With Glitch's new show Knights of Guinevere (by Dana Terrace, John Bailey Owen, and Zach Marcus of The Owl House) recently announced and now The Gaslight District (by Nick Szopko) with its trailer dropping today, I want to have a space on Lemmy to talk about these shows.

But, given how quiet this community and [email protected] are, I don't think it makes sense to make dedicated communities for each. But, this is [email protected], and it doesn't technically fit here, either. (Sunset Paradise and Meta Runner are also totally unrepresented in Lemmy)

Since it's not possible to change the handle of a Lemmy community, this would mean a new community. I'm looking at the following options and would like your opinions:

1: Create a new community for general Glitch content and deprecate this one. Create !GlitchProd and close !digital_circus. This community will be closed (set to read-only) and all 6 shows (Sunset, Meta, Drones, Circus, Gaslight, and Guinevere) will be welcome there.

2: Create a new community for general Glitch content, but leave this one open. TADC content will be welcome in both communities and will have to be double-posted for maximum reach.

3: Allow all Glitch content here. Don't create a new community, just open the doors of [email protected]. I can change the display name, but not the handle, so this will always be !digital_circus.

4: No change, leave this community to TADC and nothing for new shows. Of course, nothing stopping anyone else from making a general Glitch community and causing #2 again

Please sound off on your thoughts in the comments. I'll probably decide late Friday or on Saturday to be fresh on the GD hype.

BIG NEWS GUYS!!! - From October 4th, The Amazing Digital Circus is also coming to Netflix with Episodes 1-3 available to stream both there AND on YouTube!

And to be clear; We're still independently funding everything, we still get full control of the show, and episodes will continue to ALWAYS come out on YouTube first.

Honestly feel that this is a HUGE step for indie animation and we couldn't have done it without you all ❤️

SEE YOU WHEN EPISODE 3 RELEASES 👀

See you on October 4th for the ”””””funniest””””” Digital Circus episode of them all!….

With Murder Drones having officially reached its finale, it's time now for Glitch to start teasing the next Digital Circus episode again!

The post thumbnail image was posted to their socials a couple days ago (Sept 17) with no additional comment. Another image was posted today (Sept 19) with the caption:

You make your way up the steps of a mysterious mansion...

Do you enter?

Who's ready for a Halloween episode!

3-hour long signing stream with Amanda Hufford (Ragatha), Sean Chiplock (Kinger), Alex Rochon (Caine), Hamish Plaggmars (Max), Vera Tan (Loolilalu), Michael Kovach (Jax), and Marissa Lenti (Gangle). Some Q&A and plenty 'o chaos along the way!

Jax and Pomni just finished an Underwater Adventure in The Amazing Digital Circus, but Pomni's not feeling so great after the whole "Drowning" bit. Jax takes this as an opportunity to teach her how to be a bad person in a song inspired by "No Girl's Toy" from Raggedy Ann & Andy A Musical Adventure!

Marissa Lenti (aka Vixen the Reindeer) (Gangle), Lizzie Freeman (Pomni), Alex Rochon (Caine), Amanda Hufford (Ragatha), Michael Kovach (Jax), and Sean Chiplock (Kinger) play and voice a fan-made visual novel game based on the TADC Pilot. (Goose (Bubble) and Elsie Lovelock (Gloink Queen) couldnt make it, so their characters were voiced by the others)

If you follow the cast on Twitter, this has spawned so much fanart lmao

The Amazing Digital Circus is not what you think. Well, that much is obvious, right? But fans have been DYING to know: is Jax just an NPC? What's the deal with Caine? And why is everyone in candy land? Today we uncover all of that and discover Jax's master plan!

These scrumdiddlyumptious bumpkins have been [MASS PRODUCED] and they can be yours today! (They also do a pretty decent take on "I Am the Very Model of a Modern Major-General")

Composed by Evan Alderete (Twitter@Geocranium, Nitter), shared by Gooseworx on Twitter (Nitter)

Evan retweeted (Nitter) it saying:

This is definitely my favorite track from the new episode. It's even better in the context of the scene 🙂

Lyrics

Pomni:

Dropped into this digital world,

Spinning items overhead, has my head in a whirl,

What’s happening here? Can I put this on pause?

Why can’t I take this stupid headset off!

Okay just breath and try to relax,

Think logically before you have a panic attack,

Maybe this is a dream, about a circus!

Jax: Caine, a new sucker’s here.

Caine: Ah! Glad you could join us!

Caine:

Welcome to this extraordinary display,

A new adventure just awaiting for you every single day,

Enjoy the carnival here, how bout the digital lake?

