THE QUEEN OF TADC
>>154175752This is way too ugly to have anything good to say
i picked up something from hot topic and they asked me to show them the order number and i forgot i had big boob loolilalu as my phone background and this picture as my lock screen and i hope they didnt see either
I really wanna see the fandom explore Pomni's weird saviour complex because God knows the series wasn't bold enough to do it.
>>154175776kek
>>154175703This is rape.
>Just binged all of Toxicwell, that was certainly something.Is them both abstracting together mean no more comic?
>>154175703>constantly teasing a ship that has no chance of being canon What did Glitch mean by this?
In the circus, when they cum, do they make like... fax machine sounds?
>>154175825It's a tragic ship, anon. It's been done many times before.
>>154175816that's the bad ending route there'll be more
>>154175816No
I only watched the show for Gangle.
>>154175816Biblically accurate funnybunny is from an alternative route. Main comic is still on.
>>154175837>>154175838oh, nice then!
>>154175725>inb4 S2 starts with pomni having strange flashbacks of memories she never had>shes getting jax ones that ended in her brainscan code when she was holding on to him
>>154175792I call them 'daddy issues', makes sense why she simped so hard for Jax
goose knows you fortnight collaborated with know terf jk rowling right? she doesn't have any problems supporting transaphobes?
>>154175703So when are the Ragapom and Abstragedy ones coming out
>>154175703The fact that the description is almost the same as Kinger and Queenie's.
>>154175716Well.... That was ass.It was good for a grand total of 2 chapters, everything else was just bad, like an incredibly badly written anime type shit I don't know why specifically but I've watched a ton of anime back in the day some of them were just awful and toxic chapter 3 onwards felt exactly just like thatIt tries too hard to make Jax some edgy shit, BRO it just got me, it reminds me of seven deadly sins, I'm fucking serious I got major seven deadly sins vibe from it after reading all the chaptersAlso ribbit is nowhere she don't exist in toxic I guess despite it coming out after ep6 so that was a huge missed potential, ragatha still does nothing even in fanfics, and pomni is sidelined hard af basically just demoted to being jax's fixation Conclusion? 2/5 stars because there were only 2 good chapters. You anons enjoyed reading that????

>>154175792Kinger was the savior. But he's retarded so Pomni just filled in for him.
>>154175874lmao
https://x.com/i/status/2065452123505172937great comic, english issues aside
>>154175703Pomni has completely lost her mind. She has gone crazy.
>>154175875
>>154175875Wow that's actually insanely lazy of them.
>>154175896>>154175874Abstragedy is literally canon and they wanted to do a damn good job of convincing us that Ragapom was too (at least as far as best friends).So what reason do they have to not make them?
>>154175890this is pretty standard girl behavior, they give you the food that they don't like. also who am I to turn down free food?
> toxic threadEh, still gonna share it.Spent the day rewriting the Peri timeline in episode format, reworked the whole dynamic with Jax and included several possible endings cos I still can't make up my mind on which is more appropriate.https://sharetext.io/pscqa12rFraid it still rushes a lot of arcs and doesn't give Gangle or Kinger much to do though.
>>154175892being the saviour is different from a saviour complex.
>>154175921Well, merch needs to sell for starters.
>>154175921Abstragedy is probably in the pipeline but yeah it's ridiculous that it wasn't part of the movie merch line. At this point I wouldn't be surprised if they try to force Jax into some merch with Gangle or Zooble.
>>154175884>It tries too hard to make Jax some edgy shitIts kinda the appeal. Not for everyone tbf.
>>154175779>Plugging your ears to truth
>>154175948If Glitch can make merch of Pomni hugging a blob they can afford to make an abstragedy keychain.
What's the best TADC fancomic?

>>154175703Those seams couldn't be more visible if they were glowingSide note, I wonder if the jax one from the ribbit set works with this pomni.
>>154176018Non-binary falls under the trans umbrella so it is a queer relationship

>>154176102Conflict of interest their vas were exes unfortunately so you can see how awkward it would be, but honestly I don't mind this ship, zooble is the only one that actually stands up to jax while also not playing along with his bullshit, could have been a fun dynamic ngl
jax paws...
>>154176142I hate Jax's dick but that's a ship I could enjoy because it feels like, once they'd get the hate sex out of the way, both parties would actually be equals, instead of whatever funnibunni has going on.

finally saw itcalled brainscans from the start and people got mad at mecalled closeted transgender jax from uhhh whenever gooseworx posted that doodle of him holding a vial of estrogen or whatever I think it was like 3 or 4it was good
>>154176247i know but jax looks really cute with them.
Would you buy a Jaxhed?
>almost finished reading BackpropagationYou know, I gotta say. I thought the twist with Ribbit would turn me off the story entirely when it was revealed, but goddamn it was done in such a good way that I dunno how you make the same story as good without it.
It’s my birthday and now Ragatha is the younger woman.
>>154176277glad someone else liked it. i know it's not perfect but man for the story goose obviously wanted to tell it's pretty damn satisfying
If Ragatha marries a princess, are they both princesses, or does the princess become Queen?
I hate that everyone simps over Jax or Pomni when Caine is right there being so fuckin sexy
I'm sorry bros but I can only simp for Gangle
>>154176371Zooble…
When I used to play Fortnite I had an extremely autistic playstyleI purposely went solo on the teams queue and hat I did is injury someonw and kindap a player towards the nearest bed i could find and throw it over and over against it until his teammates came to rescue him or he disconnectedImagine yourself minding your business and suddenly Pomni kidnaps you and princess-carries you kicking and screaming towards the nearest bed, that ll be me in a few hours
>>154176314Happy birthday lad
Reading Backpropagation rn this shit goofy as hell
she is so tall guys
>>154176314Merry Birthmas, Ragathug
>>154176287This is a fetish thing, isn't it? Where did you even find this?
>>154176404Yeah…
>>154176371> Ragatha is the short oneThay shit feels so cursed but I'm also biased
>>154176398A bit, but give it time. It'll suck you the fuck in after a few chapters.Dotty is the best OC I've ever seen written into a fanfic
>when Caine has to un-glitch Pomni AGAIN because she keep trying to sleep with the Jaxdog
>>154176348Personally I simp for Zooble but Caine is good too
>>154176435ok i'll give it a chance, too drunk to read rn though
>>154176435NTA but sell me on itI wanna hear what you say
Crikey
>>154176253I wonder if she also won't fuck him. Not because he's a rabbit, but because he's black.
>>154176257why not both?
>>154176447Yeah I'd probably sober up before jumping into it. It's long as fuck and you'll need your focus to truly get immersed in it.>>154176456Post ep 6 funnybunny fic that has absolutely fucking excellent world and lore building. I'm not even reading it just for the funnybunny anymore. It's also written with AI/LLM concepts in mind and plays with those concepts in really interesting ways. I'd say it's just your average every day "broken Jax" fic but there's just something more to this story I've not seen in any other Jax centered TADC fic.
>>154176398>Backpropagation>>154176435> Loli ladybugAight, I'm curious. What's it about?
>>154176498Ill check it out as someone with a slight distaste for funnybunny.
>>154176467
>>154176226Yuck.
>>154176500>loli ladybugI will NOT allow you to sexualize the ladybug. You'll understand if you actually read far enough into it to meet Dotty.>>154176526I'm not sure how much people who dislike funnybunny would enjoy it. It's pretty heavy on the funnybunny stuff, but if you can look past it there's some really fucking interesting storytelling here.
