Jax is not an npc

I've seen the idea of Jax being an npc being floated around after ep2's release, which while i ADORE this idea in concept (as some parts of it explain certain parts of his character )that doesn't mean that this is the answer as to why Jax is the way he is.

Jax is a self absorbed, sarcastic, and non-serious character who seems to know far more than he actually should so far with what we've seen. He is the only human who has broke the forth wall , not just once, but twice, and has a very performative 'vibe' to him. Like he's on some sort of stage a bit like Cain does. Due to this, and with the plot of episode 2, people have drew the conclusion that this MUST mean Jax is an npc which, eventho it is deffo plausible , there are several reasons why i do not think this is the case, and people are trying to jump to conclusion too quickly to find an explanation to these questions.

1.Pop culture reference

Jax in episode 2 makes an offhaded joke about Charlie and the chocolate factory, a popular piece of media that most people do know about. It seems pretty insignificant but boy is this a really important detail.

With the recent release of other teasers of the next episodes that are yet to come, in terms of copyrighted media showing up in the game, we can see that Cain INTENTIONALLY makes off branded versions of popular parts of our world such as McDonalds and other fast food brands

So for Jax to make a pop culture references, the names would likely have to be inaccurate from the actual piece of media, being...well...off branded versions of them. The fact he literally uses the accurate name "Augustus Gloop" adding an "ed" on the end for comedic effect shows that he HAS seen or heard of the actual piece of media, which would be impossible if he was an npc.

furthermore, say even the offbranded version was due to glitch themselves not being able to use actual brands in the show visually (which is also highly likely), the implication that Cain made an ai that was aware of these sorts of things is almost nonsensical considering that gummigoo didn't know anything outside of the established plot he needed to serve his in game purpose. When another npc doesn't even have a visual memory of his own mother, something closely linked to the established motive of an npc, why would Cain give an ncp knowledge of random pop culture reference for no reason ?

i would say this is a pretty strong point to put the argument forward Jax is not an npc.

2.NPC's immersive feature

this point is a little less strong, but is still a very important one to make.

I think people are forgetting that Gummigoo is intentionally meant to be far more immersive compared to pervious ai. We are going on the basis of Jax being an ncp , based on how intelligent Gummigoo is, which with the timeline we have, would not exactly work out that way.

Obviously, Cain establishing that the ai SHOULD be more immersive, doesn't mean it will be, but if we take into context the episode prior, it does actually seem to be somewhat more advanced in a way than it wasn't before, dialogue being a bit less generic and more fluid . With the consideration this is only Pomni's second adventure, and the ai already seemingly at least, being far better than the last, that could imply that going back a couple of adventures before Pomnis arrival , this ai was much more primitive.

Looking at when Jax arrived could give us some idea of how good the ai was at the time, and with gooseworx establishing jax arriving before zooble (who already seems to have grumpily adjusted to the world) , i would imagine that Jax, if he was an npc, would be far less advanced then he currently is and much more one dimensional as a character to hint at him being an npc....which brings me onto my next point.

3."Jax is violent and impulsive " argument

I've seen the occasional argument that Jax being violent and impulsive could be an argument for him being an npc. He realized he has no purpose, so started being violent and uncaring of the world around him, but this argument completely disregards the fact that...the human characters kind of have that 'reality shattering' moment too. Pomni does, which is why she can relate in the first place to Gummigoo.

All of the human characters have to come to the scary realization that, they are stuck here. Stuck in a fake world. Most of the characters draw closer to each other people that are real because of this as some form of comfort such as Pomni and Ragatha, but Jax is own person, and different people react differently to different situations. Jax just happens to react in a rather emotionally distanced way to the seriousness of the situation.

He seems to be the most emotionally immature character, so it makes complete sense as to why he would react in an immature manner. Not to mention he is the youngest out of all the cast, and may have been even younger when entering the digital circus.

When an emotionally immature, impulsive , frankly not very morally amazing person is told they can basically do whatever they like with little to no repercussions to their actions, what are they going to do? Cause chaos of course, which is exactly what Jax does.

he even more so causes chaos by breaking one of the only rules he's can't break, the whole keeping everything family friendly.

This seems to be his way of coping with the situation and seriousness at hand, brushing it aside and acting impulsively instead because he knows full well he couldn't do this in the real world, it also keep him emotionally distant from everyone else, which seems to be an intentional move by him as he doesn't go to Kaufmo's funeral despite briefly seeming upset about the matter.

