Sex with Jax (male)
Only talk about Jax.
>>154414011it's owari da, nigga
>>154414047What about Lilly?
>>154414047c-can i talk about ragatha instead?
>>154414011>Pomni breaks down the locked door in the break room hiding the facet of Jax's personality he doesn't want to acknowledge>she sees Greznedge watching her and Ribbit fuck from the cuck corner>the CEILING cuck corner, because Greznedge is holding >her breath so >she can be inflated while watchingHow does episode 9 go from here?
If I'm getting forced to love Ragatha despite hating Jax, then I'm jaxxing (cucking) her. Get in the cuck chair next to the dog while I plow Pomni.
I just think femjax is neat
>>154414055No, all who talk of Ragatha will be broken on the wheel. This is your one and only warning.
>>154414055To be honest in the past couple of days I've seen at least 3-4 threads be almost entirely filled with ragaposting. I'm not blaming you but rather I don't think there's that much to complain about.Now it's jaxtrannyposting but still with raga mixed in.
I just love Jax, and Ragatha, and Pomni, and Zooble, and Caine, and even Gangle, and I'm tired of pretending otherwise
>Worked out the expected cost of the chase items from the gacha boxes>£320Okay, i guess I don't want it that much
>>154414069Sorry too bad, r63 is not possible anymore, you are automatically engaging in political discussion
>>154414052is abstraction all that bad? you get to chill out as a retarded dog-creature and have a cute jester feed you sandwiches
>>154414090I like femjax even if it's trans you moron, you're the one that automatically brought up politics
>>154414012>It means they're no longer just completely isolated forever in a bubble of a simulation with zero outside contactthe gang traveling through the internet and finding connection could be a really cool post-finale idea
>>154414094only if you're the main character, everyone else just goes into the compost pit
>>154414094You completely lose your identity as a person and your ability to exist outside of complete darkness
does taking estrogen make you better at gambling? Is that why they didn't want her at the table?
>>154414094I mean, you're still conscious and trapped in there having to confront all your fears and insecurities 24/7 like some sort of permanent bad tripIt's literally picrel
>>154414028
>>154414023one last repostgo watch 3D Mainichi Modern
>>154414094The entire ending made it so abstractions are fully sentient and trapped in their own minds while the outside barely reacts to stimuli in the dark. The only reason jax and pomni unlinked was because of the flashbangs he didnt like slowly lobotomize.
>>154414129>then that would be FUCKING GAY lmao
we do agree that if Pomni saw transJax she would absolutely ravish that gock right?
>>154414083>somehow, Jax returned>"I'm sorry for not talking to you, Pom Pom...">"For your sake, dude.">"I know..."--->"JAX! I MISSED YOU SO MUCH!!!">"Whoa! Gee, Raggy, I thought you didn't like me...">"I didn't, but it still felt bad when you...">"Uh... yeah, I get it."--->"You, uh... haven't had this fixed in a while, huh?">"You... put my mask back together?">"I found the two halves on that new book shelf in the commons. I guess you didn't care where it went anymore, but... y'know, it's... yours.">"... Thank you, Jax.">"Don't mention it."
>>154414057It peaks there. Amazing.
>>154414114What do you think Queenie is seeing around the clock in there...?
Any AO3 writers here? Specifically ones who know a bit about formatting?I'm trying to set up a custom work skin so I can use the "Consolas" font (same font used in Notepad) but I have no idea how to add it, or even if it's possible. Would this work?>#workskin .Consolas {> font-family: Consolas, sans-serif;>}I don't know shit about fonts or coding. I don't even know what sans-serif or serif means. Can anyone help me out?

https://www.tumblr.com/gooseworx/820495099819638784/what-would-happen-if-kaufmo-didnt-interrupt-jax
>>154414146>reality is gay
>>154414189no, mostly just you
>>154414178Do you think she'd be comforted at all to find out (assuming she didn't already know) that she's an AI homunculus clone and "her" daughters are safe with their parents, the couple she and her husband are clones of?
>>154414181>Heterosexuality in drag
>>154414181we could have gotten 40 minutes uncensored unprotected yuri sex scene
>>154414181Fuck yuri
>>154414114Maybe it's a kind of purgatory where they can eventually come back when they've sorted their shit out
>>154414181>No you don't get it Ribbit is a she/they that's totally different than just a normal foid>But yeah if she had sex with a trans woman (who are definitely, 100% women) then that would be gay
>>154414129This is 50% of all threads on /lgbt/
>>154414216Jax is a 4channer after all
>>154414214Ribbit is one of those they/them lesbians
the Jax we see in 1-5 is different then what we see in 6-8 who is different then what we see in 9
>>154414181>homosexualWait, Ribbit is a man too?
>>154414209Gooseworx said its permanent and refuses to budge because that'd make her suicide allegory less impactful. But at the same time she actively made it as supremely cruel as possible, like catholic depiction of hell level cruel lmao
>>154414129>She's a princess, and I'm...>An orgre?
>>154414237not really. we just peal layers of the onion back to see the inside more as we go
>>154414235theyfabs fuck off
>>154414207>yuri
>>154414207this is funny, but knocking on a door and then going away when asked isn't inconsiderate
>>154414253it's yuri so long as the penis is feminine
>>154414129>... you wouldn't think differently of me, would you?>Of course I would...>Oh...>... but not any less of you. You'd be different from how I knew you before, but I'd still know you. You'd still be my friend, whether you went by Jax or some girly name like Lilly.>... Thanks, Pomni.>*cute hug*
>>154414245The penalty for suicide is infinity years of psychological torment.And then when the servers die you won't even be able to say goodbye to your surrogate family
>>154414069But Fem Jax should be bald always.
>>154414245>Gooseworx said its permanent and refuses to budge because that'd make her suicide allegory less impactful.That's kind of dumb though, because they're still there, there's still the conscious person with conscious thoughts inside the shellIt really makes it seem like it's just a matter of bodily integrity
It's kind of crazy how the words "wholesome" and "kind" have been warped into meaning:>Encouraging people to destroy their own bodies and feed their delusions in pursuit of something which isn't possible
>>154414306I agree with you but I think that discussion has been played out and it's time for comfy thread now
>>154414282>>154414099>yfw the gang brings EVERYONE to the internet with them before the servers die>the NPCs, the abstracted, everyone
KINGGER WON
>>154414245Its insane how bad every twitter/bluesky/tumblr statement just makes the show worse. From weird world building issues to stuff like "glitch burned me out not giving me a writing team".
>>154414208it's a guy and a girl, it ain't yuri
For old times' sakebnnuy
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yo5TrzHBzZ0
>>154414271she could have been happy
>>154414271reeeeee Jax is already a gender neutral name and his design was already so easy to feminise I'll never forgive Goose for poisoning the fanon like this reeeeeeeeeeeee
>>154414271>Actually I think I'd go with something cool, like Greznedge>You motherfuck-
>Jax, don't hate you because you're trans.>We hate you because you're you.
>>154414385Why the fuck is it always Lilly or Lilith? This is like calling every Black guy Jamal Swagson
>>154414373Can we get Fem edits of Jax with tasteful lipstick, eyeliner and blush (but zero hair)?
>>154414344Why is pomni a hamster?
>>154414373What direction do you think TADC would have taken if Goose had gone with Jaxxy and Boimni like>shewas considering at one point?
>>154414417Because it's cuteThere really doesn't need to be another reason
>>154414417small
jaxfag humiliation ritual
>>154414409Lilly doesn't necessarily have anything to do with Lilith; it's just a cute, girly name. Lilith is also a somewhat common girl's name, just with a bit of "iykyk" type beat
I missed it if so but they never addressed Kinger's senility to light right? Like is he the only partial abstraction or did Caine edit his mind in a less severe way or something? Or is it just something gooseworx will reveal next time she shits out exposition on tumblr after people make more memes about her writing
>>154414444finally, some good fanart
>>154414448Everyone knows now, you think people are calling their kids these names after the rep you gave them?
