>>154381724KILL ALL JAXFAGS AND JAXSIMPS
Here's my issue. Imagine Jax and Caine are in two separate adjacent rooms representing their faults and their attempts at redemption.They start in a room that represents existing, they both go into the next room.They are now in a room that represents doing something wrong (causing the first abstraction for caine, causing ribbit to abstract for jax), they both go into the next room.They are now in a room that represents doing something wrong again despite knowing its wrong now (causing a dozen more abstractions for caine, putting on a mask and treating the circus like its a dream/cartoon and indirectly helping kaufmo abstract even though the other circus members were equally responsible in kaufmo's case), they both go into the next room.They are now in a room that represents death/abstraction. Now here's where it switches up : even if Jax were to realize his issues and flaws and feel true remorse (of which he was finally starting to when pomni hugged him inside of his abstraction, no matter how little it was still a first step), he is stuck in his room for all eternity. Meanwhile the Caine has a door there from the get go that represents redemption, its locked but he has the potential to come back from his death and does almost immediately.I think either Jax should have gotten out of abstracting, or Caine should have stayed dead.

>>154381765>abstraction can't be reversed, but maybe it can be rehabilitated
>>154381734I don't like his character, I don't like any of the characters in this show.I think they're all one dimensional, goose's writing sucks ass.This show is garbage.
>>154381779She's a turbocunt
>>154381779What faggot part of the Internet is this where Pomni isn’t #1?
>>154381649I can just picture Bubble saying "DELETE THIS MOTHERFUCKER"
>>154381754dont think about it, just cry at emotional abstraction scene and consume next glitch animated series
>>154381796Twitter, apparently
>>154381796The based part that recognizes Ragatha's superiority
>>154381779Nobody cares about zoomble period. Her and gangle are just a waste of air time.
>>154381777i just do ppl, but i havent gone consistently enough to make any progress
>>154381784This is all Goose’s fault btw. He is causing innocent Jax fans to get harrassed on Twitter.
>>154381818I'd like to do a upper lower kinda deal, wanna look into brosplits and see what those are about cause I've only heard of them recently
>>154381697>because that would've been fucking gayThen get rid of Kaufmo and make it Ribbit since episode one.>*Disclaimer: Ribbit the Frog did not show up today.
>mfw I spent weeks arguing that Goose handled the trans Jax stuff tastefully by leaving it ambiguous and focusing on the journey of self-discovery rather than the actual destinationMy bad guys, it wont happen again
>>154381779zooble is not a woman
>>154381779>Gangle not on the list
>>154381837desu I think she only said something because Amanda and Marissa did, but was also prepared anyway because there was no way the fandom was going to be normal about it
>>154381797>DELETE THIS MOTHERFUCKER HE ABSTRACTED ALL OUR FRIENDS
>>154381853What was the point of gangle exactly?
>>154381853She's indian so.... yeah makes sense
>>154381797>nothing comes of it
>>154381810It's amazing how many characters and episodes you could straight up delete from the show without affecting the overarching narrative at all.It's a testament to how disjointed and shitty the writing is.
>>154381829both are good as long as you hit the each muscle group a couple of times a week
>>154381864muh dick, same with half of the characters as well
>>154381779>No gangleReminder that there are people who need thiggerthighs to tell gender because they're defective low test men. These people vote.
>>154381876What does your week usually look like?
>>154381779weird to include ribbit and zooble but not gangle
>>154381784oh come the fuck on
>>154381777>mfw I see you
>Pomni knows Kinger for a few days>Realizes he becomes sane in darkness>Ragatha, Jax, and Kaufmo couldn’t figure this out despite spending months or even years with himExplain this
How about an adventure where we spitroast Ragatha
>there are only 10 brainscan files shown to be inside the folder>but there were at least 14 human characters that we know ofMy autism has been triggered
>>154381901Ragatha is too caught up in her own bullshit Jax was never close with anyone and the one time he did get close it killed themKaufmo seems aloof in general
>>154381901themes and such
Kinger put in a rollback command right before being locked out that made Caine come back
>>154381901Same reason that Caine is extremely nice and understanding when people want to be friends with him, but nobody has decided they want to be friends with him in the past 20 years.Remember when Jax said he wanted to have lunch with Caine and he was so happy?
>>154381861Goose could have just said "If that's what you got out of it that's fine, I was drawing from personal experiences but I left it open so it'd feel applicable to cissoid viewers too, a lot of angsts can fit in that context", but she needed to humiliate pre-trooning Goose by proxy some more.
>>154381903>Anon cramming the suggestion box full of lewd shit again.
>>154381903>*chuckles* That one's mine
>>154381864She had some interesting things going on in episode 4. Passive aggression and giving up on your dreams, wearing the corporate mask (heh), etc. But none of that gets explored or pays off later in any way.
If Jax was a cis woman, you would all be horndogging over her, don’t even lie.
>You have a girlfriend, but she doesn't even do anything!>You don't want to hang out with her once or twice and she just goes and abstracts herself!>Just like a woman!>...>...>...>b i t ch
>>154381837She did. The content of Ep 9 does it wonderfully. It's not Goose's fault everyone in the community takes some fucking bluesky shitposts way too seriously
Werent Ragatha and Kinger literally in there together by themselves for at least a few yearsRagatha not being just as bad mentally as Kinger is a bit strange
ragatha isn't a good person she just fakes being nice to be liked which makes her more evil than jax who fakes being mean as a projection. People who like ragatha even though she's fake and hate jax cause he's mean are evil and narcissistic and only care about how they feel in their hugbox instead of actual mental health and they're the real problem cause even with all the modern understandings about mental health they still gatekeep how people are allowed to be like they're boomers. the same wannabe lesbians that hate jax are the ones that hate all men and kill their own spawn. jax did nothing wrong and ribbit should've been able to tell he was projecting and should've looked past it but she didn't cause she was emotionally immature and could've just made a new friend instead of abstracting herself and the writer and fans are assholesexhibit A: Zuko from ATLA
>>154381903That was one weird barbecue
Gangle has some of her ribbons in your pants btw
>>154381901Pomni had the least amount of bullshit keeping her from interacting with people. She's just nervous not troubled like the rest.
>>154381779But I voted for Zooble. I want them to fuck me and make me scream.
>>154381765I don't care what some dumb cunts on twitter sayI still like funnybunny
>>154381964>It's not Goose's fault everyone in the community takes some fucking bluesky shitposts way too seriouslyGoose is a terminally online tranny. She knew exactly how other terminally online trannies would react.
>>154381967Kinger had a few years on Ragatha where he was all by himself
>>154381964jk rowling'ing your story days after it releases (on youtube) means you failed to tell your story the way you intended, and it means you're actively cheapening the story by making key information relayed via social media posts
Is there still time left to ask Ragatha out on a date at the Digital Carnival?
