Twitter would like her a lot more if she were really like this canonically. There’s so much nothing going on with Ragatha that they latched on to her one moment of toxicity like a hanger.

Pros:
>Very few responsibilities
>Can go on cool quests and if you suck up to Caine you might be able to influence them a bit, get to see a lot of neat stuff
>Have a group of interesting people that will survival bond with you if you aren’t a complete fuckhead. Potential community.
>Don’t age or get sick or whatever

Cons:
>No phone, no internet, no vidya, no anime, no music, no books, the circus and what you make of it is your only source of entertainment
>Potential bad body roll
>Religious implications
>Lose everyone and everything you had outside
>Unsure of if/when the thing will collapse and if that’s permanent deletion
>Abstraction risk, which is ongoing torment, and you risk losing people around you that you care about
>Caine takes your agency away, there’s not that much “I don’t feel like it” have to be up for whatever it is
>Monsters and fear facing regularly (you afraid of heights? The ocean depths? Spiders? Eventually you’ll face it all)

There’s a specific kind of person who could thrive in that but it’s not the perfect wish fulfillment isekai scenario you’re thinking.

People hated Jax after episode 2 and I didn’t understand that either. What is wrong with people?

>>149251407
I dig through both tumblr and twitter regularly for art and its rare to see Ragatha hate. Its just baiting here because the waifu anons are easy to get a rise out of.

>>149251417
With photos?

>>149251432
I haven’t seen much rising here either, just bait.

>>149251432
Waifu anons are too reactionary. All things considered, being “evil all along” would put some intrigue in her character so long as they don’t Belwether it up

>>149251462
And this is why you’ll abstract, you boring buffoon

>>149251275 (OP)
People who turned on Ragatha did so because they think 'toxic positivity' is a thing.

Yes, it can be annoying to deal with an unwavering optimist in a grim situation.
no, they are not trying to manipulate and gaslight you or whatever psychology word tumblr and twitter are devaluing these days.
Odds are they're doing it for their own mental well-being as much as they are for yours, if not more-so.

>>149251480
What if it turned out she had a cluster b personality disorder all along? Would that be ok, you Ragatha simp?

>>149251483
Correct. Ragatha isn’t a manipulator.

>>149251440
Videos too

>>149251488
Wouldn’t be consistent with her portrayal, so no.

>>149251483
She’s only being positive so her mind doesn’t shatter, but that’s not a good thing. She’s indirectly pushing everyone away and making life so much harder for herself by putting on a happy face all the time. Let’s go, abstraction, etc.

>>149251502
Do you just want her to be straight up aspirational? Like Superman?

>>149251510
>Superman
Not at all, her issues are trauma based external validation seeking behaviors, and ultimately not loving herself. Both can be worked through.

>>149251275 (OP)

>>149251533
That image was just so bizarre to me. It’s like watching two complete strangers have a heated interaction, and some caricature artist compares one to the devil and the other to an innocent baby then telling me “THIS IS WHAT TWITTER THINKS”. Like, who is saying this on twitter? Where? Why?

>>149251483

This fucking tumblr, shit

>>149251579
I mean, somebody will...

>>149251275 (OP)
I have an idea that Zooble in one of the future episodes has finally pushed Caine to his limit and he does something to her, as a way of Punishment, that will lead to Gangle to Abstract because she lost her only true Friend.

But the one that will surely suffer the most next episode will be Ragatha.

>>149251622
Ragatha’s in for a bit more of the hot seat, but the climax will be her recovery.

>>149251608
Are you somebody anon?

>>149251628
I hope it dosen't, that will be refreshing and not the Cliche.

>>149251634
Nah the cliche would be the kill her for dramabait because her problem is not as cookie cutter as the others.

>>149251633
No

>>149251646
I mean, Most of the Twitter/Bluesky Assholes expect what you Said.
Instead of continuing this inversion of Jax and Ragatha as polar opposites, but ultimately showing that neither was genuinely good.

As stated before:

>>149251681

They are more similar than what appears, but that doesn’t necessitate a condemnation and narrative execution.

Ragatha is Shinji Ikari
Jax is Asuka Langley Soryu

>>149251712
No

>>149251687
Could, Ragatha show how manupulative and Possessive she actually is, becoming ironically her mom.

And Jax could literally be anything.
But Trust me, someone will Become an Abstract monster or perish.

And i will enjoy the Tears of those Fuckers in Twitter/Bluesky.

