I don't ship these two, but this is just... amazing.

Does this count as Funny bunny?

My first time using alight motion cuz capcut is a pain in the ass

Dude... just a thought. There's a lot of theories that Pomni is Kinger's real daughter, but what if it's actually Ragatha? After all, in episode five, she talks about her mother, but not her father. Maybe her dad is gone, but instead of being dead, he's missing. 0_0

I mean, look at how proud he is of his daughter!

[pundertalefan]

So... we just gonna stick with the idea that Gangke signed Jax's butt? XD

i’m signing at Odessa Geek Fest this weekend

Rate Jax's smile 1-10. #shorts

Whenever Glitch uploads something, I wonder when it's gonna be animated.

Not if. When.

The sibling energy is rising drastically with these two. XD

Chaos Sonic doesn't talk about it much, but he feels a little left out sometimes. He feels like the outcast robot in a family full of characters whose bodies aren't actually their own. So he's latched onto a certain someone.

Even though they aren't technically made by the same person, Chaos Sonic insists that Belle is his sister. After all, she technically wasn't Eggman's creation either.

He's introducing her to the family and some friends. Hanazuki and Pomni already knew her, but Ralsei is just meeting her now. He likes her taste in fashion. 💚🩷

I don't really have any additional thoughts, other than it's way too early, in my humble opinion, for any character to be labeled as irredeemable. Sure, Gooseworx said that there's nothing "heroic" about Jax, but that doesn't mean that there's no good in him. This applies to Ragatha as well. Yes, she did some hurtful things in the latest episode, but that doesn't mean she's secretly lying to everyone to spite them. Another thing that Gooseworx said about her (and assumingly all of the characters in general, is that not everything is black and white. There is nuance here.

We may have only four episodes left to go, but when you get down to it, we really don't have that much information still about who these characters are as people. We're getting close, though. I can sense it. And it's going to hurt.

Good art elicits all kinds of emotions.

It's just like that.

A deep analysis of Jax's vulnerability in the stargazing scene because I love this rabbit more than anything

⚠ OBVIOUS TADC EPISODE 5 SPOILERS!! ⚠

SCROLL IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED THE EPISODE YET!

DISCLAIMER: I don't hate Ragatha, but I didn't like her behaviour this episode. I want her to have a character arc where she learns and grows, these are my feelings and this is my perspective as someone who understands Jax on a deep level. Please be respectful of that in your replies, thank you.

Okay, first of all, I wanted to point out the way Jax's facial expression transforms in this scene:

People who don't fully understand Jax's character often overlook the fact that Jax doesn't say things out loud, you have to look at his expressions if you ever want to understand his true intentions. And Jax is such an expressive character, you can really derive a lot from just the way his face looks at any given moment.

And here...

He looks so...sad.

Like, I have never seen Jax look so genuinely hurt this whole series. He wanted to say something to answer Pomni's comment, but I have a feeling that he didn't want to do that in Ragatha's presence because he knew she was going to argue with him about it.

After Pomni asked him if he had any actual friends, his expression dropped, from annoyance to just...sorrow. 

...because that's probably the first time in a while someone has asked him that question. It's like when you're on the verge of tears and someone asks you if you're okay.

And I have a feeling he was going to answer "No" or "Not really..." before Ragatha interrupted him. That's when his eyes widen and he gets mad.

Jax's silence here speaks volumes. He says nothing, but his face and body language shows every bit of anger he's feeling at that very moment.

Jax doesn't want to defend himself for a reason.

I honestly feel like Jax is not only mad at Ragatha here for mentioning something so traumatic, but also because she answered HIS question FOR him. And quite rudely.

Ragatha took a moment he was trying to be vulnerable in and ruined it completely. Nothing she could say in that moment could fix that, and Jax knows if he tried to defend himself she'd just start getting defensive, like in the beginning of episode 4.

That moment he had the energy to actually fight back, but he says something incredibly important; "Why do you always make me out to be the bad guy? I'm not really a bad guy!"

Jax is aware he's a jerk, but he's tired of Ragatha making it so that's all he is. Because Jax sees it as banter and fun, but at some point it gets malicious because in his mind, if Ragatha wants him to be a villain? Then fine, he'll be one. No point in trying to be vulnerable and nice when she'll never care anyway.

Ragatha proved him right here, that's why he says nothing.

And when Pomni asks, he doesn't see the point in trying to explain deeply. He just says "It's... Nothing. Who cares."

Because in his mind, yeah, who cares. Whatever he says, he won't be listened to. Might as well keep being an asshole, right?

He attempts to vent, then ends it with an "...I don't know." before going back to acting snarky and sarcastic because the emotions were getting too overwhelming for him to handle.

When you consider all of this, Jax's dislike of Ragatha becomes more understandable.

