Random theories about Jax after episode 5

Disclaimer, I have no idea if I’m even close with any of these.

*Spoilers*

Theory 1: Jax and Ribbit are siblings, or cousins that hung out literally all the time.

People keep saying Jax and Ragatha are siblings, because of farms coming up in both of their backstories. But I kind of doubt it, even though they definitely have history.

If Ragatha is the secretly abused daughter of the rich farm owners, maybe Jax is the son of one of the underpaid staff, or just a poorer person in the same town.

Another thing is that Jax and Ragatha have similar proportions, but Ribbit matches Jax more design wise.

Ragatha’s hands are mittens with pointer fingers, while Jax has classic 4 fingered cartoon hands. Jax has toes (short as they are) while Ragatha has little nubs for feet. Ragatha’s mouth is a 2D drawing and she opens it all the way to talk, Jax usually just talks through his teeth but he does have a 3D mouth and lips.

Ragatha has 6 colors in her design (not including black) while Jax only has 4. Her hair and frilly dress also add to her having a more detailed design than him.

Ribbit has the same kind of fingers as Jax, the same smile, and feet with stumpy little toes. They both have the same smile, and have big pupils (Ragatha’s pupils are usually smaller).

Ribbit only has 4 colors in her design if you include the whites of her eyes. And has even less clothes than Jax.

If Kinger and Queenie entered together and had the theme of chess pieces, maybe Jax and Ribbit entered together with the same theme too. They’re animals that look like they come from the same show or toy line.

I think Ribbit might actually be the older sibling/cousin of the two. And speaking of that:

Theory two: Jax was only 16 when he put on the headset.

We have the current, non-abstracted Circus members’ ages, and I’m going to assume that the show takes place in 2024.

Jax is the youngest at 22 years old, with Zooble being just a few months older. But in episode 1 he says they’ve all been trapped there for years. So he has to have been there for at least 2.

I think Zooble entered after Jax and was older when she did, and probably has only been there 2 years. Legally you’re supposed to be at least 18 to bartend, and if Zooble only did it briefly that would imply she didn’t grow up the child of a family with a bar/restaurant.

So if Zooble started tattooing after bartending for a while, she’d be at least 19, 20 years old when she entered the circus.

Breaking Bad’s finale dropped in 2013, when Jax was 11. We don’t actually know how old he was when he started watching, but it’s possible Ribbit let him watch secretly as the cool older sibling when he was a preteen.

I also think they were down to break into abandoned buildings to hang out one on one, and were probably just messing with the headsets at C and A as a joke when they got trapped in the digital world.

If Jax was 16 when he got trapped, that would mean he’s been in the Circus for 6 years. And after being there so long, it’d make sense he’d start breaking the fourth wall and get more influenced by whatever the Circus is doing to their minds. And also why he’s so quick to call Kinger crazy; projection.

It might also be the reason Ribbit abstracted. “I got my 16 year old brother/cousin into this mess and I can’t get him out. We’re gonna be stuck here forever and it’s all my fault!”

It would also explain why he’s so immature. He lost the real life structure and consequences that come from having to go to school and work and deal with your parents. He never grew up, his sense of humor is still that of a teenage boy.

Theory three: Jax will help the others escape but not make it out himself.

In I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream, one of the humans puts the others out of their misery, but is caught by AM before he can free himself. We don’t know if any of the circus members will end up mirroring that.

It could be Pomni because she’s the main character. It could be Kinger because he helped make the game and it would be so tragic. It could be Zooble since she refused to go on the adventures and sent Caine into a downward spiral by mistake.

But I think if it happens, it’ll be Jax.

He’s the only one with a one Syllable name apart from Caine. He breaks the fourth wall. He has keys to everyone’s rooms. He’s realizing the Circus has some sort of influence over their minds now. He’s lost Ribbit and Kaufmo.

Jax is the one person who bullies the others. The one who’ll always be a jerk for better or for worse. He’s the one guy you’d never expect to get them out or give them something that allows them to find a way out before abstracting or getting lost to the Circus.

