Analyzing Jax's Spiral

1.) The prequel

Before Jax even started his self-destructive behavior, he was really off.

He summoned Caine to piss of Zooble and forgot the reason he did it to begin with.

He totally zoned out when Caine gave directions.

And when accused of some grand plan with Pomni...

...he had no idea what she was talking about.

I believe all of these above are examples of Jax's mask slipping. Jax let his guard down, and now we're starting to see that he's just some dopey guy that's barely reached adulthood.

Jax wants to look like a profound mastermind but he simply is not.

2.) He becomes self-aware

When Ragatha accuses him of getting close to Pomni to corrupt her, he loses it. Ragatha probably meant "I know that you're trying to get Pomni to partake in your antisocial and abusive bullying behavior," but Jax heard it as "You're choosing to get close to someone again to drag them to abstraction." This is where he becomes extra aware of his relationship with Pomni.

3.) He tries to play it cool but realizes he's getting Pomni hurt.

Jax really does try to keep opening up to Pomni. He revealed that his fear of corn is rooted in trypophobia, and when Pomni points out that she's getting to know him, he probably thinks back to what Ragatha said. I'm guessing his thoughts are along the lines of "Ragatha said I'm getting closer to Pomni to make her abstract like my past friends."

I'm going to come back to why it had to be Ragatha specifically to start his spiral.

With that on his mind, we get the shootout with Kinger in the dark room.

Although it was accidental, he hurt Pomni, and he apologized right away. He certainly felt bad.

They're both almost back to normal during the scene when they pursue Zooble to their room. After their duet, Jax gets the idea to break into Zooble's room with one of his many keys.

That caused Zooble to absolutely demolish them both and caused them to lose a life.

Zooble ran away and Pomni immediately went to pursue them.

Jax got afraid of Pomni taking on Zooble alone but he stayed behind to contemplate in the hallway.

He's super distressed over seeing Kaufmo's and Ribbit's doors. He just watched Pomni get hurt in this very hallway mere moments ago, so he connects it to the friends he failed to save. Jax made the connection that HE is the problem. His companionship is what causes people to get hurt, to abstract.

I believe this is the moment where Jax realizes he NEEDS to distance himself from Pomni.

And, in my opinion, that's why Jax reacted so strangely to Pomni's hug. He likes her and he enjoyed the hug but he's in too deep. He has to physically and metaphorically push her away.

I'm not entirely sure about his reaction here, but he keeps staring at the hand that pushed Pomni while Pomni has already moved on. He's touched her before, so what is it? Grief? Guilt? Regret? Love? You could make an argument for all of the above.

Either way, the last thing on Jax's mind is to hurt Pomni physically. He's wayyy too traumatized for that. Instead, he's hoping that Pomni will make it easy for him distance himself by shooting him. Physically, Jax would go to another room. Emotionally, Jax would have an excuse to push Pomni away. Instead, Pomni sussed him out and called him out on it.

Jax tried everything to get her to shoot him. He heckled her, claimed they weren't a team, and was an all around jerk to her uncharacteristically after what she thought was a wonderful day together. Again, he references Ragatha. I promise I'll get back to her.

Pomni picks up on exactly what Jax is doing. He wants to end their friendship. But why? That's why she tries to reason with him. She finally hit a nerve when she brought up abstraction.

He thinks she's blaming him for the abstraction of Ribbit, the friend that Pomni didn't even know. Once she sees his mask drop, she hones in on the abstraction conversation.

Jax claims that he'd move on and forget about her. For a moment, I actually think she believed him and considered turning the gun on herself before Jax backtracked and claimed it was a joke.

Pomni, being the incredibly emotionally mature and intelligent person she is, cracked the code. She knows that Jax is so afraid of her abstracting and that's why he won't hurt her physically. THAT is why Pomni fought him. She wanted to confirm her theory.

Jax pretty much admitted it himself. He tries HARD to mask again by going full villain and claiming that he's a some sort of sociopath that derives pleasure from the pain of others.

This is where I finally talk about Ragatha. Jax acts extremely mean to Ragatha. He's disproportionately cruel to her even though she's so kind. I think what Jax is doing here is exactly what he did to Ragatha, and she didn't pick up on the core of his insecurities like Pomni. Ragatha would never get physical like that. Ragatha DOES believe his villain persona is real.

To me, Ragatha admitting that she failed Jax is implying something deeper: she didn't always hate him; she once loved him. She probably still does in a way. And Jax? Ragatha knew Ribbit and Kaufmo. He's probably terrified of losing someone like Ragatha, so he pushed her away before she could abstract. To him, it's probably working since she's still around.

Back to Pomni- Jax finally fully cracks and shows that part of himself to Pomni.

