here's a very quick and shabby compilation of all(?) the possibly playable units in the trailer
i probably missed some but i'm still reeling a little bit from the reveal
@GabPazLim I actually think that arc happened during episodes 7-9. In 6, we see a lot of that idealization, but by 7, Gangle is stepping up when Zooble is unsure and upset. By episode 8, she's being mature and wise while Zooble is crashing out. She loves them even at their lowest now 💖
"I use she/her pronouns for Jax," makes sense, she's heavily implied to be a trans woman, so it's cool to do that
"I use he/him pronouns for Jax," makes sense, he never even explored any other pronouns in canon
"I use they/them pronouns for Jax," makes sense, nice and ambiguous
@CircusSoup I legit think his pupils dilate. I've thought that for a long time, but the Ragatha Abstraction Scenario made me feel even more confident. Whenever he panics and breathes heavily, his pupils constrict. But they are often dilated, because why bother breathing?
Yknow, part of why a lot of trans guys identified with Jax is, there are some experiences that are shared between us. This is why universal trans metaphors can exist, like the Matrix. It's not about *how* you break the system, so much as it as that you *do* break it.
@karpuzumbrella@chillest_felix It's not even just a human name! It's a *cool* name. Just had that one ready to go, right at the hip. Just waitin for a rainy day. Loses their deadname to the fey in the machine and goes "cool thanks, that had been bothering me actually"
@lizzieleeVA@annesfrogs Honestly, the ambiguity kinda works in this case. Jax never got a chance to fully figure that out. Leeroy will, but seemingly hasn't yet. But there's something gender going on there, some premium eggery.
@pengwyndolin Guy once asked where I was from, I said "Lebanon County" (pronounced LEP-nin KAHN-ee) and he said "yeah I can tell cuz you said it like that"
Hey while we're posting niche Tezuka art I feel like "Osamu Tezuka did illustrations for the Japanese translation of the 101 Dalmations book" should be more well known
