. Honestly, that might mean that Bill would try to possess Caine, but he can't cause Caine's an AI. An advanced one to be sure, but still an AI.

I imagine Bill would either stay away from Pomni, get rid of her or potentially be a little fond of her. We know thanks to The Book of Bill that the guy's parents were red and blue triangles and frequently draws them during arts and crafts while in The Theraprism. Pomni would definitely remind Bill of his parents and what he did to them, that's why I'm not entirely sure if he would be okay with her around. Honestly though if it weren't for her colors then she'd actually be the first person Bill would make a deal with. She's smart and determined, but also desperate. Perfect for a deal if it weren't for lingering regrets Bill refuses to deal with.

Ragatha's a completely different story. She's gentle and kind, bordering on condescending, but she truly means well. Bill would probably find her boring and be uninterested with what happens to her. I think Bill might consider Ragatha a pawn at best because of her passivity.

Zooble we don't have much info about, but we do know that they're uninterested with whatever Caine offers and does her own thing most of the time. This'll probably change down the line, but for now I'm gonna say that Bill would find their "take apart, put back together" body interesting for a while and consider making a fidget toy out of Zooble.

Gangle's very emotional and the comedy/tragedy mask alters her personality which makes her a bit unpredictable. Otherwise, I don't see Bill being too interested in her and might not even care enough to bully her. If anything, I think he'd consider her "figurine thing" concerning.

Kinger's kinda kooky already and I think Bill would find him hilarious. At the very least Bill's gonna laugh at the tragedy that Kinger represents within the circus. Beyond that though, Kinger's mind is just too broken for him to make a deal with Bill.

Finally we have Jax. Like Pomni, Jax is smart and capable. He's confident and is really good at getting into places where he shouldn't. This is why I think Bill would offer up a deal with Jax, even if Jax turns him down at first. I think Bill would follow Jax around, revel in the rabbits chaos and offer up small ways to make it "more interesting." At first, Jax disregards Bill and his tips but eventually he gives it a try. Whether through curiosity or sheer boredom, Jax follows Bill's advice and has a great time. The more fun Jax has, the more he trusts Bill, leading to Bill's final trick.

However, something goes wrong. Bill starts to connect with Jax. They bond more and more over chaos and their desire for control. As time goes on, both Bill and Jax develop a genuine friendship. (A chaotic and arguably toxic friendship, but still a friendship nonetheless). Soon enough, the two make a deal, one that gave Jax endless entertainment at the cost of his digital body.

I'll leave it at that for now. If you made it to the end, thanks a lot! There's still plenty more to think about when it comes to these goobers so if anybody wants to add more to this I'd like to hear it.

To the people that had the chance to read the TMNT 2012/Batman Adventures crossover comic:

Do you think Batman would adopt the turtles once he's been made aware of Master Splinter's passing?

The thought had been in my mind for the longest time and I can't help but imagine Bruce Wayne, the Batman, single handedly taking the earliest flight to New York with adoption papers in hand after seeing the messages between Donnie and Batgirl. Messages which start out lighthearted but then slowly come to a stop because the turtles are busy with the Krang and the remnants of the Foot Clan. Once Donnie finally does respond to Batgirl's messages he starts with the classic "EvEryThiNGs fiNe!" but then that slowly starts to fall apart. The Bat family are detective's, the best around at that, they're gonna figure out that something changed the last time they saw the turtles.

Alright, so. Context.

Any fans remember when the Megaman team at Capcom asked people from around the world to participate in the Boss Character Design Contest?

So, this guy was one of those and his actual creator was one of the guys who worked on Megaman 11. I can't remember what his name was, I'll have to get back to you guys on that but yup. I really liked his design and I decided to draw him. He's just a littol gremlin in my eyes. I've got a few more doodles for him but it'll be a while before you guys can see those.

Oh yeah btw, the guy's concept name was Bat Man.

Imma just leave this bad boi here for now.

Got up early today, figured I'd post a doodle

I swear, whenever I draw the four guardians being cute I can't help but throw in Roll. I can see the vision though??? Like she would be the one that could help them get accustomed to the slower things in life. Show them the little things that help make a home so cozy, y'know?
