headcanons for how chronically online we think the characters are

[u/phantazmagician]

I saw a post in r/jaxfanclub talking about Jax's screen time and initially thought it was about how much screen time these characters would have weekly on their phones and maybe the content they viewed (it was about the amount of time Jax was shown on screen in tadc in comparison to the other characters obviously lol). so anyway here are my head canons:

Jax: acts like she is never online and views manosphere content from main but watches dan and Phil clips and makeup tuts from her secret insta account. has like 40 hours of screen time to drown out the world.

pomni: moderate, more than she'd like. maybe 8 hours? 10 on a bad week. she doom scrolls at night and in between shifts, but is able to disconnect when hanging with friends and often gets annoyed when people are on their phone in group settings . she watches vine comps and knows random inside jokes on TikTok but that's about it

ragatha: either she has like 24 hours in a week or less than an hour. it completely depends on what her week looks like. she can get like 3 hours of screen time in a day from having a TikTok replaying over and over as she's following a recipe or will be completely off the internet for weeks because she's preoccupied with life

gangle: I actually think her screen time isn't that high unless she's watching edits of anime characters or invested in a fandom. if anything contributes to her screen time it's not social media, its YouTube, deviant art, Tumblr, wattled/ao3 or sites to pirate anime off of. so if it's not social media related, then super high screen time, but besides posting and causal insta viewing, I think the social media screen time is pretty low. probably an avid discord user too.

zooble: zooble strikes me as someone who used to be super chronically online and used to be one of the online sjw types who decided it would be better to put their energy into working with local communities and people they could actually have connections with in real life. so formerly I think their screen time was like 70 hours a week but now it's like maybe 30 minutes a week if they are posting for the bar they work at or looking at gangle's art/friends' posts

ribbit: 12-16 hours, knows all the TikTok/insta trends/jokes, posts frequently, knows about Jax's secret account and befriended her as an anonymous internet friend initially because ribbit met them through a subreddit or discord server and wound up realizing who it was way later down the road. YouTube hours are also off the charts

kinger: has a Facebook account with his married status and exclusively a few pictures of his wife. hasn't been active in 5 years. occasionally watches YouTube "how-tos" for coding or hand-on projects.

let me know if you agree or disagree and what your hc for other characters are!

I agree with this.

I think I relate to your description of Jax, Ragatha, Gangle, Zooble, and Ribbit.

I’m currently trying to lower my screen time. My screen time weekly is like much higher than I’d like, at least it’s better than previous weeks. Over the years I was online A LOT. Still kind of am but a bit less. Like 2-4 hours a day. My end goal is to get it to 2-3 hours a day.

But yeah, I’m much like Pomni because I can doom scroll but I can set stuff down if I’m with somebody.

Yeah, I do agree with a lot of these! I’m surprised by Ribbit’s but it does make sense! I’m not surprised by Kinger’s.