He cares in his own weird way, but he refuses to show that to the rest of the cast (unimportant but i wanna add as well, it is common for men to be emotionally closed off due to the idea vulnerability for men esp is a bad thing, which ofc it is not ).

Which also builds up off my pervious point that despite his exterior, Jax isn't one dimensional or flat as a character, which if he was an old ai npc he probably would be 1d, and we wouldn't have this small moment of slight care from him, despite still trying to stay distant.

Final thoughts

So what about the forth wall breaking? him owning keys to all the rooms? Well quite honestly, i don't think we know enough about him or anyone to fully know why Jax is the only one to do this. It could be for some deep lore meaning, or it could be simply he is the comic relief character so is the one to do this more consistently than the rest.

Personally, i DO think it's something deeper, what that deeper thing is yet is something i'm sure will be explored in future episodes, but rn, i think jumping at the first thing is not an amazing idea (eventho it is a super interesting and exciting one).

Just thought i'd share my feelings as this is the only theory i've seen around rn abt my fav stupid purple bunny.

I promise I am alive, I am doing all my coursework still tho and am ill. I have two fnaf artworks in the works that may actually include bgs and that aren't just ref sheets or smth . Rare ik 😳😳 I'm going to focus more on narrative artwork hopefully, so it's more about story as it gives me more motivation to draw ! I do love designing tho won't lie

i 100 percent agree with you , as much as i do love my toxic silly old men , with family drama.

I think i might know why, at least in my experience, people in the fandom seem to have less wacky aus.

I usually rp a ton of wacky aus privately , and decided to throw out publicly just a silly idea of William , instead of possessing a full on rabbit suit, possessing an ACTUAL tiny , normal rabbit. It was something really dumb where you'd have mike running after a small ratty zombie bun instead. I had a couple ideas for the reasoning, but at first it was just sum dumb off the top of my head idea. Nothing too out there.

Well , i posted art of it to a sever, and at first ppl were really sweet, i got fanart and ppl talking about ideas for this au. It was very fun.... that is till it had to be soured by someone else there.

I had a guy (no shade to him btw, he seemed chill outside of this ), start to quiz me on it, but in a "is it lore accurate " way. i explained to him several times the intent wasn't for it to be a serious, lore accurate take on the story , more just something silly and funny for the lols, but he didn't seem to take no for an answer, mentioning how it wouldn't be accurate and wouldn't be possible in the fnaf universe.

This kind of annoyed me and also caused everyone else to also seemingly got annoyed as everyone stopped talking about it and it wasn't really brought up again once he started.

Because of this experience, and looking at the fandom as a whole, i really do think it's due to the obsession of things HAVING to be lore accurate for the most part and a bit of the whole ' cringe' culture stuff. I do think the fnaf fandom has started to get slightly toxic with it all and in general tbh, which hasn't helped either.

People antagonizing new fnaf fans , anything that differs from the norm being called cringe etc.... I've even see people been told they can't make the animatronics into anthro furry type characters because thats weird or something?

I don't even know. I just think some (keyword some) fnaf fans sadly sour everything for everyone else, and while i don't mind if ppl want the lore and their own aus a certain way, i think forcing other people to comply to that, is stomping on a lot of the creativity the fandom could get.

FNaF AU's are starting to get same-y.

I feel like after FNaF SL and 6 many Five nights at Freddy's fans have been sticking to the same general story beats. Not wanting to deviate form the preexisting narrative that has already been provide to us by Scott. Only gingerly touching the concepts that the books had to offer. And I'm left wondering: Why? Why are we as fandom refusing to get weird with our AU's now? Like, do things that don't at all align with the timeline whatsoever.

Do weird crossovers, hell have The Afton kids be virtual assistants that become sentient and wish to escape the confines of their limited reality using animatronic bodies and illusion discs. Have Cassidy or Evan be a menace. Have Evan express literally any other emotion other than 😢.

Just anything that isn't :The entire FNaF timeline, but in my art style!: Get crazy with it, get messy with it. It's your AU, you should use elements of the five nights story yes! But at the end of the day it should still have your mark.

I'm not trying to rag on anyone's AU with this, or say you can't follow the lore if you want to. I just miss when this fandom used to take the concept of haunted robots to weird and wacky places.

Places that absolutely no one would expect fnaf to go. Then William and Henry got their names dropped, and suddenly every au became Toxic old man yaoi with family drama on the side.

Again, don't take this the wrong way, I'm just venting.
