Jason, in the hospital after being shot: At first I was really scared. Then when I realized it was just a shoulder wound, I calmed down. Actually, I passed out, but I did it calmly.
Age is truly just a foreign concept in Odyssey and there are no true answers but here are my headcannons:
Katrina is older than Eugene from somewhere to a few months upto a year and a half.
Eugene was 17-18 when he was hired at Whit’s End but is widely assumed to be older because of his voice and academic level but he 100% looked his age.
The writers said on the official pod Jay's age is a dependent variable. So I think when Jay is hanging out with Zoey, Buddy, or any of the other middle schoolers he is 13/14. With the rare exception, Jay is otherwise 17 however his appearance is still skued toward the 13/14.(this might be because of his height but that's a different headcannon) These numbers only apply to album 58 and beyond before that he is younger and is more consistent in age.
Jason is in his 40s.
Connie still hasn't quite reached her 30s but is almost there. I know she's still earning her degree but if Eugene is any indication 10yrs is not an unreasonable amount of time for a degree from CCCC. Plus I think she's swapped majors like 3 times.
Eugene and Katrina are very early 30s
Whit despite being born in 1925/26 is an ageless being of perpetual Eldersness and is therefore older than anyone in a given room and yet, still possess the ability to out-manuver the authorities both physically and mentally
Jack and Wilson are also ageless beings but not on Whit's level.
Tom lived just out of town and so aged normally, I guess. I have no evidence but I feel like he was born in 1931.
Bernard despite being one of the original "old men that make up Connie’s friend group" is good decade or so younger than Tom and Whit, still way older than Connie though.
How do you guys feel about agent Jillian? Personally, I enjoyed the twist. I'm hoping to see the real Jillian in more episodes. When she was first introduced, I didn't mind her, but she slowly got more annoying to me although she still had her moments. I didn't enjoy how the show kept trying to force Jason and Jillian together as a couple before the reveal though. Jason probably wouldn't even want to be friends with Jillian let alone a couple. "Flighty" Jillian just doesn't seem very compatible with Jason.
Although I see plenty of potential post reveal, albeit with a little more of Jillian's character fleshed out independently of Jason would be nice before the show tries to pair them together.
Just jumped into the 1000 Episode Fan Art link and grabbed Episode 334, The Final Conflict! I have a solid idea for The Final Conflict fanart entry, and I really hope FotF likes it! I grew up with some of the Odyssey cartoons, but it was the Blackgaard Chronicles that got me into the radio program and made me realize that the world AiO takes place in is much larger than the cartoons suggested. And in my opinion, The Blackgaard Chronicles is about hope and despair: Some of the characters are full of hope (Whit, Jack, Jason, etc), Eugene and Richard are somewhere in the middle given their experiences with forgiveness and redemption, and then there's the arc's namesake, who's full of despair (Blackgaard).
To me, Dr. Blackgaard in The Final Conflict is what you get when despair enters a morally broken soul. He wants eternal life, but without the Jesus part, because that would mean changing himself, and that bothers him more than he lets on. I want my piece to convey that brokenness, not enough to concern FotF and be denied, but just enough to show what despair looks like.
And yeah, I'm probably overthinking this arc to a degree, but whenever I hear Earl Boen's performance in the Final Conflict, the word 'despair' tends to come to mind.
One of these characters is a conservative cis straight white man who treats people like crap, uses the law to further his own ambitions, is hotheaded and reckless, refuses to listen to nor respect others' people opinions because he wants things done his way, and is generally a huge selfish asshole.
Share this so we can get an a good count of what kind of ships people have! Let me know if I missed anyone typically shipped with him. Connie ship poll coming next!
Just popping on here to remind everyone with all the Pedro Pascal thirsting happening that I fancast him as Jason in 2020 and cause some major discourse. That is all.
28 Hours was epic but I haven't done a relisten of all the relevant episodes so I haven't developed any deep thoughts apart from that it made me completely 180 on my opinion of Jillian. And Sky Feldstein.
I was completely blindsided by Jillison. When I saw people were shipping them or complaining that the writers were setting them up, I was most just confused. Before Nightmares by Constance, they barely interacted, and even then, I thought that Jillian's interest in him was just establishing she was boy crazy in general. I mean, she also crushed on Connie's smoke detector.
After Game Night I understand it but I could take or leave it. I don’t really care either way as long as it is well executed.
The writers on the cartoon: Okay we write a story where Whit and the gang travel to Palestine to rescue missing scientists one being them a government agent but we decided not to use the agent character who already has a established design and in main cast for a decade now :)
I'm still amazed how adventures In Odyssey saw a character that was meant to be a good looking wholesome badass and decided to turn him into the exact opposite
Like what part of this design is wholesome badass?
jason whittaker has so much in common with dick grayson (esp agent 37) its...kinda insane. however....these fandoms do not rlly overlap so ill never be able to talk about it
