Happy yuri day! This came to me in a vision as soon as I saw what they were wearing in that bar scene.

[veerian]

Oh no, we can't have Jax pulling off the maid uniform alone. So here's my try in re designing the maid uniform for all the members of the Digital Circus.

[veerian]

Oh damn, they did RAGATHANIZATION🥀

[veerian]

I want to talk about what I feel is another fascinating insight to Jax’s character and his views on friendship

His whole dynamic with Gangle up until this point just screamed “Bully and his victim”. Save for ep 4 where Gangle got the chance to turn the tables on him for a while and even she didn’t exactly like who she became in the end because of the mask.

Jax saw Gangle as an easy target for ridicule and abuse because she doesn’t really stand up for herself, neither physically nor verbally.

And he likes this relationship, he even says it himself

“I like you better when you’re sad”

For him, It’s all about control. He feels better when he’s in control. And hates it when things are out of his control. So if he can control her, then she’ll go along with everything he wants to do

If he wants a mad max chase scene, then the driver will steer their truck into danger

If he wants to see which is the scary door, then his ghost hunting part will let him throw her mask as a test

If he wants to throw his coworker into a deep fryer, then his shift manager will let him except she won’t cuz she’s different now oops never mind now there goes his fun

He wants to play safari hunter, then the red ribbon rhinoceros will let herself get shot and mauled

Jax kinda needs Gangle to play along or else he doesn’t get to have his fun

Like a kid who thinks shooting arrows at an apple sitting on top of his friend’s head is gonna be really cool now stop shaking already and hold still or you’ll make me miss

So now we get to the point where Jax notices how Gangle seems to be visibly having a pleasant time being around Zooble

And why he suddenly seems interested in this I think has to do with him feeling that shift in dynamic between them that he oh so hates

See, Jax isn’t used to Zooble participating in the adventures, and now they’re not just sharing in just one adventure but a whole string of them. And Zooble is not the kind to let him get away with shit. And unlike Ragatha who’s too much of a people pleaser to really do anything more than scold him for his antics, Zooble’s not afraid to make Jax try a taste of his own bitter medicine.

Even when he’s doing small things like being annoying, Zooble doesn’t really give him the satisfaction of a reaction because they know what he is, a shit stirrer.

But more than that, he sees just how friendly Zooble is with Gangle when they’re together, how close they actually are

This is a threat to his status quo, and he can’t help but comment on it because in his eyes, Gangle can never really get better because of the fact that her mask will always break. She will always get sad, but here she’s happy regardless, because being around Zooble makes her happy

Jax has a habit of assuming he knows a person’s true intentions. He wants to believe people have ulterior motives out of projection. But Zooble is not aiming to “magically fix” Gangle, nor is Gangle wishing for Zooble to “magically fix” her

They really are just enjoying each other’s company. And this annoys him.

This line is what really gave me pause tho

It’s incredible how serious he’s being here when he says this, because it’s a whole other level of delusion on his part to believe that Gangle enjoys being bullied by him just because, from his perspective, she lets him do it

That’s like, a dangerous way of looking at how you think your friends want to be treated

And Pomni seems to be more baffled at the notion that Jax would even take a moment to consider how other people feel when all of his actions have been frankly inconsiderate (this is why she’s always suspicious when he apologizes or casually asks how she’s doing)

And we get his first real moment of vulnerability, because to say yes would mean having to take responsibility of his previous actions and think about how he’s treated others

To say he does actually care, would mean he would have to admit that he wants others to like being around him

Pomni clocks right away that what Jax craves is company, it’s why he’s always seeking the opinions of others

And it makes me wonder if he would have even given a sincere answer here since he’s shown time and time again that when asked directly about anything personal, he’d prefer to lie or deflect

It’s hilarious how much this dumbass is more like Ragatha than he realizes

Gangle was the closest thing he had to a companion during the adventures after Ribbit, and now he sees that the closer she gets to Zooble, the further she gets from him

Jax acts like a jerk and he likes being a jerk and he wants to have someone to like his jerky self, or at the very least someone who sticks around with him and not make him feel like he needs to change his jerky self

If he thinks that telling someone they’re loved all the time loses all meaning, does he believe that being awful to someone will lose all of its meaning?

Because I hate to break it to ya buddy, that’s not how it works

lol, sorry I had to

ragatha are you a woman kisser

[veerian]

Oh. My. God.

Mod Bee... THANK YOU, YOU SAID LITERALLY EVERYTHING THAT WAS GOING THROUGH MY MIND ( and better than I could ever do too! )

No like, srs, ragatha, and tbh, most all character abstracting at this point, specially just right after we get to know that she was abused, feels like it would be complete shot in the show's message and honestly? A waste of good characters that still have so much to give.

Honestly, being maybe a little too transparent than I'd like to be on the internet, I deeply, DEEPLY relate to her as character, it's a even little scary to see some very specific behaviors of mine been shown so... Clearly? It's great and awful at the same time, specially when I feel like I'm going through something specifically similar as to what happened this last episode.

