I think a RUclipsr compared Kinger to an angel when he was comforting Pomni in hell, from his calming tone to when it shows him guiding her through hell while shining through the dark. Something like that helps a lot to get through hard times, right. And I bet you're not the only one who cried.
But I have a question for you, who do you think would Abstract first amongst the remaining group?
The angels that you keep mentioning aren’t all the angels but rather the guardians of the throne of God.
Mob physco 100 please 😢
Small fun detail: in computer science, bug is a term used to refer unexpected issues that appear when writing software, so Kinger originally hating bugs makes sense.
Hinted towards in the first episode where he mentions an "insect collection" aka "bug collection"
What if Kinger was a dev, but Queenie was a QA (those that search, replicate and document errors, aka bugs). I can see how Kinger, being a dev, saw bugs as errors of himself/others. But Queenie saw bugs as an extension of the coder, sort of the artist's hand in a piece of work. Just as each artist has their style, each coder has their way of coding, and as such, their way of making errors.
And the original bugs from when computers took a whole room were actually insects that got wherr they shouldn't! It's a full circle
There's a reason Kinger has survived the longest out of the players so far despite being seen as a nutcase. His memory isn't the best when he's in the light so for him, it's like a dream whenever he's back to being lucid in the dark. And when he is lucid, the man is strong enough mentally to keep going despite the seemingly hopeless situation he is in.
He was very competent in stressfull and while under time pressure
Hes not crazy, hes actually really really strong
Hes not crazy, hes actually really really strong
@@Leo-me5yt i mean he is crazy and when lucid is really strong.
I think the reason for Pomni's response to Jax is because she doesn't trust Jax enough to be completely and openly honest about her thoughts and feelings (honestly I don't blame her)
Was gonna say. Georgia was questioning why Pomni wasn't more open and honest about how Kinger really is as a person, and I was going "Well yeah, this is JAX she's talking to."
Plus, Jax was really obviously just fishing for mocking material and/or blackmail. Pomni's response was the best one she could've given to shut down what Jax was trying to pull.
very good points and makes me feel better about it
Honestly, Jax is exactly the last person you would ever want to open up to.
I figured she didn’t tell Jax because she didn’t know if Kinger wanted that info shared
Plus, they were literally in hell, not the most enjoyable of experiences
Kinger trusted Pomni enough to let her know about Queenie, only after a few days of her being in the circus, shows how close their bond became. It's sad that Kinger will forget their bonding, but set's the start for Pomni to OPEN UP to others, starting with Ragatha, something she struggled before. I feel really bad for him and I'm happy that he get's more love from the Fandom from now on.
Ok that’s new
i think that since he's usually inside his pillow fort he will be able to remember it for the majority of the time, or that's what I think at least
I think kinger has more trouble recalling than remembering past event. After all. He still remember how ragatha used to be when she first showed up.
There’s a somewhat subtle somewhat obvious hint that even though his forgetfulness severely affects his cognition/mental faculties, his underlying thought processes are pretty much the same so to speak. He gave the same advice to Pomni both times when it came to holding her breath, to not think about it. Even if he won’t remember having bonded with Pomni, their bond will remain deepened.
Tbh, I'm really excited for the next episode just to see how Pomni and Kinger will interact
Kinger glowing in the dark like an angel was probably my favorite scene
I mean, he WAS leading Pomni out of “hell”
And also the facts that pomni was color blue at the time made it look like she was the soul. When they where climbing the stairs it looked like they where going to heaven.
You noticed the angel's eyes are crooked like kingers?
forshadowing
Reminded me of Jesus Christ
I get why Pomni didn't want to tell Jax what really happened. He seems like the type of guy to mock her or even Kinger to entertain himself. Plus, no one in the circus had any conversations with real, deep, emotions before- well without dying of course... I have a feeling she didn't want to ruin the moment by telling everyone and them probably judging her.
yes didnt trust him makes sense
It’s her gaze that says, to me, that it’s more just her reminiscing on a more comforting adventure, rather than outright distrust.
Were she anyone else, then they’d probably outright tell Jax that it was nothing, to leave it alone, or &$!@ off.
