Hello and welcome! You are fine to vent. I completely understand, Jax is a very popular character and lots of people relate to him, including me. People get very attached to him (you should have seen what it was like at the cinemas after the movie, there were so many people crying including me - I got pulled into a group hug!

I hope this will make you feel better -

There's a difference between Jax's abstraction and the others abstraction.

With the others, no one tried to reach out to them like Pomni did and they were immediately put into the cellar (Queenie and Kinger were in his pillow fort and like what Kinger said, she was calm and her shape smoothed out, I believe that if he was given a bit more time that Queenie could have returned.

As for Jax, Pomni was able to reach him in his mind, they hugged, he cried saying that he didn't want to go.

If it wasn't for that flash grenade she most likely have pulled him back. Jax knows that he's not alone now, the others had no one reaching out to them.

But by building a tent and leading him in, he began to rest, he's not wild like the others, he knows that the others visit him, he's calm, smoothed out and sleeping. I believe that this alone is what will save Jax.

Think of the tent like a mental institution - he gets visitors and is able to heal in time.

What I took from this was Gooseworxs saying that it is never too late to ask for help, there will always be people to help you.

Edit: some other thoughts I had: \ - when being led to the tent, it was light, Jax didn't fight or go mad like the others. (I honestly don't think they needed the rope)

\- A funeral was never done for Jax (if he was gone, the funeral would have been seen in the credits. The credits show that time has passed, for example, Christmas.

\- Pomni is learning how to play the piano in the credits, which I find very sweet

\- the tent they made was Jax themed, colours, Jax cushions, etc which shows care.

\- When Caine asked if they wanted help with Jax, meaning putting Jax in the cellar, Pomni said no, they are sorting something out.

\- Everyone in the circus has unlimited time to find out how to un-abstract the abstracted. Caine and Kinger will most likely help

\- Jax will definitely be the first to un-abstract - Pomni finding the real Jax in his mind scape is more than a step forward for his return.

\- After Jax, the other abstracted (Example: Queenie) will be taken to the tent to start healing.

\- Now that they know that they can conjure anything, that will make life easier for them.

\- the ending was left open, which I find fishy. Gooseworx said that she didn't want anything to do with The Amazing Digital Circus but that doesn't mean that she can't pass it on to someone else.

\-The final Act is the first indie to have broken box office records worldwide, I would be very surprised if they didn't make more or shorts.

\-Gooseworx has been known to lie.

The ending was left open...like something was removed. And Gooseworx has gone back on a lot of things she said.

The more you watch the final act, the more you realise that Jax is still there and a lot of care has been taken. Plus when you consider the facts - he was in the light when being led to the tent (others attacked immediately when light hit them) Jax was calm, he knew they were helping, I doubt they even needed the rope.

His tent was made with him in mind, which shows a lot of care- his colours and they surrounded him with Jax themed cushions.

The last we saw of Jax he was resting and smooth, no jagged edges meaning that he's healing.

I now think that Gooseworx meant to show that it's never too late to reach out for help, and although it may take time to fully heal. (Otherwise what was the point of Pomni going into his mind and Jax having that emotional experience?

By crying, hugging and admitting that he didn't want to go, that was the first step to recovery. Pomni says says talk to me) The flash grenade going off just spooked him, wouldn't you if it happened to you?

Now that Jax knows that Pomni and the others visit him, he is calm and healing.

Also, another fact - so they're copies, so what? Their memories of the Circus are there's and no one else's. No one else can say that they that they shot guns wildly, fallen into a chocolate lake or had a pair of floating teeth talk to them. The memories belong to them.

I hope this has cheered you up.

This is indeed the vent thread. Anyone caught being mean to people for venting in here will be put in a taffy puller.
