Anyways, here's a funny tweet from Gooseworx. We love when a creator just does foreshadowing in a random twitter post.

We got Jax being transfem confirmed this year, I cannot handle Ralsei also being confirmed this year. What are the chances of two theories I've been believing so hard for so long becoming canon all during the same pride month? I've been on board with Ralsei being trans since 2018 too. It was just a fun thing at first, but since then, it became something I believe in so much, like it means so much too me. Then there's Jax, which I also joined the whole "transfem theory" train purely just for fun, because that's how that community started too. People just liked the Halloween art Gooseworx made, then learned Jax was a self-insert, and then we saw Gooseworx weird tumblr posts that were being oddly specific, and then people were starting to go, "You know, it would be funny if Jax was trans." Since then, something that started just for fun became more and more believable through the episodes, which made it so much deeper for me.

I just don't know how to react. I cried in the theater while watching 'The Last Act' because I just didn't believe we could actually have it. It just felt so distant to have any form of trans representation this year considering everything that has been going on, good representation too, and while I believed Gooseworx would do it, it still felt like a shock when it happened. Now, I've been playing through Chapter 5, and god, Ralsei being trans is shining so bright that it's like blinding me, I mean It's basically canon. I don't know if I can handle two theories I loved so much becoming canon back-to-back during the same pride month about the same topic.

Another stupid analysis post from me about a scene I found funny (and ironic) in the finale. (Totally not making excuse for me to ramble about Jax, why would I do that?) Anyways here's the scene:

We as a viewer obviously knew she was lying her ass off at the first part of the scene (at least if you went to watch the movie with the mindset that she is trans).

But she does not only lie to the viewers face, she is also a massive hypocrite seconds later to everyone in the room, and that's the part I find extremely ironic (but not surprising).

It's kind of hard to notice at first because she managed to beat the record of being a hypocrite out loud towards her own philosophy in literal seconds (I'll say it, kind of impressive), but here it is.

"Oh It's just merch It doesn't mean anything" Hm.

(A bit of a small analysis of past episodes now the show has ended)

I can already see it, transfem Jax will happen, but because of all the stuff happening, people will deny it and say it's another flaw from goose's writing. That or they will ramble how the obvious trans character isn't actually trans, but a critic on how men should be able to be feminine, and that us calling Jax trans is actually ruining the so-called "message" for men. Because you know, a trans woman would totally self-insert herself as a "feminine man" in her own show.

Then, after making obviously transphobic rants about how Jax being trans is either fanservice or not the actual message, they will also pull the "death of the author" thing (that no one uses correctly anymore) and disregard canon altogether purely to keep the sexy Tumblr man they thirst for because they never actually liked the character and only cared about how "hot" and "mysterious" Jax was.

Basically finally showing who actually liked the character and who was purely just thirsting for her. Because either these people like it or not, if it is canon, then it was written from the start to be canon. Goose has stated she hasn't changed the story at all besides some writing mistakes, which means Jax was a woman through the whole show, since the start, and never the man these people wanted, or a man at all for that matter.

(Which would break the whole problem of the show being "male centered" since we actually followed a woman's self discovery and not a man's. I do know however, that people will still think the show is male centered, because in their eyes Jax will always be a man. It's either that or they will rant that a trans woman's experience is just "not the same thing", making it still male centered.) (I could rant a lot about how people don't believe trans women's experiences as womanhood, and if a show is centered around them, people will label the show as "male centered" regardless of the show's message, but if I were to rant about that I'd have to make a whole powerpoint with 100 pages.)