For Pomni, this was a good day.
Jax puts the Ja in Jacka$$, so i understand why she didn't want to tell him her moment with the father of the group.
20:55 "As long as YOU REMEMBER it.." Fun fact if you didn't know: Pomni's name basically means "Remember" in russian, i think it's a cool detail
Another fact: Gooseworx came up with the name by coincidence. She just took two syllables that sounded nice together, looked it up to check if it was a naughty word in another language, and saw how perfectly it fit.
/Slovenian
12:03 I didn't even notice that detail till you found it!
Pomni is canonically Touch Averse. (Gooseworx, the creator of TADC said it, and you can see it in some of Pomni's body language in previous episodes) So the fact that Kinger was able to process this about her says a lot about how patient and understanding he is. Touching her WOULD have only made her feel worse.
And then before they walk down the hall of souls together, Kinger OFFERS Pomni his hand, he doesn't take her hand, and waits till she's comfortable with doing that before they proceed.
That is such a wonderful detail!
I noticed that in episode 2, while Kinger had the bucket on his head, he was able to remember the difficult time Ragatha had when she first got to the digital circus. It is the darkness of that bucket. However, when he took it off, he forgot.
I noticed that when Kinger has the shotgun in his hands, he always holds it upwards and NEVER points it in Pomni's direction, not even for a comedic gag, which is proper gun handling. Even an unloaded gun you never point at anyone or let it face a person even when you are at rest or idle. Any time he or Pomni moves in a way that would have put it in a position of pointing towards her, he moves it! It's a really nice detail that further proves that in this type of crisis, especially in the dark, he is reliable enough to remember how to properly use a weapon safely.
Probably means that these characters are from America as well.
@@TineaMothLord Or a country with mandatory military service, though I'd assume they're from the US just because Gooseworx and the majority of the staff are from there.
I feel like before he lost his memories he probably took on a fatherly role in the circus.
Like when he had a bucket on his head he talked to Ragatha like a father would to a older sibling talking about a younger sibling (and in the truck chasesence he did tried to help Pomni).
And now with Pomni he acts like a father trying to calm his kid down, he even protected her in this episode and cared for her when she got so scared her eyes poped out of her head.
The dedication to the outfits is everything.
24:40 I think Pomni just didn't want to spill too much to Jax since he's the least emotionally available of the group
I love how this show shows how kindness can be infectious in a way. Kinger used his moment of clarity to calm Pomni and encourage her, and then Pomni thanked Ragatha for showing concern and caring towards her, which probably meant an entire world to Ragatha being that she has people pleasing personality.
First, this cosplay, especially the kinger head, are amazing. Second, I really love this protective, thoughtful, side of Kinger. The way he's turned such a traumatic memory into his main source of comfort, how being surrounded by darkness and remembering it is what returns him to this lucid state is so heartbreaking. Even if Kinger doesn’t remember how he helped Pomni, I'm glad she knows someone cares.
yes i felt it was such a poignant episode and kingers sorry so heartbreaking. Thanks enjoyed doing the kinger head i think it came out pretty spot on
Ayyy I know you, you watch Elijah’s content!
THE COSPLAY HELP. thats really GOOD. The way he's just looming behind Georgia now
hahah had to have him with me come on he's so sweet
@@GeorgiaDow I love that sometimes the camera was confused about which face it should focus on XD
Kingers monologue is absolutely the best scene so far in the series. Gave me the same feels as "I remember you" from Adventure time which is really saying something
Despite from suffering from memory loss what can be described as dementia he is in a happy head space. He is still a nice person at heart focused on happy memories best state for him to be in.
24:32 I feel context is important here. That's Jax she's responding to. "Not bad" affirms it was nice without giving Jax any ammunition to use against herself or Kinger. If she had said, "I had a great time and learned something about myself." Jax would have probably made fun of Pomni losing her mind or something. Instead, her response gives hom nothing to work with, so he moves on.
