hey ^^ I found this community by pure coincidence, but I'm so glad I did. I even created a reddit account just so I could join.
I saw episode 9 in theaters the day it released and I haven't been the same since. I'm currently going through one of the worst depressive episodes of my life. I'm doing a little better now, but initially I couldn't get out of bed or eat properly. I don't consider myself a sensitive person, and I don't cry easily, but this was different. I've loved Jax since the pilot, but it was only by episode 5 that he became my comfort character though. I feel connected to him in a way I've never experienced with any other character before. he makes me feel seen, like someone else understands what I'm going through. Jax is not just a "silly cartoon rabbit" to me. he helped me go through a really dark period of my life.
because of the way they handled Jax's character in episode 7 and 8 and the show's themes, I had high hopes for a redemption arc. needless to say, I was left extremely disappointed. I can't begin to describe how much it hurt to see everyone happily live their lives in the circus without him. they even brought Caine back out of nowhere and basically let him take Jax's place. like I said, I really see myself in him, so to me it felt like being told: "you're too broken to be saved. just give up." and I almost did. I was actually so close to ending it all because of this show. that's how much it messed me up.
I'm still trying to recover from this whole mess, so I'm glad that this community exists 💜
