Arcana Analysis--The Amazing Digital Circus: Gangle (The Moon)

Only the fourth so far, but this one was the most difficult for me in terms of choosing which arcana fits best. Here we go!

Next up is Gangle, a super-emotional woman with the motif of masks. Also the star of the most recent episode, which most of this essay will cover. I chose her card as The Moon, number eighteen in the arcana deck. A card representing illusions, anxiety, and the subconscious, it fits very well with Gangle's limelight episode, Fast Food Masquerade.

Gangle's most prominent character trait is her comedy and tragedy masks, both of which represent her moods. She's cheerful in the comedy mask, and downbeat in the tragedy mask. Unfortunately, the former gets broken easily, and it happens a lot, thus most of the time Gangle is in tragedy mode. Here's the thing, though--Gangle's real face is her tragedy mask. So what does that make her comedy mask?Fast Food Masquerade gives us an answer. Not only does the title itself hint at Gangle's true nature, it also evokes The Moon.

After yet another comedy mask is broken thanks to Jax, Gangle is offered an unbreakable plastic mask by Zooble, a player with an abstract body. She's delighted by the new mask, and it gives her a mood boost. Then we get to the adventure of the day, Spudsy's. Gangle is made the shift manager by Caine the ringmaster. Sounds like a moment of stupidity, considering Gangle's meek personality up to this point, but as it turns out, she has experience in the role stemming from her pre-Circus life. She takes the job very seriously, and the mood boost allows her to dominate Jax for once.

Now comes the dominant theme of the episode--"masking". We pretend to be different from our true selves in a certain situation. And it can't get any more literal than Gangle and her masks. Despite the mood boost, she doesn't seem to truly be happy. As a matter of fact, there are visual and aural clues that she's slowly losing her sanity over the course of the workday, meaning that she was dangerously close to Abstracting. The two key moments are when Jax and Ragatha comment on Gangle's new chipper nature; the former says "I like you better when you're sad", and the latter, hopped up on Stupid Sauce, says "you're kind of annoying when you have your happy mask". Both of them are followed up by a *tink* and a close-up on Gangle. Indeed, Gangle just seems to be faking her happiness with the comedy masks. After sunset, she takes a moment by herself to take off her mask and scream in frustration, unaware that Pomni was close behind. Despite the latter's attempts to reach out to her, Gangle puts the comedy mask back on and tries to mirthlessly laugh it off. She remains miserable for the rest of her shift until Pomni offers to close up shop for her. Once Gangle leaves, she throws away her mask, and despite being in "tragedy mode", she's able to genuinely feel joy and bliss, even if only for a moment.

We also get to dip into Gangle's mind and get some insight as to why she was especially stressed during the adventure. When she punishes Jax for his comment, she uses an instructional video where she makes fun of the viewer for having the dream of being a comic artist. It's a pretty specific rant, which comes back in the end when it's shown that Gangle is an artist herself. So perhaps before the Circus, she wanted to be a comic artist, but was instead working as a shift manager at a restaurant. Perhaps the adventure dug up some bad memories for her, which she kept to herself even when Caine brought up the idea of working at Spudsy's. That's an example of The Moon Reversed, where you push your feelings further within your subconscious.

To cap it off, Gangle's story is evocative of The Moon with the prominent themes of masking. Perhaps in the future, she may start becoming more comfortable with showing her real self and eventually stand her ground against Jax. (please Goose, she's suffered enough! :(( )

he really is an angel huh 🤔

it's opposite day in kinitosyte!

kinitosyte is by @can-your-kinitopet

paroro's first ever ref sheet

she used to play with yoyos and was a satanist

tysm for tagging me @violight-ghost ! it means sm (:

favorite color: eggshell white! i like it because it feels very me (also because white is punpun's signature color) (i relate to him on a mental level)

last song listened to: friend analysis by fandroid music (it's mid) (i listened to it because someone on the kinitopet tumblr said it's bangin) (it's not)

currently reading: "you look at me the same" by imperialtrash on ao3. it's a sharon marsh x linda stotch fanfic (south park fanfic) (it's banging) (i'm a sucker for rarepairs)

currently watching: smiling friends because my friends said it's cool and funny (it is)

currently craving: food that's hot and savory (it could be anything because i'm poor and desperate)

coffee or tea: does milktea count? coffee makes me anxious and tea is boring asf (i'm not british so i don't get the hype)

i'm going to tag @yourmaidsp @anek939 @dellnet @triggerette @crzakioo @valentinerosse next! others can join too (: have fun!

Got tagged by @qrevo on one of those Get to know me tag games (pretty awesome)

Favourite colour: Uhhh... Big fan of black, you know? Most of my clothes are black and it is nice on my eyes. Also, it reminds me of my cool, yet wicked soul. I also like gray a lot.

Last song listened to: I have not been really on a music mood these last months, but I did recently download ACTIVE PAIN on my phone because I could not find it on my usual music places. It plays at the end of the Umineko chapter three tea party and I like the lyrics because they are about Ange (good character). That does not really give any new information about me, so I will share some songs I have had on loop recently. Una Nube Cuelga Sobre Mi, song for my lost ghost friend, and Spinning Wheel

Currently reading: I have not been on a reading mood lately, so I am not exactly "currently" reading it, but Umineko (still at chapter six), which is my current obsession (you should read it), and Higurashi (still at chapter two [also read this one])

Currently watching: I have not been on a mood to watch movies or series (starting to see a pattern) and I am not a big fan of watching them anyways, but I was watching Revolutionary Girl Utena last year (I stopped at the end of the Black Rose arc, still a really interesting anime). And I am not sure if it counts, but I have been watching a lot of survival horror games from Toaster's channel (I really like horror games[they are interesting])

Currently craving: I could really use several boxes of pizza right now and maybe weed

Coffee or tea: I am scared of coffee and tea has never tasted particularly nice to me. I usually just drink water

Apparently I got to tag six people so uhhh... @dogboyrufus @snowiewowee @no1withablog @bitchboi-gogurt @goosdra @when-they-meow and you 🫵 unless you do not want to
