I’m sure you all saw the redraw challenge on twitter: this is my take on it
Need more Jax fans and apologists and stans in my life
Reblog if you are one and I'll follow you back <3
Jax
Wonderland I was in wonderland
Jax. Weirdest dream you’ve had? I could probably make it weirder :)
Playing papa's freezeria but I had to make pizzas. For a secret achievement, I had to make Roy a pizza-themed ice cream but the only options were to put sprinkles on the pizza
Boing boing
happy trans day of visibility!
Enjoying the car ride
like, if you havent stopped to look at them, do, and then like think hard about it
Just, the fact that everyone gets the same score, even though they all had DRASTICALLY DIFFERENT experiences, really hammers home that it just doesnt matter how much effort you put in.
Like, how did Jax and Ragatha get the same scores as everyone else - Jax i kinda understand, everything is shitty, and he did help a bit after the "training video" (and WOW WTF was that-) but Ragatha??? Was kinda the coworker who comes to work drunk or high. And then kinda actively just makes things harder for everyone else. And im so glad that Zooble took her home and didnt leave her alone and that the others recognised that there was something wrong with her - but.. if you look at it objectively, she did a bad job. They both did. And they both got graded the same as everyone else.
And outta all of them, imo Zooble did the best job, yunno, head down just trying get to the end of their shift (HONESTLY SAME), and Pomni after them but. Yunno its all the same.
Then, somehow, Kinger, the guy that wasnt even there, got the highest grade!! Only way to win at work, dont play the fucking game!
But the part that really irks me is that, well, the reviews were done by Caine. Obviously yunno, upper management, but.. Caine was never on the floor with them. He didnt help them make the 300 burgers for the Glonk Queen or clean the bathroom or whatever. He doesnt know what its like. And the guy who has no idea what its like working in such a shitty environment is the one who judges you based on how well you can put up with aforementioned shitty environment, so obviously its not gonna reflect how bad it is.
And after Gangle got hit by a TRUCK (seriously where tf did that come from?), he just docks points. Doesnt seem to recognise that hey, that isnt a thing people just do, and this is actually concerning. And obviously, canonically, hes an AI so obviously hes not gonna understand, but it still drives home how people like this actually exist! People care this little!!
Idk what point im trying to make, but i think its this - dont bother actually trying at your job, no one is going to notice and its not gonna make a difference.
ALSO JAX WAS RIGHT! THERE WAS NO CAINE GIVEN CONSEQUENCE, THEY COULD HAVE JUST FUCKED OFF AND NO ONE WOULD HAVE CARED BECAUSE CAINE DOESNT SEEM TO UNDERSTAND WHAT MAKES A GOOD EMPLOYEE
ugh I feel so shitty focussing on everyones grade like their actual experiences dont matter, but i hope yall get the jist of what im saying
It kinda pisses me off to see people shaming Zooble & Jax for finding Kinger to be annoying / insane because they expect Zooble & Jax to feel some kind of empathy / sympathy about his wife’s abstraction. Zooble & Jax are both around HALF THE AGE of Kinger & Queenie, and I honestly believe that Zooble & Jax joined the circus AFTER Queenie’s abstraction and DO NOT KNOW THAT KINGER EVER HAD A WIFE. No character should be expected to feel empathy / sympathy about an event that they very likely are unaware of ever happening!!! I know I’m gonna get attacked for this and my heart is racing with anxiety as I type this because of that, but I’m just telling you what I believe to be the truth. I don’t intend to offend anyone with this so I’m very sorry if I did!!!