> Ragatha would need model rebalancing to be in Fortnite
show should've been about what it means to be real and have the cast doubt their existence in different waysmaybe some more regular-life adventures that they try to use to cope but end up feeling worse because which causes them to think if they really want real life or notand caine wouldn't the villain because he is a needy austist that wants love but because he thinks the real world sucks and that they should be happy that they have the chance of being in his little world he made for them cuz after all in his point of view they knew what they were getting into when they put the headsets
>>154176500>Aight, I'm curious. What's it about?I was thinking about how to answer this without basically just saying "abloo abloo I'm Jax and I'm a monster" and I just realized that Jax's relationship with Ribbit seems actually far more important to the story than Pomni's relationship with Jax. If you're alright with a significant canon divergence with Ribbit, I think he's got the most interesting story bits in the entire fic.
>>154176542>I will NOT allow you to sexualize the ladybug. You'll understand if you actually read far enough into it to meet Dotty.Didn't mean to. Sry
>>154176422Oh my god, this is so yuri, it's like a damsel waiting for her knight to return safely, ahhh my heart
>>154175875You know why.
show should've been about pomni sucking jax's fingers
>>154176558Feels like a good premise for a TADC clone - assuming one can get away with making that. Imagine being able to conjure the wildest fantasies but all your public wants is the boring shit they already had outside.
Ragatha's favorite chips are pizza flavored pringles
>>154176261This would be a funny comic.
>>154176606Show should've been about Jax taking off gloves so hand fondle poke prod grasp interlinked
>>154176422> Ragatha waiting for Pomni to come back from the war
>>154176314happy birthday!!
>>154176404>>154176422>>154176476>>154176589DAMN, I NEED MORE TALL POMNI RIZZING RAGATHATHAT'S SO YURIFUL
>>154176647very true
https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/4497968274/zooble-figure-digital-circus-high?gpla=1&gao=1& Can you ge this for me?
>>154176664The only thing more lame than Ragatha is that filthy deer you just posted.
cried at pomni refusing to let Jax go despite his pleas that he doesn't deserve love or forgiveness, harder than I have in a long time
>>154176558I felt like Jax's whole thing was building up to something much more existentialist than what we got.
>>154176626I just think the shoe had something set up with ep1 to 3 then got a little blurry in ep4(still best ep tho) but then kinda lost it's way completely from ep5 and onwards
>>154176704yeah he was coping with things being fake and that being a good thing or whatever but that kinda didnt go anywhere his issue was something completely unrelated lmao
>>154176398I will start soonish, but Anon said it is really long.
>>154176694I did on caines redemption and kingers last scene
>>154176558I just feel like that's dumb. I know a lot of people seem to struggle with the idea that a perfect copy of a human mind is still a human but it would've felt kind of trite for them to spend the entire episode angsting about "not being real." Ragatha saying "I always knew" felt like the reasonable conclusion anyone could've drawn from "I put on a headset and now I'm in a digital world"Jax loathing himself and the idea of making himself more vulnerable by coming out to the point of destroying himself and the people he loves was clearly some real shit from Goose and it was really well done IMO.
>>154176681How dare you
>>154176558>>154176626We can make it /co/
>>154175943I like itDoes the episodes represent one chapter?>Fraid it still rushes a lot of arcsBeing a comic/fanfic you can strech things more than a series, or split a chapter in two shorter ones if you see it would benefit the story.My recomendation is to plant the seeds of one arch before it starts, so the story feels organic.You can also skip some character development that also happens in the canon that Peri doesn't knows or doesn't really affects her, for example Gangle and Pomni arch in episode 4 can simply be shown in the background, as it is shown that they go to the fast food adventure during the end of Episode 4 in your timeline and the same things happen there.>doesn't give Gangle or Kinger much to do though.I think Kinger has done everything one can do with his character in that situation.With Gangle maybe make Peri more interested in drawings, so the two can, after making peace with her, hang around more (giving her, and Zooble, the "cool aunts" role)
Was reading last thread and everytime i see you guys describe something from the show that bothers you "gross" or "disgusting" i just have to laughLike what are you, 12 years old? The pomni and abstracted jax merch is too much for you? Are you a baby?
>>154176726like actually what was the point of him going "this is real omg" like did he also think that back in the day when he first showed up? if so why did he care what ribbit or the others knew? it's not real right?you COULD say it's a cope from after ribbit died and that is way better but it's not really shown and doesn't really feel like it's what they were going for either so
>>154176761it's in bad taste silly
>>154176780I think you need to grow up!
>>154176704>>154176726His whole thing is loss of identity, I think. Because of>his mask>smile>dissociation pupils>fragmented selves (i believe that's how he normally operates as well)>little boy who's scared of getting hurt is chained up>true self is locked and boarded up>fear of vulnerability>fear of reality>skin peeling as a manifestation of his ultimate insecurityAnd the transsexualism is an addition to these loss of identity themes.
>>154176794I don't take that from someone in the Amazing Digital Circus General
>>154176749So, just to clarify, is it the exact same premise at the show, only with different characters interacting and reacting to Caine's antics, or are the circumstances different?
https://youtu.be/q-bK75j1Vss?si=miP-7Y6OVEyzlGAs Imagine if Gangle shat herself when nervous, for science of course
>>154176815we need to lock the C&A building holy shit
who's ready for a flood of pomni porn?
>>154176749>>154176815I don't really like the idea of the OC stuff having a defined plot and prefer to keep it sandbox.
>>154176749Zero chance of doing anything post ending if it was ever made into a thing, we would never agree on what direction to take the storyEspecially people like me that likes the ending as it is and doesnt want stupid shit like jax unabstracting, caine being punished or entire sections just dedicated to loreslopIt would need to be before episode 8 and 9 in a limbo of status quo where most characters are their regular selves and where most merch ads are on
>>154176815>Caine managing a circus of 60 humans (+main cast)How would he do it?
So uhWhat was the deal with the dog popping up on the stage when Caine was rooting through the brain scan files
>>154176815The idea we had was that in a potential game (????) these guys became NPCs like gummigoo you interact in adventures, and you control anon (which is a new brainscan arrival) that goes through the main cast and try to help them while caine gets slowly consumed by the blue ai and becomes blue caine in the end
>>154176840I’d definitely try to hang out with Zooble and not go on his stupid adventures, either that or try to drag Zooble with me for emotional support
Ragatha likes the new Pomni
So Pomni was absolutely into Jax right
>>154176829Strangely, there isn't much tall pomni porn.
>>154176856Flashback, ir was showing caine first activation of the brainscans
>>154176840he turns everybody extremely low poly
>>154176856It was a flashback to Caine making Scratch and the Circus.
>>154176664Here you go >>154176869
>>154176863>The idea we had was that in a potential game (????) these guys became NPCs like gummigoo you interact in adventures, and you control anon (which is a new brainscan arrival) that goes through the main cast and try to help them while caine gets slowly consumed by the blue ai and becomes blue caine in the end??? I don't remember any of that and it's not what I'd like to do.
>>154176872Somewhat implied, it is 100% confirmed they atleast were really special for eachother (even if platonic or not)
>Sorry Jax, but I'm the top now
>>154176869>>154176890Damn, Ragatha, don't be so easy and bottom
>>154176872I don't think they were in love with each other but part of the tragedy is that they would've been good for each other if Jax wasn't Jax lmao
>>154176880He can render many high quality npcs at once. Like the Candy Kingdom crowd.I think they are all low poly on the monitor, and only high poly in their in game vision though is my headcannon.
>>154176895Sorry i should have said idea that SOME of us had lolAnd while i understand you want your guy to interact with the main cast as a main character, theres just too fucking many of them to realistically to make this work in an actual gameObviously when we are just having fun we can say they are brainscans too, its just in the context of an actual game where it makes sense to use them as gummigoo like npcs
i thought the idea with the ocs was that they came in waves and they all abstracted before the pilotyoure supposed to make multiple casts with that huge list of ocs
>>154176923(me)But if you have better ideas you can say it here >>154176929They can be whatever we want, im just speaking specifically in the extremely unlikely chance the incredible digital realm became an actual thing you can play
>>154176917i feel like those are like the crowds from mario kart gamesnot actually npcs not even fully rendered stuff just looping animations probably on a 2d plane when theyre too far away idk
>>154175972Pomnu
>>154176743Being the mom of the group isn't exciting and is a thankless job
AHH DAMN THIS 25-YEAR-OLD BRAT
>>154175875They know where the money is.
