Nintendo. If you didnât want them to be gay. WHY doesnât Sidon tell Link that Yuna is his fiancĂŠ if you run into him at shatterback point first. Why does he go down on one knee, take Linkâs hand, make a solemn vow to serve and protect him, and give him a glowing ring of power as proof?? NONE OF THE OTHER SAGES GO DOWN ON ONE KNEE FOR THAT NINTENDO.
like Murray couldn't have been more clear in her talk with Azune after the sewer fight that her protectiveness over Demodus has everything to do with that Demodus took a job through the school and ended up almost dying because of it. she wants the Penteveral to be a safe place for young arcanists like Demodus to learn magic, and within a day of the Sundered Houses' power grab, they exploited a financial aid student and framed him for theft, which directly led to him almost bleeding out in the sewers. making sure things like that don't happen is something Murray considers directly under her responsibility. this lines up with the fact that while she's less fond of him for being a rich boy, Murray also sprang into action to find Occtis when it became clear he was in danger from his father and literally performed a miracle to resurrect him. may I remind y'all, while it wasn't as explicitly about that, she also immediately stepped in when Azune suggested Occtis go in Demodus' place.
you can boohoo as much as you want about Azune but he's a grown ass man who isn't one of her active students. she's still pretty sympathetic to him, but he's a peer in her eyes because it's a whole ass different situation.
I know some of y'all zone out and go into selective hearing mode when a woman is talking, but if you pay attention to her personality and values, Murray has actually been remarkably consistent in the way she treats all three of these men. she puts in a sort of gruff tough love approach with all of them and is, unsurprisingly, the most protective of the financial aid student directly under what she considers her responsibility. any other interpretation is just woobie googles rotting your brain.
best case scenario Digital Circus gets remembered in a similar way as Steven Universe: a show that was Really Fucking Good and had nuanced characters and interesting things to say, but the audience wasn't quite ready for it and it imploded into a discourse ball. four years from now I expect to see lesbians drawing Jax like she's a renaissance muse the same way people still draw Pearl or Lapis

âLife after menopause is exceptionally rare in animals. It can evolve only in creatures where grannies help younger family members survive. Only human, killer whale, and short-finned pilot whale females routinely live for substantial periods after they stop breeding. Like humans, killer and pilot whales have roughly twenty-five to thirty childbearing years, then can live another thirty or so. And as Kenâs just explained, some live a lot longer. Up to a quarter of the females in a group are postreproductive. These whales are not waiting to die; they are helping their children survive. As human children often benefit from their grandmothersâ attention, killer whale grandmothers boost their grandkidsâ survival. A rather bizarre twist of killer whale society is that killer whale mothers remain crucial to the survival of their adult children. When older killer whale females die, their adult children start dying at high rates, especially males. Male killer whales who are under thirty years old when their mothers die suffer a tripling of the annual mortality rate compared to males in their age group whose mothers are still alive. Male killer whales who are more than thirty years old when their mothers die face death rates more than eight times as high as males in their age group whose mothers are still living. Daughters under thirty show no mortality increase after their mothersâ death. But daughters older than thirty when their mothers die have more than two and a half times the death rate of same-age females whose mothers are alive. Malesâ handicaps of the extra drag of their huge dorsal and pectoral fins and the extra food required for their immense size (at around 20,000 pounds, males can be one-third more massive than females) seem to make them reliant on their working mothers for food. Females donât have the malesâ impediments, but while raising young, females may rely on food shared by their no-longer-breeding mothers. Adult females share essentially all the fish they catch, and more than half goes to their children. Adult males share their catch only about 15 percent of the timeâusually with their mothers. While no one fully understands their strange death pattern following the loss of a mother, extreme parental care is likely at the root. Toothed whales are the worldâs champion nursers. Short-finned pilot whales continue to produce milk for up to fifteen years after the birth of their last calf, likely nursing other femalesâ young. In bottlenose and Atlantic spotted dolphins (further study might reveal others), some females never give birth. Denise Herzing dubbed them âcareer females,â because their role in society does not include motherhood. They might be infertile. They might be gay. But their contribution is crucial: they do a lot of babysitting. When Herzing entered the ocean with a visiting nine-year-old girl, âWhite Patches, the eternal babysitter herself, had never seen me babysitting a young human before. Her excitement vocalizations were audible and electric and she continued to swim around us, eyeing the human youngster attached to me.â (Researchers sometimes call babysitters âaunts.â Thatâs precisely who they often are.)â
I just watched the TADC finale and I have a lot to say about it im ngl. (Specially with how twt and other socials were filled with discourse abt it) so I'm gonna scream to the void - spoilers ahead!!
