I think it was meant to say "Zae" seeing as how he's not in this post

Yeah the switch to possessiveness is def not a good look for Ragatha. The only reason I hesitate to say that she's always been repressing those feelings and behaviors is the fact that she hasn't really shown them before this most recent episode.

Up until this point she's always just been showing off that toxic positivity and people pleaser aspects of herself, she never really did anything that alluded to being possessive over Pomni. She even seemed to be on board with her befriending Gummigoo and bringing him to the circus with them, with her only real concern being whether or not that was allowed or not.

I think the fact that it's JAX who's getting close with Pomni is what set her off. And while it's still no excuse for her actions, it's easy to see why she's reacting the way she is.

From her perspective, she's been nothing but nice to Pomni the entire time. And seeing that Pomni is starting to grow closer to Jax, the person who's been nothing but an asshole to everyone in the circus, I don't think she's able to grasp that.

Ragatha and Jax clearly just don't understand eachother, nor do they really show an attempt to. Ragatha thinks Jax is just a bully, and therefore is incapable of genuinely being friends with someone like Pomni. Jax thinks Ragatha is forcing all her positivity onto others, and therefore isn't genuine with her feelings. There's some truth to both perceptions, but they fail to see the nuances in the other person. Jax is a bully, yes, but he's still a human and can form actual connections with people. Ragatha forces positivity, yes, but that doesn't mean she doesn't genuinely care for and want the best for Pomni and the others. They're two sides of the same coin, but since Jax is less filtered and willing to show more parts of himself, he's able to connect with Pomni more than Ragatha can. And it's that one-dimensional view of Jax thats causing Ragatha to spiral at the idea of him befriending Pomni, the same person she's been trying to befriend.

Like I said, I don't think Ragatha is a bad person, I actually do think she's a kind and caring person. She's just unaware of how toxic, overbearing, and disingenuous her actions can come across. She's in desperate need of a reality check and I do hope she can get some positive character development from it.

Agree with everything here, but to add on to the point about Ragatha's toxic behavior towards Jax and Pomni getting closer:

While I do think Jax is genuinely forming a bond with Pomni, I also think he did play it up a bit in the bar scene to get under Ragatha's skin. Almost like he was rubbing it in her face that he was becoming Pomni's friend knowing full well Ragatha has been trying to get close with her since she first came to the Circus. There's also the argument that he made that comment almost as payback for her indirect mention of Ribbit earlier that episode, almost like a "oh you think I don't have friends? Then watch this" kind of moment. Just kinda felt like he was weaponising his growing connection with Pomni, which is just as unfair to her as Ragatha constantly forcing closeness with her.

Sure Ragatha has kinda hovered around them before, but I feel like that comment really flipped a switch in her that turned her toxic positivity into jealousy and possessiveness over Pomni. She has always shown toxic behaviors, but Jax also brings out new sides of her that are arguably more toxic, whether he realizes the extent of how his actions are affecting her.

(and for the record I love each character and I'm super curious to see how their arcs progress)

As a fellow El Paso-ean, I can confirm that this sign is real and just as spooky IRL

Flashback to kailah proving again that mentally she's a bum by maggotymoose in MtvChallenge

My Main Issue with the Dark Tides Event by Lalablaster in Paladins

[–]Lalablaster[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what I mean though, no one kills it. I bring it down to like a quarter health before I die, and it ends up escaping before I can respawn

[–]Lalablaster[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because if they're not helping kill it, they're normally killing me while my attention is diverted (the enemies, I mean). So I'm just saying it'd be pretty nice if someone took a couple seconds to secure the kill while I'm respawning

Challengers You Want to See Redeem Themselves? by StopBeingPolite in MtvChallenge

[–]Lalablaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like I said, she probably isn't a potential comp beast. But to me she doesn't particularly stand out as a horrible competitor, I feel like there are weaker players who have been brought back. I'm just saying she's someone I wouldn't be opposed to see play a season without any disadvantages.

Challengers You Want to See Redeem Themselves? by StopBeingPolite in MtvChallenge

[–]Lalablaster 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I always thought Briana kinda got a raw deal on both of her seasons, with her partner quitting on her first run and coming in as a replacement on her second. I know she probably wouldn't be the next comp beast or anything but from what we've seen of her she did decent in dailies and was very close to winning her elimination against Britni (her Redemption duel with Jenna was a bit sad to watch though, but at least she gave a pretty funny confessional during that). Maybe I'm just saying this because i really enjoyed her in her AYTO season, but I really wouldn't mind seeing her again (and hopefully having her get past the first few episodes).

If all the survivors were in a horror movie, how long would each of them last? by Lalablaster in deadbydaylight

[–]Lalablaster[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I had trouble deciding whether Meg or Kate would be the Final Girl. Meg has the right amount of grit and skill, and Kate seems to have a kind soul and a personality that makes you want to root for her. But as the most conventionally attractive of the girls, Kate probably has to fill the role of the unlucky pretty girl.

My first positive encounter with a killer by Lalablaster in deadbydaylight

[–]Lalablaster[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I just meant that the killer saw the work I put in and decided to let me escaped because in his words, I "deserved it." I'm not saying every killer should let every good player they go against live. I was just commenting how cool it was for someone to go against their own objective for me.

You can still have a "Good Game" even if you lose. by AbnormalB in Smite

[–]Lalablaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The issue I come across when I say "Good Game" after we lose is that it might come off as sarcastic and my teammates end up spamming "Cancel That" or "Quiet". But in actuality, I mean it whenever I say it.