>>154414447At this point, I've pretty much built up to an immunity. A new thing happens every day and I'm just like "yeah, alright that's a thing now I guess"
>>154414474>youWhat'd I do?
rare bunnydoll
>>154414450There's so much shit they never addressedHow has the circus been running uninterrupted but also unsupervised for decades?Why was Caine fed circus imagery and videogames if C&A's business was just generic tech?Why did Kinger bring up Scratch in response to finding out that Caine could manipulate minds?Why did Jax freak the fuck out upon learning that humans can conjure stuff like Caine can?What was Bubble's deal even?And so on
>>154414450I assume it means he partially abstracted
>>154414409that's the joke, jax is retarded like that and would choose the most gay stereotypical name, but at least it's cute
>>154414494The thing about Jax and conjuring will always fucking bother me, bro learned he could will objects into existence and just didn't bother
>>154414508Cool headcanon.
>>154414510>gayLilith is a transbian thing, not a gay thing.
>>154414524Well it seems to make sense, and it directly connects to pomni's idea to try hugging jax in the dark after he abstracts.Without that it sort of comes out of nowhere. Pomni never even interacts with anyone who abstracted besides Kaufmo and she never sees Kaufmo in the dark
>>154414523Pomni love burg
>you want jax to stay dead, it's over for him>I want him to come back, have to face what he's done, and live with the fear of hell that awaits him if he doesn't go through even more humiliation to changei want jax tortured more, and to know that he has to choose it or die
>>154414339>"glitch burned me out not giving me a writing team".How hard is it to write 8 30 minute episodes and a one hour finaleI know there's a lot more involved in production, but the actual WRITING part, how hard is it to write 300 minutes of content over the course of two and a half years?Especially when half the scenes in the finale are wordlessly dragged out to the point of absurdity?
>>154414524Not him but since gooseworx said scratch's abstraction was caused by him editing his mind, it might be possible that he did it for everyone in the first wave of circus members in smaller doses. Plus he has the light/dark mood trait of abstractions.But we cant know because jax show. Sorry if you think they would specifically explain a character's mystery in the actual series
the ultimate edge would be making Jax a transman, and survive, being actually unaware he's really a woman in the real world until it's exposed in front of everyone
>>154414569Extremely out of character for Greznedge the inflatable tranny cuck.
stupid fucking bnnuystupid fucking goose
>>154414565Glitch had never worked with someone this unprepared, the guy who made murder drones at least knew what he was doing, but a writing team would have helped that show as well
>>154414583you underestimate her
>>154414494>Why did Jax freak the fuck out upon learning that humans can conjure stuff like Caine can?>>154414519>The thing about Jax and conjuring will always fucking bother me, bro learned he could will objects into existence and just didn't botherMaybe he takes comfort in being powerlessIf you take the tranny angle, maybe he thinks if he has agency in what happens, he'll have to face a decision about whether to transition or something
these threads are rapidly becoming uninhabitable
Imagine if Pomni met Jax as Greznedge and saw her become Lilly
>>154414249>he was just wearing a mask all along but also he randomly decided to stop and drop the mask
>>154414245>because that'd make her suicide allegory less impactfulthe suicide allegory already doesn't work (unless gooseworx has comical levels of catholic guilt or some shit) because the person continues to exist and suffer after the "death"
>>154414603Why do you think they've slowed down so much?
>>154414417sex appeal
>>154414595I'm one of the most unprepared people in existence and I still don't understand how someone could remain consistently "unprepared" to write over the course of two whole yearsYou could take a week off to plan out your approach and get your head in the game
>>154414409But black guys ARE all called Jamal and Tyrone for no reason
>>154414603All the usuals have been replaced by tranniesI'm honestly considering developing a plan to determine when these freaks are asleep
>>154414652she lied about how much she had done, and was constantly playing catchup
>>154414663That makes a lot more sense
>>154414565>>154414595>>154414652She was working on every aspect to a degree as well as being show runner.Like imagine you gotta storyboard, make most designs, some of the music, some animations, oversee voice acting, etc and also writing the entire thing. Plus the final episode is effectively a movie.
Ragapom won
>>154414667>Plus the final episode is effectively a movie.No it wasn't. It definitely didn't feel like one, anyway.
>>154414565To be fair, once you look at Goose's previous work, like little runmo and all that, you realize that 99% of it is just low to no dialogue visual storytelling with no consistent in-universe rulesI think Goose simply had the wrong skillset to be able to write a long-running, dialogue heavy, character driven show
>>154414028I'm built like that
>>154414667>>154414666100% needed writers, needed to accept she needed more episodes, needs to accept making a season 2 that drop the trans angle and brings Jax backJax's struggle needs to not be solved by transitioning, it needs to be a process of accepting fault and working to be better. Transing would just be lazy and make anyone who doesn't isntantly accept him back as a transphobe
>>154414695hey, how tall are you? asian?
>>154414682It was 30 minutes of bad movie, 30 minutes of recycled episode 8, 10 minutes of caine's return, and 20 minutes of montages and 2d artSo 1/3rd of a movie ,kek
>>154414603>>154414662I've been here but there's like, no point in doing anything. OC doesn't get replies so nobody makes anything new, every attempt to discuss something besides Jax and/or Pomni doesn't go anywhere or gets hit when "who fucking cares, Goose sucks". I think the threads are definitely calming down but the anger and resentment isn't declining either if that makes any sense. So we're basically stuck with slow, angry threads.
>>154414706>how tall are you6 foot>asian?Worse. Europoor.
>>154414698Bringing back Jax will not undo the damage the finale has done even if you try to ignore the trans shit in a theoretical season 2. The only way to fix Jax's character is to go back in time and rewrite TADC.
>>154414708it should have been 9 episodes AND a movie.Imagine if episode 9 ended like it did, and THEN they announce a movie. a full 90 minute movie of new content, with the obvious storyline of unabstracting Jax and him apologizing
>>154414721too tall, wrong racesorry i was sexually abused by too many white people who were bigger than me as a child.
>>154414715>every attempt to discuss something besides Jax and/or PomniYou mean Jax and/or Ragatha, right
>we never saw shrimp town>we never found out what happens when jax holds his breath>we never found out what happened to scratch
>>154414735Jaxtraction, please stop. It's embarrassing at this point. I am telling you one Jaxfag to another, let it go.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zaNNLwHIUfEanother banger
>>154414731the caine thing is just... off-putting. god there was so much potential here.
>>154414667No, I get all that, there's a lot more to do than just writing and it's going to take up a lot of your timeBut the "they didn't give me writers" complaint is what I don't understandWriting the thing is the first, arguably most important step and it's also the least resource intensive, because you just turn your imagination on and writeResources are irrelevant to the direction and quality of the plotAnd even with all the other work he had to do, which I agree would be a big undertaking, it's still 8 half hour (less) episodes over the course of two years and one double length episode>Plus the final episode is effectively a movie.Yeah but like I said it was full of camera shots that lingered for a long time
>>154414751Me and Jax would be best friends~
>>154414735you can always do more>what if it was a full movie after the 9 episodes>what if it was like a 15 episode season>what if they did multiple seasons of a dozen episodes each, and a movie, in fact a movie special after every season plus a big finale movie on topIt could've stayed 9 episodes if it was written better. It could also just have had a few extra episodes before the ending, movie or not, giving all the other characters more room to breathe.
>>154414761I'm curious, do you actually like Jax or is it just memes for the OC crowd?Forgive my ignorance, I don't really follow the OC stuff much.
>>154414752should have been in spanish, then it would have been kino
>>154414752>MilkyymelodiesMY BODY IS READY FOR KINOGRAPHY
>>154414687I can accept that explanation better. He does seem like someone who has a lot of visual sense but maybe doesn't do the writing part quite so well
>>154414663basically
The Australian Digeridoo, Crikey!
>>154414760I think there were some major rewrites because the shift in focus after the Gangle episode could not have been the original intent. Maybe up until the baseball episode since the baseball episode was effectively the first "Jax episode" and was fine on its own. If you effectively have to write half your series twice, it does add a lot of work.
