"I thought Caine couldn't..."

THIS MOMENT RIGHT HERE

I don't wanna jump the gun just yet and call this foreshadowing, this was clearly played off for the lolz, but I have a nagging feeling this is implying something much, much darker

It's clear that Jax said the part about the egg white* involuntarily, since he doesn't want to play this vegan bit whatsoever. But his sentence at the end; "I thought Caine couldn't..."

"... control us"??

Imagine that. They're trapped against their will, they can never go home, they're forced into stressful and scary adventures every day, but at the very least they still have free will. At least they can choose what they say and do (puppeteer employee re-evaluations aside)

Only, they can't. That can be taken away from them as well.

And Zooble knew it.

Remember this brief convo in the previous episode;

"The only thing holding Caine back is the fact that he likes us. I wouldn't push it."

ZOOBLE KNOWS SOMETHING.

Most likely they may just be wiser and/or more perceptive than most, fully comprehending the scope of Caine's powers in the circus and knowing that they're all hanging on by the threads that Caine is clutching. Or, possibly, they may have been witness to this "punishment" they mention. This may be the real reason they never go on adventures. Not cuz they just can't be fucked (tho probably true) but because they figure "If I don't do anything, I can't do anything wrong/worth punishing"

They know what Caine is capable of, and how it can be weaponized. In that sense, they were actually very forgiving to only ask for Jax to be vegan for the day as punishment for pretending to eat Gangle. I think between episode 4 & 5 we're seeing Jax come to that realization as well. It's clear that in his own way, he trusted Caine wouldn't hurt him or force him to do anything against his will, and was proven wrong twice.

Like I said, this might be foreshadowing for something later on, it might just be subtext you're meant to stew over as I have. Either way, its clear that Caine has greater capacity for evil, or at least immense harm, than most of them realize.

*also, since when do whiskey sours have egg whites?? I looked it up thinking it was a joke, but no, this is a cocktail with egg in it, wtf. Tho technically, according to google if it has an egg white it's a Boston sour, but same diff

I never understood why writers wanted their favorite characters to suffer. Then I met Caine

I want to see him lose it BIG TIME

[realifezompire]

Criminal how little content there is for Gangle and Zooble...

I'm desperate for a new fan song or literally anything

[realifezompire]

They are soulmates, your honor 😌

THEY MAKE ME EMOTIONAL

Jax repeatedly saying he wants to sleep only to be forced to do activities is so me fr

After this episode I don’t think you can really blame Ragatha for being a people pleaser when twice she tries to be better than that and everyone just judges her for it like. At that point the problem really is everyone else. Jax derides Ragatha for not being honest about her frustration but when she is he still derides her anyhow. And if she isn’t being treated any differently why should Ragatha care about what others are saying???

Likewise it’s annoying seeing people infantilize Jax’s shitty behavior because OH he’s trapped in the circus and someone he knew got abstracted like. Bitch he’s not special so did everyone else. Zooble is also off-putting and negative but she makes a point to mind her own business and is nice even when the other person hadn’t initiated it towards her first.

Jax is going out of his way to be a gleefully malicious asshole, incessantly. And then has the gall to be offended at Ragatha for accidentally bringing up his issues, and is only nice when someone is nice to him. But in the end his lack of friends is 100% his fault. People have a right to be upset with him! Why is the onus on everyone to be patient with Jax, and not Jax to have basic restraint for once??? He talks such hot shit but can’t even take a single hit.

And like I love Pomni but the third episode already made a point that she DID make Ragatha feel excluded, it was a thing she apologized for, and Kinger’s framing puts Pomni’s neglect as the worst thing anyone could do; Not Ragatha being a bit overbearing.

So with that in mind it’s not out of the question to say that Pomni is doing the same for Ragatha. I’m not saying she’s maliciously, intentionally choosing Jax over Ragatha. But if Ragatha is considered by the fandom to still be responsible for how she makes others feel regardless of intent, doesn’t the same apply to Pomni?

Again she’s frustrated with Ragatha for infantilizing her but in the end she (or at least the narrative) kinda infantilizes Jax with her willingness to be more sympathetic and friendly because he’s actually just sad and lonely inside and doesn’t know better. Rather than being a grown-ass man people have made explicit to him that they’ve been upset by.

She’s put off by Ragatha coming across as being dishonest due to her fear of upsetting people, but instead of being up front to Ragatha about wanting to get through to Jax and needing someone to give her time to do so, Pomni lies about doing this for Ragatha, to give Ragatha a chance to redeem herself; Presumably because she’s afraid of upsetting Ragatha. Meaning she knows how this comes across and still does it.

I’ve seen some argue that it’s the other way around but I dunno. In the end Pomni doesn’t spare a passing glance to Ragatha afterwards or even remember to invite her. And it’s a flaw we’ve seen before so it’s not out of the question that it’s her same flaw at the root of this scene, and not just Ragatha’s insecurity making her perceive it that way.

Pomni admits that she wasn’t there for Ragatha but in the end she’s not really trying to stand up for Ragatha when Jax continues to both be an asshole and act as if Ragatha is the one who crossed a line. Maybe her goal is to talk Jax into being nice enough to apologize to Ragatha himself but given she lied to Ragatha about her intentions it feels almost a little knowingly insincere.

Sorry not sorry but fandom has always been way too forgiving towards male characters for being utterly terrible, while giving female characters so much flak for being even a bit flawed. The fact that people can even feel sorry for Jax’s “trauma” as if he isn’t constantly verbally abusing everyone around him is ridiculous. While they act as if Ragatha’s loneliness is a proportional consequence to being a bit needy; Like her efforts to be kind are just so inherently purely evil and hurtful. Jax and Ragatha are both traumatized but in Ragatha’s case she’s at least trying to avoid being an asshole about it and I just don’t buy the excuse that Jax has a “different coping method” like that’s what every shitty abusive man has said.

It’s absurd that everyone is talking hot shit about how Jax needs kindness when he’s the one who should be told that others need kindness. It’s absurd how people saw Kinger describe what Pomni did to Ragatha as Pomni explicitly makes it clear to us that Ragatha is the one being left out. And yet people will say Jax is the poor baby feeling left out as if his constant harassment isn’t what’s making people feel isolated. Gooseworx has even said that Jax deserves to be in the circus the most out of anyone. Like technically it shouldn’t happen to anyone but I’m gonna be real here sometimes there are basic consequences to one’s intentional actions. There comes a point where people do not fucking owe you shit!!!