Come to think of it, which character is low-maintenance when it comes to keeping their minds busy and content despite being stuck in a digital purgatory forever?
Gangle may be a depressed mess, but all she ever needs is a sketch pad to scribble in and being kept away from reminders of her past wageslave life where drawing shit was out of the question.

Could be.

She's shown a very jealous attitude that Jax might take Pomni away from her, whom she projects onto and fears will become like him.

Something that Jax himself hilariously denies by telling her that he isn't telling her anything.
(Which is true)
For her to then make such a big projection about Jax, believe me, all her language has made it clear that she wanted to keep Pomni away from Jax at all costs, failing miserably in the end.

This is already a sign of someone possessive, and it would be deliciously ironic if it were so. Even the show's creator only responded with a "Heh..." when asked on Tumblr if Ragatha would be okay in the next episode.
(Which translates to a No)

>>149251804
Just Hope this Dosen't end like a Fucking Steven universe shit.

https://youtu.be/DNXs18_IJy8?si=8h-dMG61JYv8CyrN

>>149251275 (OP)
Ragatha is mostly toxic to herself. But the reaction of people to her having one justifiable emotional outburst is literally why she doesn't express her self at all and has the fake persona.

It's OK to be upset like she was, that's a normal part of being human, the massive rejection of her for this one act is bizzare

>>149251804
>She's shown a very jealous attitude
Maybe? She didn’t seem very jealous of gummigoo in episode 2 or kinger in episode 3 or anything. The outlier is Jax, whom she “hates”. It stands to reason then that Jax is the issue, not Pomni having friends.
>whom she projects onto
No idea what you mean by this.
>and fears will become like him.
This part is likely true.
>Which is true
False, Jax specifically pushed Ragatha’s buttons over it in the bar, and he was potentially already creating distance at the top of episode 5 while badmouthing Ragatha.
>For her to then make such a big projection about Jax, believe me, all her language has made it clear that she wanted to keep Pomni away from Jax at all costs, failing miserably in the end.
True.
>This is already a sign of someone possessive
I would use the term protective, and also practical, another Jax would be bad for her opinion on how to conduct oneself in the circus. We are also missing a MASSIVE piece of the puzzle which is what exactly happened to Ribbit.
>Which translates to a No
Of course she won’t be okay, she was left not okay on a cliffhanger, it’s gonna get worse before it gets better.

My interpretation is she views proximity to Jax as dangerous, and Pomni is throwing off the balance between her and Jax’s apparently opposite approaches to surviving in the circus. I don’t see manipulation or extreme possessiveness, but a girl looking out for everyone else at the expense of herself—kind of her whole thing. Does that mean her behavior is good? No it’s killing her, but it isn’t coming from a bad place, nor does it risk being anything other than mildly annoying to others.

>>149251423
have you met people?
90% of adults live in a fantasy where they extrapolate wildly from any negative input with someone

a month ago someone was screaming in a car park. not at anyone, they were just yelling and screaming. I have no idea why, i have no idea what has happened to them, i can't judge them for that. He was nowhere near anyone,

by the time i had walked to my car two men had tackled him and started beating the shit out of him. I had to wait for police and tell them what I saw. These men had never met him, but because he was screaming they decided he was dangerous and had to take him down so he couldn't hurt anyone. he was psychotic, and crazy people can't be allowed in public

The guy just found out his mother died of cancer over the phone. those two men saw him screaming and sprinted across the car park to attack him over their own imaginations

>>149251804
>>149251804
>when asked on Tumblr if Ragatha would be okay in the next episode.
>(Which translates to a No)

when have the characters actually been ok?
Gangle literally killed herself in episode 4, Jax was tortured, Ragatha got drunk and accidentally told people her true, awful feelings.

All of these characters need to stop pretending they are OK, Pomni is the only one not pretending to be OK with the situation and that's why the others are opening up to her

>>149251931
Predictive instinct can be a matter of life and death. That’s an unfortunate anecdote, but the act itself wasn’t without merit.

>>149251483
Guys, the episode spelled out what's wrong with her; she's trying to be the opposite of her mother. Her mother was abusively critical and emotional neglectful, so she's overly positive and heaps praise on people. The problem is that it's not actually genuine because she's desperately seeking validation and praise for herself, she's just not aware of it. She's desperate to surround herself with people that will give her the love she didn't have and craves positive attention so badly that she reacts with hostility and mania if she experiences negativity, even if she's misreading it. Basically, Pomni warming to jax isn't jax's fault and it's not even ragatha's fault. It's her neurosis' fault for making her believe that she failed to make pomni like her and that she lost to jax.
No one hates ragatha, except ragatha.

