I heard that fans were disappointed that there was no religion (Christianity if I'm not mistaken) despite being called "Project: Eden's Garden", so I'm curious how you handled this.

What would it be like TRANSCRIPT EPISODE when Haruka and Monomoko fused and got defeated by the "power of friendship" if WHITE really happened?! Seriously? Doesn't a stupid scenario like that actually require visuals?

Considering that TADC actually has a lot of dangerous messages if we think about it again, Goose really wanted to tell her version of events in writing about someone who has difficulty opening up about her transness, in the wrong way.

Seriously, maybe second place goes to Ragatha. But still...

Since both soundtracks were composed by Kensuke Ushio and depict the characters feeling "something"... soooo...

Trying out some experiment ✌️

Imagine your greatest fear is being forgotten and alone. Chances are, no one will miss you when you're gone. Then, the person you consider your partner will forget you when you die.

I mean yeah, Pomni knew Jax was lying and pretended not to care, but wouldn't it make sense if she showed her anger issues overflowing at her after hearing her crashout speech?! At this moment, Pomni could give clues about the people closest to her in the real world, like "You know what?! You're RIGHT! I'M JUST A PLAYTHING!! No matter HOOOOOW HARD I try to connect and empathize with someone, I still feel like I don't belong! NOBODY WILL miss me!! So please, if you really don't consider me a friend, then stop... looking..."

Pomni saying something like that would make sense why Jax had a panic attack, realizing he had gone too far, and not wanting to lose her like he lost Ribbit to her actions. The difficulty in apologizing and thinking it's too late would make sense why he didn't ask Pomni for help and abstracted (if the show said he had to).

The things that motivated me were: First, I wanted to dive deeper into this post. Second, I had seen the Project Eden's Garden lore document regarding the mastermind's motives. Honestly, >!"Wanting to prove the parasitic organization whether the Ultimates are selfish or not"!< is a much better motive than >!"Wanting to prove that humanity is cruel and fusing with an eldritch being to gain immortality,"!< and "better" here isn't exactly the best.

>!We know Haruka craves the immortality offered by Monomoko, but we don't know WHYYY she wants it so badly. What is the benefit for her? Does she want to be worshipped for having superpowers? Does she want to study the world until the end of time?! And why does she want the other two department heads, whose names I can't be bothered to mention, included in her contract?!<

In my opinion, Project Eden's Garden is at least reasonable compared to whatever Tetro is attempting regarding the mastermind.

You can make them platonic, romantic, rivalry, or queerplatonic.

Because I found a fandom that said "They got their happy ending not because Jax was abstracted, but Caine learned to get along with the cast and give them free control" or something like that.

But... ISN'T A PIECE OF A SHIT GONE, IT'S ONE OF THE REASONS?!

If "one character" is very angry at "other character," then the "other character" has done something very bad to "one character" or to the characters they cares about, and the "other character" has to take responsibility for what they did. Usually that's how it is on other shows.

If this "other character" is Jax, could this work?

Because usually someone who has anger issues is considered the same as a jerk, so I think one reason she understands Jax is because she feels like she finally belongs to someone who emphasizes negative traits more.

And remember, "made sense" here doesn't mean I'm excusing Pomni for sympathizing with Jax or defending her actions, I just want the seeds of their relationship to be made clear!

There's a bunch like sympathizing for people who are terrible or the amount of people pleasing being portrayed as a good thing but what is the worst of it?

Actually, another way to make that happen is by bringing Ribbit back, which is impossible. It's worth noting that Ribbit, a character who's been constantly brought up since episode 5, only really appears in the final episode. And the only reason that happens is because Pomni entered Jax's abstraction mind. Why? Because Jax is a hardcore anti-disclosure person who only becomes vulnerable after abstraction.

In episode 5, Ragatha mentioned that he has no friends anymore and Ribbit's door was first shown during Intermission Time. In episode 6, Ragatha suspected Jax of corrupting Pomni, her dissociation when he saw the Ribbit sticker crossed out, and her and Pomni's fight. In episode 7, Jax nearly abstracted while sleeping and seeing figures of her best friends, Ragatha also mentioned Ribbit's name during Abel's mission (OH RIGHT! SHE DID!). In episode 8, Jax and her hot chocolate—though that was all, but there was a big connection between them. And FINALLY, in the final episode, Ribbit (and Kaufmo) actually appeared!

The show keeps dragging out Jax's personal issues and backstory until the very end. Ribbit is the abstracted character who gets the most attention, even more than Queenie. Yet, Gooseworx only provided glimpses of them on social media, leading some fans to portray them as a funny and jerk prankster who still cared about people, or someone who physically and mentally abused Jax before she was abstracted. We were thinking, just because he remembers Ribbit through Pomni, doesn't mean their personalities and motives are 90% the same.

I’m convinced there are other ways for us, the audience, to learn more about Jax and Ribbit, beyond just her abstract mind. Here are a few examples:

• The conversation between Ragatha and Pomni after the awards show. That was the perfect moment for Ragatha to talk about her closest friend besides Kaufmo. She became increasingly worried about Pomni after learning about the fight and could have shared details about her relationship with Jax.
• Have Pomni explore Jax’s room. If she truly wants to understand Jax, she shouldn't just wait for her to open up (since he won't); she needs to take initiative. While Jax is away, Pomni could go inside, find photos from when the trio was still alive, and decide to explore her friends' rooms as well.
• This is a bit of a side note, but if Pomni were to save Jax from abstraction (again, but harder), I'm 500% certain the TADC ending would be less controversial. If Jax had a heart-to-heart with Pomni about what he did to Ribbit after she saved her, that would mark real progress for her. If he wasn't abstract, he wouldn't be let off the hook; Instead, Pomni would be allowed to feel disappointed and disgusted that he projected her pain onto someone who cared about her and abused them to the point of committing suicide, simply because of her traumatic backstory. Ribbit actually matters more if Jax chooses to take responsibility, and that is what they want: to feel remembered by the people they care about.
