Before anything, I just want to make it clear the issue (for me) was never Jax being a messy trans character—i have my own original complicated trans characters that I love to write! But the problem honestly comes from how the TADC writers executed that story. I feel like it's pretty harmful how the narrative handles everything ( especially the accountability part; Ragatha, Gangle and Zooble deserved to be pissed at her, and Jax should've faced the consequences for what she did. And no, a quick death doesn't count )

And, I don't know, I just didn't want to see another character I related to (in a way) dying from suicide in a not so subtle romanticized way; even if they're "still there" or whatever it is. (And the fact Jax's trans doesn't help, considering the timeline we're living right now)

And i need to say; how they structured the narrative of the show within these 9 episodes wasn't... that smart, especially not with a character like Jax. Like, from episode 6 I was pretty hooked on his arc until episode 9 happened. It wasn't fun seeing them take all the screen time away from the other characters—particularly Pomni because... Y'know... She was supposed to be a main character too, and she barely reacts to anything in the finale and feels oddly out of character for me— and only for Jax's arc to turn out so... confused.

Yes, Jax's arc isn't confusing; her arc IS confused about what it wants to be.

It's a mess, genuinely. It's going to take a while for me to edit that whole shebang, but I'm gonna be straightforward and say : it's heavily critical, especially towards Jax's arc. The finale drove me insane—and not in a good way.

Haha. Ha.

But i still want to finish my fic, because I genuinely like what I'm writing, and because Jax and Pomni are mine now. I stole them. That's how it goes.

Guess this is also an opportunity to say that whatever kind of drawing, writing—literally anything I do that involves these characters— is MY own interpretation of them because canon doesn't exist in my head anymore. Again. That's just how It goes.