Also i may be kinda blunt on this rant, so apologies LMAO
I think the discourse I saw the most around this ending was Jax related, and It truly just comes to show how fake a lot of people are about their support about mental health đ
Before watching this all I saw was people calling Jax horrible things and either saying he (she) had been babied and she should've been "punished" and acting like she is literally Satan on earth, and I honestly was expecting something way less real than we got in this episode
Her scenes were pretty well written, and as someone who has struggled a lot with self hatred and suicidal thoughts before it just hit really hard, I get it shes unlikable, but thats what mental illness does to you!! Being traumatized is not an excuse for acting like a dickhead, yes, but it is an explanation. Specially when in this case the show is not justifying her, it doesnt have to, what happened happened, shes fucking killed herself!!! Thats the consequence!!! ,not of her actions, but of the entire situation. Thats the final consequence of mental illness, of the refusal of helping and the refusal of getting help.
Mental illness is not pretty, its not cute crying to yourself with sad music and staring at the window on rainy days. Mental illness is visceral, it's treating others like garbage cause you do not have the energy to care about how your actions affect others when you dont even care about yourself, its a pain so profound it eventually starts seeping from your fingertips and staining everything around you.
And not only does this show depicts that in a very real way, but it shows you why, Jax was terrible cause she didnt wanted people to care about her, she hated herself so much that she pushed anyone that treated her as a real person worthy of love away because she couldn't handle that.
And theres also the other elephant in the room, which is Jax being obviously transfem and how much her internalized transphobia and misoginy dictates her actions. I cannot speak for other trans people, but I can speak of my experiences and how much a non-supportive environment can lead you to internalize A LOT of harmful beliefs. I myself struggled with internalized transphobia for many years, and it is something that took so much self reflection to not only notice but change about msyself. Yes, Jax is a misogynist (or in this case has internalized misoginy) but what people dont seem to understand these emotions come from a lot of trauma, it doesnt make it okay of course, but the thing is characters dont have to always be perfect. Real people are messy, they contradict themselves, they're cruel sometimes and thats okay, that doesnt mean they deserve to die or to feel like theyre not worth it.
People were talking about the plot points of this finale in such a disingenuous way, and honestly kinda doing what Jax is shown to do, exaggerating and taking shit to the extreme just to make it as ridiculous as possible and not deal with it LMAO. They were calling Jax a woman abuser for... pushing her mother and thinking she may have seriously hurt her, when her mother was abusive to her in a vulnerable moment such as trying to come out, and honestly a very real moment too as someone whos coming out was a complete and utter disaster and who is in a place that is NOT supportive.
I think the line that hit me the most was when Pomni is hugging her and she simply whispers she doesn't wanna go... The realization that you didnt want to die, you just wanted things to stop hurting so much...
And then theres Caine (im really glad hes back, he may be my favorite character simply cause hes cute and i like robots that try so hard to understand humanity, yall know this) who even after hurting everyone so much, self reflects and decides hell change for the better. The complete opposite, he doesnt shut himself in and instead decides to try and trust that they will at least hear him out, kinda like a different ending of what Jax could've done if things didnt snowball into something so big.
I feel a lot of people missed the point of the show, they were expecting some sort of epic mystery with likable little blorbos or whatever, when this is just a sweet condensed message about mental health, and how even in the worst situations theres ways to move forward; that you gotta try your best to be there for the people around you and in turn trust they will be there for you too.
I dont think it was a perfect episode tho, the pacing was a little weird specially at the start and end, then there was this montage abt Jax with a song, and I get what they were going for but it kinda took you out of a really emotional moment. I feel this could've benefited of being 2 episodes honestly, one for this Jax plot line and another for the Caine plotline, cause even tho i get why theyre just one episode it feels kinda abrupt (?) im not sure. And i do wish we had seen more of other characters (Pomni specially!!)
But overall it was a pretty nice (albeit expected) ending, that i feel it wouldn't been such a disaster if it hadnt been released on theaters, it really has the vibe of an internet series ending, so seeing it be broadcasted to such a wide audience (who a lot are like 8 year olds) is kinda bizarre, specially considering how explicit a lot of this episode is.