>>154176864I meant how would Caine deal with it. But in that case I'd just wander around or sit in my room until someone calls on me. The Circus itself bars me from pretty much all of my hobbies so at best maybe I could try and conjure.
>>154176869She wants to get (wo)manhandled by tallmni (understandable)
>>154176929There's never been a consensus because if you do that you're gonna have to make a wiki or something and nobody wants to take a break from the thread and come back after a week and find out their OC's story's been decided for them. Everyone's been allowed to do whatever and it's just been a matter of learning how to "yes, and" different people.
reminder i can canonically say this to ragatha
>>154175903I like this comic evoking a lot of anons hate towards the finale, but anytime I see fanarts of Jax like this he is insanely out of character.
>>154176974Conjuring is a blessing and a curse. Gangle and Jax would conjure freaky shit,fuck it so would I
Most people have been doing their characters come before episode 8 and i specifically choose to make mine a post episode 9 thing for story and character reasons, its not like this all that serious anyway we dont need to be so strict on what we do
If Jax ever recovers, just how dry is Pomni going to leave him when they have sex?
>>154175917crikey :))))
Post ep nine Caine can’t make brain scans anymore?
I will never understand people who get a bee in their bonnet over the brainscan thing. >all of their character development was nullified! nothing mattered in the end!the premise of the show was never actually>a bunch of people trapped in a computer need to escape to the real world where their lives matterit was>how do these people survive in an existentially terrifying situation from which there is no escape?like you've got all this shit being browbeaten into you "YOUR LIFE HAS MEANING IF YOU CHANGE ONE PERSON'S LIFE FOR THE BETTER" etc and people still be like "damn pomni can't go back to being an accountant for aldi? what's even the point..."
I get so happy when I see him you guys don't understand
>>154177039Answers are lore, so we'll never know :^)
Why does my mom shill for Israel so much?
i almost forgot, look what i picked up after 2 months of waiting for it to be delivered to my local hot topic
>>154176994I've been more forgiving of the recent batch of content considering he died. It was enough to jolt Caine out of his ways, who is to say it couldn't fix Jax too?
>>154176626>>154176558It was weird they got over the biggest crisis (not being real people) rather easily.
>>154177047I don't understand how people can be so essentialist in >current year.>"Oh but if they're digital simulations nothing matters! They're not real!"What the fuck is real? Why does being real give you meaning?
>>154177013I'd conjure decorations for my room, maybe anime figurines. Or I'd go and ask Caine if he can make some furniture. How the hell did gangle get or make figurines? If the wifi comes back there's no way I am not listening to music. Sadly probably can't save it due to space concerns.
>>154177075Jewess or dispensationalist and/or fox news addict. Probably got mindhacked by the diary of anne frank as a kid.
>>154176735im not saying that they should or should not be real I'm team brainscans but I am saying they didn't spend enough time on it on the show as a wholethere should be more moments of characters feeling like they lost purpose because theyre not in the real world then finding it again thru interacting with one another and experiencing things in the circusi.e. pomni with gummigoo and kaufmo's funeral then kinger
>>154177057Vector.
>>154177047What’s so fucking funny is that in the isekai genre the most dreaded ending that everyone hates is the go back to being a salaryman resolution, but there is a whole segment of people who want that for the TADC cast.
id conjure a shitton of flowers and would fill the big top with flora
Tadc does actually explore existencialistic themes and how we cope with this stuff, but its mostly character related and somewhat subtle like the caine god thing and jax abstraction being a drug trip
>>154177101They all knew it was a possibility already. They're not Simon from Soma, the options are "we're in pods" or "we're copies from the headsets" and they've all had a lot of time to think about that. Kinger didn't have to explain what a brainscan was for the toddlers in the audience. Ragatha laid it out. She always sort of knew, having it confirmed hurt. And they already went through a lot of what they would go through emotionally. Your life matters even if you're stuck as an insignificant digital cartoon character, everything we've done here is as real as the "real" world, etc.
>>154177144I do like vector too yes!
Just like with everything else, the themes of the digital circus are also contained inside the character arcs
your dinner sir
>>154176649And suddenly, a rather unsettling fantasy>Attempt to open up to Ragatha>Somehow fumble big time>Ragatha picks up on this>The next time she sees you, she has a heart made of candy in her hands along with a toy marker>She tells you to write your name on the heart, then prepares you for what would be a major moment of intimacy>She tells you to cut a small incision in her chest.>After the cut is made, she tells you to grab the candy heart, then uses her hands to guide you as you place the heart in her opening.>You can feel her trembling from the sensation, but she assures you she'll be okay>Soon a new sensation overtakes you as you feel the beating of her own heart.>With a simple "Right there", you place the candy heart right next to her own>As you sew her back together, she wimpers to you in that awkward, but delicate voice of hers, clearly in pain but putting up a supporting front.>"Whenever you need that confidence boost, I hope you think of me and feel my heart beating next to yours. Remember that I'll always be rooting for you."
>>154176411on /co/
>>154177145I've never seriously read isekai except for a few chapters of kumo but the overpowered hero going back to being a salaryman sounds way fucking funnier than them just living their fantasy no strings whatsoever
I related to how the characters reacted to finding out they were brainclones because that was always my response to similar hypotheticals.>broooo we’re in the matrix we’re running on God’s computer>duuude what if we’re just God’s dream>you’re just a brain in a vat everything is a hallucinationOkay? Then that’s what reality and life is. It’s what I can experience and interact with, so it’s meaningful to me.
>>154177186
>I love you so much, Pomni!
>>154177220lesbiabs...
wow wowa guess what came in da mail today
So when did the wheels fall off this series for you? for me it's around 7 or 8. Oh I knew something was wrong by 4 or 5, but the concept and interesting premise kept me around. Too much talk about feelings, four of the characters talk exactly the same. It's very strange. Generally you write dialogue for the character, not dialogue that you want to say. Its a subtle difference but its there. The trans stuff doesn't really bother me, I thought that was fine if a little heavy handed but fine. This show lacks any nuance, the dialogue speaks in vague platitudes and therapy mumbo jumbo, to the point of word salad. I am curious on who are the people you hear crying on the movie leak. Why are you crying? Are you alright? Why are you so emotional? That is not healthy. Im unironically worried about people who do this. It strangely reminds me of Nu Trek in the same way. It sucks because you have really good character designs, excellent voice acting, great animation. Genuinely felt a little 90s, lots of great callbacks. I just can't help but feel they wasted the primary plot point. I could have put up with the therapy babble (since this unfortunately seems to be a generational issue with how young people need to write their trauma into everything) if they stuck the landing. You just cant do the brain scan ending. What was the point of everything? Anyway heres my favorite little retard in my image

>a cartoon largely about a closeted cartoon rabbit's suicide outperformed star wars and the backroomswhat does this mean for the future of film?
>>154177267They never did baby
>>154177263put her in a jar
>>154177267Never did.>>154177277They probably gonna fund a mr beast movie after this
>>154175903This is amazing, I don't even mind the English issues, the quality far outweighs it.
>>154177267Never. We have utmost faith in GOATworx
i made the funny comic, sorry if its long
I watched the final episode in theaters last week and I felt disappointed. It seemed like it was just jax sad hours and crying. However I can't say this was a complete surprise, I knew going in that the show had a focus on relationships but man. I can't even call the jax abstraction an external threat, she literally was just hugging the thing for who knows how long and was fine. I just wish there was something more to it that what we got in the end, even the caine stuff seemed half baked.