I think he’ll figure out something huge about the way the digital world and/or Caine is altering their minds and memories. Something that he and Kinger are already reeling from. But he might only manage to pass that info onto Pomni before getting captured or abstracted. And give her the room keys.

Theory four: Ragatha unintentionally smothered Jax in the wake of Ribbit’s abstraction and that’s why they had a falling out.

Ragatha is older than him and a people pleaser. I can see her deciding she’s gonna go all in on comforting Jax and being “the mom friend” and making it better. Thinking that her positivity is going to lift him out of his grief.

But that’s not what he needed, and he didn’t see her as a role model. Ribbit was the one person Jax looked up to the most and his only connection to the real world. His only family in the Circus. His main role model.

I think Kinger would have actually been more of a help, but not consistently. Kinger was probably the actual dad friend of the Circus, but his mental decline stole that away.

Maybe that’s why Jax distances himself from Kinger but doesn’t bully him; it was painful to watch his other role model deteriorate.

It’s also very possible he had memory relapses where he didn’t remember somebody’s abstracted. A couple badly timed “Where is Ribbit, anyway?”s might have been the thing that made Jax pull away from Kinger and start calling him “crazy”.

Losing Ribbit was something Jax obviously didn’t handle in a healthy way. But I imagine that giving him space to go off on his own would have helped a bit right after the abstraction. Space to be away from people and not have to talk about it or be seen crying.

Now picture, if you will, Ragatha constantly popping in to ask if Jax is okay and if he wants to talk about it and trying to get him to hang out with the main group.

Knocking on the door to his room with the “I just wanted to say” speeches and insisting on bringing him food, and reiterating that she’s there as a shoulder to cry on.

And then, since he’s not responding well to all of that and would rather be alone, Ragatha thinks she must not be doing enough/a good enough thing and doubles down. Not understanding that she needs to back off.

I think Jax was pushed past his limit and snapped at her for trying to act like “It’s okay, it’s all okay, us being trapped here is okay!” And on her end, he’s always insisting on being miserable and mean all the time, and rejecting actual attempts to help.

Do you think Luke and Leia ever got to a point where they could joke about him being on the underside of Cloud City?

Because on one hand, if Luke didn’t somehow manage to cling to the bottom of the city, he would be dead. Same thing if they couldn’t find him in the Falcon in time.

But on the other hand, there’s the visual of a guy dwarfed by this massive, flat surface at the bottom of a flying city. And it’s so absurd that he’s managing to hang upside down on it without plummeting; especially from far away where you can’t see the little footholds and crevices he’s grabbing.

And that’s terrifying, but the absurdity of it all in hindsight might be something they could derive humor from.

Both of them had a really traumatic day, but I can’t help but wonder if they’d reminisce and chuckle about this. “Remember that time I was dangling off Cloud city’s backside?”

Same thing with Han saying “I know” to Leia’s “I love you!” The bluntness of it is funny, and it could be that one thing she always brings up to tease him when they’re married. Or not.

I don’t know, with how many close calls they’ll have after the fact, the twins might “get used to it” enough to have a laugh.

What do y’all think?

In the X-wing novels, Biggs’ rich family has a really cool house on Tatooine. His dad’s a rich water mogul.

“From above it looked fairly normal- a compound surrounding a number of buildings including a tall tower. From the ground what became apparent was that, aside from the entryway and the tower itself, the buildings he’d seen were all constructed below the planet’s surface. Gavin slid the landspeeder to a stop near the entryway beside several other landspeeders and then led Mirax and Corran down through the stairs to the compound’s main courtyard. The stark white color of everything aided the suns in producing glare, but Corran realized that white absorbed far less solar energy […]”

“The Darklighter estate struck Corran as an expensive compromise between the practicalities demanded by Tatooine and the essence of elegance as defined in other places within the galaxy. Fountains and pools would have been a foolish waste, but Huff succeeded in providing water features by encasing them entirely in transparisteel.

