Gangle might be worse then Jax
I love Gangle I do but the more I thought about her character the more i questioned her.
Caine fixes every mask or at least the same mask every time she brings it up or learns that it’s broken yet this room of hers contains multiple broken masks that could easily be fixed.
I believe Gangle enjoys playing the victim and is a huge attention seeker for 2 reasons the first is that it fuels her art which she uses as a form of sublimation which describes a mature, subconscious psychological defense mechanism where a person channels socially unacceptable impulses, trauma, deep sadness, or physical suffering into productive, beautiful, or creative activities.
The other reason is that she enjoys what being frail gives her, everyone cares and looks after her which also strokes that attention seeking side of her, she clings to the person strongest in the group who also pity’s her which is Zooble and is rewarded with….a roll in the hay.
according to gooseworks Gangles relationship with Jax was codependent and has complex feelings about loosing him to abstraction even though he just bullied her but it allowed Gangle to have an excuse for her behaviour.
In the spudsy’s episode gangle gets a new plastic mask with a unique expression and it gives her a positive personality but also makes her a little crazy only to spiral into sadness that she gets herself hit by a truck which she might’ve conjured herself subconsciously, the real gangle also got hit by a truck and after recovering started doing web comics.
In that spudsy’s episode she was made manager giving her the most power out of everyone and it made her miserable as time passed but also made her true self peak through, she doesn’t want to feel in control or be another cog in the machine she wants people to dote on her and notice her and how unique she is.
Like most artists she seeks attention and gratification and like most content creators that put on a mask for their audience and lie all the time and when they’ve been caught decide to read a script while playing guitar.
The black mask represents the culmination of those feelings reflecting the fact she was never the victim but someone who’d go so far as to frame you for harming them, it might be the shine or glare whatever but if you look closely at the black mask you can see a large black grin.
It also might be why we don’t see an evil gangle because she’s it!, sure we get evil Jax but regular Jax wasn’t doing the things he did for his amusement he was just in so much pain that he tried to just distract and play off everything that happened.
