Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,660
So episode 6 ended kind of tragically
with Jax pushing Pomni away and then
2
00:00:04,660 --> 00:00:08,440
nearly abstracting in the bathroom
during the awards show. But even though
3
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:12,220
literally said to Pomni that she should
leave him alone, we could see that Pomni
4
00:00:12,220 --> 00:00:16,860
noticed how strange Jax acted after
their fight and that he had to rush out
5
00:00:16,860 --> 00:00:17,960
during the awards show.
6
00:00:18,180 --> 00:00:22,060
So this makes me think, what if Pomni is
gonna be able to save Jax from
7
00:00:22,060 --> 00:00:26,480
abstracting? I mean, Pomni is probably
the one who actually witnessed Jax's
8
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:27,500
breakdown firsthand.
9
00:00:27,740 --> 00:00:31,300
And even though it seems like he
threw... her picture in the trash and
10
00:00:31,300 --> 00:00:34,920
to forget him. She's not gonna just walk
away from someone who's clearly
11
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:39,040
struggling, especially when she was just
starting to get closer to him and maybe
12
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:40,560
even understand him a little bit.
13
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:43,300
And here's the thing that makes this
even more interesting.
14
00:00:43,700 --> 00:00:47,520
Gooseworks once said on Tumblr that
Pomni doesn't like being touched, but
15
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:52,240
still hugs Jax, which means that this
moment was so significant that she
16
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:56,820
past her own comfort zone to try and
connect with him, and that's not
17
00:00:56,820 --> 00:01:00,980
you just forget or give up on. And for a
moment, it looked like Jax was also
18
00:01:00,980 --> 00:01:03,580
enjoying the physical contact and what
it meant.
19
00:01:03,860 --> 00:01:06,320
But then something switched and he
started panicking.
20
00:01:06,540 --> 00:01:11,000
So the question is, can Pomni actually
save Jax or is trying to help him gonna
21
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:12,400
end up destroying her too?
22
00:01:12,700 --> 00:01:16,380
Because we saw what happened when she
tried to connect with him after they had
23
00:01:16,380 --> 00:01:20,420
great time during the adventure. He
completely lashed out and pushed her
24
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:24,600
And if Pomni doesn't respect his
boundaries and she goes after him,
25
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:29,010
more answers or contacts, maybe he's
gonna pull her down. down too and
26
00:01:29,010 --> 00:01:32,250
her, just like how Raggeda said that he
was corrupting her.
27
00:01:32,510 --> 00:01:35,290
You know, getting close with Pawnee.
28
00:01:35,900 --> 00:01:36,940
Who? Corrupt her?
29
00:01:37,260 --> 00:01:41,240
Like, Jax is in such a dark place right
now that he genuinely believes that
30
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,800
getting close to people is what causes
them to abstract.
31
00:01:44,140 --> 00:01:48,340
So in his mind, pushing Pomni away isn't
him being cruel, it's him trying to
32
00:01:48,340 --> 00:01:52,580
protect her from ending up like Cosmo
and Ribbit, or maybe he is trying to
33
00:01:52,580 --> 00:01:56,260
himself from the trouble of getting
close and then losing someone
34
00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:00,900
But I think this is exactly why Pomni is
gonna be a bit distant at first and try
35
00:02:00,900 --> 00:02:05,220
to talk to Ragata about Jax's past, like
how he lost his friends or what really
36
00:02:05,220 --> 00:02:09,060
- happened to him and maybe this is how
we're gonna learn more about him and not
37
00:02:09,060 --> 00:02:13,380
by Jax opening up himself but through
other people's memories and experiences
38
00:02:13,380 --> 00:02:18,440
because Ragata has been in the circus
longer than anyone except Kinger and she
39
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:22,360
probably knows way more about what
happened to Kaufman and Ribbit than
40
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:26,100
letting on right now and maybe there was
also a history of Jax and Ragata
41
00:02:26,100 --> 00:02:31,180
because Ragata also said I think I might
have healed Palmy
42
00:02:32,300 --> 00:02:33,700
Just like I feel Jax.
43
00:02:33,900 --> 00:02:38,060
And if Pomni is really determined to
help Jax, she's gonna need to understand
44
00:02:38,060 --> 00:02:41,060
why he's so scared of connections in the
first place.
