In episode six of The Amazing Digital Circus — Jax gets too real!

In all seriousness, this was completely fantastic to watch. It was such a good depiction of self destructive behaviors and Michael Kovach was PHENOMENAL.

His instant reaction to pomni hugging him was super telling. He wants to get closer to her, his behaviors show that clearly, but he fears it as well.

His regret after the outburst is also extremely telling.

This did not go as planned. He did not expect to get so close to her and have to push her so suddenly away. He didn’t want to push her away, but felt in this moment that he needed to, at all costs.

As much as he wants everyone to believe his actions were planned, they were IMPULSIVE.

As insistent as he was on telling Pomni that he didn’t care, that it was stupid to think that he might, Pomni was right when she pointed out that Jax wasn’t fighting back. He DID care.

He never hurt Pomni for his own fun at any point in this episode. His actions directly contradict what he’s trying to make Pomni believe. He hurts the others, so she might believe him. But he didn’t want to hurt her. Not anymore. The only time he hurt her on purpose was when he felt like he needed to push her away. But otherwise? He has shown that he doesn’t see her as something to torment. Jax sees Pomni as an equal, a friend.

His words are hollow.

Even his reaction to Ragathas “accusing” him of making friends with Pomni was extreme. Initially his uncaring expression threw Ragatha off, but once she was eliminated you can see that this is the moment Jax realized he was going too far — far past even his own personal boundaries — in forming a bond with Pomni.

Jax was lying the whole time he tried to make Pomni believe he didn’t care. He used all his tricks. Deflected with jokes, brushed off the intensity of the situation, made fun of Pomnis attempts to befriend him, he even tried to make her push him away first with the traitor bit.

Actually, he seems to be obsessed with the whole bit thing, don’t you think? The archetypes.

He thinks that fitting into the role of the circus will help him survive.

As if trying to maintain humanity whilst being deprived of it causes abstraction.

So he picks the perfect role to extract himself of any sort of sincerity or responsibility.

The comedian.

He uses it as a shield even if it damages his relationship with Pomni. And he tries to use Pomni’s humorously chosen role to his advantage, to get her to leave.

Pomni’s prying would humanize him. He would be too open, too vulnerable, too human. He won’t be able to play his role anymore. Or use it to protect his sanity.

If he had nothing beneath his cruel exterior, he wouldn’t have to beg Pomni to stop looking.

Jax knows that if she keeps looking, if she helps him open up, if she pursues his friendship despite his protests, he WILL break, and he WILL show her who he really is. He can’t resist getting close with someone because he — like everybody else — needs a friend.

So he had to make her stop.

Whilst downloading a video on the history of Sonic.EXE, I innocently named the MP4 file ‘sonic.exe’ and it TURNED INTO A FUCKING .EXE FILE NOOOO

Cave Canaries communicate by tapping and scratching their claws on hard surfaces!

(Now if only I could find an animation to demonstrate that…)

I’m so sad nobody noticed Diyox comparing Apples to Oranges.

Stupid Argument Night. Venny’s idea. Pick a random subject and have a really fucking heated standoff about it.

Canary Posture!

Apart from the occasional sight of a Canary plopped down on its butt, Cave Canaries do not sit like most humanoids. Instead they balance with their feet beneath them, like a perching bird.

Hello. This is the first thing I’ve made of this kind, so I’m going to go ahead and answer some questions you might have.

The language is not a real language. It is an analog to simlish! I sat down putting nonsense together at my computer, lmao. Think of it like watching a show from the sim world subbed in English. This was due to multiple factors. Limitations such as preset mouth animations were part of it, but also personal aesthetic choices.

Jaque’s voicing was made out of edited and spliced audioclips.

I’m WCIF friendly for all the poses used.

Shots were filmed entirely in-game.
