I've been working on this for a month now and finally got the motivation to finish the SKETCH animation. GUYS IT'S STILL NOT FINISHED, I WILL COLOUR IT IN AND DO THE LINE ART WHEN I HAVE THE TIME RIGHT NOW IS NOT THE BEST BC OF ARTFIGHT AND STUFF.
Anyway, I genuinely love the Ribbit and Jax scenes a lot. Ribbit is the GOAT while J*x was a POS. And I genuinely love the way it was done. We get to understand Jax, the way she grew up, the trauma she endured from her parents and her true identity, the person behind that mask. We are meant to empathise with her. HOWEVER, WE ARE ALSO MEANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT DESPITE THE STUFF SHE WENT THROUGH, SHE IS STILL A BAD PERSON WHO REFUSED TO CHANGE HER BAD COPING MECHANISMS AND HURT THE OTHERS THE MORE AND MORE HER BEHAVIOUR BECAME PROBLEMATIC. Yes, the trauma is an explanation as to why she's so avoidant with people and disconnected from the reality that she is IN FACT hurting the members of the circus, but it's not an excuse. Ribbit deserved so much better man. Anyway, have this unfinished angst I made and will continue at a later point :P
