Aether went from one-dimensional smug rival to protagonist of a random story I haven't written yet and inspiration for a whole ass setting.
Congrats on your original design sucking so much you got a complete glowup.

Member of r/websticks. I create a lot of characters and try my best to put them in stories. I like writing and drawing, though I often don't post. I like dreamcore and liminal spaces, maybe too much. DNIs: NSFW, politics-focused users in most cases

So I've decided to have a reflection on Jax's off-screen abstraction. I'll admit it was disappointing at first, but a part of me realized: I think that's the point. Sometimes someone you love will just disappear when you look away, and you wish you had done more for them. You might think to yourself, "If I followed them, maybe I could've stopped them from doing it."
I don't think all abstractions are suicide, but Jax's probably was. But on the bright side, at least his macroverse counterpart is okay.
I feel bad that Gooseworx gets so much hate for what she made though, since even despite the flaws in episode 9 I thought it was good.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2vrs2hjuy6uopllbdjnpta6z/bafkreigpub73wbdxllo47b7dea47itqz4lp5zft2tx2kyhabe43kga2rwa)