>>154381926>expecting Troons to not be petty spiteful cuntsYour own fault desu
>>154381975She's into anime and manga, bitch is a freak in the sack.Watch your ass.
>>154381973Its possible Ragatha experienced so many abstractions that she tries being nice to just to make sure no one else abstracts but she's not as good at genuine therapy
>>154381967Kinger repeatedly fucked her brains out in that period. He forgot about it and Raggy is too embarrassed to say anything so blocks it out
>>154381987How was Kinger so good at warding off abstraction?
>>154381864What I actually don't understand is why the majority of TADCfags don't care about Gangle. She is the only character to receive an episode actually dedicated solely to her, being one of the highlights of the entire show. She is also one of the few characters to have to not have her arc laid out through therapy speak (well, at least partially), and even outside that, she gave many more memorable moments: The anime parody, New Zealand terrorism, Tommy gun... But most importantly, she is cute! So seriously, is it just cause it's hard to imagine your dick through her or something?
>>154381981People aren't psychic, I don't think you can blame her for this
>>154382018Her arc basically finished as a result of that episode, which is cool but it doesn't leave much to discuss in comparison to the massive empty pages the other characters have.
>>154382014I think he just went crazy enough to forget what was happening around him and then just kept trucking along
>>154382018>The anime parody>New Zealand terrorismOnly memerable thanks to Jax>Tommy gunThe only good moment
>>154382018oh that reminds me did they ever show the anime figures she made of her friends or whatever jax was teasing her about?
>>154381994It's not key information being reveals though. What happened in the show was perfect amounts of information. The bluesky posts are just clarification of what Goose herself was thinking. If you were unaware of them it doesn't make the show any worse or better.
>>154382014You can't be mind broken if your mind is already broken.>>154382018Cards on the table: Young me probably would've been all over Gangle if this series came out earlier enough.>Weeb>Timid>Built for skinshipYoung me probably wouldn't ranted about wanting to watch anime with her.
>>154381779>zooble is a woman >no Jax BASADO
Came across this comic, interesting premise (a five-year-old ends up in the Circus), and they just wrapped up the first act a couple weeks ago.
>A scene near the end where Jax is getting out of control and openly attacking the others.>Kinger, wearing the bucket and fully sane, goes into Papa Bear mode and steps in, telling Jax to back off, ready to throw hands.>Jax doesn't back down; they fight.>Kinger is actually kicking Jax's ass pretty handily until Jax gets a lucky hit in and knocks Kinger's bucket off. Jax proceeds to beat the shit out of Kinger.>Maybe this leads into Jax's abstraction a moment or so later.
>Pomnis face when she saw Gangle getting hit by the truck outside Spudsys
I dont understand the isnt she lovely montage. The clips dont show jax accepting his transness or anything. Ita just clips from the show we have already seen. How the he'll was that suppose to be a coming out song with no meta knowledge?
>>154382014>"Unclear!"
>>15438207095% of sane people thought it was about Pomni being a good person
>>154382070I thought the song was about Pomni desu.I guess you just need some serious mental illness to see it as a trans thing.
>>154382014
>>154381967Kinger saw some shit. Those were the early days when Caine didn't have any self-imposed limits.
>>154382070It's an in memoriam montage
>>154382070Life flashing before his eyes before he acks
>>154381890when it was consistently, thursday push, friday pull, sat push, then sunday legs because i want to run saturdays and fridays
>>154382064>implying Kinger in dementia mode wouldn't go ham on Jax
>>154382070Everyone I saw the movie with thought it was about Pomni, including me
>>154382088>>154382091How could you think it was about Pomni when she isn't in all of the clips???
>>154382092I feel like if I were in the Circus I'd be like Kinger or Kaufmo. I'm aloof as fuck.
>>154382070Notice how they focus on Pomni and how she improved Jax's life?
oh forgot to post a raggy image
>>154382034>it doesn't leave much to discuss in comparison to the massive empty pages the other characters haveWhich really emphasizes how y'all are only giving a fuck about this show purely due to ragebait ATP.
No one talks about how Jx mentally abused Gangle even when he knew she was already suicidal. Imagine failing at killing yourself and some mentally ill faggot starts dunking on you right after you wake up in a digital hell.
>>154382108Because the entire point was about her saving Jax. You know, the main plot of the entire episode?
>>154382111It didn't, it was Jax's appearances in the show in sequential order.
>>154382110Same, but less aloof and more just not someone who gets mad. Also the adventures seem like something neat
>>154382097>>154382112ic ic, I haven't really looked outside of what I know yet, so I feel kinda clueless haha
>>154382108"Hahahahahaha, I'm not insane"
>>154382070Are these people crazy? There's no way you could interpret that montage as being about Pomni?
>>154382122She didn't save Jax. She wasn't saving Jax even before the music started.
>>154382125You're *so* close to getting it, but are blinded by your need for trannyslop
>>154382046Anon she's revealed tons of key info via twitter lmao. If she's the creator, what she's thinking about things isn't "ehh whatever", it's jk rowling style canon edicts unless she says "non canon, this is an idea I was thinking about doing but didn't". As a result of her social media posts :-abstraction is totally and 100% irreversible which doesn't mesh with what a lot of people got out of the finale-abstraction can't be spread (it just causes minor glitches that caine can immediately fix) which makes pomni glitching out after connecting with jax feel cheaper-jax is trans whereas that wasn't being treated as a confirmed thing or even the most likely thingand a bunch of other stuffLike at the very least you have to think that her social media posts cheapen the show's messages if its confirmed
>>154382138So what was she trying to accomplish?
I find it funny how goose was so mad people didn't see Jax as trans that he just had to make that stupid tweet to ruin everyone's fun.
>>154382135Well, when your brain isn't clouded by tranny stuff you tend to think of the most reasonable conclusion about the context of the song
>>154382101Sure, but he'd probably also be easily tricked, distracted, etc.
I figured the song was about Jax but I also tend to be "pronoun deaf" (songs about girls can be about guys when juxtaposed together and vice versa, it's more about the tone and vibe than the literal lyrics) when it comes to music, so I didn't think it was supposed to be a trans thing.
>>154382144nta but I thought her connecting to jax's abstraction and keeping him in the tent was a hint that they might be able to do something about it eventuallybut did she actually confirm thats not the case? because wtf that actually makes the ending a lot more bleak
Isn't Jax lovely?Isn't Jax wonderful?Isn't Jax precious?I never thought through love, we'd beMaking one as lovely as sheBut isn't she lovely? Made from love
Was there anything even alluding to trooness in the final EP aside from the hair bow.
