Canon is what is in the published, official media. Not what the creator said on twitter, in a interview, at a convention, on a form, in their diaries, or whatever. If they want to ad more stuff, make a new spin-off, a sequel, a prequal, anything. But as long as it isn't stated in the media it isn't canon.
The trailer for Not Alone actually seemed really nice for an Illumination film. I think Twitter is hating too much on the aliens. I'm not too fond of the idea myself, but maybe they won't be as bad as the Minions.

There's a trend going around of people putting "Isn't She Lovely?" over a montage of a random character who "dies" in a show and captioning it with "[show] if it was written by Gooseworx" and honestly I find that so validating and hilarious.
Completed chapter 5 normal route today (minus the secret boss and egg room). It was a fun chapter but definitely closer to ch 3 than 4 on the epicness scale. Really loved the 2D platformer mechanic, I hope we keep using that in future chapters! In terms of the characters, Aqua was far and away my favorite and she pretty much carried the whole chapter for me, I want to draw her so bad.
The famous single pixel smile the first time we see him talking to her🥰
Bro just sends her rambling texts and songs about whatever and whenever.
The way she's always glazing him and hyping up his cool guy persona and referencing his memes even if she doesn't always get them, she's so adorable!
He's so nervous about her watching him ahaha
He literally just found his own dead body and the first thing to pop into his mind is what Jade will feel if she sees it😭
More Jade being impressed by him, she's probably the only one of his friends who genuinely thinks he's cool in an unironic way.
And Dave going out of his way to help her and always reassuring her, he's more considerate of her in general than anyone else even if he loses patience with her sometimes.<3
Asks if she's okay first thing and then is immediately reassured that she is when he's told a future version of him is already talking to her aaaah
MORE Dave being gentle with her and reassuring her awww!
Idk why I just find it cute that both of them have never seen snow before and the first time they meet in person is in the snow, I hope they had at least one small snowball fight between gathering frogs! Also evidence of Jade knowing just as well as anyone else that Dave doesn't actually think of himself as cool, but unlike literally every other friend he has she doesn't get on his case about it, she just wants him to have fun and enjoy things with her! Also just them being goofy and sarcastic with each other.😋
Dave almost losing his cool over the whole "having to act normal around Jade knowing she would kill him soon" issue and how much he didn't want her to carry the burden of that knowledge😭
Jade apparently had a whole episode offscreen about Dave dying that Karkat had to calm her down, uuugh they're so tragic😭😭💔💔
This whole conversation was just so hilarious and full of married couple vibes but also a more genuine side of both of them and their feelings for each other pokes through ie Jade was actually hurt about Davesprite breaking up with her, way more than she let on to John, and Dave insists he would never have done the same to her.
HE DIED TRYING TO SAVE HER JUST HJNJGAHS JUST LOOK AT THEM MY TRAGIC DOOMED BABIES!💔💚❤️
SO. CUTE!!
Need I say more?🥰
I know the original context of this conversation kinda defies DaveJade's existence but all I saw through my tunnel vision was that Jade is special to him and always will be<3<3<3

Just saw the short ad where Caine has a nightmare about Pomni abstracting and goes to check on her and I'm like: oh NOW this is his greatest fear? Is this really the same guy who acted so flippant about abstractions before and just banished them into the cellar? Seriously, this is not Caine, this is a completely different character and I don't know where he came from!
Part 1 ended up turning into kind of a rant about how Jax's character was handled, and this one ended up turning into a rant about how Caine was handled (which I so far haven't seen ANYONE talk about even though it was fumbled just as hard). Honestly the more I think about this finale the more I dislike it, even though as an episode it was fine. But like I said before, a lot of the problems come from cramming too much into this final episode and not giving either Jax or Caine the proper resolutions they needed, and leaving virtually nothing for the rest of the cast.
Anyway more detailed thoughts under the cut:
+ I really liked the fakeout of Caine in the void turning out to be when he first got deleted rather than a continuation of episode 8 like I thought at first.
- But in my opinion the scenes of him running and then trying to get over the abyss to the door took waaaay too long.
- Also I am absolutely NOT a fan of his complete 180 attitude towards the humans. Where did the self awareness and consideration for their needs and understanding of their actions come from??? Episode 8 and all the episodes before showed us how incapable he was of understanding human emotions and how much he refused to listen to them whenever they explained! Now suddenly he just gets it and wants to make amends? What triggered this change? Just being "deleted"? This was one of the most shallow and abrupt redemptions I've ever seen for an antagonist! Seriously, if the whole Jax backstory had been done in a previous episode, we could've dedicated more of this finale to focusing on the ACTUAL plot surrounding Caine and the circus!
- Oh and I also really didn't like that it was apparently the blue AI that was "making" Caine have all those antagonistic thoughts about humans, what was with that Smeagol/Gollum argument? And then he was just completely fine, practically as sentient as a human, just by ripping it out of his head? Sure okay then! Might as well not have the main antagonist of the previous episode take any sort of responsibility for his actions, since we already excused the antihero protagonist for all HIS actions by just killing him off and showing his sad backstory too!! I guess that's just how we do things here!
+ SIGH... But I'll admit that part with the moon was cute.
+ It was cool getting all the characters' real names and real life personas, but Kinger being a girl dad was my absolute favorite!
- Still... as cool as it was, it felt a little tacked on? We don't get more details about C&A or the deal with the headset in the cafe or the other plot significant mysteries of the show, but the things fans liked making their own headcanons about is all spelled out for us in a slide show.
- Also I know it's the finale and we want a good ending even after Jax abstracted but it felt a little too fanciful that EVERYONE up leading good lives in the real world. Personally I'm gonna headcanon that putting on the headset somehow removed each of their worst traits that were holding them back - their "cancers" - and digitized them in the circus, and that's how their real selves were able to pursue their dreams more confidently afterward. I know it's a stretch and more on the supernatural side of things but I need at least SOMETHING to make some narrative sense here.
+ The credits scenes were pretty cute though, but they also make me laugh cause while we were watching them my sisters couldn't stop joking about how it was pretty much a montage of how much better life was without Jax and how much happier everyone was without him😂
Omg the funniest thing just happened: my sister's been playing Tomodachi Life for the past month, and she populated her island with a bunch of random fictional characters, including Jax, Pomni, N and Uzi. In the game Pomni became friends with both Jax and N, but N fell in love with her, and he finally decided to confess and ask her out. He did it at a diner where Jax ALSO happened to be at another table, and my sister, who really wanted Funnybunny and Nuzi to happen, was gunning for Jax to interrupt even though he doesn't have feelings for Pomni yet.
He actually did... but then Pomni shot both of them down.😂
It gets funnier: immediately after, N cheers up and decides to try again, this time asking her out in private with a gift of dog biscuits. Somehow this time it won her over and they've started dating.
My sister, not happy about this, decided to check in on Jax to see if he was alright after the rejection.
We see him running around happily in his pink girly room and he doesn't mention Pomni at all. Bro literally only confessed to her to screw with N.🤣🤣🤣 Funnybunny just wasn't meant to be I guess!

As with a lot of fandoms, I feel way less like the odd one out when it comes to the tadc finale after looking through Instagram and youtube. Things are just so much more enjoyable when everyone around you isn't tumblr-pilled.
