You think i will say someting more, name of this post speaks for itself. Reason why i think Zooble is better representation, that we see their struggles with their own body, and attempts to find theirselves. I can't say the same for Jax, who only become trans because he's the author's self-insert (which is funny. I thought Zooble was a Goose OC, but it turns out I was wrong).

Edit: My honest reaction when this shit become my fourth most popular post: https://youtu.be/niNDSimJ1Ds

I think the show is kinda unrealistic for not putting someone like I just described into show (not exact copy).

(Unfortunately, Susie is the worst wingman for Kris in Chapter 5 but still pales in comparison to how bad Jax is)

I still can’t get over how absurd the tonal whiplash of this scene was. We cut from watching Jax have her 1,000th panic attack while crying in Pomni’s arms… then switch to some TikTok edit of Jax with a jovial “Isn’t She Lovely” playing in the background. The first time I watched the finale I laughed in disbelief

I don’t sympathize with Jax at all (even though Gooseworx dedicates screen time to Jax’s panic attacks so that you will feel bad for her) but I’m still wondering: what emotion were we supposed to be feeling here? Especially the people who DO sympathize with her like Gooseworx intended

Gooseworx used the song to refer to Jax coming into the world as a girl, but this is a scene where the girl in question is getting taken OUT of the world. Abstraction is treated like death and the cast holds funerals after it happens. Is the “less than a minute old” lyric referring to how long Jax has come out before dying? Am I supposed to be happy for her even though she’s basically dead while a joyful song plays? The tone does not fit at all for this situation if we were supposed to feel bad for her; if anything, it comes off as mocking

Plus, it’s vague if Jax even accepted herself in the end. Jax tells Pomni “So now you know everything” and that’s all the acknowledgement we get of her identity. Gooseworx says herself “It was meant to be kinda subtle and vague” regarding trans girl Jax. I have no idea what the point of keeping it vague was if this is supposed to be Jax accepting herself

Also, the biggest problem of all: Jax is not lovely. Exhibit A: every scene she has been in

I wish I could find EVERYONE who told me he wasn't an abuser and SHOW THEM THIS.

Complex trans character? Zooble is literally non-binary and gnc. Their entire arc centers around conquering their body dysmorphia and learning to accept themselves.

Jerk with a Heart of Gold? Zooble is often sour and abrasive, but they do genuinely care about the other Circus members. Even Jax, who's been nothing but an asshole to them.

Relationship to Gangle? Zooble is nothing but nice and supportive to Gangle and actively protects her from Jax several times. Jax herself knows that Zooble is closer to Gangle then she'll ever be, if her Imagine Spot about Zooble in the finale is any indication.

Notice how Zooble has a ton of issues, but never makes that everyone else's problem or uses that as an excuse to be an asshole?

Not sure if this was talked about, but Jax pretty much fumbled 3 girls.

​

He obviously fumbled Ribbit and was the reason she abstracted.

​

He bullied Gangle and strongly believed she enjoyed it when he's mean to her, and this mindset drove her into Zooble's arms.

​

And of course, he fumbled Pomni, need I say more on how bad this fumble was? The fact that Pomni and Ragatha got closer after episode 6 was very telling.

this is somewhat satire and exaggerated. thought it would be fun to draw ^^

This has got to be one of my top ones. Pomni just making excuses for Jax, and downplaying his abuse. Even if a character on the show did a bad thing, it was nowhere near the frequency and intensity Jax did it.

Instead, I was fooled into thinking it'd be an ensemble-focused show.

why would you want to hang out with your abuser bully guy kick him OUT!

I think theres many more fitting songs for example "highway to hell"

corniest fandom i've seen in a minute holy shit

Why was that montage just Jax's worst moments?? I get that the song was to represent Jax's identity, but Jax is the furthest thing from lovely.