>>149251622
pic related made me think the first 2 had it rough outside, and failed to move past it, second 2 had a real easy time, but flubbed it and failed, leading them to the same place.
and kinger overcame a shit time, then losing his wife sent him to a real dark place.

>>149251953
she didnt kill herself stop pushing this

>>149251918
> Because Gummigoo Is not a Real Human, but an Insignificant NPC

>When she says that Jax behaves like a Saint when in reality only annoys everyone.

>Well, is Jax, he enjoy to Pushes Raghata all the Time, you should be a Blind fuck to not noticing that.

>And being Protective like that is like an Obssesion.

>My interpretation is she views proximity to Jax as dangerous, and Pomni is throwing off the balance between her and Jax’s apparently opposite approaches to surviving in the circus.

That's basically what's going to happen, and i hope There's no a Good Steven-universe like Ending for this.

That will liven things up.

>>149251275 (OP)
One thing's for certain: she looks good in that dress.

>>149251979
The revealing moment for the person she wants to be was in episode 4. She saw the gloink queen had named all 300 of her spawn and loved each and every one of them individually. Ragatha’s conscious mind wants to be the group mom, giving others what she never got. But, underneath it all, she’s still that scared little girl that was taught to feel worthless. Her inner needs are for someone to give her what she never got at home, love.

>>149252014
Steven Universe doesn’t have a monopoly on sincerity.

I honestly think that Ragatha's fate is going to depend a lot on whether she finally stops treating Pomni like a child, the fact that she treats her like a child is one of the biggest things that makes it impossible for a deep friendship to form between the two of them.

>>149251622
To anyone overthinking this; that chess piece hitting kinger is a rook, not a queen. Sorry if that hurts any subliminal messages.

>>149252034
Yeah I can agree with that. I don’t think it’s malicious but her mothering behavior prevents a true give and take relationship.

>>149252034
Imagine if there was an adventure where half the cast turns into babies and need to be taken care of by the other half and Pomni is still wearing the diaper when she turns back

>>149252034
It’s super weird. Pic related would be like a guy trying to play poker and some asshole sat on his side waving his pee pee around

>>149251953
How foolish to think Pomni does it for others. She only does it for her own good and the sake of her sanity.
As seen in Episode 2, where if it weren't for her discovering that she needs affection to keep from going crazy, she would have become detached.
(As a note: If there's one detail I liked, it's that whenever a human abstracts, they have to hold the funeral behind Caine's back because if he were to find out, he'd ruin everything by seeing them sad and send them on an adventure to make them happy, because he's an AI. I'm sure you know this because it's happened several times already.)

If it weren't for being trapped in the Circus, she would have distanced herself from them like anyone else.

>>149252056
Wat

The fandom is retarded. Jax deserves everything awful that happens to him.

>>149252038
I knew that, but who’s the rook? the NPC looking motherfucker at the end of ep 5? A traitor?

>>149252068
Trvke

>>149252038
Well, is still a Black Chess piece, and this ones can destroy the King.

>>149252061
Terrible read on the character, and on humans in general.

Asking this again but here because this seems to be the actual, active thread. >>149251851

>>149252025
But in Faggority.

Exactly what happended in God of War Ragnarok as one of Many examples

>>149252062
She’s making eye contact with her tits and getting sick of her shit. I’m thinking of what the male equivalent would be like so I can imagine her disgust

>>149252091
The entire show has been about exploring and mending broken people, I’m gonna bet on consistency over a curveball.

>>149252083
Only an exemplary Soul would fall into the idea you have of Pomni, Maybe that's true or maybe he only does it for his own good.

>>149252089
The edgy has to be safe in some areas so the show can exist. Plus, he must enjoy the nonsensical as much as the edginess I imagine

>>149252102
No, Remember, Not everything that is Broken can be mended.

Just like Jax, who, and I quote Gooseworx's exact words:

"The one who most deserves to be trapped in the circus forever is Jax."

>>149252103
Characters tend to be extraordinary, especially main characters. Outside of her fear response in episode 1 driving her actions, she’s consistently been reaching out to the others, to the point of putting in time and effort for the feelings of a being she objectively knew wasn’t a real person.