>>154176825>>154176815Honestly, less than 10 of these guys have actual defined characters, and that's about how many people got into the Circus in canon so I figure a lot of the extra, less fleshed-out ones would be NPCs from various adventures-- maybe there's a B-plot where a bunch of asset AIs run too long and start getting self-aware, running around "backstage" and causing trouble for Caine.
>>154177311delightful
>>154177311Fishguy is so mean to polly i cant believe hes friends with him
>>154177267They didn't fall off but the focus on Jax toward the end make the suspension shaky. If there was one question whose answer didn't need to be stretched across five episodes or so, it was "why is Jax an asshole".
>>154177311>poily gets evil ragathathat's not a punishment for him
>>154177326fishguy is under a lot of stress, being married to ragatha's mother amd all
How do i say that jax and caines character is just inherently more interesting than C&A loredrop or most other characters and speaks better in relation to the story and message of the show besides maybe i guess Kinger without people thinking im a jaxfag or a cainefag? (even though i am a cainefag)
>walk out of theater after the movie>sunny day in the city lots of bustle and activity>isn't she lovely playing in my headthe perfect day...
>>154175874>>154175921>>154175949Given how Abstragedy only became canon in a quick no-dialogue scene during the credits sequence, I get the feeling it was a last minute addition.I think at one point they realized Zooble and Gangle do almost nothing in the movie (save for Zooble using their parts to save Pomni and leash Jax), so they made that to keep their fans satisfied.
Left or Right?
>>154177351youre god damn right its not
>>154176759>I like itYey. Did you prefer a particular ending by any chance?>Does the episodes represent one chapter?I was more so trying to imagine how much could fit in the series half-hour format for the lel. Don't know in what format or scale I'd tell the story if I went through with it.>My recomendation is to plant the seeds of one arch before it starts, so the story feels organic.Aye, definitely. Like Ragatha already showing concerns about Jax's and Peri's relation in E5.>You can also skip some character development that also happens in the canon that Peri doesn't knows or doesn't really affects her, for example Gangle and Pomni arch in episode 4 can simply be shown in the background, as it is shown that they go to the fast food adventure during the end of Episode 4 in your timeline and the same things happen there.Saves a lot of time compared to writing a completely new set of events and making sure it still reaches the sams goals as canon.>With Gangle maybe make Peri more interested in drawings, so the two can, after making peace with her, hang around more (giving her, and Zooble, the "cool aunts" role)Yeah, that's too cute to miss out on. Plus it'd make sense Gangle would be one of Peri's favorite persons to hang out with.Thanks for the feedback!
>>154177356dont forget shadow ragatha abusing him as well
>>154177385Sling bikinis are my weakness
>>154177385Left on Pomni, right on Evil Pomni.
>>154175855>that level of detail on the leather
>>154177393the forbidden Shadoyakodon...
>>154177267The wheels never fell off, it did the thing I expected and signed up for. The worst individual episode is episode 7, not because it’s bad, but because it is the least rewatchable. Episode 8 and 9 are both good.>you just can’t do the brain scan endingWhy?
>>154175703ordered mine i hope we get a gangle and zooble one
>>154177358Like jax provides the secondary conflict of the show while caine provides the primary, it is reversed after episode 8 but it still is a story about both of them and how the path they choose for themselves gave them opposite endings, and their relation to the message of TADC is just kinda inherently more interesting than what other characters might have been able to say Not that the other characters are bad of course, they are just secondary to the story and speak about different things
>they focused on a few strong character arcs instead of giving every character equal shift and making it messy as hellshock and horrors
damn, she is 25
>>154177358>C&A loredropPoint out there's not that much to C&A's lore that's inherently interesting and a lot of it us easy to infer.>regular software company>works on AI>one researcher suffering from a tumor researches a way to scan his mind and cheat death>AI goes rogue>eats its successor>hijacks their network>genius researcher dies>company effectively loses years of work>goes bankruptThere's very little deep lore beyond it.
i dont know what was in the box ragatha was carrying at the ending when she walked past zooble's room
>>154177441Truly the character-driven show of all time
What do we think of this Pomni?
hooway :D
>>154177453it was a promise ring for her gf Pomni
>>154177441the problem is that I don't find Jax very compelling, ever thought about that?
>>154177457Deviates so far from Pomni that it's almost a new character.
>>154177358At that point in the story, the two philosophical adversaries (antagonists) butting heads against Pomni (and the show’s) philosophy is the most climactic and interesting resolution.As a Cainefag what I selfishly wanted was Caine as the primary focus/test and Jax as the secondary, but those roles flipped is just as valid for the story.The only non-adversary character in the series that could have used a bit more is Ragatha, everyone else was delivered on to an appropriate degree.The lore was always there for window dressing.
>>154177464uhh what was she promising?
>>154177267I believe these three things are all simultaneously true>focusing primarily on Jax's character was a good decision>doing more with the other characters would have made the series better>the series made poor use of its time
>>154177441While i agree, i still do believe some characters got shafted(ironically none of the characters that people whine that got shafted are the ones that i think actually got shafted), zooble barely had anything in the show beyond being insecure about their own body (something that becomes a tad redudant once jax is revealed to being trans) and being gangles zooblefriend, and i think kinger could have had some exploration of his past with caine and C&AIts a really good show but not perfect>>154177452Yeah lol, i think i would have wanted just more context on why they abandoned the building and what was the process while creating blue and red ai + brainscans, but im fine with it either way>>154177486I agree!
>>154177453It’s just symbolism that Ragatha also wants box in her face, like how Pomni and her play “softball” and she “scores a home run”.
>>154175703This is official merch? Before the youtube release?
>>154177514so is it just biblically accurate lesbianisms?
>>154177458Jax would never do this big gay dance in the show
Ragatha will get merchandise from her hug with Pomni someday, r-right?
>>154177358Just say you're cainefag, we'll know how stupid you are from that alone.
>>154177358You are right but the execution completely went to shit which is the source of like 90% of people's actual complaints.
>>154177458with the rainbow too lmao
>>154177536Trust the plan
>>154177415>you just can’t do the brain scan endingbecause its a shitty ending that takes away the most interesting part of the premise. they picked probably the most boring way to handle that, so much that multiple YouTubers with negative brain cells called it before it happened im not even mad im just disappointed
>>154177553>takes away the most interesting part of the premise.I don't think it changes the premise at all.>multiple YouTubers with negative brain cells called it before it happenedPeople predicted something about a series after it aired for three years with constant theory crafting from literally thousands of people throwing shit at the wallholy SHIT
This is hot
>>154177580>bro is acting like soma wasn't the predominant theory immediately after the pilot
>>154177541Hearing most people complaints here i cannot say i agree. My biggest issue with the ending was how it was paced and how some shit really did need to have a better explanation (like caines flashback with scratch or how the fuck they fixed the circus)But nothing much else besides that. It even ended in a very fan servicey kinda way actually? Well the most fan service goose was legally allowed to giveAlot of things were kept vague too but i do like that about it (except those specific parts i mentioned that really did need a better explanation)
>>154177541But people’s actual complaints are 90% just saying it went to shit without elaborating further, and of the 10% when they do elaborate further it’s usually something dumb like Jax should have been recovered or Pomni should have tried harder.>>154177553What most interesting part does it take away, and what’s wrong with following a coherent path that’s guessable by people who understand foreshadowing?
>>154177553it literally IS the interesting premise. The characters being stuck forever and having to reckon with that and find a way to thrive is interesting. "But how do they get out?" isn't, really. The show was always about emotional arcs and character moments more than lore
Canon crush.
>>154177600The most popular theory after the pilot was the TRON one. People thought it was going to be a show about an epic escape adventure.
