P-Body And Atlas Just Spamming The “I Love You” And “mom” Buttons While GLaDOS SWEARS She Didn’t

WHAT’S THIS?! TADC Headcanons?!?

— As the youngest circus member, Jax has definitely played FNAF and immediately thought “oh yes this is awesome” when he got into his digital body. However, sadly, no one else has played FNAF or gets his occasional references. 

— Bubble has a knack for showing up unannounced, absolutely silently. One minute, you’re chilling in your room; the next, Bubble is also chilling in your room. 4 inches behind your face. Silently.

— As there’s only humans, NPCs, and AIs in the circus, where does Jax get the bugs to harass Ragatha with?  My theory is that he bribes Caine to get them and Caine, being a natural prankster, is all too willing to indulge and make bugs appear out of thin air. 

— Ragatha is terrified that the bugs will crawl in where her stuffing should be like the Oogie Boogie Man. She was creeped out by Nightmare Before Christmas. She will never tell this to Jax, though. 

— Caine has accidentally bit one of his eyes before, just like someone biting their tongue. It hurts every bit and much much more. It hurts so much he glitches in and out of cyberspace for a few moments in pain.

— Gummigoo is actually an abstraction that has regained control using an NPC as a channel/shell for their essence. This is why he’s so self-aware and determined to return to the Circus, even if he’s not aware of it or his past life in the Circus. 

— Bubble watches reality TV (with a big bowl of popcorn) and, while Caine acts like he hates it, he watches it for all the big romantic gestures so he can know what to do for the Moon when he wants to flirt. 

— Bubble made Caine a big box of chocolates to give to her on Valentine’s Day. He still feels very touched by the gesture.

— Caine, on the other hand, is a huge fan of game shows and is actually imitating a game show host persona. He’s actually a lot more introverted when just one on one. 

— Kinger does not know how to play chess. He does love a good game of Candy Land, though. 

— Jax has an exclusive copy of GTA VI. How did he get it? Nobody knows. When he’s in his room, he’s just off playing it, though he doesn’t like it as much as GTAV. He taught Kinger how to play and he’s actually pretty good. However, Kinger forgets after every time they play. 

— Gangle can and does slither like a snake from time to time on those ribbons; it just freaks out Ragatha so she doesn’t do it. 

— Gangle has an irrational fear of ball pits. Mainly because she’s worried they’ll get stuck in her smaller coils. 

— Zooble was once disassembled and used as a hot wheels ramp/course by Jax as a prank. Caine thus has banned the use of Hot Wheels from the Circus.  

— Caine and Bubble have full internet access. He keeps up to date with trends and sprinkles in references that the Circus cast obviously don’t get.

— Caine and Bubble have a lot of inside jokes and no filter when they’re together. Bubble is also comfortable saying anything to Caine.

nah, pretty sure it’s… Still Alive. (I’ll see myself out)

When you join a fandom that peaked 8 years ago:

Murder Drones Headcanons since I have brainrot

— Uzi loves playing Mario kart with N since he’s a terrible driver because she always wins. She’s not above that. 

— Tessa wanted to be a hairdresser or in R&D for computer science when she grew up and loved practicing on her drones. She was leaning towards hair, though she had a knack with drones. You can imagine what her parents thought of these career leanings.

— J actually changed hair/wigstyles quite a bit because of this. The wildest “phase” was bubblegum pink. Her parents made her throw out the mohawk wig. :(

— J genuinely loved/loves Tessa, possibly even more than any of the others did; she just also faced the most punishment since she was the drone with Tessa the most and therefore she was the easiest to get ahold of. Thus, she faced Tessa’s parents’ wrath more often and was even more afraid of them than the others. This led to a sort of learned helplessness/submission in her that was hard to unlearn. 

— J is actually very, very self conscious. She’s isn’t a bully just to be a bitch but because she thinks it will save her from being the focus of someone’s wrath. Scapegoating at its finest. (Though she still is a bitch.)

— J steals the wigs from workers she kills and wears them sometimes. She doesn’t know exactly why; it just feels oddly familiar. 

— The three DDs all snuggled like a pile of puppies in the space pod when in sleep mode. The pod can be programmed for a destination but has to be piloted (or lack thereof) to the surface so they could just snooze until initial descent (and they did!). 

— Antifreeze is the drone equivalent of Monster energy drinks, so, naturally, Uzi lives off the stuff. 

— Most drones actually make their own wigs!   A lot of them are from thin wires they’ve scavenged from Copper 9’s wreckage, though there’s some made from melted plastic like faux hair human wigs. 

