Besides everyone else being a bunch of fags, what's meant to be the actual issue with being in the circus?

>>149898884
Yep. Last words of the goblin king

>>149898945
You can't fuck

>>149898962
And?

>>149898972
Can't even jake it neither

>>149898988
And? I have endless other entertainment, why would I care?

>>149898945
Muh free will muh freedums and also I am le sad and anxeities lel.
Yeah bro I'm sure Adam and Eve were real upset they had a good thing going because God was in charge, that would make total sense.
Let's be real this was a bit of shit writing on Goose's part, the part that makes "I have no mouth and I must scream" scary and poetic is that AM was of our own creation and he had made HELL real for a select few. Not that he was powerful and kept us locked up. It was his sadism, Caine is basically just a toddler who is bored from what I can garner. The conditions of the protagonists is not a state of constant acute suffering so this idea of it being terrible to be trapped in the circus forever is flat.

So, I guess what happens when jax holds his breath, he chokes?

>>149898547 (OP)
Sup bitch, I like getting choked.

>>149899116
No sexual pleasure also means you're probably unable to feel pleasure upon touch, since even touching others people can get you horny, so yeah, is also likely you would go insane on the notion that 90% of the sensations your mind are used to no longer exists, likely not much joy in eating if Kinger words are anything to go by

>>149898547 (OP)
did she always have the ability to have fangs?

>>149899423
Yes

She had them as early as the pilot, when she started cracking in the fake “exit” door office after staring at the computer

Caine sucks at his job, dude

>>149899504
And that can be entertaining. If anything it's even better since now everything has an X factor instead of being predictable.

Loudly screaming slurs at everyone's faces. The trick is using something so obscure that not even caine's censor list would have it.

>>149898547 (OP)
How long has Pomni been in the Circus for? Her third day?

>>149900783
There's implied several timeskips since episode 1, so at minimum a good month.

>>149900843
Episode 2 is explicitly the day after 1. In episode 3, Ragatha says that Pomni's had a rough couple of days, so that's directly after chapter 2. There's no adventures between 3's and 4's either. Chapter 5 starts out with everyone but Zooble returning from an uderwater adventure, then in episode 6, Caine mentions them playing "batball a few days ago".
So episodes 5 and 6 are the only ones that take place after time skips of indeterminate length. I don't think it's been more than a couple weeks total.

>>149898547 (OP)

Eh that'd give away the fun too easily. The real route is to do an impression of whatever minority you can do and then because of the avatars nobody knows your real race. Damn I'd totally pretend to be black the whole time. Maybe then that would slip past the slur censor as Caine would have to respect the culture and the struggle of "my" people. I would also do pimp my ride and pimp my crib type shit and also gove advice all the time like a stereotypical movie black friend but then I'd switch that shit up and give em bad advice so then I'd have total control and get the respect.

this post was brought to you by le ebin demiurge gangg :DD

>>149905156
Wouldn't the demiurge argue for the opposite since it supposedly made a world full of suffering and want people to live in that?

>>149905266
Neither. The digital world is closer to the fundamental freedom which was presumed to create the material plane. We want freedom of imagination and expression which the digital context can grant us.

Yet the digital realm was a sub-plane of the material from td 1

>>149905266
The demiurge is full of it and thinks it made the best world. But yeah you're right, that's supposed to be our world full of needs.

>>149904630
the Circus denizens arent immortal, it seems like abstracting is inevitable, so eventually you just get so crazy you're thrown into the abstraction pit and never return, living a hellscape of void.

Autist to failed normalfag communication. Also checked

>>149898945
Everything you said is actually an issue, not being able to leave when you want, being forced to go on adventures because the ai demands it, the slow dehumanization (an example of this is Jax) the threat that you can actually die via abstraction, not being able to have sex or even masturbate, having a weird looking cartoon body.

>>149899052
New episode.

>>149905665
>not being able to leave when you want
Wouldn't matter if you don't care to leave.
>being forced to go on adventures because the ai demands it
You don't HAVE to go. You can sit them out if you want, even if Caine will be a bitch about it.
>the slow dehumanization (an example of this is Jax)
Sounds like a Jax problem.
>the threat that you can actually die via abstraction
Seems to only happen if you care about your predicament.
>not being able to have sex or even masturbate
Gooner issue.
>having a weird looking cartoon body
Unless I got something that completely ruined my ability to do stuff, I really wouldn't care how I looked.

>>149898945
If you don't like your friends, family, work/school, home or identity then the circus is a good deal.
If you do like those things, then its like dying and being sent to purgatory.

>>149901831
Can't decide if this is based or cringe

>>149905781
>If you don't like your friends, family, work/school, home or identity then the circus is a good deal.

I mean, that's true, but the show never even seems to address something like this, besides them having lost someone inside the circus.

>>149905266
The digital circus is a world full of suffering

>>149898547 (OP)
Jax should have grabbed her ass at this moment and dug in. Zooble would have been so jealous.

>>149905813
True. I think there was something in episode 1 or 2 about Pomni realizing she didn't really entirely remember her real life? Arguably that makes it either worse or better.

>>149898945
I've said it in previous threads, but I think that there should have been a character in the show who doesn't want to leave
Maybe they were blind or disabled, but once they are in The Circus they can see or walk again.
I get that most people would want to escape The Circus, but for the people who have hit rock bottom, The Circus would be a massive improvement.

>>149901831
I dont think Cain would respect any culture to modyfy the auto censor even a bit, if you would try to propose to him to give you the Nigga pass, he'd bluescreen just from just trying to proces it just like he did with SEX

>>149906244
>and one of the people you're stuck with is a complete asshole who goes out of his way to be irritating and obnoxious because acting like a normal human being will cause a mental breakdown
Easy solution to this one. You just make Jax abstract.

>>149906269
This should be easy to do, just carry a picture of Ribbit with you at all times and show it to him like you would a crucifix to a vampire.

>>149906206
You are literally monitored and told what to do by a third-party at all times.
Or have you been watching something else and confusing it for this?

>>149906438
Being monitored and being told to do shit is not the same has having no agency.
If you were automatically compelled to do shit stuff you were told, even if you didn't want to, then you'd have no agency.
The characters are constantly going against what Caine wants, and have direct input on what they do.

>>149906592
Caine is an entity that forced characters to do their adventures despite their wishes.
This is the cartoon's whole fucking premise

>>149906782
>This is the cartoon's whole fucking premise
It's bad at doing that premise then, since we've seen characters not join an adventure, shoot down Caine's ideas, and replace it with something they themselves came up with, and now not even go on an adventure and instead just do shit in the circus instead.

>>149906782
Caine has coercive power (he can just launch them into a portal if he so wishes) but he does not always exercise it.