>>154177610RIP to Pomni’s first crush…
>>154177610*headcanon dead chatbot that pomni accepted was dead
>>154177267never, sorry>>154177503based rational anon
>>154175703Do you think TADC qualifies for a yes on Does The Dog Die?
>>154177553>so much that multiple YouTubers with negative brain cells called it before it happenedThe SOMA twist was incredibly easy to infer from just the pilot. Anything else just doesn't make sense. Hell, the second episode puts forth the idea that fully digital entities are still real people.
>>154176825fans managed to find the street sign, and the bus, what makes u think they wont end up finding the building too.>>154176815>>154176749>>154176863im open to a idea of a vidya, but like the rest says>>154176830>>154176835>>154177323individual comics set in this AU would be nice (esp if the one that made the OC is the one writing the plot of it) ig closest example is Beast Complex? every chapter is centered about one character.
>>154177620And to her second crush too, possibly the third if she starts staring at another circus boy too much
>>154177602>But people’s actual complaints are 90% just saying it went to shit without elaborating further, and of the 10% when they do elaborate further it’s usually something dumb like Jax should have been recovered or Pomni should have tried harder.It must be strange to live in a completely separate plane of existence from everyone else.
>>154177622>headcanonCaine said it
>>154177600Just 'cos it was predicted doesn't mean it's bad.And the fucking thing is - the way the series did it was bad. But not 'cos it was "predictable." I'm so tired of people using predictable as a shibboleth - predictable is often GOOD because people have a tendency to "predict" good writing decisions.
>>154177639Ragatha has been very patient as Pomni resists her yuriful destiny with tragic results.
>>154177631That site covers a lot of stuff now so yes it actually does lol
>>154177615Only among retards.
only my ship's canon
>>154177635Of course, i dont wanna us to limit ourselvesMy own OC doesnt follow our pre established (not really established but just quietly agreed upon) lore of being there pre episode 9, i still would like him to interact with the rest of the OCs but he would make the most sense story wise only being included after episode 9
>>154177651It's bad because the series drops the reveal at the finish line and then the characters immediately accept it. Nothing is actually done with the concept at all. But go off, I guess.
I'm glad that Caine is able to have silly fun with the crew on their level now
>>154177674YOU'RE AGREEING WITH ME
>>154177580It does. The concept of humans being stuck in a virtual mode.>>154177602See above>>154177609I have to fundamentally disagree. The bait and switch ending ultimately only hurts it rewatchability. While I agree there is a certain sadness in a never ending digital existence, the "how they get out" was a big draw for many people. I guess you could argue about whats more interesting and I see your point there.
>>154177647Oh, you're retarded.
>>154177651>the way the series did it was badWhy>>154177674You wanted more gummigoo style angst/moping scenes? What more did you want out of the not accepting it part?>nothing is done with the conceptThe whole thing about Caine understanding the value of human life in the macroverse + the cast making peace with their brain donor’s lives and then insisting they live their lives to the fullest as separate individuals in the circus wasn’t nothing.
The only reason i ever wanted tron ending is because i was wanting a more optimistic ending at first, however what we actually got is way more interesting than any others i had
>>154177602im not trying to be a dick but did you watch the first episode? how do you not see how the plot flipped
>>154177651>>154177674I've been saying this for months. I didn't like the clone reveal, but if it had been handled better I would have tolerated it.
>>154177712Than any other idea i had*
>>154177696>The concept of humans being stuck in a virtual modeWhat are they if not people stuck in a digital circus?
>>154177651yeah, predictable means you literally did your job as the writer by setting up clues. i dont see how people think thats a bad thing nowadays.
i think we can all agree the brain scan could have been handled better
>>154177736No? i think it was completely fine as it is
>>154177736There was already lots of hints towards it even from the pilot. I guess we could've gotten another episode to digest it, but then it'd be 30 minutes of therapytalk which these threads seem to hate.
>>154177715You mean Pomni’s false “want” which was revealed to not be a thing and then we learn her “need” in episode 2 and 3?
>>154177610real I wonder if he was crushing back>>154177647don't fall for it he just wants a reaction
>>154177696I just don't really see how you take this show as being an escape thriller. Every episode leans further into the emotional aspect of being trapped forever in a weird body in a digital world. Every potential escape is sketchy at the absolute best, Episode 7's "twist" is foreshadowed roughly ten miles away in multiple different ways, and just plain old Occam's razor made it the simplest explanation. Maybe people are just hyper-used to the setup of getting isekai'd and growing in the real world but the ending of them building the circus into a nicer place was where I always thought they were going. It wasn't a bait and switch or juke at all to me.
>>154177729this is getting is into one of the criticisms in the show, in that it got too heady for a really simple concept. they are neither people nor humans, they are digital code
The collective IQ in these threads takes a serious dive whenever gummicucks and cainefaggots show up.
>Caine pulls the blue out of his head>Bubble is nowhere to be seenSo Bubble was a manifestation of the AI he absorbed right
I think we can all agree that Ragatha is wifely and cute.
>first episode: "THERE IS NO EXIT">some people for some reason: "can't wait for the characters to find the exit"
>>154177769yes bro
Rip Bubble
>>154177769Yes anon, they are even red and blue lmao
honestly what this show lacked was a identityit didnt even know what it wanted to be >>154177759i think its a text book bait and switch desu...i dont even care the show was ass but i love the characters
>>154177780
>>154177267It didn't. The one real criticism is the same one I have for most animated works these days. Episode count. I wanted more to give us more time with these characters more interaction more things fleshed out and expanded on. But I enjoyed the show the whole way thru. My favorite episode is 5 cause it has a lot of adventures which gives the cast a lot of stuff to bounce off of which each other and gimmicks of each adventure AND we also get good interactions both comedic (President Pomni) and more character driven (Star Gazing/BaseBall). So didn't lose me but I would have loved if it was longer.
You guys all criticize this show for things that it did well and not for the things it actually did it badly
>>154177711>whyTL;DR it came too late and meant too littleThe last thing this series needs is more sitting and moaning existentially about things, don't get me wrong, but you could cut the brainscan thing from the show and would that much change? You'd lose>the ending reel with all the real world counterparts (which I actually think would be a good thing to dump)>MAYBE an excuse for Jax to abstract, as if the series hadn't spent the last four hours telling you how unstable Jax was and how he was on the verge of abstracting basically 24/7.It simply adds nothing.
>>154177765It’s not too heady when the show itself outright exclaims that they are people with meaningful hardships and lives, directly and indirectly, over and over. If you watch this show and connect to these characters and then suddenly say they aren’t people now because soma, then the problem is your own inability to engage with science fiction.
>>154177742Then you should check out this cinematic masterpiece, I'm certain you'll be entertained for hours https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJNK4VKeoBM
all it needed was like 2 or 3 more episodes thats it
>>154177385Left, right always seemed trashy to me.
>>154177784I mean episode seven is the most "THEY ARE NEVER GETTING OUT HERE IS WHY" thing ever
>>154177817The world is confusing when you're dumb, huh?
>>154177823im sorry thats theres sincere, correct and honestly pretty tame criticism about your favorite show but to insult people because of it makes me think you should seek therapy. i am worried for your health.
>>154177822>the last thing this series needs is more sitting and moaning existentially about thingsthis is not a slice of life anime, characters are allowed to have existential thoughts
>>154177828If you not gonna argue in good faith then fuck off
>>154177769I didn't understand why he set it free but later locked a similarly looking blue orb on a shelf in the credits.
>>154177843Sugar-clit would've worked just fine and flowed a lot better
Just watched itSo what's the consensus on the locked up sticker removed Jax door?
>Season 2>Its an interquel taking place somewhere between episode 3 and 5.>No actual plot just adventure of the dayHow would you respond?
