The fact this show is based on "I have no mouth and I must scream" already tells this isn't going to end well for anybody.

Regarding Jax's outwardly abrasive and aloof personality, I feel like his mischievous, pranksterish streak is a coping strategy: since he's trapped in the Digital Circus with everyone else and doesn't have any control over his world, he uses those random pranks and snide comments as a way to _reclaim_ some degree of autonomy -- provoking emotional reactions from his fellow prisoners in a sort of 'I _prank,_ therefore I _am'_ affirmation that he's still _himself._ But it's a _facade,_ and we see the mask slip off very briefly at the end of the second episode: when Ragatha and Kinger bring up Kaufmo's funeral, for a brief moment, a saddened expression crosses Jax's face, right before he shakes it off and walks away. He _knows_ his coping strategy has _limits,_ and seeing Kaufmo lose his mind was an irrefutable reminder of how _little_ control he actually _has_ -- so he threw himself into the next adventure as a _distraction,_ using Denial, Anger and Bargaining to avoid having to confront Sorrow. (I'm sure he's watched enough people Abstract to know that the fourth step of Kübler-Ross is what _breaks_ people, and he'd rather run from his feelings than follow that same path.)

At the end when Pomni's nightmare from the beginning replays, everyone in the group is seen grabbing her hand to save her except Jax's. So Pomni definitely doesn't consider Jax a friend due to his worst behavior and wouldn't expect him to have her back like the others. This is even more notable because Pomni still imagines Gangle's hand (or ribbon). Keep in mind, Pomni literally hasn't shared a single conversation with Gangle yet, but she'd rather entrust her life to somebody who is effectively a total stranger than someone like Jax. Granted, Gangle is nothing like Jax and doesn't have a mean bone in her body, but again, she and Pomni have yet to properly communicate, so the point still stands.

to me, Kinger seems like he's dealing with the trauma of his predicament by being constantly disassociated. i don't get the vibe that he's fearful, just that he's a bit checked-out and that makes him easily distracted.

Thank goodness you're here. Pomni desperately needs therapy! 😂😭❤💙

Zooble and Jax sort of have different life philosophies where Zooble is an introvert who prioritizes real things and Jax is an extrovert who is completely immerged in the gameplay.

That button earring on the right ear is a really nice touch to that Ragatha outfit!

I feel conflicted. On the one hand, I don't like the quizzes, but I like that it's by a therapist

I'm do glad you did Digital Circus. Out of all the characters, I definitely see myself in Pomni the most. We act just alike. I struggle a lot with being social and I'm shy, but I will comfort people if needed. Whether it's face to face or over text. Even if I'm struggling myself, I can open up to people that I also let open up to me so I can relate to them. This is why I find a lot comfort in Pomni's character. My second favorite and the one I see myself in is Gangle. We're very sensitive and we have depression. But we have a happy mask. And the third is a bit of Ragatha. Because we are people pleasers. I see flaws I know I have in her. And sometimes we'll lie to make people feel better, while trying so hard not to hold a grudge and be understanding.

This ironically makes me feel less stupid for feeling bad or mean during a video game. I can be morally questionable, like stealing but never can do an evil playthrough.

I literally love miss Georgia Dow for being who she is, she makes the world brighter with her existence, I've never seen the show, but i just feel the need to let the world know lol

Do you think that they could represent the 5 stages of grief. Denial - Pomni Anger - Jax Bargaining - Ragatha Depression - Gangle Acceptance - Kinger

If I was trapped in a Digital Circus, I’d either be more like Jax or Kinger.

I'm definitely a super feeler like Pomni, with uncertainty, and because of it I get exhausted, and can either start or end an interaction like Zooble. Been told on multiple occasions that I am too "cold" and "Frigid" or "rude" , and I am always confused because I always feel like I was doing what I was doing or saying needed to be said in the most simple way. But I've noticed that its just me spreading myself in a way that I think is manageable for myself, I can't put all my energy into one thing otherwise i burn out. Alot of people don't like my baseline, lots of people think I'm a very rude person, but the people who have stuck around always tell me, "No you're not rude you're straightforward, blunt, you're always thinking about other people that you often forget about yourself.