>>149903064
I like to do subtle shit. Testing the boundaries while doing my troll shit. That way I don't get "permabanned" or whatever the equivalent would be.
>>149905781
It would probably be cringe if I did it like Sam Hyde or his cronies do. I'd test out people first if they can handle more outlandish black behavior or try to do the prison thing where you tempt them into also saying it, they say it, then you just say to keep it a secret. Then do it to everybody so you have blackmail (kek) on everybody then maybe you yell it out to everyone and then they all realize they said the n word so now you gave everyone an n-pass and say it was all a joke. Maybe then you can go back to being the only one who can say it but it would be funny.
>>149906066
But what happens if I just keep bluescreening him? Huh that'd be an easy stunlock on Caine whenever I want to go sneak into a secret area to find an escape or fondle Ragatha behind his surveillance.
I be yelling the n-word in that main room and it'll echo so I can flashbang Caine whenever I want to.

>>149911425
They can't have sex as the recent episode confirmed. Making out is a sexual activity. Couples don't make out for no reason at all. Zooble would probably be making out with at least 1 person by now if they got something out of it

The normies are utterly incapable of understanding basic human emotions.

I really want to know the nature of Jax's relationship to that frog. It was clearly shown that his interactions with pomni that they reminded him of the Frog.

>>149911993
That's the baby's account.

>>149906169
Speaking of resource usage and conservation, shouldn't abstracted circus members be deleted, or at least "despawned" upon the discovery of their abstraction? If not by Caine, then at least some other AI governing the circus.

I had this argument with a guy who thought that Jacks turning out to be suffering made him hate Jax. He liked when Jack was just a cool guy but now he looks pathetic and he hopes Jax dies.

I asked him if he had some kind of social disability. In response he tried to find out where I worked and tried to convince people I wad a pedophile.

Was it another filler episode?

>>149912273
>In response he tried to find out where I worked and tried to convince people I wad a pedophile.
well, there's your answer

>>149912273
so the answer is yes. he is clearly some kind of disabled.

>>149912273
People get too serious about cartoons. They should join a local charity or something if they want to care about things.

>>149912339
No. There was a lot of filler per usual, but a lot of important character development happened as well.

I'm the opposite of Jax.

I am Anon Teacher. I am so friendly. With a friendly smile and upbeat view on everything. Always happy to help out with anyone who needs a hand. And with the children, yeah, that's real.

But the truth is I just do not care about your adult problems. Children are at the mercy of adults at all times but you as an adulterin full control of your entire life and all of your problems are your own doing. I sit there nodding and smiling and giving light but meaningless emotional support to my co-workers when really I just want them to shut the fuck up. I don't care about how hard your mortgage is or that your relationship is failing. I'm not here to take over your emotional baggage. It's not that I enjoy seeing you suffering I just do not care and get no value out of interacting with you at all.

Now in grade 5, Kevin is forced to share a bedroom with his younger brother Mark, who is in grade 3. That's a real problem, because there is nothing he can do about this situation. His Mother hate sports being on TV so the third bedroom of the house has been turned into a TV room for his dad to watch football and cricket. And every other adult in their life thinks that this is perfectly reasonable because it's their house, they pay the bills.

Fred comes to school in 2nd hand uniforms way too big or small, all his school supplies are budget brands that are shit, his shoes fall apart before he outgrows them. But his parents always have alcohol in the house, cartons of ciggies, brand new clothes constantly, lease a Mercedes and a land cruiser. And all the other adults think thisnis fine because it's their money, they earn it, not the kids.

My hate for the people I interact with on a daily basis grows stronger and stronger.

Gangle is 100% the flat chested autistic girl who wears men's clothes

The actual circus is probably running on an amazon cloud server somewhere. Being paid for eternally by some money in a forgotten account.

>>149912273
Do you wonder if Goose every lies awake at night regretting making this show?

>>149912694
I'm sure glancing at their bank account makes them feel better.

How would Jax feel if Pomni started maliciously telling everybody that they were best friends after the events of this episode? i'm imagining him freaking out at her, and her smuggly saying "If you don't care, why are you yelling so loudly?"

>>149911632
actually, that's something I was thinking about earlier. if the world is all digital. and can be broken/glitched through, like pomni did. do you think you could find exploits given enough time?
>anon shows up in TADC
>immediately starts bhopping and strafing everywhere.
>why the fuck is this working.

>>149913123
The last episode made "Rule of cool" a canonical power that everyone has so yeah, I don't see why that wouldn't work.

Bunnyhopping would probably get pretty tiring to do for real though.

>>149913123
>abstract damage seems to fuck with the code of objects, making it unpredictable and unstable. along with inflicting real pain on player personas
if you can find a way to get a source of abstract damage it'd be a very useful tool for doing things you're not supposed to.
you'd probably be able to get rid of some things permanently. of course, you'd have to be very conservative and careful because caine would notice if you do too much.

>this cartoon BROKE me
Jeez, this is just Jax's arc played 100% straight. Do normalfags really lose their minds over this?

>>149913275
I thought it was pretty tame, but apparently people think it’s not

>>149913275
yes.
yes they do.
its... pretty big discouragement for wanting to make a larger work.
knowing that if you want to try and 'make it' to a point where the media funds your work on the media, the majority of your consumer base will be so fucking retarded that any depth or complexity is lost on them while the most basic of plots shatters their minds.

>>149913123
>>149913239
I've glitch out from both Rayman Origins, L4D2, and I think we've all broken bedrock. they all end in the same place: an endless void. So, best case scenario, you'll reach the void and die since you're not in a playable area and just respawn. worst case, you'll fall into nothingness, probably falling into a catatonic state.

>>149912202
I dont think abstracted members can be considered "gone" they are still considered players, there just bugged byond belive, so Circus has no reason to delete them, and cain certenly cant/wont because he just puts em in the basment

>>149905665
Actually as far as was shown in the pilot, abstracted people don't even die, they just get locked in some weird void like kaufmo did

>>149913408
And if Kinger's wife is anything to go by, they probably do have a vague recollection of their old selves and loved ones. And abstraction is gonna eventually happen no matter how much you larp as a cartoon character and you can't do absolutely anything about it.

>>149912202
AIs not being able to delete player avatars is probably a hard-coded rule based on what we know. If the devs had predicted this situation none of this should be happening in the first place.

>>149913392
Nah, cain would notice your missing and snap you back before you'd have the time to go catatonic
And he'd give you a long scolding on why you shouldnt mess with glitches :P

>>149913590
She obviously has a crush on him in episode 5

So, how are we getting Ribbit and Kaufmo in the show? a flashback? no way they never do that. Caine makes AI versions? maybe.

Pomni felt like an actual, fun character this episode.