Right from the start, I got the distinct impression that Kinger was dissociating from his surroundings -- something had happened to him that shook his hold on his personal reality, with trauma being the most likely candidate (the show's cast is a showcase of trauma responses). Even so, we got occasional glimpses at his lucid self whenever his _perception_ of that reality was being limited, as though the reduction in the amount of overwhelming stimuli was helping him focus; that improvement in focus as a result of narrowing the field of sensory information coming in lines up rather nicely with a facet of life on the autism spectrum, though I've spoken with other neurodivergent folks who relate to that as well, so Kinger being an Aspie might not necessarily be what they were aiming for (though it genuinely wouldn't surprise me if he _was!)._
I feel like the Digital Circus would be overstimulating for a full neurotypical person, so yeah, when you're neurodivergent, especially a type known for being very subseptable to overstimulation, like being on the autism spectrum, the Circus would feel like one of the rings of hell most of the time.
I know my ADHD ass would be tempted to try and burn it to the ground within just the first day.
He mentioned 7 years of being in computer science. I went into the same field, and autism (at least a little bit of it) is really common here. Most of my coworkers are on the spectrum.
0:01 😂 Love the Kinger cosplay!
Yeah, poor guy went through a lot during his time in the Digital Circus. Especially losing his wife due to Abstraction.
i know heartbreaking
I relate completely with Kinger. My thought process is all over the place, which is why when I am at work I write ideas down so I don't forget them. I get the finest stories, songs and poems since my work is monotonous and repetitive. Writing keeps me functioning and gives my brain a bit of a challenge.
I just remembered that pomni doesn't like being touched so for Kinger to comfort her in a different direction is just ❤chef's kiss❤
So I think you hit the nail on the head when you said Kinger's memories are _disorganized._ Because I 100% see it. I think Kinger remembers everything, it's just that his capability to recall everything as a concise sequence of events erodes when he's not in his comforting darkness. But he does remember, I am absolutely convinced. It's all just shrouded by "brain fog" if that makes sense. I have no proof but no also no doubts.
And about you disliking Pomni's response to Jax asking how her time with Kinger was, I think this is two things. One it's just general show writing, it's quite common that characters give vague, short, indirect answers to potentially meaningful questions like that, for various reasons. And two, the reason, I think Pomni's quite avoidant or reserved, and given how much of a jerk Jax is, I don't think she would have wanted to open up to him about how meaningful her interaction with Kinger was.
Yeh pomni does not trust Jax how shitty person who joke their problem she does not ruin her moment by him
My only issue with that line of logic is the hesitant "I got us into this mess, didn't I?" Starting the conversation like that pretty clearly seemed to indicate that he doesn't remember, or at least not clearly.
This episode reminds me a lot of adventure times ice king reveal in season 3. It recontexualizes a character that was previously written off as " just crazy" with deeper meaning and allows The viewer to feel sympathy for them. Great video as always❤❤
so happy you liked it = )
Caine also says "it's that adventuring time"
I'd love to see your take on Caine's attempt at being a therapist
That was something 😂
@@JasmineTea127yeh I really waiting for video zooble(and Caine)therapy section how Caine bad therapist
she's gonna take his license away 💀
Bro needid therapy himself not the person he tried to give therapy to
As someone who has Autism and ADHD, I found Kinger’s ability to function better in darkness pretty relatable. She has a point about how information overload can make it much more difficult to recall things most of the time. It can be frustrating for all parties when I have a more difficult time recalling things that were said, or memories of what I witnessed because there are so many things my mind is trying to process at once (both in the memory, and in the present). Being in a space that tones down the sensory overload can make it much easier to problem solve and even recall things.
And no one but Pomni, by the looks of it, knows about Kinger's mind when interacting with the dark.
Whether it be it never crossed Kinger's mind to tell the other's, or if he genuinly can't remember or tell a difference when he is in the light again.
Regardless, his speech to Pomni about as long as she remembers what happened, is all that matters.
Feel like with Kinger his fortress in a way keeps the memories in his mind with eventually down the line he will loose them if the fortress is gone after a certain amount of time
Having this lovely Kinger's head you made behind almost the whole vid was cute; your analysis as always was so good 👍✨
Yay, thank you! < 3 was so happy how it turned out
I recall reading a discussion on whether or not Kinger will remember how he treated Pomni while in "Hell", and someone said something along the lines of it's like knowing someone with dementia, they may not fully remember the exact events of what happened to them, but the feelings remain. Regardless of how much Kinger remembers from this particular adventure, he'll treat Pomni the way he always had... which, I suppose is simply being as helpful as he can be, with mixed results.