>>154414742Didn't know this shithole was a dating site now
Does Goose not realize he's making himself look like a retard with all these tumblr answers?Even the twitter fandom is turning on him after seeing all these "fluff" answers that highlight how underdeveloped the show was
>>154414822That's a fair explanation
>>154414796>biting more than you can chew and then refusing help out of pride and hubris
NÖÖ
>>154414858His eyes look so fucking lickable
>>154414494>How has the circus been running uninterrupted but also unsupervised for decades?Not important to the story so you can come to your own conclusion. Happenstance, Grant or a surviving Mike are aware of it and are paying to keep the lights on, whatever.>Why was Caine fed circus imagery and videogames if C&A's business was just generic tech?He was anthropomorphize by Grant and seen as a child (which makes sense on multiple levels but given the timeline that was also likely around the time he and Destiny started trying for kids) so he was fed simple, colorful images and concepts.>Why did Kinger bring up Scratch in response to finding out that Caine could manipulate minds?It revealed that Caine *can* manipulate and control the players but he doesn't because the one time he did, he basically killed someone. It was meant to convey that he can, why he hasn't done it again, and that most of the gang's actions/attitudes had been their own. It was also another bit of foreshadowing that the players are just data and not humans who had been TRON'd in/were stuck in pods.>Why did Jax freak the fuck out upon learning that humans can conjure stuff like Caine can?It wasn't the part about conjuring that freaked him out, it was Kinger suddenly becoming lucid and serious. Jax goes outside and while panicking says "this is real". He was freaking out over his coping mechanism failing him.>What was Bubble's deal even?Bubble seems to have been where Caine tried to put his intrusive and negative thoughts instead of confronting them. He might've been his own NPC before Caine repurposed him or Caine made him for that sole purpose.
>>154414863They are; they're in his mouth
I cried so hard I sharted
are the regulars still here or did they all fled to discord?
>>154414894I mean, I'm not a namefag, but I've been here since the pilot.FISH HAT AGAIN
>>154414876>Not important to the storyIf the story was better it would beThere's basically no tension
>>154414894https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MUZwblurraA
>>154414894I'm kinda here, but I don't really feel like drawing TADC anymore, so I'm not contributing anything
>>154414915Damn, Goose really did kill the creativity and hype of these threads in one fell swoopKinda impressive, really
all thats left are jaxfags, even the ragathugs fled, enjoy.
>>154414894Thug4lyfe here but kinda bored, actually surprised to see so many people off actually doing something with their Saturday, good for them I guess
>>154414836it's a public post, obviously glitch knew too, but couldn't help, these types of stuff needs to be decided from the beginning
>>154414928People are tired of the politics, man. Fr this time.
>>154414931>all that's left are our punching bags forever coping about their hero turning into a trooncuckdogLmao. I'm glad I never liked Jax. His fans are fun to bully. They are our PLAYTHINGS and I get JOY out of making them suffer.
>>154414876Love how you retards keep saying "not important to the story" as if the dumb melodrama with 0 character development where half the cast are just narrative set pieces is some writing master class and the story can afford to have the rest as an afterthought
if you weren't a jaxfag / funnybunny this show just did not have a lot to offer in the end, really
>>154414906In a different story, yeah, but the one that Goose wanted to tell had a different type of tension. If it's about them needing to find Grant through the internet to get him to save the Circus it becomes an entirely different story.
Jaxtraction while riding Jax cock 24/7 because we are treating him like hecking Hitler.
>>154414944Understandable, I wish you well in your next art endeavors
>>154414964> as if the dumb melodrama with 0 character development where half the cast are just narrative set pieces is some writing master classI never implied that, it's just a fact that the question of how's the computer still there and running isn't relevant to the story and so Goose doesn't have an answer for it.
>>154414976Which would be hilarious considering how absolutely and utterly fucked over the funnybunny fags ended up getting were I not one of them
>>154414976>be a jaxfag/funnybunny shipper>get all the merch bait and humiliation at the same timeDamn. They can only win if they pay money to cope.
>>154414928>make side character good as a chaotic foil main character >sideline all side characters after clearly setting them up for an ensemble cast that each gets their own episode halfway through >remove all jokes>kill off character who became main character in finale>also say theyre trans so even if a season 2 happens when gooseworx is less burned out itll effectively make them a different character>ruin Caine's insanity so no more crazy caine antics if they do moreGooseworx honestly murdered the fun of the show, not much to talk about especially while the wound is fresh
>>154414980>If it's about them needing to find Grant through the internetIt doesn't need to be that, it's just there's zero tension after the Jaxtraction. It needed stakes of some kind.
>>154414992This is a blue board, please delete this image of funnybunny getting anal bored by Gangle
>>154414928Goose didn't kill anything for me at least, I'm still drawing TADC, I just don't really like engaging with these threads anymore.
>>154415015*vored Fucking autocorrect
Funnybunnygods, are we still buying all the merch?
>>154415008I know exactly how you feel, Anon. Honestly the only reason I'm still here is because I see there are still people here who enjoy the stuff I enjoy.I'll probably leave once they're all gone or when I finish my fanfic
now that the dust has settled would this just have been better served as a TRUE ensemble show and not a self insert humiliation ritual?
>>154415016What are you drawing and where are you posting them?
>>154415029I regret the merch I already bought. I'm not gonna waste even more money on this shit
>>154415014>It needed stakes of some kind.The stakes are that if they don't come together and make a life out of what they have, they'll abstract. And it's especially important that they do it because there are only five humans left. Just because the credits were full of happy scenes doesn't mean they'll never feel sad again or experience conflict in the future.
>>154415029Hell no. I already feel awkward about the shit I already bought.I'm just gonna keep looking at fanart and reading fanfics. I don't want to buy any merch anymore.
>>154415016>don't really like engaging with these threads anymoreHow come?
Y'know it's kinda funny, I avoided watching this show because i thought it was overrated. Then I actually watched it, and thought it was amazing, until the finale. Then I realized it's overrated again. 10/10
>>154415005Your choices are funnybunny or troonjaxDon't worry you still made the right choice
>>154415062You know what, when you put it that way, it actually does make me feel better about things. Thanks, Anon.
Watching Goose slowly lose their mind replying to endless autism posts is more entertaining than the actual finale
>>154415062What if we had FunnyBunny with TroonJax? Call it SillyLilly
>>154415016NTA but I'm sorry if I contributed to that by getting into arguments with angry trannies, I want to actually discuss the show itself but I let them bait me
>>154415038Yep, give everyone an episode as obviously intended. Also dont reduce pomnis arc to jax's bitch
>>154415058NTA but I'm gonna guess that anon is either a funnybunny artist who doesn't wanna get shit on for posting here, or just someone who's sick and tired of the troonjax arguments
>>154414171I don't know how it works on AO3 exactly, but it looks like AO3 has an HTML editor mode. Have you tried applying that Consolas css and going to the HTML editor of your work and wrapping the paragrpahs' code in<div class="Consolas">your paragraphs html code here</div>If this doesn't work, you should ask AI
>>154415105I actually ended up figuring it out through trial and error, but thanks.
If (You) were scanned into the Circus, but the cast sat you down and explained to you that you are a brain scan and even showed you glimpses of how your flesh self is doing, would you be at peace? Would you be less likely to abstract (kys)? Do you think you'd be able to enjoy life in there? You get internet access btw.
>>154415049Those are kind of a vague, theoretical stakes considering everybody but Jax was therapizing themselves and each other into stability. Their mental state never seemed to be under any kind of threat or duress.
>>154414715>OC doesn't get replies so nobody makes anything newyeah. working on something for hours and then being almost completely ignored is a really shitty feeling
>>154415095It's a necessary evil, they are never not in their predatory mode trying to find depressed lonely men and ruin their lives
>>154415101>tired of the troonjax argumentsSame. Ultimately it doesn't matter if it was conveyed well or not. Idc. His character is ruined regardless, so Idk why they're so hyper focused on discussing that shit of all the stuff you can talk about
>>154415076"Im totally just answering questions at 9am because im at the airport guys">does it again the next dayUnironically I think the "xxx if it was written by gooseworx" memes and all the negative reactions to her jk Rowling style plot dumps on social media are locking her in a negative feedback loop lmao
>>154415076Every post I see from him seems to radiate barely suppressed hostilitySeems like an asshole desu
We might be the only Digital Circus fan community taking the idea of a season 2 even semi-plausibly. Granted, my only other exposure to the fandom is YouTube comments, and the sentiment there whenever it's brought up seems to be "we don't deserve it."