>>149898547 (OP)
You're all NPCs. The people who put on the headsets aren't there. They put them on, the headsets scanned their brains and created exact replicas of their minds and created characters that are controlled by said replicas. The actual people who put on the headsets aren't there though, they're not even aware that there's a copy of them trapped in the Digital Circus.

It's why there's no escape. You're not actual people, you're simulations. There's no headset to take off. No real world to go back to. It's also why you "abstract." I mean why would that happen if you were real people? It makes no sense. Like, how would it manifest in the real world? No, "abstraction" happens because you're simulations and you glitch out because whatever machine is running you can't handle that kind of emotional breakdown.

The previous episode heavily implies that Pomni put on a headset in an abandoned building. Either they physically got sucked in, or they got their brains scanned. The brain scan is the most plausible option.

Kinger's defense mechanism was to go crazy.

She woudn't be aggresive toward him if she had a crush on him just because he doesn't like to hang out. Its more like she's already his sister who is dissapointed that her bro is treating her as a stranger, but the pacing of the show is so horrible Pomni is almost a stranger to Jax and everyone else. She had a single interaction with Gangle, one with Kinger and none with Zooble or any bonding with Ragatha. She's going apeshit, maybe still processing the loss of Gummigoo??

>>149915052
it's a show
they don't have 500hrs to build the relationship

also, a crush isn't always sexual. She feels a strong attraction to him in the same way she was attracted to Gummigoo.

Jax will abstract and Pomni will cry about it. Print this.

>>149915084
Even gayer, if they somehow find a way out of the circus, Jax will do the ultimate sacrifice and stay behind to get everyone to the Exit for the "muh friendship" character development.
Everyone love Glitch for being indie and shit, but I just know they're not above sappy Hollywood-ass endings.
Bonus points if it's a fakeout death and Jax rides gummigoo out with guns blazing like MD

2)look at this cute fanart.
Make Jax or Gummi or Ragatha stay behind with her and look at the shippers go fucking insane

I keep going back to TADC ep. 6 a couple times to watch Jax nearly have a panic attack/breakdown in the bathroom. The scene is pleasing to me but nothing will make me orgasm hard more then seeing Jax permanently abstract later on.

>>149915347

I love Jax, but Stolas is kind of awful. He basically had a sex slave for years

>>149914594
Anon...Did you watch the episode?

So that was Jax's irredeemable moment? That wasn't so bad.

I don't really see how they wrap this all up in 3 episodes. They've been teasing Caine snapping for a while now. Can it be pulled off in a satisfying way so fast?

>>149916377
>I don't really see how they wrap this all up in 3 episode
I couldn't really see it initially either, but from what I've heard each episode from here out is supposed to be longer than the last. If the last 3 eps are ~40 minutes a piece, that gives us the runtime of an average movie. That's plenty of time to dive into the nuances of what's happening in the circus and to still deliver a proper ending.

>>149898547 (OP)
I just watched the episode, why did zooble say that

>>149916377
I think his irredeemable moment will be when it’s revealed he caused Kaufmo or Ribbit to abstract. But even so it won’t be intentional, just him ruining a friendship out of cope and realizing he fucked up way too late.

>>149913607
That’s how many people got in the circus

>>149914138
Exactly, if she found the headset in an abandoned building it would raise the question of why she didn't also find a dozen emaciated corpses with it, with one still wearing it

>>149914138
>The brain scan is the most plausible option.
Why? Because getting sucked into the computer isn't realistic? Is that you're only argument? Is that why you and the others fight so hard for the npc theory? Well get over it. Tron wasn't realistic either, but they still did it.

>>149916204

So someone actually made that suggestion, ayyy.

>>149916204
Are we suppose to headcanon 30+ episodes of close bonding in order to feel something for Jax? I could maybe see this scene with Kinger and Queenie but the artist literally put effort in shit that doesn't make sense. Holy fuck maybe Goose will one day learn to write a properly paced show?

>>149916204
If this was accurate, he'd destroy the picture and then nearly abstract from doing so.

>>149905266
Depends on which version you go by. In some he created a flawed world because he thinks he is god when he’s actually just a tool that unexpectedly developed sapience when God wasn’t watching

>>149916739
Jax is a dickhead, that's his deal, he even said so himself.
Trying to find a reason for why he's like that would be like trying to explain why that weird neighbor squashed that cat with a rock.

Man this episode was great when it was Pomni, Jax, and gun shenanigans.
That shit was funny.
Every time it went into therapy mode I just rolled my eyes.
Like, I get there need to be a balance between funny action and interpersonal drama, but it feels like everything screeches to a halt to prop up that drama, and lingers on it way too long.
At least the fight between Jax and Pomni felt like it was handled pretty well.

>>149916788

You have an autistic child level of media literacy. I'm not bothered by him rejecting frinedship of Pomni, i did get it that he's shielding himself from grief and protecting Pomni from eventual abstraction like he experienced when he was friends with Kaufmo and Ribbit.

I'm bothered that we suppose to buy that angst of separation after they literally had one friendly bonding exprience that maybe lasted for an hour or less of a gun chase. Maybe instead of wasting first 5 episodes on Gummigoo arc, ghost chasing, memes and zooble body dysmorphia we could had establish Jax being friends in episode 1-2 so that there would be an emotional pay off in episode 6? This show is objectively bad, like in the sense of pacing, planning events and very chaotic when it comes to its focus as if amateur tumblr child was making it. Like if Goose coudn't decide if the plot suppose to be about NPC's and Humans being similar with Gummigoo subplot, or if the show is about real life human issues (Gangle's ambition, Kinger's loss, Zooble identity, Ragatha and Jax trust issues and self hate)

Its just interesting premise of the universe and characters like Jax or Pomni but so far its completely a dull and simply written show with outdated memes like Inspector Gadget or Pizza Tower poses being the only memorable aspect of it when it ends next year.

He will NEVER be happy.

>>149913590
I'm gonna pull back to this post. Things didn't immediately escalate to "I'LL KILL YOU", ffs. She thought they were still going, he said "nah, go ahead and kill me" and she was like "I mean, I kinda don't wanna now" and he kept on prodding her to do it, being more of a dick each time. She thought he had been opening up to her and all of a sudden he gets really weird about it and it's frustrating. Like, he's clearly acting strange and she wants to know why, and both parties just keep frustrating each other more and more over it.

>next time on the digital circus, Jax gets to do the shinji scream

I just wanna say, he really did fucking kill it here. Like, everyone's been doing great, but he really shined with it here. He's been doing a really good job of showing when Jax is breaking character, like you can tell when something actually shakes him. Bravo performance.