Theres also the fact i keep seeing people saying how Jax is "not trans" and that "It isnt confirmed" and I just wanna say, some of you fake allies cannot handle seeing a trans person pre-transition and during their transition and it shows. God forbid an actual trans storyline happens cause some of you will not respect a trans character unless youve already perceived them as that gender since the start, so keep hcing a bunch of normative characters as trans just so you dont have to see the ugly/real side of trans experiences and still feel woke (okay sorry random tangent, but like some people gotta start thinking)
Anyways, good shit the internet is stupid as hell, but nothing new.
While I really enjoyed the ending, I think the best part of seeing tadc in theaters is Caineâs crashout. You see every detail, every expression so clearly. The music is so loud surrounding you on every side, and the size of the screen makes it feel so much more intense than seeing it on a screen at home. If I hadnât already watched the episode at home so much, it honestly couldâve been a little scary in the moment

jax as a character doesnt really do it for me but i saw someone say that it's funny that gooseworx managed to make people care about a transfem character by disguising them as a tumblr sexyman and ykw that IS really funny actually
ok sorry still mad about people misinterpreting a certain Plot Point in the tadc finale so. under the cut
"oh so the trans character kills herself??? this show is transphobic" JESUS CHRIST YOU PEOPLE ARE INSANE. Jax repressed himself to the point of abstraction, then Pomni finds a way to reach him even through his broken mental state, and the gang puts him in a safe and comfortable blanket fort where s/he can relax and get his senses back in order without hurting himself or others. The other abstractions get to be seen being happy and at peace. No it's not IDEAL but it's basically like having a mental break that just needs some care and attention instead of Cellar. We do not see any Abstractions get fixed but the episode does leave it open-ended as to how much they will one day be able to be reached, and the characters have eternity to figure it out. Jax finally opens up to Pomni in that headspace and it's far from impossible she can still talk to him in this state.
it's also not like Jax is the only trans/queer character. Zooble is nonbinary/genderqueer and makes it through the entire show, is given emotional depth and weight to their own dysphoria and character struggles, and then gets to end the show with their human self opening a successful (implied) queer bar and their digital self having epic gay sex!! (entire theater cheered and clapped at that btw)
like. look me in the eyes. do you think that a trans woman show creator would write a trans woman character just to kill her out of malice?? like do you think she was maybe trying to say something with the abstractions and Jax's repression and the fact there is still hope and time for him and his human self?? are we operating on this level of media literacy or are we just looking for things to get mad at
"i saw the tv glow is transphobic bc the main character never comes out"-ass thinking
Jax wasnât even the only suicidal queer woman in the show in the main cast! One of the last things you hear about Gangle in the outside world is sheâs ârecovering from her injuries,â and the strong implication is that the car accident we see in the end of her Spudzyâs shift was a mirror to some sort of Attempt in her real life. So! This is much more a story about Lots of different queer folks (and Grant is there too) responding to life and trauma in different ways and maybe just because youâre sad your fav didnât get the ending you wanted doesnât mean the whole thing becomes problematic when you need to pick and choose your arguments so much to defend that analysis.
Don't get me wrong I love my family but they're all liberal and get really defensive if you imply their allyship sounds performative. There's a rainbow flag on the property and we're the only ones in town who have one. It has been stolen and destroyed before.
I am not coming out as anything I haven't already.
Like. It isn't like I haven't tried to tell them. And my sibling. Who doesn't engage with me about it. But I don't think we understand what I mean when I say I'm gender ambivalent and that any pronouns work. Because we always default to the set they've always used. Which is fine. I'm fine with it. It's fine.
Head in my hands while I think about when my sibling came out and my mother thought it would be appropriate to talk to me privately in the car (note how I am unable to dodge this conversation because the car is moving) about how hurt SHE was that my sibling would ever consider changing their name because the name SHE picked for them had "so much meaning" and now their current name reminds HER of a transgender woman she knew YEARS ago with too much whimsy who became a drug addict I guess??????
And I had to sit there and listen to this whole in the car about my transgender sibling and how hurt and disappointed and frustrated our mother was about the fact they changed their name.
And then I had to tell her that. I picked my sibling's chosen name. It was a nickname I came up with that they really liked while they were trying things out. And that the meaning she thought it had was incorrect. And I explained the actual thought behind it.
Kattigan Vale the type of guy to climb into your house via the side window on the first visit and then ask you if itâs ok to swear and if you have a liberal family on the next.