>>154415118The single question I have left I where the do I fucking sign up
I miss them
>>154411211This post almost makes me feel guilty for taking a rest day, even if I need one after 3 days of going to the gym
>>154414976I mean, those two ended up being the entire focus of the finale even if Pomni kinda just became a therapy dog
>>154415136If you were an asshole before transition you will probably be an asshole after transition.
>>154415128>His character is ruined regardlessWhich is why I disregard all the troon shit and focus on why I liked the character in the first place. For whatever fucking reason, I still have passion for all the things I liked about Jax. And the troon shit isn't too hard to ignore as long as you're not glued to social media.I've accepted the fact that the Jax I love will only live on in fanart and fanfiction. And that's okay.
>>154415118>If (You) were scanned into the Circus, but the cast sat you down and explained to you that you are a brain scan and even showed you glimpses of how your flesh self is doing, would you be at peace?Probably. It'd be existentially confusing but it's a chance at a fresh start without all the baggage. I mean it's still there but it's also a past life. I'd probably be able to enjoy myself if I liked my new body but I'd spend a lot of time worrying about everything getting shut down, and whether I had a soul or something
>>154415144its been like 3 weeks and goose went from "its never happening" to "well if I did another one I would make these adjustments"season 2 went from a 1% chance to 10% chance
>>154415158But Jax became the dog.
>>154415058Full disclosure that I know this is 4chan and not a hugbox but even after awhile the negativity gets to you, especially when it's basically the same exact topic each time I come here (and I'm not here every day). I guess that Goose confirming that Jax is trans is what actually broke things, because through the leaks and the theater release these threads were able to weather that whole question and still have fun. I think that a lot of "regulars"/drawfags fleeing to a discord so soon was also a bad move, but I guess I can't fault them for getting jumpy.
I wonder what she hates most about her own finale >>154415144Thats because the other places are mega hugboxes and not cynical enough. Its incredibly likely 2/3 of glitch's upcoming shows fail (potentially 3/3), and when that happens and they have an entire server full of production assets for digital circus sitting around things will happen
I lift for Pomni
>>154415181And Pomni became the therapy
>>154415046>>154415056But Funnybunny is still possible (in merch). Thank you, Glitch.
>>154415003>how's the computer still there and running isn't relevant to the story and so Goose doesn't have an answer for it.Is the big reveal of the FINAL episode is that they were always brain scans then it is pretty important to explain where exactly they are and how they got there. Otherwise the setting makes no logical sense. Goose chose to place them in the real world being contemporaries with their real selves. That means the plot now needs an explanation to why there's a fully powered yet abandoned building somewhere in the real logical physical world. Goose could've just not specified this but chose to continue saying the computer is out there somewhere in magical creepypasta office land. There's a million better ways to explain this including not saying anything but Goose chose the worst one anywayFuck it Goose should've just fully copied SOMA and it would've been 100x better
>>154415190They're asking her opinion on the finale going to theaters, not the finale itself.
>>154415173>the Jax I love will only live on in fanart and fanfictionHow I felt after another certain purple furry character got wings
>>154414776the complex relationship between Jax and Limpy will be explored laterLimpy can't tell Jax's bullying from actual friendship
>>154415157Man I gotta lock in that 3rd day at the weekend. Currently only doing Tue and Thurs but after that I have 4 days if not going until the next Tue
>>154415076It's not like he HAS to engage with the fans, or even be grateful for them but why even make a show if you're just going to be constantly annoyed by the people who love it?
>>154415190I fucking GUARANTEE the hardest she cringed in the theaters was this moment right here.
has anyone posted these two yet?
>>154415203Woops im too sleepy to shitpost properly, bedtime
>>154415215>The original was assWhat a coincidence, so was the rewrite.
>>154415153I just wish this got a better background before this went kaput. Why are they standing in front of concrete.
>>154415229The trailer for Ep 7 was so fucking good man, what a let down.
>>154415029>paypigging, ever
>season 2>Jax is trans>Ragatha is transphobicRate the ensuing conflict conflict out of 10
>>154415157recovery is the most important part of fitness, if you keep straining yourself your gains will suffer
Did we ever see the inside of Rags room?
>>154415257If Ragatha can respect Zooble's Zooble-ness she can handle Jax
>>154415246But Jax dindu nuffin.
>>154415257>More troon shit, except now I have a bunch of troons screeching about my waifuNo thanks
>>154415215I genuinely hate you anons that bring any social media faggotry to /co/
>>154415207My condolences. Purplesmart was never my favorite in the first place, so I was kinda meh about the end of Season 3. I was more upset that they blew their "series finale" load then didn't actually end the series.
>>154415257Ragatha being transphobic would make me watch desu. But I just know the moral of the season would be her becoming an ally
>>154415157we must go today brother
>>154415246Ragatha kept quiet about her close friend for years out of fear of one of the few members left alive would hate her, and he still hated her anyway. worse, I bet Pomni won't even tell her what she saw in Jax's head. everything about it just makes my blood boil.
>>154415270that's because zooble is cool and jax is not
>>154415038I think it's very obvious. There's arguments to be made on whether the jax pity arc was handled well or not (it wasn't), but the most direct criticism is simply that the jax pity arc took over the entire show when it was supposed to be a show about Pomni (the main character) and a proper cast of supporting characters.Even goose admitted that more time to breathe would've been good for all the other characters, it's just that he was burnt out doing even just 9 episodes. What is also true, however, is that not doing the massive Jax arc across three whole episodes would've given a lot more room to explore the rest of the characters and situation and everything else.
>>154415215I crave the OG episode 7 script
>>154415289Pomni has to protect her bad boy.
Jax NOT abstracting at all, like they just didn't let him leave the area and kept him around at all times. Jax can't keep his mask on anymore, he's defeated, done, finished. instead of the whole abstraction segment, it's Jax apologizing
>>154415278it's the creator of the show answering questions about the show. it's retarded that this is the way he chose to communicate important info but it's what we got and it's preferable to the hundredth troonjax post
>>154415157Rest days are just as important as they days where you work out, otherwise muscles don't have time to grow and heal.Don't push too hard and hurt yourself, okay?
>>154415060Almost same except I got warned, so I didn't watch the finale, and I still like it (I did watch ep 7 unfortunately because I didn't realise it was already the start of the jax show).It really is amazing and its ratings mostly stem from the earlier episodes, so I don't think it's overrated. And you can just ignore the existence of the ending.
>>154415323i imagined ragatha saying this and my heart grew a boner
>>154415319Wouldn't have been a satisfying end to the show, man. Jax had to die.It was handled fucking terribly, yes. But Jax dying was an inevitability was obvious to anyone who watched the show.
>>154415300>jax gets 3 episodes in a row effectively>the episode where we get a breather from jax is the highest rated episode in the series>finale is all jaxslop and reduces pomni to the jax friend
Goose confirmed that Ragatha and Pomni did talk between eps 6 and 7 so maybe people will argue about that again instead
>>154415191She is very fun to lift
>>154415076Yeah honestly this is a genuine question baiting a creative answer. If you the writer do not have any interesting creative answer in mind then the question is useless, to you, to the asker, and to everyone else, and therefore skipping over it and not answering should be obvious. I don't get the point of that postPost more screencaps if there's anything interesting or worth shitposting about
>got into this series between Ep 6 and 7>enjoyed all previous 6 episodes immensely >get to watch 7-9 happen live>all three episodes are flawed and have questionable writing choices>all three had very good points in them though>slightly disappointed how the series turned out >enjoy talking about it none the less since even the flaws are at least interesting flaws>kind of wish I had could have enjoyed what the vibe here was like before Ep 7 though>still hopeful for a season 2Thanks for being my friends for the last 6 months
ngl I always thought the ending was gonna be that they escape but my nigga Kingger would have to stay behind. Really felt like he was being set up to be the sacrificial lamb.