>>154381784This fic is peak btw, highly recommend
>>154382130trust me i'm no expert either!i just know that consistency is one half, and eating lots of protein is the other! if you want to build muscle that is. .8 lb per bodyweight
>>154382145Who knows but if it was saving him, she failed. There were zero indications that she was somehow reversing his abstraction.
>>154382150ThisI dont think about trannies all day so I assumed the song was about the biological girlAlso Jax isnt lovely, beautiful, precious, etc. I dont care what the author says either. He is mentally ill as well.
>>154382040did glitch genuinely never attempt to use this to sell toys? are they retarded?
>>154382135I could see someone thinking it's about Jax AND Pomni and their bond, but even that's a reach because then Pomni would get some solo shots like Jax did. Jax is in every clip used and Pomni isn't. It's about Jax.
I wish I could have a beach day with RagathaI'd rub sunscreen on her buns
WaitWhere's my merch?
>>154382189you're mentally nigger go outside.
>>154382202Sorry, not enough porn was drawn of you on e621. Glitch didn't think it was financially worth it.
>>154382185Either way I'll do my best>>154382200That's lewd!
>>154382202Get back in your kennel, Jax you dogcuck!I mean, Scratch.Sorry, force of habit.
>>154382177https://www.tumblr.com/gooseworx/733026760639348736/ragatha-said-when-she-saw-kaufmo-maybe-theresthere is no way to undo abstraction unless she retcons ithe's just like that until the servers shut down
>>154382200Why would rubber sunscreen in plush?
Between this, He-man, and even Mortal Kombat 2, why do I keep running into media that I want to like, but the scripts wouldn't pass a creative writing class? My editing ocd is going nuclear.
rag could be removed from the show and the story wouldnt change at all.
>>154382211You don't want her buns getting burnt because then she wouldn't be able to sit properly. So it's important that you pay extra care to her buns.>>154382228Plushies can get cancer too
Ragatha cuddling
>>154382177>>154382227THIS actually feels like something Goose will comfortably never comment on. To her, abstraction is permanent, but she left the door open for people to write fic about reversing it.
>Gobo>And Boober>And Wembley, too>Mokey>And Red>And there's Sprocket, woo-hoo
>>154382144None of this is that key though. Abstraction being permanent was already heavily implied, and Jax being trans was in fact the most likely thing in Ep 9 even after the leaks everyone was saying that. I don't think it cheapens the message at all, Jax's ending being bleak as it is strengthens the message.
>>154382227>nov 2023Means nothing. Things changed in production.
ragatha was handcrafted for bullying
>>154382202His new plush will come with a brain tumor sewn in.BTW, real scratch is dead.
more like cumragatha
So, can Cain just access the Internet whenever?Because if I was them, being in an abandoned building on a computer with no maintenance AND no way to effect it would drive me mad since it would at some point either be turned off or break.
>>154382150>>154382198It is literally a montage of Jax, exclusively , you people are insane.
>>154381784>getting harassed>on social medialol, just close the tab
>>154382240>BooberDon't mind if I do
>h-hey anon, so.. we haven't actually visited the digital carnival and well, i-i was wondering if you wanted to maybe visit it with me? J-just the two of us sounds peaceful right? ...if, you're comfortable with that, that is.. if y-you dont want to, I understand...
Reminder that the new Animiniz set is a reminder of what is effectively their digital mortality; all of the human brain scans will eventually abstract, Caine will be alone, then reunite with the vengeful blue AI which will make Bubble reappear and Caine will go mad all over again
can a janny doxx >>154382267 ? seems like he deserves it
>>154382266I am just telling you what went through my mind when I first saw the scene, Anon. Tranny stuff was not anywhere in my thoughts when the credits rolled. It's only when I went online and saw all the discourse how absolutely fucked shit was gonna be for the rest of the fandom.
>>154382262Seemed pretty clear to me that he only had limited access to the cafe wifi. Either it's only available when the cafe is open or he was booted off it.
>>154382273only if you wear the ribbit costume again
>>154382262>Amazing Digital Circus 2: Caine Breaks The Internet
>>154382262The diminishing Wifi signal seems to indicate it was a one-time thing. But if it was, there were a ton of way more helpful things he could've done.
>>154382266No I agree with you lol it's just Jax
>>154382202>episode 8 where Caine tries to smooth things over by making NPC clones of everyone who abstracted>while justifying himself, Caine casually drops the brain scan reveal>the only one who isn't losing their shit with existential horror is Scratch, who asks Caine to make a couple more of him and see if they can figure things out together
>>154381911could be NPCs, humans dragged them around in and out of adventures
>>154382273I would take her to the carnival, win her all the prizes, kiss her at the top of the Ferris wheel and stuff her belly with yummy yummy cotton candy
>>154382273*pushes dollface out of the way as I make my way to Pomni*
>>154382266>Not thinking about troon stuff constantly means you're insaneOk buddy
>>154382300Yeah it's time for your estrogen shot sweetie
How do I get to Caine’s heart?
>>154382273Hell yeah!
>>154382273I was afraid it was too late to ask >>154381997Would you do me the honor of taking you to the digital carnival?
>>154382279Welp, Idk what to tell you then. To me it was absolutely no ambiguous
>>154382287>Shouldn't it be 'Caine WRECKS the Internet?'>Since he is "Wreck-It Caine?">No, no, you're not wrong.
Yeah, I have RibbitIf I could go back three years ago, I'd tell myself not to click on that Youtube link with the funny little jester and the weird teeth man.
>>154382246Abstraction wasn't implied to be anything beyond what we saw in the early episodes because caine would just toss any abstractions in the basement, the only time they've talked about it was basically reiterating things we already knew about it when pomni was asking jax what he'd do if she abstracted. The closest thing to it being irreversible was the funerals, and that's just from the characters perspective because they just dump them in the basement and never see them again.>>154382251Yeah but shows done, so you would think she'd note if that changed since its not conveyed particularly in the final episode like how she did with jax being trans.
>>154381779
>>154382309By sincerely asking him about his interests
>>154382262Nope, he conveniently got access immediately after Jax abstracted and he magically undeleted himself, and only for enough time to take screenshots of everyone's social media.Bravo goose, another totally-not-contrived plot device.
>>154382014caine probably gave kinger dementia to not go insane and abstract
>>154382293Sorry I replied to the wrong guy, you're chill
>>154382288You gotta remember that Caine had a very limited concept of the real world before that point, he probably has a better understanding now after learning about everyone, but it's too little too late
Beating Jax black and blue till he's on his knees sobbing
>>154382322The fact that they have funerals and don't even try to fix things heavily heavily implies its irreversible and that everyone knows that.
>>154382313Then you can understand how annoyed and conflicted I feel when what I thought was supposed to be a story left up to the interpretation of the viewer gets spelled out by the creator in the worst possible way and caused the downfall of the fandom.
