Conspiracy Theories
We’re living in an era of extreme change. One of the foremost clues to this fact is the proliferation of conspiracy theories. I should know this. Fringe religious movements—such as the one I grew up in—were experts at using conspiracy talk to keep their followers coming back for more. Heck, you didn’t want to miss […]
The Decorum IRL
The concept of the decorum is core to Jellybean’s world. The founding of this concept comes from my wish to avoid—in our world—the dangers that come when a new “magic” begins its ascent. Jelly’s story is not a literal representation of anything happening in the real world. Their story represents the symbolic cycle that occurs […]
The Prison of Imagined Worlds
I struggled over who should write this post—me or my character Jellybean Reds. While Jellybean’s world is a great way to communicate about ideas without raising too many hackles, I believe that my life experience might be better utilized for what I have to say. As you may know from previous posts, I grew up […]
Caught in the Middle
As I’ve written before, I don’t like to write about me. However, considering the division we face, I feel that the life experiences of a neuro-diverse and empathic person might come in handy. First off, I’ve been bullied most of my life. People on the left may feel that this bullying certainly came from the […]
Why I Keep the Portal
I want people to believe in the Magic again I want people to wonder at those things that defy explanation I want people to believe in the creativity that lights their soul and the passion that guides their heart I want people to embrace the serenity of nature so that they can always be connected […]
Chaos Theory
Chaos creates change. I write this because too many people believe that happiness comes from striving after perfection. Lives must be instagram-ready to be worthy. Yet, instagram-ready lives are rarely interesting. The biggest secret that truly well rounded people won’t tell you—unless they think you’re mentally ready for it—is that true happiness only comes once […]
Space
When I look up at the sky at night I see a vast space filled with twinkling stars. I, being an empath, envy all that space. I’m an empath. I’m also a neuro-diverse person. I sense things that others do not. One of things that I sense is space—or the lack thereof. In social situations […]
Origins – Little Creatures
Every creation has an origin story. The little creatures of Jelly’s World are no different. In Jelly’s story, the little creatures’ origins are tied to the mysterious and powerful Magic that Jellybean discovers when they are ten. Together with their younger sister, Poppy, they unleash not only their imaginations, but a fair bit of chaos […]
U ni QUE
Hi, my name is Tessla Queen and I’m the portal keeper to Jelly’s World. The first thing you’ll probably notice about Jelly’s World is that it’s different from anything that you have experienced before. This is no accident. I’m both neuro-diverse and gender queer. My life experiences have always been through the lens of someone […]
The Magic IRL
The “Magic” is the main reason Jelly’s story came into existence. The Magic, in Jelly’s world, represents an unknowable higher power which allows the created Realms in their story to exist. I’ll let Jellybean explain the cosmology of how this all works, but my intention of building this world, based on the Magic, is to […]