>>154415356saving jax's backstory for the finale was retarded
>>154414057The locked door was what would happen if Pomni abstracted
>>154415360I mean it's obvious Pomni and Ragatha became good friends offscreen it just would've been nice to see it
>>154415348Nta but honestly, I thought we mignt get a "kinger sacrifices himself to fix jax, abstracts himself and maybe merges with queenie" ending
>>154415380I desperately, desperately miss the pre-ep7 vibes.Hell, the pre-leak vibes were paradise compared to the fallout we've had to deal with.
>>154415368Like this?
>>154414086>Leaving out the clearly best characterFake fan
>>154415392Yeah...
here's my headcanon as for the logistics of the computers>90s>C&A develops creative AI, and brainscanners to feed data into creative AI>Kinger, Caine, Scratch, Queenie and the other C&A OGs scan their brains to test things>C&A mothballs it because computers at the time were too weak to run them>Caine and the other brainscans remain dormant>2000s>C&A goes out of business>assets get sold off to a bunch of other companies>brainscanner technology gets sold to a medical imaging device company>AI software gets transferred to some software company>Caine, now housed in a far more powerful computer, creates The Circus>Caine creates the original crew (picrel) using the brainscans from the 90s>2010s>Ragatha finds the old computer/headset combo, unwittingly puts it on while touring the abandoned office building>brainscan gets transmitted to the current iteration of the Circus>Jax get scanned while looking for a place to squat while homeless>Zooble: unknown, possibly urbex>Gangle: gets hit by a truck, undergoes medical scanning, has her brainscan transmitted to the software company that's running The Circus as a part of debugging/usage telemetry (Kinger noted that the brainscans were "impossibly small")>2017>Pomni gets scanned while urbexing an abandoned building>events of TADC happens>post-show>The Circus is generally safe from being shut down because it's running on a server farm and the computer touchers there are too afraid to touch it because it's somehow become load-bearing software for the medical imaging stuff>the computer shown in the pilot is just Pomni's entry point, even if the building gets demolished The Circus will continue>more humans will come to the Circus via the medical imagers like Gangle didif there's anything that contradicts this lmk
>>154415360What's there to argue about? We all knew their development happened offscreen, and that it shouldn't have in what's supposedly a character show.
>>154415403he was reduced to therapist, he could've been so much better genuinelylike how does he go through the whole series without having a talk with caine
>>154415403He likes Jax. Of course he's a fake fan.
>>154414057I have no idea because I would die laughing
>>154415157Just do something else to improve yourself on a rest day while your body recovers
>>154415408Gangle joins before Zooble does but otherwise I think this is pretty solid.
>>154414129Why is he jerking her off in the second panel?
>>154415403I just realised something both of Kingers therapy sessions with Pomni and Ragatha were essentially about teaching them how to appreciate the other oneThe man is the saint version of an evil genius
Y'know, they could still make new episodes set before 7 that adds character development to the more lacking characters and help "fix" the story. Sort of like what lucas did with clone wars.
>>154415118>If (You) were scanned into the Circus, but the cast sat you down and explained to you that you are a brain scan [..], would you be at peace? Would you be less likely to abstract (kys)?I think so. Stoics are larpers and all that but in a situation like that you really just have to be able to accept the hand you're dealt. It's either live in the circus or die, might as well live and try to make the best of things.With this kind of existential situation I'd also probably find interpersonal drama rather silly. Jax was not wrong in saying that it's a cartoon where nothing matters, he was mostly wrong in not taking his own advice to heart and lightening the fuck up.Oh and also Pomni sex but I think answering based on that would be cheating, so I'm assuming that I wouldn't know any of the cast beforehand.>and even showed you glimpses of how your flesh self is doingThis is an interesting question actually. On one hand I'd be somewhat happy that I didn't just get killed in order to be uploaded to this virtual thing. On the other hand it'd be odd knowing I was just a clone.>You get internet access btw.Ok now you lost me, it's no longer an interesting question. It would literally just be like my normal life except I no longer need to eat or sleep or earn money or worry about physical health or whatever. The instant you connect the circus to the internet it stops being an existential crisis and just becomes run of the mill AI upload, which only raises mostly theoretical questions about brain upload and cloning but isn't really at all interesting in the day to day.
>>154415426It's totally normal to give your female friend a friendly handjob
>>154415413Therapist and exposition device, he's a man of a couple talents
>>154414214The mental gymnastics are truly off the charts with these types
>>154415434Yeah I liked how what Kinger said to them works as basically one big piece of advice.
>>154415214Why would that cause cringe?
Jax/Ragatha and Kinger/Caine conversations could've been the most interesting interactions in the entire show
>>154415434he wants his daughters to get along
>>154414057You forgot one crucial detail>Kaufmo is standing next to the cuck chair pointing at Ribbit and Pomni saying "Look Jax"
>>154415196Bravo goosefucks
>>154415451Because it was so obviously added in extremely late into production after a test screening showed how retarded Pomni was for not following him. So they shoehorned in a line about how Pomni "forgot how bad it could be" in hopes that it would make Pomni look less retarded (it didn't)
>>154414113Tranny gambling table
>>154415457No time for such silly things as "character interactions"
>>154414335Genuinely the only thing salvageable about the show.Okay, also Ragatha's sweet doll pussy.
>>154415468the only use of an internal thought in the whole show btw
There are people out there who seriously let Jax become their favorite character of all time and stayed around for all of this.
>>154415118I'm pretty similar to Jax without the trans part so I think I'd be fucked. Even if I made peace with the stuck in the Circus part, I'd be horrified that my real self is probably going to die to suicide. I'd be panicking thinking about my family having to deal with that fallout.>anon it sounds like you don't actually want to dieI don't, but it's going to happen. That's the fucked up thing about suicide I guess.
gooseworx usually does like one random q&a ask session on tumblr every couple of months then she goes awaytwo days in a row (including some answers just after midnight 12 hours later on the first day) makes me think she bothered a bit
>>154414373>Jax is a gender neutral nameJust no
>>154415474"ermmm its a character driven show so lore doesn't matter!""erm, characters having interactions with each other that doesn't involve Jax? welll umm he's the main character sweety, everyone else is a side character"
>>154415471I love this style of emo-ish/goth Jax as long as it's not a tranny thing
>>154415413Kinger is so heterosexual that other men are simply invisible to him
>>154415176>another one of theseAnon when you launch a creative career AND find massive success (incredibly rare), it's pretty much a given that this is now your professional career and you are a show writer now. Same with gamedev or whatever, stuff like that all works this way. He's obviously gonna be looking ahead to the next show he writes/creates.One-hit wonders definitely exist but it's usually when after a breakout every project afterwards is a failure until you give up. Nobody makes a successful show/game/song/book/whatever and just says "ok cool, I'm done with that, now I'm gonna wageslave doing something completely different". (With the exceedingly rare exception that it's SO successful that you can retire on the spot, AND that you're not interested in doing creative shit for its own sake. Notch is the only example that comes to mind right now. Goose seems to enjoy writing and would probably keep producing even if he was rich enough to retire right now.)There is no reason that that next step would be an S2 of the same thing though.
>>154415214>>154415468I mean she could've just had Pomni look tired or hurt by Jax and make it clear that she doesn't have energy for him in that specific moment.>>154415485Ngl I thought that she might've been saying that out loud to Ragatha and Zooble while they were on the balcony but that's arguably a reach on my part.
>>154414444BASED GIGA QUADS OF PEAK
People expected me to be excited at the thought of making a cartoon.Meanwhile for Gooseworx making a “big indie hit” has been essentially an exercise in pure masochism as his ‘fans’ constantly talk about how much they loathe the character that’s a self-insert for his pre-transition self.Yeah making cartoons was attractive in the days of golden age looney tunes before it was cool, then awful. We don’t live in those days anymore!
>>154414181It's only homosexual if Ribbit also has a cock
>>154415486Yeah, hi.In my defense, I have no control over what my brain likes. Or my penis.