>>154382279same
Caine is like an autist, you gotta be as upfront as possible if you want to flirt with him.
So, wait, how does this work? It's the show's theme song, there's no way Caine would just let someone not participate in it. Either Kaufmo told Caine he didn't want to do it, or he simply didn't show up for it, but either way there's no way Caine would just allow that. He'd just snap his fingers and teleport Kaufmo to the stage. Did Caine know that Kaufmo abstracted?
>>154382364He let it slide for the bit
>>154381911That was the original folder. "Dev team" we saw in ep 8 makes seven. Plus three of the four "unknowns" makes ten. We don't know why those guys are not on the mural but there could be a reason. >>154364031 Dunno if they have canon names.
>>154382018I liked episode 4, but Gangle being relegated to background character status after it really took the wind out of everyone's sails. There's just not much to say besides like... a handful of gags.>But most importantly, she is cute! Very true
>>154382350I sympathize with your feelings even if I think it's unreasonable to interpret the finale that way.also the fandom is in downfall only as much as you expect any competed show to be a month after airing/leaked
There is currently no show like TADC, is there? Where do we go from here?
>>154382347From the characters perspectives it implies that. None of them have inside knowledge of the workings of abstractions or if it can be fixed except for maybe Caine and Kinger, and Caine is insane most of the time while Kinger is senile most of the time. There's nothing Ragatha, Zooble, Gangle, or Jax would know about the permeance of abstraction.Hell, showing the first abstraction and first funeral on screen probably would have had a huge benefit to the story but nope gooseworx didn't want to show that. Or Caine trying to fix an abstraction and failing.
>>154382287>Squad has to do every internet scam imaginable to get the money to ensure the building and computer are taken care of.Id watch that.
it's not fair anons, she did everything right
>>154382379I just think things would have been in a much better state if Goose didn't tweet "btw Jax is trans and also wants to watch his best friends fuck each other" is all. People are already deleting their art accounts or attacking fanfic artists over their own interpretations of the story, and that's kinda fucked.
>>154382382Give it six months or so for the four new series to get off the ground.
>>154382382idk read a book or something
>>154382397none of the 4 glitch shows look really promising though
>>154382382play deltarune and speculation post about that until its done, thats the closest thing to digital circus going on now
Does Ragatha have any good moments in the show?
>>154382395Why would she do that when Caine has eight hands to spare?
>>154382385If we had more time maybe those things would have been nice but I think it was all kind of implied to have happened in the background just by what happens.
>>154382347Or that even if it is reversible it doesn't matter because the moment Caine catches wind someone's gone Hollow he sends them to an inaccessible oubliette.
>>154381779I'm actually really surprised Ragatha is in the lead, she deserves it though
>>154382396That's bad but again it's not Goose's fault everyone took a shitpost about being a cuck way too seriously. Yes Jax is trans but that was already borderline text of the series
>>154382414>You see this (two inches tall) scuttling across your kitchen floor at night, what do you do
>>154382425Bro, it is absolutely fucking Goose's fault. It is completely obvious to anyone with a single brain cell how the fandom would react online. There is nothing you can say to convince me otherwise.
>>154382350We only see the trans stuff because we already know goose is trans and jax was a self insert. Its confirmation bias. NOTHING in the 9 eps are exclusively trans issues. Cis males deal with masculinity issues all the time. Crossdressing. Being bi. Being gay. Just being cis but want to be soft all of those fit every point the transfem supporters point to. But not that our lord and savor goose said it, its now a poison pill.
>>154382312w-would you have me?
>>154382429
>>154382262Another question: how long has the building been abandoned? We know the first batch went in in 1997 and the next person in was Ragatha in 08. So in that 11 year gap, the building was left to rot. Soooo, where did the wifi come from? While it was invented as early as 1997, it wasn't in wide usage and stable usage until the mid 2000s. So either the original staff set up some very 1.0 wireless internet or someone else did after breaking in? Or goose forgot about that?And if you say brain scan tech and ais didn't exist in97 either, all i will say is, If goose couldn't be bothered to set up sci fi handwaveing in the story, then I won't let the story get away with it.
>>154382434Then we're at an impasse.
>>154382395
>>154382450As long as you understand why people are angry at Goose, I guess.
>>154382385Not that anon but you bring up a good point, none of the characters know what abstraction is other than death because caine just tosses them in the basement. I think its 100% reasonable for someone to go "oh, they're going to keep the abstractions closer until they can treat them since they proved they're still there when pomni touched jax".>>154382422Yeah what he said, the show ignores how sentient or treatable abstractions are till the finale, so its reasonable for someone to watch the final episode and go "maybe they'll figure out how to fix them someday" if you ignore gooseworx's posts
>>154382395she's so repressed, no wonder that hug was a dream for her
>>154382453I understand why, it's just unreasonable
>>154382429>Shit. Not another adventure.
What if TADC but Bizco is the last member of the C&A dev team standing instead of Kinger?
>>154382460I don't think it's unreasonable at all considering the unrest in the fandom over Goose's tweets.
reminder that transjax and funnybunny are not mutually exclusive

How many days is the timeframe of this show set? A week and a half? Pomni joins and indirectly revolutionizes the entire circus in just a matter of days.
>>154382262Tomorrow you could be walking along and get hit in the head by a meteorite.
>>154382480Pomni you are so baldWhy are you baldSo bald
I watched this show *despite* the creator being trans, and I thought Zooble would be the "Transiest" thing on the show. I'm an open minded person, so I didnt care if it had a non binary gay couple. But the Jax = trans thing came out of left field And....its making it so I'll never trust a trans author ever again to make a normal fucking show that doesn't center around trans issues.
>>154382010based kingatha
>>154382326>magically undeleted himselfkinger entered a recovery command just before the computer fell into the void
>>154382449They even have spent a few minutes explaining it. Like "they were originally going to lease out some of the excess office space which is how ragatha got scanned, but the server room was was deemed "critical" even though they didn't know what it all those servers were doing that was so important, so that space was left untouched as the rest of the building got tennants. and every few years they upgrade the servers not knowing what they're upgrading, even though a lot of the original C&A staff has moved onto jobs in silicon valley or seattle" bam, it explains how there's an abandoned office space still around in 2017, and even if it's underwhelming its better than NOTHING
>>154382438From the first time you asked if I could accept you for being a ragdoll. That is, if you don't mind being with someone like me.
>>154382482There's some passage of time between episodes, and several time skips within episodes themselves. It's been a couple months.
>>154382474Jaxxy is canonically a cuck.
