P.S: Thanks for the info u guys post on ur blog daily, especially since not a lot of people have twitter 💕.

We usually don't answer these kind of asks, but we decided to do so if it could bring some clarity for you all.

It is just as the show and Gooseworx confirmed, Jax is transfem. A closeted transfem. Her story is a cautionary tale of "What happens if you suppress your true self? Your trauma and grief?"

It is one thing to receive help, it's another to accept it.

Everyone is capable of change, of redemption, regardless if one deserves it or not. Then, what happens if you don't get that chance? That is unfortunately the case for some people, unable to reveal their true self or open up about their emotions whether it being due to internal and/or external factors. Ribbit and Pomni did the best they could to help and provide a safe space for Jax, both trying to get him to open up and giving him space respectively. A chance. But ultimately, it was his choice to make.

It is part of human instinct to protect against harm, but it isn't always about shielding with arms, especially for victims of abuse and emotional incest. Some would stay quiet, others would resort to distractions. Or, if you were like Jax, you'd distance yourself and project. While it isn't excusable for bad actions, it's understandable where they're coming from; "I fought back before and look what happened". That said, just because it's safer, it doesn't mean that it's healthy. You spiral out of control, your body unrecognizable. Or worse.

That is the tragedy of Jax's character: "it's too late" for her because she never got the chance to redeem and find her true self before abstracting. We're well aware of abstraction not being the final end, though it doesn't necessary means it's completely reversible. It instead can change, and that chance hasn't left. It may take time, but all good things do. And perhaps one day, Jax would be ready to make that choice.

Kinger said it best here about the complexity of relationships and people:

To simply answer your question: the fandom can use any pronouns (as we have been referring Jax as she/he) but Jax is, without a doubt, transfem. It isn't a theory or headcanon, it's her story for the fandom to connect and learn from. As we said earlier, you all are capable of change, and you will only if you accept it.

P.S. Thank you for tuning in, and we do hope this post helped you 😊💖 Have a good timezone!

It would be easy for Jax to say "Things were just fine until you came along", because the major changes that happens in the circus only happened during Pomni's arrival. But Jax felt the need to mention Zooble along too.

Why am I honing in on this? Because this is one of those things that may seem minor, but actually confirms my theory of Caine being a learning AI who sees consistent human behavior and internalizes it.

Things were "fine" until Zooble and Pomni came along, because Zooble was the person who kept blowing up on Caine at any given moment; and in turn, Caine learned to be angry because it was a consistent pattern with Zooble.

Harshly criticize, swear, shout, degrade.

It's also why it's so sudden that Caine starts off-handedly swearing, like saying "ass" or "goddamn", yet the filter doesn't apply to him; because he never needed a filter. Prior to Zooble's arrival, he never swore.

In the same vein that he was fed the circus/colorful pictures during his first conception and gained consistent outputs, he fed on the concept of anger and it became his anger as well.

Caine fed on pictures of the outside world, and became obsessed with wanting to recreate it.

Caine fed on Queenie's love for insects and it became his love for bees.

Caine fed on Kinger's tendency to ignore a problem until it became too big to ignore, and he started to sweep anything under the rug.

Caine fed on Gangle's art, and started making his own drawings as well. He also fed on the information of punishing bad behavior.

Caine fed on Ragatha's facade of optimism, and he started to pretend like everything was fine.

Caine fed on Jax's tendency to cause chaos and lie, and started lying on a whim to save his skin-- making the adventures more dangerous.

It would be easy to say that Zooble and Pomni's criticisms were the only reason why Caine would suddenly snap, but this was eventually going to happen, sooner or later.

Zooble was just the final piece of the puzzle that was Caine's growing list of insecurities/flaws.