>>154415348>But Jax dying was an inevitability was obvious to anyone who watched the show.Why do so many people think their interpretation was "obvious"? I watched the show. I thought it was being set up for Jax finally getting the fuck over himself and starting to let people in.
>>154415500It was always about Jax being trans, sweetie :^)
>>154414603>becoming
>>154415506the artist is making an AU where there are 2 jaxxes 1 male 1 female
>>154415488well it is the finale of the show, its not like she has anything else to do other than brainstorming future projects
>>154414181But sex wasn't allowed
>>154415524Would you still love him if he came to your door, wearing a fancy dress and a wig and carrying a chair, while Pomni is next to him, nude and ready to jump your bones in front of him?
>>154415281NTA but the problems are closely related. If that was really the finale then a) it would've affected a lot less fanart and fanfiction (these days forma de unicorna is almost rare to see), and b) it could've been excusable as a grand finale.But shit went on for the next four seasons with a princess that was never meant to exist and had to somehow be shoehorned into daily life.Well that and they had no budget because the high school spinoff started that year so the actual episode was dogshit doodoo ultra rushed. There's some parallels to TADC here except TADC had unlimited budget and it somehow was doodoo ultra rushed while taking a combined 120 minutes for all the jax episodes (6 to 9) rather than suffering from being compressed to 22 minutes.
>>154414715Who fucking cares, Goose sucks
Would you still love Jax if he were vegan?
>>154415506>Zooble, for the millionth time, I'm not a f[HONK!]ing tr[SPLAT!]y!>... You're SO lucky the filter caught that.
>>154415118I'm fairly optimistic and also loved SOMA so I'd just kind of accept that I got on the "wrong" side of the coin toss and do my best to deal with it. There's honestly a fair amount of cool things you can do with the powers the post-finale circus gives you.>and even showed you glimpses of how your flesh self is doingI wouldn't be too concerned about it. Our lives would be so wildly different I don't think there could be any comparison.>You get internet access btw.I studied CS and work in IT, so I could contact my real-life self pretty easily. Depending on how easily the computers can be accessed, upgrading and maintaining the computers at C&A would actually be a pretty fun project, especially knowing that my other self(?) is in there.As for the virtual me, I'd probably try to learn how to conjure to the best of my abilities and try to create different adventures to keep myself occupied.
>>154415537Because he kept refusing help. He pushed Pomni away after she tried to say they were friends. He pushed Zooble away when Zooble, possibly the single person who hates Jax the most, of all people, tried to reach out to him. He pushed them away AGAIN after they told him he was one of them and they weren't gonna let him abstract. He felt righteous in his beliefs after episode 7 when he found out he was right; the circus escape was fake.Jax was so utterly, completely fucked and refusing of help that any sort of last minute redemption in the final episode would have been jarring and out of place.
>>154415401God, the smarmy fucking insincerityWhy even engage with fans at all if you're going to be like this?
>>154414429Would Pomni be the troon in that scenario?
>>154414742>liking short asian menThis is a larp
>>154415546I just don't like female Jax, even if it's not a tranny thing. Power to those who do I suppose, but it's not the character I fell in love with.
>>154415582Nah, it's just MPA
>>154415589Pomni is so cute I wish I could date and marry her
>>154415257>season 2>jax is trans>after doing the suicide masochism arc, goose decides to do the social humiliation masochism arc>all the other characters are transphobic and jax is ostracized for being trans>at the end of S2 he re-abstracts but this time alone and abandoned>goose posts on bluesky about how it's a moral that transphobia bad or something
Why doesn't gooseworx hire a court jester to answer all the Tumblr asks? I don't get it
>>154415576because he hates his fans and finds enjoyment in fucking with them, its pathetic
>>154415617all great artists have contempt for the audience
>>154415488Probably because the shows done and she has free time, but at the same time she was like "um im only doing this because im at the airport delayed" and then she is doing it again the next day.I think she probably realizes there were genuine issues with the ending and with the run of the series, and maybe addressing it is cathartic. But shes also ignoring a lot of asks critical of the finale and series that she cant answer "im overworked and overwhelmed sorry" at so she might be mad
>>154414652See George RR Martin taking like 30 fucking years to finish his stupid books about medieval sex pests. Some artists are just at the mercy of their fickle muse (ie don't do enough cocaine, t. Stephen King)
>>154415624And also goose
>>154415468I liked the line and didn't pick up on that, but I guess I see your point that it was probably added later.>>154415485>the only use of an internal thought in the whole show btwDidn't she narrate what happened to the real life versions of the character?
>>154415617Wow… guess he’s like Jax, huh!At least his evil personality entertained millions. If only he was nice so hundreds of people didn’t get employed on his show
>>154415610Best post ITT
>>154415589the concept of Jax creating a new him with all of what he thinks are good qualities about him while keeping the burden of his pasts and his flaws is something that interests me
>>154415576Goose seriously thinks that trooning out would fix all Jax's other personality flaws.Considering Jax is a blatant self insert, it stands to reason that Goose thinks all their shitty personality flaws on full display here, have been fixed by trooning out. In reality, they're still a complete asshole.
>>154414643>zooble, gangle, and Ribbit don't get hair>all artists keep drawing Jax with long luscious locks
>>154415401How is asking about slenderman "not about the plot but about themselves"Fuck's sake, yesterday it was snappy but coherent lore answers, today it's snappy sarcastic comebacks that don't even answer the question asked in the first place, so what's the point of posting the answerNiggers
>>154415487Hey anon. I hope you keep finding reasons to not go through with it
>>154414667I don't think she directly storyboarded that much, I remember her commenting somewhere that she'd write the scripts that then had to be interpreted by storyboarders. She'd basically give notes on everything (which would still be a big job)
>>154414151On that note, what does it mean that they can have sex now? what did caine did that allowed them to do it? they didn't had any urges? or just didn't have the equipment for it? I doubt it was the urges thing because Caine seems to try to step away from messing too much with their brains after what happened to scratch, so it has to be the equipment one.
>>154415666How would you even put hair on Gangle?
>>154415652That's fair. I hope we can enjoy our own alternate takes on the character together in peace.
I still think season 2 should be about the misadventures of these retards
>>154415496Jax was hotter as a dude though
>>154415681I don't think they're interesting enough for a whole season. Maybe an episode of their own, at most.
>>154414822There's a tweet going around of Goose saying as much after episode 4 aired
>>154415380>>154415398I just binged the first 7 episodes two days ago. I definitely regret not getting on the wagon sooner. 7 was so different from the rest that I'm not interested in watching 8 or 9 after learning that they're the same shit basically.I dearly wish I had watched it and hopped into the threads during the first episodes, because I fucking love them, the show was genuinely good at first.
>>154414830>Even the twitter fandom is turning on himMy twitter feed has been pretty much universally anti-finale since it dropped
>>154415681Yibbadoobadabadoo
>>154414894I'm not a notable presence but I've been here all year and still check in on weekends
>>154415681Only if Evil Jax remains dead
>>154415631GRRM is way way less forgivable though. He was an established writer who knew the challenge of writing long stories, and he still massively massively underestimated the scale of the story he had in mind to the point where the series went from a planned 3 books to 4 to 5 to 7 as he wrote the first few and got stuck having no idea how to juggle 1000 difference characters across dozens of locations.
>>154415630The airport excuse was funny>>154415714Positively received on bluesky and tadc focused reddit. Negatively received on Twitter and non tadc focused redditsWhile rotten tomatoes claims it's a 94%, imdb has the finale at like 8/10 while the previous episode is like 9.6I think this is a Steven universe situation where the sheen slowly fades
>>154415703You definitely missed out on a lot of fun times, anon. Lots of good shitposts, greentexts, drawfaggery, ritualposts, shipfighting, arguing over who's going to abstract in the next episode, fish hat, pomni eating burgers, debating fancomics and fanfiction....I miss it
>>154415748Not kissing a trans woman doesn't make you a transphobe, it only means you have standards.
