This Digital Circus truly was... Amazing.

I had a really funny interaction idea based on the baseless hypothesis that Jax has joined the circus late enough to have used vine on the regular, but still early enough that probably missed most of what's happened in the last decade in the real world.

played deltarune for the first time blind YESTERDAY and I already whipped up Noelle ✌️. I love her she's such a cutie :3. I love how everyone has their own little way of drawing Noelle, so I figured I'd whip something up as well. May transfer to digital for coloring and rendering later maybies

As a person with OCD, I really relate to Ragatha's struggles with being positive and a people-pleaser.

Ragatha is in a horrifically fucked situation, and, due to her own trauma, has been bottling up all of her negative emotions out of fear that she'll be perceived as a jerk if she expresses them even slightly.

And with Jax having his own unhealthy coping mechanisms, she's constantly having her buttons pushed because he perceives her kindness as manipulative to others (when it's more manipulative to HERSELF as she's trying to convince herself that everything is okay.) Her crashout is completely understandable.

But despite that, even though Pomni told her that it's okay to be a jerk sometimes, she still feels awful even after just a slight outburst.

I cannot tell you how many times I've had that same face Ragatha has after I've expressed anger towards someone. It's like "do they hate me now? Do they think of me differently? Are we not friends anymore?"

And also, I relate so much to the frustration she has with Jax! Like Jax is constantly bullying her (he threw her face-first into a DEEPFRYER last episode) and then she feels bad after ONE reasonable crashout. She puts so much weight onto every interaction, and then someone like Jax can just shove Gangle on the ground and go about his day.

Imagine how frustrating it must be for her to be putting so much weight on everything she does and says, and then to see someone else just go about their day and express their negative emotions freely and STILL be able to bond and make friends.

I know that OCD wasn't likely what they had in mind when expanding Ragatha's character, but her character is so well-written and human that I can really relate to her struggles in my own way.

I think overall Ragatha does a great job at representing why a lot of people-pleasers are the way they are, and why it's so difficult for them to properly express themselves. Whether that be because of unhealthy coping mechanisms, wanting to be accepted, or otherwise.
