Always remember who started to fight back first. Intersectionalty is so important!

I wanted to make something clear with my au.

Jax is the primary antagonist. He's not going to be romanticized. He's not going to be enabled. He's not going to be encouraged. He's not going to be forgiven.

He is a person who who has done horrible things, and that will not be swept under the rug and forgotten like in the show.

And Pomni's role with him is significantly different. She's not going to try and "fix" him. She's not going to enable him. She's going to actively try and work against him, to be the positive where he's the negative. And she's going to inspire Gangle and Ragatha, to remind them they're people, and not just Jax's toys.

One of the main lessons of this is that having trauma doesn't justify your actions. Just because you've experienced horrible and traumatic events, doesn't mean you can take that out on others who are also suffering.

Boy, I desire strong-willed, independent Pomni instead of J*x's brainwashed slave Pomni that Gooseworx wrote.

J*x is yet another selfish prick.🫩

[heytherepixiestixx]

POC fans deserve better.

for 800 pesos, huh?🫤

Anyone at my country expecting to get some Ragatha and J*x collectible popcorn buckets and soda dispensers would be disappointed.

You only get a Caine lanyard, collectible ticket, and a J*x infested movie poster. (perfect for his simps but not for us who despise him)

Tadc is basically mouthwashing if it was shit

Notice how the only man who is completely nice and doesn't harm any of the women or have any malicious intention towards them is immediately killed in his debute episode, gets lobotomized and only used properly for 2 episodes before getting completely forgotten both by the fans and the show...

I think gummigoo was killed off because he's too much of a chad and made jax look worse in comparison. He's a big, strong, kind man who love his family and respect women, but still has an angsty side that made you want to comfort him. Imagine keeping the scenes pomni simping for chudjax's toxic ass when this yummygummy is right there 🤤

Tonight, early access for the indie life simulation Paralives is officially released and the price at my country thus far...

Isn't as concerning as I expect. (thanks to the week-long, introduction discount)

As soon as I return from a week-long vacation...I'm about to insert all of my self-indulgent ships that I am listing here so far:

1.) Kitaban (Minato x Souji|P3 x P4)

2.) Pizzablast (Anton x Peppino)

3.) Pegohamu (Akira x Hamuko|P5 x P3P)

4.) Gustie (Gustavo x Annie)

5.) Coffee x Cafe Latte (ghcoffee)

6.) FunnyGummy (Pomni x Gummigoo)

7.) ButtonBlossom (Pomni x Ragatha)

Man, I cannot wait for it to dive into what is in store, with both discernment and eagerness.

TADC fails at being a character-driven show because the characters barely interact with each other, leaving certain relationships underdeveloped, and most of them receive breadcrumbs of development. Everyone is paired off and has only one other person, who they share a strong relationship with and have few engagements outside of that one individual. This is a major reason why the whole “we need to stick together” moments fall flat because the cast lacks interactions with each other as a whole, failing to feel like a community of people who grew to care about one another despite their differences and conflicts. 

In the beginning of TADC, Pomni receives a heavy amount of attention and acts like a main character, with other characters such as Kinger, Gangle, and Jax getting episodes centered around them. Since the show initially focuses a lot on Pomni's and Ragatha’s relationship, this leads to people believing the latter is another MC or at least a deuteragonist, especially since Jax isn’t treated as important until episode 6. He spent the first four episodes being a supporting character and only starts getting more attention in episode 5. 

From episode 6 onward, Jax starts consuming the show, leading to the rest of the cast being shafted in favor of him. Almost everything is about him and his trauma and problems; we even learn most of his backstory while we get fragments of everyone else’s. Even Pomni, who’s the other MC, is downgraded to an accessory of Jax’s character, and spends the remainder of the show trying to save him from himself.

TADC became the Jax show, and it sucks because it started off as if it was going to give everyone a slice of the story, showing them engaging more with each other and their developing relationships as it fleshed out the world of the Circus yet it only did a fraction of this.

Gonna try and make something big for tadc

Half percent of the fandom desired for the trapped humans to escape the circus back to the real world....while the other half doesn't, as they didn't want to tarnish the theme where they eventually "find the meaning within a stagnant life."

However, NONE of those are being provided with a meaningful conclusion.

I mean, what is EVEN the point of Gooseworx's trashy ending, if the 4chan leaks are better where Jax sunk into the cellar full of abstractions, Kinger stays behind in a corrupted circus, and the remaining ladies including Zooble safely leave to either a stable digital space or returning back to the real world?
