— Jax to Pomni: Pilot

FunnyBunny is the het ship between Pomni and Jax from The Amazing Digital Circus fandom.

Canon

Pilot

Pomni suddenly materializes in the circus and bumps into Jax, causing him to make Gangle and Kinger fall down.

Pomni observes her new circus mates around her. Jax asks Caine whether Pomni's an NPC or a new character, telling Caine that if she's the latter, they'll have to redo the theme song, much to his annoyance.

Pomni frantically pulls at her body in an attempt to remove a "headset". Jax sarcastically encourages her to "keep grabbing at it", saying it worked for him and the others.

Pomni asks how she can leave the circus. Ragatha attempts to calmly explain to Pomni that she can't leave before being interrupted by Jax bluntly stating she can't. Jax informs Pomni that he and the others have been in the circus for years. He tells her Kinger has supposedly been there for the longest, saying that's why he's crazy while he nudges Pomni and motions his finger around before chuckling and leaving. Pomni hyperventilates before speaking in a panicky manner, saying that her being in the circus is just a dream and that she should just play along until she wakes up. Jax simply answers "Whatever you say, kid."

Jax asks Caine if they'll be having an adventure for Pomni since she's a new character. Caine replies saying he'd like to give her a tour of the circus grounds first. After the tour, Pomni asks Caine if she saw an exit door and if that's a way to leave. Jax responds with skepticism, saying that if there was an exit, everyone would have left already before being choked by Zooble's arm.

After Zooble gets taken apart by the Gloinks, Jax quips "Oh no, they killed Zooble." in a deadpan manner and asks Pomni and Ragatha if they want to go get something to eat. Ragatha suggests they go check on Kaufmo.

When Kinger's telling Pomni she might be going insane for thinking an exit exists, Pomni argues that means it's more likely to exist since Kaufmo was talking about it. Jax replies saying she could just have a jump start to losing her mind. When Pomni says that her being in the circus is a dream again, Jax is amused at the fact that she still thinks she's in a dream.

Pomni, Jax and Ragatha team up together to check on Kaufmo. When they arrive at Kaufmo's bedroom door, Jax mocks Pomni by sarcastically remarking that it's all a dream. Pomni is in a dissociative bout. Jax taps Pomni's face to snap her back to reality. Jax unlocks the door to see an abstracted Kaufmo. He gets a bowling ball that he was looking for and thanks Kaufmo for looking after it before immediately vanishing, leaving Pomni and Ragatha to fend for themselves.

Jax and Pomni can be seen sitting next to each other at the dining table with the rest of the circus members at the end of the episode, but do not interact.

Candy Carrier Chaos!

Jax is one of the people present in Pomni's nightmare at the beginning of the episode that showcases her fear of abandonment, saying, "I don't even remember her name, honestly!" with a wide smile.

Jax and Pomni are both present during the Candy Carrier Chaos adventure.

Once the "war rig" the group will be using to chase the robbers is revealed, Jax and Pomni are shown reacting to it at the same time, with Jax being delighted seeing the truck hit somebody, and looking over at Pomni, who looks tired and wonders what time period the kingdom is supposed to be from at all.

On the ride in the truck after the burglars, Pomni sits silently, until Jax grabs her by the neck and throws her out of the truck at the one they're chasing, cheerfully proclaiming this is how she will help and show the team's assertiveness. Pomni grabs onto both trucks, with her hands elongating in much an unrealistic manner, and groans. Jax peeks out of the truck, and upon seeing this, says loudly that's exactly what she needs to do for now. Pomni is incredibly mad at it and stares down the spot he disappeared to, calling him an asshole, which gets censored. Then, Jax reappears, lazily lamenting he can't find the weapon he wanted to use to attack alongside Pomni, in much of a fake manner. He eventually pulls it out and voices that he's going to cross to the burglars' truck over Pomni's stretched out hands, at which Pomni looks sick, yells, "Are you kidding me?!", and lets go of the truck he's on. Jax congratulates her on the move, then immediately drops the fake cheer and snarkily says he has no bridge to cross over now.

Once one of the burglars appears, trying to reach Pomni from inside of the truck, Jax shoots him off. Then, he offers for Gangle to ram the truck they're on into the one of the burglars', despite Pomni still being on it – he ignores Ragatha pointing that out explicitly, and says it'll be "epic", and goes so far as to manipulate Gangle to do it. Pomni is shocked by that, and yells at the team over it, not knowing the exact culprit.

Quotes

Ponmi – “Everything’s been- I’m doing fine.”

Its rival pairings are Jagatha and ButtonBlossom. The ship has an infamous reputation involving content farming channels, where they would sponsor the ship in often crude interpretations. Despite this, fans genuinely enjoy the pairing for reasons such as their comedic dynamic and contrasting characterization that makes an interesting relationship. Another possible reason for the ship's birth relies on the fact Jax and Pomni are extremely popular and beloved characters in the fandom, thus they were shipped together.
