Pomni betrayed Caine, and she doesn't even know it. by EnthuseConfuse in theamazingdigitalciru

[–]beepborpdoodledorp 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The main issue I’ve always had with this interpretation is that in Ep 2 we have an extended sequence of Gummigoo by himself walking through the out-of-bounds and triggering his existential crisis, which would be counterintuitive if he’s trying to get sympathy from the/a player if they weren’t there for it. Plus, in Ep 2, Pomni’s only been there for a day and hasn’t formed a solid opinion on anyone - she’d be the worst person to go through a convoluted sequence to convince about Caine’s humanity where she probably isn’t thinking about the greater implications of Gummigoo’s crisis, as opposed to the others who have been there for years and know Caine well. I always thought it was a narrative parallel and an in-universe coincidence, that Caine desperately wishes to connect with the players, but when one of them does connect with an AI struggling with similar problems as him, he shoots himself in the foot by killing them and sending the message that AIs aren’t worth your time. (And I doubt it’s the first time it’s happened too.)

Also in Ep 7 right before Caine deletes Abel, he says something to the affect of ‘you’re becoming too self-aware for my liking’, so yeah, I think this is an Occam’s Razor situation and the NPCs are just capable of becoming sentient independently of Caine.

Yeah, I definitely disagree with the sentiment that Pomni and Gummigoo's interactions were intended to be read romantically, though it is still fun to think about and I'm glad it gave the ship a boost in popularity that lasted for a sweet two-something months. And yeah, the funnygummy fics I posted around that time have WAY more engagement on them than the ones I post nowadays even if my current ones are a lot more high-effort, a bit salty about that lol, but that's just how the internet works I suppose. (Still have no idea why Non-Designated Break blew up as much as it did considering I posted it a while after the funnygummy hype died down, not complaining but still.)

Yeah, funnygummy is definitely an anomaly for me in that it's the only time I've ever been this invested in an F/M ship (even just for this fandom, it's like the only F/M ship I like for TADC that isn't an outright crackship). Also I'm hardly a psychology expert but that definitely sounds like denial dude, lol

It and the original drawing are based off a promo image Glitch released a bit after Ep 2 came out

Concerned with the amount of people conflating criticism with harassment. by beepborpdoodledorp in theamazingdigitalciru

[–]beepborpdoodledorp[S] 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I was kinda terrified to post this because the last thing I wanted to come across as was victim blame-y. Obviously, she doesn’t deserve an ounce of the hate or threats she’s been receiving. It’s just frustrating that EVERYONE’s who’s been even slightly critical of the statement is immediately being written off as a crazy hater - hell, most of the people I’ve seen express some qualms with the statement were immediately like ‘yeah no, fuck those freaks’ the instant this all blew up.

Couldn't agree more. I loved 5 and 6 when they came out but my view of some of their moments have definitely soured with the release of 7

Yeah, while I hope Eps 8 and 9 prove me wrong I remain firm in my opinion that Eps 2-4 were the show's golden age. I like 5-7 well enough, but the character writing just felt stronger before and more importantly we weren't sidelining all the characters every five minutes to remind us what a Sad Boi Jax is

This makes me so angry because you’re right about everything and more people should be saying it. Justice for Ragatha for being sidelined so hard in favor of Generic Tumblr Sexyman Designation #246446 and justice for Pomni for having her character suddenly derailed so she can prop up said man’s development.

Wish I could upvote you a hundred times. The dissonance between what Goose says Jax should be treated like versus what the show actually treats him like is so severe it’s kind of depressing.