Whereas a simple decorative column in any other home might have been painted brightly, Huff filled it with water and bubbled air up through it. Tiles on the thick walls were decorated and colored in such a way that they created optical illusions meant to diminish the blockiness of the house’s design. Liberal use of transparisteel gave the dwelling an openness that it would not have otherwise had […]”

-Star Wars X-Wing book 4, The Bacta War (1997)

So basically Biggs Darklighter was Luke’s rich friend, but he didn’t want to inherit his father’s water empire.

I think spaces like the Lars family dining room are made of adobe and just partially painted instead of laying tile since it’s cheaper. It also says something that the tiles at the Darklighter courtyard are gleaming white; they have the money to keep the grout and the tiles themselves clean.

Now as for Luke’s uncle’s house, the first Star Wars had a lower budget, and the futuristic Lars kitchen is actually furnished with 70s era stuff. I’m not sure where they got everything, or how much was altered or made for the movie, but here’s some things I noticed.

The roof of this dining room does have a pretty cool design on it. I imagine it was part of the existing house they used.

Old Tupperware has that same milky, semi-transparent look and matte texture, and has some of the same indents on the side. I think they also sold pitchers and cups made of the same thing, and that’s what was used here.

The cabinets and cubbies are so interesting to me, I don’t know where they’re from. Or if they were made for the movie. They could be made of plastic too, given the rounded edges and reflections and grooves where the shelves go. But it could also be painted wood or metal, with frosty glass doors? Not sure.

But Midcentury modern furniture sometimes had slants, including upper cabinets.

It’s just that the corners were left crisp, not rounded.

These nozzle things are also very 60s-70s, but I don’t know what they’re called.

The red and clear containers in the upper right are another retro item I don’t know the name of. Also, two angular steel bowls, one flipped upside down? Still can’t tell what the cabinet doors are made of.

We’ve only really seen “crazy old Ben Kenobi’s” modest house and the room where they lowered C3P0 into oil, so who knows what the rest of the Lars house looks like. Colored tile is a possibility, but Tatooine is a scammers paradise so it might be out of most people’s price range. :(

I've been thinking about the interior of houses on Tatooine and i have some ideas.

We all know what the outside looks like:

dull, brown, compact and sturdy. But what does the inside look like? Forgive me if I'm wrong but this:

was about all i could find. This doesn't show us bedrooms or any personalization, or really what the actual home looks like. So here are my ideas!

I like to think that painted clay tiles are very popular. They allow for a lot of color and customization, while keeping the house cool. Most hot places have them installed because they stay so cold.

Children's rooms could have fun murals like this!

The ceiling could have bright colors or fun patterns like this

If the house have stairs the tiles could be placed on the stairs for this effect

I just feel like painted clay tiles can add a lot of fun color to such a dull and drab planet. Humans have always loved color and pretty things and i doubt that would be different even on other planets.

Missing In Action 16 Chapter 16: Vestige Eve

It’s almost time to try and jog Spy’s memory. But there’s some things he needs to know first.

Pauling knew it was time to make her entrance when Spy’s wails echoed off the walls.

Spy needed to know that the old Admin was dead, even though it was recent. They’d tell him everything else in order, but letting him think Helen was plotting was too cruel. It was important he saw Ms Merriam alive and well first, too.

“But how can zhis be? Twenty five years?-“ Young Spy’s head snapped to face Flo as she entered the Medbay. Confusion melted into seething rage behind his eyes.

“What did you do?” Pauling hesitated despite herself. Spy had always been imposing; he was a mercenary after all. But he’d never really been angry with her, not like this. Even a few days ago he’d been trying to hide it. Not anymore.

“I didn’t cause this. Neither did the old Administrator, when she was alive.”

“Liar.” Uh oh.

“I- I’m not-“

“You wanted to be young again. I was your lab rat, to see if it’d work. You needed my team dead to fuel your return to youth, didn’t you!”