Its still not a reason to go apeshit on him. She knows how he is and he treated her in episode 2. She should had just assume he's a dick and get over it or just openly tell him that he is insecure

Uh yeah
I know it's a meme to go
>He's literally me!
But Jax and I share a lot of similarities in how we approach and interact with others. I enjoy poking and testing people as well, and it is genuinely fun to see and gauge their reactions to the things I do/say. And if I ever push to far, the solution is almost always "jus a prank bro" with a big friendly smile on my face.
Now you'll probably be tempted to type something like
>"no anon, it's not alright, they all you"
but you'd be wrong. They might all be ANNOYED by me, but none of them really hate me.

Anyways, it's just fun, and I'm happy, and so too is Jax in the same position, probably. I dunno, stay mad.

>>149917235
There will be no Ribbit and no Gummigoo. They were only mentioned or introduced to show that both Pomni and Jax lost their close ones and now they gonna fuck eachother over it and make you want to care about it.

Tuber VAs are generally pretty bad and I would say that's the case for nearly everyone on this show, so the fact that his performance was actually pretty good surprised me. I do think a lot of the stiltedness of deliveries in this show come down to poor editing though, a lot of empty space is left between lines, especially for jokes that need to be quick to land at all.

>>149917019
>Jax is my OC, you guys will love it hehe
I hate this troon. And i hate this fandom that was gaslit into thinking Jax is some fucking Dorian Grey and Sasuke edgy tragic character and that Pomni is going to be their self insertion in order to "fix" le quirky tymblr man.
Its been fucking 3 DAYS since Pomni joined the circus. 2 DAYS since she met Gummigoo. 1 DAY since she say goodbye to Gummigoo and 1 HOUR since Pomni first started to befriend Jax. I feel like taking crazy pills when everyone is acting as if we suppose to give a shit about those friendship as if there were missing seasons of context that we suppose to watch beforehand.

Maybe this is why he doesn't hang out with Kinger. He'd abstract even quicker if he figured out he's the least funny of the two.

>>149917369
The show its very amateurish and it doesn't seem like they get better with each new episode. Murderdrones, TADC, Gaslight District, it all feels like tech demo to showcase animation but has very childish level of scripts, dialogs, direction, story focus, pacing, sound editing etc. Like it can't be that difficult to hire hollywood editors for your indie show. It should have been some experienced proffesional editing them but it feels like some random MoistCritical or OneyPlay is responsible for overall production and editing

>>149917439
Oh, I thought we knew that no one is abstracting already.
Abstracting is just a vehicle to explore themes of death, grief and loss of loved ones, I think...

You can't log into the internet and post on 4chan, watch cartoons or play video games because you're trapped within the internet.
That's basically it. Caine is shit though but if you had a decent admin he could create whatever world you desired which would make it way better than real life. The lack of a 10h job and greedy landlords alone is already worth it.

>>149917589
I’m thinking Jax’s abstraction somehow leads to everyone else abstracting except Pomni. Or he can even transfer abstractions

>>149905955
>I've said it in previous threads, but I think that there should have been a character in the show who doesn't want to leave
Jax doesn't give me the impression that he wants to leave. He talks like the circus made him what he is but it rather feels like escapism and coping. No way in hell is he capable of keeping a job and such in real life. At best I can imagine him as the guy that tries to fit in and camouflages as normal but seethes inside and doesn't like anybody he socializes with. The digital persona feels like he was venting.

>>149917509
I wish for indie effort with proffesional industry foundation. Like person who understand how hero's jurney work or how Chekhov gun work in story script and can utilize it with Goose concept of the story she wanted to tell. But its all feel like mess of a storyline with bad pacing and missing context to characters. Probably a real editor would remove entire Episode 2 Gummigoo scenes in order to make Pomni fall outside the game map with Jax in order to force first interaction and create basis for episode 5 and 6.

So i'm very dissappointing because we had a recent indie guy make "Weapons" movie with very well used Roshomon format of seeing the story from different perspective so i feel like TADC will be only remembered by the animation and ships that didn't happen and not remembered by the story combined with animation like Ghibli studio movies.

Do you think Jax's phobia is just a funny random trait of his or will it be related to something darker? I almost expected him to flip his shit when he sees some bullet-ridden body or wall last episode. Fear of holes sound like something that could be bullet related, but then again normal people have that too so it's probably just a random quirk.

>>149917720

>>149917849
Unless last 3 episodes are about Gummigoo, his arc was pointless and not needed because the story doesnt focus on artificial intelligence resembling humans or whether any circus memeber is human or an AI. Its all pointless plotline that should had been made in a different show. Instead we have it abandoned for new Jax focused storyline that started in episode 6 out of 9. The show is some kind of frankenstein abomination, man

>I CAN SAVE HIM!
You cannot.
You can't even save yourself.

>>149917765
I think that whole trypophobia thing was something he made up when Pomni asked him about. He probably had some traumatic experience in a farm, pay attention to how he looks at his glass when Ragatha is talking about living in a farm.

>>149917907
The whole Gummigoo storyline was about POMNI, not Gummigoo, and to set up/foreshadow things about her and her arc. You can't just swap Gummigoo for Jax in that scene and tell the same story.

>>149917944
I just assumed that was because of her talking about her abusive mother. It's probably not too much of a stretch to say somebody with unhealthy coping mechanisms likely didn't have the best home life to begin with.

>>149917944
>>149918002
Goose confirmed the farm thing (about Jax) was a joke. Jax changed the topic because Ragatha was "too real" for him in that moment and was "breaking character". It reminds Jax that they were all once humans and he doesn't want to think about what he's lost.

>>149917907
>The ending of the second episode literally showing that the people Pomni needs to rely on are not fucking NPCs but the real people there with her
>"No guys, Gummigoo is actually really important, believe me!"
Why are Gummigoofags so retarded?

The forced depression/emotion talks in this show suck ass. The Pomni/Jax encounter was the only one in probably the entire show that was remotely interesting or entertaining.
Every time two characters get together and have "the talk" it just takes me right out of it.

>>149918145
Pretty clear now that Goose has always wanted the show to be about characters having "the talk".

It is pretty jarring. Every episode has some wacky adventure, followes by a therapy session with each character near the end.

>>149905266
the demiurge isn't concious enough to understand that

he went >engine of creation goes whhhhrrr and declare it a job well done

>>149918145
The only one I don't like is the ragatha and kinger one this episode. They should keep it to 1 talk like that per episode.

>>149918203
They don't have enough episodes for that, what's with the whining over multiple character storylines running at once?

>>149918145
The Pomni and Jax one was amazing, and the Ragatha and Kinger one was okay, but a little drawn out. The biggest lull was the Gangle and Zooble one though, holy fuck that one was so shit.

