The Amazing Digital Circus: Observations About the Classroom Seating Arrangement

Taken from a post I made from Reddit! Spoilers for Episode 5 of The Amazing Digital Circus!

As someone with serious self-esteem issues, Gangle probably doesn't see herself as the main character. When she was thrown into a position of power as the fast food manager, she broke down, so she probably wanted to avoid that.

However, Zooble has been one of the cornerstones of Gangle's mental health. Whenever she has a problem, Zooble has been there to help out and take care of her. Which is why Zooble gets the protagonist seat. Because Zooble is Gangle's "protagonist".

But honestly, the positions and roles of the others are also insights to Gangle's friendships. All characters besides Zooble are not neighboring her, showing her feeling of distance towards the others. Both Jax and Ragatha are in the front because she doesn't trust either of them, and by being in the front, there's less interactions than those in the back. Which is pretty interesting because Pomni is also in the back, showing that, while a seat away and having some distance, Gangle still has an opening for Pomni to "slide on in" and be friends.

However, it's interesting that Kinger is a teacher. Sure, you could say that Kinger is oldest, so he gets the teacher role, but I think there's another reason. She probably sees Kinger as an observer. Someone who she's very detached from as you barely see Kinger or Gangle interact with each other. At least, that's what it seems from current material.

Putting on the theory hat, I feel like Gangle didn't put Kinger into the teacher's seat for wisdom or knowledge sakes. Instead, Kinger was put into the teacher's seat because he's a cornerstone of the circus. He's been there the longest, and he is quite a sweet father figure to others. Compared to everyone else, Kinger is stable in his instability, and Gangle knows that, whatever he does, it's expected that he'll say some off-the-wall stuff. However, he won't ever intentionally be cruel or be pretending to be someone he's not, contrasted to Jax or Ragatha.

Anyway, it's really interesting how they're seated since it shows the connections between Gangle and the rest of the cast!

Recent spoilers for Pokémon Horizons in the Read More below!

I felt like the ending for the first arc was rushed, but man! They're starting strong in the second arc. The loss of Friede impacting the Rising Volt Tacklers into disbanding and how they grown is really amazing.

With Roy, his character went through a huge change. He's now reflecting Friede's personality and a bit of his looks, trying to act more cautious and smart. He's still Roy, but way less impulsive. And the fact that his goal is still the same but with different circumstances is also really cool. In arc one, he wanted to find Rayquaza. In arc two, he wants to find Rayquaza. But instead of Arc 1 Roy wanting to battle and capture Rayquaza, Arc 2 Roy is trying to find Rayquaza so he can have a strong ally against the Explorers. It's just a neat contrast!

Dot's character isn't changed too much at a glance. She's still on her computer being the researcher and using her skills to get more information. She's still shy when it comes to others being affectionate with her. However, seems we'll be getting more of Dot in the future.

And Liko. Poor Liko. She definitely has a some survivor's guilt and depression with her burying her feelings and not really contacting others. Anne even states she "had a cloud over her over the year", and yet she wasn't trying to be open about it. Liko even stops Anne from protecting the Rising Volt Tacklers when misinformation was spread, reflecting how much doubt she held with herself. I know Roy's battle with her helped her regain some confidence in herself in "she wasn't just standing around", but it's just a spark. Once she's back exploring, she'll just have more emotions she'll be hiding away and not working through. She really needs more support in the future episodes since she's definitely showing signs of depression, and just because she's out and about won't make those problems disappear.

Most of the time, her "healing" moments consists of finding out she's better than she thinks and feeling more connected with her Pokémon, but I feel like that might stop working sooner or later. And with the Rising Volt Tacklers being made enemies, I worry about others who will start antagonizing Liko just for being part of the group. So far, she's always been careful to avoid unnecessary conflict, even stopping others from causing problems. But once she starts getting called out by random people or even antagonized by them, I feel like that might break her down further. She's usually a gentle soul, and even with her passionate moments, she holds a tenderness within her battles even when going all out. How would she handle being antagonized just by affiliation of a group? We already saw how Roy was getting stink eyes and murmurs from surrounding school members. It's insinuated that Liko managed to calm them down off-screen (probably with help from Anne), but that's because she was a senpai to some of them and knew them a bit better. But imagining how it will be once she begins getting hated by random strangers, I worry about what her character arc will entail in the future.

Final notes. I love that we have an annoying rival brat contrasting against Roy's newfound immaturity. Meowscarada is adorable, and I really look forward to the magic battles that will occur with her. It makes me sad that Cap holds Friede's goggles around his body as a memento. And I wonder if Friede was captured by Spinel since the time skip or if he's still lost. I'm excited to see what will happen in this next arc!

so if you don’t know what shifting is, a quick explanation is that it’s the idea that the multiverse exists and that you can transport your soul into a multiverse where your favorite characters are real. It’s a whole thing and was hugely popular on TikTok in 2020+2021.

Anyway I am Not judging anyone or even about to comment on shifting in itself.

But there’s also a concept that you can “script” the universe you shift to and even pick your appearance while you’re there.

And in late 2021 I posted a cosplay video that got a fair amount of views and people kept tagging each other in the comments and saying stuff like “I’m faceclaiming her for next time I shift.”

Which I swear did not bother me I was like okay you funky kids.

But two people specifically started taking about using my face when they shift universes to date Draco Malfoy. And I was like man. Don’t use my face to kiss Draco Malfoy. Im begging you.

I didn’t actually say that in the comments mind you I just let them be.

So anyway a few months ago someone posted a video discussing that they were one of the main shifting influencers and they faked everything and they were just lucid dreaming the entire time. So as you can imagine, shifters were very upset to hear this

I made a single comment about this situation. Maybe two sentences. And people are. Very angry.

And now for months I keep getting comments on my TikToks that I’m too ugly to date Draco Malfoy. This is considered the ultimate insult to them, I believe.

“Trust me. Nobody wants that face dating Draco.”

They’re also mostly running K-Pop fancam accounts and I’m trying to figure out the Draco Malfoy K-Pop link but so far I’ve got nothing.

Idk where I’m going with this I just felt like other people should know that I’m currently K-Pop Draco Malfoy’s number 1 enemy.

Looked at the polls and it's over 80% smash on two of them and over 90% on one asking "would?". So yeah, Tumblr's being normal about him. :>

I'm gonna search the tags for AZ from Pokémon. Let's see if Tumblr is normal about him.

Imagine being pit against Primal Dialga as the first boss. Couldn't be me.

You, a human, have to fight a PMD character. No prep time. No weapons. Spin this wheel to see who you're up against