Flo and Scout’s mom were both too surprised to speak. The theory was absurd, but the more Pauling thought about it, the more it made sense.

The old Administrator used the Malum deaths to rejuvenate somehow, and their youngest and only surviving member as her test for eternal youth. That was how 25 years could pass without him aging. Maybe he’d been in some sort of containment until recently, and then dumped in the desert.

It was going to be hard to convince Spy otherwise.

“She didn’t tamper with your age, this is a different lady. The old hag died almost two months ago.” Ms Merriam said. Pauling appreciated the help.

Still, Antoine stared her down coldly, eyebrow raised something fierce. He was looking her up and down while she choked out a reply.

“You don’t remember me yet, but I was her assistant. Somehow that made me qualified enough to take her place.. The Admin I mean, not-“

“Fine.” He grunted, siting back with an unamused glare.

“..Y-you-?“

“Zhat old demon couldn’t muster a sweet, kind act if her life depended on it. I assumed you were a body double originally.” He shrugged.

So much for her Helen impression.

“They said you got cursed by that wizard.. uh..” Scout’s mom snapped absently, trying to remember the name.

“Merasmus. That’s the real reason your team went to track him down.” Flo watched Spy’s eyebrows furrow.

“My team?”

———————————

It was him. He was the missing Spy.

Antione could not remember being their Spy. If any teammates had told him their names, he could not recall them. Nor how long they had been working together.

But logically, it began to make sense. Their Spy disappears and he just so happens to be stranded nearby. Conveniently, there was no helicopter wreckage or pilot’s corpse nearby when he woke up in the desert.

The desert Spy’s quarters were built to specifications that suited him. He found the kitchen and all the secret food pockets.

Things were organized how he would organize them. He found everything he needed in the Spy’s kitchen with ease, but not the shared one.

By some miracle all of the wine and cigarettes in the study were to his tastes, the chair at exactly the right height.

It also explained why the desert Spy looked so much like father.

Antione had resigned himself to the fact that he was father’s spitting image a long time ago. That was not what was bothering him.

No, what bothered him was that the Scout didn’t like him. From that first day at base it was obvious. Desert Scout wanted to give the study tour and get out. He hated the paintings, he didn’t want to sit in the chair, he was angry seeing his Spy’s food supply.

Why? Trying to catch those memories, the ones that held the answer, was like holding water in your hands. It slipped through Antione’s fingers every time he attempted to remember.

Scout was very, very angry with his older self, even in his absence. But Spy couldn’t for the life of him recall the reason.

Perhaps that was why he felt a gnawing sense of familiarity around the desert Scout.

They had to have had a falling out of some kind. Had they been close before? The only clue Spy found was a dreadful ache in his chest when he racked his brain for the answers.

Something very bad had happened. But Antione couldn’t apologize when he didn’t even know what he should be sorry for.

He hissed in frustration and laid back on the cot.

Merriam and the boys were okay, according to her. But she wasn’t really elaborating.

Spy was told that to break his curse, he needed to revisit his memories in order. And that might work.

Merriam brought scrapbooks from the years he couldn’t recall. If he’d actually been well, they could have taken him to the secret house where he kept said scrapbooks, but it couldn’t be helped.

Tomorrow was the day he’d look through them. Everyone else had decided to let him marinate on the fact that he was desert Spy and that the Admin was gone.

He appreciated that.

Somehow, Antione’s thoughts kept going back to desert Scout. Why, he had no idea, when all he was trying to focus on was his family.

Merriam was acting different, and that worried him. She was always so stoic, always moving forward. It was shocking to see her this remorseful.

Why should she be? He asked himself angrily.

I was the one who left, I was the one who- who… What did he do?

Spy paused in the dim nighttime glow of the Medbay.

What did he do?

Something… Something afterwards. But what did he do?

The answer was as far away as whatever he did to upset Scout.