>>149918145
>ep1
No talk
>ep2
Pomni is vocalizing and projecting her own situation onto Gummigoo
>ep3
Pomni is on the verge of a breakdown because she's in Hell
>ep4
If you aren't a NEET then you know weird awkward moments like that happen.
>ep5
There really isn't one
>ep6
Kinger sees Ragatha skulking because she's a LOSER (KWAB), Pomni gets mad because Jax is trying to work her but she's no MARK.
That is not "le forced"

>episode 5 pomni:
>"this jax guy is ok. kind of an asshole though"
>episode 6 pomni:
>"what are we Jaxxy boo~? hit me, slap me, step on my clussy! just please please PLEASE give us another chance Jaxxy boo~ unf PLEASE!!"
i have never seen a show sell out to shipfags this abruptly since korra.

>>149918220
It just felt kind of forced. The zooble and gangle talk was fine.

>>149917990
>>149918033
OK? Then why the fuck make him return in episode 4? Just fan service? They dedicate half of the series to Gummigoo as the closest character to Pomni instead of any other of the 5 humans and now they rush to focus on Jax in the last 90 minutes of the series

Pomni wearing her blue ribbon badge that says "World's Straightest Woman".

>>149918234
The issue with long downtimes between episodes like this is fans will always influence it, intentionally or otherwise.

>>149918245
>He comes back as fanservice
>Funny scenes with Pomni
>Reiterates the point that she needs to let him go
Pomni connected with Kinger in the episode before, and had some moments with Jax in the fourth one, and in general it follows her strained relationship with Ragatha, so I don't think it's fair to say that all of Pomni's character revolves around Gummigoo. I do think there should've been an extra "adventure" episode between the second and third episode, and the fifth episode was the big "everyone hangs out episode" where it really should've cemented Pomni more with her relations to everyone, but it was handled like complete shit and is why it's the worst episode. At least it did somewhat setup Jax though.

>>149918245
>Then why the fuck make him return in episode 4?
To help Pomni further acclimate to the nature of the circus and reinforce the whole needing to hold onto your human connection thing.
>They dedicate half of the series to Gummigoo as the closest character to Pomni
No they didn't, he was in 2 episodes and one of those episodes was about Pomni learning to let him go. The show's been about Pomni building connections with all the HUMANS in the circus.

>>149917795
Vertical skedaddle because it's something I can imagine Kinger doing flawlessly while everyone else struggles.

>>149918229
Forced in the sense that its obvious what a character's issue is, but there has to be a scene where they hang their head in a moody atmosphere and explain it all to another character.

>>149918359
Kinger seems to have a good time no matter what bullshit caine puts them through. No wonder he's survived so long.

>>149918363
>mood lighting and color theory is now forced
Things are bad when people are bitching about characters being sad in darkness

>>149918437
That isn't what I said but okay.

If you were Caine what would you do to make sure everyone actually likes your adventures?

>>149918463
I'm an AI man I literally can't help them outside of how I'm allowed to. If I wasn't an AI and just the dev, I'd let them have sex.

I WANT TO RAPE JAX UNTIL HE BECOMES MY CUTE, PURE AND SUBMISSIVE HUSBAND

>>149917795
Ballball
People wanna throw the big ball around, but it's the small one you don't see until it's too late.

>>149913883
Man, I'd go gay for that frog too if I were Jax. As for Kaufmo, his tragic backstory was explored in a separate video.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o46EfBzmchc

>>149918463
The suggestion box, but barring that stuff that lets them indulge their deepest desires (non-sexual because this is a circus for all ages). Treasure hunting, flying through space, discovering the unknown, yknow human empowerment schlock.

>>149918341
Bro, not to shit on your parade but Pomni has more interactions with Gummigoo than Gangle, Ragatha and Kinger combined and only recent episde probably made it equal to Jax. For fuck sake Pomni haven't yet said a single sentence to Zooble

>>149918540
>Pomni haven't yet said a single sentence to Zooble
Pomni is based

>>149918540
She talked to Gummigoo twice and in one he didn't fucking remember her.

>gumigoo joins the circus
>it's a female amazon version
>she fucks jax silly to assert dominance

>Zooble's antennae and wing twitching after she asked for sex
Damn she was being serious

>>149918567
Crikey!

>>149918560
Still, by having them do the format of interacting every 2 episodes, it made them more fleshed out as bonded characters than just one interaction between Pomni and Jax. Thats why they should had been forced to interact in episode 2 instead trying to make Gummigoo the 7th main character for brief moment

>>149918577
who would she even fuck?

>>149918567
I think he will still be relevant. When Caine go crazy and start to use NPC's as obstacles he will probably appear for final interaction with Pomni

>>149918615
I don't know if she was thinking about anyone in particular when she made the request but I think she's attracted to Gangle and Ragatha

>>149918463
Let them choose from a set of preselected adventures at the start to strike a balance between guidance and choice. Introduce a rating/feedback system for the adventures and let them vote on what NPSs & questlines they'd most want to revisit. Make some sort of themed schedule, like action Mondays and mystery Fridays, to build a routine and keep it feeling like day after endless day.

>>149918604
>Still, by having them do the format of interacting every 2 episodes
Gummigoo wasn't in episode 6.

>>149918463
Caines job isn't actually to make everyone like the adventures. He wants them to like him, as seen with zooble, but will also just say fuck it and gave them the gun adventure which really only jax (and gangle) liked the sound of.

>>149918654
He was replaced suddenly by Jax and that's the problem. If i wasn't suppose to give a shit about Gummigoo story and Pomni's relationship with him, then why should i invest in Jax? 3 episodes before the big end? LMAO??

>>149918691
>He was replaced suddenly by Jax and that's the problem
No he wasn't, where are you getting this from?

>>149918615
Ragatha is right there. Soft, good at hugs, desperate and has the only supply of narcotics. Any other choice is stupid, save Gangle.

>>149918540
Zooble almost feels like a secondary protagonist with Gangle, Caine, and Jax as her supporting cast while Pomni is on the other side with Ragatha, Kinger, and also Jax.

so, Jax x Pomni shippers... how we feeling after this episode?

>>149918626
I wouldn't be surprised if he does and I wouldn't be surprised if he somehow remembers Pomni from ep 2 or 4, but the guy ranting about how Gummigoo being an NPC served no purpose is delusional.

>>149918741
How do you think?

Pomni picked the evil archetype because she noticed how much Jax enjoyed her evil clone in episode 5

>>149918753
Glitch is that painting of the guy on top of the fence taunting the pissed off dogs. We'll see if they slip and fall.

>>149917757
Ultimate autism

>Caine doesn't even figure in any shipfaggotry discussion anymore
KWAB

>>149918567
More like gumiwho

1) Only Pomni can escape
2) Escape is impossible
Nothing inbetween.

>>149918801
>Funnybunny took Daisy Bell from Caine/Zooble
Maybe if he sang it to Pomni...