It's amazing how much depth we can gleam from the main cast in only the first two episodes. I, for one, look forward to Gangle, Kinger, and Zooble-centered episodes, since while I feel like I have a good understanding of the kind of personalities for Pomni, Ragatha, and Jax and how they cope with being in the Digital Circus, I feel like we could use a bit more insight about the others, like is Gangle's mood-swinging actually tied to her masks, or just how aware is Kinger when it comes to any given situation. I'm especially intrigued by how the series will handle Zooble, since they aren't interested in Caine's wacky adventures and, unless forced to otherwise, won't bother participating in any of them, which initially had me somewhat concerned that they won't get enough screentime for use to get to know them, but Gooseworx did eventually confirm that every episode will have a focus on at least one of the main characters (I believe she said the "Jax episode" won't come until at least after episode 4).

Yes! More of digital Circus!! And a deep dive of the characters!

Please do Jax!!! Theres going to be an episode just about him and why hes like that.

God damn these designs are genius in a way I didn't even realize! In Jax's case, I personally think he cares more than he's letting on. When you consider things like taking steps to protect kinger and gangle, but only when he knows there's real danger, and also the way he hesitates before leaving kaufmo's funeral like he has to actively remind himself not to get too close, I doubt that a sociopath would need to practice that behavior

first OT and Sam Collins collab, now THIS?!?!? im winning today

I honestly didn't expect this analysis, but I'm excited!

Would absolutely LOVE a Gummigoo episode and deep dives on Ragatha, Jax, and Pomni! I feel like I'm a mix of Ragatha and some Pomni (currently in therapy and think everyone should go!). The cosplay is so freaking cute btw :)

12:41 That was Ragatha, actually.

Oh my god! Georgia doing TADC isn't something I expected but everything I need ❤

I’ve been binge watching your videos and I love hearing you break down all these characters, but as a cosplayer I LOVE the fact that you always make such cool cosplays to go with your videos!! You’re awesome!!

I am a Gangle/pomni I used to be a Ragatha but I am trying to not be a people pleaser and you know working on other issues.😊

Nice Ragatha cosplay and I love “The Amazing Digital Circus!”😊❤❤❤ I’d say I’m usually like Pomni because I think I do have those super-feeler tendencies; I’ve even cried writing and reading fan fiction since you mentioned connecting to fictional characters and how much they can matter to someone, but obviously I do it with people too.😅 I also just absolutely love how Pomni was there for Gummigoo and talking to him.🥹💕💕💕 I was devastated when Gummigoo got zapped as well.😭 I can sometimes be like Ragatha and Gangle too if I’m being honest.😅

Ohh, this is gonna be a _good_ one to analyze! _TADC_ may not be as long-running as _Hazbin Hotel_ or _Helluva Boss_ yet, but its dubiously-hinged, "I Have No Mouth And I Want Ice Cream"-esque world is _packed_ with different forms of depression and anxiety, and every character has their own coping strategies.

HELP OMG I FEEL SO CALLED OUT ABOUT THE RAGATHA ONE- Literally everything about Ragatha applies to me uhh

Rocking that ragatha cosplay!

To me, Jax feels like a guy who loves messing around in the circus because he knows that they're in a video game. In the circus, everyone's immune to starvation, sleep deprivation and presumably can't feel pain unless it's through an abstracted individual. That's why he's stopped taking things that seriously and horses around with the safety with the other residents- his life and others' lives suddenly have very few stakes. He especially enjoys how others take the circus really seriously, which is why he teases Pomni so much.

Haya, it's been a while I missed a few videos hahah life is lifing... but I'm back and exited Love the look 😁🤩

Dang... guess I am a more positive version of Zooble with those sorta mechinations. It's tough finding someone close to hang with.