Why? Why couldn’t he remember?! Antione smacked his forehead and choked out a frustrated sob.

———————————-

“Don’t do that!” Somebody said.

Spy clutched at his hair mid-tug, startled. A light turned on nearby and illuminated the BLU Medic.

Reluctantly, he relinquished the death grip on his hair and let his arms fall into his lap.

“What’s wrong?” The Medic asked kindly. He was a lot calmer than the RED Medic, even though they looked alike. Actually, BLU Medic seemed familiar in a way Spy couldn’t place.

“I.. don’t know! I can’t remember!”

“Ah..” Medic got a far away look in his eye. Antione felt kind of stupid for letting himself kick up a fuss over it. He must have made enough noise to wake the doctor.

“That’s sounds silly, doesn’t it?”

“Not at all.” The doctor’s voice was rough, almost pained. He sat down on a stool next to the cot. “What don’t you remember?”

Antione took a moment to answer.

“I- My ex is acting so different. I don’t know what I did to make her so upset with herself, but I must have-“

“You assume it’s your fault?” Medic interjected.

“I did something, I can feel it. But I just can’t figure out what.”

“Hm.” BLU thought for a moment. “I can’t remember things either.”

“Why?”

“Malum wasn’t the only team to lose people. They were just the first. Maybe that’s why I still remember treating you all.”

“Doctor?” It was the Malaise team Medic, his BLU Medic! “I didn’t.. I didn’t recognize you…” Spy’s voice cracked.

“Don’t hold it against yourself. Truth be told, I didn’t recognize you when we started fighting in this desert. We both got older.”

“You said you treated other teams?” Spy asked. Dr. Ludwig looked away sorrowfully.

“The respawn machines were malfunctioning because Jules Archibald thought he could cut costs. Replace some of the chemicals with cheaper, less reliable alternatives. But of course nobody knew for a while.”

“So the Admin really didn’t kill Malum.”

“No. She didn’t care to make a profit off the Gravel war. Not sure why, but it meant she wasn’t impressed with Jules’ cheap substitute fuels. Had him killed after the truth came out.”

“Oh.” They died for someone’s stupid bottom line, then. Not the Admin’s bloodlust.

“I.. I cannot remember a lot of the bad things in my life. Not just respawn failures after Malum. My mind became divided when I was small, back in Germany.”

“I’m sorry.” And he was. Antione wouldn’t wish that on anyone. Much less a friend.

“It’s not your fault. It was some sort of coping mechanism. My mind divided itself and locked those memories away, because they were too much for me to handle.”

The doctor adjusted in his seat to face Spy better with a tight lipped smile.

“You must have been very strong to cope with your bad memories all these years. However painful they are. And it seems the rest of RED will be there for you if you need their help.”

“Thank you, doctor. I.. I didn’t think I’d see you again. Im glad you’re here. Are you going to be okay?” Medic blinked and went still.

“He’s getting there.” Antione stiffened. The doctor sounded different, moved different. He cracked a wry smile.

“Your memory wasn’t the only thing that got divided, was it?” Dr Ludwig had been through more than Spy thought.

“You’re a perceptive one, aren’t you?” The more cynical and tough ‘version’ of Medic chuckled. “Yeah. I’m Bitterbose. I wasn’t around back in the day, but I’ve heard of you.”

“Nice to meet you.” Antione wasn’t sure what else to say.

“Fritz is okay, you didn’t say anything wrong.” Gritty Bitterbose Medic was perceptive too. “You just remind him of BLU Scout a lot, I think he was scared he’d start blabbering about it.”

“Um.. okay?” Spy watched the doctor rub the back of his head and look off at nothing for a second.

“Welp, goodnight kiddo.” Gritty Medic got up and left without turning off the light.

It also helps that Vader is so unique looking. He’s masked, so they didn’t have to register a human face before recognizing it.

There’s no common droid models that could be mistaken for him. Maybe a body double that Vader or the Emperor made, but that would only come out when they want to fool somebody.