>>149252121
>Not everything that is Broken can be mended
Not contradictory.
>"The one who most deserves to be trapped in the circus forever is Jax."
He also happens to be the character I find at the greatest risk of abstraction.

>>149252121
Yes but everything mended can be broken

>"The one who most deserves to be trapped in the circus forever is Jax."
He’s going to live and escape, and take Pomni kicking and screaming with him. Can’t wait

>>149252129
And like I said, simply because she has no choice.
Either she seeks to maintain a sane mind in the company of others, even if they are deplorable people, or she goes crazy in despair and loneliness.

(Simply because she isn't strong-willed/minded or because she finds other ways to entertain herself, like Jax does by torturing others and enjoying the chaos in Caine's Adventures.)

>>149252156
I mean, like real life? Either be willing to engage with others or die alone?
And only a true goblin creature would think that personally wanting connection means that Pomni is acting selfishly. What she does for Gummigoo and Gangle isn’t selfish. Get real.

>>149251986
i think this is the better analysis of this scene desu

>>149252061
>How foolish to think Pomni does it for others.
she isn't doing anything for reasons, she is just being herself. The others have lost hope, and are putting on masks to cover it up.

>>149251275 (OP)
Explain (spoonfeed) this controversy to me, as someone who knows nothing about the show. I was under the impression that the purple rabbit thing was an asshole, or something.

>>149252121
>most deserves
so some of the others at least deserve to be there

>>149252142
Not everyone that is broke can always be Fixed, Just learn that by Watching Warhammer 40k.
Full of Bastards of ruined lives that you want to kill with your own hands like the Inquisitiors and the Sisters of Battle.

I don't think so. He'll probably have an antagonistic role later on, having already done irreparable damage to Ragatha.

Remember, he doesn't care. If he felt bad and didn't participate in Kaufmo's funeral, it wasn't because of the Clown, but because it reminded him of his only genuine friend, Ribbit.
He's like a Gumball without his side-kick Darwin.

(Kaufmo, as mentioned, was surely another victim of Jax's merciless bullying)

>>149252179
Asshole character has shown signs of having more depth than “is an asshole”, while at the same time the most friendly character got a sad backstory that recontextualizes her behavior a bit and she crashed out on asshole and a neutral third party.

>>149252178
Or she does that or Become abstract, She does simply because she dosen't have a Choose.

>>149252179
Ragatha showed something of an off-putting side in the last episode, while Jax showed a slightly more vulnerable and relatable side. OP's image is a mild exaggeration of some fans' reactions

>>149252196
Tbf, most fridndly character has nothing rlse going on and a lot of people on twumblr like to exaggerate

>>149252189
>Not everyone that is broke can always be Fixed
Repeating this doesn’t change the point. Ragatha’s problem is underexplored, and interesting, and the show has consistently gone out of its way to work with and through these things. I’m betting on the show to behave as itself.

>>149252211
Nothing else needs to be going on she’s as interesting as the rest.

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/9Btrh0S3RSc?feature=share

If you were in a bad adventure, which character would you want with you?

Gangle is useless in danger
Zooble is always useless
Pomni is fine to hang out with but unless you need to talk it out isn't actually useful
Ragatha isn't totally usesless
Kinger is great in the dark, but otherwise useless

Jax is the best companion

>>149252243
Jax would make the bad situation actively worse.

This is an Australian joke

>>149252243
“Bad” is too vague.

>>149252143
That's exactly what i mean, let's see how this Pussy Steven universes from Twitter Try to Redeem someone like Jax.

You can't just make peace with evil.

>>149252257
Oh are you kidding, the fanbase is so ready for it Goose had to remind them Jax is a bad guy.

>>149252225
It will only have 9 episodes, Everything will break down sooner or later.

And someone will be gone, you like it or not.

>>149252264
If you say so, I don’t see the utility in knocking off Ragatha at this point. Then again I’m not anticipating a climactic escape the circus ending or anything because that doesn’t align with what the show has tackled thusfar.

>>149252260
There's still a lot of Assholes (Especially on Twitter/Bluesky) who thinks that Jax is at least someone who cares about them.

Just like the Asshole that Blocked me.

>80% of the merchandise sales are Jax

Jax will abstract, and his unforgivable moment is pushing others away and giving up. He’s gonna go be with his frog friend in the cellar.

