A World of Pure Unimagination was a short story released as the first instalment in Xavier Llewellyn's Everywhere's Extraordinary Escapades series.[1] It was co-published between Realms of Ink and The Cheshire House.
The story parodied the then-recent Willy's Chocolate Experience in Glasgow, as well as tying into the Doctor Who expanded universe; for the first time, an incarnation of Jenny Everywhere native to the Third Universe was shown to exist in licensed media, however The Late Shift predated this story by over twenty years in an unofficial capacity.
Contents
Plot
Despite being apprehensive about travelling there, Jenny Everywhere has shifted into the Jenny native to the Third Universe following the catastrophic Unravel. On a snowy planet, Jenny rescues two stranded Pinguis, Bibendum and Puff Tremayne; in doing so, seeing their mashmallow-like appearance, Jenny develops a craving for chocolate.
Deciding to "indulge after a job well done", she shifts to a universe, with merely a "vague idea" resembling a film she watched as a child, reminiscing about her granny criticising its lack of diversity and her crush on the young protagonist that lasted up until high school. She shifts mentally into another Jenny's stylish body.
However, the universe is not quite as she expected: she is in Glasgow, on 24 February 2024, according to a local newspaper she read in a newsagent's she

Worldbuilding
Universes
- The Third Universe is infamous among multiversal hitchhikers for its temporal mutability. To put it another way, the universe was had "unfathomably baffling" paradoxes, a result of time being continually rewritten by "careless" time travellers.
- The Third Universe is named as such in the Council of Frogs's nomenclature.
- Upon recognising the Pinguis appearance as resembling marshmallows, she thinks to herself "it [takes] all sorts to make an omniverse".
- Jenny Everywhere originated from an unnamed universe. She had her granny and bullies in her life growing up.
- An insane Hyperspace Tyrant once ran a tour of his whimsical factory in one dimension, which Jenny blundered into.
The Unravel
- As a shifter, Jenny is uniquely qualified to help after the Unravel.
- The Unravel didn't just affect the Third Universe, but many other universes too.
- The Unravel caused meta-historical fallout.
Species
- The Pinguis scientific name is Pinguicorpus homo.
- There name may evoke that of the species of flightless birds, but they are unrelated.
- She gives the two Pinguis a device to escape the planet.
Locations
- There is a King of England in Jenny’s native universe and the one with Willy McDuff's chocolate factory. In the latter, his face is printed on plastic banknotes.
Individuals
- Jenny thinks "for God's sake" when remembering the Hyperspace Tyrant she previously met.
- Walter and Jesse are partners in crime who run a crystal meth lab. Jenny is reminded of them upon seeing the duo of Wonkidoodles, Janine and Courtesy, working at their table with laboratory equipment.
- Wonkidoodles resemble the "love-children" of Donald Trump and a Hobbit.
Jenny Everywhere
- Achron is a male aviator pilot from the 1930s.
- Jenny watched a film about a a magical factory as a child with her granny.
- As a child, Jenny often formed emotional attachments to characters behind television screens, a part of her feeling that she could meet them someday, if only she knew how.
- Jenny’s discovery of her multiversal powers is a story left untold.
- Jenny’s crush lasted up until high school, where she separated herself from her childhood in a futile attempt to make the bullying stop. A silving lining did come from this, as Jenny learnt a lot about people and this shaped who she became.
- Jenny experiences a moment of dizziness after shifting.
Fiction
- A "sweet little boy" is the protagonist of a book and its sequel, as well as its film adaption.
- The plot of the first book and its film adaption involve five white children, four of which are also spoiled and greedy, visiting a magical chocolate factory.
- The film is set in an ambiguously Germanic town.
- Jenny Everywhere's granny criticises the film due to how, despite children being chosen from across the world, all the children were white. While Jenny understands that the children werent chosen but had lucked, bought and earned their ways in, she doesn't argue. She is a little resentful that nobody like her — a Native American — got to experience the magic.
- Jenny knows that the sequel to the book had many "weird things in it", but even then couldn't be blamed for a character such as the Unknown.
Food and drink
- The Pinguis resemble "sugar-bag-sized" marshmallows, which reminds her of smores. This sparks her craving for chocolate.
- The newsagent's in Glasgow stocks wrapped chocolate.
- The table Janine and Courtesy work at has a clutter of vials and flasks containing jelly beans (also called sugar beans), and polystyrene cups with just the smallest splash of Gevity in them, in a futule attempt to imply they were the concoctions of their "wacky chemistry".
- Courtesy had been instructed by McDuff to only give the children a single jelly bean, and not only did she consider this to be unfair, she also found it poor that she couldn't even give out chocolate.
- Jenny mockingly calls Willy McDuff "McDuff Beer".
Continuity
- This story mentions the Council of Frogs, who debuted in PROSE: The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids, and it alludes to the Doomsday Book, which was established in PROSE: The Grand Multiverse Hotel.
- Jenny Everywhere having a grandmother was first shown in COMIC: Jenny Everywhere Vs Hell. However, while in that story her granny was shown in a negative depiction, the Jenny in A World of Pure Unimagination has a more fond connection to hers.
- This story alludes to COMIC: The Late Shift, given it features the Third Universe's Jenny Everywhere.
- Furthermore, the beginning of the story is set in the Third Universe, specifically using that name; such a name was established in PROSE: Resurrection of the Author.
Behind the scenes
- Jenny’s memory of an insane Hyperspace Tyrant running a whimsical factory is an allusion to Joe Vever's parodical Doctor Who YouTube video Pure Exterminatation, wherein the Gold Dalek (humorously named "Dalek Donka") from Day of the Daleks is now running a chocolate factory. This video was also a parody of Willy's Chocolate Experience.