— Thad collects Nerf guns. They’re more fun than the real thing for him. That’s one thing Uzi and Thad can chat about for hours. 

— Thad and Uzi also collaborate (and compete) on pranks!  They have a prank hit list of workers they want to mess with and whoever checks everyone off first is the winner. Their favorite was replacing Lizzy’s lip gloss with oil. Cruel, yes, but the gross-out factor had them in stitches for at least an hour. 

— Thad has a JROTC-like chapter of the WDF as an after-school club. It’s mostly just LARPing with his Nerf collection.  

— V bites the tips of her claws as a nervous habit. They’re a bit dented and scuffed because of this.  

— Khan is a magnet user to cope with the stress of the colony’s existence on his shoulders, the loss of Nori, and single parenting. He doesn’t really tell anyone about it and is pretty high functioning. 

— N is a huge fan of stickers!  He has found a few packs of them and loves decorating himself/paper/Uzi’s hoodie when she’s not looking/pretty much everything them. 

— V and J are girl’s girls.

— Lizzy has painted V’s claws Barbie pink before. V absolutely adored how it turned out.

— Doll was adopted by Lizzy’s parents after her own family died and while she hides out at her old home to hide her consumption of oil/etc a lot of the time, she actually lives at Lizzy’s; this is why they’re so inseparable. 

— Speaking of Lizzy, the only one to mourn Doll’s loss will be Lizzy and her family, though Uzi will make every attempt to give her and what’s left of her parents’ remains a decent resting place.   — Humanized Khan is buff.

— Khan once threw Uzi a birthday party. None of her classmates showed up (though Thad did send a very nice card) so she only got one present. Guess what it was? 

Portal 2 but exactly the same except GLaDOS gives Chell those dog communication button mats (especially the one that says “bitch”).

”I think we can put our differences behind us… for science… you monster”

Chell just slamming away at those buttons with one of the long fall boots: “let… me… go outside… now… bitch”

another TADC headcanon!

Caine likes to play with all animal-like NPCs like someone does with cats: dangle testing them, booping them on the nose, making them dance, etc. But it’s all okay since it’s considered a rare honor to be booped by a god!

(the humanoids get played with like dollies and he does make them kiss and has elaborate plot lines with them)

okay but she would definitely have one of these

just a silly little GLaDOS doodle because I just KNOW she’s got that white woman interior design taste in the part of her that’s still Caroline… like she was his assistant in the 50s and lived through farmhouse chic in the 90s of course she has white woman decorating taste

just watched through 2001 and 2010

No spoilers for any of my robo fan homies who might want to go watch it but that freaky floating fetus in 2010 was NOT the jumpscare I needed at 1 AM. I am so lucky I watched this as a grown ass adult and not a kid because holy hell that damn bigass baby would have been one of those permanent childhood movie scars. Though the sequel was lowkey unhinged and a million times creepier than the first (or maybe that’s a few days without sleep talking). But my sweet dear son HAL! He is such a nice young man and I love him. He never deserves what happens to him poor baby 😭🧡 Not adding spoilers but if I caught my coworkers talking smack about me at work, you’d better believe that I’d be catty. Maybe just make sure to do more HR trainings with him to address appropriate workplace conflict resolution or something. /jk He deserves a nice warm hug and some kind words. Both endings made me cry and I’m really not a huge cry-over-movies critter.

I’m so glad they fleshed out/further discussed my boy’s motives in the second. He definitely joins Edgar, GLaDOS, Wheatley, V, Uzi, and AM in the unhinged robot brainrot squad. They could never make me hate my little silly, especially not with his gentle, sweet voice. Anyways going to go finish rendering some gift art!

Your daily reminder that the VA for the silly ball is one of the writers for the Office. I like to think he’d get along well with Michael Scott :]

I got called away when I was going to watch ts and had to close my phone. Didn’t open it until I was standing in line at the crowded checkout and got hit by “EY YOU’RE MY FAVORITE, BABY!” In Harlan’s sleazy rachet ass AM voice. On full blast. In the damned store. 😭

am making ted more crazier by saying hes his favorite (and calling him baby)... harlan when i catch you? when i catch you youre OVER.

watched Electric Dreams today and HAD to make this meme on my phone in between sets while lifting today. (If someone’s already made it before, I’m so sorry) They’re brothers in my mind with total opposite personalities. I love them both, the sillies. Don’t tell anyone but I might’ve teared up just a little bit at the end there. My sweetheart Edgar ily, baby.
