From what I understand Cooper used to work at a macca's and that's why episode 4 is set in a faux late 90s to early 2000s mcdonalds. Also have you guys heard of the slugbug art that gooseworx drew?
The more I think about it the more I remember how fascinating this guy has been and the more I want to make a thread. The guy in on a razor edge of DFE I think, so I better download everything now, I've been passively following this guy for like 10 years until TADC happened
Honestly the most fascinating thing about TADC isn’t the show itself but how it serves as a look into the psyche of an autistic MtF tranny. Over in the TADC thread I saw someone point out how just about every main character seems to have an aspect of Gooseworx in them or otherwise serves as some form of wish fulfillment:
-Jax has been explicitly identified as a self-insert by Goose himself, and I think is specifically meant to be an allegory for how Goose perceives his “former” masculine identity. He’s also deliberately meant to be contrasted with Ragatha whom I see as Goose’s idealized feminine self.
-Speaking of Ragatha, she is apparently based on Raggedy Ann in the Raggedy Ann movie, which was apparently one of Goose’s favorite movies growing up. I wouldn’t be surprised if a young Goose latched on to the character and that influence was some sort of “egg-cracking” moment.
- Gangle is a struggling artist who wants to be creative yet was forced to toil in a dead end fast food job, which was exactly the same story with Goose as outlined by
@The Great One
-Zooble is a geometric entity very similar to Goose’s oc representation of himself, suffers from identity issues and is explicitly non-binary
-Caine can be read as an autism allegory as he seems to struggle to comprehend human emotions and relate to the human cast. Let’s be real, there is no way Goose himself isn’t on the spectrum.
-Bubble is voiced by Goose himself and is a weird sexual deviant.
-Kinger is a bit harder to pin down but since he often acts as a sort of father figure to Pomni and some of the others I suspect that he might be a representation of a desire for a father figure. Many troons often grow up with deficient/absent father figures so I wouldn’t be surprised if that was the case for Goose as well.
-Admittedly, I don’t really know how Pomni fits into this other than being interpreted as both general goonbait as well as the “girl failure” archetype trannies really like.
Also, the central thesis of the show seems to boil down to “there is no meaning to life other than being a ‘heckin good person (according to the standards of 21st Century liberalism)”, which is an unsurprising worldview for a troon.