>>149252332
Which is why he’ll abstract.
>I could have saved hiiiiim he’s my precious bunny boy!
Cue ten billion plushies sold.

>>149252310
We want Jax to at least have a satisfying villain death.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=b3pMlKXAZWM&t=85s

>>149252336
Until the season finale when Pomni jumps into the cellar to save the day and convince everyone to maybe stop being so abstracted if it wouldn't be too much of a bother.

>>149252354
That will not happen

>>149252354
It turns out all they needed was hugs.

>>149252365
I want to hug Queenie

>>149252361
It'll be in the last three minutes of the episode, and then it'll cut to credits mid-sentence as Pomni says her oh so iconic catchphrase.

Schizo Theory: The sex joke in Episode 6 will involve "a FUCKING beach party" as Bubble puts it in Episode 5, and all of the characters especially Jax gets put in a really scantily clad swimsuits, and it's revealed that their slutty outfits was all Bubble's idea. The joke will probably end with Caine probably intervening and covering them all up. Here's my proof that this might be a possibility

1. Gooseworx warned us specifically about the sex joke in episode 6, when we've already had a few in 2, 4, and 5. I wonder special this one will be if we were given such a heads up so long back?
2. Gooseworx has stated something about the YouTube versions of the episodes having to be "censored" and I wonder if some saucy scenes will be part of it.
3. Gooseworx herself lamented about the possibility of sex existing in the Digital Circus
4. Bubble has shown record and confirmed by Gooseworx herself that he is the sluttiest character
5. It will probably match up with Gooseworx's sense of humor and it would be very funny and possibly mind break the underage zoomer fanbase.

Screenshot for prophecy, I unironically think I might be onto something. I know your tricks, Gooseworx.

>>149252385
Reasonable interpretation, but my guess is the beach party will be in the last episode.

>>149252385
I posted the wrong picture, oops. I was too focused on my top-notch theory crafting.

>>149252385
>>149252394
Oh I also forgot the 6h evidence being that little moments or jokes being later incorporated as plot points in future episodes. Examples: The softball shit in Episode 4 being a plot segment in 5, and the well uhh. You get the idea.

>>149252385
How much of this is you trying to manifest your favorite character in a skimpy swimsuit?

The sex joke is that Jax will brutally rape Ragatha until she abstracts.

>>149252418
Surprisingly, not as much as you'd think. But it would be pretty nice.

I get the feeling next episode is gonna have pomni truly realize how much of a piece of shit jax is because with how much gooseworx specifies that jax is a piece of shit, it makes me think their friendship won’t last long. in fact, I think the event that makes pomni realize this could be tied to ragatha’s abstraction

>>149252394
I hope the sex joke is Ragatha ass expansion as a reference to her fanon form.

>>149252420
She would secretly enjoy it too much for her to abstract. It would only happen if she got raped by a disgusting ugly bastard tier monster.

>>149252431
Jax is absolutely gonna cross a line and/or drop the ball.

>>149252431
Since next episode is guns I think Jax will shoot gummigoo or gummigoo’s mom

>>149252431
>>149252445
Schizo Theory: Guys, what if both Ragatha AND Jax abstract, possibly in the same episode? Maybe that's why Gooseworx had a history of preemptively apologizing to BunnyDoll shippers. She did also suggest that Ragatha and Jax will be the most "chaotic duo" in the series, so that's another bit of evidence. How would Jaxkeks recover?

>>149251275 (OP)
based

>>149252316
Nah, Gangle will be the one to abstract. She already almost abstracted once; what's stopping her from doing it again?

>>149252453
That would be the most based and funniest thing he'd ever do. Especially if it immediately results in her friendship with Pomni souring.

>>149252462
It’s possible but kinda lame.

>>149252468
I’m only half kidding, it’s the most unforgivable thing I could see him doing. To him he’s just playing around but Pomni sees a fucking monster lol

>>149252445
I’m personally imagining sometime after ragatha abstracts, they’re holding a funeral for her and everyone’s feeling like shit, wondering why it happened and how this could have been avoided and then jax just comes in asking if this is really necessary since nobody even liked her, really just shitting on her

>>149252480
That would definitely be unforgivable.

>>149252453
>What? You were laughing when I attacked myself, how is this any different?
>*Pomni starts strangling Jax to death*

It’s fucking Kinger.

