I Wonder What Jax And Ragatha Think When They See The Other. After All, One Expresses So Freely The Emotions

I wonder what Jax and Ragatha think when they see the other. After all, one expresses so freely the emotions the other tries so desperately to repress, making it harder to push down.

Ragatha represses her “mean” emotions (anger, annoyance, apathy, etc) in order to be a perfect friend to the others and Jax represses his “cringe” emotions (grief, compassion, wanting to be accepted, etc) so he can do whatever he wants. This makes it hard for them to get along, but each one has something the other lacks, so

Does Ragatha envy how Jax gets stuff done without worrying about how someone else would feel? Does Jax envy the connection Ragatha has with everyone?

That may be why they bicker so much. They’re fighting to keep down the emotions they’ve repressed for so long, but this ironically brings them more to the surface.

Their argument shows this so well. Ragatha puts her anger at what Jax did to Gangle over Gangle herself (leaving her on the floor w/ mask broken), and Jax doesn’t want her to think that he broke it on purpose, or that he’s a bad guy (he isn’t supposed to care about ppls feelings remember?).

Another example is how Ragatha starts worrying abt Pomni only for Jax to go “Poor POMNI? How about poor US????”, and Ragatha doesn’t answer. When Ragatha brings up Kaufmo’s funeral, it makes Jax’s mask break for a split second.

It’s like being around the other brings out what they think is the worst part of themselves.

This is also why they share eps 5 and 6. They are two sides of the same coin, so its hard to bring up one without the other.

I’m excited to see where Gooseworx and Glitch takes them next.
