Alright I’m just gonna go out on a limb here and reassure you bunnydoll lovers after episode 6.
No, I’m pretty sure we’re not doomed.
No the ship is not dead. they are just, technically, a very…very slow slow burn, and I do believe also that they have a complicated relationship. I really do think they, deep down, care for eachother a lot. Goos is such a smart and understanding writer and this show is amazingly good. So I trust them with this.
So that’s why I come here to tell you that I honestly think Goos is building them up, just in a more quieter, subtle, and slow way. (The ships will never be canon I know but I just really love the relationship those two have in general)
Because honestly I feel like some of you fans of the show just aren’t realizing the affect these two have on eachother 😭. They only ever rethink their morals and choices when they are around eachother. They seem to be their most honest selves, and how the mask those two put on seem to break a little, pushing eachothers buttons first before anyone else does.
I think Both Jax and Ragatha have that potential to be each others safe space and fill the void of being understood. Because with Jax in episode 5 we saw him trying to push Ragatha to be more “mean”, but I honestly think that’s code for Jax wanting her to be more honest with herself and let loose a little when she’s feeling overwhelmed. And like pomni said.
And you see how they both honestly have that reluctant softness with one another? When Ragatha was talking about her mom and her past. immediately right after that scene, we see Jax be thoughtful, his expression is almost like a look of softness, rethinking, a little bit of guilt? And TO BE HONEST I have never seen him like that in any other scene or with any other character, but around Ragatha.
And THEN we see that again when Ragatha and Jax were fighting and bickering infront of pomni at the baseball game. And Ragatha (rightfully so) snaps at Jax, and he just goes on with his sarcastic comments.
But then when she apologizes to him, she’s genuine and doing this purposefully, because she’s not just apologizing for nothing, she’s being intentional and thoughtful, because she says “I’m sorry Jax. For…for bringing up that thing earlier”
And LOOK AT THIS SHITHEAD
He doesn’t say any come back, no snarky words, his expression softened, He’s speechless…and I even wonder to myself “why is he still looking at her?”. Like that HAS to mean something, there’s no way that goos is just gonna gloss over those moments of silence between them.
Not to mention They both have that same fear of losing people, they just cope very, very differently. Jax pushes people away to save himself from pain and misery of loosing someone by being toxic and mean to everyone, while Ragatha tries to please everyone and make sure they are happy, even if it means not taking care of herself. And honestly part of why she’s doing this too is because of how she had a hard life growing up with her abusive mom. so In this new life, she tries to become the opposite of her mom, which means being attentive, reassuring, kind, loving.
She has attachment issues and he has abandonment issues…💔
And let’s not forget, How often Jax thinks and talks about Ragatha. Brother can NOT shut up about her.
Especially in this scene. Buddy…why are you thinking so hard about her and what she does? She’s the only one where Jax gets curious and wonders about.
I really like that he wants to push her buttons enough to see the REAL her, and challenging her sometimes about her kindness and the thought of being happy all the time, especially when he was trying to be friends with pomni.
And how he thinks about her or always has Ragatha on his mind even when he’s not with her? And she’s always the FIRST on his mind, and you see it more in episode 6
And also, I would notice too that Ragatha would challenge his point of view too, he just wants things to be fun and no hardships, when pomni was getting serious, he was starting to break a little. And I think it…maybbeee reminded him of Ragatha? Maybe after what happened to them on episode 5, where I think it’s the episode that Jax started to see Ragatha in a different light, in episode 6 he’s trying to get away from that.
Also I want to mention. When u watch episode 6 and get to the part where Jax surprises Ragatha by saying “howdy howdy” (imo I think it’s a jab of how Ragatha is a farm girl and he’s mocking it a little) put ur subtitles and dub in Korean.
He literally says “hello, baby?” At least from how I translated 😭.
Ugh…They are so interesting it’s breaking my heart😭. They are so interesting and feel like we need to find puzzle pieces with them.