>>149252497
That is actually a good point, pomni seems to be fine with jax’s stuff until it personally effects her, even voting against the maid outfit and doing nothing when he tried attacking gangle for it

>>149252385
the sex joke is that Jax is going to make innuendo about his gun
and how it shoots blanks

>>149252519
Safest guess is Zooble saying he’s compensating

>>149251483
This generation can’t grasp the fact that some people simply doesn’t like being mean

The sex joke is an uninterrupted 20 minute uncut POV sex scene between the viewer and the female cast.

>>149252557
Gooseworx will have my respect if she does this

>>149252007
Nta but she totally did. It makes no sense otherwise when she returns back to the group even more depressed than before. If she was dancing out of a total rejection of her troubles there would have been some carry over. Instead however the events have her almost abstract by having a disassociate episode in the kitchen, she is interupted by pomni which briefly breaks her out of it, she goes home distressed, then she practically throws herself into the road with her eyes closed and a smile like that of release before getting hit by a truck before teleporting back to the circus to find out she survived leading to an emotional break down. The whole point of the ending was to show how there is no release from the circus and how if you won't abstract you won't be able to kill yourself either. It's that I Have No Mouth existentialism of eternal torment. But the end of the episode also shows that while there is no end to an eternity of suffering, Gangle can still find solace in her friends.

>>149252007
Yeah it’s a retarded interpretation that doesn’t grasp what demasking after a long day of fast food wage slavery is like for people like Gangle. It’s actually triumphant. The truck thing was an anime reference. The point of the scene was that the sad mask was her true self, fuck the other mask.

>>149252567
Her alone time outside was riding the high of finally being alone and away from that false version of herself.
The depression back at the circus was facing the reality that she crashed out all day and everyone hated it. She can’t even do her old job right.

>>149252589
>Yeah it’s a retarded interpretation that doesn’t grasp what demasking after a long day of fast food wage slavery is like for people like Gangle
Gangle WANTED to work fast food. This is not an after work allegory. Jax was the after work allegory

>>149252567
Unrelated, but I love orangutans.

>>149252606
She was alone in the kitchen prior to pomni stopping her from abstracting too...

>>149252610
Based.

>>149252607
They’re both the after work allegory. The downer and the upper. That whole episode was real personal shit from someone who went through this, and I related to both Jax and Gangle there. Gangle clearly stumbles and falls, it’s an accident.

>>149252614
With the responsibility of being on the clock with shit to do still looming.
Outside she was free, no more mask, no more expectations, just the night air.

>>149252519
>spoiler
So the joke is that he's infertile?

>>149251275 (OP)
>Raggy wrecks Jax's mood for a moment, feels bad about it, tries to make amends and eventually apologizes
>LITERALLY HITLER
>Gangle puts Jax in a torture room, torments him until he is a wreck and singles him out for dirtiest chores - without regret or desire to apologize
>Zooble repeatedly exploits Jax's fear of corn - no apology is given
>Gangle and Zooble cook up a plot to vote Jax into maid's outfit as a nasty humiliation ritual that leads him to his worst meltdown yet - both perpetrators take pleasure in doing so and do not give two shits about how he feels
>Awww, such precious babies!

What drives such behaviour?

Ragatha's family is rich, so they funded the circus
She entered it voluntarily to escape from them

>>149252640
they think you can't emotionally abuse a man
so typical women behavior

>>149252640
Unironically simple niceness makes a certain percentage of people irrationally angry. They want her to go up like the Hindenburg, she needs to be as fucked up as they are, or worse. These people are like Jax, they think kindness from anyone aside from maybe their mother is inherently manipulative and dangerous.

>>149252640
Trust issue men and cunty foids

>>149252589
Doesn't Gangle's VA think that this was a suicide attempt? Back when she was doing a charity gameplay stream where she and other VAs would act out their episode 4 roles in a fastfood restaurant simulator, at one point Vixen - stressed out over having to tard-wrangle Ragatha on top of managing everyone and everything - submitted a delivery order and went out to the driveway to meet a delivery truck head-on so that she would be run over by it.

>>149252715
That’s her headcanon yeah, she’s also an opinionated shipper and has a bunch of takes on different stuff.
I think she’s wrong, it isn’t presented that way in the episode.

Not to add fuel to the fire, but at the very fucking pilot, Ragatha was the one who got beat by Kaufmo and got a bit of abstraction onto her. It was like we were hinted at it from the very start of the show. I don't know how to cope any further. Her death is inevitable and when episode 6 or 7 comes out in like 11 months, I'll just have to suck it up and accept it as her abstraction scene inevitably starts. I don't know how to swallow this information. She is my waifu and favorite character. I think we should start the funeral threads already, it really is going to happen. Gooseworx locked it in from the start. I don't know what do to. I guess I'll just cry myself to sleep and ask "why, why?"