Can you do more videos of this show when more episodes come out? Cause each episode is going to be about each characters personality and past life and why there like that.

I watched a bit of The Amazing Digital Circus with my wife, but five minutes into it started to trigger her, because she was reminded of the time she had to go to the psych ward.

I'm so happy!!! That you upload a the amazing digital circus therapy analysis tysmmm!!!!

I'm a psychology major who loves TADC, so of course this video was right up my alley (I also liked watching your Hazbin Hotel ones earlier this year)! I really enjoyed watching this and think your interpretations of the characters are very interesting, and quite accurate. Jax in particular is a tough character to read, but you might be right about him being more of an understimulated troublemaker trying to preserve himself, versus someone truly evil and lacking all remorse. I was thinking he was going to shape up to be the latter until a blink-and-you-miss-it moment late in the second episode, where he very briefly looks mournful right before Kaufmo's funeral, then instantly shakes it off and rolls his eyes. I think in Jax we have a very emotionally repressed and potentially very traumatized character, and I'm interested to see his further development in the series (the creator of the show, Gooseworx, confirms the sixth episode spotlights Jax). I think the only interpretation of yours where I personally see the character quite differently is Kinger. I definitely can understand the ADHD interpretation, and the sense he's been sheltered, but my (again, personal and subjective) interpretation leans more towards him having PTSD, and some symptoms of dissociation as well (which may be the reason why he forgets who he's around and what he's talking about so quickly, and gets startled so easily). This is more niche info found on Gooseworx's tumblr, but Kinger has been in the circus the longest, and there was also a character named Queenie, who was a Queen chess piece, who abstracted in the circus. We don't know anything about her as of now, but I have a feeling that Kinger's time trapped in the circus, along with likely seeing Queenie abstract, contributed to his dissociative symptoms and gave him trauma, if not PTSD. Thank you if you did read my long paragraph (and thank you to any strangers in the comments reading it), I like talking about this stuff!

I like how you added the button as a earring :)

Please do Gummigoo! Also, loving the Ragatha cosplay today!

The amazing digital circus is something else like hell of a boss we need a full video therapy session theory on the clown j Jester pomni

i resonated with these characters a lot more than I thought i would, time to add to my kin list..

I see myself in Ragatha the most.

With the Halloween season coming soon, it'd be cool to see you take a crack at the Henry Selick movies like James and the Giant Peach, Coraline, and Wendell & Wild. I think they'd be really interesting to look at with how they all three deal with kids horror, childhood trauma, and parental loss/grief.

the hair you did for ragatha ended up looking so cool tbh. it's giving something... hmm maybe 80s or 90s? idk but very fun

The cosplay is really good, if you were to make a second Channel documenting the creation and or purchasing of the costumes for each video I would 100% watch that

Sections 0:17 Ragatha 4:16 Jax 9:34 Zooble 13:46 Gangle 17:13 Pomni 23:23 Kinger My thoughts:I see myself in all but 1 character, that 1 being ragatha. However only 4 are dominant at all times, those being Kinger(I am very reactive to my own emotions but not to those of others like so reactive that you do ONE THING to piss me off I'm quite literally immediately hitting hellfire levels of angry, excitement is the exact opposite extreme to such a point that I may accidentally drop spoilers depending on what made me excited), Gangle(I don't like admitting this but whenever those anger moments mentioned in the kinger section of this comment occur I often feel uhhh terrible about myself and it tends to linger god damn anxiety I tell ya), Jax(I'll literally do almost anything to entertain myself because of boredom, never do I intend it to be mean or evil or whatever), Zooble(more or less when I'm out of my room or more accurately out of the house and/or around a lot of people, I do spend most of my time in my bedroom, the only person I let in being my mom who is legit the only person I trust and have stable relationship with), Pomni(I try to help in any possible way I can even in emotional moments even if I don't feel what you feel). Should I have indicated the 2 parts a bit better? yes. Will I correct it? No

