I cannot stop thinking about Episode 5 of TADC because Ragatha is, however unintentionally, one of the best examples of how isolating and difficult it is to interact with the world as an autistic person I have ever seen. To the point it genuinely makes me sad to think about her. I need to make a post expanding on this at some point but rn just. The way everyone assumes there’s some sinister hidden meaning to everything she does and says but she’s literally just trying to be nice and she doesn’t understand why it’s not working. The way she tries so hard to make connections but it constantly falls flat, she says things that hurt without realising how or why. She follows the rules she’s been taught will make her friends — she’s kind, she’s forgiving, she’s accepting and apologetic when she messes up, but for some reason it’s just not working. She tries to mimic other people, she tries to laugh at past experiences, tries to open up about her past like everyone else is doing, but now everyone’s uncomfortable and looking at her like she’s crazy and she doesn’t get it!! She doesn’t get it!!! Jax is a jerk and he’s mean to everyone but for some reason Pomni likes him and she doesn’t get it, she doesn’t understand! Pomni tells her it’s okay to be a jerk sometimes but Ragatha doesn’t like being mean, she wants to be nice to people, but she does it anyway, she gets mean like Jax and Zooble do but now Pomni’s looking at her like she’s done something wrong but she just did what she asked her to!! She doesn’t get it!! At the end of the episode everyone goes off into their groups and Ragatha is left alone, after having tried so hard to make friends and fit in and make people like her, she’s still alone, and everyone thinks she’s weird and unapproachable and she just has to give up and accept that she is inherently unloveable. Her evil alter ego tells her she’s going to die alone and nobody loves her and the only thing she corrects her on is the fact that they can’t die here. The few that might like her when she’s around don’t miss her when she’s gone, because there’s nothing to miss. Ragatha has spent her whole life systematically stripping away everything that makes her different and unlikeable in order to make herself more palatable to others, and in the process she has made herself a personalitiless blank slate with no unique identity for others to latch onto and appreciate. She has nothing to add to any conversation because she’s too afraid of being disliked to have a memorable personality beyond being generally polite and nice. And just. God. Someone get this girl some noise cancelling headphones and a therapist on speed dial, being this good of a representation of what it’s like to be autistic, especially to be an autistic person with trauma, is not good for the soul. That final shot just destroys me right in the heart. My poor girl.

This is just my reading of this scene but I genuinely don't think Ragatha meant this in reference to Jax's abstracted friend.

I think this implies that Jax used to get on with the rest of the cast.

He probably was a pain in the ass and annoyed everyone, but on a more tolerable level, maybe as comedic relief, and not as openly and directly agonistic and mean. I think having his froggy friend helped him balance out.

After losing that friend he got nihilistic about their situation and just decided to be rude and hurtful because nothing mattered to him anymore.

And I think that Pomni is what will level him out again and keep him real. We saw it in this episode a lot. With Pomni he is more open and breaks his persona to share his actual thoughts and even feelings.

mom, would you wash my back? this once, and then we can forget

God Ragatha always being belittled and made to feel guilty for not being perfectly demure and well-behaved and facing backlash for just being herself. And then people hate her for doing what she was told to her entire life. And then she finally does what they tell her to do and then just give her mortified looks for it. Making Ragatha feel guilty for expressing negativity like her mother all over again. Girl could start hallucinating her mother’s face over everyone else’s and it’d make perfect sense for her state of mind. She’s been haunted by her mother and shaped by her mother and is now trying to be a mother to her own adult peers because being a woman is fucking insane.

Everytime I see a take saying that they have no sympathy for Ragatha because shes toxic and was horrible to Jax this episode I want to bash my head into a wall /silly

I think a lot of people are misunderstanding what she meant by "Not anymore...". She didn't mean "Oh lmao his friend died" she meant "After he became an asshole everyone stopped wanting to be friends with him" yet Jax misunderstood it as the former. You can tell thats not what she meant because she says as much when she notices him death glaring her. And no, its not an excuse because she "thought he wouldn't hear her". She knew he could probably hear her and expected a different reaction because she meant something different.

I'm so tired of people calling her horrible for making a couple mistakes towards someone whos been blatantly an asshole. I love Jax. I love him a lot, but he doesn't deserve all the sympathy here. Ragatha isn't some secretly evil and toxic person. Shes a person who's fawning as a response to trauma and is making mistakes.

[jaxify]

I really loved this scene because Jax completely froze and didn't stop looking her way even after she left, he was frozen and lost in his thoughts while Pomni was left in a very awkward position because of the tension between those two oh i hate them

Jax assumed he knew the full truth of who Ragatha is as a person, he assumed that he could taunt her into becoming like him, as prideful as him. He most likely assumes everyone is like that.

This is how he talks about her

That is how anyone talks about someone they don't know on a deeper level but they still feel suspicious of or simply don't like. He assumes she's pretending all the time and that her kindness has no meaning. He assumes he knows her.

And when she apologized, when she admitted and even went back to her own mistake from earlier and mentioned it herself despite her pride being hurt (something he would not do about his own mistakes because of his pride and the persona he puts on)

When she did that she immediately shattered the perception and narrative he had built in his mind about her, that deep inside she was mean and everything she was was a farse. She actually faced her flaws and apologized and proved him wrong and he has no idea how to deal with that

[jaxify]

I'm kind of obsessed with this moment because like

Jax has been harassing Ragatha all day, actively trying to drive a wedge between her and Pomni, and just generally trying to break down her mask of positivity for no other reason than his own amusement.

But she still apologizes to him because she sees what's really behind his behavior. Because she knows she upset him and genuinely regrets it. Because even after everything he's put her through, she still cares about him.

And he's only realizing it now that it's far too late to change course.

bunnydoll really is just two sides of the same coin. they wear a mask to hide their true self as a coping mechanism, but while ragatha does it in order to show others the best version of herself (chosing to take a more social and positive role, regardless of how it's affecting her mental state, bc to her, being well liked is better than being alone) while jax on the other hand shows only the worst version of himself (regardless of the isolation it brings him, bc in his eyes, nothing is worse than faking kindness)

they make me so unwell.

jealous bunny

"Ragatha grits her teeth and finally throws a jab and then a solid right cross back, just missing his head by an inch, physically feeling a gust of air go along his sweaty chin. “There we go! That’s my girl!”

“Not!” She throws another punch, landing straight in his block, and pulls back only to punch again, “Your!” knocking him back with a much stronger force, “Girl!”

He quickly gets back up and laughs, “Jeez Rags, coulda turned me down a little nicer. Break this poor bunny’s heart, why don’t ya?”

More Dubbing

As a British person, I actually didn't bat an eye to this, until I remembered that this isn't an English show. (For context, British people use 'love' as a substitute for 'mate'. Say I'm speaking to my friend for example, I might say "What's up, love?") But then I also remembered that GLITCH is an Australian company, so if GLITCH does the dubbed scripts for the show, then that's probably why - I'm pretty sure Australians use love, too, but I'm not too sure. However, if Gooseworx makes the dubbed scripts, then...

Part of the word 'laleczko' also translates to 'darling'.

This made me giggle.

Chat, is this flirting?!

This is the closest to the English version.
