Digital Circus AMA Notes
Digital Circus is getting a season 1 at some point!!!!
#webcore aesthetic board for the series design
Pomni was going to be a frog originally. 🐸
90s toys Zooble inspo
Caine is an antagonist, but not by active choice, he doesn't know he's not helping. He doesn't feel a whole spectrum of human emotions (he's an AI).
"Caine canonically just lets things happen if he thinks it's funny."
Characters eat like Chao in Chao garden in Sonic. The characters can eat the food, but they can't digest it.
Jax's favorite food is spaghetti.
Pomni likes salmon.
Q "Was the ending a 'Last Supper' reference?" A "in a very superficial kinda way yeah." Religious stuff is sometimes just used for the funny.
Gooseworx tumblr sketches MAY or MAY NOT be canon to the series, so it's up in the air for every single one.
People can abstract from feeling too much pain if it breaks their mind from it being too much. Characters feel pain from things, but not as intensely as they would in real life.
Zooble is gonna swap parts every episode (implying they have spare parts) except their body & head.
Jax chose his own name & gooseworx likes to think he chose Gangle's name.
Ragatha was named "Emmy" originally.
They (the cast of characters trapped in the circus) can't change their clothes but Caine can. It's part of their skin sorta kinda.
There's empty space under Pomni's hat because video game model physics.
Spamton was partially inspo for Caine, Caine's VA did Spamton dubs.
Gangle only has 2 masks. Why's it (her hapiness mask) break all the time? Mental state, but the "real her" is "harder to break."
Kaumfo was gonna be part of the main cast originally before Jax.
Kaufmo's model has nothing below the waist at this time, but was made for that promotional image on twitter.
Q "What kinda person was Kaufmo?" A "He was the same as Ragatha in a sense, goofy & cheery, sometimes toxic levels of positivity."
I'm paraphrasing for the sake of note taking in real time, go watch the stream playback for more context & details if you want.

Alex & Friends Part 25-Ambulance
Thanks to @jaydiann and @whumpy-daydreams for helping with the medical stuff in this!

At least the back of the ambulance was warm and dry, because as far as Alex could tell, that was its only plus side. Three sets of hands were busily scrambling over her, cutting her clothes off, and sticking stuff to her chest. She heard the sound of velcro as a blood pressure cuff was wrapped around her arm, then another pair of hands prodded her legs, asking her to move them and checking for injuries.
It was more than she could handle. She tried to listen to the instructions, but she really just wanted to scream at them to stop. All she could manage was a tired groan. Talking had gotten harder, as had breathing.
Somebody leaned over her, looping an oxygen mask around her face as they spoke. “Hey, Alex. I’m Aaron. I’m a doctor, we’re gonna help you, okay?”
She nodded, trying to distract herself from the hands patting down her legs and arms.
“You said your neck hurt. Is there anywhere else that hurts?” Aaron said, quickly flashing a bright light in and out of her field of vision.
“Foot, chest.” She said, pausing for a breath. “Breathing’s hard.”
They nodded, then looked up to check her vitals. “Tell me if it gets harder, yeah?”
The doctor's attention was drawn away by Joseph’s voice. “I think she’s got a broken calcaneus.”
Aaron disappeared from her vision, and there were suddenly hands poking at her heel. It hurt, and tears welled up in her eyes. “I’d say it's broken,” Aaron agreed, finally pulling his hands away from her ankle. He stepped back. “Get some blankets on her and get a line in.”
The two paramedics wrapped her in blankets, covering up her cold, damp skin. They left her injured foot uncovered, but other than that, her body was blessedly insulated from the air.
“Can you make a fist for me?” Joseph asked as he started to pat her arm. Her vein popped up quickly-she’d always been an easy stick-and he wiped her skin clean. “Sharp scratch,” He warned, then sunk the needle in.
“Alex, I’m going to heal your ankle now, okay?” Aaron said. She swallowed. It was going to hurt, healing always did. “It’ll be painful, but it'll be quick, alright?”
She hummed in the affirmative, since the c-collar prevented her from nodding her head. The sooner it was over, the better.
Aaron carefully took her heel in his hands, handling it more gently than she was used to. Zorland’s people certainly hadn’t been this nice. His touch wasn’t too horrible either, the texture of his hands hidden by the gloves.
Heat started to emanate from his hands. At first, the warmth was pleasant, but it quickly grew into a hot, searing pain. Inside her foot, her bones were shifting and fusing. A weird tingling sensation took over her foot, pain shimmering and pulsing. She gasped, clawing at the side of the stretcher, and Aaron had to tighten his grip on her foot to keep it still.
It’d been nearly a year since she was healed like this, but it brought her right back to the cold metal table. The phantom sensation of straps pinning her down pricked at her wrists. A pained groan escaped her lips, followed by a round of ragged, panting breaths.
“You’re going great.” Aaron said, voice to calm for the amount of pain she was in. “We’re nearly done.”
Joseph appeared in her vision. “You can scream if you need to, I know it hurts.”
She’d never been allowed to scream before, not in that damn back room, and a screeching, high pitched wine filled the ambulance. It quickly devolved into another round of fast, panicky breaths.
Aaron removed his hands, and the pain slowly faded away. “I’m done with your heel now,’ he said. It must’ve been a small break, since he didn’t look too tired. He reassessed it, smiling a little. “Does it still hurt?”
Alex mumbled a quiet no. Once the pain from the healing had faded, it’d felt like nothing had ever happened to it.
“That’s good, swelling’s gone down and it looks a lot better.” Aaron pulled the blanket over her foot, then maneuvered around Joseph and the two paramedics so he was by her head. He sat down behind her, and the butterflies in her stomach multiplied.
“I’m going to heal your neck, next, okay?” His voice was gentle, but it did very little to calm the panic that rose in her chest.
“Please…please no.” It would hurt. Healing places close to nerves like that were agony. She tried to shake her head no, but the brace prevented her from moving.
“Remember to keep still,” Aaron said, and she whimpered, waiting for him to cup his hands around her head. “We’re going to give you some meds that’ll help with pain and prevent you remembering the healing, yeah?”
Alex murmured a quiet thank you, and Arron smiled before turning away to prepare the meds. There was a quiet exchange between Aaron and Joseph as he cross-checked the medications before he prepared the syringe.
“Drug’s are in,” Aaron confirmed.
Alex’s consciousness waned, and she let herself slip away.
