So now that everyone can watch it, last week I went and saw #TheAmazingDigitalCircus #TheLastAct in theaters. And I have spoiler filled thoughts so heads up and don't read the thread below if you don't want to see spoilers.

So we dive really deep into Jax's backstory and how he doesn't feel comfortable being open about his feelings and his guilt about hurting his mother. When he is open he feels defensive whenever someone is being empathetic to him. He doesn't want pity but he desperately wants to be understood.

Especially during Pride Month this show tackles many different levels of mental health that can arise from people who are LGBTQ+. While these conditions aren't entirely exclusive to the group it does very much connect to us strongly. I know I've had to tackle a few of these things myself.

Then there's the reveal that our characters aren't the real people they thought they were. They're just copies of them from a tumultuous time in their lives. So we get the message of don't worry this time will pass and you will be able to get through it. It made me tear up because it's true.

I'm way happier now that I fully understand my pansexuality and my clear male identity. Am I a bit effeminate at times sure but I'm genuinely solidified in who I am and that wasn't where I was some 4-5 years ago. You might be in a deep dark hole today but that's not where you're going to be forever.
