If We Stop Pretending (Jax x reader | TADC)

Summary:

Y/N is a pretty popular girl among the students of her college. After losing a bet, she's dared to explore an abandoned building by herself. She wasn't scared at first, but the place looked too good to be abandoned. After a while she reached a room where she found a computer: it was still on, which was surprising because she didn't think there still was power running through the place. There was a weird looking headset laying on the desk beside it. She had never tried one of those, so of course she picked it up out of curiosity, blew some dust from it and put it on. The next moment she found herself standing in a cartoonish-looking world, trapped into the body of a pierrot clown. A certain rabbit boy, blocked in The Amazing Digital Circus just like her, helped her accept her fate and make the most of it.
A slow burn between Y/N and Jax, where she slowly figures out what she feels for her friend, while still not being able to forget the abstracted frog, Ribbit, who haunts her memories. What happens when they stop pretending?

2. Avatar

Your avatar inside The Amazing Digital Circus is a pierrot clown. 

You are a tall, slim clown, and your color palette is mostly black and white, with the only exception being your light blue eyes. You have a white long jester hat, but not the one with two tales, you have only one of those, with two black spheres along it and one at the tip. You have long white hair with neat bangs. You have two long lashes and black triangle-shaped make up under your eyes and above your eyebrows, typical clown like. You also have two "꩜" spiral symbols on both of your cheeks. You have a black jester collar, a white cropped shirt with long loose sleeves and two black spheres in the middle (similar to Pomni's). Under the cropped top you have a black corset, which shows your cartoonishly slim waist. You also have long pants with a black sphere that match your top. On your feet you wear black ballet shoes and you have black gloves. At times, you pull out one of those cartoonishly giant hammers, a very cartoonish sight like most of the things in the circus. 

(The reason of your avatar comes from one of the theories of TADC: everyone's avatar describes the person's deepest fears and insecurities. This isn't canon or confirmed, but it's a theory I strongly believe. I won't reveal it yet, you'll find out during the story, but feel free to make your own silly assumptions!!)

 

3. Background story

You are a pretty popular girl among the students of your college. While having good grades and good future prospects ahead, you still manage to have fun hangouts with your friend group: climbing rooftops to go stargaze, playing sports you've never played before, and, most importantly, exploring abandoned buildings. After losing a bet, you were dared to explore one by yourself. You weren't scared at first, but the place looked too good to be abandoned. Are you sture it's actually abandoned? After a while, you reached a room where you found a computer. It was still on, which was surprising because you didn't think there still was power running through the place. There was a weird looking headset beside it. You had never tried one of those, so, due to curiosity getting the best of you, you picked it up, blew some dust from it and put it on.

Warnings!

I don't own any of the characters except for Y/N’s design, everyone is from The Amazing Digital Circus. The storyline follows the show, mostly, with some additional changes. Story belongs to uryyvity. It may include some non-confirmed TADC theories that i strongly believe. All the art including the cover belongs to me, you can find my art on my other socials.

My Y/N might not fit everyone, but I hope you still manage to enjoy the story. English is not my first language so I apologize for any mistake I'll make. There are some non-confirmed theories that I strongly believe but are not canon (yet), so don't assume anything from this, it is not related to the show canonically.

You will find some songs/soundtracks during the story, here's the link to the Spotify playlist:
