[@DrawtoonzStudio]

I love how in the actual pilot, Pomni is (understandably) never shown truly happy, yet here she's laughing nonstop. Just a minor departure from her character.

[@Zack_Zander]

I wonder what will be the second episode. Will there be a time skip, or will it take place right after the pilot?

[@DrawtoonzStudio]

@@Zack_Zander My guess is that it'll start shortly after the ending of the pilot.

[@diy-guyishere7615]

​​@@Zack_ZanderYou're talking about the first Ep bc the Pilot ain't the first.

[@sunkyFalso]

I believe that after being under pressure for years, eventually you will get used to it, that is, if there is an episode that happens years later, perhaps the pomni was more "calm"

[@bailey57401]

I think we'll see more of Pomni's personality show in the next episodes, she just spawned in such a chaotic environment so naturally she's going to be doing nothing but freaking out in the pilot

[@LucyStroner]

One of jax’s lines in tadc is: “whatever u say, kid” to pomni and shes literally 3 years older than him💀

[@jammington24]

Jax saying “we’ve been here for years”, and him being only 22 makes you wonder how long has each one of them been in the digital circus. Was it ever confirmed who had the least time in there besides Pomni?

[@MellowToons]

I believe it was Zooble!

[@mirandamartin4001]

22 could be the age he entered. Everyone probably doesn’t age and is frozen in time

[@timeless9534]

According to Gooseworx on Tumblr, Zooble was the most recent addition to the circus before Pomni. We also know that, thanks to GlitchX 2023, Jax chose his own name and came up with Gangle's name, indicating that he was in the circus before Pomni, Zooble and Gangle. Gooseworx also confirmed that Ragatha was in the circus for the second longest next to Kinger, so now we have the order of arrivals: Kinger, Ragatha, Jax, Gangle, Zooble, and Pomni. Jax is, surprisingly, one of the earlier arrivals, which seems to suggest that he arrived as (probably) a teenager or barely-legal adult. Heck, maybe even an adolescent if we REALLY want to make the circus even more messed up.

[@whatamidoingwithmylife6969]

@@timeless9534 they actually dont age in the digital circus because they cant die. not of old age, sickness or injuries etc. so jax probably entered when he was 22 and stayed that way for the whole time. but thanks for confirming the order of arrivals tho. rlly helpful.

[@animefox360]

This just gave a sudden burst of excitement for the future of the show. Consider this, despite, in the beginning, Pomni being the most psychologically disturbed by her new life within TADC. She is dressed as a jester, and unlike a clown who pokes fun at themselves, a jester pokes fun at others. So imagine later in the series, after slowly adapting to all the craziness of TADC, Pomni learns to turn Jax's jokes inside-out and suddenly SHE'S the one, driving HIM insane 🤭😏😈🃏