I’m sure Palpatine wanted his right hand to be infamous and easily recognized for the intimidation factor.

But yeah, shoutout to Han for staying in front of his friends and trying to defend them. And also Leia for not letting go of his hand.

I appreciate The Empire Strikes Back for being the only time I can think of when a character just shot their enemy as soon as they saw them without pausing or having a dramatic moment beforehand.

It’s the fact that Rey watched Kylo Ren kill his own father, learned that he tried to kill his own mother, got tortured by him, and had her attempts to reform him rejected, but she still thought he was hot and she could change him. For me.

Meanwhile Luke had feelings for Mara Jade, sensed that she was in emotional turmoil, and wanted to befriend her; but he wouldn’t let that blind him.

Yes he wanted to help her, and was patient in the face of her delusions and anger, but he wasn’t stupid about it. She was a dangerous assassin with Dark side abilities, looking for revenge. She could have hurt people he cares about or caused serious problems for the New Republic.

So if he needed to fight Mara to defend himself or stop her schemes, he did. It would be splendid if she’d stop hating him and reform and maybe even be his friend, but he couldn’t just risk lives on a hypothetical.

And Mara Jade? The Emperor kidnapped and raised her. He was the closest thing to a father she had. In her mind she is better than everyone except Palpatine. She only respected him, only wanted validation from him.

The Emperor made her think Luke and Vader ganged up on him and killed him as his final act. And she was supposed to assassinate Skywalker before that in Jabba’s palace.

So she got herself all ready for revenge, convinced herself that Luke has an ego and is selfish and whatnot (projecting her own arrogance that the Emperor made sure to instill in her). Had this mental image of the guy and how satisfying killing him would be.

Problem: Skywalker isn’t like that. They ended up saving each other’s lives multiple times over. In fact he was so genuine, so actively nice and silly and interested in becoming friends that it was a shock to her system. I don’t think real affection computed at all. Whatever affection Palpatine gave her as a “dad” was a tool to control her, not real.

So she’s delusional because she’s trying to hold onto the idea of revenge and her brainwashing and her grief. It’s not like she was meant to process negative emotions well, she was raised Sith. Mara hung onto the mission to avenge Palpatine for a while, even with the conflicting emotions from Luke actually treating her well.

Kylo Ren killed Han for no good reason and attempted the same with Leia. His parents. Who had nothing to do with Luke trying to kill him. Even his own master said he was stupid for killing Han.

Mara Jade’s whole world collapsed when the Emperor died. She hate, Hate, HATED! Luke Skywalker for taking her father figure away, and herself for not getting rid of him when she was supposed to. Wouldn’t it be dishonorable to abandon her revenge just because the target is kind?

Rey simped after a dictator who constantly chose to do evil, including torturing her and murdering his own dad. Someone who was 23 when Luke thought about killing him for using the dark side. Twenty. Three. (Why did they act like he was still a kid, I swear that’s what they implied in the movie???)

Meanwhile Luke could tell Mara was seriously unwell, and wished her the best first and foremost over romance. But understood that he would need to be prepared to fight her if the need arose.

I don’t think RED Scout picked up any of Spy’s Frenchness growing up, just because he was so little when he left.

But he probably started to take on the other Merc’s little sayings and some of their traditions. Once he started working for RED.

So he might randomly say something in French; but he’d probably only have a general idea of what it means, not the precise definition. And he wouldn’t know why Spy does France-specific traditions or superstitions any more than he’d know why Medic, Heavy, or Demoman do theirs.

So genetically he’s half French, but culturally it doesn’t really matter since he wasn’t raised knowing that.

BLU Scout knew he had a dad since RED Spy and his mom have been together all these years, but he didn’t know much about him. I imagine Spy would be putting on an American accent or writing in English when talking to him growing up. So he’s not culturally French either.

TF2 community, ever since spy was revealed to be scout's dad, do you view scout as being half french or what?

Discuss it below