Pomni did what nobody else would do and saw what nobody else could see. For whatever reason, Jax doesn't swear, but he did in front of Pomni. I think he was finally too tired to hide his real feelings, and honestly, I don't think he wanted to since he was aching over the very real pain he caused Pomni. Not to mention, he knew that Pomni saw through his behavior.

Jax's plea at the end was that of desperation. He knew he lost the battle but there's nothing more to say. He's begging Pomni to just pretend that his mask is the real and to not pursue him; to give up just like everyone else had.

But Pomni won't just give up on anyone like that. She watches him through the award show. She knows he's unwell because he's avoiding her and left mid show. Even better, she now has Ragatha by her side through it all.

Now Ragatha is also armed with the knowledge that Jax is a broken guy who uses his toxic behavior to "save" people from him. Trust me, this isn't the end of Jax. I think we're finally going to see Jax and Ragatha come together to fix their issues, and for Jax and Pomni to build a bond stronger than any other in the circus.

She’s gonna keep looking, don’t worry

Catfight

The primal urge to jump your crush and bite his jugular vein until he regains his desire for connection & stops being chronically apathic towards his own and everyone elses humanity

[jinxqq]

Imagine having a panic attack in a bathroom only to look up and realize your eye abstracted and you're now a danger to those around you. Whoops.

Well guess who got more angst up their sleeve & is planning on writing a mini-fanfic with exactly this scenario THIS BITCH!!

Funnybunny doodles (excuse the bad quality I had to download the pics from my other blog thru my phone)

I love them so much I think I might just blow up at some point idk if imma be able to survive ep6 without screaming a hundred times

[jinxqq]

hello funnybunny nation how we feeling about ep 6

[jinxqq]

I can't get over the fact that she most likely bit his neck in that scene, so I created two really quick doodles at like 7am because the autism is that strong I'm team "yeah she bit his neck here" and the man was just too stunned to speak so he threw her off LMAO

get traumatized loser

[jinxqq]

I AM NOT OKAY AND I DREW SHIT TO DEAL WITH IT!!

gangle handling that tommy gun was so incredibly sexy I can't believe she had a sloppy makeout session with Zooble in the after credits scene!

also jax, I fucking hate you, please get better. I'm just. in tears. I threw up. I didnt ate my pizza I prepared for the episode until almost 4 hours later. get beaten up by your wife, you deserve it.

[jinxqq]

pomni’s type

[jinxqq]

people saying funnybunny is doomed now? weak!! everyone!! the ship just got EVEN BETTER, it has so much potential and SPICE it's making go feral.

Pomni straight up JUMPING Jax the second she realizes he's fucking faking his entire stick and how awful he makes everyone feel by being sorry for himself is exactly what this motherfucker needs. He needs to get beaten up by the woman willing to take him ON.

Is it healthy? No but is it INTRUIGING??? YES. LET THEM THROW HANDS, LET JAX FEEL THE EFFECTS OF HIS BULLYING. Pomni is most likely the first person in a long while that actually physically responds to him being an absolute asshole outside of Zooble, who mainly resorts to verbal responses. No. This woman saw that speaking to him doesn't help, so she fucking BIT HIS ASS.

Pomni is canonically adversed to touch, and she opens up to Jax in the episode, lets him willingly hold her hand and everything. And the hurt she must've felt when he put on this fake persona with the whole "oh i dont care about you :)"... Her first response being physical contact even if it's violent? She trusted him, and he's gonna feel this pain.

bad dogs get the corn

ignore the fuckass doodle on the top

[jinxqq]

More ideas and concept scenes for the Chaos in Caine Street AU that I share with @chubs-deuce: in which everyone gets booted to a two-week-long adventure into the working-class suburbs to play pretend at stereotypical wedded home life...not really.

Or: Jax becomes the residential overlord of the HOA in record time as a terrifying alternative to setting Ragatha on fire, Pomni learns to shoot white piked fences with sniper accuracy, Kinger runs a successful cooking show on gun violence, and Zooble and Gangle are living their best life away from everyone's bullshit. May the best team win.

[jinxqq]

you're my funny bunny oo-wa-oooh

[jinxqq]

I'm alive I promise Been kinda obsessed with tadc lately

[jinxqq]

I'm a watermelon slammed into your driveway

Crack me open so I feel the air inside me

SOOO I've been thinking about this A LOT and since the trailer came out I feel like they are similar with Simon and Patty a lil' bit??

I think in some ways Jax and Pomni just suddenly and unexpectedly for both of them found a common language and became close as Patty and Simon did, despite the fact that they themselves are not very open towards others, and they REALLY like to hang out together and do crazy things, FAR from legal. They can just afford to be themselves (the behavior of these two in the trailer) and it's just so cute!!!!!!! yea mb i'm a delusional but here they are 🥺 hi funnybunny comunity !!!!!

bonus cause she s adorable