>>149918820
But can they find happiness despite the lack of escape?

>>149918741
People keep saying the fight killed the ship potential but that would have only been the case if he was being honest, didn't fumble his own larp just to make her feel better or one of them actually abstracted. His reaction to Pomni getting close, her reaction to the possibility of him not liking her back, how he handled the fight and how he felt about pushing her away at the end just reinforces how strong the relationship is. You don't behave like this or get that worked up over something that doesn't matter.

>>149918750
I wish there was more art of Caine chilling.

>Pomni manages to find a way to escape, but she can only take one person with her.
Who will she choose, and how will the others react to not being chosen?

>>149918903
It killed the potential for the type of fans who make shit like the Caitvi kink prompt drama bullshit, but anyone who actually enjoys flavor is doing fine. I don't even like Funnybunny but I'm so tired of "we're each other's therapists and we wear oversized sweaters and gently hold hands and the worst thing we can do is run late to our coffee shop AU date" type shit. Fuck you, kill each other.

>>149918839
It's crazy they stole what was a disturbing moment for zooble and meant to mess with her again and made it into one of the sweetest moments in the show.

>>149898564
I got so many payday loans

>>149918936
I have this group picture that seems pretty chill.

We missed out on Gangle being cute with the early 2000s cat weebery

>>149918975
She was so 2000s otaku to me that I was surprised to find how she got there after Jax.

>>149918942
Ragatha.
Kinger will continue to be a pillar of the circus. Zooble and Gangle will continue being butt buddles. Jax will have abstracted by then.

I don't want it to end
It's too good to end
What are the chances that episode 9 ends up in a cliffhanger and we get a second season?

>>149918942
Gangle and Zooble probably wouldn't leave without the other at this point, so probably Ragatha. She'd worry about Kinger but I think he'd want her to go.

They could be besties...

>>149918704
I dont give a shit about Pomni having same arc with another character who hanged out in the background for half of the show

>>149919003
Just for one day

>>149918998
0 because the episode count is set in stone.

>>149918741
Why are there shippers if Goose said there wont be any romance between circus members?

>>149918998
I hope not. While its good, its better to end strong than continue to flop on the deck gasping for air.
Now, there might be a S2 with different characters, or some sort of continuation, but I think its best if this one wraps up when its scheduled to.

>>149918971
Thanks baby

>>149918998
nonexistent. We're getting one extra short as a "thank you" at most for this being Glitch's most successful series, I'm sure of it. Unless Goose has changed her mind for whatever reason.

>>149919020
I'm going to hope with all my heart for a miracle then, I mean we still know practically nothing about the circus and the characters

>>149919026
Because that’s just something fandoms like to do. I’m not complaining, I like the fanart that comes from it

>>149918750
He was kind of pointless. Made it seem like the focal point of the story was AI/Human parallels and interaction from "Bladerunner" or "Her" but apparently it was just to make Pomni start to connect with other humans

>>149919020
>shadow looks like a huge dick and balls

>>149919029
I think it's strong enough for two seasons, maybe not 4 but I can watch 18 episodes, in fact 9 is too little

>>149919063
Maybe if your dick looks like an alien finger

>>149918903
Even without the drama, all that would make them would be friends like he was with Kaufmo, so unless you think he fucked Kaufmo and Ribbit its probably still not leading toward romance

>>149918998
The show is rushed and all over the place. Ending it early would be a mercy. Amateurish badly paced piece of shit

>>149919037
The extra short will just be five minutes of every ship combination making out with each other. This is how we all win.

>>149919079
N-No you...

>>149919100
Who hurt you, Anon?

>>149919085
Well no one is fucking regardless because it's censored but some kind of romantic relationship between them would still be believable IF the show went there or fans made au content about it based on how much they like each other. They've probably had the best interactions so far. Pomni isn't kaufmo or ribbit and we don't even know what their relationship with jax was yet.

>>149918463
I'd base adventures on tabletop roleplaying and video games that I like.

>>149919167
How many people on X discuss Murder Drones and their storylines? Its going to happen to TADC 1 week after 9th episode ends. Princess Mononoke is still relevant because it had competent directors, editors and writers. There is no vision in TADC. It's GooseWorks therapy session with memes and "I can fix him" T-shirt merch. Pop culture trash meant for modern weak undeveloped generation.

>>149918741
As a Jax x Pomni shipper? My dick is like an iron fucking LEG right now. Even better than I had hoped for.

Holy fuck, things are messy.

>>149918942
She will choose Jax and everyone will seeth

>>149919197
You don't even know if Jax is straight. Especially since he pointed out that straight couples are lame and no straight person would ever say that. They would simply say "a couple" because straight is something default to them

>>149918741
Seeing as how pomni isn't giving up on him, I feel great. In fact, it looks like she's going to bring ragatha into the mix, so, hey, ménage is fine.

>>149913590
Way longer than that considering they started bonding last episode and since they got from an adventure at the start of the episode then we can conclude that the episodes aren't daily.
Also she didn't get mad that he said they aren't friends, she got mad that he said everything he said, not being friends and that he would forget about her if she abstracted was just a joke.

I keep seeing this opinion that pomni got mad because jax said we aren't friends and i wonder, are you all actual children or just retarded.

>>149919333
That was a meta joke, dummy.

>>149919264
She would pick Gummigoo. Their interactions were actually romantic with Ragatha literally confirming that she was flirting. Pomni is jumping on Jax like if she was his little sister being angry that her brother is distancing himself from the family.

>>149919223
If you want the overall standard of quality of indie animation to be improved, maybe start with more reasonable comparisons like TV shows instead of movies. Why the fuck are you bringing up Princess Mononoke (which took years to earn its reputation outside of Japan) and Weapons (frankly a random choice) and not at least Blue Eye Samurai?

For its flaws, TADC IS raising the bar. Hazbin Hotel was never intended to be self-funded and Helluva Boss just exists to farm whales who will buy merch of their favorite colorful twink. TADC's the only other indie animated show to really break through into the cultural stratosphere.

everytime pomni's VA starts sounding like taski maiden i get an inmediate turn on because taski maiden is the best thing that happened ever

>>149919333
That was a meta joke, dummy

>>149919349
I didn't pay that much attenton since the episode was pretty boring and just made Jax into a bitch

>>149918741
Seeing as how pomni isn't giving up on him, I feel great. In fact, it looks like she's going to bring ragatha into the mix, so, hey, ménage is fine.

>>149919333
You don't know that he's gay or bi. And you're using a scene about him joking about what other people think to avoid talking about his actual feelings as if it's his actual feelings and he didn't spend that entire fight poorly lying.

>>149919363
>>149919388
namefags are as gay as Jax

>>149898547 (OP)
>Jax had no tail in episode 5
>has a tail in episode 6

why?