Edit: I'll admit, I also don't like using the term "crazy" when it comes to describing Kinger, at least not anymore. I guess I was OK with that descriptor back when he just seemed like a goofy character, but now that I know he CAN keep it together, given the right circumstances, I feel that "crazy" isn't the best word to describe him. Maybe forgetful or "out-of-it", not fully aware of his surroundings, I feel like just calling him "crazy" doesn't fully grasp what Kinger's deal is and does a disservice to his character... which is why it's a little disappointing to see Pomni say he'll go back to "being crazy" when they leave. At the very least, she knows the true Kinger, or at least Kinger at his best now.
Well she is not physiologist she just normal human she describes him who will he become
@@runajain5773 I mean, I'm not a psychologist either and I'd hesitate to simply call Kinger "crazy" now knowing what I know about him.
I dont like the term crazy being called for him too, though personally i gave Pomni a pass since i feel like she doesnt fully grasp the implications of that word and just used it as a descriptor for him since everyone else did. Your disappointment is understandable though since Kinger is definitely much more than that
Love the googlie eye Kinger head! You sell it on etsy?
nope but i was pretty chuffed how it turned out
0:28 neurospicy is my new favorite term
yay = )
I’ve heard it before (a few times now I guess) but it was definitely a slap on the back of the neck to hear from you lol (maybe that’s too negative, what I mean is that it was definitely a shock, very unexpected)
Neurospicy?
That's a new one
Somehow Kinger's speech to Pomni made me cry again. It was so sweet. So wholesome
I think it's important to recognise the difference between a character using a negative word and the show using it. If the characters just call kinger crazy, that just shows that they themself aren't well educated on psychology or are even being intentionally mean like jax, but it's different from the show presenting a character as that thing. I think it's even worse if the characters are being nice to the character in question, but the character themselves are presented in a negative way, for example "hey don't bully our friend, thats not nice" and then the character is behaving in a way that is stereotypical or negative. It comes off as phony and disingenuous, while with kinger situation, it comes of as more that the characters aren't informed of his condition, rather than the creator.
This episode really helped. This episode came out just after I lost someone very close to me. And your video made me realise how much I relate to kinger. I went through a lot of trauma and have mixed memories. I had a lot of death in general in the past 4 years and i can’t cry if I don’t talk about it so my body hold it and i actually end up physically hurt as a reaction. After so much lost i become very nurturing. I can never leave a conversation with the people i care about without a “I love you” because in reality I’ll never know when they’ll go but I want them to at least know I loved them in the end. Things that hold memories to me is, the moon, a paw, travel, holidays and now Christmas and birthdays. All those from different people. There’s a core part of us but what helps build us as a person are the people around us. Like kinger said “cherish the people around you” “as long as you remember, everything will be ok”
That scene also made me sad, sad enough it even made me cry. Kingers speech is just so well made, I love kinger he really is an angel.
Hi Miss Georgia! How are you?
I'm glad you're doing TADC!
Kinger is a wonderful character to analyze his quirks and peculiar characteristics.
You see, I'm autistic and have a mental disorder. So, I relate to Kinger so much.
I also love his fatherly relationship with Pomni.❤❤❤
thanks so much hannah = ) appreciate it
@@GeorgiaDowI did like you make another video about zooble Caine therapy section
I loved this video!! It would be awesome if you could cover the underrated part of the episode with Zooble with their dysmorphia. ❤
happening
@GeorgiaDow Hope you cover Caine's existential crisis as well even though it wasn't featured that heavily and he's an AI.
