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.

Maverick
I’m a maverick. I have been ever since I was young. I have no desire to do things the tried and true way. Part of this stubbornness has to do with the fact that I am on the autism spectrum. How I operate isn’t easily plugged into the plug and play world that society structures […]
