Edd Blabbering abt the Finale (MY OPINION!)
In the way I interpreted the ending, I believed it was appropriate that Jax didn’t un-abstract in the finale. What Jax had become was extremely complicated and can’t be solved through a quick “this isn’t you” montage. I don’t think abstraction was a complete end-all-be-all considering they’re still inside and have some sort of fight against it, so I believe everyone can come back from their worst selves through strength and time.
I like to believe Jax unabstracts eventually and without ceremony. I believe she’ll come out in shambles, but ready to finally put herself back together and join everyone else.
The way Gooseworkx portrayed Jax seems to be lost on a lot of people, because this is representation for a type of person people don’t WANT to think about. Jax was representation for those who give into weakness and become their greatest fears. When an average person encounters someone like that, they see the worst, and remember them as the worst, which is why I believe so many people don’t enjoy the way this is focused on Jax. You’re not actually seeing the underlying depth of it which DOES require a lot more emotional intelligence than I believe the average person has. (WHICH ISN’T A BAD THING INHERENTLY! But it’s always good to learn and constantly evolve yourself!) It’s BECAUSE that type of person is hard to talk about. Especially if you’ve experienced them in a similar way Gangle has and find yourself relating to her, it makes it painful to think about.
Which, by the way, defending Jax does not equate to emotional intelligence. Those who baby and forgive him for everything are just as blind as those who hate him for eternity. I feel like nobody says that but I need that out there.
Jax was such a compelling character which can make for even more compelling and hard-to-swallow stories that are IMPORTANT to talk about. I truly thing TADC was game changing. AND THAT’S ONLY FOR ONE PERSPECTIVE! Everyone in this show had such real, raw stories to express with different but complex emotions. It made me push past what I was comfortable with emotionally, and I feel like I’ve come out of it stronger and smarter. It hurts to see lots of others fail to grasp what the show was really trying to express, as this was extremely good representation on the human experience — but very little people seem to see what I’m seeing.
Goose gets it though. I was very happy with the finale.
MORE ABT THE CONCEPT ART
I liked the idea that the scars of abstracting never leave Jax, but they don’t hold her back, either. I thought it would be cool if they became a part of her, to express what she’s been through while blooming into something much more beautiful to match up with her progress.
Feel free to flex around with it, and of course if this concept was already made elsewhere then I guess I’m just late to the party. BUT! IF YOU DO GET THE IDEA FROM THIS POST! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASSEE SHOW MEEE! TAG ME ON TUMBLR OR TIKTOK OR JUST SEND IT TO MY INBOX!!! I WANT TO SEE MORE INTERPRETATIONS!!