OooOOOoo If you're tackling Gltich shows, do murder drones too! Oh and Lackadaisy (after they have a few episodes out) One of the BIG advantages of these indie animations on YT, Like Hazbin, Helluva Boss, Digital Circus, is productions takes a LONG time, and the writers can iterate the script all the way to the last scene drawn. This gives them TIME to TRULY be creative, get every personality right, ever line written perfect. These Indie YT animations are a lot like the very early Simpsons or Family Guy shows, production took time, so writing had quality. Mainstream stuff these days uses 2D puppet rigs, and episode could be decently produced in a week. Rip writing and 'natural' character development.

I think I might be a Pomni...with some Ragatha thrown in. I am still at 40 still learning to say no sometimes.

Hmm. Suddenly I relate to Zooble.

lovely of you to drop this during clown week

Now that she's done with Hazbin, Helluva, & TAFC-I wonder how Georgia would interpret the psychology in Muder Drones...

I didn't realise how literally the character's personalities reflected their designs and vice versa

I’m definitely a zooble with a kinger exterior who desperately wants to be a ragatha. I think nothing has ever described me better

I honestly have seen a bunch of "Which Character Are You" stuff on RU-vid, so I was reallh ready to not take it seriously. But to be honest, the stuff she said about Ragatha just kinda resonated with me and I ended up getting really invested in this video

The way I screamed when I saw this video in my subscriptions!!! I love the Amazing Digital Circus! Excited to hear your take on it 😊

I think you might like the show scavengers reign as analysis video.

I think Jax wants blood, violence, and chaos because he wants to be entertained. He’s to be more disappointed than depressed when it doesn’t happen, and I mean, if you want substantial evidence, he literally admitted it himself. “I’m fine with doing whatever. As long as I get to funny things happen to people.”

Actually their designs reflect their personality and a form of entertainment: 1:49 . Like you said, Ragatha is a ragdoll because people throw her around, but also because a ragdoll’s purpose is to bring you comfort as you hug it, which is why she’s a people pleasing caretaker; . Jax is based on trickster rabbits from cartoons, like Bugs Bunny, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit…; . Gangle represents theater and she wears masks to hide her insecurities, leaving her a weeping mess whenever she’s a unmasked, not unlike many comedian actors; . Zooble is based on a toy that Goose used to play and since they can change body parts many times, they lost their sense of gender; . Kinger is the oldest among the players, therefore he’s based on one of the oldest games (chess) and he’s crazy and weak because in chess the King is the weakest pawn of the game; . Pomni is a jester because people don’t take her seriously, even though, at least in Italian culture, jesters are known to be very observant and to tell us harsh truths hidden behind their jokes, in Arlecchino’s style.

Did you catch Jax's facial expressions when Kaufmo's funeral was mentioned? For a split second, he looks sad, but then he shakes it off and leaves. He is masking.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do a video about Mob Psycho 100. Amazing anime full of things to analyze

Im definitely a kinger with some traits of zooble and gangle. Lots of ADHD, easily distracted, for years i were stuck in my own shell and feared the outside world building my own little safe haven and couldnt emotionally cope when in stressful scenarios. Overtime ive learnt to think of the world as exciting rather than frightful, to recognise when a situation is stressful and leave to regain myself before resuming, and make a lot of reminders so i dont forget certain tasks or can come back to them later as i tend to multitask :)

I'm kind of a mix of Pomni and Ragatha with a dash of Gangle, and all these ring true tbh. That said, Caine still remains my favourite character in this series thus far, and while it may sound awful, I did laugh when Gummigoo exploded...but not because I didn't feel as Pomni did, because I did (I get emotionally attached to fictional characters very easily), but because as a creative storyteller myself, I understood why it happened and it was just so violently funny to do it in that particular way. It was a weird mish-mash of "OMFG" (horrified) and "Omfg, that was brilliant!" (admirable)

I thought georgia would dress up as Pomni For this video I didn't expect her to dress up as Ragatha

Wasn't expecting a video on my favorite series. I interestingly match almost every one of these personalities. It just depends on who I am talking to or how I am feeling at a specific moment.

