0:00 characters rooms actually hide way more than we can imagine. Today, we're going to talk about the real purpose of the rooms, why they look so weird, figure out why we still haven't been shown the rooms of Regatha and Gangal, and also figure out why the rooms of abstracted characters eventually turn into what looks like a ward for a seriously mentally ill person, even though at the moment of abstraction, [music] they should look normal, which we were shown with Jax, who on one hand was one step away from turning into an abstracted monster, but his room looked totally normal. First off, it's important to understand that right now we have a full picture of how only three rooms look. Zubel's room, >> so it won't break as easily. Try it on. >> Jax's [music] room's [gasps] room. 0:53 It's also important to understand that technically we did see Kinger's room. And of course, I'm talking about his pillow fort. >> Hi, Gangle. Hi, Zubel. You startled me. >> We're currently preparing everything, but we need to keep it quiet so Kane doesn't stop us. >> However, we all understand perfectly well that this is just a homemade, so to speak, structure that Kinger built himself with a single purpose, which we'll talk about a bit later. Despite the fact that the pillow fort is Kinger's room, and in most fans view, he doesn't have any other room. If you watched episode three closely, then during the scene with Kinger's memories of the moment his wife got abstracted, we could notice some outlines of his room. To understand why Kinger chose to live in the pillow fort, and trust me, the dark space that lets Kinger stay sane [music] isn't the only reason. First, we need to talk about the rooms we already know well. Pomny's room was shown to us way back in episode 2, [music] and we can pretty much immediately notice a few weird details. Pomny's bed looks way too huge for her. Same goes for this, so to speak, nightstand, [music] the chair, or the 1:47 table. The mirror in Pomny's room also looks way too big. And the funniest part is that it's meant so Pomny could look at herself full height. But if you just compare Pomney's size and the size of that mirror, it's pretty [music] obvious that would be kind of difficult. Even the toys in Pomny's room look way too big for her size. You could say the same thing about the blocks, but if you look at their size in the other rooms, you'll realize that's just the standard size for those items. Considering that Pomni herself is the smallest character in the digital circus, while her room clearly isn't designed for that at all, we can understand that this way Pomy's room acts as a reflection of the oppression coming from the digital circus. This is just the beginning, and things are going to get way more complicated and interesting from here. But for now, let's take a look at the rooms of the other characters. [music] We all know Zubel's main problem that she talked about back in episode 3. >> It's me, remember? I don't like myself. I hate this body. I hate all these stupid removable pieces. I just want to find something that feels good. >> Not accepting your own body is a pretty 2:48 common problem that the show creators conveyed through Zubel's character. Now, take a closer look at her room. Insanely weird wallpaper and carpet. Zubel's box where she keeps all her parts. A huge amount of mirrors. A marble statue of a woman from the Renaissance era. All these details literally traumatize Zubil every single day, reminding her of the internal problems she lives with. The mirrors force her to look at herself every day. The box with parts won't let her calm down and settle on one thing. And the marble statue reflects how Zubil would want to look. At this point, after breaking down Zubil and Pomni's rooms, we already understand perfectly well that each character's room is deliberately designed to constantly remind them of their main issues. We're not talking about some global problems related to health or for example their life as a whole, but about certain internal complexes and the things that bother these characters [music] every single day. It's very possible that in the real world Pomni was short and that this was actually a problem for her. Her room basically reflects that. In this [music] context, it's insanely interesting to talk about Jax's room. 3:47 And since in episode 7, we were shown a very dark scene where it's pretty hard to make anything out. We're going to look at the colored version of his room. From the very [music] first seconds, you can tell this is a room meant for a girl. Everything is pink, rainbows, some kind of kids table and chairs, a pink diary on an equally pink table. [music] We know Jax is a young 22-year-old guy. But the question is, why does his room look like it belongs to a 5-year-old girl? This is where things get more interesting because earlier I said that a room reflects the real inner struggles of the characters. So then why does Jax's room look like this? There's a theory that because of Jax, a car crash happened and the image of the person Jax hurt got burned into his memory so deeply that it literally started haunting him. That event likely became the biggest trauma in Jax's life and that's exactly why his room looks the way it does. However, like I already said, this is just a theory, and to me, the reason behind this interior feels completely different. [music] In our previous videos, we already talked about the fact that deep down Jax is actually a very sensitive and sentimental 4:45 character while all that performative rudeness. >> Ladies first. No, wait. Why would I say that? >> Hey, that's good of you, P. >> Let's take this dumb truck to the dumb kingdom, I guess. Come on, Saddy. You're coming with me. >> I'm actually going to be on a team with Zubil. >> What? No, you're not. We've been together for every team adventure in the past. >> This is just an attempt to hide behind a tough guy mask that has nothing to do with reality. Most likely after losing his close friends, Jax decided to act in a way that would make sure no one would ever want to talk to him again, stripping himself of even the smallest chance of going through the same thing Jax went through after the abstraction of Calfmo and Ribbit. [music] So, this way we understand that Jax's room reflects his weakness because inside the body of a 22-year-old man, there's a little girl hiding who's scared of absolutely everything. Wrapping up this midpoint, we can see that the character rooms were created by the digital circus itself based on the fears, complexes, and inner struggles of the characters. 5:45 They were deliberately designed this way to traumatize the circus residents even more, not letting them live peacefully in this digital prison. On top of that, the show creators made the rooms in a way that lets us immediately understand what exact problem is bothering each character, reflecting a lot of what happens in the real world. How many people hide their true self behind some kind of mask? How many can't find themselves or struggle because of their parameters? Even if we look at Ragatha's room, we see a piano. Everyone remembers Raggatha's relationship with her mom. >> We had a large property with horses and chickens. And my mother, uh, well, my mother was a lot. Uh, I worked in real estate for a bit until I ended up here. I'm sure she doesn't miss me. I certainly don't miss the yelling and the braiding and guilt tripping. Maybe the piano is a reflection of failed attempts to build a connection with parents who are never satisfied with their child. Or take Gangal, whose room is probably the most stylish, but at the same time the 6:46 darkest and so to speak the scariest. Her room reflects [music] the struggles of people with mental instability since constant mood swings without a reason often don't let a person calm down, pushing them deeper and deeper into darkness. [music] At least that's how I see it. And of course, if you've got your own thoughts on this, I'll be glad to see them in the comments. However, let's still return from the real world back to the digital circus [music] and talk a bit about Kinger, who as we know lives in his pillow fort instead of the room assigned to him. To me, the reason for this is pretty obvious since Kinger is one of the very first [music] characters who ended up in the digital circus. And over time, he realized what the real purpose of the rooms is. After Queenie got abstracted, Kinger finally decided to move into the pillow fort for good so that no mention of his inner problems would bother him ever again. However, I was insanely interested in the question of why the rooms of characters who turned into abstracted monsters look the way they do and why Kane doesn't delete them from the digital circus. The answer is actually pretty simple. Kane doesn't have access 7:41 to a character's closed room since this place is defined by the system as a private zone of the character that the AI can't enter. That's exactly why Kane was able to get into Zubel's room only at the moment when the door was opened. Even after abstraction, the system keeps each room assigned to a specific character, slightly modifying it. I'm sure Kuffmo couldn't have drawn all of that while being on the edge of abstraction. Most likely after Kuffmo turned into that creepy creature, the system remembered his last thoughts and inner struggles and projected all of that onto Kofmo's room. As usual, I'm waiting for your thoughts in the comments, and I'll see you very soon in the next