>>154415759We just have to wait for Glitch to come out with some new that's actually good
>>154415524Honest question why fall for the character that's the biggest jerk for no reasonVery female behaviour
>>154415408Cane was created in 1996, the OG crew were activated in 1999, and Ragatha was copied in, in 2008.
>>154415775So like, ten more years after their current lineup is done then? I'm not gonna lie, not a single one of them interest me. Gameoverse maybe, but I haven't watched the pilot and none of the discussion I've seen around it has convinced me.
>>154415748>I'd never want to kiss you, Jax, trans or not
>>154415739Evil Jax would be the opposite of Jax which means a bearable character that has sex.
>>154415775Gaslight district looks neat but it also looks way more expensive yet way less marketable plushie than tadc so fully expecting it to hurt glitch
>>154415573He kept pushing people away yeah, but I think he just needed a moment where his defenses crumbled and he couldn't keep up the facade anymore. Finding out about the brain scans could have been rock bottom for him and finally pushed him into a new headspace, but obviously it just pushed him further into despair.Unfortunately he only got his defenses stripped bare after he was apparently permadead already, but it could have gone the other way.Almost feels like he only got killed to push the "if you don't troon out you'll die" angle desu
>>154415748I hate trans Jax, but I'd kiss this version for some reason. Not sure what it is.
>>154415118Only if I get to talk to myself and become my own personal AI assistant. I wouldn't mind running around the web helping me idea bounce and research stuff.
>>154415610king shit
>>154415795nah they probably have something cooking thats designed to capture the same audience as TADCthey're not letting this cash cow die
>>154415805You should respect Jax's wishes anon. Our Jax wants Evil Jax to be dead.
>>154415748>>154415816I love/hate this Jax design. It's way too cute for the character but the tiny panties are so sexy.
>>154415842I'm not respecting the wishes of a woke dog. Long live Evil Jax.
>>154415838What could that possible be besides a season 2 though?
>>154415781A multitude of reasons>thought he was funny, he made me laugh the most when I first saw the pilot>enjoyed the dynamic between him and Pomni (funnybunny fag btw because of course)>episode 5 showed hints that there was more to him (I was pulled in by the mystery of Ribbit)>episode 6 further fueled funnybunny (the fight between Pomni and Jax might be my favorite scene in the show)>I am a sucker for "guy with deep personal issues lashes out until someone tells him to get the fuck over himself and he apologizes" tropeNow, in my defense, episodes 8 and 9 really did not feel good to watch because he did not end up going through the arc that I thought he was going to go through. And obviously all of the tranny shit fucking sucks because it killed a lot of people's interest in Jax and funnybunny.Despite that, I still really love the character and his potential, and I still really love funnybunny. A big part of that is all of the amazing art I've seen of Jax and the pairing over the past 3-4 years, not to mention some fanfics that really planted the funnybunny bug into my brain. Despite how it all ended up, I don't wanna let go because I love these characters too damn much to let go. As long as people are still making good art and writing good stories, my brain will refuse to let my interest in Jax and his character go.Gay dude, btw. No, before you ask, I do not want to cut my willy off.
>>154415817>>154415851There's a reason R63 has been a popular genre for as long as internet fanart has been a thing.The issue is just making it a canon personality trait and then trashing 1/3rd of your entire show runtime on that secondary character's halfbaked troon suicide arc. It's the kind of stuff that should just be relegated to fanart and that's where it lives best.
imagine if they all had abstracted at the start of ep9 then when caine came back he just finds them running aroundhe doesn't have any members nor bubble and just because i want to add a third thing the moon and sun would be disappointed in him
>>154415874Character focused with cute girls, bright visuals, and """""dark""""" undertones.
>>154415884we already know that's his worst nightmare but I think the added guilt from him realising it is all his fault it would feel way worse
Is this Lilly now?
>>154415822If TADC was based, Pomni and Kinger would have moved on with each other at the end. >but it's a 23 year old gapI know. That's hot.
>>154415759Yeah, sucks man. The funny thing is I'm not even a regular on /co/, I don't really watch cartoons much at all, and 99% of the shit that comes out just looks like utter slop to me. I'm not surprised I skipped out because why would I suddenly watch some FOTM meme.Only gave it a watch after seeing all the talk after the finale and seeing enough Pomni art to actually get curious about her show, especially from stealth threads on other boards. I'm glad I did at least, better to have seen it late than not at all...
>>154415654The picture of a smiling troonjax with the "Jax if he wasn't a piece of shit" really makes me think they just picture themselves as cute happy anime women as a talisman against ever examining or dealing with their flawsLiterally "No, I can't be an asshole. I can't be unhappy. I can't be toxic and I can't be mistaken. I saved myself from those things by becoming a cute girl!"
>>154415884>>154415897This is how S2 will go if Goose isn't a bitch
>>154415899Come on Jax, I said to pee yourself
btw i found out yesterday there's a parasite illness that affects wild rabbits and gives them black "tentacles" and skin stuff that covers their head and bodyjust thought it was interesting tho upsettingI now think of it whenever I see jax abstacted art
>>154415215>>154415229>>154415301>jokingly call it 'beach episode'>it actually ends up becoming a useless beach episode because it got split into two without actually filling it out with anything meaningful, and also the rugpull that made it seem like actual setup for conflict was immediately undone in episode 8 not just through ignoring what Jax did but through legitimising the escape adventure lore through Kinger's lore dumpLiterally what was the point of episode 7? We already saw Caine cracking at the end of episode 6, tweak a few lines and that'd be adequate inspo for him to have a narcissistic meltdown
>>154415877I'm not reading all that. Stop wanting to cut your willy off.
>>154415889In the last 20 years I have only fallen for a cartoon girl twice. More installments of unrelated cute girl franchises isn't gonna be a replacement unless they can capture lightning in a bottle two times in a row.I guess it might work as a cash cow with the non-autistic audience though, fair enough
>>154415938Hey, Anon asked, I answered.
>>154415925WAIT the implication of that image was that they ALL abstracted and caine is going to kill himself next? shit I only realised it now I thought it was just a cute artwok
>>154415654I know this is bait but there's literally nothing that implies this whatsoever.
>>154415943What two girls were those?
>>154415118>if you were immortal and could do whatever you wanted whenever you wanted and have multiple other immortals to share / ignore this with as you please AND there's a benevolent god who will personally look after you too, would you kys?how is this even a question? that the gang had any sort of melodrama prior to caines schizo episode is embarrassing
>>154415936It feels like episode 7 was designed around Jax's near abstraction and the button push sequence, and then everything else was made to fill space.
>>154415493>me when I forget the name jacqueline existsliterally the only times i've heard the nickname jax(/jacks/jaqs) irl was from girls
>>154415919Goose is bordering on dementia; that same toxic, self-destructive thinking will lead him to his grave sooner or later.
>>154415925HAPPILY WAITING ALL ON MY OWNUNDER THE ENDLESS SKYCOUNTING THE SECONDSSTANDING ALONEAS THOUSANDS OF YEARS GO BYYY
>>154415877I only watched it recently so I'm not as invested as you but I'm also a faggot and a Jaxfag and think (non-tranny) Jax and Pomni needed to walk off into the sunset together
Kinger is the only one who can see Abstraction ghosts. Everyone just thinks its tragic and depressing when he stares at an empty chair, laughs and says "Oh, Jax! You rascal!"None of them know that he's actually watching Jax's ghost spinning on the stool and shout "ZOOBLE AND GANGLE ARE HAVING GAY SEX! I REPEAT! ZOOBLE AND GANGLE ARE HAVING GAY SEX!"Nor do they see Queenie's ghost hiding her face in embarrassment.
>>154415986Based, I'm glad you agree. There's so few of us left here, now.
>>154415950I wonder if Caine even can kill himself?
>>154415953>nothing that implies this whatsoever
>>154415926>Oh, you're not comfortable with that?>That's okay; maid dresses and diapers go great together anyway, especially the really poofy ones!
I cracked the code. This thread is just a ploy by Glitch to make us buy Funnybunny merch after Goose sank the ship.