Some folks think he is adhd from the way he is all iver the place. And how he just said himself his 'brain wont let him remember things'
How Kinger is in the dark also explains why he was so calm and rational while talking to Ragatha with a bucket on his head in the second episode. Poor guy will do anything to spend time in the dark. Also, can we just appreciate how much of an absolute sweetheart Kinger is? This absolutely precious man is very paternal, even when he's not all there mentally as he was the one to try and help Pomni put her eyes back in her head and dove after Gangle's mask and, as mentioned, eased some of Ragatha's worries back in episode 2. He also provides love and gentle guidance when Pomni needs it the most and even tells her not to worry about him, even though it's clear that he's dealing with his own struggles that Pomni would want to do something about. He's basically the polar opposite of Jax: polite, gentle, and selfless, even if his thoughts are a disorganized mess.
If you made a second channel where you make your cosplay outfits, I would 100% watch that. They look really good.
I was beyond surprised how hard Kinger hit in this episode. I'm a little ashamed to admit, I was underestimating him the whole time, seeing him as nothing but a joke character, seeing him as a running gag and nothing else. I cannot wait to see how the character relationships form further, and I'll be looking forward to your takes every time. ^-^
1:05 gun safety king
i noticed that too, amazing detail from the animators. kinger knows his stuff
@@xlunipmaybe he enjoyed some range time when he wasn’t programming?
reminds me of the game shotgun King
@@AldinRamic I love seeing other undertale fans in the wild
Kinger is my fav and seeing an episode focused on him where he's not just a comedic relief. He has depth! Also, that dedication in your outfit is perfect!
poor guy is so traumatized, but also so kind and nurturing to the people around him, when he's coherent enough
I know these characters probably won't have a happy ending, but god I hope the best for him
I think the Lemon Demon song “Amnesia was her name” fits Kinger’s situation very well.
GASSPP I LOVE LEMON DEMON! I agree, that song is very kinger.
Someone should make an animatic of him with that song it would be so great
The mind is the thing to go in traumatic events
Surprise mask reveal. This made me love kinger as a character. Fantastic video.
Georgia Dow one of the best therapist cosplayers. I love the series.
Wow, thank you!
I believe Pomni's response to Jaxx at the end was an attempt to diffuse Jaxs antagonism without giving him any further ammunition for mockery.
If I remember what was said in the pilot, Kinger has been in the Circus longer than anyone else. And if you couple that with the fact that he's the only one who has this sort of behaviour, maybe we can assume that long-term exposure to that place has some sort of detrimental effect on their minds? :(
6:00 i loved that joke in the show too
mat pat is proud of your analysis
The way Kinger's memory loss and the way he regained memory, makes me question whether or not he's buffing. If we assume that they are mentally speaking physically inside the computer like Cain believes is it possible that Kinger's memory is so huge it is competing for processing time against the map ( the physical space they're in). I know it's not likely but I think it's still a possibility that would play out in a simple way.
This video was great! Can you also do one on zooble and her body dysmorphia?
yes happening
@@GeorgiaDow Oh, hooray! Thanks so much for responding 😀 I love your videos they're always so insightful, and they leave me wanting more. Kinger might be my favorite character after this episode.
Other people already said a similar thing, but I’m pretty sure that Pommi just said whatever would get Jax to back off and stop prying into her and Kinger, because…well…just look at how he treats Gangle and HER precious comedy mask. He seems like the kind of person to, at least at this point in the show, 100% mock or make fun of Kinger’s situation and any kind of emotional openness between the other characters. The kind to mock or destroy shrines or memorabilia of other peoples’ loved ones. If, say, Ragatha or Zooble had asked that question at the end, I think her answer might have been a little bit closer to what you were expecting.
Great vid! The kinger cosplay is amazing, very impressed with the head looming over your shoulder
Oh yes, Kinger! The boy needs it! 😭
I love kinger so much, thank you for this lovely analysis! Also the cosplay head is adorable!
I think she said that her experience with Kinger in the Haunted Mansion 'wasn't that bad' was because, yeah, they had an amazing heart to heart. But there was also them both experiencing very terrifying experiences that I'm sure she really didn't like. Without Kinger's heart to heart, I'm sure her answer to her experiences would've been "The worst" or "Absolutely horrifying". Kinger just made a bad and scary experience a bit better.
I love that the camera kept shifting between her and the Kinger head. Great video!
I can’t wait for the day you cover Pomni because I adore her. And also Ragatha when her episode comes.
