“i will bite your toes in joyous delight!”

Even if I didn’t ship Bunnydoll, Ragatha and Jax being close/friends before everything went to shit WOULD DEFINITELY BENEFIT THE STORY writing wise and tie both of their arcs together.

Not only would it make their parallels and dynamic deeper and relevant to the story, it would also rightfully explore shared themes of death, grief, friendship. Showing how losing loved ones can cause one to double down on their coping mechanisms while one drifts away from the other can symbolize how grief can affect a relationship.

In addition, it could also exemplify how staying in the past and fear to take risks can destroy the present you have now, especially with the ones you love. How grief can strike fear into happy individuals. How love and loss can cause strong bonds to strain and falter.

Both Ragatha and Jax fear vulnerability out of fear. Ragatha fears being open of herself and being exposed out of fear that everyone will hate her and dispose of her like a doll. Even if she’s close to fully befriending someone, she sabotages it. Jax fears being open of himself and being exposed out of fear that everyone will see his vulnerability and his true positive feelings of them.

So it got me thinking about with all the Bunnydoll crumbs we have here and the fact that is pretty much confirmed that Jax and Ragatha had a story together that not only includes Ribbit but this two (I'll post an analysis of what the future may offer and their individual personalities next week, so stay tuned!). But, after watching the episode, I remembered this other masterpiece episode and I thought "This is so before-Ribbit-abstracted Bunnydoll core".

And then we have the bitter exes-divorced-enemies-death Ribbit that we are seeing right now.