Jax feels like Ragatha is trying to sabotage any chance he can get to have another friend, and I honestly deeply understand now why he's always so frustrated and mad at her. I would be so much angrier, he's being so forgiving here by not immediately lashing out and yelling at her.

And if he did, I would completely understand why.

Personally, I feel so bad for him. His reactions here hurt so much because they're so deeply relatable.

He was trying to open up, be vulnerable to someone new that he wants to make friends with. Only to be rudely reminded why he never does that, or why he's never even allowed to do that. That's deeply relatable as someone with trust issues, trying to make a friend in someone only for the person who's been preventing you from doing that to remind you why you're "not allowed" to have any.

Jax and Ragatha's relationship is beginning to ring as "abusive mother and son" to me, with the way she acts like she has no choice but to try and control Jax's behaviour. It's weird, and toxic.

Ragatha is becoming her mother even with how much she dislikes her, and I understand that deeply as someone who also has an abusive mother. But she needs to understand that even if Jax is annoying, it is NOT her decision who he gets to make friends with, it's NOT her responsibility to manage his behaviour.

And it's NOT her responsibility to decide whether he gets to be friends with Pomni or not. Pomni can think for herself, she can make her own decisions.

The fact she's taking this parental role on is detrimental to both her and her relationships. Not to mention Gangle must feel incredibly infantilized whenever Ragatha steps in to defend her, I wish Gangle would say something though because it's likely Ragatha doesn't know this and thinks she's doing her a favour.

I honestly hope Ragatha realizes this in episode 6 or 7, I don't want her to abstract before she gets to have this character arc. She's been through a lot but her behaviour isn't helping her situation, and she can still grow and change, but I don't think she deserves Jax's forgiveness tbh any more than he deserves hers.

...Maybe Kinger's unbiased and encouraging attitude can help more than Pomni's. I mean, he was the only one who could lift her mood after she looked so sad:

Kinger and Ragatha becoming like Zooble and Gangle is honestly what I'm hoping for because I see a LOT of potential in these two <3

Hey, if you read this far, reblog with your thoughts! I'm very happy to discuss, but please be civil!! I'll be blocking those with bad intentions.

[pundertalefan]

Well, the haunted house WAS his idea. Maybe he thought it would be scarier for it to feel more personal.

Either that, or he's just an AI that doesn't know the impact of what he's doing. I'm leaning towards the latter. Like Gooseworx said, he's not evil, just extremely clueless.

The centipede thing may be accurate. Perhaps Jax found a way to screw with the suggestion box, and that's why it's there. Who knows?

What was Caine's motivation behind adding a random centipede in the crowd, specifically in Ragatha's adventure?

It just seems like such a strangely petty decision on his part

It's like when he made the evil soul ask about Kinger's wife despite knowing she's abstracted, but this is even weirder because Caine should be aware Ragatha's afraid of centipedes since she said it out loud before and Jax has mentioned it subtly twice, but we can make the argument that the "evil souls" are just programmed to be evil

My only theory is that he was being petty because he doesn't want them to enjoy their own suggestions more than his, maybe that's also why he included two of Jax's suggestions since they would both end badly for the others, Caine seems to be aware Jax is a jerk since he made his "evil" counterpart a kind and soft-spoken person

[pundertalefan]

EX-AC-TLY.

Is ragatha really nice or faking it?

Everything is likely more complicated than a simple black or white answer.

[pundertalefan]

DEPENDS ON WHO YOU ASK! Man, I gotta re-read @gooseworx 's Tumblr blog after the end of the series. XD

IM CACKLING

[pundertalefan]

I think we're gonna get some serious storming.

The way Jax vents about Ragatha perfectly lines up with how Gangle described her to Pomni! Both have grown frustrated to Ragatha positive attitude as it feels like she's less so being genuine and more so playing a facade. Even if her intentions are genuine, it's the way she constantly acts like things are fine that annoys them.

[pundertalefan]

Welp. Have fun, fellas. XD

Hi! I don't know if you've answered this but, would you like to see "Evil" Jax and gangle interact in a future episode? How do you think they'd get along?

yeah they should kiss

[pundertalefan]

Another figure mishap. This one, however, doesn't seem as crazy. It looks like poor Gangle is pouring her heart out to Zooble. They're a good friend to her, so I could see this happening.

Gotta tag @vixenvtuber and @actuallynickels

[pundertalefan]

Oh boy, I sure love sending big artists a question with a typo in it, even though I proofread it multiple times. XP

Go check out @xxtc-96xx . Their stuff is cool. XP

[pundertalefan]

The verdict is out! So it's now official. I give you...

The ship name was chosen through a Tumblr poll. Thank you to everyone who voted! It means a lot to see anyone care at all about my silly little crackship. Rest assured, there is no guarantee of when, but fanart will DEFINITELY be coming.

And if anybody else wants to draw fanart or do animations, go ahead! It's not like they're MY characters.

Oh Lord, what if @gooseworx or Toby Fox sees this. XD
