Overall TADC thoughts
The Finale has been released, so I wanted to dump my thoughts here. There will be spoilers of course.
I have mixed feelings overall, not just the finale, but the show overall with how everything has been handled. My biggest criticism would be that this show needed more episodes, maybe 2 or 3 at most. One of them really needed to be a pre-pomni episode, where we can see the cast from outside the POV of one character (which unfortunately happens here). Show us more of the relationships that were spoken about but never shown. I don't even think we've gotten a single decent conversation between Jax and Kinger, or Caine with individual cast members aside from Zooble and Pomni. This would've worked well for the characters that we know, but especially for the characters we meet here: Ribbit and Kaufmo.
Regarding the finale itself, it felt like it was 2 parts. The first half was about Jax lore, and the second was about Caine.
Starting with the Jax stuff, I've always had mixed feelings about her. She was never a character I was attached to, and despite some interesting scenes with her and Pomni, I kept wondering if we'd see other characters get a chance to take center stage (not really). At the beginning we see her get angry with Kinger, which is understandable given the unknown circumstances, but after that, characters just sort of ignore her. Especially when Pomni makes a big deal out of making sure Jax is okay all during episode 8, when everyone looks like they've been hit with a ton of bricks, she doesn't check in with her at all, leaving her to abstract off screen. I didn't mind that per say but I would've at least wanted some confrontation beforehand about Jax's behavior (as we learn of it).
Getting this out of the way: I don't think Pomni is a bad person, but I think she's a horrible friend. That hug scene with Ragatha wasn't deserved at all. With how Pomni basically ignored or disregarded her, (except like twice out of all the times they've interacted), if it weren't for the current situation, Ragatha would've been justified in calling Pomni out on it. Sure, you wanna keep the circus folks in check, but you essentially butchered attempts at making meaningful connections with other members because you thought Jax looked sad (you know, the rabbit that goes out of her way to make everyone miserable). I wonder if she'd even bother to chat with Ragatha had it not been for Kinger in ep 3. Probably not.
The meat of the first half is Jax stuff. The story of her and Ribbit. All the personal emotions that we've been wondering about since like ep 5......I don't think it was handled the best. Now some of my opinions will come from personal experience, I've known a Jax in my life, I've felt like a Ribbit before. I understand where the hard emotions come from. Being unable to trust someone with queer feelings after being in an unhealthy environment for so long, even being a runaway. I feel for those who've been in that situation. This is also where an issue comes up for me, because I think Ribbit has gone through something similar when she mentions her Mormon family. It reads like she didn't sit well with them because she, too, was queer. Just like Jax, who ran after believing she hurt her mother. The bow scene did make me tear up, this intimate moment of two people opening up about their feelings. Only for it to be shattered immediately. Only for me to see that THIS was the reason that Jax caused TWO PEOPLE to abstract (or at least she certainly didn't help Kaufmo's case) and essentially abuse (yes, she was abusive) the other people in the circus. She didn't even have any particular reason to torment Gangle, she was horrible to her the minute she appeared. And I LIKE awful characters, but what helps is how others react to them alongside motives/behaviors: (examples: Invincible, Chainsaw Man, Hunter x Hunter)
Omni-man's actions are his own, and no one forgives him in the slightest even when he pleads forgiveness. Even when he turns traitor to his race of Space Nazis, attempting to undo thousands of years of ideology, no one immediately accepts him. Because he caused irreversible damage to Mark, Debbie, Oliver, and countless others. And they don't want him to cause any more.
Makima and Yoru are very intimidating and powerful people in a world where you can lose your life easily with a slight of hand. Makima is calculating with a kind looking but uneasy demeanor. Yoru is blatantly cruel and powerful when fear rises (and it REALLY doesn't help that she's using Asa as a vessel).
Chrollo and the phantom troupe are a gang that come from nowhere and steal because they feel it's what they're owed for what's been done to them. They have no morals to attach themselves to, other than comradery for each other. It also proves them to be an intimidating threat to the main cast.
The circus is a world where you can't leave or die, the worst that can happen is abstraction. The fact that no one tried to confront Jax ONCE about her behavior before Zooble showed up is insane, as she is the ONLY character that has brought people close to it other than Caine, but Caine knows little of humans to begin with, hence the conflict. Having mental health issues doesn't excuse the harm you do and how someone may feel if they've been hurt. Gangle was tormented the moment she appeared and Ragatha was immediately tossed around as soon as Jax's friendship with Ribbit fell apart. She didn't deserve abstraction, but she deserved some sort of pushback. You can't just say it's all a facade when it comes from real feelings that haven't been dealt with.
