Episode 5:

During the bar scene Jax laughs and makes a comment about Zooble being a tattoo artist and a bartender, two queer stereotyped jobs. Thing is, this is pretty insider knowledge since these stereotypes are not as widely known in mainstream cis-het spaces.

When Jax called his tail as the 'pinnacle of masculinity', he finds out it's missing.

And more importantly, there's the Jax maid scene.

First he acted infurated, but as he shifted attention to other stuff, he acted quite comfortable in it.

There's the fact that while Evil Ragatha told Ragatha nobody loved her, Evil Jax told Jax he looked good in the maid outfit, being a possible reflection of his internal and repressed thoughts.

Episode 6:

Jax, when pushed by Pomni, says "you think I'm a misunderstood chicken fetus in an egg that is waiting to be cracked open!", and for those who don't know, egg is trans slang for someone who is trans but is not conscious about it, and cracking open is realizing it.

Episode 7:

Jax is the only who didn't want to wear a swimsuit and expose his body, something common in people with dysphoria

He also talked about Zooble's ability to change their own body with a grain of envy.

One of the most explicit details is Jax's room, which looks like that of a small girl, and since apparently the characters can't design their rooms, it could be based on Jax's mind.

Episode 9:

Like, I'm not the biggest fan of TADC, I thought it was fine, but it wasn't what I would call subtle about its themes. TADC exists very firmly in the Millennial Adult Animated series subtype, which means it looks like a kids show, while being about adult emotions, and also states its ideas extremely clearly. There's a bunch of these (BoJack Horseman and Rick & Morty are the big ones in my estimations). They are extremely direct and very blunt, which is in my mind just a neutral statement. Directness is neither positive nor negative

So here comes this show, which spends a huge chunk of its runtime explaining how basically all of the characters are damaged and need to accept themselves to heal, and then spends a MASSIVE chunk of its double length final episode detailing how its biggest piece of shit character became the way she is via a mix of self loathing and fear of her own identity, culminating with her begging the main character not to love her, literally indicating that she believes her own actions have made her irredeemable, AND THEN the whole show emotionally climaxes with said main character embracing her, choosing to love her anyway...

Obviously, the goal of this experiment is to grow the lobsters until they’re big enough to settle to the seabed and then release them, because they have a much higher likelihood of surviving to adulthood when they’re able to hide. Ideally, captive lobster hatcheries can boost the wild population and keep things stable, so we don’t have a major crash in a decade or two.

The first year we tried this was pretty bad. We had a lot of eggs, but very few babies. It turned out that the CO2 levels in the building spiked as more guests visited throughout the summer, and that settled into the water and threw off the pH and caused a chemical reaction that prevented a lot of the eggs from hatching. I think we ended up releasing three baby lobsters (which is still better than their wild survival rate but not great).

The second year was a little better. We added a de-gasser to the aquarium and got a ton of larval lobsters, but right as they were settling to the bottom we had a disease outbreak that killed most of them. We ended up releasing four babies at the end of the season.

But this year? Oh boy. We have so many lobsters that we had to release the first round early (usually we wait till September or October so guests can see them). We just released a total of FIVE HUNDRED AND TWENTY FIVE baby lobsters, and we still have over a hundred who haven’t settled to the bottom yet. I genuinely don’t even have words to explain how cool this is. OVER FIVE HUNDRED. We just added hundreds of lobsters to the wild population that wouldn’t have been there otherwise.