And. Yes. I would be heartbroken if she were to abstract or have any "fate worse than death" Thing going on. And not heartbroken in the sense that blorbo got killed off... But... In the sense that I think that I personally would feel a little hopeless for myself. Wow, oversharing much right? And ofc, I'd be fine, I'm an adult that goes to therapy and is surrounded by lovely, lovely people, but yeah, getting that fucking message from my favorite show would hurt as bitch. And for what? Not much that I can imagine at this point.

I trust glitch, their writers and gooseworx with whatever they decide to go, not to do the things I want from the show, cause I can always just write fics, but to really entertain, amaze and make us feel all sorts of things with their creations. And yeah, if she were to abstract, I'm pretty sure it would be for a VERY good reason, but I can't see it right now.

ragatha is NOT abstracting* and i will bury myself six foot under that hill

* well , i don't think she'll FULLY abstract . _____

i know this may be shocking coming from Me , the ragatha angst enjoyer , who made an entire au where she's having a bad day 24/7 . i truly , do not believe that ragatha's going to get killed off . just . hear me out . sit down on this chair .

it's not even that she's my favorite character and i don't want her to die . the opposite , actually , i eat ragatha abstraction fanfics up . my problems are more ... well , it lies more on the writing .

first of all , let's remember what tadc is for a second ; it's a tonally hopeful show with messages about community and not being truly alone . even in episode 5 , where ragatha Goes Through It , it has a glimmer of hope through jax — where he finds a friend in pomni .

it's why i truly believe she'll have some form of positive development , because if Jax , the character that gooseworx said who's Most deserved to be stuck in the circus , can be happy ... then why couldn't ragatha ?

also . i Love assholes with repressed trauma as much as the next guy , but it'll be weird to make the guy who's been antagonistic to most of the cast thus far find more happiness than ..... the clearly-traumatized woman ...........

when you write a story with mentally ill characters and a hopeful message ... what does it say when you kill off one of them ? what does it say to the audience that relates to that character ? here's a hint — stuff that i would find IFFY to put in your show .

obviously , you can do literally anything as a writer , but picture this ; imagine setting up a character like ragatha . someone who has gone through abuse and a lot of trauma . desperate for a community to the point she grasps for any scraps of validation she gets . you put her in a show where every character find some form of hope in the situation they're in . she has shown herself to harbor some form of self-loathing .

by that point , you should see my problem with killing her off . once more : if she dies , what does it say to the audience who relates to that character ?

and now for my next question — what would it add to the show ? what message does it send and how does it add to the theme ? because ... any of the answers to those questions i can think of are NOT good answers considering the last paragraphs .

" it'll show that people truly cares even when you're gone " we'll have episode 2 again , but this time at the cost of a character we've gotten to know for the last five episodes . it'll make ragatha's time in the show a Total Waste . like cool , all she's been set up for the last five episodes is to Die ...

i sure do hope we don't have another dead character who tells the same message of people caring about you when you're gone and also had an entire funeral scene which will make all of this build-up so redundant — oh wait his name is kaufmo .

at that point you could just remove her and put kaufmo in her place , because it's just the Same Message being told . it'll be impactful to see a main character dying ... if that character isn't going to essentially make all of their scenes redundant in hindsight .

" it'll give the cast character development " but not ragatha ?? i will be real with you i will be so Mad if ragatha gets killed off as a catalyst for jax to have an epiphany or character development . like genuinely that would make me instantly drop the show , do Not get me started .

even then , the thing that's going on with ragatha thus far is her thinking nobody cares for her despite that it's the Opposite . by giving the other characters development instead of her in Her Own Arc is Terrible Writing and i'm not going to budge on that .

" it'll mark a tonal shift " an answer i'm slightly okay with , but let's take the above paragraphs again — it'll be iffy nonetheless . do i Love the idea of an unsatisfying character arc where it suddenly ends , therefore breaking the formula that's been set since the beginning ? yes ! would i love it in this specific case considering the context of the show and its themes ? very much Not !

i know these arguments are more of an opinionated , ' think of how that'll work into the story ' rather than actual proof , but when it comes to making predictions , the tadc fandom doesn't really stop and think about how it adds to a character or story beyond It'll Be Shocking . for this theory specifically , i can't see a Good narrative reason to kill off ragatha without stepping on at least one land mine . as someone familiar with writing stories with mentally ill characters — it'll get Weird quick !

do i accept that there could be a Tiny possibility that ragatha Does abstract ? absolutely . i do trust gooseworx's ability as a writer enough to Maybe make this sting less when it actually does happen , but i'll very much criticize it .

so ! i don't think she Wouldn't abstract 100% though . because by this point it's inevitable that she'll sink into the darkness in some way . keep in mind that Barely Anything goes right for this girl . i don't think she'll die , but a very public mental breakdown is inevitable . at most , i see a fake-out abstraction . you know . one where she gets pulled out of it at the last second . just to scare the fans .

personally , do you know what would be more impactful than a death ? a character that fully believes she'll die alone and unloved being proven Wrong . episode 5 has shown how the other characters Care for her . imagine her spiraling and thinking that nobody cares if she abstracts , only to realize that there are people by her side . shit that would actually make me cry , i'm not gonna lie .

she will get a BIG group hug and she'll cry and i would also cry and we crew and we crode and i don't know maybe i'll be wrong Shrugs let's see this post age like milk LOL