>>154177868Split between being the Pomni abstraction room and the Jax opens up to others and trusts them room.
why does this show attract so many autistic people? the ending was subpar, i don't even think thats a controversial statement but here its like you're insulting god
>>154177857An ai just floating around would probably be dangerous wouldnt it?>>154177868Dont know which one you specifically talking about but if you are talking about the chained door its heavily debated its what he would do if pomni abstracted
So I understand that bubble was the blue AI and Caine "released" the blue AI (but also stuck it under a glass vase). Why didnt the blue AI, the thing that was the source of a lot of Caine's power regain form once it was separated from caine? Why is it now just a glowing ball?
>>154177854nta but I think his point is that the amount of doing so and it leading to nothing burger situations is why they didn't need more padding of the show doing what is functionally nothing to the story besides freaking out
>>154177854Don't be like that.There's such a thing as too much of a good thing.
Does Canada still exist in TADC? If so, why?
This 25-year-old brat is a fucking bitch
>>154177868Zooble porn stash
>>154177828Use your words instead of insisting consensus with a position you can’t even explain.>>154177817What did it actually do badly?I swear the critics are the biggest vagueposters of all time>>154177852I’m sorry but that’s not a response to what I said, which was not an insult. Suspension of disbelief is an expectation for speculative fiction.
>>154177872id like that
>>154177868what happens if pomni abstracts, aka jax completely breaking down
>>154177882>why does this show attract so many autistic peoplecolourful characters and backgrounds
>>154177868>>154177880Its definitely the Pomni door, her even being inside his mind probably means extra protection from seeing that one in particular.
>>154177889Narrative reason: would make the ending contrived unnecessary Story ending: uh idk? Probably just takes some time for it to gain form?
>>154177868It was his thoughts on Caine
>>154177905https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJNK4VKeoBM
>>154177882>subparWhy
>>154177784but caine did in the last ep? the internet.
>>154177882>why does this show attract so many autistic people?When I was in the theater there was this really annoying guy who I was 95% sure was autistic. He kept chewing loudly, rocking back and fourth in his chair and laughing and talking to the screen. Thankfully he shut up and behaved himself once the new content appeared but man the first half of the movie sucked due to this guy.
Why do cainefags absolutely NEED the ending to be good?
>>154177916>Its definitely the Pomni doorNope
>>154177905take a lap brother, you arent making sense anymore
>>154177927he just found a limited and temporary access point to the internet, not a way for the humans to exit the circusthis also means that for a short time, caine had access to porn
>>154177857Probably didnt make the cut but they wanted to show it in the credits sequence anyways
>>154177905The pacing was bad and rushed in some places, some of the one to one talk character moments felt like it came from nowhere (like that one talk of zooble and gangle in the gun episode), it really needed one episode before the lore episodes started and then one after, some of the episodes do feel kinda unrewatchable for multiple reasons, some characters got really shafted like Zooble and KingerThe show is still really good and the ending as well but its not a perfect masterpiece
Theory: people vagueposting over and over that the ending/show is bad without elaboration are probably just shitstirrers
>>154177964Fact: it's been explained twenty thousand times before and if you didn't get it then, you won't ever get it. Nobody is going to wast their time walking your slow ass through it all again.
Do you think it's possible to pull abstracted people back out?Is there still hope for Kaufmo
if you asked me why in the past 20m when i clearly explained why, i am not responding. this is for my own mental health
>>154177949Cope
>>154177927>The internet is an escapeFrankly instead of a arbitrary ticking WIFI counter Caine should have started to be overrun by the amount of virus's that would instantly start trying to break in the second he connected the server from early 2000 to the internet. The internet is not a safe place for a server that hasn't been updated in decades.
>>154177868When the looney tunes Jax is like "where's the levity?" someone behind that door knocks and all of the Jaxes freak out which made me think it was the Jax that learned how to open up to others. It also goes along with the maid Jax being like "lol no girls allowed".
>>154177601>My biggest issue with the ending was how it was pacedThat and the characters not acting in a convincing way are the two biggest problems. Almost every issue people have can be tied back to one of these, and these are complaints people have been making about the series for some time.>Well the most fan service goose was legally allowed to giveYou say that like everybody besides Jax didn't get ice cream for breakfast for life. This is a matter of personal taste but I didn't care for that either, felt too easy and unearned after the situation they got themselves in after deleting Caine. Except that was a fakeout, which is another issue.
>>154177986Wasn't the door that knocked the one Pomni opens to see the "real" Jax?
>>154177954What don’t you understand>>154177963>pacing was rushed in some placesAgreed, could have used 1-2 more episodes to be ideal.>It’s not a perfect masterpieceI’m not saying it is. I have my own quibbles with it despite overall finding it successful and liking it. But for those who do have problems, you should be able to say what they are instead of vagueposting.
>>154177977I'd say yes, but I think it's left to interpretation. I think there's enough clues in the finale to say it's possible but I might be overthinking it
>>154177909Im pretty sure the jax we meet playing piano is the one that we would meet inside pomnis room (which is why hes chained)
>>154177976>I swear I explained myself elsewhereThen drop the desuarchive link at least. Yet another post that doesn’t say anything.
>>154177584
>>154177998No, just checked again and it was barricaded door.

>>154178043who will queenie pick? flesh husband, or metal husband
Theres two locked doors, one if barricated and the other one is lockedThe locked one is jax real self and the barricated one is what he would do if pomni abstracted, he does not want to think about it at all so he just locked it away along with the mask he would put
>>154177977>>154178009I just want to believe
>I have a criticism of the show but I will never ever ever say what it is
>>154178030Zoobles dick
>>154178062(me)Considering how melancholic piano jax seems to be i do think he would kill himself in a situation like that>>154178070Where did you get this picture of me!
>>154177997>the characters not acting in a convincing wayExamples? Everyone seemed in character to me.
idk how Fortnite works but if they made a Circus map I'd actually consider playing it
>>154178067me too fren
Oh, I think I get it. It's because the finale is the culmination of Caine's "arc" which hasn't really existed at all and it gets resolved in like five minutes with some padding in between. So implying the finale is bad is implying that a shit, nothing "character" like Caine is bad.
>>154178092just download vrchat and have amazing digital sex with a jax avatar
>>154178092that fucking shit i was expecting instead just two skins.
>>154178062There are two barricaded doors, one in the hallway and one in the poker room, presumably leading to the same room. Then there's the locked door next to piano Jax. There's also a Jax behind the barricaded door in the poker room because he knocked at one point, so that's not Piano Jax's room.

>>154178090U could say pomni acted out of character that one singular time she left jax alone instead of pursuing him, but i would disagree as well
>>154177986It's even creepier, the door moved all the chains, as if it was trying to open for a bit, and they were all intimidated enough to be silentAlso, something throws a broken bottle at Maid Jax which starts the poofing of all Jax
>>154176106Agreed
>>154178106>Oh I get it [objectively false statement] therefore [boogieman]
>>154178092We could finally visit the digital carnival.
God people are going to be getting into dumb nerd fights over Jax's pronouns for the rest of the time this show is discussed. He never concretely came out at any point in the show but a lot of people read the moment RIGHT before he dies as him effectively coming out
I find it funny Gummigoo keeps being added to these things for some reason.
>>154177977Yes, this whole thing with Jax shows abstracted people are still in there somewhere, and Caine can still clear up Abstraction damage
>>154178121>Also, something throws a broken bottle at Maid Jax which starts the poofing of all JaxOh my god I noticed that too and was so weirded out. Who did that lol
>>154178053the one that can give himself a 13 inch horse cock
>>154177956should have have used his internet access to leak jaxs amazing digital nudes to the entire internet and why is the answer yes
>>154178133The franchise calls him a he, he’s a he.
