This is probably a very late-game spoiler, so I won't ask for any really big details, but can we have some insight into chain-hair Jessie? I was going thru the idletry tag (very funny to see you say you werent sold on the name 'Jessie' when now that's been her name so long) and I don't see it a lot but it seems significant and I wondered what Jessie was thinking giving herself that hair.
as well, this is silly, but do you have any voices for the characters in idletry? I have been hearing Avery in my head as Michaela Coel since she said "emmy emms gnome" :) thank you for reading
hi. you're right. they are spoilers.
chains are a recurring theme that connects to the philosophy of fatalism in idletry. jessie's chain hair is a change made in act 3 to represent how all of them -- even her -- are trapped within the story's chain of events opposite to the end of the fated outcome of the events, the ending of the story. at such a point in the story, jessie has embraced the fact that she is less of a person or a god and more of a representational element in the fabric of the story given tools to serve a purpose.
i made a joke about jessie pre-godhood sounding like peridot from SU and post-godhood sounding like jasper instead. shiloh i imagine having a raspy sickly kind of voice like kate bush or natasha lionne without the accent... to be frank, i heard avery's voice being the penguin from bojack horseman, also--
“Robert Pattinson showed up with iPhone voice recordings and had already nailed the voice for ‘THE BOY AND THE HERON’ before recording started. It was his first ever voice role and he finished in 2 days.” (source)
my prof just explained on the syllabus that he’s included more points in the class than we needed to pass, so we could skip up like?? 20 small assignments/quizzes/participation!! and still get a very high grade!!
the idea was that we could focus on assignments that played to our strengths - only do the participation stuff if we like to talk out loud - only do the quizzes/readings if we want to do the class remotely - only do online discussions if we like to talk and share opinions but struggle with anxiety in class ect.
and that’s cool enough but then he pulled up DnD character sheets with drawings he’d done of these hypothetical student player classes and how our various accessibility needs could be gamified to ‘max out’ different aspects of the class to get high grades and like!!!!!
hell yeah!!!! let’s treat accessibility in higher education not just as a necessity but as the fun, engaging, and creative aspect of learning that it is!!! I love this!!

I have a feeling that beneath the little halo on your noble head
There lies a thought or two the devil might be interested to know
You're like the finish of a novel that I'll finally have to take to bed
You fascinate me so
i went to get my t-shot yesterday and it took me an hour and a half to get to the clinic and as soon as i got on the bed the nurse dropped my t-shot and it broke and now they're trying to make me pay for the replacement. i think the fuck not lmao
Funny things I found out playing with language setting in Netflix while looking episode 15:
Chilchuck's scream sounds HAUNTED in brazilian portuguese. Give it a try if you can.
(You can hear it here)
In spanish dub, Senshi says: "tocó mis senos de hombre", which means "he touched my man boobs" in Spanish. And I think that's the best dub line one so far.
