I feel like this is a scary allegory for when it comes to having depression/emotionally-affecting mental illnesses in which… it’s never gonna stop.

Gangle took off her mask and was happy… but then it hit her once again.

Literally.

Gangle was crashing out that whole episode, good for her.

Oh yeah here's this whole argument if you guys wanted that.

Jax’s “acting normal” especially in his conversation with Pomni has about 2 explanations I’d say:

1. First and most simply- He doesn’t have the energy to torment someone in that moment. Just the easy conclusion to come to from watching the episode normally.

2. Second- That’s the “real” Jax, not the tormentor. Probably brought out by the realistic setting, and addition of consequences or “punishment.”

After Gangle asks Caine to make “punishments” and when he’s sent to his… “training” he looks genuinely disturbed and even afraid.

…Which is definitely something we haven’t seen from him yet! And then we see him act normally for the rest of the episode! This makes me think the Jax we see in the Circus, the bully, the asshole- He only acts that way because he is, or believes he is free from the consequences it would have in the real world. Having little reaction to Ragatha’s state, asking Pomni how she’s doing, and then following an order reflects how he acted in his real life, as an average or unassuming person.

Whether the jerk we usually see is a genuine expression, some kind of “mask” to hide something, or, most likely in my opinion, both. That’s not how he acted in his real life.

This episode is focused on Gangle, focused on her masks. But I think the theme of masks expands over the episode as a whole. Especially with Jax and Ragatha- Ragatha speaking her mind thanks to the “stupid sauce” (lol) and Jax being pushed into acting normal and almost even friendly. The opposite of what we’ve seen of them but undeniably realer or hidden versions of themselves.

The way this episode’s opening shows off the group dynamic is so fascinating to me bc it’s the first time we’ve seen them all interact in a more relaxed setting and the differences are staggering. Jax's teasing is more playful than antagonistic, Ragatha is relaxed, Gangle is left alone to doodle, and Zooble appears far more comfortable participating here.

Then Caine shows up and all of that goes out the window. Jax is back to glowering, Ragatha looks tense, Pomni doesn't look like she wants to be there at all, and Zooble is just gone.

This seems to imply that the main thing causing so much group dysfunction is Caine and his adventures. When left to their own devices the cast is calm and supportive but the stress of Caine's adventures causes them to lash out (Jax), overcompensate (Ragatha), fall apart (Gangle), or disassociate entirely (Pomni, Kinger, Zooble.)

It's hard to seek comfort when most people around you are all kind of crazy-overwhelming.

I did this comic before Episode 3 released not knowing what would actually happen but to no one's surprise, Kinger is actually quite a comforting Character... sometimes.

I do hope their friendships only grow stronger throughout the episodes. I'm very happy so far 😊