I don't have much to say on Caine's half of the episode. The animation was very good and the music accompanying it too. It's weird that the blue part was the "unstable" side of Caine, like....what. Wasn't the beginning sequence of ep 8 about how Caine was scared of being replaced, and so he consumed the blue ai? Genuinely, I don't get it. Also they give Caine pushback for his crashout, so there's an understanding of how the characters feel when someone goes too far. I guess they don't care about Gangle or Ragatha that much.
The ending itself was bittersweet, I'm glad they found life worthwhile in the circus, even if they aren't who they are out in the real world (praying they can reverse abstraction though bc wdym Kinger just had to watch photos of him being happy with his wife and kids, while his wife here is gone, nooooo).
Overall, TADC is messy. I had fun with it and it isn't bad for a first project, just narrative and character writing issues that need fixing, but that comes with time and experience. I know of drama that has happened on Twitter, and it's very disappointing to see. I just hope that can all get resolved and people will also leave Goose alone bc no one deserves threats like that. I've seen upliftment for black fans among parts of the fandom which is good, but we should keep that up for every part of every community. Also I've seen so much shit get thrown at people for calling Jax trans which is so wild, I don't know why it's hard for people to accept trans characters (it's confirmed now too lmao).
5.5/10 for the show. Kinger goated. Ragatha goated. Abstrabgedy sex is real.
It's pride month. I wanna talk about Veil and being Aromantic.
Veil is a manga that I hold dear to my heart, not just because of the beautiful artwork, but the relationship of Alexander and Emma throughout. In one of the afterwords, the creator talks about how the two have this relationship where they aren't quite friends but they aren't lovers either. Hence the title "Veil", referring to the ambiguity of their relationship.
Let me tell you why this manga means a lot to me.
I've always had weird feelings about romantic relationships. I've been in a few, they didn't end well for one reason or another. However, something constant within them was how I felt about my partners. I never felt like a romantic partner nor did I really think of them like one either. Like with so many things, it felt like there were these unspoken rules that I didn't know or there were ways I needed to act and feel that didn't fit with how I truly felt. And the one time I thought I felt something for another person, it ended up being this jumbled mess of feelings I couldn't understand either or what we were to each other; it ended up destroying our friendship.
I didn't start identifying with being Aromantic until I was about 18-ish. Even so, I wasn't sure what that meant for me; was I repulsed by love? Did I care for it? I didn't know. There were hardly any romance stories I related to or longed to have. The closest story I could name that resonated with me heavily was Hunter x Hunter, and how free spirited Gon and Killua were. But I craved some form of intimacy, something personal. To be close with someone that our relationship couldn't be defined in a way, and it didn't need to be, because it didn't matter.
Then I read Veil (possible spoilers if you haven't read it)
The bond Alexander and Emma share is one of, if not, the most beautiful relationship I've read/watched in anything I've ever seen/read. There are no labels, no complications in each other's emotions, they don't care to ask about what they are to each other because they understand each other on a level I could only hope to have with someone. They don't ever read into the others' behaviors (such as giving gifts or offering touches) and try to over analyze them. They sleep in the same bed, but nothing happens. They simply enjoy each other, and flow freely from that.
Over the course of the manga the veil they have does thin out; Emma even reveals some personal feelings about how she's lived before meeting Alexander (from a psychological perspective). It's almost like a confession, but it isn't. It's a reaffirmation of what we've already read. To me, that veil isn't meant to be them slowly falling in love, but letting the other person in and becoming closer and closer. It's intimate and in a way it is romantic, but they still don't read as lovers to me. It's more than just any label can define, and a bond that doesn't need one. They don't need labels or rules, they only need each other.
That's what I want, more than anything I think.
I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream
okay. i just think that Black ppl shouldn’t be expected to “gracefully” handle being called racial slurs to accommodate anyone. in a moment meant to be a celebration of their accomplishments at an awards show with a history of racism & exclusion no less. words have effect regardless of intent, it doesn’t magically negate harm. and had michael & delroy reacted differently they would not be given the same understanding.

Do you like this Video Game Song? #218
I like it and I've definitely heard it before
I like it and it sounds familiar
I like it and this is my first time hearing it
I don't feel strongly about it or have a complex opinion
I don't like it and I've definitely heard it before
I don't like it and it sounds familiar
I don't like it and this is my first time hearing it
All these people going nuts over this song wouldn't survive hearing Mouth Wide Open for the first time (Both songs are from the game LISA: The Joyful)
Can't believe Hylics is turning 9 today, both the game and the soundtrack have meant a lot to me these past few years and I can't be thankful enough to my friend who recommended it to me,, Can't wait to see where Hylics 3 goes, and I'll also be waiting for the vynils aaa
See? I’m real.
Happy birthday Miku :3
