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 marshmallow-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 took refuge inside during a downpour.

more to be added

Worldbuilding

Universes

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

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.
  • The Jenny Jenny shifts into is "stylish", with a leather jacket. Her outfit is mostly studded with metal, with small amounts of colour to add variety, and spikey, intimidating boots.
  • The Jenny she shifted into is slightly paler than herself. She's happy she isn't in a white version of herself, as she finds the experience to be "off".
  • When Jenny sets off to find shelter, she decides the ego of the Jenny she is inside could take a hit, running like a child.

Fiction

  • A "sweet little boy" is the protagonist of a book and its sequel, as well as its film adaption.
  • 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

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.