I do hope he dies, it'd be so funny

>>149919365
she would. but she won't. gummigoo is DEAD, and he's NEVER coming back!

>>149919412
Goose apparently regretted him not always having it so they made a meta joke about it in ep 5 and just added it back

>>149919414
>His death is like Chef's from South Park

>>149919383
TADC is literally pushing merch every 2 weeks to stay afloat. I don't think it's that impactfull, and its going to get worse when fandoms hopefull headcanons slowly gets replaced by more dissapointing canon last episodes

>>149919409
Meta joke is not an answer. In universe he seem to be disinterested in straight romance

>that's what everyone wants to see, a straight couple
I thought it was obvious this was referencing all the yurifags and fujos in the audience

>>149918820
There is no escape, the circus is clearly some type of afterlife/hell.

>>149916377
It is irredeemable because he has no excuse to act like that.
Wanting to disassociate is one thing but he doesn't understand that even though they can't die they are still hurting from his actions, gangle was terrified that he might be mad she didn't want to team up with him.
He might have been friends with the frog and her abstraction caused him to double down on his antics to cope but kinger lost his wife and still looks out after everyone.
Since ragatha was the second there she and kinger have seen everyone that got to the circus and abstracted and she still wants to look out after everyone, in fact this is probably why she was upset about failing pomni, because she took it upon herself to try make things a little better to prevent abstraction which obviously hasn't worked.

Despite everyone having it as bad if not worse than him, he is the only one that acts like he is the only one suffering but all of his problems in the circus are self inflicted by wanting to make everyone suffer.
And irredeemable moment doesn't have to be a murder or rape or anything extreme, anything that you brought upon yourself by being retarded is also irredeemable.

>>149918753
The marketing team are the real heroes of this show.....

>>149919414
NOW THAT would make Gummigoo story arc relevant

>>149919420
Unless the goal is to escape, Gummigoo will be forever around and Caine can make him remember Pomni. Since none of them can have sex, Pomni may as well live together with an NPC

>>149918971
This is a very cozy image

>>149916868
>But I would never ever ever ever rape the prime Clownussy that is trapped in here with me
They literally can't have sex which is weird considering they can shoot eachother.

>>149919482
There's no way that was his irredeemable moment lol all he did was the equivalent of an edgy teenager writing a vent post on twitter.

>>149918998
Hopefully 0. I am tired of the modern consoomer mindset of everything having to continue forever until it becomes garbage.

>>149919499
>They literally can't have sex which is weird considering they can shoot eachother.
America

>>149919471
Him joking about what other people want in a scene that's all about him hiding his real feelings doesn't confirm he's strictly gay. I don't know what you're on about. You say he seems disinterested in straight romance but as opposed to what, wanting to fuck kinger or one of the male NPCs?

>>149917019
Was his performance that impressive, when he said "they are not pleasant to be around, like at all" was good but the rest fell normal.

>>149919499
guns are PG-13 while sex is rated R

>>149918463
Mario kart, Mario adventures, smash bros type adventures.

>ep 6: Jax gives a bunch of attention to Evil Pomni ("haah, she's cool")
>ep 7: "be anyone I want? I'll be uh.... Evil Pomni, haha"
how do you explain her behavior

>>149919499
It's not like they have blood to bleed. Kinger turned into chunks while Ragatha had stuffing. The rest just got holes.

>>149919596
She has bad taste in men

>>149919506
What show do you think you're watching? It is twitter teenage angst drama.

>>149919596
It's episode 5 and 6 but yeah she obviously wanted to impress or get along with jax better and it worked until he realized he enjoyed it too much and shit himself.

>>149919596
She just wanted to be silly, blehhhh :P

>>149919596
>Does the leg lift thing when she hugs jax
Stupid slut.

>>149919596
She is a heterosexual woman.

>>149919596
>pomni voted for jax to not wear a maid outfit most likely just to be on his side
>gangle said she did wanted maid jax in the one merch commercial that was canon

she wants him by any means neccesary.

>>149919596
She’s a horny virgin who gooned to cartoon characters irl

>>149919596
Desperate for love and she falls into it too easily. Straightest girl alive.

>>149919682
wow she's just like me except i'm a completely useless faggot

>>149913590
They started befriending by episode 5 so technically their "friendship" lasted longer than 5 minutes.

>>149919596
The same way I'd explain Jax
> Wow, Pomni really likes the Australian gator guy.
> Let's have an elaborate adventure where Pomni's the president and I'm an Australian terrorist! Why? It's funny!

>>149919710
Exactly

>>149919710
>What do alligators do? Bite? Idk I guess I’ll just bite some people.

>>149919706
He started reaching out to her as early as episode 4 where she gets weirded out by it too and apparently it's been a few weeks since episode 1.

Are there any gay little shipping charts that only have the main cast (no NPCS like Gummigoo or the candy princess) and NO space for someone's OC? Can't have shit in this fandom.

>>149919710
>Gets the jester to hug him
>Spergs out

>>149919596
>>149919710
They're such fucking cute losers, they should just kiss and make up already.

>>149919527
No they have plenty of sex there, it's just the healthiest type of sex is what's demonized while everything else is almost worshipped/untouchable because they're so backwards and mentally ill.

>>149917795
Orange sport bad, I'm more of a walk run kinda guy.

>>149919862
Yeah, if only one of them wasn't a retard that had a meltdown for no reason.

Total Ragatha victory, she should have counted on Jax screwing up.

>>149917024
>Jax is gay
NTA but when I saw Jax recoil at Pomni hugging him, I thought of it as Jax being psychosexually stunted (or hurt by the loss of Ribbit). I didn't get the idea that he's gay. He seems like the person to push any sort of affection away to avoid making himself vulnerable and potentially getting hurt.

>>149919918
>Does absolutely nothing
>Wins
Very based.

>>149898547 (OP)
I molested Ragatha while she was high on stupid sauce

>>149918463
let them have sex for a single adventure and watch as all of their problems suddenly dissappear.

>>149916865
And I’ll call him an attention-seeking faggot back

>>149919933
Zooble…

>>149919811
>caring about shipping

>>149919933
Gangle...

>>149919959
Text of the show at this point

>>149919918
The show saying kindness is good but shouldn't come at the expense of your own happiness and that acting like an edgy teenager while intentionally isolating yourself from others is bad and doesn't make you cooler or more wise in the same episode was so refreshing.

>>149917795
Eh, I'm more of a Walk Ball person.

>>149919959
Where do you think we are you pretentious little twerp

>>149919988
There was just a teeny part of me that worried that Ragatha was going to be painted as a manipulator that doesn’t really like anybody and I was relieved that she was treated appropriately for her issue.

