It's pretty obvious that Jax is suffering from grief, but the worst part is he probably couldn't stand the thought of saying goodbye. There are some things in life that hurt you deeply, and one of those is the loss of a real friend, be it through drifting apart, a betrayal, or even death.
Jax probably never gave himself time to grieve because he thought he was the reason Ribbit abstracted. In Episode 6, Jax says 'Are you seriously gonna blame me for something that everybody else did too?!' Yes, defensive, yet out of nowhere and trying to assert he wasn't the only one in the wrong. A theory going around is that Ribbit abstracted after everyone distanced themselves from them because Ribbit was mean to everyone around them, with Jax being the last friend to stay. When Jax needed a break from Ribbit and had a breather before going back, Ribbit abstracted and everyone in the group thought Jax's meanness finally caused Ribbit to abstract.
This makes sense why he keeps being so mean to the others: it is who they see him as, so he'll continue being exactly what they expect him to be: a bully who wouldn't show up to his friend's funeral. This ostracization would lead Jax to torment the others as revenge for how they assumed the worst from him, and would be his only relief in a world without any more friends.
Jax won't abstract. It doesn't fit with the show's message of redemption, working on yourself, and how connection leads to meaning. Jax will probably go through his villain arc during Ep. 6-9, but in the end, he can only save himself from the same fate Ribbit went through: alone from constantly pushing others away.
Shout-out: Rigs made by @zayjax (THANK YOU!!!)
TL;DR: Jax was made out to be the villain, and he will continue to be a villain to punish the characters who assumed the worst from him.
To nobody's surprise, I am having another PHM Thought.
These dang ideas are getting longer and longer (or maybe I'm just getting yappier and yappier?), so this one gets a read-more cut.
This requires a little bit of plot-wiggling shenanigans to set up the premise of the AU. The idea that prompted this for me was -- the Hail Mary in canon has... kind of a lot of Stuff on it, yeah? Things that might be comforting for its doomed crew, but that aren't really essential, as far as Earth knows? Who could have predicted that the crew would have any use at all for an analog clock, for example? SO--
As Earth races to save itself, as Eva Stratt pulls Ryland Grace into her orbit along with so many others with the goal of saving their species, the residents of Earth are not the only beings invested in Earth's fate. You and I don't need to know the details of exactly who else is watching; in fact, it might be safer for us not to know. For the purposes of this tale, all that matters is that they are very powerful, but they are not permitted to outright deliver Earth's salvation on a silver platter -- Earth must stand or fall by its own merits.
But they can put a finger on the scales. Just a little nudge. Depending on how things turn out, no human might ever even notice anything amiss.
In this universe, when Rocky and Grace first meet and start sharing information, Rocky grills Grace for much longer with questions about Grace's ship. Something about it seems to... almost unnerve him? Grace just chalks that up to the whole idea of "traveling in an aluminum ship filled with oxygen" for an Eridian, and carries on.
Much of the plot of PHM as we know it does not change. Rocky acts a little twitchier when he first moves into the Hail Mary, and he sets up one or two odd-looking monitoring instruments inside his xenonite enclosure that Grace can't make heads or tails of from what he can see from outside. But in the end, Grace and Rocky are both aboard the Hail Mary and headed for Erid, modified Taumoeba and all.
One 'evening' by the Hail Mary's clock, Grace and Rocky get into an argument. The details aren't especially important; the two have been friends and shipmates for long enough now to figure out pretty quick that the disagreement is just a product of stress over Grace's steadily-decreasing food stores. Grace had spent the whole 'day' in fruitless attempts to coax new generations of Taumoeba into producing anything remotely like a vitamin or human-essential mineral, and he is just grumpy grumpy grumpy.
As the argument is dying down, one of those strange little devices sitting on Rocky's side of the xenonite walls suddenly goes nuts. Rocky instantly hurries over to prod and fuss over the little machine that's rattling and whistling and shrieking at him, while Grace claps his hands over his ears. He has no idea how that sound can get through the xenonite and still be so piercing that it feels like it's driving a spike right into the side of his head.
Seeking a bit of distance from that terrible noise, Grace shuffles quickly out of the lab and makes his way into the Hail Mary's storage compartments. The sound is a little more muffled in there -- enough to be bearable. As he lowers his hands and looks around, he reflects that maybe he hasn't been quite as organized in here as he should have been. Rocky's xenonite tunnel system only extends into a small corner of this area, which Rocky mostly uses for his own storage -- so although Rocky might badger Grace about keeping the lab and the dormitory tidy, Grace's part of this space receives no such bossy oversight.