In all fairness, Pomni's response to Jax towards the end could be more justified by who she was replying to. Jax was more than likely trying to get a rise out of her like he did earlier in the episode, and she wasn't giving that to him after what she and Kinger went through. I interpreted it as her dismissing Jax more than dismissing her experience with Kinger, but I can see where you're coming from with your opinion.
Edit: fixed typos
Yeh it like I would tell the that my good experience to that person he shitty jerk toward I do not ruin my good experience to tell that jerk whi just mock afterward
I've always liked Kinger. I'm glad he's getting more screentime, and I think your analysis of him was very well done.
😂🤣💀 love that Kinger mask and cosplay on you. Good to see you this Thursday night/Friday eve
thanks so very much as always
You got a kinger head!!! Your cosplays and handcrafts are always so charming ;v;
also the camera struggling with keeping you AND the kinger head in focus is so funny haha-
3:00 NOOO rip Kinger!!
That Kinger head is perfect
This episode definitely made me love Kinger even more, and I hope each of the characters get episodes like this too. My favorite character is Gangle. I can’t wait for that one!!
Gooseworx confirm every episode character centric episode like ep3 focus on kinger and zooble problem and next episode will gangle centric episode I also exicted why she like that
I think Kinger may have retained some memories. In episode 2, when Kingers wears a bucket on his head, he talks normally and remembers Ragatha's experiences when she first came to the circus. Though I'm not sure if his wife abstracted before or after that.
Kinger’s backstory just broke my heart and when they showed his abstracted wife leaning into his hand, ugh, that was just such a sad and tender moment.😭😭😭 It’s also really sad that Kinger learned to like bugs because of his wife and that he likely doesn’t remember that being the reason why.🥺🥺🥺
I love Kinger protecting Pomni so many times in this episode as well as comfort her and give her advice on how to survive the circus.❤❤❤ Him being the literal and metaphorical light for her is just so wonderful and touching.🥹💕💕💕
What’s also really sad is that it seems like no one else in the circus know about Kinger’s backstory because Jax and Zooble keep referring to him as insane/a nut without knowing that he’s able to regain his cognitive abilities when in a dark environment like his pillow fort.🥺🥺🥺
I love your cosplay outfit by the way.😊❤
< 3
As someone with severe ADHD, I often come across (and in many ways AM) almost as absent minded and forgetful as Kinger, so seeing this episode shine a light on this character and aknowledge his personality besides being the "crazy" one was really validating and nice :]
Can you please cover Alan Becker's Animator vs. Animation/Animation vs. Minecraft? I'm really interested on what you have to say about Purple and King Orange and their stories.
im so glad you covered kinger! love, love, LOVE this show, and kinger is my favorite character so far. my dad has dementia. it’s really hard. i also love that you like him enough to make a lil kinger cosplay! so cute
its a hard thing to go through I am sorry. But yes remember parts of him are still there
2:45 Well, if he doesn’t have traumatic brain injuries before, he sure as hell does now.
dude i was not expecting to hear neurospicy from a hand puppet today but im sat
hehe hope it brought you joy
@@GeorgiaDow it did indeed, your humor makes the videos more memorable. thank you!
For the longest time before viewing Episode 3, I was thinking Kinger withdrawing into his pillow fort was an extension of a E5 fixation. But I love how this episode managed to completely recontextualize his character.
11:28 that is interesting to me it means hes the only one that possibly knows who he was outside of the Digital Circus cause everyone else said they couldnt remember maybe its a glitch because of his memory issues or part of his own programing design before he went into the circus
Love that your camera keeps focusing on the kinger head
I love this episode not only for what it provided itself but it brings insight into Kinger's behaviour in previous episodes. Not only did we see a glimpse of a moment him being clear headed in the second episode when he had the bucket on his head and explains why specifically he likes being in his pillow fort, but throughout the whole show he consistently tries to help people out, even if usually he fumbles his hard. His heart is in the right place and his first instinct is consistently to help others out
The goat kinger
This allowed me ro process why I don't remember the worst racist experience Ive had. I often forget the professor that discriminated against me and just remember I had to fight a lot to report her but name, face, etc. are just a blur.