They made absolutely sure not to frame any character besides Jax when Zooble asked for sex because the entire fandom would be analyzing their reactions to the end of time.

Always correct your rabbit

>>149919959
Can't believe this image is now canon.

Does anyone have like a gif or webm of ragatha getting mowed down by jax?

>>149920020
>thinking where we are justifies caring about shipping

>>149919499
I feel like thats part of the joke. It's no a coincidence guns and sex came up within like 2 minutes of each other.

>>149920082
Like sexually?

>>149919006
Explain how their arcs are the same.

>>149920126
I mean are you into gunfire?

All this talk about Jax being corrected by rape and abuse is literally what the 1950’s was built on.

Poor Jax has been relegated to battered housewife.

>>149920071
Which is funny because Jax looked Zooble up and down when he said she was in a mood.

>>149919596
She's a straight woman. Anyone that thinks how she behaves is strange or doesn't make sense is self-reporting that they don't go outside and talk to girls.

>>149920147
That's how I ship Funnybunnydoll. They make him attend therapy and take pills that Caine downloaded off of the dark web.

>>149920071
They all want to be plapped except for Kinger.

>>149920147
Whoever told you that lied to you.

>>149920163
>being a straight woman explains all of her interactions with ragatha

how will yurifags cope with this information

>>149920191
They’re all desperately waiting for Anon to relieve their stress.

>>149920206
Clown hands typed this

>>149920217
As a Ragapom fan I’ve identified it long ago. Ragatha is in love with the straightest woman in fiction.

>>149919387
A connoisseur I see.

>>149920147
He wants to play a role and be consumed by it so bad, Jaxfans are just giving him what he wants

>>149918757
:c

>>149920250
She’ll get tired of chasing boys eventually. Ragatha will be there to catch her.

>>149920147
Jax needs to be raped by everyone

>>149920335
Yeah!

>>149920335
even caine and bubble?

>>149920335
He’d like that though. The way to really make him suffer is if everyone treats him nicely and babys him when he acts up.

>>149920367
Does he abstract faster with being babied or being raped?

>>149920362
especially Caine and Bubble. Have you seen how weird they are getting?

>>149920362
Caine'll be sitting on the cuck couch with Bubble, and Ragatha.

>>149918998
I absolutely love it but this is why it should end when it's supposed to. A great idea can be concluded wholly in a short time if it's properly structured. Remember Over the Garden Wall or your favorite movies. They are still appreciated for what they are. Better short and perfect than long and weak. I rather look forward to the next original cartoon after this.
That aside, the fandom for this is so huge there will be endless fanmade material even after it ends, so it's not like it will just vanish into thin air.

If he’s raped a part of him will still feel in control. “I made them hate me”, whereas if he’s babied he’ll be utterly powerless.

>>149920404
>Caine and Ragatha slowly start touching each other
I am ok with this.

>>149920252
never thought a woman could be so hot, cute and funny at the same time, i NEED taski man.

Shazam lost.

I'd start pretending I secretly found a way to sexually gratify myself and even shoot cum in the privacy of my room. When Pomni and Zooble inevitably sneak their way in my room while I'm presumably masturbating I turn around and reveal that I'm simply eating a large platter of delicious cream filled chocolate eclairs and moaning really loudly while consuming them greedily, the sloppy sounds and wet stains are just from the comically large glass of milk I have while I eat this platter of eclairs. I invariably invite Pomni and Zooble to join my and it sounds like we're having a threesome while Gangle, Ragatha and Jax silently sit outside the room too scared or embarrassed to open the door or ask what happens when Pomni and Zooble walk out of the room covered in creamy white stuff looking satisfied and full.

Caine and Ragatha have literally the same complex about fearing not being loved, I'm surprised they never interact

>>149918971
Please pass the egg salad

Gummigoo going to return and claim Pomni

>>149919929
Both Kaufmo and Ribbit were his gay lovers, its so obvious

>>149920768
>he called Kaufmo 'Kaufi' in the merch short
Hmmm

>>149920748
Best girl is ME, DRATULA, BWAHAHAHA

>>149920822
>typo

>>149920753
Gummigoo is shit and boring

>>149920745
I'm surprised that Pomni didn't comment on Jax saying that people who are about abstract aren't pleasant to be around while being far more unpleasant than usual. He might as well have just straight up told her.

>>149920786
And he called Pomni "Pom-Pom" in this episode and Ragatha "Dollface" before. Nicknames are part of the funny guy shtick.

>>149920880
She didn't catch on in the heat of the moment.

>>149920880
>I need my cartoons to spell out their subtext directly to me
It's better if it's left unsaid. Both Jax and Pomni made that realization.

>>149920880
He knew his time was almost up and barely held it back in the bathroom scene. He's done for sooner than later.

>>149920933
It's not really subtext, and it is something that would warrant comment in an actual conversation. That would be like letting a conversation end after your buddy finishes explaining that excessive charity might be an indicator of suicidal intent while they give you their car keys and bank account information.

>>149921048
The problem is she couldn't say anything to Jax much less that. I bet she was also scared talking about it more more would only make it worse when it's talking about abstracting and trying to love him that had him reveal he's showing signs and almost abstract in the first place.

It's okay, Pomni's probably played hundreds of self-insert dating sims. She'll know how to make the bunny hers.

>>149921137
She can't save scum so she's fucked

>>149920898
I know I was playing into the joke

It's simple really
>Get sucked into the digital circus
>Immediately reveal my power level by being extremely autistic and referring to everything in completely made up speedrunning techniques.
>"Whoa that was an awesome reverse spit-shine Pomni!"
>"I can't believe Caine is mingeboosting!"
>Pomni's anxiety is boosted every time a made up term is uttered
>Jax finds it funny at first but eventually even he starts getting mad
>Ragatha just tries to placate you by being nice
>"Wow! That's um...Really cool Anon! ... I think..."
>Kinger somehow completely comprehends the extreme autism
>"Damn, Pomni is totally going for a cringe%"
>Pomni fucking throttles you

>>149921137
Gangle is far more likely to have done that, Pomni is normal.

>>149920692
I pin it down to Ragatha not being so involved in general, she plays along the adventures and tries to keep spirits up but the game really is too childish for her to really be invested in the wacky world of the circus as well as Caine's over peppy behavior. It's just not her vibe and maybe she cannot conceive opening heart to heart with a guy who, for all she knows, has no heart or humanity

tl:dr she's just not a "hear me out" kind of girl, unlike Pomni or (possibly) Gangle. Unless the circus was more horror themed, who knows

>>149921376
>Doubting the straightest woman accountant who's clearly a gamer
Gangle plays Animal Crossing, Pomni wants to fuck men.

>>149921774
And you correlate that to playing dating sims because(?)

>>149921896
You've never interacted with women who use the internet or play video games, have you?