>>149252732
She’ll be fine.

Dicks out for Ragatha

>>149252739
If providence wills it.

>>149252729
That makes sense. She didn't notice the abstracted pieces of ribbon that Gangle shed while running away from the restaurant. Can't imagine anything having that effect apart from her being so full of joy that she stopped paying attention to her surroundings.

>>149252640
>his worst meltdown yet
His worst meltdown was really directed on how he feels, he was hyper ventilating trying to calm down, and then he sulked.

yeah he chased gangle around for a second, ignoring that Zooble probably had a hand in it, but compared to the way the others treat him when he upsets them he's actually really easy going

>>149252810
Rewatched the sequence at .5x speed 4 times and have no idea what you’re talking about, sarcasmo.

>>149252732
If that makes you feel any better, having watched the pilot as a Ganglefag I was 100% certain that she would abstract halfway through the show and thus kept preparing myself mentally for it, so that it wouldn't kill my fondness for her. While abstraction of Gangle indeed was set in motion, Goose wanted to steer away from obvious outcomes and had Pomni snap her out of it right before her being pushed through that final breaking point.

>>149252862
Right as she takes off running in the form of still frames you can see sliding movement from an inky flat shape with a distinct V-cut on one end, closely resembling a fragment of her ribbons.

>>149252640
Jax is a fucking asshole, so it felt cartharic for him to get his comeuppance after tormenting Gangles, and Pomni, all the time.

>>149252888
Maybe I see what you might be talking about but if so that’s a terrible conveyance job because I never would have assumed that intent. I’m not even sure I’m looking at the same thing.

>>149252904
Yeah, but then people would have welcomed Ragatha's contribution on that front - not vilify her for it.

>>149252742
Always

Ragatha is caught in the unfortunate position of being in lesbians with the straightest girl in all of fiction. Pomni likes dick more than Caine likes adventures.

My name is Caine, I am your bitch

My name is Bubble, I created the Caine.

>>149252862
>>149252810
just checked it, they really should have made that more obvious

>>149251275 (OP)
Habit of touching the neck: Self-soothing behavior
Instinctive action to protect oneself from psychological threats
People who tend to have the habit of touching their neck:
・Sensitive and introverted tendencies
・Tendency to suppress emotions or true feelings
・Past experiences where "expressing emotions led to loss"
・Constantly aware of how others perceive them

Apparently

>>149253083
Apparently what?

Ragatha? More like Stupidgathar

>>149253133
Nah, more like RaGYATTha.

>>149253133
More like WIFEgatha.

>>149253133
One stupid sauce bender and it's "Stupidgatha" for life..

>>149253133
I wanna see her go stupid on me.

>>149253191
I'd rather see that bunny Jax off

Gooseworx's comments about Jax getting worse and doing something unforgivable have been a disaster for TADC discussion

>The only thing holding Caine back is the fact that he likes us.
So what if Caine DIDN'T like them? What would happen then?

>>149253492
Can you provide a source for the unforgivable comment? As far I can tell she never used that word.

>>149253175
She shouldn't have told Gangle to kill herself while strung out.

>>149253492
>Not her comments about how yeah, there is going to be abstraction, but of a character you least suspect

4-way with me, Pomni, evil Pomni, and Gummigoo

>>149253567
Oh you're right, it was about writing an "irredeemable character"
>>149253589
Who even is the least likely to abstract though? They're all mentally ill

>>149251348
The show is either going to end with everyone but Pomni abstracting and her somehow bringing them back to sanity with teh powah of fwendship. Or it's going to end with Pomni abstracting and the rest of the cast coming to her aid to bring her back to sanity because of teh powah of fwendship.

>>149253567
There is also this, it could be about masturbating to comatose Ribbit at this point, who the fuck knows
https://www.tumblr.com/gooseworx/748357650578898944/whats-the-worst-thing-jax-has-done?source=share

>>149253626
Probably Bubbles. She’s probably a janny and that why she has more freedom than the other characters

>>149253626
Yeah, but even within the pilot it is made clear that, even according to other circus members, Gangle and Kinger are the ones with worst mental health, with one being depressed and resigned by default while the other is barely aware of the surrounding world.

