Hey dear viewers, welcome to Jax’s channel!
[cue sound effect: cheers]
Many of you have wondered how I, quote on quote, magically break through the forth wall, and am able to interact with y’all. So today I am…
[cue sound effect: drum roll]
…going to reveal the mystery!
Before we jump right into the topic, remember to like and subscribe @JaxisthecoolestandisbetterthanKingerPomniGangleZoobleCaine…(this goes on)
[Pomni on the side: Eh, why don’t you just change it to Jax is the coolest and the best?]
Give me a sec…
[Jax out of the scene: Because I don't want anyone randomly tagging me, it's annoying. Now shut up and run along somewhere else.]
[Jax moving back to scene]
So! The art of breaking the forth wall, that’s what I call it, is basically divided into three parts:
First, you have to be a cartoon character! Like me! Rubbery skin, easily dilated pupils, and…
[Zooble passing by: Exaggerated movements.]
……Can all of you just like, move swiftly along or something?
[Zooble: As if we want to see you talking to thin air…HEY!!!!]
[Jax elbowing her out of the way]
Don’t imitate that: violations, dangerous, and whatever, okay back on track! The second step gets harder, so get prepared!
[cue sound effect: gasp]
You know those feelings when you KNOW someone is watching you? You just have to turn your gaze towards that origination, and be confident enough to assume you are looking at the audience!
[Kinger: Like when someone abstracted, and those eyes…]
Okay! Em, nice one Kinger, but…
[Kinger: Me too, I could still sense Queenie’s…]
HEY Kinger! I think there’s a butterfly over there.
[Jax stepping away and taking a deep breath]
I’m back! SO! If you manage to locate the spot, you’re two thirds over there! The last step is the most essential one: building a connection! You have to understand who you are talking to, or in other words, who is your audience? What do THEY want from you? AND how do you get your message across, or “presentation”!
Repeating themes, tropes, strings up a series of events! For example, Gangle’s comedy mask getting smashed to the ground! This…
[Gangle: Uhm, but not anymore, I guess?]
Can all of you just mind your own businesses? I am trying to entertain my audiences. Leave.
[Ragatha: Jax. You are a step away from entering kaufmo’s room.]
Wait…what…?
[Kinger: Are you sure that the sense of gaze you’re feeling is not from Ribbit?]
Hold on…
[Pomni: What if I abstracted tomorrow?]
[Caine: Into the cellar you GOOO!]
Wait…
[Bubble: Oops!]
Stop! Please, stop!
[Pomni: What if I abstracted tomorrow?]
[Pomni: What if I abstracted tomorrow?]
[Pomni: What if I abstracted tomorrow?]
SHUT UP!!!

Jax woke. He shouldn’t be feeling sweaty but he did. He clinged onto his mattress for what felt for an eternity, before finally getting up.
A dark thought tugged on the corner of his mind:
[If I have to abstract one day, today seems fitting…]
[What do you think?]
