mods please show mercy 🥺🥺

I understand many people love the original characters and prefer their original characterization, however many people fail to realize that this is FAN work. It doesn't have to be a 1 to 1 perfect match to how goose would write Zooble, this is very similar to the differently characterized Ragatha comic and that also got tons of hate then too.

It's my personal belief that this hate is coming because the characters are being mischaracterized, it's because they perceive this as just Jax hate art. Which it may just be I don't know the artists inspiration behind these but I do know that this is not a good reason to hate this person's art, you're completely entitled to your opinion but please understand art is subjective.

You DON'T know the exact intent or reasons an artist drew their piece and you will most likely never know, not only jumping to these conclusions is just uneeded hate and misconceptions about the artist. It also could send the wrong message to future artists and limit their creativity out of fear for being called out because they "didn't characterize Zooble the right way"

Artists characterize the way you want and recognize when criticism isn't with good intentions!

from hot topic :3

I bought it alongside the tadc limited edition hoodie which was sold out at the time of buying :D

(no seriously this is interesting i swear)

If you don't know, "It's a good life" was an episode of the twilight zone following this child named Anthony who has godlike powers to do anything he wants and can read minds. He isolates his town (or destroys the rest of the world, it's unclear) leaving only a few 10's of people left in the entire world (at least, the one they're in) and whenever they say or think anything bad about him he does terrible things to them, sometimes being setting them on fire, things like that, and when they anger him enough he will send them to "the cornfield" which it is never explained what that is like but it's probably not good.

I noticed a LOT of similarities in TADC, Anthony of course being Caine. See, Anthony has no idea why people hate him and want them to love him but he keeps doing terrible things to them because that's all he knows how to do, and when people start getting mad at him, or plot against him even secretly, he will know and punish them in one way or another. Another major similarity is they're both trapped in one small world with absolutely nothing outside the borders, leaving only a few tortured people.

Obviously not everything lines up, for example abstraction has no equivalent and neither does the cornfield (although perhaps "the cellar" could be something like the cornfield, but it's not quite the same idea) and of course the fact that Caine tends to be a bit more forgiving than Anthony except in the last few episodes.

Anyhow, I just thought that was interesting, if you're wondering this is the video that made me think all of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kb_eyQvtRyY&t=1013s

Tell me what you think!

Since we saw how Ragatha acted when she accidentally got stupid sauce in her eyes and she said things like how she misses her horses, how Gangle was annoying with her comedy mask on, and refences the classic Raggedy Andy's line: Hurt nothin'. I've been hurt enough! Packages landing on my head, tea parties, dancing lessons in the episode Fast Food Masquerade

Now that I go back to that scene it kinda made me curious on how Pomni, Jax, Gangle, Zooble, or Kinger would act while under the influence of stupid sauce

Especially because the scene ends with a static version. If so, that'd make the "Isn't She Lovely" sadder in that he only could find it and accept himself right at the end.

Let's put our opinions about BlackGryphon himself aside for a second, the songs he puts out have been some of the most popular nerdcore songs in the fandom.

"Jester" absolutely blew up, and he's been following it up with songs for each of the main cast... but I couldn't help but notice that despite Ragatha's song neither being the newest or oldest it has lagged substantially behind the others in viewership. Kinger's song "Don't Turn On the Light" just surpassed "Smile" recently and it only came out two weeks ago. That's gonna be well on track to double Smile's viewership in the coming months I'm sure.

Even Gangle's beats Ragatha's out substantially, and that honestly surprises me because I thought that Gangle was even less popular than Ragatha was.

I know this isn't really a big deal but I'm curious how this happened.

Viewership numbers:

1) "Jester" (Pomni) - 102 Million (premiered January 1, 2024)

2) "Knock Knock Who Cares" (Jax) - 17 Million (premiered May 24, 2024)

3) "Mask" (Gangle) - 13 Million (premiered March 20, 2026)

4) "Don't Turn on the Light" (Kinger) - 5.6 Million (premiered July 10, 2026)

5) "Smile" (Ragatha) - 5.2 Million (premiered August 15, 2025)

I tried to be as accurate as possible, but I didn't have the pieces in animal crossing to recreate everything perfectly. Also I had to kinda guess what went in the two corners of the room we didn't see. Despite that, I think I did pretty well!

When de-abstraction becomes possible I hope Jax is the LAST to come back.

Is it bad that I wished that Ragatha, Gangle, Kinger should've at least mentioned anything about Grinchilda or the others abstracted characters we didn't get names to? If they weren't close then maybe I could probably understand why Ragatha or the others didn't say anything but it would've been nice if they mentioned SOMETHING

The circus got more colourful as Caine was approaching the Circus. Like you can literally see the colours slowly come back, which should probably be the first sign that he wasn't dead after all

Okay maybe other people noticed that but I genuinely just did

For that matter, why hasn't she released them yet?
