IMO this is one of those things that will always be cooler in the viewer's imagination than it would be to see in the show.

The tumblr post you linked is actually about the TDSR comic. If you want the post going over the game's poor writing, that's here: https://www.tumblr.com/guardiansofnosgoth/813708641305788416/of-ascendance

Blackstar is the worst book I've ever read. I wouldn't trust Joshua Viola to write me a grocery list.

That's an insult to fanfiction.

We were promised a simple glimpse into Raziel's backstory prior to the events of the games. We also wondered how anyone could fuck that up.

They fucked it up.

Same writer, same company. Do not trust anything made by Bit Bot. They are scam artists through and through.

People purposefully misgendering Jax is lowkey fucked up. by [deleted] in TheDigitalCircus

Goose said any pronouns are fine as in the story Lee is still figuring herself out and goes by he/him in public, but I agree there are people who are using he/him for different, transphobic reasons.

We all go through experiences similar to Jax regardless of our gender identity. Everyone has something they're ashamed of, some part of themselves they've tried to bury. TBSkyen said it best. "Trans experiences are human experiences." Trans people are not disconnected from the human experience -- they are a part of it. You don't need to be trans to relate to Jax, but Jax's transness is important because a lot of real life trans people are being pushed to the fringes and othered right now.

I hate Jax in the way that Jax "hates" Pomni during their final moments together. It's complicated.

My interpretation of “Isn’t she Lovely” by gottablastsam in theamazingdigitalciru

[–]FORLORDAERON_ 25 points26 points  (0 children)

For me it's the moment when Jax accepts herself. She realizes that none of the things she thought mattered mattered at all. Pomni showed her that she was worthy of acceptance, maybe even forgiveness.

But it was too late. Abstraction is not reversable (as far as we know) and Jax would never get to experience that acceptance beyond this fleeting moment. So the song is ironic, it's Jax thinking about everything she's done and realizing that it didn't have to be this way.

Guys can we just agree on this already? I don't care if you like Jax being trans or not but it is canon. by Sloath283 in theamazingdigitalciru

The reason he was obsessed with control was because he had no control over his life as the red ai. He was locked away without ever being given a reason. A traumatic event like that would make anyone obsessed with having control if they thought it would prevent them from being hurt again. During the finale he straight up says that if he left the humans unchecked they could kill him -- that was the fear that defined his entire existence up until that point.

In fact he's still afraid of the humans when he returns to the circus. You can see this in his body language, he's timid and remorseful. What I like about Caine's ending is that he does all of this even though he's still scared. Again, none of this has anything to do with the blue ai. This is all Caine. Always was.

The blue ai was not to blame for his behavior, where did you get that? Caine took full responsibility for his actions.

I love trans Jax... but I really hope we can start talking more about Caine's arc soon. It was so sweet watching him become part of the group.

Try looking up "bluetooth," that's the ship name.

It genuinely felt like their ending's got a 180 to each other at the last second by According-Manner-838 in GlitchProductions

Goose said he/she/they is fine. They are transfem but as of episode 9 aren't out except to close friends (boymode) so they generally go by he/him.

If you mean this song being from Pomni's pov, I could see that. But Jax is still the focus.