>>154382499easily could have spent a few minutes explaining it*woops lmao my post sounds like an explanation rather than a basic example of how they could have fixed it
>>154382362I’m also an autist so I would be incredibly blunt and upfront no matter what anyway
>>154382497and I put up my invincibility shield, it reflects all damage and makes me invulnerable
>>154382262How is it the air intake hasn't been terminally clogged with dust and blown out the fan?
If a year from now glitch comes out with jax pride merch im fucking necking myself.
>>154382503
>It's a long way down, huh, Zooble?
>>154381779Wonder what fish guy thinks of this
>>154382526
>>154382499>>154382510I could see someone getting told there are copies of human minds running on the building's server hardware, but not telling anyone that because that would sound https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kpSDxYYi9LU so they just say it's classified government contract work or something
>>154381850>>154381835Unhinged what did crikeyanon ever do to you?
>>154382528I don't find this tranny bridge meme funny but I'll admit this one's kinda creative.
>>154382488Jokes on you! I'm a lazy shut in.But more seriously, I can hopefully avoid most cases of sudden death by making smart choices which helps with the illusion that I have any control over Fate.As a program on a eventually dying computer I would have none of that and I wouldn't wish it on anyone.
>tfw seeing Ep 9
Grant Best just walked away from a simulation program where his clone was wandering alone for years suffering from ptsd, all while jumping on ghetto booty like a sexy boucehouse.
>>154382534HnnnngCute
>>154382184What's the premise?
>>154382184Peak? How old are you? Here on 4chan we say kino.
>>154382062Looks interesting I'll give it a read later
>>154382567Nta but its a "jax comes back" funnybunny fic that's become quite popular. Its a bit fluffy, but its well written and the lewd scenes are hot.
>>154381837Goose is just really determined to kill any benefit of the doubt anyone gives her lmao
>>154382558There's also the possibility that he's the one keeping the building up and running, and giving Caine new brain scans to keep him company
>>154382518Because the plot says so.Which actually the reason everything happens in fiction.
>>154382536"Government classified" wouldn't work in TADC like stargate or something, keep in mind that C&A employees know that they got their minds scanned so if they had any idea what was going on they'd 100% do something about it or at least investigate what is happening to their virtual selves.I think C&A getting acquired or employees retiring and new staff not knowing whats exactly going on with the servers is the best bet. I know some older dudes in their 60s/70s who have like 1990s or early 2000s computers or macs just for specific old software they need, like old versions of adobe software and shit. If the C&A servers are like 90% digital circus and 10% important critical functions for their software/servers, they're not going to fuck around with legacy code, at best they might clone a virtual machine of the server onto new servers every 5 to 10 years and let it keep running
>>154381724It's still so surreal to me I got into this show only a year ago, it inspired me come back to /co/ to spam rants, horny post, and troll again after years of being away and giving up on cartoons, and now it's already over, and there's no new cartoons I'm even half as enthusiastic about. Guess it's time to go away again for a while and give this whole real life thing another try
>>154382465 (me)Forgot the pic
>>154382475
>>154382601also a government classified building would not be available for urban exploration like pomni and zooble did
>>154382602Pick a creative trade and contribute to the autism
>>154382592>Caine manages to contact Grant when he has internet access>Grant is so disgusted that a digital homunculus of his hot black wife was driven to suicide that he drives to the C&A building and takes a baseball bat to all of the servers and hard drives
The original Grant would probably become utterly obsessed with "making it right" somehow if he learned that Mike's brainscan tech and his creative AI experiment had cobbled together to recreate IHNMAIMIS for the past 20 years
>>154381920I'm of the belief that no significant moments between pomni and caine were written because pomni (being her good-natured self) would end up befriending him, or at least sympathizing with him, and thus nullify the entire story
>>154382643>grant finally figures out what those extra charges on his power bill are and calls the electric company to cut off the old building. The bill is already too damn high as it is.
I just wanted an excuse to draw Jax and Zooble really
Was I supposed to feel bad for Jax or something?
>>154382668lmao
>>154382698No, Goose just has a humiliation fetish for her self-insert and wrote Jax with no audience in mind.
>>154381920I don't really get why people say that they treated Caine so terribly, by the end of the show you have a pretty clear picture that>he's not just a wholesome oblivious chungus, he knows that he's ignoring the demands of the humans>he's also aware of their desires and issues given that he's able to use them to torture later>lies constantly about everything from being able to fuck with their minds to having their original names I don't think people just going "wowee zowie caine let's be friends and maybe stop forcing adventures on us!" would've worked for most of the show. He needed to be taken down a peg and see how small he was, otherwise he was just going to keep treating the humans like toys.
average Jaxfag
>>154382608neat
>>154382712Because its weird that the few times that they've shown interest or liking for Caine he's gushed over it. Like its the rarest occurrence in the world for him. Jax asking him to lunch, him thinking he won the award at the end of the gun episode, and theres another im forgetting.Early on he would just ignore what they're saying and disappear, or do like random sequences or toss them into adventures, then disappear for a few days.Obviously he ignores them or glitches out when they rant at him like zooble when Caine wants therapy, but if they were like "I really enjoyed your adventures but we don't see you ever really outside of them, do you want to spend time with us" might have resulted in a dozen less abstractions.And I know "there would be no story" but when that is used so many times in a story (worst one was pomni watching jax walk off to commit suicide and did nothing) it cheapens it
>>154382527god I just need to hold her tight until she knows how good she is and that everything's okay
I miss Jax
It’s okay he said she was sorry
I don't.
>>154381967>is a bit strangeThe whole show is senseless regarding the setting and the timeframes. Why are new scans being made? Why does no one ever wonder or talk about how exactly they came upon the scan machine before getting there. Why does Ragatha seem to barely know Kinger when she was basically alone with him for quite a while and based on her character she would've tried to help the crazy lonely old man. None of this fits together because it exists only to serve the dramatic setpieces Goose came up with during writing
holding Ragatha's handholding Princess Loolilalu's handholding Evil Ragatha's handsimple as
What if Goose wanted to tell an in-universe transition story, but didn't have it in them to cast anyone as "the transphobe"?
>>154382762i miss jax... who else am i supposed to be rivals with? zooble?
good night ragathugs
>episode starts>the characters are npc clones>anyway, moving on...

>>154382847>you either live straight and DIE or you're a cuckSounds like a certain JAX TRANNY i know, toby fox and gooseworx probably collabed to shit on their fandoms for pride month
>>154382838>>154382847>non lesbian cuck routes also end in suicide holy shit what a a coincidence
I wish with all my heart that they didnt make jax a transfem.... I just wanted a softboi that still wanted to fuck women...
>>154382974Too bad. You got an autogynephile who wants to watch women fuck other women while he beats his meat in the corner in a Superman costume.
Jaxfag salt is delicious.