When it comes to Jax, my thoughts are that he's doing what he does just to keep himself from going insane, and ultimately becoming abstracted. Laughing at others' misery is his way of keeping him distracted from the cold truth that he's stuck in a virtual world with (seemingly) no way out. That doesn't excuse his actions, of course.

Spoilers and then GLITCH had the nerve to kill Gummigoo a second time in one of their merch commercials

Fight, flight, fawn, freeze

Great video as always! What a perfect series for you to cover, given how archetypal and distinct the characters are. I especially love how you point out each of the physical characteristics reinforcing the character traits.

Hey Georgia! I'm guessing you are a caretaker type since you are into therapy, so I just wanted you to know that you too are seen! I catch your little genuine smiles when you put your face in the video clips 😄 You are appreciated and listening to your perspectives is both entertaining and insightful. Thanks so much for all you do, especially immersing yourself with a little cosplay!

One of the doors in the hallway of character's rooms was a queen piece. Kinger was also there the longest, according to Jax. I think it's not unreasonable to assume that Kinger is repressing most of his own life as a survival mechanism, including most likely, the insanity and loss of his other half.

The costume is amazing, also great analysis

That was really interesting fact about kinger, that he can do only one thing at once.

Kinger is also dealing with, poorly, the loss of Queenie and I thought it was mentioned his distracted, inattentive and disassociating got much worse after she disappeared or abstracted.

I love how I considered myself exactly like Pomni- now I'm certain lmao

I am a total Ragatha (sp?). In my childhood it was so bad I married my entire identity to my SO. If they didn't like something, I stopped doing it. If they didn't like someone, I stopped talking to them. It actually made our relationship extremely toxic. It wasn't until my 30s that I started to advocate for myself and draw boundaries. The moment I did, the most fascinating thing happened - my SO was HAPPY for the first time in years. They looked at me and said: "I have been trapped, raising you, thinking for you - BEING you - for as long as I have known you. But all I wanted, all this time, was a partner. Someone to stand next to me instead of behind me. You have no idea how much of a relief it is, to finally have that."

Your costume this episode was really good for ragetha! I loved the button earing as a reference for her eye!

Jax is ONE HUNDRED PERCENT defensive. There are scenes where he shows he cares and he especially tried to hide the abstraction thing as to not cause distress for the others. He also has this scene where when the funeral for Kaufmo takes place, his facial expression softens, and then he kind of shakes it off looking mad. That man is probably really genuinely caring, but also terrified.

Will you do an analysis video on Darkness from Konosuba and the psychology of masochism?

I found this show and watched all available episodes only because you made these posts!! So good! I’m sure you have plenty of content in the pipeline but I’d LOVE to watch your assessments from She-Ra: Princesses of Power. With such layered characters representing so many people, it would be fascinating to hear your take!!

6:42 Okay, from my view of this, he was hiding from Kaufmo, he doesnt care about the others (in this part) but he knew if he went in the hole himself, he'd had to deal with the gloink queen, so he threw the ball at them just so he can hide from the monster while also not needing to exactly be apart of the adventure. 7:55 And for this, pretty sure he just likes being an a-hole, its nothing related with trauma, just fun cuz why not? Oh and, near the end where they talk about Kaufmo's funeral, I know Jax looked sad for a split second i did not miss that, but it probably just means that despite messing around with others genuinely because its fun, its still possible to be feeling upset about their disappearance, from out of Jax's view, we can kinda perceive him as the kind to "miss you when you're gone", but of course, he'll never admit to it. Point is, though he's truly finding amusement in torture, he does feel empathy for others, yet he'll push it down as to not show weakness, to him, being weak is stupid especially if he's the jerkiest of the group.

jaxs square eyes seem to be his true eyes, so if you look in that in the animation it might help, you see it a few times throughout the episodes with jax you notice he never opens his teeth (oh his own his character modle getting scuffed from zooble doesnt count) so the phrase "lying through your teeth" comes to mind when i think of him, so when you want to see what he really thinks look at his eyes, its pretty interesting tbh

Oh i LOVE this thank you so much. It’d be really cool if you did this for Murder Drones! It’s finale is on the 23rd so you’ll have a whole show to pick through instead of a couple episodes, and I’d really love to hesr your perspective on Khan and Doll.