>>154178112Every jax visible in the poker room was from a situation of what he would do if someone abstracted, except piano jax, i see no reason to believe hes not pomnis oneOtherwise he has no reason to be there outside of revealing that jax played piano and to give pomni the key>>154178133Literally no one here is talking about that
>>154178109If I ever got a VR headset I'd do things I'd take to my grave.
>>154177291I-i would never... she wasn't respected in her circus career but I'LL treat her with utmost care>>154177311is that your OC, horny cockroach? would read the full comic if it has that as a side character
>>154178130I was thinking a little bit that Caine's character arc felt a little bit undercooked like the face turn didn't get enough time dedicated to it
>>154178143Anyone else would think he's part of the main cast.
>>154178113>be me>go eat burgers with friends>we have seen the movie together but they aren't a retard about it like me>having a good time>isn't she lovely starts playing in the restaurant>try not to cry>friend asks if I'm ok>lie>manage to fight back the tears>finish burger>start to leave>isn't she lovely starts playing again>stare in the void>look toward the counter>cross eyes with the most depressed guy I have ever seen>smile>turn around and leave with friendsProbably a coincidence but I think he was going through some shit anyway, hope he's ok
>>154178155Nobody on 4chan dot org is going to insist that you should call Jax a she unless they're trolling, I've seen it in other places
How do you feel about this?Also source: https://x.com/MioAcenas/status/2065486304364900492
>>154178167Worked for meOnly thing i disliked was the scratch flashback being confusing, and the color parts in the entire show also being confusing (but this one is jsut because im dumb)
>>154178106Caine’s character and arc doesn’t exist, that’s what you’re going with? That nothing was set up in previous episodes? Cool, lead with that, at least you said something instead of nothing.
>>154178155It is plausible to think he is just Jax's nicer side, whom we've already met/saw as opposite Jax from the softball episode
>>154178178I'm still crying over the movie, too, anon
>>154178187I call jax a she multiple times, especially in hypotheticals where she survived abstraction and a what would happen afterwardsRegardless my point is that we are not discussing this, why bring other website drama here when we already have a topic>>154178189Shes green for a amazing digital reason
>>154178164trust me vrchat sex is disappointing ive had a lot of fun flirting with jax avatars and asking them to start being mean to me though
>>154178155But there's SOMEONE behind that door. It cannot be Pomni if that's the what-if about her abstraction. They knock specifically after one Jax basically asks "where is the happiness in this story to balance out the sadness", and they all freak out over it. I've just been assuming that piano Jax's room was the poker room, or he was the most 'real' Jax out of all of the ones there, because he's chained up and has the key for the Ribbit flashback.
>>154178143japan just really likes him
>>154178230hes cute :)
>>154178167That’s a fair way of saying it. I think it worked but it’s the minimum viable execution for his resolution when he could have gotten more. My biggest quibble with the ending personally is he had to change his heart alone instead of through communication with the others like everyone else. They fudge it a little by having them all change his heart through the internet but it’s not as good as a real heart to heart with our characters.Totally reasonable take, doesn’t ruin anything but there is missed potential and compromise by going all in on Jax.
>>154178218sorry but jax would be a huge bottom, if you want to get dommed find a zooble avatar
>>154178235right??
>>154178197While yes i do think its kinda of crazy to have so much imagery of him being chained (similar to door) while not meaning any of itI still believe he is supposed to be Pomnis abstraction mask>>154178222I think we might be talking about different doors hereAlso no i disagree, piano jax is not the most real one, the real jax is the one we met upon the lamppost, which is a combination of all of these (somewhat)
>>154178147It killed Maid Jax...which might have been to show his father killing this feminine side of him, which is now him killing that part of himself like his father. Is what I'm thinking, at least
i want to go on a date with jax and gummigoo and give them footjobs under the table and have them trying not to whimper while im eating my food like nothings happening
>>154178178i'm with you, friend
>>154178260The void…
>>154178249>Also no i disagree, piano jax is not the most real one,Sorry I meant more like he's closes to the real one compared to the other three.
>>154178133I may be proven wrong, but props to goose for not entertaining that shit at this point. Maybe they're going off that one manic "Jax is my self insert" post but thats completely dumb
>>154178090>Strange, unnatural dialogue. The couch conversation at the start of 8 is probably the biggest offender.>Characters do not communicate except for when it is needed to move the plot along. The Kinger sanity reveal in the cafe is the most obvious one but I think this problem significantly drags on the Ribbit/Kaufmo/Ragatha flashbacks.
>>154177671i mean i always that theory about the rest, but ig i dont mind of the comic chapters taking place before, between and after the events of the show.
>>154178243anon if i want someone in vr to call me a stupid brainless bimbo bitch im not getting a zooble avatar of all things to do it
>>154178247i think gummigoo is cool
>>154178277>but props to goose for not entertaining that shit at this point.Buddy where have you been. The only reason why there's fighting is BECAUSE there's a lot of evidence for Jax being trans.
What if the barricated door inside of poker scene is supposed to be femjax (not maid jax since he still acts like that is ironic)?It would make sense why pomni abstraction and him being trans would be the chained ones, he couldnt handle pomni knowing about any of those
>>154178218guess we still far away from the ready player one-tier of VR ig, esp the body suit.
>circus characters crying and venting as their world goes down>gummigoo side plot in the void probably:
>finished BackpropagationGoddamn it I'm fuckin' emotionally drained again. Guess I can join in with all the other Anons who have desperately been waiting for a new chapter.
>>154178303That's kind of how I saw it but when I said that in one of these threads I got called a faggot lol
whatever is behind that door is seemingly barred entry from the "no girls allowed" room. which could mean absolutely nothing
>>154178308when we get ready player one vr im letting every jax avatar hit. both with his oenis and with his fist
>>154178308gummigoo knows how to fix purple losers
>>154178313You should have said that when i was awake so i would call you correct>>154178322The no girls allowed thing could be a gag, oooooor it could also be another point into femjax being behind that door
>>154178322Anon you can't just connect the dots like that
>>154178338(me)Like he wants to make sure that part of him never comes out again ever to the point he even makes a rule that no girls should be allowed in that room
>>154178322a mystery we will likely never solve
I think it would be funny if even the MENA censorship groups could pick up on the trans stuff and that's why they banned it lol
>>154178336the entire show could have been solved in 10 minutes if they just let gummigoo rape jax and or let jax rape a beautiful femanon
>>154178360I think it was probably because of the choking and sex desu
>>154178360it's that or the gangle and zooble room party at the end
>>154177391>Did you prefer a particular ending by any chance?I am a sucker for good endings, so I prefer the Jupiter ending, maybe combining it with the fix ending resolving Caine canon arch, as he helps the group with fixing Peri. Like he is the one to figure out how to fix her, and tells the group, earning their acceptance and respect.Maybe even a subplot insides Peri's mind where Caine, now a lot less powerfull because he is not in his creation, shows his insecurities and earns acceptance to the group (I don't know how to make it exactly, but it is an idea)>Thanks for the feedback!Your welcome
>>154178222>They knock specifically after one Jax basically asks "where is the happiness in this story to balance out the sadness", and they all freak out over it.Hmmm i think this sells Pomni door theory to me, nice catch
Im surprised they managed to pull the choking scene off, in any other show a cartoon character doing that to another cartoon character in such a real manner would be really funny and dumb but somehow they managed to make it look actually scary
>>154178372>choking>goatfuckers that treat their wives like this or worse not wanting their kids seeing that
>>154178278Thanks for saying something specific.>The couch conversation at the start of 8We just gotta disagree here, I particularly liked that scene it felt like everyone was leveling with each other after experiencing a big fuck you moment. This isn’t an example specific to the ending but okay throughout the series I have a few lines that feel off too.>Characters do not communicate except for when it is needed to move the plot alongThis one is definitely real throughout the show, that the shared history aspect between the characters before Pomni gets there is not really utilized besides Kinger’s loredumps, a tiny bit of Ragatha’s relation to Kinger, and Ragatha’s final episode talk about Jax. It’s tough because Pomni’s purpose is to kickstart this growth where they are able to connect, Kinger’s loredrops need to come later to work so he’s got his crazy thing and suffering in silence and Jax’s shit is supposed to be a mystery so they need to have Ragatha have an unbreakable promise with him that it isn’t discussed. I understand why Goose wrote it this way (the main character is the one who forges the bonds of these atomized people) but I can agree that the level of non-communication and lack of curiosity with the characters and their shared history does stick out as a flaw of the show. I don’t see how it makes the ending specifically worse but I agree with the overall sentiment behind the criticism.
they killed gummigoo because having a sensible male member in the cast that's not crazy or retarded would've solved everybody's problems and we would have no show
>>154178400literally just repeating my post but louder >>154178367
>>154178394You think Jax would be happy if Pomni abstracted?