>>154382868>Jax getting the biggest gains this weekgee i wonder why
I wish I could go back a year in time and stay there
>>154382918>>154382942We need to humble yuri tards, this is too much.
>>154381784My life has more value than grown adults who have mental breakdowns over trannytoons.
>>154382425>Yes Jax is trans but that was already borderline text of the seriesTrannies genuinely believe this
>>154383048Well just uh>Marceline & Bubblegum spinoff was announced todayHmmm. Unironically there's still a lot of straight romance written by men in literature. Lots of stories about jaded grizzled men who just need the right girl to tame him. Usually she dies or they don't last though because it's a series and he needs to fuck a new girl with every book.
>>154382460That is because you have been psyoped to believe tranny shit is everywhere
>>154382480
>>154382585>"jax comes back" funnybunny ficnta but sounds cringe, but you do you
>>154382492Same. This was the first and final straw for me
>>154383081funnybunny fags are in a never ending state of mourning, let them have their copes
>>154382539
>>154382539It's someone reposting old pictures, probably not the same shitterback then i felt like it's a characterfag using gangle to falseflag since these two characters never really cross in arguments at all
I guess the trans shit has sucked all other discussion out of the room but you'd think with how anti-AI people are now that Goose would be getting raked over the coals for essentially arguing for the personhood of AIs, since even the AIs not copied from human minds, like the Moon, are still seemingly sentient.
>>154383106It's probably because Caine is like the traditional idealized idea of what AI is not the "AI" we have right now.
>>154383107kaufmo was too based for this world
>>154383107Before the end, Kaufmo is literally this emote
>>154383107Unironically a way better character than like half the main crew
>>154383129>Hmmmm, today I will befriend this purple rabbit
>>154383106I don't like AI, but I will unironically argue for personhood if it ever advances to the point where we can no longer say with absolute certainty whether or not it exhibits a consciousness.
I don't care if it ruins it for youI want a season 2 that's Jax and Pomni awkwardly starting a romantic relationship
>>154383154We're really already at that point. It gets into 'How conscious is a fly?' kind of territory.
>>154383156Jax doesn't deserve it + he's gay
>>154383156Link to fic?
>>154383156corny
>>154383106I thought the Moon and Caine part was cuteDo they go on dates
>>154382009>>154382668pls no bully, but what's this a reference to?
>>154383107>Not even asking "Hey Jax did something happened between you and Ribbit?"Is he autistic or is this Noose's writing skills?
>>154383156Seconding that request for a link. Not sure if Ive read this one yet
>>154383167This just means "I'm an irony poisoned zoomer unable to handle earnestness"
>>154383172chainsaw man reze arc. funny because both csm and tadc fucked their endings
I don't want funnybunnyI want PomnigooI know people often ship Pomni with Ragatha but I think they'd only fuck because they are effectively in a women's only prison with the only male literally being a man with dementia who probably wouldn't feel right fucking women half his age anyway, especially if he still harbors feelings for QueenieThere is no way Caine would fuck. Maybe the Moon, and even then reluctantly and he'd cry for hours afterwards
>>154383167>>154383176I hate that zoomers have recontextualised the word corny to be a slur against sincerity, all because they decided saying cringe is cringe. Well you can pry cheesy and campy from my cold, dead hands.Sidenote, why do all these words start with c?
>>154383158Extremely debatable at the moment, but give it another 10-15 years and I may have to be picketing.
i don't think we'll be ever getting threads that last more than 1 day ever again
>>154383192>only male literally being a man with dementiaYou forget HIM.
>>154383176>>154383194>this much of a melty over a single wordreviving jax will always be corny, shiptard
>>154383210>Two short posts from two different anon's is a "melty"Now who's being cheesy?
>60mil in 5 daysJesus fucking Christ. I wonder how much grovelling and begging those SMG4 chinks are doing at Goose's feet, pleading for her to do more episodes.
>>154383227beware too much of a good thing. controversial though the finale may be, it's still ending the series on a high note. better that than a slow death over 2-3 seasons.
>>154383223what's cheesy is that you think undoing all the story just for the jax self insert is "earnestness", it's exactly the opposite of that
>>154382827Night night! Just got back from the gym so idk if you're still awake tho
>>154383208Which character do you think is most likely to fuck Caine even? The Moon? Ragatha pity-fucking him?Ragatha is basically the type that would 100% do that since she's based off the character who did just that in IHNMAIMS
I tried out duffy's circus last night at 3 am. that's like the equivalent of baldi's basics meeting the hat man. but unlike goose's circus i feel like it can be improved upon with the right groundwork
>>154383238>did just that in IHNMAIMSMakes it even funnier, because Caine's based off the character who forcibly changed her into being a nymphomaniac.
>>154383159but pomni does, and jax changing to deserve it would be nice>>154383162page 300 and something of backpropagation >>154383167>>154383194>>154383176>>154383210>>154383223>>154383232>Damn, frfr, jax totally fumbled. So corny, have a melty!The reason smoothbrains use meaningless terms instead of making a point is that their point would sound dumb. So they have to use meaningless terms that are vague enough they can dodge criticism
>>154383232i don't want a self insert. I want Jax, and i want him to get better.not everyone is 100% narcissistic and can only enjoy media they project themself into.
>>154383258mass reply jaxfag melty
Thinking about a possible what if scenario earlier, or something for season 2 if it happened>Caine invents a wacky contraption where abstracted go in one end, and come out semi-normal in the other>Uses this first on Scratch>Scratch comes out, but he was completely cognizant for all of those years he was locked in the cellar with the others>He comes out completely harrowed by the experience, immediately tries to murder Caine and shut down the Circus so he can finally die, and tries to stop all of the other members as they try to stop him from destroying the Circus forever
>>154383258Jax would unironically use the word corny to get you mad. He's the definition of a smoothbrain troll.
>>154382534Holy cute
>>154383274>mass replywhat's the argument? that addressing multiple people means someone has a poor argument?>jaxfagwhat's the argument? that if you like this character, your argument is incorrect?>meltyWhat's the argument? you have imagined someone having an emotional reaction, and that somehow strengthens your argument? or invalidates your opponent's?

This has been such a weird week for me
>>154383283Goose did say in an ama that 4chan is Jax's favorite site. He would be ecstatic that so much of /co/ is losing their shit about him.
yo
ragatha sure has some interesting dance moves, not that im complaining
>>154383302Testosterone, HCG, Arimadex, Caffeine, Finasteride, Cialisno, i took everything
Corny is an overused word, but on the other hand unabstraction cope is the definition of corny and one of the right times to use it.
>>154381779Deserved Ragatha W
>>154383238I am the character most likely to fuck Caine
>>154383389
>>154383377For being an uptown girl, even in the other dancing clip she knows how to really work those hips. The forbidden dance that mom must never learn about.
