I would LOVE to see people make comics of my AU! PLEASE! Feed me your fanart! If I don't see it, message me so I do! Tumblr doesn't like to let me know.

As for changes, the only changes I'll be making are anything that have to do with Ribbit and Kaufmo's BGs with Jax, and Jax' BG. Not much, since their relationships with Jax DO differ to the ones they have with Jax in the show, given the environment is far different, and I had to switch things about with characters to get the relationship effects I needed for him, but Episode 9 DID help me fill in some holes. Ribbit's relationship with her parents though, definitely helps with the sequel I have in mind, if I ever get that far.

As for Jax' pronouns, for the sake of clarity and story continuity, he will continue to be referred to as he/him throughout TATC, as he is throughout the entirety of the show TADC itself. He is still closeted, and while I will most likely switch to she/her for the sequel (again, only if I ever get to that point after Part 6 is finished and if there's an interest for it), it's just easier and less confusing for readers to stick to one gender when describing a character in writing, as in addressing a character as either he, she or they (or any other pronouns). If you continuously switch, the reader will get confused. That's why I stick to They/them for Zooble, despite Goose stating that they're Genderfluid.

So tldr: Jax will continue to be he/him in TATC, and if my sequel ever gets written, his pronouns will switch to she/her, because he will no longer he closeted to the group at that point.

I do want to find a spot in the narrative where he has a discreet conversation with Pomni about his sexuality, but if it can't be placed anywhere, it'll be something that happens off screen.

now that the finale is fully out, along with the recent goose posts about jax, will it impact the storyline of TATC at all? i’m so curious

Nope, no impacts!

I absolutely love your fic and artwork! They're amazing! Your fic inspired me to make my OWN ao3 fic! So, I made one, and now I got a question for you. I only got the first chapter up. How do you stay on top of putting up the new chapters in good time (Considering the fact that you're human and have a life outside of ao3)?

Glad you enjoy them!!

It is a very divisive subject and I like to just let my art speak for itself (experience with fans since working at disney has been eye-opening, I tell you). However, I'll say it here until I begin posting more art about it, because it is an important subject.

I think it's a beautiful representation. I see nothing wrong with it. If artists enjoy it and it's not having some irrevocable change on your life, then leave those artists/people alone. And the same can be said with the other side: if someone doesn't see it the same way, don't shove it in their faces obnoxiously. Both ways will lead to both sides being. It's as bad as ship wars.

My favourite so far has not been posted yet

I'm literally so in love with the traveling circus au, but I wanted to make sure I'm not trippin... updates are on fridays?

Nope, not changing it! The only things that may affect the story will be Ribbit and Kaufmo's roles in Jax' past. I sort of have an idea already, but whatever happens can help me solidify it.

I already have a feeling what will happen in Episode 9, but since my AU takes place in an open world and not inside a digital land created by an AI, the outcomes and relationships are different.

I don't write stories or dynamics with angst in mind. It just happens, the situations create it. Arguments between two characters isn't angst, and everything these guys will be going through isn't what I would call angst, or at least not between them

Magma drawing from yesterday.

So since a lot of people asked when I started part 1 how many chapters there were, I decided to count them this time for Part 2. Counting the ones already out, there will be 19 chapters. Debating on either lengthening chapters or else doubling postings, but I don't want to overwhelm readers.

Forgot to post these here when I posted them on Instagram and Twitter. Updated Info Cards for Part 2: The Golden Butterfly!

I’m a huge TADC fan and DND player and love the concept of your AU! I was curious about the specific subclasses of the cast, I know you mentioned Ragatha was a nature cleric, but what of the others?

Aw thanks! Happy you like it!

I don't dig into DnD lore too much ^^; More like, I dip my toes into it. I'm not a pro, hence why aside from the roles and a few creatures and items/spells, the fic is more fantasy based, and DnD inspired. There are so many classes already, that digging into sub-classes stressed me out haha!

Gangle is a Battlesmith Artificer (I think??), hence the Iron Defender Disappearing Guy (He doesn't show up in Part 2 but he will make appearances in the rest of the story), but everyone else just... does their own thing XD Hence why Zooble is a rogue but carries three different axes on their person. The only character who multi-classes is Jax, and even then, he still refers to himself as a ranger, over sorcerer.
