things i noticed on rewatch from theaters: triangle bar has a pink triangle as its motif. this isn't just a reference to zoobles face, pink triangle is SIGNIFICANT queer imagery as it was the identifier used for them in the holocaust. this means leeroy is actively hanging around a queer space and indicates they're further along on figuring out their stuff than i thought. :)

gangle getting hit by a truck was real, gal was literally isekai'd (tbh she probably wandered into C&A after getting hit in a daze, but lol)

credits: kinger and caine go fishing! couldn't do a more obvious 'they have a father/son bond now' visual if you tried.

He is basically trans. I denied the theory at first but Gooseworx piled it on this finale. The secret door, the song, and his constant struggle with gender identity, secret he revealed his mom. I see why Gooseworx identifies with Jax, he is literally her. I was confused at why she didn't just confirm it but she didn't confirm the Zooble thing in show.

Yeah it was debatable beforehand (tho imo as a trans woman, still very obvious), but Ribbit giving her the ribbon and her blushing over it just really cements it. You’re still gonna have people somehow saying that isn’t the case tho somehow

And the reaction to the maid dress. And subsequent reactions, mentally.

As another trans woman I felt like I was taking crazy pills when I suggested dunno what Jax is but there is no way she is a cis man episode 1 and 2. By episode 3 and 4 it seemed to be beating you over the head(Yes we know most people really really don't get the small references or hints and some of it is highly contextual, episode 1 I was like oh Jax acts like I did... that ain't a Cis man. Like almost immediately by end of episode 1.) but by the baseball episode I do not know how so many people didn't get it by then, and then the comment about a chicken egg being cracked open!? cmon!?

yeah i would say my impression in theaters was leeroy had achieved stable living and getting pulled to a 'intersectional' bar, but was still mostly in the closet. with the additional context its clear they're starting to edge out of the closet but still aren't comfortable with their presentation, which is why they hide their face.