>>154383356What the fuck is even happening in chapter 5
>>154383393oh yeah? or what
>>154383106They're AIs, not LLMs.
>>154383278ooh, they are so happy Jax is back, but then he tells them that he was conscious the whole time, the only thing that kept him going was Pomni's daily visits, Abstraction is pure torture, it was created by caine to punish people for not going on the adventures and not joining the group. Jax's abstraction wasn't because he gave up, it was the first thing Caine did when he re-entered the circus
>>154383399Noelle becomes a yandere and drowns herself with you into noclipping in chapter 7 Asgore has a boyfriend twink now Rudy is most likely dead
>>154383392i know this is the chadstraction guy
Isn’t she lovely?
>>154383414He is my Nega.
>>154382070I think it is about both Jax and Pomni.But lets ask Goose.She would answer some retarded shit.
>>154381899Whys zooble so pissed off?
>>154383410I'll have to play it soon. Also>Noelle becomes a yandereThe deflowering scene was obviously intentional and Toby is such a gigantic pussy changing it
>>154383412yes, who else would post such shitty art?
>>154382395The image is funny but her and Pomni definitely fuck. Jax has even given his blessing.
>>154383425I think this is from before ep 6 but for some reason Zooble gets slotted as some kind of prude by the fandom
>>154383433i would
>>154382202Wait until the spin off.
>>154383414The show is so correct about Jax being in the wrong and getting the result his choices earned him that I feel comfortable feeling sad for him. It might be his fault, he might have hurt others, but his story is still sad anyway.
>>154383409>Caine abstracted Ribbit and Kaufmo because they were throwing off the vibe
>>154382395>Pomni, if... if Jax was back>yeah?>you'd... probably want to... have... sex... with him, right?>i mean... yeah that's not really a secret>could i uh... i mean...>watch?>uh... join?>o-oh you mean a... threesome?>yeah>wow uh... you know actually yeah, i'd be ok with that>it's not too... gay?>not if it's a threesome>but you'd only want to touch Jax, right?>i mean if you want i can touch you too>really?>yeah, we could have a jax sandwich, a pomni sandwich, or a ragatha sandwich if you want...>are you serious?>yeah, i LOVE sandwiches, even sex sandwiches!
>>154383492would LITERALLY make more sense than Jax being so attractive Ribbit killed herself when he wouldn't kiss her

>>154383156I'm reading this Wtf the past relationship between Ragatha and Jax is fucking adorable and I'm not mentally prepared because it's going to end badly isn't
>>154383706You should keep reading instead of fishing for spoilers, Anon. You'll do yourself a disservice.
>>154381873Finished it current rating 5/10 the ending was kinda cute aka the very last like 5 minutes. But it was not worth watching multiple hours of episodes to see that. Extremely boring, and at times hard to watch. not scary or unsettling in the slightest. laughable depiction of mental health. Its wholesome though so whatever. i consider it a partial waste of time but atleast now i know what people are talking about
>>154383482To me it's such a real and touching thing for him to be so believably-and-not-fantastically shitty and be loved and accepted anyway even when there's no point in expressing it, yet I hardly see anyone talk about it from that angle. It's almost alienating.
Hey guys what if pomni had really big feet and just stepped on a carton of eggs i mean theres eggs all over the floor and her big useless clownfeet just keep cracking them every step she takes and she cant avoid it that would be so epic

>>154381911There isn't really any reason Caine couldn't generate multiple players from one scan and edit them not to notice.
Night night Ragathugs!
The fuck was with that weird, long moment after Pomni and Ragatha have their talk after Jax abstracts, and they walk away from each other, looking at each other? It goes on forever. It feels like some classic "it's a horror movie and two characters have a nice moment and then one of them suddenly gets eaten by the monster" type shit.
>>154383932Sleep well, may your dreams be sweet and dolly.
>>154383941Thank you Goku

>>154383869man, that sex scene with pomni and ragatha really got me going at the end there
>>154383950Happy for them
>>154383933pomni planned to not come back in the worst case
>>154383227Lol ep9 has a 8.2 on imdb making it the 4th lowest. For a final thats a big yikes.
It's a common middle/upper class narrative that people act like assholes because they've had some sort of trauma in their lives. The wealthy don't like to accept that there are objective (most often economic) reasons why someone would be a piece of shit. It's extremely important to the rich that when you see an insane psychopath, you believe there must be some shred of decency in them that you can fix with enough hugs. This is often completely true. However, on a larger scale, usually people are just being assholes because they have too much money and have to figure out a way to justify the amount of oppression they foster in the world (e.g. cambodian workers making less than a dollar a day to make your shirts).
>>154384013Jax acts like a dick because at a certain point shit just ain't real. Ragatha got shot in the fact and a minute later she's only worried about starting with one less heart, Zooble laid down hundreds of rounds on Jax and Pomni and they just lie down there for a bit
Is Pomni just a generic moe character, hence why she appeals to normies?
you know it's biblical in a way, by absolving everyone of any consequences in the finale, Goose made Jax died for everyone's sin (even Goose) like Jesus did. Bravo Goose
>>154384051She's the Bocchi. Most people are kind of boring and are insecure about that. They have friends who seem more interesting or more well put together at first glance. Pomni's the relatable mess (who turns out to totally be the most important in the end).
>>154384061I remember Goose making artwork of Pomni crucified. There is a lot of religious symbolism in this show, which is what surprised me about the ending with>It was all about le trans
>>154384061
I am tempted to learn blender so I can make an animation of a catatonic jax inside of his abstraction, fully aware, 1000 years in the future while the stevie wonder song plays
>>154383414>sheReferred to as he and him throughout the show and even OCC Pomni voice over. People who think this is some 'le trans' thing are fucking retarded.
>>154384065>religious symbolismThat's just for aesthetic like in Evangelion
>>154382395Hey, even if Pomni doesn't want to play ball, I'm sure Caine has Ragatha's back, especially if Pomni gets her Gummigoo Dutch husband.
There's a way to make the SOMA twist better. Make it so that Jax knew this whole time, not only that Jax knew but Ribbit and Kaufmo knew of it as well with all of them having different ways to cope about being brainscans. Ribbit basically abstracted soon after learning this making Jax think it's his fault, Kaufmo entirely rejects this goes crazy looking for an exit that isn't there and Jax kept it all to himself and doubled down on the "nothing is real" mentality.
Evil Jax and Ragatha were a mistake
>>154384109Where would the information have come from for them all to learn this independently?