45
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:42,740
But here's where it gets complicated.
46
00:02:43,220 --> 00:02:47,280
Because I think the other circus members
are gonna try and warn Pomni about Jax
47
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,240
and tell her that she shouldn't bother
with him. Because even though I'm
48
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:54,300
guessing that Jax wasn't always like
this, I think that Ragata tends to
49
00:02:54,300 --> 00:02:57,980
that. And yeah, I'm not saying that we
should just forget about all the bad
50
00:02:57,980 --> 00:03:01,980
things that Jax has done. But the trauma
he went through could explain a lot. of
51
00:03:01,980 --> 00:03:05,980
things, and people can't heal or grow if
they keep being defined by their
52
00:03:05,980 --> 00:03:09,940
mistakes. So yeah, it kind of feels like
this is what Ragata is doing, and she
53
00:03:09,940 --> 00:03:13,960
also believes that this is how she helps
Pomni, and even Gangle and Zubo might
54
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:18,360
tell Pomni that Jax is not worth
fighting for, and that he was always
55
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,320
where he pushed people away, and that
she should just focus on protecting
56
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:25,440
herself instead of trying to save
someone who doesn't want to be saved.
57
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:29,740
thing is, Pomni kind of grew to care
about Jax in the past two episodes, and
58
00:03:29,740 --> 00:03:32,660
saw a side of him that maybe the others
never got to see.
59
00:03:32,900 --> 00:03:36,220
So she's not gonna just give up on him,
because everyone else says it's
60
00:03:36,220 --> 00:03:40,100
hopeless. And I do think that Pomni is
gonna be the one that keeps reaching out
61
00:03:40,100 --> 00:03:43,820
to Jack, even though she'll only find
walls around him. Like, she's probably
62
00:03:43,820 --> 00:03:47,900
gonna try different approaches, maybe
leaving a note for him, or trying to
63
00:03:47,900 --> 00:03:48,900
him when he's alone.
64
00:03:49,060 --> 00:03:52,800
But what if Pomni is also getting closer
to abstracting? Because we saw in
65
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:56,720
episode 6 that it was sort of like she
wanted to shoot herself. And even though
66
00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:00,590
that didn't mean that she would have
died, the act of shooting yourself but
67
00:04:00,590 --> 00:04:04,810
human, like it was this moment where she
was thinking about self -destruction in
68
00:04:04,810 --> 00:04:08,490
a very real way, which is honestly
terrifying when you think about what
69
00:04:08,490 --> 00:04:09,830
abstraction really represents.
70
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:14,680
And when during their argument, Palmy
said to Jax to fight her back, maybe she
71
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:19,240
realized that despite Jax being violent
all the time during the adventures, in a
72
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:23,500
vulnerable situation like this, she can
get through to him by being firm or
73
00:04:23,500 --> 00:04:27,360
confrontational. So maybe she'll try a
different method next time, like maybe
74
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:31,260
she'll approach him with more patience
and understanding instead of trying to
75
00:04:31,260 --> 00:04:35,520
force him to open up. Because what Jax
really needs isn't someone to fight him
76
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:37,480
or argue with him about his behavior.
77
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:41,520
What he needs is someone who's gonna sit
with him in his darkness without trying
78
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,200
to immediately fix everything.
79
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,320
But here's what's really scary about
this whole situation.
80
00:04:46,820 --> 00:04:50,840
If Pomni keeps trying to save Jax and he
keeps pushing her away more and more
81
00:04:50,840 --> 00:04:55,420
violently, she might start to spiral
herself, like she might start thinking
82
00:04:55,420 --> 00:04:57,260
she's not good enough to help anyone.
83
00:04:57,500 --> 00:05:01,380
Or worse, she might start believing that
maybe Jax is right and nothing really
84
00:05:01,380 --> 00:05:05,980
matters. And if that happens, then
instead of Pomni saving Jax from
85
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,600
we might end up with both of them
getting closer to losing themselves.
86
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,800
would be absolutely devastating for
everyone in the circus.