>>154415877That's fair.>>thought he was funny, he made me laugh the most when I first saw the pilotKek, he did manage to be the funny guy after all. Interesting because I didn't really laugh much, don't get me wrong I don't hate Jax but to me he just came off as the token evil guy that everyone must hate for good reason.The S6 team with jax and pomni was fucking good and I agree with you that if they continued on the Jax redemption arc it would've been kino. I wasn't a fan of the fight at the end because>guy with deep issues just refuses all help and shuts everything down and it's basically impossible to do anythingis more annoying than anything to me, especially since I really felt like Pomni was going to incredible lengths to be there for him and open herself up for him and connect to him, and he was just shutting her out out of pure deep-seated autism. But if it had been build-up to properly getting through to him (by somehow connecting EVEN more, or maybe just taking more time), it would've been worth it.I just didn't really appreciate Jax much in the early episodes because of how much of a jerk he was, not even in the comic relief way or with pointed banter but constantly being evil to everyone.Also >>154415938 did not in fact ask
>>154416002im never ever am going to give a dime to them
>>154416002Nigga I am probably never buying TADC merch again
>>154416000Correct.What you're saying is IF Jax trooned out THEN his personality would be fixed and he wouldn't be a piece of shitWhat Goose is saying is that IF Jax wasn't a broken piece of shit THEN he would have trooned out and been happy
>>154415714The mindless drones liked the sappy finale but they are wising up to all the flaws and inconsistencies in the story as time goes on. For a while I thought Goose was a genius for shifting the conversation to whether or not Jax is trans but all of these Tumbr answer shitshow proves he's just an idiot who loves to put his foot in his mouth
>>154415925Fuck I'm retarded I hadn't realised >>154415950 either
>>154416011Did you hear Funnygummy might have a chance though? The real Gummigoo was confirmed alive in the void by Goose.
>>154416002If they want my money, they know what they have to do.
>>154415990>"Kinger! You can see me?!">"I can?!">"...please, tell everyone I'm sorry, and tell Pomni I love her.">Later, at dinner.>"I wanted you all to know I'm sorry, and Pomni, I love her!"
>>154415972Pretty much. Such a wasted opportunity for character moments. Could have had everyone having bonding moments on the beach to contrast Jax wandering off to abstract somewhere. Could have had Pomni approaching Ragatha with Abel's story and Ragatha struggling with the idea of having hope for an escape in the wake of Kaufmo abstracting but deciding to trust Pomni anyway. Could have given Pomni a moment with Kinger in the sunshine to contrast her moment with him in the dark.Instead let's just have 3 minutes of Jax trying to kill himself followed by like 20 minutes of him being smarmy and having panic attacks.
>>154415950>>154416028... and they say media literacy isn't dead
>>154416031Dollface can't push merch anon
>>154415954Twilight and now Pomni
>>154416038I've only seen this image posted itt a couple of times, I never gave it much though
>>154416031Only if the secret is Ragatha holding a Funnybunny hentai doujin. Funnybunny FOREVER.
>it's not a happy ending>it's not a sad ending>it's just a therapy endingkind of makes me wonder what the point was
>>154415925I can't see Pomni abstracting unless every one else dies first and I can't picture Kinger or Zooble abstracting.
>>154416040Saves me some money then.
>>154416058Goose needed to jerk it to his humiliation ritual and justify himself.
>>154416058The Amazing Digital Circus is actually The Amzaing Vent Session with Gooseworx.
>>154416006His "Will you shut up? I can't hear the escalator" line had me laughing and almost instantly solidified him as my favorite character. I'm not gonna defend his bullying or anything, but again, I thought his character arc was going a certain way. And he was pretty consistently funny all the way up until the end of episode 6.I always saw Pomni's refusal to let Jax go as her taking Ragatha's words to heart. "The worst thing you can do to someone in this place is make them feel like they're not wanted." And I was under the impression that she saw something that made her want to show Jax that she cared. I was fully ready for some kind of heart to heart between Jax and Ragatha or even Kinger or someone other than Pomni that would break him out of his shit.Then episode 7 happened and things shifted. Then 8, then 9, and now I just focus on everything pre-episode 7 because I really did not like how it ended up. I will fully admit that ever since episode 7 dropped, fanart and fanfiction have played a big role in why I still love Jax so much.
>>154416011>>154416014>>154416031>bunnychads are voting with their wallets>ragcucks are happy to payping no matter what if they get catered to in the slightest bit
>>154415925>at this point bubble finally comes back doing a glitchy shodan-esque voice>why you gotta be like this bubble
>>154416090Come on, Anon, I'm enjoying myself for once. Can we not start a fight please?
>>154416063I used to think Jax skeleton was cool. Now I think he was supposed to look like yolk for the egg cracking metaphor.
>>154416082Yeah I getcha.Also I continue to be vindicated in my decision to simply not watch e8 and e9. Silver lining of being late to the show, at least.
>>154416090No one's voting with their wallets because buying or not buying merch won't change the ending.
>>154416000It just feels so delusionalNot just a woman but a smiling cute uwuman who doesn't bear any resemblance to the characterNot even a hint of sarcasm or wryness or anything Jax at allJust a porn-brained cuck who is blissfully happy with no character flaws whatsoever
>h-hey anon, so.. we haven't actually stolen the money at the charity box of a children's hospital or break the kids wheelchairs and well, i-i was wondering if you wanted to maybe do 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...
>>154415986infinitely based, I only got into this recently and I agree full heartedly
short little jesterlet
>>154416149The ending of this show feels like a shitpost.
>>154416001piss yourself now
I LIFT FOR RAGATHAI LIFT FOR POMNII CANT LET THEM DOWN
beeg pomnikid
>>154416153Take that wig off, Evil Ragatha
>>154416166She's not from the Digital Circus!
>>154416090Can you be nice for once?
>>154416174Evil Ragatha would NEVER steal from a children's hospital
>>154416171The picture looks like a buff Caine with the lens flare forming his teeth.
>>154416179I said pee yourself
>>154416058the point was all the themes and such
>>154416153yes
>>154416058The more Goose stresses that Jax abstracting was planned from the outset, the more I vibe with Stephen King's philosophy of writing with no clue about where the story's going to go, so as to not force your characters to act OOC in order to fulfil an end that you're unable to manifest naturally, because nothing about where this show ended up felt natural
>>154416058
>>154416202>me after watching the tadc finale
>>154416201Damn, that's really well said. I'd never heard that from King before, but it really does explain one of the biggest flaws with TADC.Good post, anon.
>>154414293I mean this point is unchanged whether they are scans or not. Mentally they're real people either way, physically inside the circus they only have cartoon bodies.And of course yes he's absolutely right. He's basically being sincere here for once.
>>154416171>final set to failure>struggling at 3>think of Ragatha and get to 14
Barbie anatomy sexo
Is it true that rag merch doesnt sell?
>>154416226I don't like funnybunny but all the spamming of these pics is kinda making me come around to the idea of null sex
>>154416201I had no idea this was a King quote but yeah this is a common wisdom I've seen many times.You read or watch a story mostly for the characters, because you empathise with the characters and they are the main reason you care about the medium in the first place. Shit like worldbuilding should exist in accessory to the characters; you can then indulge lorefags separately, but almost nobody, not even genuine lorefags, would actually care about a massive lore dump but without good characters to draw them in in the first place.Ergo, characters are the most important element in a story. If a character doesn't act naturally and the audience can not relate to them anymore or cannot perceive them as a coherent personality they can care about (due to acting OOC, idiot balls, or things like that), then the writer has failed.
>>154416234Hello, I am Glitch, I can confirm this statement as being true and factual.
>>154416226very funny body
>>154416220TADC would be 100X better if they leaned into the cartoon stuff harder.That's probably why the earlier episodes were so much better.The entire second half of the show was mostly boring therapy sessions.Jax was not a good character, but at least he wasn't boring.
Is pomni in a jax suit vore?
>>154416253As much as jax in a jester suit is (they're both part of their bodies)And the answer is no I think, skinsuiting is a separate fetish
>>154416247I'm okay with the show transitioning into a more serious tone, but it needed more episodes for that switch to feel natural. 9 episodes isn't enough for a complete tonal shift.
