As someone who works in a DV Shelter, I've always viewed abstraction in TADC less as death and more as psychological collapse.
When people experience prolonged stress, trauma, isolation, or hopelessness, they can lose their sense of self. Abstraction feels like a metaphor for reaching a point where the mind can no longer sustain the pain it's carrying.
What stands out to me is Pomni's empathy. In trauma-informed practice, connection is often a protective factor. Pomni doesn't necessarily solve anyone's problems, but she consistently tries to understand others and see the person beneath their behavior.
Sometimes empathy isn't about fixing someone. It's about helping them feel seen before they reach their breaking point, and continue to even afterwards.
“If only Jax had locked in” she was literally a traumatized homeless transfem abuse victim thrown into a circus designed to psychologically torture you. Healing and change doesn’t work that way!
Weon se me hace re chistoso el hecho de que Kaufmo no tenia ni idea de que estaba pasando entre Jax y Ribbit
Y cuando Jax dice que hara equipo con el, el cabron se voltea y le extiende el pulgar y le sonrie bien silly como buen pana jsjsjsjj
rewatching the finale and i can’t help but adore how well this scene encapsulates the conflicting disgust and then the guilt you feel after (not necessarily physically) pushing away an abusive parent that tries to show you affection without addressing how they have tormented you
three years spent looking forward to seeing what’s next with my favorite character jax in every episode that would release. as sappy as it may sound to some, it hurts to see jax go.
