As someone who usually feels like the most annoying person and a total dead weight for my family and friends most of the time when im happy (most of the time its because i get overhyped by something i really like and get very energetic and verbal, which im usually none of that) these scenes DESTROYED ME.

not seeing enough posts about how jax literally was correct about how caine isn't gonna do anything even if they misbehave during the adventure

like he very much said nothings gonna happen and he was RIGHT because they all got the same score despite pomni flirting with gummygoo instead of taking the gloink queen's order, ragatha being high, and jax clocking off early and putting ragatha in the frier and saying he hates customers and... everything else he did. meanwhile zooble did their job so well and ALSO got a b+ like everyone else

tldr jax was right that they cant face consequences and the fact hes so confident in that probably makes the fact that hes an asshole make significantly more sense bc he has no reason to stop and also he's right that nothing they do in the circus matters. work hard? b+. get high and stop working to sit on the floor and make everyone elses lives harder? also b+

[look-at-that-right-there]

Love that Caine can't bear to give anyone a lower score than B+, which inadvertently means that Zoob being generally grouchy but going above and beyond by effectively covering 2 stations for a double shift gets the same ranking as the employee that got high on the clock and the one that deep-fried a co-worker.

As a person with bipolar disorder, I never thought I'd see a joke about mania I liked, but Gangle's struggles with her emotions and the heavy guilt for being over the top or needing help all the time was handled with so much care in her "episode". I feel respected and heard... Which is very rare.

Lots of people who are doting when your hurt in a thematically romance-able way, conveniently quiet or depressed and tragic, suddenly don't like helping or being around you, or even knowing you at all once your disabilities make you annoying, discomforting or angry. When your feelings are out of your control, and your hurt and overwhelming emotions disables you from being kind and helpful and happy, people are often much more disconcerted with you than bad behavior from a "normal" person. Sometimes it feels way lonelier than being stuck in a depressive episode somehow.

And you know they often don't mean to or don't know they're disrespecting Gangle, she seems to know too, but she sucks it up because she doesn't know how to "earn" help in either state, and the fear that a sudden surge of happiness will lead to a sudden great fall after solidifies the want to hide your "wrongness".

She is the very opposite of helpful here, but she tries her best, and having someone let her know it's ok for her to be around or have failed attempts to not bother those around her is all she needed to smile on her own face today. It doesn't fix everything, Zooble doesn't even correct her from saying she doesn't deserve their friendship, cause that's not something she will believe or needs to hear right now. She needs to know she still deserves and will get help and more tries, that there will still be people who will forgive and love her, that those who lose their patience with her right back will still want to spend time with her later.

The horrible ups and downs still haunt you, the long long journey to find the right treatment is exhausting, and it still won't ever get rid of all of it, but the episodes don't feel like their going on forever and always when someone will listen to you, wants to listen to you. Wants not just to help you, wants to spend time with you, wants you to be.

Also it is legitimately really funny to me she outright states she's going to weaponize her trauma to get back at Jax for his warcrimes lol. There isn't much out there better at making you feel less guilty about your mania than a legitimately evil person tbh. The manic episode having more seasons pun feels like something a bipolar person or someone who is trusted personally by a bipolar person would say, it legit made me giggle

This part here strongly implies that Gangle (IRL) had parents that forced her into a Shift Managing Job she didn't want to do. She was told that her dreams of making webcomics was "unrealistic".

"You Need to Stop Trying!" I'm sure she was directly quoting her parents at that moment. Clearly a hint of her tragic past!

[purpleender29]

Of all the things to have happened in TADC, I never thought Gangle nearly being isekaid by truck-kun would be one of them.

Abstragedy shippers, you absolutely fucking won today.

[drama-glob]

Oh Chad. What a sweet, summer child you are if you don't realize what you just said; then again, he's definitely not the brightest, so that's the more likely reason he just said that. ;) XD I love that Gummigoo seems to know what he was talking about though. ;) XD Also, I see you there Pomni creepily crawling towards them. XD XD XD