>>154384155you could write it as the 3 of them were up to some post adventure shenanigans abusing glitches only for them to discover a folder called brainscans with the name of everyone as files. Don't need to get all IT accurate
https://x.com/i/status/2069775098756702411
>>154384173i like the idea of jax knowing the entire time, but i don't see the need to have it be the reason for ribbit and kaufmo abstracting. kaufmo had his own shit going on and apparently if Jax wasn't going to help him no one would, so it's silly to blame his abstraction on Jax anyways. Jax having survivors guilt and the guilt of being the primary cause of Ribbit's abstraction though is definitely made more interesting by a genuine belief on his part that nothing he does matters because he's just a brain scan in a simulation.
>>154384109>Make it so that Jax knew this whole timeDoesn't work1. Because he would have told everyone2. Because he couldn't have his freakout over returning then3. Because it would actually get in the way of his "nothing is real" mentality acting as a coping mechanism for his situation. He wasn't saying that to imply they were brain scans, so him knowing they are brain scans would actually muddy his actual message, which was instead a nihilistic denial of their reality as a whole. He was treating the cast as fictional characters playing out roles to avoid coming to grips with them as thinking, feeling agents with free will. Them being brain scans actually has nothing to do with his denial.Remember, when Jax finds out that they're all brain scans, he doesn't go "SEE! I TOLD YOU WE WEREN'T REAL!" Instead, he crashes out. Finding out makes the situation more real by giving them a concrete explanation for the situation they find themselves in. He can't deny reality anymore.
>>154384109needs to be more twisted into making it Jax's faultMake Jax be the one who pushed them to try and escape, and they found it out through that
>I woke up to find out Kris is lesbian cucked like JaxSo that's why we have a fandom overlap. At least he isn't a lobotomy dog though.
>>154384205not yet he isn't
>>154384196>kaufmo had his own shit going onKaufmo was losing his grip on reality and Jax both refused to pay attention to him and mocked him as crazy instead of being a sanity check and emotional support for him which is what he needed, ESPECIALLY since they could all unknowingly conjure shit into the circus like Caine.Kaufmo almost definitely backroomsed himself with the fake Exit Door at least once and snapped from the fallout and if literally anyone had been there with him, he might have actually held it together long enough to figure out it was the Circus fucking with him and he needed to move on.
>>154384229kinda weird to make the least responsible person in the circus solely responsible for kaufmo's mental health in particular. he didn't actively push away kaufmo like he did with ribbit. kaufmo was already insecure about no one laughing at his jokes so when ribbit died and jax withdrew, he lost his only support structure. he probably finally snapped when he caught ragatha fake laughing at his jokes.
>>154384196i had it be a reason for Ribbit and Kaufmo abstracting because it would be a good way to explore different kinds of rejection/denial, having them not coming into terms of what they really are is a good method for abstraction
>>154384237>ok so Jax was actually responsible for Scratch's abstraction
>>154383392>this place was amazing>and digital!i kek'd
>>154383803>>inb4 "he"I've actually never seen an anon complain about someone using make pronouns for Goose, only anons who'll complain about someone using female or neutral pronouns
>>154384237>kinda weird to make the least responsible person in the circus solely responsible for kaufmo's mental health in particularThey were friends. Also, Zooble was the least responsible person in the circus at the time.>he didn't actively push away kaufmoCalling someone crazy and telling them to fuck off is pushing them away, anon.
>>154383812lol what, what are they doing?
>>154383812What are they doing?
>>154384254>They were friends. Also, Zooble was the least responsible person in the circus at the time.still, blaming it all on Jax just ignores Kaufmo's own agency as a character. For being such a "chill dude" he apparently couldn't keep his shit together on his own terms.>Calling someone crazy and telling them to fuck off is pushing them away, anon.It's totally different from how Jax treated Ribbit. He didn't just tell Ribbit to fuck off, he actively isolated her from the rest of the group because she had information about him that he didn't want her to share. People don't just up and off themselves because you call them crazy and tell them to fuck off. At the point Kaufmo was on the edge, Jax had already withdrawn and was starting to hurt themselves more than anyone else.
I'm totally fine with trans Jax but good fucking lord I hate Goose for poisoning the fanart with that stupid wig
>>154383812I'm assuming they either posting completely irrelevant Deltarune spoilers or are spamming Troonjax and constantly referring to him as a her
>>154384280truth nuke
Okay, but did Jax deserve to get cucked by Zooble too?
>>154384282I noticed TADC and Deltarune fans are basically the same people.
>>154384280the ribbon was enough, but there are cute fanarts with the hair coming out
>>154384267mostly posting memes with the occasional brain dead person asking dumb questions like "what was the blue orb?!?!", typical reddit
Yeah, I'd have sex with Ragatha's VA, what of it?
>>154384311Lady, you're not at the Met Gala.Still a cool outfit
>>154384317
>>154384311Id nut deep inside pomnis and gangles va. So what?
>>154384276>still, blaming it all on Jax just ignores Kaufmo's own agency as a characterThey were effectively trapped together in a lifeboat. Any emotional abuse or neglect is significantly more serious than IRL. Obviously the "final choice" as it were was each character's own, but the reality of their situation, including if not especially how they treat each other, weighs heavily on the calculus that goes into that choice.A person's will to live can be destroyed by the inflicting of suffering, especially when they see no way to escape that suffering. It is entirely possible to bear more responsibility for a suicide, or abstraction in this case, than the victim if you contribute to their life becoming something that a rational human being would consider dying to escape.
>>154384333>Any emotional abuse or neglect is significantly more serious than IRL.If that's the framing you want to take, then it still would apply equally to everyone in the circus and not just Jax. Literally everyone failed Kaufmo.
>>154384384>Literally everyone failed Kaufmo.Kaufmo didn't reach out to everyone. He reached out to Jax.
>>154384399He also told Kinger about the exit and got dismissed as insane (by the most insane circus member, that'd sting), Gangle and Ragatha gave him fake pity laughs to the point of feeling bad and him getting angry, and Zooble was so uninterested in his existence that the first thing she says upon hearing he's dead is an apathetic "I can't believe he just gave up"He also wasn't reaching out to Jax for support, from his perspective he was just being a good person and offering a chance of escape to someone he didn't even like.
>>154384399everyone knew he was going crazy in ep 1 before they knew he abstracted. nobody seemed invested in keeping him from the edge.
>>154381724What what really bugs me about the ending is how Jax wasn't redeemed in any way. He doesn't have any character growth over the course of the show and every time he's made to feel wanted by the other circus members, they always bring up how including him is not a good idea. Simply having him say "I did this to myself" doesn't show any growth when he always knew that.Even if Pomni did manage to save him in the end, he would have just pushed her away exactly like he did Ribbit and went back to bullying the others. Are we really expected to feel sorry for this character just for being closeted and crying a little bit? He's still an asshole who did nothing to atone for his shitty behavior.
