Remember that time Jax said something hilariously out of pocket? Remember when his mask slipped and he accidently let Pomni know he was worried about Gangle? Remember when he was genuinely uncomfortable and removed himself from the situation because he doesn't want people to see him as weak and vulnerable? Remember when Jax pushed Kinger and Gangle down the hole in episode 1 to protect them from the Abstraction?
Remember when Ragatha tried to insert herself into a conversation because she was insecure and needs constant attention? Remember when ragatha accidentally revealed she wasn't ok and then covered it up badly?
Remember that time Gangle realized that pretending to be ok when she wasn't was killing her? Remember when she started to learn that she can be happy without the comedy mask? Remember when Jax made a point of including her in every activity?
Remember when Kinger was sane for a brief moment, and was deeply helpful and competent? Remember when he did that on multiple occasions and it was always a great interaction?
Remember when Pomni, who is used to having panic attacks, recognized when another character was having a break down and knew how to handle it due to her own personal experience, and didn't judge them off a single negative experience? Remember how she managed to get characters to open up by not judging them as if they weren't mentally ill, and understanding that mentally ill and traumatized people have trouble with their behaviour?

Remember that time Zooble was an absolute fun vacuum and ground the conversation to an unfunny uninteresting halt? remember when she refused to go on an adventure and was shitty about it dispite being allowed to not go? remember how she chose to confront a troubled person in front of an audience instead of talking about it privately, achieving nothing but coming off somehow worse than someone having a trauma response of deliberately trying to push people away?