I love Ragatha so much here's to both of us finding the courage and strength to set more boundaries 🎉

Fantastic analysis and cosplay as always

Another great video, love to see it! I would love if you made an analysis on God of War (2018) and God of War: Ragnarok, there is a lot to look into the characters of Kratos, Atreus and many other characters there, especially knowing the kind of flawed character Kratos was in the previous games and the atrocities he has done in his past and the way he grew to be better, and of course you don't need to see the entire game saga to do it with many videos on youtube resuming his story up to the last two games which are the ones worth watching for the purposes of the video

So if you’re looking for ideas, people are wondering if Jax is an AI , if you haven’t done it yet might be a part of a video figuring out if someone else is human or not.

I think Jax was genuinely trying to protect Kinger and Gangle personally. I don’t think he wants them dead, sociopathic as he is

I didn't see this one coming, but you covering digital circus makes me so happy. Thank you so much!!!!🎉

Omg yes I love digital circus

You missed the part where Jax gets angry as Caine locks Kaufmo away but then hides it

I would love to see Georgia cover some of the Disc world characters like Carrot, Vimes, Weatherwax, Rincewind and the Patriation

I'm Pomni and Gangle. I love them both. 💙

I personally think I'm more like Ragatha, where I wouldn't try to think about this too much, and would just try to enjoy living in this world and going on the adventures to distract myself from the fact that I'm trapped.

i love your analysis videos so much. do you take requests because I'd love to see you analyze crowley and Aziraphale from good omens. and maybe the "final 14" of s2e6.

Aight, she did a Glitch show. Now I'll be calmly waiting for a Murder Drones video. Need me a breakdown on V.

I relate alot to Ragatha, Idk consider myself a care taker, I want to make sure people are ok and safe, and I haven't had comfort from people IRL, all I get told is _"Get Over it"_ and other stuff like that, and I get told me being upset and being blamed for having feeling, therefore yelling when it gets to much, I get called an abuser... For suffering, and it's not fair, but still having Empathy is Important... I only get it from some Frienrs and that's really it 3:56 Omfg... That's literally me... I always go out to things I really don't wanna go to, a movie, a restaurant, because I wanna be liked, I don't want to be alone

Wow I'm here 59 seconds in, talk about making it before the one minute mark! And can't wait to watch! The Digital Circus chars are so very interesting, Jax in particular considering what a jax@ss he is, and the fact we don't know what sort of motivation he may have for this, like if he's just naturally a jerk or if it's a result of his situation, or if he was already like that but made worse by his situation Edit: I always thought of him as saving them, especially since he lies to spare their feelings, reassuring them that there’s nothing to worry about, and then saving them but passing it off as just him being his usual mischievous self Though it *is* interesting that he’d do that considering it’s basically the *only* nice thing we’ve seen him done (and given the creator’s comments that he’ll only get worse as the show progress, we probably wasn’t there to plant the idea that he has redeeming moments that’ll become more prominent over time)

This may be difficult but a "class of '09" videogame analysis would be VERY interesting

I definitely consider myself to be a Pomni to Zooble to Ragatha pipeline personality wise!!

I relate to both Jax and Zoobie. My outer expressions are very Zoobie, but my need for adrenaline and chaos is very Jax lol. Decided on being a firefighter to get my Adrenaline needs met. It's so refreshing to her a therapist talk about some peoples need for adrenaline. I also saw and commented on your Kiwi video about it.