>>149253633
Have you watched other stuff from Goose? Runmo and Elain don't have a happy ending.

>>149251712
Who is teh Rei (who's gonna become giant and naked in the grand finale)?

>>149253659
Doesn't matter, different story. Digital circus is about connection and family. We're not getting a super downer ending, at the very least. My pick - they all survive, but are stuck in the circus together.

>>149253683
Kinger? His wife calls out to him in his decayed mind - he could try to be with her together, along with the remainder of the tortured abstracted mass.

>>149253492
he's going to do something that inadvertently makes someone dilate i mean abstract, and is going to be inconsolable with regret as the others blame him as if it's 100% his fault and nothing else contributed

>>149253715
Is the abstraction cellar like the fanta in this story?

>>149253747
Yeah, that's the stuff.

>>149253607
Poor, poor ragdoll cuck.
At least ribbons still wants to fuck you.

>>149253607
I could hear the FOP audio just from visual alone

>>149251345
if you have enough imagination...you can ask caine to give you the command or simply give you something to code with, or straight learn how the whole place functions as a whole.
eventually you might even create your own world inside the digital circus and maybe abuse the void.

How long until Caine flips out?

>>149251275 (OP)
Destroy the child, Ragatha, destroy them all.

>>149251773
Shut up Asuka, You are a cunt and that's why you mom hanged herself.

>>149254352
I would say that happened before the show started. He already seems thoroughly flipped.

>>149254352
Zooble seems to be putting him on a hair-trigger, so... next episode?

>>149254578
Wait a minute, that doll...

New lore drop. Hey, if your buddy got banned from 5 different bars…

>>149253498
abstraction

>>149254754
5 countries? really?

Afghanistan, Pakistan, Qatar, Somalia, and the United Arab Emirates are the five countries where homosexuals, not just the act of gay sex, but just being a homosexual, is illegal

this is basically confirmation Jax is gay

>>149254754
https://m.youtube.com/shorts/qmkMLBI7lCQ

>>149254257
It's worse for her, really. Being a cuck would imply she ever even had a chance in the first place. Hell, she wasn't even friendzoned. It was more "I'm glad we're acquainted, Ragatha. I'm gonna go trade sweat with my friend Jax, now".

>>149251275 (OP)
Look, the only reason why Twitter turned on Rags is because they are all girls who love the "Troubled Bad Boy" Troupe, AND all of them are just fake nice to other girls until they show signs of assertiveness against the system they set up.

These fuck ALWAYS hated Rags.

Ragatha's problem is that everyone in the circus is a fucking nerd while she is the normalfag in terms of tastes or interests, she was never gonna make it

>>149252385
>herself

>>149254257
why people hate my wife

>>149255808
They hate her because she was mean to Jax who didnothingwrong

>>149254352
He's already upset that everyone prefers their own adventures to his
When he makes them do one of his and they all start complaining about it he's finally going to snap

>>149254904
If he was gay, it would be six, because he's also banned from the DPRK by virtue of being an American.
But since it's just five, and since the DPRK isn't one of the countries you listed, he did something else to get banned from four other countries.

>>149255808
She’s boring

>>149255842
poor jaxy boy :c

kinger will abstract just to prove us all wrong

>>149255808
Y'know, a simple watermark is enough to taint the training data of any generative art program that ends up auto-scraping it...

>>149256154
Kinger will abstract for 30 seconds and then revert back. He'll say he just wanted to try it.

>>149256237
Watermarks look like shit. Just use nightshade so you can fuck up their entire data set and cost them actual money rebuilding it.

>>149256277
I do think it’s funny when the AI copies the watermark though

>>149254708
This is actually interesting, and I don't know why?

Can any drawGODS draw pic related but as Gangle and Zooble?

Ahhh, Pomni, I told you you were allowed to talk to Jax. He's a bad influence on you.

>>149257832
You have more of those?

>>149258467
There are very few dominant ragatha fanarts

>>149258844
Aw that's sad... A carried away Ragatha is very interesting

>>149251275 (OP)
As a Jax fans, I believe Ragatha should be raped as a punishment.

>>149260098

You can keep sticking sharp blades in Ragatha's soft body all you want, until soft white cotton BURSTS from her holes and slides down her skirt! You can get your knife just covered in the stuff and watch as it slides off! Nothing to censor there, so it is perfectly acceptable!"