Just as Grace goes to sit down cross-legged on the floor and wait out whatever Rocky's instrument is doing, something odd catches his eye. Okay, so maybe he's a bit messy when left to himself, but he DOES at least know what's supposed to be in here. It is, after all, rather important to the joint "Get To Erid" mission that Grace keep track of his vital supplies. And that box, that one right there? It looks just like every other storage box around it, but Grace would swear that it wasn't there before.
Grace walks over and unseals the box. He flips open the lid, picks out one item from within, and stares.
This container is packed to the brim with rectangular jars full of all kinds of vitamin gummies.
Slowly, Grace feels his legs give out beneath him and he drops to the floor, eyes darting between the jar in his hand and the inside of the box in disbelief.
So I'm working on a new essay about Thales and TWSITD, and I found out the topic at hand needs to go over Edelgard's reasoning behind her massive beef with Rhea and the Church. Very quickly.
So I made this for it. Maybe it can be of help to someone in the meantime idk.

connecting at least one of wifies' arg thingies. please bare with me i swear itll make kind of sense ((this is kind of a sleepless ramble simplified so open to feedback))
basically. summary of the point:
derek was just another experiment. propaganda against government wow
OK. SO. END OF DAWTDE. the government DMS has confiscated Derek's whole file and shebang and probably his corpse or somethin
relating back to another similarly named video, Finding a Player who Doesn't Exist. details the DMS in full. also details a poor soul named alex following the experimental procedures with Wifies themself acting as concerned and investigating all of this. gets controlled and they're testing the limits of how much people can be toyed with physically & mentally. but they discover that wifies has interfered with all of them
the Department of Metaphysical Sciences. A gov branch detailing usages of artificial technology and methods of messing around with people and stuff. right. why do they want Derek, this branch specifically??
this whole series is wifies talking to us through being watched. THE TITLES MATCH. THE END DESCS ARE VERY SIMILAR. THEIR EXPERIENCES ARE SIMILAR!! alex (protag of FAPWDE)'s story detailed following alex as they were manipulated by sounds and visions and feelings that kept him fixated. unable to look away from the game.
DEREK WAS MANIPULATED BY SOUNDS AND (notably) VISUALS AND FEELINGS THAT KEPT HIM FIXATED, UNABLE TO LOOK AWAY FROM THE GAME!!! (this is a maybe, but: what if the writing wasn't the anomaly, but the sounds and other, unrelated visuals kept avery and derek pliant to continue?? maybe its why they never turned away)
AVERY MIGHT BE A VICTIM OF THIS TOO. THE CHURCH. THE CHURCH SCENE IN PARTICULAR INTERESTS ME VERY, VERY MUCH, BUT I CANNOT CONNECT IT
just hmo. maybe wifies is telling us the continued story. wifies is apart of the story themselves. FRANTICALLY POINTS. THEYRE HIDING THE STUFF THEY'RE COVERING INVESTIGATING THE GOVERNMENT DMS BRANCH IN A MYSTICAL ARG-LIKE FORMAT AS TO NOT BE DISCOVERED
someone tell me if im going insane im LOSING IT over this. AVERY AND DEREK MIGHT NOT BE FICTIONAL. this is their story, but it isnt the king in yellow. maybe it's the closest story to it that they could disguise it as.
relating to derek's stuff being confiscated, my only idea is that they realized that that was a breach of information and stole it and maybe something regarding wifies. dawtde was the most recent post so no idea what may follow
DEREK WAS AN EXPERIMENT OF THE DMS. HES GOTTA BE
(i have no idea about avery BUT they dont seem to care v much about bystanders. either that or the actual person behind avery HAS been confiscated already)
i think im going insane this might just be rantslop but hear me out i plead of readers
Ill be the umpth person to say they want a chaotix origin story reveal and I do definitely want one just as much as the next guy! But.. I’m honestly really glad there isn’t a set origin for them? If that makes sense?
Like, the chaotix are awesome, and there are just.. soooo many different ways they could have possibly met. So many different scenarios. So many different possibilities. All just as likely and just as wonderful and just as filled with fun dynamics and found family goodness and!! I think apart of what makes the Chaotix so fun (other than their amazing dynamic. Like, genuinely, it’s been a while since I’ve seen a group in fiction that resonates so effortlessly well with each other) is that unknown aspect of their backstory. It allows for fans to step in and fill in the gaps, for people to share their two cents, etc etc.
So, while I would LOVE to have a spin-off game for the chaotix (seriously, I’d even make a fangame if need be) or just more of any form of content for them, I don’t think an origin story is of much necessity. I think, in all honesty, that their origins being shrouded in mystery lets the fans do a little detective work themselves, and that’s! really fun!!