87
00:05:13,370 --> 00:05:17,210
And since we don't really have any
information about episode 7, like we did
88
00:05:17,210 --> 00:05:21,050
about the previous episodes, where
Gooseburg shared which episode is gonna
89
00:05:21,050 --> 00:05:24,510
about which character, well, episode 7
is a complete mystery.
90
00:05:24,770 --> 00:05:28,590
So for all we know, maybe it's gonna be
a flashback episode, where we could see
91
00:05:28,590 --> 00:05:32,910
Kaufman, Ribbit, and maybe even Queenie,
while they were actual characters and
92
00:05:32,910 --> 00:05:36,730
not abstractions. And then we could see
how they were. Like, were they actually
93
00:05:36,730 --> 00:05:40,810
friends with Jax, and maybe even Ragata,
and what went down between them. I
94
00:05:40,810 --> 00:05:44,550
think it would be a super cool way to re
- dig deeper into the history of the
95
00:05:44,550 --> 00:05:48,530
circus and the characters and how they
changed since they first spawned in.
96
00:05:48,750 --> 00:05:52,510
But maybe it's also possible that Pomni
is gonna get into the mindset that Jax
97
00:05:52,510 --> 00:05:56,610
was kind of pushing onto her in episode
6, where he said that nothing really
98
00:05:56,610 --> 00:06:00,890
matters in the circus and Pomni
shouldn't worry about shooting her
99
00:06:00,890 --> 00:06:04,990
maybe Pomni is gonna slowly become more
like Jax, and maybe unconsciously. But
100
00:06:04,990 --> 00:06:08,490
then that would also change the dynamic
of the whole group. Like, just imagine
101
00:06:08,490 --> 00:06:12,920
Ragata realizing that Jax's effect was
rubbing off on to Pomni. She would
102
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:17,120
literally lose it. But if Pomni wouldn't
be available to help Jax, then maybe
103
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,820
Kingar is gonna step up, and just like
how he was there for basically everyone
104
00:06:20,820 --> 00:06:24,560
at this point, and help them through
their struggles, maybe it's possible
105
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:26,060
he could also help Jax somehow.
106
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:30,160
Like, maybe Jax is gonna get caught off
guard by Kingar's wisdom in the dark,
107
00:06:30,280 --> 00:06:34,320
and that could push him to open up. And
maybe I'm being too optimistic here, but
108
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:35,960
it would be a full circle moment.
109
00:06:36,280 --> 00:06:40,320
Though I think there's a possibility
that Pomni's determination to help Jax
110
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:44,000
might actually be exactly what he needs.
And not because she's gonna magically
111
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:48,320
fix all his problems, but because she's
showing him that someone cares enough to
112
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,820
not give up on him, even when he's at
his worst.
113
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:54,600
Like, maybe the reason Kaufman and
Ribbit abstracted wasn't because Jax
114
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:58,420
corrupted them, but because they didn't
have anyone who was willing to fight for
115
00:06:58,420 --> 00:07:00,320
them when they started to lose
themselves.
116
00:07:00,580 --> 00:07:04,460
And now Pomni could be different and
actually fight for him. And you know
117
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:05,740
Maybe that's gonna be enough.
118
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:10,060
Maybe seeing someone care about him that
much is gonna crack through all those
119
00:07:10,060 --> 00:07:13,920
walls. was he built up. Or maybe it's
gonna make him even more desperate to
120
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:17,020
her away because he's so terrified of
losing someone else.
121
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:21,560
But either way, Palmley trying to help
Jax is probably gonna force both of them
122
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:25,360
to confront some really deep stuff about
themselves and what it means to be
123
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,520
human in a place where humanity is
supposed to be forgotten.
124
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:33,280
But the question is whether Palmley can
reach Jax before he completely abstracts
125
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,940
and whether she can do it without losing
herself in the process because
126
00:07:36,940 --> 00:07:40,810
honestly, saving someone who's
determined to this destroy themselves
127
00:07:40,810 --> 00:07:44,570
the most dangerous thing she could
possibly try to do in the digital
128
00:07:45,050 --> 00:07:46,290
But let me know what you think.
129
00:07:46,550 --> 00:07:51,130
Can Pomni actually save Jax from
abstracting or is trying to help him
130
00:07:51,130 --> 00:07:54,090
up destroying both of them? Let me know
down in the comments.