I dont want to remember it because it was an extremely stressful experience and it makes me hurt and cry whenever I revist it. You brought sense on to why I cant remember it while so many others do
I do the same thing
I seriously stopped in my tracks for a sec when I saw the Kinger costume's head, caught me by surprise haha amazing
My favorite detail in the episode how kinger slowly gets smarter and more aware with each delve into darkness.
The intro! 😂
happy you liked it
Kinger was always my favourite so this episode and your analysis was right up my alley
I think it's really cute thathe says "not think about it" and that is the first time we've really seen him think about something (well other than the moment we had 30 seconds prior) he has clarity and we get to see him when he is able to think clearly. He's a literal beacon of light for somebody, that's adorable.
Thank you for your input!
Do you think you'll do the Zooble subplot, too? I think it'd make for some great discussion of body dysmorphia/gender dysphoria.
I like offering my hand & telling the person they can hold my hand if they want. I loved this
if by your definition Crazy implies damage beyond repair then i'd argue that fits Kinger pretty well. The man has a broken scattered mind where thoughts leave his head as quickly as they entered to the point he doesn't know or remember half the stuff he says or does.
I bawled my eyes out watching this episode. I lost my grandma to dementia in February after living with us for 3 years. I genuinely didn’t understand how impactful it was to me to see good Alzheimer’s/dementia representation in media. So when they come back out and Kinger’s lucidity is gone, but Pom I is sweet and knowing, I felt like I was with my grandma again for like the first time in a year (the last several months she was incredibly bedridden and feeble, so the she didn’t even have the strength to be lucid most the time)
I like the internal interconnection focus and how they wrote this episode for Kinger when the episode starts this adventure supposing to be a Zooble ( a character built of changeable external pieces) specific adventure
I feel a sort of attachment to the kinger.for the different reasons but for me i cant remember the tragedy only that their was a feeling of a tragedy i think
its a weird time for me when this episode came out
i saw how protective kinger is with pomni and knowing his backstory i get why he was once he can finally focus and recall enough memory to be normal
i didn't know this until yesterday but one of my best friends dads passed away.
when this episode came out it was a few days after he passed. and the reason i feel for kinger and feel protective like he is is due to the fact my friends dad was murdered in a road rage incident and it has hit me hard
i spent the last 24 hours on and off with crying and tearing up.
i am going through so many emotions and grief right now and its hard since it just happened
however i know as time passes i will come to accept what happened and still feel sad but at the same time value my life and my family and friends more than before
That is the most disturbing thing I’ve seen in a while. I don’t like scary stuff. He is still a genius, to make such a scary episode and a heartfelt episode at the same time this is the first time I’ve seen it done and work
Kinger has a beautiful soul.😢
One thing to mention is that when he was holding the shotgun and Pomni stepped forward he (seemingly instinctively) pulled the shotgun up to avoid pointing it at her when she was moving past him. These "muscle memory" skills are also among the most resilient things and least likely to be lost or forgotten. (even people with serious amnesia can still remember how to walk, swim, ride a bike, etc. for instance) His barrel discipline there strongly indicates that he's previously been well-trained with firearms and kept that skillset, even if he doesn't remember that he has it.
im so glad im not the only one who thought this
when i saw this episode i kept seeing eyes in the tape recorder but every time i subconsciously saw them i could see them as soon as it was becoming a conscious thing
i thought i was going insane
I'm always amazed at the quality of your costumes!

MOTHER OF PEARL, I was just wondering earlier today if you would do this. YESSS.
Also braving this awful monster for ma boi.
I suffered a major depressive period due to the medication I was taking in Jr. High.
I have a 3 year gap in my memory with only snippets of things I can genuinely recall.
The largest memories from that time are surrounding the books I was reading at the time.
Reading Beautiful Creatures with my friends as they were talking about their dreams and aspirations.
Reading Dark Life at the lunch table as a friend introduced me to Three Days Grace.
And so many other snippets of memories associated with what I was reading, because everything else was so hard for me back then
Please do a short series on Good Omens! I think you will love it!