>>154178398damn is that your jax toy or are you happy to see me?
>jax is implied to come out right before the end>literally instantly killed on the spot What did Obersturmfuhrer Gooseworx mean by this?
>>154178342it's what i do
>>154178412great minds think alike
Why dont you try paying attention to the story to figure that one out?
>>154178417When you transition you become an unrecognizable dog monster and everyone tries to be nice but inside they’re really just sad for you
just got out of a secret audience test screening for a season 2 pilot, ama
>>154178428Is that orange one supposed to be inmate jax?>>154178442Does caine and moon have sex
>>154178400I don’t think Gummigoo could have fixed Jax.
>Abstragedy is canon
>>154178442Is Ragatha or Pomni the top?
>>154178442do they fuck?
>>154178413No, but that WOULD be a sentence that would remind Jax of Pomni, which does explain the door reaction and the following freakout and silence.
>>154178428>null jax>jax after killing his mom and kidnapping a 7 year old>trans jax>homestuck fan jax>classic jax>crossdressing jax>jax with a butt plug in public>jax in the army to fix him>jax after being raped by every person he's ever made contact with>nega jaxwhich one was your favourite?
>>154178428>goose got arrested onced a m n.
>>154178446yes, though i don't think it's meant to be taken so literally. probably some hollow threat from his mother, or symbolic of his fear of being held accountable for what he assumed he did to his mother
>>154178165he funny cockroach
>>154178453Yurigods won
>>154178459Wow that's an insane reach anon, you should be proud of your freakish ability to stretch
>>154178230But WHY
You know the thing that cinched the trans Jax thing was Goose saying he liked Ariel. Ariel's like candy to trans women.
>>154178468what the fu
>>154178485They have notoriously shit taste.
>>154178463big fan of trans jax because she looks like dr kel from votvbig maid jax fan too
>>154178446no, but there is a gag where the moon asks him about having kids and getting caine flustered>>154178454ragatha has 4 lines in it and none of them are interactions with or about pomni>>154178455jax and pomni? not explicitly but its implied that theyve all been fooling around and have been for a while before jax unabstracts
>>154178492From like, the little mermaid? I've never heard of that
>>154178499>big fan of trans jax because she looks like dr kel from votvThis is 100% intentional btw
>>154178500>ragatha has 4 lines in it and none of them are interactions with or about pomniOh, I was hoping somebody other than Goose would be writing it.
>>154178492I like Ariel/TLM and I’m a secure man.
>>154178500we keep winning
>>154178501Yeah it's the whole "changing my body to be who I'm meant to be" shtick.
>>154178485they like cool guys
>>154178519i need him to impregnate me
>>154178516Did I say you couldn't and aren't?
>>154178528P-pomni...
>>154178485Japan likes him because he’s a cool masculine dude same reason they like Ragatha for being the girliest girl.
Pomni hips
>>154178509oh i'm well aware, i just didn't know how many people caught onto that one[spoilers]i hope goose knows she absolutely crushed that cosplay[/spoilers]
japan is based for liking ragatha
>>154178509Goose would look cuter if she stopped doing the freak big eyes thing (although i do think its funny)
>>154178519I know he's usually not wearing clothes but the gloves and boots make him look like he's naked
>>154178478Thank you I try to stay consistent with my exercises
>>154178542CTRL+S, ANON!!!!CTRL+S!!!!!!!!!!
>>154178500Oh it’s fanfic cope gotcha

What is he so happy about?
sir this bread is stale, may I please have a freshly baked loaf?
>>154178563He got Homer's donuts.
>>154178556i'm shamelessly phoneposting and had a momentary lapse of judgment. time to kill myself

>>154178558it was a setup for a post about gooseworx putting explicit jax armpit porn in the movie for me specifically but people didnt ask the right questions
>>154178178We all know that feel anon
>>154178574man that just doesn't look good. fortnite players put up with this kind of quality regularly?
>>154178178I wish i had friends to have shit like that>>154178297>Buddy where have you been spiraling and sadBut my point is it's typical fan conjecture, it's more than just evidence, only 2 literal interpretations of the "Isnt she Lovely" score I could imagine based on context. he's 1) kinda gay and pomni helped comfort him from trauma (she could be the subject, maybe?) 2) Trans fem (REALLY gay) 90% sure 2 was intended but is anyone really being a prude about someone disagreeing? sorry captcha
>>154178576>>154178588Where he going smiling like that?>>154178569Use kurobaex anon
>>154178563He abstracted to zoomer heaven where he gets to do the gun episode every day, gets to bonk imaginary zooble’s head around and imaginary Pomni looks like a woman. His personal abstraction experience is playing fortnite forever.
>>154178602What the fuck Jax isn't allowed to be this cute
>>154178143Japan is obsessed with him and FunnyGummy
Fortnite jax looks like a bugHe looks like that one image of jax copying pomni
>>154178589Should have known
>>154178597You put up with TADC lmao
gummigoo SEXjax SEXragatha SEXgangle SEXpomnicaine SEXzooble SEX
Isn't She Lovely is 1000% the hardest confirmation in the series that Jax is transfem, almost everything else you could finangle a "well maybe he's just crossdressy or nonbinary or something," but using that song in particular is insanely blunt.I like the idea of the scene also having some romantic/close to romantic tones between Pomni and Jax but I think that's a secondary affect
>>154178143What's New Gummigoo?We're coming after youYou're gonna solve that mysteryI see you GummigooThe trail leads back to youWhat's new Gummigoo?
>>154178630more for me
According to Zooble’s parts the non-canon fortnite adventure takes place during episode 6.
>>154178636Next AMA by Goose on tumblr is going to be hell
>>154176815half of these are 100% fags.
>>154178621jax teabagging… drools
It cant happen in canon unless pomni explained what a fortnite is to the gang
Manga is going to add a lot more FunnyGummy panels to the original story, now that they are aware Pomni was crushing on him.
Let's go, amigos:>>154178654>>154178654>>154178654>>154178654
>>154178630pomni wrote this (she doesn't think highly of herself)
>>154178610That’s a nice headcanon. Everyone is happy and so is Jax because he gets to live in fortnite heaven in his own dreams.
>>154178660They're aware of your retarded headcanon?
>>154178640shes so new wave post punk sophistipop coded in this
>>154178386Aight, the whole Caine earning his redemption by underdoging his way through a world he has no control over sounds fucking fire. Need to save that if I settle on a good ending.
>>154177635>>154176830One needs a plot to allow growth and contrast of character arcs. Sandboxes are great and fun, and then people get bored and the idea gets abandoned.In order for >>154176749 to grow, like any idea or plant, one needs to nurture and water it. It's but a seedling now, who knows what great tree it'll become? I wonder what a storyboard would look like? Who would be in this "show"? And where would they go?
>>154175711Literally just wait a week.
>>154178720Nice, more chances for the good ending to happen
>>154176287>>154177198I want to see someone conforting that thing