Or maybe a slice of some angel food cake? (Bubble: Nom!)

And of course, the void! Vast emptiness and space,

Who knows what’s out there in this wide open place?

Let’s head back now, it’s almost time to start!

Pomni: Wait, is that a-

Caine: No time! You’ll miss the chorus part!

Chorus (Pomni):

What’s going on in this cyberspace?

Things popping up and jumping up all over there place,

Is there even an escape, or a place to go?

I just want to leave, not be a part of the show

Didn’t ask for a way out of reality,

To wind up doing digital theatricalities,

Just want to find my way back home,

Before I lose my mind and self control

Caine: Gather the gloinks! Good luck my superstars!

Jax: Yeah, no thanks, you two go handle it. C’mon girls, let’s go harass the clown

Ragatha:

Just try to stay calm short stuff,

Everything will be alright!

We’ve been at this for years with,

No exit anywhere in sight!

Try not to think about how you can’t leave

Freedom so out of reach, it’ll drive you crazy!

Just keep your head and don’t get distracted,

HOLY S-—, KAUFMO’S BEEN ABSTRACTED!

Jax:

I’d better stay away, rather not get caught,

I think for once I’m fine with missing the best part,

Kinger: JAX! Gangle: We saw a piece of Zooble go down this hole,

Jax: Hey, this might just lead us to our ultimate goal!

Running from a big and abstractical being,

Come to face a great, disgusting thing I’m seeing,

Gloink Queen: I’m the Gloink Queen! Have some respect for my name!

Jax: Yeah right, a name like that would just put me right to shame

Chorus (Pomni):

What’s going on in this cyberspace?

Things popping up and jumping up all over there place,

Is there even an escape, or a place to go?

I just want to leave, not be a part of the show

Didn’t ask for a way out of reality,

To wind up doing digital theatricalities,

Just want to find my way back home,

Before I lose my mind and self control

Please let there be end to all these doors,

I don’t know if I can take it anymore,

Left and right, with no end in sight,

Holding on to sanity with all my might,

Vague memories inside my brain, (inside my brain)

Insanity I must contain, (must contain)

Hope all this effort won’t be in vain,

Or else I think I might just go insane!

Floating endlessly,

Open and so free,

Out here all alone,

Into the unknown,

Staring into nowhere seamlessly,

Glaring lights I’m lost in peacefully,

Helpless here, and yet I’m calm,

Hypnotized, by, the great beyond,

Caine: There ya go! Wouldn’t want you wondering out there now would we?

Chorus (Pomni):

Don’t know what’s up in this cyberspace,

Things popping up and jumping up all over there place,

Not even an escape, or a place to go,

No way to leave, just be a part of the show

Didn’t ask for a way out of reality,

Stuck performing digital theatricalities,

Can’t seem to find a way back home,

Might lose my mind and self control!

Abstracted ones (x2):

Trust us there is no exit,

Stop before you regret it,

Give up there is no exit,

Won’t be what you expected

Pomni (during x2):

Self control!

Jax: Thank goodness this is all a dream, right Pomni?

Zooble: Shut up Jax

Lyrics

‎­

hi there you’re the latest jester

added to our beta testers

wipe that silly frown away cause there’s no need to be depressed here

‎­

floating eyes and smiling teeth

ringmaster of insanity

please don’t rag at the fact that this place hijacks your humanity

‎­

this new home feels like a prison, even though he says it isnt

i don’t know what to believe in

gonna make me crazy

‎­

why is this happening and

what am i doing here and

how am i ever gonna

get out of this fcking place

‎­

what what the hell was that

i can’t take this anymore

my god, this whole wacky world just makes me wanna fcking scream

‎­

come with me there’s lots to teach ya

the gang’ll just love to meet ya

let’s go on some goofy aah adventures i made just for you so

eat this goop it’s green and slimy

look at that we’re teeny tiny

let’s surf pipes of different types inside a desktop from the ninety’s

‎­

when our purpose starts to fade

we’ll feel our minds decay

our memories become so distant

soon we all will be erased

abstracted and displaced

can’t comprehend our own existence

‎­

stranded for eternity

stuck eating food that’s 3D

we can’t be trapped here can we?

sorry to burst your bubble but you will be!

‎­

the new member of the band,

pawn in someone else’s hand

feel like alice here in this forsaken wonderland

please tell me it’s just a dream

that it’s not all that it seems

this whole wacky world just makes me want to f*cking scream

‎­

Can’t escape don’t even try

just loop up omnipresent eyes

are stalking you and taunting you to watch as you decay and die so

don’t deceive or run or flee

just listen to the king or he

will cast you to the zoo below with those like you who try to leave.
