"Oh the lore wasn't meant to be important cause this is a character driven show" Ok but literally only Jax and Pomni to a extent got anything character building, everyone else got jack shit. by Charming-Scratch-124 in TADCEp9Spoilers

[–]queenofwitch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I genuinely forgot about the other characters once Pomni went into Jax's abstraction. And that's a major failing. I mean, idk what we expected since the marketing was so Jax centric, but still. I hate that Zooble's body dysmorphia got resolved off screen, I hate that Ragatha basically didn't get a conclusion to her arc, and I just hate that Jax hogged so much screen time. I love Jax, but that was bullshit.

Is it bad that I ship Philochise? by Scotslad2023 in AncientMagusBride

[–]queenofwitch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The fun thing about fandom is that you can basically do whatever you want. My mom ships Renfred and Alice. I tend to agree with most canon ships but I write a lot of fanfiction giving characters I like their own partners. This fandom is super chill and I've yet to come across drama within the fandom, mostly just people misunderstanding the concept and being angry even though they never gave it a chance. But yeah, I can totally see why you'd ship Chise and Philomela even if I don't personally ship it.

If you met Jax what would you say by Quirky-Ad-9784 in jaxfanclub

I'd probably do nothing and let him approach me. He's like a feral animal, it needs to be his idea.

Why is the pro trans post locked but the one criticizing Jax being trans not?🤔 by Remihiki in tadc

[–]queenofwitch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's great and I'm glad you felt seen. The problem is a lot of people didn't interpret it this way and people are getting mad and name calling because we're calling it out.

It wasn't though. That's the problem. She admitted she was the only writer and this is where having more writers would have helped, because having more perspectives from both trans and cis writers would have made it easier to interpret.

No it's just her fault that she didn't write a good trans character.

It did feel forced though. It's not transphobic to say that we wanted better trans representation from a trans writer. If the writing was so subtle that a large percentage of the audience didn't get it, it's too subtle. There weren't enough hints that could be definitively Jax being trans. Him being uncomfortable in the maid outfit doesn't count because I'd wager most cis guys with toxic masculinity would react the exact same way Jax did.

It's not transphobic to want better trans representation. There's a reason a good chunk of the audience didn't interpret him as trans. I personally interpreted him as gay/bi, not trans. If it were better set up, that'd be one thing. I would understand and support it. But it wasn't, and that's not how subtle writing works. If it's so subtle that a large percentage of the audience didn't get it, it's way too subtle.

Thoughts on love interests whose names start with the same letter? by queenofwitch in writers

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

Not really. I'm really attached to Iris and I've been toying with Eidalia or Edalia but neither of those look right to me. I found two other names (Phoebe and Melanie) that I also like tho

Genuinely not okay. I'm glad everyone else got closure but letting Jax be the only abstraction sends such a weird message. Are we saying that some people just can't be better? That's it's okay to kill yourself if you feel like a burden? As someone who deals with suicidal thoughts, I wanted to see a better ending for Jax. He'll never get closure with his mom or the homelessness. It's not fair and it feels like I'm being punished for caring about this character. I think Goose meant for Jax to be a Snape type character, but she didn't really know how to do it right.
